Crater Lake island... That is Wizard Island. It is the top of the volcano that dropped into the caldera after the mountain blew it's top. It is considered sacred by numerous tribes from the area. The lake is one of the deepest in the world and the water is some of the cleanest in the country. Beautiful area, when not surrounded by wild fires.
I live in Vancouver, WA and I'd love to go to Crater Lake. I gotta do that soon before I move east of here. Which I plan to do soon due to this place is becoming unpleasant.
@@donnabert I'm from Coos Bay, on the Oregon coast, but moved to the Midwest a few years ago for cost of living. Glad I made the drive around the loop at Crater Lake before leaving because that natural beauty is sorely lacking in the grain belt. Worth the drive.
@@atominthe541 I will remember that. I'm from Iowa and plan to move back for the cost of living. I've check it out and the equivalent of our 650,000 rental house is about 300K in Iowa. Plus all my aging relatives who need me and I think I need them!! My family will definitely check out Crater Lake before we leave.
New Orleanian native and third generation. Gumbo is a thick base soup. Can be brown or red, with tomatoes. Gumbo ingredients can be many varieties. Seafood, wild game, chicken/sausage, or many more. Cajun fill their Gumbo with anything or everything of leftovers from the fridge. Seek youtube for Gumbo recipes for the Southern Louisiana American way. Variety is the spice of life. Enjoy yall
Was checking the comments to see if anyone talked about gumbo. I always thought it was just a kind of a stew with all kinds of edible stuff thrown into a big pot. XD
Just remember that if you go to Yellowstone NP that even though the American Bison (buffalo) are used to people, they are still WILD ANIMALS. Please don’t try to pet one like it’s a puppy dog. We like your reaction vids!
My brother and I, like our sister, had a choice to go on a big trip when we’d graduated high school. Our sister did too. She visited Alaska with our parents. My bro and I, visited the Grand Canyon to see the view. It was beyond stunning. We went by train across the states and the scenery was beautiful. One stop, was Sante Fe. It’s a beautiful city, a must visit if you’re a lover of art. So much history and color in that city.
WOW... The number 5 entry totally confuses the town of Keystone, SD (where Mount Rushmore is located) with Keystone in Colorado (which is a ski resort)! ABSOLUTELY not the same place. Not even close...
haha! I'm glad I wasn't the only one to catch that. Both spots are worth a visit though. I think i've been to every spot listed other than Crater Lake.
I was going to come here to say that! This is one of the worst channels for crap information. None of these were even road trips and then they were wrong about what's there.
The village of the Grand Canyon is small. My husband and his brothers used to terrify any visitors from back East by running full stop to the edge and jumping off. They knew there was a path just below but to the adults it looked as if they had just jumped to their death. And before someone comes for me in the replies, I am OLDER than you. This was in the early 1970s before all the safety modifications. Lol
Crater Lake is a volcanic crater lake in south-central Oregon. Gumbos fall into three categories, Seafood Gumbo, Gumbo Z’herbs and Meat Gumbos. Creole gumbo generally contains shellfish and a dark roux, filé, or both. Cajun gumbo is generally based on a dark roux and is made with shellfish or fowl. Sausage or ham is often added to gumbos of either variety.
When the top blew off the volcano that island was what lava pushed up after it was finishing the eruption. From what I remember it is also massively deep around the island.
From New Orleans… Gumbo is cooked, no raw fish. Yes, Bourbon Street in the French Quarter is pretty much always like that. I wouldn’t go to Armstrong Park. But do go to the Moon walk, Pat O’Brian’s, Mardi Gras museum, and Cafe du Monde.
I have literally, been to every single one of them. I've resided in both Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as, New Orleans, Louisiana. I also used to live about 112 miles from Grand Canyon Village, in Sedona, Arizona. I've been to the Grand Canyon about 18 times, and yes, Havasu Falls has turquoise blue water, and, is definitely worth the trek to get there. With the exceptions of Crater Lake, and Atlantic City, I've down all the rest multiple times. When you come to the US and you're looking for good food, Santa Fe, and New Orleans, are both among the top 5 best Cities for food in the entire nation, and Memphis isn't that far behind. I'm retired now, so, when you come to the States, I'd be more than happy to play tour guide.
I’d look into Moab Utah and Blue Ridge Parkway too. We recently went to both. Very different, both amazing. For the Blue Ridge Parkway we drove it in North Carolina. We stayed in an Air BnB in Burnsville, NC (near Asheville) on the side of a mountain. Moab is in Utah and has Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. We went mountain biking at Slick Rock and stayed overnight in a cave hotel. Also loved Seattle, but there is so much more to do than just the city proper and to do in the city than shown here.
Crater Lake National Park is open year round. Right now there is a lot of road construction that closes two of the roads until 2027 or 2028. And a fire that has closed another road. Always check whatever park you wish to visit BEFORE you fly or drive to the area. The snow in winter is almost measured in yards or meters, no light dustings need apply.
It really depends on what sort of a trip you want to have. You can have incredibly educational trips, ot party 'til you drop trips. The only advice I can give you is to pick a region and explore that region, unless you have several months to travel and absolutely avoid the Summer months throughout the USA. While an area like I live in has some beautiful Summer days, we also just had a full week of dark rainy days where the temps were around 30 degrees Celsius. It was miserable and that is always a possibility. And under no circumstance should you consider visiting any northern state in the Winter. You will be miserable. You do not have the clothes, or the gear to deal with it. Where I live, it isn't known for really bad Winter weather. Our normal daily temp is between -6 and -10 Celsius, . . . not counting "wind chill". Wind Chill is the thing that can slice though your heavy British Winter Coat as if it was a thread bare cardigan. We often get 1 meter of snow falling during a storm and we are NOT in a "snow belt". There is a snow belt south of us and they regularly get up to a meter of snow in a normal snow fall. You are not going to be able to drive in the snow and we have absolutely no viable passenger trains, nor reliable public transportation outside metropolitan areas. And on the transportation note, remember what you consider a long road trip ia an American's daily commute. I recall a group of young Brits touring the USA. They had a map and wanted to put a sticker on the map for every place they traveled. After the first day's travel, they pulled out their map of the state to place the sticker. We had traveled less than 2 centimeters, . . . in about 4 hours travel. We had barely made it out of the county.
In 1995 I was at the opening ceremony of the "new" bridge at 2:20, it was pretty cool there was an old guy there who had been at the opening of the first one too in 1929. If you search "Navajo Bridge" there's a wikipedia article on it.
A tip for your trip to Orlando: March to May is considered to be the best time to visit because of the pleasant weather, which is usually in the high 50s to high 80s, and reasonable prices on travel and lodging. Late April to early June also has similar temperatures and low rainfall.
I’ve lived in San Diego and Orlando. I disagree, FL parks are better. In general it’s way easier to drive around and park. Beaches are better if you choose to do that as well. I will concede that FL is way more humid. But, I’ve since moved away from both CA and FL. Went back to CA once (despite it being a couple states away for many many years) and instead chose to go back to FL many a times to vaca. Although, if I looking for a non-theme park or non-beach outdoor trip, my go-tos have been UT and CO. Beautiful, nice weather, good hiking spots with pretty scenery, and fun mountains for snowboarding/skiing.
I live about 70 miles from Crater Lake, don't go in the winter. The snow can get up to 15 feet deep. It is best to wait till July. Then you can take the rim drive all the way around the lake. Plan on a whole days trip from the nearest airport.
@@clemdane There is a trail on the far side of the lake, it goes down about a quarter mile. There is a boat there that will take you out to the island. Getting back up is the hardest part, it's a steep climb.
3:00 I've done the mule trip. At first it is scary, but after a couple of hours, you get used to it. There is a guide in the front who will pause the ride if they spot anything a mule might spook at. Remember, the mule doesn't want to die either. But definitely don't do it if you are afraid of heights, afraid of horses/mules (Duh!), or have weak legs. Once you relax and can enjoy the views, it is really spectacular.
Motels… you must know that the IS is so large with many roads that go for miles without seeing a town or city, so along these roads you will occasionally come across a motel and gas station. They are welcome sites as you might imagine. And many are a giant step back in time.
Some of these would not be my pick. Yellowstone is great but go off season to avoid all the crowds. Went went in October near the end where they close up the hotel and saw lots of wildlife and interesting geysers. Fun! Same with Orlando…don’t go in the summer…it’s too hot in FL. See the Grand Canyon. Rains a lot in Seattle except maybe summer.
Um.. It's extremely busy all year long. Be prepared to wait in hour long plus lines for each ride. Besides, summer is just a time to sweat through your clothes so much you need a wardrobe change! You'll be at almost 100 *F and then add the humidity to it and you're at 115 plus. It's miserable.
"We don't have the motels like you guys do," struck me with a 'thank-goodness' felling as that wreath on railing hangs at the spot where civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated back in 1968. The motel now is part of the National Civil Rights Museum.
Yeah, i was gonna say “You don’t want to stay at that motel, somebody was killed there.” Kids don’t know much of history, even they have access to everything about it. But I don’t think they teach American Civil Rights in the UK.
@@robynbeach3198 Well I'm 54 and I live on the west coast and of course I know all about MLK, his speeches, his mission, his movement, and it's awesome. But I don't believe I've ever seen that particular shot of the motel. I think if you live in that state or neighboring states it's a big deal, like etched in your mind (like it is now in mine) but I'm not young, just didn't recognize it from that shot.
@@robynbeach3198 If you’ve watched enough of his videos, you’ll see that there’s a ton of stuff he doesn’t know, and not just about history but about EVERYTHING. We complain about the crappy educational system in the US, but apparently it’s pretty crappy in the UK, too. I can’t speak for his parents and what they did or did not teach him, but as a parent myself, my kid is very smart and I made sure to teach him everything I could think of and always asked him if he knew what something was or what it was that was being referenced on TV or anywhere, to make sure he knew what was meant and wasn’t just making something up in his head. I made sure he watched lots of documentaries and PBS and even saw tons of pop culture so he would “get it” and not give me a blank stare. But I don’t think this dude even reads his comment very often so he can learn about all those things that baffle him in every video he reacts to. Because some of the things that baffle him just boggles my mind and makes me facepalm.
Louisiana native.. There is multiple kinds of gumbo. Chicken & sausage, seafood which has shrimp, crab, sometimes crawfish and other stuff both are pretty good. But find a place that does chicken and sausage gumbo if you want to try it without seafood
If you want an Orlando field trip, but want to explore more than one "culture," start in Atlanta Georgia. Get some history and great southern cooking and bbq. Drive south a bit to Savannah Georgia. The only southern city to survive the Civil War. Great architecture, fun vibe, great food. Then just go south along the coast. Maybe stop at St Augustine Florida to see the oldest fort in America, the lighthouse, and architecture of Flagler College. If you time it right, you can go just another 15 minutes south and see a launch from the Cape (like SpaceX). Drive along Daytona Beach. Experience the "salt life." Florida before Disney. Maybe check out the NASCAR track. Then turn into the state to Orlando. Walt Disney World is an experience in itself. Complete immersion. It could be literally anywhere in the world, because once you're in, everything you see, hear, feel, taste, smell is designed by Disney. That's why I recommend that "road trip," and I've broken it into easy day drives (just a couple of hours). You get a couple different types of people and cultures that live in the US, topped by a Mickey Mouse cherry.
@@lorireed8046 My fist thought was to start near Asheville, so he could get some southern Appalachian history and food, but Atlanta is easier for foreigners to fly into. My husband's brother's wife (my in-law) and family go to Pigeon Forge every year. I prefer Asheville just because I love the Grove Park Inn & Spa. So different than any hotel I've stayed in.
I’ve been to Orlando, did the Disney thing. Been to universal, but in Los Angeles. Busch Gardens was pretty cool in Florida. Also been to Yellowstone, twice love it. I could honestly live there and be happy. It’s so beautiful, and so many chances to see wildlife.
Easiest way to remember which (American) Disney is which: A World is bigger than a Land, and the smaller park came first. :) Disney started in California, and Disney Land, the first park, is there. Disney wanted something bigger, so be bought swampland in Florida to build Disney World (which, big as it is, amazingly, is actually smaller than he originally intended it to be!)
Born and raised in New Orleans . There is always something going on in the French Quarter and there are ALWAYS some kind of festival going on year round. And there are MANY different types of food to choose from . But if you want to get away from the fast paced city, you can go along the river and explore plantation homes and other settlements along the Mississippi river. But to experience a huge party then you have to come down for Mardi Gras and catch some parades.
Take into consideration that Florida in the summer is hot, can be humid and there could be hurricaines. Better to go in the spring or fall. I'd like to recommend this trip up the Hudson River ( from N.Y.City). Its a day trip on The Circle Line ( ferry) and goes north up the Hudson River to West Point. This is the same route between the high cliffs of the Palisaides.up the N.E. coasts of N.J. and N.Y. State and the British navy took during the Revolutionary War to fight our militia. West Point is where our cannons rained cannon balls down on the Brits and pummeled their ships. ( some cannons still remain there on the cliffs). It was the perfect place to attack and not be fired upon. West Point is where the U.S. Army has its military academy. You can visit there. Its a beautiful trip to take from late Spring through to Fall.
#5 LOL!! Major blooper. Oh well. I'm sure Keystone SD loves the boost & probably is lovely. New Orleans French Quarter is a great deal like that many times. Gumbo isn't just seafood. Skip the seafood gumbo & get the sausage or chicken gumbo.
Lewis: "We have hotels, but not motels." A motel is a 'motor hotel', The US is such a mobile population, that in the 30-40's and beyond, people wanted drive to their room, instead of dealing with a porter or bellboy and stairs or an elevator.
Santa Fe is one of the most beautiful cities I've been to. It's an artist paradise The food is amazing . But ever I've city I've visit the food has been good ... the Civil Rights Museum is an awesome place to visit . Most of these places I've been to and had a grand time at all of them ... Orlando is Disney World, the larger one . Yes, New Orleans is a party city so fun.
Hey Lewis, you gotta make sure you build up enough WALKING STAMINA if you really want to explore Yellowstone. Seriously, it is a lot of walking if you really want to see the good stuff in the national parks.
Interesting, just before I watched your video I was looking up passes and hotel rooms at WDW for myself. Gumbo is awesome, cooked fish, shrimp, crawfish, okra, veggies in a spicy flavorful broth. Louisina has some of the best food in the world.
These aren't road trips, but vacation spots. A road trip, for example, would be driving US 1 along the Pacific coast, stopping to sightsee along the way. I remember a family road trip where we drove from New York state to New Orleans. Another where we went from Rochester, NY to the east coast and up to Maine. Yet another when we drove to the Hudson Bay.
Lewis, the entire crater at C. Lake is as a result of Mt. Mazama blowing up 7700 years ago, as was mentioned. Shaun and his wife went there a few years ago, but it was early in the season, even though the rest of the country was experiencing spring weather, up in that altitude, there was still snow on the ground. As a result of it being a volcanic crater, there are no rivers running in or out, so the water is pure and clear as can be, since it filled over a several hundred year period as a result of snow melt and rain. Santa Fe is also known for its annual hot air balloon festival--dozens and dozens of them in the air at the same time--quite a sight. Is there anything you're not scared of, dude? They've been running these daily mule tours at Grand Canyon for 100+ years, and I believe the stats say that NOBODY has ever died because the mule they were riding lost its balance. Mules are probably the most sure-footed animal on the planet--far better than horses. On to the original subject: Grand Canyon Village is where the hotels/motels, grocery stores, post office, tour operators, etc. are located. In addition to what's been stated here about Nashville, it's also home to the largest Kurdish immigrant population in the country. The original Disney property, Disneyland, is in the LA suburb of Anaheim (ANN-uh-hime), but the biggest by far is in Orlando, and is, of course, Disney World. Have you thought about taking your nephews and nieces while they're young to "nearby" Eurodisney? When I visited New Orleans, I ate some local foods, but the majority of my time was on a swamp tour about 30 mi./48km. to the NE, which was amazing--alligators, Cajun swamp dwellers and their homes on the water--a very good use of my time there. At 10:09 in Yellowstone is (I'm sure you've seen it in previous videos) Grand Prismatic Spring. I've visited all the places here except for Crater Lake.
I just visited New Mexico and went to Santa Fe. Very pretty, didn’t stay too long, need to go back. I did enjoy Albuquerque. I will be going to Las Vegas in Oct. 2024 and going on a side trip to the Grand Canyon. Can’t wait. I do want to see England very much and Scotland.
Orlando FL is Disney World. When I lived there I didn't really think about Disney World. I have been to Disney World when I was a kid, and when I was in High School, but not as an adult and not when I lived in Orlando.
At 8:03 yep it's like that every time it's even more busy during Mardi Gra be careful adult fun come with adult things that happen especially on Mardi gra in New Orleans
The best thing in Seattle is the Space Needle it has the world's only revolving glass floor at 500 ft above the ground, if you're as afraid of heights as you are of bears I wouldn't recommend it!😂(There are some great videos about it on RUclips) PS that ski area must be on a cloud because the highest point in South Dakota is 7,244 ft.
As someone who lived in Seattle for twenty years, I'd tell people to skip Seattle. It is basically San Francisco without the charm. Portland is so much better. Of course they never mention my favorite thing in America: The Iowa State Fair, can't be beat by disney even. ruclips.net/video/RnY6lD-dd3s/видео.htmlsi=-I_J_LYhqc57oZGZ
Santa Fe, New Mexico has very good Mexican food. I'd highly recommend it. Went there on family vacations as a teenager and when I was in my early 20's. The chimichangas (especially with green sauce) are so good. If you're into art at all, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and the Chuck Jones Gallery is very nice. Chuck Jones was one of the old Looney Tunes animators.
New Mexico is the SouthWEST not the 'Southern" states so don't confuse it. Their food is delicious but it is southwestern food not "Southern" food like you are probably thinking. Biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, grits, chicken fried chicken and white gravy is very big in The "South" Eastern states. And don't forget the sweet tea.😁🌞
Southwest brings the great Mexican food. New Mexico, even though it has Mexico in it's name, has the great Native American food! If you like fried foods, you would love Fry Bread. 😋
Honestly, Id love to drive through, and spend time in Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA....Something about the history and the trees, and vegetation sounds amazing to me (I live in a semi-desert)
Orlando Right next to universal park is island of adventure and sea world. Also next to Disney worl is ebcot, anmial kingdom, and universal studios.There are so many more things to do in fla.
8:17 Yes, the French Quarter in New Orleans is constant party, but even more so during Mardi Gras. You can get chicken gumbo. You don't have to get shrimp. Regarding your other video today where they mentioned safety. Memphis and New Orleans have more unsafe areas than average. But if you keep to the tourist areas and don't do something stupid like trying to buy drugs, you'll be fine. Most violent crime is between gangs and usually drug related.
0:34 It is a volcano, Mount Mazama, part of the Cascades volcanic arc. Wizard island is a cinder cone. I mean, it is called Crater Lake, easier to say than Caldera Lake. 8:33 I'm willing to bet you've never had good shrimp. These are all great destinations but these are not road trips. The destination is at the end of the road trip and this video doesn't even say how to get to these places. My two suggestions are San Francisco to Redwood National Park via 101. Six hour beautiful road trip. You can keep going all the way to Seattle and it's all stunning. Take I-40 through to the Four Corners area, bits of old Route 66 and amazing landscapes. Start at Flagstaff (89 to 160) or further west, or Albuquerque (550 to 64) or further east. You will get a real feel for the West and American vast desert.
I lived around the four corners and never went! Funny enough the one time I decided to.... It was closed down. I never did learn why . They closed down Yellowstone National Park the second day of my vacation. The first day I just spent visiting the shops ..missed seeing it haaa haaaa My children laugh and joke "If Mom is going to your area for vacation you MIGHT want to worry. Things will start happening and places will close" We've had our fair share of gas station hotdogs for Christmas dinner!
I'm about to start a 5000 mile road trip, the entire way up the west coast along the US/ Canadian border and over to Maine. A roadtrip to at least 1 national park is a must while you're here
Orlando is Disney World California is Disney Land. Orlando is twice as big, plus has all the other parks. Costs a lot make sure you’re physically ready for it.
If anyone is interested in visiting Yellowstone, there's a YT channel that's actually for reviews of small kitchen appliances. Anita, the channel owner, took a trip to Yellowstone and posted a couple of great videos I would suggest viewing before making reservations for accommodations. She's budget friendly and gives so much information - really two of the best, most helpful videos I've seen. Just look back through her videos to mid-Sept and early Oct of 2023. (She also did one on Grand Teton a month or two later which you'll see when you look for the Yellowstone ones) I usually don't list other RUclipsrs on someone's channel as it seems rude, but since this is channel is generally totally unconnected, content-wise, but does offer these two useful videos, I'm mentioning it. Lewis, you can delete if you find it offensive I've listed another channel. The name of the channel is Bestkitchenreviews. She also has a cute cooking channel where she shows great Indian food and other American family recipes called Anita Cooks.
Suggest you realize that driving endless hours on two lane highways can get you some amazing views... but everything is hours apart. When I visit the UK, I usually go to the coach tour websites and see their itineraries. If I find one I like, I DO RESEARCH along that route and many of the smaller parks, museums, shooting ranges, famous restaurants, etc. are on the route, but don't or can't handle 50 people coming in the door at the same time. Yes, I have driven on the left side of the road (more like the middle in half of Scotland, Wales, or the Republic of Ireland). I have been on many tours. Some are great, you can sit by the window and film a lot of scenery while someone else drives. I taken about a dozen European tours, but I've also driven myself around (or taken the train from London to Lincoln - DO NOT TAKE OUR TRAINS, it's faster to drive yourself!). Anyway, tours are good value (including your lodging), but you miss a LOT of the smaller places. Ignore the State lines, and find a few National Parks or Monuments that you find interesting. Draw a circle around it, what else is there withing that circle? Do that all over an American map. Make lists of what you have seen in other videos, mark places/restaurants/sights of interest TO YOU on the map. Can you find a 250 km circle that takes in a dozen of those items on your list? Or expand it to 300 km... PLANNING is everything. When is hurricane season for that area (EVERY area has different seasons)? Tornadoes? When are the parks open? Yellowstone is open in the winter, but half the roads are closed. Try to avoid the Parks in the summer when EVERYBODY heads to them. Fall and spring are pretty good, but beware of spring break around Easter. You do not want the drunken students drinking & driving around you and hotels are FULL. Check for American 3 day weekends. Try to avoid them! Avoid San Diego during Comic-Con, people have to stay 100 miles from the place as every hotel room closer has been booked for months. Major festivals have the same problem across the nation. PLOT your list of INTEREST onto a national map. Do you find clusters? A great road trip is to do one of your clusters (and find other things, ask for suggestions for that area). Unless two clusters are really close to each other, don't over do it as you'll add a lot of hours of driving for little gain. There are THOUSANDS of places to see in America. Good luck!!!
I'm glad somebody finally mentioned Atlantic City. For the longest while, I've said that the most overlooked area in country was the Mid-Atlantic region. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia have some wonderful scenery, tremendous hiking spots, and tons of history. You've got the birthplace of this country in Philly, Virginia has the homes of Washington and Jefferson, you have D.C. and it's monuments, along with the casinos in Jersey. Everyone passes over it for New England or the Deep South. Folks don't know what they're missing!
BTW? Disney now owns Star Wars. Disney World Florida is mega expensive. And it's huge. Disneyland California is more compact, I've been to both, but more often here in California where I live.
Seems like mojo was off on a few aspects with this video. Most of these are destinations and not roadtrips per se, getting a picture of Tennessee for discussing Memphis, and the confusion of Keystone in Colorado and South Dakota. Personally if I did this video for road trips, I’d mention routes and the destinations a tourist is likely to see. Also, since you mentioned wanting Star Wars relations to theme parks (Disney World does Star Wars) I recommend if you do head towards Orlando, to make the time to go to the JFK NASA museum near Orlando.
If you want to see Star Wars buildings and stuff, you'll find that at Disney World in Florida. At least, it was there in January this year when my friends went.
While I do agree that Yellowstone and the adjoining Grand Teton National Park are “must see” places in the US…Lewis, please be mindful that Yellowstone has BEARS, lots and lots of BEARS!!! LOL…Both grizzly and the more common black bear😂
Lewis! You should do a reaction to the Disney World resorts!!!! Disney World is the big one in Florida, Disney Land is the smaller one in California. That would make a great reaction! I love Disney resorts! The Polynesian and Port Orleans are my favorites! Although the Aminal lodge and fort wilderness will blow your mind! ❤❤❤
I've always liked the Redwood Forest. Tree trunks so big you can drive a car through.
😂 The sign literally saying "Welcome to Nashville" while it's supposed to be Beale Street in Memphis is killing me 😂
Noticed and they never even showed Graceland. 😂
Mojo is notorious for sloppy research and editing, often missing large swaths of detail on the topics they cover. Mojo is trash.
😂
No that was Beale Street. BB Kings in on Beale Street
@@RN_soon2B_DNP there used to be a B.B. Kings on Broadway in Nashville. They did show Beale sometimes but that was clearly Broadway in Nashville.
In New Orleans, most places offer seafood gumbo or chicken and sausage gumbo if you're not a seafood person.

Ha! Good catch!
haha! I'm glad I wasn't the only one to catch that. Both spots are worth a visit though. I think i've been to every spot listed other than Crater Lake.
I thought that didn't look right!
I know! I was like WTH?! 🤪
I was going to come here to say that! This is one of the worst channels for crap information. None of these were even road trips and then they were wrong about what's there.
The village of the Grand Canyon is small. My husband and his brothers used to terrify any visitors from back East by running full stop to the edge and jumping off. They knew there was a path just below but to the adults it looked as if they had just jumped to their death. And before someone comes for me in the replies, I am OLDER than you. This was in the early 1970s before all the safety modifications. Lol
LoL!!!! FUNNY.
They sound awesome!
@@clemdane They are pretty awesome. I’ve got great in-laws
Crater Lake is a volcanic crater lake in south-central Oregon. Gumbos fall into three categories, Seafood Gumbo, Gumbo Z’herbs and Meat Gumbos. Creole gumbo generally contains shellfish and a dark roux, filé, or both. Cajun gumbo is generally based on a dark roux and is made with shellfish or fowl. Sausage or ham is often added to gumbos of either variety.
When the top blew off the volcano that island was what lava pushed up after it was finishing the eruption. From what I remember it is also massively deep around the island.
From New Orleans… Gumbo is cooked, no raw fish. Yes, Bourbon Street in the French Quarter is pretty much always like that. I wouldn’t go to Armstrong Park. But do go to the Moon walk, Pat O’Brian’s, Mardi Gras museum, and Cafe du Monde.
Disneyland is in California. Disney World is in Orlando. Universal is also there. I am going to both in October.
I have literally, been to every single one of them. I've resided in both Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as, New Orleans, Louisiana. I also used to live about 112 miles from Grand Canyon Village, in Sedona, Arizona. I've been to the Grand Canyon about 18 times, and yes, Havasu Falls has turquoise blue water, and, is definitely worth the trek to get there. With the exceptions of Crater Lake, and Atlantic City, I've down all the rest multiple times. When you come to the US and you're looking for good food, Santa Fe, and New Orleans, are both among the top 5 best Cities for food in the entire nation, and Memphis isn't that far behind. I'm retired now, so, when you come to the States, I'd be more than happy to play tour guide.
Not sure how Keystone, SD became Keystone, COLORADO in the winter, lol! Not the same at all !
yes there is a keystone in sd ,,, i was there
Hi, Listening to your excitement of my country just makes my day! Your videos are the best😊
I’d look into Moab Utah and Blue Ridge Parkway too. We recently went to both. Very different, both amazing. For the Blue Ridge Parkway we drove it in North Carolina. We stayed in an Air BnB in Burnsville, NC (near Asheville) on the side of a mountain. Moab is in Utah and has Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. We went mountain biking at Slick Rock and stayed overnight in a cave hotel. Also loved Seattle, but there is so much more to do than just the city proper and to do in the city than shown here.
0:26 Crater Lake is not accessible but three months out of the year. I don't know what she's talking about in the winter.
Crater Lake National Park is open year round. Right now there is a lot of road construction that closes two of the roads until 2027 or 2028. And a fire that has closed another road. Always check whatever park you wish to visit BEFORE you fly or drive to the area. The snow in winter is almost measured in yards or meters, no light dustings need apply.
@@dking1836 Last time I was there in 1990, it was not accessible in the winter
It really depends on what sort of a trip you want to have.
You can have incredibly educational trips, ot party 'til you drop trips.
The only advice I can give you is to pick a region and explore that region, unless you have several months to travel and absolutely avoid the Summer months throughout the USA. While an area like I live in has some beautiful Summer days, we also just had a full week of dark rainy days where the temps were around 30 degrees Celsius. It was miserable and that is always a possibility.
And under no circumstance should you consider visiting any northern state in the Winter. You will be miserable. You do not have the clothes, or the gear to deal with it. Where I live, it isn't known for really bad Winter weather. Our normal daily temp is between -6 and -10 Celsius, . . . not counting "wind chill". Wind Chill is the thing that can slice though your heavy British Winter Coat as if it was a thread bare cardigan. We often get 1 meter of snow falling during a storm and we are NOT in a "snow belt". There is a snow belt south of us and they regularly get up to a meter of snow in a normal snow fall.
You are not going to be able to drive in the snow and we have absolutely no viable passenger trains, nor reliable public transportation outside metropolitan areas. And on the transportation note, remember what you consider a long road trip ia an American's daily commute.
I recall a group of young Brits touring the USA. They had a map and wanted to put a sticker on the map for every place they traveled. After the first day's travel, they pulled out their map of the state to place the sticker. We had traveled less than 2 centimeters, . . . in about 4 hours travel. We had barely made it out of the county.
Take it from a local, when you go to Orlando make sure to check out some things that aren’t major parks. So many neat things here so many people miss.
In 1995 I was at the opening ceremony of the "new" bridge at 2:20, it was pretty cool there was an old guy there who had been at the opening of the first one too in 1929.
If you search "Navajo Bridge" there's a wikipedia article on it.
Beautiful Santa Fe ❤
These aren't "road trips". These are vacation (holiday) destination spots. And I can think of a number I'd prefer.
I agree. I was like "where's the road?" Bummer.
I mean, they are if you drive to them. Unless you live there already of course.
@@hobblobber3914 "Road trip" to me is about the drive itself, not the destination.
@@BTinSF I don't think I've ever heard of a road trip that doesn't have a destination. Sounds like a driving in a circle.
@@hobblobber3914 Certainly all road trips are driving in a circle unless you are moving.
That motel and cars in Memphis is now a museum--that motel was where Martin Luther King was assassinated.
The Civil Rights Museum is a great place to visit. I live in Memphis. A lot to learn at that museum.
A tip for your trip to Orlando: March to May is considered to be the best time to visit because of the pleasant weather, which is usually in the high 50s to high 80s, and reasonable prices on travel and lodging. Late April to early June also has similar temperatures and low rainfall.
I think October is best. Hot summer is gone, kids back in school, and halloween horror nights is happening.
Another tip, skip Flori-duh and go to Disney Land, Great weather all year round and more awesome people. Florida is a flicker's nest.
I’ve lived in San Diego and Orlando. I disagree, FL parks are better. In general it’s way easier to drive around and park. Beaches are better if you choose to do that as well. I will concede that FL is way more humid. But, I’ve since moved away from both CA and FL. Went back to CA once (despite it being a couple states away for many many years) and instead chose to go back to FL many a times to vaca. Although, if I looking for a non-theme park or non-beach outdoor trip, my go-tos have been UT and CO. Beautiful, nice weather, good hiking spots with pretty scenery, and fun mountains for snowboarding/skiing.
I live about 70 miles from Crater Lake, don't go in the winter. The snow can get up to 15 feet deep. It is best to wait till July. Then you can take the rim drive all the way around the lake. Plan on a whole days trip from the nearest airport.
How do you get from the rim down to the lake itself? I never see that in videos.
@@clemdane There is a trail on the far side of the lake, it goes down about a quarter mile. There is a boat there that will take you out to the island. Getting back up is the hardest part, it's a steep climb.
@@TerryMitchell-c5w Thanks!
They forgot to say "Glacier National Park, Montana."
3:00 I've done the mule trip. At first it is scary, but after a couple of hours, you get used to it. There is a guide in the front who will pause the ride if they spot anything a mule might spook at. Remember, the mule doesn't want to die either.
But definitely don't do it if you are afraid of heights, afraid of horses/mules (Duh!), or have weak legs.
Once you relax and can enjoy the views, it is really spectacular.
Frenchtastic visits the Jack Daniels distillery. All of her videos are great
I live about an hour from there and have visited. Great tour and other things to do around that area. Miss Mary Bobo’s is a must for a meal.
Best road trip I’ve taken was Memphis across to East Tn down to Gulf side of Florida back up the Atlantic side to the Carolinas. ❤ 2 awesome weeks!
Dude! Universal is amazeballs
Motels… you must know that the IS is so large with many roads that go for miles without seeing a town or city, so along these roads you will occasionally come across a motel and gas station. They are welcome sites as you might imagine. And many are a giant step back in time.
Some of these would not be my pick. Yellowstone is great but go off season to avoid all the crowds. Went went in October near the end where they close up the hotel and saw lots of wildlife and interesting geysers. Fun! Same with Orlando…don’t go in the summer…it’s too hot in FL. See the Grand Canyon. Rains a lot in Seattle except maybe summer.
I was surprised but South Dakota was one of our favorite family trips. When you go to Disney World do NOT go in the summer or Christmas.
Um.. It's extremely busy all year long. Be prepared to wait in hour long plus lines for each ride. Besides, summer is just a time to sweat through your clothes so much you need a wardrobe change! You'll be at almost 100 *F and then add the humidity to it and you're at 115 plus. It's miserable.
@@Kari5274Good advice right there!
I went 3 years ago . Absolutely loved the trip! Hmm I meant to South Dakota. I really hate going to Orlando . I go when I have to .
@@lorireed8046 I live 40 minutes from Orlando by the Space Center. I spend my time inside with the air conditioning.
@@Kari5274 I lived in 4 different areas in Florida. I really liked Cape Canaveral.
I love watching how you react to our country
"We don't have the motels like you guys do," struck me with a 'thank-goodness' felling as that wreath on railing hangs at the spot where civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated back in 1968. The motel now is part of the National Civil Rights Museum.
Yeah, i was gonna say “You don’t want to stay at that motel, somebody was killed there.” Kids don’t know much of history, even they have access to everything about it. But I don’t think they teach American Civil Rights in the UK.
Thanks for the info, I did not know that either.
It's always interesting to hear older people complain about what younger people don't know... who's responsibility was it to teach them?
@@robynbeach3198 Well I'm 54 and I live on the west coast and of course I know all about MLK, his speeches, his mission, his movement, and it's awesome. But I don't believe I've ever seen that particular shot of the motel. I think if you live in that state or neighboring states it's a big deal, like etched in your mind (like it is now in mine) but I'm not young, just didn't recognize it from that shot.
@@robynbeach3198 If you’ve watched enough of his videos, you’ll see that there’s a ton of stuff he doesn’t know, and not just about history but about EVERYTHING. We complain about the crappy educational system in the US, but apparently it’s pretty crappy in the UK, too. I can’t speak for his parents and what they did or did not teach him, but as a parent myself, my kid is very smart and I made sure to teach him everything I could think of and always asked him if he knew what something was or what it was that was being referenced on TV or anywhere, to make sure he knew what was meant and wasn’t just making something up in his head. I made sure he watched lots of documentaries and PBS and even saw tons of pop culture so he would “get it” and not give me a blank stare. But I don’t think this dude even reads his comment very often so he can learn about all those things that baffle him in every video he reacts to. Because some of the things that baffle him just boggles my mind and makes me facepalm.
Louisiana native.. There is multiple kinds of gumbo. Chicken & sausage, seafood which has shrimp, crab, sometimes crawfish and other stuff both are pretty good. But find a place that does chicken and sausage gumbo if you want to try it without seafood
If you want an Orlando field trip, but want to explore more than one "culture," start in Atlanta Georgia. Get some history and great southern cooking and bbq. Drive south a bit to Savannah Georgia. The only southern city to survive the Civil War. Great architecture, fun vibe, great food. Then just go south along the coast. Maybe stop at St Augustine Florida to see the oldest fort in America, the lighthouse, and architecture of Flagler College. If you time it right, you can go just another 15 minutes south and see a launch from the Cape (like SpaceX). Drive along Daytona Beach. Experience the "salt life." Florida before Disney. Maybe check out the NASCAR track. Then turn into the state to Orlando. Walt Disney World is an experience in itself. Complete immersion. It could be literally anywhere in the world, because once you're in, everything you see, hear, feel, taste, smell is designed by Disney. That's why I recommend that "road trip," and I've broken it into easy day drives (just a couple of hours). You get a couple different types of people and cultures that live in the US, topped by a Mickey Mouse cherry.
Good advice to get the most bang for your buck
Edit: you need 2-3 days just for Disney World. (Disney World is in FL. Disney Land is in CA)
That's our yearly trips .... We go to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
@@lorireed8046 My fist thought was to start near Asheville, so he could get some southern Appalachian history and food, but Atlanta is easier for foreigners to fly into. My husband's brother's wife (my in-law) and family go to Pigeon Forge every year. I prefer Asheville just because I love the Grove Park Inn & Spa. So different than any hotel I've stayed in.
@@revgurley OHhhh gotta write that down! I'll check it out .
Edit... Lovely place but, $600 a night for something I'd not use the services of. Nah .
I go to Disney all the time. Being shocked at the price is part of the experience. Lol
And the queues. Every ride is "the line ride". You're going to spend most of your day waiting in line
😂😂😂
Disney is too woke to support any longer.
I was literally modding Twitch chat and sending you pics of my little trip to Santa Fe back in April lol 🤣
I’ve been to Orlando, did the Disney thing. Been to universal, but in Los Angeles. Busch Gardens was pretty cool in Florida. Also been to Yellowstone, twice love it. I could honestly live there and be happy. It’s so beautiful, and so many chances to see wildlife.
If you do go to Orlando go in October.. Summer is too HOT!
Easiest way to remember which (American) Disney is which:
A World is bigger than a Land, and the smaller park came first. :)
Disney started in California, and Disney Land, the first park, is there.
Disney wanted something bigger, so be bought swampland in Florida to build Disney World (which, big as it is, amazingly, is actually smaller than he originally intended it to be!)
When you go to the US you have to go to Vegas. Vegas has so much to do. You don't have to gamble
The 1st clip of Crater Lake, Oregon the land in the middle of the lake is called Devil's Island.
Born and raised in New Orleans . There is always something going on in the French Quarter and there are ALWAYS some kind of festival going on year round. And there are MANY different types of food to choose from . But if you want to get away from the fast paced city, you can go along the river and explore plantation homes and other settlements along the Mississippi river. But to experience a huge party then you have to come down for Mardi Gras and catch some parades.
Take into consideration that Florida in the summer is hot, can be humid and there could be hurricaines. Better to go in the spring or fall.
I'd like to recommend this trip up the Hudson River ( from N.Y.City). Its a day trip on The Circle Line ( ferry) and goes north up the Hudson River to West Point. This is the same route between the high cliffs of the Palisaides.up the N.E. coasts of N.J. and N.Y. State and the British navy took during the Revolutionary War to fight our militia.
West Point is where our cannons rained cannon balls down on the Brits and pummeled their ships. ( some cannons still remain there on the cliffs). It was the perfect place to attack and not be fired upon. West Point is where the U.S. Army has its military academy. You can visit there. Its a beautiful trip to take from late Spring through to Fall.
#5 LOL!! Major blooper. Oh well. I'm sure Keystone SD loves the boost & probably is lovely. New Orleans French Quarter is a great deal like that many times. Gumbo isn't just seafood. Skip the seafood gumbo & get the sausage or chicken gumbo.
Gumbo comes with chicken and sausage also ….Real GOOD……
Lewis: "We have hotels, but not motels." A motel is a 'motor hotel', The US is such a mobile population, that in the 30-40's and beyond, people wanted drive to their room, instead of dealing with a porter or bellboy and stairs or an elevator.
Well into the 70s and even 80s in parts. Usually not along the Interstates. Route 66 still has them today.
I live an hour and a half from Memphis. You can’t mention kings without mentioning B.B. King
When she said "Elvis Presley and..." I yelled out, "BB King!"
Santa Fe is one of the most beautiful cities I've been to. It's an artist paradise
The food is amazing . But ever I've city I've visit the food has been good ... the Civil Rights Museum is an awesome place to visit . Most of these places I've been to and had a grand time at all of them ... Orlando is Disney World, the larger one . Yes, New Orleans is a party city so fun.
Hey Lewis, you gotta make sure you build up enough WALKING STAMINA if you really want to explore Yellowstone.
Seriously, it is a lot of walking if you really want to see the good stuff in the national parks.
Interesting, just before I watched your video I was looking up passes and hotel rooms at WDW for myself. Gumbo is awesome, cooked fish, shrimp, crawfish, okra, veggies in a spicy flavorful broth. Louisina has some of the best food in the world.
These aren't road trips, but vacation spots.
A road trip, for example, would be driving US 1 along the Pacific coast, stopping to sightsee along the way.
I remember a family road trip where we drove from New York state to New Orleans. Another where we went from Rochester, NY to the east coast and up to Maine. Yet another when we drove to the Hudson Bay.
Lewis, the entire crater at C. Lake is as a result of Mt. Mazama blowing up 7700 years ago, as was mentioned. Shaun and his wife went there a few years ago, but it was early in the season, even though the rest of the country was experiencing spring weather, up in that altitude, there was still snow on the ground. As a result of it being a volcanic crater, there are no rivers running in or out, so the water is pure and clear as can be, since it filled over a several hundred year period as a result of snow melt and rain.
Santa Fe is also known for its annual hot air balloon festival--dozens and dozens of them in the air at the same time--quite a sight.
Is there anything you're not scared of, dude? They've been running these daily mule tours at Grand Canyon for 100+ years, and I believe the stats say that NOBODY has ever died because the mule they were riding lost its balance. Mules are probably the most sure-footed animal on the planet--far better than horses. On to the original subject: Grand Canyon Village is where the hotels/motels, grocery stores, post office, tour operators, etc. are located.
In addition to what's been stated here about Nashville, it's also home to the largest Kurdish immigrant population in the country.
The original Disney property, Disneyland, is in the LA suburb of Anaheim (ANN-uh-hime), but the biggest by far is in Orlando, and is, of course, Disney World. Have you thought about taking your nephews and nieces while they're young to "nearby" Eurodisney?
When I visited New Orleans, I ate some local foods, but the majority of my time was on a swamp tour about 30 mi./48km. to the NE, which was amazing--alligators, Cajun swamp dwellers and their homes on the water--a very good use of my time there.
At 10:09 in Yellowstone is (I'm sure you've seen it in previous videos) Grand Prismatic Spring.
I've visited all the places here except for Crater Lake.
I just visited New Mexico and went to Santa Fe. Very pretty, didn’t stay too long, need to go back. I did enjoy Albuquerque.
I will be going to Las Vegas in Oct. 2024 and going on a side trip to the Grand Canyon. Can’t wait.
I do want to see England very much and Scotland.
Orlando FL is Disney World. When I lived there I didn't really think about Disney World. I have been to Disney World when I was a kid, and when I was in High School, but not as an adult and not when I lived in Orlando.
My friends took their son to the pride parade in new Orleans this year and yes the video is just like that 😂 People were having so much fun!
At 8:03 yep it's like that every time it's even more busy during Mardi Gra be careful adult fun come with adult things that happen especially on Mardi gra in New Orleans
The best thing in Seattle is the Space Needle it has the world's only revolving glass floor at 500 ft above the ground, if you're as afraid of heights as you are of bears I wouldn't recommend it!😂(There are some great videos about it on RUclips)
PS that ski area must be on a cloud because the highest point in South Dakota is 7,244 ft.
As someone who lived in Seattle for twenty years, I'd tell people to skip Seattle. It is basically San Francisco without the charm. Portland is so much better. Of course they never mention my favorite thing in America: The Iowa State Fair, can't be beat by disney even. ruclips.net/video/RnY6lD-dd3s/видео.htmlsi=-I_J_LYhqc57oZGZ
@@donnabert the view from the space needle on a clear summer day is unsurpassed anywhere in the world, it blows anything San Francisco has a way!
@@timfeeley714-25 Okay, so you've never been to San Francisco I presume.
Santa Fe, New Mexico has very good Mexican food. I'd highly recommend it.
Went there on family vacations as a teenager and when I was in my early 20's.
The chimichangas (especially with green sauce) are so good.
If you're into art at all, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and the Chuck Jones Gallery is
very nice. Chuck Jones was one of the old Looney Tunes animators.
No Lewis, Gumbo is usually Chicken, Pork sausage, and shrimp!
and boiled
Yes New Orleans is really like that. I don't live near New Orleans but I live in Louisiana and New Orleans is pretty fun
New Mexico is the SouthWEST not the 'Southern" states so don't confuse it. Their food is delicious but it is southwestern food not "Southern" food like you are probably thinking. Biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, grits, chicken fried chicken and white gravy is very big in The "South" Eastern states.
And don't forget the sweet tea.😁🌞
Southwest brings the great Mexican food. New Mexico, even though it has Mexico in it's name, has the great Native American food! If you like fried foods, you would love Fry Bread. 😋
Honestly, Id love to drive through, and spend time in Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA....Something about the history and the trees, and vegetation sounds amazing to me (I live in a semi-desert)
I haven't been to Charleston, but Savannah is beautiful. If you get to go, drive out to Tybee Island.
Orlando Right next to universal park is island of adventure and sea world. Also next to Disney worl is ebcot, anmial kingdom, and universal studios.There are so many more things to do in fla.
I did the mule trip when I was a kid, and the donkey's back foot lost its bearing and went slightly off the side. Scared the hell out of me.
8:17 Yes, the French Quarter in New Orleans is constant party, but even more so during Mardi Gras.
You can get chicken gumbo. You don't have to get shrimp.
Regarding your other video today where they mentioned safety. Memphis and New Orleans have more unsafe areas than average. But if you keep to the tourist areas and don't do something stupid like trying to buy drugs, you'll be fine.
Most violent crime is between gangs and usually drug related.
0:34 It is a volcano, Mount Mazama, part of the Cascades volcanic arc. Wizard island is a cinder cone. I mean, it is called Crater Lake, easier to say than Caldera Lake.
8:33 I'm willing to bet you've never had good shrimp.
These are all great destinations but these are not road trips. The destination is at the end of the road trip and this video doesn't even say how to get to these places.
My two suggestions are San Francisco to Redwood National Park via 101. Six hour beautiful road trip. You can keep going all the way to Seattle and it's all stunning.
Take I-40 through to the Four Corners area, bits of old Route 66 and amazing landscapes.
Start at Flagstaff (89 to 160) or further west, or Albuquerque (550 to 64) or further east. You will get a real feel for the West and American vast desert.
I lived around the four corners and never went! Funny enough the one time I decided to....
It was closed down. I never did learn why .
They closed down Yellowstone National Park the second day of my vacation. The first day I just spent visiting the shops ..missed seeing it haaa haaaa
My children laugh and joke "If Mom is going to your area for vacation you MIGHT want to worry. Things will start happening and places will close"
We've had our fair share of gas station hotdogs for Christmas dinner!
You have to check out Mat and Nat's Mardi Gras video from New Orleans and Zion Natl Park (their scariest hike!) !
Just a heads up, Disney is SUPER expensive!!! Tickets to get in are over $100 per person!
Mom,dad & 3 kids cost $500.00 just to walk in! The food (snacks) are super expensive too.
One great thing about Keystone is that is only an eight hour drive from Yellowstone.
There is a lot more places to visit. That video just touched the tip of the iceberg. LoL
I'm about to start a 5000 mile road trip, the entire way up the west coast along the US/ Canadian border and over to Maine. A roadtrip to at least 1 national park is a must while you're here
There’s a Disney in Paris too!
Orlando is Disney World California is Disney Land. Orlando is twice as big, plus has all the other parks. Costs a lot make sure you’re physically ready for it.
If anyone is interested in visiting Yellowstone, there's a YT channel that's actually for reviews of small kitchen appliances. Anita, the channel owner, took a trip to Yellowstone and posted a couple of great videos I would suggest viewing before making reservations for accommodations. She's budget friendly and gives so much information - really two of the best, most helpful videos I've seen. Just look back through her videos to mid-Sept and early Oct of 2023. (She also did one on Grand Teton a month or two later which you'll see when you look for the Yellowstone ones) I usually don't list other RUclipsrs on someone's channel as it seems rude, but since this is channel is generally totally unconnected, content-wise, but does offer these two useful videos, I'm mentioning it. Lewis, you can delete if you find it offensive I've listed another channel.
The name of the channel is Bestkitchenreviews. She also has a cute cooking channel where she shows great Indian food and other American family recipes called Anita Cooks.
While in Orlando,,, you need to check out the Springs and Kelly Park... In Apopka.... Which is in Orlando...do some research...
Yes New Orleans is a party everyday!
I live in Memphis. We don’t go as much. No one stays at the Loranne motel. It is a tourist site. Memphis BBQ is amazing.
Suggest you realize that driving endless hours on two lane highways can get you some amazing views... but everything is hours apart. When I visit the UK, I usually go to the coach tour websites and see their itineraries. If I find one I like, I DO RESEARCH along that route and many of the smaller parks, museums, shooting ranges, famous restaurants, etc. are on the route, but don't or can't handle 50 people coming in the door at the same time. Yes, I have driven on the left side of the road (more like the middle in half of Scotland, Wales, or the Republic of Ireland). I have been on many tours. Some are great, you can sit by the window and film a lot of scenery while someone else drives. I taken about a dozen European tours, but I've also driven myself around (or taken the train from London to Lincoln - DO NOT TAKE OUR TRAINS, it's faster to drive yourself!). Anyway, tours are good value (including your lodging), but you miss a LOT of the smaller places.
Ignore the State lines, and find a few National Parks or Monuments that you find interesting. Draw a circle around it, what else is there withing that circle? Do that all over an American map. Make lists of what you have seen in other videos, mark places/restaurants/sights of interest TO YOU on the map. Can you find a 250 km circle that takes in a dozen of those items on your list? Or expand it to 300 km... PLANNING is everything. When is hurricane season for that area (EVERY area has different seasons)? Tornadoes? When are the parks open? Yellowstone is open in the winter, but half the roads are closed. Try to avoid the Parks in the summer when EVERYBODY heads to them. Fall and spring are pretty good, but beware of spring break around Easter. You do not want the drunken students drinking & driving around you and hotels are FULL. Check for American 3 day weekends. Try to avoid them! Avoid San Diego during Comic-Con, people have to stay 100 miles from the place as every hotel room closer has been booked for months. Major festivals have the same problem across the nation.
PLOT your list of INTEREST onto a national map. Do you find clusters? A great road trip is to do one of your clusters (and find other things, ask for suggestions for that area). Unless two clusters are really close to each other, don't over do it as you'll add a lot of hours of driving for little gain. There are THOUSANDS of places to see in America. Good luck!!!
Great video, I need to visit my country America more.
There are several different types of gumbo you can try. Try a chicken and sausage gumbo if you go to NOLA.
There's actually a huge pyramid in Memphis. Nashville has a copy of the Greek Parthenon.

I'm glad somebody finally mentioned Atlantic City. For the longest while, I've said that the most overlooked area in country was the Mid-Atlantic region. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia have some wonderful scenery, tremendous hiking spots, and tons of history. You've got the birthplace of this country in Philly, Virginia has the homes of Washington and Jefferson, you have D.C. and it's monuments, along with the casinos in Jersey. Everyone passes over it for New England or the Deep South. Folks don't know what they're missing!
Virginia was the 1st colony
Funny note parts of Yellowstone park is closed because we had an hydrothermal explosion with one of the geysers.
BTW? Disney now owns Star Wars.
Disney World Florida is mega expensive. And it's huge.
Disneyland California is more compact, I've been to both, but more often here in California where I live.
Oh they also have a Star Wars hotel.
Not anymore. Closed and being torn down.
@@dking1836 oh wow! I wonder why! Thanks for that info!
Hi Lewis, Come visit Santa Fe, New Mexico. The food is fantastic, the sights are amazing, and the people are welcoming.
Gumbo is cooked bro and don't go to Atlantic city it's not worth it
I agree, and I grew up in the Atlantic City area. Ocean City and Cape May are better.
Check out Letchworth State Park in New York..It's called the Grand Canyon of the East.
Seems like mojo was off on a few aspects with this video. Most of these are destinations and not roadtrips per se, getting a picture of Tennessee for discussing Memphis, and the confusion of Keystone in Colorado and South Dakota. Personally if I did this video for road trips, I’d mention routes and the destinations a tourist is likely to see.
Also, since you mentioned wanting Star Wars relations to theme parks (Disney World does Star Wars) I recommend if you do head towards Orlando, to make the time to go to the JFK NASA museum near Orlando.
If you want to see Star Wars buildings and stuff, you'll find that at Disney World in Florida. At least, it was there in January this year when my friends went.
While I do agree that Yellowstone and the adjoining Grand Teton National Park are “must see” places in the US…Lewis, please be mindful that Yellowstone has BEARS, lots and lots of BEARS!!! LOL…Both grizzly and the more common black bear😂
Lewis! You should do a reaction to the Disney World resorts!!!! Disney World is the big one in Florida, Disney Land is the smaller one in California. That would make a great reaction! I love Disney resorts! The Polynesian and Port Orleans are my favorites! Although the Aminal lodge and fort wilderness will blow your mind! ❤❤❤
There is also a chicken gumbo in pork gumbo.
