My 80-year old father started sharing with me about his enjoyment in watching your videos. He asked me if I’ve heard of “Itchy Boots.” My perplexed facial expression informed him I was not [familiar]. He then explained some of the obstacles Noraly faced in the episode he just watched, along with several more adventures, and then an Itchy Boots history lesson. He piqued my interest to the point I watched a few episodes and now I am obsessed as well. This has led to a new common bond for my father and me to share. Considering the age gap, cultural changes in society, technology, etc., and the fact he is deaf (we use sign language to communicate, not just hearing loss due to his age), finding new experiences for the father/daughter bond is rare indeed. When my father and I talk about Itchy Boots, it’s as if his entire being is smiling and beaming from head to toe. Therefore, thank you Noraly for sharing your journey.

So I made her a bunch of spinning tops, and in the evenings we sometimes would sit in her kitchen, playing with them on a tray.. Good memorys. I guess what I wanted to say is this: you could make some Screenshots and arrange them online for some Itchy boots Postcards. then send her one every week. I know this would be fun for you both!

My sense of history perspective or horizon was re-calibrated when I went to Iceland and stopped briefly at the farm Drangur where reportedly, Eiric Rauthi (Eric the Red) killed someone and fleeing justice took ship westward and discovered Greenland. That was about the year AD 950. Also, the hot pool at the front door of Snorri Sturluson's house; he wrote the sagas in or about AD 1130 and the stone-lined pool is still there and the water is very hot. So is the semi-buried sod house but of course the sod will have been rejuvenated many times since then.

The letter carriers of course are driving a car or a pickup truck for a stipulated daily payment and it would add up to a fortune in fuel and many hours to deliver the few letters and more advertising mail to the remote ranch houses which may be twenty or more km from the main road . These rows of many mailboxes are also common at the entrances to mobile home parks to simplify life for the mail deliverers . Many remote ranchers solve their mail reception by renting a post office box in the nearest small town and go pick it up maybe once a week . Most will have internet connection now so it is not greatly urgent business in the mail . An added factor is the proliferation of city people moving out into backcountry rural settings in order to " be off the grid " or to " work remotely " at an office job .Others see it as an escape and survival strategy to prepare for the social upheaval and anarchy they fear is coming . Houses are popping up in the unlikeliest locations so when a forest fire or range fire erupts out of control they often enough get burned out .

You don't hear "it's 100 miles to so-and-so"; you hear "it's an hour and half from here to there". Sometimes 50 miles might take an hour and a half, sometimes 150 miles will take that same time. REALLY IMPORTANT-- don't pet or take selfies with the bison, moose, elk, wolves, or bears (LOL) !!!!!

Most of them are compounds, with fairly large homes and living quarters for the employed ranch hands, along with buildings for equipment and in some cases horses. They may have shops to repair needed equipment or fabricate items for horses. Most have electric and perhaps gas, so not off grid totally, but likely run from well water and septic systems instead of a water main and sewer system. Likely no cable or internet, some may have cell coverage.

@@susie2251 mailbox is place on start of private road or driveway as in everywhere, so that is not the issue! the problem is range or their driveway might be a few miles off dirt/gravel road! there is no way USPS is going to waste gas and time for single delivery, so either group of mailbox on main intersection or pickup your mail at your local post office

When this girl is done with her travels she has to appear on the Tonight Show on NBC. See I love quiet bikes we don't disturb wildlife. Your cinematography is outstanding

Although my journey hasn't been as perilous as Noraly's, I'm finally here after more than a month 😁 finally catch up on this season's episodes

Noraly's enthusiasm is so contagious. And she's so overjoyed at new little or big things she sees.

I really enjoy Noraly's joy and enthusiasm of the scenery and riding in our country. I can't help but feel proud of the beauty that we still have here in the States. I know being an easy coaster who hasn't been out west it's supposed to be beautiful but seeing it through her eyes just makes me want to experience it for myself ( before we screw it all up )

Eric, you really must go out west. I am in Illinois. I just took a friend out to Arizona, Utah and Colorado. He had never been out west before. He was speechless. That was back in May. That trip is all he talks about now. Please do yourself a favor and travel out west. You will not be disapointed.

The USA that I know. It's so nice that you're meeting some wonderful people in America. I'm from Canada and have always known most Americans to be very nice and helpful. You're such a lovely and inspiring person yourself and love attracts love I guess. Signed: a relatively new huge fan

Wow, what a ride again . Interesting about the "devide", loved the info you give about every place you go. The further you travel the more exiting it gets , America have a lot of hidden gems it looks like. Travel safe.

There is a hiking trail which follows the Continental Divide all the way from Mexico to Canada. It's considered the most difficult of long distance hikes you can do in the US.

I grew up on the divide in the Rockies in Canada. It was always fascinating to me because on both sides of the divide in this area there are several lakes thus rivers flowing out from them. The lake that backs right up to the divide on the east side has a river flowing towards the east and the lake immediately next to it, but on the west side of the divide has a river coming out of it that flows west. Yet unless one was cognizant of that fact, they would never know they just crossed the continental divide.

👍👍👍😃wow, Another good one . Thank you

Noraly your music choices on video are awesome.

I used to think my European bike tours were long 🤣 Wow, your adventures are something else. Absolute respect for the stamina - you don’t seem to get rider fatigue. 👍👍

I always thought the United States, desert or snow, I've never seen such a beautiful sight , I'm not talking about the city, but like forests, lakes and rivers 🤓

What you've seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg Noraly. So many beautiful things and scenery yet to come. Ride safe, thinking of you.

I adore you with your beautiful outlook on your journey! The scenery alone is worth the viewing and then your kind soul explaining your routes and challenges. I look forward too your next video always in the highest anticipation. Thankyou for sharing your adventures it is a true pleasure!

It's really doing in my limited brain cells, a Nederlander in Nederland in America. you can't make this stuff up, hilarious. You're amazing Noraly. So, you are in Colorado and there is a boulder, has there not always been a Boulder in Colorada? Is this the boulder and they will possibly blow it up, that's not good.

Just here to express my thanks for this series. I've traveled through Wyoming hundreds of times but seeing it through your eyes was amazing and so contagious.

Excellent video of the countryside! I noticed your limp though...and truly hope your ankle continues to heal quickly! Thanks for the content Noraly!

I’m loving watch this part of USA! So pretty, natural , picturesque, it’s gorgeous…. Thanks Noraly to giving us this opportunity to watch this.

And I am an immigrant who worked and lived in many other countries and always prefer this country than any other place in the world

Now you're bringing back memories of when I traveled these areas back in the 80s.

Your joy and excitement remind me of Christmas mornings when I was a kid. In addition, it takes me to a much more easy way of life. Each time I visit family in Colorado, I feel the same as you are expressing. It makes me realize just how small I am in the universe. Thank you for allowing us to ride along with you!

Keep doing what you do. So many of us enjoy your videos. Your documented adventures take us places we need to be when otherwise caught up in the confounded day to day stresses of life with boundaries.

Love love love seeing this video .. my old home 😍(post boxes are because people live in those mountains). Thank you Noraly!!

I have fallen in love with her personality she is always so positive and that makes me feel so good❤️

I love your joy at seeing bison for the first time!! What a cool experience!

At 10:00 there is a sawhorse fence thing. I smacked that with the RV trying to do a u-turn earlier this year trying to go the same route to get across the park. Tore off my grab handle on the passenger side. It had to have been within a couple days of Noraly being there! Now my wife and I know why the road was closed, not just snow but a big rock. Small world.

Improvising on travels sometimes gets the best surprises. As Noraly showed us in this great episode. Günter from Nürnberg/Germany (no bisons, just cows in the fields)

Noraly, you always manage to find amazing trails & beautiful scenery, even while taking detours!

“Well, the weather has changed drastically overnight, all the snow has melted.” AKA= “Welcome to Colorado.”

I loved seeing this episode Noraly. Having been a student in Boulder Colorado from 1987 to 1989 have visited Netherland CO many times by motorbike, ring up the Boulder canyon. Being from Norway I also got to meet the "famous frozen guy" s grandson. He is really a colorful character. Too bad the pass through Rocky mountain national park was closed. It is a great ride through there.

We found "Itchy" a few months ago and have been following up through the seasons. We know she is currently in Africa but we are still catching up on season 6. Got to say, we have felt this entire trip from Ecuador to where we are now, the freezing cold of a summer in the rockies 😂 Your drops and then getting hurt in Nevada, proud of you for continuing on, Noraly. Looking forward to the rest of this season and finally getting to your Africa travels. Keep it between the ditches, Itchy

I'm thoroughly enjoying the Colorado rides, my my, what a beautiful state. The scenery and landscape snow trees mountains and everything in between. Those people living there are blessed!!!

Yes, I live along the front range in Colorado and have for 40 years. The state is very beautiful and I am very glad I moved here at age 30.

USA's geographic diversity is truly amazing !

I applaud your courage to ride straight into the wild unknown! Not knowing where the road is leading you but continuing on anyway is inspiring! Good luck on the rest of your trip!

Колорадо - какое суровое место! И снег, и холод, и пожары... И люди, живущие там самые лучшие - с характером(в хорошем смысле). И Голландец, действительно молодец!

It's always a treat to see an Itchy Boots notification! Hope you are having a wonderful time in the USA! Thank you for your wonderful adventures! Much love to everyone and their families from Alton Missouri USA 💪 🌻 🤠 🙏

Your channel is so much fun, Itchy Boots! All these amazing videos and this lively comment section! Sometimes i loose myself just watching and checking comments for hours. Creators like you make KZread an amazing place, i think!

Amazing! Beautiful views, beautiful ride and, in the end , a extremely nice conversation with that kind lady and a cosy hotel! Well done, Noraly! Thanks for sharing these moments with all of us 🤗 I’ve been watching your channel for about two or three weeks , direct from Brazil , and I love it 🥰

I've literally ridden through every State and Province, and Wyoming is my all time favorite to ride in. You'll probably cross the Great Divide many times on just one ride. This State has everything. For me, the Big Horn Mountains were just as awesome as the Grand Tetons. Jackson gives you the best view of the Grand Tetons. You can take a normal picture of the mountains and it'll look panoramic. I'm looking forwards to you seeing the Prong Horns for the first time, they look like they're from Africa, but have always been here. God almighty I want to get there again. Soak it all up and have a GREAT time!

Always love to travel throughout Wyoming--you can see forever!

Great video Noraly!! I love how the sky changes color, from dark blue to an almost turquoise color. My spirit is filled. Thanks!

Welcome to Wyoming! Glad to finally have you here!

Oeh more Western and country style houses/towns with the scenery and animals you expect to be in it. Such a fan! Definitely need to visit America multiple times to personally witness all of the things! Also Frozen Dead Guy is so random, I love it, LOL.
