Nearly the 13th of April hear in North Warwickshire UK. Yes Sir, the UK. I can't visit your fine country… But this is the best way of visiting I can get, and it's amazing watching, my father and his before him were truckers, so there's a kind of kindred spirit within that draws me to watching and enjoying your uploads. I was born mid-sixties and my ma always said either my Grandfather, or my Dad would take me on some long hauls (small country here though), apparently you couldn't get me out of the cab if I climbed up into it, I was actually well know at some of the old truckers stops and even earned free meals on occasion by telling jokes and such. Simpler times, better people, unspoiled country, roads and wagons you had to work hard to master. Wished they were both still around. Bless you and your rig, best wishes and good luck to you and yours, safe journey.

Those mountains are AWESOME. ☺

Mike. Welcome to the club. I'm 74, was active like you. Years in the navy, retired, now UNCLE ARTHUR (Artheritis that is) is slowly taking over. Just keep doing what you can, and roll with the punches but..KEEP LAUGHIN', JOKIN', and SMILIN'. Nobody can take that away! PEACE.

I’m in my 70s and arthritis has ravaged my body....55 years of construction wore them out then the arthritis set in .....my knees and ankles are shot limiting my mobility almost to not being able to walk so it’s closed me down on working and outdoor activities

I’m a contractor truck driver for the usps, when I come home after a long day of driving and watch your videos my wife thinks it’s hilarious

With you again Mike. Good to see so many watch your videos from around the World. WELCOME to all of them below. Our beautiful nation is why so many want to come here. But we have that age-old problem...coming without permission legally. Enjoy as we all do. The U.S.A. is still the land of Dreams that CAN come true. Listen to MIKE. He's giving us all what most of us will never see. PEACE MIKE!

Love riding shotgun! I have so many road trips planned now thanks to you!

Love the snow-capped mountains.

Thanks Mike another great drive as an old retired Aussie "truckie" as we are known "downunder" I enjoy traveling with you Mike very casual like myself but you always get to where your going safely which is the whole idea of the job ,I to drove the odd Volvo in the late 70s & early 80s okay truck about 330 HP 8 speed box with a splitter 16 ratios not all that big I suppose still big enough to haul a tri - axle flat top trailer from the east coast to the west coast about three & and a half days ,I chose truck driving as a career at an early age 18 yrs May 1959 retired Sept.2015 done a mile or two never regretted one mile of it made a lot of mates and seen a lot my country Australia "RB" Albury downunder .now I'm sitting at a screen looking at other countries & still learning stay safe truckers

Hey Mike right at 6:47 the hi way on the left 260. I used to turn south there a few miles to a feed lot and unload shell corn there it was called Johnson feed yard , Great people worked there I always enjoyed going to see them.

Always enjoy riding with you. Great scenery, good conversation, can't beat that on a long ride. The sheep were a great added treat to see. Wished it was a longer ride. I didn't have to stop and stretch my legs on this one.. lol .. Keep the videos coming, we all look forward to riding with you. Hoping for safe travels ahead.

I sure enjoyed this trip. Hope you get to feeling better. Thank You for letting me sit in your comfy seat, I had a great view. Stay safe.💕

Good Evening sir.. Thanks for sharing your wonderful views. Have a wonderful safe trip 👍

Very comfortable and beautiful views thank you so much Mike cheers Jim from new Zealand

There’s nothing there. That’s why I love this highway. Just you and the open. My sister and I drove Highway 50 from start to finish back in 1990. Started in Carson City and drove straight into Utah. Beautiful drive.

HI Mike from old trucker in uk .Now retired aged 87 yrs . Have survived cancer 5 yrs ago , the old arteres are a bit clogged. But life goes on. Love your videos . Look forward to each one . Just keep smiling and trucking you will be fine. Be safe . Cheers

Good for you. Sound sharp as a tack. I wish more people your age were making youtube videos. Just telling stories about your life.

Of, wow ... those mountains all across the horizon. I really love seeing all the little towns you travel thru. Big cities scare the hell out of me.

I love those little towns in northern Nevada.

This video was too funny...."covidians" ....love it!!! I share your thoughts on this whole covid-19 nightmare 😉 Thanks for the ride! I would love to be in the passenger seat...

Hey keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your "BUMPER" LOL

Thanks again for all that you do out there .enjoy the conversation and the ride will always miss trucking. This is the safest way to travel with you as the driver and me in the best seat ever. Im with you on the shot i dont believe that I need it ,i respect the ones that feels the need to get it .i have to many things wrong that the shot could make things worse, im not going to risk it.i have Fibromyalgia and its unbearable because i cant take the medication that would help me .trucking can be hard on a person. Hope you are enjoying the new house. Its nice to have a place to rest when you can. Still would love to see this country some day.but this is the next best thing for now.stay safe out there and thanks for the best ride ive ever had.until next the adventure. God bless.

These roads sure have changed over the years I started driving truck 1973 broke my back had to retire 2018 I hate retirement I miss the road but dont miss trucking the industry got ruined to me I'm headed out in 2 weeks on a road trip just to get away if I ever run into you I'll buy you dinner your videos are the only way I could ever ride shotgun..

Riding Shotgun : I can't thank you enough for uploading this fascinating video to KZread. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I live in Graceville, Florida, a little tiny town in northwest Florida, just three miles south of the Florida/Alabama State Line. I'd love to take a trip on that highway one day. It wouldn't bother me if my next door neighbor lived twenty or thirty miles away. You don't have that here in northwest Florida.

Love Hwy 50, bringing back some happy memories from days gone bye. Thanks for the ride.

I've lived in Utah for nearly 40 years, and I've never traveled on Hwy 50! Some day! Thanks for the tour, MMM!

I love "riding along" with you! I'd like to do it for real. I like your smooth banter about anything and everything - you just seem like you'd just be fun to be with. Good old US 50! One of my favorite destinations in the whole country! Yes a road like US 50 is definitely a destination as well as a way to get somewhere. It's just a long and skinny destination. My first exposure to US 50 was when I was 13 and moved with my folks from Colorado Springs to San Jose. I was enamored with the wide open spaces, quiet, loneliness and what many would no doubt call "desolation". Even at 13 LOVED it and still do! Today I live in such a place. Of course I've always been a "loner". I currently have an "adopted grandson" who is incredibly so much like in all of those respects and more when I was at his age (19). I love him dearly. He's currently traveling the country in an RV that he saved up to buy and then he thoroughly renovated it. He posts videos on YT of his travels. Take care and keep truckin' Love your videos.

22:29 awesome scenery.......thank you for sharing.....( and downloaded 🍺👍)

I travelled this.... very peaceful and enjoyable.

Did that area on a CB750 Honda in 1974. Part of 5 week trip “out West” from Michigan. Keep up the nice videos and stay safe on the road.

#134 Good morning, Mike. Happiness is the Highway, and you are Happy when the tires are turning. I know, me too! I'm getting my Motor Home ready, I call her "The Catherine Clipper", after my late wife. She is with me on my travels. I plan to checkout the northern highways near Canada, this summer. I need to keep moving at the age of 73.

Man that's some beautiful country. Love the view grate video

Just beautiful scenes and sights. You driving quite a lot miles every week. Have a safety drive and thx for the Virtuell Roundtrip across the USA. Uncle Günter from Germany

Hey hey MMM. I'm still here....stillwatching!! My life's been upside-down the last 2 months. Hub was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cell cancer. Its metastasized to his liver. 3 days before chemo started he got his 1st covid shot, he's been sick ever since. Finally this week he is feeling better, wanting to eat and get out a bit. Happy your still keeping betweenbthecditches!! Dee in Chicago

Mike, a simple thank you isn’t enough for taking us to places we will never see. I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes at the beauty around 50:00.

Thanks mmm nice ride along. JBG was just out in Salt Lake he was in awe going through Col. peace!!!

I love your videos Riding Shotgun! I'm from NC and I enjoy seeing other states. America is certainly a beautiful country. I love your profile picture by the way. MERICA!!! LOL

Haven't seen the choked chicken in awhile 🤣

Looks like I made shotgun again. Its been awhile. Let's ride.

Brilliant quality video, and that's every video,amazing scenery.

well, a friend of my son John is laying in the hospital on a ventilator; yup covid. He's got young children. Sure hope for their sakes he makes it. put a picture on Facebook. It doesn't even look like him. I'm diabetic. Had the shots. Didn't even get a sore arm out of it. No symptoms whatsoever. Like Dad used to say, "Kissing brings germs and germs are hated, but kiss me baby, im vaccinated"! Mom hollarin, Leo what are you tellings those kids?! LOL. Until next time: stay safe, please.

Your travel videos are very nice and interesting 👏👏👏😇🙏 Thank you for the videos and like how your always traveling through hwy 50👌👌🌻

really appreciate these videos. reminds me of my travels with my dad when i was a kid

You go captain... Ole Richie waving a hand..

Love your videos. Right on about the veterans, need to include their families. My husband spent 20 years in the Army. Passed away 10 years ago from cancer caused by Agent Orange Vietnam. I especially love your trips through Craig, Hamilton and Meeker. I have relatives who settled out there in the late 1800s. Also your travels through Moab and I 70, I worked in Canyonlands in the 1980s. Safe travels.

Thanks for the trip, God bless you on the road,

😍 Thank you Mike!

Beautiful country God bless you and keep you safe

Ely is named after Ely in the UK which is in the fens, a low lying marshy area. Ely has a large cathedral worth looking at, It sits on the Isle of Ely, a small area of dry ground. The name Ely derives from the abundance of eels in the surrounding water which in medieval times many were sent to the crown in London as a form of taxation.

Glad to see you again! I hope you are doing well. Thanks for the video!

Have a great day Mike. Saying "Hello" from Florida.

Great shots, thanks. Had to look it up before taking this route.

Wanted to take a trip to California, from Ohio, but Covid right now is halting the trip. As far as health goes, I stopped eating processed sugar and flour and it helped my pain immensely. It's called Bright Line Eating. I have a very balanced eating plan of veggies, fruit, protein, and fat. Not Keto, but very healthy.

I would argue that now is the best time for that trip. Especially if you are vaccinated. Less congested highways and hotels are CHEAP right now. disclaimer!!! This is not a political statement in ANY way, I work with immunocompromised elderly people. As a healthcare worker, i felt the need to do so. I AM NOT trying to convince anyone that doesn't want the vaccine. It was MY decision.

@@LKemp-lr1ky I HAVE experienced losing a friend to Covid. I also lost a friend in an auto accident who happened to have Covid when he was killed, and his death was counted as a Covid death! That should trouble everyone when it comes to the accuracy of reported Covid deaths. There is a vast difference between dying WITH Covid as opposed to FROM Covid. I don't have a problem with authority. But I DO have a problem with stupidity. Not one death has been reported anywhere in the world from Omicron, yet we are ready to shut down the country again over this mild variant of the virus. I absolutely refuse to be a part of this blind obedience to blatant stupidity.

Beautiful video.. Enjoyed riding along with ya,, Be Safe!

Nice to sit back and travel... I tell people I never got to see the country but saw most of it's roads but riding shotgun I can tear my eyes off the road and enjoy the scenery.

Mike, you ain’t 20 years old anymore. I know the feeling of having a beat up body it only gets worse. Check your drivers license you will find the problem where it says date of birth. I enjoy the rides thxs mike

Thank you What a great scary beautiful ride I am going Thanks again

Good morning to you, it looks a lovely day 🇬🇧😀

Good stuff like always 💯🤜🤛

Hi there. Watching from New Zealand. Love you videos and the great scenery. Always feel like I'm your passenger in there, with the friendly way with you chatter and good humor. Was listening to Rusty West earlier and his latest video is a series of strange experiences from truckers, one of the stories is from a trucker driving Hwy 50 at night, real creepy. You might be interested to check out. Made me wonder if you've had high strange experiences whilst driving those big open highways and would you be willing to share? Once again thanks for sharing you great rig videos, really enjoy.

Makes me want to head to the US and roadtrip right across the country.

Thanks for the ride Mike, that was a different route.

I like to see you driving and enjoy fully the scenery that I am looking at. I feel you as a very very good truck driver. North America and Canada our the most beautiful countries in all the entire world. So have a good day in the meantime.

Hi Mike, here`s a good tip for you, next time you fill your screen wash bottle up add some washing-up liquid it works a treat, I add about a quarter of a mug to a gallon then give it a good shake, I`m telling it really does work. as my Dad used to do was keep the pedal to the metal. lol

Amazing!

Yep, loved the warm vibrating seat and the wine dispenser...... where's the ice?

Were you tempted to yell at 34:45..."GET THE FLOCK OUTTA THE WAY?" Mike???

i am sitting here eating my breakfast and i hear " if im dead i dont knot it'.i almost lost my food.wow thats why we love to watch .

Drank four RC Colas and two Moon Pies in that right seat with my feet up on the dash. Good times.

Hi Mike, Thanks for taking us along on your travels. Not sure if running into deer is a problem, and if so Walmart back in automotive sells a pair of deer whistles that work. Important to place them according to directions. Happy Trails

Be safe friend!😊😊

Lovely touch with the sheep

Love old hwy 50. Its not great on fuel mileage, but it is cool to take 50 all the way into Sacramento. View of Tahoe from the mountain top is wonderful. Love riding shotgun with you. Moringa is great stuff.

I ran it outta Sacramento, CA .through Nevada. Beautiful.

Mike I love the video in fact I love them all

I drive that highway all the time... love it 👍

Love the commentary brother.

At one time it was a very lonely piece of road , much of it gravel but anyone with a Winnebago is on it today with all the hype. It was a lonely road when you drove from Eastgate to nearly Austin without seeing another moving vehicle.

I'm new to watching your channel, i enjoy watching your videos, my husband is a driver out of Aurora Oregon, long haul flatbed!

Nothing lonely about that place#!

Nice to get a look at this route. I'll be cycling this from sacramento in a couple of months time, part of a cross country route to new york. I'm a truck driver in Ireland, a bit greener over here

I look for Quality trucks on 180 N from Silver City, N.M., looking for ya/ wave to all truckers; thanx for sharing your skills and personality! Sure do love riding along these days, fun adventure for ol' granny

Good place to pass on by. Looks like the desert.
