Great Salt Lake Now The Great Mud Pit - Mega Drought Rescue

[@q-treedevelopmentllc2109]

That’s MY S10 Truck behind you Matt at the 11:37 min mark!!! Guaranteed! I rebuilt that thing in my 20’s starting with a new frame out of Indiana. The slightly off-color fender flares, the odd gap between the fender and door by the mirror, and the tires are a dead give away. I sold it to a high-school kid in Brigham city in 2015. Holy crap! What a coincidence! It’s like spotting a lost child to me🤯

Four years ago on one of my drives back to Oregon from a visit to San Antonio I saw a sign on the freeway for the Golden Spike National Historic Park. I drove miles through the country before I reached the site. On the way I stopped and hiked around some of the historic spots and learned a lot. When I reached the visitors center I learned they were putting the trains away for the winter. A park ranger spoke to us, then they started up the two trains and backed them into buildings for the winter. Well worth my unplanned stop.

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Been to Golden Spike NHS. A necessity for any rail fan. Running reproductions of the 119 and the Jupiter are both there, both chugging steam. They have a few miles of track. No rides, though.

From Doug M of Canada.

[@williameddy3740]

Doug Moran-----Looking at history and recognizing some " bad parts" is not revising history , or cancelling it . I am originally from Dartmouth , Nova Scotia . In Nova Scotia we had different stuff named after Edward Cornwallis, who " settled" Halifax . There were roads , schools , a naval station and statues honoring Cornwallis . However , he was a vile human being. When he was a British army officer in Scotland , one of his favorite tricks was to lock Highlanders in their homes , and set the homes on fire . In Nova Scotia, he gave natives blankets infected with small pox . When we started to realize what a sweetheart he was , it made sense to stop honoring him .

[@dougmoran13]

The Gordon Lightfoot song you were singing is titled "The Canadian Railroad Trilogy" and describes the building of the trans-Canada Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). Though, it can be fittingly applied to the Transcontinental Railway.

[@thedave513]

Close enough eh?

[@williameddy3740]

At Craigalachie, in British Columbia in the Rocky Mountains , there is a small museum related to the building of the CPR in Canada . It was a jarring to see that the Chinese laborers who worked on that railway took 3 days to lay track that other crews took 4-5 days . We needed them to help build the railway , then did everything we could to keep them from coming to Canada . We imposed a $50 " head tax" , then increased it to $100 , and later to $500 .

People being the curious creature that they are have begun to explorer the receding shores as adventures.

I did a report on the Transcontinental Railroad in 4th grade. I always thought that the two trains met at a place called Promontory Point, Utah on July 4, 1869. I don't remember the song by Gordon Lightfoot. The song I remember by him is about a Great Lakes Cargo Ship called the Edmund Fitzgerald that sank in 1975 during a storm. Quite a heartfelt song. I would say the song that is fitting here is a song by John Mellencamp. In part of the song he would sing, "Drive your 4WD right into the mud." (Everyone needs a hand to hold onto?) Great video!

[@JohnFL]

Lightfoot's song is about the Canadian Transcontinental railroad.

Now, Lizzy. One needs to pay attention to where they are walking. Even though it is Matts trailer, you do need to be cautious of walking and working around it. I say this. Compromise. Matt.

[@CRneu]

For anyone wondering about those google pins being inaccurate, it's cuz the folks aren't waiting long enough before getting the pin in google maps. When a phone grabs an initial location, it's a rough grab. It usually grabs cell tower location first which is wildly inaccurate. Then as GPS grabs more satellites it'll be more accurate, down to a few feet. So what the customers are doing is opening google maps and immediately grabbing a location/pin which is the cell tower location data(not accurate). What they should be doing is opening up google maps, waiting 1-5 minutes until the blue circle in google maps is as small as it's gonna get(usually 10 feet), then grabbing a pin for Matt. Also, you can/should use GPS coordinates instead of pins. They're available in google maps. What this allows you to do is to copy the GPS coords, close google maps, reopen it and input the gps coordinates. This is exactly what matt will see when he puts those GPS coords in. You can be sure he'll get the correct location.

Now Matt, as a great fan of your videos and a proud Canadian (of a certain age) I feel the need to briefly mention that the Gordon Lightfoot song you reference in this video is called the "Canadian Railroad Trilogy". It's about the building of the National railway in Canada as a way to physically connect the entire country from coast to coast. We grew up knowing it was referred to as the National Dream. And I would have never imagined that anybody outside the borders of this country would know any part of this song. Never ever considered it until I saw this video. The fact that you actually kinda know this song is actually just amazing! Thanks! I just had to say something. I never make comments - hate typing! Cheers!

@@CTSFanSam my eyebrow wrinkled when i heard Matt say Gordon Lightfoot had a song about it🤣 I was thinking, Gordon Lightfoot is Canadian.🤣 Granted Gordon Lightfoot did write about the American great lakes freight ship Edmund Fitzgerald, but it sank very close to the international border, but it is on the Canadian side in Lake Superior. Matt bringing up Gordon Lightfoot made Sundown get in my head. One of my favorites of his. 😆😆

WOW! The amazement in Lizzie's face is Priceless! 3:32 LOL

Hey Matt! I've lived up here in Box Elder county my whole life and found that if you even just drive by the location you were out at, Lone Rock, you'll need to wash all your out fits as soon as you can or you'll wake up to a rust pile. It was great to see you guys up here in my neck of the woods. Just wish I would have known! Great episode! Keep em' coming!

Yeah not a quick shower you need to deep clean every crack and crevice and spend a long time washing the belly the salt lake mud is worse than salted roads in the winter

That was a cool video with lots of variety. I remember the centennial of the transcontinental railroad in 1969 but have never gotten to the actual site where it happened. I enjoy when other KZbinrs help out such as Yankum Ropes showing up to provide an assist or any of the other cast of characters including trail mater, FabRats or Robby Layton. It makes what you guys at MORR do really fun.

The actual golden spike should be at that museum, there is one at the Sacramento Railroad museum tat never got used, as I recall there is a silver spike and other spike made of other metals. When the railroads were started they were different widths on the 2 side of the country, I do not know which side became the standard size but perhaps they used the west coast side since there were so many tracks that ran through mad made tunnels in the mountains made by the Chinese laborers or there might have been more track on the east coast since it was started there first... The locomotive that is the most famous in the world was in movies and TV shows such as the Wild Wild West, they had different smoke stack for the different shows and movies, it is in the museum at Jamestown, Ca. It went to the Sacramento Railroad museum to get a new boiler several years ago and was put back to work giving train rides!

Surprised and glad you heard of that Gordon Lightfoot song Matt! It was actually about the Canadian Trans Continental railroad which was completed about 20 years after yours.....but very much the same idea! Keep the great videos coming 👍

[@Callie83]

I didn't have the heart to point that out. I just thought it was pretty cool that he even knew who Gordon Lightfoot was. I guess he didn't know that he was from Canada.

Came here to say the same thing

Good singing Matt.

@@freemansgarage Considering that Joanie Mitchell , Ian Tyson , and Neil Young are all Canadians , that is quite the praise .

Man, Trevor sure looks a lot younger without the beard! 😄 Fun video, y'all.

This is a family show Matt, Yes please buy the lady some pants. You guys and gals are great thanks for all the help you do for your community.

[@timothygeiger8271]

Good to see Lizzie on a rescue again😊 Matt definitely owes Lizzie a pair of jeans, it happened during a pull out. Of course we know that Matt would buy her new pants anyway😆😆

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

Lizzy should rip out the other knee then she can sell them online as "designer" jeans. That ought to pay for a couple of pairs of new jeans.

[@richardgibson4010]

I agree BUY THE PANTS MATT

[@arnteriksen5773]

Matt has to pay for new jeans, her jeans where broken when she worked for Matt.......

[@Lunentucker]

Let's go with "recovery" and shy away from "pull out".

[@swinesavant]

If Matt is getting her new pants, he should get her some good quality work pants, that will resist tearing.
