The Mississippi River is not _in_ any state -- it flows along the borders of many states. The longest river in the US is the Missouri, arising in the Rockies and flowing to the Gulf of Mexico. By an accident of history, the lower section of the Missouri is called the "Mississippi" because nobody knew that the main tributary was the western branch.
It’s within the state of Minnesota where it starts several miles northwest of Minneapolis. Once it passes through the Twin Cities it becomes the border with Wisconsin
@@Big_Tex It was named improperly at the beginning of the country. Rivers are supposed to be named from it's longest origin point. That is not Minnesota, it's Montana.
@@MelissaBergIllustration It was named improperly at the beginning of the country. Rivers are supposed to be named from it's longest origin point. That is not Minnesota, it's Montana.
The river has to be contained totally in the state, that's why Missouri isn't the Missouri River and Mississippi isn't either. Both those rivers flow through many states.
The Sweetwater river in Wyoming was also one of the rivers, along with the Platte, North Platte, Snake, and Columbia that formed the corridor that the Oregon Trail followed.
It wasn't a video of the longest rivers in the United States. It was a video of each state's longest river that flows only within that one single state. The really big rivers are the ones that treat state boundaries as if they are merely imaginary lines on a map.
The Missouri River is the longest river in the US (3,767 km, or 2,341 miles). The Mississippi River (which my Dad grew up by) comes a close second at 3,765 km (or 2,340 mi). As for rivers I have played in as a child, there's the Kalamazoo river, Thornapple river and Manistee river all in Michigan. I've also seen the Grand River mentioned in this video.
If you really want to visit all the states you should look into getting an RV and you probably need at least 6 months to a year. I live in Michigan and have been to many states but most Americans will never see all 50 states. If, like most of us, you don't have that kind of time, choose a region. I sure hope you get to come and enjoy our beautiful country! ❤
I probably had mentioned to you 100 times that I was from Pennsylvania and that's exactly what it looks like where I live. Pennsylvania has hundreds of miles of lush forest and wilderness
As a truck driver, it's amazing how big this country and all the beautiful sights. Granted I can't stop for every single beautiful sight, such at rivers, mountains, city lines, but this occupation did give me an amazing opportunity to see the country and how beautiful it is.
America has more than 250,000 rivers totaling more than 3 million miles [4,828,032 km]. A number of rivers are named after Native American tribe names or Native American words. This video is about longest river that is only within 1 state. Mississippi River flows through 10 states & is 2,340 miles [3,766 km] long. It is flows from Minnesota south to Gulf of Mexico.
Something else to keep in mind is that these rivers are only the longest in each state and not always the most beautiful river in each state. In Oregon I think the Willamette and the Umpqua rivers go through much prettier areas In Oregon and California the Klamath river runs through one of the best natural areas in the US.
I'm from Georgia, I grew up hiking through the forest to my local river and wading in it's waters. During the dry season you could walk to the center and climb on top of huge rocks and boulders. During the rainy season those boulders would get swallowed up by the swollen river. Sometimes it would cause minor flooding in the immediate area. It would be too deep to walk in and the current would be strong enough to sweep you away, sometimes it would be strong enough to cause white water rapids in some parts of the river. I loved hiking there no matter the season because the forest is always so beautiful all year round.
The Mississippi, Missouri, Columbia, Ohio, Connecticut Rivers (and others) are not included in this list because they run through many states. His rule was only rivers that are entirely contained within just one state. The Mississippi and Missouri, which form a complex in some geographers' definitions, are absolutely enormous and dwarf any of the other rivers he lists here. I think the Mississippi-Missouri river complex is something like the second biggest in the world, or maybe third, after only the Nile and the Amazon.
The 'Flat Platte - A mile wide & an inch deep' is what the locals call it. I lived there for several years & it was the same all across the state. The local parks were all planted.
Not just the river is flat; it’s river valley is EXTREMELY WIDE, more than 6 MILES! I grew up in Fremont, which is 3 miles north of the river, & the whole town is COMPLETELY FLAT, due to lying ENTIRELY in the Platte River valley. I'll say one thing: it was SO NICE to not have to deal with any hills when learning how to drive in winter weather!
North Carolina also has the Catawba River (217 miles), the French Broad River (213 miles), the Cape Fear River (202 mile), and the Yadkin River (215 miles), plus several more rivers that go through multiple states, such as the New River (360 miles), the Roanoke River (410 miles), and the PeeDee River (232 miles). The rivers in the east coast states are a major reason the population is more dense.
I'm a lifelong resident of Rhode Island. Yes, it is beautiful, and everything is close together. It is not unusual here to hear Portuguese being spoken, because we have many immigrants from Portugal, the Azores, and Cape (Cabo) Verde.
As you requested: I was born in Pennsylvania and grew up right next to the Susquehanna River in a small town called Kingston, right across the Susq. from the larger city of Wilkes-Barre. It has a history of occasionally becoming angry and flooding all the towns and cities along that stretch. In 1936, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built an earthen dike system to protect the cities in the area. The dikes were built to protect up to a flood stage of 38 feet on the depth gage at Wilkes-Barre. But, in 1972, the remnants of Hurricane Agnes, a hurricane that had made landfall in Florida a few days earlier, stalled over the region and saturated the watershed so badly that officials projected the river crest would top the 38-foot dikes. Tens of thousands of local residents turned out with shovels and came to fill sand bags and stack them in a many miles long barrier to raise the effective height of the Army Corps' dikes to 40 feet. Ultimately (and sadly) the river crested at 40.1 feet. Yes, if you can imagine the irony! The City of Wilkes-Barre and all its outlying suburbs were devastated as were also all the small towns and boroughs on the west side of the river. Wilkes-Barre's center commercial and business district took 8 feet of water, destroying all businesses. On the west side, my boyhood hometown of Kingston is more low-lying and took a devastating depth of water in some sections. In the lowest region nearest the river dike, the skyline was known for residential streets neatly lined with the classic, three-story wood-frame houses common to the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania. As a high school student, I volunteered to help a few of my friends' families clean out their houses after the water receded. Most folks, before evacuating, moved their most expensive furniture and valuables up to the second floor for safety. But all was for nought when they returned to discover the houses took as much as 7 feet of water on the THIRD floor attics in some places! Aerial photos show nothing but the gable roof peaks and brick chimneys piercing the surface of the swirling, murky, filthy sea of debris. Everything was left coated with a thick layer of light brown river mud that harbored typhoid and giardia (a type of intestinal bacteria that... well you can guess!) Everybody just scraped it off the walls and ceilings and then shovelled it out the doors and windows into the street along with all their furniture, TV's, refrigerators, etc. where Civil Defense authorities were making runs with 20-ton front end loaders to scoop it all up and haul it to landfills. The mud had the most putrid, rancid, sour smell anyone could ever imagine. To this day, more than 50 years later, I still cannot forget that horrid smell. 😢 On a happier side note, the name of the river valley I'm talking about above is the "Wyoming Valley." And, oddly enough, the State of Wyoming was named after our tiny little Pennsylvania valley by early settlers who migrated there from our area. The name Wyoming is believed to have come from the Leni-Lanape Indian word "meecheweemiing" meaning "at the big plains."
Michigan is a gorgeous state, from the Great Lakes, the Sand dunes, the pictured rocks, the many waterfalls, beaches, light houses, mountains, hills, the Mackinaw Bridge, the fall colors, skiing, boating, fishing...the food is top notch, better than anything you can find in the south. Pure Michigan, or as I call it, Michigan the beautiful.
He is listing the longest river that begins and ends in each state. If it crosses into another state, he doesn't count it. The Mississippi crosses 10 states.
The Platte River area in Nebraska is a beautiful river. Iowa is flat and has a lot of cornfields. It's really a beautiful state. I wouldn't live there, I'm a mountain person and Iowa is too flat. It's gorgeous though. The James River was named for King James I. A lot of places in that region are named after English monarchs. Yes, Christopher Columbus was looking for a route to put him closer to the spice trade of China and India.
I live in New Jersey right along the border to Pennsylvania and the border is the Delaware river. We spent a lot of time at the Delaware Water Gap doing things like tubing, fishing, hiking as kids especially. I think most Americans love the outdoors and even many that live in the city like to escape and relax. I'm no longer able to do such physical things but my husband and I still visit many of the varied (and beautiful) parks, gardens, and historical sites around our area. You may not know but George Washington made his famous crossing on the Deleware River so there is a lot of Revolutionary war and colonial history here so there are always places for some small adventures.
I live within a mile of the Susquehanna. You really need to see Pennsylvania in the fall when the leaves are changing color. It will take your breath away.
I grew up along the Flint River in Georgia. Swam in it many times. There are alligators, venomous snakes, even bull sharks. And that's just in the water. Black bears and Florida panthers live in areas near the Flint and its tributaries. We recently had a black bear foraging around our town for a week or so before it moved on. Thank you for the reactions!
I was born & raised near Harrisburg Pennsylvania, the Susquehanna River flows through it. There are many small islands in the Susquehanna in that area When I was a child my grandparents had a cabin on Hill Island, near 3 Mile Island, where we spent a lot of time during the summer months. My grandfather had a boat and enjoyed fishing, I enjoyed going along for the ride.The flood that followed Hurricane Agnes in 1972 put and end to that. When driving to New York I cross the Susquehanna a few times at various spots. It makes me feel like I'm still close to home. I live in Maryland now, it's beautiful here by the ocean, but I miss the scenery and culture of my home state.
The Mississippi River goes through and forms the borders of many states, which is unsurprising, as it is the 4th longest river in the world. And the Colorado River in Texas, is completely different than the Colorado River that goes through the Grand Canyon. In fact, they end in different oceans. I know the one in Texas as the Little Colorado River, but that might just be Coloradans making fun of Texans.
Im from Maine and I have always lived near the Kennebec River which is just one of a bunch of rivers that are almost all the same size. I have swam, boated, fished and white water rafted in this river as well as boated and fished in Moosehead Lake which it flows out of at the foot of mountains. Maine is amazing.
Speaking of US geography, I’ve spent the day at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, in the North Dakota badlands. Spectacular views and geography, not to mention wild bison and horses.
Love going fishing on the Gasconade here in Missouri with my grandpa. We'll take the boat through rapids with probably well under 15cm of water, scraping the bottom, but we make it through in his old Jon-boat with a jet instead of a propeller. Great fishing, bald eagles all along the river, great views. Probably my favorite river. I live right next to the Missouri river, it's big and fast and muddy (It's called the Big Muddy). The smaller rivers are more fun, but it's impressive.
I looked it up, the longest river in Portugal that only floes in Portugal is Rio Mondego. It has its source in Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain range in mainland Portugal (i.e. excluding the Portuguese islands). It runs 234 kilometres (145 mi) from the Gouveia municipality, at 1,425 metres (4,675 ft) above sea level in Serra da Estrela, to its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean next to the city of Figueira da Foz. It is longer than the first 8 rivers in this video
There is a cheesy country song that speaks truth to my soul..."Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee; never knew how much that muddy water meant to me"! Check out the video to see the reality. I grew up a river rat on that Chattahoochee in Alabama. I loved it. Fishing, swimming, skiing, tubing, kayaking and rafting. OMG, those hot hot summer nights with nothing to do.... We were making out and hanging out down at the river. Fun fun fun! This brought those good times back to me. Great reaction.
12:23 Andre because of America's coastline in our river systems and our Great lakes there is something called the Great loop. You can fly into Miami Florida.... You get a boat you start heading north up the east coast of America all the way to New York You can stop add all of the states along the way Then you go inland through the Great lakes until you get to the Mississippi River Then you come down the Mississippi River right through the center of America down to the Gulf of Mexico Once again you can stop at all the states that you passed through and stay there as long as you like it's made to be a trip Once you're in the Gulf of Mexico you just follow the other side of Florida all the way down around the Florida keys, and back to Miami You've seen so much of america, you never had to drive on a single highway, if you get a boat that has sleeping quarters you don't have to rent a hotel room And the trip takes you through many large cities including Chicago which is what you're looking at right now I believe
You can pause as much as you want. I enjoy the views as well. I looked and you do have several rivers in Portugal. I bet they are beautiful as well. If you want to do a video on each of the states, there are many out there put out by the state's tourist bureau that talk about the different features of each. An I am sure they would love it if you did use their videos. A friend and I canoed along the Grand River in Michigan, but didn't do our homework and the section we started in (Near Jackson) was not easy. The flow was slow and there were many trees that had fallen across it. We went under some, pulled the canoe over some and finally gave up just as it was getting dark and we had reached the part that got wider/faster and cleared of trees. It took us all day to go half as far as we had planned and had to have someone pick us up and take us to our vehicle. It was an adventure I won't forget. We didn't see one house or building along the whole route.
i was born in Louisiana and spent most of my life, and I still currently live, in Arkansas and raised on the rivers and lakes of the states.. but have also lived in Mississippi,Kentucky,Missouri, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, California and Washington state
I live a few miles from the St Johns River in Florida. Jacksonville has a lot of bridges since it runs right through the middle and dumps into the Atlantic on the northeast end. I grew up near Pittsburgh, PA, which has the most bridges (446) of any city in the US. It sits at the intersection of 3 rivers.
We do float trips on many rivers. They range fro. Super slow in an inner tube with another inner tube holding a cooler, to guided white water rafting. Google Missouri float trips.
No, Andre, the Colorado River in Texas is NOT the same river as the Colorado River in the Southwest that formed the Grand Canyon or forms Lake Mead at the Hoover Dam. His list is for rivers that are entirely within ONE state.
Pennsylvania here! When I was really young, my family would visit Crooked Creek State Park. There was a ton of stuff to do there like swimming, fishing, boating, camping, hiking, making mountain pies & s'mores over the fire. There was a small creek near our house too where my brothers & I would catch fish & crawfish. We'd spend hours there & only went home when we got hungry or if it started to get dark.
I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania & I love the Great Allegheny Passage . It's a bike trail that runs along the Youghigheny River from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C. My youngest son has ridden his bike the full length & back. The most my husband & I will ride our bikes is about 14 miles total. It's still a lot of peddling!
Pennsylvania here! I grew up going to an amazing camp in Poccno Mountains in Pennsylvania. The camp was directly on The Delaware River. My camp, Camp Hagen, was for girls, and there was Camp for boys, Camp Miller closeby. We had a brother/sister hike where we hiked mid way between the camps and shared a great time. I always met my brother there. We are both closing in on 80, and just the other day, my brother said some of his most cherished memories were of those hikes. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state, but it isn't thought about much. We have a great part of history, including the founding of the US, critical battles of the Civil War, and the Revolutionary War. We have Native American Tribal history, mountains, lakes, several large rivers,and we are close to the Atlantic Ocean. Philadelphia is also a very important harbor for trade. Most importantly, we have Phila Cheese Steaks! Lawrence of Lost in the Pond posted a great road trip through Pennsylvania, and he loved it. Please check it out.
Out of the seven oldest rivers in the world, four of them are located in the US. The Colorado River is the sixth oldest, the Susquehanna River is the fifth oldest, the French Broad River is the fourth oldest, and the New River is the second oldest river in the world.
have swam in the Patuxent river and the most southern half of the Susquehanna river most my life. i actually live where it ends exactly at the Chesapeake Bay. love from Maryland.
The Mohawk were a native American tribe, yes, a member of the historically important Iroquois confederacy ("Six Nations"). The haircut is named after them, although if there is any evidence they actually used that hairstyle historically, I'm not aware of it. The river is likely named for the tribe as well in this case (although there are other cases wherein the names we know for some tribes, come from their names for bodies of water around which they lived). I used to know a guy from Iowa. You know that old saw about being able to see a corn bin from twenty miles away in Iowa? He told me that's literally possible, if you look out a second-story window. I had assumed it was an exaggeration, but he said no, that's real. None of the states are large enough to contain really *long* rivers within their borders. The Mississippi river for example is over two thousand miles long; we have some pretty big states, but they're not THAT big. Even Alaska is not large enough to contain a river like that. There's an Andrews River, near Cape Cod. It's about 2000 ft long and empties into a bay at Harwich Port. "Andrew River" is etymologically unlikely, since rivers named after people usually use the surname, rather than the given name. ("James" is, of course, both a given name and a surname.) Yes, Columbus landed in the Caribbean and assumed he was in east Asia (Indonesia or some place like that), because he was ignorant of basic geography facts like the size of the earth. (That's why he had such a hard time finding sponsors. Regular people didn't know much geography in his day, but the sorts of people who controlled enough money to finance his expedition, had access to books, and they could tell that Columbus didn't know what he was talking about.) His larger mistake, though, was failing to know even the most basic things about how prevailing winds and ocean currents work. He planned an unbelievably terrible route from Europe to the Americas. On the plus side, he was enough of a shameless self-promoter, that once he discovered a route to the West Indies, it wasn't very long before all of Europe knew about it and that, as they say, is history. The Colorado River that's famous, isn't the one in Texas; the famous one didn't make this list because it runs through multiple states (5 in America, and 2 in Mexico). The most famous portion runs through the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona.
You missed the intro part where the guy mentioned that all these rivers he's showing are contain within each state. The Mississippi river spans almost the entire vertical half of the U.S. so it's not included. Oh, and about you going to all the states in one go. If you want to go crazy one year is 52 weeks, so you can spend 1 week at each state and have 2 weeks left to visit our territories. Like Guam, Dominican Republic, American Samoa, etc. But I can understand if you didn't want to go that crazy lol
You mentioned how beautiful the Susquehanna River was in pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is extremely beautiful especially in the northwest part of the state. We have what is called the Pennsylvania Grand canyon. It is also officially known as Pine Creek Gorge. You should find some videos on that and see how beautiful that really is. Most people Overlook Pennsylvania and focus on the western states. But Pennsylvania has a lot to offer if you ever want to know more I'm here to help.
I vacationed in Pennsylvania often as a child in the Pocono Mountains. I have very fond memories Of many hours in the Delaware River. Tubing, fishing, wading, shell hunting (muscle and snail), splashing, rafting, canoeing, fireworks, . . .
If you're interested in this topic, research the Continental Divide, and Laurentian Divide. That and how the Army Corps of engineers were able to reverse the flow of the Chicago River, pictured in the beginning of the video. And, the Mississippi originates in Minnesota (which these guys don't give enough credit to) that empties into the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans.
Just a side note. We also have a Flint River that runs through Flint Michigan. The city was named after the river. The Indians in the area called it the "river of Flint". P.S. none of us trust drinking out of the river after the Flint river water crisis 10 years ago. Research that.
@@bethdabruzzo7112 I don't know. Lol. Unfortunately a majority of people in America never understand the geography & diversity of America. I'm trying to experience it all.
If you visited all 50 states in ten years your main memories will be airports, train stations, and car rentals. Then there will be cities which are largely the same with tall buildings and traffic. Take pictures as you hurry to the next spot. That way you will be able to remember your trip.
I just took my dogs swimming in the Yakima River on Sunday! Had to pull at least 4 ticks off each of them when we got home. Small price to pay for fun in the sun!
"Black water" rivers are formed by draining swampy areas where there is more anaerobic decomposition and the waters move so slowly that the pigments are leached from the dead leaves making the water look like black tea (at its darkest).
The two things you have to know about Iowa and Nebraska are their names and corn. That pretty much everything about them…😁 If you think the Grand Canyon looks like Mars, Idaho has a place named "Craters of the Moon"… The Texan Colorado River is not the famous one that runs through several states and ends in California.
The source, the headwaters, of the mighty and enormous Mississippi River might surprise you. It begins as a tiny creek in a small lake in northern Minnesota called Lake Itasca. I had the good fortune to visit it once on a cross-country drive, and I consider my claim to fame is to have stepped across the Mississippi in one large step... with both feet on the ground on opposite sides! It picks up its massive water flow from the huge country sized watershed as it goes along its 2,340 mile (3766 km) length, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico just south of New Orleans.
I've lived in the US my whole life, and I have not yet visited all 50 states. I've never been to Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, ...
Newish subscriber here, I do rather enjoy watching your reactions to things here in America. I as a lone Missouri boy do have the same kinds of interests for other parts of the world like Europe, Asia, etc. I hope someday I get up the courage to go and visit these places. Thanks for sharing your reactions, and don't feel bad about pausing so much. You have to get your point across, and also it is your channel. Keep it up!
Im from a small city called Coldwater in Michigan. The has a chain of lakes to the south that stretch probably 18-20 miles,and another chains to the west that cover 9-10 miles. Just in the 2 chains of lakes theres 13 lakes i believe. Rivers crossing all sides of the city. Lots of woods and farm land. If you drive Indiana to Michigan the interstate runs straight through town as soon as you cross the border. I manage an old time root beer stand in town that's very popular here in the summer. If you make your way to Coldwater Michigan,find the root beer stand I'll take you out on my boat. (Josh)
the missouri river is the longest river in the US. at 2,341 miles (3,767 km) the reason it's not on this list is because it runs through 6 other states besides missouri.
I'm from Pennsylvania 😊 but I'm from Pittsburgh on the west side of the state, but spent many summers by the susquehanna river, my family is spread out all over PA ❤️
The thing is the United States is HUGE. All of Europe would fit within it, so it would take a while to visit all the states. There is actually a road trip you can take through the lower 48 (doesn't include Alaska and Hawaii ofcourse). That's trip I want to take some time.
The Mowhawk is across the state from me, it's about an Eastward drive about 3 hours to Rome, NY. Instead I have the Genesee River just 10 minutes away (not in the video because it originates in PA), the Buffalo River (more of a creek but whatever), and the Niagara River is an hour away (of course not in the video because it's both short and forms the border between NY and Ontario, Canada) if you would have reacted to those 5 videos on NY I emailed you would have seen the Genesee River.
I live in Pennsylvania I happen to live one mile from the Susqhehanna river. It's beautiful here! I was at a Vista at Susqhehannock Park yesterday. I saw alot of eagles. I Love my state it's beautiful!
Pennsylvania is a pretty state. Very high likelihood you are somewhere scenic if you are there. To visit all 50 in ten years you better get 'crackin'. The Mississippi river runs through many states. This is a list of rivers only within one state. There is a Saint-André River in Quebec Canada. I remember that. The Missouri River is the longest in the US. Mississippi River is in second place.
I grew up in a town on the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, which is beautiful when it stays within its banks, not so much in flood times. Lots of German heritage along that river :)
Unless you know specificr terrain of landmarks, the only way you might know if youre in one state or another is by the license plates on the cars, or signs. For example. From the ground, Maine or New Hampshire look the same especially the wooded areas. This is because some state boundaries are defined by natural barriers, and some were often drawn politically. On foot, its more difficult to get the same views as from the air, especially in dense forests.
What you're missing is that these are the longest rivers entirely in that state. If you included long rivers like the Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Red, Colorado, etc., that flow through or form the boundaries of multiple states, the same rivers would come up over and over again.
James river in Virginia is cool. I've done military exercises on it. We store old mostley medical ships on it. Some of those ships were recommissioned during desert storm.
I'm originally from Pennsylvania (I now live in Maryland, near the Patuxent river that was mentioned on this list), and I can say that the state has it's problems, but a lack of natural majesty isn't one of them. It is a beautiful state with a great amount of geographic diversity, a full four seasons (hot summers, cold winters, and fall foliage), mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, forests and farmland. Now if the state government could just get it's act together and help fix the economy...
Really limits himself when focusing only on rivers completely inside a single state - missing out rivers the states are named after like the Connecticut River and most important ones like the Hudson in NY state and of course the Mississippi, Missouri, Colorado, Columbia, etc). New Hampshire pronunciation: ham (like the food), a slight p (puh) sound, then say the English word sure. You can even leave out the p sound. Ham-sure. Close enough and better than what you’ve been struggling through. Vermont is beautiful indeed. He mentions Middlebury - which is home to the gorgeous Middlebury College. Truly stunning with autumn foliage. Aside: love that you know and often reference Bob Ross paintings!
Grew up on the St. Mary's river. Another black water river, cause the water is dark and you can't see the bottom. Alligators, cotton mouth snakes, ect but we swam in that black water as kids. Never had a problem lol.
I told you multiple times in the past that Pennsylvania is a very beautiful state and you ignored it. You never talk about Pennsylvania my home state and it is stunning hundreds of miles of wilderness and mountains and rivers and waterfalls in history and incredible food ❤
Off the subject... You mentioned visiting the United States. I hope you can one day. If you are planning for this trip in 10 years, save up on your vacation time so you can spend longer in the U.S. Once you spend money flying out here, best to try to see it all, unless you are going to make several trips in the future and each trip you can break up different parts of the U.S. to see. You do not have to spend maybe a third of your vacation driving here to there. U.S. is very big. For Hawaii, you do have to fly to one the islands. What my husband and I did some 20 years ago (my first visit), spent half the vacation on a cruise to one can stop and visit each populated island. We got married on the island of Kauai and spent the night at the Princeville Resort. Beautiful place, if you are into more of natural landscape and not overcrowded like the shopping tourist cities. Once you get here in the U.S., and you can spend months, a year, rent a small camper and drive. You can visit what you like to see, on your own time schedule than taking a tour bus, train, airplane. I do not know if you would do this, ask your fan base if they would invite you to stay at their home. It is nice to get a break and take a shower in a home than one in a campsite or in your camper. You can spend time with your host, and they can give pointers what to see in their town and visit the mom-and-pop own stores that the locals only know about and/or suggest what to see on route to your nest city/national park, etc. That can save money on expenses, or if they do not have room, maybe they will let you park your R.V. at their place so you save on campsite prices. Remember, to plan your route and put it together/map how you can see a lot without driving back and forth from one end of the states to the other. I have a small apartment next to L.A.X., CA
These are rivers that are completely within the state. That rules out the largest rivers, the Mississippi, the Missouri, the Ohio, the Colorado, etc.
As he said at the beginning, these are the river that are entirely WITHIN one state. That is why the Mississippi River is not on the list
Please please please do a channel or series where you focus on each state. I think you would be fascinated by the diversity and hidden gems that each state has. Alot of fascinating things get over looked with the fast format videos.
And we can all chime in from our state. That would be fun
This is what I would like.
We have tried to get him to do that but he won't despite it being his idea a month ago. I have sent him 5 videos on NY and he just ignores them.
@@cp368productions2true ny content thats not specifically focused on NYS just talks about /shows footage of the city so i feel like all these channels think nys is just one big city spanning up to canada lmfao
I'm game.
The Andre River is a 50.4 mile tributary of the Missouri River in SW Arkansas.
The Mississippi River is not _in_ any state -- it flows along the borders of many states. The longest river in the US is the Missouri, arising in the Rockies and flowing to the Gulf of Mexico. By an accident of history, the lower section of the Missouri is called the "Mississippi" because nobody knew that the main tributary was the western branch.
Well - it’s definitely within the borders of Minnesota in its early stage, I’ve been to the source.
It’s within the state of Minnesota where it starts several miles northwest of Minneapolis. Once it passes through the Twin Cities it becomes the border with Wisconsin
@@Big_Tex It was named improperly at the beginning of the country. Rivers are supposed to be named from it's longest origin point. That is not Minnesota, it's Montana.

The river has to be contained totally in the state, that's why Missouri isn't the Missouri River and Mississippi isn't either. Both those rivers flow through many states.
Didn't see the Potomac either. Good call.
Yeah if through multiple states, then ny would get the hudson
The Sweetwater river in Wyoming was also one of the rivers, along with the Platte, North Platte, Snake, and Columbia that formed the corridor that the Oregon Trail followed.
For comparison, the longest river in Portugal is Rio Mondego which is 234 km (145 mi) long.
It wasn't a video of the longest rivers in the United States. It was a video of each state's longest river that flows only within that one single state. The really big rivers are the ones that treat state boundaries as if they are merely imaginary lines on a map.
The Missouri River is the longest river in the US (3,767 km, or 2,341 miles). The Mississippi River (which my Dad grew up by) comes a close second at 3,765 km (or 2,340 mi). As for rivers I have played in as a child, there's the Kalamazoo river, Thornapple river and Manistee river all in Michigan. I've also seen the Grand River mentioned in this video.
If you really want to visit all the states you should look into getting an RV and you probably need at least 6 months to a year. I live in Michigan and have been to many states but most Americans will never see all 50 states. If, like most of us, you don't have that kind of time, choose a region. I sure hope you get to come and enjoy our beautiful country! ❤
22:43 Yeah. You are correct. He thought he was in India, hence Indians.
I love the Bob Ross mention! 😂
There is one place in the US named Andre, Ohio, postal zip code 45694. Andre, OH is 85 miles from the state capitol, Columbus.
I probably had mentioned to you 100 times that I was from Pennsylvania and that's exactly what it looks like where I live. Pennsylvania has hundreds of miles of lush forest and wilderness
As a truck driver, it's amazing how big this country and all the beautiful sights. Granted I can't stop for every single beautiful sight, such at rivers, mountains, city lines, but this occupation did give me an amazing opportunity to see the country and how beautiful it is.
America has more than 250,000 rivers totaling more than 3 million miles [4,828,032 km]. A number of rivers are named after Native American tribe names or Native American words. This video is about longest river that is only within 1 state. Mississippi River flows through 10 states & is 2,340 miles [3,766 km] long. It is flows from Minnesota south to Gulf of Mexico.
Something else to keep in mind is that these rivers are only the longest in each state and not always the most beautiful river in each state. In Oregon I think the Willamette and the Umpqua rivers go through much prettier areas In Oregon and California the Klamath river runs through one of the best natural areas in the US.
I'm from Georgia, I grew up hiking through the forest to my local river and wading in it's waters. During the dry season you could walk to the center and climb on top of huge rocks and boulders. During the rainy season those boulders would get swallowed up by the swollen river. Sometimes it would cause minor flooding in the immediate area. It would be too deep to walk in and the current would be strong enough to sweep you away, sometimes it would be strong enough to cause white water rapids in some parts of the river. I loved hiking there no matter the season because the forest is always so beautiful all year round.
The Mississippi, Missouri, Columbia, Ohio, Connecticut Rivers (and others) are not included in this list because they run through many states. His rule was only rivers that are entirely contained within just one state. The Mississippi and Missouri, which form a complex in some geographers' definitions, are absolutely enormous and dwarf any of the other rivers he lists here. I think the Mississippi-Missouri river complex is something like the second biggest in the world, or maybe third, after only the Nile and the Amazon.
The 'Flat Platte - A mile wide & an inch deep' is what the locals call it. I lived there for several years & it was the same all across the state. The local parks were all planted.
Not just the river is flat; it’s river valley is EXTREMELY WIDE, more than 6 MILES! I grew up in Fremont, which is 3 miles north of the river, & the whole town is COMPLETELY FLAT, due to lying ENTIRELY in the Platte River valley. I'll say one thing: it was SO NICE to not have to deal with any hills when learning how to drive in winter weather!
I'm from western PA. It's a very beautiful state indeed, especially the more rural areas!
North Carolina also has the Catawba River (217 miles), the French Broad River (213 miles), the Cape Fear River (202 mile), and the Yadkin River (215 miles), plus several more rivers that go through multiple states, such as the New River (360 miles), the Roanoke River (410 miles), and the PeeDee River (232 miles). The rivers in the east coast states are a major reason the population is more dense.
I'm a lifelong resident of Rhode Island. Yes, it is beautiful, and everything is close together. It is not unusual here to hear Portuguese being spoken, because we have many immigrants from Portugal, the Azores, and Cape (Cabo) Verde.
As you requested: I was born in Pennsylvania and grew up right next to the Susquehanna River in a small town called Kingston, right across the Susq. from the larger city of Wilkes-Barre. It has a history of occasionally becoming angry and flooding all the towns and cities along that stretch. In 1936, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built an earthen dike system to protect the cities in the area. The dikes were built to protect up to a flood stage of 38 feet on the depth gage at Wilkes-Barre. But, in 1972, the remnants of Hurricane Agnes, a hurricane that had made landfall in Florida a few days earlier, stalled over the region and saturated the watershed so badly that officials projected the river crest would top the 38-foot dikes. Tens of thousands of local residents turned out with shovels and came to fill sand bags and stack them in a many miles long barrier to raise the effective height of the Army Corps' dikes to 40 feet. Ultimately (and sadly) the river crested at 40.1 feet. Yes, if you can imagine the irony! The City of Wilkes-Barre and all its outlying suburbs were devastated as were also all the small towns and boroughs on the west side of the river. Wilkes-Barre's center commercial and business district took 8 feet of water, destroying all businesses. On the west side, my boyhood hometown of Kingston is more low-lying and took a devastating depth of water in some sections. In the lowest region nearest the river dike, the skyline was known for residential streets neatly lined with the classic, three-story wood-frame houses common to the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania. As a high school student, I volunteered to help a few of my friends' families clean out their houses after the water receded. Most folks, before evacuating, moved their most expensive furniture and valuables up to the second floor for safety. But all was for nought when they returned to discover the houses took as much as 7 feet of water on the THIRD floor attics in some places! Aerial photos show nothing but the gable roof peaks and brick chimneys piercing the surface of the swirling, murky, filthy sea of debris. Everything was left coated with a thick layer of light brown river mud that harbored typhoid and giardia (a type of intestinal bacteria that... well you can guess!) Everybody just scraped it off the walls and ceilings and then shovelled it out the doors and windows into the street along with all their furniture, TV's, refrigerators, etc. where Civil Defense authorities were making runs with 20-ton front end loaders to scoop it all up and haul it to landfills. The mud had the most putrid, rancid, sour smell anyone could ever imagine. To this day, more than 50 years later, I still cannot forget that horrid smell. 😢
On a happier side note, the name of the river valley I'm talking about above is the "Wyoming Valley." And, oddly enough, the State of Wyoming was named after our tiny little Pennsylvania valley by early settlers who migrated there from our area. The name Wyoming is believed to have come from the Leni-Lanape Indian word "meecheweemiing" meaning "at the big plains."
I'm from Pennsylvania its truly beautiful
I am from Pa and live on the Delaware River but not far from the Susquehanna River. PA is a beautiful place to live.
Michigan is a gorgeous state, from the Great Lakes, the Sand dunes, the pictured rocks, the many waterfalls, beaches, light houses, mountains, hills, the Mackinaw Bridge, the fall colors, skiing, boating, fishing...the food is top notch, better than anything you can find in the south. Pure Michigan, or as I call it, Michigan the beautiful.
He is listing the longest river that begins and ends in each state. If it crosses into another state, he doesn't count it. The Mississippi crosses 10 states.
The Platte River area in Nebraska is a beautiful river. Iowa is flat and has a lot of cornfields. It's really a beautiful state. I wouldn't live there, I'm a mountain person and Iowa is too flat. It's gorgeous though. The James River was named for King James I. A lot of places in that region are named after English monarchs. Yes, Christopher Columbus was looking for a route to put him closer to the spice trade of China and India.
I live in New Jersey right along the border to Pennsylvania and the border is the Delaware river. We spent a lot of time at the Delaware Water Gap doing things like tubing, fishing, hiking as kids especially. I think most Americans love the outdoors and even many that live in the city like to escape and relax. I'm no longer able to do such physical things but my husband and I still visit many of the varied (and beautiful) parks, gardens, and historical sites around our area. You may not know but George Washington made his famous crossing on the Deleware River so there is a lot of Revolutionary war and colonial history here so there are always places for some small adventures.
I live on the west branch of the Delaware only 30 miles from the beginning of the Delaware.
I'm from the same areas and spent a lot of time on the Delaware River back when I was younger❤
I live within a mile of the Susquehanna. You really need to see Pennsylvania in the fall when the leaves are changing color. It will take your breath away.
I grew up along the Flint River in Georgia. Swam in it many times. There are alligators, venomous snakes, even bull sharks. And that's just in the water. Black bears and Florida panthers live in areas near the Flint and its tributaries. We recently had a black bear foraging around our town for a week or so before it moved on. Thank you for the reactions!
I was born & raised near Harrisburg Pennsylvania, the Susquehanna River flows through it. There are many small islands in the Susquehanna in that area When I was a child my grandparents had a cabin on Hill Island, near 3 Mile Island, where we spent a lot of time during the summer months. My grandfather had a boat and enjoyed fishing, I enjoyed going along for the ride.The flood that followed Hurricane Agnes in 1972 put and end to that. When driving to New York I cross the Susquehanna a few times at various spots. It makes me feel like I'm still close to home. I live in Maryland now, it's beautiful here by the ocean, but I miss the scenery and culture of my home state.
The Mississippi River goes through and forms the borders of many states, which is unsurprising, as it is the 4th longest river in the world.
And the Colorado River in Texas, is completely different than the Colorado River that goes through the Grand Canyon. In fact, they end in different oceans. I know the one in Texas as the Little Colorado River, but that might just be Coloradans making fun of Texans.
Im from Maine and I have always lived near the Kennebec River which is just one of a bunch of rivers that are almost all the same size. I have swam, boated, fished and white water rafted in this river as well as boated and fished in Moosehead Lake which it flows out of at the foot of mountains. Maine is amazing.
Speaking of US geography, I’ve spent the day at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, in the North Dakota badlands. Spectacular views and geography, not to mention wild bison and horses.
Love going fishing on the Gasconade here in Missouri with my grandpa. We'll take the boat through rapids with probably well under 15cm of water, scraping the bottom, but we make it through in his old Jon-boat with a jet instead of a propeller. Great fishing, bald eagles all along the river, great views. Probably my favorite river.
I live right next to the Missouri river, it's big and fast and muddy (It's called the Big Muddy). The smaller rivers are more fun, but it's impressive.
I looked it up, the longest river in Portugal that only floes in Portugal is Rio Mondego. It has its source in Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain range in mainland Portugal (i.e. excluding the Portuguese islands). It runs 234 kilometres (145 mi) from the Gouveia municipality, at 1,425 metres (4,675 ft) above sea level in Serra da Estrela, to its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean next to the city of Figueira da Foz. It is longer than the first 8 rivers in this video
There is a cheesy country song that speaks truth to my soul..."Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee; never knew how much that muddy water meant to me"! Check out the video to see the reality. I grew up a river rat on that Chattahoochee in Alabama. I loved it. Fishing, swimming, skiing, tubing, kayaking and rafting. OMG, those hot hot summer nights with nothing to do.... We were making out and hanging out down at the river. Fun fun fun! This brought those good times back to me. Great reaction.
12:23 Andre because of America's coastline in our river systems and our Great lakes there is something called the Great loop.
You can fly into Miami Florida.... You get a boat you start heading north up the east coast of America all the way to New York
You can stop add all of the states along the way
Then you go inland through the Great lakes until you get to the Mississippi River
Then you come down the Mississippi River right through the center of America down to the Gulf of Mexico
Once again you can stop at all the states that you passed through and stay there as long as you like it's made to be a trip
Once you're in the Gulf of Mexico you just follow the other side of Florida all the way down around the Florida keys, and back to Miami
You've seen so much of america, you never had to drive on a single highway, if you get a boat that has sleeping quarters you don't have to rent a hotel room
And the trip takes you through many large cities including Chicago which is what you're looking at right now I believe
You can pause as much as you want. I enjoy the views as well.
I looked and you do have several rivers in Portugal. I bet they are beautiful as well.
If you want to do a video on each of the states, there are many out there put out by the state's tourist bureau that talk about the different features of each. An I am sure they would love it if you did use their videos.
A friend and I canoed along the Grand River in Michigan, but didn't do our homework and the section we started in (Near Jackson) was not easy. The flow was slow and there were many trees that had fallen across it. We went under some, pulled the canoe over some and finally gave up just as it was getting dark and we had reached the part that got wider/faster and cleared of trees. It took us all day to go half as far as we had planned and had to have someone pick us up and take us to our vehicle. It was an adventure I won't forget. We didn't see one house or building along the whole route.
i was born in Louisiana and spent most of my life, and I still currently live, in Arkansas and raised on the rivers and lakes of the states.. but have also lived in Mississippi,Kentucky,Missouri, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, California and Washington state
From Rhode Island, most of the western state is beautiful, beaches in the south are amazing
Iowa is like Nebraska. We have alot of water..
Both are boring [smiles]
People are all the same. Friendly, giving, hard working.
We have your back.
I live a few miles from the St Johns River in Florida. Jacksonville has a lot of bridges since it runs right through the middle and dumps into the Atlantic on the northeast end.
I grew up near Pittsburgh, PA, which has the most bridges (446) of any city in the US. It sits at the intersection of 3 rivers.
The Colorado River in Texas isn't the same one that starts in Colorado, created the Grand Canyon and enters the Sea of Cortez in Baja Mexico.
I was born and live near the Sheyenne River in North Dakota. The valley is Beautiful.
We do float trips on many rivers. They range fro. Super slow in an inner tube with another inner tube holding a cooler, to guided white water rafting. Google Missouri float trips.
Yes I live20 miles from providence RI has beautiful Beaches and is quite a beautiful state and the best Italian food and Portuguesa food!
No, Andre, the Colorado River in Texas is NOT the same river as the Colorado River in the Southwest that formed the Grand Canyon or forms Lake Mead at the Hoover Dam. His list is for rivers that are entirely within ONE state.
Pennsylvania here! When I was really young, my family would visit Crooked Creek State Park. There was a ton of stuff to do there like swimming, fishing, boating, camping, hiking, making mountain pies & s'mores over the fire. There was a small creek near our house too where my brothers & I would catch fish & crawfish. We'd spend hours there & only went home when we got hungry or if it started to get dark.
I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania & I love the Great Allegheny Passage . It's a bike trail that runs along the Youghigheny River from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C. My youngest son has ridden his bike the full length & back. The most my husband & I will ride our bikes is about 14 miles total. It's still a lot of peddling!
Pennsylvania here! I grew up going to an amazing camp in Poccno Mountains in Pennsylvania. The camp was directly on The Delaware River. My camp, Camp Hagen, was for girls, and there was Camp for boys, Camp Miller closeby. We had a brother/sister hike where we hiked mid way between the camps and shared a great time. I always met my brother there. We are both closing in on 80, and just the other day, my brother said some of his most cherished memories were of those hikes. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state, but it isn't thought about much. We have a great part of history, including the founding of the US, critical battles of the Civil War, and the Revolutionary War. We have Native American Tribal history, mountains, lakes, several large rivers,and we are close to the Atlantic Ocean. Philadelphia is also a very important harbor for trade. Most importantly, we have Phila Cheese Steaks! Lawrence of Lost in the Pond posted a great road trip through Pennsylvania, and he loved it. Please check it out.
Out of the seven oldest rivers in the world, four of them are located in the US. The Colorado River is the sixth oldest, the Susquehanna River is the fifth oldest, the French Broad River is the fourth oldest, and the New River is the second oldest river in the world.
have swam in the Patuxent river and the most southern half of the Susquehanna river most my life. i actually live where it ends exactly at the Chesapeake Bay. love from Maryland.
The Mohawk were a native American tribe, yes, a member of the historically important Iroquois confederacy ("Six Nations"). The haircut is named after them, although if there is any evidence they actually used that hairstyle historically, I'm not aware of it. The river is likely named for the tribe as well in this case (although there are other cases wherein the names we know for some tribes, come from their names for bodies of water around which they lived).
I used to know a guy from Iowa. You know that old saw about being able to see a corn bin from twenty miles away in Iowa? He told me that's literally possible, if you look out a second-story window. I had assumed it was an exaggeration, but he said no, that's real.
None of the states are large enough to contain really *long* rivers within their borders. The Mississippi river for example is over two thousand miles long; we have some pretty big states, but they're not THAT big. Even Alaska is not large enough to contain a river like that.
There's an Andrews River, near Cape Cod. It's about 2000 ft long and empties into a bay at Harwich Port. "Andrew River" is etymologically unlikely, since rivers named after people usually use the surname, rather than the given name. ("James" is, of course, both a given name and a surname.)
Yes, Columbus landed in the Caribbean and assumed he was in east Asia (Indonesia or some place like that), because he was ignorant of basic geography facts like the size of the earth. (That's why he had such a hard time finding sponsors. Regular people didn't know much geography in his day, but the sorts of people who controlled enough money to finance his expedition, had access to books, and they could tell that Columbus didn't know what he was talking about.) His larger mistake, though, was failing to know even the most basic things about how prevailing winds and ocean currents work. He planned an unbelievably terrible route from Europe to the Americas. On the plus side, he was enough of a shameless self-promoter, that once he discovered a route to the West Indies, it wasn't very long before all of Europe knew about it and that, as they say, is history.
The Colorado River that's famous, isn't the one in Texas; the famous one didn't make this list because it runs through multiple states (5 in America, and 2 in Mexico). The most famous portion runs through the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona.
You missed the intro part where the guy mentioned that all these rivers he's showing are contain within each state. The Mississippi river spans almost the entire vertical half of the U.S. so it's not included.
Oh, and about you going to all the states in one go. If you want to go crazy one year is 52 weeks, so you can spend 1 week at each state and have 2 weeks left to visit our territories. Like Guam, Dominican Republic, American Samoa, etc. But I can understand if you didn't want to go that crazy lol
As a kid I would catch frogs and crayfish in rivers and streams all the time in norther Michigan. Some of the best summers in the country
Andre, you've got to notice some similarity between the image at 9:55 in Pennsylvania and the Douro river in Portugal (minus any vineyards).

I learned to water ski on the Susquehanna a few miles soutyh of Harrisburg, the state capitol.
You mentioned how beautiful the Susquehanna River was in pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is extremely beautiful especially in the northwest part of the state. We have what is called the Pennsylvania Grand canyon. It is also officially known as Pine Creek Gorge. You should find some videos on that and see how beautiful that really is. Most people Overlook Pennsylvania and focus on the western states. But Pennsylvania has a lot to offer if you ever want to know more I'm here to help.
I vacationed in Pennsylvania often as a child in the Pocono Mountains. I have very fond memories Of many hours in the Delaware River. Tubing, fishing, wading, shell hunting (muscle and snail), splashing, rafting, canoeing, fireworks, . . .
If you're interested in this topic, research the Continental Divide, and Laurentian Divide. That and how the Army Corps of engineers were able to reverse the flow of the Chicago River, pictured in the beginning of the video. And, the Mississippi originates in Minnesota (which these guys don't give enough credit to) that empties into the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans.
Just a side note. We also have a Flint River that runs through Flint Michigan. The city was named after the river. The Indians in the area called it the "river of Flint". P.S. none of us trust drinking out of the river after the Flint river water crisis 10 years ago. Research that.
P.S. Just show me the beach at Nazare. It's my only bucket list desination in Eurpoe.
The Mississippi River is 3.1 million square kilometers across America. You got it at the end. The rivers were only within the States borders
Yap
@@european-reacts I just found out you have a second channel. I need to subscribe to it. Keep up the great work! 👊🏼🇺🇸💪🏽 🇵🇹
How am I just finding out about this now??
@@bethdabruzzo7112 I don't know. Lol. Unfortunately a majority of people in America never understand the geography & diversity of America. I'm trying to experience it all.
I did play in rivers a lot as a child. Also had creeks near my house to play in too.
If you visited all 50 states in ten years your main memories will be airports, train stations, and car rentals. Then there will be cities which are largely the same with tall buildings and traffic. Take pictures as you hurry to the next spot. That way you will be able to remember your trip.
I remember nearly drowning in the Scioto during a high school field trip. Fun times.
I just took my dogs swimming in the Yakima River on Sunday! Had to pull at least 4 ticks off each of them when we got home. Small price to pay for fun in the sun!
Must watch!!! An Italian Tries Old Fashioned Southern Food for the First Time
"Black water" rivers are formed by draining swampy areas where there is more anaerobic decomposition and the waters move so slowly that the pigments are leached from the dead leaves making the water look like black tea (at its darkest).
Rhode Island here ,enjoying your videos.
Within 100 miles from me, all directions We could go to any of 5 rivers. 2 are less than 10 miles away.
The two things you have to know about Iowa and Nebraska are their names and corn. That pretty much everything about them…😁
If you think the Grand Canyon looks like Mars, Idaho has a place named "Craters of the Moon"…
The Texan Colorado River is not the famous one that runs through several states and ends in California.
He did not mention to Mississippi because of the beginning, he said, not rivers that flow through the states, but the biggest rivers in their state
I lived near the Patuxent river in Maryland for many years, it's beautiful.
The source, the headwaters, of the mighty and enormous Mississippi River might surprise you. It begins as a tiny creek in a small lake in northern Minnesota called Lake Itasca. I had the good fortune to visit it once on a cross-country drive, and I consider my claim to fame is to have stepped across the Mississippi in one large step... with both feet on the ground on opposite sides! It picks up its massive water flow from the huge country sized watershed as it goes along its 2,340 mile (3766 km) length, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico just south of New Orleans.
I've lived in the US my whole life, and I have not yet visited all 50 states. I've never been to Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, ...
Newish subscriber here, I do rather enjoy watching your reactions to things here in America. I as a lone Missouri boy do have the same kinds of interests for other parts of the world like Europe, Asia, etc. I hope someday I get up the courage to go and visit these places. Thanks for sharing your reactions, and don't feel bad about pausing so much. You have to get your point across, and also it is your channel. Keep it up!
Feel free to pause as much as you need America is very beautiful. It’s a lot to take in.🥰✌️
Im from a small city called Coldwater in Michigan. The has a chain of lakes to the south that stretch probably 18-20 miles,and another chains to the west that cover 9-10 miles. Just in the 2 chains of lakes theres 13 lakes i believe. Rivers crossing all sides of the city. Lots of woods and farm land. If you drive Indiana to Michigan the interstate runs straight through town as soon as you cross the border.
I manage an old time root beer stand in town that's very popular here in the summer.
If you make your way to Coldwater Michigan,find the root beer stand I'll take you out on my boat. (Josh)
I miss Coldwater. We used to rent a cottage up there when the kids were younger. Swimming, sun, fishing. Blueberry picking. Good times.
the missouri river is the longest river in the US. at 2,341 miles (3,767 km) the reason it's not on this list is because it runs through 6 other states besides missouri.
I'm from Pennsylvania 😊 but I'm from Pittsburgh on the west side of the state, but spent many summers by the susquehanna river, my family is spread out all over PA ❤️
The thing is the United States is HUGE. All of Europe would fit within it, so it would take a while to visit all the states. There is actually a road trip you can take through the lower 48 (doesn't include Alaska and Hawaii ofcourse). That's trip I want to take some time.
The Mowhawk is across the state from me, it's about an Eastward drive about 3 hours to Rome, NY. Instead I have the Genesee River just 10 minutes away (not in the video because it originates in PA), the Buffalo River (more of a creek but whatever), and the Niagara River is an hour away (of course not in the video because it's both short and forms the border between NY and Ontario, Canada) if you would have reacted to those 5 videos on NY I emailed you would have seen the Genesee River.
I live in Pennsylvania I happen to live one mile from the Susqhehanna river. It's beautiful here! I was at a Vista at Susqhehannock Park yesterday. I saw alot of eagles. I Love my state it's beautiful!
I have not been in 20 plus states. Seeing them all is a major accomplishment.
Pennsylvania is a pretty state. Very high likelihood you are somewhere scenic if you are there. To visit all 50 in ten years you better get 'crackin'. The Mississippi river runs through many states. This is a list of rivers only within one state. There is a Saint-André River in Quebec Canada. I remember that. The Missouri River is the longest in the US. Mississippi River is in second place.
I grew up in a town on the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, which is beautiful when it stays within its banks, not so much in flood times. Lots of German heritage along that river :)
Unless you know specificr terrain of landmarks, the only way you might know if youre in one state or another is by the license plates on the cars, or signs. For example. From the ground, Maine or New Hampshire look the same especially the wooded areas. This is because some state boundaries are defined by natural barriers, and some were often drawn politically.
On foot, its more difficult to get the same views as from the air, especially in dense forests.
What you're missing is that these are the longest rivers entirely in that state. If you included long rivers like the Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Red, Colorado, etc., that flow through or form the boundaries of multiple states, the same rivers would come up over and over again.
I mean the Colorado river that flows from Colorado to the Gulf of California, not the one in Texas.
James river in Virginia is cool. I've done military exercises on it. We store old mostley medical ships on it. Some of those ships were recommissioned during desert storm.
I'm originally from Pennsylvania (I now live in Maryland, near the Patuxent river that was mentioned on this list), and I can say that the state has it's problems, but a lack of natural majesty isn't one of them. It is a beautiful state with a great amount of geographic diversity, a full four seasons (hot summers, cold winters, and fall foliage), mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, forests and farmland. Now if the state government could just get it's act together and help fix the economy...
Really limits himself when focusing only on rivers completely inside a single state - missing out rivers the states are named after like the Connecticut River and most important ones like the Hudson in NY state and of course the Mississippi, Missouri, Colorado, Columbia, etc). New Hampshire pronunciation: ham (like the food), a slight p (puh) sound, then say the English word sure. You can even leave out the p sound. Ham-sure. Close enough and better than what you’ve been struggling through.
Vermont is beautiful indeed. He mentions Middlebury - which is home to the gorgeous Middlebury College. Truly stunning with autumn foliage.
Aside: love that you know and often reference Bob Ross paintings!
Grew up on the St. Mary's river. Another black water river, cause the water is dark and you can't see the bottom. Alligators, cotton mouth snakes, ect but we swam in that black water as kids. Never had a problem lol.
I am in Nebraska, rock on world and USA especially!
I told you multiple times in the past that Pennsylvania is a very beautiful state and you ignored it. You never talk about Pennsylvania my home state and it is stunning hundreds of miles of wilderness and mountains and rivers and waterfalls in history and incredible food ❤
Off the subject... You mentioned visiting the United States. I hope you can one day. If you are planning for this trip in 10 years, save up on your vacation time so you can spend longer in the U.S. Once you spend money flying out here, best to try to see it all, unless you are going to make several trips in the future and each trip you can break up different parts of the U.S. to see. You do not have to spend maybe a third of your vacation driving here to there. U.S. is very big. For Hawaii, you do have to fly to one the islands. What my husband and I did some 20 years ago (my first visit), spent half the vacation on a cruise to one can stop and visit each populated island. We got married on the island of Kauai and spent the night at the Princeville Resort. Beautiful place, if you are into more of natural landscape and not overcrowded like the shopping tourist cities.
Once you get here in the U.S., and you can spend months, a year, rent a small camper and drive. You can visit what you like to see, on your own time schedule than taking a tour bus, train, airplane. I do not know if you would do this, ask your fan base if they would invite you to stay at their home. It is nice to get a break and take a shower in a home than one in a campsite or in your camper. You can spend time with your host, and they can give pointers what to see in their town and visit the mom-and-pop own stores that the locals only know about and/or suggest what to see on route to your nest city/national park, etc. That can save money on expenses, or if they do not have room, maybe they will let you park your R.V. at their place so you save on campsite prices. Remember, to plan your route and put it together/map how you can see a lot without driving back and forth from one end of the states to the other. I have a small apartment next to L.A.X., CA
Yes, that's why Native Americans have been commonly called Indians, because Columbus thought he had reached India.
