I’m in Wyoming hitting the Morrison jeep trail then the rubicon. Then I’ll be back I’ll hit you then do a walkaround of your 80 and a trail if you can swing YOU are why I started using better photo gear
@Truck Stop I've done Imogene as well, and there were parts that I wouldn't take my f250 crew cab long bed which was 22ft. long. Turns would be too tight. Also some areas at the beginning of the pass recently washed out so I'd be leery of the stability off camber with that high of a COG. We did it in my 16 Rubicon on 35's and it was nerve racking in spots.
@@jailbreakoverlander This is one hell of a ride! I wished I was in your back seat taking pictures/vid clips! I love the scenery! I love the adventure! I love the nerve wrecking 4x4 ride especially the one with no road barriers. Oh My G! Thank you for sharing!
@@jailbreakoverlander love your videos. My boss is from Idaho. We live in Indiana. I want to do this and Black Bear in my SXS. I was in WV a month ago, broke my quad and said "Hell with it" and bought a 2021 RZR XP1000, fully loaded. My boss wants to plan a trip to Idaho to ride and I want to do CO on the way. Can I do this and Black Bear on my SXS?
I'm an old man with memories of five million miles on the roads around the USA. As I was watching, somewhere around the drone footage, I realized I had been mesmerized. This video is literally spellbinding.
I went over Imogene Pass in late July of 1968 in Dodge Power Wagon!! As this author kept saying how rugged it was, isn't the half of it!! It took us three-days. It was the most terrifying thing I have ever done in my life!! I broke out in a "Cold Sweat" just watching this video. I wasn't driving. I went with a mining engineer from El Paso.
I miss this so much. We drove over it in a Dodge Power Wagon in 1978. Did a lot of Four wheeling with a club and by ourselves. The only way to truly see and experience Colorado. This is a great reminder of how fortunate I am to live here.❤🇺🇸❤👍
As a Colorado boy, I will go ahead and say that Imogene is one of our hidden gems. The road does get pretty narrow, but I don't think it's nearly as sketchy as the decent into Telluride on Black Bear. I was actually Up in Ouray/Silverton area a few weeks ago and neither pass was open all the way through, But i did find a campsite abover Silverton right at timberline with one of the best views I've ever seen from a tent.
Been on the Trail from lake city over to Silverton in a 81 GMC K 2500 DIESEL WITH LOCKING HUBS AND A CAMPER SHELL . Two or 3 yrs earlier we tried Imogene from Ouray to Telluride got stopped by super deep snow I believe this was late may early June .
Absolutely wonderful Richie! Thank you for sharing this fantastic part of your life with the world. We all need this at this time in our life to take our minds on vacation. Still love ❤️ you Richie. I pray you stay safe! We ALL need you! Many blessings dear brother!
Wow Richie! Thanks so much for this...I will never get the chance to see this first hand but you've given me the next best thing. You have MAD SKILLS!!! Much love in Christ, brother
Amazing- native Colorado here - really miss going off road when i was little with my family - the waterfalls were my favorite- you caught some of the most beauty we have to offer thank you Richie-
Way AWESOME Richie!!! Brought back such wonderfilled memories of my year living in the Colorado Rockies in 1973! How you worked that drone is beyond belief, what a great job and glorious footage of God’s work. Thank you Brother. 🙏🙏🙏
Richie you have to be a Man among men I'm jealous of the things that you do. Brother I want to do all the things you do but just don't have the funds to do then , I've always since I was a child wanted to live in Montana's mountains. But in my younger years I got mixed up with the wrong crowd and drugs and jails and watched my dreams pass away before I even noticed until it was to late. I wanted to be like Grisly Adams lol. I admire you brother and all you do to help your fellow man. God bless you and keep you safe.
You can start small and build up it. I know things are difficult now but if you can get a tent and a sleeping bag and camp somewhere outside for a night you've made a good start!
Gregory Rizer , wow, we have a lot of the same story, I’ve been sober 8 years now and earlier I had this same thing you typed go through my mind while watching this vid, I believe some day we will get to have these experiences we missed out on when we go to heaven..... God is so good and he knows the desires of our hearts.....
I did it in a stock 95 Montero with road tires and running boards, no mods. I bought the truck for $600 in Denver and drove it out there. You can do it dude.
Gregory Rizer - you can do it. You CAN do it. You have to get some cash flow, live as cheaply as humanly possible and spend your money on equipment. Boots, a good backpack, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, cooking equipment - go to an REI store and tell them what you plan to do and they will help you a lot. You need a vehicle, and that will cost the most, but a GOOD used Toyota 4Runner is the king of the road. A 4WD 4Runner is, too, but 4WD is rarely used. I have had three 4WD vehicles (2SUV and one F150) and 4WD is rarely used. Good TIRES, good transmission, engine and cooling system - very important. You can relocate to the area you want to live in after you get your equipment together. Then, you can get some kind of job that provides cheap rent money, and do your exploring when you are off. Personally, I would rather backpack and explore than work, but we still have to have cash so some kind of work that brings in money is "necessary equipment". I encourage you to do this. It will give you a new life and remake you. You can talk to God on the trial like you have never talked to Him before. Get your equipment together and go find Him out there. He wants to have a good conversation with you :)
I’ve done this pass with a friend and horses. Spent ten days on the trail. You did a wonderful job video taping this but do it by horse with some climbing gear, there are some places that you find old trails, homesteads that have not been touched for a hundred years. Places where you can stay for days and be utterly alone except for wildlife. Again, I want to say great job, even in a truck you must be white knuckling that steering wheel on some of the trail. Thanks.
I'm fortunate to have a daughter and a son in law who will take me further than I took them! And we gave the little girl TONS of God's creation along her life. And she knows it and values it and expands on it, ALL THE BETTER. God is good.
I did it in 1989 while attending Fort Lewis College in Durango Colorado. We slept on the peak for a night. It got so cold. This was in May. It is so beautiful up there. The air was so fresh. At night you could hear the wolves nearby. No signs of bears. Probably one of the most beautiful places on earth other than the top of Half-Dome in Yosemite.
I perked up at your comments ( I live in Canada so its a drive to get down there ) as I went on a driving/camping trip in 2007 in July to explore some of the four wheel drive trails I thought I could dare do in my extended cab half ton chevy which is certainly not the hot setup for trails and got a lot of looks and comments of amazement .. way too big, horrible turning radius etc but just added to the challenge and yes I did do Imogene. But also on that trip I went down to northern Arizona and over to Death Valley and was that ever hot, then up to the east side of Yosemite and into the park and hiked to the top of Half Dome and that was a challenge for my body to put it mildly. What a spectacular place in Yosemite though but oh so crazy busy.
@@charlesb4267 Thanks for mentioning your vehicle Charles. I have an F350 CCSB overlander and was just wondering if it could be done. Now I have a goal to work up to. I'm comfortably doing SoCal fire roads to practice.
I drove the Ouray to Telluride trip in 2017, in a brand new rental Rubicon with 31 in tires. Spent the night in Telluride .Took the gondola trip that evening. Then back to Ouray the next day. Weather Was spectacular .Trail was technical, and challenging. Slow wins the race on this trip . Zero damage and four good tires when returned. 👍🏻 Impressive vehicle for off roading!! --- Talked to a guy jogging the trail. Once a year he runs over the pass, spends the night, and runs back the next day !!! You are at serious altitude people!!! Super nice guy , but had to be a Cyborg . He RAN past me in the Jeep approaching the top of the pass !!! --
This vid is gold, to many Overland-tubers have obnoxious music, fancy video editing and no narration . Your style is exactly what I enjoy, focused on making the viewer feel like we are there. Peaceful, informative and not over produced. Keep doing what your doing! ❤
I loved your video, especially with the drone. My daughter and her husband just did this pass from Ouray to Telluride this month. THRILLING! Thanks for the trip. I certainly enjoyed it. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You actually brought tears to my eyes with the beautiful scenery. Too bad our world iui s so fuckd up. Richie you must need breaks like this with all the non sense you deal with on your other channel. Thanks again, ABSOLUTELY AWE INSPIRING.
Ouray, my home for 15 years many years ago. My neighbor and I would telemark ski Imogene every spring starting on Red Mt Pass, up and across the ridge then down Imogene. It was always a blast. One year we looked down at our skis and discovered we were standing on top of a Jeep Wrangler. Later we got the scoop on it. The owner wanted to make one last trek over to Telluride that fall but, unfortunately, that was the day and the hour the winter snows rolled in. He got to walk out in an early season blizzard. He recovered his Jeep later in the spring. That same year and in the same area the bulldozer that clears the road in the spring slid sideways down the mountain but, fortunately, the driver was able to jump off before it rolled. Amazingly, he and the dozer were fine. Imogene is fun to jeep and mountain bike. Have you done Black Bear? Very Dangerous and one way only. I never had the nerve to jeep it so I did it on a mountain bike. That was a real challenge. Someone had to change a tire on their Jeep near the top and lost control of the spare which rolled and bounced, 50 feet in the air at times, into the town of Telluride. It T-Boned, of all vehicles, a brand new, top-of-the-line Range Rover which exploded into tiny shards. No one was injured thankfully. Lots of adventures to be had in the San Juan and Cimmeron Mountains. Check out Owl Creek Pass in the Cimmeron's outside of Ridgway next time you're out here. Very scenic. Take time to hike Wetterhorn Pass. That and Highland Mary Lakes out of Silverton are the two most popular hikes in the area. Both would make spectacular drone footage! Neither is considered to be difficult hiking. Great video. Now I want a drone. Thanks!
Wow, losing the spare near the top and it made all the way to telluride, it must of been near the speed of sound by then. That range rover never stood a chance.
Great video. Brought back lots of memories. Moved to Durango in 1972 and spent 30 years there. Did Imogene a number of times, as well as most of the roads between Durango, Telluride and Silverton, but as mentioned by a previous post, Black Bear is the one that brings you to your knees. And you’re right, the rental jeeps that go up have no idea what they’re in for in many cases. Nice job filming it.
Excellent coverage of a very good pass to travel. Lots of scenery and history with good tips on how to travel roads like this! You know that you are watching one of the very best videos when all of the comments are affirmative and positive.
Fantastic video. I have always followed your RFB and RFBII and wondered, - "where is he going? " because so many of your videos were taken from the car. I came across this vid and enjoyed every minute of it. Such a great job of editing, music, footage, and talking. Such a calm Richie. LOL. Nice work.
Good morning 🌞 Only a TRUE MINDLESS TROLL would hit 👎😂🤣 This is ABSOLUTELY beautiful RICHIE...... I'm very appreciative of YOUR TRAVELS...cause I can't do it!!! God bless you 🙏🙏💕 LOVE YOU TO ETERNITY ❣️ NO TURNING BACK 😊💕☝️🙏💕 7/26/20 Seeing this again and loving it all the more!! 5/22/2021 Texas Nana 🤠 PSALM 91
The addition of the drone footage adds a perspective that you cannot get otherwise and affords views that are not possible from just the seat of your rig. Damn good footage, Thanks Amigo!
The word majestic just doesn't cover the amazing scenery you are showing us Richie. I wish I could go to these places you are showing us, but I can't. Thank you so much.
Richie, i'm 53 years old and.you are living my dream brother, If I wasnt.living.paycheck to paycheck, Id be right there with you I have managed to save up several grand to put towards a nice 4x4 However still far from my goal. I want to buy / build something I can live in if need be. I laughed at the Mars Rover commment yoy.made. also very nice to see actual clouds in the sky and not those heinous chem trails ,"THANK YOU" for sharing this video & keeping my dream alive. RJ Plymouth Ma.
I did this amazing ride on a dirt bike with a partner a couple of years ago. One of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. It remains me of Patagonia/ Chile, my native country. I love Telluride, although expensive, it has a lot of fun to offer. I love your rig!
Richie...the journey and scenery was incredible...something I will never have the privilege of doing... Thank you for taking us along. I really enjoy your vids ❣
Many years ago the million $$ highway was only dirt , narrow with sheer drop offs. Thanks for the tour. I grew up in colorado and my Dad placer mined in a lot of places. I love the colorado mountains and spent a lot of time in them. My favorite place is Escalante canyon , and my Dad lived in H.A. SMITHS cabin for a while with his parents in the 30s. Im in arizona now and miss the beauty and all the places a fellow can go. Be safe, and thank You.
Bro I wish more Americans were into 4wding this is all we do here in Australia you have a beautiful country please keep doing what ya doing awesome stuff brother God bless!
Not sure what he's talking about. We American's been 4 wheeling hard core since the model T and 2 wheeling the gnarliest $#!+ since the first motorcycle was built!! Nice to know that social media guru's believe it is just now catching on since a camera shows it! We use Imogene and Engineer pass as a short cut. Kinda wish it wasn't shown so we can jeep all the wanna be users out. Pack out what you pack in at least.
I cut the TV cable years ago, and I only get my entertainment from creators like you. This video is one of the most satisfying productions that I have viewed in a long time. You have done a fantastic job capturing the beauty and serenity of the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. This video gave me chills. Kudos brother. I live in Florida and visited this area about thirty years ago, then finally got around to taking my wife out there last summer. We visited Ouray and Telluride via the asphalt highways, but we would have loved to ride along with you on the trail over Imogene Pass.
Wow thank you. I started posting and recording more when Older Subbs would mention how they couldnt get out and about anymore. The more I video'd the more i got into it. so it will get as good as time allows.
@@jailbreakoverlander thanks for shooting this I was in Telluride last summer doing the via ferrata and my curiosity was inn level 10 about what it looked like over this pass !!!
Question for you. On the trails you mention the person coming up always has the right of way. If someone is coming down the one lane road. What are they supposed to do ?Just wondered in case I ever decided to venture on a trail like that.
Richie, what's right about the real America and her people is: there is a supreme love of our country that our Creator/God has for his people in America. We are special, God wants us to live free under His Laws, as specified in the Bible, as his sovereign subjects in His kingdom. His truth shall set us free! and I'm a great fan of your work. Thank you Richie and company, muchas gracias señor.
That first scene when you're going up that road through the mountains is epic, that is beautiful!God's handiwork is sure nice to look at up there☝️and down here.Great history lesson from Richie and footage as he sawr it.lol.God bless you my brethren in Christ.🙏👍
Unbelievable country there in that part of Colorado. I am thrilled that I found your channel because you make some of the best videos that I have ever seen on TH-cam. Beautiful drone work.
I know I've said this before RFB, but again, I love these videos! This is 1 of your best to date! It reminds me of when I traveled the million dollar highway in Colorado and yes, Colorado is absolutely beautiful! Again, thank you for these videos, it makes my days!
Nice video. I enjoyed watching. Good music selection. Book of Eli ! One of my favorites. 35 yrs. ago I would ride my dirt bike down Main St. in Telluride and Ouray. Would pitch a tent and build a fire in an empty lot, 2 blocks away. This past Sept. I had to do it in an SUV. A permit was required to park along the curb.
Totally awesome. loved the waterfall shots. Before I got sick 3 years ago i would spend my off time from work camped out of my Isuzu I was all over the Olympic penn and the North cascades. and then Far eastern Wa and Idaho Panhandle. I miss it Cant drive anymore my eyes going wonky and missing half of my right foot missing leaves me at home. keep up the goods content.Thank you.
What a fabulous presentation of IP. I’ve seen several and this by far is my favorite. Excellent videography, loved the drone footage, superb commentary, and just the right blend of great music that doesn’t take away from the story. Count me in as a new subscriber. Simply outstanding.
Really awesome video Richie. Wish we could have meet you up there. Last year we had a Faith Defining experience on Imogene. Faith testing and refining. " NASA rover" lol, love it.
I am PNW bound these days but I lived in Durango for 30 years and I've done that drive and many others nearby many times in my vehicles and motorcycles. It's a must do at least once every year. Thanks for the memories!!
I've got #MyPatriotSupply on the way! Great idea & thanks! I sure hope I never have to intentionally use it, but I will have it soon. I feel better already.
So glad to find you again after you disappeared. Got your new You Tube channel from F.E.B. So glad. What an asounding video. Absolutely stunning. I am so glad I didn't have to drive it, and could still experience it through your eyes and your talent of video cinematography. Thank you Richie❣❣❣ A job fabulously done. 👏👏👏
You Don't Need Your Own Rig To Go....Go Out There & Find Someone With A 4x4 & Ask Them To Take You On A Ride. There Are Still Plenty Of Nice, Friendly People In The USA.

@@jailbreakoverlander I will be using that line of yours, Nasa Rover drive by, lol, when i am hiking with my friends in the shale bowls and Craigs in the Candian Rocky Mountains where i live.
Like so many have said, you have done an ABSOLUTE “daggum that’s good” video. I’ve spent 30 years driving 4x4’s in Colorado and other states and I watch vids now to remember. Saw your heading and thought I’d try it out and see. This is the best video of this type I have seen. I am humbled by the beauty and majesty, deeply satisfied, and wish I was back out there! Thank you for this blessing!
Awesome video! And thanks for the 4k, that part was the best. Amazing ride as well, as someone who doesn't have a vehicle that could make this I truly appreciate the upload! I hope you have more awesome videos like this one
Very well done video. I have seen many like it in this pass but what makes yours stand out is the documentary style. Huge fan of learning about an area as much if not more so than seeing it in video format. Great work!
First thing I learned driving some of these Colorado back country passes & shelf roads is you CAN NOT drive and sightsee at the same time. Great video, fantastic scenery captured exceptionally well!
My sightseeing younger brother is a REAL danger even on the hardtop. He scared his wife and kids to death when they came to visit us in Breckenridge for a wedding!
I'm for some reason emotional watching that, such a beautiful place. I don't want to get all sappy but I've not had a holiday in years, and I feel I've just been on a journey without leaving my home. Must be amazing to camp there, hear nature and look at millions of stars. Definitely photo opportunities everywhere. Last holiday had was Selsey Bill in UK where I found prehistoric shark teeth on the beach. Thanks Richie, loved this video :)
@@jailbreakoverlander Thanks, that means alot. Yes time isn't our friend. If it was to be different I'd take you up on that. I enjoyed viewing it as you do, looking forward to the next one :)
Do what you can to get yourself a vacation. It doesn't have to be Colorado. Go 1-2 hours away from where you live. Go to a new place you've never been within a few hours. Make it simple. For me, with my wisdom....I don't need to run all over the Earth to feel I'm living my life to the fullest.
Time and money are often things I don't have in abundance. But if I had a good flow of both, I'd be on adventures like this! Thanks for making this a trip for me with the click of a button.
@JailBreak Overlander, Hello. I’ve been around off roading my entire life and was born and raised in San Diego, CA. My Dad used to take us out off roading in the East County mountains, in the desert between California and Arizona, in various locations in Arizona and Nevada and countless other places all over the State. Then when I got my drivers license, I bought my first 4x4 truck in 1990, at just 16 years old. It was a 1980 Datsun 4x4 that had lived a rough life and as a result, I was able to buy it for only $500.00. I then cut my teeth on it, learning how to drive off road as well. My Dad taught me a majority of the knowledge and skills needed. Later on in life I would then own Toyota Tacoma’s and they were even better at off roading. We moved to Colorado in 2003, where my wife is from and have been out here ever since. From 2009 through 2019, we unfortunately dealt with a number of pretty severe medical issues and off roading had to take a break. In 2020, things finally turned around a little bit and I began planning to get back into off roading again. I once again began looking at Toyota Tacoma’s due to there reliability, durability and my being very familiar with them. However, I had never off roaded in Colorado before and I also wanted a vehicle that in stock form would be the most capable off roading vehicle. I also wanted something with both front and rear lockers as well. After doing a ton of research, on 11-30-2020 I ordered a 2021 JL Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. It arrived at my local dealership on 02-12-2021 and I took delivery of it on 03-01-2021. I just ordered a Warn Zeon 12-S winch, a crap ton of KC Hilites off road lights and a couple of Hi Lift vehicle jacks, along with several things for camping and/or surviving off the grid should I decide to camp in many locations I go out exploring, or should I break down and have to wait until help arrives. With the Imogene Pass, it looks like a very fun trail to go out exploring on. Since you are familiar with it, as well as Black Bear Pass and countless other Colorado off roading trails, can a stock JLUR do both of those trails without receiving any trail damage? If so, great! With that in mind, are there any trails that you would advice me to not go on with a stock JLUR? Thank you! Jas
I saw a Tesla. I was there about 2 weeks ago. I did ImoPass from Ouray to Telluride. Just at the end of the trail, when I was about to get on paved road in Telluride, I saw a Tesla all dust and charging. Is that the Tesla you are talking about?
This brings back memories. My Mom, Dad, Sister and I took Imogene Pass from Ouray to Telluride in August 1973. We had an old 42 Willis Jeep. Our next door neighbors joined us is a separate Jeep. My Mom and Sister had their eyes closed most of the time. One thing I missed though (it may not still exist with the development of Telluride) was the switchback down the mountain into Telluride. The turns were so sharp that large jeeps had to drive down one switchback and back down the next one since they couldn't make the turns.
You are fortunate to live in proximity of such beauty in nature. It's good to stop and smell the roses as you said. All of this was in the mind of the Creator before any of it was real /actual. It's a praise to Him. Mountains actually speak of the earth being in turmoil. I wonder what beauty lies ahead when He returns. It's going to be good! ...Something that no one should want to miss out on. Faith in Christ will put you there.
I'll never get a chance to do this trip. I use to live for this kind of thing back east. Thanks so much for filming your trip! I loved it BTW..how did you manage the drone following you??
Best video I’ve ever seen from you Ritchie. When I say best video I mean the cinematography aspect is amazing. All your videos are awesome. This is some next level shit. Like a TV show quality. God speed
@@eternalextrapolations you can even like wave your hand in front of one, or like put your palm out, and it will land on your hand. If its small enough... pretty crazy.
Thank you for filming this, it blessed me cause I’ve never seen this part of the country and probably never will. Awesome footage felt like we were there!

Great work Richie! Shoulda hit me up while you were out, I still need to do my tellu trip this year, might go twice
I’m in Wyoming hitting the Morrison jeep trail then the rubicon. Then I’ll be back I’ll hit you then do a walkaround of your 80 and a trail if you can swing YOU are why I started using better photo gear
@Truck Stop I've done Imogene as well, and there were parts that I wouldn't take my f250 crew cab long bed which was 22ft. long. Turns would be too tight. Also some areas at the beginning of the pass recently washed out so I'd be leery of the stability off camber with that high of a COG. We did it in my 16 Rubicon on 35's and it was nerve racking in spots.

Driving the pass, while flying the drone and getting this unparalleled footage, plus the music and editing, absolutely exceptional!

I had a best friend manned Stacy Davis back in high school 🙂 and you hit the nail right on the head with your comment. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@sugamomma8795 that's cool! There's at least forty others who spell it the same way too. Who'd have thought?
Looks great thanks for sharing the experience.
Rich - are you flying the drone while driving?
I'm an old man with memories of five million miles on the roads around the USA. As I was watching, somewhere around the drone footage, I realized I had been mesmerized. This video is literally spellbinding.
Go West, young Old Man........
@@rollinmckim4719 that would put me in the Pacific, since I live four blocks from it.
I'm an old lady with memories of...well, just say many adventures over land and under water. This mesmerized me too. Thank you, Richie.
Used to drive a truck to Telluride and Ouray every day, seeing this sure makes me miss it. Great video RFB.
When you see the prices and hoardes of rich tourists you won't miss it. Cheesy souvenier shops every 10 feet.
I went over Imogene Pass in late July of 1968 in Dodge Power Wagon!! As this author kept saying how rugged it was, isn't the half of it!! It took us three-days. It was the most terrifying thing I have ever done in my life!! I broke out in a "Cold Sweat" just watching this video. I wasn't driving. I went with a mining engineer from El Paso.
It's always scarier when you're a passenger, isn't it?
I miss this so much. We drove over it in a Dodge Power Wagon in 1978. Did a lot of Four wheeling with a club and by ourselves. The only way to truly see and experience Colorado. This is a great reminder of how fortunate I am to live here.❤🇺🇸❤👍
Imagine the videos you could have gotten back then when the trail was much younger....!
I went over in 1990 in a '78 F150 with no starter. Nice trail.
And that power wagon is still running today I bet
As a Colorado boy, I will go ahead and say that Imogene is one of our hidden gems. The road does get pretty narrow, but I don't think it's nearly as sketchy as the decent into Telluride on Black Bear. I was actually Up in Ouray/Silverton area a few weeks ago and neither pass was open all the way through, But i did find a campsite abover Silverton right at timberline with one of the best views I've ever seen from a tent.
Been on the Trail from lake city over to Silverton in a 81 GMC K 2500 DIESEL WITH LOCKING HUBS AND A CAMPER SHELL . Two or 3 yrs earlier we tried Imogene from Ouray to Telluride got stopped by super deep snow I believe this was late may early June .
You’re driving and your photography skills are phenomenal! Thank you for sharing. God bless you. Definitely re-watching. ❤️😇💜😘💕
Absolutely wonderful Richie! Thank you for sharing this fantastic part of your life with the world. We all need this at this time in our life to take our minds on vacation. Still love ❤️ you Richie. I pray you stay safe! We ALL need you! Many blessings dear brother!
Wow Richie! Thanks so much for this...I will never get the chance to see this first hand but you've given me the next best thing. You have MAD SKILLS!!! Much love in Christ, brother
I have wanted to travel more. Thanks for the views. Amazing beauty mother earth provides for the brave. What a life u have.
Oh my-I am 60+ years old and have never seen anything so beautiful. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us!
Amazing- native Colorado here -
really miss going off road when i was little with my family - the waterfalls were my favorite- you caught some of the most beauty we have to offer thank you Richie-
Way AWESOME Richie!!! Brought back such wonderfilled memories of my year living in the Colorado Rockies in 1973! How you worked that drone is beyond belief, what a great job and glorious footage of God’s work.
Thank you Brother.
🙏🙏🙏
Richie you have to be a Man among men I'm jealous of the things that you do. Brother I want to do all the things you do but just don't have the funds to do then , I've always since I was a child wanted to live in Montana's mountains. But in my younger years I got mixed up with the wrong crowd and drugs and jails and watched my dreams pass away before I even noticed until it was to late. I wanted to be like Grisly Adams lol. I admire you brother and all you do to help your fellow man. God bless you and keep you safe.
You can start small and build up it. I know things are difficult now but if you can get a tent and a sleeping bag and camp somewhere outside for a night you've made a good start!
Gregory Rizer , wow, we have a lot of the same story, I’ve been sober 8 years now and earlier I had this same thing you typed go through my mind while watching this vid, I believe some day we will get to have these experiences we missed out on when we go to heaven..... God is so good and he knows the desires of our hearts.....
I did it in a stock 95 Montero with road tires and running boards, no mods. I bought the truck for $600 in Denver and drove it out there. You can do it dude.
Gregory Rizer - you can do it. You CAN do it. You have to get some cash flow, live as cheaply as humanly possible and spend your money on equipment. Boots, a good backpack, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, cooking equipment - go to an REI store and tell them what you plan to do and they will help you a lot. You need a vehicle, and that will cost the most, but a GOOD used Toyota 4Runner is the king of the road. A 4WD 4Runner is, too, but 4WD is rarely used. I have had three 4WD vehicles (2SUV and one F150) and 4WD is rarely used. Good TIRES, good transmission, engine and cooling system - very important. You can relocate to the area you want to live in after you get your equipment together. Then, you can get some kind of job that provides cheap rent money, and do your exploring when you are off. Personally, I would rather backpack and explore than work, but we still have to have cash so some kind of work that brings in money is "necessary equipment". I encourage you to do this. It will give you a new life and remake you. You can talk to God on the trial like you have never talked to Him before. Get your equipment together and go find Him out there. He wants to have a good conversation with you :)
Never too late when we still breathing ~
I’ve done this pass with a friend and horses. Spent ten days on the trail. You did a wonderful job video taping this but do it by horse with some climbing gear, there are some places that you find old trails, homesteads that have not been touched for a hundred years. Places where you can stay for days and be utterly alone except for wildlife. Again, I want to say great job, even in a truck you must be white knuckling that steering wheel on some of the trail. Thanks.
Its got traffic jams in the summer.
Thanks for taking the time to film and produce this amazing video. I appreciate your passion and love for Colorado's beautiful high country!
That was a blessing to see JBO. Thank You for all you do, my brother in Christ.
Awesome footage and narration. The places our ancestors cherished, are the places that are hidden from our children.
I'm fortunate to have a daughter and a son in law who will take me further than I took them! And we gave the little girl TONS of God's creation along her life. And she knows it and values it and expands on it, ALL THE BETTER. God is good.
I did it in 1989 while attending Fort Lewis College in Durango Colorado. We slept on the peak for a night. It got so cold. This was in May. It is so beautiful up there. The air was so fresh. At night you could hear the wolves nearby. No signs of bears. Probably one of the most beautiful places on earth other than the top of Half-Dome in Yosemite.
I perked up at your comments ( I live in Canada so its a drive to get down there ) as I went on a driving/camping trip in 2007 in July to explore some of the four wheel drive trails I thought I could dare do in my extended cab half ton chevy which is certainly not the hot setup for trails and got a lot of looks and comments of amazement .. way too big, horrible turning radius etc but just added to the challenge and yes I did do Imogene. But also on that trip I went down to northern Arizona and over to Death Valley and was that ever hot, then up to the east side of Yosemite and into the park and hiked to the top of Half Dome and that was a challenge for my body to put it mildly. What a spectacular place in Yosemite though but oh so crazy busy.
@@charlesb4267 Thanks for mentioning your vehicle Charles. I have an F350 CCSB overlander and was just wondering if it could be done. Now I have a goal to work up to. I'm comfortably doing SoCal fire roads to practice.
I drove the Ouray to Telluride trip in 2017, in a brand new rental Rubicon with 31 in tires. Spent the night in Telluride .Took the gondola trip that evening. Then back to Ouray the next day. Weather Was spectacular .Trail was technical, and challenging. Slow wins the race on this trip . Zero damage and four good tires when returned. 👍🏻 Impressive vehicle for off roading!! --- Talked to a guy jogging the trail. Once a year he runs over the pass, spends the night, and runs back the next day !!! You are at serious altitude people!!! Super nice guy , but had to be a Cyborg . He RAN past me in the Jeep approaching the top of the pass !!! --
This vid is gold, to many
Overland-tubers have obnoxious music, fancy video editing and no narration . Your style is exactly what I enjoy, focused on making the viewer feel like we are there. Peaceful, informative and not over produced. Keep doing what your doing! ❤
That kicked ass! Yeah, you did put a lot of work in, and it shows. You do it up right, man; that was most excellent viewing. Thank you!
With out question... The best Imogene video we have seen.
share it. and ty
@@jailbreakoverlander shared in FB Groups and on our page. We will share on our Tsar Trail youtube as well.
bravo
This is awesome. Richie, keep on doing it. You’re blessed to have the understanding and knowledge that you do.
I loved your video, especially with the drone. My daughter and her husband just did this pass from Ouray to Telluride this month. THRILLING! Thanks for the trip. I certainly enjoyed it. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for giving my mind an escape from this world like today. Mountains are my happy plaace and where I want to laid to rest.
You actually brought tears to my eyes with the beautiful scenery. Too bad our world iui s so fuckd up. Richie you must need breaks like this with all the non sense you deal with on your other channel. Thanks again, ABSOLUTELY AWE INSPIRING.
You're an exceptional human RFB. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Peace.
Ouray, my home for 15 years many years ago. My neighbor and I would telemark ski Imogene every spring starting on Red Mt Pass, up and across the ridge then down Imogene. It was always a blast. One year we looked down at our skis and discovered we were standing on top of a Jeep Wrangler. Later we got the scoop on it. The owner wanted to make one last trek over to Telluride that fall but, unfortunately, that was the day and the hour the winter snows rolled in. He got to walk out in an early season blizzard. He recovered his Jeep later in the spring. That same year and in the same area the bulldozer that clears the road in the spring slid sideways down the mountain but, fortunately, the driver was able to jump off before it rolled. Amazingly, he and the dozer were fine. Imogene is fun to jeep and mountain bike.
Have you done Black Bear? Very Dangerous and one way only. I never had the nerve to jeep it so I did it on a mountain bike. That was a real challenge. Someone had to change a tire on their Jeep near the top and lost control of the spare which rolled and bounced, 50 feet in the air at times, into the town of Telluride. It T-Boned, of all vehicles, a brand new, top-of-the-line Range Rover which exploded into tiny shards. No one was injured thankfully.
Lots of adventures to be had in the San Juan and Cimmeron Mountains. Check out Owl Creek Pass in the Cimmeron's outside of Ridgway next time you're out here. Very scenic. Take time to hike Wetterhorn Pass. That and Highland Mary Lakes out of Silverton are the two most popular hikes in the area. Both would make spectacular drone footage! Neither is considered to be difficult hiking.
Great video. Now I want a drone. Thanks!
Great story!
Wow, losing the spare near the top and it made all the way to telluride, it must of been near the speed of sound by then. That range rover never stood a chance.
Great video. Brought back lots of memories. Moved to Durango in 1972 and spent 30 years there. Did Imogene a number of times, as well as most of the roads between Durango, Telluride and Silverton, but as mentioned by a previous post, Black Bear is the one that brings you to your knees. And you’re right, the rental jeeps that go up have no idea what they’re in for in many cases. Nice job filming it.
Excellent coverage of a very good pass to travel. Lots of scenery and history with good tips on how to travel roads like this! You know that you are watching one of the very best videos when all of the comments are affirmative and positive.
Outstanding.....narrating,....editing,...adventure
Fantastic video. I have always followed your RFB and RFBII and wondered, - "where is he going? " because so many of your videos were taken from the car. I came across this vid and enjoyed every minute of it. Such a great job of editing, music, footage, and talking. Such a calm Richie. LOL. Nice work.
Good morning 🌞
Only a TRUE MINDLESS TROLL would hit 👎😂🤣 This is ABSOLUTELY beautiful RICHIE...... I'm very appreciative of YOUR TRAVELS...cause I can't do it!!! God bless you 🙏🙏💕

The addition of the drone footage adds a perspective that you cannot get otherwise and affords views that are not possible from just the seat of your rig. Damn good footage, Thanks Amigo!
u bet
The word majestic just doesn't cover the amazing scenery you are showing us Richie. I wish I could go to these places you are showing us, but I can't. Thank you so much.
Amazing footage. RICHIE is talented and smarter then he lets people know 🌻🌻🌻❤❤❤
Not exactly an a$$hole with a laptop. Lol.

Top Feed Coco he has said that about himself many times. She’s just giving it back. All good.
Richie, i'm 53 years old and.you are living my dream brother, If I wasnt.living.paycheck to paycheck, Id be right there with you I have managed to save up several grand to put towards a nice 4x4 However still far from my goal. I want to buy / build something I can live in if need be. I laughed at the Mars Rover commment yoy.made. also very nice to see actual clouds in the sky and not those heinous chem trails ,"THANK YOU" for sharing this video & keeping my dream alive.

I did this amazing ride on a dirt bike with a partner a couple of years ago. One of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. It remains me of Patagonia/ Chile, my native country. I love Telluride, although expensive, it has a lot of fun to offer. I love your rig!

One of the best outdoors doc l ever seen with also the best narratives on history nature etc
nice
Exquisite. My wife and I sat enthralled through the entire video. Excellent, excellent job, my man.
This was awesome & also timely because I'm doing Imogene & engineer passes in about 10days time!
Nice camera angles!
Wow Richie, absolutely spectacular footage, and the music was perfect. Thanks
I LOVED the video, the narration, the views, the vicarious experience!!! ❤🙏
Thanks @Jailbreak Overlander. @RFB
Richie...the journey and scenery was incredible...something I will never have the privilege of doing... Thank you for taking us along. I really enjoy your vids ❣
Many years ago the million $$ highway was only dirt , narrow with sheer drop offs.
Thanks for the tour.
I grew up in colorado and my Dad placer mined in a lot of places.
I love the colorado mountains and spent a lot of time in them.
My favorite place is Escalante canyon , and my Dad lived in H.A. SMITHS cabin for a while with his parents in the 30s.
Im in arizona now and miss the beauty and all the places a fellow can go.
Be safe, and thank You.
The drone footage alone is badass outstanding.!!!
Yeah this was worth bragging about 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you have the freedom to do this...🙏🏻😔🙏🏻
Bro I wish more Americans were into 4wding this is all we do here in Australia you have a beautiful country please keep doing what ya doing awesome stuff brother God bless!
Many Americans are getting into 4wding now.
Not sure what he's talking about. We American's been 4 wheeling hard core since the model T and 2 wheeling the gnarliest $#!+ since the first motorcycle was built!! Nice to know that social media guru's believe it is just now catching on since a camera shows it! We use Imogene and Engineer pass as a short cut. Kinda wish it wasn't shown so we can jeep all the wanna be users out. Pack out what you pack in at least.
@@8r0o8k 💯 truth brother your right. We need more people with cameras out there to show us your awesome country🤙
There are way too many. The trails are full of yabos in the new SUVs causing massive traffic jams in the middle of nowhere.
I cut the TV cable years ago, and I only get my entertainment from creators like you. This video is one of the most satisfying productions that I have viewed in a long time. You have done a fantastic job capturing the beauty and serenity of the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. This video gave me chills. Kudos brother. I live in Florida and visited this area about thirty years ago, then finally got around to taking my wife out there last summer. We visited Ouray and Telluride via the asphalt highways, but we would have loved to ride along with you on the trail over Imogene Pass.
Wow thank you. I started posting and recording more when Older Subbs would mention how they couldnt get out and about anymore. The more I video'd the more i got into it. so it will get as good as time allows.
@@jailbreakoverlander thanks for shooting this I was in Telluride last summer doing the via ferrata and my curiosity was inn level 10 about what it looked like over this pass !!!
Question for you. On the trails you mention the person coming up always has the right of way. If someone is coming down the one lane road. What are they supposed to do ?Just wondered in case I ever decided to venture on a trail like that.
Never mind. You answered my question later. You did a nice job editing and recording. the whole video is pretty awesome.
Mans out here doing National Geographic’s job. Props bro, you have my support 🐐
I just drove this yesterday with my dad. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. Tom Boy was absolutely beautiful.
Richie, what's right about the real America and her people is: there is a supreme love of our country that our Creator/God has for his people in America. We are special, God wants us to live free under His Laws, as specified in the Bible, as his sovereign subjects in His kingdom. His truth shall set us free! and I'm a great fan of your work. Thank you Richie and company, muchas gracias señor.
I snowboarded Telluride once. Found out why they call it ToHellYouRide.
That first scene when you're going up that road through the mountains is epic, that is beautiful!God's handiwork is sure nice to look at up there☝️and down here.Great history lesson from Richie and footage as he sawr it.lol.God bless you my brethren in Christ.🙏👍
Now I truly understand what the old saying “ A little bit of heaven on earth.” really means. Absolutely breathtaking, thank you.
Unbelievable country there in that part of Colorado. I am thrilled that I found your channel because you make some of the best videos that I have ever seen on TH-cam. Beautiful drone work.
Loved every second of your video, especially the pace in which you showed us, Thank You!
Thank you for sharing!!! been there so many times and will go back again, love Ouray!!!!!
I know I've said this before RFB, but again, I love these videos! This is 1 of your best to date! It reminds me of when I traveled the million dollar highway in Colorado and yes, Colorado is absolutely beautiful! Again, thank you for these videos, it makes my days!
Thank you for taking me out of dirty jersey for a half hour....thanks for your time brother excellant work

Im right in jersey with you

Nice video. I enjoyed watching. Good music selection. Book of Eli ! One of my favorites.
35 yrs. ago I would ride my dirt bike down Main St. in Telluride and Ouray. Would pitch a tent and build a fire in an empty lot, 2 blocks away. This past Sept. I had to do it in an SUV. A permit was required to park along the curb.
Totally awesome. loved the waterfall shots. Before I got sick 3 years ago i would spend my off time from work camped out of my Isuzu I was all over the Olympic penn and the North cascades. and then Far eastern Wa and Idaho Panhandle. I miss it Cant drive anymore my eyes going wonky and missing half of my right foot missing leaves me at home. keep up the goods content.Thank you.
Enjoyed ✌🏼
Mountain life is very different and better ❤️
What a fabulous presentation of IP. I’ve seen several and this by far is my favorite. Excellent videography, loved the drone footage, superb commentary, and just the right blend of great music that doesn’t take away from the story. Count me in as a new subscriber. Simply outstanding.
Really awesome video Richie. Wish we could have meet you up there. Last year we had a Faith Defining experience on Imogene. Faith testing and refining. " NASA rover" lol, love it.
This video almost near perfectly explains how i feel about travel and mountains.
I am PNW bound these days but I lived in Durango for 30 years and I've done that drive and many others nearby many times in my vehicles and motorcycles. It's a must do at least once every year. Thanks for the memories!!
I've got #MyPatriotSupply on the way! Great idea & thanks!
I sure hope I never have to intentionally use it, but I will have it soon. I feel better already.
Thank you Richy for sharing absolutely love it, love it,love it
Can't wait...I'm going in a couple days
So glad to find you again after you disappeared. Got your new You Tube channel from F.E.B. So glad.
What an asounding video. Absolutely stunning. I am so glad I didn't have to drive it, and could still experience it through your eyes and your talent of video cinematography.
Thank you Richie❣❣❣
A job fabulously done. 👏👏👏
That pull off spot at 23:10 is a great place for photos. I’ve done this twice in my Land Rover, and it’s one of the best. Great video! 😎👍
My absolute and only dream here in this world. Though very unlikely but I like to think just maybe, maybe one day

I rode Imogene Pass Ouray to Telluride on my Honda XL600r two years ago. One of my favorite rides in the area.
I just did it on my grom. Never again lol
Awesome footage ! You where right- seen like never before. had me gripping my seat all the way up and all the way down. very well done. thanks for sharing.
It's beautiful place, stirs my heart just looking at this video.
I've never seen anyone else do the camera view from the axle. The view of the trail was amazing. Would like to see more of that in your videos.
Love the line you said about, you wouldn't be surprised if one would see a Nasa Rover driving by.
zing
@@jailbreakoverlander I will be using that line of yours, Nasa Rover drive by, lol, when i am hiking with my friends in the shale bowls and Craigs in the Candian Rocky Mountains where i live.
Like so many have said, you have done an ABSOLUTE “daggum that’s good” video. I’ve spent 30 years driving 4x4’s in Colorado and other states and I watch vids now to remember. Saw your heading and thought I’d try it out and see.
This is the best video of this type I have seen. I am humbled by the beauty and majesty, deeply satisfied, and wish I was back out there!
Thank you for this blessing!
glad you liked it.
Awesome video! And thanks for the 4k, that part was the best. Amazing ride as well, as someone who doesn't have a vehicle that could make this I truly appreciate the upload! I hope you have more awesome videos like this one
Very well done video. I have seen many like it in this pass but what makes yours stand out is the documentary style. Huge fan of learning about an area as much if not more so than seeing it in video format. Great work!
First thing I learned driving some of these Colorado back country passes & shelf roads is you CAN NOT drive and sightsee at the same time. Great video, fantastic scenery captured exceptionally well!
My sightseeing younger brother is a REAL danger even on the hardtop.
He scared his wife and kids to death when they came to visit us in Breckenridge for a wedding!
I wouldn't ride with in ANYWHERE scenic.
Don't take tanks like Suburbans. A Samari would be better. Motorcycle better yet.
I'm for some reason emotional watching that, such a beautiful place. I don't want to get all sappy but I've not had a holiday in years, and I feel I've just been on a journey without leaving my home. Must be amazing to camp there, hear nature and look at millions of stars. Definitely photo opportunities everywhere. Last holiday had was Selsey Bill in UK where I found prehistoric shark teeth on the beach. Thanks Richie, loved this video :)
If you were here, Id take you with me. But looks like time isnt on our side anymore.
@@jailbreakoverlander Thanks, that means alot. Yes time isn't our friend. If it was to be different I'd take you up on that. I enjoyed viewing it as you do, looking forward to the next one :)
Do what you can to get yourself a vacation. It doesn't have to be Colorado. Go 1-2 hours away from where you live. Go to a new place you've never been within a few hours. Make it simple. For me, with my wisdom....I don't need to run all over the Earth to feel I'm living my life to the fullest.
Richie, youl never find a mars rover up there, they will be found on Devon island m8 ;)
Never on mars !
Time and money are often things I don't have in abundance. But if I had a good flow of both, I'd be on adventures like this! Thanks for making this a trip for me with the click of a button.
@JailBreak Overlander,
Hello. I’ve been around off roading my entire life and was born and raised in San Diego, CA. My Dad used to take us out off roading in the East County mountains, in the desert between California and Arizona, in various locations in Arizona and Nevada and countless other places all over the State.
Then when I got my drivers license, I bought my first 4x4 truck in 1990, at just 16 years old. It was a 1980 Datsun 4x4 that had lived a rough life and as a result, I was able to buy it for only $500.00. I then cut my teeth on it, learning how to drive off road as well. My Dad taught me a majority of the knowledge and skills needed. Later on in life I would then own Toyota Tacoma’s and they were even better at off roading.
We moved to Colorado in 2003, where my wife is from and have been out here ever since. From 2009 through 2019, we unfortunately dealt with a number of pretty severe medical issues and off roading had to take a break.
In 2020, things finally turned around a little bit and I began planning to get back into off roading again. I once again began looking at Toyota Tacoma’s due to there reliability, durability and my being very familiar with them. However, I had never off roaded in Colorado before and I also wanted a vehicle that in stock form would be the most capable off roading vehicle. I also wanted something with both front and rear lockers as well. After doing a ton of research, on 11-30-2020 I ordered a 2021 JL Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. It arrived at my local dealership on 02-12-2021 and I took delivery of it on 03-01-2021. I just ordered a Warn Zeon 12-S winch, a crap ton of KC Hilites off road lights and a couple of Hi Lift vehicle jacks, along with several things for camping and/or surviving off the grid should I decide to camp in many locations I go out exploring, or should I break down and have to wait until help arrives.
With the Imogene Pass, it looks like a very fun trail to go out exploring on. Since you are familiar with it, as well as Black Bear Pass and countless other Colorado off roading trails, can a stock JLUR do both of those trails without receiving any trail damage? If so, great! With that in mind, are there any trails that you would advice me to not go on with a stock JLUR?
Thank you!
Jas
Thank you Richie. With everything going on around us right now this was like a breath of fresh air. I really enjoyed it.
Hey Richie,did u happen to see a Tesla floating around up there,by chance??..lol..awesome vid bro!!
I saw a Tesla. I was there about 2 weeks ago. I did ImoPass from Ouray to Telluride. Just at the end of the trail, when I was about to get on paved road in Telluride, I saw a Tesla all dust and charging.
Is that the Tesla you are talking about?
This brings back memories. My Mom, Dad, Sister and I took Imogene Pass from Ouray to Telluride in August 1973. We had an old 42 Willis Jeep. Our next door neighbors joined us is a separate Jeep. My Mom and Sister had their eyes closed most of the time. One thing I missed though (it may not still exist with the development of Telluride) was the switchback down the mountain into Telluride. The turns were so sharp that large jeeps had to drive down one switchback and back down the next one since they couldn't make the turns.
Black Bear is still there and still killing people.
That was so tense to watch....let alone drive. Awesome footage. Thank you for another great adventure.
You are fortunate to live in proximity of such beauty in nature. It's good to stop and smell the roses as you said.
All of this was in the mind of the Creator before any of it was real /actual. It's a praise to Him. Mountains actually speak of the earth being in turmoil. I wonder what beauty lies ahead when He returns. It's going to be good! ...Something that no one should want to miss out on. Faith in Christ will put you there.
I'll never get a chance to do this trip. I use to live for this kind of thing back east. Thanks so much for filming your trip! I loved it
BTW..how did you manage the drone following you??
One common way: 'Follow me' mode bridged though your phone. easy.
Fly to Telluride, rent a jeep or ATV or take a tour.
Best video I’ve ever seen from you Ritchie. When I say best video I mean the cinematography aspect is amazing. All your videos are awesome. This is some next level shit. Like a TV show quality. God speed
sweet what I was shooting for.
Im blown away that you can drive those roads while flying a drone! Amazing
Wow! That's amazing!
How does he do it?
I think drones have an auto follow for vehicles
@@kileNoe thanks, I'd no idea these things were so sophisticated
@@eternalextrapolations you can even like wave your hand in front of one, or like put your palm out, and it will land on your hand. If its small enough... pretty crazy.

This was a treat to watch. Ty Richie. I don't often get to see what's in my back yard here in Colorado. It was spectacular.
Amazing..... I love these places so deep in the mountains.. shows that through gods creation it is undeniable that he exists.. thanks for sharing
I agree Up there Gods handi work is more than evident
@@jailbreakoverlander Up there God will knock you over the head with the incredibility of His creation, won't he? Thanks,JO.
Ritchie, i’m sitting back having a few cold ones, wanting to watch your video. I won’t even be up at 8. Come on, stop torturing us!
srry bro it will be worth it trust me Ive watched it reedited it F%$#ed with it, it has to be tomorrow
JailBreak Overlander All good, I’m looking forward to it. Thanks Brother.
Amazing footage Ritchie, It made me nervous to see the truck so close to the edge, Thanks for sharing.
Watching this whilst drinking coffee and eating french toast! Thank you Sir! Awesome video and editing!
