Beautiful pictures of Painted Desert/Petrified Forest but seeing the national parks in person is still the best way to see them. Glad your cold/cough is gone. I think having Jax closer and petting him more often helped. I'm a big believer in the healing powers of our pets. Something about a cat's purr helps you sleep. Stay safe.
I see people give you grief about the stroller, but I like it, and I honestly don't see "what the big deal is", as far as the negative comments. I have begun using a similar model to take one of my dogs for a walk. She has a bad leg, and can't walk far at all. I am very glad to have picked up the idea from you.
One of my favorite videos lately. You got everything in there. Time lapses, drone footage, great scenery, petroglyphs, food, nice music. Thumbs up Eric.
glad you are feeling better
Loved the pueblo village and petroglyphs you showed us
This video series is top notch, get to see an old route 66 road trecker before he gets old.

Eric....Excellent Video !!! Love coffee time with Eric & Jax !!! You both seem sooo happy and relaxed rolling down the road. Such a difference from 4 years ago.... I love ALL your videos, past and present. Thank You So Much !!! Love You Guys !!!
Beautiful
I don't want to sound creepy, but it has become a part of my day to watch at least one of your videos (still working on catching up from the beginning) and just enjoying your adventure called life. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all. Safe travels and grand adventures.
The beauty of some of your shots, and the time lapse, along with the still camera set up capturing you in motion, it's easy to forget how much time and effort goes into your work. Quality work indeed.
Good Vid Eric. Those markings on the rock are really cool. And, as always, your drone footage is just TOTALLY outstanding. Since you gave me my adventure in for the day, guess I will go back to MY BORING LIFE....LOL...Mik.
Wow Eric! I love it when an older vid of your's pops up that I have not yet seen. This one is spectacular. You have shown me so many places that I may never see and some I didn't even know existed. Blue sky and white clouds are perfect. Awesome work Eric. Safe travels to you and Jax always. And thank you!
I think Jax is happy with the new position... Ah, and this one was a magnificent drone view, bravo!
Thanks for the awesome video ! Be safe, looking forward to watching your next update !
Those open spaces are thrilling & stunning beautiful scenery--esp. from the drone. It's good to see you well & jolly.
Jax seems to be really enjoying his stroller tours :) Love seeing him joining in with you!
Great video as normal. Thanks for all you do Eric.
Another awesome video. More Jax, please!
Eric, you would be lost without Jax. I pray he lives every one of his 9. Great drone shots. Get well soon.
Dude! You make the coolest videos! I love it! Keep doin' watcha doin'
those drone shots were great! I was there and I couldn't see it from that perspective! and that cupcake wrapper was an awesome tip!

WHO SAID ANY THING ABOUT CUPCAKES? WHY DIDNT I GET ONE:{
When I was very young are family went out and I saw the canyons, the pert forest, somewhere out there is a place where you can see dinosors, the bones, I know its not far from where your at, I was like 7 years old, but never forgot it, asked my kids if they want to go out there, and they said its for old people, kind of hurt my feelings but one day I want to return, just something in my bucket list.. thanks for sharing Eric.. outstanding job as always.
I've been watching this channel for 1 day and I've been binge watching ALOT of your videos. Im hooked on your videos, I just cant stop watching them. Keep doing what you're doing.
Great scenery!
Eric, you are not allowed to make me scarf my coffee with your skipping!!! Omg, had me rolling! thank you for making me laugh. Glad you are feeling better. Jax looks happy in his new spot closer to you, such a sweet Boy.
You are one of the most kind and warm people I don't know! Love your videos! Love big, snuggly Jax, too!
That petrified wood stuff is pretty wild. The magnets pretty cool too. May have to pick one up if/when I pass thru. Anyways, great video-- Cant wait to see where you're off to next
Great views! Glad your feeling better.
Awesome vid, luv the drone shots. Thanks for showing The Petrified National Forest, amazing beauty! Jaxman looked content 😌 & you sound a lot better.
Hi Eric, WOW! You have really improved with your editing and drone shots. This was gorgeous scenery, thanks for sharing.. Cheryl

I can tell by your voice and enthusiasm you have recovered from your cold.
So beautiful, love Arizona . Nice having you guys together , LOVE IT!! TY so much :)
beautiful scenery! Hi Jax!! great video Eric.
Love your videos! I've been to 15 foreign countries, and to every major city in the USA, but I have not seen the places you are showing us on your Route 66 videos; likely will never will ... thank you for showing us this part of our great country.
Jax looks like he is very happy in his new spot next to you, and so do you. The Painted Desert is gorgeous.

GOOD MORNING BEAST NOMADIC FANTASTIC ERIC JAX KZread VIDEO 🐈🐈
Nice. The music you choose makes such a difference on how much I like a video. Glad you're almost over your cold ! Jax is loving having his bed closer to you in the cab. You make such a cute couple. ;)
This was great. Thank you for showing me things I'd never get to see.Much appreciation
During my 38 year trucking employment Arizona, New Mexico, and, Nevada were always my favorites, and, always will be! Can't wait to get back out there, on MY terms, in my future Roadtrek 190! I was really fortunate to be able to see all three states north to south, and, east to west before I retired from trucking in 2015. Thanks for reporting on my favorites! Travel safe!
keep doing what u do best .....like your intake on all your videos
Absolute stunning scenery. Thank you for all your videos, you are an inspiration to all x Jax the cat is so adorable, xxxx
My husband and I went through there in 95 in a 70 Chevy truck pulling a vintage 60s canned ham camper! Its such a beautiful place! It rained while we were there and the colors were really vibrant! So cool that you are able to meet up with Ausia , Joey and the others!
The painted desert is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Window Rock has the best radio station along the 40. The Voice Of The Navajo Nation... give it a listen!
Skipping? Priceless. Thanks for sharing! Give Jax a scratch behind the ears for me!!! : ) Suggestion: Visit the "Breaking Bad" film locations??? : )
The geology of that area is amazing. Thanks for the views
The painted desert was so beautiful and your drone shots were just stunning. You shoot such amazing videos! Thanks for sharing! Glad you are feeling better!

Such a "trip" to see Jax content in a baby buggy. Thanks for sharing your trip!
What an amazing views!!! Thanks for sharing!!😻
Absolutely beautiful! Love the drone videos! Thank you!
Drones would be good advertizing for Route 66 interest. Thanks Eric, chill music !!
Eric, awesome drone footage, super video, appreciate your time making these! 🐄Hi Jax from the NorthStar Danes in Florida!
Nice video. Thank you, Eric.
Excellent! And perfect choice of music. Great video production.
Eric, love watching your videos. You’ve come a long way with the quality and professionalism since you started. When I was in the service, stationed all over US and home base was California, we drove past all of the parks you just visited. Unfortunately out of 4 times going through, we never stopped. Always in too much of a hurry to get home and see family. I will start my on my journey in about a week and a half doing what you are doing. This time I will stop at all the places I missed back in the 70s and 80s. Keep it up with all the details, can’t wait for the next one. Hope to see you and Jax someday.
Great video Eric
You really have an amazing talent for aerial footage, it always reminds me of watching National Geographic.

I especially like the drone footage of the mountains, mesa's and desert.
Really like the drone shots of the rocks and their curves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how Jax answers you when you ask him a question
It might be flat, but every once in a while you see big rocks. Not just a rock, but a big beautiful colorful rock. Chirp

Jax, you are one lucky cat!! You live a better life than I do!!
Great video. It's amazing to see how well those 24ft RVs can slip into more normal-ish parking spots.
Arizona doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time but the Navajo Nation does.

correct. Then, while traveling east, you'll exit Navajo nation and the time changes again for 15 minutes until you hit New Mexico, and the time changes AGAIN. It's funny.

the reason the Navajo does is because there land covers 3 states. that way all of there area will be on the same time zone.
LOVED the skipping! Awesome! 👍🏻
Getting the annual National Park Pass is the way to go to really get your money's worth over the year especially when you are on the move and can cover many of them. Great video!
Love the Drone Shots, thanks. Keep having fun.
Love watching your adventures. Thank you for sharing. I hope to be on the road soon myself.
Really nice area! I missed The Petrified Forrest on my road trip, so this was a treat! Thanks again! Give Jax a ear scratch from me! Take care!
Great video Eric! Love this road trip. Travel safely.
Nicer weather is great. Loved the drone shots Jax looks like he having fun too. Company is cool to have along again to share good times. Security light is cool I going to put one on my rig. Keep safe we are enjoying your adventure
Wow! Really excellent drone and time lapse photography!
I was at at Painted Desert a long,long,long time ago .. thanks for jolting my memory of my great cross country trip
absolutely beautiful views!
big diffence from when i was there in 77 to what you showed keep posting and tc
AHA! There's the light. Wow that is bright!
Glad to hear your feelin better, been prayin for ya
This was awesome you seem so happy 😁
I first saw the Petrified Forest som 60 years ago and can't help but to wonder how much of it has been carried away in a million tourists pockets since then? Your shots of the Painted Desert were great. In the old days 66 went right through both the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert, no detour needed!
The ride for Jax was awesome! Glad he gets out more as I really do think he enjoys it to a certain degree. :) Also I agree with Diana so much. You've changed a lot just in the last year.
Awesome video Eric!
Hey Eric great vid as usual the painted desert is such a beautiful sight your drone shots are fantastic thanks for sharing I am glad that you are feeling better keep the vids coming and Keep On RV'n....
GREAT DRONE VIDEO WITH THAT MUSIC AND GREAT EDITING!....YOU SHOULD BE PICKED UP BY A TV SHOW FOR RV TRAVEL~ GOOD LUCK AND THANK'S FOR WHAT YOU DO!
great video bro keep up the great work glad you are better and I'm sure JAX is glad too
Have a great day!
Wow the painted desert was beautiful and your filming of it was stunning. Glad you are feeling better and your probably right about it being allergies. The wind can move pollen all over from state to state. Safe travels to you and Jax. On the road again, as Willie would say.
the drone shots are awesome as well as all the other fabulous views ! The helpful hint to use the cup cake paper as throw away dishes is cool, one that I will use and share. Thanks for sharing Arizona with us.
Enjoying your Route 66 trip very much
Upmost respect to you, and Love to your cat, A.K.A best friend :D
super cool with the drone. I have got to visit that place...stay safe
absolutely beautiful nature
Amazing country! It is nice to see you hanging with some great people, they just add some extra fun to your videos.... then we get to watch their videos and see everything from another perspective. Glad the man cold / allergies are moving on!!! They just suck the life out of a person.....
Fantastic again !!!!
Glad you're feeling better
Another excellent, fantastic video!
