Other than just a couple of similar overlanding channels, yours puts all the others to shame. Your background as an educator really shines through on your videos.

@andrewhall36 Год назад

Thank you for highlighting my state’s history, Colorado is still a huge mining hub. Even a lot of smaller mines and quarries, like the the ones I work in, can make money. Still though, it’s incredible to see how much mines do for their surrounding towns. They’re a very large source of jobs, but now it’s very difficult for us to find workers, and that may end up putting some smaller companies out of business. It’s easy to see why there are so many abandoned mines and towns nearby when you work in the industry.

Not typically an emotional person but something about ghost towns in the mountains is just overwhelming to me… you’ve inspired me to get out there some day soon and see the towns for myself. Thank you.

@albertowen1025 2 года назад

Beautiful video! When I was in undergraduate school at UC-Boulder, me and my then wife took several trips to many ghost towns in the state as well. We loved Central City, Black Hawk, Ames, Arrow, the old city around Canon City, Silverton, Ouray, and so many others. I hope to go exploring again soon, but with COVD and gas prices skyrocketing, I don't think I'll ever get back....but this video brings back great memories of the spring/summer of 1993. THANK YOU SO MUCH for bringing them back to life!

You people are ru adventurers! Fantastic video! My Dad was military, we lived in Colorado Springs and Ft Carson , mid 1950’s año later late 50’s . Dad would have Mom pack a picnic, and we would go “exploring” on old roads up in the Rockies. It gave me a healthy respect for weather, scary roads, animals, water., rocks, trees. Even the “good” roads were narrow, twisty, rail less, and sometimes peppered with boulders. My Mom, a realist, read every newspaper article about children getting lost in the woods, drug off by bears, people encountering cougars, and we saw cars that had tumbled hundreds of feet down gulches and ravines. This video brings back memories!

Great, well-shot, edited, and narrated content, plus your lack of hyperbole and brotastic attitude is very refreshing. You come across as very likable and humble but still knowledgeable.

@grampabadger 10 месяцев назад

For the most part, most 4 wheel drive roads in Colorado, at least those above 10,000 feet, stay closed well into summer and many are not plowed, so you wait for the snow to melt or you don't go at all. Except for a couple of extreme roads, most routes don't require real four wheel drive, but it comes in handy during the spring thaw and a reasonable ground clearance is usually desired. I've done many of the popular routes in a street stock Subaru, but we generally wait until late July and August, or go in September before the snow flies.

@lostarrowoverland4067 3 года назад

Once again very nice work. I though I'd mention we thought of you folks the other day. While down in New Mexico we drove into a hell of a hail storm. Nothing to be done about it we pull off the main road and waited the storm out. When the sky cleared we climbed out to assess the damage and the sweet smell of sage was overwhelming. I had remembered in a previous video you mentioned how much you enjoyed the scent of Utah sage. Said to my wife I wish I could bottle this and send it your way. We could have skipped the hail but them we wouldn't have slowed down to enjoy nature's gift. Thanks for all the hard work. Safe travels ...

@RevereOverland 3 года назад

That's awesome! The smell of sage is great, and something we just don't get in Kentucky.

@Schruef Год назад

@lisagurian814 2 года назад

wow very cool! liked seeing the roads to see what kind of vehicle might be needed to go. Surprised to find some of those back roads even plowed of snow. Loved this and the very nice drone work.

@BWhatEverTV 2 года назад

The area does look well maintained.

@danb.709 Год назад

It's not well maintained its plowed once a year in the spring, right when this video was shot. Many roads in the area are 4wd jeep trails some requiring a heavily modified offroad vehicle, if you get in trouble help could be costly and take hours to get to you, if you can even get a call out. Some of the roads are milder, but the area in general is pretty serious, good planning and a bit of experience are needed, and a real truck or suv for most of it, a crossover suv minivan thing is asking for trouble, also most rental companies forbid it. There are like a thousand little roads similar to this in Colorado, some are fine for cars and some are incredibly dangerous for any vehicle, people underestimating them is becoming a real problem, just know before you go what you're getting into.
