Traveling Robert, one of the best Travel Vlog channels on CZcams...
14theroad1955 I totally agree!!
The best!
Roberts videos are more important now than ever showing us the world of normal which will be again thank you Robert
Yes, you're right. We just can't lose Robert too!
SAME !!!
Absofreakinglutely! I have been to many of these place and so good to see them again.
You have the best shows in the world! Love Siddhant
Our family has started watching your episodes every night. Love the show.
Born and raised in oregon and Washington. Camped here my entire life.
Went to grade school in Portland, Also have great memories of camping on Mount Hood and the surroundings
Pnw
Here’s something started doing not long ago, we’ve seen all Roberts videos 10 times over by now so we told alexa to play Robert Morales and we listen to all his hits while watching his videos on the big screen talking, drinking, laughing, dancing whilst enjoying his most beautiful music. You must try it has become a Sunday routine around here. Thank you Robert from the bottom of our hearts and please don’t ever change your music it never gets old.
New sub this year. Never thought I'd want to be a RVer until I started watching you. Now, this is a goal to do just that. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your travels and adventures.
Beautiful and interesting video. I remember the explosion of Saint Helens (1980). Very nice landscapes with many volcanoes. Congrats. Go ahead. Love , MOM 🌄🎼💥❤️🌎💯
This video is EXACTLY what I needed on such a gloomy morning like today as I work online
Nice to be reminded that there is still a life outside of my yard. lol
My husband and I have binged watched you for the last month lol and have been anxiously waiting for your trip back from the west ❤️ My husband is from Miami and I’m from Jacksonville but we have retired to Colorado and we have LOVED all your western experiences. We have been considering getting an RV 😂😱🙏 because of your video’s. You do an outstanding job and we can’t wait for more. ❤️😍👍
I busted out laughing when after endless barren brown hills, you said "There are no more trees" and then a whole forest popped up and you said, "I don't understand."
I visited Mt Saint Helen's 5 years after the eruption. It was very barren, trees blasted to the ground, complete devastation, and no visitor centers. Interesting to see how they have developed the area. I still have some pumice I took from the side of the road. Love your drone footage from the monument.
Weyerhaeuser (one of the biggest timber industry companies in the Pacific Northwest) has replanted over 18 million seedling trees by hand since the blast, which started within months of the eruption. They actually harvested their first trees again from the area in 2005, amazing how fast they grow with all the rainfall and fertile soil.
I’m a truck driver I love watching and listening while I’m heading back home your music is so relaxing .
Isn't America a beautiful country. I used to live on the bottom of Beacon Rock. I used to climb it every day...wait for my dad to come down the highway and run to the bottom to meet him. The Park Ranger was a family friend. I used to enjoy watching him tie fly's. Fascinated me for some reason. I can remember him taking me on evening rounds. His daughter taught me to ride horses. Took me riding all the time. The park, the rock, and the horse trails were our playground. Those were happy days.
Robert, even with the current chaos and anxiety, your incredible videos continue to lighten our burdens, and take us away to wonderful place, as they always have !!!! God Bless You as we pray for an end to this nightmare !! Tonight, you took me to a peaceful scenic journey that we all love and appreciate, just the way you always do it !
How cool is that to have your music playing in a restaurant in washington state?
Thanks again, Robert. These are particularly welcome right now.
I was a teenager when Mt. St. Helens blew, lived in Longview and actually on the Columbia river, we saw it blow from our kitchen when on Sunday morning eating breakfast with my parents, drove down to the Cowlitz river to watch all the logs coming down to the Columbia from the mountain. Long time ago now, I know my children will be old men by the time it looks like it did prior to the eruption, it really was pristine beauty back then. Love your videos and we are dreaming of our next adventure in our RV as soon as this pandemic is over. Thanks for the distraction.
Goooood morning Robert! Thank you for the new video. We hope you, your family, and all the Pelicanheads are doing well. Have a great day, and remember, we keep you and your family in our prayers. Fly pelican, fly! 🌴😎👍
I love the social commentary, "Very dirty. You can tell people have been partying here at night." Your videos never cease to entertain. Keep up the GREAT work; and be safe out there!
To those of us who lived thru this, from Seattle to Portland, this still takes our breath away! I had a friend camping on it that night. Their dog cried all night. The State patrol basically hauled them out and into their own car and chased them all the way down the mountain. They survived but it took over a week for her to stop shaking!
I absolutely love this resource! My family & I lived in Vancouver when the mountain blew up, Its incredible that the mountain & the damaged areas have recovered so much since its only been 43 years since it happend.
Great way to start our Sunday morning, a cup of coffee and a Robert video. Thank you! Al & Kathleen Fort Worth TX
Such a beautiful part of the country, my Grandma lived on the coast just south west of Seattle. She took me to Mt Saint Helens when I was a kid in the early 90s, I came back in the mid 2000s and we actually just missed being there at the same time as you last summer. The wife and I took the kids last August to see the volcano for the first time, it has been amazing to so see nature reclaim the disaster area over the last 40 years and I'm so thankful my Grandma started this experience for me and that's why I want my kids to see this area a few times in their lives.
Stay safe Robert and keep up the great content!
I wa there when mt St. Helens blew. Our family used to camp there on spirit lake when I was a kid. We even climbed up it when I was 8 yrs old. We could see it’s perfect ice cream cone peak from our home in a clear day because we didn’t live that far from the mountain. It’s so different to go up there now. I think mount rainier is more spectacular now but mt St. Helens will always be my mountain. I was only a couple miles away from it when it blew. Fortunately I was on the south west side. It blew north east. I was 16 at the time. It’s still very beautiful, especially when it’s covered in snow. The original glaciers are gone that kept it snow covered all year. But it’s still an awesome mountain. One of my last memories of my dad before he died was me taking him to the Johnston ridge center because he hadn’t been there since it was built. It was raining like crazy and the mountain was shrouded in clouds. We watched the film. No one else was there except the rangers who weren’t alive when it blew. He was telling them about all our camping trips up there in the 60s and 70s when the clouds parted and showed the mountain blanketed with its first snow of the year. It was amazing. My dad was in his element and everyone gasped to see the mountain in its beauty
I love the Old Steam engine trains but I love old machinery of all kinds because PEOPLE HANDS MADE THEM, ASSEMBLED THEM etc.. that is something that we will never have again in history ❤ preservation of these artifacts is important.
It means a lot to have someone as well-traveled as you rave about the drive through the Gorge. I lived in Portland for 25 years and that drive was always one of my very favorites.
I live live in Vancouver WA and had a live view of the St Helens eruption. Prior thereto, I used to hike St. Helens and have had little interest in revisiting its destruction. This motivates me to take a drive. Most of Mt Reaner NP is closed for repairs at this time, so no loss skipping there. A miracle is documenting in this video: He found a parking spot at Multnomah Falls after 8:00 am in the morning. I would be terrified to drive some of those off-freeway local roads hauling an RV. Great display of eastern Washington.
Thanks!
Almost forgot to mention, Robert, we loved the live entertainment last night. Thank you !!!! A&K
What? I cannot believe I missed it!
Jay Tomson I addition to traveling Robert subscribe to Robert Morales, that would be the music of Robert, Great music
I look forward to Sunday mornings. No matter how long the video is, it is too short. I love the keys.
The Missoula floods played a big role in the terrain of the gorge. It is really striking in the eastern part, and in Washington's scab lands.!
Olympia. You drove past my old house (hidden by trees) and my job was near the capitol. My husband and I bought our first home there. (We are in Minnesota now, but go back yearly). Lovely state. I also lived in Portland, Oregon. The Columbia River Gorge and Multnomah Falls are beautiful. Thanks for the memories, I enjoy your videos!
Hi Robert,
I grew up in Vancouver Washington and witnessed the Mount ST Helens eruption on that day Sunday morning May 18th 1980.
Thanks for sharing your travels, really appreciate the work you do!
John
LOL I actually shivered when you crossed the Nisqually River... When I was in ROTC Advanced Camp in 1989 at Ft Lewis we had to swim across the Nisqually in an infantry river crossing exercise..JEEBUS that was the coldest water I've ever swam in EVER. Fed by glaciers on Mt Rainier. But the scenery out there...stunningly beautiful.
THANKS ROBERT...WATCHING FROM THE PHILIPPINES....THAT'S INCREDIBLE...!!!
My father was a railroad worker. Many would come and take photos of the train station. And I loved how the restaurant played your song...now thats Love! Happy and Safe Travels!
I grew up on a farm in eastern WA, then lived in Tacoma, WA for thirty yrs. Now I have lived in AZ for 15 yrs, so this was such a great video for me...old stomping grounds!
We lived in Vancouver, WA when St. Helen's blew. We have visited the area many times since then. We have been on the east side-Windy Ridge-long way back, but love the view of the mountain. While living in Vancouver, we made many day trips down the gorge with our children and even now, get down there a few times a year. We live about an hour from Seattle and love the west side of the mountains, but love to get to the east side when we can. Oregon has the same type of geology/topography as Washington...green on the west and much more brown on the east side with a beautiful all its own.
This video captures what I most love about travelling - the contrasting landscapes. Another great video!
Thank you so much for this video! Fantastic documentary and scenery.
We need that during this bad time we have.
I live in White Salmon, WA. My family lives here and in Hood River, OR.
So great to see you enjoyed the pacific northwest so much. Thank you for sharing this slice of America with the entire world.
Safe travels..
That Capitol building area really impressive, one of the best in the country
Great video of the Columbia River valley, Mt. St. Helen's and Hood. Continue to have fun and stay safe.
As if my wanderlust is not bad already, watching this video just makes me yearn for the days of hauling my trailer all over. But at least these wonderful videos are here from better days in the past. Sure grateful for your videos, Robert!!
Thank you Robert for making such quality videos along your travels. In this time of can't travel I found your channel and became a binge watcher, subscriber, and fan of your work. Great job and stay well in these trying times.
Thanks again Robert for another great installment of #Summer2019! Some beautiful scenery in this episode as well as some good looking pizza! I have a feeling this ride to the East is going to be fun!
Thank you Robert, you’re giving me a release of my frustrations by your travel. My plans to have followed in your footsteps have been placed on hold and your videos have been a blessing Thank you
Wow! I live in Seattle and love driving through Washington like this, so happy you recorded all this.
I can’t stop watching your shows mate from Australia great vids best on CZcams legend we need to hear it all the time
I grew up in Hood River, Oregon and am glad to call it home to this day. Glad you enjoyed your time here.
The middle portion of Washington is called the Channeled Scablands as it has a lot of coulees and channels. It was formed by the Missoula floods in the last ice age. The northern portion was also formed by the Canadian glacier and the dryness of this region can be attributed to the Cascade rainshadow. Whenever I drive through this area, I look at all the interesting geological features and images what those massive, repetitive floods were like back then. It is fascinating.
That was a good one. The best drive video I’ve seen on CZcams. Scenery was amazing. Thank you Robert, we really needed that to today. 👏🏻👍
Thanks for taking us on this amazing adventure! Great video!
I've been binge watching your videos here at work. Now I want to travel. You're an inspiration Robert! Really like your videos!
Nice to see so many trains!!
Fantastic video.We were here in 2013 coming from Pa on a cross country trip heading to Banff NP. Like you said Mt St Helen's incredible along with Mt Hood and the Columbia Gorge River drive. We loved Multnomah Falls, too bad you seen it from parking lot ,we walked up on the very scenic arch bridge high above the parking lot for a closer view of the Falls..Photos we took of the arch bridge and falls in background from below, SPECTACULAR.Never enough time here.Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Calming, relaxing and informative...as always. Pleasant way to start the day, pleasant way to end it.
What a great feel of normalcy. Thanks Robert for putting these out every Sunday. I use to watch them with my husband and now he is at treatment in Bakersfield and we can still both watch them even if it’s separate. We luv your channel in Oxnard!
Another awesome video, Robert. Cool to see what Mount St. Helen looks like so many years after the eruption.
Another awesome Traveling Robert video. Thanks a lot for all your efforts put in. I really enjoy traveling with you. Reason # 1: I can see so much of your country. Reason # 2: I do not have to drive myself. Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.
Visited there in 2013 on our Coast to Coast trip from Pa on our way to Banff National Park.
Mt St Helens out in the middle of no where, but such a beautiful drive and site to see.
Another great video of my local countryside. Thank you Robert.
Thanks Robert. Great video. Be nice for you to get to spend the summer on the west coast. Showing us even more. Thanks much for making the videos.
Awesome blog. Many thanks to you Robert. Always feel like being there enjoying the trip alongside you. Excellent job.
Robert, you're an amazing videographer!
Beautifully waterfalls!
We were living about 70 miles north of Mt St Helen's when she erupted. It scared the kids and the blast was so loud we thought there had been an explosion at the mill in town.
Beautiful and epic views in this episode, just like the song America the beautiful. I remember when Mt St Helans erupted, my second yr high school. Great video! 🤗
Hello Robert, although I have seen this video before it doesn't get old to watch it again. Thank you once more.
Excellent Primo!! Love the Columbia River Gorge area. Can't wait to visit again hopefully someday soon.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and truly enjoy them I was excited to watch your Mount St. Helens video today because when you got to Castle Rock you drove right by our driveway and yesterday I watched when you went to Quartzsite and that’s where my grandma lived for a while so fun. Thanks for sharing your videos.
really enjoyed your video. lived most of my life in the northwest under the shadow of mt. st. helens but really enjoyed your take on it. I even watched it blowing up first hand in 1980. toured the replica stone hinge back in 1967 they've really cleaned it up since then. can only get around now viewing videos like yours. thanks for posting.
The blast from Mt Saint Helens was so powerful that we had ash in the sky all the way in Michigan
Beautiful blend of scene and music..mesmerising video......changed the mood in this lockdown...
Thank you for the videos Robert, in such adversity as the ones the are facing your videos are a scape , a true blessing. Thank you again.
True professionalism; another superb video. Thanks for sharing!
This is making me want to plan a trip...
Shortly after this was filmed, things changed drastically. Thanks for posting these, Robert. Hope we go back to normal again.
Your video makes us want to go camping there. Maybe we will add that to our itinerary this year. Thanks for the great video.
Robert LOVE your videos especially the ones out west , i love the west. That song is amazing going to the west. Makes me smile keep em coming. The way you narrate and see places is verrrry good
you are a great inspiration for a day dreamer like us.....we got stranded in south east ASIA for two months,thank GOD we managed to return home in BOSTON.Now we are planning to travel to west coast by road in fall.Thanks Robert for all the information.....ride safe.
Hey Robert thanks for doing this blog I never been to this part of the country its Really Beautiful
The music and view is awesome
Thank you so much Robert ! I am feeling That I am there at the parks I wish I know about your channel before !!
I grew up in Longview and watched the eruption. Enjoyed your video
Just found your videos through other travelling CZcamsrs. I really enjoy your narration, songs, and your explorations. You are really becoming my favorite.
Yah, yes what a review of my trip to Washington and Oragon . That gorge drive was my favorite. Oh great concert Saturday night. 🎤
Mount St. Helens was also one of my stops last summer. I made the mistake when googling to pick the Mount St. Helens Institute. Which was only 100 miles from the Johnston Ridge Observatory. When I got to the observatory it was cloudy and I wasn't able to see the crater. So I stayed the night at a campground and was able to see the full mountain when the clouds cleared the next day. I was amazed at the devastation and also the lack of new growth in the area after 40 years. Not to mention the dome in the crater has grown to 67% of it's original size before the blast according to the Ranger. Thanks for posting.
ROBERT..I LOVED THAT FOOTAGE HOPE TO RETRACE IT SOMEDAY..LOVELY!!! THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT ADVENTURE.
What beautiful scenery! Amazing footage from the GoPro on the top of your Mini Tinnie too! Definitely enjoying the 4k video!
Love all your videos, thank you. Have a great weekend.
What an amazing trip. Love how you put your videos together. Beautiful country you explored. Thank you for sharing!
I recently discovered Traveling Robert and his fabulous videos and music. Like him putting a sticker
on each state he visits, I am going to post this comment on all the videos I watch! You da man, Robert!!
Very Scenic. It may take centuries for the area around Mount St. Helens to be restored since nature's timetable is a lot longer than ours.
This was beautiful & the pizza looked delicious! Thank you Robert!
this is becoming virtual camping. Great video as always. I am actually in my camper watching your video, while taking cabinet doors off, face lift time while we have the time. Stay safe.
You have the best narrators voice ! Excellent and entertaining. Makes your show with the great music like a travel documentary. Love it.
Thank you for showing Mt St Helen’s. Have a piece of jewelry made from the fused dust of the volcano. Helenite. Wonder job as usual. ❤
I remember the Eruption. We went out to a wedding after it happened. The ash was pushed off to the side of the road as high as giant snow piles. Love your videos.. places I’ve been and places I want to visit!!
