I lived in North Dakota for 12 years in my 20’s. It will forever hold A special place in my heart. There is just something about the people and the scenery. Most of all I miss the people “North Dakota Nice” is the saying and it’s 100% true some of the best people I have ever met in my entire life.

[@justinmarr6624]

you had some long 20s hahaha

[@curtisstrand706]

The artists name is Gary Greff, a very nice gentleman who has a dream of keeping his home area alive. A man with an enormous dream. Keep the dream going Gary.

[@robertschuler850]

I miss ND. Was raised and lived there for 40 years. The people are the best people you could hope for!

[@okiejammer2736]

I'm LOVING this Norrh Dakota episode. What a great ambassador and travel guide you are, Russ. Thank you much. Definitely, a must-see state!

[@paulsupronojr.4976]

Served in the United States Air Force at Minot Air Force Base, bout 12 miles north of the town, of Minot. Primary mission - Inter Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) & B-52 Bomber - both atomic varients. I served in a helicopter detachment - primary mission was to serve the 91st Missile Wing. 🇺🇸

[@terrymertz1923]

We have had almost 50 inches of snow and it's -8 degrees as I watch this. I hope you enjoyed our state Russ! Thanks!

[@unitedstatesdale]

Hi Terry , I want to move there.

[@shellyrusek8035]

Love, love, love these 2 hour "documentaries". I remember watching Lawrence Welk. I love the giant statues.

[@suepeterson163]

I agree

[@suzy9342]

Ann. Thank you for sharing this great historical spot with us🙏🏼😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@okiejammer2736]

Well, I'll be. THE WELK HOMESTEAD is not something I'd imagine still 'being there', but yes - certainly a part of many of our lives. Really cool. 'Ah one anda two!'

[@lloydbaker6988]

HELLO RVerTV Russ, Thanks for another amazing Ride along .TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL. 👍

[@rvertv]

Thanks for watching!

[@angieknott6188]

Thanks for taking me along. I live in Texas.

[@patd4u2]

He had a restaurant on the old Highway 395 in Southern California between Escondido and Temecula in the early 70's I remember watching his TV show, had a bubble machine at the beginning of the show..

[@topher7720]

You have a very blessed life. I'll soon to be 60 in January working my butt off 12 hours a day in this tractor trailer to hopefully be able to do what you're doing in a couple years or so. Life is too short to just be alive and not experience life itself. By the way loved the highway 50 tour that was really good

[@1jonandmax]

I loved your North Dakota road trip. I lived there in my youth and still consider North Dakota my home state.

[@Latnman101]

I absolutely love riding with you!

[@deidrabaker6648]

Wow you keep mentioning Quartzsite. It's so funny to me . I lived in Ehrenberg Arizona and loved Quartzsite. 1998 and 1999. That mountain is the most beautiful pink and purple in the morning. Every day my daughter and I woke up early to see the sunrise ... you can't even put it into words the beauty of it all. Ehrenberg has grown up now. There was only one small trailer park there when I lived in it. There were about 20 trailers and only half of them were filled. God I loved that place.

[@okiejammer2736]

Oh, simply OUTSTANDING! 💚

[@relyhgg]

My wife & I watched many,many,many ,of his shows on TV, & listened to the Champagne music 😍😪

[@robert7365]

das war ja wirklich Spitze eure 5Tage Reise, werde sie weiter empfehlen

[@rambug99]

Wow 🎧😎 I'm from Georgia and I called the talking point numbers and followed along as you drove along the Enchanted Hwy.

[@dsquare3703]

I watched Lawrence Welk with my Grandma. It was a fabulous show Yes the accordion and Ball room dancing. Beautiful Show. Lots of fun.

[@unitedstatesdale]

Thanks for showing me places I will never see in person. You make it special

[@rickolson3114]

I'm from Grand forks ND... It's like going back in time, great people. Welk was my grandmothers second cousin.

[@oldscout80]

I think they used mostly coal for heat back then. Trees are few and far between in N.D.! I had to shovel coal as a kid in south Fargo in the early 50's. My Dad had to haul water in two new garbage cans he bought for that purpose when our hand pumps froze up. I had 1 brother and 7 sisters. Lawrence Welk played on WDAY Radio. I remember us all dancing and singing to it! Dad played banjo.

[@dianecopeland6009]

What a lovely journey. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@daveholte7658]

Thanks for the video on Strausburg ND When you mentioned it and seen the first road knew the area I visited the Welk Farm a few years back and was met by a huge hailstorm and had to take shelter in the entry way of the home with one of the volunteers Who would have ever thought he would be the maker of Champagne Music Thanks for all your videos of capturing the-back roads of these states

[@tangie777uk]

So very beautiful

[@BillGreenAZ]

I believe the boys slept in the top floor and the only way to get there was by those steps on the outside of the house. Can you imagine going to bed when the temps were below 20 degrees below zero and the northwest wind was whipping across that lake?

[@mariemorgan7759]

My mom used to watch Lawrence Welk show every Sunday! She especially loved the dancing.In the 1970s, I found the dancing and music so old fashioned compared to the pop music I listened to. Today I am a big fan of Big Band music!

[@gregprince2523]

Rustifer..... I hauled the big windmill hubs up that road many times and always took that detour on the enchanted highway on the way back empty.... So many cool things to see and remember!! Just good ole small town America!! Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota... wonderful folks!!

[@barbarawhittall2311]

Thank you enjoyed the Enchanted Highway of North Dakota!!!

[@janetallen5846]

I remember N.D. well. Beautiful in summer but you won't get me back there in winter. I lived through 7 yrs. there and just can not take the winters. Thanks for the memories.

[@jimbridge4166]

Great video. Thanks, Russ

[@rvertv]

Thanks for watching!

[@keith01956]

[@Guokas0422]

Very cool. Every Saturday growing up we went to my Grandmothers and after dinner she would have Lawrence Welk on...I didn't know he was from North Dakota. Thx.

[@HOBOTECH]

Fantastic work, Russ! I ended up watching every minute of this with anticipation. I really enjoy these long format travel videos. 👍

[@rvertv]

Thanks Tom

[@susanbrogan2517]

All these museums have a wow factor. Pretty cool for North Dakota.

[@kevinh.w.crabbe8748]

[@puspairianimanurung1399]

That was awesome seeing my hometown Strasburg ND. It’s been many years.

[@philipcollins5440]

This was quite interesting and I'm glad I watched it all 😃

[@shawnmeyer2788]

My grandparents planned their Saturday evening around Lawrence Welk, totally couldn’t miss it.

[@kt-fl6ps]

Thanks Russ for this great video. I want to wish you a happy birthday for tomorrow with 12 months of happiness, 52 weeks of health and 365 days of safe travel. K from Toronto

[@inspireaspire278]

Elaborate visit indeed. Missed 'Dakota' aeroplane, that could fit in the motor museum. Massive machine I witnessed in my early days roaring noisy engine.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋Hello Russ! I enjoyed seeing the Lawrence Welk Homestead. Beautiful place. I liked watching it with my Grandparents while growing up.👍

[@kevinh.w.crabbe8748]

This is so beautiful to see all of his work on the road scrap metal art work he done back then for us to see that way I’m so proud to say he sure knew how to make it look like what he made all through that stretch of the highway that way

[@glamperjan]

[@kalicokathy1944]

I enjoyed visiting family in N.D. but being from Northern Wisconsin I couldnt live there without trees

[@garyhanson4133]

I loved this. My grandmother grew up in Litchville, and she said Lawrence would come and play at their dance. My grandad ran steam powered thresher back then

[@jennifergonzales3164]

I worked in the Bowman area in 2012 for 6 months and drove up to Medora and played Bully Pulpit golf course and it's beautiful. Good good people up in N.D❤

[@waltbury]

My wife grandparents were Germans from Russia. Her grandfather deserter the russian army and came to Canada then to US.

[@craigr.richardson9934]

As was my grandparents, Germans from Russia. I was told grandparents had homestead close by the Welk homestead. Afterwards grandparents settled in Karlrue, ND.

[@kevinh.w.crabbe8748]

[@mitzioden4926]

It was all nice but I liked the Montana part the best. #29!

[@gregprince2523]

Thanks Russ! I've sat on that overlook bench in Wakashita... those views will always be in my memories and there has never been many folks there ... peaceful

[@tracymeskel2839]

My father used to sing with Lawrence Welk.”, During the summer barn dances. In North and South Dakota. Before he made it big.

[@ohwell2790]

My first car was a 1936 Plymouth bought for $75.00 and gas was 36 cents a gallon when in high school, San Luis Obispo CA. Those where the days. I made $7 dollars a week. Mowing lawns for a dollar with a push mower and was glad to do it.

[@yuma5745]

Can't believe I watched the whole thing, enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Russ.

[@kevinh.w.crabbe8748]

Well we thank you for your service doing all the driving for us here in southern Alberta, Canada seen all that beautiful country and all the beautiful artwork all through that run. You just went through on

[@rvertv]

Thanks 👍

[@marlenedobson-eo1dw]

WOW 🤩,, Best Museum North Dakota,, visiting is definitely today ,, Awesome Feel like on Vacation of ( 3 ) States 👍🏻

[@martinkennard1669]

What a wonderful video you have created of my home state. I grew up at the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers. I spent my life working on the Missouri River powerplants. My wife and I shall watch for further videos. A good videographer you are.

[@rvertv]

thank you

[@scottjohnson9225]

I remember trick or treating in deep snow and sometimes easter eggs in snow.

[@shirleyc7175]

Lawrence Welk was the reason my mom made me take accordion lessons. Never did master it.

[@tomthatcher7757]

Thank you very much 😊. Very well done 👏. I really enjoyed it. It was NOT too long.

[@frankfitz3421]

Good memories of N. D.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

Nice to see this! I visited long ago, before the state took over, and it was starting to look a little dilapidated. I remember him on PBS. My father had more direct memories of him. The generation that grew up in this world is dying off. If you know someone of that age, it's very much worth talking to them!

[@maryconnor4576]

These cars even make Jay Leno jealous I bet!!!!!!

[@shirleygrass6068]

One of the most enjoyable trips I have taken in my recliner. Thanks so much.

[@mikellofgren201]

Wonderful presentation Russ! Glad you didn't get 'et by no cougars at that marvelous site! Thanks and Stay Safe 😊

[@kevinh.w.crabbe8748]

We are sure are enjoying this thank you brother for taking the time to do all this on here

[@rvertv]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@pilierofq]

Love your 5-day trips!!! Thanks so much!!

[@joemiles6917]

As always Russ, you do a great job. Again enjoyed your video.

[@stephend.mixell2042]

Hi again Russ. Wow!! I will never stop saying that for all the places I have seen thanks to your travels. Lawrence Welk yes, I did indeed watch him with my folks back in the days. Never forget him saying one and a two and off they went with the show. It's funny how states have the same names for towns, Her in Pa we have a Strasburg also they have a train Museum there and a real nice Steam Engine ride out through the Pa Dutch country farms.We also have some fantastic Auto Museums in the area. Lots to see in Pa and I really need to go see more of it. Enough of me blabbing and thanks again for sharing. Safe travels and good health.

[@piushorning4869]

I don't know if you will ever see this comment but Lawrence Welk was a childhood friend of my Dad's. I have never been to the Welk home but Lawrence was at my home. He and his main guy from the show was with him. Wish I could remember the year. In one of the buildings you showed a sit on grinding wheel. I still have my Dad's wheel, it's in my flower garden in front of my house. My Dad used to help the Welk's with the harvest. My Dad had a large team of horses he would bring over and the Welk's would help my Dad's with their harvest. Yes the Welks were from russia. My dad was born on the ship coming over to america. there was a large German settlement at Odessa Russia and that is where they were all from, even my Mom's parents came from there and they all spoke German, in fact my parents talked German with Lawrence when he was at my parents home. And yes we watched the L Welk show every week on TV. it was a must. I am glad you did this portion of the video so I could see where my Dad hung out with the Welk's. some of the small town's I heard you mention were hang outs for my dad and his friends. brought back a good memory of my folks, I heard a lot of stories from back there. I now live in Oregon. I was born in Bismarck and my dad came out here to work at the army depot. some times I wonder what my life would have turned out if he had stayed back there and raised wheat. I think the cold got to them

[@mikehamilton4826]

Thanks Russ for sharing this awesome adventure!! Now I need to go visit North Dakota for sure! Keep up the great content sir!💙

[@paulhutcheson2947]

This your best video ever. Loved the old cars and the scenery is great, too.

[@marendelllincks9195]

Hi Russ! Hey, thank you I've been thinking of going north and doing this exact trip and this and all your other videos are so cool and informative. They really get me inspired. I have been working on my 2007 Fird Focus, converting it for the road. It's in tip top shape and it gets over 35 miles to the gallon. I hope to see you out there somewhere.👍😁 Thanks again and Keep on Truckin!

[@ibkhansen8036]

[@cherylpearson1963]

If you get a chance to come to Northwest Minnesota. You should visit a pretty little town called Red Lake Falls. We have Riverside park and Sportsmans park where you can camp and we have a hotel as well. Town size is about 1500 poeple
