Thanks, always keen to learn more about the Land of Enchantment. You're a great navigator.

[@dobiedude7479]

As I’ve said before I really enjoy the scenery. I have been traveling those roads for decades. Your commentary is good too. Maybe I learn something. I am always having a conversation with my dog. She is funny. Left turn signal mean nothing. Right signal means that we might be stopping.

Hey Mike at 39:00 at exit 339 you met one of our trucks getting off south bound to take Hiway 84 south. TSC truck from Greeley,Colo. Thought that was pretty cool. First time that I ever saw one of our trucks in one of your videos.

Purple mountain majesty! Drive safe, buckle up. 19:04, trees again

[@bonnieandpaulnorris5690]

About a year late but those folks by the toad were picking pine nuts. Those nuts are also known as Piñon nuts.

[@davidtosh7200]

This trip does start on I-25, just north of I-40 in Albuquerque New Mexico and Enroute to Denver Colorado for delivery. There are LED street lights along I-25 in both New Mexico and Colorado which was installed several years ago, and it replaced Sodium Vapor Lamps with cut off lighting fixtures to cut down on light pollution.

[@Thorano]

Starting point is 4321 Yale Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87107

MMMike: ¿Marty Robbins was that Singer abt El Paso! He grew up a poor boy just east of Phoenix, in Az! He was quite the singer/entertainer in his day! " Out in the West Texas Town of El Paso, I fell in Love with a Mexican Girl, Nighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina where Felina would whirl"! " "A Big Iron on his Hip" Thanks for wonderful day & ride! Be Safe! Peace!

[@marcgonzales7356]

Those people that are stopped on the side of the road are picking pinon, I used to live in that area. It's part of the culture there.

[@maryedunkin9839]

Picking pinion nuts....they have to to it under pinion pine trees. Pecos is gorgeous.

[@nmelkhunter1]

They are picking Piñon nuts. For safety reasons it’s illegal to loiter in the median or stop along the shoulder unless there’s an emergency or breakdown.

[@danielhiggins4331]

I LOVE YOUR DRIVING SKILLS ... YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER/INSTRUCTOR ... KEEP UP YOUR WORK ... AND BTW WWG1WGA!!

[@danielhiggins4331]

MUSHROOMS, DUDE!! AND POSSIBLY PIGNOLI ... PINE NUTS!

[@maggardyful]

Got me laughing good! Wondering what they were doing?

Yes pinon pine nuts as well

[@rashinn2012]

Mike, thanks again for the rides & videos. I really enjoy them. By the way, I agree with your political views. Richard

[@OdySlim]

My Buddy, Mountain Man Mike! Good to see you today. About those beggars . They piss me off! Both you and I as well as 95 percent of Americans work hard for their money. Where I am, they live in little patches of woods & stink the whole area up. I have no sympathy for them. Most are healthier than me! I assume your tractor has a D-13 Volvo engine? Or is it a Cummins? I drove a small single axle tractor that had a very under powered Cummins 240 with a 9 speed. I tried several times to kill that engine but it lived on. It was replaced by a much more suitable Mack with a 350, 10 speed Eaton Road Ranger. It was a really nice combination but with a heavy load pulling Dans Mtn on 68 sometimes I wished there was a little more . That truck had no Jake. You mentioned the old Petes. I love all of that engine & gear-train noise. Also the smells of the hot, leaky gear oil & diesel burning off :-)) You really have a good life driving mostly in the western parts. I am really jealous. Thanks for putting up the nice videos Mike. Regards from Ody Slim

[@carlosrodriguez2528]

Marty Robins the singer of that song.

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

3 years ago this was made and now we are seeing it again - Has Mike Pearce lost his license to drive rigs I ask myself , for whatever reasons?

[@garsuelgarcia9593]

[@Unknown-Element]

They were digging up mushrooms. They are called lobster mushrooms. They are amazing.

[@swithinbarclay4797]

"Al Castillo" already told you that they were in quest of Pine Nuts, but to be silly, they may also be in quest of the humongous fungus from Tujungas that grows among us!

[@bertmullins3078]

Mic up, Mike!

[@joesphbest3120]

Marty Robbins, 1959 song

[@judithwilber2540]

i had to look up pinon nuts and found out they are also called pignoli which is the italian word for those pine nuts....and yes they are very expensive!! that was an interesting tidbit to learn :)

[@mikeservais888]

Thanks Mike I liked both videos but you said you might be going to Rapid City they might be getting a heavy snow keep an eye on the weather peace...

[@Chesterbarnes1]

What happen to this truck and the company you were working for Mike?

[@maryedunkin9839]

To your left is the Pecos wilderness. One of our nations mist untouched wilderness.

[@swithinbarclay4797]

But that's not all. Salads, pastas, sandwiches, ice cream sundaes, you NAME it, pinons/pignolas (Italian) will fit the bill of fare. I just thought of a new one, Pine Nut Butter!!

[@georgemccoy5028]

Most likely foraging for edible mushrooms. Vendors pay top$$ for them this time of year

[@garethleitner9547]

Pinon nuts, I bet.

[@dogbarbill]

No, the climate for that region is way too dry for mushrooms, especially in October. Pinion nuts, most likely.

[@susansarver4554]

Just Goggled Manudo, sounds crazy. Glad someone can eat it.

[@danielhiggins4331]

MENUDO

Anyone remember what the blanket speed limit was back in 77.?. Was it 50, it was a disaster.

It was 55

1970s oil embargo forced freeways to have maximum speed at 55 which was difficult because we were cruising at 70 😆
