A Lonely Dirt Road Just Begging To Be Explored!

[@cotter9751]

Love the way you talk to us - like the best teacher, or a great dad.

[@gonagain]

I try.

[@SamuraiMama]

Thanks for taking us along! I love little shops like that, too.

[@gringo3009]

I wonder where you got that from??? lol.

[@gonagain]

Next time come along with us!

[@bobbihanratty8792]

Thanks for having me along for the ride!!

[@gonagain]

Thanks for coming along. See you on the next one!

[@Joe33305]

Thank you kids, your videos are so entertaining. I’m a 77 year old full timer for the last 5 1/2 years.

[@gonagain]

Then you can relate directly to what your seeing in our videos! Thanks for watching Joe.

[@craigjohnson2771]

As a ex pilot you should be able to fly a done for extra exploring, thanks for the ride 👍

[@marciecaliforniagirl7104]

Nice Rick, thanks for sharing! ♡

[@lindagolden9892]

You two are like the cartoon characters “Yogi Bear and Bubba” just wandering off in the woods enjoying mother nature’s beauty. Make sure to pack along a picnic as they often did. They came immediately to mind when Linda said, “Fancy meeting you here.” 🐻 ❤️ 🐻

[@gonagain]

Thanks for watching Linda and the memory of Yogi Bear and Bubba!

[@nancyst.john-smith3891]

[@redgibson8557]

Look like your knee is better. Thanks for another adventure.

[@gonagain]

Thanks for coming along, Red. We've had compliments on your song, btw.

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Thanks. Quite a view from that climb.

[@gonagain]

Yes it was!

[@gail-sw9xg]

I have a car alarm system on my trailer in addition to good locks.

[@johnholliday6011]

Ya'll guys are great!!!!We really enjoy seeing your adventures

[@SoonerGirlTravels]

“All you can do is do what you can.” That applies to everyday life. Good statement. Quaint downtown

[@sonora108]

My wife and I have been down many of the lonely dirt roads throughout Nevada and many times they take you to wonderful views like here at 11:45 . Many of these ridges just seem to open up to wonderful areas to poke around in, just like Linda and You have shown us so many times. Thanks so much.

[@gonagain]

We're getting ready to head down that-a-way in a couple of weeks. Haven't decided exactly where we're going but we're going!

[@idaholt9775]

Love Your Spirit. We love to explore too. We are never to old to find new things to be amazed at. Thanks for taking us along.

[@gringo3009]

Good stuff! Great advise on the gps and radios. That with water and a side arm and you're all set!

[@gonagain]

Yes, indeed, Gringo.

[@kwajmi79]

(Almost) Always Follow “the road not taken”. You never know what treasures your eyes will fall upon- whether visual or physical. Happy trails to y’all! 🏕 🌞

[@gonagain]

Well said Rebecca, I like that.

[@karenharker2356]

Your videos bring back so many good memories! M we lived in Henderson, Nevada for 20+ years and have been to many of the places that you have been. Almost every weekend we would go rock hounding and just go exploring the deserts of Nevada, and the surrounding states. So many interesting places we found out in the middle of nowhere! Old mining camps, old cars just left behind after the mining was no longer being worked. Petroglyphs, petrographs , old grave stones, and just a lot of neat antiques you can find.

[@aztrails1]

Always enjoy your exploration videos especially in such a unique landscape. Thanks

[@johnduke9894]

Love the video! Keep on, and folks are gonna start thinking y'all do this for a living! That reminds me of a quote I saw on a mountain top cabin shelter, "We don't do this to escape life. We do this so life won't escape us!" Keep up with that knee... God bless you both!

[@gonagain]

Love that quote!

[@stex1985]

I think I see Bigfoot thru the trees, I’ll never forget her performance 😃 thank you!

[@gonagain]

She's always entertaining!

[@bidnow]

Another great video. Thanks.

[@gonagain]

Thank you for watching!

[@thelwell256]

I have watched your videos on locking your cargo trailer years ago and it is nice for the new subscribers to hear this. I really enjoyed the nature walk with Linda and yourself.

[@gonagain]

Thanks Joan!

[@williammccaslin8527]

You are correct its called " PEE- OSHE" according to the people I know that were born an raised here, thx for the vid.

[@terrell48]

When we were young we had spots like that where we went and “watched the sunset”

[@sandrakenney4839]

I appreciate the Spirit of adventure both you and Linda have. ❤

[@gonagain]

Thank you, Sandra.

[@karenharker2356]

On a side note, when we went exploring, we always packed our gear and supplies as if we were expecting to get broke down or stuck! Getting caught off guard in the desert is know Joke and can lead to deadly consequences! Especially in the hot spring and summer months! It’s essential to anyone to have a plan, and to always let someone know in what general area that you are heading. Also a good GPS is also essential, cause after awhile those desert roads can become confusing and begin to look alike.

[@vincenzodemarco7983]

Hello Hello. I Especially Love this type of camping (living) and it's such a good thing that you 'show it' for what it is. Now, another Great Aspect is: Many people Wouldn't Think, of being in such a desolate area because it is Too Sparse. Well Good. That means Wonderful places like this, will Not Become Crowded or even Overwhelmed. Beauty is in the 'eyes of the beholder'. I believe most of us watching your Super-Videos are Pleased that we will Not be Running into any 'Weekend Yahoo's' in these Remote locations. With the Major-Onslaught of Everybody becoming an Off-Road Junkie, I am pleased to know we have Well over a Million Sq. Acres, and Then Some, to Be Alone By Ourselves---!!! PERFECT🤗✌

[@gonagain]

You're right Vincenzo, not many folks want to be out in those places so Perfect!!

[@DanielSanchez-if3ix]

Your knowledge and advice is priceless I know one day I will use all of this great information 👍🏼😊

[@midway241]

You are both folks with great wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless!

[@gonagain]

Thanks for watching!

[@Jay-pc6jx]

Thanks for taking the time to pack your videos with good info and scenery. You kinda remind me of my Father except he is ALL about the fishing. I'm a explorer through and through. Love the channel!

[@gonagain]

Thank you Jay!

Thank you Marty, we appreciate that!

[@eileenallemm1835]

You are so blessed to have each other. I wish I had someone to share an adventure with. It doesn't prevent me from getting out of doors. Just got home from the Oregon coast for a couple days.

[@gonagain]

Glad you are getting out and enjoying places like that. Nice little teardrop in your photo!

[@sasquatch885]

You guys are pretty adventurous.👍🏻

[@gonagain]

We do have some fun!

In the U.K., one of the terms for people who deliberately spoil the environment, is ‘skanks’ ! Great vlog, really enjoy following your adventures, although my favourites are when you become technical, trailer maintenance and improvements etc. Regards AJ

Thank you for telling us that, AJ. Aprreciate your comments.

[@teresaf5480]

😆 Linda..here catch lol Love the video wonderful scenery peaceful makes you wonder what it was like back in the day who traveled those roads would be interesting if you could flash back and see that😉 thanks again for taking us on your journey. I hope your knee is doing better glad to see you moving around on it👍 looking forward to your next video Journey ❤

[@gonagain]

Thanks Teresa! We just got home today and there are a lot of videos coming out on this trip. I'm hobbling along ok but need to see a doctor soon.

[@dougjohnston156]

Thank you so much for all the information you share and the great vistas

[@gonagain]

Our pleasure, Doug!

[@GrannyGamer1]

That's a place to go! I'm not into ATV stuff, but man, that's gold. I watch Matt's recovery channel, so i've learned a LOT about where not to drive! Those folk would love that place. I didn't understand the burnt tree and stuff on the ground. You think arson? If there's no tire tracks, it would be lighting. I'm just about ready to start filming my preparations to go on the road. Today, i tore out the passenger side of my bench seat, to hide my tools. Everything worth stealing goes in the truck or under false floor in trailer.

[@gonagain]

Sounds like you're all set to go!

[@Rail9222]

Thanks for the adventure!

[@fudd6478]

Awesome area... Looks like it would be a lot of fun to explore. :-)

[@gonagain]

There's a never ending supply of those roads to explore too.

[@randyfredricksen5963]

When I see a boulder that size in a location like that you can hardly imagine the size of flood that carried it there...amazing.

[@gonagain]

Great way to look at it! I'll remember that.

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

That is a very pleasant area! Always something to see, observe! My turn next week, Envoy is outta shop. Currently on East Side in N. Ga. So I appreciate the change y'all brought me. Those roads when they call....

[@gonagain]

Its a call thats hard to ignore.

U are right thanks for the information Thank you ,and thank u for the ride with ur great video s.

[@galardmills5306]

Great video! Just my style of wandering. I almost moved to Pioche when I retired. The “no art galleries” was a major attraction! I’ll be driving up that way next week. Thanks to you I’ll drop into Tillie’s!

[@gonagain]

Hi Galard. Pioche just got a new grocery store and I'm afraid it will be running Tillies some competition.. That's a great place to retire except for the distance to medical facilities.

[@Jixton]

Cool places!

[@deansmith9232]

Really love your videos fantastic trips you do!

[@gonagain]

Thank you for coming along, Dean!

[@tpseeker3367]

@Gonagain Please get the tongue hitch Spot Welded on. Bolt on hitches are $25 which negates the $270 Proven Lock. Excellent lock as long as it can't be unbolted off. Then again locks Only work for Honest People. Another great vid as always. Thanks for Sharing

[@gonagain]

Hello TP Seeker! My trailer frame is aluminum, which stops me from doing that, but I did get the nuts on the mounting bolts welded on.

[@tpseeker3367]

Ahhh ok. Good deal @@gonagain. A lot lighter & should last a lot longer. Thanks for sharing your Adventures & Knowledge with us. Looking forward to watching many many more vids.

Thanks for the Ride along Rick. Definitely need trailer locks . Need a deterrent!! In north Central Fl , we are loaded with lizards of different types. Some are 6”to 8” long . They eat a lot of bugs. Thanks

Happy Travels in Nevada!.. my home state. If your coming north be sure to visit Washoe Valley (where I live 😉) State Park and the surrounding area. And don't miss visiting Virginia City! Been watching you guys a couple of years, would love to meet up with you if you're in my area, I'm less than a mile from the State Park.

Hello Laura, thank you for being one of our regulars! We do intend to make it over your way one of these days soon because there's so much to see there.

[@denaredford6701]

Nice slow country town .

[@rreveler6705]

Great video again! Thought you might end with a fade out of the scene where you were stopped on the highway contemplating where the dirt road. “ I wonder where it goes…” then fade. Anyway, as I said good video. I hope your knee gets better. I tore a meniscus myself a few years ago and they didn’t recommend surgery. Looked it up and they don’t like to do that surgery on older folks because of possible complications leaving you more lame than just letting it heal. ( possible arthritis). Got over it after a few months. Take care!🤙

[@gonagain]

Thanks for the input, R Reveler, appreciate it. It's true about the older folks with the complications after surgery.

[@wrbruce6100]

I really enjoyed that video, the view from the top of that hill was great.you and Linda are great explorers, what time of the year do you say, its too hot for me and start seeking cooler places? You two take care and stay safe.

Thanks for watching!

[@lakentrail3277]

Hi Gonagain, Love the videos! could you tell us or shows us more about the cut out in your table for your stove? did you do that yourself? Also the door lock on your trail, cargo or RV type? Thanks,

[@gonagain]

We have it featured in another video. Look for "Our Favorite Little Camp Stove!" and you'll see it. I bought the RV lock on Amazon and installed it.

[@robertphillips93]

Thanks for another glimpse into the outback -- even if it's not so far out that it's immune to spoilage. I suppose one of the things that makes us different from most other animals is our relatively weak instincts. Under ideal circumstances, our moral and ethical principles could fill in the void. But we are not as we should be, so of course the instinctive default is so impoverished that we wind up fouling our own nest and similar shortcomings. The appropriate term for us, alas, can only be "subhuman".

[@thomaslotito380]

Hi Rick, I’m sorry to tell you, despite your security precautions your trailer can easily be stolen. Behind your hitch lock all of your bolts are exposed. If someone were to unbolt your ball hitch lock they could put another one on and tow the trailer away. I hope you change out the bolts for type that cannot be easily removed. Thanks for your videos, I enjoy visiting with you every week. PS, watch a few episodes of the lock picking lawyer. Might help with your security concerns.

[@gonagain]

Hi Thomas. My trailer is aluminum so I couldn't weld the ball hitch to the frame, but I did weld the nuts on the bolts. There's always a way to steal something and that's what I meant by "do what you can". By the way, have you ever tried to pick a lock like the Lock Picking Lawyer does? What looks so easy on YT is just about impossible for the average person. I know because I try it and can never get it done. Now add some dust to the lock internals and some hard position to work in, like down low to the ground, and only a pro could make it work. I originally did a video about this a couple of years ago and boy did I get an education about trailer security from the comments! Some really novel ideas and actual working systems were suggested for travel and storage. Everyone needs to take your suggestion too, thanks!

[@thejefe19]

Thanks for taking us along. I'm curious if you have done any mods to your Yukon for these offroad adventures. It looks like your tires are all terrains have you done anything else?

[@gonagain]

I keep good tires on it and make sure everything is in top shape. The one thing I did was to make a "Trap Door" above the gas tank mounted fuel pump located under the rear seat behind the driver. This is to make replacing the fuel pump something that can be done by myself should the need arise again. I don't carry a spare pump, but at least I can do the job without having to drop the gas tank! They're know to go out now and then...

Too bad people don’t clean up and pick up after themselves! If people don’t pack out what they pack in, we all will loose access to our public lands. Especially in today’s climate where it seems “officials” are quick to close/ restrict access.
