  1. Hi Robert at 2:06:26 that is Red Bluff Reservoir in WAY WAY West Texas! Orla, TX to be precise. Interesting place with a lake in the middle of the desert and the Permian Basin oilfield! Those are well pads that you are seeing from high in the sky! That place has more oil than Saudi Arabia. Great video!

  2. Texas is just an ugly state in my opinion. Our family lived in San Antonio for a year and the trees are just small & craggly. There is virtually
    no rain whatsoever and the grass is dead because they have watering restrictions. Once you drive past the eastern part of the state, you
    might as well be on the surface of Mars! And the property taxes are ridiculous in Texas. To each his own, but Texas is not all that and a bag
    of chips. Some people love it. The people who were born and raised there will fight you for it and I get it but it's just a place that is void of
    any real natural beauty and the larger cities just have way too many people for any real comfort for families. I guess it's whatever you get
    used to in the end.

  3. The campground in Tucson where all the spots were very close to each other, my dad would call that a “slap your neighbor” campground. All the spots are so close you could “reach out and slap your neighbor!”

  4. Also, I’m glad that you guys had a safe trip in Tucson because they pray on tourist, they love kidnapping and robbing people that are not from Arizona Tucson is actually a hotspot for the cartels and is extremely ghetto😂😂😂 lol overall, Arizona is taking a drop drastically due to fentanyl and homelessness and ghetto people in general lol

  5. I can’t wait for you to do another one to view a different part of Arizona. Maybe you can see Sedona and visit the only blue McDonald’s before it change its color to yellow ❤❤❤ or strawberry or two stone, the old cowboy region area that’s a good place or McCormick Ranch! You could ride the train

  6. The air on the mountain is for Apache Junction when you go closer to Phoenix and you see S on the mountain, it’s either for South Mountain or Sunnyslope if you’re in the sunny slope of Phoenix, that is the ghetto our mountains are lettered due to the cities or counties❤❤❤❤

  7. I love your videos, but as a Arizona native, the Sinaloa hotdog are everywhere Phoenix surprise Goodyear they’re not just a Tucson thing. It’s a Mexican culture thing. lol and they’re all over California a little bit they have different type types of Sinaloa hot in Phoenix. There’s like 12 different kinds you can get.❤❤❤❤

  8. Love your videos. I just started watching them again. You never disappoint. Your comments about the Xmas decorations after Xmas is because it’s still Xmas in the church’s calendar. They stay up until February 2nd. People in their homes usually don’t take them down until the Epiphany or the coming of the Three Kings. Weeks after Xmas day is over. That’s why you saw lots if Xmas decorations in New Mexico. Even in Illinois our church doesn’t remove it until February 2. Goes by the church calendar.

  9. I’m from Europe but studied abroad at NMSU. Loved New Mexico and it was so nice to see a bit of Las Cruces and the area around it! My dorm room had a fantastic view of the Organ Mountains. Thank you so much! (I’m also a teeny bit jealous cause I still miss the food!)

  10. We come here for history lessons, travel lessons, RV lessons and the music oh the music I often find myself humming to traveling Robert’s songs. . . and for this Catholic, all The visits to Mother Church are the icing on the cake! Thank you Robert and Ily- you are wonderful- God bless you both!
