[@SoldiersDad]

I feel like I am with a friend on the road.

[@mikeprice8186]

Thanks, Robert, for showing the true spirit of West Virginia. I grew up there. My wife is a coal miner's daughter from near Fayetteville. We used to drive the narrow winding roads and cross that little bridge. Your video warmed my heart with wonderful memories! We've been away for 58 years and are not able to travel anymore, So, your video was just like going back home.

[@rickbakker4094]

You know Robert you can only use I forgot my hiking shoes so many times lol

[@cindydavis597]

Maybe he needs to keep his hiking shoes, a sun hat and a hoodie in the truck all the time so he “won’t forget” the next time.

[@ELFF73]

Another great video Robert but I have one complaint about it. I grew up in WV and your video made me home sick for the mountains. I have lived in Florida for the past 30 years. I have taken my wife there several times and she loves the beauty of the state. Almost heaven!!

[@SoldiersDad]

West Virginia has many very nice state parks.

[@firebirdlover77]

..Now that was another Tranquil & Low Key BUT Beautiful View of Ohio & West Virginia, Thanks Robert! I noticed the date of Oct 1, 2020. I was ICU For 4 Days, Date stood out to me. Hola ~Laurie

[@ceciliasantean8284]

Best KZbin RV travel channel! Beautiful footage, great music and comprehensive information! Awesome job, Robert!👏

[@pingchen7454]

That bridge is very famous. There are a lot of pictures of this bridge but I never knew it's name or the location. Thanks Robert.

[@ruzrofficial]

Love the bridge and the state park they look beautiful .

[@ruanvanheerden1449]

Got to be one of the most beautiful states.Robert ur videos are a delight,thank u for the great content and love the new song.Safe travels

[@NYCSKYSCRAPERS-hp6pm]

Beautiful friend!

[@patriciatess]

River Gorge is a cool place Ty for sharing peaceful spot

[@markshelhart8338]

Gorgeous, even a step above your usual high standards. Always heard how underappreciated WVA is, thanks for showing why.

[@reelhappytravellers2691]

Your video expands our minds and fills our gap.........thank you so much for sharing!!!!!

[@itsgoudaful]

Thank you for taking me around the United States, Robert!! Many blessings to you and your family.

[@suzielong8802]

We appreciate you bringing these beautiful videos and staying away from home and family for months at a time.

[@Hefmier]

I visited West Virginia in November of last year. I also visited St. Albans, Charleston, New River Gorge (did a hike to Long Point) and Babcock State Park. I also visited the tiny community where my mother was born!! Another great video, Robert. And yes, I was bummed that the State Capitol was closed and the dome was wrapped up. However, when you have surgery, you are wrapped up at the beginning and the bandages are taken off. Greetings from Washington state!! :)

[@romanm9718]

Spectacular views indeed. Looks very relaxing too.

[@helenabrus191]

The New River is recognized as the second oldest river in the world and is estimated to be between 10 and 360 million years old! WOW!

[@disalvofamily231]

So why isn't called the Old River ?

[@byronbrasher8118]

​@@disalvofamily231 the credit goes to our government officials

[@Matthew-lx9ne]

I hear that Babcock looks real nice in the peak autumn leaves if you're ever back in WV during autumn you should visit it again

[@LORISDYLAN]

Glad you got to enjoy our Beautiful State!! Also for future reference please dont take it wrong it is pronounced (KAN AW WA) river.

[@TerryB751]

A beautiful state. Looks like some of those really narrow trails with stone walls on one side and deep drops on the other are better suited for Billy goats than people.

[@BillUtah]

Note to Robert... place hiking shoes in Colorado ... 😁 Loved that bridge! Thanks for the content Sir! 👏

[@homelesstravelinglivingmyd9225]

Support small business hurt by the crisis, grab a meal and growler to Go. Many Thanks for sharing Your Journey. 🙏

[@Arty_left]

When I drove “big rigs,” I used to travel that area quite a bit. Thanks for the memories! 👍🏻

[@fargobison]

These videos are so relaxing to watch after a long week thank you

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Great video! West Virginia is a very pretty State and that bridge is amazing! Thanks Robert!

[@Matthew-lx9ne]

That "instagram rock" part at 25:03 cracked me up lol

[@lbangotti]

Yay my home and where my husband and I went for honeymoon. Hope you really enjoyed. Welcome to my home

[@dakotajohnson5009]

New River Gorge is actually Americas newest national park! It was made one after you went, December 2020

[@billysue690]

Enjoy all your travels. We get to see places we may never see. Thank you for all this...From Maine. Sue and Bill

[@williamirizarry2490]

ROBERT..LOVED IT...FANTASTIC SCENARY ..THANKS FOR TAKING US ALONG.

[@gatewaysolo104]

Next time you're in mcarthur ohio you should check out the moonville tunnel in the zaleski state forest.

[@amarantocabrera8556]

A new song at the beginning of the video is unique. We want more similar songs. Continue the great job Robert.

[@thriftylady1170]

These are really good! You have a great Narrator voice. Very friendly and the video quality is great! Thank you, these are very helpful as well as entertaining and very comforting. We are so very blessed to live here!

[@JasonScottCarter]

I grew up in the Oak Hill / Fayetteville area. So much more to see and do, and the food is awesome as well. If you have a longer trip planned sometime, reach out for suggestions!

[@rlewisrn]

I’ve done some white water rafting on the New River Gorge. It’s a blast and has some gorgeous scenery along the way!!! The raft goes under the bridge at the end of the rafting trip.

[@Orion-fp4km]

A lot of Colonial Houses!

[@seemarathore6197]

Loved the new music and the video very much. Thank you so much for making these beautiful videos for us to watch.

[@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator]

Enjoyed the premiere, Robert. You visited some awesome places. We pass by the Charleston capitol building on our travels up and down I-77 when we go up to Ohio. Know we are getting close when we see the golden dome. The New River Gorge and bridge are so cool to see. The grist mill is so iconic. Thanks for a great video, Robert!

[@patriciabuchanan67]

The trouble with the video Robert, is that it is always over too soon!! LOL! Loved the bridges and the danger music you play when you are on a narrow and winding road. Thank you Robert. Stay safe!

[@billramsey7455]

I hope you enjoy making these videos as much as we enjoy watching them. 👀 Wonderful job brother Robert. Stay safe and God bless

[@storeytwinb]

What a great video! It was good to see my husband’s home state of West Virginia! He grew up across from St Albans in the town of Nitro (built as a result of the First World War). He is feeling homesick while watching your beautiful video! Btw, the river is the Kuh-NAW-uh. Not many people get the pronunciation 😊 Thank you!

[@cheekyj6441]

Love watching your videos Robert. I love USA and since we can not travel there from Australia its great to watch your videos. 💗💗💗

[@yankeebiscuitfan]

Thank you for putting the release time back on 3 PM CET. Now I can continue my tradition of having a KZbin Sunday afternoon. Nice vid as always.

[@thegeipels]

Perfect day at New River Gorge Bridge...that's my birthday sept 30th 😊😊😊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ranimouf]

Oh Robert! You're back. I thought you ditched the RV and took a desk job. Hhhh lol. Keep traveling and bring us along with you.

[@RViewofAmerica]

Thank you Robert for this amazing video. We are the couple that met you in Saint Albans at the free campsite. WVa was my (Patti) childhood hometown. I haven’t seen a nicer video from any other fellow traveler about this beautiful state! It was great meeting you! Karl and Patti from RView of America.

[@TravelingRobert]

It was great meeting you too.

[@MOSCOWZ]

Fly pelican fly....Fly Robert fly you are amazing man ..lots of love from Pakistan.

[@jasonbergeron6347]

Getting summer 2020 wrapped up!!

[@jennm1144]

We just returned from a 2 week road trip to TN (GSM), Blue Ridge Parkway to Shenandoah NP, Monticello and Mount Vernon. We went through WV on the way home and traveled along U.S. Route 60, so beautiful!! Thanks for an amazing video as always, stay safe and happy travels!

[@blackpanoverland3852]

Greetings from West Virginia. You did a Great Job highlighting the beauty of the Mountain State. Thank You and come back soon.

[@Veets-VA3VMD]

We love passing through WV and always stop off at the Gorge on our ways ♥️

[@marielinejuillard9495]

Thank you Robert for all this beautiful places you take us, I learned so much about this amazing country by your travels , and we cannot wait to go on our own adventures, we already bought a class just waiting for the house to sell . Cannot wait!

[@richardkrueger6654]

Been watching you for a while on utube TV but can’t comment on TV your show is wonderful you should have a disclaimer your show is very very addictive I can’t stop watching it I am retired and going to travel with the little woman this summer in my new NV Nissan van pulling my little guy teardrop trailerThe one thing I really have learned is to slow down stop at all the rest areas and all the scenic turn out and don’t rush thanks again for a great show

[@cravenmorehead1552]

Idea...keep your hiking shoes, waterbottle and a flashlite in your truck...lol

[@sashasavisha146]

That river and bridge is gorgeous. West Virginia is lovely.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Great adventure, my son and I just visited Hocking Hills and then New River Gorge a couple of weeks ago. We explored the national park mostly, so it was great to see the nearby state parks in your video. We'll definitely return, thanks for sharing.

[@joycemosakowski3648]

Robert you take us to the most coolest places. Thank you for your adventuress ways.

[@marycallanwieth2152]

That sky island trail must be gorgeous in the spring when all the flowers are in bloom 🌺 azaleas I think.

[@georgiarogers9257]

Hi Robert, Another awesome mini film. You sold it, I now would love to travel to West Virginia! Thanks for your insight!

[@charlesgall7829]

Robert, I have become addicted to your channel! Just saw the Zion trip and I give you a lot of credit for doing that climb and sharing those views. Your tours are better than any of those TV travelogues. You are free to be honest about your trips.If you don't think something is what you were expecting , you say so . Keep traveling!

[@thecurtisfamily3810]

The man the myth the legend traveling Robert.

[@lbangotti]

Enjoyed the video. My family drove up there for day trip not too long ago and it was the last trip my dad drove us on for he since has passed away. I was thinking about that while watching. Sweet memories. Next time have dinner at glen ferris inn. It’s good and folks there are sweet. :)

[@jimsowder446]

Great job on the area Robert. I live in Ansted which joins Hawks Nest State Park. My wife grew up within a mile of the New River George Bridge.

[@cindydavis597]

Robert, maybe you could take a fall trip to be a “leaf peeper”. Where I am in Georgia there is not a lot of good places to look at all the beautiful yellow, red and orange leaves. Thank you.

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Traveling Robert😊😊🎸🎸🎵🎵, what a wonderful trip through West Virginia. As you know, the only part of WV I have seen was Harper's Ferry so following you to epic places like the New River Gorge and bridge was absolutely SPECTACULAR! Enjoyed the walk to the rapids for another epic view looking up toward the bridge. I also found out recently that what was the New River Gorge National River is now the New River Gorge National Park & Preserve, AWESOME! OUTSTANDING footage of beautiful West Virginia. Looking forward to the next destination. I'm coming to Miami and Key West very soon, possibly June. Can't wait to see the PELICANS!! And, maybe Traveling Robert😊😊👍👍.

[@teresahernandez9604]

Hola! This is video #2 and I love! Great job👍🏽

[@jonash6070]

I absolutely LOVE the soundtrack at 4:16 and throughout the whole episode. I also love all your episodes, safe travels. :D

[@patrickbourgeois8934]

Again really enjoyed the show it's amazing how much energy that you have to keep on going and going I'd be nice to just sit there and listen to you tell stories I think they'd be very interesting😮

[@debbiewerner7124]

West Virginia is so Beautiful. Lucky to have it next door to me. ❤

[@kathyhepler382]

Beautiful states!!!! Safe travels!!!!!

[@almamorales4158]

Beautiful video... Very interesting bridge.see you on the road....... rivers with beautiful stones. Congrats and see you on the road.... Love MOM...>>>

[@beckysonnier6369]

Thank you for taking me along. I don’t believe I have ever visited West Virginia, it’s a beautiful state.

[@glendasharp5057]

Robert, I especially enjoyed your spectacular photography at the New River Gorge. By the way, my husband & I plan to visit Hocking Hill State Park when we take a road trip in May thanks, in part, to your last video.

[@doreenmcleod8444]

Love the New River Gorge and always love your hikes. My husband jumped the bridge on Bridge Day about 15 years ago. Great video.

[@kirkkrajewski3344]

so happy to watch these thank you keep them coming

[@ElaineSimplyEL]

nice to see green nature and water!

[@angierainey482]

Like the new music! Great video as always.

[@lancelaw760]

Sounds like there's a new music

[@RichardinNC1]

Nice video. I'm from WV and have been to the New River Gorge many times. The New River is great for beginner white water rafting. It starts with easy ones and builds up by then end at the bridge. You need to visit during bridge day where they base jump parachute off it! Third Saturday in Oct. I need to visit other locations you show such as Babcock SP.

[@hinslensen682]

Again a beautiful episode!!!

[@deba175]

i was born in Beckley love the state parks finally got your Beer IPA

[@unknownriderinbound]

Another thumb up on the new music! 👍

[@shawnpatterson8132]

Thank you Robert, for another excellent video. West Virginia looks amazing and definitely is getting added to our list of must visit destinations. Our snow is finally melted here in New Brunswick Canada, and our camping season is just around the corner. Really looking forward to getting our border open, so that you guys can come and visit our wonderful land, and that we can once again visit yours. So much to see and so many fine places to camp here in North America. As always, safe and happy travels.

[@royrobbins2214]

I've stayed in St. Albans riverside twice. Very nice.

[@halfpac5]

Great videos! Such the irony with the crummy weather when visiting West Virginia

[@josephmalloytravels7516]

Great video. I would have to close my eyes going over that bridge😑

[@SteadyGhetner]

Wild and Wonderful! As always, another great vlog of the big 2020 summer trip. Thank you. Much like the other states, there's more to see the next time you come through the Mountain State. I live in the Northern part (Preston County) and there is plenty more beauty to be had around here. You haven't used it all up, yet! Please keep well and keep on, cheers.

[@recalculatingbus9305]

We found you by accident a few months back, subscribed and have enjoyed you since!! Love this video!! We'll head this way on our next adventure. Thanks for all your good info!! Robin & Scott from Recalculating Bus

[@JC-dh4gq]

Best show on tv 👍🏻

[@Orion-fp4km]

Virginia is very Pretty and Plush! Nice River!

[@bonsaitreehouse5534]

That is West Virginia, which is its own state, NOT Virginia.

[@irenepennington7032]

Great video😊

[@DG_ontheroad]

Beautiful view , thanks again, the best 👍 thanks Robert. Daniel from Fort Lauderdale fl

[@Astragoth2]

Very nice!

[@PAULY-P]

Would be nice if you could showcase some towns near the mountains in SC and maybe down to Aiken into Augusta GA.

[@remembergodisalwayswithyou6862]
