Did he say he was born in 1934? That means he’s 89 years old! Wow, he’s in great shape mentally and physically. Great video of the museum and of the docent. :)

[@TambovWolf1989]

Jimmy Carter was born on October 1, 1924. It doesn't look bad either. I wonder if the lovely Nikki could ride with him and ask a few questions?

[@diamondly6250]

my grate grandpa died 5 years ago he was 97 he was the same way. he had so many storys. he was in the air fource in ww2 was shot down and put into a camp with the jews. then helped them sneak out

[@pudznerath6532]

he's doing better than my mother who's 10 years younger, and she's bedridden. you'd think she's 90 or something.

[@TambovWolf1989]

@@diamondly6250 This is cool. It's nice that you honor your ancestors.

[@TambovWolf1989]

@@pudznerath6532 Mr. Carter is 99. 10 years younger - 89. You might think that she is 90. Your perception If you get angry a lot, worry, and are often stressed, then this has a bad effect on your health. This is how strokes and heart attacks occur at 50-60 years of age. And in order to avoid stress, you need to behave correctly in terms of behavior. And you need to perceive your surroundings correctly, so as not to be nervous that everything is going wrong.

[@hypnosiswiththeresa]

"I had a perfect time, gee wiz"-Keith. You really made his day! I'm sure it meant so much to Keith that you took the time to listen to his stories and let him show you around. You're a doll.

[@WayneThePoet]

Great episode! It’s so much fun when KZbin adventurers go to out of the way places, interact with the locals and share their stories. You create records of history that, in time, might be lost forever.

[@eowyn237]

100% agree!

[@jeremylynn8631]

Keith is living his BEST life this day! ♥️😉♥️☝️

[@jeremylynn8631]

that store is a time capsule! God bless this guy for sharing this with everyone! ♥️♥️♥️

He even has a weekly newsletter he send out to thousands - he’s such a GEM!

[@jeremylynn8631]

@@NikkiDelventhal so cool 👍

[@FreddieGoins]

I’ve been watching you and Camper for about a year now. This episode literally had me in tears. Thank you so much for sharing history with us. Growing older is catching up with me and to see younger people recognizing us warms my heart. Thank you Nikki and Camper.

[@los5manantiales]

I am from Mexico and I want to visit that town and talk to Mr. Keith. He should be famous. I want to do a full video in bilingual (English/Spanish) of that beautiful town. Don’t know when, but he is my long list of places to go! Great video! Tip your bartender!

[@andreaewert7204]

What a treat having Keith show you around and telling you all the great stories!!! ❤❤❤

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Keith is truly a one of a kind human, we are so lucky he was able to spend the day with us!

[@lindasedgwick6380]

Keith is a true gem.♥️

[@ryanh4889]

Keith is quite a guy! Also great for him to show off his town and tell the stories. You could do a series of visiting small towns like that across America and finding similar people like Keith to talk about the history.

[@michelleworrell3976]

My mom was born in 1938. She’s 85 and still going strong. My dad was born in 1933 and would have been 90. To hear the stories from when they were born was amazing and very interesting

[@username0623]

Keith is a gentleman and scholar for showing you around. I think anyone could be instantly friends with Nikki, and of course Camper is the new best friend that anyone could have. Awesome video as always!

[@SheylaTravels]

Omg Keith is such a sweetheart. When he said “gee whiz I had fun” 🤩 😭😭. I’m sure his memorabilia is worth a lot of money 💰 😮

[@darcyferrigno]

Can Keith be my grandpa please?!? I bet the list is long, I would love to hear more of his stories and experiences. The last two episodes you have done Nikki make me want to travel this loneliest road for sure.

[@danhawe6033]

You can tell Keith LOVED his time with you!😁

[@camrodger8638]

Keith is an absolute sweetheart with a ton of personality. You and Camper were so fortunate to meet him. Thank you for another great video. ❤️

This is the most heartwarming vanlife episode I've ever seen! And I've watched my fair share. 😆

[@danielasuncion9991]

Many people live in their vehicles, but you have managed to make it a very positive, healthy adventure ❤

[@kevinpilotte8738]

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen of yours. You’re a natural with the locals. Keep throwing videos like this once in a while!

[@gdcakaban]

Ain't no flies on Keith ! He knows a good hug when he gets one ! I think that it's beautiful that you put yourself out there and show your appreciative side to those that appreciate you ! And that you understand the value of showing your true self first.

[@rbryant1234567845678]

Okay first we LOVE Keith, he's such a sweet and knowledgeable man and just downright adorable. Second FINALLY companies have clocked on to giving influencers discount codes that work on Amazon. It's such a genius idea and I've been wanting to buy a Bottle Bottle for AGES! Love the video, lots of love and good vibes from your British Fan xx

[@Bozthecat]

Your dad is still my favorite, but Keith is a close second. I loved seeing your time with him. You clearly made his day too.

[@bapzzy9495]

My dad was a pharmacist starting in the late 50s. My siblings and I all worked the soda fountain growing up. Loved this one Nikki

[@blaknyte1]

Seeing the old medicine bottles (@11:00) reminded me of my grandfather’s pharmacy at his home, in the Philippines. He worked as a pharmacist assistant and he actually became good at the job, he began concocting medicine for the neighbors and opened up his own drugstore. War broke out (1941) and neighbors went to my grandfather asking for medications - which he wrote on an IOU and stuck them in a drawer. War ended in 1945, drugstore still open, he saw about 400 IOU notes from his neighbors, in the drawer. HE BURNED ALL THE IOUs and forgave all the debts.

[@stevenspring9889]

Keith was so Happy, I can tell you made his day!!!

[@x35mmman]

I always like you intros in your video. Camper jumping up the rock was amazing

[@freedomcare4u]

My new favorite video, I absolutely loved the pharmacy and have it on my go see bucket list..The drone footage was super cool!!!! Please don't burn your hand pouring hot water...The bottle I'm buying.😊

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Ahh thank you! I really really loved this one too! Hugs!

[@matthewhelm3035]

Excellent episode. Your conversation with Keith was very cool. Loved the tour. You have a knack for these one on one interviews with locals. Hopefully more like this in the future. 🥂

[@Billaeon]

What an amazing episode, @Nikki! You absolutely captured Keith and his stories so well. Amazing editing and storytelling. Keep up the good work.

[@casualsweats]

Keith was such a nice guy. You can find a lot of people like him with similar stories and historic events in the Black Hills of South Dakota. You should take a trip there to explore the beautiful scenery, and see the old towns and meet some good people! Might want to wait for spring though, it's too cold now. And don't go around the end of July or beginning of August. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally takes place in that area, and the state is overwhelmed with tourists, bikers, and campers. It would be hard to find peace.

[@paigedial3445]

❤❤ My home town come on up and visit. Keystone is beautiful Mt Rushmore is awesome

[@freedomishavingachoice3020]

You can meet "Keith's" in your own town, I promise you!!! Every town is lucky enough to have that one person who loves to know what happened where they live and omg, they are so much fun to listen to. We were raised in a world where we are quick to fear people and we miss out on some amazing interactions with others. Take time to make friends, the world is filled with good people.

[@JustLou71]

Absolutely jealous! What a great walk back in time. Especially the pharmacy! Fascinating! Love history!

[@eleanorareeves2xworldchampion]

I'll bet U and Camp made Keiths day. The museum was amazing and a great step back in time, but I betcha not many are visiting it there much unless they stumble on it. I am pretty sure the towns' peeps have seen it and do not frequent there much anymore, seemed like Keith was happy to have someone to talk with and even take on a tour

[@merrymcpherson1685]

Awesome you meet so many cool people Nikki -- Keith was a great ambassador for the beautiful historic town. It is a living museum that is very well taken care of. I trust Camper and he liked Keith :) -- Have an awesome day girl !!

[@sjsharksfan8573]

My mom was wrong being a packrat can be a good thing. Thank you Nikki for the find and for sharing this time capsule treasure!

[@melissaheyman8723]

Thanks so much, Nikki and Keith! I loved all this history. I met my hubby 37 years ago in August and we will celebrate our 35th in September 2024. He was already a dishwasher at Friendly Ice Cream and I was hired for the fountain. I made all the ice cream for in the restaurant and filled the to go orders for ice cream and grill in Western Mass. I was in an Easter Seals commercial. I so wish that I still had the videotape of me handing someone an ice cream cone. Happy Holidays to all from Maine, we are excited to spend it with our boys and granddaughters 6 1/2 and 6 months old in Massachusetts.🥰

[@TheHiredGun187]

PROTIP: If the place you are visiting has a YMCA/YWCA most will allow you to use their shower to clean yourself. Just explain your situation to the desk staff/managers and leave your ID/plate info at the recpetion desk. I have done this a number of times in fifferent locations and %90 of the time it works.

[@mustangeek]

Hearing stories like that makes me miss my grandpa, I miss him telling me stories.

[@michwenz8413]

Wow I drive through there all the time to visit my parents in Twin Falls. I have never once stopped in McGill. I will stop next time and say hi to Keith. Love this, thanks Nikki!
