OMG !!!! White Rose was my grandfathers oil company !! Im totally in tears !! WOW WOW WOW !! I have never seen his company sign !! My grandpa was an inventor also ! He was a big oil man in Tulsa Oklahoma !! Bert Goble !!! My grandpa had lots of patents ! This video really touched my heart !! Thank you so much !! Im gonna pass this along to my family and friends !

[@davidstreiten4693]

Bert Goble was a horrible man

[@TodayImMaking]

That was fun, thank you for sharing Uranus with the world! :)

[@sueg2658]

Rest well Eric. You certainly deserve chill out time. You always give your viewers so much. Fun video. Safe fun travels and hugs to Jax.

[@Tom37323]

Even at your worst it is great video and content. Thank you Eric.

[@chrishorst6993]

Cute how she said thanks for picking Uranus

[@lindathompson6678]

Yes, you need a break! Heat takes the wind out of my sails too! Be safe!

[@shawnmcintyre4773]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride !

[@Challway]

Hi Eric! I love your videos because you have no real timetable and stop at all the interesting sites! Thanks for showing it to us!

[@bobbyzzz69]

Eric, you and Jax have done a incredible job showing what its like to travel down Route 66! . so many great vlogs this last few months! I wanna say thank you for all the hard work you have put into this! 😊. I would have never been able to see all these cool places you have gone if you were not taking the time to make these great videos. Hope you get some rest. I can't wait to see your next video brother! Take care Bobbyzzz

[@Pack.Leader]

I loved this video. So much that I'm going to share it on FB. You inspired me to get out of my sticks and bricks rental and into a Class C and I've been living in her for just over a year now. I'm not living as you do though, yet. No generator, no solar and no inverter. I've been reliant on shore power and this has to stop. I'm leaving New England again soon and this time, I'm crossing the great USA to head back to the desert southwest where I used to live. I don't know if I'll ever drive my rig back east, though all my family are in MO and east of there. This video shows me how interesting MO can be and I thank you for that. I wasn't thrilled that I was going to be driving through MO to get to CO and then head south, but now I can see something to look forward to, even in that. Thanks, Eric. I mean it. You have been someone who has motivated me to change my life. Go for a dream, while I still can. "Miss Adventure" has a double meaning and I chose it for that reason. Life is like a box of chocolates. OH ! And that RV park idea near Uranus is one that could really work. That's no joke. God bless you and Jax. (I hate the heat too. Lord knows how much.) You found some real gems in this trip.

[@paulajackson4638]

Miss Adventure . where in New England are you leaving from? I'm in Arizona wanting to go to New England.what I have left for family is there..safe travels..

[@david39348]

In regards to your question about the, "Trail of Tears". I got this information from the History Channel web site. At the beginning of the 1830s, nearly 125,000 Native Americans lived on millions of acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida-land their ancestors had occupied and cultivated for generations. By the end of the decade, very few natives remained anywhere in the southeastern United States. Working on behalf of white settlers who wanted to grow cotton on the Indians’ land, the federal government forced them to leave their homelands and walk thousands of miles to a specially designated “Indian territory” across the Mississippi River. This difficult and sometimes deadly journey is known as the Trail of Tears.

[@jlions72]

[@michaelh5384]

And while in the UP, don't forget to visit the Tahquamenon Falls (upper and lower), and Whitefish Point (and see the oldest operating lighthouse on Lake Superior, and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum), and also Marquette and ...

[@sherrysimpson4288]

The Trail of Tears is the route that the Cherokee people were forced to march from Georgia and North Carolina mountains to Oklahoma so the white man could steal their gold and land. Very sad and cruel time in our history.

[@hithernyon8495]

Doing genealogy, I noticed the migration of white families from more coastal areas and in more northerly states to the "newly opened" Indian lands. There were land lotteries for the new fertile and level farmland.

[@HikeBikeWalkRide]

Thank God we have changed and people no longer judge people on color,

[@SkepticalRaptor]

Yeah. It's refreshing. I love also how police in Missouri ignore skin color before shooting anyone.

[@asianpirate4061]

Humankind still performs these atrocities. "The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few." I love the song "Trail of Tears" by Europe. awesome 80's rock ballad.

[@radarnj8043]

MS hands up don't shoot was a lie. A fact even Holder couldn't white wash... Most come here for relaxing fun not bs MS hate speak ms.

Just visited Uranus last weekend. Fun place! They have a fancy sign now.

[@jackmason7518]

You are doing a great job. Jack

[@Osckarre]

You're videos are fascinating Eric. So glad you're still allowing comments. I'm an avid RVer and your channel has so much potential. I watch them often and love the adventures.

I always enjoy every video! keep up the great work!

That was real nice fishing store

[@southerngal7899]

Ty for sharing. I'm with you with the heat and humidity. It's awful this year, supposed to be worse. Love your travels and Jax. Coming to you from Louisiana, with heat index of 104. :-(. ♡

[@aryanasaiter6150]

Barb southerngal * Hi Barb from the Wolf Lady from Livingston Parish, La. But now I have been living in Ca. for 30 years now. But I did raised wolf's there for some years. I was living my bliss there , albeit in poverty. I came here to California for spiritual enlightenment, and found it. Why am I ranting? Anyway I loved the woods and the Gulf coast. And the lakes. Hope your doing those kinds of things since we're not traveling like Eric. Thanks Eric for the videos.

[@sallyspilka1448]

Every video you make I learn and grow from it Eric and you help me to make me a better person ,thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'M WORKING AT GETTING MY YOU TUBE UP AND RUNNING AS THE...AMBITIOUS ANTIQUE ! I hope to meet you in the Mi UP someday it's my home state you'll love it I promise.

[@chuckborghoff8443]

We have not laughed so much at a you tube video. You have a way with one liners. Keep up the fun and great videos. Thanks

[@whyteowl3706]

I couldn't help but think that the changes that were made to fit the couch in, was a really good idea. Looks really comfortable, and very tidy.

[@HulaShack1]

Too funny! Totally enjoyed the tour of Uranus. Awesome video, as usual.

[@donaldpratt7099]

this was a good vlog. thanks Eric and Jax.

[@juanweigel1057]

[@sherriebulechek8543]

You're videos are still great

[@norasteel5353]

Loved the awesome stops with the gas tanks! Too bad that one is for sale...thanks Eric. You and Jax take care!

[@cynthiam1921]

Hey Eric, I can sympathize with not liking the heat, I'm the same way. I've lived in MI most of my life and my suggestion is that you go through WI, into the Upper Peninsula of MI, and bomb around the Lake Superior shore line for the summer and start heading south when the Leaves are turning. Go south through the Lower Peninsula of MI and hug the Lake Michigan Shoreline. As you go south the colors turn and you can stay in the Fall Color season for an extended period of time. Autumn in the U.P. is phenomenal and with all the waterfalls and rock formations, the colors are very intense. If you get near Traverse City MI, and you want to meet up, I'd love to say hello.

[@jlions72]

good idea I had him going up into michigan but your way is great too ..and yaaa i would like to meet up and say hi as you hug the shore line south

[@claireclaire7504]

You should do Alaska Eric, in the summer of course 😁

[@ronmart69]

Take a break Brother! Sometime you just gotta stop and smell the roses instead driving past them. Enjoy! Prayers for safe travels and bigger adventures.

[@jjview1796]

I bet you're tired of the heat! Am looking forward to the great lakes...definitely on my list of places to see.

[@thatdudeinblack8707]

that air conditioner in the tent was awesome lol. Eric i love your videos

[@janestephens6304]

You are just sooo coool I would never have thought to plan my trip to do it in exactly 66 days im hoping to leave this fall from Chicago to California you have given me a cool thought... love your wok!

[@todddunn945]

I totally understand about the heat since I grew up in western Washington too. Get out of the mid-west. It is hot and HUMID there in the summer.

[@MichaelWilliams-ro9bm]

Todd Dunn HUMID+heat=deadly+exhausted!!

[@claireclaire7504]

Todd Dunn : yep. I can't take the heat. 67 degrees is my perfect temp.

[@edwardfast4525]

Hang in there Eric hope you do make it to Michigan would like to meet you if possible love your videos!

[@graywolf2025kh]

Love your videos. You have a great life being able to travel where you want. I also like the RV tips you do sometimes.

[@jimanddebwilper]

Loved this episode!!!!! Get some much needed R&R and yeah, don't even think of coming into Idaho...we are having 100 plus days here too :( Gentle pats to Jax!

[@chriskozak4966]

Eric & Jax, excellent video. Uranus was eccentric to the max. Luv all your corky discoveries. Dude, heat is heat, go get some rest & turn up the AC & Fans to the max & just be relax, you will be fine.👍🏽😎

[@topherjoe1]

Lol, welllllll we have been hitting 80-90 here in Seattle. Looks like we are going to have another hot one this summer and the 76 is shelved again! At least it cools down at night. Travel on you two!

[@Mikeitup91]

OMG I could not stop laughing sir. Thank you for making my day great! Someday I hope I get to shake your hand =)

[@ronpeted]

Cool hat ! Watching another KZbin channel with folks traveling in Canada towards Alaska and it's snowing in July ...while it's in triple digits in many parts of the States . Crazy.

[@theoldfarmerswife5915]

Thanks for sharing downtown & north Springfield. Been to the Bass Pro Shop many times (there seems to ALWAYS be construction there), but the traffic was horrendous, we never ventured further into the city.

[@todhunt182]

It's definitely time to put Uranus behind you and move on! Epic idea on the Rt.66 in 66 days. You need to write a book about your travels.

[@marcvasquez5287]

I feel your pain , from the NW myself and in Illinois, the heat here is hard to get used to.

[@mikedempsey7987]

Ive done a big weather research comparison. Upper Peninsula Michigan is a GREAT cool summer area but the absolute BEST is...the 1,000 Islands area in upstate NY. July is 77F/55F most nights....absolutely deeeeelightful! I take side trips to Lake Placid. Montreal...& a short hop to Kingston Ontario just for fun !!

[@jeffdurling100]

I haven't been, but if you get the chance to be in Memphis, check out the Bass Pro there. They took over the Pyramid downtown (Was the NBA team arena) and converted it to a store. It the largest one by far and has a Marina and 20 story high restaurant and observation deck. For a retail store that pretty crazy.

[@claireclaire7504]

Jeff Durling : Really? That is incredible! I had no idea!

[@AlexRodriguez-gw8xt]

If you're near Minnesota end of August first week in September that's when we have the great Minnesota get together (our state fair) super huge and lots to do and even more to film. Free concerts and more junk food that anyone could ask for

[@TheBioExplorer]

Eric.. I've lived in SC, the Philippines, Mississippi, and Alaska... and no one is feeling well in this heat except bugs!

[@Me-ev4ix]

It was 120 at my house on Friday. We've cooled back to 105 now but we haven't been under 100 during the day since May. Winters are in the 70s.

[@rvcruzn3870]

Thanks for showing us Uranus Eric! Have to try Uranus burger next year when we do end to end route 66.

[@MyLifesVentures]

Great video Eric, loved all the eye candy collectibles, jokes etc. These are the kind of videos I enjoy most that you put out, it was cool sites, fun narration, jokes, keep it up!

[@onrycodger]

This video definately belongs in the favorites file. Two thumbs up Eric! 👍👍

[@judithneeley5229]

You're not alone about being from the PNW and not doing well with the heat - and especially humidity. Still, I'm enjoying all these crazy places you are finding on route. Hope you've cooled off by now.

[@larryandjackieoz5275]

Go to upper Michigan. It is beautiful and looks a lot like home. Lots to see and do. I did not go over the bridge at the top to that island that is there, but I understand that it is fun and you should find a lot to video.

G'day Eric, from Caboolture, Australia. I was in the USA in November 2001, which was right after 911. I spent 3 weeks travelling by train & bus from the west coast to the east. I'm thinking seriously about coming back to the US, hiring a Jucy van & seeing some of the sights. I would love to visit Yellowstone, Zion, The Grand Canyon etc. I would also like to visit some of the battle sights of the war between the states. Thanks for inspiring me to consider doing another trip to your country. Keep up the good work with your videos.

[@Bethannbrockman]

I’m 37, and when I was a kid Nick at Night used to play Black & White TV shows... I loved watching ‘I Love Lucy’ and ‘Mr Ed’

[@APRIL2862]

Yup, it's definitely getting warmer there when you hit July!

[@BrendaH90159]

Wow, I understand I never realized the weather was like that in your area, I'm born and raised in Texas (Houston) so I only know hot, hotter, and damn hot. Winter I might have to put on a jacket to get to the car in the morning but usually by the afternoon we can wear short again. LOL. Enjoy all the stuff you find, such great stuff!

[@beautyfulldoll11]

Hope you feel better Eric, please take time to enjoy the simple things,embrace it all we all wish we could do what you're, if you need time to relax without the cameras going, we totally will understand. Stay safe.

I know what you mean about the heat! it is very exhausting and life draining as you end up being inside the RV most of the time. I live in Texas and working towards getting out on the road and going west or chasing the 70's weather, keep up the the great videos, enjoy watching your travels.

Good morning to you too

Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water and gatorade and powerade. At the end there , thought maybe the heat is getting the best of you.

Smooth move with the more substantial spiffy ergonomic new toilet before the Uranus Fudge Factory.

[@BJH862]

We have good food here in MO but the heat is just overbearing. Horrible humidity but it is my home and I love it. Thanks for the adventure. You shot right under Rolla, a really neat small college town. Wondering if you will tour any of the caves you will be passing by? Pacific has some amazing cliffs along old 66.

Eric, I doubt that you will find the UP as cool as you expect. The drive up thorough WI is nice and lots to see and do. Check out the Soo locks at Sault Ste Marie if you get the chance. Happy Trails.

[@lillianzybarra6405]

yes Eric you have been working hard, sometimes you need a little rest. After you and Jax get rested you will be back on your game, that's why most people work 5 days and 2 days off. That's time to recharge. Rest well and stay safe and God Bless

[@edwardweiss7145]

I don't understand the negative comments on here- If you don't like his channel, stop watching it.. makes no sense why you'd troll his site. anyway, as usual, a great video, Eric! , keep up the good work and stay rested and cool and enjoy yourself! you definitely deserve it!

[@gbryant261]

I'd suggest going up to the UP by way of Wisconsin and back down through Michigan along the lake. Both routes have much to see and both have a lot of interesting sites to visit. Have a safe journey.

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Hi Jax! Eric - I think Cabela's & Bass Pro Shop just ask that you Register with them before closing for overnight parking. they also have a free dump station - can't remember if they have water. great video!

Nice video. Just relax a bit, you deserve it... "Chill Out" awhile :D Thanks for the hard work !!! Love You Guys !!!!

[@Jennifer-ng9ju]

Hi Eric! The husband and I watch you regularly and enjoy your adventures with Jax. We appreciate all the work you put into the videos and are very impressed by how much your shooting skills have developed. We envy your life in a lot of ways (we love to travel) and appreciate your obvious love for Jax. We just watched your most recent video and I wondered if you have ever considered doing historical research on areas before you visit them? I was surprised and disheartened by the fact that the Trail of Tears was something you are unfamiliar with you. I know we, personally, would love a little bit more info (historic, geographical, whatever) about the locations you visit. Something to just consider... All the absolute best to you and Jax!

[@kiwicomposer]
