- Time for a little R&R (rock & roll) to shake the cobwebs out. We were in for a shock when it was shut down at Cedar Point.
Our Harvest Host overnight stop was great but it was packed tight and parking was at a premium. The pie was delicious.

RV Camping
We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.
We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to RUclips channels Suite Travels, Switch it Up and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks and believe it or not, I actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well.
Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in our discovery of What's Next.

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.
Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.
Vehicles:
2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
2019 SpaceCraft Custom built semi-trailer 5th wheel "Orion"
2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"
Power system:
3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power

My husband had the honor of graduating from the AF Academy. He went on to fly F-15’s. He retired after twenty years with the AF as a Lt. Colonel. One of his assignments was in Iceland. His squadron would “accompany” Soviet fighter jets as they toyed with our air space. It was during the the Cold War and the Soviet Union thought their old rickety jets were a match for our very superior fighter jets. His last mission was into the Mideast. Things were heating up there but America just wanted them to know we were keeping an eye on them. This was during end of 70’s into the mid 90’s. Went on to become a Captain with a Commercial Airline. And now we are both retired. He loved his aviation career.
What a great career he had! Glad you both stuck it out! My Dad was a railroad man. Gone a lot. He and Mother stayed married till the passed. 🥰 54 years
Very cool. Love the F-15. Used to watch them at Langley years ago. Appreciate his service to our country.
The F-4 you sat in was Col. Olds’ airplane in Vietnam. He was was an American fighter pilot and promoted to general officer in the United States Air Force (USAF). He was a "triple ace", with a combined total of 17 victories in World War II and the Vietnam War.[2] He retired in 1973 as a brigadier general, after 30 years of service. Olds had a highly publicized career and life, including marriage to Hollywood actress Ella Raines.
This week at Langley Air Force Base we dedicate a building in his honor with his daughter in attendance.
Interesting!
Awesome
That is so cool! Thank you very much for sharing. We appreciate that a lot.
My grandma was Sandy McDonald's right arm and worked at McDonald' Air craft she designed the wire crib for t 43:29 he f fours and my dad as well as all of my neighbors all worked for McDonald' Douglas aircraft back in the day when they were building the f fours or they called them the banishie they had to work 24 hours a day and 7 days a week for a while to meet the Air force and Navy and Marines and army contractes for delivery
The f fours were bad ass fighters and so was the f 15 with the right poilit thire deadly killers of the sky
My dad was in the Royal air force he is 91 now it is a true honour to be his daughter ❤❤❤❤❤❤ love Lisa
That is very cool, Lisa ann. Day "hi" from us.
@bigtruckbigtravels hi from my dad and me of course xxxxxxxx
I will just share this. I have a little background in aviation. David you were exactly right with your comment about the Black Widow!. Please people don't wet your pants from what I'm about to say😂. The YF-23 is still to this date the greatest fighter jet ever built!!!!!. The Raptor is the most dominant fighter in the SKY hands down but it is our current Air Superiority fighter because people in congress got some weight dropped in their pockets. Head to head in every category the 23 outperformed the 22..😮
Agreed. Heard that the USAF required thrust vectoring and the 23 didn't want to sacrifice stealth or speed or efficiency. Too bad... the Raptor is still the best out there but we could be better! Thank you
We found diesel for 3.19 per gallon TODAY in Nebraska!!..........Yahoo!!!!
Woohoo!
When I worked as a County Clerk Archivist, we had what are recorded as Cemetery Deeds. Property owners would petition and deed specific portion for cemetery use. Most of the appropriated property was an acre or more located near a dedicated road way. In Oregon all cemeteries are inventoried every 10 years, including Indigenous People who occupy them.
Hmmm...interesting. Did not know that. Thanks
I grew up just an hour from Cedar Point , BEST costers in the US . We were there several times a year ! My Mom was in her late 60es the last time she rode , because she made sure she rode EVERYone that they built . There have been several new ones in the last 20 years since she is gone. Lots of great memories !
Do you know if they still have the Bluestreak and Gemini? I hadn't been there since 1981.
Bluestreak is still rolling!
That's fantastic about your Mom riding the coasters. We didn't see a lot of seniors at the park! Great park with a ton of history.
Thank you so much for sharing the Air Force Museum. It was so interesting to see plane for President Roosevelt so that he could be able to travel. The fighter jets, the sound of freedom. I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for sharing your videos.
We really appreciate your comments and your time spent watching the channel. stay cool out there.
When David got into that jet
cockpit he looked 10 years old! That was great to see
Thanks for watching, Steven. I felt like it too! Really wanted to be a fighter pilot but eyes and height were a "no go" back then.
Next time near Ceder Point try Ottawa Wildlife Preserver 30 miles west of Sandusky on Route 2. It has great birding and other wild life.
Thanks, Marcy. Sounds like a neat place.
Oh Jesus!
Thank You for these good people!
AMAN~
Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone.
I've been in Texas for 7 years now, but grew up about 45 minutes away from the Air Force Museum. I really enjoyed seeing how much fun you guys had at Cedar Point and the museum. Though I'm a Texan now, I'll always be a Buckeye!
Thank you for showing your adventures, what a breath of fresh air of no politics, no drama (for us, even though we live through your problems with you), just good clean fun!
Thanks, Todd. Love Texas but Hawaii is home so I know what you're talking about with Ohio. It's just our life on the road. We like not trying to sell you anything! 😆 😆 Appreciate your time watching the channel.
My Great-Uncle Willis, a farmer at Iron Mountain, Michigan, used to shut the engine off on his 1959 Ford pickup truck whenever going down a hill to save gasoline! With the standard transmission, it was simple to restart the engine while rolling along! He did this constantly while driving! I don't think folks today know about this gasoline saving "secret" LOL!!
We don’t do it because the steering wheel would lock. But new cars do it for us at stop lights. lol
That's true...of course, in todays vehicles everything would lock up! Thanks for sharing.
@@bigtruckbigtravels Yes! Sadly these very expensive and complicated "anti-theft" devices don't seem to stop car thieves! The real thieves are the car companies installing and charging $$$$$ for these worthless and complicated devices!!!
So fun! We took our 14 year old roller coaster-loving grandson to Cedar Point last Summer and stayed a week during July 4th. We went into the park 3 days and enjoyed amenities the other days, including fireworks on the beach on the 4th. It was hot and crowded, but wonderful!!! You are correct about the Cedar Point Ap: it's a great tool for managing your time. It also helps to have a grandson obsessed with roller coasters, who researched everything ahead of the trip. I so envy your time there with that lovely, cool weather....but I don't envy the mayflies!
Weather was great...may flies were terrible but didn't bother us in the park. Glad you enjoyed it. So much around there besides the park. Thanks
I always recommend to visitors to start touring our Air Force Museum from the last hanger, where the modern aircraft and areospace equipment reside, and work yourself back to the front. The best thing about the museum is it is free. Plan to spend plenty of time when visiting. Thanks for profiling our national pride.
We love military aircraft on display. That's a good idea on starting at the back first. Thanks 😄
My heart swells with pride and reverence in these national spaces that commemorate the selfless sacrifices and extraordinary achievements of those who came before. How thrilling it must be being there. God's willing, I hope to visit soon.
It makes me proud too.
Thank you. It's a proud day for us.
"Nobody should be eating at 3:30 in the afternoon."😂
When they have a buffet, you graze and skip supper/dinner.
Isn't that too early?!? Apparently not!
🙏🤗🇺🇸Thank You for sharing all these great Videos🇺🇸🥰
Another awesome video with David & Sondra. Thanks for sharing with us. ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it, Nancy. We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.
You guys are so cool! I wish I had all of your energy! Blessings to both of you!
Thanks, Laurel. I guess we had our Wheaties that morning! 😆 🤣
I've lived in Sandusky for 12 years, this area is great in the summer.
Thanks for an awesome video!
Thanks for watching! Lots to do around there. Neat area.
I have been watching you for the past week or so and am enjoying the two of you immensely. You are doing what I have wanted to do but very sadly my husband my love went to Heaven too early. I saw your rig and thought it was BEAUTIFUL. That is when I tuned in. I am so glad I did. Sondra you are great and so talented. David you are a marvel. I think, no I know you could fix anything. Love you guys. Be Blessed and be safe. I can’t wait to watch more❤ from Myrtle Beach S C
Thank you, Susan. We used to live in Myrtle Beach for 10 years... you're in the busy, busy season! Sorry about your husband but we are so excited to have you along on the journey and glad you found us. 😊
I have had Banana Creme Pie at that restaurant and then purchased a chocolate creme pie to go! I was bad... really bad! Another awesome video. Really enjoy watching your escapades!!
It was very tasty! Glad you enjoyed it.
Some of the best content on youtube. Thanks for sharing, you guys are fun to watch.
Appreciate your comment. It means a lot to us and glad you enjoy it.
My favorite plane is the F-15. I used to watch them take off and land while studying in high school. That was truly my happy place. And Cedar Point is where I fell in love with roller coasters that flip you upside down!
A lot of those, Kristen...lots of "upside down time"! Love the F-15, used to watch them at Langley.
Beautiful Azalea. I've never seen one That full either.❤
Thank you 🤗Justine. We hadn't either which is why we had to video it. Really full and colorful.
Y’all continue to surprise us with your sense of adventuring with those coasters! Another great video! Safe travels!! Sandra and Dave 😎
Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone. Each week is a new adventure, glad you're along on the journey.
Looks fun! I would love to see Sondra’s scrapbook sometime!!! That could be a whole episode or 2 😊
Don't encourage her! She could turn it into a whole channel! 🤣😂We'll get more into her journal in the next video. Thanks
Love seeing the aircraft museum. Thank you for taking us on a tour through it
Glad you enjoyed it, Edward. Thanks for watching
My husband was Air Force...served part of his time in SAC.
Appreciate his service to our country which allows us the freedom to do what we do! Thank you 😊
Wow. You two are a couple of kids. I could never get my husband to go on amusement rides. Looks fun. We visited the AF Museum also and we only got partway through the first building. We intend to go back someday to see the rest. But just a warning: Don't buy their food from the cafeteria. It was microwaved and awful and very expensive.
Thanks for watching! We skipped the cafeteria but appreciate your comments. We still enjoy the coasters.
I'll coast out offshore in any weather but those rollercoasters are way beyond my capabilities. You are very brave, what a trip.
LOL, Hans, we're not heading out into a Nor'easter, that's for sure! We really appreciate your time watching the channel.
Hi guys...good video...we are on our west trip now ourselves...sitting in roswell nm...making our way up to deer lodge Mt. to see some friends..then over to Custer Sd..we are going to dayton Oh Air force museum at the end of our trip...I want to see the B36 peace maker...😊..thanks for the video...guys stay safe...J&A2ofus
Hi J&A, thank you. Sounds like you have put some miles under you this spring/early summer. That's a nice plan. The Red Lodge area is really nice. Stay safe out there.
I'm glad to see that you didn't let the may fly infestation "bug" you. As I watched you try to get them off the side of the camper with your hand, it dawned on me how they got their name. When you try to swat them, they "may" fly away... 🤷 I'm glad you showed the Air Force Museum because I wondered if it was exciting or just kinda "plain." 😂 I'm sorry, I'll see myself out now. God bless and safe travels
Lol... on a roll, Bruce. Love the jokes and your "plain" sense of humor. Thanks 😄
@bigtruckbigtravels Yeah it was my plain sense of humor that landed me such a wonderful wife 😆🤷
Oh, If I remember correctly, not far away, I think you can visit the Wright Brothers practice field, their grave sites, site where they grew up, the home they built, and more… a quiet gem site in the country. You did a great job stimulating my memory :)
Thank you. A lot happened in that area of Ohio. So cool to see history.
This couple , their reactions and overall demeanor is deawteeaw. 😊
Ummm... is that good? 😆
Yes.
I'm so glad you saw our national museum of the air force here in dayton ohio..we are very proud of the museum.
Appreciate the comment, Ruth. Neat museum to visit. Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone.
You guys are just infectious, David and Sondra you are two inspirational people! I have only just come across your site and working through your journeys. It was always a dream of mine to retire from the UK and RV the US for 6 months at a time. I have been lucky to visit your amazing country 9 times and love it. If you ever get a chance to do a short video on your backstory and how you managed to do what you we doing; that would inspire others to understand if we can do it. Something to aspire too! Thank you for your videos 😊
Thank you so much... we are flattered by your comments. We're thinking of doing that story when/if we hit 50K subscribers. We weren't sure anyone would be interested.
Can’t imagine how much work goes into producing these LONG videos.
Thank you for watching the channel. We're glad to share our experiences with everyone.
Was at the AF Museum about 2 weeks ago. Worked on the C141, F4, and F15 between 1965 and 1988.
That's pretty cool. The F4 was in nice shape, great job. Thank you.
When you showed the tires had sunk it also looked like the bottom of your tires were flatter. lol. Your back tires were rolling forward also. The scattered cemetery is from closed churches often. They get moved or torn down. There use to be churches much more often on the road. The SR-71 is an awesome plane, still the fastest plane to fly. That one looked to be an Aardvark bomber. . Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks for the comments. We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey. Lots of cool planes.
Thank you for taking me back to my childhood. Car trip from SLC, UT. to Dayton, OH. Uncle was in the Air Force, so off to the museum we went. Again, thank you.
You're very welcome. We're excited to have you along on the journey and that you enjoyed the video. It's cool that it brought back personal memories. 😎
It so nice to have great wisdom in fixing things . Your a team.😊
😊 thank you, and sometimes we get lucky too! 😆
It was D-Day 80 years yesterday in Normandy ❤❤❤
True. Very cool. Thanks for the comment.
Yay!!! It's Thursday at last! Dinner and primetime viewing starts with BT²🎉
😂🤣😊too funny! Hope you didn't get any indigestion!
Another Great Episode!! You went to my favorite Air Museum. My daughter used to live in Dayton. I was able to go to the museum several times and loved each time. The P-51 is my favorite fighter. Beautiful, fast, and that engine makes the sweetest sounds. Seeing it in the video makes me want to go back!!! You had some amazing weather during this trip. Safe Travels!! See you next week.
Thanks, Bill. Love the P-51 too. We had fantastic weather for our visit.
Wow haven't been to Cedar Point since I was a kid, maybe 1971. Our next door neighbor was an Episcopal Minister and one of his parishioners owned Zantop Airlines and we took his Yacht there. Calm going, not so much coming home. Definitely hanging off the back of the boat.
Oh man! That would be quite a ride. Those lakes can change conditions in a heartbeat! Sounds like a cool trip... except the return.
I'm glad you discovered Sheetz! They're a great place for on-the-road food. Their app shows the locations that have truck fueling, and the price.
Nice, thanks, Jamie. Really nice stores.
I loved this video. We use to live in Ohio (both girls are Buckeyes) and we have been to Cedar Point many times. In fact, Roger's family has been going there since he was a little boy. We've also eaten at Der Dutchman many times. We loved going to Wright Patterson AF museum. This video was a real trip down memory lane.
Really glad you enjoyed it and it brought back good memories. Thank you
Oh her in New Zealand our cemeteries are usually on the edge of town and we call them the dead centres. Lol...
Interesting description, Lois. I like it though...dead centre. Very descriptive. Thank you
Thanks for the tour of the Air Force Museum! I loaded weapons on the F4 so I appreciated seeing that plane up close!
Very cool. Knew an F4 instructor many, many years ago. Loved the plane but said it was difficult to fly. Thank you
Great video, thanks for taking us along!
We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.
Hi from Canada.🇨🇦 Another great video.
Hi from the southern half! Thank you.
You would be surprised how many burial sights are under our own home country. Look it up. I enjoyed watching you both glad your hot on the cell lol. I enjoy traveling camping. Me father in-law loved RV traveling to camp SIGHTS with the church, but this traveling I have watched is awesome your the best . Lord Bless You Both,🙏🙏
Thank you. I'm sure it's a lot more than we think... maybe ignorance is bliss? 😆
All over Nebraska there are family plots and small cemeteries. It’s actually quite common.
Thanks. We just hadn't seen it much before, James.
Another great video. Just one problem. You needed a Ohio State Buckeyes shirt. Not Razorbacks...lol
I'd root for Arkansas, never OSU. Go Blue
We really enjoyed OH, John. But...I've got to stay with my Hogs! You guys should have a great team this year!
Thanks for another great video and insight into what Sandra used to do! I knew she was a smart cookie ;).
Glad you enjoyed it and she's pretty smart for sure...especially for marrying me! 😀 😆 🤣
Sounds like you two will live forever with all your steps 😂
As long as we don't step in the wrong area, Mary! Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences.
Interesting! Sondra knows the guts! 41:37. Tell us more.
Yes she does. Definitely an engineer at heart.
Loved every minute of it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thanks for sharing😊
Glad you enjoyed it. We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.
In the beginning of the video; when you mentioned going to the USAF museum in ohio. I thought "cool.. dad was in the airforce.. ill watch then share your vid with him".
🇺🇸 im now at 33:37 where you mention we are in riverside OH, right outside dayton. I see the hangers... i paused your video... made a Google search. ... This Wright Patterson .. my father was stationed there at Wright Patterson Airforce Base in 70s. We went to St. Peters grade school... and often especially when family came to visit, went to.see the airplanes ✈ in those hangers... my favorite were the flying tigers.
Thank you so much for sharing.
P.S. my father was appointed to organise all transportation for Mrs.Kennedy & lil Patrick...
Im so proud of my father & our country.
No one is perfect...
God bless 🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing your story. That is super cool your Dad was involved at WP. Appreciate your comments and your time watching the channel. 😃
Museum story time! I am a vet. 6 years active USAF and 6 years Air Guard. Entered the AF in 1979 at age 17 and became an avionics mechanic maintaining the radar directed tail gun on the B-52H. It is known as Defensive Fire Control. The B-52 is the largest aircraft to record an air to air victory. Two Migs were shot down by B-52D gunners during the Vietnam war. One by A1C Albert Moore and the first by Ssgt Samuel Turmer. You should had seen the artifact display at the museum to the Turner shoot down. In that display case is one barrel from his aircraft when he shot that Mig. Why only one barrel being when there were 4 guns in that turret? Not many know the whole story as it was told to me when I was at fire control school by an instructor who was there recovering that aircraft after that mission. When there was a fireout on a system, all the barrels get pulled and changed out. On Turners aircraft, they only pulled one barrel because the other 3 .50 caliber machine guns had jammed leaving almost all of the ammo on board. No need to pull them. So, that Mig was brought down by a signal .50 cal. Now you know the rest of the story! Great video!!! I consider a visit to the Museum of the United Sates Airforce a 4 day event to really take it all in. Way to much to see in a day or two. Thank you folks!
Thank you for sharing. Great story and love the background to it. That is too cool... don't want to mess with a .50 cal in the air. Definitely more than a day to take it all in. Appreciate your service to our country which allows us to be able to live this life.
I don't think any woman can forget Top Gun Tom Cruise F15. On a side note, you are right about the big leap from propellers. Most of that leap occurred in Area 51👽
Oh, I believe it. Amazing the jump in technology in a relatively short time.
Another interesting adventure with David and Sondra. Thanks for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it, Christy. Thanks
Welcome to our part of the woods. We're in Toledo. All those bugs are May Flies. I live in an area called Point Place. Scoop shovels are needed to throw them away when they die.
Btw Point Place Toledo is the part of town that The 70's Show was based on.
If visiting, do not bring your rig. Your little car would work best.
Interesting I've never watched the 70s show. I think we passed through Point Place and went east along Lake Erie the other year. Family is from Bedford Twp, Monroe Co, MI.
@karenenglish4900 oh wow, you went right past my house. We are at the 2nd to the last exit on 75 before the state line.
Thanks for the tip. We can park the big boy away from town.
Years ago I lived across the bay from Cedar Point, early morning you could hear the swoosh off the rollercoasters and train whistle!
Oh wow! You had fun right across the street...I guess you got used to the "swoosh". Thanks
Hubby worked for Boeing commercial for 34 years in Seattle Metro area -We love visiting the airplane museums-We haven’t been to this one but I hope we can visit it -It looks like they have just about everything-We have the Museum of Flight at Seattle Boeing and a smaller museum in Everett-You can also take a tour of the Boeing Everett Plant and it is really neat -If you get up this way again 🛩️✈️🚀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks, Mary. Love that area of Washington so you never know. Our son-in-law used to work for Boeing.
HEY GUYS BEAUTIFUL RIDE TO DAY FANTASTIC & SUCH A BLESSING THIS VIDEO GOD BLESS ALL THE MILITARY GOD BLESS YOU GUYS !!! I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS 🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✊✊🙏
Thank you so very much for your time watching the channel. 😃
This is a bit late now, but Lake Erie has some of the BIGGEST BADASS WATER SNAKES IN THE US, and they are protected. Often time you’ll see them basking right on the shore, then they quickly dive in the water!😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 Simply beautiful park. So glad you had a fun day!!!!!!!!!
Whoa! Snakes?!? In the Great Lakes? And they are protected? I'm glad you told us now, Susan and not before! 😂Snakes are not my thing...Sondra likes to take pics but I'm not crazy about them.
@@bigtruckbigtravels , All the Lakes have snakes, but google Lake Erie Water Snakes. You will not believe your eyes. If you were swimming and saw this, Heart Attack on the spot.
I would never harm a living creature, but certainly not swimming with these big protected snakes. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I'm from Columbus and did both Cider Point and Sea World when I was younger. I got to ride the Beast before they closed it.
Nice. Good memories, Mark. Thanks
Saludos desde Venezuela, felicitaciones a los dos, por los vídeos, excelente trabajo, gracias
Thank you, Olga. Love having you along on the journey. 😊
You were about 2 miles away from me at the WPAFB Air Force Museum. I see those planes fly over daily. Rumor around the base is blg. 16's basement is where the aliens were stored after their ship crashed. 😂 Der Dutchman Is where my family meets from various locations in Ohio. They do have great pie! I would have definitely loved to have met up with you two, but I'm glad you enjoyed our state. ❤
Thanks, Carolyn. We were so close! The pie was delicious and they can handle some BIG groups! Glad you enjoyed it.
I lived in Ann Arbour MI. As a teen. Held a yearly pass for Cieder point. My military moving I have found to stay away from six flags. Cieder point is the best park I found.
It's a great park with a ton of fun rides. Thanks
Thanks for sharing the tour of Ceader Point Amusement Park it is amazing. I really enjoyed the Air Force Museum, I'm a Aircraft buff from way back.
You're welcome, Scott. I really enjoy military aircraft and the tech surrounding it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much and God Bless!
You're welcome, Christine. Thanks for watching.
When you harvest hosted at the Der Dutchman in Plain City you were only 15 minutes from us. We love the Wright Pat air Museum! Safe travels!
Small world for sure. Museum was awesome!
A big thank you for sharing your experiences and all the time it takes to prepare the video for us. We love visiting museums of all kinds as we R.V. across the states and Canada.
Sondra, we know you are a very smart cookie, but holy whaa, you being on the teams who created the aviation electronics for many of the planes we use today. Truly awesome! 🤓😉💜
Thanks for watching, Yvette! Yep, Sondra is one smart cookie...especially since she married me!😁😂🤣😎 We really enjoy the varied experiences we have and love sharing them. Be safe as you travel this summer.
@@bigtruckbigtravels O MY ! never blow your own trumpet it can come back and bite you big time , i stay nuetral with the wifelet for peace and quite.
41:39 that’s crazy I respect that you’re the brains of the operation I just started watching would’ve never thought
The behind the scenes brains for sure! Thanks for watching.
Your thoughts about contents of the cemetery plots seeping into the agricultural area kinda made me smile!
Look at it this way….. do you worry about dead agricultural plants seeping into you when you eat them?
The process of decomposition is part of the carbon cycle- plants take up carbon from the atmosphere when they grow, and when you eat them ( or when animals eat them and you eat the animals) it goes to make up ‘you’.
‘You’ are never the same ‘you’ for all that long - obviously we all ‘go to the bathroom’, but also we exhale waste gases, skin and hair drop off and are renewed, we sweat and reject ‘boogers’, ear wax and so on…. No matter how old you are, barely a single cell in your body is much more than seven years old - maybe teeth and things can be older, but for the most part, it all gets replaced.
What’s really magical about this is how memories persist even after all the material present when those memories were laid down has gone.
Anyway, when something (a person, an animal, an insect, a leaf or whatever) dies, the process of decomposition breaks it down - first of all into something that you wouldn’t want to eat (which is why we’ve evolved the senses to detect the disgustingness), but later the material is broken right back down to the basic building blocks of life that nourish a thing whilst it’s alive.
All of which is a somewhat long-winded way to say don’t worry about ‘seeping’ - nothing bad will seep anywhere, and certainly won’t be taken up by crop plants until it’s been broken down enough by fungus and bacteria to the point where it is good again - it’s all part of the cycle of life and, really, isn’t it nice to think that the planet can nourish us whilst we’re alive and after we have no further need of nourishment, we can give back to the planet so that it can in turn nourish new life, be it plants, animals, or whatever?
P.S. I can’t remember who made the observation but when you eat a meal, there is a very pleasant sensation from the smell and taste as you eat…. But after you swallow, there are no more taste buds or smell receptors which is just as well, as the food is broken down to, well, essentially vomit at first, and later, feces, and that is all within our own body and an essential part of staying alive! So don’t worry about ‘seeping’ in the same way you don’t worry about a nice meal after it’s gone past the point where you can’t smell or taste it anymore!
Ok...I like that explanation! Thank you!
Those are family cemeteries. The ones I have seen are very old so there probably was not too many rules regarding the burial process.
Thank you, Martha for watching the channel. That's probably correct but times have changed. Appreciate your comment.
That's a great museum - the only thing that made it better was we timed our visit for the same week as the airshow.
Wow! That's perfect timing, Gail!
What a great video I grew up in Ohio visiting Cedar point every summer. I also spent 8 years in the AirForce flying B- 52’s so have always loved the Dayton Museum. Keep on living the traveling life.
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate your service to our country. Cedar Point is fun. Thanks
The train ride around the park was delightful. The little
Western looking little section looked a lot like the front
of the buildings in the movie "Green Fried Tomatos". As far as the head stones, families buried their family members close to
their house. To keep them close and safe.
The train ride was an unexpected experience and fun. Thanks, Stephan for the comments.
Ok I randomly pick this awesome video to think out load , it’s obvious to see you all are the best of friends , enjoy each other’s company, but you all lack public affection that I feel your public would like to see a peck of affection now and then while passing through our living rooms.
Thanks, Rudy. Appreciate your comments and your time watching the channel. We don't like to make anyone feel uncomfortable so we keep it "clean". 😉🤣 Behind closed doors is for us. But, thanks again for coming along on our journey.
Loved this episode on the Air Museum! Both hubby and I love both vintage and modern planes too. Thanks for putting this on our radar for when we hit the road full time! And, I’m with you Sondra, quash those pesky lil boogers!😉👍🏼Be safe out there guys!❤~Wendy
Glad you enjoyed it, Wendy! Oh... she was squashing them all right! Great museum to visit. Thanks for watching the channel.
Awesome vid. I could feel the G forces. Your sense of humor totally makes my day roll. Thanks and keep them coming!!
You're welcome. Our heads could feel them too!
Awesome trip you have taken us on! Beautiful country, Cedar Point, Midges, The National Air Force Museum (I like is free entry?) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base… WOW, GREAT vid. Thanks. 🙂
Thank you. Very cool with the free admission and wanting to share all that history for all to experience.
I wanted to see you back up to the barn. Good video.
Thanks for watching. I think I can, I think I can...
AKA fish flies. They are only here for a week or two, all around the Great Lakes.
Thanks for the info, Stacie. We'll know in the future regarding planning around the Great Lakes.
Love your videos!!! It is refreshing to see a RUclips provider with a great attitude. Other providers could learn a lot from you.
God Bless you
We appreciate that, Tom! We're just living our RV Life with no agenda to sell you anything or scare you either! Lol 😆 😆 It's just our life on the road. Glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Cedar point, we go every year and I’ve been going since 1963. Mayflies along the Great Lakes especially along Lake Erie are prevalent through the months of May, June and the beginning of July. They do not bother you but when you drive on them they click from dieing!
Eeewww! We didn't know about them! Good info for future planning.
very cool place thank you so much for sharing
Lots of fun and history, Dale. We didn't realize how much was there and the significant planes which were on display.
I lived in NE Indiana and visited Cedar Point every year. Haven’t been back for over 20 years, but with the exception of newer roller coasters, it looked the same.
My father was a navigator on a B-17…same as the Memphis Belle. He crash landed (and survived) in England on his 23rd mission upon return from a bombing mission in Germany. I visited the museum in Dayton 7 years ago as part of a reunion on his squadron (306th in Thurleigh, England).
Thanks for the memories
Cedar Point is almost the same but with a few added coasters from several years ago. This B-17s had quite the mission profile and its amazing more were not shot down. Thank you.
Thanks for another great video...the air museum was huge ,o much history...travel safe..kev.🇦🇺
Thanks, Kev. It was huge and amazing. So much history.
I so love the fact that you all are able to take the whole world with you. I love you 2 and I really love traveling with you all to all the different locations.Happy and blessed traveling to u both.😇😇😇👍🏾💯
Thanks, Clarence. We love the ability to change our backyard with the seasons. Super excited to have you along on the journey with us. Stay cool this summer!
We were invaded once with the ladybug look-a-likes! Thousands of them. I also got the vacum out, but I was finding them for a year so. They liked to hide in the curtains & any crevice. 😮
Yes! They love the curtains! I think we've gotten them all! Whew!
The cemeteries are probably a township cemetery or possibly a local church. Nice to see you two having fun at Cedar Point, that place gets very busy and so popular. 😮 looks like you’ll get your steps in . Interesting, thanks for the fun.
Thank you for watching the channel, Judy. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone while we get our steps in! 😊🤣
