    I am a new subscriber. I found you through Traveling Robert. We don’t have an RV, but sure do enjoy living vicariously through you and seeing lots of new places. Feels like we are right there with you. Best wishes from Cape Coral, FL. Love Jax, too. He’s so personable with you. Am trying to train our cat to wear a harness. All he does when he has it on is fall over so far, though. 😁

    • @AnnBearForFreedom
      @AnnBearForFreedom Před 4 lety +5

      I wonder if it might be worth giving him his supper (or maybe a few treats) while he's wearing his harness, just to prove to him there is a reason for remaining standing while its on.

    • @barbarar7994
      @barbarar7994 Před 4 lety +3

      We live full-time in an RV. Our cat (now 5 yrs) LOVES her harness and must take a daily walk in it just like a dog. People that see her are amazed - so cute. Keep at it and it will work; she was scared at first.

    Eric, I just heard your comment about tubing over the falls. You should check because a lot of those type falls have a culvert at the bottom with angle iron sticking up. Also the water pressure is unbelievable. The water is only about 3-4 feet deep. Years ago I tried to tube over the same way. It threw me off the tube and kept dragging me down. The water also tore my life jacket off. It finally spit me out. My friends had to help me get to the bank.
    I really enjoy your videos with Jax. It shows that you put a lot of work and effort into them. Thanks again!

    Well I know this video is 3 months old but I must say you are invited to come to southern Missouri and the "real" Ozark Mountains. We have some beautiful streams here that are crystal clear and so beautiful. Maybe near Van Burean MO. The Current River runs through there. I haven't been able to watch your videos for about 2 years so I am very far behind. I like your motor home you are driving now and I am so glad to see both you and Jax alive and thriving. We sold our motorhome this spring and I sure am missing it. I was the one that did any traveling in it and I enjoyed it so very much but I told myself that when I turned 70 I would give it up and that was 5 years ago. We sold it to a man that is going to put it out in the woods a few miles from us and live in it. He wasn't even going to license or insure it. Hope we can do some more catching up with you. Looking good with the weight loss. Bye and hug Jax for me.

    I loved it. As I have mentioned before we live in the Joplin MO area just a little south of where you are. My daughter in law is from up on that area.Stockton and Greenfield. My son has fished that area a lot. He says when it is flooding and they release water from the lake at the dam..the fish seem to congregate around that area on the Sac River. Glad you had a good time. The sun is suppose to come out Wednesday but I guess you will e on your way. Stay well and enjoy your travels. We sure enjoy them.

T.trailer owners, our home base in Washington in the gorge. 😊Mainly boondockers, we try to stay away from rv parks & crowds. Maybe we'll cross paths some day and hang around the campfire. Idaho and Montana seems to be our happy place lately.

Sorry to have to tell you, but while you were watching the movie last night ~ well Jax Man caught some fish (They bite at night!) Jax scaled, cleaned, de-boned, filet and put them in the freezer. WTG Jax Man, it was a good fishing after all~ Lol. Glad you had a relaxing time. Looked like a nice campground. Sure hope they can turn it around after the waters recede.

    Hey Eric, when you go fishing, get away from that fast moving water, you know, like there at Caplinger Woods Campgrounds, on the far south end where that creek flows into the river, or a channel, and get some beef or calf liver, a nice hook and fish, on the bottom, for that nice size channel cat. What liver you don’t use, you can freeze until the next time. Just a suggestion. Really enjoy your videos. Good luck, be safe and have fun.
