As an over the road trucker I appreciate places like Phat Fish brewing!
This series is going to be so much fun! It's off to a great start (other than you being sick...). I look forward to more.
Ricola, cough drops are really a great relief. Yellow bag, original. I always pick the wraps and sandwiches in the back of the shelf and loaves of bread too. And check the date they are made. Bag salads too. This is fun following your journey. ☕️👍🏻🇺🇸. 🍜
I hope you get to feeling better! Your channel has definitely come a long way. I am loving watching it grow.
I know you’re a big coffee guy but drinking tea and honey really helps with sore/ scratchy throats. Hope you feel better. Loving this road-trip 🙌🏼🍻
Thanks Johnny, hope you feel better soon. BTW, I love the travel day videos, makes it seem more lifelike
Thank you for another great video. Excited to see you travel from the West Coast to the East Coast. Be safe my friend I am disabled, retired garbage man, living in Sonoma county. Thank you for all your hard work keep on trucking.❤
Thank you for your continued support! Means a lot 🙏 More vids soon to come!
Still a lot of beautiful color here in New Hampshire.. Usually the color stays until the first snow/rain storm with high winds to knock the leaves off the trees. Try to visit the kanc but beware it will be busy. Forest road 17 has some boondocking spots close to the kanc highway in Conway, NH.
Hey man just a heads up. Diesel will gel below around thirty degrees so I would grab some anti gel for your truck any time you’re in super cold weather during your trip. Oh and plug in your truck at night whenever you have a chance.
Awesome trip so far buddy!
In New Hampshire it will be clear/cool this week with few small storms temps between 30 at night and 50s day. Thank for the reminder and What a great tip it is that time of year!!
Hey Jonathan! The adventure begins! Hope you are doing well and feeling better as you trek across the country. The color in the New England area is getting pretty good. I just drove through Maine this past weekend. Not yet peak, but getting there. If you are going up past Portland, Maine, I would highly recommend a stop at Acadia National Park. It is an amazing place. The mountains aren't like the Cascades, but still some great hikes (including some spots where you have to hang on to iron rungs in the rocks to avoid falling...). You can drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain to catch the sunrise. It is the highest spot on the east coast and the views on a good day are amazing. With your video skills, you'd capture it very well. Enjoy the trip! I'm looking forward to your adventure.
2 oz whiskey
3/4 oz lemon juice

Jonathan, I’d say you have to take the good ole Blue Ridge Parkway. The Blue Ridge Trail parkway is a total of 469 miles from near main all the way down the east coast following through the ancient Appalachian mountains. These rolling hills also bring a treasure that you can’t get anywhere else in the world and that’s millions of caves. I’d recommend finding a A caves or, visit Luray Caverns, Virginia for the best experience with a smooth guide through the ancient mountains.
Great video! As a former employee and a loyal shopper of Trader Joe’s, the “fresh” pre-made packed food like the wraps, sushi, and salads are the weakest part of the store. Stick to the dry foods and frozen items, which can be really good. You might be better off buying fresh food along the way since you have the storage for it. Love your series. Safe journeys!!!
Hi, Jonathan! I pray that you have a safe journey. I think you will enjoy Portland Maine. It's a great area!
I can recommend Zicam for respiratory illness. The one that works for me is the chewable. It dissolves as you chew. It tastes great, too. Chew one every 3 hours, and you'll recover a lot quicker. 😊👍👍👍👍
You left us hanging whether you were feeling better!
I hope you dont hurry in getting to your destination cause what makes it worth watching your vlog is the journey, its the going not the getting there, considering the scenic views along the way 😊 be safe ❤
Scenic views on his way back.
I live in up state NY...already peak...leaves will be gone within a week or so...then snow anytime after that...Pretty late in the year to drive cross country to see Fall leaves...but it will be an adventure either way...hope you feel better...I am just getting over a 3 week cold...drink lots of fluids!!!!
Stress can make us sick. You're pushing yourself by driving a lot with a timeline hanging over your head. Take it easy.
Enjoy the adventure and love the ZB playing in the background.
I just drove through Montana the Rest stops are amazing!! As a solo female traveller it felt so safe. Individual washrooms such a bonus.
Feel better, and thanks for taking us along this cross country trip!
What a gutsty trip. Stay safe. Hope the $$ fuel doesn’t kick the budget in the groin too hard!
That and unexpected repairs!
We usually have a small cooler up front in the vehicle with premade sandwiches, drinks, fruit etc that we can just grab while driving. Thera flu is always my go to. Feel better and safe travels
This is a good video, because whether it’s van, life, teardrop life, big RV, bus life, it’s never going to be sunshine and roses every day. You have to take the down days with the good days are you’ll never appreciate your good days. I enjoy your videos very much, may someday switch from a teardrop to the truck camper!
Myself and 1 of my best bro's drove across country we drove I-40 it was absolutely amazing beautiful we live in a wonderful country expect all the greed politicians ENJOY YOUR TRIP AND BE SAFE
Truly enjoy your videos, feel like I’m on the road with you as well. Feel better soon and be safe out there ❤
Take care of yourself, and don’t overdo it. Stop and smell the roses along the way so you can stay well rested! You are going to have the best time! As you make your way east, reach out if you need a place to moochdock in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Stay safe.
Love following you on this adventure- I have 2020 8-11 Northern Lite - I applaud your choice- last year I drove from Phoenix to Cape Cod with my little dog and am doing a bit of reliving that trip watching you- I am 74 and wish I had been able to travel as you do in my youth- keep it up! BTW- saw your Wild Fly hat- as a 50+ year fly fisherman I encourage your fishing endeavors
Sounds like an awesome camper! Appreciate the support and I will certainly keep at it with the fly rod.
Have an awesome trip brother.!! We will be watching your adventure.! Big fan of the channel.! Btw the movie you was watching is “Chef” with Sofia Vergara.
Enjoy and be safe!
A start to your adventure. Look forward to your videos. 😊
Wishing you good health and safe travels!
Safe travels and hope you’re feeling better!!!
Sort of an after-the-fact comment, but your background music reminded me of my long-distance trips and how
interesting it can be to listen to local radio stations as you pass through cities and towns.
Also, after the fact, most cities of any size at all have an urgent care center. Good places to drop in to let the docs or
the nurse practitioners have a quick look at your throat et al.
Thanks for bringing us along for the ride 👍🏼
So much fun! Wish you were feeling good! The leaves are changing Johnathon! The 1st frost has to happen first!
Unfortunately, life has its own nuances, and it's NO FUN to be sick ANY time.
It's nice you have your cozy little tiny home with you instead of having to tent camp, especially in the colder temps, and when not feeling normal.
I'm sure you'll be fine and think you're doing right by resting and taking some kind of medicine.
I'm excited about your trip, and I can't wait to follow WHEREVER you go no matter how long it takes.
Be safe and get well! ❤
Thanks for sharing man! Looking forward to this adventure with you!!
Upstate NY and Vermont are gorgeous right now with the changing of the leaves. And you are fine on time. Most of NY is at mid change, the Adirondacks are at peak but they won't fall for a while. Vermont is mid way except for the northern part which is like the Adirondacks.
Glad you are making the best of your set up! Great video!
Wishing you safe travels and hope you start feeling better soon....
Bon Voyage Jonathan. Hope you get feeling better soon.
Be Safe Out There. Get Well And Enjoy Your Trip👍
Be very careful while travelling along the northern highways at dusk into the night. When you hit a bear it’s like running into 2000 lbs of lard and a dear can total your rig. Please drive safe
Great video Jonathan ! Thanks for taking us along on your trip to the east coast !! Just sitting on the sofa here !!
I hope your feeling better and keep that stuff on your camper😊
Sorry you were feeling so under the weather as you started the trip. But by the end of this video, you looked and sounded more like yourself again. Sending good vibes your way that your trip goes well and you feel great!
Phat Fish Brewing, thanks for that info. Safe travels!!! (FYI, being sick before the trip is your body purging out the bad and making room for the good things to come.)
FYI: Trader Joe's gives refunds on products you don't like. No receipt needed.
Also, I use herbal teas,Throat coat,Gypsy Cold Care, Breath easy. TraditionalMedicine & Yogi tea brands. Saved many a camping trip!
HI Jonathon.... We are always glad to be your "co-pilots" Thanks for taking us along on your next adventure.... Doc.
✨Thanks for the video and update ! Get well soon ! You looking better towards the end of the video. Enjoy your trip and stay safe ! Hope you bypass Chicago. Bad areas !
Can't wait to see you at your destination places ! Happy Trails Jonathan. 🍂🍁
Hope you feel better soon.
That's a lot of driving and can hardly wait until the next video.
Gonna be a lot of fun!!!
Safe travels bro! Looking forward to many awesome videos!
Thanks for sharing. Hope you feel better soon✌🏻
Have a safe enjoyable trip!
So awesome that you're making the trip to Maine!😎👍
I drive a lot covering 6 states for my job and I can tell you, driving while sick absolutely makes you feel worse and drains every bit of energy you need to recuperate. I hope you feel better soon!
Loved it Jono, great vid. Hope you're feeling better.
May I make a suggestion. Add a code for each episode in the title. IE.. CCT. E1 and CCT.E2 For Cross Country Trip episode 1 and 2... Or something similar. SRT.E1
im so excited about these vids i love wtaching cross county camp and travel
Great start to your journey. ❤
Vid is GREAT! when you said where you were at, i googled it just to see how far you've gottin... kinda fun to follow you on your trip.. be safe and get better soon!
Safe driving, stay hydrated 😊
I love the scenery in your videos as someone thats been down on thier luck with health your vids bring so much joy to me and gets me out of my funk?
❤🙏❤🙏
Good to see you getting out of the Portland metro!
Hope you feel Better soon!👍
Enjoy brotha!
Such a long distance. Safe healthy travels
Really good travelling tunes at the end ❤ Allman brothers! Well I sure hope you feel better because I caught that same bug, mine got really bad. I'm still trying to get over it. I've had it for 4 days now. I had to get an antibiotic. I've never tried Theraflu.
Hoping you are feeling better than you did in this video. I enjoy watching your videos!
Great video. I hope you are feeling better! I look forward to watching this series. Too bad you are not coming through NC. You would love it!
My grandmother’s prescription for a sore throat was to put some sugar under my tongue followed by slowwwwly sipping a shot of high-proof bourbon. But only when stopped for the night, please! I’m looking forward to the rest of your adventure, and thanks for sharing with us.
You are going to love Maine!!!!
I'm excited to follow along on your trip to Maine, as I grew up in New England and think it's one of the greatest areas of thos country. I do worry, however, that you're going to be disappointed by the foliage this year. It has been one of the wettest years in a long time which is messing with the leaves this year.
Hope you feel much better!
Looks like fun 😎👊🏻🔥🔥
Old nc 105 is nice but definitely busy on the weekends
Weather has been pretty good on Cape Breton Island this fall. You should be able to still catch some nice fall colours on the Cabot Trail.
Hope you feel better soon, Jonathan..
Have fun hope your feeling better 🙂
Nice vids! Keep 'em coming.
Great video, Yentch
There's a song called Portland to Portland by Pet Symmetry that encapsulates this drive pretty well lol
A cold hatch for you my friend peal a whole grapefruit in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes, let cool and pour through a filter drink all of it it will cure your cold.
you may just have to go a little further south to really catch peek season foliage. I'm in CT and the leaves are just starting to change here, so there's a little more time here to catch the leaves. :) just a thought.
Go get em tiger! Love your videos you keep producing and we will keep watching.
I would love to see someone drive Washington to Maine to Florida to California back to Washington! THAT would definitely be a road trip!
Happy trails 😊
I take a Zinc suppliment anytime I start to feel under the weather!
It’s a bit too early for the fall foliage. Leaves here in PA are just starting to change.
Maybe if your headed to Maine you’ll catch some colors.
Get well soon.
You're going to love what Maine has to offer my man. I just took a 6 hour drive up from Boston. Just be weary of the Moose while driving. Safe travels
Be safe. Be well.
Hope your feeling better.
Nice video as always ,look forward for the next update.
Hey .. I've done this trip many times. I live near Portland Maine and bought my camper in Everett WA. You're probably taking 90 - when you're passing through Wisconsin pick up some spotted cow beer .. .. have a good trip .. Ohio has the best rest areas
I shop at Trader Joe's a lot. that chicken looks very familiar. I have been disappointed in some of their stuff it goes bad quickly. I always check the expiration dates on it. Hopefully, you're not getting sick, and you have a safe trip.
Cool. Really enjoy your videos.
I live in Ohio. Your not too late to see fall colors the tree leaves have just begun to turn colors you will love it Safe Travels sir
