@frankmerrill2366 - interesting to hear your friend was a previous owner of the Shady Dell. We flew right by it while on a Jeep Tour, hence the flash on the screen (haha). Looks like a fun, blast-from-the-past place to stay. I also tell people to check out Bisbee if they are traveling to southern Arizona. Most of the time they say, “what?! where?!” It is a hidden gem in Arizona.

@@JasonFranciscoVideo It would be a hidden gem in ANY state. It's consistently been in my Top 5 small US towns (under 50,000 people), has been #1 occasionally.

Like you said, Bisbee is a bit too remote - I think that’s what adds to its charm. Tucson is a cool city too!!

@minwang8959 - Yes, it snowed the day we drove up which makes it even more beautiful. It can snow anytime of the year in the Eastern Sierras - always be prepared. I don’t want to give you wrong info so I’ll say this: I can’t give you an exact answer because it’s a gamble to see fall colors. Peak fall colors vary from year to year depending on several factors including the weather, elevation, and location. I made this video between the 11th-16th of October 2021. In my video I showed exactly where and when we went, and what we saw. I will say the best autumn colors were near Sabrina Lake and June Lake. To plan for the future, early to mid October may be you best bet for Fall Colors in the Eastern Sierras. Check out the website: californiafallcolor.com - That’s what I used before we drove up as it provides up to date fall color reports.

@patrickwilliams8646 - Thank you for the comment. Everyone has varying opinions of risk and for me that one mile section, hugging the edge, was terrifying. I talked to locals beforehand who said it’s totally fine and easy, but when it’s white-out blizzard conditions, it’s risky. We actually did drive Independence Pass from Twin Lakes to Aspen. For some reason, I didn’t find it to be as risky, and the views from the summit were spectacular!! 😎

Hi @jefffeltes9309 - Wow! I appreciate your compliment, it means a lot to me! Glad you are enjoying the video!

Thank you so much!!

Good question - one I’d ask myself. Prepare yourself for excitement or disappointment by checking live stream webcams before you go (both Breckenridge & Aspen have them). Fall colors vary from year to year and are largely dependent on elevation, weather, location… Sorry I cannot give you a straight answer but I do hope luck plays on your side and the fall colors are still hanging around.

@jenniferbrin-palm221 - Hi!! Thank you so much for the huge compliment!! It really means a lot to me! ❤️ Yes, it’s been a while since I last uploaded a video, almost a year… yikes! I’m getting back on track and should have my Million Dollar Highway video up in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!! 😎

It’s difficult to give you an exact answer because it changes year to year. The footage on my video was from October 2, 2022. I would say late Sept to early Oct would be your best bet. Check out the Telluride webcams to see in real-time how things are looking. I hope this helps!

It’s hard to say what the fall colors will be like at that time and what part of Colorado you are in. If you’ll be in the southern region of Colorado, you will most likely see fall colors at that time.

Hello @pologrj - In Breckenridge, from what I recall, we were seeing the most fall color around the base of the BreckConnect Gondola. Also, along Ski Hill Road. We were probably a week too early to see the colors at its peak.

Hello @kuntalengg1, I can’t remember off the top of my head but, I have placed the exact dates throughout the video. We did a month long fall color trip in Colorado from mid-sept through early October 2022.

@jkd246 - Wow! Thank you so much!! To answer your question, it’s a good idea to get an international drivers permit - just for peace of mind. I’ve never been asked to show one. In renting cars, if you have a Costco membership they usually have good deals. If not, we like renting through Enterprise. A few times we did buy their renters insurance for full coverage in case of any accidents. We recently found out our credit card offers full coverage for rentals… just make sure you decline the rental agencies damage waiver coverage for this to take effect. You’ll want to look into this more. In Europe, driving is somewhat similar to the US and is easy. I love driving, I love long road trips, and I find driving in Europe to be a pleasant experience. The only time you might feel stressed is when you enter a major city. Just like in the US, it’s total madness. To adjust to the different driving situation, I always take a few cab rides / Uber the day before picking up my rental car. The drivers are always helpful if you have any questions. But even more important, it’s a good idea to go online and understand the road signs and road markings of the different countries. As far as GPS goes, we usually have two systems going simultaneously. The GPS built into the rental car and then either Apple or Google maps. I trust the GPS in the car the most. Apple and Google have led us astray a few times…once into a flowing river, another time into a dead end street. We use the GPS in the car to get us to our destination and then Apple or Google to search for interesting sites, cafes/bakeries along the way. Enjoy your trip in September, that was around the time we were there. Beautiful weather but it can get cool at night. I hope this helps and thanks for watching my videos. I have tons more coming out soon.

@JasonFranciscoVideo thank you so much for the detailed information . I just want to try to drive from Strasbourg to surrarounding villages first, a day rental. Is it hard to find parking in these villages ?

From what I recall, parking was not an issue while driving around the Alsace region.

Thanks for watching. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Alsace is so unique and one of my favorite places in France!!

I was thinking the same thing. It's pretty similar.

Thanks and glad you liked the video. I agree, it was too quick, but I did go beyond 2 mins. LOL!

Bitte schön! Glad you liked the video!!

That’s so awesome! Your ancestors come from a beautiful place on this earth.

@@JasonFranciscoVideo Thanks very much. You’re very kind! I really enjoyed your video, I learned a lot!

But that's what an "oasis" can be...

Thank you for the suggestion!! Fine dining and weekly live jazz is totally my thing!! Will definitely try it the next time in Bisbee. Let me know if you have other recommendations!

Riquewihr was also one of my faves! So picturesque and the vineyards provided a beautiful backdrop!

I greatly appreciate your comment and will work on balancing out the talking and music. ❤️

It is a pretty cool hotel with tons of character!

Awesome! I agree 💯. Very cool place and unexpected hidden treasures!

Agree…100 galleries and we get an inside of an rv.

I did want to show more of the art galleries but out of respect for the artists, I felt obtaining permission was necessary and not easy.

Nice!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Thanks for the warning 👍🏼

gays like it? : (

Thanks for watching!

Great point and thanks for the reminder! 😎

Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! 😎

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

@jryan9547 - I absolutely agree with you. It’s always fun traveling to places that have their own unique qualities… so unexpected and so cool!

Hi @ceezfotography - Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video! You will see fall foliage towards the end of Sept into early Oct… but you’ll want to be flexible on your location in Colorado. We were in our RV and had to book reservations well in advance, not sure what the hotel situations are like. Good luck to you and looks like you’re into Photography… would love to see what you capture on your trip!

Hello @wtpwtp - I have a few more Colorado videos I’m finishing up and I’ll create a video on our Leisure Travel Van.
