Thanks for coming to Nebraska Robert! There are a few things you can see when you come back. Just to start the zoo is World Class, great museums, Birthplace locations(Pres. Ford, Malcom X, etc) , Pedestrian Bridge over the River (next to the National Parks regional office), Fontenelle Forest trails, Benson district, and much More!
Again, thank you for the ride! Kansas City was a quiet place but Omaha, Nebraska was entertaining with life. You could see the difference. See in the morning, get some rest ~

Hopefully you'll see this. I recently ran across your channel while researching next years trip to Yellowstone/Grand Tetons area. I have so much to say..... Your voice and your accent are actually very calming and enjoyable to listen too. You seem to be well educated and knowledgeable of what and where you currently are. This video, about Nebraska was spot on as well. I live in Omaha and have for a few years (Kansas City is my hometown) as work brought me to Omaha. I worked on the Railroad (Union Pacific Railroad) for nearly 41 years and Omaha is home of our Corporate Headquarters for the company. You are right that not many East/West Coasters know or care much about this part of the country and just to see your expressions and hear you say that it is nice, was a pleasant thing to hear and for you to say. Anyways, I just wanted to drop in and say how much I enjoy your travel videos. Happy Traveling. :-)
Robert I want to thank you for posting these videos for people like me who have little ones at home and are unable to travel. We are living vicariously through you as cliched as it may sound. May god bless you with never-ending happiness, good health and prosperity. Thank you sir. Especially during tough times like this when we are unable to travel, these videos bring so much joy. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for this video. I am an Omaha native but have lived all over, including NYC. Always enjoy heading back to Omaha and my home state of Nebraska. Also, if you do decide to come back to the "Midwest", consider visiting the Nebraska Sandhills, which are up north of I-80. A lot of history and a lot of beauty. From Ft Robinson on the west to the Niobrara River on the east of this region. Give it a try. You might run into me later this year. Keep up the good work.
For several years some friends of mine and I would randomly point on a map and travel there in the summer when our work would slow down. As a result I’ve been to Nebraska. We took one route there and another back. I really enjoyed it there. Met some wonderful people and have many cherished memories. Loved Omaha. Such a quaint and charming city. Still need to see North Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas to complete my west of the Mississippi quest. I’ve ticked off most of the east coast except Vermont, GA and FLA. I have friends in all those places so hope to go one day. Thanks for inspiring people to see the beauties right here at home.
What a small world. I was in North Platte in early August on the way back to NJ from Colorado. I went to the Golden Spike tower and saw the Union Pacific Big Boy steam locomotive that they rebuilt in time for the 150 year anniversary of completing the first transcontinental railroad! I also got gas at that same exact station and pump that you did in town! LOL! I guess Kevin Bacon was correct with his 6 degrees of separation! Happy travels. We are all itching for the country to reopen.
Thank you for sharing your trip to Omaha, Nebraska. My Grandmother had a sewing drapery business in what was Aquila Court, now the Magnolia Hotel in the 1920’s. I always wanted to return, but now I feel I have done so. I love all your videos, I love the pictures, and your gentle conversation, thank you!
So cool the video!! I miss Omaha, Columbus, Lincoln, I've lived in Columbus back in 1983/1984, Love this State; the People, the looks, the way of living, the plains, what a great place!!! Regards from Portugal
BIG vote for a trip to the Midwest (when you can do it - virus permitting) - no one really covers that area and I would love to see it. Thanks for posting - its Sunday afternoon here and just what I needed!
Hey Piggyduff I see you like Traveling Robert welcome. I'm Kaleb and on my channel I make travel vlogs on my traveling and I would appreciate it if you could come and check out my youtube channel and subscribe to it and it would make my day. Thanks man and be safe.
Greetings from Omaha NE! I wondered if you drove thru NE! Wish my husband and I followed you then and would have invited you for dinner/cocktails!! ... I just started following you right when the pandemic kicked in. Love love all your travels. My husbands loving all your FL travels. I’ve been there many times and I can’t wait to take my husband. Miami, South Beach area (where all the beautiful hang) , Tampa, St Pete’s, Ybor City (saw Flamenco dancers same place you dined). And of course he’s looking forward to having authentic Cuban coffee and Cuban cigars!! Cheers from Omaha!!
I have been to car henge. From your map it looks like you might have been through Crawford, Nebraska, around Fort Robinson State Park, a beautiful section of Nebraska! I know you wanted to see the railroad yard in North Platte. You also got to see the monuments along the Oregon trail. You did miss the heart of the Sandhills, Nebraska Highway 2 is pretty amazing. Also the wildlife refuge at Valentine, Nebraska. Also southeastern Nebraska and the fruit orchards around Nebraska City. Thank you posting your travels in often overlooked Nebraska!
Roberto, I knew you were Cuban!!! My mom & Grandmother were born there (Camahuay). Left Miami after Hurricane Andrew 92, for The Ozark Mountains. No regrets. Feels like home,more free, cheaper living. Total heaven. Safe travels, Glad to have found your channel , enjoy our most beautiful country!!!; 🇺🇲😃
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this visit through my home state. We are always in a hurry to get to Colorado vacation spot and have never stopped in Alliance or at Chimney Rock so especially loved that. Love watching these on Sunday morning. Thank you again for the great job you do.
(to the beat of Riding in My RV) "I'm wishin.....wishin I was with my RV.....Great episode Robert. A very overlooked state indeed. I've only ever driven through when on IH-80. Good to see it get some TR love.
It was really nice seeing more of Nebraska than I have seen driving through. I love that you find all these treasures in states that are overlooked. fantastic Vlog as always
Thank you, Robert, for the preview of Nebraska! We're headed there this weekend, starting out boondocking for a week in the hills about an hour north of Carhenge. We wanted to see what you discovered in Nebraska, and as usual you didn't disappoint. Great job as always!
You need to spend more time in Kansas. The Eisenhower Museum in Abilene is interesting, just make sure that you try the fried chicken at the Brookville Hotel while you are there. The Flint Hills are scenic, also.
It's such a joy to watch a video by someone who truly appreciates all the great state of Nebraska has to offer. Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed your time here.
@@cocotaveras8975 that's its strong point. Very affordable. $120K can buy you a good house; $220K can buy you a great one. We've always hovered around full employment as well, even now.
Great video! Very informative. I've been thru NE many times, never took a closer look (in a hurry). In process of selling house now, looking forward to traveling with a TT & seeing EVERYTHING! I love museums & historical points of interest. Thx.
My old stomping grounds. I grew up about 45 miles south of Lincoln, worked in Lincoln and Omaha (lived about a mile south of the Old Market for a year or so... Before moving on to Dea Moines.) You even wandered past a couple of the things I did the drawings for way back when (pretty basic infrastructure stuff... 😏... Not exactly what a traveler notices...).
Very interesting video. The old cars, that from afar looks like Stonehenge. Beautiful Chimney Rock. Omaha clean and beautiful city. The historic train traffic. Congrats, Keep up. Love MOM...>>>
Great video! Brought back memories. We used to live in Omaha a few years ago (a U.P. employee) and loved the Old Market and several other restaurants. We don’t miss the wind though - especially in January.
Who would have thought Nebraska and Kansas would be this interesting ! Or maybe you have a special talent to make all cities seem beautiful on camera :) Thoroughly enjoyed this video , didn’t expect it would be so good , thanks for the upload
You were only a few blocks from Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway office, when you were at Mutual of Omaha. Should have popped in to say Hi. 😁 I was born & raised in Omaha and have been in Vegas for the last 20 years. Back when Mutual of Omaha was just the 2 buildings and no plaza or commercial/retail mall and the ConAgra building with the fountain wasn't even a plan yet. When you were there, you were also right next the the Union Pacific Dispatch Center & the Heritage Museum/Train Depot. Maybe hit those on your next trip through.
Robert. Your videos have helped me and husband to feel a sense of peace after all the anxity of the pandemic. I know it's not over yet but thank you for your beautiful scenic video's and calming nature 👍👌
The Archway: very interesting museum for me; documenting efforts of pioneers and life on Trails; history lesson. Looks much bigger when you are inside. I understand that not everybody cares.
Thank you for showing the portion of where I grew up, it’s actually pretty neat when you think about it, it used to be amazing to see, lightning did take away from some of its Glory. 🥰🥰
Alliance has a really pretty City park with a unique water fountain that lights up at night. Also Box Butte Avenue is lined with cobblestone streets. Neat railroad town. Also if you ever visit Chimney Rock again, you can keep going south to the end of the road and turn right. Go until you reach the end and there is an old cemetery up there and an excellent view of the landmark for pictures.
Just watched your video... I'm amazed how people think Nebraska is so flat, but when you explore the state, the most flat part is along the Platte River where the interstate was built, and that must be why so many think it's a flat state... Like your video... Hope you can come back!
Another wonderful video Robert! Love that you started at Carhenge and all the places you visited--all are gems! The fog at Chimney Rock was fantastic! It's impossible to see all of great places in a state in a single trip, especially when you're on a schedule. Whenever you get back to the state, consider the Museum of the Fur Trade in Chadron--it's another gem and not necessarily well know outside of fur trade aficionados. We stumbled across it years ago and it was wonderful!
Great video, we have a grand-daughter due to be born this summer in Lawrence Kansas and though we would do a trip through Nebraska. This is a great help! If you return to Omaha, the Zoo is wonderful. Also, Downtown KC is fabulous and is know as the City of Fountains
If you ever return to Omaha Robert check out the Bob Kerry pedestrian bridge which crosses the river between Omaha and Council Bluffs. At night with the neon lights it is glorious. You can see it on the internet but being there is better. Also perhaps the Blackstone entertainment district on Farnam Street, you narrowly missed it when you went to Midtown Crossing and the Benson entertainment district on Maple Street. And you really should see the Capitol District, you narrowly missed it when you went to the Old Market. And Gene Leahy Park is scheduled to be completed in 2022.
Thank you for these wonderful videos. The first video I ever watched of yours was a four hour one of your trip to Arizona. It's was so entertaining that I was glued to the screen. Your channel is the best! 🚐🌴
Robert, Me and my best friend (my wife) we are binge watching your video's as we are shut in trying to do our part to "tame the beast". Thank you for you video's of your adventure's before when the world was a much better place:)) They make us smile(s). Please be safe and keep smiling, Gordon and Karla from Oregon.
The biggest reason the railroad went through what is now Nebraska, is back in the days of steam. Engines needed water about every 50 miles. So that is why the tracks went where they did. Now as times changed and engines needed less and less water and then non at all. Tracks where realigned. So there you go. Cheyenne Wyoming has the distinction of being called "Hell on Wheels"
The legislature was in session the day we visited and got to see the unicameral system at work. If you’ve not made it to Kansas, be sure to see the park and Keeper of the Plains in Wichita. There was also a neat chapel in a field by the interstate between Lincoln and Omaha. Good food in Old Town Omaha.
I really enjoyed this. You went through Alliance, Scottsbluff and Chimney Rock a month after I was there. I have family living in that region. I've also traveled Kansas and I80 over the years to visit family in Iowa, so it was nice to see. Glad you showed the capital building in Lincoln, I've never been there; did enjoy a great aged steak in Omaha once. Thank you for this! Happy memories for me 😊
I encourage you to come back to the Midwest. Your statement about going to the Kansas City area and going from there is a good one. KC is considered the Heart of America, just in case you hadn't heard that! Independence is a very nice community that is only a few minutes east of Kansas City's downtown area and the home of President Truman. I encourage you to visit that area. It is a few blocks from the Independence Square. Lots and lots of history here (I live in Independence). The Truman Library is currently undergoing a massive renovation, but should be completed by next Spring.
