Loved the video. My dad grew up in Missouri and I heard folk lore about the the creeks moving after the earthquakes. I loved the museum and wished I could have seen it when we visited Missouri when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing.
This was such an enjoyable watch one of my fav videos so far way to go Russ your adventures are the best You obviously like to head out real early on Saturday and Sundays mornings to beat the traffic !
Been watching your Arkansas tour and enjoyed it since I used to travel the entire state for work many years ago. There is so much to see and you explored most of it...missed a few things in Eureka Springs...but that can be another trip. Now watching the trip from Wickliffe, KY, since I am very familiar with that area also. My hometown is Blytheville, Ar. the NE corner of Arkansas on the Mississippi River, where we would have to ride a ferry to cross the Mississippi River, going to Kentucky or Tennessee, many years ago before a bridge was built near Caruthersville, Missouri, to cross the river. Thanks for the journey, it brings back lots of memories! I have watched several thus far....Louisiana, Iowa, Missouri...
Hey Russ, wanted to give you just a bit more history on the New Madrid earthquake. The Mississippi River flowed backward during that time. An underground river in a cave in Cave City, AR (14 miles north of my hometown, Batesville, AR) rose with muddy water. The quake was felt in Washington, DC. Crowley's Ridge in eastern AR was formed from this earthquake. If you had traveled across the Mississippi River from New Madrid into TN you would have seen Reel Foot Lake which was formed as the result of the quake. There is a seismograph in a museum there that is constantly recording quakes in the area, most of which are 2.0 are less range. Thanks for the road trip.
Really enjoy your videos. I am surprise you had not heard about the great earthquake before. Having lived in this area and fished in reelfoot lake that was formed from this earthquake we know about all of the history. There are some great books on this and some on line reads. It was very well documented in all the nations newspapers during that era. the noises that came during the quake the cracking and groaning that a lot the news paper articles wrote about always got me!! I watch tress in my yard sway from right to left during a 5.0 aftershock in late 1969 . Never will forget that day!! Looking forward to seeing a road trip on the river road! Thanks for what you do Tom
I love that you are down in our area, too cool! It's neat to see the place through the eyes of a newbie. It's very quiet around here, which I love. And yes, we still do occasionally get woken up with a little shake here and there.
GOD BLESS , UNITED STATES AMERICA , RUSS , RVerTV FANS. WE LOVE RVerTV - GRAND JOURNEY THRU - U.S.A. - GRAND VIDEOS - GRAND MUSIC. SNOW / 3 INCHES/ COLD - IN EASTERN CANADA. THANK YOU RUSS.😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Hey Russ! Thanks for the wonderful travel video. You went to places I have never been. Very interesting! I really like the drone footage. Keep up the fine work. We appreciate what you do. Stay safe!
Thank you Russ, it was really good to see that beautiful area. I read somewhere about the earthquakes, I think it was in a story set at the time in a boat on the river.
I just discovered your channel this morning. We usually travel across the Mississippi and Ohio rivers at this location. I believe that is the shortest road through 3 states, one mile from the state line over the Miss to the state line over the Ohio. We were there last September and crossed the Mississippi bridge the last day it was open. You mentioned how rough it was, it was really bad when we crossed. We love Lamberts too. We have stayed in the parking lot before they added the RV park. If you're ever back to the Wycliff area, there is a great State Park south of there, Columbus Bellmont SP, Civil War battle field above the Mississippi.
Thanks again for sharing this area of ur travels!! I’m going to Kentucky and Southern Illinois from Colorado to see the eclipse next month!! I went to college in Carbondale, IL so I know Cairo and I did my clinicals in Missouri. This video is great. Thanks❤
All that rain is needed to keep the river flowing and all those trees green. Cairo is mentioned as the most desolate city/town in America having lost so many residents. Kind of sad but I've read southern illinois folks have little in common with the north. My great grandpa was a farmer where you show the rivers coming together. I've never been there so your video is awesome for me. Cheers. 👍
I remember the back roads you're filming. Lived in KCMO for 11 years. In 2018 I made the call to go home to Alaska. Alaska changed in population. However, it didn't change in simplicity and appreciation for the all outdoors activities.
My Third Great Grandfather was a youth in Missouri during this earthquake. What a horror to be around that! His family was unharmed but I am certain all was a wild time. They were flour millers and also farmed a bit of newly settled land. My husband and I used to live in the Southeast so we have traveled in an RV in that area near the Mississippi in Kentucky, Missouri and in Tennessee.
I have the pass. It's called "America The Beautiful". If you go to a national park, they'll sell you one at the counter and give you the card and dashboard placard right there. If you're over a certain age - it's a one-time fee, (think it's 70 or bucks? ),. Good across the nation and worth every penny. May not work in certain places though.
I lived in Shawnee Kansas and worked in Kansas City, Missouri. Enjoyed visiting nearby towns. St Joseph, MO-historic sites. The House where Jesse James outlaw was shot and the Pony Express. Check out the educational Glore psychiatric museum. Weston, MO-quaint small town has the 1800 store front businesses, known for Historical museum, winery & distilleries and steamboat port. Decorated for Christmas. Kansas City known for Spanish influence with many impressive fountains. Check out the Arabia Steamboat Museum. Nelson Atkins museum. Bingham -Waggoner Estate Mansion decked out for Christmas. Independence, MO- visit the Vaile Victorian Mansion full of history. Home of Harry S Truman, museum, gravesite & library. Topeka, MO has a wonderful Kansas Museum of History. Lawrence, MO- Native American influence and Powwow Cultural festival.
The Ozarks, also known as the Ozark Mountains, Ozark Highlands or Ozark Plateau, is a physiographic region in the U.S. states of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and the extreme southeastern corner of Kansas. The Ozarks cover a significant portion of northern Arkansas and "most of the southern half of Missouri****,"extending from Interstate 40 in central Arkansas to Interstate 70 in central Missouri.
Russ, you missed the best of Sikeston. At ine time it had the most millionaires per capita. Southeast Missouri is a drained swamp, also called "Swampeast" Missouri.
Illinois, Cairo, Sikeston, New Madrid were all mispronounced. I think you finally pronounce Sikeston correctly, but New Madrid really grates on the nerves of the locals. I can imagine how you'd pronounce Cape Girardeau. 🤣 That said, my mother loves your channel.
