    Been watching your Arkansas tour and enjoyed it since I used to travel the entire state for work many years ago. There is so much to see and you explored most of it...missed a few things in Eureka Springs...but that can be another trip. Now watching the trip from Wickliffe, KY, since I am very familiar with that area also. My hometown is Blytheville, Ar. the NE corner of Arkansas on the Mississippi River, where we would have to ride a ferry to cross the Mississippi River, going to Kentucky or Tennessee, many years ago before a bridge was built near Caruthersville, Missouri, to cross the river. Thanks for the journey, it brings back lots of memories! I have watched several thus far....Louisiana, Iowa, Missouri...

    Really enjoy your videos. I am surprise you had not heard about the great earthquake before. Having lived in this area and fished in reelfoot lake that was formed from this earthquake we know about all of the history. There are some great books on this and some on line reads. It was very well documented in all the nations newspapers during that era. the noises that came during the quake the cracking and groaning that a lot the news paper articles wrote about always got me!! I watch tress in my yard sway from right to left during a 5.0 aftershock in late 1969 . Never will forget that day!! Looking forward to seeing a road trip on the river road!
    Thanks for what you do

    Hey Russ, wanted to give you just a bit more history on the New Madrid earthquake. The Mississippi River flowed backward during that time. An underground river in a cave in Cave City, AR (14 miles north of my hometown, Batesville, AR) rose with muddy water. The quake was felt in Washington, DC. Crowley's Ridge in eastern AR was formed from this earthquake. If you had traveled across the Mississippi River from New Madrid into TN you would have seen Reel Foot Lake which was formed as the result of the quake. There is a seismograph in a museum there that is constantly recording quakes in the area, most of which are 2.0 are less range. Thanks for the road trip.

    I remember the back roads you're filming. Lived in KCMO for 11 years. In 2018 I made the call to go home to Alaska.
    Alaska changed in population. However, it didn't change in simplicity and appreciation for the all outdoors activities.

  • @tedwienstroer9807
    @tedwienstroer9807 Před 4 měsíci

    I just discovered your channel this morning. We usually travel across the Mississippi and Ohio rivers at this location. I believe that is the shortest road through 3 states, one mile from the state line over the Miss to the state line over the Ohio. We were there last September and crossed the Mississippi bridge the last day it was open. You mentioned how rough it was, it was really bad when we crossed. We love Lamberts too. We have stayed in the parking lot before they added the RV park. If you're ever back to the Wycliff area, there is a great State Park south of there, Columbus Bellmont SP, Civil War battle field above the Mississippi.

    My Third Great Grandfather was a youth in Missouri during this earthquake. What a horror to be around that! His family was unharmed but I am certain all was a wild time. They were flour millers and also farmed a bit of newly settled land. My husband and I used to live in the Southeast so we have traveled in an RV in that area near the Mississippi in Kentucky, Missouri and in Tennessee.

  • @jimp.7286
    @jimp.7286 Před 4 měsíci

    All that rain is needed to keep the river flowing and all those trees green. Cairo is mentioned as the most desolate city/town in America having lost so many residents. Kind of sad but I've read southern illinois folks have little in common with the north. My great grandpa was a farmer where you show the rivers coming together. I've never been there so your video is awesome for me. Cheers. 👍

    You mention in your videos that you have a pass that gets you in parks. What pass is it? Is it good for all states?

    • @jimp.7286
      @jimp.7286 Před 4 měsíci

      I have the pass. It's called "America The Beautiful". If you go to a national park, they'll sell you one at the counter and give you the card and dashboard placard right there. If you're over a certain age - it's a one-time fee, (think it's 70 or bucks? ),. Good across the nation and worth every penny. May not work in certain places though.

    The Ozarks, also known as the Ozark Mountains, Ozark Highlands or Ozark Plateau, is a physiographic region in the U.S. states of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and the extreme southeastern corner of Kansas. The Ozarks cover a significant portion of northern Arkansas and "most of the southern half of Missouri****,"extending from Interstate 40 in central Arkansas to Interstate 70 in central Missouri.

    Hey Russ, nice to ride shotgun again with you. All the rain in the beginning of the episode brings back memories of driving through some epic thunderstorms in that area where I could barely see the road in front of me. At 16:00 you're passing the turnoff for Fort Defiance St Park which I think has a much better up-close-and-personal vantage point of the meeting of the rivers. (You can see the park in your drone shot overlooking the confluence)
    As far as getting around with an atlas--it wasn't all that bad in the pre-smartphone days. I'm sure many of us used AAA maps, guidebooks and even TripTiks to plan our trips and got along just fine. See ya' next time, happy trails!

    • @georgeharms2196
      @georgeharms2196 Před 4 měsíci +1

      way late on the comment, but as @yawndave, states you just missed the confluence point at Fort Defiance State Park. Right at the point the Ohio joins the Mississippi. And I've seen others comment on the local pronunciation of New Madrid, so I'll share how I recall the local pronunciation of Cairo.. It's "KAY RO", not the same as the capital of Egypt :)
