    Further to an earlier comment re likes or dislikes....after watching a few vlogs and deciding you do not like Eric’s presentations; stop watching and giving negative comments! Eric takes good care of Jax, provides interesting points of interest about his travels, and has a very positive attitude. The vast majority into his vlogs! He is getting better each year and he captures the “quirky” sections of each community he visits! Keep up the good work Eric....the extra time you spend editing is appreciated.

    It's funny that you have to tell viewers to calm down when you make a change to your travels. I don't care where you go, as long as you record stuff. I love your real life emotions and situations, along with seeing stuff I may want to visit some day. Keep being true to yourself.

    Thanks for the tour. Those sculptured statues that stretched the block...beautiful and amazing details.
    What a harsh life back then...
    Actually some of my favorite videos are when you're doing projects or visiting. Maybe we'll get a glimpse.
    By all means, everybody needs a life!
    I would hope you'd socialize and have fun. 🙂
    You and Jax have a great time! Be safe... ☺

    Steam engines are something else, in September of 2016 we saw the 844 come rolling into the Kirkwood Mo. station. There is nothing like the sound of a steam engine whistle. They laid over for about a half hour. Loved the metal sculptures.

    One of the surviving Big Boy locomotives is being restored by Union Pacific. It's supposed to participate in the 150th Anniversary Golden Spike Re-Enactment next year in Utah.

    I found Jax`s tail quite interesting at the beginning. It goes straight up and has a hook on top! Ok, maybe I`m crazy too...…….

  • @ImperfectLioness
    @ImperfectLioness 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love that big steam engine! My father loves trains and he knows all about that one! I literally have been binge watching your videos beginning with your very first one and I must give you serious kudos for how educational they really are. As one who hopes to become a nomadic jewelry designer and artist someday, I most enjoy the quirky and historical things you find. I have a feeling when I finally get my rolling home I may find myself going back to your videos and reviewing the cool things you found. Also to enjoy seeing Jax! He is one incredible kitty! God bless you and safe travels!

    Thanks for your visit to Nebraska. We enjoyed having you here. Be sure to come back when you can stay longer and see more of this great state. The fall is a great time as our trees change colors into their beautiful colors. That was a red bud tree at the Railroad park.

    Eric, I just got my first car, I'm in my mid 20s and haven't had many real experiences. Thanks to you and your content, your art, I too want to travel. Despite the fact that I hold a full time job, I'm determined to make this year of adventure positive experiences. I just wanted to let you know what an inspiration you are to me. To be able to see these amazing places, knowing what to expect to have an idea of what I can see, like Zion. Next year I'm planning on going to Utah to see that very park. I just got back from a short trip to the north shore (I live in Minnesota) and I can see why you love to do what you do. Keep on goin Eric and Jax-man, and don't ever, ever stop.

    I'm so glad you found the Spirit of Nebraska statues downtown!!! They are truly an amazing work of art and, if you take the time, you sense the adventure and hardship of those days! I lived in Omaha for 1 1/2 years and it really is a beautiful city! You did a great job!

  • @krustykamper
    @krustykamper 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hey Eric, another great video, really enjoyed it.
    I did notice when you take the bike off the rack you have similar problem I had
    with the front tyre skidding as it rolls down the ramp. I can be a lot worse when the ramp is wet....Ask me about it.:(
    I fitted some sticky back gripper tape (The type of thing fitted to skateboards) on the rack.
    This stopped the tyre skid, and helped control the bike as it rolls down.
    Keep up the good work bro. :)

    I know Wyoming was not very inviting... But did you know that you actually passed within about five miles of a Big Boy Union Pacific steam locomotive when you where in Cheyenne. Also you missed the roundhouse that cared for them. I think that I saw on you tube that they are restoring a Big Boy. Great video keep up the GREAT work.
