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!

I never met a stranger. My kids think I'm strange but most people have a story I haven't heard yet. We love to laugh and tell stories ourselves. Married 53 years , means we have each heard each other's story but strangers hasn't heard it yet. Bonus!
I thought of one the other day that Linda hadn't heard yet, but she's heard most of mine! 49 years for us.
Nebraska has some interesting history I wasn't aware of. Thank you for another adventure. Happy trails!
Neat place. How interesting. Husband was aware of the balloons but it was the first time I'd heard of it. Thanks again for increasing our (my) knowledge!
I loved the sign in the store:
Burglars must carry ID.
So we can notify your next of kin.
🤣
I missed that!
I've traveled all over the country and Canada. As much as I enjoy the beauty, it's the people that I meet that I love the most.
Have you ever weighed your backpack? That’s another plus to water filters. They weigh a lot less than carrying lots of water. Gotta keep it lite or hire a Sherpa! 😎
The weight of my pack changes all the time depending on what I'm doing at the time, but it's heavier than it needs to be!
Good morning! O dark hundred coffee and uploads? Godspeed my friends. Thanks again for taking us along.
Thanks for the video. It was so interesting to see the story of the Japanese Exploding Balloons. We always enjoy following along with you.
Reminds me of exploding hydrogen balloons we made when kids using lye soap and aluminum foil. Last time I looked in grocery store for red devil drain cleaner, to do it again, i couldn't find any.
I recently found your videos. My father traveled all over the US and Mexico starting in about 1910. He started taking me long when I was 6(in the 40s).we camped all over Your travels remind me of those great days traveling and camping what now would be the 'back roads'.Thank You. AL
Great video Rick and Linda. I loved the store you visited. I was surprised to hear the balloons made it so far inland. We are glad you are heading south and will enjoy seeing Linda in Florida. Stay safe.
Hello Allen, our trips are based on those old days of travel that I remember as a kid, much like the trips that you remember yourself.
As always another awesome video! Love that country store.
We have always loved the sand hills of Nebraska. This is one of the friendliest states in the US. The night sky is fabulous, too! Plus, you may get a chance to see the Sandhill cranes.
Plenty of sandhill cranes in Florida too.
There's Sandhill Cranes in Alaska too and during the migration pilots have to watch carefully to avoid flying into them. That's deadly for all involved.
Love the stops you are making. So much better than Interstate rest stops!
Nice video Rick & Linda,
That old store in Nebraska is my kind of store, love it!
Thanks for reminding me to pick up a new water filter.
I really like that knife sharpener, I may have to buy one.
JT
Store guy needs to READ THE ROOM! Wow… “Jap” balloon? Really ignorant
I caught that, also. Made me cringe!
Home on the range! thank you ALL stay safe
Wish I had a bump sticker " SLOW DOWN life's about the journey not the destination"
Ah, history and good stories and interestng people. Love it! We make friends everywhere we go. We have found people are mu ch nicer in general than one might think. We never tire of your videos. We'll see you next week. Happy trails!!
I love your videos. I always learn something interesting. Btw, I live in that upper part of tornado alley Louisiana. But don’t worry you will get tornado alerts on your phone 😱!
We'll be careful and thanks for telling us about the alerts,
A few years ago we stayed in McCook, Nebraska for a few days. It was a good place to dump and fill tanks, do some grocery shopping and do some wash.
Wonderful video, with so much to learn. I had heard about balloons being sent over by the Japanese during WW2 but I didn't know they made it all the way to Nebraska!
Linda your reading of the Mari Sandoz sign was really well done. Thank you.
Thank you!
@@gonagain I'm so glad you two are willing to share your life with us here. It is comfortable "traveling with you." Please continue, I'd miss your sweet smiles and calming voices.
That was awesome! Thanks for giving us information about the Japanese balloons.
I could fall asleep to her voice reading
Wow! I am in my 60s and until I watched this video I had never heard of the balloons. Thanks for sharing this part of history with us.
Thanks for watching, Eddie. Hope to "see" you on the next video.
I just took a trip to Utah to pass down our touring kayaks to our kids. On my way back I turned down a road on a lark, in Eureka, NV. It had the same name as a relative of ours. While I was turning around at the road’s dead end an elderly man stopped. We waved and introduced ourselves and chatted. He knew my deceased relatives and gave me some info, pointed me the right way. It was so heartwarming to run into him and to chat with him. My daughter called it “random” when I told her about meeting him and how nice he was. I don’t think it was random at all…
Looks like you guys are making it across the country pretty well. That store in the beginning was neat.
It was also the "town". Cool place.
Nebraska hwy 2 is surprisingly pleasant. Driven it dozens of times. McCook on US 26 is a Nebraska gem. Seems you're traveling part of the varying routes we take when traveling home to KC and STL to visit family and friends.😊
We sure enjoyed driving thru there.
Linda mentioned you were traveling on Blue Highways and that reminded me of a book I read by that same title. The author Least Heat Moon tells the story of his travels across America and all the people he encounters sort of like you and Linda! A great book if you haven't read it!
Thanks, Alan! We've both read it and felt it's similarities. Great read.
I knew kids in high school that tried the ditch weed and got really sick, it is the hemp that was grown for rope. I like that Chevy. Often people say the Japanese balloons only hit the west coast but they hit other places. When I was a kid I was told a story about a town in Wisconsin that was hit with a balloon and the military burned the town school, church and all.
Hope you guys stay safe and healthy.
We're still learning as we age. We only knew about the one balloon in Oregon and it wasn't all that long ago when we learned about that one.
Nice video,. How many miles do you normally travel in a day or what time do you usually stop to make camp.
Good question, John. We normally travel 2-300 miles per day and try to be in camp by 5pm if at all possible.
$350 for a water filter. You certainly have a great deal more money than I do.
I guess that depends on your needs. If the grid goes down and the water stops flowing from your faucet then the price wouldn't seem too high. That's why I've done so many videos on water filters, because it's a basic need that folks take for granted, but could be lost so easily due to storms or social unrest.
This video was the first time I’ve noticed Rick’s earring. We just got back from a tent camping weekend. It was enjoyable but a muddy mess. It was a monsoon when we were trying to pack things up
Somehow we've managed to dodge the rain. Rick and I both have a pierced left ear for crossing the equator under sail, a long time ago.
lol Hemp plants and Marijuana plants look identical but are genetically different. Hemp plants have no psychoactive compounds. All you would get from smoking it is probably a headache.
You're near what's called the ancient sand dunes of Nebraska caused by high winds back when that area was more arid and more free blowing sands. Really neat geography there!
That's right! Have you ever heard of "fossilized sand dunes" like the ones in southern Utah?
So, thanks to you guys, I went ahead and purchased the RO Filter. And the discount worked! And although I do RV camping I also enjoy tent camping. This will be a valuable addition to my tent camping equipment. No need to haul a lot of water if you know you're gonna be near a stream, pond or lake during your outdoor adventures. Thanks for sharing guys! Stay safe!!! BTW, as always, loved your video!
Thank you!
Another awesome adventure..you all have fun!! Hubby will also be heading out soon....to visit grand child in washington...can't wait...you both have really enjoy life!!! Allways enjoy the storys...sailing.....Wow..admire you both!!!
We just can't get enough of road trips. Thanks, Cynthia.
Any suggestions when we drive from Nm via utah idaho oregon then wa..we have been to moab and falls in idaho maybe oregon and wa places to see. ..if my memory is correct..i think you all know wa pretty good...thanks again linda and rick..
.
We treasured driving across the sand hill of Nebraska with my Dad B4 he died one more time. Traveled across it regularly in my youth to see my Dad's mom at least yearly in the 50s and 60s. I've read Mari Sandoz as well and loved her version of her father. You can go on the old ranch but none of his fruit trees remain. Valentine had a great university? Book store for paperbacks by NE writers and Iregan Trail diaries.
We love the history we come across in our travel, history that touches us in the present.
Love your videos. I've spent most of my life on the road (trucking). I took every opportunity I could to visit the rural areas. I am a talker, don't know what a stranger is.. The education I received cannot be taught in any university. Safe travels to "y'all" as we say in the south.
Thank you, Randy!
It looks like your visit in Nebraska was enjoyable and informative. One point of fact that you may not know is that throughout the entire state there are no natural lakes. Every body of water is a reservoir. Good for crops, livestock and recreation. Just thought that I would toss that out for you. Carry on, you two! ... Oh, and speaking of the balloon bombs, one actually dropped here in midtown and caused some casualties. - Michael of Omaha
Thank you for the additional information, Michael. We noticed that there were a lot of lakes and ponds of water. It sure made for a beautiful landscape.
Thanks for sharing, yall will be coming close to us here in s.w Virginia, be blessed
Once again, lots of great info. Thanx again Rick and Linda. Happy trails!
Thank you, Mark, appreciate your comment.
For a minute, I thought about the book: Man Called Horse and the movie! But then realized it was written by someone else! I learned a few things this morning; thanks!
Interesting you mention Jessie James name… about a mile from me is the ole Aunt Fannie Reed home place… years back she told me about the story when Jessie James had stayed in the house she lived in (owned by her grandparents at the time) he stayed upstairs at this boarding house and there had been shots fired there at attempt to arrest ole Jessie the bullet holes were clearly still there as she pointed them out. Jessie moved out this area over to Silver Creek Ms ( also there was a movie made about Jessie James and his Women filmed in the Silver Creek area too
Very cool! What a time in history.
Balloon Bombs... I had heard of those but never heard any of them actually made it here. I am surprised it made it all the way to Nebraska!
Nebraska Iowa and even Michigan! I left a link in my post. HUNDREDS of them made it here!
@@juststeve7665 Wow! That's amazing!
That was my kind of store too. Looking forward to the upcoming videos.👍🏻
My kinda store love your travels
Thanks for the trip!
🙋🏼
Enjoyed your northern travels. Looks like you are having a good time!
April 10th Little Rock, up just south of Jacksonville, to Wynne AR were hit severely hard. Hope you were not traveling thru here around that time!! This is May 7 and don't think there is any severe weather expected for the next week.
Thanks, Daisy Mae. We're spending a few days in FL with my sister and will head westward in a couple of days. Did you find a hat yet?
@@gonagain I think you are about done with cool weather in Florida. Sure seem to be lots of boondocking down there. Hope we go sometime soon, perhaps in the fall.
No, have not found a hat yet. Everything is soooo large. I have lots of hats, but, I keep my hair very short now, so, almost all of them are way too large. But, I will keep looking. I need to go over to Target, as you mentioned. They used to have a good selection, but not last time I looked. Enjoy your travels you two!!! Beautiful weather right now... 💫
cool rick n linda, thanks..
I like the knife sharpener, I’m going to keep an eye out for one in my travels.
Cute tongue there girly.
Guess I'm having hamburger for lunch. Early lunch.😁.
Coffee, it helps that places don't use those pots any more, mostly. Burnt coffee I don't care for.
Enjoyed your Adventure here!
I agree!
Check out Sheriff Warren Hyde and the story involving Japanese Fu-Go Balloons in ww2
Thanks, TM. I pinned the article to the top of the comment thread.
Hemp! Much of the Midwest was once hemp plantations, used extensively for canvas, rope, textiles, and livestock feed.
I just picked up a Sawyers twin-pack from the Clearance Isle at a local Wally-World. A great deal at twenty two bucks.
I think Montana just legalized hemp production recently. Good thing. Glad you got the filters!
Ya'll be careful we live 12 miles from Augusta, G.A. in S.C.and we haven't had much tornados activity in our area rhus year thank goodness
Thanks, John. We're watching the weather closely as we travel along.
Excellent video. I need to get to Kansas one of these days. My grandpa on Mom's side was from Hutchinson. I spent a couple days in Missouri/Illinois around Scott AFB back in 1991 and managed to avoid any insane asylums, but maybe I should have visited. You two travel safe.
Good thing you didn't venture near one of those asylums!
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts, I appreciate you
Thank you, Patrisha!
The museums there in St. Joe are awesome.
At one time we owned a homes in Jewell and Mankato KS. Knew the area you had lunch. I remember the free camping in Jewell city park. We are now in Tennessee and watch the storms closely. Have you heard of TH-camr's Ryan Hall Y'All or Andy Hill? Check them out, they have the best forecasting of weather. Their coverage of storms is must for us. Been watching you for awhile, enjoy your travels and broadcasts.
Thank you for watching our videos. We watch both of those guys you mentioned plus some others and NOAA too.
Rick what metal type of bolts and washers to use with aluminum so the aluminum doesn't get eaten up?
Hello Mark, stainless steel.
Very enjoyable.
I wonder how he refers to people of color, or different religions (that are not his own)?
I know. What a dick. That's exactly the kind of person I do NOT to run into in my travels. Let alone patronize his store.
?
@@MrKim-kv2vv The store owners said "Japs" when referring to the Japanese WW2 terror balloons. It was a common slur during and directly after WW2
Great video Rick, man that was a neat old store. Yeah those Jap balloons right? Haha wow! Sounds like you had some fun with those air rifles, that's cool. Cheers to you and Linda 🍺💪
It was amazingly accurate.
Do you ever need to rinse or somehow clean the hiking filtration system you shared?
Hello Clara. Yes, you back flush them once in awhile with clean water. They all come with instructions on how to do that.
God bless , I love you're roads less travels and bye ways camping. You are the best.
Thank you, Joyce. We think we have the best viewers.
If you travel down (or up) I-65, I can give you a free place to camp and free power as long as you need it. ed
Thank you, Ed, appreciate the offer very much.
You guys are putting along nicely. That was a worthy looking store. Next time, get a picture of the burgers...😢
Linda and I ordered a 1 pound burger yesterday and split it. The restaurant mixed and ground the meat onsite and it was fantastic. The Front Porch restaurant in Dunnellon, FL. The pie was the best!
@Gonagain You two will be my hero's if you make it to Key West and get a Cheeseburger in Paradise, and an original Keylime Pie.
If you pour coca cola through those filters will they convert it to clear water?
Interesting, but no, you need to start with water in the first place. However, they use RO filters to turn saltwater into fresh, but the one in my video isn't designed for that.
***Who 😢Knows How many Many MANY Things These FooLs are 👆 To
Thanks for sharing your adventure eastward!! While in Fl , check out Cross creek in Miconopy . Marjorie Kinan Rawlings homestead . 😁👍
Just tagging along :
Welcome!
There's free or cheap camping all over just have to slow down, ask locals and pay attention like you two😂.
I live southwest of St. Joe.
We like St. Jo ad returned there on purpose. Missouri is one of our favorite states.
The primary intent for the Japanese incendiary balloons was to start forest fires or any fire for that matter. A few fatalities were recorded.
each balloon carried 4 - 10 to 12 kg incendiary bombs and 1 - 25kg high explosive. The only known/recorded fatalities were @ Bly Oregon... 1 pregnant woman and 4 children (so actually 6?) who were going to have a picnic and discovered the high explosive bomb and accidentally set it off. The primary intent of the balloons was to terrorize the American public. U.S. Government censorship and control of the news media prevented that.
Great info you guys, thank you.
My kind of store and people. I believe in purchasing items as well when I’m in a store that allows me to film them
I was in Nebraska last night. I'll be in Des Moines Iowa for a week
Hi Chris! We'll be here a couple of days more (in FL) then will
meander back westward.
@@gonagain I'll be in Missouri next week
I watched a video on the lifestraw,it was tested to see if it removes bacteria and clean the water, it sure did, it works great.
Too bad you didn't take the highway 20 route, you missed some of the most beautiful country in nebraska. The Niobrara river valley should have been on your list.
We've been down highway 20 in the past and it's beautiful.
That’s cheap enough
Great video all over . Safe travels
What is in FL other than adventure?
We're finding out now. For one thing, bugs!
@@gonagain and lots of them! You’re gonna wanna watch out for those 8 foot long bugs in the water too! 🤔😱🤣
Looks like a great store!
Great video guys! 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
What a fun journey ... Thanks again as don't always comment but we sure like watching your vids and always give a thumbs up from MN. >
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you for taking me along on your travels! Your videos add enrichment to my life!
Glad you like them!
You both might enjoy the readings of “Blue Highways” by William Least Heat-Moon. 📚
Thank you, Linda, we read it years ago and a couple of times since but maybe it's time to read it again.
I agree, the people make up the local areas!
I've not met anyone in my trek who hasn't been hospitable😊
Be careful in Missouri & Kansas!!! The tornadoes come in quickly & in many cases, without warning!❤
Hello Mona, we were watching the weather carefully and planned our trip accordingly. The tough part was from Florida to Texas!
Am I correct the Itehl RO filter filters out chemicals and pharmaceuticals as well as bacteria but the Membrane solutions filters out only bacteria?
According to their website, Membrane Solutions will filter out 99.99% of heavy metals as well.
You mentioned fluoride in water. I use a berky water filter but have not been using the fluoride filters. Should I switch?
Hello Vern, I wouldn't. A lot of folks seem concerned about the flouride, but I just don't see the negative effects myself.
Oh, and so glad you got your trailer fixed up. I know you must be really enjoying the upgrades!!! 😊
That countertop in the front made a HUGE difference, in fact I'm standing at it typing right now.
I always find your videos relaxing and informative and frequently listen to them as I mow! But this video was special because you spent some time in the sandhills. Don't know if you remember a little church called Pleasant Point a couple miles south of the Mari Sandoz marker. My dad pastored that church in the 70s and 80s and in fact was born and raised on land just to the east. My sister in law worked at the store there in Ellsworth for several years making western shirts.
We've been through that general area several times and always enjoy going back.
Hope y’all didn’t run into bad weather in Missouri.🌪
It was mainly cool weather for us but we didn't mind it. We sure enjoyed Missouri.
The train reminded me of Hobo Shoestring. I looked at his site to see if he was on the train, but it looks like he is in Alaska. I wonder why Ukraine doesn't use balloons on Russia.
These days they're using drones I guess.
I love all of your videos.thanks for all you do
Thank you, Joseph, we appreciate your comment!
I noticed yall went the long way around Louisiana
Thank yall for the video. It was great. I love history
😆
Very interesting video I really enjoyed it😊
Thank you, Teresa! We've been in Florida for the past week and will be heading west again soon. Not sure where yet.
How do you get water at Walmart?
OTC?
No, Walmart sells bulk filtered water. I just take my 5 gallon containers in and fill them. The cost is .29 - .39 cents per gallon, depending on the location. The dispenser is usually in the very front or the back of the store.
Exploding Balloons? I'm in. :)
Ok that was quite interesting... I didn't know the recent chinese one wasn't a new thing. hah
Hemp was grown and harvested years ago to make hemp rope, as you may well know.
Sheridan Co is part of my old stomping grounds as I hunted northern Sheridan Co for 25 years, particularly the Mission Ranch.
Beautiful area where game looked plentiful. I bet the hunting was great.
@@gonagain It was great hunting. Took many deer and some turkey there. Three of the deer made the state record book.
Hello from Pensacola
