Morning Russ, You are taking "Social Distancing"to the max! Thanks for taking the time to show us such wonderful places. See You Soon!

Keep on rolling RVerTV!!!

I'm 71 and I will never do what you are doing. I thank you for showing us what these places are like. I did not understand what the Petrified Forest was, and now I do.

Riding shotgun on this trip is so nice as when driving I never get to see it all. We have done this trip for years and now I'm seeing things I've missed for years. Your trip is also helping us to start slowing down and look around. Probably added another week just for I40. Thanks for taking us along!

Very cool Russ!. We have been driving from Albuquerque to Laughlin for years and I always wanted to see it. Now I have!.

I took this trip back in 1968. My Dad was in the Air Force & we were traveling to Edwards Air Force Base. I loved traveling through the Desert.

This journey has reminded me what a grip the desert Southwest has on my soul. I can feel the dry heat in my bones and hear the windy silence. I need to get back. Thanks, Russ! -Greg

Great video - luv the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert! Wonderful Russ ☆☆☆

I am in a wheelchair , this is soooo great. Thankyou!!!!

I like seeing the painted desert again, I watched last year video and then this video of it. 😎

Went there last September. Well worth the visit. We came in from the opposite side you did. We got there before the ranger. We were waiting at the gate when he arrived. He told us to go ahead he was not ready yet and let us in free. Beautiful colors and we bought some petrified wood from the visitor center and brought it back to SC. The history of how that was created is fascinating. There was a ranger at the log bridge when we were there to ensure no one tried to walk across it. There was an old car that was abandoned on the old highway 66 that is in park too. Good video.

Wow loved the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert! Great travels Russ! Thank you for taking us along! Keep on Trucking!!❤️😀🚙🤚🏿

Thanks Russ for the trip through the Petrified Forest. About 15 years ago my wife and I, just like you, were the first visitors into park early in morning. While at the Agate Bridge, a coyote was howling. Brought back the great memories.

Good morning Russ. The petrified trees were deposited during the great flood. Replaced with silica about 4500 years ago. Thanks for the trip. The forest in wyoming was covered by the stock piles in 1960 of Sherly basin uranium mines.

That was a great ride! I want to see the painter desert someday. Soon I hope! Can’t wait to see New Mexico.

19:40- it's the rain, the blowing sand and the wind. Pretty stuff like that is why i got into biology/chemistry/ecology/physics in the first place!

Thanks for the ride..Nice get-a-way.. Be blessed

Once visiter the Petrified Forest back in 1961 as we traveled across the US66. there were enormously long trees we managed to walk on. It was really interesting.

Cool stop Russ, but what is the wood afraid of? Hahahahaha. On the road again with Russ and we’re off to wherever we want to go. Cheers!!!

This was awesome! Thank you for the ride! :)

Pretty mountains stripes!

Heard about the petrified forest all my life, finally get to see it. Thanks Russ! 😊

I have around a 3 ft log of Central Nevada Petrified Wood in my rock collection. I really enjoy seeing all these new places. Happy Trails/Be Safe

Russ some of the comments really slay me; "on your drone flights, when pointing out areas, zoom in on them" "on the storyboards, zoom in and pause so we can read them". " put maps up so we know where you are" Really people!!! This man invites us along on his trips all over the country FOR FREE. He doesn't ask us for gas money, food money or lodging money. I for one am VERY thankful for these videos. Because of health issues, I would never be able to visit any of these great places in this great country.

Nice flowers

Wow! That was amazing!! Nice no traffic or people...so much to see! Stay safe!!

Wow! The cactus flowers! They are brownyellowish in Nevada. But they are Red there, amazing!

Such beauty! Thanks, Russ!

Thank you Russ. 💜

Russ. Great video, as usual. One request: perhaps zoom in a little more on the storyboards so we can pause and read them. Thanks!

Thank you

Enjoying the trip we are already planning. Thanks

That's a lovely area. I was the driver, so it's nice to see it. For those who have never been, those colors are more vivid in real life. Now I want to go again. Next year for sure.

👍 Thank You for ride it’s been a wonderful part of my day ☀️

Morning Russ im a bit late but enjoying the trip! Yes, Beautiful colors!

The vastness of the West is incredible and so much of it peaceful with few people about for miles!

Just awesome, Russ! Thanks. Got my fix for the day!

Thanks for another virtual RV trip to an amazing place. Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe.

Did you not understand at the Jasper Forest lookout those were giant tree stumps coming out of the ground. That was the best thing in the park.

Good morning Russ! Glad to see Holbrook and Petrified Forest while sunny and dry. My husband and I went to check out some acreage to purchase back in March and all the fields on either side of I-40 were terribly flooded with standing water wherever we looked. Couldn't even drive the ranchers road through a field to the property to look at it there was so much mud and water. What a difference with sunshine and heat😊

What you're doin' is brilliant Russ. How often in "normal" times would there be no one else there?

I was passing by I-40 one time in the winter and it was snowing pretty hard. I stopped by the visitors center to take a break and the gates were closed into the park. I ate at the little dinner there and when I came out there was a snow plow going into the park. I asked the ranger if I could follow the plow into the park. He gave me a token that allowed me to open the gate. I was the only guest in the park and it was covered in about 5 inches of snow. The colors were spectacular contrasting the white snow. I think I shot about 300 pictures that day.

Last time I visited Arizona visiting the Grand Canyon I also visited the Petrified forest and it was spectacular with all the trees and trails have a good day bye-bye

I really feel like I am on a trip in viewiñg your videos . Thanks for sharing..

That is so beautiful.

Notice that wonderful Chinese saying by Lao Tzu on the information panel at the petrified log bridge. "In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong, nothing can surpass it".

Hi Russ, I love your work. It’s so wonderful to follow along with you. Your timing and style is effortless. Many thanks for my zen moments.

Cool.Wish you would of zoomed in on the petrified Bridge thou.

Thanks Russ. Who would have thought you could visit some of our national parks in June and have so few people there. Probably the first time that has happened in generations. Enjoy. 👍🇺🇸

Great video Russ .It sure is nice ,you driving an me sight seeing .Thanks for showing us this great area .👍😍😍✌

I just discovered your channel last week and have been binge watching it!!! So far I have watched vids back to 2015, was that when RV TV began?.

catching up to this one...very very cool!

Another great video. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Stay safe. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

NICE!!!!!! KEEP ON ROLLIN...!!!

Nice find, I haven't seen that petrified log bridge until your video. The natural bridge in Payson is another tourist spot only very few have seen.

Very good guidance...thanks a lot!!

Hi Russ. Wow what a lovely place, looking forward to the next video.Stay safe.

Loved this visit!!! Thank You!

It's a nest place to visit. We went there a few years ago. Thank you for the memory.

Keep on rolling. Love your video’s 👍👍

Hi. Russ

Thanks Russ. Cool to see desert but not in June There is no commercials!!

Livin the life. :)

Was a shame you didn't give us an idea of what was on the info boards. We in euro don't have anything like that stunning geology. Great trip, thank you.

He should photograph each board and post a link to the photos, so we can all read them.

Pretty wood.. petrified.

It looks like a lot of those logs are about the same size and they appear to have been cut with a chain saw. Looks like that.

The white layers are Jipsen (the stuff we use in dry wall) and the green ones are Malakye (sp). I made this same trip when I first moved to Arizona and asked the park ranger.

Love your music!

Cool beautiful

Hello Russ ; Great Video / Great Views . Your RVerTV Fans Love your travel route Russ - each new video - new adventure. Thank you Russ for RVerTV Channel / RVerTV Videos . God Bless you Russ , RVerTV Fans , Happy Trails Russ , RVerTV Fans.

Blue sky morning !

Looks great .

Pretty cool. Definitely a natural wonder. Thanks for the ride.

Another great video Russ. Stuck in Ohio and dreaming about the painted desert! You did not disappoint! Safe travels.

I’ve been to that park several times. Once I went hiking in the Blue Mesa and found spectacular pieces of petrified wood there, some looked like they were cut with a chain saw. I would like to go there again.

Definitely be a good time to be there Russ. TAKE CARE..

🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! I think the petrified tree stumps were neat with the variegated colors running through them. Then looking back on that area with the rock like ledge looking hill was just as neat with all the shades of white, silver, grays, Terra cotta earth tone with that beautiful deep blue sky, was a picture perfect postcard for sure! This was really a different type of beauty. The painted dessert was neat, but, I really liked the Petrified National Forest & all the colors out there. This was really great Russ! 👍

The white is alkali And it one of the chemicals that helped the wood get its colors along with many other minerals. Havagudun Russ.

Thanks for the beautiful ride along!

I wonder where the petrified wood came from considering there isn't a tree for as far as you can see! Was Arizona once a forest?

Yes. And swamp with big dinosaurs. The museum there has a lot of fossils found there with artist's renditions of what it all looked like then. A lot of water where it is now dry most of the year.

Randy Paul Well the "some people" are incorrect. Indians and dinosaurs did not coexist. No fossilized human remains have been found. What is now a high plateau was once much lower in altitude. In recent times before the modern dams were built all water in AZ was in narrow rivers with little spread into other areas. More desert than now. By having dams the water provides irrigation for large areas of AZ. Where there is irrigation there is verdant land with crops, trees, and cities. Nothing ever resembled the east coast in recent times. The trees and swamps in the petrified forest long predated any humans. Geological forces caused climate change ... Nothing to do with CO2. There were populations of humans before the present occupants. The Navajo came from tribes in Canada and were considered invaders. One reason they got along well with the US Army was because the neighboring tribes did not accept them fully. The Apaches were our original border patrols to keep out the raiding Mexican Aztecs who took slaves, sacrificial victims and crops when they could. One of the agreements for Mexico to cede land to the southern railroad was for the US Army to neutralize the Apaches... Which they did. In any case the swamps were ancient swamps. One of the mountains near Phoenix has seashells eroding from the rocks... But not like the east coast since the land mass in the West has risen. The Petrified forest area is a sedimentary plateau that is now about 5000ft above sea level.

Gonna be out there in 3 weeks can't wait I've been there before but this time my kids are coming I love your videos you go to all the places I love

Excellent Russ! Enjoyed it all!
