Day 3 / The Great American Goat Migration / South Dakota To Chicago

[@laurenkeon3267]

You’re like a kid in a candy store, mesmerized by ‘green’. Makes me smile watching u. I live in the Pacific Northwest, Portland, OR. Gorgeous 4 seasons. Yup, we got rain, ........but because of it we have a carpet of green thru-out our state. WA and Idaho too. So many people hate the rain. Me, I could not live anywhere without the crisp sweet smell of Fall, the ever changing, beautiful colors of all the deciduous trees, yummy summer days we ALL look forward to, the gentle opening of new life In the Spring, and once in awhile, the delight of snow. We don’t get much but it’s a welcome, beautiful sight. Crappy tho, cause we can also get ice, hard on our trees and US. Don’t like traveling in ice for sure. But it’s minor compared to the splendor of all the rest of it we get to enjoy. Just fun watching u take pleasure in God’s gifts. water is going to b a big part of our climate change this country is enduring. Farm life without assurance of needed water has got to b nerve wracking, let alone expensive with additional feed needed. You two have a wonderful set up. Keep looking for possibilities but in meantime, pray for RAIN! Take care. Sing lullabies to those babies. Today’s trip was rough! colo leaves

[@rosielancaster5184]

Thank you Thank you. I LOVE your videos. This "Hoosier" was just waiting for you to hit Indiana. It's no wonder you love the water and greenery with all the difficulties you live with at home. Derek, you're amazing. I hope there's more to see. Blessings as your travels continue.

[@pathowes32]

Safe travels,Derek. Glad you got to meet up with your dad

[@barbaracyrus1421]

Yes that was way 😎

[@mary-annnuttall6115]

I'm really enjoying the road trip. Thanks! It's sad to see the babies leave their home but I'm so happy for their new owners to meet their new " kids."

[@goin2green]

You're living the good life. What an opportunity.

[@ivylady13]

I live in California but I'm from Chicago. Nice to see the city is still standing. Thank you and be safe.

[@petebernhagen4640]

Thanks again Derek for sharing The largest goat giveaway in USA history. You're the man

[@kathywykle8573]

I love too watch you all. You are one of the thing I look for to see each day.

[@audreyabdo7719]

A great river and building to cross. Oh I want some good Chicago 🍕. I love the sausage grinder/hoagies. With pepper and onions. They taste as good as they smell.that’s the thing about road trips, you enjoy good smell of foods.

[@deborahjaniak7531]

Woo hoo Minnesota! Land of $10,000 Lakes!

[@Valandaimee]

Wow couldn’t believe that was your dad. He looks so young , especially when you think you are a grandpa, and he is a great grandpa . Hard work hasn’t aged you two .

[@nicolekelce2686]

Welcome to Illinois home to the worst roads in the Country! I live in Rockford. 90 miles west of Chicago. It always amazes me when I leave the state and the roads instantly become much better!

I've been crying for about 12 hours straight...this is just what I needed!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

I'm sorry sweetie! I hope you are feeling better! Hugs! 🤗🤗

[@markkristynichols845]

🎼 🎶 🎵 That 70’s show... a favorite 🤩! ❤️ Kristy

[@ArreisMorsCI]

What an absolute awesome surprise!!! I nearly cried for joy for you!!! Ok, my eyes were full and they over filled... a lot, but I was very quiet about it!!! This video, as per your usual, was so enjoyable and just beautiful!!!! The sights and stories... far better than any history class in school, or television program! I'd watch you talking about places all day if I could... when do you start?? LOL!! hanks for sharing your travel with us again!!!

[@barbaralavoie1045]

From other people’s comments I see you will be seeing your Dad. How wonderful and exciting. Being so far away, makes it difficult to see parents sometimes.

[@judip3660]

Good morning Derek happy to see you flying down the backroads of our states. In the San Diego county most of the windmills break down and those that work have piles of our precious birds dead at their bases. Windmills kill more than send electricity to the waiting homes!!

[@dollyc4314]

So enjoying the road trip. Hi, Derek's Dad, nice to meet you! So glad you made it out of Chi-town alive. If you're anticipating a move, come to Colorado. We have all the seasons, the plains and the mountains and lots of green. And...we even have a Dairy Goat Assn. Can't wait much longer for the surprise. Anticipation is getting to me. Crystal - love your goats at the goat show. Hoping for a vid soon on the Buck's showing.

[@kerriwhybrow4804]

looking forward to the surprise [ my guess a mini nubian for crystal or more ducks ] oregon where bron went looks pretty and green drive safe and good that you got to see your dad hope he can visit one day

[@tricountyfamilyfarm8993]

❤❤❤ Safe Travels

[@michellebreitbarth4279]

Thank-you for taking me to Chicago, I said I would never go there! Best way to go was riding along with Derek! 😊

[@sharonloomis5264]

Your goats are going "Dad! Get off the trampoline!" Nice bumpy ride.

[@kh3612]

Move to Wisconsin and smell our dairy air! 😁🤟🏻

[@lisacasoli]

Awe. Sweet pea was a nickname of mine.its nice to see these videos while your traveling beautiful sceneries,etc.. it's a calm and relaxing to see it and listen to you. So glad you were able to see your dad!!! I miss my dad he's been gone for 5yrs, you and your dad look a lot alike. Hmm surprise for the goats did you buy another "toy" lol aww. That traffic is nothing !!! 😊

[@ameliasonger3758]

May The Good Lord Jesus protect you on your journey to and from. God Bless you and your family

[@janiebetancourt6863]

Hi Derek much love to you & your family I hope you're having an amazing day today I really love watching your videos so much ☺️ I came to your channel from lumnah acres ❤️ & I love how cute all of your goat's are 🥰 I am also glad you got to see & spend time with your Dad take care & be safe on your trip ☺️❤️☺️❤️☺️❤️☺️

[@Cajunkaty]

Awesome.

[@ediekoller1144]

Love your trips when in the process dropping off the baby goats. Very interesting.

[@williamkn621]

Love these trips, the towns and roads are going down many of them I might have been on and my girlfriend is enjoying the scenery virtually traveling since she has had surgery and can't ride currently And seeing the goats and hearing you it is awesome

[@lotus....]

What a sweet reunion!

[@kyliepechler]

Glad to see you got to spend an hour with your Dad. I have to say, your Dad still looks so young! He only looks as if he is your older brother, lol.

[@crimeghost4099]

Hey Derek and Crystal, what a journey u are making I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 love watching your videos 🙏🌹

[@deannaharby5677]

When you get to Mi ---Welcome !!!!! We are in Brownstown , Mi 40 minutes SE of Detroit... as always...stay safe !!!!!

[@kellyhawks1889]

Your trip reminds me of my road trip to Texas and Oklahoma from upstate NY last month to buy some Kiko goats and a great LGD puppy. Been watching you and Crystal for a long time, love you guys!

[@twillahelmrich7360]

Wow. Glad you got to spend some time with you dad. Your almost to my state. Michigan! Can't wait for the next video. Stay safe. GOD BLESS.

[@dawndrake5833]

I’ve been to MN in the winter. It is cold for these AZ bones.

[@joanneganon7157]

That's one body of water I have not experienced thanks for Sharing 🐦. Milwaukee is a Dirty little Place 😝. That's so COOL you got to see your Dad 💞 Twenty Dollars 😱 I've never heard of a Toll being so High! Hope you don't run into too many of those. Safe travels 🌈 JO JO IN VT 💕😄

[@pbayer773]

Love you guys,,, love you humor, your family is wonderful. God bless you. Love the goats too.

[@pbayer773]

Good looking dad..how nice

[@gailvaucher1294]

Love to visit Chicago

[@annar6430]

Good Morning Derek. From ,finally ,a rainy Jamaica 🇯🇲💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@gregandpeggycampbell]

Thank you for showing us all across United States

[@Irnbru4ever]

I used to drive trucks for J B Hunt out of Lowell Arkansas, I now live in Scotland UK which is millions of miles away, I miss the highways and the driving .... Thanks for the memories Derek

[@barbaracyrus1421]

Beautiful Country I'm traveling too I'm in Cody Wyoming and headed to Yellowstone for the week. I sure enjoy the video of your journey. Love the way you and Crystal are keeping all of us interested in you story of the dairy goats.. Wouldn't it be somthing if TLC CHANEL FOUND AND LOVED YOUR LIFE . LOL. sorry got lost in a thought. Safe travels to you and the beautiful babys.

[@markkristynichols845]

Oh and Derek, you will also get the “waves 👋 “ here in your potentially new home, Missouri, specifically West Plains!!! Seriously, you and Crystal need to check out the area! ❤️ Kristy 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jean9780]

Derek I have truly enjoyed your trip. I just want to say THANK YOU for including us. 😊

[@wilycat5290]

Great video! Thanks for the trip 😊

[@sandrathomas2145]

Man you hit Chicago at the wrong time of day. I will not drive in Chicago if I don't have to. I live in Illinois and when I go on vacation I go around that windy city. Your dad looks really young but glad you got to visit with him.

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

Derek you have a great talent. Not many men could make a road trip interesting. We are enjoying your trip. You could move to Oklahoma, snow is uncommon. Part of the Mississippi. We just moved from where I294 and I 290 cross to Oklahoma.

[@mmarz8201]

Texas is green and has pretty mild weather at least in the southern area

[@gayleosborne7072]

Seen one of those windmills slice the wing off of a beautiful big bird, so sad.

[@annzaff2866]

Check out Arkansas for your Goat Farm. Cheap land, few restrictions and not much snow!

[@janetmcdonald9340]

Derrick, you are too cute!!

[@gailvaucher1294]

Be safe

[@GenuinelyJodi]

Love Milwaukee and Chicago! So cool to see your dad!! They renamed Sears Tower the Willis Tower but it will always be Sears Tower to me. I grew up about 45 minutes NW of Chitown. Don’t miss that traffic.

[@southernbelle3995]

You are getting closer to my part of the country. It will be interesting to see how close. You have probably all ready been there, but Houston traffic will make your toes curl. I-10 is an eye opener. Glad you got to visit with your father. Stay safe, trucker.

[@maryflores1462]

Yep, Indiana toll road!

[@vangiefich]

What beautiful country! How nice to visit your dad! You guys may need to find a place with some water and greenery!

[@gailvaucher1294]

Wentzville, Mo

[@devynrowe7492]

Love the reference to that 70s show.

[@pbayer773]

You would love Western Kansas, cheap land, lots of open spaces, cute small towns,

[@meowhehe00]

💙💙

[@beverleyspugsandhomestead.]

You should move somewhere greener, it’s good for the soul, and you can feed 4-5 goats per acre on good land like that, tell crystal the goats would love it

[@southfloridaherenow63]

I came over from Lumnah Acres. Happy to be here.

[@mccallumjc1]

I’m in the passenger seat with Derek watching the video so when the end blue cactus dairy music plays I’m like ‘what’!

[@stephaniefunderburk8606]

NC, TN and SC are really beautiful places. We are in NC we haven't had snow at my house in 3yrs.

[@pamelatwotwo79]

Chicago fix your roads !!!!! Precious Cargo atraveling !!!

[@Grimmarox]

You could just roll up some sod and throw it in the back once the babies are gone. I've been to Minnesota in the winter and I am a Massachusetts girl. Their winter was so different like colder with all those lakes. I grew up near the Mystic River and Atlantic Ocean.

[@mariealfano6225]

Love watching you while you're driving cross country to bring the babies to their homes.

[@maryflores1462]

Yeah, Chicago! Yep, the roads suck here! I’m from NW Indiana, about 40 miles from Chicago!

[@MrsMcbey]

Thx for the tour of the usa lol

[@carolyancy1703]

You could move your beautiful family to Texas. We are green and have mild winters. And lots of goat families =D

[@brendatuttle6605]

Interstates around Chicago are always congested!!! I live in Indianapolis, IN, and we always make sure we time our trips around rush hour in Chicago!!

[@ruthgallant6047]

We always seem to arrive in Chicago during the supper traffic. So crazy there. Hang in there.

[@stevedingman474]

Wow your dad looks more like your brother then your father ! You really need too get crystal to the Midwest and see how great it is ! I hate Chicago traffic hate it ! Swear I’d rather drive hours around it rather than spending those hours stuck in traffic !

[@carmendoyle9786]

U are good man ! And so is wife for being there for others and haven these babies all over the state that so beautiful ☺️ cheers be safe get gone ti rest and spend more time with the family such hard worker !

[@barbaralavoie1045]

You must have been very tired last night. And now you’re off again🤗

[@vickibermudez1027]

Excited to see where your going to in Ohio,

[@lindagullage3077]

That was pretty cool getting to see your dad.

[@sheiladuncan1027]

Now you're cruisin through my area. I used to work with race horses and travelled from Chicago to Florida and most tracks in between. You guys should check into land in TN, Dereck. Seasons aren't as bad as up north ... usually ! Lots of green for the goats, and places to explore for your family.

[@ledraslavik7868]

I lived in the Chicago area for several years. I remember standing on the train platform at 5 something AM in January and seeing on my phone that the temp was -19 degrees F with a ‘feels like’ -40. Definitely stay south of the Mason Dixon!

[@Dilasguppies]

Haha omg you look just like your dad! I have to agree crystal I dont do the snow.

[@sheilarubino7241]

I used to think Chicago traffic was bad until I moved to Atlanta...

[@lulahawkins6271]

So happy you got to see your dad safe travels from us in Northern Illinois, Rockford

[@SrSanchez5665]

I live in Milwaukee and I’m pretty sure I saw my car silver Dodge Grand Caravan next to the orange trailer in the video driving in front of you that was me!!!!!!!!!

[@saltywench]

Thank you so much for taking us with you Derek! You are a wonderful traveling companion!

[@tracyguglielmo6948]

I love goat's

[@heidijesse]

There are NO tornadoes in Idaho..maybe one a year down south. I'm just going to throw it out there again.😂 Pretty farm land,green,water everywhere. You don't have to come all the way north so you dont have to deal with so much snow. More freedom here then any state except alaska. The more east you go the more tornadoes you'll get. Best of luck wherever you end up!😊😊😊

[@deborahbeattie9103]

Is Idaho expensive to buy land?

[@heidijesse]

@@deborahbeattie9103 yes it is. There is an abundance of people moving to Idaho and it has driven the market up but the same thing can be said about most states as of now unfortunately.

[@deborahbeattie9103]

@@heidijesse I thought it might be, I followed the journey of other people buying land and they gave up in Idaho and Montana. It does seem quite beautiful 😊

[@charlesvaughn5055]

Subscribed and was sent over by the Lumnahs . Have a great day

Kinda lily Ike’s like Baton Rouge @ New Orleans! ROLL ON MIGHTY MISSISSIP🌊🌊

[@kimfrommn7162]

Derek, thanks for all the compliments on Minnesota! I am proud of our State! The windmills are only located in the southern part of our State. I do not get down to that area very often,so I am intrigued by them as well. I live 15 minutes from down town St.Paul and when I head out of town, I am heading north either to Duluth/Lake Superior area or northwest about a 3 hour drive to relatives on many different lakes! I will put up with Winter and it's snow to live in this state! There is a lot to do here in the Winter as well as the other 3 Seasons! I am really enjoying your videos as you travel the USA delivering goats. Kinda sad to see them go, they have been fun watching them grow the last few months! Thanks Derek! 😊

[@deborahbeattie9103]

Indiana 😊 I think I know where the surprise is. I was wondering if it would be!! Take me home country roads

[@emilyhostetler4946]

You should move to Georgia! I'm from there. Lots of good browse for goats. You can get land that has woods and pasture and your goats will have lots to eat. Plenty of rain and green, and maybe snow once or twice a year for you to enjoy in short bursts. We've had goats for over 10 years there and they're always happy. Nice temperature as well. Not sure if you're driving through GA on this trip, but I hope you did and loved it!

[@wendywobbles1]

A man his van and a trailer full of goats just riding through the states, I live in the northwest of England and it rains a lot!! lol it's not all it's cracked up to be Derek ;) but from your business point of view I understand, great video once again, looking forward to seeing more goat shows

[@jodiely7983]

I had a lot of anxiety for you in the traffic congestion. I worried about you being rear ended! I also thought of the babies having to breathe exhaust fumes. I’m sure they are used to nice clean dry air in AZ. Loved seeing the change in climate.

[@jean9780]

Maybe they are trying to say we promise if you let us out in one of those green fields we promise one lap around we will come back please, please we promise. 😇😇😇 the little angels Ha Ha

[@hanorabrennan7909]

Crystal, stay in the southern states. Living in Ireland and it's erratic weather is a bummer! We're all riddled with arthritis and ache all days. Stay in the warm states girl!
