Your Wyoming videos were really good too imo.

[@user-qc7hr4my7r]

Next time you’re out west stop by Cooke City, Montana. Old mining town with about 100 people outside the NE entrance of Yellowstone. It’s basically secluded from Montana and only way in and out is through Wyoming, lol. They even have snow blowers on some of the roofs in town.

Shhhh 🤫 spent my honeymoon there in ‘75!! Was there again in2016, hadn’t changed much. ❤

[@NickJohnson]

I feature CC in another video!

[@brendaz9222]

Looks like a beautiful place for a large family!

[@the_review_lady_channel]

Lots of large families in Idaho

[@WyomingTraveler]

Enjoyed the tour of Wallace. Ihave driven through the town a couple of times many, many years ago and thought to myself that this town would be a neat place to live in. Your video showed I was right.

[@williamrandall6472]

Another awesome, entertaining video,presented by the awesome Nick Johnson. I, for 1,absolutely appreciate all of the production, that you work so hard at for your subscribers Nick.Thank you very much for the amazing series that you are putting together here Nick.I am excited to see what you will do, once this is over.Another video series you did,of the Midwest was totally cool as well. I just wish you would have been able to put a bit more of the Todd Family Farm on there,very nice Family, I'm subscribed to them as well. Abby does a fantastic job filming their operations.

[@NickJohnson]

I love Abbys vids Bill!

[@williamrandall6472]

@@NickJohnson yeah,Abby is great,very entertaining

[@JoeinSeattle.]

Great video. I stumbled on this town inadvertently, driving to Seattle. Wallace charmed the hell out of me too.

[@bradjudy5708]

Stay OUT Commie!!!!!!!!

[@Van-zf9iw]

That place has a better downtown than my NC town of 90,000. Mine is mostly made up of government buildings.

[@BenStarner]

This is my favorite video you’ve ever made. Such a cute town. I’d move there if I could and it’s long been on my list of small towns I’d love to move to. Gorgeous and tiny. Perfect.

[@NickJohnson]

Cool Ben!

[@lavapix]

Those finicky ghosts. The last of the 49 continental states I drove to was Maine back in 89. Great videos by the way.

[@carllondonnuman7604]

This is my video to watch tonight ❤

[@belindah9790]

You do the BEST job oh highlighting all the places you travel … nice or terrifyingly dismal. You always crack me up 😂 I love this channel-and I love this little town The downtown looks JUST like the little red brick downtown where I recently moved to in North Carolina Keep up the great work!

[@NickJohnson]

I ❤️ North Carolina!

[@mactedi2654]

always get a new insight into every town that you visit Nick, still keep watching your videos here from Indonesia

[@NickJohnson]

❤️❤️ 🇮🇩

[@priola7587]

Great video. And I saw something from my childhood in that museum I’ve been wanting for years. So excited to go visit, maybe before it snows.

[@chrismoper8191]

My friend moved from Long Island NY to Idaho I thought it was bizarre but on my first visit i understood why he moved there Idaho is absolutely beautiful

[@CMFL77]

You just hope that people moving from the larger ruined cities to these time capsule small towns don't bring with them the stuff that ruined their former homes in the first place. The lack of litter and graffiti is my favorite part of this one

[@manager4409]

they absolutely will. latinos have no self awareness at all. everywhere they're the majority gets ruined, then they just move on to the next white area. except there won't be any left.

[@ColdPotato]

I think one problem is maybe it's not what the people bring baggage wise. Just the volume of people which changes an area.

[@joanmatchett8100]

It looks like a great place , when l was a child , we left the key in the door, so we could all use the same one , my friend left her's on a string just inside the letter box . You could never do that in the same area today .

[@nelsonwilkinson5972]

I've never been to Idaho. Wallace seems like a pretty decent place to live. God bless them. Thanks, Nick, for this video.

[@timshipp1145]

Thank you for taking us to places like this. What a wonderful town.

[@annhowcroft9493]

What a great town.

[@bradjudy5708]

Lies!!!! All of them!!!!

[@ELDIABLO444]

I live in Rainelle WV a small town down in a mountainous bowl in greenbrier county WV, I grew up in Cleveland Ohio but a small town kinda grows on ya like mold or fungus or something !!! Once it takes hold it's like home sweet Homey !!! Great video Nick all the best to you and yours Sir.

[@NickJohnson]

I LOVE Wyoming!!!

[@dansullivan3238]

dude, HUGE congratulations on hitting the last of the lower 48. that's awesome. I'm at 35 myself so i understand.

[@vernafairleigh7566]

Thank you Nick this was wonderful to watch.

[@spitfirered]

This Video Of Wallace Idaho Was Great Nick, I Bet If You Check Back In About A Year It's Going To Be Bigger Because Of You, Thank You Really Enjoyed It, Wendy

[@NickJohnson]

Wendy!! ❤️❤️

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

Hi Nick! Hi Mappy! Idaho does look nice!

[@northidahodrives]

I love living in North Idaho. Thanks for visiting and sharing our gem.

[@debbiehellionandtheapocaly845]

That is the cutest quaint mountain town I absolutely love it ❤🎉 Looks like stepping into a bit of a history

[@SlackHoffman]

A very beautiful place 👌💙

[@Blissfulnessence]

It truly is quaint and serene. Love the backdrop of mountains and tall pines. Have to admit i was waiting to hear something about potatos 🥔 though 😄 But, my first thought when i clicked was "wonder if Nick will go ghost hunting?" Someday (or night) you're going to find one ya' know! And btw, you lost your Montana mustache (that was the tumbleweed you saw on the sidewalk! 🤣) Loved the trip Nick et al. Hope you guys keep bringing us these for a long time!

[@trailblazeratv6306]

The Potatoes are southern Idaho. It's one of the greatest marketing campaigns in history of the world "Famous Potatoes" it's even on our license plate

[@Blissfulnessence]

@@trailblazeratv6306 Well, personally, i love them...now I'm hungry 😋
