It’s actually both. From Wikipedia and other sources: Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster, and, by extension, for the clock tower itself, which stands at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, England.
Dog owners know that #2 is definitely our favorite number! We all have our little plastic bags out in hopeful anticipation and then do a happy dance all the way to the trash can!✌️😂🎉💯💥🤸💃
Trin is on a morning routine! Every morning like clockwork, until she messes it up and has a 2 poop day... then it's a guessing game for a few days until she get's back on the morning schedule. 😂 -J
Oh you guys made me chuckle when you were visiting Old Ben and yes, I did laugh a bit. Then I heard Kalyn say steer again. What a fabulous WIFI name for the campground. Love watching y’all do your daily stuff. Love that tire inflator so much. And yes, I know it was an ad. It was a great one. I love gadgets like that since I loved working on cars when I was a kid. Oh my, I lived in a Santa Fe town growing up and I used to hear them all the time. It was the most reassuring sound when I’d wake up from a nightmare. Had to look up the “corn” field since I live in Ohio. You mentioned tombstones Joseph and I found this: “Ghostly sentinels of an agricultural past. Cochran planted his white corn in regimented rows, suggesting, he said, the rows of identical white tombstones in a military cemetery. In this way, said Cochran, the ears of corn represented people, and the overall artwork memorialized the loss of agriculture in the face of suburban sprawl.” That is kind cool. The eternal flame was so cool. It might be my favorite oddity though Big Ben was cool. The dragon was cool too. Now I looked up all the oddities near us and I think I might take my husband to see some. He’s never been to Jungle Jim’s in Fairfield (or the new one in Eastgate) so I think that will be a nice day trip for us. Then there are some other places to check out I’ve never been to or heard of and I have lived in Ohio for 38 years. Amazing how you can get that rig parked Joseph. Okay third time is charm. I’d still be trying. lol I have never backed a truck up while towing anything. And good job with the water. You may need to rethink referencing “Joseph projects” as a negative. Okay I am rambling but just love your videos. I watch one TV show a week. On Patrol: Live which comes on Friday and Saturday nights, three hours each night. I had to watch your videos before it finished, I couldn’t wait. lol Travel mercies.
Just a friend PSA with the Viar, do not touch the round metal section after use. Will definitely burn you. I branded my leg once. We've had ours since 2018. It's great.
Wow-your parents yard is like a sponge. There are lots of areas of the USA that would like some of that moisture. Glad you did not get stuck. I did once in someone’s yard and they had to pull me out with a tractor. How sad what I did to their yard. They were so kind about it , but I bet glad to see me gone.
I was shocked at how soft it was! They hadn't gotten much rain either! They have a yard guy so I'm planning on sending said yard guy a check in the spring to bring it back up to snuff. -J
You will love your ViAir. They are the best. I carried around a cheap pancake compressor that took 45 minutes to air up a low tire before I ordered the RV ViAir.
We almost had an issue uploading last night! 😂 I was sitting in the truck in a big empty parking lot with starlink hoping the internet speeds would increase. 😬 -J
Church on the road has been one of the most challenging parts. If you are going to a new church every week, it's new people, you're in the middle of who knows what study etc. We "attend" a church online that we also attend in person when we are home visiting with Kalyn's parents. When we are with my family in Florida we attend their church as we've built some friendships there as well. We were part of an online small group for a couple of years as well. That is challenging if you struggle with video calls in the first place. There's nothing quite like in person, face-to-face fellowship. -J
The Kaskaskia Dragon is very cool at sunset or just before sunrise We camped overnight next to the dragon in Oct on our way to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta
The steer was weird for sure. The concrete corn was right up there with the steer. The eternal flame was the wildest. Glad you made it to your parents house. I hope the stay went well as I'm sure you are in the south. I have had a Viair for years and it still works great. Your commercial on e-trailer is so interesting, I literally watched it all and was entertained. That never happens, but it did with you. Hope you are safe whereever you are. Take care.
Thanks so much!!! That's our goal with our sponsors - we believe it's up to us to make them watchable and fun. If people skip - that's on us for not being interesting enough that time around. 😁 We didn't make it far enough south... LOL. We're currently at an electric hookup in western MD waiting out the winter weather. Didn't want to take a chance with hitting snow in the mountains. -J
100% I actually cut that from the video (I explained that people might have heard of Corning. 😂) Corning Glass is the cities claim to fame! I believe they also make Gorilla glass which is used on a lot of smartphones. -J
R.I.P Lil spider 😢 Trinity is such a good girl! I love how calmly she sits in her bed in the backseat ❤ Have you had her a year already? She has a kind disposition, just like her humans 😊....thank you for sharing the wakey road side attractions. Can't wait for next week's video. Safe travels 🙏
Heya guys! I’m back - we did our own trip last week last week - we went back to the United Kingdom and had the most superb weather! I missed you guys though so happy to get back into routine again 😊
Didn’t look at a single video the entire trip! The scenery around SouthWest Wales was all we needed. Just as well as were moving back there early next year!
Yeah.... anyone offers to let us moochdock at their place from here on out i'm sending them a link to this video with the "Are you sure about that" meme. 😂 -J
Close shave on the dragon aside, your drone shots are so good!!! You are really doing an awesome job getting maximum drama with the angles and approaches. 👏👏👏
Hello. That Viair looks way better than having to hook up to the batteries. I had one once, not sure if it was user error or what, but it took FOREVER! I did more faster with my Ryobi battery powered air compressor whoya. But might look into that one. Thanks for the fun stops. These are awesome!!! Safe travels. Hopefully you two are out of the NE since they are getting pounded with snow!!! (guess I should reread the last newsletter! Oy vie!) Thanks for sharing.
Haha! We're in Maryland...the west side so we aren't getting pounded with snow, but we are blowing through propane and have our electric fireplace on non-stop. 😂 Further south tomorrow!! -J
Been following u for awhile and was excited to see you in Dublin. If you travelled 33 fm Ft. Wayne to Dublin you passed near our house. Remember passing the Honda plants, we r right there. Sounds silly but was cool and yes the concrete corn is just a great example of too much money for no good cause! Safe travels.
Not silly at all - it's always interesting and cool to know people who have passed by or to see the familiar! As I was editing this video I told Kalyn that it's weird seeing Corning and Binghamton in our videos since that's familiar territory for us. 😂 And yeah - 33 was our route! -J
I did the same thing I put everything in my wife’s cupholder but now with the new truck, I got more storage. Then I know what to do. when you pull that drone over sitting there looking at that he just hit that thing
You're doing great Joe, issues happen but have confidence! We're all cheering for you guys even when things go wrong! Oh no lol. I live in the Rochester area and was hoping id see you guys drive through the area and wave (unlikely but it would have been cool lol)!
Haha! I think my confidence go wrecked a decade or so ago. Coming back slowly though. 😂 I just left it in there because I laughed as I watched my "processing" face. 😁 -J
The concrete cornfield is definitely the weirdest thing I think I have ever seen. Don’t know how you found that but my favorite was the eternal flame that was way cool. Oh my goodness did you ever tear up the grass getting into Kaylen‘s parents yard oops. thanks for another really fun video that makes you laugh and shake your head at the same time.😂❤
We left a couple of tire tracks in their yard the last couple of times... this time was a whole other level of utter destruction. I'm thinking I'm just going to fly Kalyn up there next time and I'll just stay with the RV with Trinity so I don't do that again. 😂 -J
I live by the corn field and nobody knows what its about. We think its weird too, but the rumor is that it's a fertility garden. If you drive by it at night you'll get the idea. It's a good thing you got Trinity neutered.
Great Video!!! Thanks for going to the Eternal Flame. That was way to cool. Corn field I have to say has to be the wackiest attraction of them all. Enjoy your time with Family and have a great Thanksgiving.
Poor spider😢... You're already pulled them out of the way you should have just let him go. You could have put your fifth wheel at a storage place for a couple days and then just stayed at your parents.. it'll be fun fixing the lawn in the spring LOL Nice to see that you still in contact with some people from the church when you grew up. Free salvation can be found at: 1st Corinthians 15: 1-4, Romans 10:9,10, John3: 15-17.. it's a free gift not by works Ephesians 2:8,9 God bless you and yours and all my brothers and sisters across the world! 😇
I have a hate hate relationship with spiders... 😂 I know they take care of bugs, but not around me. We like living in our house as much as possible - but we'll have to see if we do that again next time. Last time we didn't tear up the yard like that... 👀 -J
I live in Ohio, not that far from Dublin, but have never been to the corn. You are so right many things in your backyard to see. My roommate in College freshman year was from a farm outside Binghamton, NY.
The state park in Bluffton, IN has a really cool Bison enclosure and a nice quiet campground.
I actually visited that park with a friend while we were there! - K
Hi! You were in my neck of the woods at the Eternal Flame. My husband and I love going there. It's a fantastic attraction!!
I want to go back when it's frozen... but I don't want to be there when it's cold....How can I make this happen. LOL -J
@OpenRoading lol. Being from Corning, you should know that probably won't happen in WNY. Wishing you 2 a very happy holiday season. Take care.
Indeed. I stopped enjoying snow when I had to work a construction job in it. 😂 -J
Big Ben isn’t the clock - it’s the Bell inside the Westminster Clock Tower!
👀
Whoops...
😮 🤯
It’s actually both. From Wikipedia and other sources: Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster, and, by extension, for the clock tower itself, which stands at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, England.
I am living vicariously through you two. Thanks.
Thanks for riding along! -J

Thank's for the tip! 😁 And if I ever take up ranching I'll keep it in mind for a multi-purpose tool. 😂 -J
I know I’m just a guy but that dragon was cool!
RIGHT!?!?!? TOTALLY worth the stop!! -J

Happy Friday hope you guys are doing great?
Happy Friday Anthony! All is well (and a weeee bit chilly). 🏆 -J
You did your Thursday night deadline!!! LOL. Love you both!!!
We almost had an issue uploading last night! 😂 I was sitting in the truck in a big empty parking lot with starlink hoping the internet speeds would increase. 😬 -J
@@OpenRoading You seem like a godly man. Is that true? If it is, I am hoping to find some sort of church on the road, if that is even possible.
Church on the road has been one of the most challenging parts.

bridgewater.church is where we tune in. -J

Oh that's a really cool idea! Hadn't even thought about how the fire would be so much more epic then!!! Now I have to go back... 😂 -J
Great content. Thanks for sharing ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! -J
Great idea putting water on counter if you question your LevelMatePRO. I guess you’ve been around the block a few times.
It will get you close enough! 😂 And I have a level in the basement... but I didn't want to dig it out. -J
Oh no! Children of the corn!!!🌽 😂
That would be an epic way to decorate that field for halloween. 😂 -J

The concrete cornfield is definetly weird. Seems like a real one would have been a better use of space 😂
Not an ideal setup to play running games in the city green space that's for sure. 😂 -J
Corning Ware? Now I know where! The little blue flowers were a part of my childhood.
100% I actually cut that from the video (I explained that people might have heard of Corning. 😂) Corning Glass is the cities claim to fame! I believe they also make Gorilla glass which is used on a lot of smartphones. -J

Heya guys! I’m back - we did our own trip last week last week - we went back to the United Kingdom and had the most superb weather!
I missed you guys though so happy to get back into routine again 😊
Awesome! And FYI - you can get youtube in the UK 😉. I kid I kid!! I hope you had a marvelous time that was wayyyy too busy for screens! -J
Didn’t look at a single video the entire trip!
The scenery around SouthWest Wales was all we needed. Just as well as were moving back there early next year!
Joseph, when you were at the dragon, how did you refrain from doing the Beavis "Fire, fire, fire" voice?
😂 “Hi, I’m Joseph and I’m worthwhile and confident in my handyman skills!” (Have I shown you my Bear School pin?!?) Love it!!!
😁
O No the yard but they love you they are happy you all are there 😊
Yeah.... anyone offers to let us moochdock at their place from here on out i'm sending them a link to this video with the "Are you sure about that" meme. 😂 -J

Almost 42! It's creeping up on me! -J
Pretty hard to compete with the Largest Ball of Twine but the Eternal flame definitely wins the Cool factor !
😁
Fun vlog guys! Thank you😊
Oops. It's bad luck to kill spiders. Oh well. At least now, when something happens, you'll know why.
Watch to the end of the video... I think it caught up with me....or at least with my inlaws. 😂 -J

Thank you for taking me along on your wacky adventure
Thanks for riding shotgun! -J
Getting the dog to poop when you need it!! 😮 Only a fellow RV’ing pet parent would understand!! 👍😉
As a parent, I would think when you leaving. LOL But real glad you came.
Great Video!!! Thanks for going to the Eternal Flame. That was way to cool. Corn field I have to say has to be the wackiest attraction of them all. Enjoy your time with Family and have a great Thanksgiving.
Thanks so much! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! -J
I Love the KOA. look what you did to the grass.. geessss
Yeah.... It's a good thing my in-laws like me. Or at least they did. I may have used up all my good will on this stopover. 👀 -J
I think your videos keep getting better and better!
Aw! Thank you! We try to get better each week! -J

Such a unique place! -J
You have very nice parents-I would be telling my daughter to hit the campgrounds 😂-I sure hope you appreciate them ❤
I live in Ohio, not that far from Dublin, but have never been to the corn. You are so right many things in your backyard to see. My roommate in College freshman year was from a farm outside Binghamton, NY.
I got one for you in Wisconsin. Dr. Evermor and his Forevertron.
Holy smokes! That thing is a beast! -J
@@OpenRoading And that's just the large main attraction. There are acres more full of smaller creations he did.
welcome home to you!! what was your favorite wacky feature? im guessing dragon for J and fire for K?
I WAS BORN IN QUEENS AND GREW UP ON LONG ISLAND
Nice!! We grew up in Central NY and lived in the southern tier for our growing up years. -J
Hey I'm from buffalo ny I love the content
Very cool! Maybe next time we are in western NY we should do a meetup - I've had a few people comment from that area! -J
What did that spider ever do to you?
built a house on my RV! -J
@ Spiders eat mosquitoes.
Lol😮😊❤
😁
I hope you enjoyed your last invitation to stay at Kalyn's parents' house.
Maybe you can call yourselves “children of the corn”😂
😂. Cement statues of kids running out of the field would be an epic halloween decoration! -J
@ you’re right! That would be awesome!
