In this week's video we drive through the great state of Indiana.
In the morning, we leave our campsite at the Louisville Metro KOA and begin driving north. The idea is to reach Elkhart, the RV Capital of the World by sundown.
As part of our journey we go through the Indiana capital, the great city of Indianapolis. Although we don't get to explore much, we do drive through downtown, see the Capitol building, which in Indiana is called the Statehouse, and the also famous Soldiers and Sailors Monument which is an obelisk in a very centric traffic circle, which honors the veterans of the Civil War. As we leave the city we also see the Scottish Right Cathedral, one of the largest masonic buildings in the world. Did I mention it belongs to the Freemasons?
As we continue north we also drive through Kokomo. Remember the Beach Boy's song? "In the Florida Keys there's a place called Kokomo". Well it turns out the real Kokomo is here in Central Indiana, and it doesn't display any of the tropical innuendo depicted in the 1980's hit song. There are a bunch of automotive plants, which is surprising because I was under the impression we didn't manufacture anything anymore.
We continue and eventually reach Elkhart. The reason we are here, besides it being a pretty town, is because on the next day we pan to visit the RV/MH Hall of Fame. It is an RV museum, and in their collection the have some of the first houses on wheels, going back to the beginnings of the automobile invention.

Oh, you missed beautiful gary, the drive by shootings are so lovely this time of the year.
hifijohn it’s nothing compared to Chicago’s south side. Englewood is a war zone.
So sad he didn't drive through Delaware County the meth labs are a great sight
Oh! ANNA ( Aint No Ni**ga Allowed, acronym tajen by the town according to locals) has its fare share of attraction for sightseeing activies. Its quite a wholesome sight seeing those whites forcing the blacks to stay out of the street after sundown. It is s historical practice and a very quant sight. Brings back all the memories of the past.
@@zodinthara7925 WTH are you talking about idiot?
You have a wonderful life Robert! Thank you for sharing theese precious moments! 😎
When I moved back home to Texas, I never expected to miss Indiana so much. Particularly Huntington where I lived.
Can't wait to go back
My home state I love Indiana!!!
I liked Indiana too... except for some of the roads. I would love to spend more time there
Traveling Robert agree
Everything I get into Indiana, I literally feel like I traveled back in time.
You hit all the great Indianapolis spots! Glad you liked Scottish Rite cathedral, one of my favorite buildings to photograph and visit. Monument Circle is, for some reason, one of my favorite haunts even if parking is a pain. I agree that you should have stayed longer to discover what most people overlook in the 'fly over state'.
Nice to see someone salute Indianapolis. I'm a Hoosier by birth and you brought back a lot of memories. Dennis
Thanks! I'm kind of sad I had to rush through the state, but I plan to go back some time with more time.
Great tour of my home State and City, Indianapolis.
Thanks! Can't wait to go back
Born and raised here! I live in Indianapolis.
This is the only guy that I’ve seen get happy about White Castle
I loved seeing my city !!
+Peyton Faith Indianapolis?
7:34
I can see the building I work in (dark glass building on the right) WHOOP! WHOOP!
Indianapolis really is a great city, highly underrated.
my home state !! Indianapolis is such a cool place.
My
Home state.
Cómo siempre y ya nos tiene acostumbrados. ...simplemente espectacular
thanks for taking us through Indiana, no one else has, lol
+SKPjoe Coursegold Hahaha. I had to be first at something right?
I'm finding myself singing your song..... :)
I'm riding... I do it too. :)
We were driving back from Savannah GA and I was singing Roberts song.. My wife said what song is that? I answered its by "Traveling Robert" from TH-cam.. Come-on, join in!!
+Barb Cieri Haha. That's great. Thank you!
I have actually had his song stuck in my head while at work. LOL.
I sing it all the time! It's at all the music outlets online. Great little tune.
Ah man you went right past the circus capitol of the world. Bumpy roads but a nice place to raise a family. Thanks for coming😊
I was going to watch just to see if he went through Peru but after reading your comment I didn’t.
That would be Baraboo WI.
too bad you didn't pass through Fort Wayne, it's a pretty nice city
Next time perhaps. Unfortunately can't see everything when time is limited. I wanted to explore Indianapolis more too.
ReviewsTechNow it is nice.
I grew in the Fort Wayne community, New Haven from age 11.
AroundIndiana I'm not from Indiana but can I just say that overall...
I respect the state and its kind, hardworking people and your state does have so much to offer including affordable cost of living, lovely sceneries, and so much healthy recreational activity for the family :)
I want you to know we care about our Midwest brothers and sisters, you guys rock! 👍 😁 Especially Indiana!
Love from Connecticut which you can consider an ally to the state of Indiana and it's awesome people :)
My hometown
my co-worker and I always sing along with the rv song! All your music is great and really goes well with the videos.
+LINDA H That's great. Thank you!
Robert, being from Indy originally(now living in Crystal River) I think your Indiana video was really good! Downtown there is really nice, it's been a lot of years but there is a museum in the basement of the monument on the circle. Also the Scottish Rite Cathedral is incredibly beautiful inside, if your ever there again, call ahead and see if you can get a tour. Thanks for your hard work on sharing the vids with us, you've got a great channel, hopefully we'll meet up one day!! W
+Walt G Yes. We crossed the state way too fast. Can't wait to go back with more time. I'm glad you like the channel. Thank you, and see you on the road.
And the construction on I-65 is still going two years later
Oh no
Traveling Robert what’s the best travel time from Indianapolis to crown point in. Less traffic for me lol
And the construction on I-65 is still going on 4 yrs later
Love that music!!!
Thank you! I grew up in Indiana, it was good to see my home. Bumpy roads and all. :) North of Indy is all flat - it's farm land, but south of Indy is beautiful, I hope you got to see it.
I'm from Franklin
Susan Schultz I'm from bluffton, near fort wayne
Susan Schultz I'm in Indiana
Indeed the trip between Indy and Fort Wayne is a very boring one, but not a long drive really. However I have had 2 rims repaired over the past year! Indiana roads are not exactly smooth - but we do have weather extremes to blame.
Aurora just outside of Cincinnati
Love watching your videos. Indianapolis was my home, now living in Fort Myers. Thanks for sharing!
+jims adventures Thank you! I'd love to go back and explore more.
3 years later 65 is still under construction
Henryville is a wonderful little town. Lived there for years and loved it. Miss my family back there.
Great video, yes I65 is a mess around Louisville & Indy, seems like everyplace is messed up. Thanks my friend, Perfect Travel video as always.
+icollectstuffdude I-90 west was pretty miserable too. Maybe I'll have some of that in the Hall of Fame video.
I-65 is in the middle of a major project to widen the highway.
@@kdrapertrucker thank you!
You should hit brown county, Indiana in the fall when the leaves start to change you'll never want to leave
I'm thinking of going s little further east this year, but you never know. I'll write myself a note.
Indiana, corn & Indy cars, Flat mostly. Southern Indiana is beautiful. Your music is so catchy.
+Vintage Radio Thank you!
Madison, Indiana
Very much enjoyed your trip thru IN, and congratulate you upon your excellent taste by stopping at WHITE CASTLE! Am looking forward to your other videos; you sure do travel A LOT!
"What's up with all this traffic" Careful, you're sounding like a native Hoosier there :)
Great and beautiful america, from pakistan
MKS Petit As an American, thank you for saying that. We appreciate it.
Hi,hope you’re doing well. When you mentioned the word Elkhart my eyes just automatically filled up with water. I use to live in Elkhart for three years. Hadn’t been for the cold weather think I’d still be there. 🌹🌹🌹
Born and raised in Munster Indiana. Glad to see some parts of the middle and South of the state
Cool. I want to go back with more time
2/4 Had a few friends and an ex-husband from Munster.
Indy is where it's at. Lived here all my life, will always be my home
I need to go back and explore some
yay Indiana Elkhart right next to south bend
My home state! ❤️ From Carmel, Indiana (a City attached to Indianapolis) but lives in Terre Haute.
Cool, nice people
Ah good old Indiana, Lived in New Albany, across from Louisville & attended the Indy 500 many times, I'd love to get you tickets. You would love it. Great video as always. Go Robert!!
+Modern & Postwar Model Trains Hey thank you so much. I would love to go back soon. So many things we didn't get to see.
Great video Robert! I love my home state! Safe travels!!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing..... the Freemasons architectural wonders of the US!
Born in Indianapolis and raised in southern Indiana. Jackson n Clark county. Beautiful Crothersville is my hometown but I've lived all over southern Indiana. It really is a good place to raise a family as long as you can stay out of trouble. I had to relocate myself because I knew people everywhere n they were not people I need to be around. Anyway, so beautiful in that part of the country, sure beats the brown, dry, and city atmosphere of Nevada. Just my opinion but I miss it. Great country side for fishing and hunting and farming and great people as well. There's good and bad people everywhere i believe. I'll always be a Hoosier at heart.
I've been thru all of the places you drove. Clarksville, downtown Indy, Kokomo...even Elkhart. Interesting to watch.
It's really Nice and informative video.You can also visit a video of friendly Baymont by Wyndham Evansville North/Haubstadt HOTEL IN Haubstadt, Indiana th-cam.com/video/m6VJQ5AtOVY/w-d-xo.html
Although you were in Indiana , you were on the Interstates which we all know that you can't take in the beauty of the states traveling the interstate . There is much beauty in our state of Indiana .
I have explore more of it for sure
My home state. I'm from Carmel Indiana. When you stopped at White Castle I live about 15 minutes north of there up Michigan road which was that big road outside the White Castle. Cool video.
Amazing video. Wish you all the best. didn't expect this. Hello from Romania.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for explaining all that
Dear sir, your vídeo is simply spectacular, well edited and your english very easy to understand! keep going....or driving!
+jrsdv Thank you!
thanks a million Robert ,always looking forward for your informative trips.
+Stephen Higgins Thanks. Glad you liked it.
South Western Indiana and historic Vincennes are awesome. Great video and narration. I really enjoyed it.
Love indiana
Thanks for the Beautiful tour of my home state Indian. Thanks to you, I saw places I've never visited. Great video!! Safe travels. (;
Hello,I am from Russia.I like your video 👍👍👍
You have it right, buddy, drive through Indiana. Just DRIVE THROUGH! Do. Not. Stop.
We're really enjoying your videos. You're research of an area you travel through adds so much. That power plant you passed on your way into downtown Indianapolis, my dad worked there for over 25 years. Most people that live here don't know what that plant does and there you are explaining it in your video, well done! If you ever back in town stop by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. By the way, what's your process of preparing for your trips, all that research?
Thank you for taking me across indianapolis. I enjoyed the ride very much.
You're very welcome
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks for the upload! I have family from Monticello, Indiana and remember spending summers up there as a kid.
Great footage,stand for all the hard work,hopefully there is more to come.
+Bigdog Bulldog Thanks. Much more to come.
Yet another very enjoyable video, Robert. We lived in Hoosierland for many many years, but are now far away. Glad you enjoyed beautiful Indianapolis. So much to see and do. Oh, and yes, of course, we love your addicting theme music and cheerful attitude. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
+gmaneis Thank you. So glad you enjoyed. We loved Indianapolis...well what we were able to see.
Love watching your videos. Elkhart my hometown been to all these place a few times.
this is awesome, I hope you got to go south to brown county:)
This was great. I used to live in Elkhart so I was super excited by the memories it brought back. My father worked at Starcraft back in the 1970's. During the summer we used one of the demo models to do a big summer vacation. The biggest ones being Yellowstone (twice) and Grand Canyon (with lots of stops in between). For all of those trips we left from Elkhart. We moved away in 1980 and so our RV trips stopped. I do a fair bit of traveling now but haven't gone RV yet. Love your videos!
Thanks for the peak at Indiana. Glad you followed your "Gut"... Spidey Senses though... about parking in too 'out of the way' places. Always better safe than sorry. Stay Safe
looking forward to the next vid,,,will be interesting to see how motorhomes and trailers have changed
+Billyt Thank you. That place is a must see for any Rver.... the core systems haven't changed much since the 70s...but the museum goes back to the early house cars. Very interesting.
you drove through the town I live in. Franklin
+Killer Memestar Cool. Didn't have time to linger anywhere. Next time
Killer Memestar Fellow Franklinder, how is?
Brilliant Beautiful place
Muchos saludos y abrazos para usted y familia
"Not the smoothest of roads" pretty much describes the entire state. Try going to I-69 in Madison County, where you'll see "NEXT LEVEL ROADS" from the Indiana DOT alongside "Rough pavement" signs.
+Indy Cyclist Who’s the head of transportation there?
@@willmcguinness2392 Budget is done by the supermajority Republican legislator and DOT falls under Governor Holcomb.
Indiana is my home state! I also saw you drove through some very familiar towns and sites that I am very familiar with including Indianapolis, Kokomo, and of course one of my favorite places Grissom Air Force Base and Museum outside of Peru, Indiana!
I truly enjoy your videos and my daughter and I love your theme song it's perfect for your vlogs.
+Ecila007 Thank you!
Hay Robert, Well done.. you really did cover a lot of ground in a short period of time. You also made a good decision about not staying where your not comfortable. I have left Wal-Mart's and truck stop when I didn't feel comfortable. BTW, Music City is one of your best pieces besides my RV.. I love it every time you put it in..
love your riding videos! thanks Robert!
+LaboJoe Thank you!
So many familiar places. That darn entrance ramp coming out of Kokomo onto 31...had my left front tire fly off going on that once....terrifying experience. There are so many nice state park campgrounds in the state, its a shame you missed them.
I live in Fort Wayne but grew up in Tarpon Springs Florida. Ready to move back down there! 🌴
another great video
I have been following you for months, probably 100 videos. Lately, there seems to be too much road and less stuff. can we go back, we all know what driving looks like. Thanks Keep em coming !
Everyone ends up stopping at that gas station / truckstop in Henryville. I end up there all the time. It's similar to that stop in Lewisburg West Virginia, you can't avoid it traveling.
Great Video Robert , cant wait to see your view of Chicago
+MICHELLE DALTON Thanks! We enjoyed Chicago quite a bit. I look forward to finishing that one.
HOME!
Should’ve went through on I-70 and stopped at New Castle. Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame and the largest high school Fieldhouse in the world
Indianapolis is pretty and the streets are narrow!
Great video Robert, I look forward to seeing the museum!
+Ken Jencks Thanks. Very cool museum.
next time your in IN you shuld visit cabose lake campground in remengton IN right off of 65 and 24. we were seasionol campers and loved it the staff are like family and every one is nice its clean and awsome
thanks,,jimmy
Very cool
You miss all the scenic parts of indiana sticking to the interstate. There's actually a lot of hills and woods further west in Southern Indiana.
My hometown Indiana
:-)
INDIANAPOLIS, ciudad agradable, buen video. Great!!!!!
Gracias. Me gustó mucho.
Love this driving video ! Unfortunately I can't visit the US this year, so I really enjoy watching your great roadtrip videos !
+Thomaslob Thanks!
I do a lot of work in Indy.. I did some tuckpointing on the Scottish Rite Cathedral
🤣🤣🤣my home state!
you should check out Fort Wayne. second biggest city after Indy. our downtown has grown a lot its pretty cool
Another Great Video Thanks Robert :)
+Mr. Bass Thank you Mr. Bass
Ah. Wish you had skipped 65 and come over through French Lick and West Baden...up 37 North to Bloomington and then to Indy. Lots more beautiful than 65 and less of those semis!!!!
Just joined, nice video...I'm from Kokomo, IN. nice to see the old town in your video...safe travels. From fellow RVer
+Robert Causey Hey thanks!
Robert, I love your video and your theme song. "I'm riding, riding with my RV..." I subscribed to your channel. I look forward to your next video
Thank you David
I'm from Clinton,Indiana,please try to visit it.
Really enjoyed watching this video sir!
Thank you!
You're awesome Robert. You missed the Dunes though my friend. You were almost there.
+Bradley Hamrick I know. Rush rush. We will next time... We went mainly to see Chicago from across the lake.
I would like to say a big thank you for all that you do to make this channel so pleasant to come back to again and again. You must spend hours editing these together from what two different cameras? You are doing a fine job my friend. And Indiana is a great place to live. I've been here now for a total of twenty-four years. The first time I was here I stayed for ten years and only after four years away came back and plan to spend my elder years here.
Again thank you for all your hard work.
+Jerry Densmore Thank you so much. I have two main cameras I use, and then my phone. I'm going to time myself next video see exactly how long it takes but I estimate about and hour per minute of final product. I enjoy doing it very much.
TravelingRobert
It shows you must enjoy doing this. It's not like you make any great deal of money from it so the Joy is a great reason to do it. Thanks Robert.
