America's CREEPIEST town 🇺🇸 |S6-E119| 

An entire lifetime is not enough to discover the Western United States. I have been driving around in this country professionally since 1994, logging over 2 million miles, having my own motorcycle in my trailer so I can go where my big truck cannot go and still.... after all these years, I still can find places all the time where I have never been. Just the sheer size of the US is mind blowing. You are showing me new things every time you upload a video. Super Hero Noraly ❤

So Roger worked 8 days straight and then on his day off cleared the trails around his town. It’s people like Roger that are the backbone of our country. They are everywhere but you don’t know it in our world where we tweet that we went to Starbucks.

Ma'am, I found your lovely channel by accident, looking for outdoors videos. I am a housebound senior who lives in England, thanks to you I have been able to virtually travel the world. I can't thank you enough for giving me freedom. May our Goddess bless and protect you on all your adventures. Peter..

I love how he just shuts his bike off and has a conversation in the middle of the road at the stop sign. We're all missing out on the simple life.✌❤😃

Noraly, you definitely have a crew of biker angels following you around, keeping you safe, secure and protected! 💜👼

It is amazing that Noraly was telling us about the town's history, then encounters a man who just happens to have historic pictures of the town.

Poor old lady was trying to talk so bad. I know you didn’t hear hear. But I felt bad for her. I bet she had some really interesting things to tell about Burke.

Welcome to Wallace, Miss Noraly.. I was at work when you were there as evident from my car being parked at the library when you filling with petrol. My dad worked at the Hecla Star Mine mine for many years. The cone shaped building was for burning, basically a big fireplace. You drove over the Official first proclaimed center of the universe. Again continue to have a safe journey and enjoy life.

That old lady in the car tried at least 20 times to get into the conversation but every time she was cut off. We didn't get to hear her once! LOL

Poor old lady had so much to say but she was just too far away to communicate it effectively!

When i heard my 19 yr old granddaughter in Alberta is leaning to ride (a 250cc street bike) i introduced you to her. I'm encouraging her to plan some trips and v-log them. Thank you. Welcome to Canada

I love meeting people like the first guy, Roger, who cleared the trail to keep it open. I’ve traveled to 16 countries and all 50 US states and it’s always nice to know someone like that

Poor woman in the blue truck was trying so hard to get a word in and just could not.

Oh my Gosh. What are the chances of running into a local with historic photos in his hands. Wow! Noraly, you never cease to make amazing videos!

I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and it’s very amazing that everyone you meet from sketchy road block bandits to random people in the back woods you leave them with genuine smiles and their days are much brighter, Every Country, Village or road stop it’s always the same. It’s inspirational to all , 🙏

What I like most about Noralys Videos? That you can see that people everywhere are kind to each other. And most times the less they have, the bigger their heart is

No one in the world could pull into an interesting old west mining town in the USA with questions on her mind, and randomly meet up with the town historians ... EXCEPT Itchy Boots Noraly !!!! Your ride through the states keeps getting better and better. Another GREAT video !!

That poor old lady was trying to talk the entire time

Great to see ‘small town’ America rather than the regular cities and freeways. Thanks so much Noraly 🇬🇧🇳🇱🇺🇸👍🏼

I really liked when Roger leaned over when Noraly said petrol station. Gas station did the trick.

Noraly you have got to be the only woman to travel from the Netherlands to America for the expressed purpose of riding a motorcycle over 2000 miles on dirt roads, mining trails, and logging trails. Throw in 100° desert heat and summer snow storms just to make it interesting. When you complete your journey please remember the border agent who wanted a selfie, the generous breakfast at Denny's, the railroad engineer, free refills of coffee or soda, and of coarse Rodger with his chainsaw.

Yesterday my 5 years old godson said to me: ”Can we watch that show where this lady drives red motorcycle, I like her” I was so proud. Thank you Noraly for sharing your adventures with us, you really have gave me a new perspective on America! I’m really looking forward seeing what adventures future holds for you! I really hope it would include Finland 😄🇫🇮

I'm lost for words,.. that town was the coolest ever, you are the best Noraly. Big thanks for showing me the real America!!

Roger strikes me as the kind of guy who has an old garage with everything under the sun crammed in it because it all has a use ... and if you are ever in a situation, he will find some random oddball tool or part from the depths of that garage to get you all sorted out. You just know he's that guy! The chainsaw on the back, the toolkit on the front fender... I'm an instant fan! I wondered how he was going to get that 650L past the log without sliding down the hill, but people like Roger always find a way to get where they need to go, and get it done! The timing there was serendipity!

Your Idaho videos are making me so homesick. The mountains of Idaho are calling and I must go! It's been 30 years since I have been there, I am now planning to go back next summer because of this.

I love how Noraly is surprised by the helpful strangers she meets. I figure you get what you give, and she gives so much positive joy and energy, it is bound to come back to her!! As a Canadian, I'm looking forward to the next few episodes in my country!! You Go Girl!!!

I began my Itchy Boots experience with this episode on Oct 2022 and I have not stopped since then watching and re-watching all the seasons' episodes. Let's go Noraly. Thank you for taking this 70year old along with you.

Cooper Pass was still impassable due to snow at least another three weeks after you passed through the area. The up side from all the late moisture (that you unfortunately didn’t get to fully appreciate) was that the forests were especially lush and green through July when they are normally starting to brown out. Thank you for showcasing my neighborhood!

Once again - Noraly’s angels are sending her helpers! It’s incredible.

Welcome to Canada, I came to visit here from The Netherlands in 1991 and I’m still here! If you need a place to overnight in MapleRidge BC we can provide you with a safe place for you and your trusty motorcycle.

Roger's the man. Works 8 days a week and clears trails for fun on his day off.

The trail maker Roger deserves recognition. Thank you for all you do even when no one else is looking. 🙏🏿💚

Honestly would have given that bike guy 10 bucks and told him to get a beer or something. Such a lovely old man and he’s helping out the community too ❤

I live in Vancouver, (not exactly an ugly part of the world), but man I really love those small towns. Welcome to Canada Noraly, I hope our back roads treat you well, and that you find some "Rogers" along the way here if you need them.

I filled my Harley at that gas station, several times in the past few years…. I was hoping you’d find the manhole cover in town, that says “The Center of the Universe!” Wallace is an amazing little mining town. Ride safe, and have fun Itchy!

I just found this channel in my recommendations. My amazing friend Clara would have loved riding with you. She rode all over in the US and rode in South America and was loved by all who met her. She could talk to anyone. Maybe she's one of the angels watching over you. She watched over people in life as well. Sadly she died in Colorado on a ride when a distracted driver hit her from behind at a stop sign. Please stay safe.

The metal cone is a “teepee burner” that was used to burn waste from a lumber mill.

I would have liked to hear from the old lady in the truck at the mine but the poor gal couldn’t get a word in edgewise with all that guy had to say. He was interesting but she was THERE when it was open! Oh well, another great ride! Thanks Noraly!

@5:46 that house with the garage was my husband's house that he lived in when we met (15 years ago). We fixed it up and built that garage. We also fixed up the house next door just before it (not shown) and sold both and moved up near Sandpoint where we currently live. Burke is an interesting place to live. It has changed a lot since we lived there, only 1 left of the original people that were there when I met him. Lots of snow in the winter and short summers! A totally wild unique place to live!

So interesting to learn the history of the little one street mining town. Also super that you have your new winter gear. Roger was once again a great help, as he said, your meeting was fortuitous with added advice on routes!! Looking forward to Canada!

Ride safe always Noraly. May the guardian angels watch over you wherever you may. Thank you for showing us the world through your rides!

I am thankful for the geography lessons I am receiving from Noraly. All I ever knew about the USA was from Hollywood movies and Westerns. In truth, that continent is truly awesome and packed with interesting places of infinite diversity and wonderful people.

It's the Rogers of this world with their volunteer works (oft times self-appointed) that makes the lesser known parts of the world stay functional. Thank you, Roger for keeping our Noraly moving ! Really fortuitous and really awesome

Small town, back country Americans are the loveliest people you will find anywhere. So warm, friendly and engaging.

I just watched the ride thru Wallace and with all the US Flags on the streets, the Corner of 6th St and Cedar St had the kiddy bounce house, this episode was 4th of July weekend.

that conical rusty structure you saw was a beehive burner…there was a sawmill there at at one time, this is where the slabs , trimmings, and waste were burned

Wow the luck of meeting up with those two locals just happening to have a history lesson!

Noraly, you definitely have the tenacity and perseverance to continue even in the worst situations. Always with a smile finding something positive to say about. You really have a guardian angel looking over you, you deserve it. Not many people will even think on attempting this adventure.

I Loved this episode... the interaction with the locals... was awesome too...I don't think anyone else shows such towns anymore. Loving it!

I loved seeing what was in your parcels. You share in a unique way. It is like I'm with you. You really know how to narrate your rides with the history and geology of the places you visit. And then you tell us what is in your parcels and show us. I love your videos and wait on pins and needles for each new episode. You explore and educate. Thanks.

Its refreshing to see little old towns like Wallace that are kept up and taken care. So many small towns like that just turn into shambles.

You know that Wallace must be a laid back town,when you pull up to a stop sign and shut your bike off and have a chat, ha,ha. Glad Rev-It sent you that gear,must feel a bit like Christmas.Thanks for the video, take care.

How the HECK do you just find someone with a chainsaw the exact moment you need them? THEN, when you want to know more about the town "Oh hey let's talk to these people!" and they're both historians for the town including one who published a book about it. Hanging out. Waiting to answer all your questions. LOL!

I always wish there was some way to look back in time and see how people dressed, and acted and worked, not just here but everywhere. I hated history in high school, but the older I get the more I want to learn.

40 years ago on my honeymoon we took a Goldwing from Colorado to Alaska. We also stopped in Sandpoint. I am very excited to do the rest of this journey with you to see if you do any of the same roads ( of course we did not do trails, but back then there were few asphalt roads from here on out either) and see how it might have changed. Safe Travels~ love your videos!

Roger, did you know that you were in the presence of a queen? Seriously, thank you for paying it forward. You are a cool dude.

I feel kind of bad for the lady in the blue pickup. She seems to have lived there for a lot longer than the guy from San Diego but she couldn't get a word in.

One thing we learn from your vids....there are good people everywhere...safe travels sister....RIDE ON

Just love the little history lessons along with the giggles and geology trivia. BEST content on RU-vid. Stay happy and safe Noraly !

You are such a beautiful person. Makes me happy you get along so well. It's just amazing and pleasurable watching you along your journey

It is amazing how people show up to help you in what could be real tight spots. I think you do have a guardian angel looking out for you.

Another really interesting episode. Burke was definitley a bit creepy but the locals seemed freindly enough but then you do seem to bring out the best in people. What were the chances of meeting two local historians who happened to have photos of what you were just talking about? Great timing again Norally.

Welcome to Idaho!!! I've been an Idaho native my whole life. Fantastic place to live. It's crazy how different northern and southern Idaho are, but they each have their own treasures to show! Hope you had a great time. Nice video!

That brown teepee structure adjacent to the old train tracks is called a wigwam or beehive burner. Decades ago, the logging companies burned excess waste wood such as sawdust in those structures. The companies now use the waste wood products to manufacture particle board. Wigwam burners were big polluters in the 60's and 70's and are prohibited in most states now.

The lady in the blue pickup could not get a word in. Great video Noraly.

For those who don't know, Wallace, Idaho is one of the filming locations for Dante's Peak. It's mainly used for the town shots

I love, love, love your videos, and have been for more than a year. Your adventures are fantastic, and it’s an extra treat to see you here in the U.S. As I’ve probably said a couple of times previously, please don’t hesitate to make your videos longer. They seem to pass too quickly. There’s no such thing as too much Noraly adventure.

Good old Roger, the world is filled with incredible people when we travel. And sometimes I truly believe that we manifest exactly what we need and want, especially when we our in sync with life, perhaps that’s a good example. Noraly you are a good example of someone in sync you are very content in who you are, with your passion, enthusiasm for what you’re doing and the people that you meet. Thank you again for what you do, and I love being invited to your adventures. ❤️🙏🏼

Hola Noraly, aca en Colombia, cerca a Bogotá, tambien hay un pueblo fantasma,era una fabrica ee cemento y da la casualidad que tambien era una mina. Tambien cerro en los 90's.

Its best to talk to the locals, not only about the road conditions and destinations but also about the local history of the area. It adds to the joy of traveling and the overall trip to the final destination, Alaska. Take care and stay safe, Alaska or Bust !!

Are you sure you haven’t somehow been sucked into an adventure video game? “Find the guy with the chainsaw to get out of the forest.” And “Talk to the guy with the map to get out of the ghost town”.

Roger is the man who saved the day! With the new gear Noraly is warming up for Canada and Alaska. It was very nice of the hotel to receive the much needed parcels.

Thanks again Noraly for taking us along on your fantastic journey, on roads most of us would never get the opportunity to 👀

Roger's the Man! All things work together for good...! 😎

Ik heb de laarzen die een voorloper waren van de jouwe. De boa sluiting is fanstastisch!!! Het sluit helmaal ronde de voet en de kuit aan, Daar kan geen rits tegenop

I'm so excited to know you are in Canada now!!! Im a huge fan talking to everyone about you. I ride as passenger on our 1200RT and may get my motorcycle licence for my 60 th birthday next year thanks to you! Im so inspired and looooove riding along with you. (Born in France living in Quebec, Canada for 52 yrs.)

You are giving me and my husband great ideas for our retirement in a few years. You are so brave and such an inspiration for living life to the fullest!! Safe travels always!! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures

The rusty Wig Wam (American Indian style tent) you did not know about was a fireplace of sorts where the wood mills burned excess and unmarketable sawdust and tree bark. They were quite a sight at night because the entire steel structure would glow red hot from the heat and plenty of sparks would blow with the wind creating quite a fireworks-type display. They were sometimes referred to as "Beehive Burners".

I was so happy to discover your channel! Noraly, you are a wonderful person!.. Brave, joyful woman, full of hope and many other virtues that make you a magnificent person! Thanks! ✌️🇧🇷🌹

Ben was very cool! Along with the incredible Roger! Love your new rider gear! I am sure you will need it as you go through Canada heading to Alaska! I hope you continue to have good luck through the rest of your trip! Very fun adventure today! Thank you Noraly!😊

This is where I was born, Love Wallace. My daddy was a miner at the mine in Burke and they used to live up there before I was born. This was super fun to watch!

Will Roger be the first employee of Itchy Boots Inc? He earned his pay!

Crazy to roll up to a guy on the street who has a handful of old photographs ready to go and happy to talk all about the towns history. Amazing episode Noraly.

Just saw a video on the Tiger Hotel, in Burke Idaho. Got some photos from back in the 1920's. Looks like some of the Hotel's ground structure is seen in Noraly's video. Also mentioned was the creek was rerouted then after the hotel was cleared the creek was routed back to original route. Interesting none the less. I wasn't looking for it, it just popped up, 9 years old.

Poor lady, they never let her speak. but nice video

So far, I love all your rides in the US. I can't wait for you to go to the Canadian side to see the spectacular snow capped mountain views. The best rides is yet to come.

I love how quaint and clean these smaller towns are in Idaho. I was thinking of your Guardian angel too Noraly. Someone is hearing us as we ask for your safe passage. ❤❤❤ Thank you Noraly

I would guess that at 7:31 where the pilings were sticking out of the hillside is where the old Hotel was. At 9:02, the rusted cone you see is an old Wigwam Sawdust Burner. Used to burn excess sawdust from mills. Thank you very much for another great video! Safe travels!

Noraly, those small towns were so clean and neat. Civic pride is alive and well in America. Thanks for your fabulous recordings. ♥️

Born and raised in this area!! So crazy to stumble upon this video on my feed. Wallace and the whole Silver Valley has SO much history. It was great growing up here-there was always stories to be heard and places to explore. And of course, people like Roger is what makes our hometown so great! ❤

Such a great story to go along with a great ride. This place would make a perfect movie set.

Interstate 90 connects Boston and Seattle. It is the longest Interstate highway in the US and was completed during the 1970s--except from one short stretch through the very narrow canyon at Wallace. It was a very difficult area to build through so that all the traffic routed down the steep slopes and through the town's streets. Wallace's one traffic signal was the only red light that you would encounter from coast to coast. The people of Wallace loved it as the mines had all closed and serving the traffic was all that was left. So they fought tooth and nail to keep Idaho from finishing the highway but in the early 1990s the inevitable happened and Wallace was bypassed. So the citizens of the town gathered to take down the last remaining traffic light, a carpenter built a coffin for it, and a solemn march of pallbearers held a funeral service for it. Today it rests in the town museum.

I live in Wallace, 5 to 10 mins away from that Burke location. You drove right by my house and I saw my neighbor on the corner. So bizarre! You were there during Gyro days (saw the Carnival) and passed the Center of the Universe. Glad you got to visit, the Silver Valley is a kick in the pants!

Your videos are great. the adventures you encounter. Yes, it was amazing that Roger was there. Angels looking out for you I agree, keep safe and keep the adventures coming!

We all need to be more like Roger! what a legend!

for many years, there was actually a stop light on I-90 in Wallace - the only traffic light in the US Interstate System. I remember this from the Grayhound bus trips I used to take between Missoula and Seattle. They finally removed it in 1991 and apparently, put it in its own coffin that now resides at the mining museum they have

Noraly, you met some kind, helpful folks in the US and rode through some awesome landscapes. Come back soon.

You never know what you'll find out when you ride through these small towns. Small town stories with new friends make the best memories. Keep ridin Noraly. 🏍

Noraly know that many thousands of people watch and send you best wishes for a safe adventure. Thoughts, words and actions don't disappear into a void, rather the intention can be channeled; received, felt and acted upon by random relevant people, like Roger and all the others who help you along the way. Blessings ♥

This journey is a blessed journey, I think so. Now you'll be riding warmly through Canada with the new gears, lets hope your leg gets better and fine through the snows of Canada with the new riding boots. Its nice to see your happy face.
