[@TravelingRobert]

Loving the taste of healthy Magic Spoon reinvented cereal click my link magicspoon.com/TRAVELING for $5 off your order!

[@hunglikejesus6097]

I’d like to try magic spoon but it’s way too expensive for an occasional cereal eater.

[@erickkipropngetich1088]

Hey Robert I would like to host you in Kenya to do a trip.

[@tonyagrestic]

Dubuque is even more beautiful in person . The bluffs are awesome and the downtown looks so cool when you’re in it.

[@nomaderic]

One of my favorite things of being a nomad is coming to a new area and it being nothing like what I expected. When you think of Iowa you think "ahh that's nothing but flat cornfields" but those bluffs near the river are amazing. Every state has cool places and nice beauty if you just look

[@1954crc]

Well said.

[@lauraorozco9238]

Galena is a beautiful town there’s so much to do .. chestnut mountain, horse riding, the museums, the hills of Galena , the wine cellars outside Galena, the waterfalls, the oldest house and buildings, the brick streets, the overlooking staircase- their food ,the candy popcorn and ice cream shops are a must .. you need to go back

[@TravelingRobert]

I do.

[@MilesBGaming]

I’m from Galena, IL and regularly go to Dubuque. Im happy to see someone doing a KZbin piece on the area!

[@hiroponta2837]

I'm 52 years old Japanese. I lived in Dubuque for four years from the age of 19 to 22 and graduated from the University of Dubuque as an international student studying business. For me, Dubuque is my second home, and it is an important place filled with fond memories of my youth. I also love Galina and went there about 20 times during my stay in Dubuque. My dream now is to travel across the United States in a camper van like Robert-San. Although it is far away from Japan and expensive, I am making plans based on Robert's videos. At that time, of course, I would like to stop by Dubuque again. I will do my best to make that dream come true.

[@jeffpierce725]

I love this city. I lived here as a kid out near Eagle Point Park. So many great memories and there was always something to see and do.

[@tomtombuch]

The view of the Mississippi River remember me to my Book Huckleberry Finn if I was a Child. Much greetings from Switzerland. Tom

[@Yawndave]

"I forgot my hiking shoes..." Where have I heard that before? Ha! :-) I camped on the bluffs overlooking the river years ago a bit further north at Pikes Peak State Park. That whole area along the Mississippi is well worth a visit. Thanks for taking us along for the ride again. Happy Trails!

[@YaYa-jy1yv]

This is my favorite part of our country. I was lucky enough to live in Lake City, MN for 15 years. Driving up and down the river roads and traveling to places like Galena made me happy. The small towns along the way are beautiful, too.

[@kabella66]

This vid just randomly came up on my feed today and it made me laugh. I live in Dubuque. Its always interesting to see it from a visitor's perspective.

[@AFunkyFresh1]

Great video. I've lived in Dubuque my whole life. I walk the Riverwalk most mornings between dropping my kids off at school and going to work. Thanks for sharing our city!

[@issystar96]

I live there as well. The best small city ever

[@kabella66]

Me too

[@randomman9231]

Is Dubuque safe for minorities?

[@chrisrowe00]

Hi from Oxford, England! This is your best vid since pre-covid. So glad you can start to properly explore the world again!

[@johntoms9666]

We have camped in the same campground in Dubuque several times over the years Robert. You are so right Debuque is a beautiful little city and so are the surrounding areas!

[@joycemosakowski3648]

Thanks for going that extra mile for us! Your the best Robert!🏞🏆🏅

[@dandimitroff5616]

Robert, I’m glad you got a chance to visit my hometown. Hopefully you’ll make it back because you haven’t exhausted all the things the Key City and the land of Five Flags has to offer. I’m sure your meet-up group gave you the dets on the area. Be good! Drive Safe!

[@mynorthidaholife]

Lots of familiar sights. Brings back memories of our old stomping grounds.

[@issystar96]

Dubuque is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen.

[@reelhappytravellers2691]

This is exactly why we're following you This is purely magic. Your content is amazing. Nice video!!!!

[@mariemills8337]

I learn so much traveling with you. I enjoy your videos and the dialogue that you give to go along with the videos. I also enjoy our cooking lessons when you give them. Thanks for sharing all you do. Marie from South Carolina . God bless!

[@TexasPegP]

Iowa seems very diverse with all sorts of different landscapes & environments-who knew 😀 Thanks for taking us along Robert! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@lindawoody8501]

My ancestor came to Galena, IL to provide cattle for the lead miners back in 1837 before going to Dubuque, IA to live for several years. My Great Great Grandmother was born in 1837 in Dubuque, IA. Thanks for sharing the views Robert! I have watched your KZbin adventures from FL to AZ and all over!

[@cherylyoung440]

My 2 1/2 year old grandson is demanding we get him a camper he sings your song and immediately asks to see Robert when he walks in door. He loves vehicles 🚗 and is essentially in love with the Mini Tinies and your truck! He says I go Roberts Truck 🛻 so cute. Love your channel. I think it’s educational so I let him watch as much as he wants. He notices wild life and different terrain then he’s seen in New England. He says 🌵 cactus now and has never seen one in person yet!

[@BikesBoatsBivouacs]

Love the view of the locks. The pricing on the campground was very reasonable. Nice job.

[@Astragoth2]

what a nice relaxed atmosphere. It feels like vacation!

[@redswift31]

Its a nice place to live.

[@safepetproducts]

The potosi brewery is also a harvest host. Nice place to stay. Check out the House on the Rock next time you are in the area.

[@robedmunds7163]

Never change the core music of your channel, it creats just the right feeling😁

[@martiabr2]

Ah, Potosi, my hometown. I remember the days before the brewery, and when the St. John’s lead mine was the main attraction.

[@tenlittleindians]

A favorite local brewery beer of mine is Huber Bock. I had a tavern in Dyersville in the early 80's when that Dubuque brewery was still running. These were just old local breweries long established before the current micro brewery craze got started.

[@TMeAdventures]

Love all your vids and travels! We’ve been watching some of your older vids of places we’ve been. Just the best!

[@SidLaw1manband]

Excellent presentation. I'll be in that area in 2 months. Looking forward to exploring. This definitely whetted my appetite!

[@louisegross3886]

Ok I'm back you still rolling new amazing views

[@galpalsal]

Hey Robert! Dubuque looks so interesting! Who knew? Lots of cool views, houses, and Key West?!? Loved the ride, as usual. You’ve inspired me to learn more about the Mississippi River.

[@chuckgoodman3828]

Great episode of “my neck of the woods” Robert! FYI, Hwy 35 between Prairie du Chien and La Crosse would’ve been an awesome addition to this video. Maybe next time you’re in the area! 😉

[@debbiewerner7124]

Never thought of Dubuque as a destination. Pretty place. ❤

[@johnbettiebishop6673]

We keep our hiking shoes in our truck so if we come upon a trail all we have to do is change shoes. Great video Robert

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Thanks for showing us around the Dubuque area! Loved seeing all the towns you visited!

[@1970boobear]

🙌 Sunday has begun woohoo!! Thank you for this awesome-as-ever video... Happy travels! ✌ 💘 🍻

[@steveridgley1386]

Galena is know for the giant gates that could seal off the downtown if the River flooded. I guess inoperative now they still are present as you enter. I think you can see one at the 33:01 mark on the right?

[@DonnaDoveWinters]

That homemade bread on your sandwich from Pitosi brewing looked heavenly!

[@primasitamenor7679]

I love all your videos. I have a vicarious feeling of going with you on your trips!!! You’re fantastic!

[@PMCraig]

Thanks for a great video! This past summer my friend and I rode our motorcycles to Nelson Dewey State Park which is just north of Petosi. We camped there a few days and took day trips around the area. We’ve done this quite a few times as I live in central, IL and he lives in Minneapolis, it’s almost perfectly half way between us. Great area and the ride north along the river to LaCrosse is spectacular!

[@redswift31]

Im a Dubuque native born and raised. Cool to see a rare video on my home, glad you liked it.

[@PrairieMidwester]

This my first time watching your videos. Great stuff! I’ll be back for sure!

[@gregmetcalf7520]

I grew up in Dubuque. We used to walk into Horse shoe canyon and free climb the bluffs to get to the other side.

[@georgiavanhouten9360]

So beautiful,My God,I had no idea how lovely,Thanks Robert and Elli

[@R6-D2]

11:41 That's the Shot Tower in Dubuque, Iowa. The tower was built in 1856 to provide lead shot for shotguns, etc.

[@idaahtoong5187]

Thank you for your video. I live in Dubuque Iowa and excited watching this..

[@coastalroamer2024]

I enjoy all of your videos but I especially enjoy the locations that are less publicized. The scenery is great and less bustle is refreshing. I am bias as a midwesterner but Florida transplant. Look forward to the next adventure!

[@JourneysByJay]

Very beautiful! You just don't expect to find scenery like this Iowa. Always fun to join you on your travels! CHEERS!

[@bhart2408]

Amazing video Robert. I’m from Dubuque and have some good memories of the place. Streets are kind of weird there! Lot’s of one way streets.

[@sgtkingking2228]

A relaxing trip on a Sunday morning. One of these days you'll remember to wear your 'hiking shoes'. LOL Continue to have fun and always be safe, my friend.

[@goldtopazasylum]

how fun, my parents used to take us to Galena every summer, my mom loved it there, Galena is like the getaway for us Chicagoans, Dubuque too 🙂

[@kathygrice1]

Welcome! This is so cool :) you’re in my town

[@bambamdoc1193]

Can't wait to see your highlights of our town, Des Moines

[@jeannestark6293]

Greetings from Clearwater Florida I didn’t get to watch your video on Sunday because I just had a 40th high school reunion . Catching up with my coffee on Monday morning.

[@seemarathore6197]

Thank you for the lovely video Robert. Enjoyed seeing the places and the Mississippi always reminds me of Mark Twain and his wonderful stories. I appreciate your effort in putting together these videos for us. Take care and have fun🤣😝😜

[@bertkelly7650]

Hiker trick, always wear your hiking shoes that way you will never forget them. : - )

[@najruqwi7008]

[@rickokemp1244]

[@erickort1987]

[@kimiastewart6293]

Dubuque is a very cool town, Galena is my favorite small town in Illinois, it was a nice weekend getaway from Chicago

[@tenlittleindians]

Sorry nobody pointed out Vinny Vanucci's Italian restaurant while you were in Galena. I stop there when I travel through the area.

[@ngpoct123456789]

Great video! I have always wanted to go to Galena. I can’t wait to see your Omaha video. I hope you enjoyed our city.

[@firebirdlover77]

.. So LOVED This Video Of The Misadventures of *Micro* Minnie In Some Wonderful, Majestic States!! Thanks, as Always for Sharing. Blessings to You Both, Hola from TeXas ~Laurie Ann

[@livinintheedge3728]

Awesome video! I was in the same campground and visiting the same places last week! It amazed me how not flat the area was around there, until you head west to see Field of Dreams. Even then, the rolling hills were fun to watch while driving down the road. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@extremeensemble608]

Watching from Trinidad n Tobago, always great content. Thanks for sharing. Great travel inspiration.

[@ReddTyndall]

I like your beach boysesque theme song.

[@bpcadventure1633]

Another beautiful video, Robert. Thank you!!!

[@sandydremmel1506]

Thank you for mentioning Tri states, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.

[@bostricter3128]

The mines of Spain is south of Dubuque. Going towards the dam and past along side Wisconsin is north.

[@StephyandTimWayco]

Thanks to your video we just discovered some new places up in that area.. we always go to Galena, only went to Dubuque on one trip to do a river boat ride then went right back to Galena. You really need to go back and spend more time in Galena ! Sad you didn’t get to try any food there, so many amazing restaurants!

[@mr.b3168]

Never thought these places would ever get love on youtube. One of my go to areas on a motorcycle from Chicago. the roads in SE Wisconsin are gorgeous and curvy. Just pick any county road named after a letter!.

[@guncole8063]

There is a small town just south of there called Bellevue that is beautiful in the spring time!

[@jasonbergeron6347]

Bravo!! Nice one Rob!!

[@willmoneymaker]

I love your videos. Do you know this video is listed as “unlisted’? I’m so happy that I was able to find it.

[@josephkrol7673]

I always enjoy watching your videos Robert! Joe from England! I moved from Korea to England now

[@kg4tri]

I use to go to Dubuque Ia all the rime but only for work. I was a truck driver and loaded out of the John Deere Plant there . The company had a drop lot next to an ole abandon Brewery that I was old once belonged to Al Capone . The owners wanted to tear it down and the locals wanted to keep it for historical reasons. I never got a chance to tour the town and see the sites so it is nice to see what I have been missing.

[@arnoldaltjr.2099]

Nice travel video but you sure missed all the most scenic places. I am from the Tri State area. Stay safe..

[@robedmunds7163]

I see you found the exact middle point of Key West. Well the dead centre anyway.🤣

[@songphow1]

Like your music ... big fan from Thailand.

[@dvferyance]

One thing you should have done when you were there was the Mississippi River Museum.

[@erickort1987]

actualy my dad was born and raised at dubuquei ,ia ,he said the oldest part of DBQ was at northern part of DBQ, a few yellow brick buildings are there
