    Thanks, Robert, for showing the true spirit of West Virginia. I grew up there. My wife is a coal miner's daughter from near Fayetteville. We used to drive the narrow winding roads and cross that little bridge. Your video warmed my heart with wonderful memories! We've been away for 58 years and are not able to travel anymore, So, your video was just like going back home.

    Another great video Robert but I have one complaint about it. I grew up in WV and your video made me home sick for the mountains. I have lived in Florida for the past 30 years. I have taken my wife there several times and she loves the beauty of the state. Almost heaven!!

    I visited West Virginia in November of last year. I also visited St. Albans, Charleston, New River Gorge (did a hike to Long Point) and Babcock State Park. I also visited the tiny community where my mother was born!! Another great video, Robert. And yes, I was bummed that the State Capitol was closed and the dome was wrapped up. However, when you have surgery, you are wrapped up at the beginning and the bandages are taken off. Greetings from Washington state!! :)

    Gorgeous, even a step above your usual high standards. Always heard how underappreciated WVA is, thanks for showing why.

    A beautiful state. Looks like some of those really narrow trails with stone walls on one side and deep drops on the other are better suited for Billy goats than people.

    Enjoyed the premiere, Robert. You visited some awesome places. We pass by the Charleston capitol building on our travels up and down I-77 when we go up to Ohio. Know we are getting close when we see the golden dome. The New River Gorge and bridge are so cool to see. The grist mill is so iconic. Thanks for a great video, Robert!

    Robert, maybe you could take a fall trip to be a “leaf peeper”. Where I am in Georgia there is not a lot of good places to look at all the beautiful yellow, red and orange leaves. Thank you.

    What a great video! It was good to see my husband’s home state of West Virginia! He grew up across from St Albans in the town of Nitro (built as a result of the First World War). He is feeling homesick while watching your beautiful video! Btw, the river is the Kuh-NAW-uh. Not many people get the pronunciation 😊
    Thank you!

    Hello Traveling Robert😊😊🎸🎸🎵🎵, what a wonderful trip through West Virginia. As you know, the only part of WV I have seen was Harper's Ferry so following you to epic places like the New River Gorge and bridge was absolutely SPECTACULAR! Enjoyed the walk to the rapids for another epic view looking up toward the bridge. I also found out recently that what was the New River Gorge National River is now the New River Gorge National Park & Preserve, AWESOME! OUTSTANDING footage of beautiful West Virginia. Looking forward to the next destination. I'm coming to Miami and Key West very soon, possibly June. Can't wait to see the PELICANS!! And, maybe Traveling Robert😊😊👍👍.

    Thank you Robert, for another excellent video. West Virginia looks amazing and definitely is getting added to our list of must visit destinations. Our snow is finally melted here in New Brunswick Canada, and our camping season is just around the corner. Really looking forward to getting our border open, so that you guys can come and visit our wonderful land, and that we can once again visit yours. So much to see and so many fine places to camp here in North America. As always, safe and happy travels.

    Robert, I have become addicted to your channel! Just saw the Zion trip and I give you a lot of credit for doing that climb and sharing those views. Your tours are better than any of those TV travelogues. You are free to be honest about your trips.If you don't think something is what you were expecting , you say so . Keep traveling!

    @RichardinNC1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice video. I'm from WV and have been to the New River Gorge many times. The New River is great for beginner white water rafting. It starts with easy ones and builds up by then end at the bridge. You need to visit during bridge day where they base jump parachute off it! Third Saturday in Oct. I need to visit other locations you show such as Babcock SP.

    Wild and Wonderful! As always, another great vlog of the big 2020 summer trip. Thank you. Much like the other states, there's more to see the next time you come through the Mountain State. I live in the Northern part (Preston County) and there is plenty more beauty to be had around here. You haven't used it all up, yet!
    Please keep well and keep on, cheers.

    Fantastic video Robert! Amazing what you can find when you get off the interstate. I logged a lot of miles in West Virginia but all on the turnpike. I don't know about you but West Virginia always felt secluded and hidden away from the rest of the United States. I felt the same way driving through Montana. I had forgotten just how late into the year you were still on the Summer 2020 trip. Thanks for another great installment.
