    Robert - I watched this video with my wife. When you talked about the parking spot you got in Winslow, we both burst out laughing! We did a cross country trip from our home in Port Saint Lucie, FL in spring 2023 and parked in the EXACT SAME SPOT!!! We also stopped at Meteor Crater and actually spent a night at Twin Arrows. Best wishes for Pelicamp West!

    …And your own personal desert sunsets await! Besides finding a little piece of the West to call your own, and the great little flashback to ‘Old Kia’, this video features the number one thing on my bucket list…The Grand Canyon (maybe next year)! The late day’s lighting there actually turned out fantastic, and whatever you’ve adjusted or changed in your A/V setup, has made a noticeable improvement in the quality of your videos. Thanks for taking the time to continually improve and invest in your stories. It’s so worth it!

    • @robertcolpitts4534
      @robertcolpitts4534 Před měsícem +2

  • @jcjc6489
    @jcjc6489 Před měsícem +1

    I think the property has a lot of potential. You can plant trees and shrubs and the biggest plus is city water, because down in the desert water can be a problem. I like the vibe of that area in comparison to the other places you looked at. Love the Mts and it is in a quiet location on a hill and not in the valley. Looks to be a good find!

  • @citizensallianceofaustrali697

    Just want to add my congrats to you and Illy grabbing a piece of the west for yourselves. You seem to have found a very centrally located spot. And you can now explore all the ghost towns and very intriguing border towns of Nevada, Utah and Arizona in-depth, which will give you at least another 5 years of excellent videos to look forward to. Cerro Gordo,, Wendover and West Wendover (home to the airfield which saw the takeoff of the Enola Gay on her mission to Japan), and many many other ideal locations for your exploration. Looking forward to your future adventures!

    Your video inspires me to return once again. First visited nearly 50 years ago, last visited with my daughter in 2017 by train from Williams. Yes, we did get reservations at El Tovar and worth the effort. We got to see the Hopi girls perform and a wonderful exhibition of the hoop dance at the stage in front of the Hopi House. Got to go, one more time!

    Congratulations on selecting a place for Pelicamp West! It seemed you had your heart set on the Kingman area already, which is probably the better choice. The Show Low/Springerville area is beautiful, but as you said, the rutted roads show the dirt roads would probably be impassable in wet weather. The ruts tell the story. That's the same mudstone as what's exposed at Petrified Forest NP. Slippery when wet from Monsoon Season rains! 😉
    Looking forward to seeing your development of your new Pelicamp!
    Safe travels, my friend!

    @dramaqueen3306 Před měsícem +1

    Robert, I've watched the video of the last time you were in that area a few times. And was pretty amazed when you took the detour off of I-40 . Why was I amazed? well that's because I did the exact same thing about 15 years ago, on that exact same road, after stopping at that same place near the old KOA, and kept going down the road, just like you did. Luckily I was not pulling an RV because I don't know if I could have gotten out of there like you did. That was some clever driving on your part! So to see you do the same thing was pretty funny. When I first watched you start down that road, I was yelling out loud, "nooooo, turn around"
