Nice. Thanks for sharing

[@suethornton2055]

I love your long videos. I even went WAY BACK and caught up on a lot of your older videos. Teacher on a budget this year. Virtual vacation is AWESOME!! And keeping a list of must-see places. This being one of them!!

[@rvertv]

Thanks Sue

[@johnlenart597]

The Kodac Moment turned into a Kodac Movie Moment. I wonder if any of the youths would understand? No doubt us older folks knew and enjoyed every bit of it. I missed the local parades and was glad to see part of Grant's parade with you. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@marygrace1968]

Hi Russ, what a cool video. I wanna go there😀

[@WaltANelsonPHD]

Russ! Great parade video from Grants July 4th!

[@yragtgov]

Reminds me of the craters of the moon in Idaho. 😊

[@dorishoisington-yi3md]

Hey TIUW. LOVE LOVE LOVE your adventures. SUV Camping is my favotite thing. We bought a tent that attatches to the hatch. Still have the bed in the back of the SUV. The tent gives us room for the cat and dog, table chairs. And they can't escape. We gotbthe Napier and it has a room off the tent. Just like home😂😂😂😂

[@vernwallen4246]

[@meloneyparker]

That ice cave was amazing!

[@chrismcgill]

ahhh, gotta always love a trip through New Mexico 🤙

[@peacedove9513]

Thanks for sharing the ride..✌️💖🎼🎵🎶

[@JohnT.4321]

We, the wife and I, were very impressed with the scenic journey to Grants. The monument looked like Mount Rushmore without the human faces and the ice cave was cool...pun intended. We really enjoyed the 4th of July parade and Grants might be a possible place to live whenever the economy straightens out. We loved the whole video. Stay safe on your journey and we will be watching. 😁😁

[@emmarose7204]

Hi Russ, thank you for showing your road trips / travels. Through your vlogs me and my husband are able to go to Sedona. I am always afraid of high elevation but since i watched over and over your vlog to Sedona i was able to see how beautiful the place is and not in high elevation at all. We went and enjoyed the trip. We were able to go up the Holy Cross Chapel, see the Bell Rock, etc and walk down the shopping area. Everytime i want to go somewhere i checked your vlogs first 😂. Last place we visit is Zion National Park in Utah..

[@MerleGMott]

Thank YOU! For taking me along! Love the longer video format. More is always better with your videos, loved it.

[@kt-fl6ps]

Hi Russ, Enjoyed seeing the inscriptions on the hike. The Bandera Ice Caves were amazing. The long video format is also great because I can sit down and tune out for an hour on your adventure. The drone shots were great as always. Looking forward to the next one, safe travels.

[@richardl.7390]

Hello Russ, Route 191 North in Arizona takes you to "Canyon de Chelly" (pronounced "Canyon de Shay") and "Spider Woman Tower", a site you should explore when you come back later this year. South of Grants starts "El Malpais" (the good for nothing country), worth exploring. Magnificent desert vistas everywhere. Blue sky, tortured rock formations, peace and quiet, what could anyone ask for more ?? The local Parade brought tears to my eyes : great, simple, happy people ... RICHARD

[@dwmc1492]

Do you live in that area, Richard? My grandparents, though I did not know them very well, were owners of Garcia Trading Post. I believe there is a Holiday Inn there now.

[@richardl.7390]

@@dwmc1492 I live in Eastern Canada but I started exploring the American Southwest in 1978. Arizona and New Mexico are among my preferred States to roam about.

[@davidalfred924]

Man oh man, I was just through that area in April. Stayed a few nights in Grant at the KOA so I was able to explore a lot. BTW, the KOA was top notch. Keep on Trucking Russ!

[@rvertv]

Very cool!

[@BigRigRV]

Same here Made it from Amarillo to Grants NM. Stayed at a small mom/pop RV park. Detroit to Williams AZ. End of April.

Hello From Puerto Rico Russ

[@rodneyprimm5984]

Hi Russ, thank you for sharing ! God Bless 🙏❤️

[@gatos8566]

Awesome! It's been years since I went to Inscription Rock and the Ice Cave. Thanks for the refresher memory. My parents lived there for over 30 years, now my younger brother and his wife live there. So glad you film the parade. That brought back memories too.😊

[@SunshineAllDaywPugs]

When you walked el Morro at stop #8, there is a inscription that caught my eye because it was very nicely carved, Gilmor Breckenridge. I looked that name up- P. Gilmer Breckinridge P. (Peachy) Breckinridge was the man in charge of the 25 camels used by Lieutenant Beale in 1857. After his work with Beale, Breckinridge returned to his home state of Virginia and fought in the Civil War. He was killed during a skirmish at Kennon's Landing, Virginia, in 1863.

[@bonnieclyne5618]

Amazing video! The ice cave was incredible! Wow! Greetings from central Florida. Thanks for another terrific video.

[@pauladams7344]

A wondrous throwback to a more innocent age !

[@patgalvez4563]

i love ice caves in the summer...

[@susanwarren5857]

I hope you'll swing back north and visit Chama! Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad is a must see. Northern NM is stunning - Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch, Echo Amphitheater and more. There's a beautiful, shady RV park right next to the railroad tracks. Chase the train! Definitely back roads and small town!

[@robertjean659]

Great vid Russ. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@zerxilk8169]

We need to fix the rest of the country like this. Show that we care.

[@goodoakpress]

The mountains in northern New Mexico remind me of what the area around Flagstaff used to look like back when I was a kid. Unspoiled and very few people. As soon as you mentioned the BBQ at the KOA I got hungry. Love BBQ, so I hope you took them up on their offer.

[@henryzabel1746]

I wish to thank you for all the work that goes into filming and editing . We used to travel a fair amount , but wife has been unable for the last 7 years . I get to virtually travel , thanks to you .

I recently bought some land not too far from the ica caves, but haven't been out to visit it yet. Great video of the parade. Small town America is the best

[@randygyulay5114]

I do enjoy the longer format videos. Someone has invested money in the city of Grants. The last time we drove through, all that was there was a Pizza Hut and a little historic 66 signpost.

Hey Russ, loving your format this year with longer videos. Wising you a great trip for the 2023 summer

[@shirleycedillo1589]

Hey Russ, thanks for this beautiful video. Never been to that part of NM. Talked to a lady a week ago who rented a Sprinter and got some info on them. That's what I want to do when I get relocated to the Phoenix area. In Colorado now and will be watching for that famous RVERTV van of yours on the western slope of CO. Love the longer videos too. Keep on truckin' buddy.Stay Cool!!
