Traveling South From Montana to Arizona

[@clickpicks5796]

I have probably seen all of your KZbin videos and this is absolutely the best one. I am a Christian and knew something was drawing me to watch you every week. Thank you for your service. Onward Christian Soldier(s). In Jesus’ name, Amen.

[@lorimiller3436]

What a beautiful thing you did it’s gestures like yours that renews my faith in humanity, God keep you and bless you❤️

[@MrNodig]

Hi from a wet England, re meeting Michael made me smile and reminded the only way to have peace and well being is to give it away, random acts of kindness begets kindness in the soul Peter

[@janemenebroeker1672]

Thank you for helping Michael love your videos enjoy the warmer weather!

[@VincenzoDeMarco-k3w]

Nice, and HAPPY NEW YEAR Again. It's good to know you are OUT of the frozen tundra for the time being. Montana will still be there. Hey, I know the route Y'all took driving south, I've done it twice once down and once up. I love the secondary roads as they offer much better viewing. I hope Quartzsite isn't too overwhelming with high winds or rain, but the Forecast doesn't show anything coming in. Enjoy ENJOY, and Have a Good Time. We Made It OUT of the last four years & This Year Will Shine On Us BIG TIME. God Bless.

[@OnTheOffRamp]

Thanks for sharing your story of meeting Michael. Lorraine and I always wonder how our actions reflect our faith to others. Glad to hear you're on the same journey. Hope to meet you guys one day. We'll be in Texas for February and March working with SOWER and then in Utah for April

[@quickeagle7308]

Thank you for sharing the story of your encounter with Michael. Keep sharing and blessing others

[@terrell48]

You never know what an act of kindness will do to steer someone in the right way but the blessings we receive as the giver makes us as much a receiver as the person receiving the hand up

[@MOTrav]

Best to you and Linda in 2025! You’re living a good life with adventure to boot.

[@henryanderson7606]

God bless you Rick, for helping the homeless man...what you said about planting seeds is so profound, God chipped away at me for years until one day when I was at my lowest, I quit resisting and my life completely changed...I only wish I had listened long ago! My life is great now! ....anyways love the videos and always look foreward to your adventures!!!

[@raktoda707]

What a gentle, kind Channel you two maintain.Good sights. Good tunes, great people. Long may you run

[@borandell9915]

Yes. Utah is very unique. Beautiful. As was your story. It's a powerful thing when God moves us to do kind things for reasons we do not know. It's also powerful to have the courage to share this powerful love publicly with complete strangers. It spreads the magic of it all. Priceless.

[@chrisc8856]

Happy New year Rick and Linda! I frequently pray I can see the Lord working which is a source of inspiration and my prayers were answered as I was watching this video! Special thanks for sharing the story behind the story!!

[@erichouser113]

You never know who or what you might run into out there. That man was a human being regardless of his circumstances and you honored that. I'm sure he appreciated your kindness.

[@kennethhope7458]

That was powerful Rick! Your kindness towards a suffering human being was truly divine intervention. The best part is your awareness that what you gave away was what you received. I have been following you and Linda for years and I want to thank you for all that you have given to me, and moreover, who you both are. 🙏

[@EdwardGomillion]

Rick, it's our responsibility to plant the seed. The Holy Spirit does the rest. Most of us don't listen or act when prompted. Blessings to you for following the call. Hopefully, you planted some seeds by telling the story as well.

[@sasquatch885]

Thank you for sharing the story about Michael. I’ll try to remember to pray for him.

[@martykong3592]

:) WOW ! Happy New Year and ALL the BEST to you, Family and friends ! ! THANK YOU for sharing, helping out Michael and GREAT Mexican food in WIckenburg : ) I still have a love of Motos in my blood, and YES have followed Calen and Nika of Joy Machine for some time too ! Cheers and ENJOY, safe travels ! ! ! : )

[@davidmanen5495]

Thank you for another beautiful video, but more importantly, your faith and sharing it. Cheers and safe travels

[@kevinholland4156]

I have always thought that when you give to others, you are not getting a payoff in the afterlife; it's that you have already been paid because of the feeling and mood it sets for you in the here and now.

[@sydneyvrana]

I’m here in a Quartzsite BLM since early December as a retired teacher from Montreal Quebec. I,m in a truck camper. It’d be an honour to meet you. Thank you for your wonderful informative KZbin videos I’ve followed for years. I came through from the north east through Kansas, Colorado and Utah late November and was at Moab and many national parks. Amazing.

[@cheryl9358]

Thank you for sharing your encounter with Michael. You were truly the hands and feet of Jesus, and perhaps you were entertaining an angel. I thank God for you and Linda and your channel. Onward Christian soldiers!

[@sharlenevowels4125]

We will meet you one day. We are on state land in wickenburg now! FYI park across the street at Good will to shop safeway.

[@debbiefiddler208]

When we follow Gods prompting we are assured we are his child. When we do those acts of kindness we feel Gods love. Thank you for sharing. Always enjoy your videos. ❤. Debbie from Georgia 🇺🇸

[@freeandhappy8562]

Glad to see you back on the road! Beautiful countryside there in Utah! Nice to hear that the new truck is working out for you. Inspirational story regarding Michael. Never ignore those feelings that the Almighty plants in your heart! Thanks for the Joymachine tip. That looked like some excellent Mexican food there in Wickenburg. Nice to see you back in Quartzsite again. Thanks for taking us along and Be Blessed!

[@SamuraiMama]

Happy Aloha Friday, Mom and Dad! Love yous!

[@gonagain]

Love you too and miss you!

[@carolynparral8434]

Wonderful video ... !!! God Bless ... Happy New year 🎉 !!!

[@cindysonger1210]

Thanks so much for sharing your stories, Rick. You brought both my husband and I to tears with your story about the homeless man, Michael. Thank you for sharing the love of Jesus. Hoping you and Linda have a blessed new year.

[@ScottHenion]

Good to see you two back on the road again.

[@wendywallace1528]

Wow, your story just touched my heart so deep.. you never know when you may encounter an Angel. When you said his name was Michael, I thought instantly of the Arch Angel Michael. You are a good man with a beautiful ❤️ God bless you and Linda in 2025 and beyond. Thank you for sharing your story of Michael.

[@stevertherver3887]

I knew that you were a special human being when I watched my first Gonagain video. Safe travels in 2025!

[@ButterflyKisses.]

I will certainly add Michael to my prayer list and also the name of your channel Perry God the father knows exactly who I be talking about.😊 But to my knowledge of who I watch every day you are probably the first outward Christian traveler / nomad that I ever came across it's going to be a great pleasure to watch your videos.😊✝️

[@Go4Corvette]

When I was still living in my apartment many of my younger neighbors seemed to be very depressed and it was hard for me to understand because I was always a go getter. For many I could see that drugs were the main problem. I took one couple who I could see were trying to better themselves and started helping them to learn new skills to better their lives. I showed them how to sell there hobby items online and gave them equipment I no longer needed plus a little cash. Now they seem to be doing much better. The schools are not teaching life skills that our kids need. 😢

[@ToddOutdoor]

I always said to myself , self these are good people! I appreciate you two for being you. Safe travels and God bless you for listening to that voice.

[@owenrae]

So appreciate the story you told about your encounter with Michael. If more people who claim a faith in Jesus would act more like Him..., thanks for the example to all of us with that faith.

[@beberle9641]

Happy New Year Rick and Linda. Your friend from Colorado Brian 🦅🤠 Hobo Shoestring I feel is with you in your travels😎

[@cherylmello3435]

Your story of Michael touched my heart. You are a beautiful human.

[@ex-engineer6657]

Thanks again, love you guys. One plants another waters, and the harvest is the Lord's. Keep up the good work. 😊 Mahalo nui.

[@boblock7588]

Hi Rick ,,everything you said with the story about Mike ,,is so True..🙏👌 As always love listening to you and Linda

[@Lapeerphoto]

Thank you for blessing this homeless man. You have an admirable way of sharing the love of Jesus. I pray for the seed you planted!

[@carolmaplesden916]

🙏

[@johnleach740]

Be sure to check out the Pit Stop for propane and water. Easy in and out.

[@rx7engines]

You guys always put a smile on my face.

[@sheilawhite8628]

Great video, beautiful scenery and heartfelt messages. Love this channel! Keep going, enjoying and sharing Happy New Year

[@Go4Corvette]

Have a great trip. I'll be in Quartzsite for a few more weeks. Going to the RTR and RV show. Take care, Mike 😊 I'll keep an eye out for you guys.

[@douglaswhite1306]

Love what you did with Michael. God bless you both. Speaking the name of Jesus these days is too often scorned. Even if you lose subscribers, you'll be greatly rewarded in the end. 😢😮😂😊

[@jeffv7726]

Nice video starting at 17:00,Linda is such a daredevil getting back there on the bike like that!

[@jannyholm8630]

well, whatdaya know? i've been listening to you guys for years, and just now find out you're from mountain view. i grew up in san carlos. my youngest daughter was born in mountain view. we've been in the salt lake city area for the last 22 years. i bet you're as glad as we are that we left california. it sure has changed. love watching your channel. we don't travel much anymore, but we sure do enjoy sharing in your travels. god bless you for helping the hobo you met. god always sends just the right person to help those in need. you and linda are the best. thank you so much for your videos. we feel like you're some of our good friends.

[@googa3834]

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers..for thereby some have entertained angels unawares!! Hebrews 13:2. God bless you 🙏🏼

[@johnnicolini2562]

I’ve always thought you were a good man . And the story just proved me right nice to see this kind of thing in the world today give me a little fath❤

[@jimnjele.bean-dayone3505]

Michael is a true blessing sir. Quartzsite is great, currently at hi jolly. Waiting for RTR...hope to meet you and Ms Linda...thanks for sharing

[@deeanderson5670]

Happy New Year, Rick and Linda. You're not missing anything at home. Just normal Montana weather. Be safe.

[@catherinekahle3897]

What a beautiful story! God Bless you and Linda eternally!!! Thank you Rick.

[@johnr8439]

Bless you Rick. All believers are disciples of Jesus. Well done good and faithful servant.

[@jodyseaman1885]

Such a touching story about Michael. There is a Inn n out burger in Lake Havasu. Used to go there and shop at Walmart. It's farther than Parker but such a pretty drive. Happy New Year to you and Linda.

[@danfinn4027]

Beautiful story about the kind man Rick. We live in N/W AZ now and have never stayed in Quartzite. Wife told me she would rather travel in summer to escape the heat. We're from Sandpoint ID. We plan to check out the big tent this winter. VERY NICE VIDEO!!

[@jmichael6323]

One word: BEAUTIFUL!

[@oldpap1401]

So glad to see y'all on the road again! Loved the jazzy music while riding through Utah.

[@ROLLMEAWAY]

You hit all my favorite places. I'm getting the wanderlust up and will hit the road west from NC early February after a doctor visit. I've stayed in Wickenburg before and enjoyed the town very much. Don't know if I'll make it to Quartzsite but plan to explore lots of the southwest that I haven't seen or haven't seen in 20 years! Good for you to follow that lead, if we all listened to that gut feeling, our lives would be better!

[@Volunteersunrise]

Happy New Year Rick and Linda. I envy your travel to Quartzite. Wont get to be there this year but looking forward to traveling thru Montana , Idaho and Wyoming. This is the year we go to Banff when spring arrives. Be safe have fun and thank you for blessing Michael. You are in our prayers.

[@jeffreykropp7664]

Very inspiring, Rick.

[@wandermt4315]

Wish you and Linda and families the best in the new year and hope to take a trail ride with you this summer. And, this video was especially good, thanks!

[@GraceCook-g1l]

Hi guys from frozen CT. Happy New Year! So nice to see your video. Really like that new to you pickup. That's really snazzy. How's the gas mileage? Your story of Michael brought me to tears. So many times we have the opportunity to help others and pass them by. But like the Good Samaritan in Jesus' parable you stopped. Have always liked your and Linda's videos bcuz of your personalities. Now I know why. Take care you two and God bless. Sure Michael really got more than you'll ever know. Being poisoned by your spouse is the ultimate betrayal. He must be in a lot of pain. A kind act and a friendly chat with another human being must have been more of a blessing than you could ever know. Love from CT

[@SierraVansandOffRoad]

Something about this video was extra special. We will check out the joymachine channel too. Before Van camping, we spent many years camping and traveling on motorcycles. Saw your mailing address in the notes. We just lost a family member in Great Falls last week. Glenn Osborne was the Sheriff of Cascade County for many years. Such a wonderful man.

[@HereComesTheSunLittleDarlin]

It looks like you found a good spot to get some rest for the night. I really appreciate you explaining what draws you and others to Quartzite and what it’s like. I hear so much about it on the RV KZbin channels but haven’t really understood all of the various reasons someone would want to stay there. I usually hear that it’s really only good for the tent show but clearly people are there for longer than just the annual tent show. You make sense. Have fun and stay safe out there. I am a subscriber and love your personalities and content.

[@bubbecdubie]

Nice video, So glad to see you out traveling and enjoying your new truck and motorcycle. Be safe...be careful, and have fun.

[@Nomadiccamping]

I have been watching Shoestring ( may he rest in peace ) Stobe ( may he rest in peace and Jaw Tooth . I think we all have that spirit of adventure and wish we could do it. Some of us are rail tramps ,some are rubber tramps, and some are just home bodies. I do everything I can to make sure i dont spend hours in a chair . It is amazing what you can do with a 360 degree camera. Gotta go hiking because we just got 3 inches of new snow. Good video Rick and Linda 14:39

[@driveabout1world872]

Great to see you on the move. Can’t make Quartzite this year. Everyone has a story. Stay safe, well and positive.

[@mickeytaylor7126]

We are always blessed when we obey the Holy Spirits prompting . You were helping Michael carry his burden. Listening to his story was important- humans need others. God give you Devine appointments as you travel!

[@moonface1ful]

yall r awesome! beautiful country, i live in Nv.

[@applesbighatranch6906]

Happy New Year, R&L! This was a very nice video, and for it's mellow, thoughtful tone and picturesque imagery. And, to christen your 2025 Travels! Alas, I am chipping away on my rig, I hope to be out there in February, on a course to PIE and some good company, however brief, before I continue on. My first trip or two camping in my trailer will have to be shorter trips up to two weeks at a time, for the time being. Cheers!

[@Hobo_Juanito]

Hey ya'll it's JW. I talked with ya'll at the walmart in GF. I decided to winter in South Alabama this year so I won't be at the Q. Glad ya'll had a safe trip! God bless and let his light shine!!

[@itsthebruchs]

Thanks for your witness, and obedience to the Spirit. BTW...you drove near our house when you went to Wickenburg. Happy New Year!

[@glennpackert1725]

that little quip just hit the spot. tnx

[@bobmirror7164]

Great little motorbike. That makes camping fun.

[@DianaKirby3]

My husband and I loved your story about Michael. We live on the Western Slope of Colorado, not far from Grand Junction and Moab. We’ve camped and explored on that old highway along our Colorado River. My friends Mark and Paula have a KZbin channel @Switching Gears RV Diary. They will be in Quartzsite in a few weeks and we’ll join them in Parker, AZ the first part of February then to Alamo Lake the 10th of Feb. We’ll keep an eye out for you to say hi. We are like minded people. Oh we love Wickenburg. That’ll be our first stop when we get to AZ.

[@stevec2665]

I loved Monument Valley when i was there, look forward to one of your videos from that area.

[@lesterpeters1504]

thanks for sharing the story of Michael it touched more peop[e than you know.

[@robinwillson7838]

May He bless you and keep you both!! Such a touching video and gorgeous views. Thank you for blessing us too. (We listen to Jesus too.)

[@zoik2420]

Thanks!

[@cotter9751]

You drove through some stunning landscape! I'll be visiting Quartzite for the first time - looking forward to it.

[@hangflyer907]

You're correct about Quartzsite being a lifestyle. My first introduction to the area was Quartzfest (a ham radio gathering) during COVID. It's a great place to just hang-out and enjoy the desert. This year's Quartzfest is Jan. 19 - 25. I wish I were attending this year so that I could try to look you and Linda up. Great video!

[@goodcitizen1611]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

[@bertkelly7650]

Bless you, Rick!

[@taj-ma-haul9094]

Like# 9 - Southern Utah! It’s cold down here, but warm for a Montanan… Upper 30’s overnight!

[@taj-ma-haul9094]

I finally got the Notification!

[@taj-ma-haul9094]

How did you get to Wickenburg from Black Canyon? Or why? If you would’ve gone through Prescott you could’ve gotten your In & Out and had a direct path to Quartzite down 60. Just curious as that’s an odd path.

[@buckshot4428]

Blessings to you and your family. Regarding your truck I would like let you know that the transmission has a thermostat that keeps the temp at 198 and above. For $50. you can buy a Superior Products thermostat that will lower your temps to make your tranny last longer and longer fluid change intervals. Also you need a afm/dod delete which plugs into your obt port to keep your v-8 running smooth on all 8 cylinders. You can also keep the engine from going in afm by shifting manually and not going into 6th gear. These are the 2 most important things I have learned and done to my 14 Silverado. Take care and God bless, Ken

[@Tootsie74]

Happy New Year you two! Loved your story about Michael. I've been to a lot of places out West but never that particular route. Never driven thru Monument Valley but always wanted to. Maybe someday. 😊 (I'm from Ohio and used to winter in Arizona)Anyway, I love you two and loved your video!

[@jaystewart9947]

Hoping you guys don’t get the “Q” sickness going on around there right now. Some sort of flu strain I guess. Great story of your witness to Michael. Sounds like a blessing all the way around.

[@rogertemple7193]

Hey Rick and Linda Happy New Year 2025 nice to see you and great to see your trips from Montana to Arizona and other states in between this is really very beautiful scenery here take care and stay safe out there on the road thank you and have a great 2025.🚐☕🛻🇺🇲

[@donglover2499]

Thanks Rick, this is one of your best episodes. My Linda and I, always thought that your faith was in Jesus, it shows through in the little things. Don and Linda.

[@smc65714]

Glad to see you "Out of the Cold"zone,heading South.

[@1954shadow]

You know, your story of Michael, maybe it had been a long time since he was reminded of Jesus, you probably have sparked a flame that hadn’t been lit in a long time, it is bound to warm his soul, good works, brother.

[@debracampbell5151]

It is truly more blessed to give than to receive. We get such a warm, affirming feeling from Jesus when we treat people as He did. Doesn’t He say, “When you do this (feed, clothe, visit in prison) to the least of these, you do it unto me.” Thank you for following your heart.

[@wandacraig8286]

Just stunning!!! I love that area of Utah! And seeing that shot of white lace snow on those beautifully carved mountains took my breath away! If I could I would live there. I'm so glad the two of you get to make this trip!! Oh, and about Mexican food, that has been the biggest loss to me since we moved to Montana. Having lived many years in New Mexico I was very spoiled to the best Mexican food there is. Up here it just isn't the same. Several years ago a friend sent me two boxes of fresh picked Hatch green chilli and I roasted all day and bagged and froze them. That was awesome. Anyway, this video was very special in many ways, and I wish you both the very best New Year full of good health and blessings🙏❤️

[@cvx2dog549]

Beautiful country!

[@3generations393]

Amen. Thank you for blessing Micheal. May God bless us all 🙏🙏❣️
