    Jacob don't even think about it. We know how hard you work, and we know how exhausting long distance driving can be. If you need a day off, take a day off. You don't have fans, you have friends, and we worry about you. As always, much love and safe travels.

    Jacob, never feel the need to apologize for taking a day off. In fact, if you need to take a few days in between videos, I don’t think anyone would be upset. Take care of yourself so you can continue living an adventure and providing us with great content.

    LOVE this type of content. When we're on the road, this is the stuff we look for and honestly, it's the best memories. Random roadside stops. And you do such a great job of communicating just why this is an important part of the 'American Road Trip' Thanks for making such pleasant videos, they truly brighten my day as well as prep me for my next adventure.

  • @AwkwardAnxiousJennifer
    @AwkwardAnxiousJennifer 3 месяца назад +15

    I enjoy your travel day videos. A little bit of footage through the windshield as you drive and a few random stops along the way is enough to make me happy! I especially enjoy footage of driving through mountains, because I used to LOVE driving through the Rockies when I lived in Denver, so that type of footage brings me a special kind of nostalgia.

Also, I don't travel at all and basically see new and exciting things through RUclips videos 😊 I give you credit, I don't know how you do all of this driving day after day - I can't spend more than two hours in the car without going stir crazy and being sore and tired.

    Jacob, it was cool what you said about geocaching. It's a great sport or hobby (however you look at it) and the fact that you travel the country would give you so many great opportunities to nab unique caches. Take a day or two for yourself on the road and see! I had almost a 10 year break, then during the pandemic, I got into it again as a way to keep active and get outside. Four years later and I'm still hooked!

    The Black Bird mascot looks exactly the same as one that they used to have at Yardbirds in Chehalis, Washington before it closed last year. There is still a massive bird in the front that doubles as a helicopter storage unit interestingly enough. The smaller Yardbird statue is now housed at the Lewis County Historical Museum in Chehalis, Washington.

It has been a fair staple here for decades. Also there is a nice model train exhibit. Plus in the first large building by convention center they have a great quilt display. It's not well marked and I think alot of people just pass it by. But I think you would enjoy it.
