- Road Trip on Ice! Doug Berry of the Eastern Sierra region of California and Nevada rides the Atmospheric River storm event. Kellie Zuniga, the curator of the Mineral County Museum of Hawthorne, Nevada accompanies him on the Pineapple Express storm event as it hits the Eastern Sierra. They XC Ski, Snowshoe, and have their vehicle break down on Anchorite Pass in Nevada. Mono County, California and Mineral County, Nevada.
Wow, you guys are a couple of brave souls getting out in a blizzard like that! Kellie is a certified Bad A for her snow driving skills over that narrow mountain pass!! That long stretch of road from Hawthorne to Bishop looks gorgeous, especially covered in snow. What an enjoyable adventure, and kudos to Kellie’s son for coming out to meet you guys. We got over a foot of snow here yesterday and it was delightful! Stay safe out there!
Hi G! I like that, "Kellie is a certified Bad A"...that's great! Over a foot?! Wow! I bet Pup was running around ensconced in glee! We will stay safe but those Bad A's like Kellie could be risk takers at heart. Enjoy the winter!
@@CalNeva Haha, nice, glad you like it! It’s true, she is a Bad A! And yes, the pup had a lot of fun, she loves snow just like her mama. Winter has finally arrived and it’s awesome. I look forward to your adventures out there!
My husband and I love your adventures .
Thank you Sue, so glad you both could come along with us on so many adventures!
Thank you so much for responding. Along time ago, I lived in Yerington. Now we live in Diamond Lake, WA. So I love seeing the area you show us. We're glad to see Kelly in the videos too! Have a great day!
Sheeeesh Brother! You guys had me holding on tight to my couch with this adventure! Glad you decided to turn around and get a little closer to home before you got snowed in, sure doesn't take long for roads to close in a big storm, as I have found out to my chagrin. But little scrapes like this adventure are what can make for great memories! That look Kellie gave you gave me a laugh! Sure happy you guys are back home safe ! 🇺🇸
Ha! That made me laugh! We want to make sure you hold on tight to your couch Dick, for safety's sake. I was a little disappointed as I was wanting to spend the night up on the mountain, if just for the thrill of it. It was 4' in the pinions up there this time last year. I had fun with this one my Brother!🇺🇸🫏
What a great adventure⛷ you guys always take everything in stride... I learned a lot about the 167 and the 359 in a winter snowstorm... obviously that's not the way the trucks come into town ! I remember a sign on that road saying something to the effect of that snow plows do not run after dark. Bet you were happy to get back to your warm home sweet home
Hi Marcus, all so true...the trucks do use those roads, just not as much. Yes, we were happy to get to our cozy little homes!
This weather you are experiencing reminds me of a vacation trip to Pennsylvania one January where I had to stay at a
motel overnight near the Interstate until morning. It was eventually plowed but they got 14" of snow that night. There were
plenty of semis off to the side parked on the Interstate with sleeper cabs . I think I should have took a trip towards Florida instead! Yup, just bad planning. Nothing like a wintery weather outdoor adventure guys! Steve from balmy Chicago, IL BTW come Thursday they say it will be 55 degrees, wow! Weird Winter indeed.
Hi Steve! Gee, you know, it sounds great up there in Chicagoland....being so warm and all. Perhaps we will take a nice winter vacation in Chicago to warm ourselves up a little and get out of this desert. I can see you have never forgotten your vacation to Pennsylvania...isn't it interesting how a little snow can make for such memories? Hope the heater worked in that motel!
Thx Doug and Kelly...great time to be by the fireside...lol
Glad the vehicle started...makes the case to carry a battery jumper under these conditions.
Hello Sky Pilot, so glad we could make you feel at home next to the fireside hearth!
I know you just posted this.
But as always you guys rock
Thank you Casey my loyal supporter!
Great snowy adventure! Love 395 and 168/359 (like 168) is such a beautiful drive in the best weather, who knew it could look even more so covered in snow. I've not experienced that, yet. Thankfully, you two weren't left stranded. Those portable power charges are great, though. I'd recommend. I've not had to it for myself but have saved a few other stranded motorists and a biker with it.
That sounds like a prudent and excellent idea Joey, I should get a charger, if even to help someone else. Made it home fine. Happy to share the winter road view with you!
Sheesh Doug. See “Snowbound” the Stolpa story. Bob from Big Sky. 😅
Hi Bob! Oh yeah, I miss that snow in Montana for sure! Especially all the remote places you can go! Yep, there have been people frozen in caves in Nevada etc...at least the part of Nevada where I lived. 🐐
What fun!! You two better stay safe, though. I don't want anything to happen to my favorite eastern Sierra explorers! Great find on the Bighorn sheep 😊 I really like the heart button on your scarf! It's beautiful, but it would scare me to drive in that 😮 Great to see Kelly's son!
Hi National Parks Princess! We try to make it back home for everyone, and it was a good adventure. I am going to see if I can get at least half as many animals in my videos as you do!
Glad you made it out o.k! No fun having car problems in those conditions!
Nice to see the big horn,hope they stay off the highway!
It's amazing how the storms diminish so fast by the time they reach the Monte cristos
Hi Tim, so true on all accounts! 8 miles from town there was no snow whatsoever.
Wow wee
Glad you came along with us John, we would have been nervous without you.
This was so pretty. I love the snow. Especially when I am sitting inside and warm.
Hi Charlotte! That sounds so comfy.
That cr-v did great on the snow! Get a battery jump box to keep in the vehicle..
Will do!
So much drama! You all had me worried, I’m glad you made it home safe.
Denise we have to have a little measured drama in life; just not too much...kind of like spice....so glad you came along with us!
Oooo wee!! That was scary and exciting! Glad the car started! My son bought me a Viking Compact Power Pack (battery charger) which is taken on trips. I had a 2016 Honda Accord. The battery was dead when we got home from our trip to Yellowstone. Luckily, it was in my driveway.
Hwy 395 sure looked a lot different in October when we drove down it. 😊
Glad you’re both back home safe.
Thanks for sharing your trip to the snow with us! 🌸
Hi Dana! What a thoughtful gift your son gave you...and so timely too. Look forward to hearing about your next road trip!
WOW, that was quite the roadtrip! It must have been so beautiful, but also a bit nerve-wracking. I'm so happy you both got to get some winter sports in, on your outing. Traveling in those remote areas, while the snow is falling, is pretty adventurous, in my book. I was a wee bit anxious for you both, but you each took it in stride. I'm sorry Kellie's car was acting up, at the least opportune time. Her son seemed like a really, pleasant guy.🤗 Here's hoping all three of you got back to town, without any more troublesome, car issues... I'm so happy to know you had a delightful lunch, and delicious cookies. Thank you for taking us along, on your scenic, Winter roadtrip, Doug. Stay safe. 🌨🙏🏻❄️ ⛷️ 🏂🍪🏡👏🏻👏🏻
Hello Rhonda! It kept us alert because we were both looking simultaneously to see where the road was and where it was not. Team work I tell you. I wanted to get closer to the Bighorns for you, but they were having absolutely none of it. We really wanted to get some exercise, and the chill kept us moving at a steady brisk pace. Hawthorne is very pleasant in the winter, but the mountains can be cool, fickle, and vindictive. As always, glad you came along with us Rhonda! 🍪❄️🐐
@@CalNeva so very well expressed, Doug... We had it easy, watching from our comfy, cozy homes. Stay well, and stay safe. NONE of us want you to take any risks. We value you, and Kellie so much.🤗🤗🌨❄️🏡🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You two are very adventurous! Kelly’s son is a real nice man; not surprising though.❤ Glad you all made it out. 🎼Love your music; that’s you, right Doug?
Thank you Betty you are so kind. The music is NOT mine, but a stock track that fits the mood and that you all like. I am supposed to record a theme song up in Reno with my friend John, probably come spring.
@@CalNeva🥳 Ohh, your new soundtrack song will be something neat for us to look forward to. Thank you Doug Berry! Keep ‘em coming.
What a great drive in the snow.lots of rain here and more today.everything here is fine.im a video behind but will catch up soon.so glad you have Kellie as your driver and guide to great on the road lunches and cookies.you kids having too much fun
That's us kids, always finding new toys and getting into new adventures!
Nice and Adventurous. Used to like going out and helping others get unstuck back in the Day in Michigan. Nowadays playing it safer. Happy Trailz.
Thanks Steven...nice that you were helping people back then.
What an adventure!! Enjoyed seeing the Bighorns. Glad you both got home safely. Many kudos to Kellie on her driving skills.
Thank you Jennifer, glad we all made it back, thanks to Kellie's driving skill!
Ok, I’m not an expert, but don’t those snow shoes go the other way?
Hi Michelle, you have one sharp eye! Actually, if they were for instance, Huron, Bear Paw, Green Mountain or Alaska shoes that would be correct. However, in this case they are Ojibwe Tribe style from the Northern Midwest ...a style in which BOTH ends are pointed with tails. This is my first pair with this style, and I like them very well: they are fast, have good floatation, and track straight.
Got just one thought Hot Chocolate, nice hot fire and staying home. Let it snow, let it snow! stay safe ALL
I like that advice Dave!
Stop with ur atmospheric river nonsense !!!
How stressful! Hope you made it home okay!
Yes we did, thank you!
What a great drive in the snow.lots of rain here and more today.everything here is fine.im a video behind but will catch up soon.so glad you have Kellie as your driver and guide to great on the road lunches and cookies.you kids having too much fun
We get some heavy snow at times up here in Azalea. $ mountain passes to go up and over and without all wheel drive I often couldn't make it up my driveway. I get very apprehensive driving in snow like you guys were in. I am very impressed with Kellies snow driving skills and being calm about it. Bravo Kellie! Your hiking stamina is well beyond mine as well! That kind of weather and conditions are stay at home with the wood stove weather for me. I sure enjoy watching you two do it though! Hats off to Kellies son for dropping everything to come help his mom! I would do the same! My mom is 86 and goes out in the snow in her jeep in stuff like that!
