    Robert, anytime you are in West Texas again you should consider visiting Palo Duro Canyon and Caprock Canyon state parks. They are pretty close to each other and offer camping and easy to moderate hiking trails. I recommend the light house trail at palo duro and the john haynes ridge overlook trail to the fern cave at caprock canyon. They are arguably both in the top 3 of all state parks in Texas. True gems, I have been out there more times than I can count.

    I always like it when you are "driving to the west in your RV" Loved seeing all of the small Texas towns, and of course the replica of a Jesus's tomb. White Sands looks amazing, hope to go there in the near future. By the way, when you reach Arizona do yourself a favor and do not go for a hike!

    Robert -
    My wife and I have throughly enjoyed the whole traveling series you've made with your wife.
    This West series of January 2023 while in New Mexico at the famed Carlsbad Caverns brings in a memory of "trivia" if you will, the Hollywood film sc-fi classic of French novelist, Jules Verne: "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1959), that starred the late British actor, James Mason; a young 20 something singer/actor, Pat Boone. Also beautiful European actress, Arlene Dahl. That movie is one of my favorites that was filmed alot at Carlsbad.
    I have the GoPro 9 camera and the "Media-Mod" and many attachments to carry the camera.
    The white sands on your travel - Is it "Lawrence of Arabia" ? ... another top favorite of mine? Maybe one of Eastwood's famous " Spaghetti Westerns" like " The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" [1966] ("...and so Blonde, it's goodbye.") lol!
    We sure hope you and the Mrs. heal quickly and get back on the road.
    Oh...love the newer music you added in last year.

    White sands was my playground growing up. Would do day trips to Cloudcroft then down to white sands. Yes Gila is pronounced the spanish way. Thanks for the great video, I didn't know there was overnight parking at Walmart in Almo. Happy trails

    If I may suggest a place to visit in Texas. It would be to explore the Hill Country of Texas more. I’m from Marble Falls Texas and it is beautiful there. The Hill Country of Texas definitely deserves more of a look. Do your research, I’m sure you would be welcomed and treated right.

    Robert, I just arrived in Alamogordo today. Parked at the KOA and turned on your latest video you just posted 13 hours ago! We are following your tract. Came up through Texas, stayed at Brantley Lake State Park and went to Carlsbad Caverns yesterday and going to White Sands tomorrow. We have a 2023 Winnebago 2108TB. You influenced our purchase. We are normally in South Florida this time of year but Hurricane Ian kept us out of our home for now. We decided to try a RV road trip for a couple months. Headed to Arizona and California. We will keep following you, just now a month later. Keep traveling! Thanks!

    In May of 2018, we got locked down in the Visitor Center of Carlsbad Caverns due to a tornado warning. It's a pretty impressive cave! Also, White Sands is just a magical place to visit. We had a really good time there!

    Hello from Ft Worth, Tx. Just found you on television from 2019 so I looked you up on TH-cam. Love your videos. BTW there is an awesome sight in Groom, Tx of the Stations of the Cross. Great place to stop if you ever go on Interstate40 and historic Route 66.

    Robert what say you about the new policy of no TH-cam or TicTok filming in the National Parks?? Yankees in the South/TH-cam have a video about this subject.

    • @TravelingRobert
      @TravelingRobert  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Everybody seems to ignore the next sentence in the NPS website "The primary focus of the NPS, however, is on commercial filming that has the potential to impact park resources and visitors beyond what occurs from normal visitor use of park areas. "

    Excellent sunset off I-10, due south of Carlsbad is Van Horn/Kent TX. Exit at Kent, drive 30 . up the mtn. to McDonalds Observatory next 15 min. to Ft Davis Natl. Park, then Alpine, and finally 2 hr drive to Del Rio TX. Park your RV at Governors Point, a high spot next to the lake, and along side the railroad bridge then watch the sun set through and beneath the bridge and glassy waters of Amistad Lake.

    Since you said you would be returning... here are a couple more things in the Cloudcroft area.... In the 1980s I went to an Apple Festival in October in High Rolls, (I see they have a cherry festival in June), and there's National Solar Observatory and Sacramento Peak in Sunspot NM, 3010 Coronal Loop, Sunspot, NM . Either up there or somewhere along the way I remember being high enough to look out and see White Sands in the distance.

    Is anyone pulling a 2108fbs with an Anderson WD hitch? I would like to order a hitch, but don't have the frame dimension. Anderson has a 4-3/8" or 3,4,5,6 variety. Thanks for any information anyone might have. Jim

    I live in Alamogordo. Been here 5 years now, love it. So, you stayed at the Walmart on 1st street, could have had a nicer stay at the Walmart on Indian Wells and near Scenic Drive and visited the Space History Museum and had a better view! Carlsbad Caverns are awesome. Whitesands is just beautiful, peacful and awe inspiring. My big black Lab and I go there often. Cloudcorft is a neat placee, too bad you didn't stop there. Actually Trinity Site is about 77 miles From Alamogordo.

    Ro-Mo! I love the desert! AZ and NM. I e not heard good things about NM but I like it, plus I can get to CO and AZ easily. Cheaper to live too. I’m looking at places in south AZ. I work for airline, not a lot of money, but really thinking of leaving Texas. I’m from CA but have been in TX almost 20 years. I love mountains and ocean, but there’s something about the desert! I know you like it too. What are some desert places you’d consider living??

    Great video as always. Always admire your bravery, but driving in the ice towing a trailer may have been a little too brave; but glad you pulled it off. I watch a towing YTer in the Smokies (Everything Autos) and he's pulling 4WD trucks off the sides of roads in icy weather all the time.

    All those Police cruisers at Aquila Flats was probably where they get Breakfast or Lunch. First time went to Uncle Kenny's BBQ at Clermont there were a lot of Police vehicles from Osceola, Polk and Lake counties. Similar at a Diner at the Loop in Kissimmee.

      It is very nice that Texas and other states allow overnight parking. We just did some of that on the trip back east. Some of the ones in Texas are tiny and overcrowded though.

  • @RedHeart64
    @RedHeart64 ปีที่แล้ว

    FYI - a recent discovery of human footprints at White Sands clearly shows that human beings were in the area at least 23,000 years ago. I don't have the journal article in front of me, so I can't check, but I think that they were found on alkali flats.

    Lived and worked at the Airforce base there at Alamogordo for a few years..... you're lucky your wheels weren't stolen off your truck while parked there at Walmart. My Cuban Wife hated living there for a number of reasons. Sand storms and swamp coolers being 2 of them. great video as always.
