It seems that even when you're in a vast flat region, in the middle of nowhere in places like Nevada, there's always spectacular mountains to be seen in the distance. That's the difference between here and the Australia 'Outback'. We have many very lonely roads but seldom do you see distant mountains. We call them Ranges.

[@singlewidetrailer]

Nevada is called the basin and range stage 💪 the most mountains in the US other than Alaska. So all the roads are down in the basins, surrounded by beautiful ranges!

[@kenhoyer8601]

I understand your whole continent has vast deserts that make Nevada look like a backyard.

[@apolloskyfacer5842]

@@kenhoyer8601 Indeed. In fact, I'd consider Nevada a far more spectacular region. Also, unlike Nevada, the Australian 'Outback' has only a few sealed (Bitumen) roads. The rest are just gravel and dust and often severely 'corrugated'

[@sandramorey2529]

In 1962 I was on my honeymoon with my new husband. We were on a lambretta 135 with all our gear and 2 guitars. Coming from Ely we commenced to Austin. We were 21 & on our way to work in the Civil Rights movement in the South. But we first took a trip around the U.S. We took $100 & we were both singers. So, we hit Austin around 8 pm. We found a funky bar & went in & asked if we could pass the hat and sing. They were thrilled. Not only did we do well, but we met some wonderful Nevada characters. I can't remember names very well, but there was a lady who was the Sheriff, Postmaster, barber and a wonderful artist. She specialized in iddy bitty desert oils. She set us up with a bowlegged cowboy named "Happy Jack" who lived in a trailer at the rodeo arena. We stayed overnight there & slept on hay bales. Next day we asked the lady, who's name I just can't bring up to give my new hubby a haircut, which she did. She also gave us one of her little paintings. She was a wonderful story teller & we loved that. We really hated to leave Austin. We didn't know about the Petroglyphs & left w/o seeing them. But we did camp in a place where the local Indians were harvesting piñon pines & were invited to participate and take some with us. Delicious and great great fun for a couple of youngsters. Thanks for making such a clear lovely video.

Russ, I’m going through a very emotional time with a very sick pet. You have no idea how much your videos are helping me cope. Thank you for sharing your adventures on the road and your calming voice and music help so much.

[@rvertv]

sorry about your pet

[@lauraklotz968]

Hey Carolyn I sure hope that your pet is doing better I've been there done that and it's more emotional than I could ever describe. But rest of have a calming voice in the music is nice and I've traveled all of the United States but I never went really off the interstate just because I was single woman. So I do it via his videos as now I'm retired.

[@ShelleeGraham]

I’m sorry about your beautiful child, pet. They are so special. You’re right, Russ is a calming presence with his narration, beautiful photography, drone work, music and fine research.

[@johnmckenna8989]

Thanks for taking me along, again....At 21:00 the highway cuts right through a massive cemetery and I couldn't believe the size and number of grave markers...Might've been a more interesting walk through than the petroglyphs....( we have gas stations here in Canada called 'Petrocan ', probably no connection, eh...haha ) .....I wonder if there are any well known historical folks buried in that cemetery ? .....( I'm only interested 'cause I'll be moving into one sooner than I'd like.....talk about your permanent RV park ! ..... .haha)

[@yawndave]

Hey Russ, nice to ride shotgun with you today. I love those great Basin & Range vistas where you can see forever. Right at the end of the episode you passed the Austin Cemetery which is worth a stop to check out some really neat decorative gravestones. You said you're spending the night in Middlegate -- there used to be a legendary shoe tree there until some yahoo decided to cut it down. Happy trails!

[@iguanaamphibioustruck7352]

I rode that road about 10 times in the winter, on my sled, the road was covered with packed snow and ice. The Hiskey stage truck had chains and would allow us to hook up on the back of the truck, to the summit. Great fun, great ride all the way through town and beyond depending on how much you wanted to walk back. Dave Hansen, Lived in Austin 33-48 dad was Forest Ranger

[@deusfiatlux5160]

Hi Russ! Just one word “Yey!!!” Always fun riding along with my virtual friend.

[@jerrymerryfield6551]

Very cool looking.thanks for the tour

[@bonnieuptree5691]

I just love the old covered sidewalks . Saw a short span when you were driving through Austin. I especially like the Board Walks. ..once I was hitchhiking and landed in Virginia City, Nevada. I "slept" under an old barn like building near the edge of town. I kept hearing boots walking on the wooden walkway across the street from me. But , every time I looked, there was no one there. Spooky enough to keep me awake most the night.

[@sandratessem9980]

Too cool for school. We drove it back in 1996.

Thank you Russ. Carol is right, Russ is a calming presence with his beautiful photography, drone work, music and fine research.

Can’t imagine days of the Lone Ranger..horseback out in the middle of nowhere! Still enjoying your humor!

[@sueanna_banana]

We drove Hwy 50 from just east of Reno to Utah about 9 years ago ( Great Basin Nat'lPark/Lehman Caves was the best part )....It's a long, long, lonely road across Nevada alright. It's many long hours of driving between each of Russ's videos. Up and down many mountain passes. We always stopped at any cafe's or burger/ice cream joints that were open just to talk to the locals. Not sure if I'd do that drive again. I think once was enough.

[@jpgcne]

I appreciate your efforts, time and dedication to your travels and to take us all along with you to these fantastic places. If by chance you find yourself on the West coast on I-5 or 80 going thru the Sacramento region, I would like to invite you to dinner, my treat and not Denny's of McDonalds.

Thanks again for going to all these places and taking us along.

Nice video, thank you! Love Austin Nevada! The written Egyptian is pictorial as are the Petroglyphs. Moses, who was well educated in the Egyptian culture, was a Hebrew that led the Sons of Jacob also called Israel out of Egypt. They, modern scholars could not understand Egyptian until they discovered the Roseta stone, a Greek translation of the Egyptian! The early Hebrew was somewhat pictorial in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible! Scholarship of the day and later gave us the Hebrew we see today which is called the Alaph-Bet, Alphabet after the first two letters of the Hebrew! Bible Greek is koine meaning common. Hellenistic Greek came later. Languages change but the Alphabets and grammar remain except for style such as punctuation. I am not an authority on Grammar! The Bible says that mankind has been on the Earth about 6,000 years! There is much speculation and conjecture! History and common sense are most interesting. Much Conjecture forces its way and is sourced from prejudice! History and honesty tell us much! Ron PTL USA

Do you believe that humankind has only been on the earth 6,000 years?

[@ronaldclark2624]

@@TreeLBollingTreeMan Yes, I believe that as it is the most reasonable, plausible and most scientific of all the alternatives! The proof for Faith, Trust is in the Bible! The 4 Gospels are the best place to begin reading! The Earth and the universe may however be much older. It is reported that the God of the Bible is Eternal. So, time has no control over Him nor does anything else! He is 100% righteous. Some of His creatures have chosen Evil. We are now in resolution of the Sin problem and have been since Adam and Eve.

🙋‍Hello Russ! The petroglyphs were interesting to see. Austin is so quiet. Not a soul to be seen until you got to the end of town passing the gas station. I didn't notice a restaurant or a store for groceries. I think the stars would be beautiful at night. Sparkly (like diamonds).

They should have named the State "VACUUM" instead of "NEVADA". The State is so empty. I bought a "Delorme" Road Atlas of Nevada and, apart from Clark County in the South, there is nothing anywhere. This is truly "in the middle of nowhere". When I drove Rte 50, all I saw was the asphalt of the road and empty vastness all around, no ditches, no electrical lines, nothing. Your video is redeeming my first impressions dating back to the 1980s, showing us nice inhabitated areas here and there. But, and it's a big "but", there is no McDonald's in Austin, what a pity !!
