I appreciate your videos, which allow us to see our country. Thank God for truckers.

A real shout out to you and all the trucking heroes in this Corona virus crisis-youre the true backbone of this country and we're truly thankful for all that you do 🙏🏼🙏🏼

395 is definitely one awesome highway

I had no idea how beautiful Eastern California really is. The area from Bishop to Mono Lake would be great place for a vacation.

Wow, always great stuff on this channel. I like to relax and view on my big screen T.V. in the evening, along with a beer or cocktail, or both ;-) Thank you!

I've taken many road trips through the Eastern Sierra. If you ever get a chance to drive on 120 through Yosemite AND 395 through the Eastern Sierra, DO IT! You will see some of the most majestic scenery ever. It's like another world out there.

So glad I found your channel! I ran produce for Double R Transport back in the early 90's till '97, Much of the routes you're running, before cell phones with paper logbooks. I loved it! All I had were pictures and memories. Your videos bring it back to life for me. Thank you so much!! Safe travels my friend!

I'm enjoying this, Mike. I am still catching up on your earlier posts. This is gorgeous countryside. Thanks for sharing.

Just heard you say Mt. Whitney - answered my own question. Great travels through the Owens Valley!!

Hiya Mike,Sherry here from Indiana. Just wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying your ride alongs✌❤

One of the best moments is watching these utube videos of cross country whether it's 18wheelers, motorcycles, automotive even pickup trucks, it's better than National Geographic, when I was a kid back in the 50s and early 60s I even loved taking 2 or 3 day trips on just traveling wherever on a Greyhound Bus.

Love the panning and zoom-in 's of the camera!! Thanks man have have a great day!

A real nice video well done bud thanks 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

That's a road that made me feel very small. And I liked that feeling.

We have got to get out there. I have learned so much from you. My perspective on truckers has totally changed. Big respect for you.

I love your mountain and canyons videos because I love the mountains. I'm a mountain girl born and raised and I "m stuck in flat land of Florida. It's ok but I will forever be a mountain girl.

God's awesome beauty!!

I love riding shotgun with this lovely man i am a74year old English man I must admit I don’t always agree with his politics but the wife and I have been lucky enough to have driven many of the roads he takes us on especially around Utah Arizona Nevada and California we once drove through snow in Flagstaff we have driven this road wonderful

I've been this route about a hundred times, one of my favorites

Man you gotta GREAT job. Long distance hauling: you're not bent down slaving away in a coal mine. You're not being destroyed with stress working at the stock exchange, and you're not stuck behind the register at a fast food joint (ain't got nothin' against those jobs)... Like your vids...wish I was driving right now.

It's Helen...I was watching this video and its the first time I ever saw you. now I can match your voice to your handsome face...

On of your best among many great ride-a-longs!! Thanks for the narration on Bodie and Mono Lake. Sometimes I forget interesting facts about the High Sierras. Loved the pictures of the boulders towards the end before hitting the Bodie turn off - great visual evidence of what was once the Tioga glacier which covered much of the area 11 to 20 thousand years ago. Mono Lake reveals the recent history of climate change and is famous (among nerds and scientists) for its core samples which have been used to recreate precipitation variations on 3 different geological time scales: Dansgaard-Oeschger (approximately a 1,000 year cycle), Heinrich events (varying repetition due to interactions with other causes), and Milankovich (approximately 10,000 year cycle). The latter was hypothesized by a Serbian astronomer, Milutin Milanković about 100 years ago. He hypothesized that variations in the Earth's "eccentricity", or axial tilt and the precession of the Earth's orbit around the Sun led to a cyclical variation in the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth, and that this orbital forcing strongly influenced climatic patterns on Earth (that is was a contributing factor to ice ages and glaciation and global cooling). Your intellectual curiousity about the areas you driver through reminds me of my own day driving back in the 80s. It was a lonely life for a single guy in his 20s but it was also a really interesting job because no two days were ever the same and I went everywhere and saw everything and like you, I knew where to find a meal or park in lots of little towns around the country. Even today, many years later, I can recall in great detail so many of my epic and scenic drives like they were yesterday. If I had been driving in a Volvo with those fantastic comfortable seats, I might have kept it up, but honestly, it was impossible to maintain relationships with girls when I was gone so much although some of my best trips involved bringing a girl friend with me on the road - although it was sometimes more peaceful and less stressful not to have to stop and shop in every little tourist town - it was still the most interesting job offering the most flexibility of any job I ever had. People who work in offices with direct supervision through out the day just do not understand the near absolute freedom of the open road to be their own boss (in regard to how you go about doing the job) and how certain people excel at such a job and cannot be micromanaged - like cowboys, truck drivers are a breed apart and unlikely to ever be happy working a normal 9 to 5 even when kids and wife force a career change on them. Nothing beats the feeling of saddling up and riding off to adventure by yourself. I found the nights to be the worst part - sleeping trucks without a dog or cat was lonely and the solitude is okay for a week but if you end on the road for several weeks in a row and cannot get home for R&R and laundry, it can get tiresome. Many people think truck drivers are just working stiffs, but most try and stick with the job because they just really don't fit in with a normal office job or factory job doing the same thing every day. Keep up the great videos with the interesting narration.

Lovely Mike ,many thanks .Never been over the pond so this is the next best thing .

Route 395 is my all time favorite drive! And we got to see you in this video :)

Used to backpack, camp and fish a bunch between Mammoth and Bridgeport....love the eastern Sierras!

Greetings from Germany and thank you for the great Videos ... very Luck on your Tours....Amerika have wonderfull Places.

Mike, I love the sensation that I get when you use your Zoom. It feels like I'm flying in an antique airplane.

Always enjoy watching your videos on my large tv. Brings back memories of trucking years ago. And especially like your political views, good job!

Thank you for letting me see the USA . I’m from the uk .

Georgeous scenery!

I rode my FXD on this highway, got on at 58 (?) and headed north on 395, eventually entering and going through. Yosemite National Park. A great, scenic ride.

I really like this. I rode this same route several years ago when I was visiting my friend in Southern California.

Hi Mtn man Mike, th a nks for closse up of what you can see ahead, and for telling us what were looking at along the way. I love ridding Shotgun w you. ♥ 😊

I love riding along with you on these trips!! I drove for USA truck for a time after driving school. Keep those videos coming and i'll keep watching. Safe travels!!!

I have never been a Truck driver, but I was a heavy Truck mechanic for 20 years, this is defiantly my new favorite channel... Keep up the good work!

enjoy your videos very much. you make this look so easy. smooth driver, don't get car sick watching along. PEACE

Thanks for the Ride Mike

I always wondered what it would be like doing 395; thanks for showing me!

Incredible,what a beautiful drive there. Greating from the own driver from Holland.

nice ride thank you v much my friend have a great day

You were in my neighborhood !! Hwy 395 between Indian Wells Valley (Inyokern, Ridgecrest, & China Lake) and Owens Lake. Little Lake on the right. The lava flow area on the right is on US Navy land (Naval Air Weapons Station-China Lake). The "mining area" is used for road construction material. Coso Junction Rest Stop. Yes, gas in CA is higher than any state (CA taxes its citizens and travelers so it can squander it away on frivolous projects).

Love the ride along, awesome scenery !!

very nice Mike. that moto place you coined the song to. when I was like 7 yrs old approx. my mom and sis came out from Georgia, to Washington on route 66 to 395. we stopped at that place way back then. only place out that way. ate lunch they gave us a water, there were silver fish floating in our glass.

Hey Mike,beautiful ride,thanks.Ya,what they mine is called scario,if I spelled that right.It's just crushed lava rock.I hauled that stuff in a belly dump in North Dakota.They make the drilling pads with the stuff.Injoyed the Video man.Keep it real dude.Peace.😂

Excellent video...so many awesome sight's and views, thanks...

HELLO MtMan Mike I don't watch TV or news but I watch your videos all the time because your Awesome at it and love the scenery, thxmuch love friend Have an Awesome time with your family they too are Awesome.

If you ever get the chance Chris go for it. you won't regret it.

I did that ride through the Desert from Vegas to Reno, Good Gravy! It was different.

The proper named of former Mt. McKinley is Denali. Native Alaskans had always called it Denali. In 1896 a gold prospector renamed Denali in favor of his favor presidential candidate. If I recall correctly, McKinley had never visited Alaska before the name change. In 1975 the State of Alaska returned the name to Denali. In 2015 the US Federal Government also recognized and officially struck the name McKinley in favor of its historical name, Denali.

395 . One of the most interesting / beautiful ROADS IN AMERICA !!!!!

This has got me want to go trucking again.got out after 19 years of running east coast

Missing Your next report and I´m sure not the only Yon !!! Love love this !!!

Definately feels like one is riding in the truck with you.

Hi mm I'm enjoying all of your videos.

They filmed High Plains Drifter at the fictional town of LAGO on the shore of Mono Lake. They put fish in it once and they died. It is too alkaline due to no outlet and constant evaporation. I can't wait to drive 395 maybe in a few years. Thanks for letting us Ride shotgun.

Beautiful GOD's creation

Too lonely , too quiet , too scary , not for me !( But I love listening to you talk ,I would love to ride with you , yes I would ride that road with you anytime . You're a very nice person 😊. .I live in Alabama I've really never been anywhere . But I do enjoy riding

I drive a 24 ft RV (Class C with a Ford 350 chassis). Going above 55 mph is a hell of a job! These vehicles have no road-holding quality (overloaded underpinnings and small 16 inch wheels don't help), they're like a "kite" on a string. So excuse us, RV drivers, for being slow, we are just trying to remain on the road ...

Awesome nice magnifying and slow motion 👏🏾😎🇺🇸👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 cool cool cooler my man

Great trip, thank you. I used to love that drive from So. Cal to Mammoth, I love a good road trip, and that one was fantastic, thank you sir! Especially cuz my gas was so cheap! I just got gas for $1.39 to bad it was from Taco Bell, but I loved that trip!

Very very nice trip with beautiful scenery. Thanks for making the video and for your comments along the way...:)

I have ridden on so many fantastic roads on my motorcycle I wish I had a camera in those days.

Thanks for the ride,i really enjoyed it.✌✌✌👍👍🗽🗽⛲⛲🏯🏯

Yes I enjoy this ride along with you see a lot of places I ain't been before that I like to go again I get the chance I'm going to be back out there

It’s a cinder come, they use it for traction on winter roads in Northern California.

To bad you aren't in the GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS. Safe travels.GOD BLESS

Thanks for the ride along Mike peace!!!

This guy's just a few miles out of Ridgecrest, (the earthquake capital of Kern County) CA in the upper Mojave Desert 100 east of Bakersfield. About 80 miles beyond the mountains in the distance on the right is Death Valley. A few miles ahead he'll pass America's WWII concentration camp for Japanese-American citizens. It's called Manzanar! The museum there tells the horrible story of that dreaded concentration camp. You need to see it for yourself! It's the most heartbreaking experience anyone can imagine!

Believe it or not, the United States also interned a fair number of German- & Italian-Americans. Before we entered the war, we were rough on Nazi Diplomatic Missions; many German-American citizens simply disappeared, at the hands of the F.B.I.; and, our Navy did sink a few U-Boats. Some of this, could have been in retaliation, for the SS being rough on our athletes in the '36 Berlin Olympics.

when u mention bishop,makes me think of a movie that came out in the70s called other side of the mountain about the skier jill kinmont that crashed and got paralyzed...that was the town she was from ..true story :)

you might from time to time show your instrument panel. Also first time we say your face. Nice..

AMAZING VIDEO BRAVO ❤😍❤😍 LOVE FROM SWEDEN

I took that highway many times heading westbound from Boise, ID. to Winnemucca, NV. then into Walnut, CA. to deliver McDonalds french fries at GSF.

The idea of the T-shirt is good. I would order one. Also I sure do enjoy your videos. Love the scenery. I subscribed to your channel & so glad I did so thank you very much for all your videos that you posted. Please don’t stop posting. Thank you. Theresa End Of Horn.

Beautiful work.

I really like the segments of the small towns you drive through. 5.49 is a lot cheaper than in the uk.

During the summer of 2019 gasoline in Texas was below $2.50 a gallon. Today, January 2021, 18 months later, gasoline in Texas is $1.80 a gallon... Supply and demand, demand is down with these COVID-19 shutdowns...

Hello Mike enjoying the run today no one else does pan shots like you do keep up the great videos Stay Safe PEEACE

Beautiful scenery thanks for the. Video.love it and this is the only way ill ever get to see this beautiful country side again thanks.And May GOD keep you safe on your travels..🏰🏬🏧🏦🏥🏤🏣🏢🏡🏠🚙🚚🚛🚛🚛

Outstanding :O)

Gas is ALWAYS super expensive in that part of California due to the remoteness. You do see the same thing in Colorado in small mountain towns, albeit on a lower scale.

One of the most beautiful places ever, the eastern Sierras. The fine folks in Sacto. are raising the gasoline tax, 5 cents/gallon on 1 June, & 77 cents/gallon on 1 January, 2020. Hot Creek Trout Hatchery. Mono Lake's where they shot High Plains Drifter.

BEYOND Beautiful

I enjoyed your comments about California as a recent person who barely escaped with the shirt on my back. Yes, they make life as miserable as they can but convince everyone that climate change, health care and the virus can only be solved by massive high taxes but over years, nothing is ever better. After being paroled from California you couldn't pay me to live there now. I loved the scenery and the climate but everything else made life in California miserable for me.

We stayed in that 2 story motel 40 years ago, the front room with the window on the highway 52.29 on video. Nice view of mono & nothing!

that song your thinking of is by Nightranger Sister Christian "You're motoring What's your price for flight In finding mister right You'll be alright tonight"

great video....

That climb going north from Bishop will definitely suck some fuel. So will the climb north of Mono Lake.

395 hwy is simply a gem , truly amazing

Thanks Mike i like riding shotgun just motorin on the great scenic byway on route 395

I am going to get a a sandwich and a can of beer, I DO BELIEVE I AM GOING TO BE WATCHING THIS FOR A WHILE.
