Broke down in Helper in our bus headed to Las Vegas to get married. From the moment I stepped out of the bus to assess the damage we were welcomed. From the Trucker at the overlook "where the video begins " to the diesel shop that took us in and allowed me to rebuild my engine in their shop. Thanks Don. We were treated like family or better. We have made several trips back. We even had our wedding with our Utah family a few years later. A blessing from God we lost our engine and gained family. Never made it to Las Vegas, and never regretted it.
I am a resident of Helper who is just 26 years old. This is such an amazing video! Thank you for visiting our town and highlighting for the world to see. 300k views is incredible for little ol Helper
Never imagined that I would be watching some of the very old and beautiful towns of Utah. It couldn't not have been possible without out your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
There are few that are really neat to visit. I live here in Utah and have spent some time in a few of them. Brigham city is another nice little town as well Heber.
I'm watching these videos religiously, from Newcastle UK. Adding them to the places we will definitely visit. Fascinating!! We love getting off the beaten track while over in America. Thanks mate
It's Saturday morning...must be time for a main street ramble with Joe! Another cat-less episode, but the muffler man sighting more than makes up for that. The bank sign in Helper would look great in your man cave (you're gonna need a bigger cave🙂) I passed through Helper and Price in 2017 on my way to see the Nine Mile Canyon petroglyphs--the art community has really blossomed since then. Looking forward to seeing your swing to the southern states...happy trails!
Hi Joe This is one more gem from you. This is one of the coolest of your videos you posted in the last few months. What a beautiful vintage downtown! What a beautiful hilly background! ***** Best wishes for the journey ahead!
One of the reasons why I love your videos, and what sets you apart from other UA-camrs, is your knowledge and appreciation of architecture. I find myself nodding and verbalizing, "Yes, I agree," and so on along with your commentary. The mural in Price reminds me of the work of Diego Rivera, somewhat in style, but more overtly in subject matter. There is an amazing mural in the Detroit Institute of Arts by Rivera that puts the worker (the auto industry factory worker) front and center and the "boss man" a comparatively smaller character. The mural in Price seems to pay homage in a similar way to the men and women who get things done every day, sometimes risking their lives.
Way cool I have passed through Helper before, neat scenery out in the bee hive state, I think maybe I'm mistaken but out of the western states I think Utah has the most different scenery views. Thank you for the video.
I've spent some time in Price, Utah in the Summers of 1987, 1989, and '90. Wonderful Place. I used to walk to the Top of those Flat topped Mountains and see Storms coming in from Salt Lake City. I'd take Great Music and listen to it on my headphones just Daydreaming at all the Beauty in front of me. It was like being in Your own Real Live Video with those Amazing backdrops.
Two more amazing towns! I love how Helper has preserved their past. It’s a gorgeous town with an incredible backdrop! The river adds to the charm. The old gas station and murals are fantastic! The church and movie theatre in Price are stunning! The murals are provocative. Thank you for a great video!!
There are very few manned helper engines in the U.S. nowdays. Most of the engines you see are added into trains as DPUs or Distributed Power Units that are in remote control from the lead engine. Excellent video, liked it much!
In Helper Utah, the helper engines are places in the middle of a coal train. The coal train is around 104 cars with DPUs. Once the northbound train reaches Helper, the train is split in the middle and helper engines are added, and the train is recoupled. The helper engines the help push the train up through Kyune, (which is amongst the steepest R&R grades in America) and up to Colton, UT. Once at Colton, the helper engines are then removed from the train. The train continues north and the helper engines go back down Price Canyon to Helper and wait for another coal train. I worked for Union Pacific RR as a train conductor for about 3 years and ran this route a couple of times.
Hi, new to your channel and was drawn to your content on travel and sharing both large and small cities. Every city has a story and charm and your channel differs from others by visiting these smaller towns. Thank you and Safe Travels!
I love the murals. They definitely tell a story. If I was there I would have to chat with some locals to see what it's all about. I've never traveled west so these videos are very interesting to see. Thanks for sharing and safe travels. God bless.
Thank you so much for sharing this! My family has a history in Helper and it was always a joy to get to visit. You captured everything so well. It's nice to "get out of town" when you can't get out, so thank you so much for this, you did a great job!
Was this filmed in the morning in Helper there is not a lot of people walking about. but clearly they must expect lots of customer . love your videos I am in the UK even in most Towns and villages there more people walking about during the day in the UK.
What a beautiful city. Very clean and all that you all that would need. Outside of the city the view can’t be beat. I would love to wake up every day to see that. I am going to have to go on cross country tour more of the West. It is gorgeous and has so much to offer.
From Utah and the church in Price was built for the large Serbian population who came to work the Coal mines in the nearby hills. The electric character in the mural was known as 'Ready Kilowatt" and was the mascot for the old Utah Power and Light Company back in the 60s and 70s. He was featured in TV commercials during that era.
I am not sure my Greek friends would agree. Hellenic not Serbian, Guess there were a few. I know more Croats and Austrian/Slovenians, but they were Catholic.
I am afraid we are going to have to disagree as my aunt married a Serbian Orthodox man in that exact church nearly a half century ago. The Serbs and Croats worked the mines around Price, the Greeks did not!
Not disagreeing with you. I lived there, in amongst the greeks. Did not say there were no Serbians, just didn’t know they were there, personally. I am sure they were welcomed at the Hellenic Church. There were “greek towns in Hiawatha and Columbia. Some did work in the mines, many were sheepherders and many owned multiple businesses. The current mayor is Greek.
I never said there were no Greeks in Price and surrounding burgs. Never said that! What I said was that the Serbs & Croats worked the coal mines in Carbon County like my Uncle-in-Law. I doubt Carbon County has ever had a population over 20,000 people so, be it Greek, Croat or Serb there really weren't that many of any of these ethnicities in that area. Mostly WASP's and adherence to the LDS faith comprised the majority of that county's population. Enough said.
Man what a great film as per usual. I'll admit I've not watched your excellent films for sometime now, no excuse, I've a lot of catching up to do! All the best to you both.
Such a fun walk through these towns! Price has a great museum, I think it was Native American and dinosaurs. We were there in June and really enjoyed it.
An awesome video, as always ! I love both of these towns, so many beautiful old treasures, and gorgeous signage. It's great to see most of the old buildings being re-purposed, and that the original character and signage have been retained. That mountain backdrop is amazing ! Thanks so much, Joe and Nic, very enjoyable as always.😊💚
WHAT BEAUTIFUL STUNNING COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMERICA IS BEAUTIFUL, REAL BEAUTIFUL....TOO BAD I AM STUCK DOWN HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, THE SWAMP...THAT IS WHAT I CALL IT...
Oz here/ thanks again Joe, love your work. The Murals are just wonderful to see. I stay up late in Australia to catch your vids when U upload. Your work is historically important and so lovely is the way you do them, please think about putting them onto a CD / etc... I,d buy those, as the historical value is great- before things change and some is lost. Hello to Nicole ! My son is about to visit USA for a month end of year and I,ve got him to watch your vids in preparation.
I used to live in the Pocatello area, back around 1991 I worked in a small nursing home. One of the residents, an elderly man, his mother was one of the original handcart pioneers. I had no idea about Helper, but I did live in Grand Junction. When I see those Utah mountains, I think dinosaurs. Some scientists believe that the earliest earth crust formation took place around the Utah border with Colorado. I was watching a documentary about the handcart pioneers. The first two groups made a successful crossing. The third group waited too long. A man from the group got up and made a very impassioned speech, imploring then not to leave, since it was too late in the season. Because of the first two successful crossings, the third group decided against the man's warning, to have faith and just go. It was a horrific disaster. The accounts are just mind numbing to imagine. And then they had to sit it out to wait for help. The helper scouts did not know where to look, which delayed rescue. It was real interesting to see in the documentary how the pioneers reacted in the face of impending doom. One guy who was pulling a cart, he just started crying like a baby. Another pioneer walked up to him and slapped his face. It seemed cruel at the time, but it was what the crying man needed to save himself, instead of dying right there in the snow storm, because he stopped crying and started pulling his cart again. Movement in those circumstances kept people from freezing to death. Anyone who has been in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, and nearby during winter knows how cold it gets there.
I was wondering when Joe was walking through Helper , how cold it must be in winter wind blowing down from the mountains 😢😂 .sorry beautiful in summer and fall but Mami in the winter .stay safe guys and healthy still one of the best site / clips / videos on FB 🙏💚☘️
Thanks for your virtual tour for people like me - who cannot visit USA due to various reasons. enjoying your way of showing various locations. the mountains are really awesome - majestic.
I have hitchhiked through Helper at least a few times years ago. There is a shelter in Helper--I stayed there a few times. I think the last time I hitchhiked through Helper was back in 2006 or 2007.
Did you go all the way down main street? There’s more murals if you would’ve went further North. Glad you made it down Highway 6 safely! A LOT of lives have been lost lately on that road.😢 Glad you liked Helper! There’s also old cars in that garage door by the motorcycle shop.
the Mural in Price had the orthodox church painted on in, just like you showed. I think the Mural is the industries in Price area, Farming, Coal, Mining, Salt, Electricity, Cattle ect. with the churches a part of it, basically work hard and go to church - sounds like Utah.
I love learning about these small towns from your perspective Joe. Always informative, interesting and educational. I hope you and Nic get some rest in Dallas. I’ll be here for your next production. Keep up the great work. In Helper, you walked past a building which had a sign saying it was The State Liquor Agency. Do you recall if that was a tavern or some State office. Just kind of curios. Thanks. Ed.
On the mural at 18:54, the electric bolts stick figure with the lightbulb nose is: Reddy Kilowatt, a cartoon character that served as a corporate spokesman for electricity generation in the United States and other countries for over seven decades.
Thx for the travels. Really enjoy historical wall murals depicting pioneer days, the revolution of industries, and agriculture. All that lay the foundation of a great nation. Respect & may it never be erased. You're awesome with the stats too, Joe. Hi Nicole!
Hi Joey and Nicole, I hope that you both are doing well. This is Bobby from NJ. You both do a great job with the videos. I enjoy watching them. Lately I have had to do some catch up because I am trying to move from North Jersey to South Jersey. I remeber that last time that I had a message from you that you said that you would be back in NJ in the fall. Is that still happening? I would still love to meet you both. I could show you both a lot of interesting sites. Cowtown Rodeo, and other places.
The Western Railroad and Mining Museum is fun. And if you want to see a different sort of art gallery, head on down through Price and Wellington and then up to Nine Mile Canyon.
Hey guys, just discovered your side and hit the subscribe button. Cool video! There is another historic Railroad town in Utah. You might want to check out Heber city. They offer rides on the Railroad stunning Mountain View’s ! Another really cool town which is Park city Utah! Which is also very close to Sundance film Festival We had an advertising agency in Salt Lake City Utah back in the 80s absolutely loved Utah Even though we weren’t Mormon, I thought they were absolutely wonderful people and never experienced any prejudiced doing business there!
Love your content Joe & Nic! So many places i wouldn't have time to visit i've been able to see through your channel. I've only visited 4 states in the USA but plan to take a year and travel more of the southern states next time. People usually are so friendly in those states.. Cheers from Sweden.
Thank y'all's for the relaxing drive through my Hometown of Salt Lake. And. My Home State of Utah. Where my heart yearns to be, Right at this moment. The feel is FAR MORE RELAXED. Family Oriented. Than the lawless Nevada Territory. Where you are able to cut the tension with a knife. I'm sure there may haunted enclaves in Utah. Those demonic spirits cannot stand the light from All of The People's Hearts. Who. Love God soooooooooooo much there. That you must move to Utah. Besides being Texas' Little Brother... There truly is sooooooooooooo much history that shaped. Not only the State. The Entire Nation. With the 2002 Winter Olympics. In Salt Lake. Only 5 Months after the inside job of 9/11 occurred. Which brought this nation together. To heal. Which...Utah is STILL GROWING From those historic Winter Olympics. That made me PROUD To BE. A UTAHN. FOREVER!!! The list of places to visit is too numerous. However. May I request you to visit the historic Mountain Bike Capital of the World. Since y'all's nearby. In Moab, Utah. You'd be doing yourselves. And. Your viewers A Real Disservice. Not to visit there. The Beauty of The Region. Is PRICELESS!!! Visit the Entire Downtown District. With its STUNNING BACKDROPS!!! That you both will treasure. FOR A LIFETIME. You'll return for more. GUARANTEED!!! After Moab. Let The Holy Spirit guide you through the San Rafael Swell ( I - 70/ US 50 ) Follow 70 to the Utah 24 exit to Hanksville. Through the Big 5 MOST BEAUTIFUL National Parks IN THE WORLD!!! You won't regret it. Be safe out there. HAVE FUN!!!
We love visiting the small towns with you!! If you think it would be a good idea, how about finding the school buildings when you can. Thank you for taking us on road trips we can’t visit in person….we are too old to travel much anymore.
I would have sat down on that bench you pulled up to with a cup of coffee and a donut and just watched the world go by...😊
Im from Oman and this is exactly what we saw in American movies when we were kids . nostalgia 🥺
Broke down in Helper in our bus headed to Las Vegas to get married. From the moment I stepped out of the bus to assess the damage we were welcomed.

One of the best stories I've heard in a long time. Thanks for sharing.
Price Utah is okay but helper is somewhat kind of better, I use to live in Salt Lake, really miss the Mountains.
I am a resident of Helper who is just 26 years old. This is such an amazing video! Thank you for visiting our town and highlighting for the world to see. 300k views is incredible for little ol Helper
I just shot a street photography video there, was so much fun.
Utah is such a beautiful state. I've seen those mountains in the winter with the snow-capped peaks.....just gorgeous.
My. Olympus by Little Cottonwood Canyon!
We can't get enough of your channel!!!!

I like the mural in price. It shows sugar beets and a bag of sugar. I went to Jordan high school in Sandy and we are beetdiggers 😊
Thank you for your incredible videos! I have extreme anxiety and your videos calm me down so much. Have a blessed weekend 🫶
I am from the UK, and if i was a younger bloke i would love to visit Helper, it looks like a very nice place.
Thanks for sharing those lovely towns of UTAH.

Just something special about small towns that float my boat. The background shot from downtown is stunning.
Man what a great film as per usual. I'll admit I've not watched your excellent films for sometime now, no excuse, I've a lot of catching up to do! All the best to you both.
I really enjoy what you guys are doing. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Your videos are so cleverly done, and I'm visiting all these cities in real time.
Every day with a new video from you are the best day. ❤
Wow, thank you!
Such a fun walk through these towns! Price has a great museum, I think it was Native American and dinosaurs. We were there in June and really enjoyed it.

Thanks, CL!!
Late 70's early 80's helper,Utah was very close to shutting down do to coal mlines closing(I lived in price Utah around that time,6 miles from helper.
Thanks for sharing more of Utah....
Cute town! Glad to see they renovated the historic buildings! Art in any community revitalizes a city!
Been to Helper several times. Been to the Helper museum and found it interesting look at Helper's past, the railroad and moning past.
We passed through nice, tidy Utah on our recent roadtrip. Stayed overnight in a few of them. Missed dinner with Nic.
Thanks for another detailed video. Price and Helper seemed like great places to visit. The long mural was super duper. Sincerely, Jim Thornton
Thanks, Jim! 👍😀
Lots of fun old towns like this in Utah.
Wow what a place that Helper Is !
That is really beautiful where the road curves between cut cliffs.
Thank you for this video. What a beautyfull sights. Sure worth a visit
Wow! This was awesome!!! I always like your shows, but this was particularly interesting, thanks!
Thanks 😊 Joe and nic 😊
I am loving your video .Have good time this place and peace. Thank you very much!
Fantastic channel. Nice to relax and watch your trips!
WHAT BEAUTIFUL STUNNING COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMERICA IS BEAUTIFUL, REAL BEAUTIFUL....TOO BAD I AM STUCK DOWN HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, THE SWAMP...THAT IS WHAT I CALL IT...

Coal driven power plants....they are a coal mining town
Wow, that scenery is gorgeous! Love exploring towns as well... Nice share! 💙Terry and Terri
Thanks for watching!
I have driven by Helper multiple times and just never stopped. Guess I'll have to pull off the highway next time
Very cool 😎👍 been through there on the highway that runs through there many times driving a truck it's nice to see what I was missing
Thanks for your virtual tour for people like me - who cannot visit USA due to various reasons. enjoying your way of showing various locations. the mountains are really awesome - majestic.
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍😀
If you are interested in a town trapped in the 20s-40s, you should visit Los Vegas, New Mexico.
We have visited Las Vegas, New Mexico, and did a video. I don't think there is a Los Vegas? Is that a typo in your comment?
Love the murals in Price. The best I've ever seen!
They were amazing. 👍😀
👍Thanks, very interesting. Wasn't expecting a Greek Orthodox Church in Utah !👍
Price is a coalmining town. Many Greek miners, so that would be the reason for beautiful church.
Price’s current mayor is Greek. The mural was finished this year and he prepped the wall.
I have hitchhiked through Helper at least a few times years ago. There is a shelter in Helper--I stayed there a few times. I think the last time I hitchhiked through Helper was back in 2006 or 2007.
Did you go all the way down main street? There’s more murals if you would’ve went further North. Glad you made it down Highway 6 safely! A LOT of lives have been lost lately on that road.😢 Glad you liked Helper! There’s also old cars in that garage door by the motorcycle shop.
I loved your story about Helper!
Love it . Great looking town.
the Mural in Price had the orthodox church painted on in, just like you showed. I think the Mural is the industries in Price area, Farming, Coal, Mining, Salt, Electricity, Cattle ect. with the churches a part of it, basically work hard and go to church - sounds like Utah.
Those artworks on walls are incredible man!
I love learning about these small towns from your perspective Joe. Always informative, interesting and educational. I hope you and Nic get some rest in Dallas. I’ll be here for your next production. Keep up the great work. In Helper, you walked past a building which had a sign saying it was The State Liquor Agency. Do you recall if that was a tavern or some State office. Just kind of curios. Thanks. Ed.
In Utah the state controls all liquor sales, so that is what you saw. 👍
On the mural at 18:54, the electric bolts stick figure with the lightbulb nose is: Reddy Kilowatt, a cartoon character that served as a corporate spokesman for electricity generation in the United States and other countries for over seven decades.
Orange Crush ! Yum Yum .
My grandfather used to run the "helper" engine out of helper back in the 1950s through the 1960s. Always a fun place to visit.

I remeber that last time that I had a message from you that you said that you would be back in NJ in the fall. Is that still happening? I would still love to meet you both. I could show you both a lot of interesting sites. Cowtown Rodeo, and other places.
I love your channel. Hoping to move in the future, and you are truly helping me to find what I'm hoping for.
Was happy to see the drain pipe next to the theater.. useuly when there's a puddle next to a wall.... well you know.. all them yrs in Manhattan..
The Western Railroad and Mining Museum is fun. And if you want to see a different sort of art gallery, head on down through Price and Wellington and then up to Nine Mile Canyon.
Your road trip is the best in the world 🌎.alway watch your channel
Thank you! 😀
Thank you for another great video.
Very Good!!!!!
Hey guys, just discovered your side and hit the subscribe button. Cool video! There is another historic Railroad town in Utah. You might want to check out Heber city. They offer rides on the Railroad stunning Mountain View’s ! Another really cool town which is Park city Utah! Which is also very close to Sundance film Festival We had an advertising agency in Salt Lake City Utah back in the 80s absolutely loved Utah Even though we weren’t Mormon, I thought they were absolutely wonderful people and never experienced any prejudiced doing business there!
Love your content Joe & Nic! So many places i wouldn't have time to visit i've been able to see through your channel. I've only visited 4 states in the USA but plan to take a year and travel more of the southern states next time. People usually are so friendly in those states.. Cheers from Sweden.
Awesome, thank you!
It's amazing how many towns you visit, alot, where the businesses still operate but they're closed in the middle of the day.
Thank y'all's for the relaxing drive through my Hometown of Salt Lake.
And.
My Home State of Utah.
Where my heart yearns to be,
Right at this moment.
The feel is FAR MORE RELAXED.
Family Oriented.
Than the lawless Nevada Territory.
Where you are able to cut the tension with a knife.
I'm sure there may haunted enclaves in Utah.
Those demonic spirits cannot stand the light from All of The People's Hearts.
Who. Love God soooooooooooo much there.
That you must move to Utah.
Besides being Texas' Little Brother...
There truly is sooooooooooooo much history that shaped.
Not only the State.
The Entire Nation.
With the 2002 Winter Olympics.
In Salt Lake.
Only 5 Months after the inside job of 9/11 occurred.
Which brought this nation together.
To heal.
Which...Utah is STILL GROWING
From those historic Winter Olympics.
That made me PROUD
To BE.
A UTAHN.
FOREVER!!!
The list of places to visit is too numerous.
However.
May I request you to visit the historic Mountain Bike Capital of the World.
Since y'all's nearby.
In Moab, Utah.
You'd be doing yourselves.
And.
Your viewers
A Real Disservice.
Not to visit there.
The Beauty of The Region.
Is PRICELESS!!!
Visit the Entire Downtown District.
With its STUNNING BACKDROPS!!!
That you both will treasure.
FOR A LIFETIME.
You'll return for more.
GUARANTEED!!!
After Moab.
Let The Holy Spirit guide you through the San Rafael Swell ( I - 70/ US 50 )
Follow 70 to the Utah 24 exit to Hanksville.
Through the Big 5 MOST BEAUTIFUL National Parks
IN THE WORLD!!!
You won't regret it.
Be safe out there.
HAVE FUN!!!
We love visiting the small towns with you!! If you think it would be a good idea, how about finding the school buildings when you can. Thank you for taking us on road trips we can’t visit in person….we are too old to travel much anymore.
