I came for Jacob's visit to the hometown of my favourite American author. I stayed for Jacob screaming "WHHHHYHYHYHYHY" as he careened down a mountain!

[@user-yn8do4px8e]

my grandmom has love letters from Mark Twain that we had appraised and certified years ago which are 100% legit, she has passed away few years ago and the letters are now in a Vault. Other unknown info about Mark Twain is that he had a Summer House in Pennsylvania which still stands to this day in the Lehigh Valley just on the out skits of Dorney Ville next to Dorney Park.

[@jennyvezina4551]

That's so cool that your grandmother and Mark Twain had a romance.

[@deniseboldea1624]

That's so cool!

[@madebykemo]

Wild!! That’s worth some bucks. Truly a dream piece for a collector.

[@rodkukura]

You are a beautiful honest human being, thank you for sharing your journey and making a positive influence.

[@vioisme]

This guy has traveled more in one month then I have my whole life.

[@TheGypsyandtheVanillaGorilla]

Hey you Jacob, always a pleasure! Thats for keep on keeping on!

[@elf5012]

Oh my gosh, this was indeed an adventure. Thanks for taking us along on this enjoyable and exciting journey.

[@BrewCityGillz]

33:15 - Looks like you made the right choice with that camera. Even the kids think it’s cool! 🎥

[@jedimando9258]

Huck finn was one of my favorite childhood stories, its cool seeing where twain grew up

[@goofyrulez7914]

I like how Mark Twain said the Mississippi is "a mile wide and an inch deep" 🙂

[@EsmeGrubb]

I'm so happy that you finally got to ride on the Mississippi River! This is a wonderful trip, and I'm glad to be going along with you in your videos

[@ZARMUSIC-hx3gh]

Always a 'Bright Spot' in my day! You're the only vlogger on YT, that can make me 'belly laugh', that trip down the 'Alpine Slide' had my eyes watering up with laughter, and delight! What you do, is so valuable to society at large, and many future generations will play your videos, to show how things 'were' back in our times! 💖

[@iamprivate18]

TCB is one of few people who can make a scenic river road trip super fun to view!

[@alliekuma4234]

I lie how the Japanese version of Tom Sawyer look like Studio Ghibli characters. The paintings for the book are gorgeous. ♥ Could you imagine if his head was actually that big while having his hands? It is unfortunate the monument was never built, but the small version is still impressive. ♥ I seriously appreciate these vids and being able to learn so much from them. Thanks Jacob!

[@lorettablakeman3335]

Jacob,you're a machine,I don't know how you do it!God bless you and that scenery takes my breath away!I've been watching you for years,don't forget to rest and take care of your self.Sending love to you and Jenn

[@pickinweedsvintage]

Great episode! Those are cicadas!

[@emmaruffin-cromer8266]

I had a terrible day today. I hadn't been able to watch your videos for 3 days. I binge watched the last 3 days of your trip. You make it feel like going on a trip with a friend. Thank you for a soothing and pleasant end to my day. I really needed it.

[@cathpeterson1944]

awesome adventure along the Mississippi 👍🏻

[@kayleigh354]

In the show Roseanne remember they opened a diner that sold only loose meat sandwiches. Thats all I could think of when you got that sandwich. Enjoying your little series here on the "mighty Mississippi River". So your where Mark Twain grew up and I'm here in CT where he lived his life.

[@conniecrawford5231]

Roseanne!s diner was in Iowa, not Missouri .

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Reminded me of that as well

[@jennyvezina4551]

I've been waiting, and here it is......thank you for another wonderful video.....

[@jduke1291]

Wow. my family sets down for supper around the table with your videos on the tv every evening we love watching and learning we feel like we are along with you We get ideas on places to visit Thank you for all you do We all love you Keep up the wonderful work we can’t wait to see your next video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@That_Boris_Guy]

Great episode! I have caved and ordered an album for my smashed pennies. 😁

[@juanzapata492]

You enjoyed a great day with a meal and a tour boat ride

[@MG2000MDPHD]

That lift's view on the way up not so hot but the way down, heavenly!

[@dianadelahaye7660]

Fun boat ride

[@madebroke7677]

Grew up 30 minutes from the Mississippi River..the river and Twain go hand in hand! Great road trip Mr. Carpetbagger! Awesome as always 😊

[@user-il2py5ez8m]

Beautiful day.

[@eroelofs5016]

Just enjoying life riding a chairlift without knowing where it leads you. Thats Just a blast, love it!

[@joedeckinflyover]

That's a cool little town, Grafton Illinois .

[@wendidallas8213]

I was waiting also! I get worried if not posted by 7 a.m.! Lol

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Slow hotel internet

[@lissachocolate]

Wow! So much fun! Love that you took the sky lift without knowing what was at the top and spontaneously rode a mountain coaster. Your new camera is great, beautiful scenery!

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Jacob 🤓📸👋 my mother was from Colombia Missouri her dad was a professor at University of Missouri he was a clinical psychology teacher or professor for years he tetired in the 1970s. You riding the Mark Twain steam boat sounds awesome and sharing with us what's it's all about. Thanks for sharing this. Stay safe my friend.

[@catholicactionbibleonlyist1813]

I have been Hannibal, MO I have been on the Mark Twain Riverboat I remember seeing the train tracks under water back in 1993

[@lonesoul663]

Nothing more Mississippi than Mark Twain. I also imagined that chairlift taking Jacob to some mysterious dimensional plane between realities for some reason.

[@user-ul3ls3ek8c]

The unsinkable Molly browns house is there too. Becky thatcher, huck Finn, and Tom sawyer.

[@CrazyIKE75]

Did you know Mark Twain an his family are buried in my home town, Elmira, NY in Woodlawn Cemetery. Now you know lol

[@diannecouey5176]

Wish i could get one of those mark twain face pressed penny. So cool

[@charlesbabcock1530]

Always fun going to Hannibal. The ghost tour is pretty neat...

[@user-jl6iw7qj7m]

Our senior nights were on the riverboat. Small river town life, enjoyable :)

[@janetcannon7986]

Watching the guard rail go by I have the urge to glue something like little rubber ducks on top so it looks like a cartoon clip or something! Lol

[@SLYGARR]

One of my favorite vacations started in Hannibal. I have pictures of my family and I on that same street white washing.

[@MP-gm5gg]

Spontaneous chairlift ride, riverboat thank you Jacob. Packed full of adventure. 😊

[@Nocturne211206]

New to the channel but love the content. Ben Rogers who has impersonating a steamboat gladly gave Tom Sawyer his apple to whitewash the fence! You know your Twain!

[@chrisakers759]

😂 facial expression of regret on the coaster😅 Laughing with you, not at you 😉

[@allensherrill850]

White wash da fence! Smooth strokes, up and down.. paint it, don’t tickle it! 😂

[@diannecouey5176]

How awesome. I always wanted to see it.

[@Corgis175]

So glad you came to Hannibal. Also got your boat ride in.

[@user-he3fl1de2p]

I would love to just drive and stop and just do what I want to. You have the best job. Keep on moving and keep on sharing

[@Swollpac]

I'm glad you enjoyed Grafton

[@jeanniehuskins6218]

I want to visit Hannibal MO. Thanks for introducing it to me.

[@MissouriPenny]

Welcome to my beautiful state of Missouri..."the show me state"❤❤❤

[@allensherrill850]

We had fun today, thanks Jacob!👍🏼

[@joewilliams4955]

Awesome set of videos! Is that Cicada’s ?

[@baileehammann]

i was the girl that said the camera was dope and YES! they are cicadas, he has a really good microphone or something because its very VERY hard to hear the person next to you. its VERY loud and they are EVERYWHERE.

[@lovebuzz1979]

This was a lot of fun!! Those bugs I think are Cicadas and yes they are so loud!

[@comeoncarebear]

Thank you Jacob for another great video.

[@mr_jake.y8348]

That goes both ways!

[@tomboyraider1015]

One day you should do a video on the collection of all your pressed pennies! Show and tell us the story behind them and where you got em. Just a video suggestion idea for ya 😁

[@maryblaufuss7533]

I know, I'd like to see them later, too. Maybe a slide show, one slide for the pennies from each place, with narration and/or musical accompaniment. Jenn could help sort the pennies and add her two cents to the narration (pun not so much intended as stumbled upon.)

[@elizabethlemke6058]

Graftons Alpine Coaster is one of my faves I've ridden in the US. Also true story my Uncle's body was discovered right outside of Grafton at the welcome/rest stop spot in the 80s. Have fun in the Alton area my daddy is a former Deputy Sheriff there, and my hometown.

[@pjmartin6690]

This adventure was awesome...but you really need to ride a PADDLEBOAT on the Mississippi!!!!!

[@unclesham5507]

Dead rat on a string. Classic American childrens toy.

[@vargasfamily282]

This is why I wouldn’t get into a Time Machine.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

As a local area resident, I'll let you know (unless this is an old video just being shared), the lighthouse was rebuilt in 2019. The old one was in pretty bad shape, and the replacement was dearly needed. And if you're curious, the local area roller derby team used to use the entire run of the lighthouse stairs as a training tool, seeing how many round trips they could make. I don't even like doing the upper portion, though.

[@CCcastro336]

That looked like fun! Thank you for taking us along!!

[@amandas8621]

I know it was in the subject/ details, but that coaster was a nice surprise ending!

[@deborahnodd9414]

The new camera is great. The picture , exspecially on the beautiful views of the river, is a lot clearer . Sorry, but got a good laugh at you going down that mountain! The Hoosier friend.

[@user-si9ui7vd3v]

Good trip today thanks for the alpine coaster!

[@brianking973]

I used to ride the river in a pontoon boat with a friend. Very scary seeing the giant whirlpools that would swallow you up. It is sad to see our river by the time it makes it to the Gulf of Mexico. Every bit of trash and pollution from cities and construction sites and farms wash down. It's good mineral deposits for seafood, but it sure makes the Mississippi Coast Water nasty. Love these videos Jacob ❤

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

Awesome video as always Jacob keep up the awesome work 😊

[@mcwatersd]

Wow! What a visit . That museum and homes were awesome. That is the most memorial part of his book Tom Sawyer was also the white washing of the fence. It has been so long since I last read them , It would be a good time to rediscover his books maybe through my Granddaughters eyes . I took a paddle wheeler ride once and it was so much fun . So many little side things in Hannibal celebrating Mark Twain. For some reason I thought when you went down that coaster you would be at the bottom .Did not realize you would have to take the lift down but it was such beautiful scenery seeing the river . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@loriwalker5922]

Here in Greenville, Ohio there is a restaurant that only sells Maid Rite sandwiches. They are constantly busy. People travel from all over to eat there. Thanks for your video today. Safe travels

[@kristabell2445]

I look forward to watching your videos every day after a long day at work. Keep on keeping on ;)

[@Krayt01]

This is pretty goofy but while watching the video I suddenly had Johnny Hortons' melody with this new text in my head: In Twenty Twentyfour we took a little trip along with carpetbagger down the mighty Mississip` He took a meaty Sandwich and he got his Pennies presst Jacob´s filming for our pleasure and he never takes a rest. Is there anyone who wants to write the chorus?😄

[@paulfuryes203]

Great video, Jacob. Keep them coming, till the next one take care my friend and safe travels as always.

[@JonHazzard]

Maid rites are amazing, an Iowa staple!

[@joesneon]

AWESOME Jacob!!! This has been a BLAST!!!!!

[@adriannec4188]

I’d love to make this drive someday…when you’re done, would you post your route and notes about places to stop?

[@robylove9190]

I'm glad you got to ride the river ❤

[@robbiwilhelm3780]

You are just a wonderful person.

[@tomboyraider1015]

Love these kinds of adventures.

[@hattiem.7966]

Jacob,I know the feeling but the alpine coasters are fun.I go slower than my hubby does.Have you been the alpine slides?I love them and like being on the ground.The 2 best for me were in Winter Park,CO and Attatash in the Jackson,NH area.They have it on YT and you can control the speeds better.

[@1954shadow]

Glad you decided to do the riverboat cruise in Hannibal.

[@hubertproductions4186]

My dad delivers to the carquest auto parts store in that beautiful town and I’ve been with him a couple of times so I to have been to that exact town and love seeing a video of such a beautiful town that even I have been to 😊

[@hubertproductions4186]

Edit as I live right down the road from grafton when you said it was in Missouri grafton is actually Illinois you were on the Illinois side of the Mississippi river

[@bobcalderon2534]

I am glad you rode the steamboat. 😊

[@Jinnie559]

Jacob! Those are the cicadas!! You know...the ones that have been on the news for months. Enjoyed your video.

[@minavane5533]

Why are they on the news?

[@Jinnie559]

@@minavane5533 This year is a very rare occurrence for 2 specific broods of cicadas. Since they go underground for 17 years at a time, 2 broods are going to resurface at the same time, which hasn't happened since 1803. It's in the area where Jacob is in the Midwest. So the bugs he is hearing in the background is a rare event.

[@minavane5533]

@@Jinnie559 That's alot of cicadas lol Thanks for replying.

Hi Jacob I have to hand It to you this was one of those all In all brilliant day's I am really enjoying this trip... Keep safe and well XXXXX

Love your livestreams and this Mississippi River trip is soon cool make me wanna go see these places myself hope u r doing great my friend!

[@craigholstine2154]

Good Afternoon " YA ALL " Jacob the Carpetbagger ..!!

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Ah, the memories! This tour of the Ol' Miss makes me feel as if I'd never moved away from St. Louis...and Clarksville. MO. These videos have been extra special for me; thank you Jacob. Anyway, (sigh) Clarksville is the home of the highest point along the Mississippi. The site was revered by Native people but later, it was turned into a tourist trap. There was a ski lift that would take you up, an observation tower, and a campy Western town. When I lived in Clarksville, the entire thing had been shut down due to mismanagement. When I learned that Jacob was going to do a tour of the Miss. River, I looked up Clarksville and found nothing about the old touristy site. Does anyone out there know what became of it all?

[@beeferannenewbold6796]

always go to Grafton and Alton to eagle watch in the winter

[@CarverFamily]

You talked about the macho man but man what caught my eye is that Mickey Mouse cookie jar!

[@88carnman]

Grafton illionis is also great views to see in the fall and they have a utv ride as well as the mountain coaster

[@bardog3936]

Jacob in the beginning of this video if you see the couple behind you they look frozen in time lol

[@zerxilk8169]

That was great!

[@jaypett357]

There's a maid rite in Greenville Ohio. Great loose meat sandwiches! There's always a huge line around the building

[@dianaboggs2140]

Absolutely loved this video!💜

[@madebroke7677]

Love all things Riverboat ❤

[@trevorroth]

Fun fact, the Missouri River is one mile longer than the Mississippi River. And technically, the section of the Mississippi River south of St Louis SHOULD be named the Missouri River as it is the longer branch prior to the confluence. But since the headwaters/tributaries of the Mississippi were discovered first, the name stuck.

[@jeffconn]

Jacob, loving the roadtrip. Be sure to stop in Chester, Illinois and check out the Popeye Character Trail. Spinach Can Collectibles and Museum is a fun stop there!

[@lindaskelton7258]

Awesome video!!
