I Visited the Most Remote Town in the USA (Outside of Alaska)

P.S. Jase asked me to tell y'all that there IS, in fact, a small gas station in Jarbidge where you can fill up ;) My bad!

I work for the US Forest Service and have lived in numerous remote towns across the west. You did a great job portraying Jarbridge. especially how kind people in these small towns really are.

[realityaskew]

We live 22 miles down a dirt road and it is by far the most content I have ever been. The level of quiet and peacefulness is just amazing. Given the world situation, living away from others isn't a bad thing.

Been there. Back in the 80's I was working on a road paving project from the Idaho border through Mountain City and south toward Elko. One weekend I ventured out to Jarbidge. An old-timer took an interest in a local history book I was reading so I gave it to him. He rewarded me with a personal tour of many of the local mines in his delapidated old land rover. A treasured experience.

So I drive a delivery truck in the mountains, out in the middle of nowhere like this. Not here exactly but my average route is about 200-250 miles per day. I laughed so hard when the UPS truck drove by and she was surprised. Yes, carriers go to some unbelievable places these days

[lynnkramer]

My father was their doctor. He lived in Twin Falls, and sometimes he had to get there by helicopter, sometimes by snow coach. We used to spend a week there per year doing wellness checks (physicals) There was a clinic with a nurse who volunteered to stay for a month and then rotate with another. There were communications with a radio with the USFS.

I grew up in Florida. Did not realize it turned into one big city around me. I moved to Arkansas and it was the greatest decision I ever made. Every road is breathtaking here. People are friendly and kind. Your video reminded me of moving here to Saint Joe. Have another 40 acres off grid with a cabin I built. There is a cave system and waterfalls. All the neighbor's are nice and treat you like family. This is the America I forgot about. Loved your video, thank you.

My older sister was born there in 1932. She was delivered by a mid wife, probably a relative of Jane. My dad was a Forest Ranger and Jarbridge, was his first district. My mom was born in Kanab UT and was head waitress at the lodge on the N rim of Grand Canyon when they married. I often wonder of her sanity, moving to and enduring life in such a tough situation in the 30's. I was born in Mt. City in 35 and have lived in Elko, Austin and Moab Ut. Plus 13 more residences. I always know my neighbors and help them in anyway I can.

I always think about and appreciate all the hard labor of the people that built those long roads that most people always take for granted and never take even a second to think about or appreciate.

[brentjohnson]

I live in Elko, grew up, going to Jarbige in the winters, always going in from the Nevada side. Once as a child, I was the first visitor to enter from nevada side via a snowmobile. You did a beautiful job depicting our secret world of Jarbidge. A memory I’ll cherish forever. The people were so welcoming and supportive. I was an impressionable young man only 12 or 13 my first time making it all the way in through the snow covered mountains it took several days and countless struggles. Your video took my mind back to that moment I made it. Thank you 🙏

[joeoutabout]

You did a great job with this video. I love Jarbidge. I lived in Elko 35 years ago, and worked with an old man, everyone called Tuffy. One day I asked him about his name. He told me he was born in Jarbidge. This would have been early 20th century. He said that when he was only a few months old, his family left Jarbidge for Elko, over the mountain, in winter. They were on horse back in a snow storm and he survived, so they called him Tuffy for being so tough. I'm so happy you saw it for yourself.

The relationship and memories you have with your dog is something that is so special!

[jeffprice]

You have to split the wet wood. No matter how wet, the middle is always dry... So split it and get the core burning, then use what little fire you can get started to dry the rest and it builds on itself. Once you have a good fire, keep wood standing around the perimeter and once dry, the logs will start smouldering as they heat to the point of combusting... In car camping, also, don't be afraid to pour a little lamp oil onto the logs to get things started.... :)

When you get far out away from the cities and into the natural beauty, and meet real people, you find what America 🇺🇸 is truly about. It's truly a beautiful thing. ❤

[nemz]

I'd love to move here and help maintain the place since most of the residents are old. it would be a shame to see such a beautiful place and people dissappear because there are no new residents.

[RoaringJaguar]

This movie really made my day. Awesome storytelling, cinematogrophy, editing and production overall. I love it!

[jodydickson]

Oh how awesomel!!! My grandmother used to live in Jarbidge as a girl. It was a mining community, and her family ran a store and laundry service there! They used to wash the miners clothes! I’ve wanted to go see it ever since my grandmother passed away this year!😭

[Stevin]

This was such a wholesome video. Loved it. Small town people might get a bad rap but they’re some of the nicest and welcoming people you’ll ever meet.

[danhoover]

The Jarbidge wilderness is one of the most beautiful places. Camped fished and hunted there for many years. Glad to see this area cast in a positive light. Very friendly folks in Jarbidge

[sillywilly]

Was raised in a small town in New Mexico. The roads out there lead to some of the most wonderful places you could ever see. I live in NYC and the thing I miss the most are those big skies in the Southwest and the tall mountains that you can see from miles away.

I visited Jarbidge in 1993. Was at a wedding in Burley with +20 of my family from ireland, we headed up with a farmer friend of my Dad's from Eden and took over the town. My late Dad and aunts, my mother, my wife, my brothers, their wives, our cousins, the whole lot of us had a rip-roaring night. It was my first trip to USA and my most memorable. I've been in America many times since, but never back to Jarbidge. My mother still talks about my ultra-respectable aunt from Dublin, Aunt Marie, getting locked up in that jail. Jim Shawver from Eden, he's gone now to, o but he had such a night we had to nearly drag him home. He eventually got into the car, slid across the back seat and straight out the other door and back into the town. Such great memories.
