    Love watching your videos. The snow is pretty when I don't have to drive in it. You make it look easy. I admire your driving skills.

    Regarding Floyd Hill, my Colorado history professor in college had great stories about the mining boom, especially early days in Blackhawk, Central City and Georgetown. When the only transportation up to the mining areas was stagecoach and they were overcrowded, the drivers would stop the coach at the bottom of Floyd Hill and tell the passengers they had to get out and walk to the top because the grade was so steep. He'd wait for them at the too and they'd continue on their way. Thanks for taking us along.

    Thanks for the vids! I did those roads in the 80's & 90's and am constantly amazed at all the changes from new construction to road lighting. I-70 was quite dark with just nothing between the then small towns.

    Thanks for the tunnel again Mike. I just think it's neat to drive through it. I've driven through it a few times going to Copper and back in the summer. I've never been west of Vail in reality though so you are letting me see what's west on I-70 via your vids. I've never been to Grand Junction and I've been here since June 3 1958 when we moved from Kearney NE. Thanks for all the trips. I look forward for more trips.

    Hello Mountain Mike! It's been years since I watched the Super Bowl and was excited to watch it with KC Chiefs playing and winning the bowl, well deserved too for the Chiefs.
    Heck buddy, I was in Denver on the 3rd visiting my cousin and if I had known you was coming to get your truck, I would have made arrangements for us to meet up for coffee or a soda; I should've sent you a message too, but didn't think about it at the time; yeah I know, my bad.. LOL
    Anyway, great video as always and thanks for the ride along too! Happy trucking trails, stay safe and peaceeeee!!!!

    Another fantastic ride. I love the snow when you are driving.
    When I drive on the roads the trucks don't drive like you. They cut in front of you , speed up ? I'm in the south might have something to to do with it. Thanks for the ride. Your skills are amazing. God bless, safe travels . Till your next ride.♥️🇺🇸💞✌️

    • @brettcope9752
      @brettcope9752 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dottie Hildebrand They wait until you’re right at that critical point, then swerve in front of you, then magically can’t go any faster than the truck they’re passing. After some miles of this, usually 2 to 5, when traffic is nice and packed together they can magically get around the right hand truck. No... no hills involved. Although it often happens with hills. The key here, is that they are overtaking, then suddenly are not. I’m pretty sure that drivers have a name for this, I’d be curious to hear it.

    When I was a kid my dad knew the head of security at Eisenhower Tunnel. My family got to see how it all worked in the inside way back when. I really doubt it's the same now. In late 70's or early 80's. To long ago to remember. Yet I still remember the inside of it. Kinda boring yet cool. Take care.

    Good to see you are back at it. When was Superbowl? Feb. 2nd? So this is probably Monday, Feb. 3rd??? Anyway, I am still sick. You truckers couldn't be trucking with the cold I had. I gave my husband a nice Valentine's gift....my cold. He came out of his quicker probably because he was on antibiotics after his surgery. I am looking forward to warm days ahead so I can get my garden in. The hills are green now, trees are blooming (probably which caused my cold....hay fever). So spring has sprung. Oh, before I forget....what kind of adjustments does your elog have to do with Idaho stretching out its borders? Now if CA sub-divids too, what a mess.

I don't get it as some rear tires are retreads hence the gators on the road. Just dumb asses I guess.
