[@francesmcdonald3716]

I love you have your mom. She's having such a good time. I just love her. This is something you will always cherish. I watched your Custer Park reviews on the different parks there. Very helpful.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Frances, mom is truly one of a kind & we live that! 😊

[@melodieyanchik4309]

Make those memories because it'll be then when you can't travel anymore you sit in a permanent place town you really like okay it's like whatever you can always look back on those memories on your computer and look back of all those pictures and memories of your mom and everybody all the places you travel

[@rvamericayall]

Absolutely, we will, thanks

[@melodieyanchik4309]

Keep on making memories with your mom cuz our parents are always not always around us forever but at least you have all the memories of the camping and traveling with you and your RV it with star

[@rvamericayall]

For sure, thanks

[@mariecraig239]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video, the badlands are just beautiful. Glad Grammy Kay is enjoying her adventures, may your life continue with the best of Health Grammy Kay! You’re a treat to observe enjoying life and adventure!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💞

[@rvamericayall]

Thank you so much Marie! ❤️

[@petraolsen2397]

Grammy Kay had me in stitches talking on that old time telephone, love ya Grammy! Nice video beautiful scenery.

[@rvamericayall]

LOL, right Petra? She winged that whole conversation. 😂

[@normangebhardt2092]

Best video yet showing the Badlands of South Dakota. Really enjoyed seeing that area of SD and Wall Drug again.

[@rvamericayall]

Thank you Norman! So glad you enjoyed it. We had a great time there.

[@annamaybeekman5152]

I have seen Wall Drug bumper stickers for yrs. And have always wondered what it was all about. It looks like fun

[@rvamericayall]

Definitely stop in and see it when you're in the area Annamay!

[@rvtimetraveler]

Grammy Kaye Betty Lou said send her a postcard!😂😂

[@rvamericayall]

😂 She just winged that whole thing!

[@rvtimetraveler]

RV Texas Y'all she a funny!

[@leann4925]

After a rainy day it was nice to see the sun. Enjoyed this and yes those are some beautiful views. Grammy Kay did a great job on her phone call as got a chuckle out of it. Y'all take care. Love y'all

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Leann! Glad you survived the rain.

[@francesmcdonald3716]

I too love the phone call. Laughing; she pulled it off like a pro.

[@deaconessfaithcommunitynur4745]

Love Grammy Kay on the phone and great views of Badlands

[@rvamericayall]

We had no idea what she had in mind for the phone. Grammy Kay cracks us up.

[@bobcausey]

Enjoyed following along. Neat rock formations. Different color and shape. Bighorn sheep was a bonus. Best footage I’ve seen.

[@rvamericayall]

Hey Bob! Thanks so much! It is an amazing place!

[@randykrack7181]

Loved Grammy Kay's squirrel shirt! Just bought one for my wife's birthday.

[@rvamericayall]

Awesome Randy! We found that t-shirt for her at a KOA in Kansas years ago.

[@covetthecamper2289]

Tom's laugh at 12:35 is priceless. I know that feeling.... So awesome. Great vlog. Thx!

[@rvamericayall]

LOL Jeff! We knew you would understand! 😁

[@roydavis2242]

Actually, SD law only requires "trucks" to stop at weigh stations. It does get a little confusing since it doesn't specify commercial trucks so a 1 ton or higher dully hauling a 18 K fifth wheel may be required to stop. I have heard of people pulling into weigh stations being asked why they pulled in. Many states will have signs saying commercial vehicles.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks for the clarification Roy.

[@getlostrving9163]

Enjoying the video, but oh my gosh, your moma cracks me up! She really had me going for a second, lol, thinking she was really talking to somebody....lol. She is a character! Yal'll have fun, blessings to ya from Cindy and Dennis.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks so much Cindy and Dennis! She did that all off the top of her head. LOL

[@TexomaRoadTrippers]

Very cool! The rock formations are pretty darn cool. Brandon

[@rvamericayall]

They really are, Brandon. We almost felt like we were on a different planet!

[@jomarkelly3932]

We were there last September on our way to the Buffalo Roundup in Custer State Park. No other words... awesome!

[@rvamericayall]

We agree JoMar! How was Buffalo Roundup? It sounds like a neat experience.

[@jomarkelly3932]

RV Texas Y'all The Buffalo Roundup was great, a worthwhile event! Every year on the last Friday of September. If you ever get the opportunity, you should try to attend. It is on the Wildlife Loop in Custer State Park, SD... Safe Travels!

[@rvamericayall]

@@jomarkelly3932 Thanks so much! Adding it to our list!

[@annamaybeekman5152]

I love fossils

[@mikethomas2870]

Thanx you guys, enjoy your site!!!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Mike!

[@annamaybeekman5152]

Safe travels. Happy trails

[@BenNstyle]

Good Morning Y'all ☕️! What a nice surprise to get the alert thinking it's "Wingin' It" Wednesday, but getting a full travel vlog episode is even better! 👍🏼 Wall Drug was unique, but I vote for a Buc'ees coast to coast, at least one in every state! The Badlands look even more amazing from the hiking trails (we've just drove thru and stopped at the VC). And this is for everyone watching: 10 days from today, Saturday, September 28th is National Public Lands Day with FREE entry into all National Parks! Thanks for the video and safe travels y'all!

[@rvamericayall]

Hey Ben! Thanks for the reminder about Public Lands Day. Buc-cee’s coast to coast would be awesome!

[@DARNGOODADVICE]

I have been there, very nice area... Thanks guys for your video. Always a pleasure to watch. Take care of each other. Don

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Don! We really enjoyed the area.

[@VernonWallace]

While you were in Mitchell you should have gone to the Corn Palace.

[@rvamericayall]

You're right Vernon! Next time!

[@michaelstewart8143]

Granny Kay is a hoot.

[@rvamericayall]

We think so too Michael! LOL

[@VernonWallace]

Great information. Looks like you really enjoyed yourselves.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Vernon. We had a GREAT time! :)

[@aquablue3803]

Beautiful simple y beautiful

[@rvamericayall]

We agree 100%!

[@tumbleweedking5668]

Thanks for sharing, such natural beauty. Were making the trip next year to see all SD has to offer as were thinking of relocating there. How did you find the locals that you met? Seems so open and sparse which is exactly what we love.

[@rvamericayall]

Hi Scott! Everyone we met there was nice. It's a beautiful area.

[@JodysJourney]

I got a little confused how you went from Custer State Park to Iowa to the Badlands. Haha. Then I saw in your description that you are catching up on your travel videos. 👍🏻 No worries. I’m enjoying the journey.

[@rvamericayall]

Sorry to confuse you, Jody. :) That's one of the reasons we've decided to publish the travel videos from this trip on both Sundays and Wednesdays... to show the trip in order. :)

[@KeepOnRvn]

Looks like a great time. ☺️

[@rvamericayall]

Definitely!

[@gailrobinson7125]

Great, great video! Thanks for sharing that beautiful scenery. Grammy Kay cracked me up there in Wall Drugs. Is a stand up comic gig in her future? Wall Drugs just seems to grow bigger all the time. It sure isn’t anything like it was in the 60’s. Did you guys get your free ice water? Really want to revisit that area soon. Hope you’re not getting drenched down in the Houston area. Wish we could have gotten some of that rain here in Wimberley. Safe travels. 😃

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks so much Gail! We appreciate it so much. Grammy Kay is hilarious when she gets going. She winged that whole conversation. LOL We did get our free ice water and drank a bunch of 5 cent coffee! Such fun! We've gotten a little bit of rain where we are, but not too much. Hope some makes it over your way.

[@ZeebNinja]

I see fuel is cheaper in SD than Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana. We just traveled in our DP from Northern California to Middlebury Indiana and found diesel to average around $2.97. It is a lot more in California and Nevada :(

[@rvamericayall]

Good to know.

[@annamaybeekman5152]

How beautiful to see thr bighorn up so close. I love them

[@rvamericayall]

They were really neat to watch. So sure-footed!

[@gthornton3]

We were up there 3 years ago it has a rugged beautiful about the land. I want to go back. Thx for sharing.

[@rvamericayall]

Rugged beauty... that is the perfect way to describe it, Georgeana!

[@timebanditrvtravels3449]

on our way

[@rvamericayall]

You will enjoy! Don’t miss Wall Drug!

[@mariavicinaiz4504]

Love Grammy Kay!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Maria! :)

[@David-ce7hg]

Great Video guys.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks David!

[@hottlimited]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@ibcontent]

Fun!

[@rvamericayall]

Yes it was! 😁

[@gorrdd]

I want to enter the Good Lands...

[@lbjailer]

Nice. thank you.

[@rvamericayall]

We appreciate it Walter. Thanks!

[@jwrappuhn71]

Fantastic vid ya'll, really loved the inside your RV segment, it gives me a perspective on what it's like tooling down the road looking out that fabulous huge window, the Grammy K scene was classic.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks so much! We’re glad you enjoyed it. Grammy Kay winged that whole thing! 😂

[@johnsolberg7301]

Great video. We did the SAME trip 2019 late summer. When you stopped in Mitchell SD you should have toured the Corn Palace in downtown Mitchell ( free attraction) Unique

[@rvamericayall]

You are right, John. We didn't realize the Corn Palace was there until we were moving on. Hope to visit it in the future. It sounds like a neat place.

[@ronniebatiesr4491]

Thanks Guys great job safe travels enjoy all your videos an Grammy Kay 👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🐶

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks so much Ronnie! 😁

[@gwenmoody8323]

Love Grammy Kay

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Gwen!

[@wbrown62]

Thanks for the Wall drug tour. I saw the signs on my way up to ND a couple years ago. Wanted to go but didn’t have time. The Badlands tour was cool as well. BTW, Grammy K is mom to who? You both refer to her as mom and I may have missed if y’all explained in another video. Glad she can be with y’all. She adds a nice element to the vids. Tell her I’m watching and I said hello! (She doesn’t know me.....I just think she’s fun and funny 😉).

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Walter! Grammy K is Stacie’s Mom. We had a great time traveling with her.

[@bensonsspeedshop1191]

Yippee! Another Great RVTexas Video!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks so much! Enjoy! :)

[@diananeal9645]

When are you guys coming to Florida? Please let us know as we manage a gorgeous little RV park in Punta gorda, it's called shell creek RV park

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Diana! Sounds like fun.

[@wes2975]

Great video. I like your captain’s chair covers. Have you mentioned or linked to those in any previous videos?

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Wes! A lot of folks ask us about our seat covers. We talked about them in a video where we answered some FAQs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH-ZhomshN1jlc0

[@wes2975]

Thank you, I appreciate the info.

[@oprwiz7813]

Wow. I did NOT know that about weighing. Great info!!! Thank you!!!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks William! We were surprised.

[@arkansastraveler7698]

We stayed in the park campground, didn't do the missile, since I had been in one while I was in the AF. My profile pic was taken at Ellsworth AFB

[@rvamericayall]

We really enjoyed the area.

[@aprilfensom6412]

Grammy Kay is a riot.

[@rvamericayall]

She cracks us up, April! 😁

[@rjahn3000]

All right now, time to change the name to RV USA Y'all:)

[@rvamericayall]

😁

[@tonylinkus4368]

where did your wife get the book she was stamping me and my are planning atrip to the badlands

[@rvamericayall]

Hi Tony! They sell the passport books at the National Parks bookstores.

[@ethelmertz434]

National Park stamps are fun to collect. Some National Parks have more than one stamp depending on which area or entrance you go to. There is a list of NP stamps available and where in each park they are available. Have fun!

[@CCaudits]

Hey, Tom. I thought you guys went to Mt. Rushmore? Isn't that in South Dakota?

[@rvamericayall]

Hi Ty! Yes it is. It will be in a future video. We’ll have several South Dakota videos. Lots to see there!

[@CCaudits]

@@rvamericayall I saw the video already were you guys drove down winding roads with a bunch of motorcycles passing you and you guys drove through some sort of tunnels.

[@rvamericayall]

Ty Hedman You’re right. We filmed those drives while we were at Custer State Park in South Dakota. We’ll have more videos on Custer, Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills coming up.

[@CCaudits]

@@rvamericayall What I was trying to get at Tom, and it's no big deal at the beginning of this video you say that you've never been in South Dakota. Am I missing something here?

[@rvamericayall]

@@CCaudits Ah gotcha Ty! We actually filmed today's footage before the Custer area video you saw before. We just decided to share the JeepCam videos early.

[@nautiquecowboynautiquecowb5317]

Who the baddest in the Badlands it be Texas y'all

[@rvamericayall]

LOL! 😂

[@rvtimetraveler]

Where do I get a Passport?

[@rvamericayall]

Hey Sheryl! They sell them at the National Parks.

[@rvtimetraveler]

RV Texas Y'all thanks!

[@n1uno1965]

Can wait to visit there myself in a few (4) years.

[@rvamericayall]

Awesome place with lots to see and do!
