The West 2019 Part 10: Joshua Tree National Park

[@michelegardner4679]

Love your videos. My husband and I are addicted to your videos. We learn so much from you videos, it's like being there with you. Thank you for all your time, we really appreciate all your hard work. Safe travels.

[@boatdriver9533]

My late Father was the Roads and Trails Foreman at Joshua Tree from 1970-1971, before we moved to Jamestown Virginia.

[@lpgrunt]

Hey Robert! You guys passed within 2 miles of our house when you were heading west on the 10 fwy! It was surreal seeing my exit on your video...lol I've been distracted with adjusting to retire life, so got behind on your videos. Leticia and I are all caught up now thanks to a few marathon binge watching sessions! Love the music! Safe travels to you and Ileana!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. It would have been cool to bump into you :-)

[@MARLASALADINI]

You are an excellent narrator. I’m also addicted to your videos...which I learn a lot because I’m starting in “this world “ of traveling trailers... Thank you!

[@rogerchouinard3180]

Wonderful adventure again! Those Joshua trees are weird. Beautiful mountains, graet narration, good music, thanks for sharing Robert !

[@markshelhart8338]

The camera work in your last 2 videos is some of your best, looks great through the youtube app on my smart 4K tv. You were a big part of inspiring me to get an RV and travel, now you're inspiring to get out west and see it in person.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. The West must be seen in person. There's no way I can capture the entire experience with my camera. Hope you can make it out there.

[@ronniematrix89]

Great adventure, Joshua Tree national park looks wonderful with great scenery. The Pacific coast highway California route 1 is a must drive road trip. Thanks for the upload.

Robert I’m a big fan. I look forward to you videos every week. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Please keep them coming.

Oh the night sky footage was our favorite bit but thanks, as always, for bringing us along on the adventure.

[@alex_newlife]

It was after 4:00 P.M. when I arrived Joshua Tree park in 2017. And I got a lot of beautiful pictures in the sunset, for all the trees stand in the golden light. So impressive. Thanks for calling this good memory back from your vlog.

[@michaelrice3021]

Thank you for this leisurely trip through my backyard--I can name every freeway you were driving on. Your video photography sure enhance the beauty of So. CA--this is a wonderful vid.

Love your videos! You just happened to passed my home in Los Angeles County. Awesome adventures that you are experiencing. I have a Colorado Diesel so I am looking to have the size like your RV and take road trips. Thanks for all your effort putting this video together. I enjoy every moment of it.

And the saga continues, loved the vLog. How pretty is that camp ground in Buellton!! Great footage of the PCH as well.

[@Fernyg323]

My girlfriend and I are visiting the park for the first time this weekend. We are definitely excited to get some peace and tranquility from the city. Your voice and music is soothing ha. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@christinestange4813]

Joshua Tree is a beautiful area 🌵 Your footage is crystal clear against the blue sky backdrop. Really enjoy the muted trumpet accompaniment. Lovely.

[@impactnojoy]

Joshua Tree NP is amazing especially at night!

[@almamorales4158]

Beautiful and isolated places.What beautiful rock formations. It reminded me the rocks of Cappadocia, Turkay. I have never seen a joshua tree.. But for me the most is the Pacific Coast. What beautiful landscape. Congrats....>>>

[@TheWoodsOnline]

Another greeeeaaaaaatttt video... Man I miss the California desert. Lived there for 2-3 years. It's one of those places that does take you a minute to really enjoy. But once you do, it's a place you will never forget. The peace and quiet was my favorite part.

[@newhampshirejoe5975]

Very nice trip ...I will be adding Joshua Tree to my bucket list now thank you

[@keithhadder6055]

Another great video. That was some really pretty country, you are a lucky man to make the trip from coast to coast and explore the country the whole way, I love watching you videos when I first get up with a cup of coffee

I was there when I was a kid with my parents, so much fun, they had a raddlesnake in the visitors center

[@TerryB751]

The Pacific is gorgeous along the PCH. I haven't been to LA but I would probably use the 3D Google maps to take a virtual road trip along the route to get acquainted with the area. It worked well before driving in other areas that I wasn't acquainted with.

[@carolyncolinhogarth8732]

Beautiful sunset Robert...Love that Joshua tree park...I wonder what a group of goats would do in a field of them. The Jackrabbit doesn't need a cell booster, he has his own satellite dishes....I bet he exercises his ears everyday and can hear really great. What a size of ears eh? Seriously love those mountains colors at sunset. There is nothing like living in the mountains. Beauty personified....Say hi to your mother for us....We think she is so sweet.......Have a great day to you and your family Robert. Carolyn & Colin Hogarth Osoyoos BC Canada....

[@eliciaburton4862]

I've never seen Joshua Tree so green and the growth of the cactus is huge, really remote, you guys felt uncomfortable with out connection to phones etc. I just remember when we didn't have them, well. I love the night sky, that sends me. Thanks again.

[@MarioStahl1983]

Just returned from a visit to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree. You are right about lack of internet coverage at the park. We got lost and ended up by accident at Key Views. Glad we got lost as the view was awesome and one of the highlights of the trip.

Understood the camera does not do justice, but beautiful scenery anyways. Makes me want to visit there. Btw. excellent soundtrack once again, particuralry between 14.22-15.40 the trumpet solo with sordinoed trumpet on another channel, I just loove it! Nice job!

[@mkb9464]

Thank you for sharing, its on my bucket list

[@herb7877]

We were there the 2nd week of March. We came in the South entrance and saw the BLM land but we'd already made a reservation for Cottonwood. Fortunately we couldn't fit in well enough so we gave up our spot and stayed about 100 yards West of where you were. GREAT spot in the middle of the "Supper Bloom" . The car & bicycle next to you were still there when we left. Way past the 14 day limit ! The flora & fona were much more alive with color than your video depicts. Sea's of orange, purple, white & yellow desert flowers. Its all about the timing; and ares was just pure luck.

[@janemartin1666]

Yes, Robert, I live vicariously through you and your wife's adventures. When my husband has his first vacation this summer, I'm going to sit him down one day and start watching your videos from the beginning, with him. When he retires, we're going to buy an RV. Who knows, perhaps we will buy one before that. I have been watching all different kinds of videos on RVs.(Not that you asked. ) City of Angels? Not anymore! That's mob looks like what I used to see around New York City, yuck!

[@mikeworley289]

Robert, when you do your voiceovers, how do you remember all the spots and sites you’ve been? I’ve watched about a thousand of your videos and I’m amazed at the detail narration you provide. Do you have notes or have you been gifted with a a photographic memory??

So funny. I was thinking the exact same thing about Joshua Tree but now I'm going to plan a trip.

I like how you warn people of dangers in the areas you are in. I think sometimes people on vacation don't think about danger because they are so enjoying their trip. Every place we visit has things we might not know about. I lived in Mississippi and you just know not to walk in tall grass or swim in some places. People in New England can walk in tall grass and swim in ponds, they go to south and don't know about the critters.

[@sharleeglenn4390]

For your future information Robert, Yucca trees is pronounced "yuck-a" not "you-ka". LOL. That's what we call them in CA. And as for the Cholla cactus, what makes them so dangerous is the fact they have barbs on the end of their spines. They get into your skin and won't let go! It's similar to having a fishing hook in your skin. Sometimes it requires getting pliers to get them out. And for anyone visiting the gardens, if you get one in you, you most likely will have more than one spine to deal with. Always remember to pull out the shortest ones first because when you start to pull them out, your skin will stretch and they will keep traveling deeper into your skin. If you pull the longest ones first, the shorter ones could disappear and you'll have to have them professionally taken out. I know this from experience. I was very surprised to hear they had shut the place down. I was shocked. Joshua Tree is one of my favorite places to visit in CA. I'm glad they reopened the park. As for wildlife there - we were driving out of camp one early morning and I got the rare experience of seeing a mountain lion crossing the road. There are a lot of coyotes there too and at night you can start howling and get them all going. It's a fun thing to do at night while sitting around the fire. In the morning I woke up to the coyotes in our camp and they were eating our grapes we had left out. It was at the end of summer so they were real hungry from lack of food.
