[@kc360awareness]

Thank you for always guiding my vacations Traveling Robert you’re a travelers helper!

[@waynesmiling]

Thanks so much for another great video. My wife and I are older. We are no longer able to go for long hikes or long drives. Your video today was better being there for us.

[@almamorales4158]

Traveling to the West always have a charm......beautiful places........What beautiful and strange clouds.......What a charming and mysterious desert......beautiful video.....Congrats.... I see you on the road......Love MOM...>>>

[@mickster1780]

that White Sands park looks really awesome. i must go there!

[@jptwon]

Robert, I just arrived in Alamogordo today. Parked at the KOA and turned on your latest video you just posted 13 hours ago! We are following your tract. Came up through Texas, stayed at Brantley Lake State Park and went to Carlsbad Caverns yesterday and going to White Sands tomorrow. We have a 2023 Winnebago 2108TB. You influenced our purchase. We are normally in South Florida this time of year but Hurricane Ian kept us out of our home for now. We decided to try a RV road trip for a couple months. Headed to Arizona and California. We will keep following you, just now a month later. Keep traveling! Thanks!

[@hoosier_daddy65]

Do you make it into a King size bed? i'm thinking that model just for that alone .. i need my space ....

[@crossroadsrvtravels]

Thanks for taken us along with you!! Really enjoyed it..

[@dorarobledo4098]

Hola mi nieto de 8 años y yo nos encantan ver tus videos saludes desde Glendal Arizona 🙏🏻

[@gi169]

Thank you Mr. Robert; I, truly, enjoy your videos. 👍👍🍻

[@1970boobear]

When Traveling Robert uploads you know it's going to be a "Goooooood Morning!!" Many thanks & cheers 👍😍

[@Travelmaryandblue]

So fun to watch as always. That little tomb is so cool, sometimes it’s the simplest things that make your day.

[@nanapam1267]

What beautiful places! Hope to visit one day but if not at least we got to see through your camera lens. Thanks for sharing your travels with us. Hope you and Illy are recovering well.

[@11LK]

You drive, you navigate, you cook. You do everything. Must be very nice to travel with you. I love your videos.

[@LeslinAdventures]

We made it to white sands national park 2yrs ago Such a majestic place. Thank you for sharing Robert

[@theathjr]

Robert I love your music in your video’s. I find myself singing along each time. You are very talented. Thank you for taking us along for the adventure. Hi Elianna (spelling?)

[@debbiewerner7124]

The food looked so good. Great cook. Caverns we’re fascinating. ❤

[@doiduocsy]

Live life to the fullest because life is so short 👍👍

[@donnay1]

The White Sands are amazing! Good thing you have your Garmin as looks easy to get off trail and get lost.

[@dottydot8058]

awsome white sand

[@joeadame6527]

Yo Robert!! If you had kept going straight West from Lubbock on 114 you would have come to my hometown of Levelland. But welcome to my part of the world! Glad you came by!

[@SlightlyLoco]

Robert, anytime you are in West Texas again you should consider visiting Palo Duro Canyon and Caprock Canyon state parks. They are pretty close to each other and offer camping and easy to moderate hiking trails. I recommend the light house trail at palo duro and the john haynes ridge overlook trail to the fern cave at caprock canyon. They are arguably both in the top 3 of all state parks in Texas. True gems, I have been out there more times than I can count.

[@jackchen938]

I had been there around 20 years ago. I love the west TX.

[@loneapple440]

Beautiful traveling video Sir Robert!

[@carolosorio7829]

hello Sir Robert,i saw this vlog,its nice to see those place,part of the U.S.A..its,amazing😁goodluck! godbless! watching,from davao city,philippines...

[@cindyg8695]

Great video! Really like the white sands. It almost looked like another planet. Really cool!

[@dajacksonful]

Awesome!! Love your traveling videos!!

[@dodgeguyz]

Thank you for another great video!

[@nohoracadena8193]

Excellent job!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@albertescovedo6386]

Thanks for the trip. Loved it. It’s like in Gilbert Gil’s Gila.

[@Cue881]

Great video Robert! Thank You!

[@marilynmartin8417]

Hello from Ft Worth, Tx. Just found you on television from 2019 so I looked you up on KZbin. Love your videos. BTW there is an awesome sight in Groom, Tx of the Stations of the Cross. Great place to stop if you ever go on Interstate40 and historic Route 66.

[@debbiematechuck2998]

Yes Robert love the scenery tu for sharing

[@williamscoggin1509]

Greeting from a born-and-raised texting. Be glad the wind isn't coming from the side or you might be changing lanes without wanting to. 👀🤣

[@juliahunt456]

Yes, Palo Duro Canyon is a must see😊

[@VenusSantaCruz]

Love the soundtrack 😊🎉

[@LGessner]

Carlsbad is always a treat and renewed a memory from years ago... but there are no words to express the feeling you aroused at the White Sands. It was spectacular and despite your Garmin, I worried about your safe passage, seeing through your eyes another world. It was truly awesome. On another topic, I wanted to shout to you - "please watch your step..... I know what happens after you get to the campground. Glad you are in your home state and both of you can tend to wellness.

[@ginsengman56]

Don't miss the Sunset Stroll with ranger at White Sands...very amazing!!

[@TexasPegP]

I love every adventure/video, but Traveling to the West is always my favorite!! ❤ amazingly I have been to many of the places you went through when I was a kid on summer vacations with my family. Good times! Love the landscape!!

[@laurietosh3521]

Just wanted to remind everyone Carlsbad caverns is still on a reservation system. Great video Robert hope your foot heals quickly.

[@michaelrains2268]

Enjoyed the video sooooo much !

[@TruthAndLight4995]

AH-MAZING!!! It looked like you were walking through powdered milk!! Thanks for another great journey! 👍🏼❤️

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

In May of 2018, we got locked down in the Visitor Center of Carlsbad Caverns due to a tornado warning. It's a pretty impressive cave! Also, White Sands is just a magical place to visit. We had a really good time there!

[@dylanreynolds8264]

is nice to seea new season of videos robert

[@dramaqueen3306]

I always like it when you are "driving to the west in your RV" Loved seeing all of the small Texas towns, and of course the replica of a Jesus's tomb. White Sands looks amazing, hope to go there in the near future. By the way, when you reach Arizona do yourself a favor and do not go for a hike!

[@ViviDanceStudio]

I enjoy watching your video

[@exploringcoasttocoast0203]

Since you said you would be returning... here are a couple more things in the Cloudcroft area.... In the 1980s I went to an Apple Festival in October in High Rolls, (I see they have a cherry festival in June), and there's National Solar Observatory and Sacramento Peak in Sunspot NM, 3010 Coronal Loop, Sunspot, NM . Either up there or somewhere along the way I remember being high enough to look out and see White Sands in the distance.

[@edwarddoran6689]

Great episode. Love taking the backroads while on road trips. From Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

[@ShawnPatterson402]

another excellent episode. Some amazing scenery in that part of the continent for sure. I guess you are bound to see some snow when driving by ski resorts in January....Quite the ride. As always, safe travels.....good to hear that you made it safely back to Florida.

[@jackchen938]

Love you...

[@Enjoyrving]

Very good episode. I’m enjoying the cooking segments….the fish looked good!

[@laurafoote214]

Awesome video, I never would have made it through the white sands hike. But so beautiful, something about the west that is so pretty, thank you for sharing 🙂

[@EarthTrips]

That sand is beautiful! Reminds me of the beach sand here @ PCB Florida. Good luck with the weather! Great Video!

[@rudewear814u]

what a great video, you are so cool! Thanks for sharing, I loved it all!

[@stephenenders2066]

i take back roads to spice things up too.. it really is amazing what you can find by going alternate routes in life.

[@MrPunky1]

great job

[@mreppen1]

This is why I watch you on KZbin

[@dawg7915]

Lived and worked at the Airforce base there at Alamogordo for a few years..... you're lucky your wheels weren't stolen off your truck while parked there at Walmart. My Cuban Wife hated living there for a number of reasons. Sand storms and swamp coolers being 2 of them. great video as always.

[@Twobarpsi]

Love that backroad trip through Texas! Towing in the snow is very risky too 😮!

[@beckysonnier6369]

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@swansodi]

I really enjoyed that. I grew up in Southern NM and enjoyed seeing it again. I am not even sure how many times I went though the Carlsbad Caverns. I agree with you on White Sands, it is unbelievable... Thanks for the great video!

[@joycemosakowski3648]

I've never been to Texas or New Mexico, but N.M. is outstanding. Yes the white sands does reminds me of the white sand beaches in Florida. Love watching your cooking shows too. Looks like you two are on a keto diet. Wonderful caverns.

[@tsf5-productions]

Robert - My wife and I have throughly enjoyed the whole traveling series you've made with your wife. This West series of January 2023 while in New Mexico at the famed Carlsbad Caverns brings in a memory of "trivia" if you will, the Hollywood film sc-fi classic of French novelist, Jules Verne: "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1959), that starred the late British actor, James Mason; a young 20 something singer/actor, Pat Boone. Also beautiful European actress, Arlene Dahl. That movie is one of my favorites that was filmed alot at Carlsbad. I have the GoPro 9 camera and the "Media-Mod" and many attachments to carry the camera. The white sands on your travel - Is it "Lawrence of Arabia" ? ... another top favorite of mine? Maybe one of Eastwood's famous " Spaghetti Westerns" like " The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" [1966] ("...and so Blonde, it's goodbye.") lol! We sure hope you and the Mrs. heal quickly and get back on the road. Oh...love the newer music you added in last year.

[@elmandalorian6671]

Excellent video 📹 of the cavern! Beautiful place to visit.

[@SplurgeFrugal]

Love the White Sands footage! Wishing you and Illy a speedy recovery!

[@jamesspikes3786]

Loved this video Robert . I love everything out west

[@FarrahFerris]

Cool Trip Robert! Looking forward to ur next video!

[@chrisreeves8037]

Excellent sunset off I-10, due south of Carlsbad is Van Horn/Kent TX. Exit at Kent, drive 30 . up the mtn. to McDonalds Observatory next 15 min. to Ft Davis Natl. Park, then Alpine, and finally 2 hr drive to Del Rio TX. Park your RV at Governors Point, a high spot next to the lake, and along side the railroad bridge then watch the sun set through and beneath the bridge and glassy waters of Amistad Lake.

[@cormacsage7126]

We took I10 to California. New Mexico has awesome Syfy feeling landscape

[@eltinygarcia7358]

Hey Lubbock Texas,you should came thru Plainview too!!

[@russellclark3905]

Carlsbad Caverns was wonderful We stayed 3 days in a Campground just off the main highway

[@russellclark3905]

We were able to stay for the evening flight of bat's and at that point I was able to walk down to the bottom then take the elevator back up

[@russellclark3905]

How's the leg , I feel your pain I had a twist fracture in My tiba 3 months in a cast.

[@kevinsmith3782]

Hi Robert. I am going to trace your foot steps in April. Will be going Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands then head to Tucson for a couple of days. Hoping it won’t be to hot at that time.

[@markshelhart8338]

Great video as always. Always admire your bravery, but driving in the ice towing a trailer may have been a little too brave; but glad you pulled it off. I watch a towing YTer in the Smokies (Everything Autos) and he's pulling 4WD trucks off the sides of roads in icy weather all the time.

[@1951Roy]

White sands was my playground growing up. Would do day trips to Cloudcroft then down to white sands. Yes Gila is pronounced the spanish way. Thanks for the great video, I didn't know there was overnight parking at Walmart in Almo. Happy trails

[@lisbethseeley3121]

Lived in Cloudcroft 7 yrs, you missed a lot. Burro Street, The Lodge. They have many art shows during the summertime. Sugar Pine RV park. Campgrounds, one free one. Summer temps in the 70's.

[@lisbethseeley3121]

@Traveling_Robert how do I access

[@henryi9738]

Dear Robert, while in Quartzite , I hope you meet Russ from RVerTV on KZbin. He's a great guy , just like you ! 😃😀

[@jermiwashington4894]

If I may suggest a place to visit in Texas. It would be to explore the Hill Country of Texas more. I’m from Marble Falls Texas and it is beautiful there. The Hill Country of Texas definitely deserves more of a look. Do your research, I’m sure you would be welcomed and treated right.

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

What an awesome video Robert thank you so much for sharing, and I'm glad to see someone else realizes that rice is nothing but a carb and it's honestly not very good for anyone.

[@karendevries8219]

Watching. Think I'd be topping gas off every gas station!

[@Yawndave]

As they say in Texas, howdy partner! It's a good way to start Sunday morning...driving to the west with you again. I don't know if you took the natural entrance to Carlsbad Cavern on your other visit, but walking down the switchbacks into the "twilight zone" with the cave swallows chittering and flying all around it is one of my absolute favorite national park experiences. At the cooking segment that starts at 27:40--is that the knife that attacked Ily? The scenery on the Alkali Flats trail is fantastic...good to see you remembered your hiking shoes🙂 (They look like Merrill Moabs--good shoes, I have a couple of pairs myself) See you on Friday...happy trails!

[@TravelingRobert]

Next time I'll take the natural entrance.

[@stevenhoag69]

Good show, I watched it twice, I have spring fever and I'm ready to hit the road!

[@KelleyTexas]

Great video! Now wishing that I had stopped at White Sands on my way to Tucson a couple of weeks ago. When you stayed in Brownfield, did you see that it is the grape capital of Texas? I toured a vineyard there (Farmhouse). Excellent wines made there.

[@billybowling5194]

This is one of the best, if not the best, travel youtube channels. My wife and I work out 9 to 5s or 4 to 430 like me just to come home and watch Robert do what he does. We are still on the back episodes. I have a suggestion, Robert. I don't think you have been to the Breaks Interstate Park on the VA Ky state line. They call it the Grand Canyon of the East . I used to live there before leaving 6 years ago to louisville due to employment issues because they shut down all the coal mines! Anyway I think you will enjoy it. Thanks Billy & Melissa

[@TravelingRobert]

Maybe later this year

[@virginiamueller267]

Just same ol same ol same ol!!!

[@ericmoody4740]

Goooooood morning!

[@raoufny5123]

Hello , I'm really fan of what you do , the only problem for me is the repeating of the song "driving to the west into the sunset" many times ، it's a little bit disturbing, thank you

[@aniassantiago6445]

WHAT? that's the best part

[@billcarolstravelproject]

I am watching your video now. You drove right through the town that I live in. If only I had known, you could've camped here at our place. Safe travels.

[@bertkelly7650]

You are about as far away from Quartzite from Miami as I am from Harrisburg PA. Driving into the sunset. ; - )

[@jerryconnell3797]

Robert love your videos hope you are doing better I am saying again you need to visted Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan when you are heathy again!

[@TheMsKay65]

Hey Robert, you must visit the Thing in Arizona. It's quite interesting, check it out 👍🏼

[@rickfraher1724]

Been watching since 10k subscribers. You need to visit Fredericksburg TX. It’s the Napa Valley of TX.

[@TravelingRobert]

We were there briefly in 2019 but we must return

[@andyschrant3312]

great episode Robert

[@karendevries8219]

Good morning 🌅 Hope you are safely home!

[@richsilvasatx]

Enjoy watching your videos. If in an area I’m interested in, also grab my iPad and turn on google maps to follow your journey. You were close to my home in your San Antonio video. You are welcomed next time.

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Traveling Robert😊😊🎷🎷🎸🎸🎸🍦🍦🍕🍕🍕🍗🍗🍗🍟🍟🍟, HELLO Traveling Robert! Texas was great but I really enjoyed Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands National Park...THAT PLACE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD...INCREDIBLE!!! Outstanding Robert👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!

[@martywood3588]

It's pronounced he-la bend . enjoying you trip through your lense

[@DG_ontheroad]

Robert, thank you very much for this video, it is an excellent, beautiful place and all the experiences together, as always, an excellent job.👍👍👍👌👌DG from Fort Lauderdale Fl

[@joecanis484]

Do you prefer your half-ton truck over you former mid-size chevy Colorado? The new Colorado will tow 7,700 pounds.

[@TravelingRobert]

I do except in tight spaces in cities.

[@tonygareth221]

Ro-Mo! I love the desert! AZ and NM. I e not heard good things about NM but I like it, plus I can get to CO and AZ easily. Cheaper to live too. I’m looking at places in south AZ. I work for airline, not a lot of money, but really thinking of leaving Texas. I’m from CA but have been in TX almost 20 years. I love mountains and ocean, but there’s something about the desert! I know you like it too. What are some desert places you’d consider living??

[@TravelingRobert]

I like the high desert in Arizona

[@francisebbecke2727]

Texas roadside parks have a 24 hour time limit so you can stay the night. I understand New Mexico has the same rule.
