Love your channel and your trip. Brought back lots of memories. My husband and I took the same trip route a few years ago. We took the train to the canyon but stayed overnight in a cabin and took the morning train back the next day. That allowed us to see sunrise and sunset at the canyon and the stars at night. You have the best channel on KZbin and a great family. May God continue to bless you.

That’s sooo cool

[@brettlhupfer1]

Tosh asked about the tunnels under the road. They are for the animals. Highways built in areas with a lot of wildlife were planned to accommodate the wild life . The roads are lined with fences to keep animals off the highway. The animals find the tunnels to get to the other side of the road. We love your show! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!

Time for a Sleeperdude official, autographed road atlas in the merch store? 🤷‍♀️ Let's do it!

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear rt3box 👍👌👏 I instantly thought similar as soon as they couldn't buy a road atlas at a truck stop! I also thought that they could ask the hotel to send the forgotten first road atlas to their home. It could be autographed by all of them and auctioned off to help paying for the new shop respectively needed tools (tire... 😱 I mean casing mounting/balancing machine 🙈 for instance). Maan, that was close! Maybe I could even have banned from the channel. 😁 ;-) Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@kevinallen8162]

Watching your video took me back 45 years to the Western vacation that my mother took me on as a high school graduation present. We were traveling in a 1971 Buick Sportwagon loaded with a cabin tent and camping equipment as we camped every night of that 30 day vacation with the exception of five nights that we spent with cousins in Fremont, California. We followed old US 66 as closely as possible from Pontiac, Illinois to Los Angeles, then followed the Coast Highway (US 101) from Los Angeles to San Francisco. We returned East via Las Vegas, Nevada; Reno, Nevada (Harrah's Auto Collection) then dropped down to the Grand Canyon, returning North to visit Denver, Colorado and Colorado Springs as well as Rocky Mountain National Park. Then it was North to the Badlands of the Dakotas, Mt. Rushmore, the Corn Palace, Wall Drug, and back home to Illinois. I didn't have the company of siblings as I was an only child, but I am certain that your children are going to have memories of this trip to last a lifetime. I repeated this trip as an adult thirty years later in 2008 driving my Cadillac Eldorado Convertible towing my 1978 Argosy Minuet 6.0 Metre travel trailer. Memories of traveling the open road are some of the best. . . . . . . .

[@Sleeperdude]

So awesome thank you

I am so enjoying y'alls trip. You're making memories lasting a lifetime. It shows the vastness and natural diversity of this great country.

After I get vintage Air unit installed after seeing the amount of very hot weather you have gone through.

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

Serious note: I've been watching your series of vacation photos and remembering these places that I also saw in the last several years. It's great to see you all having a good time and enjoying our country with enthusiasm and awe. With all the crazy news lately (I'll try to avoid politics as much as possible), it's refreshing to see a normal American family and loves each other out enjoying our country. I feel like the heart and soul of our country is being destroyed little by little...and the American family along with it. It's also great to see you working on cars with your kids, getting them involved and teaching them, but having fun along the way. This is a wonderful thing and very important. Many kids will never have the type of relationship you have with your kids. I'm sure as they grow older, they'll recognize this (if they don't already) and understand just how lucky they were to have you and your wife as their parents. When I saw that scene where your wife was crying at the sight of the Grand Canyon, I shed a few tears as well because it gives me a little more hope for our future. Lately, I don't have much hope for our future due to all the things politicians are doing to destroy it. Anyway, don't change. Not sure what else to say, but thank you. Oh and by the way 43:09 🤣🤣

Dear Sleeperdude family 🙌 Hooray, another simply great video about this iconic family trip! 👍👌👏. Actually I was running out of superlatives already after watching the first video. Yours country is soooo incredibly fantastic. All those unbeliiiievably wonderful canyons, all the different nature itself etc.p.p.. Even your great grandchildren will still watch your fantastic videos about this trip. It was a nice surprise to see that Josh, the pistolero, was picked by the guy at the western show. The canyons are sooo overwhelming, that I can hardly think of anything else. In Germany we also have a lot of interesting places, even volcanoes and volcano lakes etc.. But of course all in a much lesser scale. North America respectively the US are immensely big. Congratulations 🎉 for having the opportunity to see a lot of it. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing your great adventure. Best regards, luck and health to all 5 of you. 💚💚💚💚💚

[@gotham61]

Please let Wawa know that you definitely can still take a train across the country on Amtrak. The Southern route covers a very similar route to what you drove to get out there, and the Northern route goes through Chicago. It takes about three days from New York to LA.

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok awesome thanks

[@quickdeuce]

Yes you can. The Northern route in summer, Southern route in spring or fall. A train trip across America in a sleeper car is a tad expensive BUT it will be an experience 10 lifetimes could not offer a comparison. 🙂

We loved that you concentrated on the kids faces as they walked up to the Grand Canyon. It was like we were there watching their reactions in person! Of course I feel I should tell you that you have probably addicted your kids to a life of travel. At least I hope you have. But relax. You won't regret the results!

[@zillamaker]

BTW: We had a '91 9C1 police Caprice with the same engine. We added a Jacob's ignition, a K&N open air filter and a custom 3" exhaust with a hollow cat. It would cruise 15 over the speed limit (The only way we could drive it was 15 over. It was an unmarked with dual spotlights. SCREAMED "POLICE"!) and made several Indiana to Orlando runs at 24.7 mpg. Wish we still had it!

Did almost the same cross-country trip as a kid in 1973 in the 3rd row of a Chevy Kingswood Estate facing backward. Same problem as you - AC from the front never made it to the back, and there was no changing seats allowed so my brother and I boiled. Your route looks very similar - I feel like I'm reliving much of the journey. Seven of us camped it to save some $$. After blowing a few tires with all the weight on/in the car my old man rented a UHAUL trailer so the car wouldn't get destroyed. Unforgettable & fun. Bravo - keep up the GREAT work!

That’s funny that it was basically the same trip. Good memories

The kids will never forget this trip. I’ve never forgotten mine including one around Nashville Tennessee! (From Massachusetts).

I laughed for a good 5 to 6 minutes at Mama fussin' at Josh with the drone 🤣🤣🤣 I had to pause it and calm down before hitting play again 😂

Thank you all for including us. I really enjoy everything is this video. Education and humor not excluding beauty tips hehe

I cannot tell you how much this trip will mean in the future. I took a similar journey with my Mom and two younger brothers for three incredible weeks, mostly camping, through California and the southwest. Being from the northeast, it was truly like another planet out there. The memories of that trip made watching this video really enjoyable. I hope that wagon holds up and you all have a happy and safe return.

Josh, you are so knowledgeable on history, you guys have seen nature at its most beautiful, and shared it with us, and I’m learning as I watch. God is truly amazing the beauty he created. Y’all stay safe on the rest of your journey and thank you!! Love, hugs and prayers from Indiana♥️🥰♥️🙏🏼♥️❣️❣️

Thanks guys! I was born and raised in Utah. I was drafted into the Army in 1971. I've been to many of the places you've visited. Photos can't do the Grand Canyon justice. It is breath taking. I live a few miles from the Bristol Motor Speedway now. I've been here 32 years. The humidity is the price we pay for all the beautiful green. I love it here in East Tennessee.

You talked about the food Ralph could eat. We raised two boys, from the time they reached twelve until they graduated high school and went to college all we saw of them was their butt hanging out of the fridge door. They can eat, and we loved every minute of it.

That’s funny

Seeing three people, two adults and a child in the front seat really takes me back to my childhood. Cheers
