Road Trips Are So Much Fun!!
Videoed in August of 2021
For us a road trip is about the most fun we can have and each trip takes on it's own personality, but this one was quirky to say the least! We discuss how to find free campsites, tell you why the Plains Indian's teepee is one of man's greatest inventions and show you more of those roadside oddities that you can find if you take the time.

Hey, so there's another tipi fan out there! You're right about tipi's versus high wind. Many moons ago I attended a mountain man rendezvous with my tipi and one night high winds hit us all night long with 70+mph winds. The next morning there were wall tents down but I don't remember a single tipi that didn't withstand the wind. I did wake up to a quarter inch of fine dust covering everything inside, but that was minor compared to what the square sides went through! Then there was the one inch plus hail we experienced at the Vipond Park, Montana rendezvous back in the 90's. Old canvas like the tipi you just toured was no match, but mine was like new at the time. The local Ranger said it was very unusual to experience large hail at 9,000 ft elevation! Don't worry about KZread regarding airguns, or even firearms for that matter. There are plenty of channels out there covering both, including the harvesting of Bambi and feral hogs! And that light show reminds me of a visit to Missouri long ago. I was sitting in a buddy's van listening to rock n roll one evening, and the lightning was so intense we thought we were on the dance floor at a disco! Soon after came the tornado warnings so off to the basement we went.

The teepee is an amazing invention, especially when you consider the lining. About those firearm channels, none of them are a monetized channel, so if I did videos like that I'd lose my income. I had to move my firearm videos over to Rumble, but there's not enough exposure there for us to earn a living to keep doing what we do so we'll need to just abide by YTs rules.
I like watching people that take their time and don't have to rush to the next place they miss so much. You two are a good match for one another that's nice to see as well so many people can't get along with one another but you two do it very well. Great light show there I love to watch storms as they come up and take photo's of the lightning ( my wife yells at me all the time for doing it) I will watch that part of the video a few more times for sure. We love watching your video's your always so clam and never in a rush so you can be my sensei because I am still not as slow as I want to be but I have gotten better over the years with not running straight to where I want to be and more to if I make it there ok if not that's ok to. Stay safe and take care and we hope that your tomorrow is better than your today was ~~~~ I know that will take some work looks like you have a lot of great days.

We motorhome from Las Vegas to the upper Midwest every year to visit family and thoroughly enjoy going through Nebraska and Iowa on the back roads because the small towns are so receptive to RVers. Glad to see an “out west” Vlogger taking us through the Midwest and appreciating what you are finding along the way…PS broke down south of Beatrice 8/31 and the locals stopped to offer help, and a local repair shop worked on our motorhome before anyone else’s vehicle saying they understood being stranded…nice nice people. I doubt we would have received that service here in the west…
"And like everywhere in Iowa,it's nicely mowed! These people like to mow!..Rick I laughed so hard at that comment because it is SO true of people in the Midwest! They sure do love their finely manicured lawns. I enjoyed the fact you are traveling lesser traveled road and not the interstate highways!. Also, if you're a reader I would like to suggest a book for you titled Blue Highways by Least Heat Moon. Don't let the authors name fool you it's an excellent book about a modern day guy as he traverses the United States. HAPPY TRAVELS!!

I'm headed back through there next week in my RV.

Keeping this video for future reference. We stayed in Superior, Nebraska this summer for two weeks. Yes, they allow for two weeks at a time. They do allow for donations, if you so wish. You get water and electric. The town only has 1,957 pop. Therefore they do appreciate the income for their community business while we rv there. We shopped, washed clothes, bought diesel, etc. Harrison, Nebraska is another town of less than 300 pop. But they only allow for 3 days. Sweet towns with sweet clean air, and low pollen at the time we stayed there. And those places do like to keep the grass cut!

_This is what I do for my allergy/ itchy eyes and runny nose. Get a bowl of distilled water and some salt, dilute the salt into the bowl. Wash your eyes with a clean cloth or cotton pads, and use Q-tips for the inside of the nose. A few times a day. It takes care of my eyes and nose for a few days at a time. Rabbit sagebrush is terrible this year out here in the desert. I'm up north in Nevada, where that stuff is everywhere! Hope this helps you two? A couple of nights ago a huge thunderstorm roll in, and over my camping spot; it was very cool! Haven't been in one for about a year.

I have been watching your travels, Love them. I am 67 and just bought a 6 by 12 foot Cargo trailer. I haven't been away for the last 20 years. So soon enough, Lol. Quick Question, What is the ground clearance of your trailer? The used one I just bought doesn't seem as high as yours. I haven't been under it yet but I was told that it has a 5 inch drop down axle. Thinking of ordering a straight axle. It would give me an additional 5 inches of clearance since it is a Dexter axle.

Sitting level, our trailer is about 16" off the ground at the corners. We've found that to be good enough and seldom touch anything. Our straight axle isn't reversed either and sits on top of the leaf springs.

You have probably heard this a thousand times before, but if I knew you were coming.... You passed within 1/2 mile of my house on your way to Beatrice (Bee-at-tris). Hwy 77 Is just a few blocks to the west of my house in SW Lincoln. I would have really liked meeting you in person. The 4 H building behind you in the video is where they used to have the gun shows every year before Covid. Hebron (He-brun). The bricks that make up the streets you showed, probably came from Endicott Brick Factory just to the SE of Fairbury which you would have gone thru to get to Hebron. They have been making bricks for just over 100 years, and also do special order sculpture bricks. You were headed in the right direction going into CO to head down to the Dunes Natl Park. If you haven't been there, you might put it on your places to go. It is one of the cleanest Natl parks around, and at one point it was the #1 park in CO. It was about 45 min from my cabin, so I went there a lot. You can even sand surf there, and the very shallow stream that flows thru coming off the snows in the surrounding mountains is a huge sand beach to suntan and swim.

No, I haven't been to Bent's Fort. I guess I wasn't aware of it. That's too bad because I would go thru Pueblo or near there about 10 times a year when I had my cabin in the Sangre de Cristo mountains down by San Luis. Another stop I always thought about as I drove the interstate north of Pueblo, was a volcano-looking hill some miles north of Pueblo (don't remember for sure). It was on the east side of the highway on flat land, back in about a mile, and was very sharply pointed at the top like a volcano. I couldn't find any info on the internet and always forgot about it until I was looking at it as I zoomed down the highway.
Kanoe said, "Well that was cool!". Yes, we loved this one.

It's so much fun cruising the backroads through the little towns and finding these things. You need to come along!!
Great gentle humour. Kimba in South Australia states it's middle of Australia, and has a huge statue of a galah😁

I had to look up Kimba, and you're right---that's a huge statue of a galah. In a town north of us here, they have a huge statue of a penguin.
