Zebras, camels, donkeys, wild horses, aliens, cool old forgotten towns with vintage style---this video has it all, Adam!! I love this one so much! I sometimes think that you're one of the luckiest people on Earth! Your road trip videos are the best of the best!

This was fun. I'm from the area so I can help out with a couple of things. Pioche is pronounced pee-ohsh. The reason for daytime headlights is that when large stretches of desert roads and highways get hot it causes a sort of mist-like distortion. Headlights help make cars more visible to other drivers within that distortion.
I hope you spend more time in the area!

Now these are my favorite type of videos of yours. Traveling through the states and small towns without an actual planned route and coming across interesting things along the way. much fun. Thank you for doing these and sharing them with us, Adam. Very relaxing and fun to watch. Stay safe out there.

Interesting fact: that entire train and the set up it sits in was once in front of Main Street Station Casino. The Casino owner across the street bought the land to build a parking garage. He bought the Train and I believe donated it to whoever would pay to have it moved. You are the G.O.A.T Adam. You always find the best places...thanks

I’m from Scotland and I love America, and I love these old quiet western towns, they’re just like you see in the movies! Love how everyone’s into the alien stuff too, likely because they’ve seen so much stuff themselves out there 👍

This is a great thing that you are doing for Nevada. Most people don't know about the wonders we have here in the Silver state. The one thing I would like to recommend is continuing on to Great Basin National Park. It will give you a completely different view of Nevada. It has very impressive mountains, forests, and even a cave to tour. Wheeler Peak is awesome. It looks like a pyramid glacier sticking out of the surface of the earth. Didn't d the cave though no dogs allowed. Except service dogs. Yeah no lazy dogs, really wow. Thanks again for the shout out.

I love this series man. There's something peaceful about forgotten places. I'm from India, and if I ever visit USA, I'm gonna make sure to spend some time in the countryside and small towns.

Thanks for this one Adam. I'm just not feeling very well today mentally and your videos always remind me that life doesn't always suck. Seeing wild horses, and interesting landscapes and those long deserted drives sometimes can be therapeutic.

Adam you're correct, that train is the one from Orlando. A developer by the name of Bob Snow who was a big player here in Florida purchased a hotel in old Vegas and named it Main Street Station as a hat tip to Church Street Station. He then brought in relics from all over the world including a few of those train cars which used to reside in Orlando and put them in and around his Vegas casino. The rail cars were used by Buffalo Bill Cody and Annie Oakley during their traveling shows pre Deadwood days. Bob Snow was a prolific collector of various rare items from around the world. I used to own a claw-foot bathtub from England that was in his collection. He started liquidating things and then sold the Main Street Station to the Boyd group some years back. The open desert is a strange and mysterious place.

Those wild horses were something to behold. Loved it.

My Dad grew up in Pioche. My Grandpa worked in the mines. It was always a fun place to visit. It always felt like we went back to a better time. Love your videos Adam!

Loved seeing the wild 🐴 horses! What a nice surprise to see 2 adults and a baby horse in the wooded area, near the highway. Thank you for talking with them, and cautioning them to keep away from the road! Cheers, SG

Those layers in the mountains were actually the bottom of ancient seas from 1/4th to up to 3/4ths of a billion years ago! Blows the mind, right! This sort of video is the type I like the most from you! Kudos!

7:35 That train IS from the Main Street Station hotel in Las Vegas! That train, canopy and all, stood in a parking lot outside of the hotel for ages, but the land was sold to make way for the new Circa hotel (specifically its parking garage). So great to see that the entire display has been preserved!!

Of the seven years I've been watching, this may be my favorite vlog. The Ward Charcoal Oven State Historic Park was definitely an awesome find. Thanks for taking us all along Adam.

I could hear in your voice how happy and excited you were when you found Pioche and all it's treasures. (Not like you sounded in Vegas haha). I enjoyed this video, Adam. Thank you!

[sarakeith]
