Oregon, Illinois is where we will be in October for my wife's annual family reunion. Nice little town. They have the reunion on the Paddle Wheel boat called The Pride of Oregon located on Rock River. Black Hawk Statue located in Lowden State Park. Lots of interesting places to stay including one where you can rent a room where Abraham Lincoln stayed. Safe travels. Hopefully you'll show some of Oregon, Illinois.
Oregon Illinois is where I got my first chauffeurs license in 88. The license place was in the courthouse. I had an old cabover with a flatbed. The woman in the office had to be about 60 years old(that seemed old at that time in my life) I'm now 55, anyways she looks at that cabover and said I'm not getting up in that. She said if you can make it around the square and not hit anything park back where your at and you will pass. I hired on that outfit Halloween day of 1988. Not a lick of experience. The good ole days.
Nice to see you and Bailey back on the road again. I would have loved to have checked out the Vulture Mine rd. I once lived in Coolidge AZ and went to Vegas a few times. One time on my way back I was following a gas tanker heading to Wickenburg. I was in my car and I had a close to 7 hours drive home. I had a CB in my car and we BS'd down the road. Made the trip go quicker. I still run a CB in my car.
Hello Dan and Bailey thank you for the 101 on the vulture mine I will definitely check more out on the Arizona history please keep the videos rolling and you and Bailey be safe...
I see you stop in Las Cruces a lot there’s a little restaurant called the shed that you should really try if you get a chance it’s the best breakfast in Las Cruces
Hey , you should have come by the house, I live right off Vulture mine rd so of Wickenburg. I think the mine is still giving tours of the old ghost town that was part of the mine. The mine is still in operation.
truck and trailer looking good Dan , This is what I found about it Dan , 1864 and 1916 the mine run , It pulled out 360,000 ounces of gold and 260,00 ounces of silver , It is the most productive mind in Arizona History , Most likely to be the real source lost Dutchman's gold , Mickey mouse , Everybody love Mickey Mouse back in the day 😂😁 Bailey's thinking I'm hungry dad let's eat I wanna go to sleep 😂😎
Oh gosh, I got caught in a speed trap in Wickenburg on my way back to LA after racing in Phoenix. No l-10. Full on speed trap from 55-25 in half a mile. 29 in that 25 got you a ticket every time and if out of state right to count or the clerk and you paid. I had AAA and in the early 70’s there was $200 bond. I paid the $25 ticket in the Northridge CA, AAA office.
Safe Travels. Give Miss Bailey scratches behind her ears, a hug, & some smooches. Do the same for Bandit when you get home. When I’d go visit relatives in Texas from West Alabama, I’d occasionally take a back road; usually because there’s a train involved. Once I traveled as much as possible on US 11 & US 80. Plus US from East Texas to the DFW area.
Staying in Las Cruces? My father was stationed at White Sands Missile Range and we lived in La Cruces back in 1962-63 (I was just a toddler back then). Moved to Ft. Richardson, AK right afterwards. Thanks for bringing up the history!
between Winnemucca and Reno there are some open pit mines, still in operation, on I-80. think it was copper. i never got to see the inside of the large mine in SLC, but you see all the slag pits that surround it
Hubby and I stopped in Tonapah years ago on a trip from Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe then onto Reno to fly home. Safe travels. Thanks for all ur videos and posting!!
Hi Dan been following for years. Coming back out next spring. Will take that road looks like a good one. There was one you took by a copper mine I can't remember the number of that road it looked like a good one also. Safe travels my friend
First time i went to Arizona and seen the landscape the bridges there are all painted in desert colors the road runner is the state animal in New Mexico I believe
Just curious, why not go from the pickup point down toward PHX, get on the 303 taking that north and east to the 17 north to flagstaff and run the 40 east to OK? Seems a bit shorter than the route you just took down to gila bend and las cruces?
Don't forget to secure your MM nail holder with a short piece of wood. There is nothing more annoying than when the latch slips off and your stuff is all over the place. I speak from experience.
You have no idea how little the new driver's know. There needs to be a basic class or something that shows basic principles of air conditioning,air brakes, engine basics power steering, etc. Hi bailey.
Living in Iowa, that road with cacti growing everywhere looked fun. I know my home town has regular flat bed loads going out, but it's mainly farm machinery.

I bet that it's a warm one their in the summer time. Safe travels 🚛💨💨💨💨
Love going down backroads, stress free traveling
My Labrador Retriever also knows the word "walk", so I use "stroll" instead when talking to others and I don't want to get her all excited.
Vulture Mine Road looks like an Interesting Road. Looks like it doesn’t receive much traffic which is Good for those that use it. 😬👍

Love those little cactus!
Thank you Super Dan &Bailey..You two Do a wonderful ❤ Job Together ❤💙😀😊♥..
I hope you don’t work in California, but I use to! Got a ticket for toe nailing my dunnage to the deck! Love your show!
Hello Dan and Bailey thank you for the 101 on the vulture mine I will definitely check more out on the Arizona history please keep the videos rolling and you and Bailey be safe...
Hey Dan, Maybe on some vids you can have a Bailey-Cam....she could get her own tiny box in the lower left corner?? :D
Dan, Thanks for the 'backroad's' tour. Freshly washed air from monsoon season and green desert, beautiful place, peaceful and quiet.
I take 335th Ave off VMR, short hop on 10 the south to Gila Bend. Been avoiding the Phx traffic for years 👍
My mistake Dan. The problem was on my end. Good to see you and Bailey back out there again .
My Pebbles knows what "Walk" means too !! She gets all excited and starts doing a dance :) :)
I see you stop in Las Cruces a lot there’s a little restaurant called the shed that you should really try if you get a chance it’s the best breakfast in Las Cruces
I carry stake pocket holders for 4×4 they come in handy.
As a Prescottonian, it's nice to see roads I know and have driven. From your neck in the woods, yeah, this is a good first leg to get to Vegas.
I was expecting to see wile-e-coyote chasing the road runner on those back roads 🦩🐈⬛
Used to go thru Wickenburg on my way to Baghdad to load back to Iowa
Thanks Dan and Bailey for the video take care of yourself watch your back stay safe.
I love driving backroads, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video
I remember in the 60’s i was a kid. We went to those mines and went in one of the closed mines. It was neat but it was dangerous. What adventure tho.

I bet you enjoy running down back roads like that! Thanks for the ride along brother. Be most careful out there. 😎✌🏻
Welcome back my friend and Bailey
One of the few things I miss about living on AZ are the cactus views and the skies during sunrise/sunset. Stay safe
Stay safe out there on the roads.
Nice to see you two rolling again, be safe! I always enjoy the drive on the back roads in my '67 Vette.

An old trucker showed me that way years ago. Still take it if I go to Vegas from Phoenix. No traffic at all really.
That road would be bad during the monsoonal rains. We live up by the grand canyon. I havent made to Wickenberg yet.
Staying in Las Cruces? My father was stationed at White Sands Missile Range and we lived in La Cruces back in 1962-63 (I was just a toddler back then). Moved to Ft. Richardson, AK right afterwards. Thanks for bringing up the history!
Made my day seeing you had another video up since I got stuck sitting in Vernon California all day waiting on one pallet of Italian sausage
Oh yea you’re right back roads are the best I always enjoy running those myself
Have a great evening.
Been down that road many times. Stay safe Dan.
Brilliant Dan love them back roads in Arizona ( you missing the monsoon)
Stay safe on your travels 🌵🇬🇧👍
between Winnemucca and Reno there are some open pit mines, still in operation, on I-80. think it was copper. i never got to see the inside of the large mine in SLC, but you see all the slag pits that surround it
Thanks for another interesting ride Dan. Good to see you again. Blessings
Very interesting road. If you break down on it you may be waiting a while for help, not much traffic on it.
Have a great trip and stay safe.
Thanks Dan
Use to load out of casa grande AZ. For amargosa valley NV. Always came back and ran vulture mine rd seems like it was quicker than fighting Phoenix.
Thanks for the tour.
Enjoy the videos, Dan. Safe travels
Great video Dan thank you.
Going to Vegas, I take I-10 to exit 45 Vicksburg thru Parker to 62 then CA 95
Another good video Dan KEEP ON TRUCKIN 👍 🇺🇲 🚛 🐘
Gotta love those light no tarp loads
Hubby and I stopped in Tonapah years ago on a trip from Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe then onto Reno to fly home. Safe travels. Thanks for all ur videos and posting!!
You stopped at the better Tonopah. The AZ one is just a truck stop off the I 10.
Cool video Dan 👍

Thanks for the backroad tour! I have allways wonderd why the trailer have a bow on it?
Strength
Dan , you audio was very low on this video.

I thought Dan the man retired
Looking for a 🚂 Dan😁
Dan with the spread you get 40,000 right? But without it is 32,000?
34,000
IOWA??? What was that? Lol
I get what your saying it’s fine. Lol

I wish I had a whole nights running (or day) of your truck on CD. I could listen to that all night long ❤🐘🇺🇸
🤦
👍🏻👍🏻
are you sure it wasn't copper
