They just don’t make men like your Pops any longer! What a great role model for his son😊
Yeah they do its called a man with common sense.
@@2CorgiMom 👍 agreed
That’s really kind! Thx!!
Love the road trips with Pops!
Loved this q and a. Your twins’ answers at the beginning were priceless and spot on- cherry blossoms and glaciers are my favourites too! Looking forward to seeing the South Dakota road trip.
I think that even if the pandemic didn't happen, your videos would still become popular. They're so dang good in how they awaken something nostalgic in many of us that we miss now with the onset of how technology has been able to isolate people indoors more. No offense to the videos with your wife and kids but these ones with your Dad really go straight to the heart and are the most fun!
You are really kind! Thx for watching for the encouragement!
You two are so blessed to enjoy such a wonderfully close father/son relationship. I dont think they are so common and so it's very wonderful to see! God bless you and keep you safe in your travels!
We do realize how blessed we are and don’t take it for granted. So sad some of the difficulties people will share in comments that just break your heart. But we always appreciate the reminder so thx!
This was a fun video! I appreciated hearing about your takes and memories from among the different trips you have made.
It would be great to hear some more about your planning processes. Your trips are always interesting and it goes without saying they wouldn't be so without all your pre-planning.
I love both of you! Love watching dad & son dynamic ♥️
You are sweet! Thank you.
Thank y’all for my @throughmylens Sunday fix. I’m retired Air Force, traveled a lot. But you and Pops travels are the best.
Really appreciate you watching. I bet you did travel a lot in the AF. My uncle was a Marine pilot and he had many amazing stories.
I love the twins are developing memories of the trips they have been on. . . so far! Cherry Blossoms and glaciers, spot on! Too, cute. I love this Q&A embedded in your trips!
Cool behind the scenes video. Love the quality work on this channel
❤Family.❤
Love the food arguments. 😄
That’s a good idea. Josh could glean all the food arguments from the videos and compile them!! Need to give you credit if he ever does that. We’ve had fun over those arguments!!
Route 66 was the 1st of your videos I saw.
Blue Ridge Parkway was among my favorites.
Seeing all those grizzly bears was scariest.
You go to a lot of places and I like to see where
you guys show up. Well done mates...well done 👍
Thanks so much for stopping by and watching!
Josh, I enjoy every single one of your videos !
Love you traveling with your dad. So lovely!
Thx for watching. We really do have a good time together!
Love your videos which got me interested in doing Road Trips. Luv your trips with your dad.🥰
That’s awesome! We’ve adopted the phrase (whenever it came from) that the route is the destination!! A fun way to look at travel.
I loved that give gave us a more "inside look" at your travels. My husband and I have watched every single one of your videos. We are planning a New Mexico trip for Labor Day and Utah trip for November! You and Pops have a very special Father/Son relationship, you're blessed!
Glad to learn that Pops is a prog rock lover.
My college buddy got me into those and other bands. But I still love the Beatles and anything out of Motown!
I’ve traveled for nearly 50 years taking the wife, kids (when we could) and other extended family. I never realized it was so unusual until my now 49 year old nephew introduced me to his new wife as his favorite relative. He told her that I was the only person to ever take him to the Grand Canyon (when he was 16). Now at my advanced age it is so pleasing to know that impact on children in the family. We all got great experiences seeing and doing these travels together.
0:53 Pops has the right idea😊 Seriously, nothing beats that view. I remember going there for the first time when i was 8 years old it almost felt like i was looking at one giant painting
I have been there many times and am still overwhelmed every visit. I always go back to the first time and think “this can’t be real!!”
I plan my road trips the same way you do and for my upcoming road trip in New England in October, I used a lot of info from your videos when you and Pops were there. Big thanks in advance! BTW...Custer State Park is amazing!
Thanks for making these videos. They are awesome!
I love watching you and PoPs. Great dynamic dual
Precious moments hanging with your dad is so very cool
So excited for Pops & Josh going to another Experience for them And US!! Recently returned from that area wish I had more time in the area looking forward to seeing it Through Your Lens!! Safe Travels All The Best! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.
I didn't plan on commenting, but when your pops said he's never been to Tahoe, I had to comment and cast my opinion to get him there!
Point made! I need to get there!!
Love seeing Pops on the road trips!
Thx! We appreciate you watching.
Cool Q and A on the road trip.
Love what y'all do. My wife and I watch all the videos from New Orleans. We are moving to Cali in two years and your videos help keep us sane until then. Thanks!.....do not come down here in the summer. The heat and humidity is not fun.
You two are great men, so kind.
Lots of fun, as always with you two! It was nice to get some behind-the-scenes info on your trips and your individual choices. Josh really puts in a lot of effort on the videos, Pops adds his own flavor, and the combination is perfection! Loved the twins' answers, and I'm with Pops on the Fritos...Original only!😁
I have been to 48 countries. The most beautiful place I have ever been to is: "Garden of the Sleeping Giant." A huge orchid growing area on Nada, Viti Levu in Fiji. OUTSTANDING!
We love Spain too. Just returned from a wonderful visit there.
Just came back from a trip to Big Bend National Park totally inspired by Josh and Pops. The awesome insights that you provided in your travel guide made my trip so much easier to plan, especially with travelling such long distances. I am already planning my next trip to Alaska. I'm sure I will be rewatching all your Alaska videos many times before I head off. Appreciate all the travel tips and insights.
We love your videos and your pop is awesome keep up the good work
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Haha love your snack lady comment! Yeah the crunched up Fritos with like chili in it was called hay stacks I think.
Dr. Pops and his camera man!
Hahaha! I’d embrace them at if it were true. More like Josh does everything and pops tries not to be too obnoxious!! But your comment is fun.
@@popshikingI have to disagree Pops. You are the star. Just holds that camera. But he does a great job holding it.
Let me know if you guys are coming to EDC again next year. Me and the boys are exited to meet you there!
My husband and I have been thinking of buying a small camper...but I argue...we could do road trips, save $$ on gas, stay in hotels...like you and Pops !!! I would love to see a tally of how much some of your trips actually cost to make my case !!! Thank you ! Love watching your videos - thank you for taking us along !! PS - you have such a wonderful family !!
I thought I was the only one who planned trips using spreadsheets and a custom Google Map! This was a fun video to watch so we could get an insight into how these videos get planned. And to see your interaction with Pops!
Nice to hear you are exploring South Dakota! Always looks like an amazing trip over there, can't wait to see the video. If you are still in the Black Hills and it fits into your route, check out the Bicycle Sculpture in Pringle, SD--just the sort of wacky roadside attraction you guys love to see!
I love the relationship between you and your pops. You are so blessed. The banter is so entertaining and refreshing. Will watch your videos over network reality TV anytime
Thx! We do have a good time.
Dots honey mustard pretzels are the first thing I look for when we come over from the UK! Went through a lot of bags when we just did Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Back over for the Washington State parks in August so will be looking for them again!
Great video ! And Pops please go to Tahoe (shoulder seasons) and see Tallac / Valhalla Historic site walk (millionaire mansion walk) and Ehrman mansion / Sugar Pine Point . All of these have gorgeous old homes (some with tours) with the iconic views of the lake and lots of historic interest. Then Taylor Creek Visitor center with wooden boardwalk and stream profile chamber, beaver trees gnawing, and early morning / sunset possible bear sightings. All of the above are flat, easy, and well maintained walks with history and yes , FRITOS RULE!
Please do a HWY 12 Outer Banks road trip. There is no place like it. So many cool places, history, abd good food. Wright Brothers Memorial, largest sand dune in the east at Jockeys Ridge, awesome light houses, wild life and tours. It's right up your alley
Thank you for sharing your vlogs with us ,some of us are home bound . The pandemic turned me into a very cautious person I started to freak out Thank you with lots of ❤ & 🙏s 💯
Can't wait for the South Dakota video. My wife and I just got to Kona HI today and are going to Hawaii Volcanoes tomorrow for the day. I heard the volcano isn't bubbling now but it's the best at night according to some locals
This was an absolutely delightful video!!! I loved how you asked all of the family members questions. Pops is just a great Dad, Grandpa, and traveler!! Go Illini!!! 🧡💙
Thx for watching! Yep got a new hat!!
Great video. Yes, the Q & A videos are awesome. I like to see how different people travel because I've gotten a lot of great ideas from it.
Love you guys and all your videos!!!!
Great job again as always. Yall are the best. You make these videos seem so personal and relatable to all families
Agree on the ban on 60's on Sirius. Good lord I can't do it anymore but my wife loves it.
Awesome Video. The last part is really going to help next time I plan vacations. I was shocked you only drive 9 hours at most while my driving days can be up to 16 hours.
Thank you so much. Please stay safe to you and your father. I lost my father and only two brothers to ALS. Peace.
Wow that is so hard. So sorry for those losses.
Love this video dynamic of you and Pops. It was fun to see you guys on the road answering questions. Well, you already know that I’m Pops number one fan 😂 so any videos with Pops are fun to watch. Also, it was a nice twist to hear the whole family mention their favorite spots. Thanks for sharing, Josh. 🙌🏽
You are my BFF fan! I was especially impressed with the twins answers. Even as a barely 3 year old Jack would mention how beautiful the mountains were as we drive through Alaska! Thx so much for your support!
Love this new video setup too! Looking forward to more 🙌🏽
Great video!!👍🏽🏆
Having been born and raised in NJ listen to your Pops when he says sandwiches outside of Jersey ( as well as pizza) are mediocre at best.
Thanks for the support! Sometimes you don’t know what you got till you move away and can’t get it anymore. Feel the same way about Jersey tomatoes, white corn and peaches!!
@@popshikingborn and raised just outside Trenton so tomato pies, pork roll and 24 hr diners are sorely missed. If you mention the Jersey devil people here in AZ just look at you like your from another planet
Thanks for the Q and A video Josh. My husband and I watch most of your videos, we live in Australia and love arm chair travel!
You and your Pops have a lovely dynamic that is a joy to watch.
I was wondering if your videos and photography is your full time job?
I very much enjoyed this video. Motivated me to get busy planning a road trip or two!
Park Predators Podcast is good to listen to while on a long drive.
Might be my fave episode!
Never been to Lake Tahoe? I'm revoking your California card right now Pops....deporting you back to New Jersey (hey what exit?)!! You gotta hit Lake Tahoe!!
Ok to serious stuff...I enjoy all your channels because you show me places I've been, but a new angle/look on them. You show me places I haven't been...and the video style and voice over stuff just makes it fun to watch and learn. Not gonna lie...I've been to a LOT of the places you've been to...haha. Great minds!! haha.
Keep on doing what you all do!! Thought it was funny that Pops hates heights and his wife's favorite place is the PCH....rocks and cliffs...wonder if she's been to Big Sur? HA!
Started watching your videos recently and my favorites are the ones with pops. Anytime he’s in one I’m stoked. I lost my dad 2 weeks ago and let me tell you this Q & A with your pops brought out all the feels. Also, I live on the Big Island about 30 minutes from Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. I think you’d find so many more things to do on the Big Island that would shine in your videos so please consider making a trip out one day soon!
Wow I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you have many beautiful memories to reflect on. I’m always remembering that there is a finite number of times we will be able to travel together and I want to make each time memorable. Thx for reminding me of that once again! May God comfort you and your family in your loss.
I love your videos. Being able to have adventures with your dad is pretty cool.
Haha we have a good time. Thx for stopping by!
Ivagree with pops. It was heart stopping the first time i experienced it. No video or photo can compare to experiencing it firsthand
+1 for Kansas and Merrills, Yosemite and Yellowstone. They're my favorites as well.
If you haven't yet been to the Black Hills/Devils Tower/Badlands NP area, you owe it yourself to go. The Black Hills has Mt. Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Monument (a work in progress), Wind Cave NP, Jewel Cave NM, Custer State Park, the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, Deadwood, Lead, etc. Rapid City has life-size statues of the US Presidents scattered about in a vibrant downtown and a wood stave church (Chapel in the Hills) that is an exact replica of the Borgund, Norway, stavekirke, which dates from the 12th century. But, wait, there's more....🙂
//EDIT: Then you finished up talking about South Dakota. Have a great time.//
Hi Josh! This Q&A was great and I have a question about a trip you may or may not have done! Have you been to the Avenue of the Giants? Thanks for this video! I enjoyed seeing your whole family on this one!❤️😀🇺🇸
I'm 46 years old, but Pops' and my music tastes would totally get along.
Hey thanks for this video! Your channel was an inspiration for what I’m doing, but I’m still trying to find my own style. It’s good to hear that overshooting footage is normal haha
Larry from long island Pops I can't believe you said yes and Kansas as favorite listening music.Just one question old yes or poppy yes from the 80s and later. Never your standard 4/4 time I hope anyway I love you guys keep up the extraordinary work
Probably I rank my yes album favorites…
1. Close to the edge
2. Relayer
3. Fragile
4. Tales.
I know not everyone is a fan of tales. Got Josh and his friends listening to them when they were in high school.
Just saw Jon Anderson recently in St Louis. He was good as was the backup band.
Pops is a great guy! You have a great dad 😊 That’s why you’re a good one too!
That’s really kind! Thx!
I’ve found that when we are on a road trip that we keep the mileage to about 4 hours driving time max
As we tend to send 4-6 hours sightseeing doing walks visiting museums etc
So a 4 hour drive always always ended up taking 8-10 hours
Some of the shorter days are still 6 hours
Great video (although I'm not sure Subway would agree...lmao!!! But you all are right about their "sandwiches"). Hope you do more of these, along with your "live" Q&A's too. And come to Colorado soon!!!
Hi Josh and Pops, at the risk of sounding sappy, I have to thank you both for posting these videos. The father-son ones (esp when you get out of California) are so comforting to me from the playful energy you both have, the stops you take (things like the Dr. Pepper museum, donut shops, etc.) and even the background music. I struggle with depression (so sometimes getting out is really hard outside of work), and I had a pretty traumatic Route 66 road trip experience with an abusive partner who made me feel bad for wanting to take fun sightseeing stops to take pics and explore. Your videos bring back memories of better roadtrips, and give me hope that maybe I too can one day have comforting, easy-going, playful roadtrips with a partner like y'all who are proof that not all dudes have toxic masculinity, and that some just like to have some good, old-fashioned, fun. :)
Wow that sounds really rough. Glad our trips can lighten things for you a bit. So encouraging to us for you to say that! My prayer is also that you can find a partner to share your love of travel with you!!
@@popshiking I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comment! Thank you so much for your encouragement & prayer! I will hold onto this. 🙏🏼 (BTW, I didn't know you had your own channel until now! It looks great, & I'm excited to have just subscribed. I'm a millennial but sense that all of your "Grey Hair Hiking Tips" will be more than applicable, fun, and inspiring for me too.)
I can’t tell you how much I treasure your Father-Son travel videos. I’d LOVE to hear your Pop’s feedback on Cousins Subs if you ever find yourselves in Wisconsin. They are so good!
Josh definitely overstated the whole sandwich thing. He is mostly trolling me with that! I’d love to try that place!
I agree with your dad. When you grow up on the east coast the sandwiches out west DO NOT compare. East coast grinders are the best 🎉
Excellent video, as always. The top three national parks are really hard to choose. For me: 1: Yellowstone 2: Grand Canyon 3: Bryce Canyon, but being "East Coast" people does figure into this very tough decision. There are so many great national parks and we love your videos on all of them. Thank you!
Hard to argue with that top three. First time I saw the GC was like speechless for a while!
oh - and the route 66 "blew up" not because of Covid etc. - it blew up because it was excellent !
New video from Josh and Pops, gon be a good night!!!
Thx for watching!
I agree with your dad. When I was in highschool, my daily lunch would be sloppy joe, fritos, fritos bean dip and a Pepsi. Every single day. One day at the snack bar they were out of every single item (I honestly think they did this on purpose to get me to try something new) I was so upset but so hungry, so I was forced to go into the cafeteria and lucky they had spinach and chocolate milk (also my favorite). But thankfully the next day they had all my favorite items. I never did like that Snack Bar lady.🧐
Love your videos and this special one with Q&A was most interesting. How’d your car do on the Alaskan Highway? Presume it is all paved.
Hey if you are ever in the panhandle of Florida try and go to Thomas Doughnuts in Panama City it is really really good. Great view of the beach
The Eagles are my favorite band 💗 my mom saw the Hell Freezes Over tour while she was pregnant with me lmao
I knew Pops had good taste because he’s always wearing an Illini cap!
It’s a signal to those of us in the inside crowd! Hahaha!
Wow! Didn’t realize that the pandemic made your channel blew up. Makes sense though. But I’ve been following you from well before that from a recommendation from a friend. Pops has not been to Lake Tahoe?! He totally needs to go with your mom or even the whole family. It’s very nice. My best friend lives at the foot of the kingbury grade going up to Tahoe. So much to see and do up there. I love the hot springs and pool in markleeville that’s not far from Tahoe, and frog lake for things outside of Tahoe that are my highlights. Road trips are so fun. I like being able to take my time and just stop wherever I feel like. I like to plan shorter day drives of four to six hours of driving and check out where I want to stop for gas and potty and food but keep those flexible. Smart to book motels that allow cancellation you can keep it fun and not just cranking out the miles. I google and Mapquest and yelp places along the way. And I ask people I know. I’ve found some great places that way. Found some great places to eat that way, like this obscure middle eastern hike in the wall place in grants pass. Or this great burger and shakes place in Klamath falls. Totally going back to them next time I’m going through. A friend in Ashland Oregon recommended this great sandwich shop off the beaten path so I would have never gone there if she hadn’t told me about it. And cat friendly since I travel with my cat. All outdoor dining so put her in her backpack and she was good to go
100% agree. Already trying to think of a good time to go. Thx for the encouragement!
@@popshiking my fav time to go is in the summer. But spring and fall are great also. He hike to frog lake is along the PCT and is a very scenic hike that goes to a few lakes. Not a hard hike and beautiful. The drive up there is lovely. It’s a place that PCT hikers jump off the trail to go into Tahoe. The lake is so beautiful and driver and hiker friendly. Lots of good food and historically interesting places. It’s a great end to a road trip up the 395 which is a terrific road trip.
Sixties and early seventies is the best music ever.❤
No argument here! Haha
Best traveling rule we have is not to eat at chain restaurants or fast food. Although, we do many chain coffee places.
My favorite national park is lamington national park in Queensland Australia. Pops really needs to go to Lake Tahoe it blew our aussie minds away
Tacos el Gordo?! Good choice!!!!
I agree with Pops....original Fritos for me. None of those other flavors.
Thx for the support!!
I’m with Pops and Josh. Yosemite! ❤
Josh has explored much more of the park than I have. Would love to hike some of the more remote areas.
I'm taking a roadtrip to Bayou Teche and surrounding areas of Louisiana and the Mississippi gulf at the end of September. Flying into/out of New Orleans and renting a car.
I’d never heard of that spot before your comment. Sounds like the kind of thing I’d like to see! Thx!
I’m with Pops. Best sandwiches are in the tristate area. Moved to Florida in 2018 and they have no clue what a real sandwich is.
Loved the Q&A! However most if not all of your geography/touristy "favorites" were in California or other points west. I would love to know your answers to those same questions but east of the Mississippi River only. Just curious.
I agree 100% on with Pops on the sandwhich thing. Jersey Mikes is probably the best chain sandwhich place out there. Them slicing the meat fresh really improves the quality and flavor. Subway has really gone done hill for quite some time now haha and i honestly avoid it unless i really have to eat it lol. Side note.. Tacos el Gordo is incredible. lol
I agree on every point! There is another place in California called Phillys best. When you walk in the door a big sign says Amoroso bread and they got the sliced cherry peppers with the stems. Pretty good spot. Tasty cakes too of course.
Your Pops is right, Jersey Mike's is the best.
Have you done or thought about doing Havasu Falls. Every video I watched about that camping trip from whoever films it is magical. I'd love to get your perspective of that camping trip. A bucket list tripfor me.
Edit...I just saw a climb out of Mooney falls, but no commentary. How was the rest of the trip?
If you get to Wisconsin, we have Cousin Subs. They are better than Jersey Mike's in my opinion. Safe Travels.
What small fridge do you guys use in the car? My family is looking for something small like that for an upcoming 7500 mile road trip! Thanks & Keep up the awesome videos!
Got my first Merrells in like.. maybe.. 1988.
Hello Josh, I would like to see you and Pops hike some of Americas Made Made Feet’s. Most skyscrapers allow access to the stairwells which can be more vigorous of a hike then some of uplifts in the National Parks. If you ever make your way back to San Antonio; Tower of America has a wonderful skyscraper that rewards with a fancy restaurant at the top.
Additionally, In honor of 9/11 and the firefighters whom sacrificed their lives that day the city of San Antonio puts on an event to scale the stairwell in memory of those lost souls. I think that would be an interesting video and experience for you and Pops.
