    Eric, I know that you will not be able to read this but I want/ed to say it all-the-same. I find you to be a treasure trove of great information and a great educational instrument. I have gained so much knowledge from watching your very entertaining videos. And for that, I want to thank you!!!
    Safe travels out there.

    • @nomadicfanatic

      Not that you wouldn't see it but, not have the time to... well, I mean, you are a very busy person, and I know that your time is very full and you might not see my comment because it would just get lost in all of the other comments, and then there are all of those filthy things that lives under bridges and their comments to weed-through.
      Cheers.

  • @InquireWithin
    @InquireWithin 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One of my favorite things about your channel and other tiny house/ van life type channels is seeing people happy. The tv and news is full of all the crazy stuff going on and watching other people be happy is a good way to decompress all of that and breathe :) nice Rammstein tattoo by the way, the world needs more metal-heads

  • @helmitpeak
    @helmitpeak 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Happy birthday sweet little Jax may you have many more. Your still young Eric and 160 miles of driving exhausted you? Hell i'm 76 and that would have been a piece of cake for me. Love your videos.

    Aww! *HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAX!!!!* Yes, I did notice there was no driving footage. Right after you said you had driven, like, a hundred and fifty miles (!?) I thought, "Whoa! When did that happen. Not a second of video?". I'm looking forward to your trip across the heartland.

    Arroyo Grande used to be the most beautiful place. That Hot L you stayed by looked very shady :) So I am not sure where you are headed but In Burbank, there are streets you can park on for 72 hours. Oxnard, Burbank Blvd, etc and you could maybe get close enough to ride your bike to some cool places. I know there are lots of film industry places you might be interested in checking out. My son lives in Van Nuys and goes to a music producing school in Burbank. He'd be totally willing to give you a lift somewhere. Good nice guy like you. Have a great day!

    The next time you make a grilled sandwich, or anything for that matter --> Try coconut oil. It browns food incredible well. Thats all I use - even for deep frying. But it will flash off easier than some other oils. But just don't throw it on the propane burner and you'll be OK. ALso Coconut oils do not create the carcinogens that other oils do. Its much healthier.
    EDIT: And no, I didn't notice the lack of driving footage.. Enjoyed all of the other footage though. Its was fine with out it. Just add it in if you feel its necessary.

    A nice day on the road. Thanks for taking us along.
    The park and the suspension bridge were very nice. They must not have chiggers in California, otherwise a lounge on the grass like that would have resulted in about fifty intensely itchy bites.

      @johng4250 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      knightd12 first of all you have no idea who is and who isn't racist. Generally you define ghetto by crime rate, shootings, percent on the dole, percent of renters as opposed to owners, availability of drugs, education level, lots of tagging on every building, gang activity. What have I missed?

    • @knightd12
      @knightd12 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      john g Just as I suspected, you dropped out of school in kindergarten. so perhaps you also reside in a ghetto. The term 'ghetto' was originally used in Venice to describe the part of the city to which Jews were restricted and segregated. You can look down your pointed nose all you want at those who have less than you. I guess you have to find some way to make you feel adequate. It must be depressing to know that this is all you have achieved in life, when you had every advantage imaginable. I bet it sucks to be you.
