Love your videos. My husband and I are addicted to your videos. We learn so much from you videos, it's like being there with you. Thank you for all your time, we really appreciate all your hard work. Safe travels.
My late Father was the Roads and Trails Foreman at Joshua Tree from 1970-1971, before we moved to Jamestown Virginia.
The camera work in your last 2 videos is some of your best, looks great through the youtube app on my smart 4K tv. You were a big part of inspiring me to get an RV and travel, now you're inspiring to get out west and see it in person.
Thank you. The West must be seen in person. There's no way I can capture the entire experience with my camera. Hope you can make it out there.
Wonderful adventure again! Those Joshua trees are weird. Beautiful mountains, graet narration, good music,
thanks for sharing Robert !
You are an excellent narrator. I’m also addicted to your videos...which I learn a lot because I’m starting in “this world “ of traveling trailers... Thank you!
Hey Robert! You guys passed within 2 miles of our house when you were heading west on the 10 fwy! It was surreal seeing my exit on your video...lol I've been distracted with adjusting to retire life, so got behind on your videos. Leticia and I are all caught up now thanks to a few marathon binge watching sessions! Love the music! Safe travels to you and Ileana!
Thank you. It would have been cool to bump into you :-)
Robert I’m a big fan. I look forward to you videos every week. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Please keep them coming.
Thank you!
Great adventure, Joshua Tree national park looks wonderful with great scenery. The Pacific coast highway California route 1 is a must drive road trip. Thanks for the upload.
We stayed at that flying flags resort a couple of years ago. Driving and Vibing were there at the same time. didn't meet them ,just saw their rig. Solvang was interesting but it was a holiday weekend and the place was overrun with tourists. Enjoy your stay.
It was after 4:00 P.M. when I arrived Joshua Tree park in 2017. And I got a lot of beautiful pictures in the sunset, for all the trees stand in the golden light. So impressive. Thanks for calling this good memory back from your vlog.
You are the best at what you do...traveling & sharing the wonderful journey! ¡ Gracias Robert!
Oh the night sky footage was our favorite bit but thanks, as always, for bringing us along on the adventure.
Thank you for this leisurely trip through my backyard--I can name every freeway you were driving on. Your video photography sure enhance the beauty of So. CA--this is a wonderful
vid.
My girlfriend and I are visiting the park for the first time this weekend. We are definitely excited to get some peace and tranquility from the city. Your voice and music is soothing ha. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Love your videos! You just happened to passed my home in Los Angeles County. Awesome adventures that you are experiencing. I have a Colorado Diesel so I am looking to have the size like your RV and take road trips. Thanks for all your effort putting this video together. I enjoy every moment of it. Please keep them coming.
Another greeeeaaaaaatttt video... Man I miss the California desert. Lived there for 2-3 years. It's one of those places that does take you a minute to really enjoy. But once you do, it's a place you will never forget. The peace and quiet was my favorite part.
Very nice trip ...I will be adding Joshua Tree to my bucket list now thank you
And the saga continues, loved the vLog. How pretty is that camp ground in Buellton!! Great footage of the PCH as well.
I love your videos. So relaxing and beautiful. You show exactly what I would want to see on a road trip. Thanks, Robert.
Another great video. That was some really pretty country, you are a lucky man to make the trip from coast to coast and explore the country the whole way, I love watching you videos when I first get up with a cup of coffee
Thanks Robert, driving and exploring in the west....so much fun ! Great editing, I know it's a lot of work! Love to see more cooking in the RV.
I love your videos. That is my go-to when I am on you tube. Lots of good info an travels. Thanks for the adventures an hard work to make the videos possible.
I Live in the beautiful State of California we have great Deserts 🌵, beautiful Mountains 🏔 and great Ocean 🌊
$5 a gallon Gasoline, Needles all over the streets and Endless tent cities full of junkies! It's not all beautiful! Hope the good parts remain the way they are and good luck to you Brenda!
And great cities, great climate, great people! :)
@@Jim19826301 LOL. Hook, sink, and line!
@@muddeer2222 It's hook, line and sinker dude!
Joshua Tree is a beautiful area 🌵 Your footage is crystal clear against the blue sky backdrop. Really enjoy the muted trumpet accompaniment. Lovely.
Absolutely fantastic and fabulous video, I really enjoy watching. big thumbs up and have a great weekend.
Thanks for sharing. Hope to journey there too someday from NC on my way to the west coast. I also tow a Minnie. I love it and tow with a Chevy Express 5.3 van.
You're welcome. I might switch to a van at some point. More storage
Beautiful and isolated places.What beautiful rock formations. It reminded me the rocks of Cappadocia, Turkay. I have never seen a joshua tree.. But for me the most is the Pacific Coast. What beautiful landscape. Congrats....>>>
Fantastic as usual and Congratulations on 75,000 subscribers!!!
Thank you!
I love this channel! Keep going, Robert. Your beautiful travel reports are wonderful to watch. I wish you all the best including many more subscribers and all the adsense money in the world (well deserved). Hope to see you someday in a brand new trailer or motorhome.
I love the scenery,in particular the mountains & desert.safe travels Robert.
Joshua Tree NP is amazing especially at night!
I love your videos. So relaxing and beautiful . Thank you for all the hard work.
Thank you!
A wonderful road trip and awesome scenery, thanks for sharing with us
Pretty cool to see you commenting on and complimenting a camper van from Escape camper vans. We rented one from them last year and took it to the Gorge in Washington State. Great times.
I hope to get to Joshua Tree National Park as that is one of the few CA National Parks I have never visited. Thanks for the great scenic views and narration.
Beautiful sunset Robert...Love that Joshua tree park...I wonder what a group of goats would do in a field of them. The Jackrabbit doesn't need a cell booster, he has his own satellite dishes....I bet he exercises his ears everyday and can hear really great. What a size of ears eh? Seriously love those mountains colors at sunset. There is nothing like living in the mountains. Beauty personified....Say hi to your mother for us....We think she is so sweet.......Have a great day to you and your family Robert. Carolyn & Colin Hogarth Osoyoos BC Canada....
Just returned from a visit to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree. You are right about lack of internet coverage at the park. We got lost and ended up by accident at Key Views. Glad we got lost as the view was awesome and one of the highlights of the trip.
Hello friend with a nice intro Riding music, thanks for sharing the Joshua tree national park.. hope you have a great day..
Thank you! Have a great day yourself.
We were there the 2nd week of March. We came in the South entrance and saw the BLM land but we'd already made a reservation for Cottonwood. Fortunately we couldn't fit in well enough so we gave up our spot and stayed about 100 yards West of where you were. GREAT spot in the middle of the "Supper Bloom" . The car & bicycle next to you were still there when we left. Way past the 14 day limit ! The flora & fona were much more alive with color than your video depicts. Sea's of orange, purple, white & yellow desert flowers. Its all about the timing; and ares was just pure luck.
I love JTNP. It is an amazingly beautiful place to visit.
Once again you have a great video that brings back memories. 20 years ago I visited that area with my wife and parents.
Thank you
Awe you passed by my hometown of Ventura! Thanks for sharing Robert!
I will show Ventura on the next video... or perhaps the one after that
The Pacific is gorgeous along the PCH. I haven't been to LA but I would probably use the 3D Google maps to take a virtual road trip along the route to get acquainted with the area. It worked well before driving in other areas that I wasn't acquainted with.
I LOVE your channel. Thank you for capturing such beauty and sharing. You're bringing back good memories from a trip I took with my kids ❤
I thought this might be boring but as always your videos are never boring..😁
Thank you!
I've never seen Joshua Tree so green and the growth of the cactus is huge, really remote, you guys felt uncomfortable with out connection to phones etc. I just remember when we didn't have them, well. I love the night sky, that sends me. Thanks again.
You're right in my backyard! I live in Palm Springs California! Great show!
The West has endless exploration opportunities. Glad you'll be making several more trips in the future... would love some Caribbean/Central South American vids too... helps that you speak Spanish!
We'll do Central and South America at some point for sure. Thanks!
Getting close to my home in the Salinas valley/Monterey peninsula!
Understood the camera does not do justice, but beautiful scenery anyways. Makes me want to visit there. Btw. excellent soundtrack once again, particuralry between 14.22-15.40 the trumpet solo with sordinoed trumpet on another channel, I just loove it! Nice job!
Excellent video as usual 👍
Love the campground you arrived at, at the end. Shame our ones in the UK aren’t like that... ☹️
I like how you warn people of dangers in the areas you are in. I think sometimes people on vacation don't think about danger because they are so enjoying their trip. Every place we visit has things we might not know about. I lived in Mississippi and you just know not to walk in tall grass or swim in some places. People in New England can walk in tall grass and swim in ponds, they go to south and don't know about the critters.
Yes, Robert, I live vicariously through you and your wife's adventures. When my husband has his first vacation this summer, I'm going to sit him down one day and start watching your videos from the beginning, with him. When he retires, we're going to buy an RV. Who knows, perhaps we will buy one before that. I have been watching all different kinds of videos on RVs.(Not that you asked. )
City of Angels? Not anymore!
That's mob looks like what I used to see around New York City, yuck!
Yay!!!! As you were driving into LA county I thought, "Maybe some year Robert will explore the Central Coast." I'm delighted you saw it, I live in Santa Barbara just a block from the 101. Honk the next time you drive by!
Fantastic videography and additional effects, like the map where you show your route. I’m ready for another road trip...trouble is, summers at our home are so busy.
Thank you!
Being from Jersey I LOVED Joshua Tree National Park! I am so happy I made it there in my lifetime. Thanks for sharing your amazing trips!
Again. Great.
The music always a nice touch.
Thx.
Bob
Gooooood morning Robert! Thank you for another chapter in your epic trip to the West. Have a great day my friend. 🌴😎👍
Thank very much Robert!!!!!!!!!GRACIAS
OMG! The views are incredible! Thanks again for taking us! I hope to one day visit all of this.
Love your videos.. You do an amazing job making us feel like we are right there with you. Your voice is perfect for this. You would also do great guided meditations too. Very soothing tone. Thank you for all your work. So glad I found you. Melissa
Your videos are my favorite -- I've commented before how much I love the music and narration, but also how you show the areas. What method do you use to find the RV parks and camping locations you stay at?
Thank you. I usually use the AllStays app, not so much anymore now that they no longer support Android phones. Sometimes I just Google, or freecampsites.net A lot of "word of mouth" as well
@@TravelingRobert Thank you!
Jumbo rocks looks more like Bed Rock from the Flintstones😁
A wonderful Park...Than you Robert for doing the driving for me....
Robert, when you do your voiceovers, how do you remember all the spots and sites you’ve been? I’ve watched about a thousand of your videos and I’m amazed at the detail narration you provide. Do you have notes or have you been gifted with a a photographic memory??
Excellent video. I can’t believe you were lucky enough to find a campsite in Jumbo Rocks, but left because of no cell phone coverage? Oh my! You’ve got to unplug sometimes, dude. It’s good for the soul. :)
Love your narration work Robert!
Thanks!
I was there when I was a kid with my parents, so much fun, they had a raddlesnake in the visitors center
Another beautiful video! Thank you!
At last, a part of California we have not visited. Thank you for the view from PCH !
Love Joshua tree❤️we stayed at black rock on our airstream they have WiFi and very peaceful campground dump station and water ❤️God bless
If only these parks were free, but only if some tourists and folks didn't vandalize or threw garbage. Safe travels.
There's always that person who ruins it for the rest of us.
I like your style ....Robert be safe
Thank you!
You missed all the wildflowers at the Cottonwood entrance. I think you came too early.
Thank you for sharing, its on my bucket list
For your future information Robert, Yucca trees is pronounced "yuck-a" not "you-ka". LOL. That's what we call them in CA. And as for the Cholla cactus, what makes them so dangerous is the fact they have barbs on the end of their spines. They get into your skin and won't let go! It's similar to having a fishing hook in your skin. Sometimes it requires getting pliers to get them out. And for anyone visiting the gardens, if you get one in you, you most likely will have more than one spine to deal with. Always remember to pull out the shortest ones first because when you start to pull them out, your skin will stretch and they will keep traveling deeper into your skin. If you pull the longest ones first, the shorter ones could disappear and you'll have to have them professionally taken out. I know this from experience. I was very surprised to hear they had shut the place down. I was shocked. Joshua Tree is one of my favorite places to visit in CA. I'm glad they reopened the park. As for wildlife there - we were driving out of camp one early morning and I got the rare experience of seeing a mountain lion crossing the road. There are a lot of coyotes there too and at night you can start howling and get them all going. It's a fun thing to do at night while sitting around the fire. In the morning I woke up to the coyotes in our camp and they were eating our grapes we had left out. It was at the end of summer so they were real hungry from lack of food.
(In falsetto with heavy vibrato...)
We're driving to the west in Rob's RV, we're gonna dip our toes into the sea, and then we'll drink a beer or prob'lee 3,
because I'm free, in _Rob's RVEEEE..._
yeeeaaaahhhhhaaaahaaaa!
Enjoy your videos and jealous of your time to travel, however I would love to find some place with NO cell phone coverage.
We officially need a ‘get out of the way ya’ll” Traveling Robert T-shirt...
Great video wondering how the Chevy Colorado holding up how’s mpgs
It is holding up well. Mpg fluctuates between 11 and 13 pretty consistently
The best hike there is Hidden Valley. Done it several times.
I love that song. It is in my head all the time. By the way, I hopt they pay you for the ads they run in the middle of your videos. This one was at 19 mins. Might be more as I keep watching.
Robert, The music you pick is very good for your videos, and as always you do a great job of covering the areas you go to. I enjoy the videos very much, Thank You.
Love your videos Robert. As a California, orange county/L.A. County resident I apologize for the scenery in downtown L.A, meaning all the dispersed camping that takes place right int he middle of the city thanks to our local politicians.
Muchas gracias por tus videos ! 👍🏽
Great narrative commentary!
Thank you
What an incredible place ❤
Nicely done Sir. Joshua Tree is a beautiful place. It is also a great album by U2. Give it a listen if you haven’t. I bet you’d like it. 😊🎼🎸
Your initial attitude toward Joshua Tree is understandable RM. I had the same skepticism when I visited. While everything about Joshua trees and the park is pretty cool, my attitude toward the trees is still kind of "so what?" Most Floridians would look at them and say "Florida is littered with those, or something like them. Not sure how yucca trees and palmettos are related taxonomically or genetically, but mostly what Joshua Tree reminded me of was Florida.
Excellent material
Maybe you could sometimes make a sticker video of each sticker, short story and location?
That's a great idea.
Why did you skip San Diego? Flying Flags is nice but, you completely missed Jalama Beach. It's a beautiful drive to get there and is a beautiful campsite.
Great video! I think that animal was a Jackelope!
:-D
If it had not been for this video we would not have planned to visit the park.
Roberto, que le Paso a Minie Tinie Kia??? Dios Mio! Como llas sabes, soy un abogado Federal en NYC. Vivo en los Hamptons de long Island y tengo un Class C Coachmen Parked on my back yard with only 17k miles on it in one of my Houses. Pero no lo usoI You've inspired me to do so since I have so much to see! And yes, I also flip houses and own Platinum Atist Record and am the house Laywer for my Cousins Franklin Romero Record Label and owner of Aventura. It's called Premium Latin Music! I too compose many of the spanish music you hear on the radio. So, you're welcome to camp out in any one of my houses should you come up this way in Long Island. I'm as humble as they come and down to earth but truly am impressed with your music and videos! In fact, Elvis Crespo is also hooked as is my boy Bachata Height, El Torito, Victor Manuel, La India and her Mother Mama Gloria, and so much more! They're all inspired to buy and travel by your videos!!! Hahahahahaaaa! Dios mio! Keep em coming Brother! So very proud of you and the inspiration you've given us all by your work. Ya tu sabes mi Hermano! Safe travels.
Gracias Ralph. I might be able to finally make it to long island next fall. By the way old Kia died prematurely due to mechanic's negligence but that's old history now.
It's funny how you mentioned the Movie SIDEWAYS. I own it and it it one of my favorites. 😁
What do you use to make your graphical, animated maps?
Mountain Life I was wondering too. Love them!
Fly Robert, fly!
Very nice trip through joshua tree
Thanks!
I was thinking this clip would be cool. I was right!
