I’d like to try magic spoon but it’s way too expensive for an occasional cereal eater.
Hey Robert I would like to host you in Kenya to do a trip.
One of my favorite things of being a nomad is coming to a new area and it being nothing like what I expected. When you think of Iowa you think "ahh that's nothing but flat cornfields" but those bluffs near the river are amazing. Every state has cool places and nice beauty if you just look
Well said.
I'm 52 years old Japanese. I lived in Dubuque for four years from the age of 19 to 22 and graduated from the University of Dubuque as an international student studying business. For me, Dubuque is my second home, and it is an important place filled with fond memories of my youth. I also love Galina and went there about 20 times during my stay in Dubuque. My dream now is to travel across the United States in a camper van like Robert-San. Although it is far away from Japan and expensive, I am making plans based on Robert's videos. At that time, of course, I would like to stop by Dubuque again. I will do my best to make that dream come true.
I love this city. I lived here as a kid out near Eagle Point Park. So many great memories and there was always something to see and do.
I’m from Galena, IL and regularly go to Dubuque. Im happy to see someone doing a UA-cam piece on the area!
The view of the Mississippi River remember me to my Book Huckleberry Finn if I was a Child. Much greetings from Switzerland. Tom
This is my favorite part of our country. I was lucky enough to live in Lake City, MN for 15 years. Driving up and down the river roads and traveling to places like Galena made me happy. The small towns along the way are beautiful, too.
Hi from Oxford, England! This is your best vid since pre-covid. So glad you can start to properly explore the world again!
We have camped in the same campground in Dubuque several times over the years Robert. You are so right Debuque is a beautiful little city and so are the surrounding areas!
Thanks for going that extra mile for us! Your the best Robert!🏞🏆🏅
Iowa seems very diverse with all sorts of different landscapes & environments-who knew 😀 Thanks for taking us along Robert! 👍🏻👍🏻
Dubuque is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen.
Robert, I’m glad you got a chance to visit my hometown. Hopefully you’ll make it back because you haven’t exhausted all the things the Key City and the land of Five Flags has to offer. I’m sure your meet-up group gave you the dets on the area. Be good! Drive Safe!
This is exactly why we're following you
This is purely magic.
Your content is amazing.
Nice video!!!!
Dubuque is even more beautiful in person . The bluffs are awesome and the downtown looks so cool when you’re in it.
Great video. I've lived in Dubuque my whole life. I walk the Riverwalk most mornings between dropping my kids off at school and going to work. Thanks for sharing our city!
I live there as well. The best small city ever
Me too
Is Dubuque safe for minorities?
Love the view of the locks. The pricing on the campground was very reasonable. Nice job.
Thanks for showing us around the Dubuque area! Loved seeing all the towns you visited!
Lots of familiar sights. Brings back memories of our old stomping grounds.
This vid just randomly came up on my feed today and it made me laugh. I live in Dubuque. Its always interesting to see it from a visitor's perspective.
I learn so much traveling with you. I enjoy your videos and the dialogue that you give to go along with the videos. I also enjoy our cooking lessons when you give them. Thanks for sharing all you do. Marie from South Carolina
. God bless!
Hey Robert! Dubuque looks so interesting! Who knew? Lots of cool views, houses, and Key West?!? Loved the ride, as usual. You’ve inspired me to learn more about the Mississippi River.
Great episode of “my neck of the woods” Robert! FYI, Hwy 35 between Prairie du Chien and La Crosse would’ve been an awesome addition to this video. Maybe next time you’re in the area! 😉
My 2 1/2 year old grandson is demanding we get him a camper he sings your song and immediately asks to see Robert when he walks in door. He loves vehicles 🚗 and is essentially in love with the Mini Tinies and your truck! He says I go Roberts Truck 🛻 so cute. Love your channel. I think it’s educational so I let him watch as much as he wants. He notices wild life and different terrain then he’s seen in New England. He says 🌵 cactus now and has never seen one in person yet!
Love all your vids and travels! We’ve been watching some of your older vids of places we’ve been. Just the best!
A favorite local brewery beer of mine is Huber Bock. I had a tavern in Dyersville in the early 80's when that Dubuque brewery was still running. These were just old local breweries long established before the current micro brewery craze got started.
My ancestor came to Galena, IL to provide cattle for the lead miners back in 1837 before going to Dubuque, IA to live for several years. My Great Great Grandmother was born in 1837 in Dubuque, IA. Thanks for sharing the views Robert! I have watched your UA-cam adventures from FL to AZ and all over!
So beautiful,My God,I had no idea how lovely,Thanks Robert and Elli
Very beautiful! You just don't expect to find scenery like this Iowa. Always fun to join you on your travels! CHEERS!
Great video 👍 thanks for sharing this with us. I love seeing the little town and view.
🙌 Sunday has begun woohoo!! Thank you for this awesome-as-ever video... Happy travels! ✌ 💘 🍻
"I forgot my hiking shoes..." Where have I heard that before? Ha! :-)
I camped on the bluffs overlooking the river years ago a bit further north at Pikes Peak State Park. That whole area along the Mississippi is well worth a visit. Thanks for taking us along for the ride again. Happy Trails!
what a nice relaxed atmosphere. It feels like vacation!
Its a nice place to live.
We keep our hiking shoes in our truck so if we come upon a trail all we have to do is change shoes. Great video Robert
Excellent presentation. I'll be in that area in 2 months. Looking forward to exploring. This definitely whetted my appetite!
Ah, Potosi, my hometown. I remember the days before the brewery, and when the St. John’s lead mine was the main attraction.
A relaxing trip on a Sunday morning. One of these days you'll remember to wear your 'hiking shoes'. LOL Continue to have fun and always be safe, my friend.
Another beautiful video, Robert. Thank you!!!
Thank you for the lovely video Robert. Enjoyed seeing the places and the Mississippi always reminds me of Mark Twain and his wonderful stories. I appreciate your effort in putting together these videos for us. Take care and have fun🤣😝😜
The potosi brewery is also a harvest host. Nice place to stay. Check out the House on the Rock next time you are in the area.
Thank you for your video. I live in Dubuque Iowa and excited watching this..
Never change the core music of your channel, it creats just the right feeling😁
I love all your videos. I have a vicarious feeling of going with you on your trips!!! You’re fantastic!
Amazing video Robert. I’m from Dubuque and have some good memories of the place. Streets are kind of weird there! Lot’s of one way streets.
This my first time watching your videos. Great stuff! I’ll be back for sure!
Im a Dubuque native born and raised. Cool to see a rare video on my home, glad you liked it.
I enjoy all of your videos but I especially enjoy the locations that are less publicized. The scenery is great and less bustle is refreshing. I am bias as a midwesterner but Florida transplant. Look forward to the next adventure!
Great Video Robert, very nice destinations
I grew up in Dubuque. We used to walk into Horse shoe canyon and free climb the bluffs to get to the other side.
I used to wrk for Hirshback trucking based in Debuque. Spent a lot of time there. It is a really cool town. Thanks for showing more
Awesome video! I was in the same campground and visiting the same places last week! It amazed me how not flat the area was around there, until you head west to see Field of Dreams. Even then, the rolling hills were fun to watch while driving down the road. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
My old stomping grounds!! WELCOME to “THE DRIFTLESS” …in local terminology. The bluffs and the area in this part of the US were not covered by ice sheets in the last several glaciation periods. This is a unique geological feature of the country that remains off the radar of many travelers. Trailers in tow around here can experience 7%+ hill grades, so be advised.
POTOSI = You didn’t feature the natural cliff CAVE cooler they have, or the fairly extensive National Breweriana Museum they have in Potosi. I also believe they are a Harvest Host establishment. Worth the side-road trip!!!
If you plan your visit in the Fall, the foliage will satisfy your Leaf-peeping soul!
Next year, around WNR time, let us take you on an IPA tour around Des Moines! There are several breweries, some even have great kitchens attached! 😄
Very good Robert, once again!
Visiting places are very beautiful, nice views. Very enjoyable stream, thanks.
Can't wait to see your highlights of our town, Des Moines
I love your videos!!! Waiting for the next one! ❤️
Bravo!! Nice one Rob!!
Thanks for a great video! This past summer my friend and I rode our motorcycles to Nelson Dewey State Park which is just north of Petosi. We camped there a few days and took day trips around the area. We’ve done this quite a few times as I live in central, IL and he lives in Minneapolis, it’s almost perfectly half way between us. Great area and the ride north along the river to LaCrosse is spectacular!
That homemade bread on your sandwich from Pitosi brewing looked heavenly!
Thanks for another awesome video ! Love your music as well !!
My Sunday routine
Love it
Robert
Never thought of Dubuque as a destination. Pretty place. ❤
Great video! I have always wanted to go to Galena. I can’t wait to see your Omaha video. I hope you enjoyed our city.
Galena is a beautiful town there’s so much to do .. chestnut mountain, horse riding, the museums, the hills of Galena , the wine cellars outside Galena, the waterfalls, the oldest house and buildings, the brick streets, the overlooking staircase- their food ,the candy popcorn and ice cream shops are a must .. you need to go back
I do.
Ok I'm back you still rolling new amazing views
Happy Sunday Robert.. :)
.. So LOVED This Video Of The Misadventures of *Micro* Minnie In Some Wonderful, Majestic States!! Thanks, as Always for Sharing. Blessings to You Both, Hola from TeXas ~Laurie Ann
Watching from Trinidad n Tobago, always great content. Thanks for sharing. Great travel inspiration.
Can't start Sunday morning without my weekly fix.☕
Thank you for another great video!
Greetings from Clearwater Florida I didn’t get to watch your video on Sunday because I just had a 40th high school reunion . Catching up with my coffee on Monday morning.
Awesome , Thanks Robert
how fun, my parents used to take us to Galena every summer, my mom loved it there, Galena is like the getaway for us Chicagoans, Dubuque too 🙂
Never thought these places would ever get love on youtube. One of my go to areas on a motorcycle from Chicago. the roads in SE Wisconsin are gorgeous and curvy. Just pick any county road named after a letter!.
Welcome! This is so cool :) you’re in my town
Beautiful. Thank you💗
fun fact about potosi/tennison,back in the 80s there was once 7 bars between the 2 towns there,the reason i know this im from cassville wi,18 miles from there,i used to go to potosi back then
Grew up in Dubuque IA. Still call it home. I live in Dyersville IA. Right next to the Field of Dreams! Is This Heaven! Enjoyed your video!
Dubuque is a very cool town, Galena is my favorite small town in Illinois, it was a nice weekend getaway from Chicago
Well done, Subscribed and Liked. Your layout and videos are amazing!
Thanks to your video we just discovered some new places up in that area.. we always go to Galena, only went to Dubuque on one trip to do a river boat ride then went right back to Galena. You really need to go back and spend more time in Galena ! Sad you didn’t get to try any food there, so many amazing restaurants!
Galena is know for the giant gates that could seal off the downtown if the River flooded. I guess inoperative now they still are present as you enter. I think you can see one at the 33:01 mark on the right?
Thank you for mentioning Tri states, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.
OSHA compliant! 😂 beautiful area, I’ve only been in the winter. Thank you!
great job
Dear Robert
Thank you for being an amazing person in your love of traveling and discovering places and things
With an extraordinary ability to convey your experience
to me.
..I also travel a lot and increase my trips as well
Admittedly not in your dimensions
I enjoy every second of every movie and film of yours
Thank you so much for that
IL
The Inclined Plane in Johnstown, PA has it beat.
There is a small town just south of there called Bellevue that is beautiful in the spring time!
I like your beach boysesque theme song.
Hiker trick, always wear your hiking shoes that way you will never forget them. : - )
Sorry nobody pointed out Vinny Vanucci's Italian restaurant while you were in Galena. I stop there when I travel through the area.
Great Video Keep them coming Robert be safe great meet you and wife
Great video
Visited that area in 2016. Sinsinawa Mound Center, WI and the Dominican Sisters would have been a good visit for you. Continue!
Thanks for the video.
Like your music ... big fan from Thailand.
I love your videos. Do you know this video is listed as “unlisted’? I’m so happy that I was able to find it.
The mines of Spain is south of Dubuque. Going towards the dam and past along side Wisconsin is north.
Dubuque is one of the prettiest city’s ever went to college there
Hello Traveling Robert😊😊🎸🎸🎵🎵, Dubuque is a very nice interesting city. Really cool that you drove over the Mississippi River several times and explored the river. Galena seems like a great town. So Des Moines and Omaha are next stops? Des Moines is a great city to explore and Omaha is a great city with so much to explore. There is a pedestrian bridge that takes you over the Missouri River from Council Bluffs, Iowa to Omaha( over vise versa ). I really enjoyed that walk. There are MANY EXCELLENT restaurants to explore and indulge in Downtown Omaha... So much to see Robert. Also, there is a HUGE Zoo and botanical garden to check out. Omaha is an AWESOME city! If you continue west to Kearney I would highly recommend a visit to the Archway Monument, which spans across I-80 and is part of the Oregon Trail route...so much history there and the Archway Monument will show you about the history of the Oregon Trail. Great video Robert! Looking forward to seeing what's next👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
