Hello
and thank you for the videos of your travels I am disabled I can not move from home thanks to you I travel with you thank you with all my heart cordially. Alain from the 18th Paris France
@hanz patinski What garbage. I bet you are all about tolerance right?
Thanks! I live in Asheville and this is by far the most comprehensive video I've seen, you captured the size and feel of this town perfectly. I must add, it's a little different when you're living here though.
I'm going next weekend and can't wait. I love watching his videos
#211 Good morning, Robert. Your travels bring warmth and happiness to those that are bound by disabilities, and I Thank You for a Job, Well Done!
Asheville's great! I went down there this summer and visited Mount Mitchell, the tallest mountain in the Eastern US
Maybe I'll have to visit that next. I am going near the area soon
Thank you ! That was a nice trip as always ! From a apartment bound wheelchair in Copenhagen in Denmark !
My pleasure, thank you so much
Hi Robert, I enjoy very much traveling with you. Thank you!
You're welcome. Glad you like it
Such a wonderful video...Ashville is a majestic place to live Thanks Dear Robert for showing us Ashville...you are really a great person love you from Pakistan. 😍😍
Wonderfully produced! Enjoyed the music 😀
Thank you so much!
I forgot to mention,...my godmother was married to a dynamite expert who helped build much of the Blue Ridge Parkway back in the 1930's. His name was Mr. Anz. He died many years before I ever met Mrs Anz, they are buried in Riverside Cemetery, not far from Thomas Wolf. One of the few Italian ladies that my mother met when she first came to this country from Italy. My father was in the US Navy and married her over there and brought her here with my brother who was one year old at the time.
Happy travels!
Great video and nice memories of my 1981 visit to the Biltmore Estate + Blueridge Parkway ... during an almost five-week-long motorhome trip. The Châteaux de la Loire must have impressed the architecture a lot. I have visited them dozens of times and still like them.
Thanks we are excited to visit Asheville
Nice city
Hey there!!! My husband and I been binge watching your videos and loving it all! 😆...
Thank you!
@@TravelingRobert Nice work Robert.Very informative.Thnx for all the efforts you 've done for us.
I feel myself like travelling with you and be the main driver deciding at any piont of time where and when I do stop camp or filming.Robert,believve me You do this work with great professionnalism.
Keep it so my dear.
I'm your fan from a very very far Country.
Another Great Video !!!!! Thanks Robert ! Really enjoy your videos - all of them !!
Thank you!
Nice video of the Biltmore estate and of Asheville. The monuments and buildings are beautiful! It reminds me of Eastern Europe.
Yes, Asheville is a very interesting city
Love your videos but most of all your relaxed attitude during the trips. Great music and photography, always fun! Thank you!
loved the musicians, great.
Me too. Love live music like that
Thank you Robert, You Obliged so promptly....Awesome to have the tour via you. Many thanks.
You're very welcome.
Thank you very much for your video I miss Ashville
I love the music! Asheville looks great, gotta go sometime. Thanks Robert!
Absolutely beautiful Asheville.
I wish to be back!
Hi Robert,thanks for sharing yet another splendid video which I thoroughly enjoyed watching here, as always.Great show,pal!.Greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium
Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked this one too. I sure enjoyed making it
Enjoyed this so much cant wait to view the others ..and upbeat music too thank you Lynn London UK
another beautiful video. First time I've seen the inside of the Biltmore. Glad you took your phone, Robert.
I just got back from a trip to Asheville and I really enjoyed your video, which brought back memories!
I lived in NC for 22 yrs..great state, great people 😏 ps, loved the musicians!
Yes, I like NC, although I've only seen a glimpse of the state. I do love the music
Traveling Robert if you ever get the chance, check out coastal NC, the Outer Banks are worth the trip
I've lived in NC for 63 years and run from that kind of "music"... I fear people will tag the state as hick over the "music". I think we have much better food and vistas to share. If you enjoy the music please take it with you.
Harcourt Mudd so would you say it’s not like that? Do they play other music? This actually turned me off sorry to say but it makes me anxious to hear that kind of music.

One man's opinion. . . I appreciate it... as I do those who make and play that kind of music... God bless all y'all...

Until that time. . .
Great video Robert - loved the editing. You really captured the charm and beauty of this area. I just left Asheville and had a wonderful time there. My trip was more to visit my family which live in Asheville. Thanks for taking us along on a great trip!
Thank you. Glad you liked it. We really liked Asheville
Five stars video and great narration! Thank you Robert for sharing!
Wowo another wonderful adventure from you my Thanks for sharing have a safe trip and hello to your wonderful family
Thank you, same to you Montañez.
Our favorite field trips were to the Biltmore House. Prices were cheaper back then. Never get tired of it, and it is always changing.
Hi, Robert 👍🏼 I enjoyed watching your video of touring Asheville NC and the beautiful scenery of downtown and the surrounding areas. Thanks for sharing !!! Danny
So awesome thanks. That band was so good! Asheville seems like a fabulous place to visit. Happy travels 😎
Thank you. We really liked it there
Thank you for the video of my hometown. Yes, the Vance monument is no more. No biggie to me though, I never go downtown much anymore. I too am disabled and love to watch your travels by video. God bless.
Best voice I've ever heard in my life.
Robert, I enjoyed your video, commentary and the Robert Morales music. Your laid back commentary and the music made the tour exceptional. We will be there at the end of March, thanks for the armchair tour.
The clawhammer banjo at 12:10 was great, and the trumpets during the bedroom visit was fantastic! Thank you for another nice video.
Thank you. I also love that banjo
I loved this little adventure,Safe travels family👍🏻😊👏🏼See you on the next one❣️
Thank you
Love each and everyone of your episodes, watch you almost everyday, always a great adventure, keep it coming plz lol
Have never been to the Biltmore. What an exquisite place. Thank you for the tour. ❤
What a beautiful city!
Very enjoyable video, love your vocal description and the music.
Very good video....Thank you for filming the inside of the Biltmore house as I am unable to do all that walking. I enjoyed seeing Asheville also....didn't realize it was so big.
Thank you, I am glad you liked it
I would love to do all this RV traveling. Are you independently wealthy or is the traveling a part of your work?
And Billy Scribble, Great, I love it.
Thank you I love watching your videos be safe out there
That was really cool - I enjoyed watching this excellent video (with musical accompaniment) production. At first I didn't know if it would be worth 30+ minutes....but after getting sucked in and watching for about 10 minutes, the answer was clear! Thank you for posting....keep at it...I'm anticipating more!!!
Thank you so much. Glad you liked it
Professional! Nice life you have...
Another great video, Robert. Thank you!
Some time soon you're going to have to do a video on your actual videography. What you look for, how you record, which settings, how you edit your footage, colour correct, etc. I think your fans might be interested in it (at least I would be).
Thanks again.
Yes, I have been thinking about doing something like that soon. Thank you!
Thank you, loved it!
Glad you liked it :-)
Outstanding video. I am in love with the city.
Thank you. Great city for sure
Make sure you visit the Grove Park Inn in Asheville on your next trip to Asheville,...and be sure to eat at Tupelo Honey Cafe. There are are two of them. I recommend the one on College St.
Thank you. Adding it to my list.
FIRST video iv seen of yours & compared to all others ,,yours is TOP 3 of all on youtube,,& will watch all your videos,cool & thx!!
Very good video of Asheville and the large house.
Asheville, Bonito Lugar no lo habia visto gracias Robert keep doing.
Me alegro que le haya gustado
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. We hope to visit there next spring.
Thank you.
Nice trip ~ thank you!
We do stand for hours we walk around downtown and sit and people watch just to see what we see walk by. It's fun
We actually got engaged at that koa! And still store one of our campers there, since we visit so often. Very familiar with highway 9
ROBERT, AT APPROXIMATELY 19:55, IM ALMOST CERTAIN SIR, YOU CAUGHT A SPIRIT GOING ACROSS YOUR SCREEN, FROM RIGHT TO LEFT!!!👻 CONGRATULATIONS MY FRIEND!🙋♀️
"wine library, I wonder if that's where Gary got the idea" .. Once more my CZcams worlds collide and I love it.
Loved your Biltmore video. I remember back when you would get put off the estate for taking pictures in Biltmore, glad to see they've changed their policy. My favorite restaurant on the estate is the Stable Cafe, delicious food.
Well, they still frown upon video, but I just took some pictures with my phone
This place is Amazing ! You are doing a gear job on your videos 😮❤
Great vid. , really excellent, and thank you for showing so much on the Biltmore Estate.
This is my first video of yours ..I've never seen this channel before but I think I'll subscribe .

Grove Park Inn is another great place to go. near Biltmore.
Robert your real close to my stomping grounds. In Chimney Rock relax on the deck of The La Sarda and have some pizza. Its not NY pizza but its good. Relaxing view of the lake from deck.
Although I am already back form Chimney Rock, I'll make a note to go there next time. There were many things left to see.
Very interesting video.
Thank you

Yes, that was great
I'm not getting your notifications when you post videos. I found this video after watching another "subscribed" video. I like your new music sound. Very nice. Ted
Hmmm, CZcams works in mysterious way sometimes. Make sure you are still subscribed
Good job
I was born in Asheville and have lived here my whole life of 34 years. I never knew that about the Vance memorial. With everything going on right now it might just get pulled down.
Hi, I was born in Asheville 60yrs ago. My father would take me for walks downtown as we waited for my mother to get off work. The building is now an antique store, but she worked as a seamstress near the center of town. In 1965, they were just roping off the entrance to the downstairs area under the Vance monument. There were restrooms under there, but they remodeled the whole area back then, and it was remodeled again in the 90's, which I think was when they finally built new restrooms.
I remember looking down those stairs that used to lead under the monument and there were 2 different kinds of water fountains at the bottom of the stairs, that day my father walked me over there.
One was a great big porcelain basin that said COLORED on a sign above it, and the other was a tall aluminum looking thing that said WHITE above it. The next year, all of that was closed off and no more restrooms in the area until recently. Now I believe they have even fenced off the monument and removed the plaque that said "Vance"...I believe they will remove the obelisk too. I have not been uptown in a long time. Just what I see on the news now and then,....and I don't watch the news that often.
Glad it's all going cause it was quite startling to see what I saw even as a child. Stayed in my memory.
14:20 those would be geese... Walks like a goose, talks like a goose, honks like a goose... it is a DUCK?!
I live in N.E. indiana and im so accustomed to trains they lull me to sleep.
Good one Robert
Thanks! I enjoyed Asheville a lot
