They just don’t make men like your Pops any longer! What a great role model for his son😊

[@tnxjesus]

Yeah they do its called a man with common sense.

[@oohmomma69]

@@2CorgiMom 👍 agreed

[@popshiking]

That’s really kind! Thx!!

[@ThroughMyLens]

I agree, they broke the mold when they made pops!

[@ericnakamura3634]

Love the road trips with Pops!

[@ThroughMyLens]

I do too, so much fun!

[@SquakingOfTheCrows]

I think that even if the pandemic didn't happen, your videos would still become popular. They're so dang good in how they awaken something nostalgic in many of us that we miss now with the onset of how technology has been able to isolate people indoors more. No offense to the videos with your wife and kids but these ones with your Dad really go straight to the heart and are the most fun!

[@popshiking]

You are really kind! Thx for watching for the encouragement!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for the kind words! The videos with my dad really do connect with people and I love being able to see that connection, it is so cool

[@bridgetoconnor7229]

You two are so blessed to enjoy such a wonderfully close father/son relationship. I dont think they are so common and so it's very wonderful to see! God bless you and keep you safe in your travels!

[@popshiking]

We do realize how blessed we are and don’t take it for granted. So sad some of the difficulties people will share in comments that just break your heart. But we always appreciate the reminder so thx!

[@ThroughMyLens]

We really do love traveling together and have such a great time with it

[@DyanK614]

Loved this q and a. Your twins’ answers at the beginning were priceless and spot on- cherry blossoms and glaciers are my favourites too! Looking forward to seeing the South Dakota road trip.

Really appreciate that. Such a kind comment and just the vibe we try to give off!

[@David-fb8fn]

This was a fun video! I appreciated hearing about your takes and memories from among the different trips you have made. It would be great to hear some more about your planning processes. Your trips are always interesting and it goes without saying they wouldn't be so without all your pre-planning.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Great suggestion, maybe I can dive deeper into that in a future video!

[@cindywestlake6278]

I loved that give gave us a more "inside look" at your travels. My husband and I have watched every single one of your videos. We are planning a New Mexico trip for Labor Day and Utah trip for November! You and Pops have a very special Father/Son relationship, you're blessed!

[@ThroughMyLens]

So cool to hear you love the videos. Thanks for watching them and I hope you have a fantastic trip to Utah and New Mexico!

[@slighwentwalking2024]

Route 66 was the 1st of your videos I saw. Blue Ridge Parkway was among my favorites. Seeing all those grizzly bears was scariest. You go to a lot of places and I like to see where you guys show up. Well done mates...well done 👍

0:53 Pops has the right idea😊 Seriously, nothing beats that view. I remember going there for the first time when i was 8 years old it almost felt like i was looking at one giant painting

[@popshiking]

I have been there many times and am still overwhelmed every visit. I always go back to the first time and think “this can’t be real!!”

So excited for Pops & Josh going to another Experience for them And US!! Recently returned from that area wish I had more time in the area looking forward to seeing it Through Your Lens!! Safe Travels All The Best! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.

Glad to learn that Pops is a prog rock lover.

[@popshiking]

My college buddy got me into those and other bands. But I still love the Beatles and anything out of Motown!

Thank you so much!😊

[@Danika_Nadzan]

Lots of fun, as always with you two! It was nice to get some behind-the-scenes info on your trips and your individual choices. Josh really puts in a lot of effort on the videos, Pops adds his own flavor, and the combination is perfection! Loved the twins' answers, and I'm with Pops on the Fritos...Original only!😁

Nice to hear you are exploring South Dakota! Always looks like an amazing trip over there, can't wait to see the video. If you are still in the Black Hills and it fits into your route, check out the Bicycle Sculpture in Pringle, SD--just the sort of wacky roadside attraction you guys love to see!

Just came back from a trip to Big Bend National Park totally inspired by Josh and Pops. The awesome insights that you provided in your travel guide made my trip so much easier to plan, especially with travelling such long distances. I am already planning my next trip to Alaska. I'm sure I will be rewatching all your Alaska videos many times before I head off. Appreciate all the travel tips and insights.

Love this video dynamic of you and Pops. It was fun to see you guys on the road answering questions. Well, you already know that I’m Pops number one fan 😂 so any videos with Pops are fun to watch. Also, it was a nice twist to hear the whole family mention their favorite spots. Thanks for sharing, Josh. 🙌🏽

Ok to serious stuff...I enjoy all your channels because you show me places I've been, but a new angle/look on them. You show me places I haven't been...and the video style and voice over stuff just makes it fun to watch and learn. Not gonna lie...I've been to a LOT of the places you've been to...haha.

Started watching your videos recently and my favorites are the ones with pops. Anytime he’s in one I’m stoked. I lost my dad 2 weeks ago and let me tell you this Q & A with your pops brought out all the feels. Also, I live on the Big Island about 30 minutes from Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. I think you’d find so many more things to do on the Big Island that would shine in your videos so please consider making a trip out one day soon!

[@popshiking]

Wow I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you have many beautiful memories to reflect on. I’m always remembering that there is a finite number of times we will be able to travel together and I want to make each time memorable. Thx for reminding me of that once again! May God comfort you and your family in your loss.

[@ThroughMyLens]

I am so sorry for your loss. That is so hard. I would love to explore the Big Island. I am sure it is incredibly beautiful!

Probably I rank my yes album favorites… 1. Close to the edge 2. Relayer 3. Fragile 4. Tales. I know not everyone is a fan of tales. Got Josh and his friends listening to them when they were in high school. Just saw Jon Anderson recently in St Louis. He was good as was the backup band.

[@robertmorneau4974]

Great video ! And Pops please go to Tahoe (shoulder seasons) and see Tallac / Valhalla Historic site walk (millionaire mansion walk) and Ehrman mansion / Sugar Pine Point . All of these have gorgeous old homes (some with tours) with the iconic views of the lake and lots of historic interest. Then Taylor Creek Visitor center with wooden boardwalk and stream profile chamber, beaver trees gnawing, and early morning / sunset possible bear sightings. All of the above are flat, easy, and well maintained walks with history and yes , FRITOS RULE!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Great comment with lots of suggestions! I will pass them along

Heading to Yosemite this Thursday with the family, we are so excited to be there even though there's a heat wave going on now. It's 103 today there, we are camping at the valley. Have you been to Glacier? It's an amazing place so many things to experience and wonderful hikes too.

So cool, I would love to go to Australia! It has been on my bucket list for so long! Yep, this is my full time job, it has been for about 6 years

[@bchlvrbob]

I’ve traveled for nearly 50 years taking the wife, kids (when we could) and other extended family. I never realized it was so unusual until my now 49 year old nephew introduced me to his new wife as his favorite relative. He told her that I was the only person to ever take him to the Grand Canyon (when he was 16). Now at my advanced age it is so pleasing to know that impact on children in the family. We all got great experiences seeing and doing these travels together.

[@ThroughMyLens]

That’s so cool to have that kind of impact. I’m a firm believe in travel changing you for the better

[@voles9948]

Awesome Video. The last part is really going to help next time I plan vacations. I was shocked you only drive 9 hours at most while my driving days can be up to 16 hours.

[@ontheroadwithRalph]

Excellent video, as always. The top three national parks are really hard to choose. For me: 1: Yellowstone 2: Grand Canyon 3: Bryce Canyon, but being "East Coast" people does figure into this very tough decision. There are so many great national parks and we love your videos on all of them. Thank you!

PS - you have such a wonderful family !!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks! I shared the full cost on the Route 66 tips video and the Alaska Highway video too I think. It is more than an RV but it is also faster and more adaptable so we prefer it at the moment. RV could be fun in the future rhough

[@banjobandit3270]

Please do a HWY 12 Outer Banks road trip. There is no place like it. So many cool places, history, abd good food. Wright Brothers Memorial, largest sand dune in the east at Jockeys Ridge, awesome light houses, wild life and tours. It's right up your alley

[@ThroughMyLens]

That is high on my list to do, what time of year is best?

[@skysurfer5cva]

+1 for Kansas and Merrills, Yosemite and Yellowstone. They're my favorites as well. If you haven't yet been to the Black Hills/Devils Tower/Badlands NP area, you owe it yourself to go. The Black Hills has Mt. Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Monument (a work in progress), Wind Cave NP, Jewel Cave NM, Custer State Park, the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, Deadwood, Lead, etc. Rapid City has life-size statues of the US Presidents scattered about in a vibrant downtown and a wood stave church (Chapel in the Hills) that is an exact replica of the Borgund, Norway, stavekirke, which dates from the 12th century. But, wait, there's more....🙂 //EDIT: Then you finished up talking about South Dakota. Have a great time.//

[@ThroughMyLens]

We went to a lot of these places but I loved the black hills so much I already want to go back and explore more

[@SquakingOfTheCrows]

Hi Josh and Pops, at the risk of sounding sappy, I have to thank you both for posting these videos. The father-son ones (esp when you get out of California) are so comforting to me from the playful energy you both have, the stops you take (things like the Dr. Pepper museum, donut shops, etc.) and even the background music. I struggle with depression (so sometimes getting out is really hard outside of work), and I had a pretty traumatic Route 66 road trip experience with an abusive partner who made me feel bad for wanting to take fun sightseeing stops to take pics and explore. Your videos bring back memories of better roadtrips, and give me hope that maybe I too can one day have comforting, easy-going, playful roadtrips with a partner like y'all who are proof that not all dudes have toxic masculinity, and that some just like to have some good, old-fashioned, fun. :)

[@popshiking]

Wow that sounds really rough. Glad our trips can lighten things for you a bit. So encouraging to us for you to say that! My prayer is also that you can find a partner to share your love of travel with you!!

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Wow! Didn’t realize that the pandemic made your channel blew up. Makes sense though. But I’ve been following you from well before that from a recommendation from a friend. Pops has not been to Lake Tahoe?! He totally needs to go with your mom or even the whole family. It’s very nice. My best friend lives at the foot of the kingbury grade going up to Tahoe. So much to see and do up there. I love the hot springs and pool in markleeville that’s not far from Tahoe, and frog lake for things outside of Tahoe that are my highlights. Road trips are so fun. I like being able to take my time and just stop wherever I feel like. I like to plan shorter day drives of four to six hours of driving and check out where I want to stop for gas and potty and food but keep those flexible. Smart to book motels that allow cancellation you can keep it fun and not just cranking out the miles. I google and Mapquest and yelp places along the way. And I ask people I know. I’ve found some great places that way. Found some great places to eat that way, like this obscure middle eastern hike in the wall place in grants pass. Or this great burger and shakes place in Klamath falls. Totally going back to them next time I’m going through. A friend in Ashland Oregon recommended this great sandwich shop off the beaten path so I would have never gone there if she hadn’t told me about it. And cat friendly since I travel with my cat. All outdoor dining so put her in her backpack and she was good to go

[@popshiking]

100% agree. Already trying to think of a good time to go. Thx for the encouragement!

[@kellyjohnson3617]

@@popshiking my fav time to go is in the summer. But spring and fall are great also. He hike to frog lake is along the PCT and is a very scenic hike that goes to a few lakes. Not a hard hike and beautiful. The drive up there is lovely. It’s a place that PCT hikers jump off the trail to go into Tahoe. The lake is so beautiful and driver and hiker friendly. Lots of good food and historically interesting places. It’s a great end to a road trip up the 395 which is a terrific road trip.

Dr. Pops and his camera man!

[@popshiking]

Hahaha! I’d embrace them at if it were true. More like Josh does everything and pops tries not to be too obnoxious!! But your comment is fun.

[@davidnewhouse9403]

@@popshikingI have to disagree Pops. You are the star. Just holds that camera. But he does a great job holding it. Let me know if you guys are coming to EDC again next year. Me and the boys are exited to meet you there!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Haha 😂

[@MisTubingNu]

Pops is a great guy! You have a great dad 😊 That’s why you’re a good one too!

[@popshiking]

That’s really kind! Thx!

[@ThroughMyLens]

😊 thank you

[@palombadebra8207]

I agree with your dad. When you grow up on the east coast the sandwiches out west DO NOT compare. East coast grinders are the best 🎉

[@ThroughMyLens]

Haha makes sense, he needs to make a east coast sandwich video

[@mariamjehn7071]

Crack me up beautiful family!! Love ❤️ Pops to max!! 😢😊😊

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for watching!

[@terizumbusch8408]

Sixties and early seventies is the best music ever.❤

[@popshiking]

No argument here! Haha

[@ahhitskatie9094]

I can’t tell you how much I treasure your Father-Son travel videos. I’d LOVE to hear your Pop’s feedback on Cousins Subs if you ever find yourselves in Wisconsin. They are so good!

[@popshiking]

Josh definitely overstated the whole sandwich thing. He is mostly trolling me with that! I’d love to try that place!

[@ThroughMyLens]

We will have to try them!

[@jules3243]

Agree on the ban on 60's on Sirius. Good lord I can't do it anymore but my wife loves it.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Haha it’s like the same exact songs and melodies over and over 😂

[@nicholaspowell7931]

Hey if you are ever in the panhandle of Florida try and go to Thomas Doughnuts in Panama City it is really really good. Great view of the beach

[@ThroughMyLens]

Will do, that sounds awesome!

[@cabe_bedlam]

Pops knows what he likes!

[@ThroughMyLens]

He does haha

[@justnerdystuff]

I agree with your dad. When I was in highschool, my daily lunch would be sloppy joe, fritos, fritos bean dip and a Pepsi. Every single day. One day at the snack bar they were out of every single item (I honestly think they did this on purpose to get me to try something new) I was so upset but so hungry, so I was forced to go into the cafeteria and lucky they had spinach and chocolate milk (also my favorite). But thankfully the next day they had all my favorite items. I never did like that Snack Bar lady.🧐

oh - and the route 66 "blew up" not because of Covid etc. - it blew up because it was excellent !

[@ThroughMyLens]

Very kind of you to say!

[@valerie7154]

I enjoy all of your videos . Where in NJ is Pops from?

[@popshiking]

I am originally from Cinnaminson. Born in Camden. I liked growing up in South Jersey. Thx for watching!
