Uh oh he broke it down the rv song lol
Hello again Robert, I always keep my old pair of running shoes for at least a few weeks or until i break in my new ones as they can leave blisters on your heels etc. with the amount of walking you do. I never realized how important it is to look after your feet until i got older.
I am so glad you started your road trip in Jan 2019, if you waited one more year Jan 2020 you would have left at the beginning of the Cov19 virus which most of the restaurants, National Parks, RV communities, and other attractions would have been closed and you most likely would have had to cancel your trip. For those around the globe stuck in their homes during this virus your series of adventures is a breath of fresh air and if things dont get better you might go down in history as one of the last great explorers of the 21st century 🙂
Love watching your videos. I feel like I’m almost right there without leaving my house (which we can’t do right now). Beautiful scenery, pleasant music and informative narration. Thank you Robert,
Robert, Next time you are in the Sacramento area, please try to stop by the train museum in old town Sacramento. It is well worth the visit. Thanks for the great videos!
Holy moly $4.99 for regular?!
What? No blackjack action?
Best food in lee vining is whoa Nellie deli at the mobile gas station at corner of tioga road and 395. It’s gourmet food but in a gas station
The south beach of mono lake is really fascinating, as is the mono lake visitors center. The lakes along June lake loop are beautiful. Lots of waterfalls. Nice restaurants with decent views. Tuolumne meadow loop and soda springs hike is lovely and restful.
Most people who visit CA for the first time are surprised at how much wilderness and farmlands are there. I’d say 90% of CA is farm and wilderness. I’m glad you got to see the best parts of CA in this trip. The sierras and nor cal are my fav parts of the state, and that doesn’t even take into account pinnacles national park and the central coast and Big Sur. Lots of amazing things to experience
thank you !
Thks Robert for doing the traveling and narrating. I just stay home and watch. All your videos are just great but this one is exceptional. Million thks !
This is very good … Well done i think too.. Ya i agree it's kinda a pain when you are out in the Olympic's where i live and have no connection and i spend several hours driving around to only get one bar…. lol .. Modern Marvel Tech they call it ..Say Robert tell us about the drone you use , make and model and why you picked this one ? Very good videos near the end of this one with the drone flying around , pretty cool tech really , not everyone likes that but for filming i think it's a great tool..
If you would have caulked your Minnie in a wide spot and went into Body , it's a pretty cool piece of history i'm sure you would have enjoyed it ..That is one old wild ghost town i would like to see drone footage of , well if the park service didn't mind it too much you doing that ..
What a difference a year makes
I thought you might be interested in mono lake it is actually an ancient sea in California
what is an IPA
People who love nature are GENERALLY good people. Emphasis on GENERAL!!!
Hahaha…..Irony is that at 17:45 , true to your word, you forgot a part of your soul….It went out to check on something and was left behind!! You might have to come back and do some soul searching….may be wandering in yosemite valley lol
so pretty love it
$4.99 a Gallon!>!>!>!> WOWOWOWW
In 1995 we drove from Reno Nevada to Los Angeles California. The easter sierra is very beautiful.
Could you give a budget for us wantabe RVers? I mean like a two week trip.
Next time you can camp at Tioga lake, Junction campground or Ellery campground instead of Tuolumne. Those camps have great views.
Great episode they shot the movie High Plains drifter mono lake I love that area and Bodie is a very cool town but you were smart not to tear up your rig safe travels🤙🏼
Robert, thank you for the excellent footage and delightful personality 😊! First time watching your videos and it won't be the last. Be well and stay safe.
👍
Love your videos, Robert. But when you decided to head up to Bodie with your trailer I thought you were in for big troubles ahead. I enjoyed my own trek to Bodie in 2015 but I was in a rental SUV and it was still very rough going, washboard, heck yeah, to say the least. I’m so glad you found a place to turn around. That was your best decision of the day! Go back one day when you’re not hauling . I also have to say, you scared the crap out of me with that super loud beeping that, I think, signified tire trouble, is that it? I jumped up and thought it was my o2 concentrator, I couldn’t see any red lights but that beeping was loud, man. I was changing from my home machine to the portable model then the beeping continued, and I was really confused. When you addressed the noise from within your system, I was relieved but still rattled, let me tell you. Glad we were both okay there. Take care. Keep bringing us on your adventures!
I have a favorite stop along Tioga rd, I try to make it a lunch stop if possible, there is a picnic table, Yosemite creek, if your not looking for it you will miss it. Another good stop for lobster taquitos and fish tacos is at the bottom of Tioga rd, Whoa Nelly Deli! A mobile station with a great kitchen.
oh my word excellent vid Robert. I'm happy you saw so much in Yosmite which along with the Sleeping Bear Dunes in MI near where I grew are 2 of the most gorgeous US areas
and the Cal Redwoods too. I wish I could return to Yosmite and the redwoods at least once more. Hope you have safe journeys
Even when things don't look too well or setbacks and things don't go as planned this is what memories are about. Not everything is good when things happen but when you look back it wasn't that bad in fact, things could be a lot worse. Being content is a good attitude.
Enjoyed the video. Love the area. Going through Merced to property but heading out through 120 to 395 just a lovely drive.
Thank you, Robert, for another fun adventure. I haven't visited Tuolomne Meadows. They're beautiful. And uncrowded. I now know why many say they are even better than the valley. By the way, I enjoyed your spectacular hike to the falls yesterday. I had saved it earlier. You're a joyful addition to my life. Keep on ridin'.
Good video quality and narration!. Robert, at least in 2019 you had a number of battery issues. Have you fixed that? An adequate solar system should fully recharge your batteries almost every day even in the somewhat shady locations were you (and I) camp. Mine does…300 solar watts and a 200 amp hour Lithium battery. Winnies have plenty of roof space for solar panels. I have a 2015 2101DS…slightly wider and longer than your trailer.
i watch your videos again
Thank you for that great trip.
Bodie is boring, don’t bother.
Love the channel its fun to see another persons perspective of my area. Yeah that Bodie road is crazy washboard style.
Absolutely stunning scenery Robert.
Whenever you mention areas around Lake Tahoe, Carson City etc. I can't help of Bonanza, the TV show.
Kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia.
apparently I lied to you – I did not see all your vids cause I see no thumbs up and no comment – and it is not likely I would miss both actions on 1 video
TravEL MR. BERT. I. LIKE MUSIC. 💕 LOVE. THE. TOPAZ". PLACE( MOUNTAIN""S. WHO""COOKING* ENJOY.
