You may have been the first person in history to say the words “looking forward to Ohio” lol!
Must be someone from that state up North.... Go Buckeyes.... Ohio great, except during the winter such why I escape to FL.
Lol
Welcome to Michigan, Robert.
Hope you can stay longer next time to see the Lake Michigan side of the state.
Be safe in your travels.
Hey Uncle Dave54. I'm Kaleb and on my channel I make travel vlogs on my traveling and I would appreciate it if you could come and check out my youtube channel and subscribe to it and it would make my day. Thanks man and be safe.
I've been to the Ford Museum. You could easily spend several days there, and not see it all.
Here's something you probably didn't know about Henry Ford (and a connection my wife has) - Henry Ford was big into recording and preserving folk music. My wife's grandfather worked for Henry Ford, and he was a folk musician. He played music for Mr. Ford and his researchers - and her grandpa had a BIG repertoire of folk songs, which the researchers wrote down (music and words). Mr. Ford offered to pay her grandpa for his time, but he refused.
A few months later, there was something like a parade coming down their road. Her grandpa owned a rather decent farm for the area and time, and this "parade" was a brand new Fordson tractor and all the accessories/attachments. It was a gift from Mr. Ford to her Grandpa for helping them preserve all sorts of old, nearly forgotten folk songs.
I'd dearly LOVE to get my hands on that tractor... but it's likely gone. (I hope some kin of hers preserved it and as many of the attachments as possible.) I do strongly hope that it stays in the family in some way.
you are the best. My wife is from Michigan we were planing to be up there for a visit but this year has been crazy. love all the oldschool cars around. you are the only travel blogger i can actually watch your music and themes are so relaxing like the complete opposite of 103rd ave in Hialeah. I love how you still had to find an espresso LOL - and honest review about the food not being over the top.. its okay to be honest. #THEBEST
Hey Florida Hood Vlogs I'm Kaleb. I just recently checked out your channel and I really like your vlogs and it would mean a lot if you could check out my channel and maybe give me some advice and to subscribe and help me out it would mean a lot. I do travel vlogs in New Jersey and check out other states on my adventures. Thanks man bye.
Hello Robert, I remember seeing you on 275 outside of Detroit. I was reading the side of ur rv and tried to remember ur channel name and could not. I do follow a couple of rv channels on here, so about to months ago u popped up in my feed. I told my wife that's the guy I saw on 275. We really enjoy your videos, so tonight we are watching ur Michigan video here and right at the 13:48 mark I noticed me passing u on the highway, I'm driving the red Ford Excursion on the left! How cool I made it on ur video ! We hope to meet u in the future. We are purchasing a Jayco Eagle to be pulled by my Excursion!
You stop at the most fascinating places. Wow, Michigan is a "gold Mine" of sights to see ! Thanks for sharing it with us Robert !
I am giving my age but back in 1963, while in northern IN and still in high school, I visited the Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. Great place. Thanks Robert for bring back the memories.
Happy Sunday Robert--Thanks for another great virtual day on the road! Lunch at Zehnder's looks delicious! Don't you just love the serendipity of rolling into a town and finding out there's an interesting event like a car show going on? It's cool to being able to re-visit the Henry Ford Museum through your eyes. I still have my souvenir Wienermobile from the Mold-A-Rama vending machine there.
From what I understand, you're on the verge of heading out for your next big trip. Happy trails!
We have to just really compliment you on your videos on the interesting places you take us to. Your videos of a traveling RV are unlike anyone else. Thank you.
If you’re trying to see more of the Detroit area and like the classic cars, you should check out the Woodward Dream Cruise in August. People from all over the country come and bring their classic cars and drive down Woodward Ave. You should also check out Greenfield Village next time. A very cool historical village with model T’s driving around. Downtown Detroit is worth giving another another go as well!
WOW... That Henry Ford Museum looks amazing! Seems like a person could spend days discovering/exploring that place.
It's really well done. Make the pilgrimage.
We were in Frankenmuth 3 years ago today! We also visited the Henry Ford Museum. We really enjoyed this video!
Sad to see the last installment of my home state! Sorry you didn't have more time to see Michigan. So much beautiful scenery. Also all the breweries you missed! :-)
Next time!
Oh, Robert, Greenfield village is beautiful. Hope next time you’ll go see it. Lots of walking. So much history. I’m glad you saw the museum. How about those humongous locomotives? Great video Robert, thanks 👍
We visited Michigan for the first time a couple of years ago. Went after discovering Frankenmuth on CZcams. And always wanted to go to Mackinac Island. Loved everything we came across. I’m not a fan of fried chicken but Zehnder’s was my favorite ever. 😋 I can’t wait to go back to Michigan. And now I want to go to the museum. Thanks for sharing.
At 24:20 on the right you walked past the display of the chair Lincoln was shot in, I always thought that was one of the cooler items they had there.
What a quaint little town Frankenmuth is the lower peninsular looks nice , What a cool awesome museum in the next town too . Love the museum artifacts . I hope detroit gets back its motor roots . Nice video as usual .
Your honesty about food and drinks is refreshing.
To many ads
Ford museum looked very interesting. Have to say first time ever hearing about a church running a camp ground, good use of land and income maker. Enjoyed this video.
Solid coverage of MI Rob. Enjoyed all 3 parts. You should see Frankenmuth in the winter time.....the whole town turns into Santa's village. Bronners has a drive through Christmas scene. Just the best. I'll have to add Henry Ford's museum to my list. That was very intriguing following along with you. Very interesting such diverse exhibits. Loved the old Airstream and the presidential limo's to name two. The circular tin house exhibit looks like something Wally Bynum would have come up with.
Really enjoy these videos... I got to go to some of these places... Thanks
Tim, Nina, Phoenix, and Locklin
Really enjoyed your MI videos. You done a great job. The towns and island were very stunning. Very picturesque. Well done Robert.
Thank you so much for sharing this . I am 79 years old and when I started to school. We had one teacher, one room, 8 grades and an out house. My mother fixed my lunch in a lunch box. We we moved to South Caroline in 1950 we had bathroom, gone room, one grade and a cafeteria. I was so amazed. I hope you have a wonderful week. And in the winter time we heated with a wood stove in the school.
Dear Robert, I love your videos always. I look forward to seeing them all the time. Your videos are very informative, entertaining, and family friendly. I have been watching you several years now on CZcams. Thanks my brother, we love you and your family. Chester a. Baker.
Great video, Robert. Michigan is great. Great visit to Henry Ford Museum. Awesome place.
UGH!, Robert. You missed the greatest part of Michigan. Next time, travel up or down the Lake Michigan shoreline from Petoskey to St. Joe, but you better have 3-4 weeks to devote because it's that great!
The train was in Greenfield Village, that's for another whole day! Been there 3 times in my life. This was my favorite video!
Another great video we waited all week for!! Have a great week,hope your summer planning is going well.Best wishes from Earl and Kathy from Minnesota.
Appreciate you adding the "Chapters" option in the description and on the video page. Thanks
Michigan is awesome!
Another nice easy to watch and listen to video Robert🙂
Loved the Ford Museum tour. ❤
Great video. Since I am a Christmas fanatic I was very surprised with Bronner's Christmas Wonderful. I like Henry Ford Museum. The beautiful bridge....... Congrats. Keep up. Love MOM...>>>
That map is looking quite full Robert!
Just think of the dusting the Henry Ford museum requires... (I know, of all the things to think about 🥴)
Thanks for the video and see you on the next video.
Bill in Utah
Wow, awesome video! Thank you Robert.
Hi robert. We watch you a lot. You need to redo Michigan you didn't even see anything in the thumb. Its a great state :)
I hope you enjoyed your visit to our state.
To me living in North Yorkshire, UK it is like a holiday seeing your Videos, they are absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much Robert.
Nice Vlog as always! Also when you go to Michigan again I would recommend visiting the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.
I haven’t been to Frankenmuth in 30 years, it looks the same. You missed the beautiful Glockenspiel, it’s really a beautiful fully functional huge clock, it’s amazing. Bronners is amazing as well, it actually gotten larger since we were there. I visit their website regularly, just love the place.
Been to Greenfield Village and I thought we went to the Henry Ford Museum, but I don't remember any of that awesomeness. We must have skipped it and now I regret it.
Thank you are always. my bucket list is growing. lol
Hi Robert , I have to recommend the Charles Kuralt’s America book and Audio Book. It’s good to listen to while traveling 👍
Amazing Video. I really enjoyed all of it so much, Thanks! 😂😂
Man the pain on Robert's face as he left the Christmas store without being able to find an RV ornament... crushing.
I know they have a whole section of rv ornaments
yes. i liked this video on Michigan. whats missing you say. more of it. thanks.
Some of my favorite foods fried chicken and onion soup yum! Henry Ford Museum was cool 😊
Robert, thank you for the tribute to Mrs. Parks.
Woohoooo! Glad you finally made it to our great state! Next time you have to do a meet up at one of our breweries. That would be awesome!
Amazing video, always a delight.❤️👍
Still digging your vids. Thanks
Robert, my dad told me Cuba's presidents pre 1959 also use to ride around in Lincolns...
The steam whistle you heard while leaving The Henry Ford is the train that goes around Greenfield Village. Henry Ford was the first to circle a museum/recreation area with a train going around the whole park like that, and the idea was repeated at many other amusement parks built after, like the Disney parks.
You brought me back to my time in Michigan you have made a series of great videos & I'm glad to be a big fan of yours we also share to same name Robert!!
Excellent video
I finally got to see my crossing of Mighty Mac lol! Frakenmuth looks like a pretty cool town! When you get back to the PNW you should visit Leavenworth, WA another Bavarian themed town. The Henry Ford museum looked fantastic! I enjoyed your drive through Detroit, it looks like a town on the comeback. I did notice one interesting thing, one of the streets you were driving on was signed as US 12. Not sure if you are aware of this but the western terminus of US 12 is in Aberdeen, WA which you passed through earlier on this trip! Thanks for another great video. You are giving me lots of good places to visit if I ever find myself in some of the areas you have visited!
That was a gooooooooood three part episode Robert!!!
Robert you should have asked someone at Bronners for the section of RV ornaments. I know they have them because I bought one. Love your videos. By the way I’m from Michigan about an hour from Frankenmuth.
Did you notice you drove by the site of the old Tiger Stadium?
That ballpark on the left at 35:30, is constructed at the site of Tiger Stadium at the corner of Michigan Ave and Trumbull.
Thanks again for sharing.
They way it use to be in the Dixiecrat south. In the West, we never had white only water fountains or white only in the front of the bus.
loved the video, great Henry Ford museum so fascinating! I could loose an entire week there . Driving by the old Detroit tigers stadium was cool too. The old model T's out driving was so fascinating. I would so enjoy riding in one . Have a wonderful and blessed day! Love your channel! 🇺🇸⛵🏝🌅
Nice video. You really missed out though by not going through the covered wooden bridge.
Thank you.
Very refreshing.
56 Chevy! My favorite, too. 😉🇨🇦
Hey marian frances. I'm Kaleb and on my channel I make travel vlogs on my traveling and I would appreciate it if you could come and check out my youtube channel and subscribe to it and it would make my day. Thanks man and be safe.
The first stop sign and streetlight was in Detroit Michigan
I love this!
Hello Traveling Robert! I really enjoyed the video of you crossing one of the most spectacular bridges in the entire country, The Mighty Mac! Frankenmuth was really nice but I really enjoyed the footage of your visit to the Henry Ford Museum. I have been to this HUGE museam during my trip going north through Michigan. It took me a whole day to see everything and I would go again! Robert, I think you should take another trip to Michigan and visit places that you have yet to see such as The Motown Museum, with your music history this Museum is a must see! I really enjoyed my visit to this Museum and I know you will too. Another must see is the SPECTACULAR Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and it's 400 ft drop down to Lake Michigan! Another is the famous Soo Locks boat tour in Sault St Marie, MI, and you can also view the ships passage through the locks at a viewing platform. The Shipwreck Museum in Whitefish Point is a wonderful museum along Lake Superior, and I would go back to Pictured Rocks and take the boat ride and see the beautiful cliffs and waterfalls dropping over the cliffs, the best way to experience Pictured Rocks. Hopefully next time you will have more time. Great video Robert!
al richardson I’ve visited all of those places except the Motown museum. But I live in Michigan. Lots to see and do here.
@@susankula7709 Hi Susan😊! You live in a beautiful state.
The Ford Museum looks like a nostalgic ride down Route 66 end-to-end under one building.
Love your videos..you should of went to greenfield village..loved going there!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the Henry Ford Museum through your eyes..
Hey Sharon Anspach. I'm Kaleb and on my channel I make travel vlogs on my traveling and I would appreciate it if you could come and check out my youtube channel and subscribe to it and it would make my day. Thanks man and be safe.
We love classic car. We have a 1956 Chevy Bel Air red and white.
I was born and raised in Toronto, Detroit and Buffalo may never recover.
Well they fix the joint up I was there in 74 in Detroit when my uncle was in Medschool
Hi Robert. I've just started watching your show on CZcams. It's very enjoyable to watch especially during the lockdown. Can you film more meals that you make in your RV?
Hope this doesn't cause even more regret, but with your interest in music. Bit surprised you didn't go to Hitsville USA. The Motown museum and original recording studio for Motown records.
Hey CNumb1969. I'm Kaleb and on my channel I make travel vlogs on my traveling and I would appreciate it if you could come and check out my youtube channel and subscribe to it and it would make my day. Thanks man and be safe.
I was going to say the same thing.
A very fancy restaurant to serve fried chicken. The town has a lot of similarities with Helen, but this town looks more laid back and genuine.
Thank you very much for taking me to Frankenmuth and the Henry Ford Museum, "Rushing Robert". I enjoy traveling with you, learning something new in each of your episodes. Greetings from someone who lives in the real Franken (Franconia) in Bavaria, Germany.
You missed a great car show in Frakenmuth. One of the best. If your in to that. The first exit in Ohio off of 75 is my exit. (Alexis road)
Next time, try Bavarian Inn..the chicken is way better. 😋❤ and so cool to see you at HF museum and cruising around the D. 😎✊
The Henry Ford Museum is NOT in Detroit. It is in Dearborn, Michigan which is a big difference.
Zhenders chicken is, good. Not worth the price and hype though. My family and I like Frankenmuth for the indoor water park called splash village.
At 98 ms zehender still can be seen at the restaurant. Used to slide down the banister as a kid. Did you go to the shop for some bread to go?
Gunzenhausenplatz... I was born in Gunzenhausen! :D
Thank you for these wonderful videos! 🚐❤️
Everyone tells me if you visit Frankenmuth you have to try the chicken dinner. I ask them if that's on the "Welcome to Frankenmuth" road sign. 😂 The town has a huge Christmas store opened year round.
Henry Ford museum is huge. Been there ten years ago. The museum takes a long time to go through. There was no time for my friends and I to see the village and the other area. Need two days there to see all three areas at your leisure.
I live near Michigan. 😊
Enjoyed the Video
Wow. Been to all these spots....and we drive near identical trucks, ours being a 2019 V6 2x4 WT, not LT. Do you have a transmission cooler? We don't, just an after market brake controller, though i see a lot of people who recommend the transcooler. We are pulling a Viking 17fq, so similar size and weight to what u pull too.
Greetings Robert....excellent video. Car shows and meetings are awesome, my cup of tea. I hope your Keys Marathon getaway was great.
Wow Robert your map is almost complete!!! That is so cool!
I feel the same about Frankenmuth chicken, Robert. It's just OK.
I am definitely going to add the Henry Ford Museum to the list. I love discovering local festivals.
You should have came down the west coast of MI. Or at least half way down.
I was surprised that the Henry Ford Museum included Chevys and even foreign cars.
Me too, right before that showed up, I told my wife that the non-Ford cars would not be there.
Thank you Robert for traveling for us..love it!
Interesting fact that over 2 million people lived in Detroit in the 50's
Hey mikey mike. I'm Kaleb and on my channel I make travel vlogs on my traveling and I would appreciate it if you could come and check out my youtube channel and subscribe to it and it would make my day. Thanks man and be safe.
Mike, interesting and sad now, can not imagine a city decline so much.
@@forry100 Very sad indeed! Motor city...Once the automobile manufacturing capital of the world.
@@mark98070 I have done a lot of trucking in Detroit, had some guys leased to me many years ago doing work for NS's Triple Crown Services, seen some great things and sadly a lot of bad things. Doing work for Carter Lumber hauling lumber back into the US from Windsor it was always sad how bad it looked coming into the US. I heard it is getting better though. I was surprised at some of the streets Robert went down, even in a semi I would have been scared. As a farm kid from Ohio, the neatest thing I did was go into the Ford plant, but even it in the 90's was nothing compared to what it once was. Glad to know that Ford is saving or attempting to save the old train station.
@@forry100many years ago, I worked for a lumber broker (Mid America Lumber). Carter Lumber was one of our customers. I remember having loads sit at the border because the stockade fencing wasn't origin stamped. The Canadian postal strikes messed us up too. Detroit isn't as bad as those days, but, the corruption continues.
Boy Robert I really enjoyed visiting Henry Ford Museum. Thank You
Awesome video! I’m quite stunned the Kennedy limo is displayed. I know it was completely done over for the presidents up to Reagan, but still gaudy. So much is put into the vehicles and the actual mileage is low, I guess that’s how they last ten years or so. ✌🏼
Wow, the museum was awesome; well worth the stop.
I’m sorry Robert, but the background music at 17:45 sounds like it came from my favorite Christy Canyon film?
The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are in DEARBORN not Detroit.
The museum was awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!
