More from the USA - the Route 66 trip kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKejtdODYs3dg9I.html

Love VC. I go to Carson City from time to time for gas. It's about 30c per gallon less than Washoe county. I drive through for the eye candy. Absolutely check out as much as you can. The museum is a must see at least once.

Thanks Marcus for the videos of the USA last time we were in Virginia City was 2002 glad it hasn't changed . After doing 5 fly and drive where we fancied going we are a little bit old now consider doing them now so your videos are a breath of fresh air thanks again

Thank you very much for watching and glad you enjoyed

Oh! There's so much intereting history in that little town. Brother, you didn't even scratch the top. I love it there. The two times I've been there have left me wanting more if it's wonder. Silly question, did you come across the Donkey with his Prospector? Lol! I don't know who's meaner of the two! Safe travels!

Yes, there was far more to see. No, I didn't see the prospector. It was a relatively quiet day when I visited. Glad I took the drive out from Reno.

Hi Marcus, Awesome live view video. I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see more soon. Have a great day greetings from Canada 😀

I just can't believe that the American Flats is no longer standing got a lot of memories out there over 25 years of memories at the American flag

I like how you include part of the drive that's really fun...

Come find Snoopy in Santa Rosa, CA. You'll love it and the ☕ from A'roma Roasters.

I love Reno in the winter, but it is kind of a ghost town. Where are you spending Christmas? You mentioned Mark Twain, perhaps come to see the Big Trees in Calaveras, they are wonderful! The frog jump is in May so that is a ways off.

@@flydriveexplore The west is full of contrasts like the high desert around Reno and then mountains of forests, but you could just drive for days and never see it all. Good you made it back safe.

I forget how relatively new some of the states are. I grew up in a house older than 1864.

@@flydriveexplore You're so right... That's what I miss is seeing the history in Europe and other places. The architecture as well. People have different perspectives on the world which is always good to broaden my own viewpoint.

Sorry, you did not like Reno. It's a small city, having everything with lots of gambling. It also has Truckee River, a small river with lots of rocks in it. People who live near an ocean would likely laugh their heads off, while looking at it. Lake Tahoe is a much nicer resort area, with a beautiful huge fresh water lake.
