Visiting abandoned ghost towns with my semi truck

- Taking the backroads can bring so much excitement to your long haul trip. Whether you are just pleasure traveling or a trucker delivering a load, the backroads are full of surprises.
This route in particular was one that I couldn’t help but get excited about. None of the stops I made were planned. I found them along the way and I think that is the beauty of this video.
Being a truck driver it is hard to find the time let alone the energy to get out of the truck. I’m trying to help solve that problem for others. Let’s get out together and I’ll show you exactly how to get there and where to park that big rig!
In this video I visit Garfield Kansas, Montoya New Mexico, White Oaks New Mexico, and Magdalena New Mexico.
I have written blog posts on these places but the website is currently down for repair. As soon as it is up again I’ll make posts on my social media and add the links here.
Happy trucking.

17:07 Advice for Truckers
It is wonderful to not only see your videos again but to also see you smiling and laughing and happy! You are truly missed and we love you! And Dakota!!
I agree!
I Agree Pretty Girl.
I was thinking the same thing... I'm so happy to have you back in our lives. You are amazing and a very big inspiration to me. ❤
"I'm curious about that cow" ... HAHAHAHA!!! You are the sweetest most lovable goofball ever and we love all that you do. I hope you realize how much joy and happiness you and Dakota share with every video you post. Thank you for being you and here's hoping you never change.
It’s just a habit lol. I love odd things 😂
I love seeing your childlike reactions to some of the simple things 🙏
You looked so happy on the seesaw and swing, Shelby, nice respectful gesture supporting the flowerpots on the grave.
I regularly go on long hikes and my motto is: always look around the next corner and over the next hill: the best experiences are right behind where you didn't really want to go.
My day just got better by watching another one of your excellent videos. Keep up the great work Shelby
THIS is exactly why I'm in the process of getting my CDL ... even over 60 ... to try and go the road less traveled and actually see something, while making some extra money. You radiate such joy and happiness!! God's best to you. You are an inspiration!
I won't lie the job is hard, but it is truly what you make it. Trucking is a fight all on it's own but if you are up for it and can push through the battles there is so much to be experienced
The joy & and happiness in the simple and tiny things of life, it's basically everything that is alright!!!
What a fun video.
It reminds me so much of my own roadtrips. I love to stop in those middle of nowhere, unexpected places.
No tourist traps. Met some fun, funny and kind people that way.
Huzzah! What a treat to find. Thanks for sticking around and bringing joy with you.
Happy all of you guys are back ❤😍🐶👍🏻🙏🏻👩👨🦱
Thank you for giving the world so much positivity and joy with your videos!
I'm so happy to see you so happy and relaxed and Kota looking bright and well too, I hope the "We" is a permanent addition, We looks to be making you very happy I hope We sticks around, 🤗😘❤❤
Obliviously you've found something/someone to place that beautiful smile back on your face & bring happiness back into your miles again....very happy for you Shelby!!!
Good to see you Dakota back smiling laughing and having fun. Safe travels
Your video thumbnail was spot on LOL 😂🎉
Missed watching your videos.
So wonderful to see a new video from you, Shelby! It's been too long! Your channel is so aptly named because you bring happiness to this world, and that is much needed in the times we are living in. Safe travels!
The first place you stopped, in Kansas, reminded me of a trip I made to the geographic center of the lower 48 states, in Lebanon, KS. It has a chapel, too, even smaller! It was a nice bit of heartland USA, so I'd recommend it to you if your travels go in that direction - off US 36, mid-Kansas. Stay safe out there!
Pleased to see you back hope your keeping well Shelby and enjoying your travels.
Miss your videos....Hope to see more of them...
More are coming!
Cool trick off the swing! Good to see another adventure on the road. Have a great Summer of trucking and shooting video along the way. 😎
Good video Shelby, very interesting. Drive safely my friend. God bless you.
🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
I always enjoy seeing you and Dakota exploring different locations. Great video.
Greetings from Athens, TN. Peaceful is a good way to describe no distractons from technology.
I've been trucking 32 years. Take time take care of yourself ,I'm now paying a high price for what I did when I was your age ,but, I'm still out running.
So happy to see you
Wonderful video, I hope you are having fun, stay safe and healthy.
Gracias! I'm in Las Cruces and had never heard of these towns.
Oh my God it is long time video really I mis u Shelby so nice video 👌✌️
very well done🎥👏 that was a cool trick on the swing✨🌠
Thanks Shelby ❤😂🎉 God 💯🙏💯💖 Blessing from Iowa, USA
Good to see you back. I like your spirit. Keep on keeping on. Have a good one and stay safe
❤💐🌹💐❤🫵 FOR YOU SHELBY ……
I really miss you and it’s so great to see you and Dakota again and thank your camera man cause he did a great job 😂 too’
I PRAY THAT GOD IS WATCHING AND PROTECTING YOU EVERY DAY AND TAKING CARE OF YOU KEEPING YOU SAFE 🙏.
Dakota has gotten a lot bigger also, and I really enjoyed your tour I love to see the past its awesome isn’t it’ anyway again im so glad to see you and I can’t wait for your next adventure I’ll be waiting 😂 .
I love you, Dave from TEXAS 🇺🇸🙏.
Good to see you and Dakota just doing your job and having some fun along the way.
It’s so nice to see you, shelby, and of course, Dakota too💗Awesome video!!
It warms my heart to see you smile! Thanks for the video Dakota looks great also.
I also enjoy getting out of the truck and walk around. We spend 10-14 hours in that tin can, it’s nice to get out and get some exercise. I run in the upper Midwest, MN,SD, ND, IA, NE, WI, and once in awhile MT and WY. So several cities I’ve visited multiple times but still look for different areas to walk to. Glad to see you are enjoying it, it’s not work when you’re having fun.
Now, if we had people who would laugh like you and fix flower pots at a stranger's grave, the world would be better!
Love your Spazzy Squirrel energy, the microphone accepts your apology. 😂
Gotta make sure the equipment knows I’m a friend 😄
So glad you back and so happy, this was an absolutely amazing video and so happy you shared it. There are some really amazing places on the not so much travel routes to explore and see. You were absolutely amazing on the swing dismount 🫶🏼 bring back memories when was a child. Love the rocks you got the blue is beautiful. Dakota much love the snow.
i sure missed your videos layely and so happy to watch this one. i live in albuquerque and love new mexico. the rock you bought was beautiful and it was so nice of your to fix up that grave sight flowers. your a wondeful person.
Shelby thanks for your wonderful video . I live in Kansas and haven't been able to see that part of my story yet . It's wonderful watching you and Dakota happy and enjoying live Safe travels . It's always great to see your videos
So good to see a new post! I have missed you and your smile! The "we" leaves a lot of unanswered questions! Glad to see "we" handling the camera!
I've always used we to describe Dakota and I but yes when there are more involved they are also included ☺
Hi Shelby thanks for sharing I really enjoy your videos hi Dakota!
So great seeing you doing what you do and sharing with us. In my past life I would ask employees (not in trucking) to take a different way home this week. It was to inspire them to think out of the box . You might find the new way even faster cause of less traffic or see something that excites you or never knew was there. May your travels be safe and with lots of Dog treats :) .
Missed you! So glad to see you luv! Im a young olde lady that started following you 5 years ago and you have helped me so much! Hugs sister! Thank you! You are amazing!
It’s so wonderful to hear that you’ve positively benefited from the channel. And thank you so much for the compliment 🥰
@@ShelbyHBTM you will never know how much you helped me with your beautiful smile and taught me so much in trucking! Just keep me close to your heart as I do you! We got this! Hugs!
I loved your video Shelby - great to see small towns in the southwest! I have never been there! You and Dakota are awesome! Be well! Be safe! Be happy!!
Love your videos as they very entertaining and informative. You always seem to find out of the way places that are interesting. Be safe out then and can’t wait for you next one. 🙏❤️
Your giggle makes me laugh :) I'm glad to see you enjoying life and having fun :)
Great to watch and enjoyed your content from Ireland 🇮🇪
Maintenance on the truck is never ending but also maintenance for emotional health of the operator is as if not more important. Stopping and placing the schedule demands in the back seat and yours in the front is a critical step to gaining equilibrium. Love your videos
It's so good to see you and Dakota again. You both seem to be doing well. I've been worried a little about you Shelby. I know you are an intelligent,tough and loving person and I just want the best for you and Dakota. As for heckin Dakota,we all know your in charge!!!!! Much love to you both and hope camera guy is well too!!!!
Graceful dismount from the swing...nice to the smile again - and Dakota too!
Missed you both.
May the saint of Saint Christopher keep you and Dakota safe on your travels:)🙏✝️
Love seeing my Shelby videos and the pooch from Watervliet NY
Really enjoyed this video. The best word I can find to describe it is "fun". Stay safe out there! 😁
That's what we try to do. Thank you ☺
Ok I’m,,, glad you have someone to tickle your fancy’s, nice to see how much more happy you are now,, no pregnancy yet, that’s good, keep your head on for that, keep on trucking beautiful lady, by the mile, thanks BigAl California.
Shelby & Dakotas lost adventures!! Nice to pay homage to forgotten places. Thank you!
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast to watch it.
You’re such an amazing person! Love all the videos and totally can’t wait for more! Stay safe Shelby!
