FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF SOUTH DAKOTA - THIS SHOCKED US [S7-E69]

[@mahmute.169]

When I see that rock, I remember the hilarious British movie “Paul the alien”.

[@placesonthelist]

You missed getting up-close and personal with the tower. There's a nice path all the way around at the bottom.

[@iand5369]

Belle Fourche is where John Wayne drove his herd of cattle to in the movie The Cowboys lol

[@robertfisher7723]

On very windy days open the window before opening the door as that gives a smaller area for the wind to act against. Then close the window before closing the door.

Your Coalmine reminds me of the Jiggers Bank in Coalbrookdale/Ironbridge and it is time for Rin Tin Tin to get another head shave! 😉

[@TT-zd6nr]

The "fine arts and antiques" shop in what looks like a wild Western town was a bit of a surprise.

[@magnefauli]

This video is just lovelly, and so is the hairdo Marianne.

[@adrianmcgrath1984]

I thought the Tower was a lava column? With the surrounding softer rock that made up the volcano eroded and making up the mound around it - cooling of the lave, causing the vertical “cracks”. Even being there in person, I don’t think you quite grasp how big it is until you see climbers on it. I have some photos from a visit that I realised you could see climbers on, they looked like ants

[@kantaralak.billlbill1857]

Hi all. I think all the free help you have got from south dacota will return to them 1.000.000 fold

[@TREADtheglobe]

I really hope so - good people deserve good things !! 🌺

[@philhatcher9072]

South Dakota flattens out more as you go east. As they say, you can watch your dog run away for 3 days there.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow !! That is hilarious !

[@suzannechabot8171]

'Belle Fourche, French for "beautiful fork",[9] was named by French explorers from New France, referring to the confluence of what is now known as the Belle Fourche and Redwater Rivers and the Hay Creek. Beaver trappers worked these rivers until the mid-19th century, and Belle Fourche became a well known fur-trading rendezvous point. During and after the gold rush of 1876, farmers and ranchers settled in the fertile valleys, growing food for the miners and their animals. At the time, the open plains for hundred of miles in all directions were also being filled with huge herds of Texas and Kansas cattle. Towns sprang up to serve the ever-changing needs of the farmers and ranchers. In 1884, the Marquis de Mores, a French nobleman and contemporary of Theodore Roosevelt, established a stagecoach line between Medora, North Dakota and Deadwood, South Dakota. The Belle Fourche way station included a stage barn and a saloon.' ( Wikipedia)

Great info. Thanks

I notice a lot of episodes have close to the same amount of views...which tells me there are a lot of people like myself that continue to follow you watching every episode! That's a great sign...

well that's what a good day, wish we had garages that you dont have to pay. very friendly people. hope you dont get stuck in with the snow.

[@wordsandpicturesandsounds]

I'm very much enjoying your tour of American garages 😉😇😁

[@lindao1327]

Yes...seen Close Encounters! Probably about 4 times! USA certainly has some beautiful states. You’re living my dream Chris and Marianne!

[@elizabethlarose3632]

Have seen both the movie and Devils Tower…

[@cliffwendy3765]

WINDSCREEN??? It screens the wind? Lol 😂 I bet it screens nearly 100%. Now that you have a hole in your windscreen it is indeed a screen! Luv you Brits! Your comical.

[@pushpak]

5:29 1977. Saw it when it was originally released in the theaters. Fun, memorable movie going experience.

[@donlop9103]

What nice people and Marianne way to go cowgirl.

[@Gunapatifamily]

We're in Massachusetts if you need a place to crash on the east coast.

[@debbiecoull6957]

Hi Chris, I've seen close encounters many times. A classis , like ET. Btw, the rock is a volcanic plug, left from when the soft sedimentary stone outer layer eroded away over millennia; from an extinct volcano. I knew what it was immediately I saw it, because Edinburgh castle is also built off of a volcanic plug. Us Scots know cunning things. Haha.

[@OldSoulPammy]

You guys are truly charmed! Such wonderful and helpful encounters along your way. Travel on!! ☮️❤️😎

[@scamphound1892]

Welcome to the Midwest. We are nice people!

[@ATILLA-FB]

I think Trudi feeling home sick (need to go back to Turkey for a bit 😅🙂 re charge the battery and carry on 🙂. Love u guys stay safe 😘

[@TREADtheglobe]

Ha ha - we are trying to drive her back !! 🚐💕💪

[@pushpak]

Just an FYI, Devil's Tower is a Butte: an isolated hill with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top. People often refer to it as a mountain.

[@maltspeyside6603]

This might be the most feel good episode of any travel vlog to date.

[@pelinbulent4892]

People are amazing but I’m not surprised you respect every place you visit and bring a lot of positivity. And if you didn’t say which film Devil’s Rock was in I would jade said I recognise it - seen the movie more than once. You’re stepping in a movie wherever you go

[@tkine97]

Love the movie Close Encounters. I live in the town of Muncie, Indiana & Cornbread Road was the road where Dreyfus was stopped at the train tracks. I've ridden my bike down Cornbread Road many times and have yet to have an alien encounter.

[@sandy89107]

So glad you had gotten all the breaks with the shops today. There are still business ppl out there who really care. 🥰

[@TREADtheglobe]

Absolutely !

[@cadeltarat]

I met these 2 today at work all I can say what two down to Earth people that I have ever met. Please stay safe on the road and enjoy life while you can. From one of your newest followers in Southern Nevada.

loved that movie

[@folkharmonica]

Devils Tower received another unusual space ship, Trudy !!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Ha Ha !! Yep 🚐🙌

[@target844]

You should really get that roof vent screwed down and add bracing below. The vent likely resists flexing more than the roof, there is at least a difference, the result is a lot of force in the corner and the sealant will break.

[@freelancelady]

You were lucky to find out such a nice guy, no charge at all??? That is so great.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Nope !! He was just a genuinely fabulous adventurer who appreciated what we were doing !!

[@MrJckDoo]

Another great Vlog.

Hola 👋 Marianne & Chris That is a great movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind released Nov. of 1977 directed by Steven Spielberg. I also love the movie "Always"done by Spielberg. Lots of love sent your way. Angels all around you and Trudy 💖💖

That was an epic movie and could be on my bucket list once I retire or make the van life plunge . Thanks for sharing!!

[@deb5710]

Great video! Well get along little doggies, Marianne can lasso a steer! If you end up in Texas in the early spring during round-up time you could get hired as a cowgirl... I am impressed! I have been to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore and Deadwood, SD and the people impressed me as being so friendly and genuine! Great footage of Devil's Tower, stay safe!😁

[@lindawoody8501]

We love South Dakota and have extended family members there. We have been in the Rapid City area around the big monuments and Custer State Park as well as the Yankton, Mitchell, Wall, and Sioux Falls (not forgetting The Badlands National Park). So glad you had such kindness shown to you both - you too are so sweet people can't help but like you. Fun roping the cattle training device too! Happy for you.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Oh how lovely - yep we will be showing some more in the coming videos of these areas 🌷🙌

[@matthewH6763]

Close Encounters otk was a huge film for me as a kid. Absolutely loved it as well. So much, I sadly bought my first ever LP. The soundtrack to the movie which included the different tones when they communicated to the aliens!!! Sad but great!

[@wordsandpicturesandsounds]

😆Had that album, and 😳🤫 we played it loud out of a window. Half in hope of 👽

I remember that movie, not seen it in years. I remember the guy sculpting the tower out of his mash potato and his wife and kids think he's gone mad. Also the end bit where they communicate with the aliens using light and sound, that's all I remember from the movie.

Play the five tones! "Close Encounters" remains one of my favorite movies. So fun getting to watch you tick filming locations! Way to lassoo, Marianne!! 😲😱 I've tried a couple times at county fairs, don't think I've ever been successful. You made it look easy! The wind in Wyoming, the Dakotas, and Nebraska can get so powerful, it literally blows semi trucks over on their sides! 😬😬 Granted, it's not common but not rare, either. ❤️❤️😎👍xx

We went to the bottom ... but couldn't see as much LOL !!

[@bevtrue6937]

@@TREADtheglobe Oh, i see. I have never been even near it but i have seen videos. Seems like most people just walk a loop trail around the bottom. From your videos, it looked like you just drove by on the highway. I suspect it would be cool to just drive up to the base of it at least. Even if you don't walk around it. It looks very high. I am enjoying your trip. I have been to yellowstone in summer. There was just a youtuber murdered in Grand Teton last summer. Horrible. Her bf had a flippin temper. He left her there, drove home to FL, went into the woods and killed himself. The public harrassed his PARENTS for months, can you imagine??? The U.S. can be crazy sometimes. 😰

The native Americans have a story on the Monument. They say Native American women fled up on the Devils Tower to get away from giant bears, and th3 sides of the tower show the bears scratching the tower trying to get up on top. I think 5hat is the way it goes. You should be able to google the beliefs.

Belle Forche is the exact geographic centre of the 52 states - so if aliens invaded they would make it their hq for convenience

You only log Trudys mechanics etc. let her retire and get some sponsorship to continue your journey. Otherwise your great but I want to see the small towns which others wouldn’t ever seeeeeeee.
