In this video I visit several points of interest along Route 66 in Arizona, the Mother Road. First we learn about the Sinagua people cliff dwellings in Walnut Canyon National Monument. Then we pass by Twin Arrows, the Two Guns ghost town, the Meteor Crater, we spend some time standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona, we almost visit the Petrified Forest... then finally enter New Mexico and cruise along the town of Gallup. As night falls we arrive in Albuquerque.

Hi TR, really enjoyed this video. We're going to do Route 66 later in 2020 and I've been searching for any other videos you made on the Route 66 theme. Without success. Can you supply any titles or search terms to help us? Many thanks for your help.

Curious why you seem to never stop at he LOCAL mom and pop owned restaurants along the way serving REAL locals' food? And no a "Najavo" breakfast of eggs, meat and hash browns for $9.00 at a brand new Indian casino doesnt count. @ 26:40 in Gallup you just passed right by Jerry's Cafe which has been there over 60 years serving some of the absolute best NM food in the state like green and red chile enchiladas, chile rellenos and sopapiilos. you are missing out by not going to these sorts of places and instead all the latest and not so greatest "IPA brew pub" chains springing up like stinking Starbucks. #BORING

Picture quality is excellent.. It occurs to me your videos are enjoyable because you are humble and aren’t towing a 10,000lb $80,000 5th wheel with a $80,000 diesel pickup. Maybe you would want to but keep it simple. You really show all the fun you could have with a modest setup. Perhaps discussing cost might be useful for many... Oh and had a chuckle when you went down old Route 66... Real off roading eh?
@TravelingRobert6 жыл бұрын
It was scary for a few minutes there, but I'm glad I pulled it off. You most likely never see me in a 5th wheel, especially since I've gotten used to living small. I might splurge in a wide body campervan in the future though,.

@rvninnorthcarolina33776 жыл бұрын
What I have learned in watching Robert's videos is that it is the journey and what you do and what you see that is the important part. The RV is a comfortable place to recharge (and edit videos :-) ) and stay at unique places, but not the focal point of the adventure. Of course Robert is traveling with his RV and not full-timing. Some of the other interesting channels show these more elaborate rigs as you state, but the RV is their home too.

Thank you. Yes, the new camera didn't make the cut and I returned it as soon as I got back. When you have the right tool your work is so much easier, and this camera was definitely not the right tool. It takes twice as long to edit when you have to color correct every single scene. About the camera on the roof, at the beginning I was really worried, but in almost four years it has never fallen off.

Thank you Mario. Actually, the best entry level camera you can find is your phone, especially the flagships, iPhone 8, Samsung S9, Google Pixel, and the good thing is you always have them with you. Then if you feel you need an optical zoom you can move up to a nice camcorder lie the Sony FDR series, or a point and shoot with good video capabilities like the Sony RX100 series, or an action cam for underwater. But if I was starting vlogging right now I would try using the phone first. Paul of The Motorhome Experiment shoots 90% of his video with his phone, and the quality looks pretty good.

Always enjoy your videos Robert. Thanks for sharing your travels with us. I wonder why the cliff dwellers were called the Sinagua (Spanish "without water"). You would think that they'd have a native American-type name. Could the early Spanish explorers entering the southwestern US have nicknnamed them "sinagua" because of the arid part of the country or that they might not have had easy access to a water source? Makes me want to do some research on them. You've piqued my interest. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Cuidese.
@TravelingRobert6 жыл бұрын
Thank you! The explanation I got back at Montezuma Castle (same Sinagua people) is that the Spanish explorers couldn't find any permanent rivers in the area, so they called them the people sin agua. I guess their original name was lost in time.
