    Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If you're into being off-grid and boondocking or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

    When I was a little girl I was very horse crazy and was FASCINATED by the Pony Express. I thought it was literally the coolest thing ever and wished so hard that I could have been a rider. Many years later I worked as horse staff on a summer ranch camp for kids and we set up a Pony Express of our own, we'd collect mail, saddle up, and deliver the mail to the kids' cabins. It was a huge hit!

    I want to visit there someday. My great great grandfather arrived there from Germany in the 1800’s. He was quite the green thumb ram a nursery in St. Joseph, and reportedly helped layout the landscape for the state Capitol grounds. He later came to NM and homesteaded near Santa Fe in the late 1800s. He had a ranch here and housed a few folks who had TB at the time. That’s one reason he came west, to improve his health. Thanks so much for sharing! Chris

I love the world's history, All of it, but it's Americas history that really does it for me. You deliver these stories perfectly and taking us through the museums is Tops, I can never get enough. I tried to introduce a bill to compell the Dept of Ed to focus on and teach more of America's history, but the Red Tape shot me down almost before I got started. I'll bet you two Sunbathers are having a Ball of it in Fla., and hopefully we will be seeing a ton of your adventures in the sunshine state.

I will have to add my special tribute to you also finding an excellent PIE 😋location. I was already making notes for my trip west and have been through this area but not stayed. I never knew the first station was there much less a great museum. I visited near South Pass seeing a stone monument to the route that crossed my path one trip years ago in Wyoming. I had forgotten the Pony express followed the Oregon and Mormon Trail much of the way. This will definitely be a camp stop for me. Thanks for the tour.

    When locomotives reached a certain size, I don’t have the exact facts at the moment, they were equipped with Stokers and the fireman no longer shoveled the coal into the firebox. The fireboxes were so large that they required more coal than could be shoveled by hand. The stoker was a mechanism that ran along the bottom of the coal bunker and up to the firebox. It used Archimedes Screws to move the coal and it would dump out on a table in the rear of the firebox where jets of air would blow it to the area of the firebox where it was needed.
    That CB&Q locomotive was most certainly stoker fired.
    Yes, I love steam engines.

I bet that shotgun pistol would about break your wrist when fired 😂. And the restaurant was lovely. Hard to find such a gem these days that serves home cooked meals.

    Wow Saint Jo is a very interesting place. I need to go back. Only time I ever stopped there I was riding my bike from sturgis bike week back Jo e to southern Illinois. I was so tired I was falling asleep on my Harley. I stopped at a motel to get a room. The guy said he only had one room. I said I will take it, he said I will show you first and had me walk with him to the room. The door hit the bed when you went in. The bed was up against both walls. You climbed over the bed to get to the bath which I think was pretty normal in size.

    Speaking of the James and Younger gang, My Great, Great Grandfather, Dr George Crutchley of Hardin, Missouri, was reputed to have doctored for the James' from time to time. He finally quit doctoring and opened a general store.
    If you ever get back to western Missouri, you need to go to the old wharf district in Kansas City and visit the Steamboat Arabia Museum. Its an interesting glimpse into life in the "west" of the pre-1860's.
