You two are so blessed to enjoy such a wonderfully close father/son relationship. I dont think they are so common and so it's very wonderful to see! God bless you and keep you safe in your travels!

[@ericnakamura3634]

Love the road trips with Pops!

[@ThroughMyLens]

I do too, so much fun!

[@SquakingOfTheCrows]

I think that even if the pandemic didn't happen, your videos would still become popular. They're so dang good in how they awaken something nostalgic in many of us that we miss now with the onset of how technology has been able to isolate people indoors more. No offense to the videos with your wife and kids but these ones with your Dad really go straight to the heart and are the most fun!

[@popshiking]

You are really kind! Thx for watching for the encouragement!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for the kind words! The videos with my dad really do connect with people and I love being able to see that connection, it is so cool

[@sarahko2014]

I love the road trips with Pops, but I've also really enjoyed some of your adventures with your wife, too!🍒 Thanks for sharing so many wonderful places with us who wish to travel more, too!🎶 My favorite thing about your vlogs is how positively you narrate, Josh~💯

[@wanderlust62]

I love the twins are developing memories of the trips they have been on. . . so far! Cherry Blossoms and glaciers, spot on! Too, cute. I love this Q&A embedded in your trips!

So cool to hear you love the videos. Thanks for watching them and I hope you have a fantastic trip to Utah and New Mexico!

[@David-fb8fn]

This was a fun video! I appreciated hearing about your takes and memories from among the different trips you have made.
It would be great to hear some more about your planning processes. Your trips are always interesting and it goes without saying they wouldn't be so without all your pre-planning.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Great suggestion, maybe I can dive deeper into that in a future video!

[@jonigarrett5546]

Your Route 66 video is how I found your channel. My family mostly travels via road trips. Your channel is my first stop when planning! I loved your answer to the souvenir question because we visited Roswell back in April and because of your video I to had to get my own wooden alien! Thank y'all so much for these videos and safe travels!!

I have been there many times and am still overwhelmed every visit. I always go back to the first time and think “this can’t be real!!”

[@slighwentwalking2024]

Route 66 was the 1st of your videos I saw.
Blue Ridge Parkway was among my favorites.
Seeing all those grizzly bears was scariest.

My college buddy got me into those and other bands. But I still love the Beatles and anything out of Motown!

[@SquakingOfTheCrows]

Hi Josh and Pops, at the risk of sounding sappy, I have to thank you both for posting these videos. The father-son ones (esp when you get out of California) are so comforting to me from the playful energy you both have, the stops you take (things like the Dr. Pepper museum, donut shops, etc.) and even the background music. I struggle with depression (so sometimes getting out is really hard outside of work), and I had a pretty traumatic Route 66 road trip experience with an abusive partner who made me feel bad for wanting to take fun sightseeing stops to take pics and explore. Your videos bring back memories of better roadtrips, and give me hope that maybe I too can one day have comforting, easy-going, playful roadtrips with a partner like y'all who are proof that not all dudes have toxic masculinity, and that some just like to have some good, old-fashioned, fun. :)

[@popshiking]

Wow that sounds really rough. Glad our trips can lighten things for you a bit. So encouraging to us for you to say that! My prayer is also that you can find a partner to share your love of travel with you!!

[@SquakingOfTheCrows]

​@@popshiking I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comment! Thank you so much for your encouragement & prayer! I will hold onto this. 🙏🏼 (BTW, I didn't know you had your own channel until now! It looks great, & I'm excited to have just subscribed. I'm a millennial but sense that all of your "Grey Hair Hiking Tips" will be more than applicable, fun, and inspiring for me too.)

[@ThroughMyLens]

So sorry to hear of your previous road trip, that is really sad to hear. I hope the videos do encourage you to get out on the road again and to make some better memories for sure

[@SquakingOfTheCrows]

Ok to serious stuff...I enjoy all your channels because you show me places I've been, but a new angle/look on them. You show me places I haven't been...and the video style and voice over stuff just makes it fun to watch and learn. Not gonna lie...I've been to a LOT of the places you've been to...haha.

I'm sure I will be rewatching all your Alaska videos many times before I head off. Appreciate all the travel tips and insights.

I've been watching you for the last 6 months or so. I always thought your Pop looked familiar. Since he says "hoagies" and cheesesteaks I assume he's from South Jersy. I was born and raised in Philly but have been living in the South Jersey burbs since the late 70s. I'm about your Pop's age and maybe a little older. In the early 00's I started taking an annual camping road trip out west with my adult son and later with my son-in-law. Great times and great memories. Keep up the good work!

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Wow! Didn’t realize that the pandemic made your channel blew up. Makes sense though. But I’ve been following you from well before that from a recommendation from a friend. Pops has not been to Lake Tahoe?! He totally needs to go with your mom or even the whole family. It’s very nice. My best friend lives at the foot of the kingbury grade going up to Tahoe. So much to see and do up there. I love the hot springs and pool in markleeville that’s not far from Tahoe, and frog lake for things outside of Tahoe that are my highlights. Road trips are so fun. I like being able to take my time and just stop wherever I feel like. I like to plan shorter day drives of four to six hours of driving and check out where I want to stop for gas and potty and food but keep those flexible. Smart to book motels that allow cancellation you can keep it fun and not just cranking out the miles. I google and Mapquest and yelp places along the way. And I ask people I know. I’ve found some great places that way. Found some great places to eat that way, like this obscure middle eastern hike in the wall place in grants pass. Or this great burger and shakes place in Klamath falls. Totally going back to them next time I’m going through. A friend in Ashland Oregon recommended this great sandwich shop off the beaten path so I would have never gone there if she hadn’t told me about it. And cat friendly since I travel with my cat. All outdoor dining so put her in her backpack and she was good to go

[@popshiking]

Not a hard hike and beautiful. The drive up there is lovely. It’s a place that PCT hikers jump off the trail to go into Tahoe. The lake is so beautiful and driver and hiker friendly. Lots of good food and historically interesting places. It’s a great end to a road trip up the 395 which is a terrific road trip.

[@skysurfer5cva]

+1 for Kansas and Merrills, Yosemite and Yellowstone. They're my favorites as well.
If you haven't yet been to the Black Hills/Devils Tower/Badlands NP area, you owe it yourself to go. The Black Hills has Mt. Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Monument (a work in progress), Wind Cave NP, Jewel Cave NM, Custer State Park, the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, Deadwood, Lead, etc. Rapid City has life-size statues of the US Presidents scattered about in a vibrant downtown and a wood stave church (Chapel in the Hills) that is an exact replica of the Borgund, Norway, stavekirke, which dates from the 12th century. But, wait, there's more....🙂

Dr. Pops and his camera man!

[@popshiking]

Hahaha! I’d embrace them at if it were true. More like Josh does everything and pops tries not to be too obnoxious!! But your comment is fun.

[@davidnewhouse9403]

@@popshikingI have to disagree Pops. You are the star. Josh just holds that camera. But he does a great job holding it.
Let me know if you guys are coming to EDC again next year. Me and the boys are exited to meet you there!

Haha 😂

I love your videos. Being able to have adventures with your dad is pretty cool.

[@popshiking]

Haha we have a good time. Thx for stopping by!

[@ThroughMyLens]

We have such a great time traveling!

[@palombadebra8207]

I agree with your dad. When you grow up on the east coast the sandwiches out west DO NOT compare. East coast grinders are the best 🎉

[@ThroughMyLens]

Haha makes sense, he needs to make a east coast sandwich video

Love your channel currently visiting Paris!

Hi Josh! This Q&A was great and I have a question about a trip you may or may not have done! Have you been to the Avenue of the Giants? Thanks for this video! I enjoyed seeing your whole family on this one!❤️😀🇺🇸

[@ThroughMyLens]

I have, here is a video I made 4 years ago on it ua-cam.com/video/30t_EsuGG60/v-deo.htmlsi=_qH7t2h6qjrcSt8J

[@voles9948]

Awesome Video. The last part is really going to help next time I plan vacations. I was shocked you only drive 9 hours at most while my driving days can be up to 16 hours.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Ya I feel like 9-10 hours is the most we can do consistently for a few days at a time

The Eagles are my favorite band 💗 my mom saw the Hell Freezes Over tour while she was pregnant with me lmao

[@ThroughMyLens]

No way, that is awesome!

[@Chetsalo]

Did you guys ever decided to actually do a RV travel tour & do the cooking yourself?
