thank you robert doing what i could not.iam 79 and wife is 75 and we have been togeter for 57years. agin thank you.

real ambassador of the great country

Nice new rig Robert. I hope the larger tow platform and more power makes for more pleasurable trips at a minimal penalty in mpg. Thanks for the KZfaq videos. I rate you in my top 10 KZfaq creators.

When you get back to the Lewiston/Clarkston drop the trailer and drive down the old Lewiston Hill. Lots of twisties!

Thanks again for the chats.To have dialog with other human beings is encouraging.Talk at you later.

Subaru Outback, no problem getting to the ringing rocks. :)

Robert, we've been regularly watching you since the beginning of the pandemic, and we regularly sing "I'm riding," in our family. We really enjoy your videos. You've inspired us to make a channel of our travels to our favorite places. You have such a great skill at editing, music, etc. Have you ever considered making a video on how you make such great videos? We'd love to see that, as you're a master of it! In any case, keep riding and we'll keep watching! Thank you! You make the world a better place!

When you were in St. Louis a few years ago and visited that church right next to the Arch, Sacagawea's baby was baptized in that parish when they returned to St. Louis. The church was built in 1834 so not in that actual church, but at a previous church on that site.

Welcome to my state, Washington!! :)

The Louis and Clark expedition started at the point, the beginning of the Ohio river in Pittsburgh PA. That was considered the gateway to the west at one time. Everything west of Pittsburgh was considered unexplored

Springwater Corridor is an Oregon Trail.Lewis and Clark were the most assosiated with Jeffersons approval to try and map the west...

Hello Traveling Robert😊😊🎷🎷🍔🍔🍟🍟🎸🎸🍕🍕, Robert this was an AMAZING video checking out as many Lewis & Clark signs on the way. I gotta say though that it would have been more scenic if it wasn't all that smoke😞. The Mountains were awesome, especially along Hwy 12 heading west to Lewiston. What a SPECTACULAR drive it was! I can't wait to see what's next as we head to the Pacific. OUTSTANDING VIDEO ROBERT👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!

I think my fave song by you is that one that played when you left the "ringing rocks," always puts a smile on my face lol....and man, it kinda sucks that there are so many unique and interesting things you can only get to with a higher clearance vehicle...don't think I will ever have one in my lifetime, especially with how much gas it costs for those....but at least you give us a way to see them as up close and personal as it can get...thank you. p.s...now i gotta go to Butte...looks like a really neat town!

Yet another classic video Robert, such a shame about the dodgy Memory stick (and the smoke). Really looking forward to the conclusion next weekend. Thank you.

Amazing Filming, Fantastic and Very Well Done 5-Stars.

imagine ppl who haven't been able to travel, what a great opportunity they have, traveling vicariously looking over your shoulder. thanks for all the extra time effort it takes to do the off route places it brings so much to the surface!! I've traveled much! but you always take me to new places on the maps, every time I watch your content! cheers & safe travels.... thru America. thanks for sharing it ALL!!!!!!!

Hello from Lewiston, Idaho. Too bad you couldn't have stayed in our hometown a little longer. Lewis and Clark camped on the Washington side of the confluence, directly across from the bridge crossing from Lewiston to Clarkston and met the Nez Perce on the Weippe Prairie, above Orofino. The Nez Perce were credited for helping them survive the winter when they crossed Lolo. If you ever make it this way again would love to show you around.

Born in Idaho at Bannock Hospital.... Thank you for the trip down memory lane! Love LOVE love the video!

There's things that are out of a person's control (technical difficulties, weather, wildfire smoke, routes), but all you can do is make the best of it. You did a wonderful job of making the best of your trip and always have. Thank you for including the glitchy footage, it was still worth watching. Thank you sir for what you do, stay safe, and God bless you and your family. ❤

I love watching your videos. It is so relaxing 😌. I struggle with painsomnia . It relaxes my mind. Thanks for all your hard work.

That Lolo pass drive to Lewiston has been a bucket list for a while and it has still eluded me on my travels. Once warmer weather returns it is a must. It looks amazing. Pure and complete wilderness on both sides for miles and miles

Very interesting and historic video. The Lewis and Clark was a feat incredible. Very beautiful places.The mixture of rain and smoke gives a impressionistic effect to the video. Very beautiful places. Congrats.... Great video..... I see you on the road....Love...MOM

Very enjoyable! We went to Butte and parked in the Safeway you drove past! Thanks for reliving great memories! ❤

OMG my hometown Butte Montana. I walked every street of that town. You even drove past my parents art gallery. Thanks so much for this seeing how much has changed in the 4 years I moved from there.

your on man...Population of Gresham Oregon 113,103...23.65 miles is the size...IT backs up to the Springwater trail.Where Lewis n C.came through on covered wagons...

Love your travel journal as I plan to drive back out to Idaho from Ohio and will be following part of Lewis and Clark with side trip to Glacier NP before dropping into Boise. Thanks for putting in all the place names along the way as I like to pause the video and locate the sites on Google maps as I am a map person.

Love the scenery and the wild life. The animals looked like they were standing back admiring your bad ass truck! 😎

Robert, this is my home state and I've never been to some of these places! Thank you for the history lesson!

Another outstanding video! Butte! My grandmother came to the Butte/ Anaconda in 1906 from Ireland! Cardwell, MT is named after one of the State Senators that was part of making Montana a State. He was the reason so many from Antrim County, Ireland came to Butte. ❤

excellent video very informative all climates and beautiful places,Thanks so much.DG from Fort Lauderdale Florida

Absolutely love your videos, entertaining and educational 😁

Enjoyed this video. Beautiful scenery and interesting history. Thank you.

Well I know you are persist in your videos, but you can't change the situation of land. It is what it is. Your adventures or always spot on Robert. Oh glad you got the new truck for off rode traveling .

Beaver Rock Campground and Lemhi Pass were incredible!! So was the city of Butte! Really enjoying this series Robert!

What an adventure !!!

Congratulations on your new Chevy! You should have a 20 amp circuit from your truck to the trailer to charge the battery. However because the alternator can put out well over 100 amps, and the Lithium battery can accept more amperage than the stock lead acid battery, it can cause the fuse to trip, probably the Colorado fuse tripped, and that is why it would not charge your battery. I would suggest getting a automatic reset circuit breaker to replace the fuse in your new truck. If the trailer draws more than 20 amps, the circuit breaker will overheat (before the wire can be damaged) and then cool off after about 15 minutes, and reset itself automatically. There is also a control that can limit the charge rate of a Li-Ion battery when in a RV, so it will not overload the alternator. It is very important that Lewis and Clark made it to Oregon by the time there was deep snow in Montana! Did you know they brought a metal pot to make salt once they reached the Pacific Ocean? That way they could preserve deer meat for the trip back home. I live about 1/2 mile south of the Columbia River, and 8 miles east of Portland Oregon! So you where very close to my house when you did that part of the trip.

Wow it does look like a beaver swimming thru the water I believe. Hey Robert I like the truck! I bet you was glad you had it going over the mountain to ringing rocks I bet you and wife were like what the heck!! Oh and I bet the more room in the truck and power are really nice from the Colorado. Been watching you since 2018 enjoy your trips. You inspired me to get a small a!most like your but a Coleman a year ago. Thanks bro!

Got to love those caverns...what a ride...excellent video 📹!

Hola Roberto! This has been quite the expedition! Aside from the smoke, this has been quite educational AND enjoyable to watch AND listen. Yes, listen… the new variety of music scores has really added a lot to your vLog. As a fella musician (flautist) it’s a delight to hear a combination of genres and compositions. Nice work.

Wow, magnificent scenery , thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing ! I love to travel vicariously ❤

Loved the video, smoke and all. I know it impacts the view but I believe people need to see this is the reality of out west at certain times of the year! You set realistic expectations which I really appreciate! Good job!

Boy you do find some out of the way places? I love it!😎🇺🇸⚓⛄😃😇🤪

Three Rivers, the Missouri Confluence was indeed flooded as part of the catastrophic "500-year" flood event, 2022, in Yellowstone. We were camping at the confluence during the flood and had to map out an escape route just in case. It was profound. It looks like the signs were moved to save them from the flood. You missed the nature trail from the middle of the Confluence Campground. It's the best part :-) but I don't know how much of it washed out. Be sure to catch it next time. And though there are no hook ups, the campground is, I believe, $35 a night and very quaint. They often have guest speakers for ranger presentations, but the local Rangers are fascinating to hear, as well. Safe travels!

Off road Trail Etiquette , Remember vehicle climbing up hill has the right of way. So if you’re descending you should be the one pulling over.

Thank you! You've once again enriched lives. I loved the Kansas City rift at about 15:15 - 18:45. You are a master of your craft. I'm going to have to download that song for a long road trip.

It's too bad the Washington/ Idaho smoke obscured the skies..... Peace my friend- if you are ever traveling the hi line and need a place to park your home for a day or three- look me up... Thank you for your vids!!

Lots of places I wouldn't have got to see if you hadn't done this video thank you

I always enjoy your longer videos Robert! Lewis and Clark Caverns is a great stop. We did the Classic Tour last year in September.

Robert I grew up in Butte Montana-The Mining City and also known as Butte America -really enjoyed see Butte and L&C Caverns-Been there many times -You should come to Butte and explore the Mines, Berkeley Pit full of water -and “the War of the Copper Kings”very interesting history-Our Lady of the Rockies” is also worth it -Enjoying this L&C adventures 😃🚌🇺🇸

Exciting and beautiful episode. Awesome being in the same plavves at the same time of year..

Que bello lugar para explorar

Lewis and Clark made a crucial mistake when they arrived near what is now Missoula, and they decided to make a southerly crossing over the Bitteroots instead of taking a northerly route on the Clark Fork river. Their Indian guides were unfamiliar with the route, and Clark scouted the Clark Fork and found it to be too turbulent and rugged. They didn't realize that the river eventually ended at the Columbia via the Pend d'Oreille. They would have had to cross 50 miles of rugged country then it would have been clear and downhill all the way to Washington. Too bad about the smoke - the Bitterroots are stunning.

These videos reaffirm my desire to see my wonderful country first before wasting my time overseas in places they don't like Americans despite being "Allies." Except Australia, they love us there.

We went to Montana from Oregon in late September. It has been fun watching your videos and seeing place we were too. We drove Lolo Pass west to east. We drove back to Oregon east through Wyoming and stayed in Yellowstone a few days the south to the Grand Tetons. We traveled Teton Pass back into Idaho. It was great :) Take care!

Hi Robert great video thankyou say hi to mom

Hey Robert l ate those MRE's for 20yrs in the US ARMY. They are a acquired taste! Ha

As usual, really enjoyed this episode. Congrats on Starship's official debut- lookin' good!

great video, love the history and the beautiful scenery even with the smoke lol still nice.

Wow. I enjoyed your prior Lewis and Clark video so much and the nostalgia it raised in me I hadn't even realized I was watching a second video of yours. Montana is amazing and I will always treasure the time I got work and live there in and around Yellowstone. Kudos Robert!🤟🤟

Enjoyed your video. Thank you.

Bravo Robert! Well done! I can’t wait to see the Finale!

magnificent video. Thanks Robert. Can't wait to see the final episode of Lewis and Clark

thanks love it see you on the road

Looking forward to the Columbia Gorge next week! I wonder if Lewis and Clark knew much about the Cascades...

Can you say "harrowing."? From Ringing Rocks to stopping to walk a bridge, your segments were breathtaking and so historically fascinating. Thank you so much. Silverado will get a much-needed bath, I'm sure, after performing so well for you!

We live in salmon. Pretty nice area. The fires were from the Moose Creek fire. 3 firefighters died in that incident. Two helicopter pilots and one firefighter. The Savage grill is named after the high school mascot.

Un gran viaje y bellos paisajes de ensueño😅😅😅

Hi Robert. I think this one is my favorite of the Lewis and Clark episodes so far! I need to definitely revisit this area. I did US 12 over Lolo Pass back in 1998 but I went east instead of west. That was one of my more epic road trips! I did Helena, Great Falls and Glacier National Park. I came back through Canada over the Crowsnest Pass (highly recommended). It’s funny that until you mentioned it about Lewiston and Clarkston. I never made the connection until you mentioned it. I can’t wait to see the finale, a lot more places that I have been to as well!

Great penultimate episode Robert. So cool seeing the town setup for “1923” season coming up. You and the other 3 people really should watch Yellowstone lol… Also, if any way you subscribe to FoX Nation, Kevin Costner has a 4 part documentary on there about Yellowstone NP’s 150th anniversary. The final episode (4), he really highlights Lewis & Clark but really John Colter who L&C picked up in Kentucky for their expedition. When it was over, he did not accompany either of them back East. Instead he went off and found what is now Yellowstone NP. There’s so many stories about him I don’t want to spoil but Costner covers them a lot in the 4th episode. I hope you get to see it. The whole 4 part series actually.

Truly a legendary playlist!!

Hi Robert next time try Sparky’s Garage for some good BBQ I stop there once on the way to Glacier National Park I wish i could send you some pictures of the food and the restaurant Love you videos

I love Montana!

great job

Wonderful episode as always Mr. Robert, thank you...,👍🍻

You must mean "thick haze"... unless there's a forest fire nearby, it wouldn't be called smoke .. Con mucho cari~no, bro! Thanks for taking us along!

What a really nice video. Many thanx Mr Robert.

Great video

Another great one Robert...you go where Angels dare to tread....wow what a road to the Ringing Rocks. If I ever traveled west I would want you for my driver!! You have mad skills.:)

We were at Glacier NP on Sept 11-15. We encountered forest fire smoke our entire trip. Although we particularly encountered smoke-fog on our Lake McDonald & Multi Glacier lake tours, we fortunately didn't smell the fire.

Thank you for sharing. Robert

Savage grill, eh? Really good video as always. Thank you!

@Traveling Robert I am sure your Colorado could have charged the batteries, but bet the HOT wire was not hooked up on the plug end of the truck or if it was, a fuse was blown. Should not be much difference in alternator's. Btw, you know me, regardless of vehicle I would have taken the road and very glad you did, sure it built your confidence and made you feel good about the decision in updating trucks. By now I doubt you would want to go back to a mid-size towing vehicle.

We haven’t watched Yellowstone either, we must be the other two you mentioned. Lol. Safe travels.

Awesome scenery

you did a lot of research . good work

I was in Kingman, AZ on September 10th on our Route 66 journey!

If you loved those caves, you need to come to Jenolan caves in the Blue Mountains NSW! They are amazing! 😊

Another great episode. Amazing scenery, and amazing history. Really enjoyed being along for the ride on this one. Just curious now that you have had the new truck for awhile, how do you feel about it as a tow vehicle compared to your previous one? It looks great for sure. Thanks again, and as always, safe travels....

Robert, that's MREs that you're eating.....in New Orleans we call that hurricane food. 😅

I for got to say Sparky’s Garage BBQ is in Butte Montana

I’m surprised you didn’t stop at Traveler’s Rest State Park in Lolo, MT. It is the only archaeologically confirmed site of a Lewis and Clark campground. Pretty cool and a must see for anyone following the trail.

Sorry you didn’t didn’t stop at Kamiah, ID, just before Orofino, where L&C wintered.

Like that you stopped in Salmon...Have been there several times as my father lived there for alot of yrs after parents divorced until he passed...Just went through there two yrs ago on our way to camp at North fork just up the road a bit....When its not smokey, its a beautiful area...Had planned to retire there but a woman got involved and stuff changed LOL ...Have also skied at the resort at Lost Trail Pass.(Continental Divide)....Was wondering if they still had all the log cabin kit companies as you travel from Lost Trail to Missoula ??? Used to be alot of them you would see on the road there and i didnt see any in your video....Travel safe, be well....

Awesome

Great video Robert! But I'm amazed and mystified that you guys drive forever on those back roads and never stop for gas? 🤔🤔 must be an off screen thing

The Ringing Rocks looks Awesome! I wonder if that can be reached with a long range electric bicycle? Maybe if I park closer to the bad off road section, and ride from there?

39:49 he used mountain tops to make angles and then he locked his logs in ! he was glad to get into the mountains so that he had landmarks to get angles from ! the compass helped but it was not that important ! the mountain tops( landmarks )were what was important !

!Buen video Robert!

Whoops. Slight mistake with labeling the location at 43:03 where you drove up to Lemhi Pass but labeled it as Lolo Pass. No big deal and keep up with the great video work!
