[@thomasedwards2754]

T? hank you very much Sir. I lived in Glenwood for 5 years with my parents in the late 60s early 70 . as a kid I rode my bike up and down CO 82 Thank you form a Disabled veteran

[@lynnlanders8453]

I am learning so much about Colorado from these trips Mike takes. Those igloo shaped huts at Restone were "coking huts" where the miners fired the coal from the mines into coal for industrial and home use, their kilns got up to 2400 degrees! Wow!

[@aliceblanton4911]

Good for this 70 year old grandma to see places I’ve seen years ago!

[@NapierNimbus]

Wonderful journey riding gently along, just stunning scenery and going through the narrow ever so deep passes, wow. You do see some fabulous sights.

[@arlenespringstead6309]

Beautiful. Thanks for letting me ride along

[@jackball4201]

Just got home from a long day to hop in the truck and go for another peaceful drive through our beloved mountains. Most annoying thing at night is the whine of a mosquito somewhere in the room and you just know that one is going to bite you in the ear. Thanks Mike only way to relax. Be safe and keep em coming.

[@bluemoon-pm5hv]

I'm ready set go👍✌❤ beautiful country, this is fun,thank you kindly for the ride along:) Sorry I don't say much,I'm enjoying the view. The mountains are just magnificent. I can't imagine how hard it was to make that road,mercy. Awe,I don't wanna go home,lol oh well,I'm new to your channel so I'm sure I will catch another ride✌❤

[@mikedobison9566]

Great trip awesome Scenery Colorado is truly a beautiful state love your videos

[@johnwyoder]

Coming back from Phoenix in 2017, we spent the night in Glenwood Springs. The elevated sections of the interstate are so unusual outside of a city. Beautiful country! I love Colorado.

[@MaryB-ps8lg]

I've been through a lot of Colorado but never in the Hiwy 133 area. That area is gorgeous.

[@weekendlovinggypsy1737]

Ditto

[@jeffrygwall5072]

When you are filming from here to there I would appreciate you filming all the way there instead of stopping outside of town. I enjoy you travels, especially with the lock down....... PEACE! Thanks, Jeff

[@joanderson9730]

I agree--even if the video gets longer

[@elenaceleste4363]

Back roads to visit soon thank you Mike! Colorado is a beautiful State to visit I love the snowy mountains. Keep on trucking I am enjoying riding shotgun and learning watching the adventure.

[@WVRailroadPapa]

Beautiful scenery. It was amazing to see how the territory changes on Hwy 133 before you get to Carbondale.

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Thank you for not only showing us beautiful places we would never have seen, but, and for taking the time to edit and all to get them to us Central California watching

[@leonorcummings6616]

I love the states of Colorado and Utah. It's the most beautiful I have been. I chose be in the mountains than on the ocean. Thank you Riding Shotgun for this beautiful video. I am so impressed with the natural sceneries of the USA. It is really a God's blessed country along with Israel.

Great video Mike! Thank you 😊! PEACE!

[@thebeardedcustodian135]

I haven't been through glenwood canyon in many years .it surely beautiful. I was like a little kid telling my wife and children LOOK I'VE BEEN THERE.

[@retiredandpreppingquilting2350]

This a beautiful drive. On the east side of the Smokey Mountains there is a highway that follows a river. I have been down is a couple of times. It is also beautiful. I want to go back and drive it again. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@bluddybignurk]

Thanks for the ride Mike

[@roadsexplore]

That was a very beautiful river valley drive, enjoyed it a lot! Hope to drive there someday, Colorado is one of my favorite states.

[@sherrymilhon5377]

Thanks for the ride Mike, See you next trip. Stay safe out there.

[@path6861]

You just gave me a ride home! I grew up in Basalt. Camped on McClure pass a couple times every summer. Was just in Glenwood last August. Thanks for the ride, stay safe.

[@christinearmstrong852]

Hey there MMM, wish we had more snow to make the Colorado River more beautiful raging downstream..the scenery is awesome..thank you..until next time..☮ peace ✌

[@cherylgarretson3441]

[@charleshanna3123]

Juat Want To Say Thanks Mike For Amazing View Awesome Video Happy Trucking

[@robertemmons2260]

Thanks for the ride Mike! I haven't been down that highway (133) in years.

[@karenecurran7895]

A quiet scenic mountain drive. TY. MMM

[@koreahighway]

It is a beautiful scenery.

[@mikemclean6849]

cool. thanks for the tour!

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Always a pleasure riding with you Mike , beautiful scenery and less of the hassle and bustle of freeway traffic. Cops over here could have a field day booking all them cars that switch lanes without signalling. Cheers.

[@geneharden9265]

I am once again enjoying the magnificent view of your travels. Your camera shots makes it real like watching it on a flat screen 📺. Keep them coming. Also did you stop anymore to go fishing. Happy travels and God bless.

[@edwardmounsey9208]

Hello Mike: Doesn’t look as if there is enough runoff to raise lake Meade at all. I was hoping there would be more. Spring runoff almost over? Maybe next year if coming winter has more snow. Beautiful drive, thank you for posting, see you next trip. Edward

[@stuartroland9605]

Hello Mike ,great video east bound on I 70. River was high not good for fishing . Take care . Peace . 👍👍😊✌

[@mjmohn]

Hi Mike. Next time you stop for fishing, burn a citronella candle or two while your out. The skeeters will not enter your cab when you climb in. You can get good sized candles by the case on Amazon.That is what I do and it works well. Safe Travels and Happy Trails.

[@jackterry7664]

That elevated hwy thru the Glenwood Canyon took years to build, and many millions of $...

[@tazmod7272]

Hi Mountain Man Mike. Pretty country. The beginning stretch of your video reminds me of Highway 12 from Orofino, Idaho to Missoula, Montana.

[@yeyodelatorre5325]

Love.. colorado.. saludos.. from México..

Hermosos paisajes de Colorado... Saludos desde México

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Thanks for the ride!

[@jipsiemune]

Beautiful country ! Bless your heart yes those dam skitter bites are horrid we got them bad around here ..i put peroxide on them and than some Neosporin and band aid it seams to help ...i been driving for Grubhub and when i feel myself getting stressed i just remind myself of what u said “ you can drive it stressed or relaxed and driving it relaxed feels a lot better :-)

[@cg4849]

I see paved bike baths and it reminds me of Avon, CO

[@TXLow]

When you first started the video (at the base of McClure Pass), you passed a couple of waterfalls on your left (west side). In Redstone those were coke ovens for coal mining. I lived in this area for awhile

[@anthonyamendolia818]

Mike, quick question...we were riding shotgun with you and you were going up a mountain and at one point there were rams, I was telling my sister and she said,, ooooh I would love to see that...well do you think I can find the video! Would you happen to remember where that was, the rams were crossing the road and walked straight up the mountain side, you were going slow so we could see. IT WAS AWESOME!!! Thanks Mike

[@missysten8641]

What a pretty road that is. Wouldn't mind living there.

[@marybelenitchv.118]

Magic Places, so watch your videos Is stay inside with you driving.. AND konwing beatiful North American LANDS Thanks

[@JeremiahHartmanPhotography]

That is such a beautiful area...I love Vail

[@virginiaswafford7078]

That my friend is what you call mother nature at her best.amazing sight stay safe out there so we can ride shotgun with you again. Until next time.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

My Great Nephew is 5 years old. Told my Sister (Gammy to him) he needed some "ME" time. I love kids!

[@anthonyamendolia818]

Kimberly when they want ME time give it to them, they grow up too fast...Sound like the kids love you!

[@Ismael-iw4tm]

Best ride on the inter- Continental high way 🇺🇸😎👏🏾

[@daveyheeren182]

Great Video as always Peace

[@jackball4201]

Hey everyone, back here Nov 22 2021, looking at all the green in the canyon and now driving it looking at all the burn scar from the Grizzley Creek fire and all the damage from rain storms this summer. Things sure do change in a hurry. Be careful out there Mike and we'll see you on YT later. Peace

[@joeljensen9799]

I live here. Beautiful area. Mr Sopris is majestic.

[@joeljensen9799]

MT.

[@winegeek2949]

cruising along that river.... very cool... I can see a truck-mounted spear gun with bio-laser targeting you can launch at fish in that river as you drive along, the GPS tracked spears float the fish to the surface, where your truck-based fishing drone recovers them & flies them back to the roof-mounted cooler on your rolling truck :)

[@jamesheikkinen9793]

"Repel" Lemon Eucalyptus repellent. Pump spray. Sporting goods stores, Walmart, etc. I've used it for the past 2 years fishing in Ontario, and nothing works better, even DEET. The mosquitos wouldn't even light on my skin. For an area repellent used a Thermacell unit in our cabin. Mosquitos never came near us. For fishing way from your tractor, I'd turn on a Thermacell, and hang the unit on the door. I used to live in Littleton, CO, near Deer Creek Canyon Road. We'd fish in Shadow Mountain Reservoir and camp just across the bridge in Hot Sulphur Springs, using hellgrammites as bait from the Colorado River. Thoroughly enjoy your video travels. In the late '60s I worked for a scrap yard, used to drive a 1600 International Loadstar gasser with 5sp main and 3sp brownie. No a/c, trailer dog-tracked 1' curbside, no brakes on trailer. Hauled scrap steel from Santa Maria California to an LA yard, then sucker rod or oilfield pipe to Bakersfield followed by whatever the boss could find back home. It's great to be back on the road with you. Thanks!

[@52rdp7076]

Think he seen your signal, just wanted to ignore it like so many often do. They see a trucks signal, they think it means speed up and block. Seems he likes to use sign language as self expression. LOL! Really enjoy your road footage through the western states. Many thanks!

[@blanetresedder348]

Crystal river, White river is over by Meeker/Craig. Buford rd from Meeker up to Puma Paw, cuts across the mountains to New Castle.

[@blanetresedder348]

You're in my old stomping grounds. I'm from Rifle.

[@DLSWV]

👍😉. Thanks the ride.

[@desertlady1795]

Oh my Mountain Man happy to see you tonight!!!

[@lindaschmidt7897]

Mike we lived at Minden Colorado years ago and this single young man had a successful plumbing business he had to go to Vail into rich area stupid rich man wanted him to park 5 miles from his rich mansion to carry his equipment in his mansion he told the rich guy to keep his mansion. True story. God bless enjoy all your trucking rides keeps us going.the schmidts

[@parsons585]

You mentioned the rich areas hating to see and hear trucks but want what you bring them! I supervised maintenance at WDW for 27 years and we always knew they didn't want to see us, hear us or smell us but wanted their paint pristine, ac temperatures perfect, all lights at max, no roof leaks ever, commodes flushing and drinking fountain water at the perfect temperature! Sounds like what you truckers go through!

[@kurtporter1323]

You're teasing me w/ all those turn outs. Omg!

[@janaburritt6939]

Beautiful drive

[@cleekmaker00]

It's the Crystal, which flows into the Roaring Fork at Carbondale.

[@ckkasjz]

That was a nice ride!

[@joycelondon1639]

Enjoy the ride 👀 you next time

[@uuser5261]

Nice ride thanks Mike

[@mikioni]

🙏🙏 beautiful

[@weremodel]

Oh my gosh! On first glance of the video, MIke, I could have sworn you were heading up to Lolo Pass from Lewiston to Missoula.

[@GBofOH]

I always liked Avon Skin so Soft insect repellent. It sounds like that's what you're referring to. It still is available on Avon's website. I also found it on Amazon.

[@mussongal1232]

What was the name of that bug spray that worked? Have you tried the OFF! clip-on? You can clip it on and just wear it and turn it on when you need it. The refills last 12hours of run time and that is enough time to do several things. I keep one in my car - I live in a swamp - and put it on when I get out so I can get in the house without getting bit. It clears about a 10-' 10' area around you which works fine for working in the garden or mowing. I love this drive - thanks for sharing it.

[@donjudd9372]

for mosquitoes I've found that Vics VapoRub works wonders, seems the bugs aren't overly impressed with this ointment.

[@johnhancock5793]

Wish I was with you on that road on my old Moto Guzzi T3 California

[@jimbateman225]

Mike I looked it up. Those were COKE ovens in Redstone. Started in the 1800's. PEACE

[@MrZeke701]

I have lived in Marble, for the last 25 yrs. A local restoration project has kept them from completely deteriorating.

[@mrHBarry]

thanks for that info, I wondered what they were

[@judithwilber2540]

i notice quite a few mailboxes and driveways,,houses....people live way out there year round? is there a town for supplies close by? interesting

[@walterfink9782]

If you're taking photos or videos, and you want to get rid or cut down on reflections, use a polarizing filter. They can make your videos and photos look like they have never been before. Cut glare from water, clouds in the sky, hot air balloons and a zillion other things. You can adjust how much glare you want to get rid of. I've been using them for 50 years.

[@MrScorebord]

Next year, 2022, to America for 3 months. I-70, east to west, and back I-80 from east and everything in between.

[@qwillaqwincy]

lol @ 29:10. What did the driver of the white car expect you to do?!

[@philliplopez8745]

They are " coking ovens " they were used to coke coal to use as railroad ballast .

[@kathypage1674]

Sooooooo ready for a road trip these walks are getting closer lol help!!!!!! Lol

[@horsecreekid2482]

I watch your videos all the time whenever you have a video up iam up here in Montana and just wanted to let you know if you take B1 vitamins they won’t bit you
