Lived in Wyoming for a few years, and much of my family is from that area. If you haven't yet, check out Thermopolis!!! Cool little fossil town snuggled in a valley of dormant volcanos, and the world's largest man made hot springs! It was quite the tourist hot spot (for WY) in the 70's-90's but is incredibly under appreciated now, small little gem town!
Eric, when you were sitting down in front of your pizza, it reminded me of your early days when you were just getting started. You have done SO MUCH & worked so hard to get where you are today! I'm so glad I found you years ago! It's been fun traveling with you!!! 😁
He needs to find that same type of hat to wear again
Love how Opie has taken to rving! He is a great traveler. Glad your rig is rolling along and seems to tow that trailer just fine! Enjoying the trip right along with you!
Good call on taking the easier route with less elevation.
The less stress you put on your drivetrain, the better!
Your free to travel where you want to, when you want to. I hope you can continue with these ever increasing and insane gas prices. I always enjoy every one of your videos!
The scenery was awe inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
4:15 Those aren't NASA related. Lifeboat capules used for offshore work like oil rigs.
Over forty and still cooking up frozen bachelor food. Keep living the dream brother.
Love to you an the babies Eric!!!!! This is a beautiful place to relax an unwind. That Jack Daniels green label kick my tail on my 15th b-day. A friend of mine bought me a bottle of that a members only jacket a gave me a quarter lol to roll up. I could not roll so I gave that away. Kept the green label an jacket hahaha but boy did I get sick. Haha it took me till I was 32 to taste whiskey again. Then it was ole CROWN. STRAIGHT DOWN THE HATCH ON MY 32ND. Still can not roll cigs. So I let camel company do it. Hahaha. I sure am enjoying my ride along. But would love to be in person. Beautiful ride. An it be nicer for you if someone could drive an let you see some tbis beautiful places also. Besides only when Editing. Well gove babies hugs an here is one for you my friend. Thank You Eric!!!!! For shareing the beauty I would have never seen. Without you!!!!! Awesome person you are!!!!!.
Thank you for the driving information. I am trying to get from Washington State where I was visiting a family member back east or any way out of here without having to go through treacherous terrain. In the past I drove from Wickenburg Arizona up 89 all the way to Glacier NP in Montana and I don't have the stomach for it again! I may just go all the way back down to I-10 to get to PA unless you can suggest a quicker way...at $5.50 a gallon!
That is very beautiful, Wyoming with the river and the landscapes all around you. Thanks for sharing and Opie looked like he was comfortable the entire trip. God Bless on your entire trip and stay safe.
Wonderful video Eric! Beautiful spot... So peaceful! 👍😁
Back on the quirky road again. I ❤️ it. 👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you for all your work making people happy.
Enjoyed the video - interesting travels. Love the snow-capped Rockies but not in adverse weather conditions with treacherous driving conditions. Opie's whiskers are growing longer 😊 sweet babe and Tara girl is an angel 😊 Thumbs up as always.
Those capsules are lifeboats for oil rigs, etc - especially in rough seas, I believe,
My husband used to work off shore on a oil drilling rig. The "saucer" looking things are self propelled, self up-righting escape pods rather like a boat in case of emergencies. They motorized to help people get away from the drilling rig in case there is a disaster.
You find the coolest places to visit Eric 👍, love the scenery on travel days and you found a gem of a spot to relax.. love the kitties looking so relaxed 🥰. Enjoy Wyoming 😁
Eric you live such a beautiful life simple and full of adventure.I love watching your adventures it makes me feel so happy,and gives me hope that one day I will be able to live the same way you do.
I LOVE the fact that you are so proud of Freeda. She is a tough old woman just like me! You make me smile every time you say good things about her! 😂😊 Thanks for this video it was fun and love it that you show the campgrounds and the terrain. Free is always a good thing! Kiss the kitties for me!
Great video Eric. Loved the beautiful time lapse. Safe travels to you and the kitties. Yes, Wyoming is awesome .
4:30 Yep. Those capsules are used on gas rigs and oil rigs to escape in the event of an emergency. I've also seen oval-shaped ones. I've never used one, but I know people who had to sit in them as they were let go into the ocean, for safety training.
Eric you always find the strangest most unique tourist traps. Everyone goes for the Mainstays but you find the little intricate ones on the side I think that's why I have followed you for so long. There's nothing wrong with a lot of strange in your life 🤣🤣🤣🤣✌️🤟
Hey Eric. You should consider turning off your ground effect lights on your RV and trailer as you go to bed. Adding unnecessary light pollution can detract from the night sky for people who want to go to remote places for star gazing. It is not easy to find truly dark places at night so not adding superfluous lights can keep these areas more natural.
Thanks you Eric see you soon
Get a piece of plywood and a couple tubes of liquid nails . Apply the liquid nail and then screw the plywood to the wall. It wont come off. You can buy quarter sheets of plywood to do this. Marine grade in one inch is best ! Good luck!
The survival capsules are basically lifeboats for ships in the open ocean. And that pizza needed some Sriracha. ;)
So sad for the people in the accident I hope everyone is okay. But what a perk now we get some more sightseeing so glad you're not the guy 🤣✌️🤣
Loved Wyoming when my husband and I visited long ago, enjoy your trip Eric. Sending kitty rubs for Opie and Tara.
I went through the Rockies in a semi truck. You’re not lying.
Helicopter “Ear-ra-koi” named after the Indian tribe, and famous for its work in Vietnam UH-1 “Huey”
Thank you
I haven’t been to Wyoming for awhile. This makes me think about heading that way for a bit. Thanks Eric. Hugs to the kitties
There used to be a company here in Asheville that made belly kayaks for body surfing rivers
Beautiful spot for a lil R&R 💕👍
Have a safe Memorial Day weekend.🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇲
Those 3 escape pods are lifeboats for offshore drilling platforms.
I'm disappointed to hear Eric will never fish again 😂 I'd have you catching trout on a fly rod pretty quick. If i ever get the chance to travel like this in an rv, it's going to be a fly fishing trip through the west - Montana, Wyoming, Utah, idaho, Colorado, New Mexico.
We'll see. fishing doesn't capture well on video. It's slow and patient hobby and it just doesn't transfer well when you are trying to make a video and keep people interested.
The big boot at L.L.Bean in Freeport Maine is much bigger than that sneaker. Even the mobile "Bootmobiles" are bigger. I think the shredded material is all Crocs, but I have no idea where they'd have come from. The survival capsules are modern enclosed lifeboats for ships.
The survival capsules the astronauts from the moon landings went into when they landed in the sea. At the top were three huge parachutes too slow the landing.
I think I remmeber that from the Appllo 13 movie. Not sure how this farm got THREE of them?! lol.
@@nomadicfanatic Yeah, that's weird. The owner must have a connection to old school NASA.
I believe the person who said oil rig. Remember, only 2 or 3, maybe 4 guys went on the Apollo missions. Those are very clearly made for 10 or 12 or more people. Seats all around outside and in the center. Astronauts had to lay down while descending back to earth. Definitely not designed like that inside. Google or youtube would show old videos of space capsules. They ain't these.
I used to work in Tumwater WA. Across the street from the Olympia Brewery
You really need to look and to starlink I've seen many TH-camrs and full timers that work on the road be out in the middle of nowhere and the starlink satellites still gives them connection
I've been looking into it for years.... Have two close friends STILL having issues connecting to a new cell when the travel. It's fine for a stationary nomad, but when they leave, joining a new cell means getting on a waitlist and it's not working for either of my "moving" nomad friends.
That capsule had to be from an amusement park. Wouldn't it have been cool to be shut inside that and going down a river rapid bouncing around how cool so sorry we missed it. 💔
The capsules were lifeboats at one time.
Hey you are in my hometown. We just left Loveland. Poudre is pronounced poo der. Vail pass is brutal!! I dislike it and I’m from Colorado! Driving up the poudre to Walden is gorgeous but also brutal. Gould to Walden is Moose central. Lots of boondocking up there but no cell service besides Walden. Thanks for showing us a great new way to get to CO as well as a sweet campsite for Starlink. Thanks for all you show us. I really appreciate it!!
And of course on my trip my bus trip from Cincinnati Ohio to Lander Wyoming I went through Cheyenne Wyoming and Casper Wyoming, I remember how excited I was riding out of Casper on the bus and looking out on the landscape NC and watching the antelope run free. I didn’t know what they were just had to tell me what what what is it what are those. Of course going through Northwest Nebraska there is some beautiful scenery believe it or not. I’m sure you know that you’ve traveled all over the place
You crack me up, being astonished at the place with all the tractors being the collector that you are! 👍😘
It's an impressive line up!
Good Morning Beast Nomadic Fantastic Eric Jax TH-cam video 🐈🐈
Love the rivers. btw, why does the inset graphics at the start show 1.2 million subscribers but the one below your youtube name says 231k subscribers?
Just a little bit of Eric’s humor.
They body surf on the Truckee River in Reno,Nevada. Though the water in Reno is stronger
I loved the dash cam where I could travel along with you. Please let’s have more of that.
Very Beautiful and peaceful
Where is sweet kitty Tara?
We moved to Wyoming last Sept from Colorado. Going to grandmas from Denver many years , we have traversed I80 many a years. Just got to be careful of wind! Beautiful drive
You could try gluing scrap 2x4 to the wall with construction adhesive or 3m 5200 then screw into the wood with anchor screws.
That is a beautiful spot. Relax and enjoy!
What a cool place to camp! Love it! Be safe and have fun. 😊
My family had a car like that old Dodge/Plymouth (?) at the beginning when I was born (1952).
Maybe time to try Starlink for RV’s? Supposed to work well in wide open skies like that place.
The river is the Cache La Poudre… pronounced cash-La-poohder…… those survival capsules are lifeboats. On I-80 there are no mountains….
What a beautiful campground you found.
Denver Airport Is Creepy.
My wife thinks you should bring a bird feeder and a sheppard's hook to hang it on.
Great entertainment for you and the kitties.😄🐦
Great filming. Sure this will be appreciated by generations
Watch the wind in Wyoming
Beautiful camp site! I love the western states. So peaceful and beautiful. Be safe.
Eric's got the skills for parking.
Nice looking river but The funny thing was if you look at your picture of those two factories it looks like something out of a twix chocolate bar commercial. 👍✌✌💪💖🎅🚌🌻
Why not fishing is relaxing and fun it doesn't matter if you catch any fish or not it's relaxing
Eric in December 19 70 I went to Knolls in OLS national outdoor leadership school east in Lander Wyoming. And it was an outdoor backpacking school and or or or whole 30 days for 30 days we were up in the wind river range mountain range which is between Lander and Jackson hole it runs north and south. Beautiful area lander is lander lander Wyoming is due north of rock springs Wyoming about 50 miles. I don’t have a map in front of me. Course Rocksprings Wyoming is on 880 in the 88880 the I the number eight number zero in the south west corner of Wyoming not far from Utahthe end
Really comes across how blue that Colorado sky. Beautiful 🤗
That river..."would you just look at that?...Just look at it. Would you look at it?" ;)
Loved driving through Wyoming last year. Although we went through a central section on a Smokey day that made it seem like a post apocalyptic place LOL. We found a cool state park called Tough Creek campground just north of Shoshone. I think that was on our way to Yellowstone. Such a cool State.
That car place was really comprehensive with capsules, airplanes, etc. Great spot you have there. Enjoy.
Also, have you considered getting starlink, it is available for travel now?
You got to love the Northwest in the Spring and summer.
287 into Laramie is a great drive. I drove that many times back and forth in college at UW in the early 90's.
I drove to Idaho from Missouri via I-80 through Wyoming and Nebraska last fall. There is a rest area before Cheyenne that was beautiful.
Great views! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful country ❤️. Thanks Eric 😊 love your travels.
Loved the farm! What a great find! Beautiful camping spot!>Sue
Eric, try using Command strips. I have a heavy wooden sign hanging on my wall using them. Damage-free hanging. The ones I used holds up to 16 lbs.
I70 can definitely be problematic. They're always closing it through the Glenwood Canyon for something, sometimes one lane, sometimes all lanes. Glad you're being so cautious in a new to you rig. Great video!
I love those party pizzas but I have to cook two of them to fill full, thought you needed to know that 🤣
What a beautiful campsite! You sure do find some quirky things! 🤪
That place is awesome spent 4 days in that spot to your right just back in and relaxed. 🐕🙋♀️🙋♂️
Hey Eric Gm man that was some great stuff bud Sure hope you and the kitties are well
One man's junk is another man's treasure.
I wish you would of show the whole "backing of the trailer" without the cut. Kinda wanted to see how you back a trailer in a RV. I going Nomadic this fall and looking at different setups of RV s and how I want to tow or buy a garage camper for my RZR.
life capsule or lifeboat. Should have a diesel motor in it.
producer/composer here. 🎹 Keep up the great work. 👊🏽 Peace from Japan. 🍣
Hey Eric. You should metal detect here and there on the road. I promise, you won't be skunked. I think a cool accent to your channel. We love you and your journey, we've been following for a few years.👍
Bend Oregon has a man made rafters delight too
Great video thanks for sharing and the time lapse was awesome!
Great video! Thanks! So much better than the last one.
Hey Eric,
There is a better Tow Matter in Monte. You should check it out next time you are here.
Wyoming is on my list for places I really want to go to, I think I will be heading there next May
Eric, remember this comment when you come back through Kentucky. I can take you out on a boat and get you back into fishing!
Its pronounced poo-dur river. I've fished the hell out of that river when I lived near Denver 😂rivers are coming down fast, runoff season is just about over. I can't wait, that's when the really good fishing starts. I'm down in Durango Colorado now. I'm afraid Eric is too afraid of mountain driving to ever make his way down here though 😂 maybe if he came in from the south through New Mexico
Yep I giggled when I heard him try to pronounce Poudre. I'm headed to Durango next Thursday. Looking forward to Wolf Creek Pass. 😄
old school capsules from off shore drilling rigs
Have you ever thought about selling a booklet of the coordinates of the places you boondock over the years?
If you go north on i15 through Brigham city Utah, I'd live to meet you
