[@richardpotvin7190]

I love his videos and his music his he gives his time to help people understand how this country was explored and how we came to were we are as a nation

[@jacquelinejackson4067]

This is so comforting for me. I love watching your journeys. My mother's funeral was Friday, now I am home. So enjoying you Robert. You bring me so my enjoyment and comfort. I am enjoying Harper's video. Thank you my (Cuban) friend. You are so enjoying. Keep doing what you do. We love you.

[@Hefmier]

Sorry for your recent loss, Jacqueline.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you,, and sorry for you loss.

[@wr1120]

The name Harpers Ferry came up quite a lot when I was reading about the civil war. It's fun to see it here on youtube. Thanks!

[@sharongoodsell9341]

Just had a message to visit Harper's ferry ! If anybody knows Dave baggerly from west Virginia!dose he remember shazz from Australia, childhood times 🤩

[@nitin111raj150]

Every weekend starts with coffee and watching Traveling Roberts episode.. My daughter loves the song Traveling in my RV and Driving to the West.. Excited to see Silverado.. Wishes from India..

[@tonyofbronx605]

Robert is the undisputed champ of travel videos. Every time I travel I check his videos for tips and ideas. One of my favorite is the trip to Montreal which is a true classic. I'm definitely a fan.

[@susanbeth74]

I really love that you get video of things that are not easily found on the internet already. Meaning, we can Google museums and such but we can't always Google a scenic walk or drive. I really appreciate the original content!

[@jalcanites2939]

Nice seeing my part of the country being featured.

[@hwm5829]

I am especially enjoying these episodes from North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. This is the lands of all sides of my family, and I have been unable to travel to visit for several years now, I am traveling with you and remembering all the family and the lands.

[@paulmatovich7941]

Wow! That was awesome! Very neat little town in WV. I think the Amtrak also runs through there. Views from the trail were excellent! Thank you!

[@KristoferOlsson]

Lots of history in this place, Loved the episode. The hike had amazing views at the top.

[@vishuddhathakkar]

What a lovely place Harpers Ferry - the hills , the churches and the little museums . A great beginning to Lewis and Clark trail. Also what a breathtaking view of the confluence of Shenandoah and Potomac rivers. Cannot wait to watch the whole series .

[@1970boobear]

Goooooood morning! Really enjoyed the history lesson & yet more beautiful scenery as seen through your eyes/lens. Cheers & happy travels! ✌ 💘 🏕

[@ljiljanamahmutagic6186]

WOW,Rober !!! We have been following you all the time in the last 3 years. We love everything...but this is one of my favourite avdenture. So glad you walked..but please do not forget your sun protection . Wear your hat. What a great history lesson and train...I love when you have your bear... ❤️❤️❤️

[@alvashoemaker8536]

Hola, Roberto…! I LOVE YOUR enthusiasm for America’s’ history!! To me, it’s EPIC…. YOUR travels become MINE. “PASA burn dia, Roberto!!” 😃😃👍🏼👍🏼👣

[@loisaustin6200]

This is my favorite place in the world to visit and take a drive to on a nice Sunday from Arlington, Virginia. Been there so many times I have lost count. Such a beautiful, historical little town, especially gorgeous during the Fall months. Years ago, they had ladies walking around in hoop skirts, soldiers dressed in Civil War uniforms, a Civil War wax museum, several antique shops, a glass blowing shop, an ironworks demonstration. I think Covid may have changed a lot of little things in the town, have not been there for about five years, but it is still a wonderful place.

[@jimmoore7725]

I am going to brush up on my Lewis and Clark history. I enjoyed today’s video. Harper’s Ferry is a beautiful town. Thanks!

[@kathyhepler382]

Gorgeous town 😍. Beautiful video 📸. Never been to Harpers ferry. Thank you!!! Safe travels

[@Gayle45]

Again, love traveling and learning with Robert! So many places I’ll probably not see in person with the scope you are able to travel. Thank you!!

[@auroranite]

Its wonderful Robert to see just how much you value this country’s history👍 Thank you for spotlighting Harper’s Ferry.

[@stephenenders2066]

Thank you for showing harpers fairy. I have never seen it before. It is so picturesque..those streets are so narrow feels more like Europe or something.

[@mikewilson8169]

Thanks! I really enjoy your videos.

[@RichardinNC1]

Another great episode! Hiking, small towns, scenic views and history lessons all in one. As a native West Virginian, I've yet to visit Harpers Ferry. I've passed near there several times but never with time enough to stop and explore the town. Per the Hiking Project app, The Maryland Heights trail is 6.8 miles, nearly 1500ft of elevation gain. Great job but looks worth it from the view. Note Amtrak stops at Harpers Ferry, I believe along the Capital Limited. I've read up on the C&O Canal trail, from DC to Cumberland (another cool town to explore). From there, a trail can take you to Pittsburgh! EDIT:PS: I have driven the entire Skyline Drive, just a few years ago. About 30 years ago I did it and some of the hiking trails along the way.

[@kalednjjar5614]

Only your videos get my stress away.

[@flarrfan]

A little RR logistics and history...the first train was a coal train on the original B&O mainline from Baltimore to the Ohio River. The second train was a lucky break for you, as the trail bridge is on a branch line that doesn't see much train traffic at all. Then you caught an intermodal likely headed for Pittsburgh and Chicago from your table at the Rabbit Hole. Love Harpers Ferry!

[@dylanreynolds8264]

there is a lot of history in this road trip

[@sweetpapillon7265]

What a beautiful place. Magical views. Look forward every Sunday to your videos. Thank you, Robert and Ily.

[@BikesBoatsBivouacs]

I was just at Harper's Ferry at the KOA just outside the park. We plan on going back and kayaking the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. Nice job on the video.

[@ChannelOwnersASMR]

That is indeed a historic place. I appreciate you bringing us there. At the same time, it was a very informative video.

[@FoolishPrankster]

The Vistas and Views, there are more than a few, Wow ! 🤓👌

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Traveling Robert😊😊🎸🎸🎵🎵🍔🍔, Harper's Ferry is one of my favorite places to enjoy. I have been there several times and it never gets old. It's such a picturesque area. Robert, I really enjoyed you hiking the Maryland Heights Trail and relaxing at the top with that awesome view. OUTSTANDING VIDEO ROBERT!!

[@bertkelly7650]

You sure did a lot of uphill in this video. Will get you in shape and me fatter in no time! Thanks for your video!

[@evacalder5539]

First time to come across your Yt Channel! You inspired me to visit Harpers Ferry and do some hiking. Good job!

[@LazyDaisyDay88]

One of my most favourite places to visit in the US (from the UK) We've been there a couple of times when visiting DC, so it's lovely to see it again! Thank you for sharing Robert. :-)

[@karenfromNH]

Your journeys are so informative and relaxing. I love your music choices too.

[@franciscotorres593]

Harper's Ferry is a great place to visit. Thanks for the video, it has been twenty years since I last visited. Time to get back.

[@AskRemy]

something to watch as I clean my rv for travels - nice area in the beginning

[@Cuernavacachica02]

Beautiful! I grew up in Baltimore and remember trips to beautiful places like that. I’m pretty sure that’s where I got my love for old architecture!!

[@jeffreymccommon8759]

Resolve thinking...(re-solve). Firm determination.

[@sgtkingking2228]

Hello Robert, of all the years of videos of your trips, this ranks right near the top in excellent in capturing a lovely place of history. The view from on top of the large hill (or little mountain) was the best 'commanding view' of a town. I was thinking it looked like a model railroad scene when I first saw it and you panned down and there was a train track with a passing train. For many reasons it really was wonderful. Continue your good work and always be safe my friend.

[@elmandalorian6671]

The hike overlooking the historical town was impressive...

[@lyndaknowles8265]

Glad you are back. Watch you all the time. Very enjobible.Thanks for your videos.

[@billramsey7455]

It is so awesome seeing scenery that I am used to on this video. I travel these roads of all these roads and the overlooks on my daily travels. Robert you should look up sasquatch encounter in Harper's ferry. Lol It's always good when lots of people are around. Love your videos you always do a great job.

[@fokaspetrogiannis]

Excellent episode Robert 👏

[@jalcanites2939]

I have been to Harper's Ferry several times, but I have not taken that trail to Maryland Heights. I plan to be there again this coming fall and hopefully finally, Maryland Heights.

[@joycemosakowski3648]

Well Robert you did it again! This expedition of Harper's Ferry was outstanding. 💯💥💫😊

[@chrislebleu6821]

Big love from Canada, Traveling Robert! Trying to stay in the house to avoid the awfully hot August daytime of Canada, Alberta until it starts to cool down in September and watching your videos are really, really entertaining, fun and educative!! You are a true legend in my heart and many others'!

[@kimmieiserwillis7079]

I appreciate your videos! I have planned some of our trips based on some of your recommendations and they did not disappoint!! I also want to thank you for your approach to trip planning. It’s VERY doable for budget conscious travelers!!

[@dodgeguyz]

Good video. I’ve heard good things about Harpers Ferry. It will be on our list of places to see.

[@rickrack4812]

I do believe that if you want inside the railroad depot down by the tracks you would have been able to read some history and see some items as well

[@subaru4me]

What a great hike and having the train at the end. Cool

[@Mad1Mike]

There you go following us again! LOL! Really, it has been some 40 years since I have been in the area. except we were in Cumberland Maryland a couple of years ago. Back in the day, I was all over those mountains (hills) on a motorcycle. Shame, back then, you just don't slow down to admire the details. The Potomac now, I have canoed rapids up near there and sailed my first boat from DC to Annapolis from that river, the start of my boating life. Sure you bring back memories, but we like your perspective a lot more, as you say, one day, we will be back!

[@pattyk8594]

The nice thing about the confluence, in addition to the view, is you are standing in West Virginia and across the water to your left is Maryland and to your right is Virginia, so you can see all three states.

[@crazylarry1959]

FANTASTIC VIDEO ROBERT YOU ARE SO ENJOYABLE TO WATCH I am from valley stream ,ny long island my name is Larry I especially enjoyed when you past my house on your trip through long island you had just spent overnight at an oceanside brewery thanks again keep up the awesome work

[@stephenenders2066]

When I see that town you can't help but think about the activities and where people would walk ..and then I think about ghosts.

[@thehighlanders607]

When you said "islands in the stream", I thought you were going to start singing. = )

[@dazblue5515]

Great video - Visiting Harper's Ferry is on my bucket list

[@RichSchlam]

Hi Robert. I was in Harpers Ferry just this weekend. You made that hike up. The trail look easy. It's not that easy. I also ate at the rabbit hole. The burgers are good. Prices are reasonable. Harpers Ferry is such a beautiful little town. Had a wonderful time there. Keep up the good work. Love all your videos.

[@barbarabladen8963]

Great video! Love this trail! Great Robert that you had the opportunity to experience this!

[@romanm9718]

I like when you started singing Country roads West Virginia by John Denver. I love that song.

[@gordonquickstad]

Interesting historic trip, Robert. Thanks for dealing with the heat and bugs so we don’t have to!

[@joannridgway7972]

I truly enjoyed this visit ! I especially enjoyed the hike . It’s been some 10/12 years that I was up there,we spent a week around the West Virginia and this place exploring . We also were refreshing our minds of the history ,and this place is full of it. The hike was so amazing,thanks for doing it . Will you continue your western trek of Lewis and Clark this fall .? What ever road you take I know it will be rewarding .👏👏👏💖

[@Hefmier]

I plan to visit Harper's Ferry in a couple of months. I am going to try to hike to Maryland Heights, but will be a little pressed for time. So, no guarantees here. This episode was quite informational about the town. Greetings from Washington state!! :)

[@johns4452]

Thanks for great footage of Harper’s Ferry. Planning a trip next summer there with family. Going to be camping at same KOA also. And thanks a lot for footage of trains. (Main reason why I want to go there…great spots to film the trains 😂)

[@Twobarpsi]

Maryland Heights overlook was incredible Robert!!

[@maryke1142]

I need to go to Harpers Ferry! It IS a picturesque town! I agree with you Robert that when hiking; it’s good to see other people. 🙂

[@TheUglyGnome]

Nice town. Looks like there were more than one house flying the colors of the country I support.

[@goldtopazasylum]

beautiful scenery...

[@swissmiss2525]

Thanks for sharing your travel experience with me.

[@Yawndave]

Gooooood morning Robert! Thanks for the tour of Harper's Ferry-, it's been on my list for a while but I never seem to make it there. What a great view from that overlook! That 360 camera continues to impress, it really feels like we're hiking along with you. By now I guess you're ready to head out on the second half of your Lewis & Clark trip--have fun!

[@reneewhetten4909]

Very beautiful, great video!

[@Kgdyt468]

Thank you so much Robert for showing us the USA!

[@ShawnPatterson402]

Another lovely part of our continent. Will be passing very near there tomorrow on our way to a state park in Pennsylvania. Gonna be a chilly night, but it is still a night travelling in the RV :). As always, safe travels....

[@rickrack4812]

That part where you pointed out that hill up there used to be part of the Confederacy... If you take the state road up there I think it's state road 9 maybe? It goes up to it yet another historic Civil War site. It was the Bolivar camp (Union camp) and skirmish/ battleground.. That side is different than bolivar heights I'm not always sure I'm the spelling... It is just a self tour site you walk around the top field and you read the plaques and look at the statues

[@RealLifewithAdrianRuth]

Great video. I’m planning a trip from GA to CT and want to stop in many places. This might be a good one Thanks

[@debbiewerner7124]

What a cool town. That hike was so worth it. Did the CO canal boat in Georgetown about 20 years ago. Pulled by mules. Interesting ride but very slooow. ❤

[@doreenmcleod8444]

I always love a good hike! Gorgeous views of Harper's Ferry. The AT crisscrosses Skyline drive a few times. Looking forward to the rest of the journey.

[@FindingHappinessInAllYouDo]

Hey robert we were just there did some fishing hope you enjoyed it have a wonderful day

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

Hello Robert! Such a great video, what a beautiful area! Panning Harper's Ferry from above looks like the into for Mister Rodgers neighborhood.

[@adventureswithmarkandsonoko]

Very interesting video, Robert. I was just reading some history about Harpers Ferry, so this was very timely.

[@captainblacktoe1328]

Staunton, Virginia also the birthplace of my Huss and Dalton guitar. Hope to visit someday soon.

[@AskRemy]

This is a great video, not just saying that - you don't disappoint, my friend

[@NYCSKYSCRAPERS-hp6pm]

This was a beautiful drive one of many my friend you do!

[@markshelhart8338]

Gourgeous as always. Knew HF was historic but not that historic, also that picturerque. As I'm sure you're well aware, they took lots of guns on the expedition so they could trade them with the various tribes they encountered.

[@charlieplatnum82]

May 17th 2022, my 50th BirthDay episode, thanks Robert

[@karendevries8219]

Woohoo! My friends had walnut hills cg in Staunton years ago.. 340? Have to check it out! Stayed at Harper's Ferry cg last November My campsite was much prettier Took the shuttle Used my senior pass Train derailed there a couple of years ago.i did see a train pass thru..how cool!
