Exploring the US in my Comanche, new video

[Htchevyii]

Our latest Nevada Ghost towns and abandoned mines exploration video is up on YouTube. Man, there are some cool spots to explore in NV! It was also amazing to drive for hours and hours without seeing another soul! The MJ kicked @$$ on the 1550 mile trip.

 

Thanks to all of you that have taken time to watch out videos!

Thanks for watching!

I do know why and we found many more the next day!

It's part of the Fallon NV TOPGUN training base, there aren't any restrictions on visiting, no live munitions are used.

 

It is located southeast of the city of Fallon, east of Reno in western Nevada. Since 1996, it has been home to the U.S. Navy-Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN) taking over from the former NAS Miramar, California, and the surrounding area contains 240,000 acres (97,000 ha) of bombing and electronic warfare ranges.

My Wife and I always enjoy when your new videos come out. Thank you guys for sharing.  You always do a great job with editing the videos to keep them interesting, keep up the good work!  Where’s the XJ been?

Another great video. I'll say again how much I appreciate your taking us along on your treks. And it warms my heart to see your MJ being used for real-life explorations, just like a Jeep should be used. They way you have it set up is just about perfect.

 

I went over to YouTube and left a "Like."

Oh the XJ is around and probably would have made more sense to drive on this trip, since it's white and has A/C. But the MJ camping setup is dialed and so much  easier. The XJ was down for paint for a few months, I think that I posted a picture somewhere. I think that we're going to head off in it to the Gambler 500 near Bend OR next weekend. Thanks for the support!

Thanks @Eagle! Yes, it works pretty well for us, I do need to finish the A/C conversion at some point, (I swapped in the A/C heater box and dash controls already). There is no need for AC at home,  but we often miss it on trips. We actually came home 3 days early on this trip because 100+ temps were forecast.  Thanks for watching!

Nice video, how was cellular reception at those ghost towns?
 

That door now needs an updated sticker.

Not much cell reception on most of the trip and I prefer it that way!

 

We do carry a Garmin satellite communicator with us in case of an emergency. The crummy part about it is that it costs $12.00 per month for the service, weather you use it or not.
