Our 50 State USA Road Trip PART 6: 24,000 Miles Driven, All 50 Capitals, 142 Towns & Cities

[@vontaylor472]

We appreciate your videos. We appreciate you❤❤❤❤

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thank you!!

[@usmcmos0317]

What a great body of work you guys have compiled you should be very proud of your work. I appreciate each and every one especially my favorites the extremely rural small towns even the dying ones. I’m so glad you stuck with it from its humble beings till it took off enough to allow y’all to continue. You have taken me to places I probably would never have gotten to see and I thank you. You have shown places in their true light not just the tourist traps but the real place with all its good and bad. Loved the info and especially the stats. An absolute great job. Safe travels my friend keep videoing and I’ll keep watching

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thank you again!!! You are the best.

[@PhilomenaMerritt-e5e]

You are so talented, don't stop creating content!

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

I won't. :)

[@anvarserver]

Thank you. There are so few people who show us such America.

[@daylenichols1415]

I discovered your videos when I looked for abandoned places and ghost towns. You are one of the few who can narrate and take video of places that I don’t get dizzy trying to watch and your narration sounds informed with proper grammar! You are the second You-tuber who I follow that lost their job in the pandemic and have made the most of it by traveling and bringing the world to us, thank you! Stay safe!

[@jeffs8614]

Your summary videos are teriffic ! And you two are still my personal heroes! Stay safe going into all the seedy places as America crumbles. Safe travels...

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Awesome, thank you!!!

weird ahh "the west has fallen" comment get a grip

[@catlover614]

A great video! Niagara Falls is amazing! Thank you so much, Joe and Nic.😊💖

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

It really was. Niagara is one of our very favorite places.

[@rickruthstrom222]

A lifetime of seeing Niagara Falls in pictures contained impressive photos. Seeing it in person makes one realize how much one has missed. There are few places in my lifetime where natural beauty has so moved me. This is one of them.

[@ammapuramsrinivasrao2249]

Nice summing up whole trip.❤summary videos in parts but continue to make it whole.

[@lisahaganLFC]

Love these episodes you put out here where you sum up your travels

[@melindawallin3713]

Joe ,you have such a soothing voice. I have beensuffering with Covid and your voice has really been a comfort. I keep wondering what Nicole is doing while you are filming.She looks like she may be working out the whole time. My favorite parts of these videos is when you and Nicole go out to eat. I love seeing the venues, menus and the food. Thank you

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

She does work out a lot. :)

[@Callylily7]

Every time I watch, I'm more amazed. I'm putting your channel on my Facebook page. I think I'll share it on X as well as Instagram. I love y'all. You've brought me a lot of entertainment and joy. Thanks

[@vinodsweb8122]

Fantastic travel videos.....keep it up ....

[@RobinGerhart]

Thank you, enjoyed every minute!

[@nklin6]

I love your videos, as an Australian i find them fascinating. Im always amazed that even in the most derelict places, most of the cars people drive are very modern!

[@gatorgogo2742]

So much fun watching the summaries. You did a good job compiling them. Thanks. Where are ya'll off to next?

[@MXP90DL]

WoW, the devastated towns from Florida to N. Carolina are just awful. Many of these areas you took us with you two and we saw how much of it was so beautiful. If you have the will it would be a great service if you revisit a few of these and maybe talked with a few locals on the real story about any help they might be getting. The news networks are not doing this story and we need real people talking with compassion like you have to offer. Thanks for your 3 years of hard work. I understand if you are compleatly spent from what you have accomplished.

[@TruckzNTrainz]

The gary indiana video was the very first video that I watched when I first started watching your channel.

[@OkieJammer2736]

Love ALL of your big trip videos. Exciting and inspirational. Thank you!

[@maryflaherty7096]

Gary Indiana, and you drove through it. Brave fellow. We went by it several times on By ways.

[@musicfanhawk4523]

This was great! I have really enjoyed all your videos since I found you not quite a yr ago. I learn something from a lot of them and really love seeing the State Capitol buildings. Great job on the recaps.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thank you!

[@maryflaherty7096]

My 2 lived in Chicago. I had to drive there several times from Iowa, Could not wait until I got out and could see corn fields!

[@JBrd79]

I loved watching you revisit your Gary, Indiana video. Admittedly, I'm a bit biased since Gary is my hometown, lol (I no longer live there for reasons you can probably guess...). Thanks so much for doing these videos and for venturing through my state! If you wander back through, you should do a tour of the towns along the Lakeshore (Lake Michigan, of course) - we call it "The Region", and I'd love to see you do one of your informative and interesting videos on this area! Anyway, you guys killed it, with your National Tour and I hope to see it continue! :)

[@beatricegibson9754]

Hi Joe I just wanted to let you know the rotunda is the floor section of the capital the top part is the dome. Just thought I’d let you know

[@TheZukeiper]

Always wanted to tell him that ….. but usually watch from my tv … for some reason, I can’t comment from the TV….. he usually takes the pictures of dome from the rotunda….other than a few errors… his videos are excellent !

[@everydaypresent444]

It is absolutely fascinating to see all the various state capitol buildings and state houses! This part of your fabulous series showcases my part of the country, the Midwest! I agree: the Wisconsin State Capitol building has an amazing rotunda, and I am glad you were able to get to near the top. (I thought I saw a part 7 that was up earlier and now I cannot find it. I was thinking about what is going on in western NC these days and wondered if you had any footage of the Asheville area from within the last couple of years.) Take care and keep on doing what you are doing, Joe and Nic. You are an amazing narrator and observer. Your videos are at the top of my list every week.

[@remover454]

Part Six: love seeing all of your memories in these places! Thanks for sharing your video. These are beautiful places! love the eating out in restaurants. Stay Well

[@annjacobs7764]

Now this is my day better!

[@sherry1475]

Great job. Love seeing places more familiar to me. Makes these videos even more special for me to watch. ❤

Enjoyed the summery vidios again!!!!! ❤😊

[@ghtaboma]

[@johnseeley1408]

I'm glad you made it to Marquette and my home town of Lansing, Michigan.

My ex-wife’s mother grew up in Gary. Grandparents lived there until they retired, around 1971. Their retirement years were lived in Boulder City, NV.

[@torbjornekstrom5995]

your wife have the same beautiful haircolor as my sister😊 i realy like your roadtrip in all states...at the same time i feel sad when i see all abondend small towns ounce full of life "the god old days",not so long ago. you keep up your travel trough america👍

[@motowngirl5891]

Thomas Edison houses ☺️☺️ thanks for all you do, I’m glad I found your channel

[@thebrokearchitect]

Hi. The Frank Lloyd Wright building you mentioned is “Fallingwater” not Rainwater. Love this series of videos as a British Architect.

[@markbrinkdopke3436]

I love these videos you guys are truly living my dream

[@rickruthstrom222]

While a niece lived in Indianapolis for college and a number of years thereafter, my younger son was earning an MBA at University of Illinois. He then worked for State Farm in Bloomington, IL and Nationwide in Columbus. The cousins did a lot of things together, but both have returned to Colorado. I was able to visit a number of times from 2011 through 2015. I did not go into Ohio’s Capitol building. Your view of the rotunda surprised me because from the outside, it appears there is no rotunda. A fun memory from Columbus occurred while we dined at a restaurant overlooking one of the rivers running through town. We had the pleasure of observing two adult beavers swimming in the river and a baby beaver tagging along behind. Before that day, I had never seen beavers in the wild, much less a baby.

[@marcodebarkingville1827]

Would not want to roam that Gary cathedral at midnight.😱

[@cindyhewitt3358]

Another great video!! 👍 ❤

[@shashisekharpraharaj8654]

Appreciate your efforts. Nice video.

[@LJones69]

I have loved all these 50 states in review and I know it had to take a long time to edit all this footage together. So, I am very gobsmacked, that these sets of videos have very low view numbers! I was thinking that each video would garner more than 200k views for EACH video! Yet non have even gotten to 100k and most not even 50k. I really don’t understand why…. Such a shame in my humble opinion!!!

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thank you for this. Yes, I worked on these for weeks, going through hundreds of hours in hundreds of videos. I did expect them to do better. What I have learned is that it's pretty much impossible to predict what will do well on KZbin. That said, these may find an audience later. :)

[@LJones69]

@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip you guys have plans for what’s next now that you have been to all 50 states and their capitals? Are you guys going to keep doing small towns and cities in the various states or do you have something completely different in mind?

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

@@LJones69 Will still be doing small town tours. In fact, I've already video'd three - Louisiana, Mississippi and a small, near ghost town in Eastern Kentucky that was once thriving and one of the top coal producers in the world. That said, we're going to take a look at some US territories and begin doing some international visits. Canada next spring, for sure, and we may try to get to Australia before winter is over.

Friday, October 4. Afternoon in Europe. Im wathing your cool road trip. Its nice 👍

[@patm5594]

Well put together videos

[@marks2997]

That is one heck of a downtown for a city of less than 1 million.

[@shotgun111180]

love Cincy, its just that its 5 hours away from Paducah KY

[@WhittyPics]

You will have to go back to that capitol when they are finished working on it

[@RandyFelts2121]

That chunk of huge coal awaits me on Christmas morn I would imagine.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

LOL!!

[@dr.c9461]

Thanks very much! Great video!

[@couerl]

The missus takes good care of herself and looks terrific. My favorite part of the videos are looking at the old 2 story brick buildings in the town centers, usually empty. I want to remodel one and live upstairs and just have a simple store and a simple life downstairs and drink lemonade on the porch, maybe do some light manufacture and sell stuff online. A romantic notion, I'm sure. There are a million homeless in this country and at least a million empty or abandoned homes. Why is that? I think at a certain point the mega corps will become too big to succeed and things will return to their mom and pop roots. Maybe another romantic notion.

[@imabeliever85]

Terrific and well organized recaps! Will you be putting out a list of your top ten favorites cities? I think I know 5 of them so far. My personal top ten so far are Chagrin Falls, Oh, Savannah, GA, Stillwater, MN, Marquette, MI, Cooperstown, NY, Bar Harbor, Maine, Athens, Ohio, Gettysburg, PA, Door County Wi, and Naples, Fl.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Good list. Those are all really nice towns.

[@simonhenry3815]

the journey must come to an end - my lord - what is coming up for this winter???

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Not sure, but tentatively Puerto Rico, maybe some other US territories. In a few weeks we'll probably heads to where Helene hit, see how this areas are recovering. I have 3 videos shot and ready to post - rural Louisiana, Mississippi and an amazing, near ghost town that was a former coal producing powerhouse in rural east Kentucky.
