A short (less than 4 min) wrap up of the little we were able to experience at the 2024 Route 66 Fun Run - a car show and cruise that happens every year! We were "late to the party" since we were limited on time and, for us, it was a way out of the way stop to be able to catch at least some of the festivities. We hope that we can make it again next year for the entire weekend of fun!

During the first week of April, 2024, we decided to take a trip we’ve been wanting to take for a long time. A road trip on “The Loneliest Road in America!” Dubbed such by Life Magazine in 1986, The Loneliest Road is the stretch of Hwy. 50, aka The Lincoln Highway, that runs East-West across the Silver State. That is, the state of Nevada. Because of limited time, we decided to fly to Salt Lake City, UT where we would rent a car in order to take the road trip of a lifetime. The drive from SLC to the Nevada border, where The Loneliest Road in America begins, was a stunning display of beauty within itself but the real adventure begins when we reached the border. Travel with us to places where time has stood still since the mid-1800’s, where the Pony Express galloped, Stagecoaches traversed through western towns and treacherous & dangerous passageways, steam trains roared across tracks laid by pure strength & might without the use of modern equipment. Where architects & craftsmen took pride in the buildings they created for family, business, & worship that would honor the people who entered in and stand the test of time. Where prospectors travelled hundreds and even thousands of miles in hopes of striking it rich. And where hard-working, hard-drinking, rough-necked miners came to work laboriously in dark and dangerous tunnels that ran directly beneath where they lived, sometimes as deep as 3000 ft, to detonate rocks with sticks of dynamite and crush those rocks with pure grit in order to extract silver, gold, and other metals and gemstones from the earth. To a place where nature shows her stunning beauty in majestic display. The Loneliest Road In America is long stretches of 2 lanes that connects small towns of grandeur that stand quietly and pridefully beneath snow capped mountains. And a place where Paiutes and Shoshone left their marks that have stood the test of time for as long as 7000 years! 00:00:00 Opening 00:00:52 Introduction 00:02:30 Flight from BUR to SLC 00:05:33 Checking into Orem AirBnB 00:08:31 Leaving Orem 00:14:40 State Line Nevada 00:20:01 Baker NV 00:21:32 Great Basin Nat'l Park 00:24:53 Great Basin/Lehman Cave Visitor Ctr 00:29:10 Entering Ely White Pine County 00:33:04 White Pine County Museum 00:38:20 Entering Downtown Ely 00:41:00 Hotel Nevada 00:43:03 Jailhouse Casino 00:46:23 Touring Ely 00:51:41 Arrive Nevada Northern Railroad Museum 00:58:10 Tour Nev Nor Railway Machine Shop 01:02:20 Leaving Ely 01:03:50 Coming Into Eureka 01:05:06 Tour Eureka 01:10:31 Leaving Eureka 01:13:34 Coming into Austin 01:14:53 Arrive Austin/Dinner at Grandma's 01:16:23 Drone Over Austin 01:18:15 Tour Austin 01:25:40 Stokes Castle 01:29:44 Leaving Austin 01:33:10 Arrive at Cold Springs 01:36:27 Cold Springs Pony Express 01:37:13 Cold Springs Overland Stagecoach 01:38:51 Middlegate aka Middle of Nowhere 01:41:03 Drive to Fallon 01:42:09 Stone Cabin Coffee House 01:44:29 Drive Through Fallon 01:45:28 Churchill County Museum 01:48:10 Tour Fallon 01:50:46 Grimes Point Petroglyphs 01:53:12 Drive to Virginia City 01:57:30 Virginia City Walk Around 02:04:36 Virginia City Drone 02:05:26 Drive Down Hill from Virginia City 02:06:07 Quick Tour of Dayton 02:07:06 Arrive at Carson City 02:09:40 Nev State Museum - US Mint 02:13:44 Nevada State Capitol 02:15:29 Closing Remarks - Driving to Tahoe 02:18:55 Passport Book Completion 02:19:20 Closing Scene Drone Over Hwy 50 #roadtrip #history #travel #americana #mainstreetofamerica #smalltowns #roadstops #roadsideattractions #nostaligia #backroads #freeways #highways #interstatetravel #trainstation #museums #militarymuseum #ontwolanes #on2lanes #adventure #exploringtheUS #ontheroad #behindthewheel #ely #nevada #loneliestroad #lincolnhighway #theloneliestroad #austinNV #fallonNV #carsoncity #virginiacity #nevadanorthernrailroad #northernnevada #eureka #eurekanv #stokescastle #coldsprings #coldspringsnv #ponyexpress #overlandstagecoach #virginiaandtruckee #middleofnowhere #middlegate #middlegateNV

Our home city of Simi Valley is probably best known for being the home of The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. But there's so much more to Simi Valley. This short video takes a look at the east end which has been the setting for countless movies, TV shows, and commercials - mostly westerns. Please enjoy this Quick Look at our home town from the air. And check back sometime this summer when we'll explore the whole city and much of the colorful history of Simi Valley.

The media has made a big deal out of this convoy saying they're violent right wing extremists, hell bent on starting a civil war. Nothing could be further from the truth! Annette and I attended the Rally in San Ysidro, CA and had a blast traveling with the convoy to El Centro, CA (1 hour from the final destination in Yuma, AZ). Here are just a few clips from a very inspiring and hope filled day. For more about the TOBB group, please don't listen to the media. Visit takeourborderback.com for the truth. Or attend a rally where everyone is glad you came (unless you're an infiltrator).

Just a few of the things I got to see at #ces2024 . Most of this is from the full day I spent at Eureka Park, the part of the show that is dedicated to Start-Ups, research companies, colleges & universities, etc. from ALL over the world. I met so many really nice people!

We spent last weekend in Gilbert, AZ celebrating our grandson's 3rd birthday. Here's a slideshow and a little bit of video commemorating the event.

In September 2023, Annette and I took a day trip about 90 minutes from our home in Simi Valley. During our 15 day road trip to Dallas and back, we missed many things on Route 66 due to time constraints. A few of the things we missed were in San Bernardino so we took a day to check them out and share our adventure right here with you.

Today, we stayed local and browsed the street fair in our home town of Simi Valley, CA and had lunch (or maybe "Linner") at a local Mexican Restaurant, Huarache Express. Here's a wrap up of the day. #simivalley #streetfair #huaracheexpress #travel #adventure #local #michaelmoffatt #annettemoffatt #americana

Galpin Auto's HUGE 9th Annual Car Show held on 10/15/23. Unfortunately, Annette was unable to attend this with me but I hope you'll enjoy watching this, anyway. This is one of my favorite car shows! They have it all - antiques, classics, restomods, hotrods, custom builds, rat rods...you name it! This video only represents a very small part of the festivities.

On Day 1 or our 15 Day Road Trip, we travel from our home in Simi Valley and pick up Route 66 in Pasadena (we could have started at the end in Santa Monica, but anyone who knows LA traffic knows that would have added several hours to our journey). We ended our day in Needles, the home of Spike, with several stops along the way. If you don't know who Spike is, be sure to tune in. Be sure to catch the rest of our trip with more to come. No, we won't be uploading videos for each of our 15 days on the road. We spend 2 or 3 days in a few places and some places we saved for the trip home. So we'll condense it down to 7 or 8 videos and we'll also go back and visit some local (within 2-3 hours from home) places we missed and we'll upload some footage and pictures from those places! Thanks for watching! And please check back to see where we've been. If you have suggestions or comments, we'd love to hear from you! #roadtrip #route66 #on2lanes #ontwolanes #michaelandannette #history #localhistory #heritage #backroads #highways #interstate #roadsideattractions #neon #getyourkicks #willrogershighway #americasmainstreet #mainstreetamerica #smalltowns #travel #naturalwonders #nationaloldtrailsroad #motherroad #wigwam #amboy #roysmotel

It should be noted that every single one of the news reports I've been seeing is saying that the convoy is planning to arrive on the day of Biden's State of the Union address in an attempt to disrupt the event. For this particular convoy, that is completely false and needs to be called out (I'm looking at you #KTLA5). Personally, I REALLY wanted to tag along. I absolutely love road trips, anyway, so to go with purpose and with so many wonderful people would have been amazing, I'm sure. But, alas, my current circumstances would not allow me to even attend the send off not far from where I live. So I'm very grateful to the many live streamers and social media warriors that have made it possible to at least get some semblance of the experience. I had hoped to be there with my camera to journal the adventure but that just wasn't possible. Much of what I've been able to see has brought chills and sometimes even tears of joy! To see the Navajo Nation come out in support, feeding dinner to 100's of "Convoyers" in Arizona and the Navajo Christian pastor offering up a sendoff prayer the next morning was something that filled my heart with such joy and renewed hope for our nation. And seeing every single overpass along the way - even the ones in the middle of nowhere! - was nothing short of amazing! Heck, they're not even half way, so there's more where that came from. So instead of sharing my own pictures and videos, I've compiled some media from a few incredible photographers and journalists to put together this video that I hope all with enjoy. Special shout outs to Oreo Express, Sasnak, 1st Responders Media, and many others whom I've "borrowed" from to create this video. Please follow them and throw some $ their way to help pay for the costs of getting there, media equipment, coming home, still being able to pay bills when they get home, etc. Their content is invaluable - don't trust what the MSM is telling you. See it for yourself in real time from these guys!

My grandson showing us how it’s done.
