Pops is a great actor.

[@buckeyeguy82]

Awesome video Pops & Josh! I enjoyed when Pops got abducted by the aliens, I'd say he should get an award for that performance 😂

[@travelwithpops]

@buckeyeguy82 thanks for the vote!!

[@nicosaunders8793]

Love your relationship with Pops- the alien bit was so cute. Thanks for all your hard work into these wonderful videos!

[@InterstateKyle]

Nevada is such an underrated state in terms of beautiful scenery, especially in winter, Nevada is Spanish for "snow-capped" and if you ever drive through rural Nevada outside of Las Vegas/Clark County you can really see how the state got its name. Northern Nevada especially north of US-50 is like a dreamscape in the winter time. US-50/I-80 through Nevada in the winter is truly one of the most underrated drives in the US. The views of the snow-capped mountains are just breathtaking. Thanks for sharing this. The small town of Rachel is awesome, the Little A'Le'Inn is definitely worth a stop on the highway! Thanks for everything you do Josh and Pops!

[@mojo.adventures]

Shhhh... there's nothing outside Vegas and Reno- just rocks, cacti, burros, and an occasional haunted ghost town- no need for anyone to leave their cities. Ho hum... off to collect rocks 😂⚒

[@loveandpeace3679]

Pops is dad goals!

[@majorbuzz]

I hadn't heard of the Extraterrestrial Highway until I took my 13 year old son with me on a 3 week road trip. He was looking through a road atlas and spotted the highway. He was really excited and told me all about it including the Black mailbox. So, what was a dad to do? I'm glad that he got to see it in person. Thanks for the video!

[@jennyc1846]

What a great dad..a forever memory for your son....and you too😊 cheers from Western Australia

[@v.kaycarter2399]

Another excellent Video Josh. Your dad’s abduction by the alien was hilarious! My elderly mother thought someone was stealing your dad. I say give him the academy award😂

[@travelwithpops]

@v.kaycarter2399 made my day that your mother enjoyed our silliness! Haha

[@oodlesofpoodles6382]

Just love your channel and the casual but very thorough explanations. The photography is amazing and it is SO great that you get to travel with "pops". You both seem to be the nicest people. So appreciate that your channel is family friendly and that you don't feel as though you have to act like a 7th grader always having to have every moment being EPIC. So tired of selfies with people and their mouths open. I wish you great success.

[@sarahmcbride4518]

Pops is the best! LOVE Pops, love you both. The videos are AWESOME! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. ❤❤❤

[@sverrewiik1175]

Pops has now revealed himself as an awesome actor! Hollywood next stop! Pops rules!👍

[@chriscombs3170]

Okay, that was the funniest thing I've ever seen! Pops and the alien were the best.

[@annjimenez5712]

Pops is great! Loved his acting -definitely Oscar quality! Great video! 😀

[@vb50562]

Looks like you and Pops had a lot fun. It is a lot of open desert. We always took Highway 93 outside of Vegas on our way to Idaho. The desert has its own beauty all its own

[@brayleeparkinsonauthor]

So much fun! Pops deserves an award for his acting skills!

[@JasminaaaSingh]

I was patiently waiting for you to take this trip 👌🏼thank you

[@CelesteNewcomb-gh2ic]

Loved Pop’s running down the Highway. ❤ You have some amazing trips. Thank you for all your tips.

[@discostu5426]

We did this last Sept. It's a really fun excursion, the roads have many forks so it's hard to get to the right spot, we finally made it to the front gate but it took some driving to find it. We did see the white pick-up gaurding the gate on top of a bluff. that's great advice to fill up before you head there, we almost were running out of gas and i was nervous about getting back to a gas station. Loved the vid!

[@wickedwanda6014]

I love watching your videos, especially when you show road number. US 6 runs through NYS and PA! I also now know a place I can visit while traveling to Nevada.

[@brindahoward4527]

Enjoyed watching your trip. Glad Pops made it back safe and sound. LOL

[@staceyl618]

Loved the abduction scenes! (including the one in the hotel room) Such beautiful vistas! Thank you for taking us on your trip!

[@louise3993]

Pops encounter with the alien 👽 hilarious definitely award 🥇 worthy

[@thewanderingtraveler8984]

love the video. Pops was great.😁

[@Saffron.Aerowyn_07]

'Pops' is a natural performer...well done. 😂👋

[@sharathpd]

Pop's abduction by the alien was hilarious! 😂

[@CourtneyMcFate]

I did this trip! My trip was a big loop from Vegas going up the west side of Area 51 up to Tonapah and then coming back down on the east side the way you came. About 9 hours total with stops. Awesome day trip. I loved Rachel and the owner of the Inn. Great times! Awesome video!

[@ericnakamura3634]

Another fun, informative video! Glad that Pops was returned to you in good shape! Can’t wait to see your next adventure!

[@bridgetoconnor7229]

Another great video by TML! Aliens are always a fun topic! Pops acting gave me a big chuckle! Safe travels and God bless!

[@davidshort2609]

Had never heard of this highway, another interesting video! Yep, Pops outdid himself this time. That was awesome and hysterically funny!!!

[@wildzenventures]

Great adventures you two!! I got to visit Tonopah a couple years back, very cool little town! I guess you two survived this hwy since you lived to tell the story :)

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Ah ha ha!! Love your pops & the alien abduction was hilarious! Josh - i have been watching you from the beginning (and someday will go back & watch the 100 episodes I have missed - lousy cell a lot...) and have loved every moment I have spent watching you. You just keep getting better and better and more fun! So happy you have done so well with these two channels. Such a pleasure to watch.

[@shutterclick-6922]

Awesome alien clip with your dad, very funny, shame u didnt get to the gate and seen the camo dudes, great channel. 🇬🇧

[@michaeldavis9774]

I lived in Tonopah in 2000, and I often ate at the Tonopah McDonalds.

[@SpanishRose315]

Way to go.... Mr. Pops best performance. Thank you for the content, enjoy seeing both of you in your travels. Keep the good work.

[@sararathbun4268]

Love your teamwork! Pops rocks!

[@garyadams5948]

Cool video. Makes me want to go check it out. I don’t believe I would ever think of doing something like that on my own. Thanks Josh and Pops 🛸

[@rb5078]

This is one of my favorite drives. I’ve stayed at the Mitzpah but not the Clown Motel yet. Stayed at the Little A’le’inn twice. Tons of fun.

[@steveblankenship5474]

“We have been trying to reach you about your extended warranty” is something to leave in that mailbox. Really a great video and well done.

[@RonaldBrown59]

I've never heard of Extraterrestrial Highway, but I haven't spent a lot of time in Nevada. Very interesting journey, and another great travel video on your channel. Thanks for sharing.

[@ginamorgan731]

If we go to the Extraterrestrial Highway, I really want to get that alien costume. What a fun idea!!! Your dad is an awesome actor!!!

[@travelwithpops]

@ginamorgan731 was funny a couple of cowboys stopped to do selfies with me in the costume haha!

[@SwiftyTravels]

👍👍 For the alien abduction! Great tour! So pretty with the snow!

[@johanna7254]

Drove part of this in 2019, it was lots of fun! Rachel, NV is a great stop.

[@E-T-FreshJerky]

Glad you enjoyed your visit & we hope to see you back here again! We hope to have even more fun things available for your next visit. :)

[@alant.541]

That was so fun to watch. Your Pops is funny! Glad you guys weren't abducted...or probed. 🤣

[@Roadtosomethingnew1]

That scene with pops getting abducted was hilarious

[@SergioEsparza-kt6kk]

OMG, Pops had me cracking up. That's actually a really cool costume.

[@Patriot-American]

Enjoyed watching this video!! Glad your pop got away from the aliens. 😉😎👽

[@IceAndCola]

I've done this trip before. Its a great drive. Thanks for sharing.

[@emmawebb6955]

Enjoy your travels with your pops👋💯💯👍👍

[@tomg.4287]

Great job on going out of your comfort zone at the mine Pops! And sorry about the UFO abduction 😀

[@travelwithpops]

Thx for the sympathy haha!

[@perks6292]

Now I've got to go see if Pops' letter is still in the Black Mailbox!

[@AeKMotos]

Pops is the best actor in this series! Lol!

[@engineerauthorpilot]

That was a great little performance. Pretty humorous. 🤣🤣

[@pamgaines970]

Thanks for the memories my husband and I took that trip in 2006 we were told you can rent a trailer at Rachael for a night or ? If you go on a full moon night you can actually read the newspaper sitting out by the firePit because of the moon and all the stars you will see. We always wanted to do that unfortunately my husband got sick in 2008 passed from that illness in 2014 and we never made it. But your trip really brought me so much joy remembering when we were there. Really I love all your road trips thank you so much for all the happy times

[@lostinnevadaagain1433]

Great video!!! Just a heads up, the Area 51 sign you saw is just preparing you to not cross the actual boundary. I can speak from experience. We stopped at that sign for a few minutes and then my wife freaked out when I took off and drove past it. You can drive right up to the gate while the "Camo Dudes watch you from the hill tops.

[@dynomike07]

Your dad is so cool. I dig your videos, and have watched many of them.

[@justtheilluminativ282]

I’ve always wanted to drive across the Extraterrestrial Highway in Nevada! Great video 👍!

[@jackbest6677]

A cool and comical video.😊

[@chrisconley8105]

Awesome abduction! Nice job Pop's.

[@KraftyGals]

👋🏽Pops😂you crack me up… I can’t stop watching🤣the Alien snatching you away. Josh👋🏽you guys are hysterical. TFS🙏🏽 See you again soon👽I hope.

[@travelwithpops]

@beverlyonajide4523 so glad you enjoyed it!

[@nancybergeson9485]

Such a " funtastic " video! So very glad Pop's was able to escape the aliens!

[@AlexCho-u9m]

29F, I didn't think it got that cold over there. I visited Rachel, NV, etc..during the summer, but drove in from the other side, up RT-93 from Las Vegas and then onto RT-375 at Crystal Springs. It was a few years ago and I was able to drive all the way down to the fence (just a very plain looking, non-descript, fence with gate) on the 17 mile Groom Rd. and also up to a very ominous looking gate (looks very military and top secret) and the end of the 11 mile Rachel Rd. (aka the back gate to Area 51).

[@PatrickRU1992]

Came to your vid expecting a travel vlog. Didn't expect the spine tingling special effects!

[@travelwithpops]

@PatrickRU1992 I totally agree about the incredible realism! Hahaha!

[@haldenkepple4242]

1:20 beautiful coffee

[@wengin]

That was an awesome UFO sighting. 👽🛸Glad that they released your dad after a few experiments. 😅

[@marlenecrisostomo14]

Hello 👋 we love watching your video. Your dad is amazing and hilarious. Safe travels!

[@lauras8674]

Awesome video! Thank you for taking us along!

[@justaworm1]

There was a hike you can do and be able to see onto base from the top of a peak.

[@marthak1111]

Loved the video!! Pop's was great!!!

[@brucelamay8977]

I remember staying at the Excaliber Casino back in 2007 and looking out my hotel window, directly across you could seen the parking ramp at McCarren Airport and those white 737s with the orange stripe, rumor had it those jets brought the employees in and out of Area 51 daily

[@Rangerangieontheroad]

Thank you for again such a great video!! I love watching them over and over again ! I didn't know about the black mailbox, so cool! To the aliens: "Hey, you've been watching us, how are we doing so far? Any ideas how to save this planet?" PS: so hilarious with the abduction, I just loved that costume. Btw, there's a great T-Rex costume... And a Dinosaur National Park... Just saying ... 😆

[@loristravels]

Pops made us laugh so hard!! That area is on my list for sure. I even know what I would write for the black mailbox. “I’ve waited and waited and you never came!!”💔. (We thoroughly enjoy your channel. You are a wealth of information. Thank you).

[@travelwithpops]

Fun!!😊

[@jocelynkunkle6236]

Nice job, from a Nevada resident. Next time in Tonopah, visit the Central Nevada Museum. It is excellent .

[@kathimeadows7869]

Thumbs up to your Dad! Best costume ever!

[@theathjr]

LOVED that pops alien abduction scene. Lol

[@sachkanade]

Love it! Great acting, pops!😂

[@verarosenberg214]

My husband used to work at the solar plant that's in Tonopah. Apparently he's stayed in room 504 of the Mitzpah several times 😮

[@garyleibitzke4166]

I've driven past both ends of Hwy 373. One year we drove the motorhome from Ely to Tonopah on Hwy 6 and many other times drove Hwy 93 and then Hwy 318 past the junction.

[@maryfettig3378]

Cracking up watching Pops! Great to see this this as I'm unlikely ever to make this drive. Thanks so much !

[@fredharvey2720]

Being able to look into an old mine shaft reminds me of the Matchless Mine. You also get to go into Baby Doe's cabin where she was found dead. No haunting there though. Devout Catholic woman.

[@prowrestlingisart6742]

I hadnt seen a winter trip along the highway before. How did the ET Jerky compare to the Alien Jerky in Baker?

[@SmileyLashawn]

That was too funny!!!! Thank you for the laugh this morning 😇🥰🥰

[@dezertraider]

LOL.THEY PUT A BANNER ON YOUR VIDEO,CONGRATULATIONS....VERY COOL,THAT OLD MOTEL IS LIKE A MUSEUM IN ITSELF...SAFE TRAVELS..THANK YOU

[@jetsethome]

this is amazing! thank you for the share

[@shawnlee6633]

Thanks Josh, great vid as always

[@rhondaz356]

This was beyond COOL. I thoroughly enjoyed the info about the trip, and the other entertainment.👽 🎊👏🤗

[@ginamorgan731]

We loved your video & are thinking about going soon. We were watching another video about the Extraterrestrial Highway & saw your note to the aliens in the black mailbox. How cool!!!

[@rutheiermann3476]

Love your Pops being caught by an alien 🤣🤣🤣

[@Lcg503]

Glad U got Pops back from the aliens. 🤣🤣🤣 Great vlog.

[@mico1664]

Was there last week. It was freezing and beautiful Great video, truly enjoyed it

[@AmbientWalking]

Amazing way of experiencing the world and the different sites. Thanks! Super love your channel!

[@deadairconversion]

Always great videos bro.

[@elmertillogrande6893]

I was feeling a bit lackluster and alienated today...Thanx for the smile!

[@travelwithpops]

😊

[@mindysdad3110]

Way to go Pops!

[@markyuen2312]

To be honest, it is a good thing that you didn't go beyond that "Warning" sign. The security, aka "Camo Dudes" (because of the camoflage uniform they wear) will detain you, impound your vehicle, and hand you over to the local police.

[@1958zed]

Yay, Pops!

[@WhoaNellieRVAdventures]

👍👍👍 Thank You for the award winning performance. (from both of you)

[@Dlee4000]

Good performance by pops

[@jennyc1846]

Glad you made it out alive...Did Pops get an Oscar for his performance? 🎉I hope he suffered no ill effects from his abduction😅 cheers from Western Australia...awesome scenery by the way

[@00Mandy00]

I love going to Las Vegas and using it as a jumping off place for cool adventures.
