Welcome to Arizona Robert and family! I moved to northern Arizona from Chicago 11 years ago! I have 0 regrets! The beauty of The Southwest is endless! Enjoy!🎉
I moved out when it became California east
@@dmxdmx9743az or chicago?
11 years it was dirt cheap. Now it's super expensive.
Northern Arizona is very different than south Arizona.
@wethepeople3688 it is. There is similarities, espespecially near golden valley.
I absolutely love the Golden Valley area!
What an awesome fun ride.
CONGRATULATIONS 🍾 on your new digs. That’s so exciting. Can’t wait to see how it’s developed. ❤
Robert! Congrats on your new property for Pelicamp West! Very excited for you and Illy. Hope to see you on the road somewhere real soon!
“Such a fine sight to see” -Glen Frey
Congratulations on becoming a western land owner.
Go west young man!
Congratulations Robert on Pelicamp West. You made a great choice! My husband and I watch your videos every week for years.❤
We dont have enough water for ourselves, and people keep coming. Good luck pal.
Congratulations and it's good to have wonderful people like you and your wife moving into our beautiful state of Arizona!
Because Arizona is a beautiful state.
Lived in Az all my life and for Mother’s Day I took my mom and dad to Tombstone for the weekend. We never been before. I’m 48. Good times.
Congratulations on Pelicamp West! I’m so excited for you guys and what this means for your extended Western travels! To be so close to Las Vegas, Los Angeles and all of the west coast is so exciting! And to be right near the heart of Route 66 is the cherry on top! Thanks for bringing us along!
After watching all your videos through the years I also thought Arizona is one of the most beautiful places in the United states. So carry on! Robert!
I retired in Arizona from California. Everyone thought that I would head to Florida since I am Cuban but love the desert. You will have a friend here 😊
Happy Mother's Day to the Moms in your family!!🌺🌺💐💐🌹🌹🍷☕🤗🤗
Congratulations! Exciting times ahead at Pelicamp West - can't wait to see what you do with it.
Happy Mother's Day to Illy 🌷🌺💗
that looks like a beautiful spot for Pelicamp West. Looking forward to watching your development of the site. Continued safe travels....
Robert, ive missed you.
So happy to see you back!
Welcome to the SW America!! We desert rats are good folks for the most part. I’m excited you found your place for the west camp!! It’s a good one! Love the mountains in the area. Hope it becomes a great place for you and Illy!
My navy husband and I retired to southern AZ about 70 mi so of tucson. Been here over 30 years. Love it, yes these beach people loves the 🏜. Even after my husband died I stayed.
Out of all the choices you showed, location wise it's perfect. Close to Vegas, close to beautiful nature, close to the interstate, close to a good sized town for necessities. Pelicamp west is going to be awesome
Robert - I watched this video with my wife. When you talked about the parking spot you got in Winslow, we both burst out laughing! We did a cross country trip from our home in Port Saint Lucie, FL in spring 2023 and parked in the EXACT SAME SPOT!!! We also stopped at Meteor Crater and actually spent a night at Twin Arrows. Best wishes for Pelicamp West!
Your channel is great! Great conversational narration, wonderful music and excellent camera work. The content is still fresh and engaging and getting better all the time. Especially now with Pelicamp West, we will get to see more of the West. Thank you taking us on your adventures. Congratulations on your big purchase. I think it was the best choice, too.
Iam real excited about Pelicamp West. Been enjoying your content for a few years now. You have so many Adventures. We will be hitting the road real soon, I hope someday are Paths Crossed. I will by ya a Beer and enjoy your stories.
Whoohoo!! I've been waiting for this episode ever since you mentioned you were interested in Arizona! Thanks for taking us around with you and sharing your thoughts about each place. Looking for a place to live or invest in is not a light decision. Glad you found your Pelicamp West! Congratulations!
Howdy howdy Robert from Indiana.
C O N G R A T S 🎉 it seems like a perfect place for Pelican West.
ENJOY. Take care & Safe travels.
I agree, the camera does not do the Grand Canyon justice. You really have to be there in person to capture the feeling of absolute grandeur! Definitely one of my top 3 parks!
Congratulations, I think. Time will tell. Building is an adventure, that's for sure.
But when it comes to location you are definitely in a good spot to travel from there. Enjoy it❤
Congratulations Robert! My husband and I bought a house in Goodyear ten years ago. We drive down now every fall from Niagara Falls Canada. We love the drive and your videos bring back good memories. Enjoy your land!
Great choice Robert! Golden Valley seems perfect for a winter base.Standing between L.A and Phoenix,near Las Vegas,surrounded by so many National Parks,Forest,Monuments and a few hours away from the west coast.Congratulations and greetings from Greece!
Congratulations on the purchase of Pelicamp West
Mr. Robert and Ms. Ily. Even though I'm in SoCal please allow me to say welcome neighbors...
…And your own personal desert sunsets await! Besides finding a little piece of the West to call your own, and the great little flashback to ‘Old Kia’, this video features the number one thing on my bucket list…The Grand Canyon (maybe next year)! The late day’s lighting there actually turned out fantastic, and whatever you’ve adjusted or changed in your A/V setup, has made a noticeable improvement in the quality of your videos. Thanks for taking the time to continually improve and invest in your stories. It’s so worth it!
If you get to see the Grand Canyon, be sure to take the trip up onto the Kaibab Plateau to visit the North Rim. The South Rim is stunning; the North Rim is breathtaking.
I worked in Arizona loading trucks with boxes of lettuce ! I loved southwestern AZ Parker Yuma, winter dosent come to this area and not far from my favorite place on earth San Diego
Congratulations Robert! Golden Valley is lucky to have you guys in their community. I’ve been singing driving to the west and riding in my RV to my kids and grandkids for all these years…it feels like I really know you. God bless your family!❤TNNana
Can't wait to see what you do with Pelicamp West!
The more bare around your living area the better. Does not take long before mice and pack rats become an issue, Congrats on your land. That is exciting!
Good morning Robert. Congrats on ur new Pelican camp West looking forward of seeing it. l enjoy your video. l love when u visit Bedrock area and the animals were peeping at hole. That was funny and they seem to like them being filmed. Arizona was beautiful and mountains were awesome to see. it was a fun video. Happy Mother's Day .
Congratulations on your Arizona land purchase ! Sounds Wonderful !
Congrats! Here's to smooth sailing as you develop the site for your needs!
Hi Robert. G.V. is a great choice. I moved to Kingman 4 years ago after a lifetime in SoCal and love it here. Sure, it takes some time to adapt to high desert life but its the perfect home base for RV'ers.
gooooodddd moorrrrrninnnngg mr Robert.
Excellent video 📹!
Hello Traveling Robert. This was absolutely amazing. There are so many places to enjoy and that fact that your building land is awesome. I enjoyed every bit of this...especially checking out Winslow Arizona! I've known this area before visiting The Grand Canyon. Thank you so much for this presentation.
Thanks for the tour of Pelizona 👍 Great corner spot
Congratulations on your purchase and Welcome to Arizona !!!
Welcome! We moved to Mesa AZ from Michigan in 2020 and glad we did! My studio with my Roland TD-17KVX awaits your presence to jam when ready😁!
I am THRILLED to see that Pelican West has landed in AZ! Congratulations 🎉! Nice choice good location and city water is a plus! (This is Mrs Max McLeieer). Hope to see you sometime. BTW I remember when you had the mishap in 2018. It was amazing how you got out of that predicament.
I have only been to the North rim. Thanks for sharing the south rim with us 👍
Congratulations Robert and Ily for acquiring Pelicamp West! God bless you!
I would love to assist with plant I.D.. Been a plant lover in AZ since 1977. Congratulations on Pelicamp West! Short cruise to so many fun places!
Congratulations Robert. You guys will be much happier in the north west corner than you will out east. I was biting my nails at the beginning of the video.
LOVE The Flintstones village! So much detail. AWESOME! 👍
How exciting !! Congrats to you and your family and enjoy many new memories to create in the beautiful state of Arizona, plus many beautiful sunrises and sunsets to experience ❤
@travelingRobert Hey now you should make a song,”Driving to the east,from Arizona,Driving to the east from Arizona.”
Hey Brother, did you ever put your sticker on that flatbed truck??? I didn't "see you" do it - but that doesn't mean that you didn't do it either. Anyways, it's always fun to watch and celebrate your travels, and I'm still praying for you to find "the perfect ~ West Basecamp" for you. Blessings Bro.🙏 Stay Safe! Edit: Congratulations!🎉 btw, who in the world would write a comment before watching the whole video to completion? My Goodness!!!
Very nice 👍
Bedrock was adorable! Such attention to details.
Rob, this view of the Gran Canion (Cañón Grande) is craaazy beautiful! Thank you for sharing this experience with us all! Cheers from Puerto Rico!
+1 for planting a nice Joshua tree at Pelicamp West! :D
Rob don't apologize for the wind mother nature and you're funny i think what you're showing makes me laugh its good entertainment
Congrats!
As always Robert beautiful video especially the Grand Canyon. So excited to see the development of Pelicans West.
“Pelicamp” 😂
Love the comments everyone! Passed through Winslow last weekend. Didn't see the famous intersection, but I found the local hardware store. Glad to exit the interstate and see something different. Maybe next time I'll check out the Flat Bed Ford!
Happy Mother's Day🎉❤
Looks like a great choice, fine location! You can always plant a couple of trees. Best Wishes.
I think the property has a lot of potential. You can plant trees and shrubs and the biggest plus is city water, because down in the desert water can be a problem. I like the vibe of that area in comparison to the other places you looked at. Love the Mts and it is in a quiet location on a hill and not in the valley. Looks to be a good find!
Congratulations 🎊 on Pelican West Robert and Ily! 🎉
Congrats on the Arizona land purchase Robert I can't wait to see what your plans are for it. Pelicamp West-Pelicamp #2=Good times Robert :)
Congratulations on selecting a place for Pelicamp West! It seemed you had your heart set on the Kingman area already, which is probably the better choice. The Show Low/Springerville area is beautiful, but as you said, the rutted roads show the dirt roads would probably be impassable in wet weather. The ruts tell the story. That's the same mudstone as what's exposed at Petrified Forest NP. Slippery when wet from Monsoon Season rains! 😉
Looking forward to seeing your development of your new Pelicamp!
Safe travels, my friend!
I hit thumbs up right after breakfast was ready.
Congrats on the purchase Robert.🎉
I moved to New Mexico from Chicago 6 years ago while NM is gorgeous, Arizona is my favorite state 🌵🏜
I love Arizona, its the best of two worlds, mountain towns up north to desert floors to the south.
Love all yours videos! Thanks 👍🎉
I'm really enjoying this video. Golden Valley is your best pick for good roads, but big lands that I know of. South East corner for rains high elevation
Great video! Thank you! 😊
Congratulations on finding a spot in Golden Valley.
Robert, I've watched the video of the last time you were in that area a few times. And was pretty amazed when you took the detour off of I-40 . Why was I amazed? well that's because I did the exact same thing about 15 years ago, on that exact same road, after stopping at that same place near the old KOA, and kept going down the road, just like you did. Luckily I was not pulling an RV because I don't know if I could have gotten out of there like you did. That was some clever driving on your part! So to see you do the same thing was pretty funny. When I first watched you start down that road, I was yelling out loud, "nooooo, turn around"
Your video inspires me to return once again. First visited nearly 50 years ago, last visited with my daughter in 2017 by train from Williams. Yes, we did get reservations at El Tovar and worth the effort. We got to see the Hopi girls perform and a wonderful exhibition of the hoop dance at the stage in front of the Hopi House. Got to go, one more time!
Congrats on Pelicamp West!
Also just a quick side note...there is actually a third Wigwam Motel still in operation in Cave City, KY.
When you were driving on the bad part of Route 66. I bet the people driving on I40 were thinking what is that guy doing? 😊
You can't be that close to The Grand Canyon and NOT stop!!!
Very nice, congrats on Pelicamp West! Arizona is gorgeous. I look forward to seeing how you develop it.
Hey Robert.. Another great video. All I could do was LMAO when you were stuck and bumping the fences.
I envisioned you as Austin Powers in the golf cart stuck in that tunnel hallway bouncing off the walls.
Thanks for the Great Laugh..
Good luck on your journey to find land for a new home. Any of those UA-camrs would be great neighbors..
Congratulations!
Thanks for posting this video (well, thanks for all of them!). But I too have been thinking about spending some time in Arizona camping and perhaps buying and this helped alot!
Location wise you scored for what you do. Good choice. Our area is more for long term to full time with nothing close unless you like National Forest camping and hiking. Welcome to the west and exited to see what you do with the new place. CHEERS!!
Congratulations on the land purchase.
I'm really happy for you you sound excited
Arizona seems like a very friendly state for out of state residents. I may miss out on buying land by the time I can retire.
Welcome to AZ.......I have a camp in Dateland (outside Yuma) and love the desert and see more people realizing the life style-and cost savings. Best of luck Robert.
Never knew that spot was made famous by that Eagles song!
I am glad you like it, I myself am not a fan of the desert especially more bleak ones, But I know there are those who absolutely love it. I live in Portland Oregon and I'm camping at the moment in my Van conversion in Rainier so.
I do love the forest❤
Very good! Welcome to Arizona!! 😀😀
Great job
Smart guy - take plenty of time to check out lots of places in Arizona! There are many interesting areas to consider for Pelicamp West….
Really interesting to see all the details of your property search. There's actually another Wigwam Hotel left in Cave CIty, KY. Your first trip out west in Old Kia was my inspiration to start RVing.
I have to say it all the time, but the music is also a big part of me coming back to Traveling Robert’s videos! It is very comforting - I find myself singing the songs all the time ;) great great channel!
Driving to the west.......safe on the road ,, Robert ....
I was at the Grand Canyon watching the sunset from Yavapai point with my family that same day. It was cold and windy but beautiful.
Love AZ! OK, I am an aviation nerd, so AMARG in Tucson is holy land. But the entire state is so beauitiful!
