I've never seen the look of elation on someone's face over a burger until now 😂. Hope you all had a great time.

[@aquiltingmama]

Gary, you a phenomenal Dad! You take such good care of your loved ones. Mel and the children are blessed indeed. Nice video of your family trip. Safe travels wherever you go.

[@bpatton3671]

May I suggest, joining your local library, once you do, you can check out audiobooks. Most times all on line, not even going to the library to check them out or return them! The world is the limit of your selections! AND. It's All free! ❤❤

[@OurMountainHome316]

We love audio books. Thanks to our library, we get them all for free. Audiobooks are our favorite thing to listen to while driving.

[@bpatton3671]

When I was in the Navy and Stationed in San Diego, I went home to pick up a 1956 4 door hardtop Chevy! I drove route 66 from Springfield, Missouri! Down through Oklahoma and down the Southern Route to San Diego!

[@285113z]

Wow the scenery is so gorgeous..and those vast mountains so majestic! Thanks for taking us along, safe travels SLR!

[@ryankelly5303]

I HOPE YOU ENJOYING GARY’S FAMILY REUNION.

[@kathycollins5334]

All jokes aside..My eyes teared up watching your face at the In an Out!! 4 years ago...

[@garyseitz6133]

Thank you Gary and Mel for taking us along on your venture. God bless and stay safe and enjoy

[@hallenw]

Looking at your boy… and a song keeps running through my head… “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth…” 🎶 🎵 😂

[@johnpiper82]

Thanks for allowing us to share your journey! If you could please use your remote head mics you use on your hats. They are so much better in all your photo inviorments. Love to all!

[@angeladouthitt8837]

Well, I've been following the Grainger Smith KZbin videos of his and his wife's trip to Israel touring the Holy Land. I've felt like I was right there with them. And now...I'm taking a trip with y'all out west and I feel like I'm right there with you. So fun! Thanks for taking me along! The farthest west I've been - in real life - is Branson, Missouri.

[@carolynklenk8467]

Four corners is a sacred place where were told to gather if things get real dicy in the future!! Its nice to see it in person from your video!! Stay safe and happy travels!! ❤ Mamma Carolyn

[@adamzimmerman7234]

Hey Mel you was drooling before you ate the hamburger as in you and Gary's eyes roll back in the head when you took a bite

[@annettemaddalone4297]

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Love you Sid 💚💚 Was so good to see you honey. We love you!

[@shellydunn9710]

Thanks for taking us on your road trip. I’ve never been west so it’s cool to see other areas of the states.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

What an AWESOME trip guy's have a wonderful vacation! God Bless you guy's!

[@butchbrown3130]

Beautiful and thanks so much for sharing. I'll also always have a love for the desert/mountains but SW Louisiana is home.

[@territhreet]

Your trip brought back tons of memories. Thanks for the road trip. ❤😊

[@willowbug8186]

I love seeing the relationship your family has with each other. It is very heartwarming, and just makes me smile.

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Mel and Gary and Family be safe Guys ❤❤ ❤❤❤ Have Fun 🤩

[@marydingus4360]

Gary u deserve a good sleep after all that long drive! I couldn't do it!❤

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

The plains are tougher than the rest, last time I went anywhere significant, I drove from about Oklahoma City, to Casper Wyoming without stopping for more than fuel. Was almost 18 hours. I don't know if I could do that again, that was ages ago now 😂

[@lorilarkin827]

Thanks for the beautiful scenery. I never been to the USA, so I love the travels without the travel legs and sore butt. 🤣😅🫶🇨🇦

[@lumilight8229]

Happy travels. Thank you for taking us along. A1 editing as per usual Mel.

[@temahenoniania6623]

Well deserved holiday Gary and Mel and family enjoy yourselves

Welcome to my beautiful State. I have been following you since you started building your cabin home. Be safe and enjoy your vacation...❤

[@lindatremblay2445]

So beautiful, thanks for sharing.

[@jerrybailey6584]

I love the kids reaction when they go to a hotel or motel. My grandkids acted like that had never been out of their house. Enjoy❤

[@treysgranty5643]

I believe it's going to be in Nashville Tn. That's what we hear. ❤ from Tennessee!!!

[@user-kk1rw3co9f]

Hi Mel Gary & kids!! I’m loving traveling along with you all. The views are stunning! I lived in Louisiana for 2 1/2 years a long time ago but never got to see much. Keep enjoying your trip and stay safe!! 💜

[@jeb3415]

What a wonderful adventure for your family. Memories for life. Our family traveled by car to nearly every continental state sometimes it was camping, or hotels or staying with family. We are blessed to live in a beautiful country and with God’s grace it will be great again. Safe travels and thanks for sharing.

[@pearlymae5705]

Ok i had to pause @ 18:59 . The veiws so far is amazing . Thank you for sharing it with us ! ❤

[@daniloevalla6875]

[@debflores9971]

Always watching, warms my heart to see west coast familiar things,like In & Out, 7-11, snowboarding. ❤

[@marycook9607]

Road lunches are the best. Safe travels. ❤❤

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

100% I have so many good memories with my family growing up, roaming around, stopping to make a sandwich and grab some chips. Good times

[@jeniferpollonais6546]

Wonderful video! I feel like I’m on the trip with you guys! Thank you for taking us along! That burger looks like it could be heaven on earth! Yummm!

[@sarashaw3901]

From a mountain dweller (at 6,150’ elevation) in New Mexico, I know your travel route oh so well! Thankful your short time in Albuquerque was restful and uneventful. My youngest son lives in Utah, and have taken the same route, with 3 of my grandbabies! It’s a very beautiful and desolate area. Safe travels!

[@paulhoneyman6923]

Great video Mel. Safe travels and I pray you all have a great time catching up with Gary's family and at the Wedding.

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

In & Out Burger is the first place my sister takes me when she picks me up from the Las Vegas airport. Last year I had zero desire for this trip as the the last time I went, it was not as good as I remembered. Maturing palette I reckon

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

I love In and Out Burgers 🍔 ❤

[@pearlymae5705]

Oh man the pure bliss there @ the last when yall took that first bite ! It says it all 😂❤

[@Jean-sh3xu]

❤ thanks for the ride 👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Beautiful travels. I got to drive home to Missouri one year, with my mom & stepdad, drove from So. CA to New Mexico in 8 hours I think. Stayed there for a week then onward to MO. It was mostly on the 40, beautiful drive. Hope your having fun with family!

[@Aldean555]

Hey thanks guys for the great video, I’m a new subscriber and I’m from New Mexico. Glad ya’ll get to see NM and the 4 corners. Safe travels and see you soon ❤🙏

[@larryfeeks6620]

Great scenery! Gotta love a road trip.

[@janellreno7480]

We stopped there on vacation when I was 16 years old,I’m now going to be 77 years old.I thought that such a neat place to see all those States at one time.🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Betsy-sp7jr]

Thank you all for sharing the trip. Brings back memories . Be safe. After thought...burgers looked yummy ❤❤❤❤

[@PattyPrice-tl7bc]

Thank you for taking us with you i love seeing the old sites and bew ones along the way. ❤ Cant wait till you get on into Utah

[@benschmid2768]

Home is where your heart is. Hi🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@carlapierle8623]

Enjoying the scenery from the cornfields of Indiana! The kids are such good little passengers! I went to the Albuquerque ballon festival in the late 90's and it was absolutely amazing!! I was like a little kid oohing and aahing at the spectacle. My first time eating at In & Out was in 2016 and I was hooked! I bet we ate there twice a day the entire time visiting California! Enjoy!!

[@laobeau]

Loved traveling along. The first time I went to 4 corners it was the metal plate in the ground surrounded by Navajo Indian booths (wood and canvas) with rickety tables selling their wares. I have a vase here in my living room that I purchased there. Also was a little blue and white bubble camping trailer with a Navajo lady Navajo fry tacos. She fried them up inside (I can't imagine the temp as this was in August) and then assembled them on a paper plate on a table outside. I think they were a dollar each. One of the best I have had however! It's changed so much now, I wouldn't recognize it. I think the dryness of the desert helps to preserve those old homesteads and structures. Here in the Midwest, they would mold, rot and fall down in a relatively short time...not to mention the hard winter effects of snow. Thanks again for sharing!!!

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

I’ve been to 4 corners USA but it was open, no seats, no shade, no shopping there before. It was over 20 years ago.

[@bigmamma6946]

The drive and colours thru Texas you said the mountains just amazing. Landscape just so pretty .

[@daisy7141]

I love my area of Arizona. The sun makes us happier and the less severe winter weather. The desert has it's own unique beauty... IN n OUT is 12 minutes from me! 😆

[@susankirksey3570]

I’m from the dessert West Texas ! I live in Mobile , Al ! I love it out there.. the openness

[@benschmid2768]

Love the video and superb visuals.hi from 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@stephenkennedy7931]

Every time you drove down through one of those basins or valleys I could just picture John Wayne turning and saying "Well I'm going to start my ranch right here from as far as you can see that way, that way and so on" LOL That homestead I'm quite sure he grew Cacti and rocks. That Four Corners was neet can you imagine taking your kids for a drive and leaving one in all different states. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@Swtspirit]

Beautiful Scenery Safe Travels Y’all

[@TheWoodHaven]

You guys are so close to me. I'm about 30 minutes south of Saratoga Springs. Edit: Maybe 40.

[@johnogan2386]

Yeah Idaho finally got an in and out so we got it we're Uptown Funk too

[@blindaedwards9528]

Such beautiful scenery...great trip❤❤❤

[@dharmy2996]

You passed right by my place near Albuquerque. Was so excited. Have a very happy trip. You said you were stopping for baseline because of the dryness but Vaseline has petroleum. I recommend castor oil. It keeps you young and it’s natural and good for so many things. Have fun beautiful family. Be blessed. 🙏♥️✨

[@user-zk4wu9ss7d]

1:16 That phone caddy on your dash looks like the site on a rifle... Aim true, folks. When I was driving through the same general area (leaving Az.) with my wife and kid I was driving a brand-new Ford Maverick (one of the first off, the line) ... yeah, that long ago. I had to stop several times on one of the road rises (a relatively low-rise ratio) because that little car had to cool down. But we got to see some marvelous country on that trip before I had to report at Ft. Ord.

[@davidroot9406]

Great framerly fun! If you guys got the time hit Oregon Coast. It's beautiful!!!

[@the_voice_of_reason]

This sustenance stop brings back great memories for me, my now ex-hubby and our three kids, about the age your kids are now, did a lot of road trips around Australia, so much fun, we always stopped for food prep at the back of the car. We had to choose the food carefully, as no fruit, vegetables and honey, was allowed across the borders, still not allowed. Great memories. My kids are now all grown up, 2 are in their 50’s and the youngest in her late 40’s. We still laugh about all the mishaps and madness on the road, the great car games, like make up words from car rego numbers we passed on the road. I spy with my eye …. And also without gps and just large paper maps! The kids would keep turning the map round and round to try and find the right route! Lots of weird stuff about haunted accommodation. 😂🤣😂🤣 Your kids will be doing the same in years to come. Remembering road trips. Best way to travel. I was the camera person and have it all documented. Cheers. 👍 🇦🇺

[@lenprice6315]

Ain’t nothing like a good family trip. Glad y’all are enjoying yourself. ……Tiny Houston MS

[@marykey5813]

Beautiful sites

[@CCRider5312]

Mel I laughed so Hard at you and the fly! The Arkansas Fly 🌳 who found himself in the Desert 🌵🤣. I bet he was like where the Hell am I & where’s the Pecker 🐓 palace? Then with his tongue 👅 hanging out and for God’s Sake where the hell is Some water in this God forsaken place ??? 😂🤣🤣 That would be a funny kid’s book 📚 “THE ARKANSAS FLY WHO FOUND HIMSELF IN THE DESERT” Then he finally hitches a ride in a cattle truck back home to Arkansas to the 41.36 ! 🤣🤣

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Hahahahaha!! I love this!!! 💚💚🐿️

[@karenbrest187]

[@bobteague4681]

In and Out burgers are great but next time you are in Russellville find What-A-Burger. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

[@CynBrown]

Looks like a great trip so far.

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Safe travels have fun

[@ireneturner2944]

Thanks for sharing those views!! WOWZER---BEAUTIFUL. Those burgers looked yummy!! You look worn-out MEL. Get you some rest soon. Love yall!! Hope your having a blast 🎉

[@adamzimmerman7234]

[@kayramage5048]

Yall are about 2 hours north of me. I live about 15 mile east of New Mexico border.

[@bpatton3671]

My problem was that the ignition could be heard through the radio! I tried a radio in the backseat, but couldn't afford all the batteries needed. Driving by myself, I did not think I would ever get across New Mexico and Arizona! Love your video, but never again for me! ❤❤

[@kenoinarizona8077]

Where we live we have a IN - OUT 2 miles from our house 👍 I personally can’t think of any place that has a better burger - I’m glad you got to experience it - it can be very addicting 😂😂 trust me I know

[@carolynmesser7199]

Have fun guys 💕💕😊

[@lyndamcclain8795]

When we went to Four Corners the outhouse was facing away from the monument and had no door on it. NOTHING was there then. Probably about 1979 or 1980.

[@larryferguson3853]

I just had a pleasant flashback watching this video. We have two girls and a boy they are all grown up now and starting their own families. But I just thought about when they were your little ones age traveling and all the memories. God bless you all and safe travels. And keep up the great videos

[@darlenevjohnson5237]

I saw the four coners in 1984. Looks more built up now. Back then Native Americans were selling jewelry and not so many buildings.

[@suzephillips9931]

On my first road trip out west from Ohio, we drove into Texas around 1 am while my wife was sleeping. Suddenly, I saw tiny red lights popping up on the horizon, and they kept increasing in number. At first, I couldn't figure out what they were. However, as I got closer, I realized that they were the wind turbines!

[@user-eo3dn4nt8n]

IM GLAD YOU GUYS ARE HAVING A GREAT SAFE TRIP. GOD BLESS LOVE YOU ANNAMAY ❤❤❤❤❤

[@pattik902]

Making good memories guys. Looks like a good time fir the family😊 enjoy your trip😊
