My mother and I went to the Stuhr museum in the fall many years ago. Saw Henry Fonda's boyhood home and that fantastic museum. They were getting ready for their Fall Harvest festival and we were a day early for that. The smell of baked apple pies in some of the old buildings was delicious. Thanks for bringing back memories of trips with my late beautiful mom.♥️
Great video. There is so much more history to see in Sioux City. Next time you come through, I would be happy to give you a proper tour! For those watching, be sure to visit the complex next door east to the riverboat museum. It is a fabulous collection of, as well as our downtown museum and art centers, all within a few blocks of downtown. Floyd’s gravesite is near the south end of town, overlooking the city and the river. It’s a remarkable place at sunset.
Russ this was just what the doctor ordered! Tired of all the stress from the world 🌍 🌎 man’s inhumanity to man, politics, pettiness of people on Facebook…what a welcome relief to just take a ride with you down memory lanes of Lewis & Clark, John Deere and just the sweet comfort of hittin da road 🚐Thanks! Blessings to you as always ❤
Hi Sir: I am a subscriber and find comfort, contentment and an amount of peace in watching your travels through "small towns USA'. I pray that you don't think I am being to forward to make the following sugestion: Please post in your "more" section any signage that: is too light for you/us to read, is too long for you to read out loud, too numerous for you to read, etc. etc. This would help me learn more and have a fuller armchair travel experience, and it may help someone else. Thank you for reading this suggestion and giving it your kind consideration. Now I got to get back to watching the show.
I remember when l was a little girl and the boat was still in the water. I was around seven and fixing to be sixty one. My grandfather helped build the Floyd monument and he put a silver dollar somewhere in in the cement
Thanks, Russ. My husband lived here for a while, but we were both born in South Dakota. Makes me teary eyed because we don't live in that area anymore. Appreciate the video, Russ !!❤
Wow, what a fantastic overview of Siouxland. You made me proud of being from here. I'm originally from Wayne, NE and have lived in South Sioux City for a long time. You are blessed with your travel talents and we viewers are also blessed.
Great video thanks for the history of USA and your enthusiasm to show these museums ' obvious you enjoy visiting these scenic places. Thanks again from England 🇬🇧 UK
Born in that area of the country, I have so many childhood memories of the area, I have family in those parts. I have alot of repsect for the farmers growing all our food. I would never ever though want to go back and live there. Lifestyle and culture is not for me. And the winters are BRUTAL. The area is a very boring place to live. I remember as a kid I could not wait to get out, and when we moved to a small city 1000+ miles away, it was refreshing!
Awesome video, love it! Thanks, Russ! Too cool for school! Greetings from central Florida! John Deere is near & dear to my heart. I grew up in the Quad Cities (Illinois/Iowa).
Neat video i wanted to share that the Stuhr museum building was designed by the architect Edward Durell Stone. He designed alot of government buildings from the day.
Hi Russ. Great tour video as usual. About your comment on why no one was smiling at the candy kitchen, I have always heard that in days gone by & early photography that people were encouraged to have "stern" look. Also in the second Bldg. that you went into I was intrigued by the old-timey bicycle as I have always been. It appears to me that riding one of those took some skill. Almost like riding a uni-cycle. Thank you again for the tour.
I really do like when you show the places where you stay at night. The RV Park at Columbus was very nice and reminded me of the Park you stayed at in Chama, NM. It makes the whole video more real to me.
I was watching your show today pretty good. I think but I had to take 2 Bob Wills to get rid of a headache. But then about an hour later after drinking too much water i had to take another Bob Wills. It just keeps coming on and on. By the time i go to bed tonight I think I will be BOB'D out.
1:20:20. Corn in the midwest is usually harvested much later like October after it has died and dried out. Corn has to be dried before it can be stored so the later the farmer can wait, the less they have to pay to dry it
THAT WAS A GREAT VIDEO; I grew up in a small town (Hawarden, IA) brought back a ton of memories for me, I drove those same roads. Ever think that you are like Lewis & Clark sometimes? We now live near Dodge City, KS so we only get back 1 or 2 times a year. As a thank you for this video here are a couple of my old stomping ground places I think you would enjoy. Sioux Falls, SD (check out the falls & riverwalk); Okoboji, IA (check out the Iowa Great Lakes- where my wife is from), & where we will be moving to in the next few years Branson, MO (Retirement play ground). Thank again for the ride.
You can tell you're not from the Midwest,lol, you were excited about the JD dealership. I'd probably be excited to see a big cactus in Arizona though..
Hey Russ I noticed most of the small towns you travel thru are always so clean and well maintained. Very enjoyable to ride along and enjoy the views and history. Thanks.
The next time you travel across Nebraska you need to take the southern highway. (US 6). It will take you directly through the two biggest cities of Lincoln and Omaha but it is well worth seeing the small towns south of I-80. Minden, NE has a great museum town that you can spend a couple of days exploring.
Yes, Casey’s gas station is a big deal in the Midwest. They are based in Iowa and have a major presence in Nebraska, eastern South Dakota and moving into the Chicagoland market in a big way. They are very clean stores and their food is excellent.
Any time you can avoid I-80 anywhere is a great stress reducer. Enjoy the towns and local eateries across the heartland. We are a pretty friendly bunch.
Sir: Another comment from me on this show: At time position 27:49 you stated that the group of farm workers was a whole family working together, I say it is a group of people working in a forced labor situation or at the very least, a sharecropping situation. Please corrected me if I have the wrong interpretation of the situation. Thank you for taking your time to read this.
Next time you’re in the Midwest and see a Casey’s, stop in for a slice of their pizza. So yummy. I hear the breakfast pizza is amazing but I’m never up that early. LOL. But I know you are. 😊
Lifelong (39 years) Sioux City resident here! It’s not all it’s cooked up to be. It’s quite boring compared to other big cities. I’m ready to move permanently to the more bustling & lively city of Los Angeles (plus, it’s a bit warmer in LA & I’m not a fan of cold weather).
While I am happy you visited the River Museum here in Sioux City, I am disappointed that you did not stop at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, which you drove right past. Stop by next time you are in town!
Love your adventures off of the main highways but I’m laughing because my husband gets very frustrated every time you don’t pronounce the “L” when you say railroad 😂. Instead you say rayroad, oh and you say prally instead of probably 😂, that gets him every time as well, but you do you, we still love ya!
On your trip through Washington State you went through Priest River Idaho and we live a block from the mural you recorded between Sandpoint and Newport, and on the video Michigan's west coast lighthouses you came within a mile of South Haven, my place of birth! Really awesome videos!
a full show about your camper technology and set up and what you keep in your camper toilet, stove refridgerator power system for electricity battery backup. my personalopinion but i know you setup your camera for a reason. would a location just below the wind shield have a more acurate perspective? rooftop view looks strange.
llewis and clark failed because they did not continue north to the tip of lake superior in duluth minnesota wher they would find the major fur and wood trading with canada and native americans. the great lakes are a major route to the atlantic and europe and asia,
GOD BLESS , UNITED STATES AMERICA , RUSS , RVerTV FANS. WE LOVE RVerTV - BEST TV ON TH-cam. RUSS TOO COOL 4 SCHOOL. Thank you Russ.🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

So glad you stopped at the Sergeant Floyd Memorial. the Lewis and Clark expedition was such an amazing event and makes me proud to be an American
Hi Russ... Thanks for visiting my hometown. Was born and raised in Sioux City.
Love Your traveling videos. Keep up the great work you are doing!

Sioux City and South Sioux City have so many memories. Enjoyed rolling along.
Love watching.

love that musuem, so much wonderful history.
I have been following you for a long time.
Your skills are improving every video.
A pleasure to watch.🇱🇷
Another great video. I'm looking forward to the trip this summer.
Casey's is a chain out of Ankeny, IA. Hwy 30 runs along the Union Pacific east-west main line.
❤ way too cool for school thank you for sharing❤
You are so welcome!
I was watching your show today pretty good. I think but I had to take 2 Bob Wills to get rid of a headache. But then about an hour later after drinking too much water i had to take another Bob Wills. It just keeps coming on and on. By the time i go to bed tonight I think I will be BOB'D out.

Hey Russ I noticed most of the small towns you travel thru are always so clean and well maintained. Very enjoyable to ride along and enjoy the views and history. Thanks.
This type of place is where your E bike would come in handy!!
Thanks Russ , your in my back yard. We could’ve had coffee in Fremont……..
Love this . Thanks for sharing you make it worth watching. Love your travels Russ. Be safe God Bless❤
The next time you travel across Nebraska you need to take the southern highway. (US 6).

I would love to visit that John Deer Museum
I’ll be crossing that bridge soon! Definitely a beautiful sight!
ANOTHER GREAT 👍 RIDE WITH RUSS 😊
Nice trip'n.

Love these 2 videos!
You drove right by my house. Im in Manchster between Waterloo and Dubuque.
when we go from montana to texas and back...we pass alot of small towns because we like to avoid the major highways :)
Any time you can avoid I-80 anywhere is a great stress reducer. Enjoy the towns and local eateries across the heartland. We are a pretty friendly bunch.

It’s in Oklahoma, too.
I use to live in Grand Island, very nice people there.
THANKS!
Hello, I love your video, I don't know if you know this or not but Johnny Carson was from Norfolk Nebraska.
We have Casey's in Kansas too. You have to eat one of their pizzas some time...mmmmm
Love their breakfast pizza
another great video !!!!!!
You done some videos of FLORIDA yet ?? Love your channel.
Lifelong (39 years) Sioux City resident here! It’s not all it’s cooked up to be. It’s quite boring compared to other big cities. I’m ready to move permanently to the more bustling & lively city of Los Angeles (plus, it’s a bit warmer in LA & I’m not a fan of cold weather).
An awful lot of us end up coming back.
1:10:00 raccoon’s are nocturnal and if they are out during the day, they could be sick or rabid. Best advise is to stay away.
While I am happy you visited the River Museum here in Sioux City, I am disappointed that you did not stop at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, which you drove right past. Stop by next time you are in town!
If your ever in the Quad Cities area, John Deere has a pavilion there that is open to the public
Love your adventures off of the main highways but I’m laughing because my husband gets very frustrated every time you don’t pronounce the “L” when you say railroad 😂. Instead you say rayroad, oh and you say prally instead of probably 😂, that gets him every time as well, but you do you, we still love ya!
Could I request a video from Iowa City to Galesburg, IL? Please post your review! Thank you very much!
🎉
❤❤
Casey's pizza is the best!!!
at 1:25:02 you drove right past one of the best local history museums in the state
On your trip through Washington State you went through Priest River Idaho and we live a block from the mural you recorded between Sandpoint and Newport, and on the video Michigan's west coast lighthouses you came within a mile of South Haven, my place of birth! Really awesome videos!
I think they fenced in the entire town to preserve it. I don’t think this is replicated at least not parts of it. I loved the one room school house.
a full show about your camper technology and set up and what you keep in your camper toilet, stove refridgerator power system for electricity battery backup. my personalopinion but i know you setup your camera for a reason. would a location just below the wind shield have a more acurate perspective? rooftop view looks strange.
Try to show more of the camp grounds you stay in.
Casey’s gas stations originated in Iowa. There is literally one in every small town in Iowa
Duncan Ne...that's where Dorothy Lynch salad dressing is made. 😊
Have you researched U.S. Route 12?
Casey's gas station started in Iowa and they have the best taco pizza
This was august last year?
Sioux city is a nice place but it gets so boring after some time 😂 wed always end up going to omaha or des moines
none of the houses look the same. everyone is different.
nebrasksa has the longest straightest highway in usa.
hoy 555
air boat swap boats are obnoxiously loud. jet boats and hover craft are much quieter.
llewis and clark failed because they did not continue north to the tip of lake superior in duluth minnesota wher they would find the major fur and wood trading with canada and native americans. the great lakes are a major route to the atlantic and europe and asia,
That was not their mission. Theirs was a military mission directly overseen by President Jefferson.
I would be willing to bet that a good many of those trains are hauling coal not just grain, just saying
🤣@ 31:20.
