Wow the scenery is so gorgeous..and those vast mountains so majestic! Thanks for taking us along, safe travels SLR!

[@laobeau]

Loved traveling along. The first time I went to 4 corners it was the metal plate in the ground surrounded by Navajo Indian booths (wood and canvas) with rickety tables selling their wares. I have a vase here in my living room that I purchased there. Also was a little blue and white bubble camping trailer with a Navajo lady Navajo fry tacos. She fried them up inside (I can't imagine the temp as this was in August) and then assembled them on a paper plate on a table outside. I think they were a dollar each. One of the best I have had however! It's changed so much now, I wouldn't recognize it. I think the dryness of the desert helps to preserve those old homesteads and structures. Here in the Midwest, they would mold, rot and fall down in a relatively short time...not to mention the hard winter effects of snow. Thanks again for sharing!!!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

What an AWESOME trip guy's have a wonderful vacation! God Bless you guy's!

[@bpatton3671]

May I suggest, joining your local library, once you do, you can check out audiobooks. Most times all on line, not even going to the library to check them out or return them! The world is the limit of your selections! AND. It's All free! ❤❤

[@OurMountainHome316]

We love audio books. Thanks to our library, we get them all for free. Audiobooks are our favorite thing to listen to while driving.

[@aquiltingmama]

Gary, you a phenomenal Dad! You take such good care of your loved ones. Mel and the children are blessed indeed. Nice video of your family trip. Safe travels wherever you go.

[@lorilarkin827]

Thanks for the beautiful scenery. I never been to the USA, so I love the travels without the travel legs and sore butt. 🤣😅🫶🇨🇦

[@buydirectusa4954]

I've never seen the look of elation on someone's face over a burger until now 😂. Hope you all had a great time.

[@angeladouthitt8837]

Well, I've been following the Grainger Smith KZbin videos of his and his wife's trip to Israel touring the Holy Land. I've felt like I was right there with them. And now...I'm taking a trip with y'all out west and I feel like I'm right there with you. So fun! Thanks for taking me along! The farthest west I've been - in real life - is Branson, Missouri.

[@butchbrown3130]

Beautiful and thanks so much for sharing. I'll also always have a love for the desert/mountains but SW Louisiana is home.

[@lumilight8229]

Happy travels. Thank you for taking us along. A1 editing as per usual Mel.

[@annettemaddalone4297]

if your headed to utah watch out for the snow stroms there

[@bpatton3671]

When I was in the Navy and Stationed in San Diego, I went home to pick up a 1956 4 door hardtop Chevy! I drove route 66 from Springfield, Missouri! Down through Oklahoma and down the Southern Route to San Diego!

[@garyseitz6133]

Thank you Gary and Mel for taking us along on your venture. God bless and stay safe and enjoy

[@johnpiper82]

Thanks for allowing us to share your journey! If you could please use your remote head mics you use on your hats. They are so much better in all your photo inviorments. Love to all!

[@territhreet]

Your trip brought back tons of memories. Thanks for the road trip. ❤😊

[@adamzimmerman7234]

Hey Mel you was drooling before you ate the hamburger as in you and Gary's eyes roll back in the head when you took a bite

[@carolynklenk8467]

Four corners is a sacred place where were told to gather if things get real dicy in the future!! Its nice to see it in person from your video!! Stay safe and happy travels!! ❤ Mamma Carolyn

[@cliffpalmer8274]

Amazing scenery, thanks for sharing, much love from the UK to your family xXx

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Mel and Gary and Family be safe Guys ❤❤ ❤❤❤ Have Fun 🤩

[@shellydunn9710]

Thanks for taking us on your road trip. I’ve never been west so it’s cool to see other areas of the states.

[@bpatton3671]

Thank you for the views, you all were wonderful! ❤❤

[@ryankelly5303]

I HOPE YOU ENJOYING GARY’S FAMILY REUNION.

[@marydingus4360]

Gary u deserve a good sleep after all that long drive! I couldn't do it!❤

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

The plains are tougher than the rest, last time I went anywhere significant, I drove from about Oklahoma City, to Casper Wyoming without stopping for more than fuel. Was almost 18 hours. I don't know if I could do that again, that was ages ago now 😂

[@hallenw]

Looking at your boy… and a song keeps running through my head… “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth…” 🎶 🎵 😂

[@kathywood2721]

Welcome to my beautiful State. I have been following you since you started building your cabin home. Be safe and enjoy your vacation...❤

[@kathycollins5334]

All jokes aside..My eyes teared up watching your face at the In an Out!! 4 years ago...

[@lindatremblay2445]

So beautiful, thanks for sharing.

[@richardchiriboga4424]

Yay road trip!!!!

[@SueWagner-f9t]

Hi Mel Gary & kids!! I’m loving traveling along with you all. The views are stunning! I lived in Louisiana for 2 1/2 years a long time ago but never got to see much. Keep enjoying your trip and stay safe!! 💜

[@Strangepotatos]

So happy you guys could come over! (This is sidney by the way.)

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Love you Sid 💚💚 Was so good to see you honey. We love you!

[@treysgranty5643]

I believe it's going to be in Nashville Tn. That's what we hear. ❤ from Tennessee!!!

[@daniloevalla6875]

a good day greetings from the Philippines!!!

[@CamillaMosley-zp6pr]

YES ...IN & OUT

[@willowbug8186]

I love seeing the relationship your family has with each other. It is very heartwarming, and just makes me smile.

[@temahenoniania6623]

Well deserved holiday Gary and Mel and family enjoy yourselves

[@jeb3415]

What a wonderful adventure for your family. Memories for life. Our family traveled by car to nearly every continental state sometimes it was camping, or hotels or staying with family. We are blessed to live in a beautiful country and with God’s grace it will be great again. Safe travels and thanks for sharing.

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Beautiful travels. I got to drive home to Missouri one year, with my mom & stepdad, drove from So. CA to New Mexico in 8 hours I think. Stayed there for a week then onward to MO. It was mostly on the 40, beautiful drive. Hope your having fun with family!

[@Aldean555]

Hey thanks guys for the great video, I’m a new subscriber and I’m from New Mexico. Glad ya’ll get to see NM and the 4 corners. Safe travels and see you soon ❤🙏

[@geraldselvidge9836]

Hope you're enjoying your vacation. You made a comment about some electric trucks. You saw about burning gas and diesel. They would burn the same gas and diesel to supply the electric date for your washer and dryer. And all the other electrical clients is an amazing United States. I believe people have a choice. If you want to drive electric which I do and I save $5000 a year in gas should be, you know.Your choice if you prefer to spend the five thousand on gas

[@jeniferpollonais6546]

Wonderful video! I feel like I’m on the trip with you guys! Thank you for taking us along! That burger looks like it could be heaven on earth! Yummm!

[@TheWoodHaven]

You guys are so close to me. I'm about 30 minutes south of Saratoga Springs. Edit: Maybe 40.

[@benschmid2768]

Love the video and superb visuals.hi from 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@jerrybailey6584]

I love the kids reaction when they go to a hotel or motel. My grandkids acted like that had never been out of their house. Enjoy❤

[@chandrasutton4669]

Sorry, I like Smashburger better, but being a Texan, I like Whataburger best of all!!×😊🎉❤

[@packy57]

We finally got Whataburger here in Kansas City. Used to eat them in Houston for years. Sorry but to my taste In n Out is better.

[@pearlymae5705]

Ok i had to pause @ 18:59 . The veiws so far is amazing . Thank you for sharing it with us ! ❤

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

In & Out Burger is the first place my sister takes me when she picks me up from the Las Vegas airport. Last year I had zero desire for this trip as the the last time I went, it was not as good as I remembered. Maturing palette I reckon

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

I love In and Out Burgers 🍔 ❤

[@Betsy-sp7jr]

Thank you all for sharing the trip. Brings back memories . Be safe. After thought...burgers looked yummy ❤❤❤❤

[@melodyhopponen7504]

NO JELLY FOR MELANIE! high fructose in it. VERY BAD FOR GOUT. have fun you guys.

[@marycook9607]

Road lunches are the best. Safe travels. ❤❤

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

100% I have so many good memories with my family growing up, roaming around, stopping to make a sandwich and grab some chips. Good times

[@sarashaw3901]

From a mountain dweller (at 6,150’ elevation) in New Mexico, I know your travel route oh so well! Thankful your short time in Albuquerque was restful and uneventful. My youngest son lives in Utah, and have taken the same route, with 3 of my grandbabies! It’s a very beautiful and desolate area. Safe travels!

[@darlenevjohnson5237]

I saw the four coners in 1984. Looks more built up now. Back then Native Americans were selling jewelry and not so many buildings.

[@SeeLionsInTX]

That was smart to bring food to eat on the road. Fast food (with the exception of In-N-Out Burger 🍔) is way too expensive and lacking nutrition. I loved PB&J with chips as a kid. We didn't have the money to buy food out. I preferred homemade food anyway. ❤

[@debflores9971]

Always watching, warms my heart to see west coast familiar things,like In & Out, 7-11, snowboarding. ❤

[@rkwilson262]

Safe travels my friends. I wish you well on your coming back home. By the by, The teacher in me says, Moriarty. Is pronounced Mori Artay. And Tucumcari is pronounced Two come Carrie. Ahhhhhh. A+. Be safe friends.

[@carlapierle8623]

Enjoying the scenery from the cornfields of Indiana! The kids are such good little passengers! I went to the Albuquerque ballon festival in the late 90's and it was absolutely amazing!! I was like a little kid oohing and aahing at the spectacle. My first time eating at In & Out was in 2016 and I was hooked! I bet we ate there twice a day the entire time visiting California! Enjoy!!

[@bobteague4681]

In and Out burgers are great but next time you are in Russellville find What-A-Burger. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

[@karenbrest187]

HELLO 🤗 what an awesome trip so far- we stay at Hiltons alot & so nice 😉 those burgers looked scrumptious 😋 safe travels 🙏🇺🇸🪻🌷

[@paulotts]

1:16 That phone caddy on your dash looks like the site on a rifle... Aim true, folks. When I was driving through the same general area (leaving Az.) with my wife and kid I was driving a brand-new Ford Maverick (one of the first off, the line) ... yeah, that long ago. I had to stop several times on one of the road rises (a relatively low-rise ratio) because that little car had to cool down. But we got to see some marvelous country on that trip before I had to report at Ft. Ord.

[@carmenfringer4740]

Been to Jackass Joe's. Do they still have Jerky of all kinds including exotic meats? Definitly a fun place to stop.

[@davidroot9406]

Great framerly fun! If you guys got the time hit Oregon Coast. It's beautiful!!!

[@paulhoneyman6923]

Great video Mel. Safe travels and I pray you all have a great time catching up with Gary's family and at the Wedding.

[@benschmid2768]

Home is where your heart is. Hi🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

I’ve been to 4 corners USA but it was open, no seats, no shade, no shopping there before. It was over 20 years ago.

[@kayramage5048]

Yall are about 2 hours north of me. I live about 15 mile east of New Mexico border.

[@larryfeeks6620]

Great scenery! Gotta love a road trip.

[@waderue]

ya see I am like Gary I love to drive at night and over the night because I know the safety of my family is in my hands and need to keep them safe and because I work overnight for years it is not hard for me to do

[@susankirksey3570]

I’m from the dessert West Texas ! I live in Mobile , Al ! I love it out there.. the openness

[@turyjordan3827]

So you never said why you left the cabin and went back to the desert???

[@PattyPrice-tl7bc]

Thank you for taking us with you i love seeing the old sites and bew ones along the way. ❤ Cant wait till you get on into Utah

[@blindaedwards9528]

Such beautiful scenery...great trip❤❤❤

[@RubyMcgilvra]

I've been through there a few times when I was delivering campers

[@christinestephenson1742]

EastTexas is pretty with lots of green and big trees but still wide open spaces. I hope you don't have to drive anywhere near Dallas because the congestion there can really put you behind and mess you up. It really isn't until we'll west of Abilene before Texas gets like desert. New Mexico is a whole lot of nothing! Chris from Central Texas

[@Jean-sh3xu]

❤ thanks for the ride 👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻

[@Karen-Arizona]

Where we live we have a IN - OUT 2 miles from our house 👍 I personally can’t think of any place that has a better burger - I’m glad you got to experience it - it can be very addicting 😂😂 trust me I know

[@johnogan2386]

Yeah Idaho finally got an in and out so we got it we're Uptown Funk too

[@andy9322]

Try p45 for your skin better than vasaline

[@dharmy2996]

You passed right by my place near Albuquerque. Was so excited. Have a very happy trip. You said you were stopping for baseline because of the dryness but Vaseline has petroleum. I recommend castor oil. It keeps you young and it’s natural and good for so many things. Have fun beautiful family. Be blessed. 🙏♥️✨

[@CCRider5312]

Mel I laughed so Hard at you and the fly! The Arkansas Fly 🌳 who found himself in the Desert 🌵🤣. I bet he was like where the Hell am I & where’s the Pecker 🐓 palace? Then with his tongue 👅 hanging out and for God’s Sake where the hell is Some water in this God forsaken place ??? 😂🤣🤣 That would be a funny kid’s book 📚 “THE ARKANSAS FLY WHO FOUND HIMSELF IN THE DESERT” Then he finally hitches a ride in a cattle truck back home to Arkansas to the 41.36 ! 🤣🤣

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Hahahahaha!! I love this!!! 💚💚🐿️

[@annettemaddalone4297]

welcome to colorful colorado thats where i live

[@Swtspirit]

Beautiful Scenery Safe Travels Y’all

[@marykey5813]

Beautiful sites

[@bpatton3671]

My problem was that the ignition could be heard through the radio! I tried a radio in the backseat, but couldn't afford all the batteries needed. Driving by myself, I did not think I would ever get across New Mexico and Arizona! Love your video, but never again for me! ❤❤

[@BpGardening]

That is really beautiful Wow a great site to see.😊

[@seanclark7783]

I drove just over 500 miles yesterday

[@KarenAnthony-cv6qj]

[@evalinawarne1337]

We were at4. CORNERS JULY 1973. There was a couple who had a pet leopard on a dog chain. Friendly, she let us pet her. I'll have to get the pictures out. In and out. I loved the onion rings with extra salt. I'm enjoying my ride with you. Thanks. SE MICHIGAN ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jamesgraves6567]

just a quick question.... how are the pot holes on I-40??? heading your way for the forth year in a row....from your ole stomping grounds Kingman,.....lol

[@colleenbrookes-gain6662]

It's Saturday 16 March in South Africa. And for the fun of it I tracked your journey on Google maps, while watching your vid... What an interesting journey. I will probably never visit USA but with technology today.. It felt like I was there. Thanks guys. Travel safe 🇿🇦

[@sheilaross3043]

Im from New Mexico Really enjoyed the video. Hope your vacation was amazing.

[@TrulyYours88]

Wow !! Gorgeous country. There’s a couple fellow KZbinrs in Utah -Trent and Allie , in the mountains out of Salt Lake City and Life Elevated in southern Utah. Be so great if you all could meet up. Have a great trip.

[@deborahvarnadore2720]
