Shirley here: I would love a tee shirt from Mountain Man Mike!

[@kathypage1674]

Lets roll so ready for a road trip sounds like a winner Getting ready set. ... On the road again Thanks for sharing

[@wendyphillips8424]

I did not realize how soothing that low growl of the diesel is going down the roadway. Diesel trucks and driver move nearly everything in the USA and the world. We need diesels, drivers, and diesel fuel. We did drive from Southern California across the I-15 to the I-80 to the I-90 a few years ago to south Dakota and back. We passed thousands and thousands of trucks on the interstates and highways. Trucks truly keep the USA running.

Thanks for the channel helped keep me calm recovering from my surgery

[@childoftheking7143]

...as always... LOVE RIDING WITH YOU MT MAN MIKE!! Thank you for sharing personal stuff with your passengers. I watch all your videos over and over again, waiting for a new one... today was a TREAT - God bless you brother- stay safe

[@davidboehringer5750]

I'm here and ready to ride. Lets go...

[@colinmyers8841]

no road you are on is ever boring, mile upon mile is great, commentary is fab,,

[@redsorgum]

Noice.....Noice...👍👌

[@scanadaze]

I drove truck in the military. Came out and only drove for a short time with one truck company. Grain and flat bed. Yet as you said. Without the automatic. There would not be many trucker's out there. The truck my ex boss put me on was old but I still loved it. An coffin sleeper. Old Kenworth with an 13 speed. Perfect for the hills and mountain's. When he gave me my test driving test. The only thing he told me at the end of my test was this. Now I want you to only touch the clutch at the start and end. Never touch the clutch any other time. For the time I worked for him. I did just that. Until this day I do the exact same thing when I can find an manual transmission vehicle. The very best driving lesson I have ever gotten. Even to this day. I can put an trailer any where I want it. I watch also bonehead Truckers and lol all over the place on how the none trucker's drive. Yet, they still higher them. Take care.

[@warnerknobe7911]

Your videos and commentary are so relaxing and enjoyable! Keep up the great work and the longer the drive the better!

[@virginiaswafford7078]

A beautiful piece of the country. Now thats what i call snow.thanks for the videos. All we had was straight shifts no automatic i still love the sound that they make. Brings me back to good memories. I miss the road so thank you for all that you do and the nice safe ride.i would buy a tee shirt ive collected them for many years and all my travels. Looking forward to see what you come up with. Be safe until next time.

[@sheilaw2521]

2 great videos in a day. Thanks for ride along Mike. Your getting close to 50 thousand subs. Congrats. Keep the videos coming. Take care. ✌🙂💕

[@Smartychase]

Surpassed 50 thousand I just found him yesterday and subbed after about half an hour's watching suppose lots are doing the same

[@anne-marieolka6540]

I have missed listening to your running commentary and conversation and seeing the magnificent country you drive thru. All the back roads are mesmerizing. I LOVE IT! YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO. You are a natural story teller. It's been a busy 3 months with a change in my lufe. Was raising my grandson for 3 years while Mommy finished her Masters Degree in Civil Structural Eng. In May she finished and graduated and was taken on by the company she had an internship for while in school. And was eirking from home because of Covid. So she was able to keep an eye on my grandson. So she sent me back to my house. I was staying the week with her and my son and go home on weekends. I did that for 3 years. The day Mark " Graduated from VPK" SHE had already graduated from the University the week before. So she yold me I could go home now and have my life back. I never felt like I had let mh life go. So I oacked up everything in my room, loaded my car on Friday Mark's last day of school I picked him up from school, took him home and left, going back to my house. My son was shocked! But I told him I don't stay where I'm not wanted. She wants me gone so I'm gone. It's the onlh way you will have peace and no tension in your home. That was the middle of May...this is the middle of September. My grandson is very upset cause He misses his Grandma. My son tells me hd asks about me all the time. When is Grandma coming back? I miss her. I had him over for an ovetnite one Friday night in July. He didn't want to go home. I was invited by my son for Labor Day weekend. Mark and I played all weekend. So I've had to rearrange my life again and hadn't had time to watch many you tube shows. Last night I started watching this episode and fell asleep so this afternoon I went back and restarted it. The scenery is just breathing and your humor...I missed that. You fill a void in my life and my thirst to travel. You are a blessing. Thank you for letting me RIDE SHOTGUN and I think T-shirts, drink cozies and ball caps with your logo and designs is a great idea. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Hopefully you have doged the Covid bullet. This country owes its truckers a tremendous debt for keeping things moving during this stupid government shutdown. You have kept the country fed and butts clean and medicines on the shelves and life for most Americans at a some what normal pace because you kept America moving. Thank you and I'm looking forward to seeing the changing colors of fall, the snow covered mountains of winter, and the fresh green of spring in the mountains thru yoyr eyes while RIDING SHOTGUN. I LOVE RIDING SHOTGUN. So you take care, protect your family and stay safe. Looking forward to catching up on back episodes and seeing new ones. Anne-Marie Olka Titusville Florida

[@terrijensen349]

I LOVE THIS ROAD. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TRIP AND YOUR THE BEST TOUR GUIDE. I APPRECIATE YOUR EASY WAY OF TELLING THE STORIES OF THE ROAD AND ESPECIALLY YOUR COMMENTS ON THE SNOWFLAKES..LOL BLESSINGS TO YOU

[@lynleewilliams2132]

Once again it is a pleasure to ride with you. I liked that part where the road was clear and then the snow road without clipping the video... Thank you ... Hello from clear and warm Indiana , unusual for the season as of 12/27/21

[@Ladyviking77]

Oh my goodness Mike it's so Beautiful thank you for the ride along. Love, Love, Love riding shotgun with you and letting us know exactly where we are. Thank you again.

[@lindagparrish5839]

About the tee Shirt just let us know, when,,,

[@suzanneb9989]

Wow. Great videos today. Would really love to see this route in summer. The views have to be stupendous. Btw watched both all the way through.

[@carlking4640]

Watched it all the way through. Fantastic

[@qwillaqwincy]

Glad you took this route as the landscape so far is beautiful. It looked interesting to drive as well. Yes, please, to merch. Vid length is never anything to apologize for unless it's too short ;-) And don't underestimate what subs/viewers would like to see. No matter how much you have driven certain routes, we've only seen them a small amount in comparison. Bring it on! And any section you think you have nothing new to say about... is perfect for Relaxation Highway (which I love, btw)! ✌

[@ramonasannar5549]

Hi Mountain Man Mike! I Love riding in the snow with you. You are such a awesome driver. Stay safe.

[@lorenlieder9789]

Hey Mike I have been up and down Hiway 141 many times. Most of the time from the north going south to Norwood , Nucla and Naturita with loads of fertilizer . Nitrate from Cheyenne Wyo and 18-46 Phosphate from Rock Springs Wyo that is the phosphate that comes from the mine north of Vernal that you go by sometimes. It is sent to Rock Springs to be processed into fertilizer.

[@wendylabonte9330]

Just found your channel....cannot imagine how much info I have lost not following your channel til now.....I have only commented because I am so happy to have found someone who feels the way I do about the "little snowflakes" that will someday run this country......what a thought! I could rant forever but not enough time....enjoy your channel thanks!!!

[@patriciawarner1274]

So glad I found this. Took this route many times when I lived in Montrose.

[@mikeservais888]

Thanks mmm that was cool ride along. Cool highway. Be safe out there peace!!!

[@markmark2080]

It's a GREAT drive on a motorcycle in late spring, I glad I'm home and not driving your rig right now., best wishes

[@hootwho3640]

Awesome Sunday morn ride! Leapin' ahead. Thanks!!

[@jackball4201]

Getting ready for the drought while Mike is on vacation. Yeah vacation, moving, oh well many hands make light work. Always wondered about 141 now i know. Thanks for the great rides, Mike. Be safe ENJOY!!!

[@stephenconnolly4821]

just adore all your videos

[@AlisonFort]

Thank you for another great video Mike - count me in for a T😀

[@alsup11]

Another great video, love you talking through the videos. I watched a couple of relaxation highway but prefer these. Stay safe.

[@m.j.rowland6120]

Mike, you may already know this, but the town name "Egnar" is proof of what great imagination the town founders had; the story is that they wanted to name their town "Range", but that name was already taken, so they basically said, "Let's just name it Range spelled backwards"- and that's where the town name came from! ; )

[@ronaldhall2489]

Really enjoy riding with you seeing the land.

[@bonniewalker6340]

Enjoyed this scenery very much.

[@David-yh5po]

Nice thanks again for sharing this video with us.

[@athollmcnicoll256]

That sure was an interesting route you took there Mike and in summer could prove to be a fairly scenic route and of course to break it up speed wise , restrictions and commentary that we as your viewers have come to know makes you our preferred driver - so thanks again.

[@sweettrubble4635]

I've been binge-watching ever since I discovered his channel about a week ago. 😏🙂

Mike...HGV in UK means .. Heavy Goods Vehicle.. Love your channel, drove for 33 years myself, America looks really beautiful from the cab of your truck. Used to love driving in Scotland..2 really beautiful countries.

[@sharijohnson4024]

Love riding shotgun with you.... you put me to sleep faster than the videos made to put you to sleep. I think it's your voice and the motion! Thank you do much!

[@workonitm8]

Thanks for the ride along.

[@david3551]

I'm here because of the old B.J. and the Bear TV show. I don't mind being the pet chimp, Bear.

#99 Good morning, Mike. I enjoyed riding shotgun on the 141. Beautiful Scenery and a nice pleasant drive, Thanks!

[@fireheartdrum]

thanks for the lift, enjoying riding along

[@cwat450]

Yeah we got hammered with snow at times in Cortez today Nice drive there. Driven it lots in the last 30 years

[@joannford5860]

I have traveled many roads but I like riding shotgun with you are careful and very informational that most of us don't know as you been on the road many years

[@Mtnred738]

You went through my old home area today. Highway 141/145 . Making me homesick

[@DavidWilliams-hv7so]

This is one of the best on your channel

[@bopace9374]

I am in awe!!!!!!!!!!

[@karram6735]

I was looking at your other video when you drove through that snow storm 3 weeks ago. Very good driving. I drove a big uhaul thru a blizzard from oregano to Washington. White out conditions, but nothing like what has happened two days ago.

[@elizabethkennedy237]

Goodmorning M.M.Mike hope you're haveing a great day. I prefer the laminated page's of atlas and or road maps. And it's awesome seeing all of the weather changes in such short distances. It's something I've never given it much thought to. And I love it. Looking forward to your Mountain Man Mike tshirt. I want one for sure. I thoroughly enjoy the road trips. For retirement I want to spend it on road trips with camper. Love driving in snow. It's way too beautiful. I love the view's of freezing rain the day after. Wouldn't attempt driving in it without chains only if I had to drive in it. The only think scary is thick fog where you can't see more than 3 ft in front of you. Had to pick up my son from work. 20 minute drive took me almost 2 hours at 5 to 10 mph. Drove by a parked semi will full light's. Couldn't even see it till I was almost beside it. Took longer because I missed my exit. I'm guessing fog is impossible to drive through with semi. And you keep driving in and out of snow. It amazes me. Enjoyed riding shotgun, loving the view, the sky is amazing. Later M.M.Mike. hope your daughter does well with it.

[@apower912]

Heavenly day. She wrote a book!

Just found this site today. Been bend watching most of day. You get those t shirts you were talking about, I'll Buy 2. One for me and one for my son, an old ex trucker. Best of luck out there. Take care love.

[@lowellulrich3674]

Love your show.. I have driven truck for over 30 years and I remember when the Jake was optional. I went down Eisenhauer like you with 80k and I got herdown the hill in one piece. Had that been a driver with ess experience that truck would have been in the runaway ramp.

[@cpenhaligon]

Good day to Mike stay safe 🙏 love your videos 📹

Its about not making money off the devils brew, and answering to that on judgement day!

[@arneservatius1982]

Awesome!🤗🇺🇸 Michigan

[@wendyphillips8424]

Growing up in northeastern Wisconsin, I remember driving on frozen clear roadways in the winter with the snow blowing over the pavement. It is very safe because the roadway is clear, clean, and not slippery at all. Maybe the worse is higher air temps with freezing rain hitting the frozen pavement that creates ice if temps are very near freezing for longer periods of time. We did not see too much freezing rain in northeaster Wisconsin. Usually it was warm or freezing cold with little freezing rain turning to ice on roadways.

[@dsanchez9703]

Bro Trucking is so frkn cool wish I could do it but I dont have da strength or courage, keep on always

[@shadowbanned69]

Yea..it's not what it used to be...shame...it was once one of the most prestigious blue collar jobs...what a waste

[@dsanchez9703]

@@shadowbanned69 yes brother, I know what u mean. I live in Chicago and We dont get out much but we took a roadtrip to Cali in 2013 and I had never paid attention to how beautiful the west is and these trucking videos remind me of it. It is awsome to get to be on the road a few days and then get to come home for a few, I know it is hardwork and danderous but awsome non the less
