Go HERE for Amazing Places without the Crowds (SUV Camping/Vanlife Adventures)

[@SUVRVing]

I bought a new SUV last week! Check back at 6 am (Pacific time) on Tuesday for the video reveal!

[@hopehealsinternationalmini4291]

Wow cool! My guess is Subaru Forester.

[@RicG.]

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing your new camper. 😎

[@SkepticalRaptor]

Google is awful at notifications for videos, so I hope it pops up, so I remember to watch! Congratulations. My personal bet will be that you bought one of those Suburbans, because you seemed to love it.

[@CactusAtlas]

Congrats! Excited to see what the choice was!

[@robgrubb420]

toyota ftw

[@everintransit4240]

People in dire straights might eat wallpaper paste back then knowing it was made of wheat. Those murals are called Large Letter Murals.. They were photographed and sold to tourists as postcards 1902 was earliest example that I could find. Great post.

[@Playitagaindian]

If that paste smelled like the paste we used in the 60s…mmm! (The boys tended to use a ton and eat it. 🤣) Wonderhussy stayed in the Clown Motel. 🤡 It’s fun video. Great video as always, Tristan. 👍🏻

[@martinjcamp]

@@Playitagaindian Too bad they didn't have PlayDoh back then.... Doesn't exactly "taste like chicken", but it's Yummy! LOL Tristan RULES.

[@lindadechiazza2924]

Old recipe for paste made out of flour ... make playdough out of flour also (I added dry jello for coloring) so depends what you use. RIP paste eatin' guy.

[@mtgreengarden]

@@lindadechiazza2924 The paste probably plugged him up.

[@ChipChoc00]

Loved the wild horses!

[@DavidLari]

That punch bowl was just crazy! I wonder if anyone just dove in not realizing it was near boiling hot.

[@zorazorazorzzora8333]

I thought the same. Or if a person was just driving would they know it’s ahead

[@leese.23]

I'm sure that's how they originally found out! Lol

[@Meggligee]

I look at that and think, “my youngest son would try to jump right in to go swimming. Where’s the barrier?” But then again, it’s in the middle of Nevada, which as we all know, is highly underrated.

[@MN2_Kevin_Hill_1970]

@@Meggligee that's probably where they got rid of Hoffa

[@johnbravo1005]

Wonder where it leads

[@Meggligee]

The postcard town mural is painted in a style called “Large Letter” and was popular through the mid-20th century. Loved the horses, almost trying to run with you! Also thank you for the history behind everywhere you go! Edited to include my favorite part was Diana’s punch bowl! The geothermal activity and geology in general of the western US is on the top most amazing things about our country (in my nerdy opinion).

[@billj5645]

Some of them are painted by Victor Ving and Lisa Beggs, @GREETINGSTOUR

[@Galiuros]

@@billj5645 They painted one for Tucson.

[@jerrypotmesil8302]

We live in Nevada so we enjoyed the whole video. My wife loved seeing the wild mustangs running alone next to your SUV.

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

Thumbs up for Nevada. Looking forward to sipping my coffee along with this video.

[@phillipmurrieta1]

Thank you Tristan, that was an extremely enjoyable episode! You do such a good job. Always a great way to start my Saturday. I live in Vegas, now I need to go see Diana's Punchbowl, that was incredible.

[@annkennedy4071]

a great visit ty

[@davepaulsen7110]

When on road trips, I like to tune into local radio stations. By far, KGFN... Goldfield radio station. I enjoyed the station most of the way to Death Valley. I still listen in over the net.

[@davidgodley521]

I was a printer for 18 years at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. The type font that you're looking for is called 'Coffee Tin'.It was also used on a road sign for the turnoff from I-26 in South Carolina to the historic town of Ninety-six.

[@SabrinaDawn444]

I think my favorite part were the wild horses but loved it all. I was bummed you weren't going to go into the clown office. I'm glad you did..lol I would say the punch bowl was close to my favorite but nothing can beat those gorgeous horses! This was such a great video(every minute of it)! Thank you!♡

[@sallyfromthevalley9724]

I LOVED THIS TRISTAN!!!!

[@memeking5376]

Exploring NV is so much fun! I have driven Route 50, the loneliest road, from beginning to end. I even got the bumper sticker. lol. Happy trails!

[@thomasdreke1698]

Nevada is a beautiful empty place except for the interesting stuff you can find there. I am looking forward to seeing your new ride Tuesday.

[@skippylippy547]

I share your love of Nevada. Especially the areas of central Nevada. I've been exploring this state for 48 years and continue to be surprised by its secret places. Thanks for sharing this very special place! ❤️

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

I used to go down in a mine near Goldfield with my neighbor when I lived in Vegas. He had been going to the place since the 1960s there was a petrified rabbit that looked alive had been sitting in a corner for 100 yrs. I love that part of the world thanks for sharing

[@norsefalconer]

Awesome! I may never travel to, or within Nevada, so I appreciate the "tour." Favorite part: The cave art was/is amazing. But, I have to go with the horses. There's something comforting about knowing some of them still run wild.

[@carollyngillespie3860]

Yeah, I like the surprise adventures. So interesting everytime.

[@jorgiesjog9904]

I accidentally stopped in goldfield once as well. I liked the town way more than the buried cars too.

[@conniewaite1371]

You do great research and trip planning.thank you for all the wonderful videos

[@wimm0926]

Stayed in Tonapa before, interesting place. We ate at a cafe where current miners were eating. Food wasn't to bad, but the miners came straight the mines muddy boots and all haha

[@vvogt4252]

Excellent Video, Really liked the Wild Horse's running as you were driving out to punch bowl.

[@marygoround2381]

I love your total appreciation of nature and history

[@justlookin3]

If you love old towns and mines; please go see, ghost town living, Brent is amazing. You need permission to see Cerro Gordo, but you and your viewers will love it. Free camping on his private property. He bought the town.

[@zopi9]

The punchbowl is fantastic and your long view drone footage is spectacular! Love the wild horses the most!

[@thewanderingtraveler8984]

I love the drone footage you take. It's wonderful to see the area. The punch bowl was really unique.

[@beach3girl459]

The craziest things spring up from the desert. Horses were magnificent!

[@markheller76]

Seems like you and Wonderhussey are covering the same territory but many of your hiking adventures are Epic. Your unique process is art. I’m not saying stick to what you do best. I want to encourage you to push the envelope think outside the box and don’t go changing. Nothing but love for you and the wife.Peace

[@johnbrownlee7623]

Good job on the Video.....Thanks.........................JB.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks JB 👍

[@jimmartins3073]

Lovely stuff mate, I lived in a car back in 1983 for 6 months with a mate. We did Route 66 and ran out of money in the first 5 weeks, we had some adventures after that. America has it all, deserts, mountains, forests, oceans, swamps, cities, long long rods, and still more, with all of the beauty along the way,. Thanks for touching on the history of the place. I love trekking and have endless tales around the world, what you are doing is a good thing, I am from the old Backpacking era and going out there and taking a look of the value of the ground you are walking on is rare today. Thank you , I watch many of you videos.

[@vail8150]

Nice music selection

[@Barley150]

Thanks, Tristan -- another winner!

[@babsgaudreau5936]

Love this quirky stuff

[@bdmenne]

23:00 fantastic music to compliment the moment.

[@CactusAtlas]

Awesome! Goldfield is one of our favorites but sadly we didn't have time for the Goldfield cemetery while there. It would appear we missed out on some very interesting things. Library paste is something I've not yet seen on a headstone I have to say. The Mitzpah Hotel is actually pretty lovely inside. We've stayed twice now and is one of our favorite historic hotels. Somehow we missed the castle, cave or Diana's Punchbowl though (probably due to the location as you stated) so onto our list they go! Very much appreciate the info about them.

[@angelajenkins]

You out did yourself!!!!! Diana's punch bowl was spectacular!!!!!!

[@buddyvars9175]

Nice thanks for taking us with you 🙂

[@timpeggybullock8251]

We agree with you, Nevada is underrated. We drove Hwy 50 back in June and we were pleasantly surprised with what we saw. Enjoy your videos; keep exploring!

[@pleinaire8698]

As an almost native nevadan of 45 years, I've travelled on highway 95 many many times from Reno to Vegas passing thru goldfield and tonopah....like stepping back in history.. my fav place in goldfield is what I call pigeon house..hundreds roost on the front porch roof every fall.!

[@nancywolfe1983]

Love Diana's punch bowl and the drone shots. You give such an educated story about it.

[@bettyannsworld514]

Thanks for the adventure! I live in So. Cal. and I have always wanted to explore! I especially enjoy walking through old cemeteries. I fnd them fascinating.

[@florencerozner2344]

I always enjoy your travels great adventures .places I would never get to see in person .thank you for sharing.

[@softroadingthewest]

Really great episode, loved the mix of historic sites and natural wonders. Amazing footage of the wild horses. Being a fan of geological oddities, the punchbowl gets the gold for me here, but it was all really interesting.

[@SkepticalRaptor]

Diana’s Punchbowl was one of the coolest things you’ve shown ever. Though the cave with the petroglyphs came close.

[@hopehealsinternationalmini4291]

We really love watching your videos, thank you. Your travels bring peace and calm to our lives here on the mission field in Manila. God Bless.

[@MariafromthePhilippineIslands]

Diana's Punch Bowl reminds me of my country's famous volcano "Mount Pinatubo". The crater looks like a bowl with water at the center. However, it's hotness is tolerable like a spa lake. Filipinos just loved swimming on it. The volcano is also attractive to foreign tourist. They love swimming in there as well. Thank you for tagging us along. It's nice to see different places virtually without spending huge money just to see those beautiful places. 😊😊

[@Kat12744]

Great video! My favorite part was Diana's punch bowl and the wild horses!

[@phillyg7661]

Wow those pictographs really caught my attention and gave me a feeling of the depiction of a catastrophe. 19:20 seemed to depict fireball and fire on the land 19:30 gives me the impression of a meteor shower and chaos 19:40 looks to depict the sun, mars on the other side, Venus and the Earth with the moon, these are visible in the night sky. After when you mentioned it was more of a shelter, it gave some confirmation to my initial gut feeling.

[@Habanero777]

Great video thanks for sharing. Takes me back 50 plus years to my childhood when we used to do nothing but camping all over the place especially Nevada being that I grew up in Southern California now reside in Colorado

[@AntManBee19]

I drove from North Rim up through St George Cedar City and got a good idea of the landscape. Your campsite reminded me how beautiful the high desert can be

[@testsubject1364]

I love when you visit old western towns and that vista at the end among all that sagebrush ... wow! Captivating from beginning to end.

[@yeetamous]

Fantastic Tristan....you find the greatest places....enjoy, I'm suv camping a lot now...thanks!

[@henrikm4657]

That’s a great video with spectacular destinations. I drove through NV from UT with my two sons in June, and we ended up going through the town of Tonopah. We passed the “Extraterrestrial highway” on the way there, but didn’t have time to explore it. I agree that NV is underrated. It’s arid, but it has its own beauty for sure!

[@robertphillips93]

Thanks for another fun trip, Tristan! I'm no graphic arts expert, but you'd have to think some of the earliest examples of that block letter style that got wide exposure were the early and mid-century movie studio logos from films of that era . . .

[@carolsmith7380]

Enjoyed Goldfield...thanks for stopping there!

[@delontereid7584]

Diana's punch bowl is the most unique place I saw. I didn't know Carhenge and the International Car Forest had competition.

[@MarylandWearAndCarry]

I'm pretty sure the timbers that spanned the stope were there so that if the wall began the shift the miners would hear the timbers cracking or seeing their damage in the morning from a shift that occurred the night before. Also the man cage attached to the winch on the truck would have been used to haul men one at a time out of a ventilation shaft in an emergency evacuation in the event a collapse blocked the primary exit.

[@josefinaDandelion]

Wow beautiful wild horses!!

[@akfroggie2177]

I think that style came from old historic post card art. Thank you for covering Nevada - the best state in the country, IMHO!

[@virginiaallen4723]

I have several postcards with that art.

[@boitoiful]

You are such a pleasant guy to travel with. Calming voice. You seem like such a gentle guy. About the farmers tan. Just take off your shirt and even it out. I found you recently and really enjoy your channel. Happy Trails to YOU!! J

[@nofences-dawnehollis8503]

My favorite part of the video is ALL of it 😂 but maybe the mustangs, the old towns, the punch bowl, and your calm and interesting narrative-

[@jonathanbush6197]

Great stuff. Diana's Punchbowl is amazing, and the sense of solitude and stillness from that valley with Diamond Mountain, that comes through even on the video.

[@christinerolle3876]

So unique no crowd I love it.thanks for taking us again.🥰😍🤩

[@sandyverwys770]

The punch bowl and the wild horses were my favorite part of this video.

[@Moondoggy1941]

6:12 That is a Rock Drill they are still used today, I ran one for 30 years.

[@LisaMarli]

Tonopah is a nice town and since it is still very much alive, it is the county seat,, there is enough there to stay and visit. The Mizpah Hotel was the tallest building in Nevada for a number of years. The hotels in Los Vegas at that point were 2-3 story sprawling structures, rather than tall. And it is gorgeous inside, fully updated but with antiques too. Yes, I've been there.

[@suesanchez5831]

You were right when you said the punch bowl was out in the middle of nowhere!! Awesome views!!

[@carolsmith7380]

My favorites were Goldfield, the pictographs, the wild horses, and your campsite. Farmer tan is also pretty impressive 👌 👏 👍. Safe travels, Tristan.

[@Datagrl8888]

I loved the drone footage over that sink hole! Missed your sandwich details however . Nom nom nom

[@barbarootoo]

Yes, Nevada is under-rated. So many interesting historic and natural sites...long distances between them but I love that. Driving basin and range topography is a favorite. And no one else is out there!

[@d-nd-n5028]

That tiny basket on the end of the boom on the truck is mine rescue equipment. It wasn't meant for normal lowering and raising men into a mine. The Tonopah Mining museum is excellent for seeing things like this. At night that tall hotel has had its sign restored - its the Mizpah - and the sign is visible at night for many many miles.

[@joannevanhyning9513]

Loved the punch bowl..also that definitely gives new meaning to the term " Paste eater".

[@robertwagner7867]

All those quirky small mining towns are very interesting. Another great adventure. Thanks!

[@Pakka_Telangana2014]

Wow..I missed this episode. I'm amazed by Diana's Punch bowl. Thanks a lot for sharing. 🙏

[@AbouttheJourney]

Fantastic video! Your video perfectly encapsulates why I love Nevada so much. There are so many nooks and crannies to explore. I'll be looking forward to your SUV reveal this week and your trip to the Rubies!

[@anitabackroadsonly9086]

Hi Tristan, 13:06 that style of art might be art decor. Great video.

[@darlenestout7548]

Loved it all , especially the hole in the ground. WOW AWESOME also the wild horses. I love the ghost town also.

[@cynthiasimpson78]

Perfect music at the end of your time in Goldfield.

[@LDR1100RS]

I love Nevada! I've spent days and many miles riding the wide open spaces on big, fast motorcycles. Hwy 50 from Fallon to Ely is great fun. Austin is a beautiful little town.

[@johnchedsey1306]

My first experience with Goldfield was driving through at night. I could tell there was a town but there were so few lights on in any of the structures that it was very eerie. And then I drove by the massive, dark Goldfield Hotel. Very trippy and weird. I visited later that year take photos of the town in daylight. Hard to believe it's a county seat! Nevada is indeed very underrated. It's not quite for everyone's tastes, but for those who can appreciate the big expansive lands and little unique features throughout, it's amazing.

[@terrytrump4751]

Thanks for taking me along on your adventures.

[@3Duncan3]

Adventures of A&K just mentioned the artists that do the 'postcard' city signs in their North Dakota episode.👍

[@Crmcdizzle]

The punch bowl was intriguing but so was the mining towns historical equipment

[@gaypreator8547]

My favorite part. When you laid out the map of Nevada. Gives such a great perspective. Also, delving into the lives of people that made all this possible. The beauty of this country is not all about the scenery or being the only person at some point or other. The livelihoods, the risk taken to just live. Doubt they even considered risk. All those lives it was not easy or glamorous - “safety” - that made me laugh.

[@Manyroadsnorules]

WOW Tristan!!! Out of the many videos you have made over the last few years, this one called my attention deeply into many different things! I love your question about the style of the graffiti, great question! Loved the shafts, the punch bowl (scary) and you have me nightmares with those clowns! So I feel like "returning the favor": have you considered that each of those clowns was not the only piece ever produced but part of some amount of mass- produced clowns? Multiply the number you saw in there by the total amount of clowns ever made... now the world sounds like one of the scariest places in the universe, we are surrounded! Brrrrrr

[@tquist61]

I've driven across the "Loneliest Road in America" (Highway 50) in Nevada a few times... but the route you took looks even lonelier! Thanks for sharing your adventures through Nevada Tristan!

[@leese.23]

I was in Tonopah in my early teens and the grandparents we went to visit there lived literally in the middle of nowhere. About 100 yd away there was a lone cemetery that had a wrought-iron fence around it... right oit of a horror movie. It was one of the creepiest and most beautiful places I've ever seen.

[@WanderingWithWanda]

Diana's punch bowl is so cool. But the best part is all the space!

[@cathybutler4532]

I can see another trip in my future. Thank you for showing me more places to stop.

Thanks for another tour. Been years since I've been to Tonapah. I'll add this area to my bucket list You were there on a most beautiful day ☺️

[@robertwhitemoto]

ok the running horses were cool !! ... and beautiful scenery.

[@Desert2snowoffwego]

Diana's punch bowl for sure was the highlight! What a bizarre thing in the middle of frickin nowhere!

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Just drove through the area last week going from Eli to Tonopah and one can see that Nevada really does have more Mountain Ranges than any other state. The other thing that stood out to me was that the gas stations in Tonopah all had the exact same prices for their gas.
