Hey Mike ! I just wanted to let you know something really great about you and your channel. Your voice and mannerisms are VERY soothing and relaxing. And the truth is that I have thrown out ALL of my "get to sleep" vids I used to listen to on KZfaq, and as I'm retiring for the night, I load your channel just to listen to you and watch the scenery. Pretty soon my eyelids are drooping and I'm watching with one eye open, your voice and sounds of the road lulling me to sleep. So I almost never see your longer videos entirely through. And I just load them up again, kinda where I left off next time I need a nap, or head to bed for the night. This is just very healthful in my view, and I so look forward to each new video you put up. I especially like your knowledge and commentary on the towns and cities you roll through, and particularly the back streets, industrial areas, and nearby residential areas if you're in a city. I actually think you could monetize by adding increasing amounts "tour guide" like stuff in the mix. You know, having the best knowledge you're able to acquire about the next little town you're passing through and so on, because you have an awesomely soothing voice and it's super welcome to hearing your commentary each and every day. And the great scenery is a bonus. I wouldnt spend a great deal of time editing Mike. Film relentlessly, comment as much as you can, and post it. And stop and see me next time you're in Wichita. PLEASE ! Grin.

Remember the days when there was no limit of speed through desert areas of Nevada. Drove to Vegas years back and drove 100-110 mph in a car.

Good morning mike and everyone

Thank you for your videos. I appreciate the exposure I feel like I’ve been somewhere.

Thanks for taking us along with you Mountain Mike. It's always enjoyable.

Good morning to you, what a beautiful road

I only drove Rt 50 one time in a cab over Mack back in 1985. Every trip you make and record jars my memory and I'm glad I did the ride.

Fantastically great journey! Thanks! Safe travels!

Good morning Mike. Great ride...cheers from Australia

Great Video and your conversation Mountain Man Mike

Thank you so much I really enjoy your videos

Stunning scenery.... and you get to see it everyday...what a job perk

Thanks for the ride ✌

Hi mike thanks for the great powerfull and dramatic fantastic pictures from nevada . you have the absolutely freedom here. karin and manfred west germany München

When I pulled tankers back in the '90s we called it Georgia Overdrive. Anyway, I love the channel.

Thanks Mike Good Moring Appreciate The Ride

Good Morning 🌞 pretty drive be safe .

In summer of 1989 my entire family went to eastern Colorado to celebrate my grandparents' 60th anniversary. We sort of caravaned, with my brother's family in one car, my husband and I in our car with our 6-month-old son, and my parents and sister in theirs pulling the travel trailer. Because we don't like actual caravans, we all ate breakfast and dinner together, and spent the nights in the same place, but did not drive together. On the trip back to L.A., my brother and I split off and headed to Sacramento to visit more family. We took U.S. 50 westbound. We actually stopped at Great Basin National Park shortly after it became a National Park. We were amazed that although it was July 4th, we had a choice of campsites among the trees next to the creek. This would never happen in southern California! I suppose you could fish there, too. For breakfast, we packed and headed into Ely. My husband and I will always remember The Diaper Change at Ely. 'Nuf said about that. I regret that we switched from U.S. 50 to I-80 near Fallon. Otherwise, I could say that we've driven the entire stretch of U.S. 50 from Manzanola, Colorado to Sacramento.

Thanks mmm that was a quiet cool ride along peace!!!

Good evening Mike , looks like beautiful summer day ... ☘

Amazing lack of other vehicles, love it

Love to watch... Love from India🇮🇳 ride safe brother

More on vs more off...🤔...I never thought of that...😂😂😂, What a nice day to drive!

Mike, really enjoying Riding Shotgun with you. Live at the BORING OVER - POPULATED East Coast. Have been Cruising and Wilderness Camping the Four Corner States for the past 9 years, 3 months each year. (Retired for 10 years) Recognized many of the scenery from your cab, Home-sick for the Wilderness and Solitude. Saddened to skip my trip in 2020 because of the PLANDEMIC. Highway 50 in Nevada is ABSOLUTLY Fascinating! My kind of Scenery! Traveled it in 2019, I am planning to do it again. Thanks for the RIDE!

Good morning Yes,, it is beautiful. Being Sunday, went to church and Prada for all of us and our country. We have a good God. Stay safe.

Thanks for another wonderful ride and Merry Xmas to you and yours'.

Sorry Mike I'm a little late. Who's ever in the shotgun seat will have to vacate so I can climb up and get this ride started. :)

More whine anyone?

Merry Christmas mountain man mike thanks for all your videos we are retired military fam who use to travel and watching your videos takes us places we love to see I’ve always wanted to but never got the chance to drive because I am a house dad taking care of our kids so your videos helps out keep on trucking brother and play some Aaron Lewis

keep your comments to something you understand.....and it is not politics...

Always balmy with mountain man mike!

First time to comment here. Living here in South Central Florida, I really enjoy your videos because of the obvious change of scenery. My wife and I have traveled west these last two summers/fall with our F450 and 5th wheel toyhauler. I take notes of where you travel and the roads you roam. My favorite so far that we have driven is the Million Dollar Highway. Be safe.

Good Morning Mountain Man Mike....Amen Brother... Made in America is my motto...It was different riding shotgun with a suicidal bug the whole way but I'm digging it... Thanks for the ride and enjoyed the content as always... Peace

Hola! Mtn Man Mike! They're gonna put you in the movies! Really nice videos! Thks

lindo vídeo

Good morning....Amigo☕️

Howdy never been on fifty always traveled eighty across Nevada always enjoy your travels while we are in Ca Covid BP Hell take care be safe

Mike, If you don't exercise your right to vote; You give up your right to complain. You can say, that isn't what you said you would do, or I knew that idea wouldn't work and I said so with my vote.

Great basin national park ELY Nevada. Used to go to the dirt track at Ely in November for a dirt late model race.

Peace bro!

GOOD MORNING YOUNG MAN

Nice video

Hey Mike at 44:14 going through the cut in the rock wall just a bit west of it I have had to stop at night to let a big herd of Elk cross the road in front of me. That was 20 years ago when I used to deliver loads of corn to the Baker Ranch at the Nevada / UT state line.

Add to my other one I just posted. I live in ind south. I sm 77 retired so watching u mskes me fill I hsve fredom... I love your voice. Peaceful. Whst a great idea you have of your videos. Thsnks kerp it going. Keep on traveling I will go with u.

Hi Mike: nice video, thanks for posting. Road had a little more traffic than usual? For a two lane road it’s seems to be in good shape unlike a lot of secondary roads in this part of the country. Rout 66 although popular is in, for the most part, terrible condition. I guess because it parallels rout IH40 it doesn’t get much care. Have a safe trip back to Denver, we’ll catch you on the next trip. Edward

Good morning good morning

Use the newer fuses, The ones with indicator light,Helps diagnose a glance, yet to experience them enough to indicate dependability/quality

Do you mean to suggest that 418 will be retired and we will be flying Shotgun in the future. Can t imagine that will include me but I m sure MMM could learn it. Was nice to pass through those mountains as brief as it was. God bless MMM

Dude whats up ✌🇺🇸

Nice views, good road, BUT TOO desolate... HEY,,,,a HILL @ 42.03!!!! AND a 1-lane road, with a "flagger", now we're really living...LOL!!!!!! WHAT Happened to the "flagger", had my hopes up for other "humans" out here!!!

Mercy you and me think the same

The R's are in power, making the decisions , supposedly. At least the "Emperor" is in power. Why are you banging the D's?

Mike you fly like the wind anyway Who sings that fly like in the wind Eagles? Anyway have a safe trip and thanks for sharing always enjoy riding with you

Hey Mike, its Friday nite and time for my evenings drive. I have my backseaters, no, wait , shotgun license and lots of time to use. Still lookin for the chickn, See ya!!!

Anything beyond that windshield IS your business

Parece el teide en Tenerife

Hey Mike your not hauling the Chinese vaccination for Kaiser now are you? I believe you said ya didn’t even look at the boxes in your trick. Enjoy your videos and you certainly make my day. Safe trucking...........

Route US-6 goes all the way to Provincetown, MA on Cape Cod. Route US-50 goes all the way to Ocean City, MD on the Atlantic Ocean.

Ultralights are very fun, but from what I've learned of your tenacity a pilots license is within your grasp. Two hours a week and not a huge amount of money, you'll have a private pilot in a couple years. You can buy a certified airworthy cessna 150 or grumman american t for really reasonable prices. Why spend that on an ultralight when you can have an airplane

I agree with you!

Get an ultralight !! 🛩 👍

I like following your travels. You are a great driver. One small suggestion: Disable the FOX channel. Foolish news.

Mike which is better for vacation travel, 50 or 80 thru Nevada?

I don't what is clearer Mike, your view out the windshield or your view on politics!!!! Does my vote count?

Driving & O-O days: 1971-1990: I used to park next to the dynamite/high explosive trucks that were allowed at certain truck stops. Usually didn't have unwanted company (lizards or the unfumigated cattle pots that always arrived late when everyone was bedded down or those g--damn reefer units that ran all night long right next to your bunk flap) or any other rig parking within 100 yards, lol. It was great. Total privacy. Too bad you can no longer finesse the log books nowadays with Big Brother's tracking gadgets. Used to a person could fudge the extra time just a little adjusting the logs plus many authority figures back then were a shade more pragmatic re what it takes to run a business versus being total A-Ws. Miss the life to some degree but do not miss the BS that accompanied it. Mexican O same as Georgia O if you get my drift. I always worried my steer wheel would explode or flatten when I was at high velocity: can be fatal when you're in a COE flat face KW. Did get a steer wheel flat tire when driving. Luckily it occurred on an onramp at 20 mph instead of cruising at 60+. Sure beat the crap out of my front bumper before I was able to stop. Love your shows, love your politico commentary too.

Bunk heaters like that will dehydrate You

Hey Mike, can drones be flown at night?

Buh Byee Mike, be Safe - enjoyed riding shotgun wif ya'.

Dear Mr riding shotgun your travelling videos are very best but plz upload your videos with full length without any missing

Riding along....don't see much traffic on hwy 50 there

Oh, how I miss the west side of the USA.

Venture4wd jeep overlander channel with gps for subs might have some places you'd like. W-E low high numbers & the 3x interstates the 'bypasses' around the metropolises Thanx for sharing

FAA part 107 is not hard to pass. Just need to spend some study time. If I can do it , you can.

You are so correct on your CHINA comments....

This is just a “thanks”. You have given me many an hour of relief from feeling trapped by COVID-19 and and a body that cannot drive like I did in the past. I am almost back out on the road. Again thanks

Mikes turning into a real Snow flake .

Good morning ! ☀️😃

just something wrong, when two cars pass each other in opposite directions separated by only around 5 feet in opposite directions, at over 60 mph each.

hola hola que pasola .. xd

Ain’t Newton wonderful

Mexican Overdrive AKA Georgia Overdrive.

Squirrels and chipmunks are just road kill for me. I stop for no squirrels or chipmunks because they’re really too small to see when you’re moving fast

Apparently the made in China boxes bothered you but you still hauled it being it’s producing you revenue I don’t think it matters who is in office these boxes will continue to be sold in our country

The thirteen dislikes are from people who don't like scenery that is breathtaking. 😂

America s coast to coast highway

Do you ever haul any real weight 43- 44000 all you ever say were light? You could run a single axle and never be heavy.

I love riding shotgun with you, Mike. But, really, Biden will not change things very much. Some us regret that, others won't. The big thing to remember is the President doesn't run everything.

Your friends meaning of Mexican transmission is a play on words with the the spelling and pronunciation of the word "Manual" . Manual transmission (vs. automatic) or Manuel as in the Latino name where the letter 'u' is pronounced as a 'w'.

Ballots on that load.

Yes he will, power makes you power hungry. Cumo will never be fired and stripped of his government control and benefits.

What ticked me off is when I had to order face masks and got a package from China. They created this epidemic and then look at it as a business opportunity.

well china joe got in and you were correct. We are headed down the wrong road. Buck Fiden
