Salt, just like a Michigan highway in winter time! ⛸️

Hey,Hey, It's our RVerTV Russ on the Salt Flats .Thanks for the Ride along with you today.👍

@ianmcpherson2301 Год назад

A great movie about a fellow Kiwi that ran there way back in the 1960's. The Worlds Fastest Indian. I have seen the actual bike used by Herbert James "Burt" Munro which is in a display in his home town, Invercargill, New Zealand.

@theresaleek7750 Год назад

I was watching you talk about Salt Flats & just had this butterfly feeling in my gut, realized how OLD our earth is. Salt Flats has problems too?? Hmm. Wispy clouds there. Ft Worth TX had 116 million years old dinosaur tracks was on NEWS a few days ago. We take so much for granted and we are unappreciative. Russ, your videos make me think. These may land in DC's Hall of Record's one day. You've recorded so many beautiful things. ❤️👍 A living history.

The expanse of the west desert in Utah is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

@johnjordan1357 Год назад

Russ, Years ago my wife and I flew to Wendover with another couple. While there we took a tour out to the salt flats. Very interesting, we were at the location of the area where they do the races and land speed record attempts. At that time if one were to rent a car there was an additional $35.00 fee for cleaning the car. When we got back to our hotel, you could follow our footsteps back to our room from the salt on our shoes.

@jessehernandez743 Год назад

Hey Russ, thank you for stopping. Our country is just beautiful and magnificent!

@prophetmargin7497 Год назад

Looks like a giant glacier you see up in the Rockies, it was Greg Breedlove that broke the land speed record there back in the early 1960's!

@70chevs Год назад

The race still happens, unfortunately this year it was cancelled due to unexpected heavy rain. It was to have begun on August 6.

@1hasbeen531 Год назад

Speedweek was originally scheduled 8/6-8/13.

@kerryjacobson5465 Год назад

Living in northern Utah, I've been out there a hundred times! Another interesting site(s) is Danger Cave and Jukebox Cave! The latter, Military Personnel had dances in it, during WWII! They poured a concrete slab in it, so they would have a floor to dance on! It's blocked from entry now, but I got into it, before they did! Lots of things to see out there!

@foxiedogitchypaws7141 Год назад

Kerry Jacobson, you are our official tour guide 🛣️😃🦊

@nameredacted7955 Год назад

I was raised in Wendover in the 1950's. I have always had fond memories of it and the Salt Flats.

@clubmike2910 Год назад

I am sure glad Russ stopped there, now I don't have to, I am checking it off my list also. My old truck has enough rust on it already.

@stephenbrown3763 Год назад

Hey Russ!!! "GET THE BEAST" up to "SPEED" on the "FLATS"!!! Be Safe!!!

@steveshortridge6255 Год назад

I'm so glad you stopped by the flats russ it brought back memories of my dad god rest his soul an I when we were there in 1991 for speed week it's a week I'll never forget we stayed in wendover too thanks for taking me along for the ride

@nickkatknight Год назад

The museum in Wendover is a must see. It's not big, but some really cool old photos of salt flats etc.

@desertrose9499 Год назад

Very cool! Never been there. Thanks Russ! What a gorgeous view from restroom area 🚻 Wow....thanks for taking is along! Safe travels!

@onrycodger Год назад

Awesome drone coverage! I love it, I'm glad you stopped there too. Simply amazing.😊😎👍

@byronleatham1183 Год назад

I've been to the bottle salt flats during speed week well it's actually speeding months usually about 2 months but it's the most awesome awesome thing to see anything imaginable has been on the salt flat trying to see how fast it can go I watched one guy set or a wind speed record with a Honda 50 he went 48 mph and other things it's just awesome you got to be there to believe it it's just incredible and I've seen it under a foot of water before yeah it doesn't happen every year sometimes it floods sometimes it's dry but it's hot and always wash your car before you leave stay out of the casinos I never want a a dime in my whole life

@lindahoudek9855 Год назад

Thanks Russ for producing such great videos and I will keep watching!

@WBJ1942 Год назад

It was too wet to have speed week this year.

@shiftintohigh5564 Год назад

Well, apparently its not Speed Week? I remember what you do, Russ. Wide world of Sports. Chris Ekonomaki, Rune Arlidge. Art Arfons the green monster, Craig Breedlove... The Spirit of America. The Goldenrod, The Summers Brothers. And all the homemade Hotrods. Very cool! Thanks for the ride👍👍😎🇺🇸

@FlourishingLove Год назад

This is such a cool place! I clearly don't get out enough. I had no idea that such an interesting place was there. God's handy work is amazing!

@BlazingLaser Год назад

This year they could set speed records for boats! 8^) Thanks for the ride, Russ.

@WaskiSquirrel Год назад

I couldn't believe that guy driving out there in a new vehicle. It would be another thing to take my 22-year-old Camry out there: it has outlived all expectations! Of course, I still wouldn't do it. I'm glad you showed this. I've always wanted to see this spot. When the elderly Camry gets replaced, I plan to visit these places.

@okiejammer2736 Год назад

Thanks for stopping here, Russ. Another great video! Southwestern 🇺🇸 is having issues ... for sure. Mead. Powell. The not-so-Great Salt Lake, the mighty Colorado... It is interesting, tragic... and yet a sad privilege that we're witnessing this History-in-the-making through your lens. Thank you.

@stephbrandenburg9957 Год назад

That drone really knocks my socks off… can see everything ! Thanks again Russ!

@yawndave Год назад

Looking forward to seeing your visit the Wendover Airbase. I was there a few years ago and it seemed like there was some restoration work planned but the funding was in question. I think some of the barracks buildings were destroyed in a fire recently. Hopefully they can save the remaining buildings so people can appreciate the history that happened there.

@flexjay87 Год назад

Man, you have done some serious driving this month, Sturgis to Salt Lake !

@bennetts-revenge_2 Год назад

So many memories for me.

@ballpickerinparadise3481 Год назад

Thank you Russ, for sharing thru your eyes and Lense, the beauty of the Bonneville Salt Flats. Some of us will never get there in person. Keep on truckin sir.

@sherryware Год назад

I drove from New Orleans to the Canadian border north of Seattle years ago way before Google Maps with only a large Rand McNally book of maps. Only got lost once in Lubbock Texas. I was singing the lyrics "Happiness is Lubbock, Texas in my rear view mirror." when I finally figured my way out. LOL. I enjoy your videos, Russ. Thanks.

@foxiedogitchypaws7141 Год назад

Sherry, I love Lubbock. I was there 5 years ago, as far as I got with fur kid and credit card, it's easy as I noticed it was like a big square. Stayed for 4 night's. Went to one of their grocery stores and it was like a smorgasbord of food, anything and everything you would want to try. 🛣️🤗🦊

@jaredkyle5987 Год назад

Russ your the salt of the earth! No pun intended….

@annsayger5842 Год назад

Very nice Russ. I've never been to Utah. Appreciate you doing all the driving. Safe travels.

@jtrojan Год назад

I completely enjoy your videos. I've been to numerous locations in Western states that you have visted. Learning to appreciate the geographic diversity that exists in AZ.

@richardbeee Год назад

Years ago they use to call that "Pulling a Peter". It looks like your walking on water:-)

@dorisbuchmann4164 Год назад

Another informative tour. Looks different than I thought it would be. Thanks for your drone views !

@ksr1177 Год назад

Another great video and drone coverage. Will be going to Utah in October will definitely go check out Bonneville salt flats and the railroad place. I was differently surprised to see that much water was there. 👍 Keep the videos coming. Be safe out there with those monsoon storms.

@KAW5 Год назад

Thanks for this recommendation too! We really thought it was cool!! We had great weather too!

@alejack12001 Год назад

Great video and photography at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Your camera drone really gives a very clear picture of the flats and water. Lot more water than the Great Salt Lake. As you said , it's sad about the Great Salt Lake. Heard a rumor that someone was suggesting that a pipe line be built from the Pacific Ocean to replenish the Great Salt Lake. However, I don't think that idea went anywhere. Thanks for taking the videos and the visits to these historical places. It was very educational.

@Tom-xp7dl Год назад

Ive never seen so much water at the salt flats and yet the Great salt lake is dried up. Maybe the earth is tilted! LOL. Thats always been one of my favorite places, because it is so different from Texas and the southeast. Great video.

@fallriverns Год назад

Thanks for the tour. Fun following you on Google maps.

@yawndave Год назад

Wow, it's sort of surreal driving out on that road in the middle of all the water. And speaking of surreal, for Sci-fi movie fans the flats are where Buckaroo Banzai veered off his speed run and crossed over into the 8th Dimension. 👽

@otisjackson3542 Год назад

Thanks so much for adding the map insert showing where u are heading. It means a lot.

@TGIFunday Год назад

WoW!! What A Neat place! I love salt!! Lol! 🧂👋🙂

@seanveach950 Год назад

We walked out into the Salt Lake further than those ppl were at. Fun place. Thanks for the vids!

@eileencarman9752 Год назад

Once went across the Great Salt Lake Dessert and to the North was a Morton's salt plant.

@dhackens Год назад

I'm also a drone pilot I enjoy your drone videos

@martyrose Год назад

Hi Russ! 🙋‍♀️ It does look like snow. Flat, flat snow. I remember the darts with parachutes on TV. Bonneville Salt Flats always makes me chuckle because when I was a kid I bought 2 albums from the junk bin. They were just recordings of engine noise. LOL! 🥴 Stay safe out there guy!

@dennisl7236 Год назад

Thanks for the tour, Russ

@larryjohnson6398 Год назад

Brings back a lot of memories for us I remember going there racing trying to set records with semis and motorcycles oh yeah I was into it not So Much Anymore slowed life down a lot but great video buddy be safe

@alexandershatzko8748 Год назад

WE been to the Casino in Wendover

@MidwestMamasAdventures Год назад

My ex boyfriends mom used to live in Tooela county. Salt everywhere there too.

@susanstrickland6774 Год назад

Great drone footage. So many types of topography in this country, amazing; and all beautiful. I would definitely get a carwash after being there. Ty for the ride along. 🙂👍

@carloswheeldon2553 Год назад

What your looking at there is the saldurro loop! The salt flats proper is on the other side of the dirt berm you can see in the distance!

@KAW5 Год назад

Love all of your videos! Thanks for sharing!

@shanemacintyre3200 Год назад

Cool thanks for the ride !

@GUNSLINGEROUTDOORS Год назад

I can see the rust on those cars from here in Wisconsin

@xstanadu Год назад

Another Awesome Trip and very interesting . I’ve flown into SLC and been in the city , but never ventured out to see things like this ( I was with the airlines and on a layover you could only do so much ) My bucket list grows longer w/ your travels , SIR ! thank you for great videos and drone shots ! ⭐️

@KubotaManDan Год назад

I read a news clip that said the Great Salt Lake was going to receive sea water pumped into it. Great video thanks for fulfilling my dreams for me.

@ckstaff Год назад

How ironic would that be? In the 80's they put pumps in to pump the water out into the salt flats on the west side of the lake because it was so full it was threatening reaching Salt Lake International airport. The rebuilt Salt Air pavilion was flooded out and unused for years. Now it looks like a strange looking structure out in the middle of a dust bowl. Glad I had no money invested in that project.

@stephend.mixell2042 Год назад

Hey Russ, another nice video. A saw a piece on the flats people went out to do tests and they were packing up in a ft of water and heading home. The fellow said will be back next year. Keep on truck in and i will keep on watching. By the way I got your sticker, and it is on the back of my SUV. Very cool. Later Russ.

@nameredacted7955 Год назад

I went out for speedweek but it was rained out the first day, rained all the way out from Salt Lake actually, so I went and camped up in the hills because the "Bend" where everybody camps was under water and dozens and dozens of trailers and motorhomes were stuck trying to get out, all those tracks that you saw in the mud was the result, but that night there was a horrendous thunder and rain storm and the next morning the flats were flooded and SCTA cancelled the event, so I went home, a lot of people were still stuck as I left.

@nancycain4434 Год назад

That place is cool, great drone video.

@shirleysmith635 Год назад

I'm so glad I subscribed truly love those amazing places you take us keep it coming fantastic drone footage NICE 🤗 some of these places I've never been to, thanks for sharing your videos.

@lindakent6804 Год назад

Always enjoy your videos

@morganborrowman1650 Год назад

I have been there twice for the time trials. All that water dries up by August and you go about a mile out to the start line. Pits are another mile and a half out. When dry the salt is hard and it is graded to be flat for the time trials. I believe there is another time trials later in the year that I haven't been down to. Lots of people camp on the mud flats along the access road during the trials. I camped at the KOA in Wendover so I had air conditioning in my trailer.

@walterbright1396 Год назад

Nice video. I work with a motorcycle racer and official at this years event and knew it was cancelled due to rain and flooding. Would love to try next year to be there for speed week myself. While there is no official “Motorhome” category, it might be interesting to see what the top speed of your rig is. Who knows, maybe you could set an unofficial speed record for RVs or just have a little fun.

@mark_osborne Год назад

Thanks Russ !

@supersami7748 Год назад

They still have speed week it got rained out this year. A friend had spent the last year and a ton of money to make one more try for his class record, I guess there’s always next year.

@larrymiller8210 Год назад

Thanks Russ! Enjoyed!

@bella56787 Год назад

@michaeldane197 Год назад

Look like a ocean of salt there at the Bonneville Flats.

@darlenestout7548 Год назад

Awesome

@brianbuchanan2414 Год назад

Well done, thank you

@tommanion5504 Год назад

Gee! Not one glimpse of the "Tree of Utah", the 85' sculpture 16 miles east of the rest area. I must have 30 pics of that thing! The salt flats and the Great Salt Lake are all that remains of the prehistoric Lake Bonneville. To give an idea how big that lake was, there good shots of the prehistoric shorelines at 8:20. Enjoying the drive around Utah. Stay safe.

@richardl.7390 Год назад

Thanks for showing us the Bonneville Salt Flats. I drove US Rte 50 in Nevada to Utah but never took Interstate 80 along the salt fields. Glad I could see them in your interesting video. Great place to make a vehicule rust ... We live in the "Rust Belt" up North with our 6-month winters and plenty of road salt. RICHARD

@wyoodrifter1811 Год назад

Russ thinking you should check out Burning Man .

@michaela.chmieloski3196 Год назад

13:02 "Soft Mud, Stay Out". Russ, you know if you tell people not to do something that the overwhelming majority are going to do it.

@birdvalystuff Год назад

I think this was about best video of this area I seen. I didn't realize I-80 run through there. I don't like all that salt being on I-80. I think I'd rent car at airport for day and see it that way. If person was going on, then need your traveling rig. And car wash or rain wet roads splashing under it.

@pauladams7344 Год назад

Wendover was where Col James Doolittle trained his B25 Bombing Crews to bomb Tokyo in 1942. A very big deal at the time.

@kathleenporter2235 Год назад

Cool 😎

@OleGeezerCirca1941 Год назад

great video😁👌

@WBJ1942 Год назад

You just missed Speed Week. It was the first week in August.

BIG WATER..USFRA I THINK CANCELLED ALSO..STAY WELL

@stephaniepersin4145 Год назад

What window cam do you use?

@kimberlyshalaby1134 Год назад

🙋‍Hello Russ! I've never seen anything like this. Very interesting area. Even stop to take a photo shoots(?). Is this the salt they use on our roads in the winter? 👍

@kenreilly5308 Год назад

It is still very active but was canceld this year because the flats were flooded.

@standingmannequin7911 Год назад

I think I would like Salt Lake City. It's one of the top three booming economies since the plannedemic. It's funny because all the travel channels avoid it.

@foxiedogitchypaws7141 Год назад

Planning is very important otherwise Brandon wouldn't have enough? 🤗😅🦊
