      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.

    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.

  • @ELFF73
    @ELFF73 Před 3 lety +4

    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!!

  • @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.

    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!

    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!! :)

    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.

    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

    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.

  • @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!

    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 😊

    @alrichardson7027 Před 3 lety

    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😊😊👍👍.

  • @lbangotti
    @lbangotti Před 3 lety +1

    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. :)

    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

    @RichardinNC1 Před 3 lety +1

    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.

    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.

  • @annettef6481
    @annettef6481 Před 3 lety

    Robert they have Bridge Day on The New River Gorge every year in October. They shut down one side and you get to walk across the bridge. It's a big event. They're are Base jumpers that come and parachute off the bridge. I'm in the picture in the crowd of it being built of one of the first people that walked across it when it was finished bring built.

    • @TravelingRobert

    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!

  • @blacknwild9246
    @blacknwild9246 Před 3 lety

    Been a looong time fan of this channel....and I've seen the Charleston (WV) Capitol from passing by so many times, but like Robert, when I was able to stop, they had it covered for renovations lol. Win some, lose some....but I, too, will be back!

    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.

    @garyheaton3302 Před 3 lety

    You should get a hiking pole or two with the ability to put a camera on top. The top handle screws off and you have a camera monopod. Put a small ballhead there and you have a selfie stick. And of course you will add some stability when crossing creeks and streams.
