well good morning YouTube welcome to the Bonneville Salt Flats here in Utah we're
gonna have some fun today it is a beautiful day up here in the mountains
we're on BLM land obviously you see I'm ready for an adventure today on the TW
200 look at this a strange strange place yeah this is the site of several land
speed records of the past I think the 60s or 70s was the last time
any record was broken out here but people still come out here to try and
today we're gonna have some fun on the bike before we get out of here so let's
see if we can break some records out here what do you say
what do you guys think of my view the salt flats out there it almost looks
like snow off in the distance nope just salt Utah is so strange I feel
like I'm in another country which reminds me when was the last time like I
even saw another human being it's been four or five days you could have fooled
me as far as I know it's just Jax and I out here in the world
apocalypse and that's fine by me boy boy I want to stay here one more night and
then we'll head out in the morning for new adventures on east on the Lincoln
Highway Wow yeah let's stay here one more night does
that does that make you feel better about yourself when you scratch that
thing won't go aside I'm glad I got leash go okay go play outside Oh
Sunshine's also Sunshine's huh you think be my glasses which cat glasses and a
flop that a desert flop
like my duct-tape work there guys how's that look
yeah go ahead and stick around till the end maybe I'll put a blooper in at the
very end of the video but the lens is broke and the holder for the lens is
broke so I need to pick up a new one of these soon eventually sometime anyway
blooper at the end maybe well I tell you I have used the bike a lot out here at
this site right here just three miles to Lincoln Highway is a little gas station
down there tourist shop since I love this place so much I got a Bonneville
Salt Flats blue magnet and it features the blue flame which is a famous famous
rig that was out here rig it's a flying machine basically I may have been wrong
about my stats but in 1970 the blue flame same spot where I had the bike out
here earlier a couple days ago he hit 622 miles per hour
they call it a flying rocket because it's literally like above the ground
there in the Salt Flats but that's fast that's a that's a fast rig a Blatz
burger
hey checking back in guys do you know this is actually day four out here
that's right mmm in the past if I ever did something
like this I may not talk with you guys as much I may not share as much I may
just let three or four days in the same spot go by and try to keep the content
fresh but in this case you know I I really felt like I needed this I really
felt like I just wanted to do non touristy stuff for a little bit and just
kind of experience nature so that's why this video probably has a totally
different feel than normal because it's not like going out and looking for
quirky stuff it's about just living the RV life in the middle of the desert off
solar and a couple times I've tilted the panels in the middle of the day I don't
think it does much this time of year you know especially when the Sun moves over
there and they're tilted you'll actually get less so it's better to keep them
flat for the most part it's been pretty windy out here I did have a fire last
night well my propane fire it was really nice and peaceful and it's kind of
strange being in the middle of nowhere and then just to have a fire and wonder
if people can see you from like miles away singing to yourself and dancing
around like like an idiot but I love it it's fun
Jax loves it out here and like I said from time to time things may just feel a
little different out here this Lincoln Highway trip is not all about Lincoln
Highway it's also about just relaxing and seeing new nature and I love Utah
the weather is perfect boy have I earned this sunshine oh my goodness I've earned
it a lot as for the water situation you see I've got the three levelers out on
my tires on this side that's because on the other side of my RV this will make
sense do I think I tried to explain this before but since I was sloping down that
way a little bit where the pump is it's basically on this side of the RV for the
water tank if you're tilted too much you can have water in the tank and not be
able to pump it through your system so by kinking that back up like that
essentially what I did was I allowed there to be a little
more water and it looks like I have more water than I thought I did and that
being the main reason actually why I stayed here another couple days so I was
gonna have to get on the road for fresh water and then I didn't then I was happy
so when I preach to you guys that if I find an opportunity to top off water I
always do it I mean it guys even if I know I'm a 3/4 full of water if I get
the opportunity to bring the hose out and top it off I always want to because
it could be all the difference at the tail end of a boondocking trip where you
love it so much but guess what you got a lead because you're out of water and
actually I may have to Oh like why am i hearing myself I was rendering the video
that you're watching yeah hang on anyways world I'm gonna be saying
goodbye to the silver island mountains here in Utah and getting back on the
road I would have to say out of all the places I've been in the last two months
in this country this is my favorite spot absolutely
it's not even that remote I mean I can get back to Lincoln Highway in three
minutes on the bike I think a lot of my viewers out there have gotten really
used to me traveling around and sharing quirky stuff and moving every single day
so often times when I post a video like this it gets a lot less views it gets a
lot of hateful comments it gets random hundreds of more thumbs down because a
lot of the people out there think it's my job to entertain you with fresh
quirky content and I've been that to myself in a lot of ways but you know I I
do feel it's important to point out that this was a lot more fun than traveling
staying here at this spot here for me and so as a future retirement planned I
may do more of this in 20 30 years of YouTube still around
oh okay I gotta see new stuff too it's all good I understand you guys are just
around for the journey you can express your opinions all you like I'll take
that into consideration but be mindful that this is my life
my sanity as well I'm the one out here talking to a camera with nobody for
three square miles around me so guys have a wonderful terrific day Jackson
I'll see you on the road the Lincoln Highway in two days
anyway it's gonna be saying goodbye to the silver crest mountain even right
Eric you can't just make it up silver island mountains way off
Samsonite puts way off
you
