    "PONY EXPRESS" We stayed here 2 years ago and plan on going back in June on my way out to the 2024 West Coast HDT Rally. Down the hill from your site were the big rig sites. The lady that runs the place had just had 4 spots leveled and paved with 50AMP. FYI the food here is great. FYI Hamilton Missouri is the capital of Quilting. Home of the Missouri Star Company.

    Loved the lake reflection @ 3:40 on your camper…that is calendar worthy! Stopped the video to take a long look. Our 3 daughters all married farmers and so the farming segment looks beautifully familiar to us here in mid Canada. PS our daughters all had a huge learning curve being farmers wives but they have adjusted so well. They had each to cry with when needed in the early stages 😅 a beautiful family you have! 🇨🇦 ❤

    Great drone footage of the harvesting. I knew about silage since there are so many dairy farms in central California, but I'd never watched them harvest it. Very interesting.

      Ok, so you're very familiar with it but had never seen it from that view. I was amazed when I shot that with the choreography required to efficiently cut it and transport it. Thanks

    Interesting, but was curious about the beginnings of Orian. How you decided you needed something so big vs a Class A, how you picked him out, etc.

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  2 місяці тому +1

      We looked at Class A's, but a 5th wheel seemed more like a home. Safety was a factor so a semi-truck is definitely safer than a motorhome. Plus an HDT will last longer than a pickup truck needing fewer repairs since they are designed for the miles with a load. It's not an easy way to RV but we enjoy it. Thanks for watching the channel

    Enjoyed the travels through Kansas. We are Kansas City natives and recognized the highways signs. Went to Hutch and recommend Strataca the salt mine. While you were traveling to your family reunion Darlene commented excitedly I know that road! If you would have rolled a little further southwest you would have been in my family’s farm country, Pratt, Iuka and Byers. Enjoyed the farm sequences. The size of farm operations and equipment is just over the top. My family are corn farmers of about 2500 acres of irrigated corn.
