@@alangross2277 Thank you Alan, really appreciate you. 👋

@@anthonyhitchings1051 Hi Anthony! That exactly describes the road under the best of conditions. I have to drop a fishing line in there sooner than later. 🛻

Hi Rhonda! I put those cattle in there just for you, seeing you were asking about animals! I appreciate that you called it a "magical" excursion. We will have to thank Kellie, because she was persistent in getting to the hot springs when I was ready to turn tail and go home. I was concerned about getting stuck 25 miles in no man's land in the cold. Ha! My favorite places are the remote places without any other people, not that I don't like people, but I like solitude more often than not. We need a lot of space in Nevada (at least those of us out from Las Vegas and Reno, though those places are unique). Sunny weather, but chilly, just barely warm enough to paint the fascia outside. On my lunch break, then back to fall painting. Happy Thanxgiving Rhonda!

Now that this post hs gone on the internet, that path is going to get thoroughly beaten. I wish people would just explore remote places and not need to tell the world they did it.

p.s. There is nothing "odd" about the natural world. Our species is the only thing that is odd.

For instance, people will go to a beautiful remote place and then post all about it on the internet. Can you spell: oxymoron?

@@bellestarr6484 Not necessarilly, many of my viewers are life long outdoors people who can't get out anymore. Also, often many people have neither the patience, endurance, or toughness to reach the remote places (that's what helps to keep them less visited than anything). I have kept hidden many places that I have explored too.

It was a long walk!

Great photography, as usual, Doug!

@@TimT-um6rt Thank you Tim!

Thank you G! Have a great visit with your Italian family, that sounds like a blast! I bet you guys have a big spread for Thanksgiving. Oh I love the remote areas, so much room to breath! Please be careful on the roads, give yourself extra time to be safe. See you on Thursday my friend G!

@@CalNeva Thank you, Doug! We usually do have a pretty big spread but this year we are doing Chinese food because nobody wants to cook 🤣🤗 I hope you and Kellie are able to celebrate a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family in your lovely local community. See you on Thursday!

Ha ha, thank you Dana! It was dark by the time we got back. Glad you enjoyed it!

⁠@@CalNevaI noticed the sun starting to go down (shadows). Ha!! 😆. I’d be scared to death being on those rickety roads after dark ( from recent experience over yonder). Ha! Ha! Keep on having lots of fun!! ❤ Yes, we got a real good rain recently over here on the west side which put some white stuff on the mountain tops. 🥳

It was a good workout; me pitching rocks on the road and then 7 mile hike with a big hill. I was tired! But we needed the exercise. I really like your channel, the quality and congrats on getting over 500! I look forward to viewing your new ones...still busy painting while I can. Happy Thanxgiving you guys!

Hey Casey! I bet you could burn up that road on a dirt bike! Being that you are so experienced. Happy to bring you to new places and give you new adventure ideas. I hope you get plenty of cookies and pie on Thursday...you need it to make a quick recovery!

@@CalNeva I would rather these days take a Honda trail 90.just to enjoy the view.cookies and pie sounds like a good remedy.worth trying anyways

Thank you

Thank you Michael...I used to have a bigger selection of buckaroo scarves! (Wild rags).

Welcome, glad to have you along!

Appreciate you James!

Thank you Clydene!

Being a sailor, that would interest me; good travel adventure tip.

They are at the veterans park near the tank in Lake Isabella. There's a video.@@CalNeva

@@josephbingham1255 cool

Hey Steven! It was worth the hike; all the regulars have gone hunting in other parts of Nevada.

Really low clearance on my friend's car...didn't want it to get tore up.

So true Tim!

Dang John, you are one tough number!

@@CalNeva well 2 degrees above body temp does not cut it with me.🤣

Hi Brother Dick! It was paramount that I had the cookies to revive me; otherwise we would have never made it there, let alone getting back home up that pernicious hill! Thank you, I hope your Thanksgiving is a good one with family and friends! I will plan on putting out a video on Thursday because I will edit it on Wednesday; tomorrow. We will be going up to the Aurora area past Fletcher Station, poking around (but don't tell anyone yet). Still painting outside while I can; the little place looks a lot better than it did. Can't wait to get rid of crazy pink walls in the kitchen (going with white and blue trim). Still got posts to put in for another fence repair. Catch you on Thursday my Brother! 🇺🇸🍪🍰🍩🍗🥧🍺🍴🫗🍽️🍲

@@CalNeva Sounds like fun my Brother, look forward to Thursday's video with my turkey and pumpkin pie 🥧. Mostly pie, haha! Tell Kellie your ol' Brother says hi 👋 and happy Thanksgiving to her too! 🇺🇸 🥧 🍪

@@Brother_D_therail Will do!

Now now, there's plenty of gold for the taking elsewhere without soiling the precious water!

Why in the world would you mess up the water and area with DRAIN CLEANER? 😢
