Hey Huckleberry, hope y'all have a bodacious time meandering down the muddy old Mississippi!

@jennyvezina4551 Месяц назад

@sayitskay keeping you in my prayers, too. The Carpetbaggers videos are a wonderful way to see the country without having to leave your home.

Your video today makes me think of the line in an Indigo Girls song, "The Mississippi's mighty, it starts in Minnesota, at a point where you can walk across five steps down."

@gregstephenson414 Месяц назад

Ghost! Great song.

@jcg336 Месяц назад

I’ve never thought about the beginning of the Mississippi River. So cool to see how it begins. I hope you get to see the only waterfall on the Mississippi in Minneapolis. That’s a peaceful spot in the midst of the city.

@NebukedNezzer Месяц назад

I was where you are 45 years ago with my wife. still looks the same. beautiful place

Hi Jacob 👋 thank you so much for taking us along on your road trip!

@atinwoodsman Месяц назад

Looking forward to this adventure

@JeffThompson-pz1eg Месяц назад

There are several locations from the movie grumpy old men along the river. I saw a couple of them when I drove truck. Was the first place I ever saw a bald eagle in the wild. It was flying over the river. Was so beautiful.

@nadiaborzacchini6858 Месяц назад

Love your videos I think the Mississippi River museum would fit right for your video be safe on your traip

@realnarwhal Месяц назад

My grandma has always wanted to book a river cruise that goes all the way down the mississippi river, so hopefully I get to see some cool things from watching this video!

@maryblaufuss7533 Месяц назад

I can't wait to hang out on the Mississippi Riverbank again, with Jacob as guide! (I used to live in Clarksville, MO and also St. Louis.) Please show us a boat at a lock as it goes through. If we're lucky, we'll see a riverboat and it will play its calliope as it waits to proceed.

@nv_spartan1771 Месяц назад

Mississippi river trip sounds like a cool idea. Time to queue up Johnny Horton.

@misterbookworm Месяц назад

Love exploring the Mississippi River region! Been taking trips along the river throughout my life, especially a handful of day trips the past few years along the Iowa / Illinois portion. Beautiful route. Never gets old. Enjoy the little town of Sabula, Iowa - the only Iowa town that’s on an island right along the Mississippi. There’s a really cool little park west of town that’s surrounded by water that's a nice place to enjoy nature. Quad Cities - Figge Art Museum - has some really interesting Grant Wood (American Gothic Painting) and Frank Lloyd Wright pieces, as well as this massively long painting that will give you plenty of Wizard of Oz vibes!

@mgehrum Месяц назад

Jacob love your new journey.. you should’ve taken a " sample" of the water from the start of the river and release it in the gulf :)

@bobcalderon2534 Месяц назад

Nice video, love the wizard of oz museum 😊

@7passionstar Месяц назад

This is already an awesome trip. What a groovy idea! 😍 Thanks so much Jacob, for doin' what you do. ❤

@AwkwardAnxiousJennifer Месяц назад

Wow, it's so cool seeing the Mississippi River start off as a tiny creek! I *think* the first Big Fish was a pike, but I could be wrong. It's interesting to me how it still looks like late winter/early spring up in Minnesota. It's looked like full summer down here in South Texas for a month or two already. It'll be cool to see the seasons progress as you make your way south! Overall, I'm looking forward to this trip!

@TomBeiter Месяц назад

When you come through just south of the St. Louis area, there's a tourist town Kimmswick, Missouri which has a famous restaurant The Blue Owl, known for their "mile-high" pies. Also in the same area is an original 1959 hamburger and ice cream drive-in called "Bob's". Great neon sign and fantastic chocolate malts.

@tomboyraider1015 Месяц назад

Omggg i wanna go to all these places!

@lizlocher3612 Месяц назад

Good Job 👍🤠 Carpetbagger, getting in the wonderful Judy Garland Museum and actual home she grew up in,!!! The giant fish at the restaurant also was the catalyst for yet another Carpetbagger idiom " giant toothy maw"!!! Classic Carpetbagger lingo. We need to develop a book with all the interesting n unusual combinations of words n phrases you have coined throughout your videography!!! I took, am a Great fan of Paul Bunyan and his Blue 💙 Ox companion, Babe!!! Your first day along the "mighty Mississippi" River trek has turned up some VERY unusual n eclectic roadside wonders, n I would call that EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger!!! Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow!!!

@jeanniehuskins6218 Месяц назад

Look forward to following the Mississippi.

@mikehughes4969 Месяц назад

I read Tom Sawyer at a very impressionable age, and have wanted to go down the Mississippi by raft ever since. It was only when I became an adult did I realize how impractical and improbable that would be, but it's still another item on the bucket list. My guess was U.S. 1, so I was wrong. Safe travels, my friend.

@deannahaapala3356 Месяц назад

You were in my neck of the woods. Nice. Come back and see the Bear Sanctuary. Also in the town of Ely there is the Bear center, Wolf center, Dorthy Molter museum plus so much more.

@user-uq4qo7wm2x Месяц назад

I loved this! So fun seeing all the Babes and Pauls out there.

@kschweiks Месяц назад

No way! I was literally up in Itasca State Park Monday - Wednesday earlier this week and in Grand Rapids yesterday morning!!! Wish our paths would have crossed!

@tammyhill9816 Месяц назад

Thank you for the amazing videos. I live in VA and in our area we have the Breaks Interstate Park, the Grand Canyon of the South and also the Ralph Stanley Museum.

@carriegluesing Месяц назад

We live in the quad cities it’s right along the river it includes Iowa and Illinois. We just had a new i74 bridge built a few years ago. There is a lot to see here also can’t wait to watch this!! ☺️

I've always wanted to see National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque Iowa

@DarkPoke99 Месяц назад

Jacob I can't wait to watch this series and see all the different museums and road side attractions you will see along the way for this amazing road trip. I loved your other road trip series you did and all of the stuff you showed us it was very fun and educational since I learned about stuff that I never knew before. So can't wait for this series and I hope you drive safe and I wish you luck on this amazing road trip adventure.

@bibiijaz6238 Месяц назад

Hey this has been my goal trip for a long time. Money is the limiting factor in my case lol! Stop at pikes peak iowa! It’s the spot that I first laid eyes on the Mississippi River and fell in love! With the river. Fell in love with the river. Have fun!

@drewo6388 Месяц назад

Thanks for the great videos and sharing your travels with us! I fell back in love with road tripping because of your channel and I've found so many new travel ideas and points of interests from your videos. Thank you so much!! Keep on keepin' on that long, lonesome road!

@Jsteng08 Месяц назад

This what I was waiting for You learn things and see really cool things Great start to the road trip Jacob

@sfranger9113 Месяц назад

Fun fact: It takes about three months for water that leaves Lake Itasca, the river's source, to reach the Gulf of Mexico and now you know lol

@keithmoritz239 Месяц назад

Mississippi Palisades State park outside Savannah Illinois gives some absolutely stunning views of the river.

@otomoto258 Месяц назад

This is a great idea

@cecilmiller6557 Месяц назад

Sounds like a good idea, looking forward to seeing the new content, my suggestion is to go fishing with your hands, it’s called catfish noodling, you’re never be frightened of a coaster again. Be safe and have fun

@billsharp3786 Месяц назад

This sounds like a great adventure. Have fun, Jacob.

@derekthell1019 Месяц назад

I found a native American arrowhead their when I was young Minnesota is where I was born and raised i now live in Massachusetts but miss mn everyday enjoy the trip Jacob and thx always for your content

@kindredspiritbaseballmom7913 Месяц назад

I love this so much. I haven't seen anyone else make this journey. I hope you stop in Dubuque, Iowa. I'm originally from Syracuse NY but live in SW Michigan and we visited Dubuque Iowa for my son's travel baseball tournament and fell in love with the area. I believe there is a Mississippi River museum there, and there is a beautiful river walk. Dyersville is not too far away and that is where the Field of Dreams movie site is, also a couple baseball museums. I suggest watching the movie first though, it will be more meaningful.

@liquiddinamyte Месяц назад

Look forward to this lovely road trip... What great nature! HAVE FUN JACOB ✌️😁

@FrankensteinLover Месяц назад

@captbloodbeard 7 дней назад

That is pretty serendipitous that Judy Garland grew up in a house that was connected to the Judy Garland museum. Good planning by her parents, I'd say. Maybe if I grew up in a house connected to a museum about me, I'd be famous too!

@Sampflu Месяц назад

Please stop somewhere in the Driftless region! Winona MN is my hometown and the bluffland is beautiful.

@mikemiller8021 Месяц назад

@elf5012 Месяц назад

Oh my goodness, what a fantastic journey this is going to be. I have never seen the origin of the Mississippi River right up close like that. Thanks for taking us along.

@oifiismith Месяц назад

Aloha! Jacob. That's the area my family is from in Minnesota. Been a few years since I've been to the head waters of the Mississippi. I remember there was an oddity museum near there. Thanks for sharing your trip. Safe travels and God bless.

@mindyhoeh4466 Месяц назад

I love your adventures we’re hoping a trip to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge in our future! Because of you!😂😊

@kurtpacha9457 Месяц назад

Im a big fan from Davenport. Hope you stop on your way through. Also, a jewler from Davenport invented sliced bread.

@SquarePegs Месяц назад

I think this is probably the journey I've been most excited for since I found your channel. The Great River Road has long fascinated me, and to see the journey through your eyes is going to be really fun. Safe travels!!

@bentrider1972 Месяц назад

I have a pic of me as a kid standing in the middle of that spot where the Mississippi starts

@superbadgeethan8335 29 дней назад

As a kid, I had little to no interest in learning during our school field trips. Infact, I considered a lot of it really lame. But now that I'm in my 40's all I want to do is go on "field trips", explore, see, and learn everything. My dad once told me to be careful about what I judged and disliked, bc it will somehow become part of your life one day.

@tippytoes2358 Месяц назад

Go across the river to WIsconsin, then back across to Iowa, and then back to Illinois and back to Missouri. It's crazy how you can hit so many states and attractions.

@SamsTrains Месяц назад

This is why Jacob’s videos are the best - awesome video can’t wait for the rest of the trip! Thank you!!!

@crueltyfreecolorist1025 Месяц назад

Lurker here, been watching your videos on and off for a few years. First comment on any of your videos. I’d like to go here, it looks very peaceful.

Spend some time in Galena, Il and see Grant's home.

@unclemetal8774 Месяц назад

I used to live near there in Bagley, Minnesota. Also I have a tattoo of the Bemidji Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.

@mr_jake.y8348 Месяц назад

Good video CB. Show your dad on video tomorrow.

@darrendavis4008 Месяц назад

I may have mentioned my town before, but Collinsville, IL home ov the Biggest Ketchup Bottle. It is 20 minutes from St. Louis. You and Adam the Woo briefly stopped by it. Another place next to Collinsville, IL is Cahokia Mounds which has the oldest Indian Mounds in this area. They have a State Park Museum there. You can even climb the Indian Mound. If you are hungry, you can stop in at my sisters restaurant, Ravanellis in Collinsville. She is the General Manager, Cindy Wilson.

@user-ys6nw5ju9j Месяц назад

Excellent Idea

@coliniverson8588 Месяц назад

You should visit the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, MN, they have a penny press there as an added bonus Also, once you reach Dubuque, Iowa, be sure to visit the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, it's a neat spot. Also also, you should visit Hannibal, Missouri, hometown of Mark Twain, the town has a very nice downtown with Mark Twain's boyhood home and a Mark Twain museum. It's worth the stop.

@paulfuryes203 Месяц назад

Cool video, Jacob . Love Paul and bab. I'm looking forward to the next. Take care, my friend, and safe travels as always .

@matthewfarmer2520 Месяц назад

@lissachocolate Месяц назад

Really cool to see the very beginning of the Mississippi River! Pay Bunyan, Babe, and Judy Garland, Oh My! Great start!

@Snelsem Месяц назад

Hey Jacob, next time you come back North to the Pittsburgh area, take a short drive to visit Linesville PA - where the duck walk on fish….the spillway is a site to see. The Conneaut Historical Museum is out that way as well. They have some relics from Conneaut Lake Park and some items from the Blue Streak!

@conniecrawford5231 Месяц назад

Allegheny College graduate here - beautiful northwest PA !

@Snelsem Месяц назад

Yes!! I don't think Jacob has traveled that area. I know he would do a great job showcasing it all!! Too bad he never got to go to Conneaut Lake Park!

@mattabromovich991 Месяц назад

Alton, Il would be a great spot for you. I know you are a big fan of Robert Wadlow. His statue, childhood homes and grave are worth a visit.

@paulkrejci3205 Месяц назад

@angiebell7066 Месяц назад

The big fish is a northern pike I believe. Love the video born and raised in Grand Rapids Mn. Thanks for showing my hometown to the world

Ok so who else was singing Wizard of Oz along with Jacob? To fun. Day one and this adventure is already turning out to be as fun and educational as one could hope for. Most gracious thanks Mr Carpetbagger. Safe journeys Jacob my friend.❤

@Corgis175 Месяц назад

Watch your daily vlogs. This is and will continue to be a great trip. Definitely stop in Mark Twain's birthplace and town, think it is Hamilton.

@MrRyguy2112 Месяц назад

The first time I arrived at the crossing point at the start of the river, I was pleasantly surprised by a rather low flying bald eagle. A small gathering of people watched as most of us thought it might be looking for a fish. It eventually flew away, but I just thought that was an interesting introduction to the headwaters. P.S. thankfully there was no field trip there to ruin the silence. I am a firm believer in the old adage children should be seen and not heard!

@bg199083 Месяц назад
