Imagine 50 years from now when Noraly is sipping coffee in a quaint bistro somewhere in Europe and some young waiter or waitress asks her what she did in her youth. Who would believe that she travelled to ALL these amazing places, saw all the incredible things she did, experienced all these fantastic adventures and did most of them completely by herself on a motorcycle while capturing it all for posterity? She'll be able to list on one hand the number of countries she HASN'T ridden through, and she has the video evidence to allay anyone's incredulity! Waiter "So you're telling me after a successful career as a geologist, you travelled the ENTIRE WORLD, by yourself.... on a motorcycle, creating videos of everywhere you visited.... and you educated millions of fans about the peoples, cultures, history and geological anomalies of the areas you visited?" Noraly "Yep. I even saw a mama bear and her three cubs in Yellowstone in 2022, just before I visited the Ringing Rocks in Montana while on my way to Alaska. You should really watch that season. The Americas have some really great rural countryside." You are nothing short of incredible, Noraly! THANK YOU for sharing your adventures with us, now. 😊
One day she will be old... that's something that will happen, you like it or not. But she will have só many stories to tell, so many pictures in her mind, so many adventures to think about. If she éver will settle, have a hubby and who knows maybe kids, they will ( and múst!) have the deepest resprect for her. And without any doubt, the lucky guy that may call himself her hubby, is one of the most lucky guys ever. So... Noraly, what are you doing next saterday? Into a date? :) Just kidding... you're the best, I love you, as the way many others of us do! :) Continue having fun in the USA! We all be riding with you!
She's riding 10 minutes from my home. Pipestone is awesome and ringing rocks is awesome. I left 2 hammers up there 2 years ago and they are still there and being used.
The reason there are so many thousands of miles of these beautiful back roads and trails for Noraly and other adventurers to explore is that they are primarily on public lands. Everyone needs to remember that.
One does not just passively watch Itchy Boots, one experiences it with her. What she does, how she captures and shares it - just riveting. Bravo, Noraly!!!!
As a helicopter pilot of 50 years, I flew through most of the western US, and I saw all these roads and trails, and it's just absolutely amazing to get to see them from ground level. You are just so bloody lucky, Noraly! Thank you so much for the adventure.
OK you spent 50 years on the sky..come on and spend the rest on Ground 😁👌🏻... if I'm N your shoes..I'll make it with a Caravan or bike... USA is full of beautiful scenery.... wish the best life Longer Greetings from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🌴 🌴🇸🇦🙂
@@abdulazizsaleh8650 You are absolutely right. At my last job before retiring I worked for a wonderful gentleman as a helicopter pilot on his private yacht. As we would approach a new destination we would use the helicopter to get an overall view. Once in the harbor, he would use a car to tour the area, and then he and his friends would mount bicycles to get the really true three D picture of the new city.
Are we not the luckiest 1.36M people on the planet to have the best adventure vlogger on You Tube showing us trails in the US, that most of us will never get to see in person!!!! The singing rocks would be quite a symphony if enough people could play at the same time 😉. Outstanding video as always Noraly. You are amazing!
@@cecarblanco9933 I would have never found Itchy Boots had not someone posted in a Ecuador expat group that Itchy Boots was riding in Ecuador. I am an avid motorcycle rider and I was thinking if I move to Ecuador, I would buy a small motorcycle for the beach road. Since seeing Itchy Boots in South America, I'm thinking now I would need a dual sport. I consider myself very lucky. Cheer the small things in life, you'll be a happier person.
@@jerrym3261 I like motorcycles, all I had to do was go the motorcycle section of youtube and I found several channels and Itchy boots was one of them. Charlie Sinewan is a good one too. There are many, Doodle in a motorcycle is nice too. No luck, all I had to do was go to TH-cam. I agree that Itchy Boots is or might be the best and most interesting but no luck required to find her. I just enjoyed a delicious oatmeal milkshake that I made for myself. I enjoy the simple things in life. Now, traveling the world in a motorcycle is not so simple so I think Noraly is one of the luckiest in the planet.
And another great offering Noraly - your rides, commentaries, drone flights, geology lessons , and your boundless joy , are the highlight of my, and many others day.
Millions of miles of unpaved roads, trails etc. in the United States and the back country is insanely beautiful and still untouched by the modern world. Glad you are enjoying your ride through the United States. Great channel.....excellent content and video.
“Buffalo” is a good example of the confusion that result from the use of common words. You mentioned elk vs moose in a previous segment. In this one you talked about antelope. A commonly used term for what are more accurately termed pronghorn. They are not an antelope but are the sole surviving species of their group. The Latin term is antilocapridae americanus. The first word contains both antelope and goat. Mountain lion, cougar, catamount, puma and painter are all common names applied to the same animal in different parts of the US. The Latin term is Felis concolor. I’d like to point out something else about brucellosis. It was the cattle that brought that disease to the bison. Ranchers have spent a lot of money trying to get their herds brucellosis free. Brucellosis also infects other species such as elk and beaver. Elk however are an important game species in Montana while bison are not classified as wildlife and fall under the regulations of the Dept of livestock. They don’t dare eliminate the elk as hunting and the money involved are too big. Bison are gaining a constituency but livestock interests will oppose it to the bitter end.
Remember where you saw the UPS Truck? That was Rock Creek and you rode right past my brother-in-law's house. It's not too far out of Philipsburg, MT where my husband spent his teenage years and graduated from high school. The minute you hit that road we recognized it, and it was so cool to see their house and hay barn in your video. Safe travels!
As a stone mason I was taught to ‘ring’ a stone when choosing one from the quarry. You get the quarryman to lift the stone and hit it with a hammer. If it rings clear it means the stone is without ‘shakes’ or ‘vents’ and should be good to carve.
Similar when checking out an anvil. Tap it on the horn, if it rings, the anvil is structurally okay. If it's more of a dead sound, there's a void or crack somewhere in it and it's not good. Also a way to check the stone wheels for precision grinders. It's important to "ring" them to make sure they won't fly apart when you mount them and spin them up.
@@007nadineL She could... But she's Norally and she's very precise in what she wants and how it should be done. There is also the choise of music, a small but very important part of editing. She could easely work for Television or NG. Every time she published a new video I hope and pray, she'll stay Norally, the Norally we all (almost 1.5 million followers worldwide) admire for her diversity, her skills and her modesty.
In addition to filming, producing, editing, uploading, responding to viewers, keeping in touch with family and friends, organising daily routes, visas etc etc - I wonder where she gets the time to attend to such mundane, but necessary, tasks as her laundry … and finding three meals each day … on top of maintaining her motorcycle … and unpacking and packing …. She works really hard. All power to her.
I love this woman, especially when she talks about what happens on the road and for whatever reason she laughs, and when she laughs at her own jokes, I love it. The effect is beautiful
I've been meaning to tell you for some time now what pleasure I have garnered from your exploits in such impressive landscapes. I was amazed at the beauty of Mexico and now in the Western reaches of the US. I am an old man these days living far away from the US and it pleases me to see all this through your eyes. I am grateful.
As an ex-Geologist who trained in New Zealand (when Plate Tectonics was a new-ish theory!) and worked in far northern Australia for a couple of years your geologic insights from the America’s has been fascinating as are the roads you ride, Noraly! Thanks you so much for all the inspiration you provide :-)
As an experienced off road rider I can say your riding has gotten to be very good and excellent especially considering the added weight of your luggage. Fun to watch.
I’m almost positive that I’ve seen all of your ‘Itchy Boots’ videos seasons 1 thru 6 and I feel like I know you. Having said that, it gives me so much pleasure to watch you enjoy your life doing something that you love while being so proficient at the elements that make for such extraordinary adventures. You make my heart sing ! Onward and upward, Noraly. Love from Canada…
I grew up in and have spent my life in the Western US. I’m an old native son of Nevada. I love this country so much it makes my heart want to burst. Thank you for sharing your experiences in it with the world.
Love the fact that you’re not going faster and blasting down the dirt roads. You’re enjoying the scenery, the ride, and being present in your journey. From India, through the Middle East, to South Africa with what you have seen and still be excited is incredible. Safe riding Itchy Boots!
I found your channel by accident on TH-cam last week. It’s fantastic!!! The content, the absolutely gorgeous scenery , your personality, the production value are top tier. I’ve been binge watching your episodes. You’re bringing up “Why didn’t I have the guts to do this when I was younger” moments for me all the time. So I’ll be content with living vicariously through your joy. Thank you so much. I look forward to the future videos and watching the previous content.
I love seeing you ride through my back yard. Visiting the same places and roads I’ve been to many times. Makes me feel very fortunate to live where I do. Enjoy Montana! We love our dirt roads and trails.
Amazing route through Montana, Noraly. And the yellow, famous "Kilroy was here" sign in the intro and later once more gave me an extra smile even I normally don't like wild spray paintings. As a former miner, I also believe that the "singing stones" produce the tones due to a high content of iron when they lie on top of each other. This causes the sound waves to be transmitted. If they lie on soft ground, the tones are swallowed due to the lack of resonance.
It also helps with the concept of the New Madrid earthquake on the Mississippi causing bells to ring in Boston. Igneous rock transfers shock waves much more than the sedimentary rock that absorbs the energy along the San Andreas faults.
One of your best ever, most entertaining segments. You really delivered in this one. As a Canadian I am looking forward to your travels through the Canadian West.
The ringing rocks were so interesting and fun. Alaska looks great with her new tyres. What an incredible ride all those twists and turns and stunning scenery.
The rocks probobaly singing because it have inner tension the reason could be rapid cooling lava or something like that, the fact that the mountain in this area already fall apart into the small rocks, can be a proof of this theorie
@@altergreenhorn I also found the rocks to be interesting due to the fact that they are broken down into so small of pieces like that as well... But right back there in Colorado, there are rocks the size of a large homes just laying all over the ground. Very interesting.
Norally always manages to find routes that are challenging with great scenery and points of interest . Even when things don't go as planned she manages to deal with them as every day incidents ,all the while still providing genuine entertainment and great viewing .
Your riding skills, courage, the reliability of the bike and finally tires of the bike are to be definitely admired to the fullest, the roads you were passing after those ringing stones were actually dangerous , especially when you were descending and exited randomly, Really you are adventure lady.
Changing your plans whenever it seems the right thing to do always seems to make great viewing for us Itchy Boots addicts. Great episode with great riding... Lets go!!!
The "antelope" are called Pronghorn and are, I believe, the fastest land animal in the U.S. Bison are generally called buffalo just because it has been that way (mistakenly or not) for as long as the west was settled. I believe the name has a French origin. Bill Cody, aka Buffalo Bill, was originally a scout and a buffalo hunter. The word buffalo probably just fits the wild west better.
Not only are the pronghorn the fastest mammal in North America, but they’re also the second fastest in the world! The bison misnomer date back to the first French explorers, who we’re familiar with the water buffalo of Africa, and began referring to them as buffalo while exploring the west. And for some reason it’s just stuck.
12:56 Coming over the rise to that view of the snowcapped mountains; breathtaking. And the ride through the forests with the fun twist and turns. And the friendly run with the pronghorn. Another epic ride. Safe travels.
Every western state in the US has a designated offroad tracks that takes you through the entire state (South to North). The designated trails are called "Backcountry Discovery Route" BDR. These tracks are vey popular with adventure riders and take you through small towns and back roads.
Thanks for explaining BDR. I have watched so many adventure videos and they always talk about BDR and took it for granted us foreigners knew what that meant.
Not all states have one yet, Montana does not, nor Northern CA. They're working on them. They're also working on one for Oregon, though there's a bit of a story there as one already exists. Important to note, there is no "official" designation for these routes as they are all done by a private group of individuals who are adventure riders wanting to provide documented routes that have been thoroughly researched and ridden for everyone else to enjoy, especially if you have a limited time table. And for those on the East Coast, who are probably the ones who told Noraly everything is paved, well, they have something for you too in the form of the Mid Atlantic BDR and the North East BDR. They are working on a Southern one now as well.
"Weeeee!" is right! That may be one of your best rides ever. Great roads, gorgeous scenery of forest, rivers, and mountains. Racing the little deer, seeing the mountain goats. Not to mention ringing rocks! I also had wondered if you would find the roads you like here because so much is tamed and paved, but you found the wild routes, no problem. Happy Trails!
Actually, it’s not so hard to find dirt roads and trails in the US. All you have to do is get off the couch, get out of the metropolis, and get off the interstate highways. It’s beautiful out there beyond your understanding. You have to see the US with your eyes to really get it.
Putting the pieces together, you must have gotten through Yellowstone by the skin of your teeth - massive flooding took out the road to Gardiner and shut down the entire park for several days this summer. Stay safe and continue the charmed life, Noraly!
I'm guessing she was there in very early spring, as the lakes were still frozen over. We are seeing this near the end of summer. She must be a few months ahead of what we see. fun to guess, anyway
Im so happy you enjoy the roads less traveled.I completely understand solo travel.Its my favorite mode most of the time.But what makes me smile more than anything else is the fact that you share your 2 wheel adventures.Thank You so much!
I’m a UPS driver in Northern Virginia and I look forward to watching your videos when I’m on lunch. I would love that drivers route when it’s not winter!
I really enjoy the pace you take when traveling (small sprints at a time), we are normally in such a rush to get to the destination, that we forgot the journey along the way.
The ringing comes from the combination of high tensile and low damping. Pure aluminum is acoustically dead and one alloy of aluminum is used for sound deadening. However 6061-T6 aluminum alloy rings and can make a nice tuning fork. If you were to put one of these ringing rocks on 3 hard points rather than on the ground, it would likely ring there too by itself.
The word buffalo is derived from the French “bœuf,” a name given to bison when French fur trappers working in the US in the early 1600s saw the animals. The word bœuf came from what the French knew as true buffalo, animals living in Africa and Asia.Nov 10, 2020
Father of Pie; Noraly, she asked this question i'am very glad. I was wondering too, you gave a nice descriptive information. Many thanks, greetings from Istanbul.
@@WillemAnema Because they originated in Buffalo, NY. In 1964 a bar in Buffalo called the Anchor Bar received wings instead of other chicken parts. They really didn't know what to do with them and thus buffalo wings were born.
What an awesome day of off roading, in such a beautiful place, all those nice views of the river, pronghorn and mountain sheep and you had the place to yourself! Thanks for taking us along Noraly, all the best on your continued trip to Alaska.
Wonderful stuff, Noraly. Seeing America through your eyes is so fun and interesting. Your knowledge of geology is a huge bonus for us viewers - high school never made that interesting or even relevant, but you certainly do! Us viewers thank you!!!
Seeing Noraly riding through America makes me realize even more what makes America special. It is so vast and diverse, there is something for everyone. If you don't like a state, there is always another state for you to move to and start anew.
Very intuitive Noraly, you almost always find the most interesting “tracks,” Then you supply an added geology lesson, Plus you’re almost “Cliffhanger narrative episodes keeps me anticipating the next one. The thing that keeps me twisting and turning in my easy chair is the camera video from the right lower side of Alaska’s front wheel reacting to the roots and rocks ahead! Just Lost my ridin’ buddy of many many years; we’re both in our 80s. I had just introduced him to you and your episodes two days before he passed. He absolutely loved the ones he saw!
My son lives near Livingston Mt where you were today. Beautiful countryside………..in the summer. You just rode by his home on Trail Creek Road. Very cool.
After seeing you abroad for years, it makes me so happy to see you enjoying the nature of my home country. You are a most welcome guest in the states Noraly! ❤️
Your travels take you to places I've never seen or in some cases never heard of which is no doubt the same for many who watch your Channel...so it is an education for all as well as a grand adventure...fantastic drone footage..well done..
"This is so much nicer to make my way west like this than on the interstate right?" Noraly, you're living my dream! Thank you for sharing! As always, stay safe and happy trails!
Amazing dirt roads & tracks, antelope, big horn sheep, a UPS truck surprise and ringing rocks. Glad the tire combination is working great getting you north. Where ever you are Noraly, have a warm & great weekend.
This channel is 3 in one., you learn so many things!!! Thank you Noraly for let us travel with you to all those amazing places. And by the way my soul rested when you crossed to the USA from Mexico. GOD bless you and take care of you always.
That is Pipestone ohv near Butte, mt. Raised my kids on those trails riding dirt bikes. Always stopping to bang on those rocks. Loving the channel. Bozeman is cheering you on.
Noraly is an amazing route planner and an outstanding navigator, she makes it look easy but that is deceptive. Her greatest achievement in the whole Alaska project will be that she managed to do the whole South to North expedition mostly off-road which nobody else has done to such an extent before. Adventure motorcycling is a very over used term today, but this actually is true adventure riding at it's very best. The buffalo misnaming is due to immigrants coming from many parts of the world where buffalo came from. A broadly similar looking beast but a totally different branch of the bovine family.
Yes! "True adventure riding", I know people that have "adventure motorcycles" that would cry if they got on a track that Itchy Boots rides with all her gear strapped on. People far underestimate how much harder it is to ride with weight attached, it is not easy.
It’s just amazing to see her joy of riding on dirt road! I believe, her reactions, jokes and beings naturally just like “us”, ( not playing a role) makes her unique! Thanks for your sharing this amazing journey
Our UPS drivers in rural Montana are AMAZING! They become fast friends! Love my driver Dustin who ‘visits’ me in rural Trout Creek on my dirt road :^) God I love your joy and enthusiasm. I love all of the positive people on here too! I love seeing you in the city of Missoula where I lived for 2 years and hoping you make it up through the beautiful valley that holds Plains, Thompson Falls and Trout Creek!! Rubber side down!
I am absolutely in love with this series I just found your channel a few days ago and I can't stop watching!! The little snippets of knowledge and history you throw in to these videos are great??
My handyman was over fixing some cracked floor tiles the other day and I was watching Itchy Boots on my big Tv. He rushed out of the bedroom saying,”ITCHY BOOTS! Itchy Boots…” it turns out that he is also a subscriber. Interestingly, he is from Central America. You have fans everywhere!
So true… and best episode ever… played Angel music on God’s rocks and grooved her harmonic frequency on those trails without batting an eye along those cliffs!
I am so happy that you found these off- the-beaten-path roads to ride. You get a much better experience, seeing the landscape and all the various wildlife, not to mention the fun of navigating all types of terrain. I've not visited Idaho so I am so much looking forward to you next episodes. I simply love what you do. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this trip. I have not been home to Montana in 30 years, so am crying right now. Your trip brought back so many happy memories for me. Thank you again. Safe travels to you.
Noraly I smiled during this entire video listening to your excited mile by mile amazement of riding US dirt tracks & trails. You are truly a precious gem to all of your subscribers.
Good morning Noraly, a new adventure to live through your travels, thanks for giving us these beautiful videos and the teachings with your narrations, take care travel safely
Hahahaha! I LOVE It! I actually shouted out loud when Noraly said she was riding to my home town at the beginning of this video! I know its silly but I never would have thought at the beginning of this season she would have been traveling through my home state and my home town! I'm so glad she enjoyed her ride through "Big Sky Country", we Montanans take great pride in our state and all it has to offer. I'm not sure who was telling her that America has no dirt roads anymore but as she found out and I, along with many, many more Americans know that is an absolute lie. I feel she could not have picked a more fantastic route to travel north towards Canada, especially in the spring when the contrast in colors is so amazing in every western state! Enjoy Idaho! There is fantastic riding all over that state too!
Hey Noraly, do you carry a can of bear spray somewhere instantly accessible? The kind of territory you are traveling in creates the possibility of an unintentional face-to-face encounter. Won’t harm the bear and can be very beneficial to your health!
I bet we are not alone. That thought runs up my head every second Noraly is riding tru those forest. Hope she has that can ready, and the pumas , the pumas. Of course ,she travelled around the world with just a flat tire as her biggest problem. And remember , she is a Martian in a human body,therefore , she is protected by a magnetic shield projected from her spaceship. Lol 😂. And yes, she has a husband lover in mars,his name is …Carlos , what a coincidence. We all love you Noraly., you opened our eyes to a world out of this world.
Noraly you go where angels fear to tread. My heart was in my mouth on some of those narrow tracks. You have such good control of Alaska. This was better than the roller coaster. I am truly amazed at the content you provide us. Love every bit of it. The scenery is amazing.God Bless and keep safe.
There is a place in Pennsylvania that has "ringing rocks" as well. It's awesome, took the kids to play around and climb one time. Such beautiful scenery you are sharing, thank you!
Beautiful route through the Peace Valley, Nice race with that Pronghorn! *fastest land animal in N America* (also called "speed sheep"). Great drone shot from Ringing Rocks of the Tobacco Root mountains in the background. That Homestake pass area she was riding in after the Ringing Rocks are is so damn cool. @16:23......thats my back yard! So cool to know you had to ride past my place to get to this area. @17:13 The Clark Ranch!
Montana, snow capped mounbtains, wide and green river valleys, just beautiful and some great trails to ride, wow - then the drone footage to bring it all together. Thanks Noraly.
I just can't believe it. Yet another epic video with the most awesome routes. Even when you take a chance on a trail you hadn't planned you score a huge win. I too am amazed at how many awesome off-road trails there are in America. I also envisaged a highly developed road infrastructure that would offer little "adventure riding" but clearly you are the global authority on finding adventure trails.
You nailed it. The U.S.A. is indeed one big playground as all who have the time to explore soon discover. Happy you are enjoying your adventure. Ride Free Noraly!
Love the roads with pine trees on the side, my favorite. Alaska's new shoes look really, she's ready for more roads like are ready to keep enjoying your new videos, Norally you are great always with a smile on your face.
I can't stand these videos much longer, such a blast it would be. I'm planning on upgrading from my drz to a husqvarna 501 this winter, saving the rest of my money and doing a tour of western canada, seeing my sister in van, riding up north to see my relatives up there, I'm no youtuber but i'd just be great to see some of these places from a bike. drz 400, 250, yamaha xt250 my first on offroad bike ktx 125, xl 80 my first bike at 8. all the fun you can have is on an enduro bike, the J.A.Pan corporation has a great selection. We can see Noraly's skill improve on these trails, its a slow building confidence when you're on dirt, trusting your tires, your bikes response, heck yeah.
The word buffalo is derived from the French “bœuf,” a name given to bison when French fur trappers working in the US in the early 1600s saw the animals. The word bœuf came from what the French knew as true buffalo, animals living in Africa and Asia.
If I may; I am a french speaking Quebec resident, and you are true about this word origin but I may add that Buffalo was an english appropriation of the more complete words ''boeuf à l'eau'' (Buf-a-lo) as theses African and Asian animals were called like you mentionned. And yes another interesting historical fact is that most westward US discovery expeditions were lead by French Canadian ''coureurs des bois'' (fur trappers or those who run the woods). : -)
Ah Noraly, what a great way to start the day:) Just enough time to watch before heading off to work. A million and a half of us can't be wrong; you're doing what all of us(outdoors/adventure types, anyway) would probably rather be doing! Love it!
Though the terms are often used interchangeably, buffalo and bison are distinct animals. Old World “true” buffalo (Cape buffalo and water buffalo) are native to Africa and Asia. Bison are found in North America and Europe. Both bison and buffalo are in the bovidae family, but the two are not closely related.
As you are discovering, we do have many wonderful dirt roads, and two tracks every where in the USA. The roads and trails that you rode in this video are calling my name. It Looked like you had a blast riding them. You created another scenic, thrilling, and informative video. Thanks.

Imagine 50 years from now when Noraly is sipping coffee in a quaint bistro somewhere in Europe and some young waiter or waitress asks her what she did in her youth. Who would believe that she travelled to ALL these amazing places, saw all the incredible things she did, experienced all these fantastic adventures and did most of them completely by herself on a motorcycle while capturing it all for posterity? She'll be able to list on one hand the number of countries she HASN'T ridden through, and she has the video evidence to allay anyone's incredulity!
Waiter "So you're telling me after a successful career as a geologist, you travelled the ENTIRE WORLD, by yourself.... on a motorcycle, creating videos of everywhere you visited.... and you educated millions of fans about the peoples, cultures, history and geological anomalies of the areas you visited?"
Noraly "Yep. I even saw a mama bear and her three cubs in Yellowstone in 2022, just before I visited the Ringing Rocks in Montana while on my way to Alaska. You should really watch that season. The Americas have some really great rural countryside."
You are nothing short of incredible, Noraly! THANK YOU for sharing your adventures with us, now.
😊
@Dennis Phoenix YES! And few would likely believe her..... except she's got the receipts that we get to enjoy three days per week! 😁
I bet you she'll have trail tires on her wheelchair.
One day she will be old... that's something that will happen, you like it or not. But she will have só many stories to tell, so many pictures in her mind, so many adventures to think about. If she éver will settle, have a hubby and who knows maybe kids, they will ( and múst!) have the deepest resprect for her. And without any doubt, the lucky guy that may call himself her hubby, is one of the most lucky guys ever. So... Noraly, what are you doing next saterday? Into a date? :) Just kidding... you're the best, I love you, as the way many others of us do! :) Continue having fun in the USA! We all be riding with you!
And I'll bet the waiter, after hearing her tell her tale, will say, "yeah, SUUUUUURE you did, lady?!" If he only knew!
@Dennis Phoenix Maybe you have a point Dennis.. on the other side, you'll never know :) Maybe, at some age, things change.... or not...
She's riding 10 minutes from my home. Pipestone is awesome and ringing rocks is awesome. I left 2 hammers up there 2 years ago and they are still there and being used.
Thank you for the hammers!

So beautiful 🤩 you are lucky 🍀
Born and raised in Butte! Cowboyed in Harrison and whitehall areas. Howdy neighbor!
Howdy from Trout Creek!!
The reason there are so many thousands of miles of these beautiful back roads and trails for Noraly and other adventurers to explore is that they are primarily on public lands. Everyone needs to remember that.
One does not just passively watch Itchy Boots, one experiences it with her. What she does, how she captures and shares it - just riveting. Bravo, Noraly!!!!
Yes … SHE RIDES AND OUR HEARTS STOP …
As a helicopter pilot of 50 years, I flew through most of the western US, and I saw all these roads and trails, and it's just absolutely amazing to get to see them from ground level. You are just so bloody lucky, Noraly! Thank you so much for the adventure.
OK you spent 50 years on the sky..come on and spend the rest on Ground 😁👌🏻... if I'm N your shoes..I'll make it with a Caravan or bike... USA is full of beautiful scenery.... wish the best life Longer

@@abdulazizsaleh8650 You are absolutely right. At my last job before retiring I worked for a wonderful gentleman as a helicopter pilot on his private yacht. As we would approach a new destination we would use the helicopter to get an overall view.

What does luck have to do with it? How hard it is to subscribe? When I win the jackpot then I will consider myself one of the luckiest.
@@cecarblanco9933 I would have never found Itchy Boots had not someone posted in a Ecuador expat group that Itchy Boots was riding in Ecuador. I am an avid motorcycle rider and I was thinking if I move to Ecuador, I would buy a small motorcycle for the beach road. Since seeing Itchy Boots in South America, I'm thinking now I would need a dual sport. I consider myself very lucky. Cheer the small things in life, you'll be a happier person.
@@jerrym3261 I like motorcycles, all I had to do was go the motorcycle section of youtube and I found several channels and Itchy boots was one of them. Charlie Sinewan is a good one too. There are many, Doodle in a motorcycle is nice too. No luck, all I had to do was go to TH-cam. I agree that Itchy Boots is or might be the best and most interesting but no luck required to find her. I just enjoyed a delicious oatmeal milkshake that I made for myself. I enjoy the simple things in life. Now, traveling the world in a motorcycle is not so simple so I think Noraly is one of the luckiest in the planet.
Itchy Boots is one of the best kept secrets on social media. It's why she is so seldom recognized (the helmet and goggles help to).
I agree 100% . Her channel is educational and uplifting.
And another great offering Noraly - your rides, commentaries, drone flights, geology lessons , and your boundless joy , are the highlight of my, and many others day.
Amen
Very well said Howard.
Howard: You forgot to mention those beautiful eyes, and fantastic smile!
Millions of miles of unpaved roads, trails etc. in the United States and the back country is insanely beautiful and still untouched by the modern world. Glad you are enjoying your ride through the United States. Great channel.....excellent content and video.
“Buffalo” is a good example of the confusion that result from the use of common words. You mentioned elk vs moose in a previous segment. In this one you talked about antelope. A commonly used term for what are more accurately termed pronghorn. They are not an antelope but are the sole surviving species of their group. The Latin term is antilocapridae americanus. The first word contains both antelope and goat. Mountain lion, cougar, catamount, puma and painter are all common names applied to the same animal in different parts of the US. The Latin term is Felis concolor. I’d like to point out something else about brucellosis. It was the cattle that brought that disease to the bison. Ranchers have spent a lot of money trying to get their herds brucellosis free. Brucellosis also infects other species such as elk and beaver. Elk however are an important game species in Montana while bison are not classified as wildlife and fall under the regulations of the Dept of livestock. They don’t dare eliminate the elk as hunting and the money involved are too big. Bison are gaining a constituency but livestock interests will oppose it to the bitter end.
Well Said....
Awesome Wesley; so informative and easily understood, thank you for your shared knowledge!!
Bison might make a pretty good venison/pork type mix for Tamale stuffing.
I was gunna say cause "America"😮
the difference is you can't wash your hands in a buffalo
Remember where you saw the UPS Truck? That was Rock Creek and you rode right past my brother-in-law's house. It's not too far out of Philipsburg, MT where my husband spent his teenage years and graduated from high school. The minute you hit that road we recognized it, and it was so cool to see their house and hay barn in your video. Safe travels!
So it IS a small world after all! Wonderful story.
Lovely spot to live!
So you know Jean Mckinney?
As a stone mason I was taught to ‘ring’ a stone when choosing one from the quarry. You get the quarryman to lift the stone and hit it with a hammer. If it rings clear it means the stone is without ‘shakes’ or ‘vents’ and should be good to carve.
Ahhhh…egggssseellleeennntttt. We have lost so much. Your little description teaches so much!
makes sense - solid !!!
Basalt columns make that pinging sound I worked in a stone supply yard and with the different sizes they made different tones, maybe those are basalt
Similar when checking out an anvil. Tap it on the horn, if it rings, the anvil is structurally okay. If it's more of a dead sound, there's a void or crack somewhere in it and it's not good. Also a way to check the stone wheels for precision grinders. It's important to "ring" them to make sure they won't fly apart when you mount them and spin them up.
@@ajm2193 They are!
Can we take a moment to appreciate the effort she puts to edit so much as she rides... amazing!
Yes kaetos, She does a fantastic job of videoing and editing!!!
Yeah, I've thought of that a bunch of times while watching her video. She does a really top notch job!
@@007nadineL She could... But she's Norally and she's very precise in what she wants and how it should be done. There is also the choise of music, a small but very important part of editing. She could easely work for Television or NG. Every time she published a new video I hope and pray, she'll stay Norally, the Norally we all (almost 1.5 million followers worldwide) admire for her diversity, her skills and her modesty.
In addition to filming, producing, editing, uploading, responding to viewers, keeping in touch with family and friends, organising daily routes, visas etc etc - I wonder where she gets the time to attend to such mundane, but necessary, tasks as her laundry … and finding three meals each day … on top of maintaining her motorcycle … and unpacking and packing …. She works really hard. All power to her.
Agreed! Good remark! I'll have that moment now for a few years already :)
I love this woman, especially when she talks about what happens on the road and for whatever reason she laughs, and when she laughs at her own jokes, I love it. The effect is beautiful
I've been meaning to tell you for some time now what pleasure I have garnered from your exploits in such impressive landscapes. I was amazed at the beauty of Mexico and now in the Western reaches of the US. I am an old man these days living far away from the US and it pleases me to see all this through your eyes. I am grateful.
Wow! Now she is showing us stuff in our own country that I bet most of us have never seen or heard of before. GREAT JOB NORALY!!!
There are dirt roads all over the U.S. including in the east.
Noraly, you have the best videos on adventure travel that I've ever watched ! Thank you!
As an ex-Geologist who trained in New Zealand (when Plate Tectonics was a new-ish theory!) and worked in far northern Australia for a couple of years your geologic insights from the America’s has been fascinating as are the roads you ride, Noraly! Thanks you so much for all the inspiration you provide :-)
It's just so great to see someone enjoying themselves so thoroughly and sharing it with all the rest of us. Thank you!
As an experienced off road rider I can say your riding has gotten to be very good and excellent especially considering the added weight of your luggage.
Fun to watch.
LOL caught myself biting my nails on some of that trail riding! It was close to Trials competition riding.
I checked your Channel..I though you have some Episode while you Ride a motorbike 🏍 😉
I think I can safely say "We love Noraly and wish her safe travels wherever she goes!"
I’m almost positive that I’ve seen all of your ‘Itchy Boots’ videos seasons 1 thru 6 and I feel like I know you. Having said that, it gives me so much pleasure to watch you enjoy your life doing something that you love while being so proficient at the elements that make for such extraordinary adventures. You make my heart sing ! Onward and upward, Noraly. Love from Canada…
I grew up in and have spent my life in the Western US. I’m an old native son of Nevada. I love this country so much it makes my heart want to burst. Thank you for sharing your experiences in it with the world.
Love the fact that you’re not going faster and blasting down the dirt roads. You’re enjoying the scenery, the ride, and being present in your journey. From India, through the Middle East, to South Africa with what you have seen and still be excited is incredible. Safe riding Itchy Boots!
"WEEEEEE!" That reaction by Noraly pretty much sums up her reaction to riding and life. That pronghorn antelope was barely in 3rd gear. They are fast!
Loved that part ! Was going to comment on it, but I'll go with yours ! !
Seeing a herd of speedgoats is very impressive-
I found your channel by accident on TH-cam last week. It’s fantastic!!! The content, the absolutely gorgeous scenery , your personality, the production value are top tier. I’ve been binge watching your episodes. You’re bringing up “Why didn’t I have the guts to do this when I was younger” moments for me all the time. So I’ll be content with living vicariously through your joy. Thank you so much. I look forward to the future videos and watching the previous content.
This is by far my favorite channel to watch 😁
I'm excited every time I get a notification of a new video. Thank you for the great content!!🤗
I love seeing you ride through my back yard. Visiting the same places and roads I’ve been to many times. Makes me feel very fortunate to live where I do. Enjoy Montana! We love our dirt roads and trails.
The fantastic trail that this episode opens with, where is it and what is it's name?
Amazing route through Montana, Noraly. And the yellow, famous "Kilroy was here" sign in the intro and later once more gave me an extra smile even I normally don't like wild spray paintings. As a former miner, I also believe that the "singing stones" produce the tones due to a high content of iron when they lie on top of each other. This causes the sound waves to be transmitted. If they lie on soft ground, the tones are swallowed due to the lack of resonance.
It also helps with the concept of the New Madrid earthquake on the Mississippi causing bells to ring in Boston. Igneous rock transfers shock waves much more than the sedimentary rock that absorbs the energy along the San Andreas faults.
One of your best ever, most entertaining segments. You really delivered in this one. As a Canadian I am looking forward to your travels through the Canadian West.
The ringing rocks were so interesting and fun. Alaska looks great with her new tyres. What an incredible ride all those twists and turns and stunning scenery.
The rocks probobaly singing because it have inner tension the reason could be rapid cooling lava or something like that, the fact that the mountain in this area already fall apart into the small rocks, can be a proof of this theorie
@@altergreenhorn I also found the rocks to be interesting due to the fact that they are broken down into so small of pieces like that as well... But right back there in Colorado, there are rocks the size of a large homes just laying all over the ground. Very interesting.
Norally always manages to find routes that are challenging with great scenery and points of interest . Even when things don't go as planned she manages to deal with them as every day incidents ,all the while still providing genuine entertainment and great viewing .
Your riding skills, courage, the reliability of the bike and finally tires of the bike are to be definitely admired to the fullest, the roads you were passing after those ringing stones were actually dangerous , especially when you were descending and exited randomly, Really you are adventure lady.
What rods are you talking about? I don't see any.
@@gilvietor1918 Sorry, I mean Roads
Brilliant filming and camera angles, awesome riding and sceneries, amazing ringing rocks and animals…one treat, WOW!
Changing your plans whenever it seems the right thing to do always seems to make great viewing for us Itchy Boots addicts. Great episode with great riding... Lets go!!!
The "antelope" are called Pronghorn and are, I believe, the fastest land animal in the U.S. Bison are generally called buffalo just because it has been that way (mistakenly or not) for as long as the west was settled. I believe the name has a French origin. Bill Cody, aka Buffalo Bill, was originally a scout and a buffalo hunter. The word buffalo probably just fits the wild west better.
Pronghorn aka speed goats.
Not only are the pronghorn the fastest mammal in North America, but they’re also the second fastest in the world! The bison misnomer date back to the first French explorers, who we’re familiar with the water buffalo of Africa, and began referring to them as buffalo while exploring the west. And for some reason it’s just stuck.
Thank goodness . "Bison Bill" just isn't as cool as "Buffalo Bill"!@@tman2177
Great job finding the best motorcycle routes. Looks like tremendous fun!
That twisting track through the forest must have been such fun, and again the views were stunning. Thanks for another brilliant episode Norally.
12:56 Coming over the rise to that view of the snowcapped mountains; breathtaking. And the ride through the forests with the fun twist and turns. And the friendly run with the pronghorn. Another epic ride. Safe travels.
Every western state in the US has a designated offroad tracks that takes you through the entire state (South to North). The designated trails are called "Backcountry Discovery Route" BDR. These tracks are vey popular with adventure riders and take you through small towns and back roads.
That's awesome, thanks for sharing! Bucket list note...
Thanks for explaining BDR. I have watched so many adventure videos and they always talk about BDR and took it for granted us foreigners knew what that meant.
Not all states have one yet, Montana does not, nor Northern CA. They're working on them. They're also working on one for Oregon, though there's a bit of a story there as one already exists. Important to note, there is no "official" designation for these routes as they are all done by a private group of individuals who are adventure riders wanting to provide documented routes that have been thoroughly researched and ridden for everyone else to enjoy, especially if you have a limited time table. And for those on the East Coast, who are probably the ones who told Noraly everything is paved, well, they have something for you too in the form of the Mid Atlantic BDR and the North East BDR. They are working on a Southern one now as well.
I just learned something new today. I never knew about BDR . Thanks
Montana probably does not need a BDR. The state is a giant BDR, except for a few huge private land holdings.
"Weeeee!" is right! That may be one of your best rides ever. Great roads, gorgeous scenery of forest, rivers, and mountains. Racing the little deer, seeing the mountain goats. Not to mention ringing rocks! I also had wondered if you would find the roads you like here because so much is tamed and paved, but you found the wild routes, no problem. Happy Trails!
Sometimes, I think the wild routes find her. The universe is an amazing place. Noraly is one with the universe, just along for the best ride ever.
Actually, it’s not so hard to find dirt roads and trails in the US. All you have to do is get off the couch, get out of the metropolis, and get off the interstate highways. It’s beautiful out there beyond your understanding. You have to see the US with your eyes to really get it.
Love it so much, when you give geological insights on all these locations where you wander! Cheers to you! 🤘
Putting the pieces together, you must have gotten through Yellowstone by the skin of your teeth - massive flooding took out the road to Gardiner and shut down the entire park for several days this summer. Stay safe and continue the charmed life, Noraly!
I'm guessing she was there in very early spring, as the lakes were still frozen over. We are seeing this near the end of summer. She must be a few months ahead of what we see. fun to guess, anyway
It would seem that she must be 2-3 months behind on the videos. She has run into some snow that should not be there in July and August.
@@DBartWest Her videos are 11 weeks behind.
It makes sense she would time it to be done in Alaska before summer is changing to fall. I think you all are correct here.
@@cch255 ya i figured spring as well, look at the aspens and cottonwoods, they are vibrant green and new growth and that is spring.
The nicest dirt trail I’ve ever seen. Just gorgeous!
Im so happy you enjoy the roads less traveled.I completely understand solo travel.Its my favorite mode most of the time.But what makes me smile more than anything else is the fact that you share your 2 wheel adventures.Thank You so much!
I’m a UPS driver in Northern Virginia and I look forward to watching your videos when I’m on lunch. I would love that drivers route when it’s not winter!
I really enjoy the pace you take when traveling (small sprints at a time), we are normally in such a rush to get to the destination, that we forgot the journey along the way.
Isn't that the truth? My mom would get "lost" just so she could look around, drove my dad nuts!
Remember, the way is the destination!!
@@poesraven4540 ha ha haa...
Sound familiar 😂😂😂
Montana is special. it's a truly beautiful part of the world.
The ringing comes from the combination of high tensile and low damping. Pure aluminum is acoustically dead and one alloy of aluminum is used for sound deadening. However 6061-T6 aluminum alloy rings and can make a nice tuning fork. If you were to put one of these ringing rocks on 3 hard points rather than on the ground, it would likely ring there too by itself.
Seeing them, my thought was that their very irregular shapes keep contact points to a minimum allowing free vibration.
Bingo!
The word buffalo is derived from the French “bœuf,” a name given to bison when French fur trappers working in the US in the early 1600s saw the animals. The word bœuf came from what the French knew as true buffalo, animals living in Africa and Asia.Nov 10, 2020
The French. Of course.
Ok, now explain buffalo wings... 🤔
@@WillemAnema Buffalo Wings were invented in Buffalo, New York.
Father of Pie; Noraly, she asked this question i'am very glad. I was wondering too, you gave a nice descriptive information. Many thanks, greetings from Istanbul.
@@WillemAnema Because they originated in Buffalo, NY. In 1964 a bar in Buffalo called the Anchor Bar received wings instead of other chicken parts. They really didn't know what to do with them and thus buffalo wings were born.
Wonderful trip Noraly Montana is an awesome state.
What an awesome day of off roading, in such a beautiful place, all those nice views of the river, pronghorn and mountain sheep and you had the place to yourself! Thanks for taking us along Noraly, all the best on your continued trip to Alaska.
Wonderful stuff, Noraly.
Seeing America through your eyes is so fun and interesting.
Your knowledge of geology is a huge bonus for us viewers - high school never made that interesting or even relevant, but you certainly do!
Us viewers thank you!!!
Absolutely!
Seeing Noraly riding through America makes me realize even more what makes America special. It is so vast and diverse, there is something for everyone. If you don't like a state, there is always another state for you to move to and start anew.
Very intuitive Noraly, you almost always find the most interesting “tracks,” Then you supply an added geology lesson, Plus you’re almost “Cliffhanger narrative episodes keeps me anticipating the next one.
The thing that keeps me twisting and turning in my easy chair is the camera video from the right lower side of Alaska’s front wheel reacting to the roots and rocks ahead!
Just Lost my ridin’ buddy of many many years; we’re both in our 80s. I had just introduced him to you and your episodes two days before he passed. He absolutely loved the ones he saw!
My condolences for your loss, Ralph. (BTW: Ralph was my dad's name, and is my middle name.)
My son lives near Livingston Mt where you were today. Beautiful countryside………..in the summer. You just rode by his home on Trail Creek Road. Very cool.
After seeing you abroad for years, it makes me so happy to see you enjoying the nature of my home country. You are a most welcome guest in the states Noraly! ❤️
Your travels take you to places I've never seen or in some cases never heard of which is no doubt the same for many who watch your Channel...so it is an education for all as well as a grand adventure...fantastic drone footage..well done..
Thank you for sharing Montana’s landscape, wildlife, and geological explanations. Fantastic episode!!
"This is so much nicer to make my way west like this than on the interstate right?" Noraly, you're living my dream! Thank you for sharing! As always, stay safe and happy trails!
What an incredible changing landscape! Dry, pines, mountains!! Thanks for bringing us along.
Those joyful giggles as you were winding through the dirt trails are still ringing in my ears, bringing out the joy in me. Montannaaaah!
Amazing dirt roads & tracks, antelope, big horn sheep, a UPS truck surprise and ringing rocks.
Glad the tire combination is working great getting you north.
Where ever you are Noraly, have a warm & great weekend.
This channel is 3 in one., you learn so many things!!! Thank you Noraly for let us travel with you to all those amazing places. And by the way my soul rested when you crossed to the USA from Mexico. GOD bless you and take care of you always.
That is Pipestone ohv near Butte, mt. Raised my kids on those trails riding dirt bikes. Always stopping to bang on those rocks. Loving the channel. Bozeman is cheering you on.
So would you have an idea of what time of year it is that she is riding?
Based on all the snow she has been encountering in the high country I’d say June.
Wheeeee! Wow! What a wonderful playground you found! "Look, dirt road, Let's try that!"
You truly do ROCK!! Wishing you many more Happy Trails! 💖🏍🤠
Noraly is an amazing route planner and an outstanding navigator, she makes it look easy but that is deceptive. Her greatest achievement in the whole Alaska project will be that she managed to do the whole South to North expedition mostly off-road which nobody else has done to such an extent before. Adventure motorcycling is a very over used term today, but this actually is true adventure riding at it's very best. The buffalo misnaming is due to immigrants coming from many parts of the world where buffalo came from. A broadly similar looking beast but a totally different branch of the bovine family.
Thanks to gps of course
@@007skumarajay GPS doesn't always tell you routes that are blocked by locked gates, landslides, etc.
@@onealjones9039 you are right. Be cool man. I
Yes! "True adventure riding", I know people that have "adventure motorcycles" that would cry if they got on a track that Itchy Boots rides with all her gear strapped on. People far underestimate how much harder it is to ride with weight attached, it is not easy.
@@007skumarajay no offense meant. I've just found that out the hard way.. back tracking sucks man.
It’s just amazing to see her joy of riding on dirt road! I believe, her reactions, jokes and beings naturally just like “us”, ( not playing a role) makes her unique! Thanks for your sharing this amazing journey
Our UPS drivers in rural Montana are AMAZING! They become fast friends! Love my driver Dustin who ‘visits’ me in rural Trout Creek on my dirt road :^) God I love your joy and enthusiasm. I love all of the positive people on here too! I love seeing you in the city of Missoula where I lived for 2 years and hoping you make it up through the beautiful valley that holds Plains, Thompson Falls and Trout Creek!! Rubber side down!
I am absolutely in love with this series I just found your channel a few days ago and I can't stop watching!! The little snippets of knowledge and history you throw in to these videos are great??
My handyman was over fixing some cracked floor tiles the other day and I was watching Itchy Boots on my big Tv. He rushed out of the bedroom saying,”ITCHY BOOTS! Itchy Boots…” it turns out that he is also a subscriber. Interestingly, he is from Central America. You have fans everywhere!
You should start from India, the first series
With your eyes I saw the whole world, thank you for every minute of exploring around 🗺️👍☺️
Such a beautiful and life affirming community Noraly has created here . Altering outlooks on our world . " I'm so stoked " , as are we Noraly .
So true… and best episode ever… played Angel music on God’s rocks and grooved her harmonic frequency on those trails without batting an eye along those cliffs!
I am so happy that you found these off- the-beaten-path roads to ride. You get a much better experience, seeing the landscape and all the various wildlife, not to mention the fun of navigating all types of terrain. I've not visited Idaho so I am so much looking forward to you next episodes. I simply love what you do. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this trip. I have not been home to Montana in 30 years, so am crying right now. Your trip brought back so many happy memories for me. Thank you again. Safe travels to you.
Oh Noraly , you are so nailing it, your route choices, your bike, your attitude. So refreshing, thanks so much for having us along.
Noraly I smiled during this entire video listening to your excited mile by mile amazement of riding US dirt tracks & trails. You are truly a precious gem to all of your subscribers.
STUNNING VIEWS NORALY... thanks for sharing all your beatiful video's ....
Good morning Noraly, a new adventure to live through your travels, thanks for giving us these beautiful videos and the teachings with your narrations, take care travel safely
Hahahaha! I LOVE It! I actually shouted out loud when Noraly said she was riding to my home town at the beginning of this video! I know its silly but I never would have thought at the beginning of this season she would have been traveling through my home state and my home town! I'm so glad she enjoyed her ride through "Big Sky Country", we Montanans take great pride in our state and all it has to offer. I'm not sure who was telling her that America has no dirt roads anymore but as she found out and I, along with many, many more Americans know that is an absolute lie. I feel she could not have picked a more fantastic route to travel north towards Canada, especially in the spring when the contrast in colors is so amazing in every western state! Enjoy Idaho! There is fantastic riding all over that state too!
Yup , a lot more dirt or near dirt road than you can imagine … even in Ohio!!!
Florida has been taken by subdivisions and developments. There are not many dirt roads in the center of the state anymore.
Glad you are enjoying Montana, and Ringing Rocks! The trails for riding there are so fun! Take care, and always enjoy your travels.
I really enjoyed the ride through Montana with you. The scenery was absolutely stunning! Enjoy 😊
Hey Noraly, do you carry a can of bear spray somewhere instantly accessible? The kind of territory you are traveling in creates the possibility of an unintentional face-to-face encounter. Won’t harm the bear and can be very beneficial to your health!
I bet we are not alone. That thought runs up my head every second Noraly is riding tru those forest. Hope she has that can ready, and the pumas , the pumas. Of course ,she travelled around the world with just a flat tire as her biggest problem. And remember , she is a Martian in a human body,therefore , she is protected by a magnetic shield projected from her spaceship. Lol 😂. And yes, she has a husband lover in mars,his name is …Carlos , what a coincidence. We all love you Noraly., you opened our eyes to a world out of this world.
Called 'spray and pray' as opposed to 'shoot and scoot.'.................
sweet. I'm finally caught up to the current videos. I've watched from the beginning through now. you're an inspiration
Noraly, you are so in your element out there riding the dirt roads. Love the whopping and weeeeeee! On those up and down sections. You go girl.
Noraly you go where angels fear to tread. My heart was in my mouth on some of those narrow tracks. You have such good control of Alaska. This was better than the roller coaster. I am truly amazed at the content you provide us. Love every bit of it. The scenery is amazing.God Bless and keep safe.
I feel this is the best dirt roads you ever rode on. Thanks for making us part of your adventures.
There is a place in Pennsylvania that has "ringing rocks" as well. It's awesome, took the kids to play around and climb one time. Such beautiful scenery you are sharing, thank you!
@@tetedur377 we live just outside of Philly. It’s a nice area up your way.
Beautiful route through the Peace Valley, Nice race with that Pronghorn! *fastest land animal in N America* (also called "speed sheep"). Great drone shot from Ringing Rocks of the Tobacco Root mountains in the background. That Homestake pass area she was riding in after the Ringing Rocks are is so damn cool. @16:23......thats my back yard! So cool to know you had to ride past my place to get to this area. @17:13 The Clark Ranch!
Montana, snow capped mounbtains, wide and green river valleys, just beautiful and some great trails to ride, wow - then the drone footage to bring it all together. Thanks Noraly.
One of my favorites from the season so far!!
I just can't believe it. Yet another epic video with the most awesome routes. Even when you take a chance on a trail you hadn't planned you score a huge win. I too am amazed at how many awesome off-road trails there are in America. I also envisaged a highly developed road infrastructure that would offer little "adventure riding" but clearly you are the global authority on finding adventure trails.
interesting so many Americans do not know about the great dirt riding and think its all asphalt out there.
I love watching you especially when you giggle on new discovered trails. Keep riding free.
You nailed it. The U.S.A. is indeed one big playground as all who have the time to explore soon discover. Happy you are enjoying your adventure. Ride Free Noraly!
Love the roads with pine trees on the side, my favorite.
Alaska's new shoes look really, she's ready for more roads like are ready to keep enjoying your new videos, Norally you are great always with a smile on your face.
I can't stand these videos much longer, such a blast it would be. I'm planning on upgrading from my drz to a husqvarna 501 this winter, saving the rest of my money and doing a tour of western canada, seeing my sister in van, riding up north to see my relatives up there, I'm no youtuber but i'd just be great to see some of these places from a bike. drz 400, 250, yamaha xt250 my first on offroad bike ktx 125, xl 80 my first bike at 8. all the fun you can have is on an enduro bike, the J.A.Pan corporation has a great selection. We can see Noraly's skill improve on these trails, its a slow building confidence when you're on dirt, trusting your tires, your bikes response, heck yeah.
The word buffalo is derived from the French “bœuf,” a name given to bison when French fur trappers working in the US in the early 1600s saw the animals. The word bœuf came from what the French knew as true buffalo, animals living in Africa and Asia.
this is correct.
Exactly 👍
If I may; I am a french speaking Quebec resident, and you are true about this word origin but I may add that Buffalo was an english appropriation of the more complete words ''boeuf à l'eau'' (Buf-a-lo) as theses African and Asian animals were called like you mentionned. And yes another interesting historical fact is that most westward US discovery expeditions were lead by French Canadian ''coureurs des bois'' (fur trappers or those who run the woods). : -)
@@patrickperron792 yes there is not quite like Native American words written in English by backwoods Frenchmen :-)
@@wb5plj Lol
Ah Noraly, what a great way to start the day:) Just enough time to watch before heading off to work. A million and a half of us can't be wrong; you're doing what all of us(outdoors/adventure types, anyway) would probably rather be doing! Love it!
Though the terms are often used interchangeably, buffalo and bison are distinct animals. Old World “true” buffalo (Cape buffalo and water buffalo) are native to Africa and Asia. Bison are found in North America and Europe. Both bison and buffalo are in the bovidae family, but the two are not closely related.
That’s right! When I lived in Colorado a gentleman explained to me that they are not the same animal.
Yep
As you are discovering, we do have many wonderful dirt roads, and two tracks every where in the USA. The roads and trails that you rode in this video are calling my name. It Looked like you had a blast riding them. You created another scenic, thrilling, and informative video. Thanks.
You always seem to find interesting routes. Truly a adventurous young lady.
