Arco Idaho US 93 North to Mackay Idaho

[@ohwell2790]

Years ago rode my Honda 450 cc motorcycle from Astascadero CA to New Meadows Idaho and great trip and did not want to leave Idaho.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

ReVer, like you it's beautiful country Idaho, on Rt U. S. 93, but I couldn't live there either. That SNOW, just can't deal with the volumn of SNOW THEY GET.

[@RogerLambrou]

I grew up around this region! Miss it so much!!!

[@swansodi]

I have lived in Idaho for awhile, you made the right decision taking 93 north. The drive from Salmon to the Montana state line is beautiful!!

[@coloradonative8986]

What happened to the film in craters of the moon campground.??

[@NadaNada-mf7wz]

Heading North towards Arco is the place called ‘ Craters of the Moon ‘ that’s where they filmed the scenes from the supposed Moon Landing ! ! ! ! - believe me i know i worked there way way back......

[@geolin109]

Arco is also called the atomic town because it was the first town ever powered with atomic energy, and there is a museum there about the atomic energy research done in the area.

[@susanstrickland6774]

Beautiful peaceful drive. Mountain just standing there in all it's glory. Like those small towns with character. 😊👍

[@SmokeyMtnRobin]

I never lnew Idaho would be so beautiful.

[@GREENHAIREXPLORER]

Idaho is so amazing. I've lived in Boise my whole life and always wanted to leave but now that I'm an adult and can do my own things and explore the beauty, I don't think I could ever leave

[@jesscarey7666]

Nothing like country roads and small town USA!! Very cool!!

[@martyrose]

Hey Russ! That's a really beautiful place! Love the mountains. You'd probably die from boredom trying to live there day in and day out! Wonderful colors in this video. Thanks!😀🏔️

[@almeggs3247]

Awesome cloud formations!

[@68Mustang390]

Hey Russ, what happened to your Creator of the moon video ?

[@doreenpimentel8717]

You missed out by not stopping in at "The Pickle" in Arco! Great homemade food : ) You passed right by it on the way to the Plaza.

[@Angry_Wolf754]

Agreed!! Great food! We stopped there to eat as there wasn't much of anything else in Arco.

[@debbiblakeslee2373]

All these comments and I am the only one to hit the thumbs up button 🤔🤔🤔the more we hit that button the more the will suggest Russ’s videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@BH-et3zv]

Yes, but Idaho is full! no more room for visitors or carpet baggers. The winters are horrid, unbearable.

[@WaltANelsonPHD]

Russ, you are on a long trip. You might consider making a "tips for travel" vid where you sit in front of the Ford van and hold forth on the sights, the costs, the repairs, the surprises, etc. Thanks!

[@amandawormell2699]

Hello from Lewiston Idaho have a great time.

[@josemariass]

Hello from Ireland👍🇮🇪

[@johnsomebody972]

Second Idaho heaven on earth.

[@leerothman7570]

Yeah you'll be driving right past Borah Peak the highest point in Idaho. The drive up Hwy 93 is sure a beauty. Salmon is a good town for food and you'll drive right up to Montana that road.

[@tazmod7272]

Sorry I missed your Crater of the Moon video. Said unavailable. Never been on 93. Pretty country. I bet it is cold during the winter.

[@kimiaartista6242]

I can't wait to visit this beautiful state!

[@donalddday7741]

First place I looked at when I moved to Idaho, when locals told me winters are 35 to 45 below with no wind chill I said no way, been in that kind of weather driving semis in America and Canada

[@richardbarrett6367]

Russ, folks here in Idaho pronounce the town's name Mack'ee...I don't know why.

[@bassproable]

We just came back from Rexburg visiting family with our rig.

[@calgondave]

Russ, thanks for bringing us along ! Have a cup of coffee on me! The previous video has a problem. It won’t let me watch it.?

[@rockjocky7846]

I saw the video in the morning but didn't have time to watch it and then later in the day it was gone.

[@bosse641]

Lovely little town Mackay. Could easily live there.

[@jeffreylally4722]

Google Barney hotsprings. Has tropical fish in it. Don't forget elk bend.

[@kennethwhite1616]

That Sinclair you pass as you come into Arco from the West there is a cut across too jack travel plaza

[@jerryprice5484]

The town is called MACK-E

[@VickyGeagan]

Russ my a couple of good friends of mine from back East here, have their daughter Elisha and her husband Jesse who live their. Jesse grew up their they met in collage and are building their own sip chalet. I watch their you tube channel pure life living. All I can say is I would not want to live their in the winter. They also have the same drone you do and are always going to lost river state park. They love it their. Their youtube channel is pure life living.

[@jaymontgomery3330]

Lost River Range on your right.

[@skullstaxx]

I live in Mack EE. Small town USA at its best

[@jdc8352]

White knob challenge. I used to race it back when. My friends wife from there and I got a buddy from there. I'm in Pocatello

[@tonyforrester5072]

Tell Roger I said hi

[@skullstaxx]

wyomarine don’t know. Just moved here from Pocatello

[@LorisRVLife]

Hey Russ.. Great views.. Thanks for sharing, Lo :)

[@gavanhillebold3131]

Hahaha where is everyone ? Beautiful place but when the sidewalks roll up in those little towns they stay rolled up haha 😆Safe travels

[@shanepersons383]

Lol just watch for the sighn that says welcome to Montana!

[@vicenteortega5079]

Hi ' to the commentator of this Rvers videos I love what his doing keep up the good work good bless u n family

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Pretty mountains now. Did you bring your ski's with you Russ? Looks gas is hard to find and you have to watch your fuel level close. Pleasant drive without a lot of traffic. Happy trails.

[@donalddday7741]

One of the biggest earthquakes in America happened in the area

[@paulhunter546]

93 looks like a nice drive..prefer the 2 lane roads myself ;-)

[@ronmothershead8896]

Mackay has a tourist park where you can camp for free. You were one Street off.

[@stevenpilling5318]

Folks: I'm going to be visiting Idaho for the first time this September. What kind of weather can I expect? I'll be in Sandpoint at the beginning of the month, in Boise around the 15th and at Yellowstone on the 24-27. How cold is it liable to get up there?

[@wanders175]

Hi Russ, The video “US 20 Idaho Scenic Drive” towards the end you had just gotten to the Craters of The Moon and mentioned you were going to the Visitors Center and shoot some Lava and Fly your Drone. Did that Video not get posted? Cause your next video is “Arco Idaho MacKay ID and you mentioned that the Craters of The Moon was Beautiful. Just wondering, maybe you didn’t post Craters of The Moon video or haven’t posted it yet or don’t plan on doing so. Just wondering. But, I do enjoy following along with your journeys. Just checked my KZbin InBox and there is a video “Craters of The Moon Campground”, but sadly when clicking on it it said it is unavailable. 😞

[@stevenpilling5318]

I didn't even know there were still Sinclair gas stations around!

[@bkbland1626]

They're all over Idaho.

[@RossLougheed]

It is pronounced "Mack-EE." The ATV center of ID. Arco is the first nuclear powered town in the USA. Borah peak to the east of Mackay is the highest mountain in ID.

[@verbaldavenci1]

That's what I was thinking and the first comment was about. Nice video fella.

[@rickbown6871]

That lost river just goes into irrigation canals.

[@suegreen4123]

You're driving thru my childhood Russ. It is beautiful. BTW, it's pronounced Mack-E . Sorry, just drives me nuts. Happy trails.

[@maryfanelli6727]

Awesome! Sue.

[@sherlockfurr2705]

Why is the state I live in on my recommended feed???

[@johntilson2535]

Don't blink, you might miss Mackay ID!

[@jassmith2412]

i live in arco also

[@latergator3367]

You are headed into some beautiful country along the Salmon River ! Take a middle fork raft trip if you get the chance ! You missed the Idaho National Labs east of ARCO . Thank them for pioneering nuclear power. Oh Yeaah! Keep it between the white lines !

[@frankmccleary]

You travel too fast Russ. At craters of the moon there is lava tubes you can hike down into and through.

[@doctorartphd6463]

What America is all about.

[@sleddy01]

There are not completely black cats. You're good.

[@maryfanelli6727]

Mackay is pronounced Mackey. I know strange. It is beautiful huh?

[@cajunjamis9001]

Like!

[@visioncue7870]

MACK ay

[@mikeggcole83]

Russ, we clicked on the Crater Moon & it said it wasn't available on a black screen. We've gone 2 other places & it does not exist. What happened? You talked about how great it was, & we have no way to see it. Now we are going to watch as you drove away from it saying how great it was.

[@birneyphillips6349]

Russ, you would be so bored living here. All there is to do is hunt and fish or hiking and trail riding. There is some beautiful gem stone hunting also. Yeah, you would get bored real fast. Then go eat at Pickles Place. Bored stiff

[@Gmar69]

What's wrong with Idaho Falls??? It's just a little busier than Mackay, I mean a lot, but there's good stuff there too. I'm not partial, I live in Iona. Even smaller than Mackay. Nothing to see there. Carry on...

[@steeledgoose7327]

Starts video sees nothing but sagebrush yup thats the Idaho I know

[@sirpercival4731]

ARCO = Home of Greedy Kilowatt !

[@tylerdavis6457]

Not mackay it's pronounced makee

[@SecretIdaho]

Prnounced Mac ee

[@SecretIdaho]

Not Ma Kay

[@Arthurlabs1]

More secret than area 51 No one knows the truth
