lolol first off people like you "snowflakes" ARE THE PROBLEM, Second my subscribers are smart enough to understand "politics" is total Bullshit ALL OF IT. America is being dismantled from the insde out, and its very obvious so please maskk up shelter in place and UNSUBB!
Same here, I travel that trail all the time and all through Colorado and liberals do not close trails they make them accessible for other people. This guy is just an Trump sheep with little education.
I live here and work for Ouray County Road and Bridge, we're responsible for these jeep roads. You really do them justice Richie! So glad you love our neck of the woods as much as we do,
Met some road guys 3 weeks ago putting up new alpine loop sign at bottom of mineral creek/550! Real nice guys! Happiest road crew I've ever met all over the US! We appreciate all you guys do to keep these trails open for us all❤😊
When I wake up to a new 40+ min from Richie i give it hell yassss. Words can’t express how awesome it is to experience the footage and all around knowledge you give us. Thanks DOODE!!!
What an Awesome GOD who created such beauty! Thanks to the Frontier men who made those roads, and GOD BLESS YOU Brother for your Time, Sacrifice, your talent, your Generosity, Knowledge and those nerves of Steel!! We Praise GOD for you!!! You have brought GOD'S beautiful world to us !!! You are in our Prayers!
Poughkeepsie is my absolute favorite trail in those parts! Stunning & spectacular! Fortunately we got to do it twice, once going up & once coming down from corkscrew! Actually got to watch a deer lay down to bed right in front of my rig & it let me walk all the way up to it without moving! Incredible experience I'll never forget! Thanks for taking me back Richie! It's a hard place to leave!
I'm 69 and took my trusty o'l modified 95 Tacoma for it's 8th trip up Poughkeepsie recently. The beauty and the ruggedness keeps bringing me back as well as other trails in this area. I will be out and about as long as I am able to do so. Thanks for all the great footage and commentary, you put a lot into your video's. I pray you stay safe and blessed in your adventures.
Can we stop a minute and appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into filming very risky dangerous trails like this? To get out, walk up to place the camera, walk back to the truck and drive it. Then pull over to go retrieve your camera. Is so time consuming and dangerous too. Truly appreciate your hard work Richie. These views are absolutely amazing. Thanks so so much for sharing. Xoxox 😘
I am so blessed to live in beautiful Colorado, yet I am unable to go where you do on these trails. I am so thankful for you, Richie, that you film your adventures here in Colorado and give the history of these mining towns long forgotten. I have climbed many of the 14'ers here, run the rapids in the Arkansas river through many of the canyons, but only wish I could travel these 4x4 trails. Thank you for being such a blessing to me, and so many others that could only dream of doing, and seeing, the beauty you show is here in Colorado. I am truly grateful! God bless you
I really appreciate the history foundation you include with your presentations and of course, the "viewer inclusive" narrative and descriptions about the off-camber portions, sharp rocks, steepness, etc., and the fact that you stop along the way to take in the immersive beauty that is the absolute best part of the San Juan's as many people seem to rush these trails which I've never understood. It's virtually impossible to recreate the emotions and "seat of the pants" feelings that are a part of these trails but you come the closest I've seen without actually being there physically. The volume of traffic is somewhat shocking to me especially given that we're in the "shoulder season" now. I also notice far more retirees out there the last several years which contributes to the weekday traffic when the trails used to be far quieter. Travel safe and thank you for your outstanding efforts, the quality conveys your love for this special country !
Awesome footage Richie! Thank you brother for taking us along with you. I know it's a lot of extra work filming all of this but there are some of us that really appreciate it and enjoy it. Daniel
And you are so right...Words just can't describe the splendor of this place! It's indescribable! You do it justice though! Keep up the amazing work & play😊
Absolutely the best coverage I've seen Ritchie and the history lessons are unforgettable. You put so much effort and time into these for us. Thanks so much sir.
Went to Ouray in the winter of 2014. The canyon walls in the town are so crazy looking at night when the snow reflects the light up at them. I know this video was a lot of work for you... well done my brotha
@@jailbreakoverlander theres a part two ? Awesome. Can’t wait. Absolutely loving these videos. I wish I could do what you do just hit the road and go see America in all its glory. Enjoy your road trip R. I salute you. Ps more bitchute vids plzzzzz. I could listen to you all day. X
His Creation is a gift to us. I thought you might camp at that beautiful lake, but I guess you didn't, just a thought. It's even invigorating for us to watch. Awesome Richie. This is your calling. Stay blessed and thank you!!!!!!!! soooo much!!!!!
Great video Richie, in 1994-95 when I was younger and dumber my wife my youngest son and I drove our brand new 1994 GMC extended cab dually from Lake City up Engineer Pass and down Mineral Creek shelf road toward US 550 south of Ouray. Back then there were way fewer off-roaders so traffic was minimal. And yes, it was exhilarating!!
Trying to track down and repurchase my 1976 Datsun 4x4 conversion pickup that I purchased in 1981, it was originally a 2 wheel drive converted to 4x4 by the Datsun dealership in 1976, 3000lb thing would go anywhere! Drove it for 27 years and made the mistake of selling it when I bought a new 2006 Tacoma TRD quad cab 4x4, it was a nice truck but it's been sold. I haven't seen my old 4x4 Datsun in years, don't know where or what happened to it, gonna start knocking on doors where I'd last seen it, see if I can track down the kid I sold it to, I don't remember name/s, but if I find a landlord, I'll find that kid... Not to make light of your brother, but a lot of us know that to some of us vehicles are like family.
GOD is perfect look at THIS you're so Blessed my Big se*y ... I thank you so very much for showing US GODS great creation that I will never see except through ur view and I am blessed for THAT.. God 🙏 you 💚🦉
Oh my gosh!! Richie! Amazing footage. Great job. Thank you for showing me things I'll never get to see in my lifetime. I'm 55 years old and have MS, so I'll never see this kind of beauty. I'm a lover of streams and waterfalls and mountains and trees etc. This is right up my alley! Absolutely beautiful. And as for that lake, never in my life have I seen water that color either! Stunning and magnificent. I cried at the beauty in this video. I watch all your videos. I loved the Redwood Forest video a bunch too! Oh, and those stars!!!!! I've never seen anything like that in my life!! Like you, my dad showed me how beautiful stars are. Ever since he got me looking up at them as a child, I've always loved looking at the stars. But I've never seen anything that beautiful in my life! Thanks again, Brother in Christ.
Yes--as someone said thanks for all your work and attention. I will never see this. No human artist could ever rival this beauty that you've shown here. And the waterfalls--gushing pure water. Love the sound. Look forward to your next upload!
Absolutely beautiful views. Sure wish my old van could go there. I'd spend a month looking around up there. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.
Came off of Engineer Pass and mistakinly took Mineral Creek on a fully loaded Suzuki V Strom. Became extremely ill from dehydration and the altitude, couldn't even hold the bike up by the time I got to the intersection with Poughkeepsie. Went to lay down for a break and a couple in a Wrangler offered to take the bike down to Hwy 550. Swallowed my pride and accepted. That is something I will always remember. Thanks for the effort to make these vids. and you are not kidding, the San Juan's are some of the most scenic and dangerous mountains out there.
Richie, This footage has taken my breathe away! What a Beautiful Country the USA is!! Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey brother, I hope to visit this someday soon!
Richie, you live the life most people can only dream about, if they are blessed to have an imagination. I am in utter awe, every video gets better. Well except for the owl family❣️that was so special. Love your vids, travel on my good man and may God be with you always❣️
Your videos are just getting better and better I am always happy when I see a new upload and that trail was insane I love the history behind it I always try to imagine being there back when the west was wild its a romantic thought especially with the way our world is now
WOW...even though you didn't find a cave man, this video was still beautifully exciting. Thank you so much for taking us there. Peace and Grace from our Lord Yeshuah be with you always and much love
I picked up what you put down.... and holy CRAP!!! I wasn't even there and almost peed myself. Thank you so much for taping all that it was amazing. Stay safe Richie.
NO ONE DOES IT LIKE RICHIE!!! AMAZING!!! THANK YOU FOR ALLLL YOU DO!!! 💝💝💝 PRAYERS FOR YOU AS USUAL BELOVED!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVE ONES!!!🙇🏾♀️🙇🏾♀️🙇🏾♀️
Really enjoyed this well-done video. We appreciate the clarity, variety of shots, editing, and narration. Taking the time to set up shots, drive by, put cameras on the undercarriage, get drone video, etc. etc. really pays off in the finished video. My wife and I ran Poughkeepsie last year and loved seeing it again. Well done!
Awesome video. I have followed you for years and want you to know that I have always enjoyed your content. I just want to say thank you while I still can in this late hour we are living in. God bless you brother.
Man, that valley and gulch is beautiful. Nothing like driving up a flowing creek to rinse off your tires. Not to mention rock crawling on a shelf by a rolling creek. Amazing footage Riche glad you got that footage for your dad.
Whoa, Fabulous and Spectacular just aren’t enough to express the magnificent views and beauty of your journey. Gotta tell Yah, there were spots where I wondered what went through the minds of people that got up the in the olden days before cars and trucks. How blessed to see that there is actually scenic spots still like that in America. Once again my Bradah Richie you have out done yourself. I would have never been able to experience the wonder and beauty there without you sharing your journey. Thank you so much! God bless you Bradah! Stay safe and if not on this side of the vail, see you on the other side.
Great footage Richie. I lived in Ouray for 15 years. I only did Poughkeepsie once. The sharp boulders slashed a tire. It's rough. I used to telemark ski Corkscrew in the springtime. The snow let go once and I rode the slide down and was able to exit left before being piled up on the boulders at the bottom. It's a land of adventure for sure. I was on the mountain rescue team and retrieved a lot of people from precarious situations. Some survived and some not. That's part of the game. I also telemark skied Imogene Pass every spring starting at the top of Red Mountain Pass, across the ridge of Telluride Peak then down Imogene. We would stop and eat lunch at "the fort" before descending. Once I found myself standing on top of a Jeep Wrangler that didn't make it when the first major snow storm hit in late fall or early winter. I found the owner in town and he was able to retrieve his Jeep around mid June. He was blocking the trail for the bulldozer that clears the snow early in the year. But the dozer didn't make it that far that spring. It slid sideways off "The Wall". The driver jumped off and was okay. The dozer was relatively okay too after uprighting it. Tough machines. Caught in multiple avalanches in the snow tunnel on the Million Dollar Highway. Snowplows won't push through avalanche debris. Had to get articulating front end loaders to clear the road. Keeping people calm was the biggest challenge. The mountains aren't for everyone. I'm mountain biking the high country a lot and carry a Glock .40 S&W because of run-ins with mountain lions. It's God's country for sure.
Another Beautiful Video, Thanks So Much! I’ve Never Been Far From Home , Just Never Got The Chance, And Going On These Trips With You Are Truly A Blessing ❤️
Dude you have done an absolutely amazing job at filmmaking. This was one of the most beautiful and enjoyable videos I ever watched. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Richie! I loved this video, I love that you incorporate the history of the area into the video. We are able to enjoy the scenery and imagine what it was like way back then when they were mining. How hard life was back then. I really appreciate you taking me to these amazing places that I very likely will never see. Those mountains and valleys were beautiful, and that lake was gorgeous!
I liked your content until you made it political. Now I will not watch or listen.

Wow, thank you!
Thank you Richie! I loved this video, I love that you incorporate the history of the area into the video.
