I have watched your channel since the beginning. During covid, I didn’t have much to do. Couldn’t work, couldn’t visit my kids and grand children for fear of passing it around, you remember all the tribulations. And I came across your channel snd loved it from the start! One of the episodes that sticks out in my mind is when you were literally knee deep, if not higher, in snow, trudging through it and I believe you were loving it!!! I have always thought you did a beautiful job filming. Always. A lot of the greatness of what you do is the story-telling part, so when you said your earlier videos were awful, I sure didn’t notice! Hope you stopped at a hotel for the night-you sounded exhausted.
Wow, what a great note, very inspiring. That was fun to read and bringing back memories. Well I’m writing this at 12:37 a.m. mountain time, and I’m 28 minutes from home. I am alert and energetic, but boy when I hit the sack tonight, that’s gonna be it-I am sleeping in tomorrow morning!!
Yep, that one is coming out this Sunday night, you had to be there. Trust me. It may not come off as much in the episode, but it’s the first and only time that I’ve actually been physically insecure and very very nervous throughout the entire walk, which I kept shorter than normal. I was happy to get out of there. Nothing against Birmingham, but this place is unequaled in creep factor I also stumbled upon something horrible in there, you will see it. A complete shock and surprise. Who knows what goes on there at night!!!
Hey Ron...checking in from the Great State of Kansas! I used to travel on the road for business years back. Frankly, I don't miss the wrecks, detours and crazy drivers...so...I respect your desire to bring us fantastic content at your own risk!👍 Keep Keepin On!✌
Hey Ron I live in Brisbane interesting video I love your channel I'm so glad you started this.. And thank you to your wife being away from you why you travel and mske content for us. Safe travels 🙏
Sorry I missed the live. Here in northeast WI in a heat wave. 30 degrees today/tomorrow. Then, highs below zero Sunday through Thursday with wind chills -35 and below. Texas looks good right now! Safe travels! Always love the videos.
Me too, I wish I could bump into Ron on his visit and listen to him talk about his travels, alas I won't be going anywhere as I have mobility and health issues. I'm just content to catch up with him on here.
Very true about your story telling, everytime you bring me to the time and place you're talking about ! Love it !! Ron the time machine 😉 keep up the good work and always stay safe 😊
Thanks, yeah I know that. Their story, and grave visitation has been pretty worn out on UA-cam, I won’t do reruns, but thanks. I love all the suggestions.
I love watching your channel I have learned a lot from you I have never been to USA I have just got over a serious illness and I am getting back on my feet again please keep doing your videos Very Interesting from the UK🇬🇧
My Wife's Mother,Father and many other family members are buried there in VH. I helped square out my Mother In Law's open plot when she passed away. I got down in there with a shovel and all the In-Laws looking over the side. It was a little unsettling.
I am so bummed I missed this live.😢 I’m enjoying this cemetery. Sorry your trip got diverted. Thank you for all your very hard work! You’re the best! -Nina
Great to see you Ron! Sorry I missed the livestream. Can't wait to hear the exciting news coming up! Btw, this cemetery is so pretty and laid out so nicely. RIP to all ❤💐
Mr. Ron- should your travels ever bring you near New Orleans, check out the big cemetery at Chalmette. It was an old French plantation right on the banks of the Mississippi River. It's a national cemetery now and one of my ancestors is buried there somewhere. He was killed by Confederate artillery in an obscure fight south of Vicksburg in 1863. The battle of New Orleans was fought there in 1815. The British made a suicidal frontal assault on a very strong defensive position equipped with a lot of heavy artillery manned by Jean Lafitte's pirates. It was a disaster. About 2000 British soldiers were killed there, nearly all by artillery. Their commanding officer, General Pakenham, was removed from the battlefield and shipped home to England. He was placed in a barrel of brandy and perfectly preserved to this day. Pickled, I guess. The remains of the 2000 dead soldiers were buried in a mass grave the location of which remains unknown. Perhaps you could find it. I was a pilot too. I had a Piper Pacer, PA-20. N7652K. I was a gunner on UH-1B gunship in the 1st Cav in Vietnam.
Thanks I’ve been to almost all of the cemeteries in New Orleans, traveled their extensively over the last three years, two big trips there and I’ve already been to that cemetery. It was the grave of the Civil War woman, who pretended she was a man. I can’t remember her name, but you could search my channel. Thanks, love the suggestions
MARYLANDER here! Navy Family. I actually got to talk for a brief time when I worked on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation Habitat for Humanity project Summer 1994 in Eagle Butte, South Dakota. He was a graduate of the US Naval Academy here in Annapolis! He was also a Nuclear engineer and a Submariner. My own father was also a Naval officer and a scientist. Dad helped to build the very first Atomic Reactors for Submarines in the late 1950s early 1960s! Admiral Rickover's program! Jimmy worked with Rickover ,too! Rickover held very high standards ! So did Jimmy and my dad! Both were two of the "Few Good Men" and " Officers and Gentleman ," too! GO NAVY! 🫡🫡🫡 🫡🫡🫡⚓️⛵️⚓️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
That’s a beautiful cemetery! I was there in October! Lots of veterans there. There’s been a drought in Texas for quite a while, but if you go back up toward East Texas, there’s plenty of water because they’ve been getting rain.
Oh yes, I think it was San Angelo right? I was in San Angelo and that’s when I was looking that up, I think I remember that was just north west of San Antonio. Yep, thanks.
Hey neighbor. Tucson here love your live streams. Totally love history. My dad's been gone a year today. And I just needed to watch something cool. I've watched and subscribed to you for 4 years . Looking forward to your next vid. Much love and respect. Drive safe!
Hi, Ron!!!! I’m riveted watching this. My dad and grandfather spent so much time in Van Horn buying cattle to put on train to Kansas. Also!!! My twin boards her horse in Cave Creek. She lives in Scottsdale. I keep hoping she runs into you! Rock Chalk❤
Wow, that's a nice cemetery. So nice and neat. Loved the bench made with the wagon wheels. The Vietnam vet died in 2016. Those holes looked like they were made by an armadillo or maybe even a fox or coyote. Can see the kicked up dirt. Always love when a train comes through. Idk, but seems like trains and cemeteries just go together. Looking forward to your Texas videos.
Off hwy35 outside of San Antonio there is a little town called Somerset , I found a really old cemetery at a rock church . Really neat. Historical marker
We live a little over an hour south of Lubbock and go there often. I'm familiar with the towns you mentioned. You were definitely still in West Texas if you were in Dickens and Spur. Enjoy your channel and loved the live. Thanks!
No, the interstate I was talking about was from Carlsbad directly to El Paso. That’s way north of interstate 10. I said in the live stream it’s interstate 10 that I was on there and that’s why I ended up at Van Horn. I had a backtrack and get down south to Interstate 10. That’s the main interstate to the south I always take going through New Mexico into Texas, well if I’m going to San Antonio or Austin.
Your history is so interesting visiting these graves. I live near two very famous graveyards in Gettysburg,Pa. Don't know if you have ever been to Gettysburg? Have a safe travels and thank you very much for all of your adventures to these graveyards. Jack
My husband has a lot of family in Van Horn , and many in that Cemetary. Melendez and his cousin Cynthia Fiero. We are in Midland, it’s south of Lubbock.
There are two Cemetaries in Pecos. The old original beat down one and the newer one. Gunfighter clay Allison is buried in Pecos. They moved his body after his daughter died, from one cemetery to another.
if I wasn't running out of daylight to get to the next one, this cemetery in Van Horn, I would have filmed a 10 minute tour for later. dang! I wont be back down that highway from Carlsbad. nothing but rock trucks, a slow crawling mess. all the other Texas highways are great, but not north of Pecos.
Yes, I did a couple of stories there, I went to Howard Hughes grave two years ago and also who’s the actress I can’t remember, same Cemetery, just search my channel you’ll find the Houston episodes
Yeah, I hear you there. When I filmed early this morning in Spur, I think it was 29°, when I finished walking, I couldn’t feel my fingers. Luckily, very little wind or I wouldn’t have made it!
Ron, you need to come to Bastrop, Texas there are some really cool cemeteries here. Also, in Lott, Texas. I have two family cemeteries that are really, really old. Also, in Gonzalez, Texas! I can't wait for the Cherryvale! There was a mass murder that happened there...go a little farther north and you will be on Chanute, Ks. Center of Google Earth! There is a really old Hotel on the corner that my husband and I almost purchased! Great place! Horrible owner!
Sooooo cool the train whistle always (usually, mostly), blows during your recording! I love it!!!
Thanks, yeah, it’s uncanny!!

I don’t wanna spend one more night in a hotel for now, I guess I’m a grinder, almost home!
Hope you get well deserved rest-thank you for all you do!!!
I love it, great weather, very spacious to walk
Great livestream 👍 thanks for sharing ron...
I hope your enjoying your trip, I have been shoveling a lot of snow and a bunch more to come and going to be very cold, like -5 degrees.
Yikes, that’s cold. Hang in there!! Sending some warmth your way.
You look very posh in your Stetson, Ron. Thank you for another great episode. Beautiful day. Interesting cemetery with a definite Spanish influence.
They call me, Mr. posh
Hi Ron love your channel thanks you for the place you taking us to
Great content as always Ron!
Thank you brother! I appreciate ya!
Beautiful cemetery! The mountains are calling my name..
I'm waiting for the story from Birmingham at the creepy cemetery..
Yep, that one is coming out this Sunday night, you had to be there. Trust me. It may not come off as much in the episode, but it’s the first and only time that I’ve actually been physically insecure and very very nervous throughout the entire walk, which I kept shorter than normal.

Well, you must’ve done a really good job, because everywhere I looked there. It was immaculate. What a lucky stop.
I live in England I find your videos fascinating

Is it me, or do all your travels lead to a dead end?
Well yeah, it’s a cemetery 😳
🤔🤔😉😉🤣🤣😂
Ha ha ha, oh man, that’s another bad one. The other one is “they’re dying to get in there”. Drumroll please. 😂

Beautiful sunset stroll with Ron. I find the earth mounds on the grave a bit creepy, as if someone is trying to dig their way out😮
That’s a beautiful cemetery! I was there in October! Lots of veterans there. There’s been a drought in Texas for quite a while, but if you go back up toward East Texas, there’s plenty of water because they’ve been getting rain.
Great video Ron!, nice Sun, big hello from Australia 🇭🇲

I went to more of an unknown one. it is called Lara Cemetery. very small, but looked historic and different....barren.
if I wasn't running out of daylight to get to the next one, this cemetery in Van Horn, I would have filmed a 10 minute tour for later. dang! I wont be back down that highway from Carlsbad. nothing but rock trucks, a slow crawling mess. all the other Texas highways are great, but not north of Pecos.
