Two 'Limericks' from Ireland for Camper and Nikki.
There once was a puppy lost in the sand.
When an angel came by and held out her hand.
He knew from the start,
That she gave him her heart.
And now he is living in his own dreamland.
There once was a Prius which went coast to coast.
Driven by a girl with a treasure to boast.
Not of silver or gold,
Or money to fold,
But the love of a dog, which is truer than most.
Great one. Perfect!
Camper hit the jackpot when he found Nikki , he is having a superb time on the road
I love Iowa 80! The friendliest truckstop out there. Bill Moon, the man responsible for Iowa 80, is a true hero to truckers. The Truck Museum is definitely worth seeing. Chester’s chicken @ the fuel aisle, always available in the refrigerated case, is one of my favorite snacks. Keep up the good work, Nikki.
I’ve been a truck driver since 1994. I drive local now, but spent a few years over the road. Always looked forward to stopping at Iowa 80. One time I stopped and got a haircut at the barber shop. Never visited the dentist office, though. Did enjoy the theater once, as well.
My family used to live just over the border, in a small town in Illinois, and my Dad loved coming to this truck stop. This was 1980's-2010's, before the remodel- it looked very different then it does now. There was (not sure if it's still there; I now live in Texas) a statement over one of the store exits before walking outside: "Smile, the open road is just ahead." My Dad passed away several years ago, and that quote is now on my Dad's memorial bench in our city park.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
What town did you live in? I'm also just outside the QCs.
Me too! I grew up in Milan, Illinois. I’ve never toured the I80 truckstop, only stopped for gas, on numerous occasions! Lol
🙏
❤️
Nicky, I just saw you at the pet store, I walked past and thought I know her?? Then it came to me! Oh that’s Nicky D!! You made my day!! Even if I didn’t stop to say hi, you were busy with one of the staff!! I won’t say where you where. ❣️
Holy moly, how cool! Hiiiiiiiiiii!!!❤️❤️❤️ also that pet store is AMAZING! Just spent my life savings pretty much hahahah
@@NikkiDelventhal How is it even possible there's a comment on this video that is 7 days old? This video was posted only 8 hours ago!
Right!! Good question??
@@NikkiDelventhal u are so beautiful and charming
Camper is the star of this video love how he gets along with everybody
He is such a beautiful, healthy and happy looking dog.
Truckers keep our country moving. Thanks for showing them some love. Stay safe out on the road.
East bound, I plan on hitting Sidney. Nebraska just before sunset. Spend an hour or so in Cabelas. And the next big stop is Iowa 80. Always seem to leave a bit of green at both places .
Omg, Iowa 80!
My Son moved to Iowa Five years ago from Ann Arbor Michigan to W. Des Moines! Now I go there a few times a year! So crazy watching you go from "da U.P." northern Michigan to Iowa!
You are so cute! Only Nikki can make the world's largest truck stop feel like Disney. Very interesting place in America. Thanks to all the truckers for transporting our goods, so essential! 🤠
Thanks for this video. I retired from trucking last year living here in ct haven’t been to Iowa 80 in a few years. During your video I actually saw my friends truck coming in the parking lot. That was cool
Thanks
What makes your videos truly enjoyable is....You! You just have a wonderful, fun, and very entertaining personality. Your adventures throughout Americana remind me of my favorite quote, which is to "Follow your dreams, and enjoy the trip", and that, Ms. Nikki Delventhal, is literally what you are doing! Sending great wishes to you and Camper for all of your travels.
No. She would not stay at one place. We never wanted that ;)
Every week I just keep thinking - never in Campers wildest dreams did he think he would be living this life!
I'm always impressed by how many places you can take Camper. Most places only allow support animals...
Yeah I can take my Dakota anywhere because I have a registered online as a registered
Service 🐕🦺
Service 🐕🦺 dog
@@RandysAdventurousFamilyRAFChan - Yeah, I had my register registered but then when they asked, I couldn't prove my register was registered...too many registrations.
When I read your title, I thought that Nikki had traded in her Prius for a Semi truck. LOL but its cool that she can stop by and hang with truckers and get along so well. It just goes to show you that Nikki is a people person and she can make friends with anyone from any walk of life.
I actually saw a semi hauling a massive RV, as the main vehicle. I could tell it was intentional because they had the semi painted to match the RV!
Wow what a great truck stop!! Camper looked like he had alot of fun too. Thanks for bringing us along ❤️❤️❤️
Your smile and your positive attitude is refreshing every time I see your videos. Thanks
Thank you.
As a over the road truck driver, 30 years. I appreciate what you said about being mindful of shower time.
Good old Iowa 80. Been there many times. They also have sister locations Joplin 44, Kenly 95 and Oak Grove 70.
Yeah that one is close to myhouse
Thanks to Nikki, Camper is living his best life!
I agree.He's lucky you found him.
Hello
Camper has to be the luckiest 🐕 in the world! You are so good to him Nikki, and he's such a good, sweet boy 🥰 What doggy wouldn't love to travel and vacation with his momma full-time?? ☺️ Luv ya Camper!! 💓
Wow this place is amazing. Cant believe a shower is 15 bucks. You should train camper to "speak" or bark on comand 4 when people are hanging around ur car.its amazing what a bark can do to scare someone. Camper is so smart he'd learn it in 5 mins. Great video u 2. 💏 loved it.
He does bark at things that go bump. K
Girl…Your videos are a joy and fun to watch, because of your animated, bubbly personality! Camper is a little sweetie, who doesn’t mind all of the wondrous adventures he’s a part of. I never see you grumpy, or Oh darn, shucks, this isn’t working or that isn’t right. You’re just very uplifting, and great at editing. Keep traveling, hugs to Camper!
Camper is a true star! It fun to watch how much he loves you and enjoys sharing your road trip. Honestly your editing and story telling makes each video a real gem! Thank You!
In seriously want to visit Michigan now. We have family there but I had no idea there was so much fun stuff to do there. Thanks for the videos 😊
I used to drive to that truckstop on the way to University of Iowa. There were no bathroom stops for a long time in western Illinois. Being a Hawkeye, mom's from Northeast Iowa, there are some beautiful places in Eastern Iowa. Iowa City is a great town, the Upper Iowa River is a wonderful river to kayak or canoe. Moonshine used to be run through the natural tunnel and cave systems near the Mississippi. Buen Camino!
melbourne australia here, i love both yours and campers adventures :) perhaps put a go pro on his collar sometime so we can see from his point of view ? :)
That's a good idea.
After shoulder surfing, while I watched your videos (plus the cost of hotels) my daughter and her friend did a 4-day car camping trip in New England before heading back to school. I built them a platform bed for our 2013 Honda CRV. She is zonked out in her room after just getting back. Eager to hear stories from the road. Thanks for the series and the tips that I was able to pass along to her.
A long water melon! Wife and I were discussing that we don't see long ones anymore. I guess they have them in Michigan. Yay!
Just stoped there the other day on our way to SD! We slept at the Cracker Barrel a few miles down the road and I woke up and my wife surprised me with telling me about the I80 truck stop! I missed the chiropractor too and really needed it! We were in a little bit of a rush so we skipped the trucker museum but wish we had gone in. I loved how they sold ninja swords too! Surprisingly that was the first truck stop that we found that actually sold road atlases! Had been looking for one along I90 and i80 from NY to there!
@ 3:35, I love your confidence to go put the camera down in the parking spot before pulling in, despite parking being super competitive 😄 💪🏾
2 words, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!
I loved the wolf t shirts, wolves are just amazing. This truck stop has so much I can't even think how much money you can spend in one day there.
Thank you so much for sharing this awsome experience with us, enjoy the rest of your trip and you and camper stay safe.🐶🥰 you picked the exact same wolf shirt I would've bought, that was the second shirt you looked at.🐺🐺🐺
I drove over- the- road for a while. Every time I was anywhere near Iowa 80 truck stop I could not afford the time to stop there. Thanks so much for the tour.
Hello Nikki and Camper, and thank you for your latest video!! I’m Steve from Nebraska, and I am a truck driver by trade, and Iowa 80 is ultra cool! In fact; I am HERE as I’m typing you this message!! I stop here frequently as it is along one of my regular routes!! Always plenty of parking, and the annual truckers’ jamboree is ALWAYS fun to attend!! I like watching ALL of your videos as you and Camper seem to have one exhilarating and interesting adventure after another, and you graciously take us along to experience them with you!! We sincerely appreciate and love you and Camper as well - GOD bless..😍🥰😄😁😎❤️❤️
Big hugs! Thank you, Steve!!!!
I absolutely LOVE that Camper was able to go through every area with you!!! More places need to allow dogs!!
From Honduras ❤️ love Camper ❤️🥳🙏 and your program ❤️
I drove from Illinois to Iowa to visit my grandma every year. This truck stop is a must and the highlight of the drive. The restaurant is so good!
Awesome, thanks for sharing Blessing to you and Camper
Hello how are you doing?
I like going there and spending time , it's oasis from an unwelcoming world
The BEST thing about the Largest Truck Stop, it is pet-friendly everywhere 👍👍👍
According to their website, pets are not allowed in the buildings except for licensed service animals. Comfort animals are not allowed.
I was there! And i got to meet Nikki and Camper. Super friendly duo. Sorry I couldn't do the truck tour for you, would've loved to been on TH-cam again lol.
Love campers voice that guy speaks perfect english when he feels like it 🐕
Not feeling great today, digestive tract out of whack. This really cheered me up...as I knew it would. Thanks, Nikki and Camper!! Glad pup could go inside biggest truck stop too. Awesome 😃
Thanks for the personal update.
Nice name 😂
Stop drinking m8
you made this trucker proud! thank you for this video. I enjoyed watching you walk through one of my most favorite stops to stay at. sad you missed the chiropractor, he's amazing and worth it! give camper huge hug and pets from me! stay safe driving out there. if you ever need anything, message me here!
Ok.. just sent message
This is my favorite truck stop love stopping here and the food is amazing. Been trucking 6.5 years this place never gets old.
Nikki…you are so enthusiastic and Camper is such a good boy. I love watching your videos. I wish you all the best.
Thank you for the information about the warning as I have epilepsy. I watch all of your videos and now feel safer to know that you have taken the care ❤ for others. Safe travels 🙏 💕 ❤ 💓.
What a cool experience! Love how everywhere is pet friendly!!
Seem Camper's overshadowing you in the comment section so I just thought I would tell you how gracious you appear on your many videos. Thank you for posting.
Camper is SUCH a lucky dog! He gets to go all over !
The movie theater upstairs is cool too.
I LOVE the festival vibes that are going on here. This is all I needed today, you making friends with amazing people to remind me how privileged we are to be on this adventure of life.
Camper is such a big baby! Love how he wholeheartedly loves & trusts you to hold him and be his person! What a special bond with our pets. We are so blessed by them. 🥰
Hi Nikki. In a deck of cards you would definitely be the Queen of Hearts. Have a good night and I'll see you for class in the morning. Hugs, KEN
OMG! I loved every second of this experience! Camper looked like he had so much fun too, so cool!
How cool you got to visit this place. It is just a few miles from me and I actually just got home from there! I worked there in the restaurant through out hig hschool. I hope you enjoyed your time in Iowa it is truly a great place to visit and live.
Camper has the best life ever, so happy for him
I am so happy when I see you having fun with camper. He loves you so much and he shows it
We love you and all your videos. Always waiting for the next one. Drive safe always Nikki and God bless!!
Wait, you finally found a space then hopped out to set up the camera shot and then pulled in, hahahaha! That’s crazy, nowadays that might have started a parking wars battle!
Hello Nikki, thanks for the relaxing vidéo 🤗. Greetings from Belgium Europe 😉🇧🇪🖐️
I use to stop at that truck 🚚 stop. Been awhile since I've seen it. You picked a great place to lay over for the night. There's usually always something to do there. I enjoyed that Nikki, thank you sweetheart for the memories it brought back. I think 🤔 camper was have fun as well, he's a big ol ham. Was you able to talk him into a 🛁. Well done girl, I'll be looking forward to the next one. Until then you and Camper be safe and have fun 👍.
I have lived in THIS motorhoe a 40' diesel for over 17 years and this is the third 40' coach I have owned in my life. I have been to the Iowa 80 many times over the years and it is just as described here FANTASTIC!
Thanks for sharing.
I wish I could give my dogs some of the fun that camper gets to enjoy
Hello there Nikki and camper.... Looks like you guys are having an awesome time I have never been to a truck stop that big...wow 😊... You are looking absolutely stunning as usual Nikki.... Stay safe you are always in my.... Stay frosty beautiful queen 😍🥰😘 prayers...
Everywhere is so dog friendly. We can take our dog on rest stops at all. We used to have milkmen that delivered milk in an electric van, they were called milk floats in the uk! ❤️🇬🇧
Love the choice of shirts! You seem to be doing well w your knee, how’s that going? Always look forward to the Friday videos to see what’s new. That was one cool truck stop!
Sooooo much better! Thank you!!!! After month of rehabilitation and slow improvement via knees over toes ATG program I just did my first big hike last week!!!!! HUGS! Thank you!!!!
Hello Tina how’re you doing?
I'm guessing that your "huge surprise next week" is going to be an announcement about you buying a new vehicle!! Looking forward to next weeks video, to find out what the surprise is!
Best video ever! Love that Camper had free range to explore the Trucker Mall with you.
Very nice. I enjoyed the electric truck information in the museum ! Also you are such a joyful person. You take fantastic car of camper and you give your dog such respect. He behaves so well in that segment. It was very interesting ! My father use to drive cattle. I appreciate truckers. They give us so much. Where would we be without them. Thanks Nikki
Loved your intro to “bag salad night” 😆 Cute as ever dancing Camper 🐾 cool video. Thanks again Nikki 🥰
He-Man at the end got me. It only takes a gentle tap from the Chair of Grayskull to vanquish any foe
The "real shave ice" got it right. Shave ice. Not shaved ice. If you're from Hawaii, these things are important. And you did right by sharing it with Camper, who by the way, does very well with noises, apparently. My travel buddy gets anxious at fireworks. And trucks, for that matter. Beaches are more her thing.
That TA was sparkling. Looked cleaner than a Buc-ees.
Camper is so darned adorable. He’s up for any adventure!❣️❣️❣️
Nikki, my wife I have been following you for a long time. I must say that you are an awesome person, you are always happy and it looks like you and Camper have so much fun together. I used to watch Morgan but, she has dropped off the radar, plus she had so much drama going on. I am sure you have your fare share of drama but you handle it in a most positive way that it very refreshing to see and hear. Keep it going you are amazing.
Do you mean a "drama queen" story in life?
@1:36 : "...I love a good truck stop!" lol! Me too. 🙂Love that another female non-trucker is not afraid to say it! This was really cool and I am definitely going to want to check this out if I am ever in the area. Your video makes me miss great truck stops - I am in Idaho now, and those are far and few between here.
Sadly, a lot of Love's have posted no overnight parking signs in different parts of the country, and they are definitely one of the best out there. Have you noticed that? Love's, cut that out! 😞
Thanks for sharing this! And I really enjoyed your adventurous, "dance like no one is watching" moments too!
Bakersfield has a large truck stop that saved my brother and I one year when we were traveling from LA to Seattle in the summer. It was 109 degrees when we reached Bakersfield so we stayed at that truck stop all day and it was so nice and kept us cool. They had a movie theater and lots of restaurants and just so helpful in keeping us out of the heat. I hadn’t been to very many truck stops so I was very impressed.
AMAZING!!! My dad was a long haul trucker. We would go to truck shows during the summer. This was a treat!!!
Thank you!!!
Great truck stop Nikki, I love your videos! Looks like Camper had a great time too, yay! Safe travels! 😀👍
Nice trip, so jealous of your travels. Something I've wanted to do since my retirement. Please be careful out there. Safe travels!
I always enjoyed staying there. I got stuck there in a snow storm for three days back in 18 It’s was awesome! Don’t forget to check out the truck museum if you get a chance.
Amazing truck stop, thanks for sharing. I was hoping you'd get that teal colored wolf shirt, looks great 😊
Right in my backyard... can't wait to watch!
Nikki and Camper, ready for another adventure 😃
Vacation destination! I love it! ❤️
Hello how are you doing?
Thanks for the update. I have been there a number of times, but not recently. You take care and take care of Camper!
Awesome! You're in my home state. That truck stop is quite BIG! Safe travels on your next stop!
Thanks for taking us along, ive never been there! You are so awesome for showing these travel/work spots. Rock on! Waiting for the next one. "No dogs allowed" lol, silly, Camper is no dog.
You do an awesome job with the camera footage. The way you record everything is like you're watching a movie. Keep up the great work, love Camper and watching your videos.
Add the Hat Six Truck Stop in Evansville Wyoming to the truck stop bucket list. It's on my list as one of the better stops and the lady that owns it is a doll.
Wow Nikki!! I absolutely loved it!! That is so cool that you get to explore the world! That is absolutely living. I love all your all your videos! You guys are the coolest.
Love your videos Nikki! Thanks for sharing once again and taking us along with you for the ride. I have always been fascinated by the large scale truck stops in the U.S being from Australia we don't really have anything anywhere near that scale. My aspiration is to one day tour the interstate Highways of the United States and try the RV life for a while, but for now I can live that life vicariously through you. Ha ha ha Lotsa love to you and camper! Looking forward to your next adventure...stay safe ❤✌
That place is awesome during the jamboree. Been too 4 of them. It's been a couple of years now that I been up there . But no matter when you go it's just always a good place to stay. Thanks Nikki and Camper for sharing. Have a great day.🖐
A trucker's city of fun for sure. There should be more places like that. Thanks for sharing your and Camper's adventures there.
You've been so many places that I want to put on my list but this is definitely going to be one of them. I've got to see this place at some point. Truly enjoy the videos. Y'all be safe out there.
Great place
Always find it fascinating when TH-camrs do segments on this truck stop.
I’d driven by it for decades. Occasionally stopped for gas and bathroom break.
This should be fun 😁
Ahhh growing up in Cedar Rapids I always stopped here anytime I went to Chicago. Memories!!! Go Hawkeyes! 💛🖤
Parked outside a truck stop with probably 10 restaurants and she eats a bag salad. WOW! I bet they had some good fried food in there too.
The look on your dog’s face, when you were making the salad: “ Are you kidding me ?”
