The STRANGEST Roadside Attractions in Middle America (RV Life)

[@AwayToMeBus]

Little trick with recall for Trinity is to run the opposite direction and playfully yell "here Trin!" make it a game of her catching you vs the other way around. I start with toys or treats with stubborn dogs. Great video guys!

[@OpenRoading]

100% That's how I got her to come back to the RV in the beginning of the vid (Not shown). -J

[@iTellaThePun]

Those sculptures are amazing pieces of folk art. 100% respect to the extraordinary (and probably eccentric) artist.

[@OpenRoading]

As much as I have fun - the incredible amount of work that had to go to planning, building, and installing them. Just wow! -J

[@ssrankine3449]

Wackiest thing in Wall Drugs? Maybe Joseph walking through the store holding the camera whispering " looking for something wacky, looking for something wacky" qualifies. And Trinity is surely a wise puppy. She knows her limits on the trail. Great video. We've been here. Fun attraction for sure.

[@mariaperham1851]

The key chain was wackier. My husband says your hubby did not cheat, he was being resourceful. 😅

[@laurataylor999]

Totally the wine bottle holder for the win! It was wacky and kind of creepy too. But the key chain the EMPLOYEE found (for Joesph) was a good try. That climb was sketchy! Glad you didn’t get hurt. Love how much fun you’re having.

[@OpenRoading]

Hey! Did you have to throw me under the bus like that? 😂 -J

[@k-mparker]

Great video guys!!! You’re exactly right, there are tooooo many places to see in this country!!! Wine bottle holder is the winner winner seafood dinner!!! Don’t know if you guys have ever been to Galleto Meadows in Borrego Springs, CA, but there is a collection of over 130 animal metal sculptures within about a 5 mile or so radius. The largest is a 350 ft long serpent or sea dragon which is most impressive!!! We boondocked for a few days there 2 years ago in Anza Borrego Desert State Park…loved it!!! 👍😃🍻

[@badgerpa9]

Had coffee and pie at Wall drug about 10 years ago, both were awesome. It is good Trin knows the truck means she needs to run and go pee, get some energy out. Very glad to see she has put on a little weight, she no longer looks like an abused puppy mill mother, you guys are doing awesome with her. Parenting is never easy. If you are heading east on Interstate 90 when you get to LaCrosse take Highway 14 to Madison, the scenery is worth it. When I would come back on Interstate 94 I would take highway 190 south off Interstate 94 and head through LaCrosse to get to Highway 14. Hope you guys stay safe and healthy.

Trinity is such a sweetheart! 🐕 We love wacky attractions! We'll never complain about those! 😊

You have become my favourite RV,s show online. Just keeping it real, well done guys , look forward to your next video. Thankyou Aussie Fan 💜

The wine holder is my pick for wackiest item! I like its funky/clever take on a mundane item. The keychain is cute too though.

I do like your definition there. Funny/clever take on a mundane item. Love it. Even though... you voted the wrong way on it. 😂 -J

My fiancee and I are older, and we adore you two. I can't wait until you get south. She can't travel with me, because her mom is 101 years old, and lives with her. You're a good man, Joseph. That is rare these days.

Trinity got the zoomies!!! 😂 as I’m sure you guys know try not to chase - stand there and just say treat and hold the treat in your hand and maybe she’ll come back more quickly?? But regardless, we all just love seeing Trinity and her awesome eyebrow color!! great video you both

[@OpenRoading]

Trin loves running full out. She's quite fast too! -J

[@shannondaring]

I was with Kalyn and expected some eye popping with the keychain. The wine holder made me laugh out loud, so I guess it won the wacky award. 😅 I always love a good scramble so your backyard exploration was right up my alley, or gully.

[@OpenRoading]

Haha! I think laughing out loud is a good gauge for how wacky something is! -J

[@MrYoup11]

If you run out spots in the USA, you can go to the Canadian Badlands, it's about a hour and a half drive Northeast of Calgary, Alberta. The main attraction is the town of Drumheller where the giant Dinosaur museum of fossils and skeleton statues from actual Dinosaurs.

[@deborahreneelewis7280]

A good way to train her is get a 15 to 20 foot lead. It will work better than the extend lead because there will to be any tension. It will be loose so she will feel freer. You also might want to look into getting a GPS tracker on her. She is such a good dog. Just love her.

[@debraisola9037]

My husband says Fisherman's Dream #1 💚 Safe travels 🙌🙌 God's peace O love the Eyeballs!!

Gonna give it to Joseph. Popping eyestalk buffalo was a good mix of localness(is that a word?), cuteness, and creepiness :) Love the pheasants, something about giant birds just gets me lol

One thing we couldn't capture right at the Pheasant artwork was the wind whipping through the mesh gave off a really cool sound! -J

[@hopefulhope9123]

Trinity trusts you guys so much and her crawling on her belly down those rocks was just precious❤ if I had to vote for the rockiest thing I think it would be the one the wine bottle holder but they were both great but the dog with the eyeballs popping out I seen that one several times throughout different stores so I don't think it's quite as unique like the dog upside down holding a bottle of wine

[@WilliamMassey-j5c]

Now this was a great episode!!! Really enjoyed all the stops you made. The dog wine holder was the wacky winner.

[@davidperham897]

I vote for the wine bottle holder. You have found the wackiest road & drug store on 1 trip. Way to go. Trim likes to explore on her own. ❤🇨🇦 Cdn. Dave

[@brittmoore1557]

Camping at the Wall was our first big trip and we loved it! Also the 5 cent coffee at Wall Drug was very good!

[@jbjlock26]

We’ve been to Wall Drug twice in the past twenty years or so, and boondocked at the Wall the last time. You missed out not having a meal at the cafe! Beyond the normal burgers and fries, the hot beef sandwich special is outstanding and underrated! I had it both times! Inexpensive and good! They even serve cheap beer when you want something more than ice water! Also of interest, the young people working there come from all over the world to spend their summers there and learning the language and culture!

[@_LikeATumbleweed]

Very entertaining. You guys crack me up.

I'm happy you are safe and not hurt from falling. Trinity is so lucky to have you both. She looks so healthy , but I have to know how much weight has she gain since you have welcomed her to your family? She looks awesome . ❤

I've been to Wall Drug. Ate there - food okay; had the $.05 coffee - not bad; bought a very nice western shirt - still wear it often. Wall dug is an okay place and your right , it's easy to get lost there. I really liked the dog wine bottle holder. Kalyn gets my vote.

[@hopefulhope9123]

You all put in so much work with her she is blessed that you guys found her and then you give her a loving caring adventurous life ❤ I have a German shepherd and a Belgian Malinois and to teach them to come command I would make them sit and stay set the leash down on the ground like just a 6-foot leash and then tell her to stay walk away and each time you do it you can go a little bit further a little bit further out from her and then tell her to come and then reward her with a little treat like they make duck jerky for dogs it's at Walmart or anywhere and I just tear it up into tiny pieces and keep those pieces always with me that way when she comes give her a little piece of a treat for her reward for coming when called and also whatever command you want to use if you want to say here Trinity or come Trinity but just have one command you could even do this with a long long tie out thing and then use it as a tool to bring her closer to you if she's not doing the command I don't know if any of that makes sense

[@juanitasellshouses]

You missed the best part of Wall Drug...the donuts!! We've made a point to go that way four times just to get the donuts! The museum is worth an afternoon too. I loved the enchanted highway. It's definitely on our list of places to visit. Thanks for the video!

[@OpenRoading]

Unfortunately donuts usually have dairy ingredients that mess Kalyns stomach up. 😪 -J

[@juanitasellshouses]

@OpenRoading Well bummer! Next time we're there I'll ask if they contain dairy. I'm sure you aren't alone and if no dairy, they need to definitely advertise that!

After 2 years and over $1000 invested in training my dog to “come” reliably, I finally hired a trainer to teach me to use an e-collar properly. I was SO opposed to the idea, but it’s been the best training decision I ever made. After a short amount of training, I almost never have to buzz her and she has been 100% reliable about coming when called for about a year now-even when chasing rabbits or squirrels. She gets to run and burn off energy and I don’t have to worry. ❤🐾

[@ToddM452]

I wouldn’t have ventured down in there. Rattle snakes! You guys out venturing on that loose hillside crazy.

[@OpenRoading]

We are crazy from time to time. We've come across some rattle snakes in our travels - none yet in SD but I know they are there. Rattlesnakes fall under one of those categories for me where the fear outshines the actual statistics. Don't get me wrong - I don't want to get bit (can't stand snakes!) and I'm going to be cautious, but the actual chances of getting bit are super slim. Some quick googling shows me that in the state of South Dakota 160 people were hospitalized over the course of 11 years due to snake bites. Now there's no organized tracking data so let's be generous and double that number and it's 29 people per year, for the entire state. So... statistically I should be more afraid of getting injured in a car crash (141 traffic fatalities in 2020 in SD) than a snake bite. Just my (unsolicited) unique way of looking at things 😂 -J

[@TrishBenedict]

My husband had coffee there. He described it as "office coffee". You know, that thin stuff you find in offices, car dealerships, break rooms that sits around all day. Actually Walls' doesn't sit around because they have such a high turnover of customers. But he deemed it acceptable office coffee. I confess to being a coffee snob (Peets, never Starbucks) I drink espressos/cappuccinos - fresh-made and strong. So I didn't have any Walls coffee. My favorite weird thing at Walls were the Jackalopes - stuffed and mounted. You walked right by the display and didn't give it much attention. Maybe you were grossed out by the dead bunnies, but I think it's my favorite thing there. If I could stand to have dead animals on the wall, I absolutely would've bought one. Only $119 for all that taxidermy (in 2015). As it was, I just took a picture of the Jackalope and brought home a fridge magnet of prairie dogs kissing. Yes, they actually kiss! The same way we do. That was his Valentines gift the next year.

[@OpenRoading]

I love that you are like "Nope... not trying 5 cent coffee." I totally understand that. 😁 And yeah, stuffed bunnies weren't going to be our thing. We can laugh at the jackalope but not really keen on seeing dead rabbits - so you called that one! -J

We stopped at Wall Drug once on a road -trip. Actually, make that twice. The first time around, it ended up being closed, as I think it was out of season. We came back around on our way back up about 3 weeks later, and it was finally open. Very quirky place. There's also a very cool car museum called Pioneer Auto in Murdo.

So we recently saw signs on the outside of the bathrooms in a resturant in whitehorse Large Letters "MENS" Above it in very small letters "this is not the" then below the "Mens" - again in small letters "bathroom.

Did you get to try the homemade ice cream while you walked around Wall Drug? I highly recommend it! I think Kalyn had a pretty wacky gift. The Badlands are certainly worth the trip. Been their once and it's spectacular

[@OpenRoading]

We didn't. Kalyn can't have dairy (Messes up her stomach) so we generally don't even look to see if ice cream places have dairy free options. Sometimes I'll try something but I don't like being the guy who's enjoying an ice cream cone in front of his wife who can't have one. 😁 -J
