Last I checked I only got $21 for this video. I would take that every day if possible, it actually more than paid for the gas this leg of the day trip, I think it was roughly 55-60 miles.

@AmericanOutbackAmazing maybe change the ad format on a couple new videos and see if that changes the format

Yes, they are my nemesis! I hope you are doing well :)

Thank you Gregory, I hope you have a great day!

You are welcome, sounds better than the middle of summer and the hordes of flies!!!

Yes, much better than the multitude of insects in the summer. Early spring and early fall are great times to go.

It has been a miserable fall! It looks like we finally dry out Thanksgiving week and have 6 days of partly sunny weather :)

You are welcome, sounds like you have a lot of good memories of the area :)

I have a lifetime of good memories. Thanks again. Its medicine.

Nope, we were good. 2 days later we lost power for about 90 minutes when a tree fell on the lines about 2 blocks away. Luckily the power lines were not damaged and we got power back quickly. The tree must have briefly touched the ground and live wire tripping the breaker somewhere in the system. So far we have never had the power out longer than 3-4 hours for all the years we have lived here.

You are brave, I have only done that when it was sunny!

@ yea i was a little nervous at first but i overcame it pretty quickly but hopefully i will come back here soon at some point

You are welcome :)

Possibly, this video is at least 1 year old or more. I started putting the approximate dates in the description just in the last year. I think this video was part of a day trip if I remember correctly, those part of vacations always have approximate dates.

I agree with you, it is always fun! I want to get back there once the snow gets a little deeper.

With the camper on it is 23-24 mpg if I go 60-65. When I first got the truck it was around 28-29 mpg. The wind resistance and added weight for sure makes a difference. The camper is 375 pounds and then I probably take 200 pounds of gear, water, def, etc when I go on trips.

@AmericanOutbackAmazing that's still pretty dang good

You should get snow soon? This day trip was fun, very refreshing and crisp clean air.

Hi Brian - I have been viewing professional and amateur morelle mushroom seekers...both are a fun-guy with the fungi...get-it? hehe Ever see and pick those...or maybe not? }>>(///////(*> salmon for you there...

I stay away from the mushrooms, no idea which ones are safe to eat!

She misses the sun :) Going to try and get some more video of her.

The only boring part of Idaho is I-84 from Boise to Salt Lake City, I try and avoid that if possible. I wish that the campgrounds in the northern part of the state were open longer, most only have a Memorial Day to Labor Day season.

I am hoping to go somewhere this winter and try camping in the cold, you should see that in the Januaryish time frame. Trying to make up for last year when I was recovering from my accident. I do want to get a fishing pole next spring, never got around to it this summer. Will let you know when I do!

I have more trip videos, trying to get some Washington footage up as we get out again. You must be getting snow in your area?

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing No Snow. The coldest it has gotten has been like 39fahrenheit at night. But rain, yes. Thanks for the Answer. So....more videos soon you say? -Sandy Point- (Ferndale by the sea sorta) dave.💛

Yep, she will chirp at them and crouch down by the window.

Happy holidays! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving next week :)

Cool, I had no idea that many houses were back there, they must be really expensive.

@AmericanOutbackAmazing yeah they all have private access

I snapped my fingers! I had to put some Washington videos up, it has been a while. I was not excited about winter until our trip yesterday, hike should be up in a day or 2.

He travels all across America and he's got driving videos and hiking videos with his wife in national Forest. The hiking videos are great

@@Roscoesadie Is he hiring?

​@@KiaSoulTravelswhat are you talking about

I started this during covid, now I just do it for fun :)

This is just my hobby, I like being able to document the back roads and show people what it is like.

Better or Worse?

Very true, I would never car camp in that town!

Glad you enjoy them! For sure it is not the same in SoCal, videos of the rain and snow on the way.

Kearney has a lot of nice hotels now, hopefully the creepy hotels are gone!

I was surprised at how busy it was, I didn't even get a chance to stop.

@AmericanOutbackAmazing I would be fishing more than driving

True, Outside of the Glacier and Yellowstone National Park areas there is not a lot there that draws people. Did you start your move?

@AmericanOutbackAmazing well not yet. I live in yelm in the country. we have a house in Ocean shores and a rental in Lacey. thinking about selling the rental and buying something toward the mountains. my wife is a nurse and per diem now. so she's 35 hr a week days. so she has more time. I have looked at black diamond, Ellis ville, Snoqualmie etc. hard to find property with views rn

I thought there was more in Bonanza, do you know if I missed anything there?

@AmericanOutbackAmazing No I think you got the whole thing. It's weird that it's just out there all by itself though

Yea, I thought it would be more historic.

@AmericanOutbackAmazing or at least have a Michael Landon statue right 👍

Way cool, that is on my list to do next. Christmas Valley to Plush to Winnemucca and points south!

I miss them to, been so busy we have not been on a hike in 2-3 months. I am hoping to start them back up in December. You are still dry and hot in the Northeast?

@AmericanOutbackAmazing it's cooler now. About 50s. Maybe first snow next week. I'll send you pictures if we do. It rained here and there. So not dry. My husband is outside putting up all the Christmas lights. Takes him hours. Do you decorate?

I used to but the rain was hard on them, I might try again this year. I did put our Christmas tree up this week, that was fun. I always look forward to seeing the lake affect snow there, should be fun!

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing send me pictures of your tree!!!

She meows a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are they hungry?

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing "ALL" round-headed pointy-eared people with whiskers eh! lol

Think you'll be doing anything driving?

I hope to be on a trip this winter, then Alaska next spring! We have house sitters all lined up and Zoe will be home with them :) My plan for the winter is Florida, need to use the new camper and see how I do in the cold while driving there.

it looks very charming here

I was shocked to see houses are really in the 10-20 million dollar range, very few for less than 5 million unless you can get a condo or townhouse, they are still 1 million plus! Before my visit I thought a person could get something average for 2-5 million. Must have been fun to be there back then, was the ski area even that big, I feel like it has grown over the years?

@AmericanOutbackAmazing yeah man the wealth is on a completely different frequency than the rest of society. This area caters to wealth. Walk outside your door and walk 30 ft to a resident only gondola that'll take you to the top of the mountain. If that's not leisure I don't know what is

I just did some research, the area has 9 private lifts just servicing various housing communities! The are purple on the maps and only residents may use them.

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing oh you're a researcher just like me. I spent about an hour on Google Maps last night looking around this area they have built all over this area

That is a very fun place to visit, I am glad we had a nice road for me to walk my bike back on, it could have been much worse if we were 10-15 miles away in the woods! I think Zoe liked that campground, there were lots of birds and the campsites were not to close together.

@AmericanOutbackAmazing I noticed while you biked, you were clicking something on bike alot. What is that ? And sorry I misspelled your Zoe's name. I spell mine with a Y.

That is ok, I think your way of spelling it is more common? That noise must have been me shifting gears, we have had tune ups since then so the bikes are a lot quieter! I don't think we took the bikes out once this year, hiked a lot then got busy with things.

Ahh, you found it, doesn't it look awesome?

@AmericanOutbackAmazing Absolutely!

Yep, it was very busy, not a bad camping spot for free. You should organize a trip there, I would for sure try and join you and whoever else shows up!

Nope, no cell service. I have my Garmin for emergencies. I want to get a new cell phone next year, supposedly they will have the hardware built in that allows the cell phone to make Satellite phone calls if a person has a plan with a Sat company. I have read that they will have monthly plans or pay as you need? That would be awesome!

I think all mountain towns now are only for the top 1%, 30-40 years ago it wasn't that bad.

@ you can still get a nice Cabin in Big Bear, CA for 400k.

​@@AmericanOutbackAmazing Yep! And they say money can't buy happiness- sheesh!

Money and freedom buy happiness! Along with good people :)

That is amazing, Big Bear was always a fun place to visit.

but i watch that TH-camr sometimes

I would love to be there in the snow!

I have a video of that drive to Burning Man, if I remember right it is around 100 miles of gravel? The road surface was very nice though, in the Vya area I almost got lost and started driving west to California. Such a cool place, I want to go back there someday, that along with the Opal Mines are a lot of fun and so majestic. Ahh, I did not know that was called the Dougherty Slide, I wouldn't take a trailer down that! Bend has all of the cool off road stuff :)

@AmericanOutbackAmazing Oh I will dig for that one!!

Have you been there? It feels magical for some reason, just so peaceful and the dream of finding opals!

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing Vya? I have not.

Every time I take this route I wish I was fly fishing!

Cool, I want to do that road next year, crossing my fingers for no fires! I think this was the first video I really messed up the sequence. The GoPro films in just under 9 minute segments. It was either segment 2 or 3 that was somehow swapped with the 2nd to last segment. I would not wish a cow patty upon anyone!!!!!!!!!!!

Couldn't agree more! I also love going to the Peninsula :)

Hope you are enjoying the new trip!

You are welcome :) I want to get to Glacier National Park someday, such a short season and timed entry required.
