So glad you got to see Sagamore Hill and the fascinating museum there -- so sorry you weren't able to take a tour of the incredible home! One of the best NPS Historical Sites in the nation. Thank you for continuing to make incredible travel videos -- your and Pops' channels are the best!

This was awesome, from start to finish. It does help to have two, knowledgeable guides who know the area. As you are aware, there is so much to see. You did a super job, including so much in this video. I thoroughly enjoyed this, Josh. BTW, that pizza, those, sweet treats, the Greek meals, and the final pizza looked yummy. ***Chalk up another winner. 🎊🎈👏🏻👏🏻🌊

For those of you who love the cold slice but are out of the area, do what I do when you go to a pizzeria. If they are selling it by the slice, say, "Can you HEAT UP the slice and then afterwards, can you sprinkle COLD cheese on it?" (Any other variation of this will result in either an uncooked slice or your cold cheese getting melted in the oven. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME!) And if you are forced to buy a whole pizza (sorry, rest of the country!🤣), you can ask them to bring out a side of cold shredded cheese and you can DIY. You will get looks, and strange questions, and heaven help you if the person doesn't speak English very well, but it's worth the extra ask for the gooey yumminess. If it's done right, the cheese melts while you eat it. So good! 😋

We’ve been to several of these stops and really enjoyed the memories and the new stops you shared ; esp the pizza; Brooklyn pizza is the BEST! I’ve been wanting to ask you if you’re going for all 429 National Parks Sites? I’ve noticed many of the lesser known sites in your travels. We are at 202 NPU’s thus far. Life seems to keep blocking our journey, but we’ll get there someday. Always appreciative of your adventures and hard work!!

@@ThroughMyLens If you find yourself in Northeast Florida, it's worth a stop. There are even ghost tours that you can take one by trolley, 1 by horse and carriage and 1 walking. One of the original Ripley's believe it or not, museums is found there. I think you could see about 80% of it over 3 days.

Nice video! There's a pizza shop here in central Ohio that does the cold cheese on top. I'll stick to square-cut tavern style pizza that's available. Just like the kind that I grew up eating in Chicago. Deep dish?? No way.

@JasePhotos 4 ай бұрын

Yeah, the cold toppings on hot pizza is known locally as Ohio Valley style pizza. It had something to do with the ovens and pans they originally used. If they put toppings on before, they’d burn, so the fashion became to put them on after.

Sagamore Hill is my girlfriend's and mine favorite place to spend the evening. We take our dog there and just sit on the beach watching the millionaires take their boats out after the work day ends. Both sides of the beach are private property and are owned by influential and rich people. Last time we were there a helicopter landed not far from where we were sitting.
