Steamboat Springs Colorado to Grand Junction, CO via Hwy 13. Oh Man.. Did I Mess Up??

Films October 8th 2019

[@finleyfendt3750]

Another drive we are familiar with. My wife is from Oak Creek Colorado and we have driven these roads many, many times. In the old days I even flew to the Yampa Valley Airport many times shortly after it was open and receiving airline flights. Thanks us for the ride.

I went to Steamboat around 4 years in a row for the vintage motorcycle races they held there in September in the 80's. Fantastic event.

[@scottbloomfield2564]

Grew up in meeker haven't been to meeker in 5 years. Hadn't seen steamboat in 30 yrs let alone Hayden, thanks for the memories.

[@lesd9783]

Well Mike, as usual, beautiful scenery and great video! Sure was good to see Steamboat Springs in the video; it's been years since I've been to Steamboat. Yes, I figure that we're in for a long cold wet winter this winter season and hoping that you'll be able to do some great videos of winter driving. Catch you in the next video and as always, be safe and happy trucking trails to you!

[@jackterry7664]

Years for me too! Love that area, and the drive...

[@SiriusStarGazer]

I love ALL your vids especially when you pass through those small towns and mountains...!!!!

[@mikeservais888]

LOEEN, I CALLED SHOTGUN!!

[@neeterb5584]

When you passed the oversize load, it reminded me of an accident they had on Hwy 50 in the canyon near Texas Creek between Canon City and Salida. A flatbed hauling an oversize bulldozer grazed the side of a gas tanker going the other way. Of course there was an explosion that engulfed a car carrying 5 that was following the tanker. It was horrible.

[@BIGBUDDY291]

Waneta Boyce yes I remember that, i lived in Texas Creek when that happen.

[@pheleant]

How long ago was that?

[@CosmicStargoat]

Steamboat Springs. If you are ever there, don't miss Mahogany Ridge Brewery & Grill. It's always slammed, but you will not have to wait long. This place is simply the best with dipping sauces to die for. You can't go wrong with anything you order. There are two bars, so if you have to wait, just relax, have a drink and absorb the delicious aromas of what will soon be coming your way. 5 STARS! Don't miss it!

[@therjgray3429]

Nice vid. Memories of driving up from Montrose to GJ and then over to Denver for my monthly logistics run for the Colorado Army Guard. Always had the weather forecasts down to the minute so I wasn’t caught up in the snow storms and getting stuck.

[@mpstenz3520]

I love the countryside you travel. Been out there many times driving a motorcoach in winter and summer...... nice job....

[@morgankendricks3166]

relaxing videos always , drive safe and thank you .

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Thanks Morgan..☮️

Woot colorado is stunning holly dhittt

[@thecman26]

Well at least you didn't go down 131, I took that once on vacation from Steamboat back to Glenwood Springs, well I didn't drive but it was scary as hell! I slept most of the way. Can't stand high places personally! You're a better man than I!

[@oldlady6229]

My husband loved this video as he went to college in Speedboat Springs in 1970-1971, in fact, he caught a glimpse of it on the right side of the road and up a hill. We were lucky to stop to see his college in 2009. We actually caught it before they tore down his dorms. We were allowed to go in to look (everything was ripped apart) and he showed me how his room faced the ski jump. He was surprised you didn't mention the ski jump as that is a big deal for the town. He was on mountain rescue while going to college and also worked at the Safeway store. My husband used to climb the mountain where it looked like a plateau. I think he said something about hub (?). It was hard to hear your conversation as my husband was telling me his memories. He went to school with some very rich and famous (through the families) people. Oh and about your extra palet my husband caught the one marked Steamboat Springs. I saw it said Aurora on the top label. After we replayed video, I too, could see Steamboat Springs. Well at least you didn't have to go back to deliver it.

Hermoso recorrido gracias por el viaje

[@jackterry7664]

Ups! missed Meeker!. Use to drive hwy 13 on my motorcycle a lot. Sure lots of deer on that Hwy! Once a car hit a moose out there. Not a good results.

[@dagbesud51]

Beautiful place always love to watch ur video

[@ElCapitan1718]

Thank you for sharing this video. It’s great to see that the former D&RGW railroad branch is still active. There has been a significant decline in coal loadings from the local mines. When I was a child, there was a passenger train from Craig to Denver.

[@urieljurado1079]

EVERYTIME YOU ARE DRIVING UP HIGH MOUNTAINS WITH RIVERS GOING DOWN ASIDE TO THE ROAD OR OFF THE ROADS THE VIDEO IS GREAT. WHEN DRIVING IN TOWNS LIKE STEAMBOAT SPRINGS THAT PONDS ARE OVER VOLCANIC AREAS IT IS GREAT. THANKS ...URIEL, PANAMA CANAL, MARCH-12-2020 I AM HERE WITH MY INCOME TAX RETURN. DEADLINE IS MARCH15-2020 POR PERSONAL TAXPAYERS... JOEY BELOW SAYS THE SAME...THE LOCATION IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL.

[@frankcassidy7673]

Thanks for another great drive through lovely Colorado, along with your commentary it's bit like being on a tour bus. drive safe

[@pheleant]

20 mile, hunted all the area around the mine for years. This video, tears, I miss the mountains.

[@frankiewillis1772]

LOL I'm from Texas, I don't like the heat. Do much better when its cold. Here its November 71 outside. Thats hot to me. I love the country your in very pretty. Thanks for t taking us with you.

[@mikehill3996]

Nice view of the book cliffs! Brings back memories!

[@pheleant]

Where at in Grand County? I was married to a lady from Kremmling for a time. Such beautiful country. Thanks for sharing. CO 13 is a beautiful trip...

[@travelerwalker4961]

Went over Monarch pass with a light load en route to Tacoma from Ft. Worth. Passing through Grand Junction later this afternoon

[@kittygonzalez2827]

I have never heard of a wildlife zone! Thanks ...I learned something, vicariously! I wonder if California has any wildlife zones?

[@joesphbest3120]

I just think your real busy, miss you when its a week or so. thanks for taking the time.

[@nicz9499]

I thought you were actually delivering steam boat springs! Springs for steam boats which I though was a bit weird! Doh!

[@terrypbug]

I worked on Union Pacific in Steamboat Springs for little while

[@vegaslimoguy2376]

If that was a couple of years ago, i may have ran a load for you. I was a true hotshot driver for 25 years plus, and a couple years ago i ran a hotshot crucial load of small motors, could have been generator motors to Steamboat Springs and met up with a crew trackside for Union Pacific. Really nice guys and neat town. Would love to go back there one day beautiful city.

[@jimmyburnett9469]

Love the fall colors. .

[@pheleant]

Portable scales.... You just HAD to bring that up, got stopped headed North on 13 right by ColoWyo back in 2001....meathead held me up for hours, arguing about my luv nuts being loose..... Someone spray painted the axles, and when the tires were changed, of course the lug nuts didn't line back up.... When I finally got to Steamboat, the guy at the lumber yard was pissed...

[@pauljustin9401]

We need to see some of that recent snow storm up your way

[@pederjonsson4945]

Nice Nice Landscape love it.

[@jackterry7664]

You are very close to the very start of the mighty Colo River when you are in Steamboat.

[@victormanuelgomezcruz4601]

[@jackterry7664]

Ops! missed Rifle too! damn......

[@michaelweston7748]

Wow, incredible canyon, can't help noticing that layer of white strata running through the cliff face on the right, looks like a giant quartz vein, any idea what that is?

[@charleshanna3123]

Thank You Mike For A Great Video

[@nativenuggets76]

I’ve been driving an airport shuttle from Denver airport to all the ski resorts for 14 years. How in the world do u do all these long runs/miles with no music at all? I love Colorado.

[@DavidHutson-pt5pe]

The highway through Steamboat Springs is U.S. 40, NOT state route 13. You get on S.R. 13 from U.S. 40 at Craig, CO., then it goes to I-70 at Rifle, CO.

[@ryanludlow4632]

awesome video! you are a blessed man! Makes me want to drive, how does a person get started in the industry?

[@pheleant]

Mike, are you from the Steamboat area? I hunted in Oak Creek for years, some really good people up that way. Do you know Gar, from Routte Fire and Safety? Delivered building materials and roofing materials all over the western slope. Wish I was there!

[@aaronballeck3153]

Why did you omit east of Hayden, Craig, and start again in Hamilton canyon?

[@tazmod7272]

Hi Mike. When you go thru town I get anxious that some vehicle will pull out in front of you or it is very tight to get thru when vehicles are parked on your right side.

[@jackterry7664]

ops! seems like at 35:21 we started going Eastbound out of palisade , Co. Edit error? haven't even gotten to GJ yet.

[@iantuttle7393]

Are there steep grades along this route? We are coming from Grand Junction AND will be taking a longer route to our final destination so we can stop in Steamboat on our way to our final destination.

[@michaelscully4983]

Where we go one, we go all.

[@ronp.731]

Hey Mike, life happens, post your vids when ya can

[@axiom1509]

Great films. Can you consider showing the map ?

[@stevewintermute195]

Craig, Meeker, Rifle.....high school wrestling powers

[@yankeewatchdog7299]

@3:35 ...that's called Fart Park, where the ponds are :)

[@richardbeee]

How are you to get to Laramie from where you're at in CO?

[@anthonyamendolia818]

Where's that van doing 35MPH...Esther look at the foliage!!

[@user-cf9np9cy8q]

😆

[@johnwheeler690]

Are you familiar with dragon man he owns dragon arms there in colorado just wondering if you had ever visited him

[@DavidHutson-pt5pe]

The truck sounds like it may have a Fuller Auto-shift transmission.

[@mrbob4u495]

I used to drive an Eagle with a Super-10. Like a 5 speed with a high and low in each gear.

[@FalconXE302]

When you say 20 above or below, do you mean above freezing point or above 0 (Fahrenheit) ...? Celsius scale makes so much more sense... it is so simple, 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling

[@tazmod7272]

Mike, I have learned that as you get older peanuts aren’t that good for you. They do cause digestive problems. Other nuts are fine. You probably did have the 24 hour bug or it was the peanuts.

[@timbeaudoin2065]

How much can a regional driver make it with quality ? Lookin for work

[@harleyhawk7959]

dont think I would be paying million plus to live alongside a hwy.

[@pheleant]

After working all over the western slope of Colorado delivering building materials, I've seen it all. Something happens to these people with more money than brains. The saddest part? Not all, but many of them are the saddest, most miserable people in the world.

[@coloradopackratprepper]

Hav made this drive too year around. Worked a couple stores in steamboat. Had a store in palisades. Couldnt stand the creepy owner. Got that store dropped from my route.

[@DD-bn2mx]

filthy windshield

[@DavidHutson-pt5pe]

So, are you a company driver or independent? What make truck are you driving? What engine/ transmission is in it?

[@seriousearthling]

20 below??!! come on
