Mike, Thanks for the ride. I have been riding with you for the longest time now and want to say thanks. Being in lock down has been a little easier since I watch your videos everyday. Its kinda like getting out of the house to take a trip. Keep up the good work as long as you can. You are probably more isolated than most of us. Take care and stay safe. .
When I was younger in the 60s and 70s I used to hitch hike all over the USA and the truckers I met was great nice guys and helpful. I am 70years old now and stay home
I need a honey do man, about 20 of them lol, I need my yard rolled to get the bumps out, then mowed, I need my driveway grated, I need a tree limb cut, I need new gravel for my driveway hauled in, I need my garage scraped and painted, I need a giant dumpster so I can get rid of all my clutter, I need a new subfloor put down in my living room, I need a new front door put on, then I need new carpet laid in the living room, I need a new toilet and wall surround for my bathtub, and then I need a team of house cleaner's, and organizers. Yep, I think that should just about do it! Haha 😂
What a good poppa. Take care of your kids if need be. How sweet is that that you check on your sister. I can tell you were raised right. Family first. How do you eat ? You can't use the drive thru? I know they won't let you walk up. God bless you Be safe. We love you Mountain Man Mike!!! Our favorite trucker.♥️🇺🇸🌹
Hello Mike , nice run west on I 40 west . I was in this part by Hover Dam in 1969 ,the big bridge we just crossed was not there .It has change a lot over the years .I am looking forward for you next video .Take Care an be Safe . Peace .👍👍😊😊✌
Hello Mike! Your such a great father! We always are looking out for our children, no matter how old they are. Glad your sister is ok. I feel this whole virus is population elimination. PEACE!
Mike, great capture of the dam crossing the bridge. I have driven on the bridge several times in my auto but you can no longer see the dam in an auto with the high guard rail. I miss driving over the dam but the bridge is definitely faster. Thanks for sharing and for all that you and other truckers do for all of us unselfishly; each and every day!
Thanks Mike. We all know. It's always been about MONEY with politicians. Nobody questions how they become Millionaires after they win fixed elections. Then they sell What Little Soul they have to the highest bidder, and WE THE PEOPLE end up paying for it. STAY SAFE. PEACE.
Hey Mike: we meet again. Happy to be along, nice ride. Went over the bridge in 2017 in my Yukon. The sides are so tall you can’t see the dam, but in your truck we could, nice view. Thank you for the ride, see you. Next trip.edward
Hey that was cool seeing those choppers all parked. Thank Mike I'll watch this again just fun yup some of these places may look different come Sept. Take care
It could be future I-11 between Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge over Colorado River at the Arizona/Nevada state line to I-40 in Kingman Arizona.
I heard via HBG Trucking that the state of Missouri is not locked down due to the Governor stating its not an affected state so restrictions are not in force as in nearly every other state - but this could change depending on how many are affected by this disease. As for economy if every country that is badly affected charged the Chinese, the world could Bankrupt them!! Cheers Mike.
I like how Melton men Mike does his vids they are among the best on UA-cam next week I'm going to sit down and write him a letter and send a little cash to his PO box truckers are real heroes right now and they always have been it's just that people are now waking up with this major realignment that we are going through take care everyone and Mountain Mike keep doing what you do
I remember driving across the dam b4 they built that bypass and bridge. It was a workout lol. You forgot that nellis is the thundrbirds home base. Company i drove for had a contract to haul eggs to all them bases. That wasnt a fun job lol. Stay safe bud
Really neat scenery out that way! I''ve never been out west. I had to pop my ears a couple of times climbing that grade after the dam. LOL. I bet you find the traffic a bit lighter these days? I used to dream about being a trucker years ago just for what I'm seeing in this video! LOL. Like any job, it probably gets old after awhile.
For someone that knows what they are doing old RV's can be a very profitable business as some of them from the right years are powered by some rare engines. If the appliances in them still work you can even sell them to zero out the costs meaning you have a nice free motor from it you can then turn around and sell or use yourself.
In Australia we are not allowed to leave our homes except for essential travel. Food and Medical. No travelling on holidays NONE. Only allowed to visit family not allowed to stay overnight. It goes on. It does seem to be holding the Virus. Everything is made in China it seems. I try and by Australian made. It is more expensive but much better quality. Thank you for riding shotgun. Keep putting the videos out so we can all get out and travel. Stay well. ✌
OMG, a Trump lover. Just turn everything said about Biden around, and apply it to Trump. The man is incompetent. No use to go on. I've enjoyed your vids, but I'm outta here. Peace.
#169 Good morning, Mike. A few years ago, crossing the bridge at Bolder Dam, we had to use the left lane to drive until we cleared the bridge. I noticed that you drove the right lane?
My first husband's grandfather worked on the Hoover Dam. We have been on it a few times. I think 3 men died there, or was it on the Gold Gate??? Hey, my brother and his family live in Las Vegas. If you are planning on getting married again, I can hook you up with music and photography. We are still hold up in our house. My husband makes a trip into town to check our PO Box and stops at the store. I hope you are staying away from people. Be safe.
Interstate 11/the boulder city bypass is a joint project between Nevada and Arizona to make a direct highway link between Phoenix and Las Vegas. Although numbed out of order, it's supposed to one day lie east of I-15 and run from Las Vegas to the Canadian Border. It's a complicated project that had a lot of politics around it and maybe one day it will finally connect the two cities more directly.
When you get to Nampa, give me a wave. Well, maybe not, you have been here and gone by the time we saw this video, you were probably here around the 30th.
HEY SHOTGUN, I LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS BUT IS THERE ANY WAY YOU COULD LEAVE ALL THE POLITICS TALK OUT OF YOUR VIDEOS. DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT EITHER OF THOSE RICH GUYS PARTIES (DEMS AND REPUBS). MOST OF US WHO WATCH JUST WANT TO RIDE ALONG WITH YOU AS YOU ARE DESCRIBING WHAT YOU ARE SEEING. THANK YOU FOR FOR SOME OF THE MOST GREAT RIDES THAT MOST OF US WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE OUR SELVES.# ALL OF MY HOPES TO YOU.
Sir Mike !!! YOU answered your Question On the Boat in the Water AS Vegas is shutdown for Non-essential use !! DO you think a boat in water is essential ?????? For those low trailers ,,DO you have 4- 2 X 4 X 6 inch blocks in the sidebox so that you can block the front of the trailer when you drop the air suspension ??? Think you know what I'M stating !!! Saves alot of cranking on your part to get the trailer where you can hook to it !!! Let the truck do the work !!!! ""KEEP IT SAFE """!!!!!
I think I remember the reason they took trucks off the dam is someone was arrested having a box truck with explosives on the dam with intent of blowing it up.This was after the Oklahoma City bombing and other things going on around the country. We just go out of one thing into another the past few years.
Hey Mike !!! I'm really digging your videos... I've traveled so many of the same roads... MANY TIMES... and it brings back so many memories... I can't afford to drive around now (retired, living on Social Security and helping my "adopted" daughter and her three girls). As a private, non-professional driver, only driving my personal autos, I've driven over 1,200,000 miles in my 65 years. I'm right there with you on the state of our politics, and the foreigners who are doing everything possible to turn our once perfect country into a third world toilet, just like the ones in south america and africa... And the reason it's happening, is because most of our government employees are third world low lifes, who've been handed jobs because of the way they look... At least we're all finding out that there are still some great Americans, who actually care about "Truth, Justice, And The American Way" None of us are Superman... But if we don't desire to be as good as we can, as is the case in every third world nation... Then we ARE third world... It's all about the lazy, corrupt cultures that infest MOST of the world... And the infection of filth and poverty is spreading like wildfire, and would love to destroy EVERYTHING and EVERYONE who believes in America and what it's always stood for... Thanks for your great videos and stories... I wish I could afford to do all that "patreon" stuff, but just can't...
Have you heard if the trucking industry going to shut down? I hope not this would be a poor judgement call. STAY SAFE OUT THERE. THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO'S VERY INTERESTING.
last time I went down to Vegas, I did go by the speedway on that same road you were on towards the end of the video, but I have always wanted to know, beyond the speedway, where does that road actually go to?????
Don't know you but you are wrong. People wouldn't die across the world for that asshole. Native New Yorker..former R - Independent. Think ALL of them past 65 should be retired but we need a leader not an Emperor.
Hi Mike you seem like you're doing ok with the virus going on! Maintain safe distances bro! Hope family is ok! Around 34:00 I wonder if bikers are maintaining 6 foot rule?😀will you deliver food or medical products if need be? I bet you would! You're a humane person! How will government handle homeless situation? BE SAFE!💕🙏🚛🕶
You're a nice guy for caring about your sister and children enough to help them if need be. Not everyone's like that sadly.
Do they pay it back?
I agree

#169 Good morning, Mike. A few years ago, crossing the bridge at Bolder Dam, we had to use the left lane to drive until we cleared the bridge. I noticed that you drove the right lane?
