I want you to know how much your videos means to me. I had knee replacement surgery and I can't do much of anything. But your videos give me great joy by letting me see the world around me. Thank you so much.❤

[@r3m1x61]

your welcome.

[@mikehughes4969]

The 1880s town was amazing. It's a little run down but that's honestly part of it's charm. It's been there a long time, and I hope it'll be there even longer still. When I was in Denver, my friend had a prairie dog colony right off his patio, and it quickly became my morning routine to have my coffee and watch the prairie dogs. And I'm not surprised that one let you pet him. Animals can sense a good soul.

So sad to see Buffalo Ridge Cowboy Town falling apart. It would cost a fortune to fix up all those buildings at this point. So, I guess see it now, because at any time it could be closed down for safety reasons. Thank You for sharing this roadside attraction with us.

[@history_leisure]

This camera is actually documentary quality

[@cherylzamule888]

I love the Prairie Dogs. That one really liked you Jacob 😊

[@cyanshad]

I was just waiting for one of the prairie dogs to grab the camera and take it into its burrow.

[@Sloop_Goop]

SAM!!! I loved watching Sam the gorilla videos so much when I was younger, so happy to see he is still around!

[@gigir4087]

Jacob is truly committed to what he does ❤🎉 Every time I travel anywhere especially in East Tennessee I think about him and how inconvenient it would be while attending Moonshine tastings shopping attractions ...all the while documenting and describing in front of other people. Not to mention the driving!!! It is truly an art form that he adjusted to over the years. Very inspirational but don't know if I could ever put myself out there the way this man has for so many years❤

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

I live in East TN and he has us going to places all the time! It's great!

[@SurvivorsQuest1]

Wow, that footage of the Prarie dogs is amazing! Super cute!

[@denisedarnell1641]

Glad he laid the camera down and moved back, they responded to that

[@SurvivorsQuest1]

@@denisedarnell1641 I agree, that was super cool!

[@noblewick]

Ok the birds attacking you at the dragon sculpture was by far the laugh out loud moment of this video.

[@DavidWRyan]

58:00 feeding prairie dogs is something I didn't know I needed to do until now!

[@FreshOJ21]

Another classic Carpetbagger video, love it!! Thanks Jacob! :)

[@Sklabah]

Ah this made me so pleased. I haven't been to Wall in years, and now I'm looking to see if a summer drive is feasible. These videos give me major wanderlust.

[@gregtodakonzie6168]

That prairie dog shot was awesome! 🤩🤩

[@reese9030]

I know it was a ground hog and not a gopher, but I couldn’t help but sing the theme song to Caddy Shack. So adorable.

[@bandicootcollector]

"I came from the country of Wales in England" 😂

[@bg199083]

The 1880s town was amazing! It definitely brings its charm, and it's good for both young and old. Can't wait for you to see the State Fair footage Jacob!

[@laurenmay5571]

I laughed so hard at the magician trick 😂

[@history_leisure]

"Its Lewis and Clark *claps* (that's Clark and Lewis)". A few quirky concerts that had plots in third and fourth grade

[@mikerocks56]

Was at the sculpture park last year. Spent 20 minutes talking to Mr Porter. Very nice guy and had interesting stories. Very cool place. Can’t believe I missed the ghost town. We drove right past it

[@portersculpturepark172]

Thanks for including Porter Sculpture Park, we appreciate it! The two red sculptures are called THE IRISH MONKS, the sign was in the opposite direction of your approach to those sculptures.

[@penxor53]

For being such a sparsely populated state, South Dakota has a lot to see

[@tomiodatanuki7600]

Great idea with the prairie dogs! Epic animal-husbandry! 😆💚😆💚😆

[@madebroke7677]

Carpetbagger!! We loved today’s vid!! Best part..the fireworks!! Anytime you stumble across a small town firework store, don’t be shy 😮❤

[@michaeljones936]

I remember going to wall drug store when I was a kid. Thank you for bringing back the memories of going there

[@alliekuma4234]

I love the older animatronics. ♥ The cowboy town was really cool looking. I would've loved to have sat there and drawn it to be a town full of life. I appreciate your vids. Thank you dude. : )

[@socialengineeringdaily5460]

When my business get off the ground one of my many goals is to donate to roadside attractions and channels like the carpet bagger. 😊

[@catherinehatt1224]

Sorry that Jen wasn't with you this trip. I would have loved to see her reaction to some of the goings on. Hugs to you both, enjoy life..

[@twanagilles1756]

I need someone to check on Jen!!!

[@rocketaroo]

Buffalo town is decaying to perfection

[@dianadelahaye7660]

I love the old fashion set ups oh history. Some wild sculptures😮adorable phrarie dogs❤ I like the gorilla at Buffalo ridge. great t- Rex!

[@c.rogers____]

❤ Hope you make a wall displaying all of your pressed pennies throughout your journeys, on a wall,in your bunker!

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

I love the "old west" sites in Kansas Arizona etc. To me, it's just a really cool unique slice of Americana. Great video as always Jake

[@johnnyvegas8030]

It's awesome to see your almost at 500k subscribers

[@mollysmith1226]

❤😊it sure is!!

[@carlitoshoued7400]

I laughed so much. The sign says Discount Fireworks... There's Safe and Sane fireworks and then there's the discount ones. 😂😅😆

[@boiboi5942]

that magician was something

[@meatgerms]

bro this was filmed and shot like an a24 movie this cam is gorgeous

[@syedhamidi5643]

Huge respect to you for visiting the old roadside attraction ✨️ also the footage of the prairie dog using iphone is too adorable 😮‍💨😫😍😍 love it. Don't forget to wear sunscreen ✨️

[@kimpeters9983]

Thanks for bringing back memories of my time at Walls Drug Store back in 1968. My mom and grandparents with me in tow drove from South Central PA to Seattle, WA. We then flew to Anchorage, AK to see my brother. He was stationed at King Salmon Island in the Air Force. That was my first airplane ride. I loved seeing the prairie dogs and antelopes. I also counted the oil rigs each day. Safe travels.

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

Love the old school roadside assistances keep up the awesome work Jacob and safe travels

[@KING4aday46]

I love the "ghost horse " 👍

[@kentonmorrison9292]

John Wayne was a friend of my great grandparents. And his REAL name Marion Morrison

[@mollysmith1226]

❤that's so cool. My mom shares the Duke's birthday

[@coachshanonfreeman]

Oh my gosh!! I want to pet the prairie dogs. Jenn will love this. ♥️♥️♥️

[@kyleranderson5557]

I help him out with his buffalo when he needs it here and there. He also sells fireworks when it’s time! He’s a great guy!

[@arrowguy173]

31:00 WOW it is made from railroad tie plates- these are placed on top of the tie sleepers to help seat the rail.

[@GypcRiXh]

Dude I love you Jacob thanks for taking us to so many amazing places I missed you by a day in Myrtle beach my son and I were just praying we would run into you stay safe buddy

[@MP-gm5gg]

Thank you, what a unique adventure some of the coolest prairie dog footage. And cutest! I like the upgraded Wall Drug animatronic. Thank you Carpet Bagger.

[@OldMovieRob]

Wow, your trip to the old Cowboy Town was one of the first of your videos I ever remember watching on your channel Jacob! I love those terrifying, barely-moving mannequins with the creepy audio. Glad it's still there. I'd love to visit someday.

[@DawnBenchley-gt6hu]

Awesome western town

[@FrankensteinLover]

You're the best Carpetbagger, thanks for all these entertaining videos.

[@rachel_espinoza]

[@donnafriedt-gyulay3815]

The largest sculpture resembles the Egyptian Aphus Bull. WOW!! I am glad you shared this!! Thank you!

[@vwgti337]

Cowboy Town is a GENUINE tourist trap. How are they still charging admission for this 😂

[@Jackielightning]

28:30 BABY SKUNK

[@theDailyDumpnews]

It's good to see them taking care of the place

[@c.rogers____]

The barber looked like John Wayne without hair.

[@raleighfan9640]

Loved the prairie dogs and T-Rex! Thanks Jacob!

[@MiladyMacabre]

A little correction for you: John Wayne's given name was Marion Robert Morrison.

[@Negative13Prod]

The town looks like it’s due for a remodel

[@janetcannon7986]

Six flags America has a brand new town in it! Steam Town.

[@denisedarnell1641]

Prairie Dogs remind me of groundhogs!!! And squirrels that are always all over my yard . The squirrels will destroy very flower or plant you own if you turn around, not kidding. I have an Oak tree out front nd they hide their acorns and destroy all my beautiful flowers. They are my arch- nemesis

[@craigholstine2154]

Good Morning " YA ALL " Jacob the Carpetbagger..!!

[@dannymartin1114]

So great. Big amusement parks are cool and all, but this is it for me. This is the good stuff.

[@AndyandPapa]

Loved the road art gallery. The dogs were very cool.

[@lissachocolate]

So many neat things in this one, old west town, I really liked the metal sculptures, you had a good idea of putting your camera down with peanuts, got an up-close view of prairie dogs and actually pet them , Wall Drug is always interesting.

[@sgtsharon4336]

Sculptures well thought out and executed. I really enjoyed them.

[@history_leisure]

36:40 Once the mayflies die down at Cedar Point, you are almost mauled by birds on the daily. Can't win

[@glennjudd2467]

What amazing day ! 1880 s town was amazing !

[@bordercollielover9360]

omg so cute all the ground squirrels! ❤🐿

[@marke9808]

Love the videos you make. Be safe in your travels.

[@bandicootcollector]

That 1880s town is so sad. I feel like they have a nice idea here, it just needs doing up and modernising a bit!!

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Jacob 🤓📸 all the things you're going to do in one video today lol places to see lol. Your a joy to watch . Take care my friend.

[@cindyrichards1118]

Oh my goodness the prairie dogs were so cute 🥰

[@DougFromTheBayou]

Those are some good Prarie dogs!

[@kandihinshaw1870]

Jacob sweetheart an art easel is where you put the canvas. What those were those are pallets or color palettes where you put the paint.

[@patriciaevans1129]

Love it!!!

[@jeremysutherlin3803]

The Cowboy Town in Buffalo Ridge is a unique time capsule, but...so eerie and a little sad seeing all those historical animatronics slowly deteriorating out there if they're really as old as they say. If only someone could give it all a proper restoration. With repaired buildings, better housed displays where things are protected from the elements, cleaned up professional signage that's easier to read, remastered audio played on new speakers so you can actually hear it...Man, that'd be kinda nice...No matter if it's outdated and a little cheesy, that'd be nice.

[@robylove9190]

Have a great trip Jacob ❤️

[@paulfuryes203]

Love your videos, Jacob .till the next one take care my friend and, as always, safe travels

[@rott3nappl3s]

i haven't been able to shake the buffalo ridge cowboy town since you first went to it... something about it is so quintessentially roadside america that it almost feels too good to be true. glad you made it back, and damn i gotta get there myself. great video as always, thanks jacob!

[@Crazynative25]

Welcome to my side of the world South Dakota Maybe Jenn can visit sometime When she feels up to it

[@iamprivate18]

[@denisedarnell1641]

I like how when ypu asked the Trex if he was going to do something, he actually shook his head NO ...hilarious ...u may not have seen that
