Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If you're into being off-grid and boondocking or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

One more place to put on the list to visit! The gold discovery in Alder Gulch is what started all of this. A great piece of western history that is well preserved.

[@Steve-Goff]

What a neat little town. Lots of history. Not sure if you guys watch Steve Wallis on KZbin but his wife died unexpectedly a few days ago. He could really use prayers right now.

[@gonagain]

We heard thru his channel about Beautiful Wife. Steve must be devastated, we both prayed for Steve and family.

[@murrayandru7527]

Thanks for Sharing U 2 Redoing a shed today , lol . Up on the roof baking in the heat ..Take Care .

[@gonagain]

Be careful of the heat, Murray. We tore down a potting shed that someone built where the open patio was. Now it's back to being an open patio and more usable!

[@darlenestout7548]

Wow very cool. I'd love to go there.

There are pies out there, waiting for us, I just know it.

[@borandell9915]

Wow! A true time capsule. Great video.

[@SamuraiMama]

What a great tour! You have an amazing eye for pointing things out and explaining what they are whereas someone like me would just overlook it. Like the worn out beam in the blacksmith shop.

[@brendar.8185]

This video makes me want to go back and see Virginia City again it really is a neat place to see. Thank you for the tour.

[@gonagain]

Thanks for coming along!

Hi Rick and Linda ! Really beautiful country! Fascinating in town, amazing to see an original part of history...as always, superb video ! Safe travels...M

[@Robin-kf1yz]

I’ve been through Virginia City twice. But not when anything was open. Once in January and that was cold and snow. Once in early spring. I can see I need to make a trip during open season to take in the museum areas and inside the buildings. But , I will say the January visit definitely gave you a sense of the true “ rawness” of what life would have been like . Man, it was COLD!

[@skyepilotte11]

Great tour...look back in history...

[@gonagain]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@ireneluciow455]

I sure wish we had more years we would love to tour montana and Virginia city. We always drove by because it was always winter when we went.headed for the heat

[@weswalker1208]

If I'm ever up that way I'll definitely try to get there. 1940 that was the year my dad was born

[@MichaelGreen-em8hf]

Great video Rick I will have to add Virginia city to my Bucket list

[@coffeeNTrees]

great video. but that car creeper thing. wow.

[@gonagain]

Yea, right?

[@michaelsimmons261]

Loved this video...the theme to Bonanza was playing in my head.

[@SoonerGirltravels]

That store was very cool. I also loved the Iron stove

[@gonagain]

I had never seen one like that before.

[@billmitchell7731]

What a awsome place. Thanks for the tour. I dont know how much it helps . But I watch all your commercials 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This was a very special trip! Love seeing the old towns and the small towns. This was just wonderful! Thank you for all the effort and high gas prices paid to bring this to your channel!

[@vencenzodemarco4393]

Oh So Nice & So Sweet, I Love this town. (My father Always said he was born 100 yrs Too late. At the time I didn't know what he was talking about, but I sure turned out to be an old soul longing for Yesteryear) I'm definitely going to make a trip up to this Fantastic Town next summer. And All the other Great places Montana has to offer. Unbelievable Beauty. This is my kind of Disneyland. Thank You Rick and Linda yet again, for bringing us to Another Wonderful place. History has always been my main focus, and the 'American West' comes in Tops above everything. I keep praying it will still be America, in the next hundred years. You Really know how to deliver a great story, and soon we hope for a full length feature. Personally I just Can't get enough of this show and tell. 👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@gonagain]

Thanks, Vinny! We're currently in North Central Nevada, just hanging out and exploring canyons. The neat thing about the southwest is that you can still see history laying around, because things don't deteriorate very much, and they aren't covered under feet of humus.

[@1954shadow]

My Chevy HHR was doing the same thing with the gas fumes, then, it just stopped, I could never find a leak.

[@gonagain]

I'm still looking. I've gotten a few tips from viewers too that i can chase d.own

[@Tom-xp7dl]

Oh what a great video. Im NOT a history buff, but I do love looking at old items. What a well preserved place, all because someone cared enough to think of us, people of the future.

[@jamesbailey4374]

Looks like our garage full of old things

[@denisekyle6603]

Absolutely enjoyed this tour ! You guys are so wonderful to spend time with , so very grateful for your videos 🥰💞👍

[@gonagain]

Thank you for saying so, Denise! We appreciate hearing that. Be sure to join us again next Friday.

Did anyone tell you how much the Boveys paid for the town in 1940? What a wonderful tour. Glad to see you’re back on the road!

Wow…that’s an awesome historic town…thanks for sharing a walk through a bygone era…luv’d the journey glimpsing all those priceless treasures. 👏

[@ROLLMEAWAY]

It's always fun to see places I've been through others eyes. I took video of the old buildings from the front but not the behind the scenes like you! My back was hurting so I was more interested in finding a bar to sit and have a beer!

[@gonagain]

A bar sounded good towards the end of our walk through town!

[@seymourrivers6169]

I highly enjoyed this episode of tour of Virginia City, MT.

[@jamesrichardson1326]

When we visited the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, there was a building that had been moved from Virginia City. One of the Docents told us it can snow any day of the year in MT. Great video

[@gonagain]

Oh yes! It can snow on any day in Montana.

[@sasquatch885]

That town looks awesome. I love that kind of place. That mat for getting under the car was slicker than greased owl turds!👍🏻🇺🇸

I'm still working on finding the source of that smell and will be using the creeper again today.

[@DazzlingDanaOfficial]

Just incredible that the buildings are untouched... vandals and arsonists destroy so much in other areas of the country.

[@garretlewis4103]

True. People do seem to have a hard time taking care of things.

[@wfoybealiii4668]

It appears that you two and my wife and I crossed paths possibly multiple times in July/August 2022. We towed our camper from Jackson Hot Springs to Bannack for Bannack Days, to Dillon on the Sunday after, same day down to the Centennial Valley, and stayed there for 4 nights. Traversed the Gravelly Range Road leaving the Centennial Valley and spent just a night at Norris Hot Spring before a week in Rock Creek at Bitterroot Flats campground. Followed by a week in the White Sulphur Springs area for the music festival and capped it off with 3 nights at Crystal Lake in the Big Snowies. The local resident spoke the truth about how bad the northern end of Gravelly Range Rd and especially Call Rd were in late July. It took us two hours to get from Clover Meadows down to the last mile or two of Call Rd before pavement. Any other route out would likely have been better. Enjoying the channel!

[@gonagain]

If you see us, be sure to say hello! You never know where we're gonna be...

[@homemaker4117]

What a fun video! We will for sure check it out next trip out west. Hope your Yukon is all better. We drive the same vehicle and had the exact same problem this summer. Have a blessed weekend folks.

[@mikemanjo2458]

Wow! What an absolutely amazing town. I am SO glad the folks preserved it for us today. We have added it to our list of places to visit b/c of your video. It is incredible that those buildings are still standing on their original foundations (I wish builders today would do that kind of quality work. I'm not sure a lot of homes built today will last 150 years!). I love those big posts at the bottom of old staircases. I loved that Linda told the story about y'all staying there. Thanks for the tour, too! Very neat place...maintained in incredible condition...thanks to the Boveys (?) Such an absolute treasure!!! I love Linda's sense of humor! ❤🙏Jane
