In this video I depart my camp in the Mendocino National Forest in California. I cross over the Sierra Nevada Mountains via Donner Pass on I-80 east. I pass through an old mining town in Virginia City, Nevada before finding a free camp by Walker Lake. This was a great place to spend a few nights after some extended driving. I cook up some dinner in the camper van and talk about our winter plans.
Thank you for being here.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

Never heard of Virginia City? C’mon now, Brian. The Ponderosa was close enough for Ben Cartwright and the boys to head over there on business and visit Sheriff Coffey. Love your moonshot!

@alchristensen8121 Год назад

And it's on the burning map in the Bonanza opening sequence.

@lesleyhughes3174 Год назад

Brian would have been just a little guy! Not a geriatric like some of us! 👍🧑‍🦳

Thanks for the reminder!

@patrickfort4467 Год назад

You're showing your youth. Anyone who grew up watching Bonanza on tv know Virginia City.

@bpalpha Год назад

Thanks for stopping to check on others. Peace. Happy holidays.

Kind words for kind people 👍

Way to represent the thumb! Love the Bad Axe shirt.

@CaptainGnarkill Год назад

That rainbow is perfect! If it shows up that good on camera it must have been epic in person. Gnarly rollover. Awesome video too!

@TXMEDRGR Год назад

That was a terrifying accident. It was so kind of you to stop and help. I'm sure good karma will reward you down the road. Thanks.

@TheDaubSquad Год назад

I love your videos. So relaxing. So glad you’re able to live your life this way. Hope all is well with you and Kelly. Have a great holiday!

Ain't winter beautiful?! 👍🇨🇦😎❄🎅❄🎄❄🎁❄⭐🔥

@33Jenesis Год назад

It warms my heart to see you finding a sure footing in the life style you choose and finding love and companionship in Kelly. I’ve been watching you for several years, seeing you struggling to get the rig right, to live without chaotic thoughts, and to seek physical and emotional well being. Now look at you! You look at peace and confident. I would say that you are a successful nomad. Stay warm and safe on the road.

@bayside6207 Год назад

Brian is a true real life Nomad unlike some of these on RU-vid that are now buying up home base land.

@ricktrent275 Год назад

Having grown up watching Bonanza every week, the only puzzle I couldn't figure out, was where they filmed an opening shot in a meadow, w/ the lake in the back. Nevada Days is a Blast in Verginia City, Oct 31st. Spent 30 yrs. working in the Casinos, it was only supposed to be a day job LOL.

@RealFableFox Год назад

@@bayside6207 Home base land is important as people grow old, also recent lockdown etc shows that having a safe place is important too. Some people have plans - maybe to do it for 3, 5 or ten years. Even Bob Wells of CheapRVLIving actually give buying home base as an advice. (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JpZm8Jf7t5A.html)

@teresap.5991 Год назад

Finally First. You guys hit the jackpot with this place wow beautiful! Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. May blessings abound! 🌲🎄👍💯💓‼️

@nonewherelistens1906 Год назад

Walker Lake is drying up (dropped 40 feet in the last 70 years) because farms are taking all the water from the Walker River for irrigation, mostly hay for stock animals. The lake can never replenish.

@Breezy2215 Год назад

Sad.

@stevexray6253 Год назад

Valentina hot sauce adds great flavor. Your cooking makes me hungry every time 😜 Stay warm and well! 😁👍

Virginia City. Bonanza!

@janet6268 Год назад

Never heard of Virginia City?! 😳 Have you never seen Bonanza? Summer is when to go. (it's haunted too) There used to be a time when Virginia City actually closed for the winter. We don't get the winters we used to. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

@kenuber4766 Год назад

I live in Carson City, You sure took the hard way around to get to Walker Lake for sure.

@cynthiam3319 Год назад

Love the Bad Axe Tshirt. From a Michiganian, Cynthia ☮

@zichali Год назад

Besides that Bonanza make it famous, it was also favorite hangout for Mark Twain. Has even museum there.

@susanstrickland6774 Год назад

Wow!! That was a beautiful winter wonderland drive. So beautiful. Virginia City wasn't that big when Bonanza was on, lol. Cute small America town. Very cool on the job in the big tent. Usually lots of ppl there. Dinner looked good!! Stay warm. 🙂👍

@donmcgowan2616 Год назад

Hey Brian, Everyone seems to have forgotten that there was/is an excellent John Denver song that speaks of Virginia City in connection the story of Darcy Farrow.

Keys and parrots and learning about Virginia City. IfI'm not mistaken, VC was frequented often by the Cartwrights on Bonanza.

@fairbankspoet Год назад

Keys and parrots lol. 😂 It was a good chuckle. Thanks for the recipe. 😊

@mistermusic140 Год назад

The old western TV show Bonanza was located in Virginia City, Nevada. Hoss and Little Joe went into Virginia City many times.

@RickRose Год назад

I went almost exclusively plant-based nearly a year ago, and Spanish rice has become one of my favorites. Glad you're dialing yours in! You gave me some ideas for some tweaks/experiments.

@daneboro6847 Год назад

@sherrielong6795 Год назад

Maybe go back and check it out during a different time. So that way you can see the shops and everything with your wife. Heck, I would love to see that town, it looks fantastic.

@michaeltablet8577 Год назад

Home means nevada, the sage and the Pine. Always fun to see you go thru here.The silver mined out of the Comstock helped the union win the Civil War. You'll be a great spokesperson for battle born. Merry Christmas

@hopemorrison2367 Год назад

That is a nice little kitchen

@LostOnLandAgain Год назад

That's really a sketchy road. Lots of accidents unfortunately. Love Walker lake. I've camped there a few times on my way to and fro from Lake Tahoe. So sad that it's shrinking! Keys and parrots go super well with chicken and rice. yum!

@patti3566 Год назад

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas and have a safe New Year to both you and Kelly. I've been a subscriber for several years and I just have to say that you appear to be so happy, content and at great peace in your life and it's a beautiful thing to see! It's wonderful to see you living your best life. Peace and take care!

@glamperjan Год назад

I remember watching old Western saying they're going to Virginia City! Glad you discovered! Would love to see you again in Q this winter even if for a day or two.

@bevtrue6937 Год назад

Virginia City is incredibly awesome. Ya gotta go see it. (I guess you are seeing it). Also Lake Tahoe is gorgeous but really only in summer. Wow, your voice really changes when you first wake up in the morning. Pre- coffee. 😁 Yup. Parrots and keys make a lot of racket when you try to cook them. Hahaha.

@MyNeighborsCar Год назад

Bravo on the rice

@deltas4114 Год назад

@doncolincreative Год назад

Another super video! The car in the ditch was an unfortunate inclusion, but adds to sense of the road so perfectly.

@eileenmcloughlin4778 Год назад

Oh, yes if you have ever watched the TV show, Bonanza the "Cartwright's " visit there often as it was the nearest town to there western ranch.

@davemenard5089 Год назад

Yur in sum mighty fine teritory friend. The Keys and parrots are down here in Florida 😂

@johnminnick4041 Год назад

Welcome to northern Nevada! I highly recommend that you take time to visit Virginia City again and look into the many amazing events that take place throughout the year

@joeleanza398 Год назад

Great shirt , my wife and I have a fifth wheel that we keep all year round at a private campground in Port Austin, Michigan not too far from Bad Axe in fact we drive through it to get to our RV. Love watching keep up the amazing videos. Thanks

@dlmac5935 Год назад

Virginia City was made famous by the 60’s television show Bonanza.

@LuckyBaldwin777 Год назад

When I was a kid in the 60s, the water level in Walker Lake was 80 feet higher than it is now and the trout fishing was some of the best anywhere. In the fall, thousands of waterfowl would stop there to rest on their way to Mexico. A natural slice of paradise in the middle of the desert. Now we have a slice of the Salton Sea instead. What did we get in return? Some hay fields around Yerington.

@juliohur4001 Год назад

Growing up watching the Bonanza TV series, they often mentioned going into the local town, Virginia City. Nice video, thanks.

@sylviajones4907 Год назад

Beautiful scenery. I have been thinking of Spanish Beef & Rice. My mom used to make that quite often. I will have to use the chicken as you did. My favorite over beef. Hope you & Kelly have a wonderful Christmas!

@johnwitt586 Год назад

I love your shirt! I'm not far from there! 👍

@darrylk808 Год назад

I was looking at land between the Geiger pass and Virginia City, in tax free NV. It's desert with small pine trees...meh. Do you remember Bonanza on TV? It was that Virginia City. Their ranch was nearby. Also, if you walked around you would have seen a tribute to Mark Twain who worked there. It's a great tourist spot just outside Reno. It's cold to walk around in the winter.😁

@ddostert Год назад

Love the shirt! I'm a michigander! I hunt in Bad Axe

@laudalady61 Год назад

I sure wish I could run across a small pressure cooker like that! Have a great Holiday Brian!

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!!

@ricktrent275 Год назад

Hi Brian, cool Vid. I lived in the Carson City, Lake Tahoe, Virginia City area for 30 yrs., and Nevada Days, Oct. 30th, are a Blast. Hiway 341 is also shut down for a hi speed timed competition, and that's pretty wild. Geiger pass is pronounced with a long I. FYI. RT

Great video and your Spanish Rice definitely beats the store bought. Safe travels and a Merry Christmas to you and Kelly.

@louisag5410 Год назад

Looks delish as per usual…. Maybe you could start a cooking show …lol

@bighoss8518 Год назад

When you get the chance, switch to a Jasmine rice, and it will make any rice dish even better. Safe travels...

@deborah3709 Год назад

Never saw such a small pressure cooker. Got to find one. And that lake, too!

@soonerjhtravels Год назад

Nice! i liked the chicken n rice you made, looked delish!

@bayside6207 Год назад

When I do go camping in my RV I love the sound of rain at night tapping on the rooftop= puts me right to sleep.

@omavicmcmurray2893 Год назад

What a beautiful rig set up! I saw it when you go it and somehow got booted from my subscription…anyway, I am so glad you and Kelly are still journeying through life together, Peace on, and with the Earth!
