Love the sound of the birds and the flowing of the river. Very peaceful
Headwaters are always amazing. Their humble beginnings. The Great River Road. Thanks!
Congrats Eric. You've raised the bar and set a new standard here. Beautiful pictures, excellent editing and an overall upbeat start of this journey. I didn't know what to expect after Route 66 and Lincoln Highway, but I'm hyped now! \o/ Thanks for sharing all of this, can't wait for the next episode. Love and *woohoo* from across the pond!
Beautiful! You're making me homesick.
Breathtaking! Thanks for this awesome video! 🍂🍁🍂
That was Awesome! I can't wait to see your new adventure. It was great at the end with no music, just the birds, very peaceful. Give Jax a hug for us!
Love the new theme. Great decision Eric.
That was a five star ending ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Oh and we did watch this video from our warm couch in our 1996 Class C with a warm cup of coffee..hahaha
Thank for showing us the beautiful nature and loved the plan of ur upcoming journey
I have been through all of those states and even lived there....didn't even know such a road existed. Thanks for another awesome journey!
Another epic journey...it's going to be amazing!
I was a hater but now I'm a big fan! Really glad that you will take us through the Mississippi, and I'm thankful for all the nature and corkiness that you showed since I subscribed! Keep on the good work Eric, I'm looking forward to every video, greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
The view is gorgeous

I'm excited!
Lost On Land Again: I love you Lady. Look what I wrote to justincredible.
Hey Justin. I love you man! So I can't stand by and watch you perish.😥
.
That earthquake is a warning from God. I'd take him seriously if I were you.
.
Because of the sexual imorality especially, God is wiping out the wicked in these last days.
.
Everyone sins but there are 7 deadly sins and you participate in a couple..
.
So because I care about you, I'm trying to warn you to take the escape. Even if nothing happens by natural disasters, we never know when our days will end for whatever reason.
.
The wise man fears God and turns from his sin.
The biggest sin is to think we can save ourselves and that there's no God who punishes the wicked.
.
Believe this and be saved.
We will all face judgement after death for every WORD, THOUGHT AND DEED EVER DONE WHILE ALIVE. Motives will be judged. Every secret and whisper will be uncovered. .
.
Sin must be punished. All sin.
Jesus took our punishment on the cross and went to hell for our sins.
Aquitting anyone who believes and passes on that news. But we can't receive that benefit unless we believe.
and until then , we are under God's wrath, awaiting death and then judgement when Jesus returns. Jesus exchanges our sin for his righteousness. it's a trade-off.
.
he became sin who knew no sin, so that we might become his righteousness.
.Pardoning the sin of anyone who believes..
This is AMAZING GRACE. THIS IS THE GOSPEL.
it's not about money. the churches are teaching lies about Jesus .
.
He didn't die on good Friday, nor did he rise on Sunday.
.
He died on Passover Wednesday and rose on Saturday afternoon/evening.
.
the Roman Catholic Church changed everything.😨
.
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath.
he died on a Wednesday Passover. The following day was called a high Sabbath and always follows Passover.. That high Sabbath is often mistaken for Saturday Sabbath. but they are 2 different days. Read Mark and Luke's account of Jesus crucifixion. That's the only way to prove this fact. However most church folk never read the Bible at home. They foolishly trust a man to read it to them as children in kindergarten. Jesus is coming soon to resurrect those who died believing in him. from Abel, the prophets and all that came after Jesus till now. That is called the first resurrection, when the dead in Christ and all who believed in his prophecies will rise from the dead. This is the first resurrection. This all happens AFTER THE "GREAT TRIBULATION".
.The RAPTURE happens that same day as a byproduct of that first resurrection.
.
The rapture follows the first resurrection.
.
The rapture is this:
the resurrection of the dead happens, then any Christians remaining alive from the tribulation will be changed into new bodies along with those who just rose from the dead.
.
The church teaches a lie about how the rapture taking place before the tribulation. BUT DON'T BELIEVE IT!
.
The tribulation is coming as soon as Israel is divided between the Jews and Muslims. Then all world nations combine under one leader. The Antichrist. AKA Satan in a man's body. He will deceive the whole world. all will worship him and receive his mark on the right hand and forehead as identification. AKA 666..
.
Why would anyone worship this man? Because he will have supernatural power of Satan to call down 🔥 fire from heaven. Some will believe he's 👽 alien. But of course Satan and demons are alien. To humans anyway. But really we all know him well because we humans act just like him.
.
But Jesus came to save us and make us just like himself.😃 Halleluyah!
.
we all need Jesus because Satan wants us to share his fate in hell. and he will offer us power and life but won't be able to give us a thing.
because he is the Father of all lies .
.
watch out for this man, the Antichrist. He will use "peace talk" to gain power, and will pretend to love everyone. The Jews will think he is their Messiah. But he won't be. And that's how he traps them and kills them.
.
Really He will hate everyone. He will hate all that is worshipped. And want all worship for himself because he Will Make world Peace. .
A fake peace. and the world will love him.
.
it's all in the Bible.
He will kill 90% of Christian people and kill most of the Jews. And the world will love him for it. .
. We Christians are the restraining force preventing him now. but will be taken out of the way by beheading.
.
Then the whole world will shout peace and safety.
.
Then while they are celebrating,, Jesus will return and the dead will rise and any Christians and remaining Jews left alive will be caught up in the air with new immortal bodies. We all meet Jesus in air together. One resurrection for all believers. We then float to Jerusalem to set up Jesus kingdom and everyone will see Jesus with us , coming in the clouds with all his saints. That's anyone from Abel till us.
.
the Antichrist is destroyed and all who took his mark and worshipped him will be thrown into the lake of fire. .
.
Read Revelation for details. read Matthew 24 and 1Thessalonians. and 2Thessalonians. These all talk about this same event.
.
In those days it will come to pass, That whoever calls on the name of Jesus will be saved.
.
Thanks to God! This is what life is all about. .
please read those things and believe...
it's better than starwars.🤔😃
Raptors vs Knicks
What a Gorgeous place!! Looking forward to this next adventure!! xoxox Jax
I actually like the nature shots with music. Gorgeous footage of the fall colors!
Excited for this trip. Love nature ending.
I sure am looking forward to this very exciting trip Eric. Stay safe out there.
Eric, your demeanor is even more happy and positive. The TV news and your MS river goal has your purpose defined and some security in your future I think? It makes for good episodes. Yes, I like the ending with some views...very serene. Your eyes look better also...keep up the good work !
Be safe, stay warm. Thanks for the video.
I've been from TN to mo on the great river road. Never been as north as you are or as far south as your going. Thanks for taking us along with you and Jax
Beautiful 🍂🍁🍂 hi from NW Minnesota! Itasca Headwaters is an overnight camping trip we do here for all the 6th graders every Spring in our school system. Have fun on the River Road Trip....😊
Hey Eric, not sure that you'll see this but my wife & I are long time veiwers though rarely comment. Just wanted to let you know that we plan on taking off on a Great River Road trip next week and we plan on re-watching your whole trip you did a couple years back. We're from central WI so roughly a 2 hr drive to hook up with the road. We plan on heading south on the west side and our hope is to come all the way back up on the East side to Bemidji and then back home. Always enjoy your videos!
Wow, thank you. That was such an epic trip! Enjoy!
Loved this video. You look so happy. Congratulations on all your new endeavors. 😎
This is going to be a very beautiful trip I am thinking. Daddy's clothes are always the best. No, you have it better than warm apple cider on the couch. You have all of the fresh air and all of the scenery at first sight.
Looking forward to this trip. Your videos keep getting better and better. Good job!
Nice ending ! Stay safe Eric !
Excited about this adventure, Eric. Excellent choice!
Looking forward to your journey! Fall is mighty beautiful up there.
Another Great New Adventure, Begins 🙂👍
Love the end shots! View along with the sound - perfect as always Eric
Looking forward to riding along! We are heading West ourselves, crossing the Mississippi in St. Louis. On our way to Palm Springs and Yuma. Thanks for inspiring us to adopt the full time RV life. Fair winds...
great meeting you today!!!
Thanks Eric I am from Minnesota and it sure brought back memories! Beautiful.. but I don’t miss the mosquitos,!
Slow pan fall colour shots. SWEET.
Great video. Have always enjoyed all your adventures and this one looks like fun.
Sound like an adventure!
Looking forward to this trip Eric, be safe and keep up the awesome work, congrads on the TV show
Loved the nature shot ending.
Bout time to leave the snow behind. Looking forward to the trip with you .
looking forward to your trip
Eric this trip is going to be epic ! I live in New Orleans, born and raised. Once you get into Louisiana you aren’t going to want to leave because of the food. Especially when you get into south Louisiana. Can’t wait to follow this trip. Be careful. The great river road in Louisiana is a two lane road up against the levees.
I did that trip a few years ago. Being from Louisiana I started from Venice, La. and traveled north to Itasca. I filled a Gallon jug of the Mississippi river water from Venice and then released it in Itasca to flow back down to Venice,La. Great trip. Ps. the water was a lot more muddy in Louisiana.
This looks like its going to be a great trip.
Still my favorite You tube channel!
Bemidji is nice during the summer. During the winter Bemidji is the most beautiful cities that I've ever seen. I lived in Brainerd for a winter in 2015. But they do up the whole town in Christmas lights and such.
Looking forward to this trip!
Haven’t seen the snow for awhile now that I’m in Florida. This is going to be an awesome trip 👍
Nice colors and music.
this is going to be awesome
This trip is very exciting! Would love to see a video on the “shanty boats” that travel and live on the river!
Nice job the nature piece at the end.
Been waiting for this! Can't wait until you stop at the next town 😉
#1 Good Morning, Eric. I was there at Lake Itasca, two years ago, but did not follow the Mississippi River. This is going to be fun.
Wow great shots. Great vlog.
Pretty views thanks. Be careful out there. Always good to see you and Jax😀 you really lucked out with the UA-cam tag who would've thought you would be able to get those. :-)
Would've thought Eric would show the plates on the RV
Wow!!! It looks waaay prettier than it does in st Louis!
It is so cool to actually see the head waters of the Mighty Mississippi, having lived in St Louis Mo. all my life. I've driven on a small part of the Great River Road. Beautiful colors of the trees and the sun shining on the water always reminds me of diamonds. Thanks for the video.
In the 80's spent 4 summer camps at Bemidji hockey school. We'd go to Paul Bunyan Land still looks the same.
This is gonna be great! Although I'm not sure we want to see any frozen Eric. I loved the nature shot ending.
Looking forward to you crossing into Arkansas, The 'Natural' state. Be safe!
Adventure on!!!
Great video...how could anyone not like it?
Awesome video, Eric.
Having been raised on the Mississippi River, this is one of my first FT bucket list items. (I also want to do the Missouri River from Montana)
Hey Eric, I wanted to thank you for showing me/us where the Mighty Mississippi River starts, I will say it's a first for me via UA-cam. I'm always interested in stuff like this. Kudos!! 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥
Let me hear that Great River Sounds all the way home !
I'm new here love your videos so many places you visit are so beautiful great work hope to see more videos
Eric you are the Charles Karault for you generation
This will be cool!
So exciting....our new adventure plus you mentioned Suzanne again. How’s your eyes?
Who is Suzanne?
Group up in La Crescent, MN along the route...Definitely head up around the bluffs around the La Crosse and La Crescent area. Winona, MN - head to Bloedow's bakery...you'll be very glad! Also, a cool place is Nauvoo, IL.
Great fall footage:)
Hey Eric,
*Hopefully* you threw a stick into the Mississippi River up there at the headwaters??
That way, you can *look for it* in the Gulf of Mexico, once you get all the way down there!!??
I'm *sure* you'll be able to find it!!
I think I missed you by about 1 week. 😢 I just made a quick road trip to Bemidji from the cities and little while back. Shortly after the snow melted. Oh well, one day I hope to run into you. 😁
Should be another great road trip. Check out some of the river baron mansions down in the southern states. This was the richest section of the country at one time.
First ! Hi Eric & Jax ! I love this new itinerary ! Thanks for the update, Let's go ! Cheers,
Roger.
speaking of hot apple cider...try this recipe: Gallon of apple cider, 1/2 gal apple juice, 3 cinnamon sticks, 5th (aka 750ml) of PGA, boil for an hour...have over ice or serve warm!! Tastes like candy! LOL! Cheers duder!
Yep, 70 degrees isn't necessarily going to get all the wonders of the world, like your choice for this journey Eric and Jax. May the wonders of the world follow or meet up with you from Mankato Thanks.....
This is going to be an epic vedio!!! You really know how to pick all the places. I was checking out your gear..do you use a light on your camera? "Safe travels" 🚐 🐱
I hope you stop to see some of the old plantations in Louisiana.
Well done, Looking forward to Wednesday morning. I think I will have some eggnog though. It is the season. Perfect camera work particularly with the drone. How often do you practice with it?
Nice video.
Beautiful campsite Eric. I think that fishes mouth looked like a safety hazard and potential lawsuit. One klutzy customer, one fall and someone's impaled on those fish teeth!
Nice!
LOVED the nature shots at the end. Could you end your videos like that? Please...
Get your ass in the river Eric .......... You know you want to !!
this is great eric... i'll be following you on google earth. favor: would you be willing to add occassional captions of location spots like that fish restaurant and lake where you camp? thank you - johann
I wonder if the hurricane sank the titanic in Panama City Beach? Did you ever tour the battleship in Mobile, Al?
