    I feel like I can say this now,,,I started watching your "Driving to the west" series prior to this one, a few years ago as I was in my first stage of recovery from Alcohol and drugs. Those videos gave me a huge sense of relief and peace. Today I am much better and I go on plenty of road trip adventures of my own, which is something that I never even considered in my sick days. I'm on an adventure right now as I type this of Texas hill country. Thanks for the peace and relief that your content provides.

    I am an American who lived in France as a student in 1992 with no major issues despite their reputation for rudeness. I guess it all depends on what neighborhoods you go to and who you interact with. I happen to be 25% of French descent and speak the language fluently, which really makes a difference. i have also taken classes in Spain and attended a World Youth Day in Italy with no problems. I am half Italian and speak Spanish fluently, too, which has also been helpful.
    Of the states I've been to in the U.S., I have found people in New England, Florida, and Southern California to be more courteous and laid back than in my home state of NJ and neighboring NY. New Englanders seem to enjoy more wholesome ways of living (less congestion, better air quality, better care of the environment). Florida and Southern California have the advantage of warmer climates and a slower pace.

    “Driving to the West” are my favorite episodes!! So much so, than the one from a few years ago inspired me to do a cross country round trip in 2021! 😄
    And I can feel the disappointment in your voice at the end of this one. I had an ankle injury 4 months ago but the good news is that it heals! And nothing will stop us from hitting the road again 👍

    Robert. My wife and I want to thank you. We’ve enjoyed your brilliantly immersive videos for years now. This one struct me. You drove by my office in the first seconds of your traveling into Atlanta segment. I’ve worked in the Richard Russell Federal Building for 13 years. We live in Canton which is 38 miles North of downtown and have never tried camping at Stone Mountain due to the terrible Friday evening traffic. It’s so close but so difficult to get to. Thanks for this video. We need to give it a go traffic be damned.

  • @jr1885

    For those who a traveling to Atlanta, I definitely wouldn’t recommend Downtown. As you saw in the video, no one is there. All of us locals are in Midtown and Buckhead. In these areas you’ll find the best restaurants and shopping. Safe travels!

    Robert, it has been a pleasure to see this video even if it is almost 4 hours long and we have seen it in portions but very sad to see your injury. I hope you are better now since you are a strong champion doing those hikes that I would not even dare do in my health state. I know it was over one year ago but hopefully no long-term aches and pains from this injury. Let us know if you have a meet and greet in the Miami or Broward county area since we are from Broward. Love your content and wish you both the best.

    Robert, I love your videos. My parents had an RV and would travel to Florida every winter from Illinois to stay with my husband and me for the holidays, then on to Key West during the month of January. Your videos bring back such happy memories. 🥰🚐 Most recently, I’ve enjoyed the long videos while packing for a move to another part of Florida. Your music and your voice kept me calm and thinking positive thoughts during the monumental task of making the move happen. Thanks for that! I hope your leg has healed by now. I must have been getting tape in another room when you said how it happened… just wondering what happened to cause the injury?
    Congratulations to Illy for driving all the way home! 👏🏻👏🏻 She’s a hero and an inspiration!

    I just retired and am afraid to travel so I'm getting up the nerve by watching travel videos and yours are stellar! I was thinking about how much I liked the music playing in the background (as I often find the music intrusive and mute it) and then I saw that you create all your own music, too! I really enjoy your narration style, too.

    I always used to wet classify in order to solve the issue you mentioned early on in the video. I think this would eliminate the possible problem of disturbing the flow while picking out larger pebbles/rocks. Basically keep your 5 gallon bucket full with water when classifying therefore stripping any gold from those rocks. Agitation with your hands while shaking helps ensure success during classification.
