You should build an area by the university with bars and night life and also some big box stores. Very common near major universities these days. Also chain hotels.
I think adding the cable car will be a great addition! Really adds some spice into the skyline but for where the cable car ends, I suggest that you should stop it by the waterfront and not bring it all the way into the university because it just looks so out of place. The height difference between the cable car and the low density houses is too jarring
I agree, I think the last stop should be on the quay near the train museum. People can just catch a bus from there. Also I think it is too high up above the water
Yeah I agree taking it all the way down into the university is unnecessary and looks a bit out of place. Also, I’d say having the poles standing on buildings would create a series of safety and maintenance concerns that no city would want to deal with
My idea for the little island (playing the same map) was a festival area, also added lots of tents (from the nature reserve park), the fan zone, parks and all sorts. But as it was mentioned before it's ideal for an amusement park too. Interested to see your take on it. 😊 It could be called: Glastonferry (after Glastonbury)
I thought amusement park or festival area too, with the amusement park I had a worry that you couldn’t fit all the assets in the island so it might need a little bit of landscaping.. Also the entrance to the park could be on the coast with a pedestrian bridge to the island 😊 possibilities
I like the festival area too! Didn’t we see a festival asset in a prior episode? We can have an amphitheater and a boardwalk with ice cream shops and dance clubs.
@@countrye3013 Definitely, I have a servicing tunnel for mine, but it's set to be only used by service vehicles and trucks (I have some commercial on the island so they need goods), but I tried to force the festival goers to use the ferries. 😊
You could move that fort building (from behind the mountain near Myrtle) over to the river island and make a historic site/park connected by ferry - solve two problems at once. We have quite a few places like that in the US.
Bedford deserves a train station seeing as it has so much track passing by it, even for now if it’s only a shuttle. Also you could connect the cargo rail line to the Bedford passenger train station and then build a passenger station down by the stadiums on that line and have a train run on it that doesn’t necessarily pass through the central station. Additionally to solve your internal cargo distribution you could download the barges mod and make use of all the rivers you have near the industry and the city centre
I would be too loud, nobody would want to live there. It’s already pretty close to two stations, and its also still kinda small Edit: it also has two tram/bus lines in it
If you're thinking of expanding the campus area, It'd be really cool to see the outdoor study area up on the hill surrounded with dorms, maybe connected to the main campus with a cable car. How cool would it be to have a bunch of student housing around the hill with great views of the city!
I'd make that island some kind of national park with maybe a memorial or something? Think Ellis Island in NYC. Just a tourist destination you can only get to by ferry.
In Barcelona we have a cable car that runs from the port to the hill next to the ocean, so it gave me the idea that you could have the line go from the stadiums (maybe), to the port, up the hills where you had the mansions and to the castle/fort
I love the cable car in this little mountain section, it would be nice as just a chill park with an observatory and maybe a botanical garden or something? The view on the city from there would be so cool
If you're set on using cable cars on the map, I think it'll be better to use them in brand new areas farther down the beach that way you can plan around them. They don't necessarily have to be connected to absolutely everything and can just service some suburbs and areas outside the city center. I'd like to see them connect brand new areas together rather than connecting areas you built up already.
I like the idea of the cable cars, especially going down the hill toward the stadium (what a cool way to get to a game and be able to see all the arenas on your way in!), but I think it would be nice if from the top of the hill they followed the ridge and went over that old fort on the coast. Then the line could cross the water onto the little park peninsula so it didn't have to span as far, and then maybe eventually cross that mountain over toward the airport too. Then it could be a direct route for people flying in to get to the stadiums, and they could take a scenic tour of the city on the way! (I would absolutely do that if it actually existed. Every time I've visited a new city, I've made a point to find a place to see it from above and it's always worth it.)
doesnt building the cable car just defeat the whole purpose of the new ferry lines? i would've just made the cable car go from myrtle to bedford square over the mountain and nothing else. it could be imagined more like a tourist attraction like the london one or if you ended up making hiking trails that could be how the hikers got to the mountain?
Cable car is so freaking cool!!!!! It could maybe work going more over the hills towards that castle thingy and cross over water there where it’s close. The cable cars could become a beach to beach moment. Thank you for an amazing series
Here for the cable car idea sounds awesome! A monorail somewhere would be cool to maybe in the downtown area in the future. They are loud and difficult to place tho
I don't like the idea of the cable carts going through the city I think once you unlock all of the tiles then build a cable cart through the hills. Amazing series loving it!
Bedford Lore: William Bedford was a fisherman who set up his business on the other side of the river to avoid paying city taxes. Since he crossed the river every day to sell his fish in the city anyways he took people who needed to travel on his way to and from. People in the city who wanted to cross the river were shortening "Going to Bedford's ferry" to "Going to Bedford" and so the the village that formed on the other side that accomodated the travelers waiting for the ferry became known as Bedford to the townsfolk. His son Will Bedford was interested in sports and became a professional athlete. He inherited money from the ferry line and sponsored the building of stadiums on the other side of the newly formed city. He also invested in hotels and housing for the staff of the stadiums next door and so layed the groundwork for what came to be known as the Bedford Square. The ferry line became less and less popular over time thanks to the train line, busses and bigger until it was sold by the Bedford estate to new owners. They revitalized the company by adding new stops and rerouting the lines.
For the cargo rail, I think it'd be nice to tunnel under the national park mountain. like along the city-side edge a bit, not right through the whole mountain. Means you can do the whole go around plan, but a bit more direct. Also, for the island, you could make it another park, only reachable by ferry maybe? that'd make the ferry have a purpose other than scenic transport.
James, I think the cable car going through the city doesn't make sense. The building owner would never allow the cable car going up their roof, the house owner would be furious that now they have a cable car on their backyard lol. It would make sense if it just go across the river or going up the hills
I would love to see you do some custom dedicated bike lanes on some of the main roads. The painted bike lanes are so tacky - you could try and put a landscape strip between the bike lane and the main road. I think it would go well with the aesthetic of the city. I'd also love to see a nightlife or red light district - maybe in the area where all the railway bridges are near central? Also would love the island to be an alcatraz type prison island! Love the series so much!
I love the cable car idea. I've been on the one over the Thames and it's an absolutely awesome ride, so I think it should definitely stay over the water. That little island is crying out to be a park, maybe with lots of piers branching out of it? I think it would suit the area if it looked quite busy.
If you want some lore on the cargo line, you can think of your rails through the city as the historical line with shared cargo and passengers and the line you want to build around the city as the city trying to route the loud cargo trains around it.
You should use the cable car to connect all the different hills in the town, which already have less stuff built on and you have space for stops. Then you can have direct lines to the different areas and people can use the local bus/train lines for transport and get all the nice views of the city at the same time.
I love the relaxed pace of this. Maybe where the castle is can be a state park too and you can have the cable thing going from one state park to the other!
You should put a train station in Bedford so you can get a passenger line towards Spruce Heights and in the future, the rest of the region (also to note I am pretty sure the bug about passenger trains is fixed, my city has plenty of trains and there are not humongous amounts of them, and they are pretty full).
Cable car is a great idea! Maybe it could go from the first park area in the suburban part of the city (along the beach) over to the castle area (still locked I think?) then to the top of the mountain with the observatory and ending at stadiums? And then maybe just a separate short line between waterfront and the island? :)
This is genuinely my favourite videos on youtube rn. I dont watch cities skylines content, i havent watched other flabaliki/james turner videos in like five years so idk how youtube knew to recommend this to me but i am very thankful. I watched the first 14 episodes in like three days.
You made my day :D i love this lets play. I came across it by accident because I bought cities skylines a few weeks ago and was just looking for tips :D Thank you :)
I think the place you picked for the cargo harbor makes little sense, and will cause more problems than it solves. Wouldn’t a cargo harbor next to Spruce Hills, close to the coming airport, make a lot more sense? That’s closer to the industrial and the trucks wouldn’t have to go through the entire city. Then you could also use the area now designated for the harbor as a festival/entertainment area, which would make sense I think next to the stadiums.
Really think the port should be alongside the airport site, if you put it next to the downtown that area seems very small and really near residential etc.. Plus where the airport is going is a lot more accessible to the majority of the industrial from the beginning of the city. Just a thought 😊 The cargo station could be more for goods from future industry on the left of the downtown, could do a new goods station for the airport/port... Been loving the series, as an Architect and Masterplanner it's fun to see you make the same decisions as are made in real life! 🙌🏻
Amazing episode man! I love the tunneling idea for the train(s). I'd still add a toll on the highway, because you will really make some money! Also, for your ferry lines, I'd end up changing the colors, so they aren't the same. This is giving me some inspiration to purchase this game! God Bless and keep it up brother :)
You should zone high density over the hill that is next to bedford and chester. You could maybe reference san franisco while building?? I think that would look sweet!
I'm thinking Alcatraz for the river island. I feel the prison asset is really under used in all cities content but in reality it's kinda an unfortunate necessity.
I'd like to see a lighthouse, and maybe a old fishing village or something on that island. Just something left over from before the city was built. Make it a park with a small boat connection so people visit it.
@@bombaclat123 Hudson River had a lot of lighthouses as it cut through the Catskill Mountains, and seven are still standing! It helped navigate the boats between New York and Albany through the tidal Hudson
@@annatzipora6857 really! Now that it pretty interesting. I assume they would be a bit smaller than usual? I guess if you wanna sail some boats at night over a river you would need some kind of way to see islands etc but I would've thought you'd just plonk a lamp down not necessarily build a whole lighthouse.
Jo dude, if you want, I got some cool ideas for you: Campus: - Change the name into something rich, like Stafford Ridgewood or something. - place some water lakes around some places (in the campus) and in suburbs Bedford: - change name of Downtown to new Bedford The hanging railway: - make it so that goes right through the downtown area and ends at the stadium and island. Island: - have that one hanging railway station be the entrance to a small theme park on the island. Cargo: - have one cargo lane go through the middle of the big suburbs. On that big road in the middle and when it weirdly needs to cross roads, make a tunnel instead and go back on the surface when its going straight (like GTA 5). The old mansion hill: - make there an observatory
For the beach park you're going to build, you could elevate the tram turnaround and slope the beach down a little and it could look like a pier or connect to a pier, as part of the park.
I would stop the cable car at the island (if it had something for tourists, maybe a luxury hotel and/or restaurant. Or does the festival area fit there?) or at the waterfront. The people living on the other side would just call out the plans :D
You could develop the varsity sports up on the hill overlooking the university, or move the law school across the river and develop in the law school's spot!
If you’re wanting to go for realism, the cable car needs to go in a completely straight line. It’s very complicated and very expensive to put in turning mechanisms for cable cars and they’re even more expensive to maintain, so generally they’re avoided unless absolutely necessary. It’s fine for the cable car to change directions at stations though. That’s generally more often done, as the cars are removed from the cables to slow down. You are right about the people hating it going over their back gardens though. Just look at the history of the Portland, OR sky tram, which does just as such. There was mass complaining about it and land value in the area has shot down.
Personally I love the cable car. Maybe you could run it either along the foreshore to Bedford or on the blank hill behind. Then take it across the water to the satalite university and the to the actual university? A less direct route? Really hope you keep Bedford as a quaint tourist town.
You could turn the island into a small fishing community or something. If I recall correctly, Biffa used a mod that added barges that ship cargo from one stop to another. With that and the ferries, I feel you could make for a nice little fishing village smack dab between the major city and the suburb!
We have the ferry, buses, train, and cars that connect the city toward the university. I don't think the cable cars are needed. I think they could be a fun feature for when you build outward from Bedford. I know NY has the Roosevelt Island Tram (cable cars) that connects the city to Brooklyn over the river. Your map has that smaller island off of Bedford that you could utilize the cable cars for once you figure out what you want to build there. Or you could connect it to a peak in the national park and set up festival grounds there.
I like the cable car being long - but there's no need having it connect areas already well connected. Go from the uni and over the water to the bay not covered by ferries and out the the burbs and then industrial or something.
I think the cable car to the island would be cool and have an attraction like camping, park or amusement park. You could also have a cable car going to the castle or nature walks there and have a ferry stop right outside of it we have something similar back home and it has all seaside attractions, like little shops and eateries, you could also do fishing on the pier in that location.
A suggestion would be put a bus only road starting from the ferry stop at Coleridge and bridge is over to Myrtle as it prevents more traffic on the main road and also a more direct route for buses to go between the districts.
More than one line of public transport make sense if they go to/from different places. A line from Bedford along the water makes sense because otherwise they’d have to take the bus to the main station and the tram down instead of a direct line. Edit: nice bus line just got to u making it and I completely forgot about the ferry Edit 2: please look at some pictures of cable cars, especially in mountains. There is usually a pillar at the top of the cliff before the station. 30 meters height above the river is also more than enough, you overdid it a bit. Realistically you would build them as low as possible to minimize expenses Edit 3: the stop at the train station is awesome man, the way way it’s nestled in there with the elevation change is the definitive characteristic of urban cable cars
Heigh Heights lore: Theresa Hai was a farmer and land owner. Her family controlled a vast estate from the hills down to the valley that came to be known as the Hai Heights. When the city formed, she sold more and more uphill land to invest into the inner city firms that built on her land. The fact that the Hai Heights constituted more and more flat land made newspapers call it "Heigh Heights" mockingly. After her death, antitrust legislation split up the conflict of intrest of the inner city buildings being partly owned by their own landlord, selling the land to the buildings that were on it and the roads and parks to the city. This effectively resolved what was left of the Hai Heights, but created a new city district. The mayor who pushed the antitrust and created the new district, named it "Heigh Heights" officially because of the highrise buildings.
Cargo rail out around the National Park would be better than smashing through the city, or some weird tunnel bridge thing through the mountain and across the bay.
How about the cable car to get to the castle? Maybe? The hotel is as central as the hotels in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, that for some reason have mar (sea) in their name despite being up in the mountains...

Once we unlock all the tiles, I would love a bunch of small, backwoods river towns all connected by ferries and old dirt roads.
You should build an area by the university with bars and night life and also some big box stores. Very common near major universities these days. Also chain hotels.

I really like it in the university. It could have been sometime the students control and such
Agreed. I couldn't even watch the last 5 mins bc I got so sick.
Or maybe toward the castle area from the hill. I think the Fire Dept Helicopter pilots by the river would anoyed by the cable
Yeah I agree taking it all the way down into the university is unnecessary and looks a bit out of place. Also, I’d say having the poles standing on buildings would create a series of safety and maintenance concerns that no city would want to deal with

3 episodes a week!!
The cable cars is the type of thing you'd want to ride in real life just to ride it. For the view and the experience, not to get anywhere.
If only this game had such a thing...
If you're thinking of expanding the campus area, It'd be really cool to see the outdoor study area up on the hill surrounded with dorms, maybe connected to the main campus with a cable car. How cool would it be to have a bunch of student housing around the hill with great views of the city!
Oooh, so the little island between the two built up areas is a lovely place for either the mansions or an amusement park
amusement park with a fairy would be lovely
Maybe a haunted island
@@TheLastBeanBender and have a cable car connection between that and the old fort area. As two touristy areas.
Same as I thought 😅
@@16umarfarooq we could relocate the historic fort onto the island
I'd make that island some kind of national park with maybe a memorial or something? Think Ellis Island in NYC. Just a tourist destination you can only get to by ferry.
I'd consider adding a train station to Bedford as the city and the rail lines expand.
Maybe a party island would be a good idea on the little island? Only way to go to the island would be by ferries and a tolled highway. Just a thought!
I like it as a car-free island (mackinaw island, Michigan)
save the cable cars to connect mountain towns to stuff in the city. cable cars only look really nice if there is a lot of elevation
I mean, New York has one and it’s sick. That part of New York is pretty much entirely see level.
you should make a pathway on the future beach park and paint it with sand texture, so it looks like people are walking on the beach
In Barcelona we have a cable car that runs from the port to the hill next to the ocean, so it gave me the idea that you could have the line go from the stadiums (maybe), to the port, up the hills where you had the mansions and to the castle/fort
The cable car is great, although it should be next to the helicopter 🚁 depot, it seems kind of dangerous lol

The cable cars could become a beach to beach moment.
Thank you for an amazing series
Would love to see the city center called “Downtown Heights” 😆
Two episodes in two days🤩 lucky us, love your vids James keep it 💯

I don't like the idea of the cable carts going through the city I think once you unlock all of the tiles then build a cable cart through the hills. Amazing series loving it!
There should be nice big old trees lining the neighbourhood roads of bedford because the town was established in the city so long ago in game
Bedford Lore:
William Bedford was a fisherman who set up his business on the other side of the river to avoid paying city taxes. Since he crossed the river every day to sell his fish in the city anyways he took people who needed to travel on his way to and from. People in the city who wanted to cross the river were shortening "Going to Bedford's ferry" to "Going to Bedford" and so the the village that formed on the other side that accomodated the travelers waiting for the ferry became known as Bedford to the townsfolk.
His son Will Bedford was interested in sports and became a professional athlete. He inherited money from the ferry line and sponsored the building of stadiums on the other side of the newly formed city. He also invested in hotels and housing for the staff of the stadiums next door and so layed the groundwork for what came to be known as the Bedford Square.
The ferry line became less and less popular over time thanks to the train line, busses and bigger until it was sold by the Bedford estate to new owners. They revitalized the company by adding new stops and rerouting the lines.
The cable car makes a lot of sense, because the stadiums are probably connected to the university, so they have a quick bypass across the city.

It is so funny how it takes the ferry a couple days (in game) to go through the stops. Imagine this was a reality hahaha
You should put a train station in Bedford so you can get a passenger line towards Spruce Heights and in the future, the rest of the region (also to note I am pretty sure the bug about passenger trains is fixed, my city has plenty of trains and there are not humongous amounts of them, and they are pretty full).
i would loove to see bedford become a fishing town with harbours and a lighthouse, stuff like that
High Heights always reminds me of Park Park Industrial Park, I absolutely love it
I really liked the name Sunset Park as it was, because it's an actual neighborhood in Brooklyn!
Cable car is a great idea! Maybe it could go from the first park area in the suburban part of the city (along the beach) over to the castle area (still locked I think?) then to the top of the mountain with the observatory and ending at stadiums? And then maybe just a separate short line between waterfront and the island? :)

Not sure if plans have come up for it yet, but you should turn the island in the bay into an amusement part that's only accessible by ferry.
These videos are my favorite they’re so relaxing and entertaining
Two episodes in a row you're amazing thank you ❤❤

James, are you gonna do something on that midlle island, between the two built up areas? Its free real estate!
I'd like to see a lighthouse, and maybe a old fishing village or something on that island. Just something left over from before the city was built. Make it a park with a small boat connection so people visit it.
@@elise3455 A lighthouse on an island in a river? That is behind hills? Makes no sense.
@@bombaclat123 Hudson River had a lot of lighthouses as it cut through the Catskill Mountains, and seven are still standing! It helped navigate the boats between New York and Albany through the tidal Hudson
@@annatzipora6857 really! Now that it pretty interesting. I assume they would be a bit smaller than usual? I guess if you wanna sail some boats at night over a river you would need some kind of way to see islands etc but I would've thought you'd just plonk a lamp down not necessarily build a whole lighthouse.
@@bombaclat123 yeah, they’re about 3-5 levels tall and had living quarters for the families running the lighthouses!
Jo dude, if you want, I got some cool ideas for you:
Campus:
- Change the name into something rich, like Stafford Ridgewood or something.
- place some water lakes around some places (in the campus) and in suburbs
Bedford:
- change name of Downtown to new Bedford
The hanging railway:
- make it so that goes right through the downtown area and ends at the stadium and island.
Island:
- have that one hanging railway station be the entrance to a small theme park on the island.
Cargo:
- have one cargo lane go through the middle of the big suburbs. On that big road in the middle and when it weirdly needs to cross roads, make a tunnel instead and go back on the surface when its going straight (like GTA 5).
The old mansion hill:
- make there an observatory
I love this series so much!!!
For the beach park you're going to build, you could elevate the tram turnaround and slope the beach down a little and it could look like a pier or connect to a pier, as part of the park.
james maybe for your next city you could do a 1900-1930’s based city? i think that would be really cool
just want to let you know that i'm really enjoying this series. I always look forward to new episodes!
Cat Cafés serve coffee, but also have cats to play with while you drink!
I would stop the cable car at the island (if it had something for tourists, maybe a luxury hotel and/or restaurant. Or does the festival area fit there?) or at the waterfront. The people living on the other side would just call out the plans :D
You could develop the varsity sports up on the hill overlooking the university, or move the law school across the river and develop in the law school's spot!
Your putting these out faster than I can watch them. I fucking love it!!!
I love the cable car! I know I'm way behind on these, but i hope some cable car adventures end up remaining.
If you’re wanting to go for realism, the cable car needs to go in a completely straight line. It’s very complicated and very expensive to put in turning mechanisms for cable cars and they’re even more expensive to maintain, so generally they’re avoided unless absolutely necessary. It’s fine for the cable car to change directions at stations though. That’s generally more often done, as the cars are removed from the cables to slow down. You are right about the people hating it going over their back gardens though. Just look at the history of the Portland, OR sky tram, which does just as such. There was mass complaining about it and land value in the area has shot down.
Do an amusement park on the island that would look so cool
I vote cable car through the hills to Bowser's Castle, make a park area to attract visitors.
Omg I love when you post this kind of stuff 🥰🥰
I love when James is having so much fun with building he starts to do dirty old man cackles 😂 @ 1:12:21
Personally I love the cable car. Maybe you could run it either along the foreshore to Bedford or on the blank hill behind. Then take it across the water to the satalite university and the to the actual university? A less direct route? Really hope you keep Bedford as a quaint tourist town.
You could turn the island into a small fishing community or something. If I recall correctly, Biffa used a mod that added barges that ship cargo from one stop to another. With that and the ferries, I feel you could make for a nice little fishing village smack dab between the major city and the suburb!
We have the ferry, buses, train, and cars that connect the city toward the university. I don't think the cable cars are needed. I think they could be a fun feature for when you build outward from Bedford. I know NY has the Roosevelt Island Tram (cable cars) that connects the city to Brooklyn over the river. Your map has that smaller island off of Bedford that you could utilize the cable cars for once you figure out what you want to build there. Or you could connect it to a peak in the national park and set up festival grounds there.
I like the cable car being long - but there's no need having it connect areas already well connected. Go from the uni and over the water to the bay not covered by ferries and out the the burbs and then industrial or something.
I think the cable car to the island would be cool and have an attraction like camping, park or amusement park. You could also have a cable car going to the castle or nature walks there and have a ferry stop right outside of it we have something similar back home and it has all seaside attractions, like little shops and eateries, you could also do fishing on the pier in that location.
you know it's gonna be a good day when I wake up to some new cities skylines from James 🥳
A suggestion would be put a bus only road starting from the ferry stop at Coleridge and bridge is over to Myrtle as it prevents more traffic on the main road and also a more direct route for buses to go between the districts.
This is a great series :) Thanks James
More than one line of public transport make sense if they go to/from different places. A line from Bedford along the water makes sense because otherwise they’d have to take the bus to the main station and the tram down instead of a direct line.
Edit: nice bus line just got to u making it and I completely forgot about the ferry
Edit 2: please look at some pictures of cable cars, especially in mountains. There is usually a pillar at the top of the cliff before the station. 30 meters height above the river is also more than enough, you overdid it a bit. Realistically you would build them as low as possible to minimize expenses
Edit 3: the stop at the train station is awesome man, the way way it’s nestled in there with the elevation change is the definitive characteristic of urban cable cars
Bedford is everything Salton City ever wanted to be
Can you decorate some more in the little grass places in the downtown? It hurts a little to watch for me
The campus attractiveness is campus buildings + varsity sports (right under the bar graphs it tells you you have 0 for varsity sports)
cable car down to the beach would be such a cool tourist-y type thing
Turning the island into a nifty park, with the only way to it being the cable car would be so cute
the greatest surprise today
i love the cable cars! also i love the format of this episode, love seeing making the details
Heigh Heights lore:
Theresa Hai was a farmer and land owner. Her family controlled a vast estate from the hills down to the valley that came to be known as the Hai Heights. When the city formed, she sold more and more uphill land to invest into the inner city firms that built on her land. The fact that the Hai Heights constituted more and more flat land made newspapers call it "Heigh Heights" mockingly. After her death, antitrust legislation split up the conflict of intrest of the inner city buildings being partly owned by their own landlord, selling the land to the buildings that were on it and the roads and parks to the city. This effectively resolved what was left of the Hai Heights, but created a new city district. The mayor who pushed the antitrust and created the new district, named it "Heigh Heights" officially because of the highrise buildings.
You should do an Alcatraz on the island on the river! 😊
Cargo rail out around the National Park would be better than smashing through the city, or some weird tunnel bridge thing through the mountain and across the bay.
How about the cable car to get to the castle? Maybe?
The hotel is as central as the hotels in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, that for some reason have mar (sea) in their name despite being up in the mountains...
Love your content, my friend.
I am really really enjoying this series !! thank u for posting so many videos :))
