Sorry to hear about your step dad. My daddy been gone for 18 years and I still miss him. I guess a girl never gets too old to want her daddy at times.
You’re always so calm driving into trouble. Much respect. My father drove for 30 years and I have to wonder if he was a badass as well. He must have been to drive for that long. Thanks for all you guys do for us.
My father been driving for 32 years, and yes they are bad asses brother! They are!
I know this is old. You probably won't see this. I am stuck inside this small room for health reasons. I watch you videos on KZhead every day for hours and hours. You always make it feel like were actually hanging out. Love your videos.
Quite a lightning show! I love how you maintain a steady calm even in difficult driving conditions! Much love to you and all the truckers who move all the goods around. You keep this country rolling!
Who'd have guessed that riding on a long haul through the desert would help me unwind after a frustrating day. Pure zen.
I'm 41 years old, hard for me to imagine what road travel was like before our amazing Interstate system was built. Appreciate you showing us how things are on this feat of engineering.
That’s some awesome lightning strikes. ⛈⛈⛈
There's something mesmerizing about a lightning storm, with rain pelting the windshield and the windshield wipers slappin' out the tempo, keeping perfect rhythm... Well, you know what I mean.
Fantastic light show. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks bro. The lightning was awesome.
Oh my goodness! I've never seen anything like this in my whole 80 years of life. Keep on being safe young man. I truly enjoy your video's. And I appreciate the time you take to do this for us.
Nice light show. As always a good ride with Mountain Man Mike. God bless , stay safe.. I love your channel Mike. I hate you have to drive in the rain. Take a break and get some rest..🇺🇸♥️🌹
I like the light show be safe on the road
Glory be to Him whom the thunder praises and the angels glorify in His fear
Wow, that was an awesome storm AND awesome driving. Outstanding MMM PEACE. ✌️
Spectacular! ! What a Light show! THIS is the BEST birthday present I have received today! Mike, Thank you SO MUCH for this one. usually I'm not a fan of the desert but THIS ONE WAS AWESOME! My condolences to your Father-n-Law
There's just something about being in the desert with a storm up ahead that's just so breath taking.
Watching videos during a thunderstorm is the best. It's so relaxing.
Wow what a cool video!! ✌️☮️ Condolences on the passing of your step dad.
Hey Mike stay safe out there. Enjoy the ride along
Wonderful lightning storm!!!
Hi Mike: sorry about your step father passing, I’m 83 and I know it can come at anytime. Nice light show. Been good to hear from you 3 days in a row. Be safe keep em coming thanks. Edward
Have been fascinated with thunder and lighting! It brings a peace to my soul as crazy as that sounds! Stay safe!
Man love the smell of desert rain, sage and creosote. Reminds me of home
3 in a row!! Thank you. Always enjoy your videos 🤗
Hello wow what a light show I remember that well out there when I drove for Simon trucking went 20 years 10 for Simon trucking and 10 for Longley Steel fab from Kaufman Texas now Long since closed , but those monsoons can get very dicie also slot up in Colorado have family in Grand Junction Colorado injoy your videos thank you brings me back to a simpler time in my life now retired I HATE It. So building semi Truck kits that's okay but not the same very good at that stuff.
My husband drove for Dick Simon in the 80s. You may have heard of this crazy CA driver back in the day. He did drive to Atlanta, Georgia during the Olympics. He had an Olympics watch from there which he must have lost some time after we got together. I remember seeing it.
@@volaf1218 Yeah I had to go to Atlanta for service and see some friends yeah I think I might heard of of him
@@williamtuton6178 My husband just corrected me. It was 96? (He drove from 94 to 97). So whenever the Olympics were there. His dispatcher was Simon, Jr. (Mr. Playboy, women, Corvette---my husband owned 3). He was not the one from Eureka but the one from Sacramento....He said the CA 6 or something as he walked away.
@@volaf1218 oh the one I knew was from Eureka , I spent a lot of time in the south and some in the north east going to sleep now but if you would you can text response tomorrow.
Always liked this video. One of my favorites.
Lol on your driving. My father was a truck driver from 16 years and he passed in1989.
Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Sleepless in Delaware (2:00 am).
Osiyo. U R such a great driver and sooooo calming to listen to. Could listen to U 24 -7. Blessings and safe travels.
This has to be one of your best videos, that lightning storm was epic!
One thing you know when you riding with Mike you always always be safe. This old trucker knows what he s doeing, throug the years of driving experience, the knowledge of it , from the Netherlands.
Ty Antoon.. appreciate it.
@@ridingshotgun1251 dear sir you r work and perseverens and responsebilety to other drivers makes the economy and althouh from the netherlands i thank you for your hard work like other drivers in my family. I wish you and yours the best of luck and healht.
Beautiful Storm in a highway! Thanks for the video! God bless your trips!
Howdy howdy 🤠 good evening enjoy the the rain 🌧 safe travels 👍👍✌️
Fantastic lightning! Safe travels, and thanks for all the great videos this week!
A rainy night in Georgia,, no wait,, a rainy night in the far far west. Be careful on your way back to CA in the V. Good for you to honor you stepfather. The family will enjoy seeing you.
I hope you're safe. But I love thunder and lightning. Don't care for tornadoes at all. Not one bit. Love the rain and snow, but hate hail.
Awesome lightning, really enjoyed it. Thanks
Love the Gilligan's Island reference at the beginning. Years ago while traveling East on I10 a few miles West of Houston I ran into one if these storms. The lightning was so intense and frequent my eyes couldn't recover fast enough between flashes and I had to pull over and ride it out. Sounded like a good idea at the time until I realized where I stopped was flooding and water was pooling rapidly.
I love that lightning storm!
What a beautiful Sky!!! Love storms!!! Great Video!!!
Thanks Mike Central California Watching
You never know it might all come to you in a flash 📸😉
Nice to hear Grand Junction named randomly as this is the first video of yours I have watched. I was actually born and raised there for 13 years before the family moved to Phoenix, AZ. It's nice to go home every once in a while. I love it there but not great for job selection. I see you have a more recent video with Grand Junction, will definitely check that one out too.
I like mother nature's fireworks. No flooding is good. Keep on Truckin Sir. Love your videos. Please keep up the great videos.
You are an excellent truck driver!! It was also neat to watch and listen to the storm/lightening! MN is very dry this simmer, therefore not many thunderstorms. Thanks for taking us with you!! 😊
I've been loving the Vegas weather! It's totally not the norm and I like it!
Love video
Rain, rain,.... Hello from México city
AWESOME STORM. Thanks for the ride Mike.
beautiful! 💗
I've seen trucks blown over on I-15 between Vegas and Mesquite before. That kind of weather isn't scary in a car, but in a big rig I bet it's pretty nerve-racking. Thanks for the awesome light show!
Thanks for sharing this. I love thunderstorms an have drove in quite a few but not in a big rig. Well Done! Happy for you getting the Caddy back! Hope it gives you many happy adventures and travels! Take Care And Stay Safe!
Suicidal tumbleweed.. lol!!! Love your storm, just wish we got them here though. Love storms!! Thank you for taking us on your adventures over the highways and byways of the US. Have a wonderful weekend!!!
What a light show!! 'Noice noice'
Lighting show was good tonight around Farmington, the sky was shining!
Az has been having quite an active monsoon season. Also, we had an incredible dust storm about a week ago. Could not see the Santa Catalina Mountains. Be safe out there!
In Big Sky Country, you can really see your exciting lightening show. Very cool! Enjoy tripping with you. Be safe....
That is for sure a GREAT LIGHT SHOW I LOVE IT.
Beautiful 😌🛣👍
That was a wicked lightening storm. Glad you made it out of there safely.
Love the lighting show.
The light show is spectacular!
You made me crack up with the suicidal tumbleweeds 😂😂😂
Another amazing lightning show occurred on July 25th that year, 2021. Looked like a supercell was coming in, I didn’t get a direct hit but still I lost power for almost 8 hours.
GREAT VIDEO! Loved the light show on my big screen tv, only thing missing was the smell of fresh rain on the sage brush 🤗
Mountain Man Mike, I really enjoy your videos, you bring to your viewers your view from the driver's seat, trucking along highways, some of which I have traversed, and some which I have not. You give me inspiration to do some of those I have not. Keep up the good work, not only with your real job, but also with these great videos. Love you, man! "Keep On Truckin', Baby!" (Eddie Kendricks, 1975 or so) PS: get that crack in your windshield fixed! Probably the least of your worries.
WOW!! that was some storm ..and lightening. .glad you made it thru it safe.. Great video!! Be safe!
we here in NH had hazy skies from the fires out west...it was high in the atmosphere so no smoky smell......love the lightning show!
love the light show !
Love the light show!!
Wow man I thought my phone was cracked. But it’s your windshield. Ha ha
Loved the lighting ✨ show, especially at night! Great video.
Dang, dude! Your a stud! Thank you for the spectacular ride. I enjoyed it from the safety of my cozy chair. Pretty smokey out here in cali. Best wishes stay safe!
I remember the days of vaccume windshield wipers. Yee-Haa!!! Thanks for your service.
18 yrs old on my motorcycle I encountered the same weather in that area coming back from Denver in '74. Scary night.
Lightning, rain, wind, hail and kamikaze tumbleweed....all on a motorcycle! My hat's off to you sir!
Nice to see you. Good traveling with you. Beautiful country
Now that's a sight to see a storm.
I think you should give up on trying to keep a chip free windshield. LOL. PEACE ✌️
Thank you Mike for the excellent upload..... Sounds kind of sad but can't wait for the next adventure. :-)
Great video!! So sorry for your loss 🙏🙏🙏🙏 stay safe!!
WOW ! Nice Video 👍👍👍
Enjoyed the Light Show! Wishing you safe travels.
Thanks! I really enjoyed this video.
Beautiful there. Stay safe and ❤ careful super trucker
Beautiful video. Wouldnt mind seeing some of the smoke out there although we are seeing plenty of their smoke in Iowa.
I miss being on the truck! My mom drove for 25 years for Freymiller and never had an accident … I think only 2 tickets, but being in the truck with her was amazing! At the time I was 16 so seeing new places and getting to travel to so many states was actually the highlight of my life!!
@Super Genius She really was bad ass. She was only 4’10” and had 2x4 cut blocks on her pedals!!!
I sure enjoy rideiing shotgun with you .today was great the rain n lightning was soothing
Safe roads always trucker in bad and good weather 👍✋
Wow!!! Greatings from Brazil
Amen to that question
Belo vídeo.....nada a a fazer a não ser manter a calma!! 👏👏✌
👍👍 love it! Thank You!
I find when driving in an electric storm, a somewhat satisfaction that I am inside and covered, where as bikers out and exposed to the elements have a pretty rough time - hence why I am opting out of buying a Can-Am Spyder or Ryker . Cheers Mike.
I feel ya I had to crank the legs down on my trailer and it was lightning flashing all around me it scared the crap out of me I think I scaled the steps and jumped straight up into the cab..lightning scares me ..if I'm inside the truck I'm fine as long as I don't touch nothing metal but outside I'm like a scared cat..lol
Thank For Ride Happy Trucking
Beautiful road my friend!Good Job!
Real cool. You're safe in a truck when driving through a lightning storm.
Wonderful Lıght show
Wonderful view with look like Christmas lights. Keep safe and keep on trucking
While truckers share a mentality, similar situations, and quest for solitude, most truckers will channels don’t have the great photography, insight, or great conversational manner you have, Mike. Most truckers have a gruff voice and manner, though truckers look like brothers. Drive on!
