Kat hie where is your house located? If you are serious, I am looking for a place, preferably rent-to-own in either the Flagstaff or Pinetop-Lakeside area. We live up here in the PNW but I need to move closer to my aging mother who lives in AZ also.

Nice to see downtown Flagstaff, never seen that before. But the shotgun cam was more of a distraction than a plus, Russ.

Thanks for the tour. I really enjoy your vlog. You do a great job.

Moved back to queen creek after a couple years living in Flag. Pretty to visit but hated living there. Fun watching this recognizing every road you’re on.

I will be there tommorow... love the cooler weather.

I enjoyed seeing Flagstaff thru this video. I lived there in '76 - '78, so long ago that I didn't recognize anything!

I love Flagstaff, been five times since 1992. Boy how it's changed, in the earlier days it was much quieter with a captivating atmosphere , 7000 feet in altitude and far less busy, not so much construction either. I used to love Babbitts camping supplies and the old curiosity shops and the Mexican food too. Oldtimer Englishman from Shropshire remembering happy travels throughout the South West.

Howdy Russ! Safe travels sir👍

That carter is incredible. There is an open area on 89 where you can see all he peaks around you.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I lived in Flagstaff in the 70s, and attended college there. It had a small-town atmosphere back then. Kinda sad to see what it’s like today. I’ve often wanted to go back. But after seeing several videos of Flagstaff as it is now? I’m having second thoughts. Sometimes memories should be left alone...

Thanks Russ love seeing this area.

I did a Sedona and Flagstaff weekend July 11-14. Went up there to escape Scottsdale and 116. Love it so much.

I lived there in the mid 90's complete transformation. Nice😎😎😎

So many more people ❗️ We stayed in the KOA nice would stay there again . THANK YOU your sharing brings back wonderful memories. Mickey Flagler Beach 🏖 Fl.

Thanks to a breakdown years ago with my Hummer, I had to deal with what was then Tyrell Marxen Chevy in Flagstaff. Got me in and out in a hurry. Barely able to finish breakfast before they had it ready to go. You should note how train noise seems to be almost everywhere in the town! Often a first overnight stop on the way back from California.

What fun. Hurry, I want to see if it still looks like it used to.

Thanx Russ!🗽🗽🗽👍👍👍⏰is on your side.

Oh I miss AZ, Flag used to have a wonderful bakery down by the huge walmart... Loved seeing downtown, memories! Thank you for sharing! It's changed a huge amount since I was therein 2000/1.

nice. Look forward to Utah. Safe travels.

Hi Russ.. Welcome to Flagstaff .. Nice to be on the road with you.. Suggestion.. Dash cam is in the way of Shotgun Cam.. Maybe put dash cam on the dash ? .. Get some rest.. Hey you should share with your viewers what you have for eats in your campground.. What's for dinner? Talk soon..

Flagstaff is a beautiful area. The KOA is a big place. We stayed at a Coconino Ntl Forest developed campground in 2016 near Sunset Crater. It was the cleanest place we've stayed during that trip.

Stayed at the 'haunted' Hotel Monte Vista during Christmas week last year. It snowed every day and was beautiful and amazing.

My gf and I stayed at that koa couple years ago.. we did one night in the teepee and next day we set up my SUV tent set up ... Was not too busy when we went .. did get thunderstorms that night ... Showers were nice .. was a good trip I'd stay there again

Been to Sun Set Crater nice place.

It was 1964 when we drove through Flagstaff. It was March and 2 or 3 foot snow drifts on the side of the road. We were coming down from Casper, Wyoming so it was nice to pass on through and to get down to Phoenix later that day.

Thanks Russ , enjoyed the city drive ...

Have a good trip Russ. Talk soon! Cheers!!!

Thanks so much for posting this video - we are heading there a month from now! We're going up to Page after that - so look forward to the rest of your trip!

Love Flagstaff. Have been fortunate to have visited this lovely town 5 times coming on vacation from Sweden to beautiful Arizona.

I lived here from K-3rd Grade. The Elementary School is now a Middle School now, Mt Elden. I remember walking through the playground to my Street. Moved to Sunset Crater Estates.

Luv the old buildings in downtown Flagstaff - neat! Thanks for the shotgun cam too. Safe travels Russ ☆☆☆

Love your style very relaxing. Thank you for taking the time to film

dashboard view is cool and relaxing.

i've never been to Flagstaff, always wanted to go! Guess i have now :)

Stayed in Flagstaff several times just passing through. Never seen old town before. Georgous sky.💜

Your filming is very good. We are looking at the flagstaff rv parks. Yours has been the best depiction. Thanks!

Glad too see someome enjoy my home town on youtube

We were there a couple of days ago and enjoyed it. A few pan-handlers but you do get that in nearly every city where tourists visit. Loved that little square and shopped for raw honey at a tea oriented shop and hubby had a gelato in one candy shop. We also visited Walnut Canyon (Thanks Russ!). The mall has Dillards and Penneys and we did some needed shopping there. Visited Williams a few minutes on the way home West. Did see a Little Blue Heron in a freshwater marshy lake on the side of I-40 just outside West of Williams. Amazing.

Visited my sister in Phoenix love driving through Flagstaff with all the pine trees . Stopped at the snow bowl and rode the ski lift a sweet ride up the mountain and a great view . The highest toilet around lol at the top . Thanks for the ride Russ nice seeing places we were before 🇺🇸

🙋‍♀️KOA was interesting. Seem to offer shade in all the camp sites. Teepees were neat. I wasn't expecting very many people there. That was nice they had a food vendor available. Flagstaff was a busy small town. I like to look for the Churches. Some of the architecture is interesting to the Era it was designed, making it unique to the area. Stay cool Russ!

Enjoy your trip. Great videos. Panda monium just drove up 89 to i70 and on up to flaming gorge.

Nicely done ✅ looks great projected from my iPhone to my big screen TV. Happy trails Russ !!

Trees & headed for cool weather. K O A should be a nice lay over for the night Russ. Chevron is proud of their gas up there, I always look at their diesel if it's posted when you pass cause I'm a cardholder. Looks like you got a nice spot for the night. TAKE CARE..

Always wonderful to see flagstaff!!😁 thanks Russ - u got the best Koa spot !

I often wonder why some towns and and small cities thrive while others fade away. Obviously Flagstaff is thriving. You made my day I saw an R Pod in the campground!

That hotel downtown with the second floor wrap around porch is a great place for happy hour food and drinks. Also the old highway to Sedona is a beautiful drive.

Thanks for sharing. I like that area.

have lived here since 2016 (NAU Alum now) it's beautiful. campus is beautiful, downtown is my favorite spot because all of the little shops and local stores. I also worked downtown (at the Aloha Hawaiian BBQ place). Flagstaff is a great place to visit AND live!

Love it! Thanks for the tour!

Thanks for the video! We live in Phoenix and camp just outside of Flagstaff every other weekend. We love it so much we bought an acre in Kachina Village a year ago and will build a cabin there as soon as we can afford it. Flagstaff is an amazing place to be.

I appreciate the weather update here. I am heading to Flagstaff this July. Hopefully you just hit a heat wave. I was hoping for cool up in the mountains. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks.❤

my friend was here with his family last weekend, its great to see it (im in scotland, uk)

I live here! ❤️🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

Great format - thanks.

Glad to see ya back on the road making new vlogs! Love your drone flights as well, what a cool different perspective of the local area. We know the shotgun mount and cam cost a pretty penny, but we personally like the regular forward view best. The video quality is awesome! We have been watching a lot of your older videos and just love your style of shooting videos. Keep up the great work Russ, enjoy your travels and stay safe!

Hi Russ Shotgun cam is great! Yep, too cool! Love it! I like the historic district of Flagstaff, but the rest has grown too much though. Yes the clouds are really pretty, sky is blue, nice! Wow long stays at KOA could get pricey. Yikes. I'll stick to dry camping in deserts or forests lol Ok i enjoyed todays trip and conversation. 😉 thank you. Be safe. See you again soon.

Great city.

After graduation from NAU, I lived just north and west of the large civic center. I made a left turn just past (north) of the train overpass. I lived on Sitgreaves street. I need to go back and spend a little time in the area. In my 6 years in Flagstaff I explored the northern portion of Arizona extensively. Hiked most of the south rim trails and a couple of north rim trails at Grand Canyon National Park. Hiked some in the southern Utah slickrock country as well. Explored the eastern Rim Country on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. NAU was a fantastic place to go to college! The big hole in my Arizona experience is I-19 to the New Mexico border and south of I-10. I haven't taken one trip in that large area. I have a lot of family in the greater Phoenix area. However, I live by the 11th Commandment of Coconino County, "thou shall not travel south of Camp Verde between April 15th and October 30th."

@@AlexCab_49 Yes, the heat. It is even worse for me now as I haven't lived below 6500 for 47 years and have been at 8,000 for 31 of that. Camp Verde in the summer is far too hot for me now. I think the 11th Coconino Commandment was the only one to rise to that level. At the time I lived there, by big city standards, there wasn't any shopping in Flagstaff. None of the big chains were in town at the time. I didn't care as I don't consider shopping to be an essential activity. That is what catalog shopping (especially Sears) was for as well as being a minimal consumer. Now catalogs are online, but the basic principle is nearly 150 years old in rural and small town areas. I suppose there was common knowledge to not hike in the Grand Canyon in the summer, the time to go was in the other 8-9 months. There are the 3 rules of living in snow: never steal a person's firewood, parking space and don't dump snow on someone else's property. This is universal wherever a significant pack of snow exists all winter. However, a yearly average of 100 inches of snow in Flagstaff really isn't a lot. I left Flagstaff 42 years ago, so maybe someone has more current info than I.

What fun to see Flagstaff! My husband worked for NAU back in the '80s, Our children were born in Flag. When we were first married we lived in a single wide traitor in what was then Kit Carson Traitor Park. Our little home in the pines. It was fun to see the old train depot and Babbit Brothers Department store down town. Brought back good memories. Glad I stumbled across your video. On to your Sunset Crater vid. My husband and I got caught on the crater one night. Had to hike most of the way down in the dark! And I do mean DARK!

You go to Park City UT. Shotgun cam turn to the right like you are looking out the side window. The last time I was in Flagstaff was on vacation when I was about 5 and we were driving through and they had still had snow on the ground but it was summer and our car overheated so we had to put snow on the engine. That’s the only thing I remember about Flagstaff. Can’t wait till you get into Ut. You should check out Horseshoe Bend by Page.

Hay man

Thank - you for such a wonderful video. I have only passed through Flagstaff on I-40 then shot down to Phoenix , on my way to Cali, many years ago. Never saw what you showed. I loved it. Will continue bit wath your vudeos.

Enjoy the cool weather.

Flagstaff resident here! Snow's not too bad lately, been having pretty dismal snowfall the past couple years. I suppose last year might've been a bit rough, what with breaking a single day record, but it hardly snowed after we got that 3 feet in one day. Ice is the big problem here more than snow. Snow will stick on the ground long enough to melt and freeze a hundred times over and then the ice never leaves! I'd recommend coming in the spring at the end of the snow season or in the fall when the only snow we got is on the mountain. Cool to see this in my recommended! Now I'm just looking for myself on the road...

You drove right past my neighborhood! Great vid

We stayed at the very same KOA three weeks ago today! I miss it so much! 😢Such a stunningly beautiful place! Already planning a return trip in March 2021 🤗 we don’t have those mountains and pines in San Antonio, Texas. Great video!

Thanks Rus

At least you got a shaded spot.

I lived in Flagstaff for 21 years until 18 months ago. I qorked at the beautiful County Courthouse downtown for 18 yrs.

I was there in the early 80s, hitchhiking through and I stopped at a bar where pictures of beer were 25 sense. Went to a hotel got so drunk. The people let me have a free room. I was going to New York and a girl picked me up and drove me all the way across.

Awesome, dood.
