I lived in North Dakota for 12 years in my 20’s. It will forever hold A special place in my heart. There is just something about the people and the scenery. Most of all I miss the people “North Dakota Nice” is the saying and it’s 100% true some of the best people I have ever met in my entire life.

The artists name is Gary Greff, a very nice gentleman who has a dream of keeping his home area alive. A man with an enormous dream. Keep the dream going Gary.

I miss ND. Was raised and lived there for 40 years. The people are the best people you could hope for!

Served in the United States Air Force at Minot Air Force Base, bout 12 miles north of the town, of Minot. Primary mission - Inter Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) & B-52 Bomber - both atomic varients. I served in a helicopter detachment - primary mission was to serve the 91st Missile Wing. 🇺🇸

I'm LOVING this Norrh Dakota episode. What a great ambassador and travel guide you are, Russ. Thank you much. Definitely, a must-see state!

We have had almost 50 inches of snow and it's -8 degrees as I watch this. I hope you enjoyed our state Russ! Thanks!

HELLO RVerTV Russ, Thanks for another amazing Ride along .TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL. 👍

Thanks for taking me along. I live in Texas.

Ann. Thank you for sharing this great historical spot with us🙏🏼😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I absolutely love riding with you!

You have a very blessed life. I'll soon to be 60 in January working my butt off 12 hours a day in this tractor trailer to hopefully be able to do what you're doing in a couple years or so. Life is too short to just be alive and not experience life itself. By the way loved the highway 50 tour that was really good

So very beautiful

Love, love, love these 2 hour "documentaries". I remember watching Lawrence Welk. I love the giant statues.

Well, I'll be. THE WELK HOMESTEAD is not something I'd imagine still 'being there', but yes - certainly a part of many of our lives. Really cool. 'Ah one anda two!'

He had a restaurant on the old Highway 395 in Southern California between Escondido and Temecula in the early 70's I remember watching his TV show, had a bubble machine at the beginning of the show..

I loved your North Dakota road trip. I lived there in my youth and still consider North Dakota my home state.

Thanks for showing me places I will never see in person. You make it special

Oh, simply OUTSTANDING! 💚

Wow you keep mentioning Quartzsite. It's so funny to me . I lived in Ehrenberg Arizona and loved Quartzsite. 1998 and 1999. That mountain is the most beautiful pink and purple in the morning. Every day my daughter and I woke up early to see the sunrise ... you can't even put it into words the beauty of it all. Ehrenberg has grown up now. There was only one small trailer park there when I lived in it. There were about 20 trailers and only half of them were filled. God I loved that place.

I'm from Grand forks ND... It's like going back in time, great people. Welk was my grandmothers second cousin.

das war ja wirklich Spitze eure 5Tage Reise, werde sie weiter empfehlen

Great video. Thanks, Russ

My mom used to watch Lawrence Welk show every Sunday! She especially loved the dancing.In the 1970s, I found the dancing and music so old fashioned compared to the pop music I listened to. Today I am a big fan of Big Band music!

Rustifer..... I hauled the big windmill hubs up that road many times and always took that detour on the enchanted highway on the way back empty.... So many cool things to see and remember!! Just good ole small town America!! Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota... wonderful folks!!

My wife & I watched many,many,many ,of his shows on TV, & listened to the Champagne music 😍😪

I watched Lawrence Welk with my Grandma. It was a fabulous show Yes the accordion and Ball room dancing. Beautiful Show. Lots of fun.

Wow 🎧😎 I'm from Georgia and I called the talking point numbers and followed along as you drove along the Enchanted Hwy.

Very cool. Every Saturday growing up we went to my Grandmothers and after dinner she would have Lawrence Welk on...I didn't know he was from North Dakota. Thx.

What a lovely journey. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Thanks for the video on Strausburg ND When you mentioned it and seen the first road knew the area I visited the Welk Farm a few years back and was met by a huge hailstorm and had to take shelter in the entry way of the home with one of the volunteers Who would have ever thought he would be the maker of Champagne Music Thanks for all your videos of capturing the-back roads of these states

I remember N.D. well. Beautiful in summer but you won't get me back there in winter. I lived through 7 yrs. there and just can not take the winters. Thanks for the memories.

Yes I grew up with Lawrence Welk every Sunday night it was on & it was a family night, I'm in mid sixty. Thank you Russ very interesting thanks for the ride. Pretty cool wow at cowboy museum is awesome I'm going to have to put that on my list for 2023 thanks again Russ

That was awesome seeing my hometown Strasburg ND. It’s been many years.

Fantastic work, Russ! I ended up watching every minute of this with anticipation. I really enjoy these long format travel videos. 👍

This was quite interesting and I'm glad I watched it all 😃

Thank you enjoyed the Enchanted Highway of North Dakota!!!

That is a beautiful little town you just seen on here buddy thank you for sharing your beautiful country that way

I think they used mostly coal for heat back then. Trees are few and far between in N.D.! I had to shovel coal as a kid in south Fargo in the early 50's. My Dad had to haul water in two new garbage cans he bought for that purpose when our hand pumps froze up. I had 1 brother and 7 sisters. Lawrence Welk played on WDAY Radio. I remember us all dancing and singing to it! Dad played banjo.

My grandparents planned their Saturday evening around Lawrence Welk, totally couldn’t miss it.

Thanks Russ for this great video. I want to wish you a happy birthday for tomorrow with 12 months of happiness, 52 weeks of health and 365 days of safe travel. K from Toronto

God bless the place and also south Dakota too

I believe the boys slept in the top floor and the only way to get there was by those steps on the outside of the house. Can you imagine going to bed when the temps were below 20 degrees below zero and the northwest wind was whipping across that lake?

Love that video! Some of us remember one and the 2 and the 3.

Thanks Russ that was really neat hope you have a Merry Christmas take care

🙋Hello Russ! I enjoyed seeing the Lawrence Welk Homestead. Beautiful place. I liked watching it with my Grandparents while growing up.👍

Thank you for sharing your journey through Lawrence Welk, Homestead, and all the towns are going through on here

Fabulous Russ! Thank you for these videos!

This is so beautiful to see all of his work on the road scrap metal art work he done back then for us to see that way I’m so proud to say he sure knew how to make it look like what he made all through that stretch of the highway that way

Super cool video Russ. North Dakota looks beautiful . Thanks again.

I worked in the Bowman area in 2012 for 6 months and drove up to Medora and played Bully Pulpit golf course and it's beautiful. Good good people up in N.D❤

Happy Holidays Russ 🎄🤶🧑‍🎄🎅 be safe ♥

Where else can we see this beauty! RVER TV baby!

Still my favorite RV channel on You Tube. Always great content and oration. Russ, keep up the good work.

Thank you for this wonderful journey through North Dakota! Lawrence Welk homestead! Enjoyed seeing the sod house in the big house! Also enjoyed the antique car and western museum! Absolutely the sculptures! Your camping space in Montana was great too!!😀🌵🐎🇺🇸

👋👋waving to you from Canada, you were SO close this time. 🇨🇦

We are sure are enjoying this thank you brother for taking the time to do all this on here

I loved this. My grandmother grew up in Litchville, and she said Lawrence would come and play at their dance. My grandad ran steam powered thresher back then

It was all nice but I liked the Montana part the best. #29!

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word.. home home on the range. Where the Deer and the Antelope play.. whatch out for the bears! ❤❤❤

Elaborate visit indeed. Missed 'Dakota' aeroplane, that could fit in the motor museum. Massive machine I witnessed in my early days roaring noisy engine.

Can't believe I watched the whole thing, enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Russ.

Lol that must be a friend of Jay Lenno! ❤❤❤ God bless Him

I love your videos. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Russ! I've sat on that overlook bench in Wakashita... those views will always be in my memories and there has never been many folks there ... peaceful

Good memories of N. D.

Wonderful presentation Russ! Glad you didn't get 'et by no cougars at that marvelous site! Thanks and Stay Safe 😊

One of the most enjoyable trips I have taken in my recliner. Thanks so much.

This your best video ever. Loved the old cars and the scenery is great, too.

These cars even make Jay Leno jealous I bet!!!!!!

Well we thank you for your service doing all the driving for us here in southern Alberta, Canada seen all that beautiful country and all the beautiful artwork all through that run. You just went through on

As always Russ, you do a great job. Again enjoyed your video.

I enjoyed visiting family in N.D. but being from Northern Wisconsin I couldnt live there without trees

Thanks for a great video and also the memorability I'm never watching him on TV great times

A really good video of the art work and just good drone views. Thank you

Thank you Russ ,, I’ve enjoyed so many States of Traveling 🧳 with you today on Sunday !! Your A Great Adventure Leader ,, with awesome Cute Character of a Man ‘ West Virginia- Amish Ohio - Now North Dakota 🙏

Thank you very much 😊. Very well done 👏. I really enjoyed it. It was NOT too long.

My father used to sing with Lawrence Welk.”, During the summer barn dances. In North and South Dakota. Before he made it big.

Russ your videos are amazing. Btw your a natural born storyteller

Love your 5-day trips!!! Thanks so much!!

This is so awesome! I was as excited as a schoolgirl when this popped up! Thank you for this, Russ!

I don't know if you will ever see this comment but Lawrence Welk was a childhood friend of my Dad's. I have never been to the Welk home but Lawrence was at my home. He and his main guy from the show was with him. Wish I could remember the year. In one of the buildings you showed a sit on grinding wheel. I still have my Dad's wheel, it's in my flower garden in front of my house. My Dad used to help the Welk's with the harvest. My Dad had a large team of horses he would bring over and the Welk's would help my Dad's with their harvest. Yes the Welks were from russia. My dad was born on the ship coming over to america. there was a large German settlement at Odessa Russia and that is where they were all from, even my Mom's parents came from there and they all spoke German, in fact my parents talked German with Lawrence when he was at my parents home. And yes we watched the L Welk show every week on TV. it was a must. I am glad you did this portion of the video so I could see where my Dad hung out with the Welk's. some of the small town's I heard you mention were hang outs for my dad and his friends. brought back a good memory of my folks, I heard a lot of stories from back there. I now live in Oregon. I was born in Bismarck and my dad came out here to work at the army depot. some times I wonder what my life would have turned out if he had stayed back there and raised wheat. I think the cold got to them

What a wonderful video you have created of my home state. I grew up at the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers. I spent my life working on the Missouri River powerplants. My wife and I shall watch for further videos. A good videographer you are.

Lawrence Welk was the reason my mom made me take accordion lessons. Never did master it.

Awesome Russ!! Love North Dakota! Take care sir 👍

My first car was a 1936 Plymouth bought for $75.00 and gas was 36 cents a gallon when in high school, San Luis Obispo CA. Those where the days. I made $7 dollars a week. Mowing lawns for a dollar with a push mower and was glad to do it.

Someone once told me, you’re never lost if you don’t care where you are.

I remember trick or treating in deep snow and sometimes easter eggs in snow.

I really enjoy your Videos. And when you get out in the country, I have to laugh because you can sure tell your a City boy😊. Keep up the good work, and those Videos coming.

I grew up with that guy watching on the black-and-white TV 📺

Watching from southern Alberta Canada 🇨🇦

BET THEM B-52-S LOVE SCREAMING OVER THAT MEADOW!

Love the scrap metel art 👍

Hi again Russ. Wow!! I will never stop saying that for all the places I have seen thanks to your travels. Lawrence Welk yes, I did indeed watch him with my folks back in the days. Never forget him saying one and a two and off they went with the show. It's funny how states have the same names for towns, Her in Pa we have a Strasburg also they have a train Museum there and a real nice Steam Engine ride out through the Pa Dutch country farms.We also have some fantastic Auto Museums in the area. Lots to see in Pa and I really need to go see more of it. Enough of me blabbing and thanks again for sharing. Safe travels and good health.

WOW 🤩,, Best Museum North Dakota,, visiting is definitely today ,, Awesome Feel like on Vacation of ( 3 ) States 👍🏻
