We had a great time at the Corvette Museum on our first trip to Bowling Green. The Corvette Factory Tour was the most interesting stop of our trip.
Funny, I envisioned the GOO on the downtown strip of Nashville in an older part of town. It has always been on my bucket list. I wish I'd known you were headed to Kentucky! A very kind young man has a great place called The Hippie Hut. He has some great food concoctions he's come up with on his own. Oh, and if this YT thing doesn't pan out, I think you should try out for narrating National Geographic documentary's :). Glad to ride along with y'all on this wonderful journey.
Good morning, Friends! You always make me hungry.. and I love it. I'm loving the Grech. Thanks for bringing us along. Hope you have an amazing week. Safe travels! 🙏❤️Jane in SC
Hi, we are getting a new rv this Friday. traded the fifth wheel in. Was getting to be a lot to handle. Got a smaller travel trailer. Have fun!
I had a class A motorhome for a few years, but sold it long ago. My wife and I are retiring and thinking about getting a 5th wheel to travel the country for a couple months at a time. Are you suggesting that a 5th wheel might be to big of a hassle to travel the states? I was thinking the interior room would be well worth the trouble?
👉🚐👍 You need to write a travel book on where to get the best cookie’s, donuts, and of course “PIE”. 😊 Have you ever driven the Natchez Trace, it start’s at Nashville to Natchez Miss., a must drive, +/- 500 Miles.
Not a bad idea! 🤓👍🏻
Yes but not the entire drive.
We have family in Bowling Green! My favorite area of Kentucky and the caves are spectacular. So glad y’all got to see them.
Yall have gotten to be one of our favorites. We enjoy your videos.
🧡😊🤓
That gluten free donut looked like a hockey puck. 😂 Great video guys. Hope you are well.
😂
This is a fabulous video , I’m claustrophobic so would never have been able to see this on my own❤️
Next time you make it to Nashville go to see the ORIGINAL Grand Ol’ Opry and do the tour.
That hybrid between croissant and doughnut is called a "cronut" in California.
What a history lesson. Thanks again, enjoyed so much!
The most used phrase by RVers- "we don't have time."
Isn't that that purpose of RV/5TH Wheels?
Probably depends on a persons/couples schedule…we’re not all the same
Try Havarti and dill cheese. So good! That donut of Michele's looked delicious. Mammoth Cave and campground are awesome. Do they still have you sit down on benches in one of the rooms, and then turn off the light in order to experience total darkness? Corvette Museum is just ok.
Havarti is the cheese we always get at. Costco. He did turn the lights off once.
Thank you for sharing clips of the Grand Ole Opry and the cave was so cool! You all are really enjoying having a van which allows you to be more self contained. I’m looking at a Solis Pocket!!!! Can’t wait!
I was 11 when my family went through the caves that was 68 years ago. I was saddened to hear that there were no stalagmites and stalactites for you guys to see. There were huge rooms of them when we were there. What a great memory for me.
It must depend on what area of the cave system, because they said there has never been any in the areas we went through, due to the cave being protected so far underground with no water dripping through the ceiling of the caves, (which is what creates them) so maybe they had changed the route of the tour that used to go through an area that came up closer to ground level or something. We’re not sure. 🤷♂️ 🤷♀️
Mammoth is awesome. If I remember correctly we visited the "tuberculosis hospital" underground in the cave system. Starlink arrived 10 minutes ago so I'll be getting ready to hit the road soon. See ya.
Love it when you go places we've been! We love Nashville. ❤️
Hey guy we just got back from an adventure in Pennsylvania and trying to catch up with our favorite TH-camrs. You triggered some great memories visiting Mammoth cave. As always enjoying you travels. Loved seeing how you edited the the visitor center and cave
No caves for me. I like being above ground. :) I think I'd love the Opry though.
Great video. Thanks Brian and Michelle. Donuts looked delicious! Love your voice over during the cave part Brian! Safe travels!
Nice adventure. The donut was my favorite.
Yes, it is so nice to have everything eith us and stop at a whim.
So glad you took the time to tour Mammoth Cave. As a midwesterner, we love having it so close.
Thanks for another great video! Loving the videos because you are showing so much of the travel days and places you stop. My husband and I laughed when you guys were talking about the gluten free. He usually gets a ton of snacks/ desserts and I just watch because I’m gluten free. Those donuts looked great! We used to watch RV you Tube videos and always wonder why everyone “didn’t have time” to see or do certain things when traveling. We went full time 10 months ago and now understand much better! Again, thanks for your hard work and putting out great content!
The Grand Old Opra is on my bucket list. Thanks for the tour. Those donuts looked really yummy. You got a point with having everything with you so you don't have to return to an RV park to change, etc. Happy trails!
So much fun!! Would love to explore that cave AND that bakery! 😂😂. Safe travels! Enjoy the grandkids when you get home! ❤️
I had to laugh. I had the captioning on because it's a little noisy where I am and when you said "Grand Ole Opry" it came up "random robberies". Great tour of the cave. Maybe I'll make it there one day but don't know about all the stairs. Be safe.
😂 Gotta love TH-cams captioning. Takes way too long to manually correct everything, so like others, we just leave it and hope people will figure out it’s occasional errors.
I don’t think I could do the cave tour… it looked as though there were some tight places to walk through and I’m somewhat claustrophobic. 😳😬
Mammoth Caves was a great stop. It is huge and would take days just to see a small portion. I went 15 years ago with intentions of going back, but haven’t made it. There are many smaller caves in the area- part of the huge cave system.
Next time, do the Corvette museum 😉
We visited Mammoth Cave during Covid, a self-guided tour. We clearly saw a lot less than you guys on your tour. We’ll have to go back!
Next time you come through Bowling Green, Kentucky. Bowling Green is home to many exciting adventures and places. If the Corvette Plant is open to do tours, I highly recommend you do this as well as the the Corvette Museum. I also recommend Lost River Cave in BG.
If we ever get back up that way we gotta give that bakery a try. As you know we did the Corvette museum and next time you should give it a look. Thanks for the video and continued safe travels !!!
We keep hearing it is worth a stop. Wish we had more time to do both while traveling through.
Thanks for sharing the cave visit ..won't catch me in there. Yikes. I have been in a couple of caves. That one is huge. Be safe guys!
Great video and indeed what a great time you guys had. Safe travels
Great video! But dang, those monster doughnuts made me want some Belgian waffles for lunch! See ya next week! Safe travels.
We left Nashville last week and are currently in Leitchfield Kentucky!!! Its so beautiful here, we are going to a winery this evening here in Leitchfield
Good to see the caves (and other National Parks) open again.
Agree! 👍🏻😊🤓
Another good video. Thank you.
Love when you go places I have been! Mammoth is one one of those. Thank you for making another Saturday!!😀
🧡😊🤓
Love your music.! Toe tapping! Thanks for your work!
Those donuts looked delish!
We live in southern Indiana and have been to all those places, you made great decisions, Mammoth is awesome.
What a great video with lots of content! I want to return to the Grand Ole Opry. I have only been once as a kid so it’s time. Safe travels!
You have to see the Corvette museum, great tour. Who did you see at the Grand Ol Opry ? You have the ability to change your plans with ease with van. Your back on track with the donuts. Stay safe 😎🤓🥸
Nobody we recognized, it was just for the experience. We had a timeframe that we had to get back to Iowa in time for Mother’s Day and make all of our other stops. That’s why we had to make some plan changes along the way. If we did something else, we would of had to give up something. Seems easy on the other end not getting the entire picture we’re sure.
Enjoy your posts, evolving RV life 😎
Live your narrations!
Meant love your narrations!
Just watched your video where you are in Iowa. I too , was born in Centerville , Iowa . A great town.
Very small world! 😊🤓
We were just at Mammoth Caves and the corvette museum a month ago. We loved both of them. Sorry we missed you
We’re sorry we missed you too!
I love Nashville. Have not been to the Grand Ole Opry but it is on my list. Enjoyed this video and Mammoth Cave. Don’t know if I have the endurance to do that one or not. I’ve been to many caves already. Be safe and keep on keeping on.
Those donuts look awesome! Not sure about the caves. Some tight spots! Safe travels!
Cool seeing your video. We are in housekeeping in Nashville RV park right now ❤️ hope you enjoyed your stay here
We most certainly did! 👍🏻🧡😊🤓
5 Daughters is 5he best! We would go back to Nashville just for those donuts.
We can see why! 🤤 🤓
Good morning you 2 from a warm Arizona
Good morning! ☀️
One of the places you missed is the Gaylord Hotel. It is a city in it's self. You can spend a day there and still need to go back. we loved going there when our f=daughter lived in Franklin.
We actually parked over there, we just didn’t plan accordingly and ran out of time. We’ve heard about it. We stayed at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, TX about 12 years ago. They are beautiful! This one in Nashville is mamouth!
Omg that bakery is the best! We had their vegan ones and yummo!!
😋 They are SO good! 🤓
Nashville, the bars shut down at 4 AM! Sorry we are older and do not keep up. 8PM apple pie is the latest we can do with you two ( before checking in to the Marriot near Broadway!
No way were we going to stay until 4AM! 😂 Having the one night to check off another bucket list place was good enough for us. 😊🤓
Welcome to Louisville, we are 35 miles N/E out in the country. Hope you love it here.
We were there just a few short hours but we did enjoy that short visit. Hopefully we’ll get back there again and get the privilege of meeting y’all.
We were at Mammoth Cave Monday and Tuesday.
This was over a month ago for us. Hope y’all enjoyed it! 😊🤓
Thank you again for taking us along on your adventures. Are you going to try to see the Ark Encounter & Creation Museum in norther Kentucky sometime in the future? I've had so many friends who visited it and highly recommend it.
We hope to see it the next time through there.
If you like mammoth cave you would love Luray Caverns. It’s in Virginia. It’s referred to as the most beautiful cavern on the east coast. I recommend it the next time you are Virginia… I use to work there 😉 I would have never guessed Brian liked those donuts, his face did not look like he enjoyed them 😂
Thanks for the recommendation.
The funny thing is, when I was editing that video, I too thought my expression looked as if I didn’t like them. 😂 I was really trying to determine and think through all the gluten free donuts I have ever had, wondering how to rate them. Lol But yea, they were very good for gluten free.
Extraction…? I laughed. 😆😆😆
🤮 🤓
Keto-ish "sandwich" of just cheese and meat ... that's a Tony Soprano sandwich! HA! :D
Well how fitting since Brian is Italian.🤓 Gosh, we loved that show!
I love watching the progression of different RVs. My husband wants to do this in a few years when he retires. Did you start off with the largest RV to make the transition easier? Who was the most hesitant??
We thought it would be easier to start larger and work down but we never knew in the beginning that we would actually be in a van this soon. It’s been an amazing way to travel and so convenient.
What's up guys John and Linda sollazzo new york spent the weekend at yogi bear campground in miltin pa heading to spring Gulch campground Monday where we will get donuts at shadymaple keep in touch ❤️
I want #9. Please. We stayed at the same RV resort. It was our first introduction to Mission BBQ. Great food and patriotism.
Go to Bardstown KY. Bourbon capitol of the world. Tons of distillery s there. We went to Lux distillery. Cute town south of Louisville
We seen a bunch throughout the map of Kentucky, so we chose a couple we wanted to go to and then ran out of time and missed them both while traveling through. 😂 Hopefully next time. 😊🤓
I grew up in Bardstown. The Steven Foster Story musical held at the outdoor amphitheater at My Old Kentucky Home State Park is a must see!!
Show us some typical “home cooked” meals!
Another great video!! I held my breath through the whole cave part!! So claustrophobic!!
We still watch every week....fully retired now. Got our truck and 5th wheel. We will catch up to you again on the road. Jim and Pam (Hershey Show Sept 2021) 🤗😊
Hope to see you both on the road!! 🧡😊🤓
Did you eat at Hattie Bs? Great chicken
We did not, we’ve heard a lot about it though.
Great video were your dounuts as good Dunkin?
Much better! 🤓👍🏻
So you like having the class B while you adventure around the various cities because everything (your home) is with you. But overall, how does it compare to the airstream, or even the class A for overall living experience? Do you miss the room found in the other rigs?
That’s just it, you can go in a continuous circle comparing each Class of RV and you will always find something you like more about one over the other. It all boils down to what matters most to you. We have enjoyed the experience with a big Class A, pulling an Airstream and now we are enjoying the conveniences of traveling much easier and being able to see more in less time. Less room, but so many benefits.
I've never been to The Grand Ol Opry. You did a great job showing the theater. Thanks
Where is your Coffee.....
In our bellies lol
We have a B van and I’m curious how you can shop Costco and fit those items in? We shop Costco when we’re home, but on the road we use Walmart.
It probably has to do with the things we buy at Costco compared to what other people buy there that have a van and also what we take with us compared to what other people take in their van. If we all had the same storage and took the exact same things and amounts and bought the same things at Costco, then we could understand the confusion.
I'm interested to know what brand of ham you use that doesn't have nitrates?
There are a few brands but Hormel makes one called “Natural Choice” that looks like a small cardboard package.
I loved the Hermitage (Andrew Jackson's home) and CM Hall of Fame. When I was last there Opryland was still full go with lots of shows and rides in the park. Sadly it is all gone now.
😔
We would like to get a Class B but are afraid of the small holding tanks. Is that a problem?
It’s not been an issue. To save time explaining why through text, we’re going to have to refer you back to the video where we give a tour of this Class B.
Looking at getting a new Grech strada. Do you recommend ion batteries over generator? Thanks
If cost is not a factor, definitely. No loud noise from generator, you can use the batteries in places where generators are not allowed, no fuel needed. The Strada-Ion or any of the Grech RV Ion packages are so nice. When we stop somewhere and get out to go do something and it is hot outside, we just let the ac run while we are gone. When you drive it charges back up. We definitely have been loving the lithionics Ion package in the Strada.
I always thought about getting a class B but do you find it difficult to travel without a tow car? I mean it’s easy to go places with a class B, park anywhere you want but let’s say you were staying at a campground for a few days and you get all set up. The next day you wanna go exploring now you have to unhook everything do what it is that you’re going to do for the day come back hopefully your spot is still available nobody just took it and have to re-set up again. Have you gone through that? Or how do you work around not having a tow car
We’ve actually talked about this in past videos…the tear down is so simple and quick. You only have the water hose and electric cord. The sewer hose is already in the retractable reel. We don’t leave the sewer hose out and only take it out when we drain tanks and use the electric reel to put it right back. If you have a tow car, then you just defeated some of the purpose of the van with the shorter length to get into certain places when traveling and making stops. We really started to realize how nice this has been after traveling in this Class B.
But then again, we all sometimes have different things that are more important to us all…that’s what has worked for us and a big reason why we have been enjoying it so much.
bluebird cafe
Welp...Thats the first time I seen someone eat a donut with a fork...lol...
😂🤓
Do you find you're visiting more places with class b than the trailer or 5th wheel?
Yes, much easier to stop along the way and see things.
Just asking, WHO EATS A DONUTS with a fork.
✋🤓
I need the carb free donut
Did y'all go to the Pyramid?
We did not…
Hello I've tried to watch this caravan and I'm not liking it .it seems like You're videos have changed I've been watching you for a couple of years. I know it's only been little over a month. We'll see where it goes just thought I'd give You my 2 cents?
It’s ok, we realize you can never please 100% of everyone’s liking. Things will constantly change and there will always be some that do and some that don’t like and appreciate what we share. We just keep focusing on now and do our thing. 👍🏻😊🤓
My only criticism is less donuts, more van 😂😂😂
😂👍🏻🤓
You should have gone to Paula Dean’s Restaurant. Just past the Grand Ole Oprey.
