Thanks, but I'm good!

Glad you enjoyed the video. Hadn't heard of dirt daubers, thanks.

Thanks, but it still sounds funny! ;))

@@travelswithtrigger Sounds funny to me, too. My great-grandfather's first wife is referred to as his "consort" on her tombstone. When I was a kid, I thought she was his girlfriend instead of his wife. lol.

Our first thought as well!

Yea, we don't get there enough, we'll have to reconsider that!

I thought you might like it!

Thanks for the comment, I'm always working on improving!

@@travelswithtrigger okay but I think if I help you your channel will gradually improve

Glad you enjoyed the video. I love Mississippi!

Yes, an awesome place. Hopefully, you'll find the next video just as interesting. It starts with the ironside USS Cairo, it totally blew me away! And thanks for the comment and following us!

@@travelswithtrigger I'll look forward to take

You're right, this is one of the most beautiful places in Arizona. But I do have to say we're probably not the "norm" as we love the desert. I didn't always, but over 50 years ago started spending time in it all over the west and fell in love with it. Funny thing, in all that time I have probably only seen a venomous creature twice--but lots of spiky things! Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video!

No, we haven't been there but we did spend sometime at a Fish Camp in Uncertain, TX on Caddo Lake. That was before we started vlogging but we have wanted to get back over there. We'll have to check out Bald Cypress Swamp when we do. Thanks!

Glad you did! It's a pretty amazing place.

That's pretty amazing! Great place to visit, isn't it?

Wow, I am impressed--and glad you enjoyed them! I did visit the museum when I first got to Texas 16 years ago and it's probably time to get back, it's a wonderful place. Maybe we can ge there this summer as Carol is going to be Immobile until our Spring trips with an Achilles tendon surgery!?! Ouch! Thanks again for your effort!

Yes, it was a truly beautiful place to visit!

It was an incredible find as it's so off in an area you wouldn't expect something so amazing!

I'm not exactly sure what your asking? As to this video, we created it last fall (2023) in Georgia but just got home from our trip this (2024) fall. We're about a year behind on the videos we post. We did miss all of the weather problems in the southeast this year as we were up in the midwest during all of the Hurricane activity. Let me know if this doesn't answer your question.

@travelswithtrigger yes it answers them very well. Sorry I wasn't too clear. I have c a shaky finger and it tends to do cause trouble.

Oh, no problem. I appreciated your concern!

Glad you enjoyed it! Great place to visit.

Glad you enjoyed it, we had wanted to see these places for years and finally got there on our first vlogging trip! (Sorry for the late reply, both Carol and I have been sick since we got home on Wednesday--Covid!)

Laughing is more than welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video and I know you'll enjoy New Mexico, a magical place! (Sorry for the late reply, both Carol and I have been sick since we got home on Wednesday from our most recent trip--Covid!)

Oh thanks for your concern, fortunately we were in Colorado when the hurricane hit - far away! I hope you are fine and safe.

You’re right, we don’t mean it to me making fun but rather commenting on the dialect in different parts of the country just like we say huge and y’all because it reflects the various cultures that we travel through. So I’m sorry, I certainly didn’t mean to offend you or anyone.

Awesome, thanks for the explanation as it was a mystery to me! :-)

Yes, and gorgeous!

Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying them.

Yes, this is an amazing part of the country and always fun to visit and explore. Thanks for the comment!

We’re on the road right now, so I can’t check that but will do so when I get home. Thanks for noticing!

You’re quite welcome! It’s a pretty cool town.

Yes, we did go to Steubenville, in fact it’s on the next video and there was plenty of Dean Martin memorabilia around, so I hope you watch it and thanks for the comment!

That’s kind of rude :-)

Giovanni pizza is an ironton staple. Best pizza ever!

Unfortunately, we didn’t eat there - or in town I mean, but yeah, those furnaces seem to make more sense with buildings around them! Thanks

Yes, it’s an incredible place and we only scratch the surface! Have fun thanks for the comment.

Yes, that road is pretty daunting! We've done it a few times and it doesn't get any less nerve wracking.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I did look up the Dickeyville Grotto and it looks pretty amazing. Coincidentally, we're going to be in Wisconsin next month but unfortunately not in that area. I have marked it tho and maybe we can get there in the future. Thanks again!

Thanks! I hadn't heard that term before, but it sure fits!

I wondered about that, thanks!

Great to hear! That's exactly why we started the channel.

Wow, it's so wonderful to hear when people enjoy what we do! Trigger is a great dog and he said to say "hi!".

I think I cut Carol off when she was about to comment on that. Later on though, I didn't see any red bridges when we crossed into Indiana! ;))

Thanks, nice history!

​@@travelswithtrigger I think the story of the arrival of the Fremonts in central Utah, and their travels south, is one of the great untold sagas in human history! The ancestors of the Fremont people started out on the Russian Steppes, circa the mid-22 Century BC, as the Proto-Indo-European people. Those peoples spread out, across Europe, Russia, northern Africa, and Vedic India, founding the languages of Europe, India, Russia, (probably) Mongolia, and Siberia. Eventually, their descendants "discovered" the "new" lands of the Americas (the sobriquet "new", used by the Spaniards and the English, tells a tale in itself). Descendants of the PIE people would drift down across northwestern Canada, following the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, some venturing easterly, eventually becoming the Algonquins, Sioux, and other (northern) American Indian tribes. They were probably the people of Cahokia. In any case, the Fremont People became the Anasazi, by the time they reached to southern shores of the inland sea I mentioned, first venturing out onto the clifftops, then down onto the cliffsides, and finally, out onto the prairies, between 500-700 years later, where they began building a trading empire that reached all the way to San Diego, almost 700 miles away, across some of the most difficult terrain in the nation. The Anasazi did not "walk away", in my opinion. They continued their journey, playing one last important role in the story of the ancient Americas, before their descendants returned to the American Southwest, to found the Navajo, Hopi, Ute, and other tribes, in the 15th Century AD, more than three millennia after their ancestors had set out "east" (not necessarily the direction, at the time, due to the events that set these people in motion). Our ancient past, before 700BC, is a tangled mess of bad guesses, religious orthodoxy, and ham-fisted attempts to make sense of a jumbled assortment of stories, myths, legends, and beliefs.

It is!

Thanks "Rusty" and for the further clarification on the pronunciation of Cairo (Karo)! The first time I came here I was in awe and sad at the same time. It has such wonderful buildings mixed in with the ruins and vacant plots. Did you ever visit there before it declined? I am guessing it was amazing!

@@travelswithtrigger Hi there, I was there as a kid in the early 70s for the first time. The decline was well underway after the race riots of the late 1960s. Last time I was there was 2019. Pretty much a ghost town. Very sad. Hi Trigger 🐶🐕🦮

Wow, that's earlier than I thought although I knew of the problems in the '60's. Thanks for the info--and Trigger says Hi back!

What could be more important!

It reminds me of old broken down houses ;)) Thanks!

“Glyphs”

Thanks 👍
