    I wish people could just watch and enjoy a video that took hours to produce without questioning little irrelevant things like whos driving. Great video guys, will totally love this road trip.

      ​@@suebeal4682 Luke mentioned that the reason Susie drives is so he can operate the camera. He can't safely drive and shoot video so Susie drives 😊😊

    You can see how much Luke loves Susan.
    Sometimes he melts around her ❤ He is so respectful when he speaks of her and to her. She puts a light in his eyes ❤

    Hi guys all the way from South Africa, you guys always inspire me to do things like that with my husband. But unfortunately the crime in our country makes us way too scared to actually do it. I am with you in spirit and enjoying watching you guys. Keep it up.

    Hello Luke and Susie, wonderful movie. Thank you. Luke, I had to laugh when you said oh things just hurt when you get over 40. Give it another 25 years and then we’ll talk. Ha ha ha can’t wait for the next two parts.
    Thank you for taking us along, Kathy

  • @janetburrows137
    @janetburrows137 Год назад +5

    Haha. I have too say guys. When you hit your 40’s, the body does react differently. That’s why I bought a caravan and stopped with the tent. I’ve 10 knee surgeries, 4 shoulder surgeries, 2 elbow surgeries, 2 big back surgeries and two new hips. I couldn’t get dressed in a ridge tent, so I went caravan. I’m 56 nearly too nearly 57. Even the caravan is causing issues. But I can’t give it up yet. I use my car tow ball too get my water and empty the loo. But I just love my caravan. I bought this van, it was second hand for mum and I after my dad died. My mum LOVED 🥰 AND I DO MEAN LOVED THE VAN I HAVE NOW. BUT unfortunately she died 3 yrs after I bought it. I still go out with the club. So if I have any small issues I’ve plenty of people too ask. It’s not the same without her, I must say. I still can’t sit on mums side of the van. But too be honest, I know this sounds stupid. I know they are both there with me in the van. I pass their grave yard every time I’m off somewhere and always ask as I’m passing, if they’re coming with me. I know that sounds crazy, but I do it every time. 🤷‍♀️🙏🫶❤️🇬🇧😇🙏😇🤷‍♀️🫶❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

    Hey guys I stopped one time at that Allsups in San Jon and it was the worst convenience store I’ve ever been in. Future hint, stop at the Russell’s Truck stop right across the border when you cross into New Mexico. They have awesome hamburgers. They also have a cool little car museum. Enjoyed the video.

  • @alexanderweaver7066
    @alexanderweaver7066 Год назад +1

    You guys are so enjoyable to watch. Your chemistry makes it happen. Susie mentioned teamwork and that perspective is spot on. I have been on a four month road trip up the entire West Coast. It's been super enjoyable sightseeing and making friends along the way. I nearly rented a studio in Hammond near Astoria, Oregon, due to the beauty of the coastline and the Columbia River. I am now in Lacey, Washington, and the beauty has not stopped. You are so right in that flying is not the best way to enjoy our country, Susie. Doing it like you two...driving it is literally the way to see, hear and feel the Air, smell the roses. It is 22:11 hours now so I will make my coffee and wish I could have some of those nachos. I will settle for halving an avocado for a snack. I will just kick back and enjoy your road trip movie. Great entertainment!

    Hey Luke and Suzie, another great video. My wife and I used to live in Smithville. You can find it by following Tenn 56 south from Silverpoint about 20 miles from I-40. You are right that this is a great place to fish. Since it is a mountain lake it gets deep fast. About 15 feet offshore the water is 30 or more feet deep. We spent many a weekend on Center Hill Lake. There are a number of parks and campgrounds around the lake.

Beautiful fullest moon ever coming up over the rocks!! This summer we are planning a trip into yellow stone. Haven't had chance to see it all and I can't wait!!

Have loved the Sierras and Redwoods in CA and the Great Smoky Mountains in TN. Looking forward to your fun out West! By the way I think I-40 through Arkansas is very pretty in most of the spots! Funny in that you the movie-maker ran into movie-makers filming on I-40 in NM! What spectacular scenic views from your very chilly and windy camp site in NM! Wow!

I've recently had surgery for my kidney disease and now have nephrostomy tubes from my kidneys. When I first got home, I couldn't imaging how I was to live with these and enjoy life. But, I've gradually learned how to navigate and creatively figure out ways to live with these tubes which are permanent.

    Me and husband did the trip from SW Oklahoma to WV in a U-haul carrying everything we owned in the back. We had just finished a 2 year stint for the Peace Corps in Africa, leaving there in the middle of the hot season. Got here in May and loved the "cool" weather driving to our new home. We were used to 110°F of the hot season in africa. It was like seeing the country for the first time. Arkansas has a section where the hills are very short. It was like rolling up and down on the crest of a wave and down again until you run into a combine harvester on the 2 lane country road! Watch out for the tarantula and scorpions in the West! Good memory. Hope you had some pecan deserts while in Arkansas!

    After 40 years of marriage, I can only remember Patty driving once because I was sick. It's just the way we rolled. Poison ivy is no fun. I am 64, trust me, growing old s not for sissies! I love watching y'all travel west. We were stationed in Arkansas so seeing the pyramid and the bridge over the Mississippi. (living on the edge, hahaha) Everywhere you go, I pause the video and look it up on Google Maps. Angel Peak Campground looks really cool. As I looked at the satellite pics of the campground I first thought you were at the base of a bluff. I switched to terrain and realized everything was backwards from what I thought.
    As you go to sleep at Angel peak in the video, I shall follow suit and pick back up tomorrow evening. Your travel videos are a big part of why i am going to hit the road. Staying put in the house is not doing me any good, so off I go!
    Stay safe and God bless.
