Eastbound and Down I-70 Over Vail Pass During Autum Colors.. Winter Around the Corner.

[@careybark2344]

I have to tell you about my Mom and what your channel does for her! About a year and a half ago my mom had to have her right leg amputated due to diabetes. She is wheelchair bound and cant leave her house unless I can take the time off to drive down to see her. My Mom Debra A. from Springfield Missouri just feels so free and with your videos! She feels like she is sitting in the front seat with you. You help her get away and out of the house! Thank you so much. She just loves you! Next time can you say hi to her when you go through a trip of a beautiful mountain pass!!

[@MrFloppy131]

Sorry about your Mom, but Riding Shotgun does not answer or like any replies on here

[@everenigmatic5805]

Another adventure. Once again, thank you.

[@ramonasannar5549]

[@evastill96]

I used to live in Aurora for 10 years and traveled with me ex all over Colorado, NM, Utah, Wyoming. I live in Oklahoma now and miss Colorado so much. By watching your videos- it makes me feel like I am back there. Safe travels👍

CBS Sunday Morning did a wonderful story on Aspen tree foliage, esp. in neighborhood of Aspen! Love your travels Mike.

[@ponomohometogo3908]

The wealth in the Vail Valley is truly stunning... I remember riding through that area in the 60s and it was barely going.... the development has been huge...big bucks $$$ Very beautiful area and the skiing is great 👍

[@terrysaint7629]

Truly awesome scenery. Thanks for the journey. Stay safe from over the pond.

[@tomgray6123]

Well there just isn’t anything like a Riding Shotgun video ! Question: Which is more important ? 1) To have coffee in the truck. Or 2) To have beer at home , I ponder these things 🤔

[@angeliquebelen8529]

"You can take this job and summit!" I like that!

[@neilbethell2299]

Amazing scenery 1 minute into the video

Are you using a dash cam? I'm not sure which to buy???

[@lisahenke5027]

Or GoPro?

[@ellenchapman9981]

We were just in Colorado September 29-30, and drove I-70 from Colorado Springs to grand junction. Loved the aspens and the scenery. Gorgeous state! Glad to have found your channel - happy to experience your driving from my chair!

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Good morning! Enjoyed hearing about your progress on the new shed. Seems as we age our minds & bodies go through a separation. You want to do, but your body has other plans. Aleve may help with some of those aches if you can take it. The windows in the shed would be a good idea for ventilation. I put 3 in mine. 2 on west side brings in a good breeze in summer if I'm working on a project. The "1" on North side, I can leave partially up a little during summer to keep fresh air coming in. It's in an area rain won't come in, & it's only up 2-3". I love hearing you talk, & riding shotgun with you to see the beautiful scenery you see. Enjoy the rest of your day as best as you can. I don't know how some of these drivers today get a license. Peace be unto you as well.

[@alsup11]

Enjoyed the scenery, stay safe and have a blessed day.

[@jefftischler7422]

When I built my log cabin home we used Pella windows, no where close to those prices. Plus we had blinds in between the panes of glass. Saved alot of money because you don't need window treatments to cover the windows. And they are very energy efficient.

[@vivirelmomento]

Muy buena ruta... Gracias por el vídeo. Saludos 🇦🇷 colega.

Great footage... Stay safe!

[@philglover2973]

This was a pretty trip. Thank you for the view.

[@ralphturner3798]

I just found your channel and I must tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Each video I've seen contains a nice mix of road video, and your talking. BTW, I drove a semi for a week back in 1975 in New York and Vermont.

[@angeliquebelen8529]

Thanks for your nuggets of knowledge on port and starboard and automatics.

[@sylviareynolds8463]

Beautiful country. Be safe. Thanks for the video.

Never get tired of this ride don't care the season. Snow on the grass this morning in NW Colorado, roads wet at 6500' now at 6:30 pm Wednesday Oct 13 cloudy and dry. Snow coming later tonite. So Casper snowed out eh? Its coming, time to relearn how to drive in the snow and ice. Be safe out there Mike. Still lookin for the chickn!!

[@mikeymc3094]

I love the snow America gets We get 2 inches of the white stuff in England and no joking Jack the country grinds to a halt Its laughable

[@jackball4201]

@@mikeymc3094 Well the cities even when it snows, man oh man. Mike can share a few stories. Oh the horror!!

[@ricbrowne3249]

Another great drive Mike trees have started dropping there leaves takes a bit of color away oh well that's normal "aye" you keep safe now cheers mate "RB" downunder

[@steamhard]

Looking forward to your winter videos. I’m hooked on those. Have watched previous one twice.

[@bornn68]

Mr. Mike windows are easy to install it is basically four screws to install an little foam or insulation of your choice and some caulking. Shop around you can buy them directly from a manufacturer. You may be able to buy them a few at a time or all together and pick them up at will call. Even if you have to change window framing with 2x or 1x4 and window casing is easy. If you can build a shed you can install windows over winter at your leisure.

[@jamesa.7604]

The more I watch your videos, the more I want to do a road trip and see this Amazing Country. Thanks for the scenic views and conversation. Thanks also for passing on the knowledge and experience. I continue to learn something new every day. Safe Travels and wish you well on the shed building. That did sound a might steep what they want to charge to install those windows. How about them installing the more difficult ones and maybe have someone else do the others or maybe eliminate some of those windows? Just a thought.

[@angeliquebelen8529]

Hiya Shotgun..I really like riding along side with you..I hadn't seen a video of yours since my first comment but I have been thinking about ya..I finally was able to join you this evening and you have put a "KOOL-AID SMILE" on my face, thank you.

[@ralphturner3798]

RE remembering which side of a boat is port: Years ago my father taught me the following sentence, which talks about a sailor named Red: Red left port going to the sea. Not only does the sentence remind us that port is on the left side of the ship, it also tells us that, when you are on a river flowing down towards the sea [ocean] you keep the red buoys to the left. Dad was a smart cookie.

[@alantorrance6153]

Port and Starboard: "There is no PORT wine LEFT".

[@kcountrycorvettes]

One thing I notice about livestock hauler rigs is that more often than not,the tractors are almost always Peterbilts and they’re usually really nice trucks. The 2 sheep haulers you passed are prime examples. The trailers are pretty sweet too.

Thoroughly enjoying your video’s Mike . I posed a question to you not to long ago about making a video with you in it so your followers can see our driver and must say we look forward to listening to your comments about your travels, I know I do. I Be safe and keeping you in my prayers for safe driving .

[@jdcamc]

Now I know which side of the boat I got seasick on - thanks, Mike!!

[@andtheCradle]

Good Morning good Morning, Mike!👍🤠🚛🇺🇲👋

[@deepteal3935]

Check to see if you have a company called "Window World" where you live. They measure, custom size and install your windows. Very good windows and a reasonable price. I'm in Florida and my double pane widows have kept the heat out for years now. I was shocked to my core when I got a huge gigantic quote from a big name company. My mind was blown by the sky high amount they quoted. Good luck. Love riding with you! You are anamazing travel companion!

[@kimfrommn7162]

Mike, I had "Window World" replace my windows 2 years ago and I do not have any complaints. Anderson's estimate was $10,000.00 dollars higher for the same job as "Window World". My heat bill the last two winters were about quarter lower each month. Plus, I do not have to put up the scotch window anymore to prevent heat loss through the windows! I would check around before settling with Anderson's on replacing your windows, that's is you are looking for a lower estimate! I really enjoy riding with you. I wish all the truckers I come in contact when I am on the highway p, were you! I very much trust your driving! I was in Colorado 2 Springs ago driving home from Phoenix where I picked up for myself a 2005 Buick LaCrosse. I spent a week traveling through Colorado, and the scenery was awesome! So I really do appreciate you taking us through this beautiful state! Take Care! 😊 ❤️

[@jonnaprodoehl1247]

Thanks for the ride! Love the views of the aspens and snow!

[@lockednloaded7830]

Wow they are proud of their windows. I buy mine at the local lumber yard they get me any size any style any brand. I would never have dreamed of charging somebody that kind of money to replace windows. I guess I've been missing out

[@natureloverworld8409]

Nice ride big brother thank you

[@dixien6601]

That’s an Extremely Outrageous price on windows!! We always have installed our own-Not difficult!! And we always look for a good reasonable price! ( I have custom ordered also- but the prices have never been crazy!) Your quote is Far from reasonable!!! We have built and remodeled several places. Trust me -You could do this🤗

[@mikeservais888]

Thanks for the ride along MMM pretty peace!!!

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Mike !!! Do they have a ""Champion Window"" Sales in your area as we have them installed at our house ! they are Thermo pane with the tilt in cleaning so you Don't have to be on a ladder to clean the outside !! They have a good Quality Control on their workmanship as they have a warranty on them !! if you have a problem ,, you call in the # on the window & they will replace it !! Enjoyed the ride as always & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Hey Mike reference your nautical observance a Ship sails on the surface of the seas, a Boat drives under water, so is classed as a Submarine - least that is the folklore over here in the UK. Just in case you are interested or anyone watching this thinks Boats are surface craft. Nice scenery as usual and the first hint snow fall is just around the corner, where is my sledge? Cheers the Noo from Scotland.

have 10 windows in our place, had milgard ultra premium fiberglass frames installed. 15,000 ca-chings.

[@boxerfortyfour1153]

The phase "east, west, south or north bound and down" was how truckers logged off the CB back in the 70's.

[@rickfarina]

Hey Mike, thought you bought the house with daughter and hubby, so how come you do all the work and pay out the money too! Just saying that it should be shared....

[@scottp4862]

Mike, you should drive a Tesla model 3 or y just to get an idea of the acceleration, it is awesome. The torque is amazing.

[@katielin2379]

Gosh, I need a road trip to see some fall colors. Let's Go Brandon and Newscum has the gas prices jacked though. Might have to splurge and take the motorcycles with us up 395.

[@DD-bn2mx]

been a while, but liked it better when I could see the mirrors better.

[@JM-ig4ed]

So.... MMM - please chime in on your thoughts about the constant reports of driver shortages - and the problems drivers actually have dealing with California regs for independent truckers and what I hear about truckers missing appointment times at the docs and having to reschedule sometimes week or more later.

[@angeliquebelen8529]

Mountain Man Mike Howdy! Peace!

[@ranbymonkeys2384]

There's a difference between a trick to it and skill that's for sure. Even then, they need programmed, built, maintained. EDIT: If you are looking at the bow of the boat is that from inside or outside?

[@chekyerego]

inside. Port left and red, starboard right and green.

[@stevewintermute195]

Probably Lowe’s lot cheaper than Anderson even with their contract installers-are you getting triple pane?

[@lyndacompton1846]

Good for you holding off on the windows

[@paulfluskey2706]

Great video as always, wish that you would post more but if you can not that's fine, just one question I would like to ask what happened to the drone?

Sorry Mike missed this for a day I am back driving trucks because of a driver shortage UK John

Who’s Brandon?

Good Stuff👍🏿😀

[@stephenhudson6543]

And also because the less air to reflect the heat back down to you and the mountain slopes reflect it back at a different angle and not straight up

[@davidjacques3993]

That is called ' regenerative braking ' kind of works like a jake brake in reverse when you let off the pedal even without hitting the brake. I don't know exactly how it works but a cousins car has it. They are going to have to come up with trucks that drive themselves because fewer and fewer drivers out there that know how to drive including four wheeler drivers. Keep the hammer down and the shiny side up ! PEACE !
