[@williampeters8776]

Enjoyed the series and the music. Y’all are a great biking duo, looking forward to future endeavors. Congratulations on the new job.

Aw thanks William! I super appreciate the kind words :)

Happy Marriage to you two. I thoroughly enjoyed your video series. It brought back memories of my own coast to coast trip, although from east to west. It was fun seeing the Erie Canal footage especially. I entered at Troy, having come from New Hampshire. When you passed through Michigan on BR 20, you were within15 miles of my house. I wish I would have known so I could have offered you dinner or a place to stay. Great footage. Thanks you. And again, happy marriage. Remember, ask your spouse everyday, "What can I do for you today?" It's the secret to a successful life together. Take care...... and Tailwinds!! Bob

[@brockrush6611]

Enjoyed the videos! Inspired me to plan our own, "Next Adventure"! We travelled in Europe by bike for a couple of months in 1985. This trip will be in your memories forever!

[@palmerbowles1631]

I’m so glad you enjoyed them and that they inspired you to plan the next adventure! That truly is the greatest compliment you could give :) Kenzie and I are hoping to travel in Europe via bicycle in the near future as well. I’m sure that trip was magical in 1985!

Stumbled upon this video - funny enough my wife and I finished the EST/ECT from NYC to Buffalo (and on to Toronto and Detroit) just a couple of weeks ago. Nice to see you on those trails going the other direction! We loved it!

[@palmerbowles1631]

I’m glad you guys stumbled across it and enjoyed it! I bet that trail is even more wonderful this time of year! Really was a highlight section of our trip. Thanks for writing!

[@PastorKwangle]

Thank you both for sharing this whole adventure and good luck on the start of your own adventures together. Randomly found your channel and really enjoyed this whole series. Music choices are what make all the difference sometimes, and I think you have done a great job throughout. Very inspiring!

[@palmerbowles1631]

Aww thanks so much for the kind words :) that means a lot. I’m glad you stumbled across some of the videos. I totally agree that the music can make all the difference and am glad that you enjoyed some of the picks. Happy trails!

[@cadenstirtz6882]

What a journey, always enjoy watching your adventures

[@palmerbowles1631]

Aw thanks Caden!

[@jeff5721]

Congratulations on completing your journey happily and safely. I've really enjoyed these videos, and now have to go back and watch the ones early in your trip that I missed! The memories will get sweeter as the years pass (at least that's been my experience after my Northern Tier trip). Treasure it, and good luck in your future travels.

[@palmerbowles1631]

Thank you so much for the kind and heartfelt message Jeff! It’s been so good to hear from others who did the NT in the past. Hopefully the videos brought back some memories :)

[@bikebob66]

just stumbled on this video,,,greatly done! Hoping to convince a buddy of mine to do the Empire trail from Buffalo to NYC ,bike camping along the way, next year! Thanks for the inspirations! also will be using Amtrak to get us started from Chicago!

[@palmerbowles1631]

Thank you Bike Bob! You should definitely convince that buddy. Maybe the videos will help haha. The Amtrak really does tie it all together so well. Enjoy your travels!!

[@vhabersmith]

Really enjoyed your series and look forward to more. Do you have a wedding registry or a way to make a contribution?

[@palmerbowles1631]

Thank you! I’m glad that you enjoyed it :) we had a bicycle trip fund account through “the knot” website where we kinda registry fundraised for this trip. I’m guessing the account is no longer but it might still be up there. Very kind of you to ask about that :)
