The National Pike Festival was taking place that weekend on Route 40 when you passed through Brownsville, Centerville and Senery Hill, PA. It is a three day festival that takes place the third weekend of May every year that celebrates the Nation Road and it's historical significance.
I've lived within 30 minutes of here my entire life and watching this makes me feel like I've neglected how truly historically important this area is. It is crazy I have been watching you for years and got to see you cross a bridge I travel across every day of my life practically :p
Robert, I realize with each of your video's output that you have to narrate a lot of information as you go from one place to another. The combination of videography, sound, music, and much more, you are your own production company and I love the music that accompanies each section of the video. And I just enjoy the whole thing in a matter of minutes? Thanks Robert much appreciated all the work you put into bringing the whole of America for all to enjoy and appreciate its roots and sights. It gives a rewed look and understanding what a great country it is even withing its ups and downs in the history that was created. And here we are making the most of it all. Cheers.
It never gets old to take the Pitt Tunnel driving thru the beautiful mountains ⛰ and suddenly exiting to the heart of Pittsburgh the city made of steel...awesome to be able to see the places where the US 🇺🇸 history took place...these videos are not only fun, but very educational...still remember the old Westinghouse days in Pittsburgh...
I grew up in W Pa, about 30 miles south of Pgh, right off I 70. My dad loved driving 40 on our way to the beach in the summer but vetoed it most of the time. Took too much time.Great to see the scenery again
Growing up in Maryland we are very aware of the National Road. It's much older than route 66 but had its own roadside attractions most of which are long gone.
Cool video Robert! Early in my trucking career I had the pleasure of picking up a load downtown Pittsburgh, there was construction everywhere and I was lost, this was before GPS and cell phones and I unfortunately hit the side of one of those green port authority buses while making a turn lol..what a day that was! I see they have red ones now too.
.. Through your Videos I not Only get to Travel ALL Over BUT I Also am Getting Reacquainted with The HISTORY That I didn't Know would be So Interesting when I attended School.. WaYYYYyyy Back When!! Lewis & Clark Adventures are so Interesting, For Sure, Robert. And of Course mixed with Beautiful Scenery ESPECIALLY Mountains, it Always get My Attention! Stay Safe ~Laurie
At 28:18 Washington having come forward in time to 1954 as you said, didn't quite come far enough in time for the internet and had to make due with radio and operator-assisted phone calls. 😁
Thank you, Robert. A new beginning! Love your videos. The quality is so good and I learn so much. You can see why Pittsburg was called a steel city: Those bridges are a bit rusty, but thank you for taking us under one of them. What an archetectual acheivement. Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity to see the museum. Pittsburg should be a bucket-list city to visit for sure.
My husband grew up close to there, Connellsville. I love that area and I feel very loved ( by his cousins ) and comfortable there. I wouldn't mind snow birding ( Florida in winter ) from there in the summer.
What's that tower structure on 2:48? Looks amazing! Not a big fan of "Hiking in the valley" theme though, I find it somewhat disturbing, lol, but that's your work and I respect that. I wish you put "Foothills" theme in each video (although, I think you already do, for that matter :) ). Have a good one, Robert.
Every year communities along rt.40 hold a yard sale....usually on a certain weekend and it is in conjuction with other communities.. I live near rt 40 in near london ohio..and have shopped this yard sale for years..literally shopping for miles😁 Keep up the great vlogs. I have been a subscriber from the beginning..the Tetons vlog hooked me.. 😁👍🏻 🎸🥁🎵 and yes I love the traveling robert music you created🌟🌟🌟🌟 Happy trails!!
Thanks again Robert for this episode. One of our sons went to Duquesney U for his masters degree and later worked at the Heinz Museum for a few years. Pittsburg is a great town.
At least you had someone in the campground with you! We stayed at Alabaster Caverns State Park near Freedom, OK. We were all alone other than the campground host. It was a nice place. Nice campground, but no one else in mid-July.
I’ve discovered this site a couple weeks ago. I have seen several trips now and am tickled to have discovered this site. I’m learning a good bit too. Grew up just under 2 hours from Pittsburg and never learned it’s importance in the L& C expedition.Cool. Never too old to learn.
Fascinating and very interersting. I never saw such excellent views of Pittsburgh. I'm looking forward to tracing the whole trip to the Pacific Ocean. Thanks Robert, for your outstanding narration along the way.
Been a sub for a long time. Enjoyed seeing you visit my town. Most importantly... THANK YOU for saying the name of the Monongahela River correctly. Most outsiders say it wrong.
My employer supplied a lot of the lock equipment for the Monongahela . So glad I had a small part of making the gates and machinery. Now I feel I have a lasting legacy .
I love this history tour-I grew up in Montana and Lewis and Clark was huge part of our history in school and of course in the state -Look forward to much more of these wonderful videos 😀🚌🇺🇸
Thanks for including the sidebar stops along the way, they are a nice little bonus. Glad to be moving along with the Lewis and Clark locations, what a moment to stand there where the exploration to the west all began. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the rest of the journey.. 😉
Great history lesson in this video! I really enjoyed the museum and that isn't something I am normally interested in. Definitely a trip that we will possibly consider in the future.
Another TH-camr I follow took an Oregon Trail trip this summer. There are all kinds of classic road trips out there. I'm looking forward to Robert's series.
Lived in Uniontown my entire life, not much to do but I would recommend checking out Ohio Pyle State Park and check out The National Pike, where there are wagons and people on horses and a huge festival all along RT 40 , it is pretty cool. And a great camping ground is Bennergers camp ground, it's a pretty nice place and in Chalk Hill not sure if they are still open but on Fayette Springs Rd there is a winery and gift shop and the wine is fantastic, they did have a second store right along RT 40, I just can't remember where, since we moved from there back in 2016 to Palm Bay Florida, but Pittsburgh is pretty cool.
Hello Traveling Robert🎸🎸😄😄🍔🍔, this was an awesome video. I have been to Pittsburgh. The Duquesne Incline was the highlight...and we drive from Pittsburgh all the way to Astoria, OR by way of the Columbia River Gorge. I'm looking forward to seeing the Ohio River Byway. OUTSTANDING VIDEO ROBERT👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
Grâce à vos vidéos J ai visité des merveilleuses régions avec leurs histoires et la magnifique grandioses nature . Merci de tout coeur pour le travail que vous fêtes...Ce n est pas facil .je regarde sur une grande télé qui me permet de voir beaucoup de détails... Mochas gracias hombre libre por todo e de ser R.Morales
Robert - Come again - go see the following things : Mount Washington + Incline + Steelers game, September Rib Fest (usually first week of September), strip district on a Saturday morning, Fish Fries in March, Ohiopyle in June, Lightup Night in December (German shops in Market Square), Ligonier days in spring on a Saturday
And we're off! What grand adventures await on the Lewis & Clark trail? Even though we sort of know what's going to happen, watching this episode still gives me the sense of expectation that goes with the beginning of a big road trip. The National Turnpike looks like a nice drive through all those small towns. The yard sales are a regular thing on that route--they have a big event in the beginning of June. I had to laugh as you were driving out of the campground and noted the model number of your neighbor's rig, "a regular 2108DS, actually...that's the twin bed version" . Until next time, happy trails!
This video was so awesome. Ive lived in Pittsburgh almost my whole life, except when I lived in Florida for 10 years. I wish I would have known you were coming to Pittsburgh Robert. I would have loved to meet you.
Dear traveling Robert I loved your video today on the Lewis and Clark start of the trip you did a wonderful job with it and I like how you stopped at a campground and I loved how you went to the museum and showed not just the Lewis and Clark exhibit but you showed a little bit more than what you had to I loved it very much you did a wonderful job with it your friend John Chalker Waterbury Connecticut good job traveling Robert CC 🙏🙏👼👼🪔🪔❤️❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲
Congrats.... it is a fantastic and historical trip.I am learning a lot with your travel. As always it is an interesting video, go ahead and see you on the road. Love MOM...>>>
I'm surprised that no one from this area had told you what all the yard sales were for along the national road. Every year they have a Pikes Day festival to celebrate the national road. It usually happens in May.
We have watched you for years.thanks you do it rite.do you know hand sanitizer is the best bug lotion and spray for outdoors.thin it out with rub,alcohol,spray bottle.
Your fixation on IPAs makes me laugh. Like you, I am also quite the hophead. IPAs are the only beer I like. By the way, loved this episode. I’ve never been to Pittsburgh, but now it’s on my list.
Pittsburgh is incredibly underrated. I will be going again in November to see my beloved Steelers. I love the culture, history, food and people.
The National Pike Festival was taking place that weekend on Route 40 when you passed through Brownsville, Centerville and Senery Hill, PA. It is a three day festival that takes place the third weekend of May every year that celebrates the Nation Road and it's historical significance.

Passing through where I grew up. Uniontown PA and then Wheeling WV. I've been to Pittsburgh many times from childhood to recent.
I grew up in W Pa, about 30 miles south of Pgh, right off I 70. My dad loved driving 40 on our way to the beach in the summer but vetoed it most of the time. Took too much time.Great to see the scenery again
This trip is on my bucket list. Thanks for taking us along on your journey!
The Heinz History Center is a treasure!!!!
My Dad was born in Pittsburgh. Nice to see the city he was born and lived at
Growing up in Maryland we are very aware of the National Road. It's much older than route 66 but had its own roadside attractions most of which are long gone.
Route 40 the National Pike has Pike days every Memorial day weekend. I'm from Pittsburgh
So many great things to see
As always, another fascinating video, Robert! Thank you, and see you on the road!

Goooooood morning & thank you once again for taking us along w/ you on this fascinating, historic journey! Cheers ✌ 💘 🏕 🍺
I liked the other videos from this trip, but this is the part where I’m looking forward to the entire trip! Can’t wait!
I have just started reading Undaunted Courage and will use your series as a guide to their adventures in the modern age!
At 28:18 Washington having come forward in time to 1954 as you said, didn't quite come far enough in time for the internet and had to make due with radio and operator-assisted phone calls. 😁
Nice to see you at Fort Necessity, enjoyed this episode in our back yard.
Loved going through the museum. My best friend lives in Pennsylvania. Such a beautiful state. Happy travels, Robert.

That's a Mormon temple I believe.
watching here in Phils....beautiful sharing different places.
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
This episode is the full meal deal here! Now I'm satisfied for the day with it all and the groovy music!!!
So happy I found your channel. And thank you for the Pittsburgh video. You’ve done my city proud. 🖤💛. The history center is my favorite place.
Congratulations on finding the starting point!

Goooooood morning!
Awesome Mr. Robert. What an excellent start to your journey.
Pittsburgh has come along way since the 90's.
I really enjoyed today’s video. I am going to visit that museum next spring. You always find the good stuff to see and do. Thanks Robert!

You drove through my hometown of Frederick MD to my new hometown Pittsburgh.
Fascinating and very interersting. I never saw such excellent views of Pittsburgh. I'm looking forward to tracing the whole trip to the Pacific Ocean. Thanks Robert, for your outstanding narration along the way.
I love drive time videos.

Thankyou for the video Robert
Hello from Irwin, Pennsylvania. Always enjoy your videos!
That museum looks like a lot of fun. Putting it on the list!
What a fantastic History Museum. I want to go. Kudo's to Pittsburg.
It's really beautiful,thanks for sharing it
Excellent episode Robert 👍👌

I live in the Lewis-Clark Valley and I’m super excited about this season 😄😁😁 let me know when you get here! 🤣
Well executed detail tour of battle field and Pittsburgh. Loved the museum. Thanks Robert 😊
I love it when you travel around areas I actually recognize, thanks for the tour 🙋♀️🙋♀️
This is a god damn History Lesson (period) 🤠👉
Fun to watch your travels. Thanks
I really enjoyed exploring fort necessity when I was there last year for a video! It's awesome to see through your lens
Robert extremely excellent illustrative material many thanks.DG
A National Road trip sounds good, but I think the Lincoln Highway from NYC to San Francisco would be even better!
Another TH-camr I follow took an Oregon Trail trip this summer. There are all kinds of classic road trips out there. I'm looking forward to Robert's series.
Kent, The more I travel the more I want too . Just go brother just go !
I like watching your videos a positive distraction from the news lol
I really like your history presentations on this vlog.
Steelers 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤
My state but not my area. Sorry you will miss the Hershey show. That's my area. Thanks for the ride with your RV!

Very nice video, wish you had spent more time in the museum, it was really nice and Pittsburg does look like a great city.
Buenas tardes!! Gracias por compartir tan hermosos lugares. 👍
My second viewing. Giving you another thumbs up 👍🏼
Love my city ❤
Hello Traveling Robert🎸🎸😄😄🍔🍔, this was an awesome video. I have been to Pittsburgh. The Duquesne Incline was the highlight...and we drive from Pittsburgh all the way to Astoria, OR by way of the Columbia River Gorge. I'm looking forward to seeing the Ohio River Byway. OUTSTANDING VIDEO ROBERT👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
Live an hour away crazy I was just on 68 we shop in Hagerstown Md and Frederick MD and Cumberland Md often.
Robert, I'm so excited to travel along with you on this series following Lewis and Clark! What a great adventure! 👍

I love how this starts: Robert is doing his monologue, and then is literally like, “Squirrel!!” 🤣🤣
Another fantastic episode. Love the history lesson.

This will be a fun journey to follow. You are off to a good start!
Traveling through my neck of the woods, I live 14 miles south of Rte.40 in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania.
This video was so awesome. Ive lived in Pittsburgh almost my whole life, except when I lived in Florida for 10 years. I wish I would have known you were coming to Pittsburgh Robert. I would have loved to meet you.
Wish I knew you were coming through steubenville. I would have loved to bought you a coffee.
I think you probably hit the annual US RT 40 yard sale weekend.
When in WV- don’t rely on GPS, always have your atlas or state map with you!
"It's own religion called 'The Steelers'." I giggled too much at that.
Been down route 68, route 40, route 51 many times my family from Brownsville…
20:15 Please DO NOT pass up the World's Largest TeaPot!! 😄
That's a strange route you took to get here haha, I would've just stayed at an inn if there weren't any campsites available closer than Tomlinson Run
If you make it back to Pittsburgh, Robert, check out the Carnegie Museum of Art & Natural History. I think you would enjoy both!
They built and launched their boat in Elizabeth pa up the mon river.

Hey Robert I went to Franciscan University of Steubenville I have been to Pittsburgh many times.
Congrats.... it is a fantastic and historical trip.I am learning a lot with your travel. As always it is an interesting video, go ahead and see you on the road. Love MOM...>>>

Good episode. I feel it is not only travel vlog-- seeing places, I am getting to know about US history.. Wishes from India..
We have watched you for years.thanks you do it rite.do you know hand sanitizer is the best bug lotion and spray for outdoors.thin it out with rub,alcohol,spray bottle.
It surprises me there is no monument at the launching site. There isn't even a movie about it. So important to history
Your fixation on IPAs makes me laugh. Like you, I am also quite the hophead. IPAs are the only beer I like. By the way, loved this episode. I’ve never been to Pittsburgh, but now it’s on my list.
have you checked out fort ligoneer, also harmony, pa
Okay Robert when I go back for an alum greeting whenever I do I’ll speak a side trip to the Haynes Museum you have convinced me
At 2:49 I need to know what is that white building????
Mormon temple
Oh ok thank you 🙏🏼 I’ve seen it in other videos of ours.
I live a quarter mile off of US 40 in Columbus!
