Off road is where the spectacular scenery, and much of the adventure resides.

[@janetkeane9781]

Yes, agree with below, sometimes those trees are trail makers made on purpose. I live here in this gorgeous place - was just having wonderful NY style pizza on the square in Dahlonega last night. Originally a NYer, I know real pizza when I can fold it before eating it. We’ve lived in New York, New Mexico, but now in the Dahlonega area for 33 years. Yes, retire here! Can’t recommend it highly enough! The most perfect place to call home’. Some much more to do and see here. RV friendly and friendliest people in the world. Blue Ridge Mointains life!

“Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas.”

[@hummer4u2nv11]

Robert, I agree with you about how nice it is to see the Fall foliage and nature that the Mountains have to offer, but as much as viewers really like to see the views we have in Florida (especially South Florida)...I think people get used to seeing their own local all the time so THAT is why we are more impressed with the 'other' places. I sure like the waterfalls in the past few videos...next time you visit between Oregon and Washington check out Multnomah Falls (it has a double fall...it lands into a pool of water halfway down the cliff and then falls again). Keep up the great work.

[@christinestange4813]

Each waterfall more beautiful than the one before it .....gorgeous. You certainly caught the pretty fall foliage this time around ....lovely. Very nice footage Robert 🍁

[@rrrrrrtt1]

Thanks for sharing this incredible video, Robert. Excellent as always!

[@susiebales-oswalt1564]

The tree is a Native American trail marking tree… we were there this spring, we’ve both been the falls many times… we ate Lunch at the lodge. It was very delicious food…

[@lauraliekarels4059]

Wow! Thank You! What a gorgeous place you let me have a glimpse of.

[@RVPastorKevin]

If your Colorado is anything like my Chevy, you not only have to put the gear selector into "L", but then manually put it in "Tow/Haul" and select 1, 2, or 3rd gear by the + or - button on the gear shift handle. I drive a mountain road in NC and 1st gear does a great job of keeping the truck slow without using the brakes. I also think you bought the Colorado just because how you say "Colorado" makes the video that much more fun to watch. Love the accent! Enjoy the traveling man. If you end up coming through Spartanburg, SC, give me a shout!

[@TravelingRobert]

The only thing in 2nd and 1st gear it revs up a lot. I'm afraid to damage a relatively new engine. That was a 25% grade too, maybe I was expecting too much.

[@andrewevanoff1192]

This is done to improve fuel efficiency, often an a cost of sacrificing a lot of other performance parameters. Read what the manual says about engine braking while towing. The transmission should be switched to tow mode, if available. Also, sometimes you need to apply brakes for a bit before the truck activates engine braking subroutine. This varies by manufacturer though. BTW, Robert, don't wait for the recommended mileage for the first oil change. I would not wait for the FIRST oil change past 3,000 miles. Use quality full or 100% synthetic oil only. This also includes oil change in the rear differential (often very neglected). There will be a lot of wear particles in the first oil change, especially after towing the trailer. Oil is relatively cheap. Do this if you want the truck to last. Manufacturer's oil change intervals are far stretched, especially for towing. They will get you past the warranty but the manufacturer only cares about the declared operating expenses thus increasing the oil change intervals. Towing a trailer puts a lot of stress on the power train.

Thanks for the video. I use to live in Atlanta and day travel to the mountains. It was like another world.

[@iiigraghu]

Excellent

[@randyl9071]

Those bent trees that can sometimes be found in forests are not natural. Native Americans would bend young trees to make directional trail markers for safe trails and to point to important landmarks such as food or water.

[@TravelingRobert]

You learn something new every day. Thank you

Florida beaches and Arizona canyons are great too... but there's something special about the mountains

Hey Robert! We have some beautiful falls here in middle Tennessee. I've done videos on a couple of them. Check out Burgess Falls and Cummins Falls. Both of these are Tennessee State Parks. Fall Creek Falls is an awesome one too!

[@cia1204]

Another great video as usual!

[@Imbridget2003]

This brought back great memories for us!!! We shadowed/ supported our son from Maine to Georgia in 2019 on his entire Appalachian Trail thru hike with his "Tramily" (as they call their trail family) in our RV. You used a site at Amicalola Falls 3 spots away from the one we celebrated at for the completion of his AT Thru hike. While we didn't hike the actual AT ,of course, what an awesome chance to experience the roads, the trails and iconic sights, hikers and people we met along the way from June to November! It was epic adventure for us that our son asked us to make by sending us the book "Exploring the Appalachian Trail by RV, Well Sort of...." by Anita Hartigan a year before his trip. We were so lucky to hike small parts of the AT, and we saw towns we would have never explored if we hadn't been supporting him with supply meet ups, zero day overnights for the hikers, transportation and cook outs with IPA's and more!! Thank you for the video Robert!!

[@TravelingRobert]

I will look up that book. Sounds like something I would like to do. Thank you!

[@Imbridget2003]

@@TravelingRobert that RV book was just a starting point, some info was vague or dated . When the detailed planning really began along the trail, the hikers gave us the book that they found too heavy to carry in their packs after awhile and downloaded the app on thier phones. It is like the AT Bible for many on the hike and gives every minut detail from life saving water sources to exact mileage to elevations to best meet up points to best ice-cream etc. Its call The AT Guide www.theatguide.com/. And its what they poured over daily for the best planning ever. There is a northbound and southbound edition. Enjoy!!!

@@TravelingRobert Also, we just want to add, we have been binge watching every show of yours during the pandemic and you help feed our hunger for travel while we do short rv trips for now until we head back to full-time again this spring , starting with Yellowstone.

Thank you so much for your videos, I really have enjoyed them. I have traveled all around the world and your videos make me want to buy an RV and travel some more. Suggestion please: Have you ever thought of making a video of your home and your tipical every day life. Possibly, your town or even the festivities that go on in your area. For example: Calle Ocho. What goes on in the busiest time of the year there. Maybe, south beach or the beaches in Miami. I think it would get the fans to even know you a little bit better and how it is over there... Just a thought.... Thanks again Traveling Robert....

[@JamiePainter]

Loved your video, Robert. Amicalola is one of my favorite weekend trips. If you visit after major rains the waterfall is really spectacular. I live about one hour south of there. Did you see the remains of the old cars and trucks under the stairs and up on the ridge? The gorge was a favorite dumping spot for moonshiners when the "revenuers" were in pursuit. They would roll their vehicles off the ridge to try to destroy evidence and some say to even fake their own deaths.

Robert have seen the falls many times but it was in the 1976 to 1978 era a lot different now ,i lived on the back side of Lake Lanier on an island with a causeway to the island close to Dawsonville , if you get a chance go to Helen Ga looks like a Swiss village . Can't remember where but close to Amicalola is an original covered bridge over a small river beautiful my ex-wife was from Georgia have always loved the north Georgia area ,beautifully during the fall enjoy yourself .
