Hey Rob. When part 3? Boring without your videos!
@@monsterbike8513 Part 3 will release to the public on Sunday. Now working on part 4
@@TravelingRobert Can't wait. Thanks. Have fun with part 4. See you on the road.
Part 11 vdeo 2019;pleas
Hello Robert, What drone do you use ? can you make a video about your equipment ? You are Awesome :)
Very interesting video. You are the best- Signed Your MOM.
Awwwww .
Hi mom rafael from NYC. Robertito is the best and he speaks so nicely.
L💕VE IT!!!!🙏💕🤗
That's what I enjoy, a lot of country views on a longer video with good music 👌. Relaxing
The tour of USS Alabama was phenomenal. Even more appreciated as I could have never climbed all of those steps and fit in those tight spaces to see what you saw. Wonderful!
congratulations Robert for your video on the warship. It was awesome. Thank you for sharing your journey. See you soon........
Really enjoyed the tour of the USS Alabama. I actually toured that ship years ago when I was a kid. My dad and his brother were on the USS Oklahoma on December 7th, 1941 and both were lucky to survive. The Oklahoma and the Arizona were the only two battleships destroyed that day.
This is how I discovered your channel. My Dad served aboard the USS Alabama so I looked it up and there you were! He was the barber so you know what kinda haircut I got as a kid. I also lived in Spanish Fort for a while. Beautiful area. Thank you!
I toured the battleship Missouri in Pearl Harbor. I took the guided tour as it was only a few dollars more. It gets you into areas the self guided tour doesn't and the tour guide was really good.
Another great video, Robert! Really appreciate all the time you spent filming on the USS Alabama and USS Drum. Nice way to recognize all those who served on them.
The ferry and Battleship Park brings back lots of fond memories of my when I was a kid and when I took my kids. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you for sharing this video it brings back many memories for me as I have toured the battleship several times and when I was young my family and I vacationed on dauphin island many times though it has changed so much since those days and also I was born in Mobile
Another great video, Robert! Thanks for taking all of along with you! I would be banging my head with all that low clearance!
Another great video Robert so glad you take the time to show us the sights. Be safe as you travel till you post your next video thank you once again.
You rock Robert! Love your singing, travels, etc! Keep on riding Robert!
This area is my home. It’s interesting to see it through your eyes (and your drone’s eyes). I’m glad you enjoyed our area.
As always it’s a blast to see your videos. And such a bummer when the video fades out! Can’t wait for the next one! Thank you, Robert!
All that steel and low headroom, I'm afraid I would be banging my head every now and then. Thanks for the great tour, Robert.
It was a tight squeeze in some areas for sure.
Highly Enjoyed This Video! Coastal Alabama is on my Radar Now.
Lou💚
Thanks for sharing us, the museum and the rest of the tour.
It´s always a pleasure to watch your videos :)
WOW! Another super video! The visit of USS Alabama is priceless. It is so complex aboard,
specially the turetts, first time I see the inside ! And the submarine also! Thank you very much Robert!
Hi Robert, my husband and I look forward to your vlogs. The tour of USS Alabama etc was very interesting. Have you ever been to Dayton Ohio to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum? It is free and there is no better museum. It starts with the beginning of flight and goes through space flight. Highly recommend if you ever get to Ohio. Thanks for sharing your travels.
I plan to be in the area this summer so I'll make sure I visit. I love those types of museums
@@TravelingRobert I believe there is also a bicycle museum in Dayton since it is the birthplace of Wilbur and Orville Wright who are considered the fathers of flight.
@@TravelingRobert I also wanted to thank you for making vids that are clean, no profanity and no off color humor/discussions. 😀
I re-enlisted in the navy onboard the USS Alabama in 1980. The ceremony took place under the forward gun turret and was attended by my commanding officer who performed the ceremony as well as a visiting admiral. My entire division was present too. The ship I was stationed on was in dry dock at the back then ADDSCO.... Alabama dry dock and ship building company.
Been there a lot of times. Love it. Can't wait until I go back.
Very cool, I live in northwest Al, we visit gulf shores every year, I haven't been to the U.S.S Al since I was a child, I just told my wife we have to go next time we are down there, my grandson would also love it!
I love your content Robert! I binge watch all of your videos! Thank you brother!
Looks like a fun trip, I love the ships/subs/planes...
Again Robert you provide another great RV travel video. My cousin and his wife have a house on Dauphin Island and I have stayed there twice. The battle ship Alabama is a must see if fellow RV's travel through the area.
I'm so glad you came back to Alabama, your showing me places in Alabama that I haven't seen before. I live here in Alabama, COVID-19 HAS RUINED EVERYTHING.
Thanks Robert ! really enjoyed the tour!
I think USS Alabama is a sister ship to USS Massachusetts. I visited USS Massachusetts in Battleship Cove (Fall River, MA) on my first vacation in USA. Very impressive ship.
Great video! We just added another bullet to "our dream" list! Also, we love your music!! We are Cubans too, so we relate a lot to your videos. Thanks for your great job bringing us so much information and places to dream about going!!
Thanks for the tour! I remember it well.
Run Forest Run! LOL Sit lazy seagull sit! LOL This was very relaxing thanks Mr. Robert. The outside of that first plane looks like it's made with ductape.
Another great vlog there, Bubba. Safe travels my friend.
This was soooo enjoyable Robert!!! And congrats on hitting 70,000 subscribers! I love your channel!
Thank you for visiting the USS Alabama. My home state. Haven’t been there to Mobile in a while but I need to go back.
Hello Robert. Thank you for taking us on the trip with you. We'll meet up with you one of these days in our RV. Still work'n the bugs out and installing the solar.
Safe travels my friend.
Mark & Jenny from the Space Coast.
Wow your bringing back memories GO NAVY!!!
Loved the tour. I remember visiting the USS Alabama many years ago and remembered thinking if I ever got lost in here, they wouldn't find me in 100 years (and no way a cell phone would work inside all that steel) You can definitely spend several days seeing the ship, sub, planes and everything else in that area.
Another excellent, excellent video Robert. Thank you soooooo much for the tour !! It was awesome !!
Another place I never would have thought about visiting as a Swede. I learn alot about USA from you and Im thankful for that. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you!
Robert, this was a much improved video. You are back on the road, flying your Drone. Enjoyed the USS Alabama. I will give you a pass on the cooking scene. We know you eat, you are still among us. Keep telling us about the places you go, the restaurants and campgrounds. You might want to type these in at the end of a video so we can freeze our picture and write down their names.
i love the music at the time of cooking
Reminds me of my old Navy days. The Alabama is from another era and much has changed, but it's scary how much was similar 50 years later (the 80s).
Loved the tour of the Battleship so amazing! Thinking of all the young men that served in the Navy during WWII on these ships . The trip to Dauphin Island was wonderful as well , seemed so low , right at sea level. Not sure I would want to be there during a storm . Yet again you have outdid yourself with a amazing video! Thanks for taking me along on your adventures! Have a blessed day! 🏝😊
Thank you!
We did the ferry to Ft.Morgan, and the Alabama 2 weeks ago based out of Pandian Ridge. Also saw Bamahenge, thanks to your vlog. Ride safe Robert.👍🏻
Thank you!
#200 Thank You for a fine video of USS Alabama BB-60 "The Mighty Bama". Since I know ships, I enjoyed the tour with you. I've been on that ship twice. 35,000/46,000 tons. 680X108X36 feet. Nine 16 inch 45 cal. rifles. Twenty 5 inch 38 cal. dual purpose rifles. Speed 28 knots. Crew 2,500 Officers and Ratings.
Love your videos,especially when they involve my home town Mobile!
Another great video. Thank you so much for sharing. 👏👍
Cheers Volker
Very interesting video ! Thank you for sharing your adventures !!
This was something, cleaning my basement as I play ur video and sure enough I came across a mini teddy bear that I bought with my dearly departed wife who with me in 1989 travelled from Florida to Alabama and stopped and toured the USS Alabama! I was about to add the Teddy bear to my donation collection but watching this now may be a sign to hold onto it in keeping those memories! Excellent work Robert, regards from Canada!!
Thank you! Greetings from Florida
How timely! My family and I just got back from seeing the US Midway in San Diego. Judging from your video the battleship is more impressive!
Dauphin Island, is pronounced "Dô-fən" ; it comes from the French word for "dolphin" , and historically it's also a royal title for a French prince.
Thank you!
Great video, as usual. I’ve visited the battleship a couple of times, during the summer. It gets very hot.. You seek out the few spots that do have AC.
Thank you so much for sharing; impressive quality in your video!
I loved this one. I love visiting war ships and history. Kudos Robert. Thank you!
Robert i think your videos are the best on RUclips. Thank you for all the beautiful video 's and wonderful music. You are a very talented man. 💖 🎹 🎷 🎸 🍺🍻
Thank you
Marvelous places. Thank you for sharing to us!
You're welcome
Very cool, another great place to check out
Man, I could go for a shrimp Po"Boy right now, that looked real good. Your vids make me want to travel, thanks for posting, Robert.
Thank you Robert for another great video. My wife and I have been binge watching all your travels. You have inspired me to document our RV fun on my channel. I hope to someday be half as good of a You Tuber as you. Keep up the good work!
Thank you. I'll check out your channel
Was on HMS Belfast few years ago, almost same memories with so tight ladders almost hitting with head ceilings...surely not for taller folks made, but yet almighty ships
BEEN THERE!Gulf of Mexico. Mobile , saw USS ALABAMA but only from distance. I can see it now!
Hey Robert, that looks like a nice upgrade from Minitini II. Looks like it will suit you well in future travels.
Hey, I thought of you the other night when I was watching the new episode of The Grand Tour, "Lochdown" -- the hosts were towing some vintage trailers and things didn't work out too good for the trailers! They also had an entertaining RV episode ("International Buffoons Vacation") where they drove their modified rigs around the southwest and ended up in an RV demolition derby. Happy trails!
Even the drinking coffee tastes good when watching Robert video.
Robert, if you like complex systems and equipment, hit me up sometime when coming through NC near I95. I can give you a tour of the most state-of-the-art and one of the largest pharmaceutical plants in the country, still under construction right now. It's only 20 minutes off 95.
If you ever come back to Mobile be more public about it. I am so proud to be a Mobilian and would love to have you as a guest for a few days. I have family on both sides of the bay and 3 reliable boats between us. We will show you really fascinating areas, you will eat well, and you will see things that don't show up on tourist brochures. We know of areas accessible only by boat that I think would delight you.
I work for that ferry boat company HMS. But I’m in Pensacola on the 2 boats there
Great video as I was a BT in the Navy. FYI they are not called stairs they are referred to as ladders. The reason Navy ships are not handicap accessible as their job is to make the enemy handicap . Thanks again for all you do.
Great video, truly enjoyed it start to finish.
Thank you!
Awesome vlog Robert. Mobile looks pretty cool place. The war ships were massive but you wouldn't want to be tall walking through them.
Hey Robert, love the video's. I noticed that you did not cross your safety chains when you hitched up. If you cross your chains and something happened and it came loose the crossed chains will prevent the tongue gouging into the ground and really doing damage. Be safe out there brother. I had to be taught as well. God bless you with traveling mercy's.
So cool …you started your video in my neck of the woods. I live in Gulf Shores. I love your videos.
And your boat was in the Trump parades in Orange Beach right! Gimmie an amen from Foley.
Thanks for another great video Robert!
You're welcome
Great video I really enjoyed watching!
Thanks for sharing, loved the sub!
Robert you need to have your trailer axles aligned. They are never aligned from the manufacturer. If you tow over 10k miles a year it's a must. Mine cost $450, but you save that in one set of tires. Happy travels.
Great video...👍👍👍. I truly enjoyed it
Watched your Yosemite vlog first and now I’m hooked on your vlogs. So interesting watching journeys that I’d dream to do. Fair play sir. What a great life you have. Will keep watching your journey west with interest 🚐🇺🇸 I’m from the UK and hope to one day travel the USA 👍
Thanks!
Thanks Robert very nice, good video !!!!
Hi, Robert 👍🏻👍🏻 Awesome !!! I enjoyed watching your adventure and tour of the USS Alabama, I was 8 yrs old when we were on vacation in Mobile and my Dad wanted to do the tour of the ship that’s where I found out I was afraid of heights we were at the very top just like you were I went over to the railing to look down I was on the ocean side I remember like it was yesterday I grabbed the rails my Dad said I turned white as a sheet lol I would not let go of the rails so my Dad had to carry me down, we toured the whole ship I especially liked the bow area where all the big gun turrets were located. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great week !!! Danny
Thank you Danny
Hey Robert. Thank you for the new video. We enjoyed it a lot. We have spent time on Dauphin Island; it is a beautiful little island. If you are in Mobile during the Christmas season, check out the Bellingrath Gardens. They have an awesome walking Christmas lights display. Have a great day.
Maybe next winter
Thanks for awesome tour of The Alabama
You're welcome
The next time you come here I would recommend Bellingrath Gardens. It is close to Dauphin Island and Bayou La Batre. Downtown , the home of Marduk Gras, has a lot to offer as well.
Very nice Robert! I've driven by and flown over the battleship museum area, but I have never stopped. Great footage. If you ever are in the Norfolk, VA area you'd enjoy the Nauticus Museum where the star of the show is the Battleship Wisconsin. It is set up very similar to the Alabama with the creepy mannequins etc. Gotta love Bucc-ee's! Great episode as I'm trying to get caught up from my hiatus.
Really enjoyed the video. I live in NC but I've been to Mobile, Dauphin Island and also the USS Alabama.
Thank you
Howdy Robert,many thanks for sharing yet another superb video here hailing from the 'Robert Morales Superproduction Video Company' which,need I point out,thoroughly enjoyed watching just now.Just keep the ball rolling bud,your efforts are greatly appreciated.Best wishes and cordial greetings from William 'across the Big Pond'.
The battleship is one of my favorite things to do in the area !! They have reenactments every two months. You should try for that one time. Very cool. Just don't try the food at the lunch counter in the park there.. no bueno... but my friend.. what a WONDERFUL video this time!! Very accurate depiction of the area of the world that has my heart !! You should come back and we will check o uh t the reenactment and then tour the florabama again!! All on me my friend.. be safe and have fun !! Kelly.
Thank you! I'll definitely be back in the area, maybe this summer.
By the way congrats with your 70000 subscribers pal!This nice number surely proves you are doing the right thing here.
Thank you William
I love your videos. Over the years your production has become very good. It would be an honor to meet you. Since I’ve been working from home, my wife and I have not been able to travel like you; but, doing so in an RV would be very interesting. I may see what renting one would be like for maybe a weekend.
bonjour robert comme toute vos vidéo celle la est superbe merci de réaliser mais rêve
👏🏼 .. awesome ! Great post as always.
God Bless..
Great video Robert
Keep it up!
Damn this is excellent. Thank you!
CONGRATULATIONS on Driving to the West being on Amazon Prime!!!
Thank you!
I was stunned to stumble across that on Amazon Prime last night! Had no idea that you had made it to Amazon! Couldn't resist adding a 5-star review, and telling everyone on Amazon that you're on RUclips as well---and to check out your other videos!!
Hey Robert, you should try the Shrimp Po-Boy at Wahoo's at Whale Harbor in the keys. As you often say, "Yum,Yum".
Battleship Park is cool ! We didn't have time to tour the Sub when we were there. Thanks for the tour. That makes our 3rd Sub tour now. One in Chicago and one in Wisconsin. Some Subs built during WW II were made in Wisconsin on Lake Michigan. (Manitowoc)
The Sub in Chicago is the U-505, a German Sub captured at sea during the war.
Cool, I'll have to see that one when I visit Chicago again
@@TravelingRobert We are planning to go back to Manitowoc WI. and take the ferry across Lake Michigan later this summer, to Ludington MI. a 4 hour cruise. I think it will be fun. So just sit right back and hear a tale...…..
Great video once again TR! Also love the backing music tracks (besides the theme song). Can I ask if you happen to produce it yourself? Especially the bass lines, they are marvellous!
Always a pleasure !! Loved the USS ALABAMA tour, thanks again !! I suppose you're still liking your new hitch ?! You seem very content in your Minitini - good for you !!! So much to choose from out there... I am still looking !! ha ha !! I'm becoming a professional shopper !! My wife fell in love with an Tiffin Allegro 45' Diesel pusher - WOW - that's a lot for a first timer !!! Best of all to you - the best RV videos on RUclips !!!! Your drone footage is the icing on the cake !!!
Thank you!
Robert excellent video
Gosh, Robert, I remember when you had under 10,000 subs. You're doing so great! I knew then..you would thrive on youtube..I just wish you would sing more. :)
