[@michaelhicks6121]

Excellent Job you 2! Thank you for taking your time, energy, and effort to make this video ! I appreciate you 2 and want to give Lauren mad props on supporting you Joe all these years !! Honor and respect ! Michael

[@loucinci3922]

Nice little road trip. Stroll down memory lane. You rock!!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah havent been there since I was 6 or 7 lol. Wish we still had that property. Would be an Awesome place to do a solar and battery setup!

[@ahaveland]

Glad you got away and had such a great time, and a clear sky - total eclipses are well worth it! I went to the one in Hungary in August 1999, and I'm still there!

[@AveRage_Joe]

It was an Awesome time! 100% worth it! Lol you never left! Next eclipes is in Spain! Possible move?

[@ahaveland]

@@AveRage_Joe definitely, if possible! I worked hard for last 3 years after surviving 1st wave of COVID and bought a 2020 M3 AWD in cash. Already did a road trip to UK and back, so Spain and back de nada... Looking fwd to it. May take a few kW of portable panels too! 10 arrived today so will try them out charging in middle of nowhere soon...

[@AveRage_Joe]

Nice! If we go Ill look you up! What panels you get?

[@ahaveland]

@@AveRage_Joe can't see my earlier comment here, but they're Boguang flexible ones, x10 to add to the 2 I got a couple of years ago, about $65 each. Check out solar cannon ball run - watch?v=zJnkbn1BIZQ - this Joe drove across the US in a model Y, charging just from the 64 panels he carried, with a solark inverter and 5kWh Life battery... Thinking of doing something similar - maybe a solar run to Spain? 🙂

[@rodneysmith1750]

That is the way lived should be lived, beautiful!

[@brucebugbee6604]

Looked like an awesome trip. Nice that you got to visit the area that you grew up in and as a bonus run into your childhood friend. You had an great place to watch the eclipse. Much better than the old cemetery south of Findley, OH that I watched it from, lol. The eclipse was amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@mueckenhoeffer]

Your wife planned the whole road trip out? You are one lucky fellow. Her trip book is over the top!

[@AdamDeLay07]

Thanks for bringing us along on the trip!

[@acinfla9615]

Thanks for sharing! Just seen my first cyber truck in the wild the other day myself. Little road in central Florida. I thought it was kinda odd. Thank again 😊

[@jimginnyohio]

Nice road trip! I need to hire Lauren to help plan out my next vacation. That was one of the best planned and documented vacation itineraries I've ever seen! Great job! Although, when visiting your old home site, I was hoping to see you plant a sign in the yard saying: Birthplace of Average Joe ;-)

[@butchwilliams7637]

That was great. My log garage is still standing. Built in late 70's. We forged the creek with no bridge. The place where you got started as Average Joe.

[@AveRage_Joe]

I was thinkin the garage was build in the early 80's lol. Yeah I remember you and Mom driving through the rocky creek possibly even during flooding🤔😀

[@thedabbler2753]

Quite an experience. Oddest sensation as the temperature cools and outside lights kick on.

[@remog38]

Great video interesting and well put together thanks .

[@loucinci3922]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks for Watching!

[@offgridwanabe]

Nothing Average about this video! Jealous would be an understatement. A trip to remember for a lifetime. Black reminds me of Canada well some of it we have cities too.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks Man!! It was a trip to remember!! I couldnt believe I found our old house! I kinda miss those back woods!!

[@marknewberry2855]

We all miss the SUPA DUPA WG11 You need to come back and visit now that the grinch is gone brotha

[@marknewberry2855]

After watching the whole video that looks like an awesome experience!!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Hows the current Supa WG11? Gettener done or not as good😉😆 I do want to stop in! Still need to stop at gate to get the ID card stamped for approval! The eclipse was AWESOME btw.

[@p.j.wilkins1321]

"We're staying for Three days?? There's a lake????" Dude, she put it all in the binder, did you even read it? 😄

[@AveRage_Joe]

Lol All I knew the trip was planned 💁‍♂️😆 Few days before I ask questions like a normal dude...right?🤣

[@kevroodenman3283]

Thanks filter photos cant show the mysterious tinsel or shadowy lines on ground from pinhole with long cool next one 2040 focal length shape

[@zmarko]

What a great little Air B&B! Very cute place with an awesome view.

[@AveRage_Joe]

It was the purfect little place!!😎

[@oceanz55]

Awesome video Joe! Thanks!

[@AveRage_Joe]

I appreciate the watch!!!💥🤘

[@terrytexas8257]

Excellent! It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced and best of all I didn't have to leave home for it!

[@AveRage_Joe]

They really are something to experience! How long was the totality at your house?

[@smigletat9634]

@ 17:16…What exactly is the name of this big spring in Missouri? Done all kinds of digging with nothing🤦🏻‍♂️ Not a clue…

[@samreciter]

Holy sh#! You lucky bastards!! What a place, what a weather, what a eclipse!!

[@AveRage_Joe]

It really was an AWESOME Trip!! Couldnt of asked for better! Great place, weather and Eclipse!!!💥🤘

[@loucinci3922]

Cyber Truck? How fast was it going? 88 mph

[@mitrepoocify]

Thanks Joe & Lauren for sharing this, the last total eclipse i witnessed in Blighty (UK) was in 1999, it humbles you, cheers. Diesel in my part of England is USD 1.87 AUD 2.88 per LITRE💩

[@AveRage_Joe]

I appreciate the watch!! YES!!! Humbles you is a GREAT word for it!! Lauren said the next eclipse is in Spain!! I wonder why diesel is so expensive??? Im glad I have the mini duramax. Gets great MPG's😄

[@clarencewiles963]

Nicely done ✅

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks Man!!!

[@phizicks]

3.69 a gallon!!!!?? cheap as hell. Sydney is at $2.30 A FREAKIN LITRE! your wife is so sweet hehe.good ol' starbucks lol

[@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity]

I bet you guys don’t run the roads just to grab some junk fast food or just to drive around and be seen over there in Australia at those gas prices.

[@AveRage_Joe]

I thought 3.69 was high lol. It was moar expensive along drive next to the highway. Meow 2.30 is SUPER high for a litre!!! Holy CRAP!!! Oh yeah Laurens rule when we drove somewhere out of town is to get a starbucks😆

[@AveRage_Joe]

No unnecessary driving down there FO SHO!!!😲

[@chuxxsss]

Sydney is dear, 1.89 here in Bendigo.

[@paulcurtis5496]

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thank You!!💥🤘

[@taj-ma-haul9094]

@@AveRage_Joe my CGM monitor spiked to 600 listening to Lauren order the Caramel Macchiatos with extra caramel and hazelnut! I mean if I still could, I would, but I like my feet and want to keep them! Also, I was rudely interrupted watching this by work... Trudging through the client challenges to clear some space to finish! Love your childhood estate, man the acreage and isolation! We need us some of dat out West now...

[@taj-ma-haul9094]

also... Like #52! Woot Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

[@taj-ma-haul9094]

This is why when being in Flagstaff with 100% cloud cover that day, I had no worries - you had me covered!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Lol
