Arguably one of the best travel channels on KZbin, from one of the best personalities. Look forward to the next video!

[@sandrap3047]

My uncle lived in Fairbanks for over 30 yrs. He now lives in Palm Springs, California. From the ice cold to the hot desert. Thanks for showing me where my uncle lived for so long!

[@grampi68]

If he lived there in the 70's, I might know him. What's his name?

[@Wildman-zh8lg]

Sad

[@ernestconnell8087]

Alaska, cool 😎

[@edinelsonramirez5656]

That '57 Chevy had the earliest metallic paint color available at the time, for Chevy. . . just sayin'! As a kid, it was my favorite color for new '57 Chevy!

[@thehighlanders607]

Yeah Robert, the 1957 Chevy Bel Air is a beautiful work of art. A true classic!

[@FoolishPrankster]

A good movie about Alaska and dealing with the midnite sun is "Insomnia', Al Pacino and Robin Williams, great thriller.

[@spunkycat6144]

Happy Birthday, Mrs Travelling Robert. 🎉

[@TheMsKay65]

Hello 👋🏽 Robert and Lily. Happy Birthday Lily 🎉🎁🎂🥳❤️🙏🏽 Enjoy!!!!

Ρόμπερτ! Πάντα ψυχαγωγείς, ενημερώνεις και ποτέ δεν απογοητεύεις!

[@jeannestark6293]

My aunt Joan and uncle Rodney from my dad side lived up there for years and years and years! I’m glad you got up there cause I’ve heard stories! I have a picture of my uncle Rodney hunting

[@imagseer]

This one was worth waiting for. Fairbanks looks like a great place in mid-Summer.

[@rlucerin28]

Those pipes are called "utilidors". They are used for ventilation of different utilities... like, communications cables, gas lines and there's also got water pipes running before to help businesses for heating. All these utilities are routed above the permafrost.

[@angelacarreiro6928]

Great video as always! It’s nice seeing more of Illy in this video!

Pioneer Park was Best! You do need that old wood chipper truck.. What a great video!

[@sedp8710]

Sadly the original Masonic Temple burnt down a number of years ago. I grew up there in Fairbanks and North Pole. I also used to go to that Masonic Temple for DeMolay, which is a Masonic youth fraternity. I miss my home town after watching this video, it’s been about 8 years since I’ve been home.

[@janinehostynek4732]

Awww, antique cars, my husband, Philip, his favorite is 56 Belaire 2 door sedan, he had one back in the 70's, but not no more. It was bronze & cream.

[@ShawnPatterson402]

Your trip just keeps on looking amazing. Keep up the great work, and as always safe travels....on your return from Hershey, or wherever you are heading next.

[@khunopie9159]

Alaskan place that sells ham and cheese sandwiches and rum and lime-soda cocktails... AKA a Cuban Restaurant LET'S GOOOOOO!

[@jens.9155]

❤

[@kenwardgriffinjr79]

Enjoyed the video. I was in Fairbanks with my family at the same time as you were. We only had Thursday in town and spent the moving waking down and visiting the Morris Thompson center and the afternoon on the riverboat saw the Trail Breaker Kennel from the boat and visited the Chean Villag. We also stayed at the Bridge Water we had dinner at Bobby's Downtown.

[@dalemarshall9736]

Enjoyed our stay in 1999 when it was Riverview Campground. A few miles outside of Fairbanks we visited the NOAA weather station where they have huge satellite dishes to pick up weather data from the overhead satellites (the other being in VA)

[@Bob-WannabeRVr]

Oh! The one I’ve been waiting for ⚾️! Just starting to watch it but it’s already The Northern Most Coolest KZbin Video I’ve every seen 🥶⬆️

[@briancarr31]

It never fails. You wash your truck, and it rains.

[@TerryB751]

Great travelogue. Love the ice martini glass, very inventive. Have to keep the walking and exercise to burn off all those calories. Too much good food.

[@B33333]

Hi Robert! Hopefully you love Fairbanks, AK I used to live in Fairbanks for 9 years now I move back California but will be moving to Miami soon

[@TravelingRobert]

I really like Fairbanks

[@patricescattolin43]

I recommend you try your hand at winter and snow somewhere warmer than Alaska first. Temps below freezing are very dangerous if you are I'll prepared and Alaska should be about as harsh as it gets. They haven't had heater blocks in populated areas of eastern Canada for a while but that they still have them on the street in Alaska speak volume. Not to mention driving in snow to say nothing of towing on icy roads. Because tractor trailer operate year around in Canada, it's totally doable but it's a skill that needs to be learned. If Winnibago has winterised trailers, that would be a good choice for the next Minitini for a winter trip upstate NY (Lake Placid) or ski resorts in Vermont or Colorado. That would be a good start and open all sorts of new trips and stories which I think would make for nice videos. There definitely is a reason you hear of snowbirds but never of northern flamingos. Note: when chasing leaves in Vermont you hit yourself against tourist industry closed for the season. You would run into more of this in snowy winter lands.

[@kimmy1984]

Good Morning 👋🏾

[@ronaldhicks5320]

Enjoyed the air museum tour. Would love to see your take on the Air Force museum in Dayton Ohio

[@InspireMe10x]

Beautiful but extreme weather. Must be difficult to live there on a daily basis

[@maxineoliver7404]

Ooops! I meant, "The Midnight Sun🌞 Festival"!🤭

[@TheUglyGnome]

Moving dishes are probably tracking weather satellites on polar orbits.

[@brenmcgaha9483]

I WENT TO DENALI SEPTEMBER. BUT NEVER MADE IT TO FAIRBANKS. I WOULD LOVE TO DO COCHENA HOT SPRINGS WITH AUROAS OVERHEAD

[@edwinrouse511]

Went to 6:19 Fairbanks with you Robert seen the North Pole thank you ever be able to tour Hawaii Robert later buddy ?

[@RM-of3bo]

Dude, you missed out on the best BBQ. Next time, you’ll want to go to Frozen Smoke BBQ in the Lat65 brewery.

[@ezthriver3025]

Oh how I remember Chena Hot Springs. I am the only Florida girl that has broken her leg on a dog sled ride there. I love Fairbanks.

[@clarkadams9845]

The Alaska Railroad was built originally and then operated by the US Military until the 70s'. We have gone out to dinner at Big Daddy's over many visits but of late the service and servings have gone down. The food is still good but there is less of it.
