    You do an incredible job documenting life in obscure places in America and you do it with such charm because there's no pretentiousness about it at all. Nor do you look down upon these lesser known places. Your videos, whether intentional or not, have become a sort of living history.

    I have to say it from time to time, I absolutely love those “still” takes of things and places either the ambient sound in the back. Never saw any other channel doing that. It invites us to some contemplation.

    Ya know I thought you were going to say all the people that live in Bill Wyoming live in that one hotel. Where they could hold their public meetings. I'm just kidding around. I could just picture it though. Wow I find that is fascinating about the rail road has to stop and rest and eat at the diner. That is really so interesting. I just have to say I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING OF INTEREST FROM YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MY MORNING LEARNING SESSION.

    I've never been to Wyoming before; it sounds like a loner's paradise. Lol Bill is fascinating considering how small the town is. The abandoned store and post office look really neat. : ) When I first started watching your channel a long time ago I thought Jackalopes were real because of the convincing taxidermy. The train museum was cool. I've always wanted to sleep on a train at night. I'm glad your hat got another pin. : D

Just an FYI you’re in my part of the country when I first came to Wyoming This is the city that I first settled in Casper so I know exact where the places that you have been visiting to there’s a lot of history there and if you get a chance to stick around, you’ll be able to see all the attractions that Casper has to offer. Thanks for showing this, and sharing, in between time you take care and be safe.🫶🏻❤️🤠

    Just wanted to reach out from near Detroit, Michigan and let you know that I am signing up in your patreon if i can figure it out.. I started watching your videos about 2 years ago and recently have gone back in time and have been looking up your older videos ...I watch Adam and Tampa Jay and Justin Scarred and Faces of the Forgotten and Scott on tape and History Hunters but your videos bring me America and places I may never get to go in my lifetime ..I cried real tears when your Mississippi river videos ended .I have watched many do Rte 66 but not anyone else do the Big Old Man River ..I feel a special connection to you somehow ..old enough to be yours and Jenns mothers. My oldest daughter turned 34 on 7/11..and my youngest is 20 yrs old and still at home ..hoping we can get 1 more trip with him..he loves Pigeon Forge because we rent a cabin and enjoy all of the area plus we need to drive the scenic route thru Smokies this time. I am not healthy so i am really trying to keep it altogether in order to plan our trip . God bless you and Jenn and please know I always keep you in my prayers for safe travels !

    A few North East transit creators got on a private car equipment move a few months back (they know a guy) and actually used the kitchen (bar water, guy couldn't get the hook-up to work for them). Justin of Well There's Your Problem Podcast thought he was going to die during the journey-but not because of cooking on a moving vehicle (it was hooked up to the Cardinal, which is heavily restricted due to the portion between Charlottesville, VA and Charleston, WV being poor quality and/or squished between a river and the mountains so its very windy so it can't go that fast anyway)
