Vigilante Justice! Virginia City, MT - Plus car trouble

[@BillSprague]

My wife an I visited Virginia City and Bannock probably 50 years ago.it was priceless then and still is! Thanks for the memories. Travel well!

[@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!

[@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.

[@sasquatch885]

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

[@wandacraig8286]

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!

[@gonagain]

Thanks to some generous viewers and us saving up for this trip, knowing we'd have the high gas prices. And thank you, Wanda, for always watching our videos. We always appreciate that!

[@wandacraig8286]

@@gonagain you two take me to all the places I can never go. Wish I could contribute as well. Maybe someday!

[@TheHoboShoestring]

Never seen or heard of those creeper mats. Really neat

[@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

[@NarleyAdventures]

👍👍👍👍👍, This place is defiantly on my bucket list.

[@kevintrevors3921]

Awesome video. Montana has always been on my bucket list, thanks for sharing !

[@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.

[@sueweis1489]

Really interesting trip back in history in Virginia City. Thank you folks

[@davec9244]

Hell, I am a tourist, I will fit right in. This is on the list of must see! thank you ALL stay safe

[@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.

[@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

[@gonagain]

That is an incredible place! Thanks for your comment, Jane. See you on the next one!

[@vickikielman2798]

What a beautuful old inn. Loved seeing the rooms. I am a quilter, so of course I was checking out the quilts on the beds.

[@ChuckisOutside]

Neat town. The 3-7-77 was interesting as well as many of the buildings. Thanks for the tour.

[@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.

[@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!

[@Volunteersunrise]

Rick and Linda.We love Virginia City. South of there between Virginia City and West Yellowstone is a lake formed by an Earthquake . Fantastic area. Thank you .

[@gonagain]

Hi Dennis, we were camped near that quake formed lake just a few days ago, at Wade Lake. Its no longer the quiet area anymore but with lots of people enjoying the no motorized watercraft allowed lake. Beautiful area.

[@makalapuamegs1056]

Okay definitely going on my bucket list as I love the historical stuff! Okay Linda I’ll hit it up in the late spring or summertime!

[@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!

[@hannahshepherd9073]

God Bless you both for taking us homebound folks on a wonderful tour of a place we never would have seen otherwise. Safe travels and thank you.

[@gonagain]

Thank you for coming along with us, Hannah. Stay tuned for more!

[@ericmattinen4728]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@billmitchell7731]

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

[@gonagain]

That actually helps a whole lot.

This was a great video Rick, I absolutely love historical buildings and artifacts, also it is hard to imagine buying a town lock stock and barrel, truly a forward thinking purchase. If you notice everything in the town is biodegradable wood, iron or material. Again well done.

[@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!

Gas is closing in on $3.20/gal here in Georgia. Hopefully with the normal winter fall in demand we will all see some additional relief.

[@gonagain]

Wow, that's nice to hear! We're currently in Nevada and just paid $4.73.

[@johnswof]

@@gonagain $3.34 in deep red Oklahoma for now. Inevitably, the cost of using gasoline is going to rise. Gone are the days of my youth when Good Gulf was only $.289/gallon and my Dart with a lazy six on its side got around 20 mpg if I drove sensibly. The fact I replaced the clutch three times in four years should tell you how I drove that Dart into the ground.

Rick gets around just fine, he has to be careful and mindful of his knee. The bike ride crash left him with a scraped up elbow that our girls took care of.

Thank you, Teresa, for always watching our videos and always with a nice comment. Aloha...Linda

[@mikemanjo2458]

So, for people who wonder what it was like for the pioneers moving westward back in the day, this is it....right? Thanks for bringing us along with you! The term "vigilante" was used in SC in the 1700s to describe how the settlers in the "back country" of South Carolina formed groups of Regulators (vigilantes) who worked together to regulate the bands of roaming bandits that had begun attacking/robbing the new settlers in the Back Country of SC (which WAS the western frontier in 1739!) Just some info from an old SC History teacher (lol). I am sad to see that our country seems to be moving backwards in some respects. Safe travels to y'all! (Jane in SC)❤🙏
