After almost six days boondocking in the desert, I was ready for some full hookups and a long shower, so I checked into an RV park in the Phoenix suburb of Goodyear. Join me for two days of breweries, saloons, butte climbs, and tacos in Tempe, Scottsdale and Apache Junction. We also drive the Apache Trail to Tortilla Flat.

    When I was getting ready for culinary school I was in Apache JUNCTION and Scottsdale area. I loved that area. Your videos are top of the line. I've found none any better. That was your calling. Thank you. You make your audience feel like they are there.
  • @hallorican
    I am addicted to your videos. Can't get enough of your eloquent narration and your humor. Thank you, so much. I cant express how much, I appreciate you taking us on your adventures. ❤
  • @halea41
    Only Robert can make a travel video of the exact same locations and make you watch it again as if you’ve never seen them before. 👏
  • Your videos are always good.....but this one was exceptional. Done in your signature 'travel vlog' format ....accompanied by your irresistible music 🎼🎵 doesn't get much better on a Sunday morning! This is what Robert is all about ....so entertaining! 🙌 The best of the desert 🌵 🌞
  • Wonderful video as usual! I now find myself watching these videos to de-stress and to just have an enjoyable watching experience as I learn about so many places around the country! Thank you Robert for making these!
  • @garymckee4342
    Hi from Toronto Robert. As someone who’s enjoyed Arizona on many trips over more than 60 years, it’s pleasurable seeing many of the places once again. I always enjoy your straightforward, honest reports that don’t sugarcoat anything. Don’t change.
  • @Randallhenry_
    I love it! She finally got in front of the camera!!!!
  • @impactnojoy
    You made my Sunday even better thanks Robert!
  • @MICHELLE-gu2qc
    Arizona is a very pretty location. Stunning scenery. Thank you for your hard work and sharing Robert
  • @missiesmith949
    I was born, raised in Phoenix. Thank you for reminding me how fantastic my home is and how special. Forever a desert rat zoni!
  • I had to laugh at..."My picnic table is waiting next to me neighbor's sewer, Oh Joy". How many times most of us have uttered that sentiment! Great video as always!
  • @clarashoe9504
    1. Welcom back to civilization. 2. You sound like a D.J. at a jazz station. We had one in Tampa, I miss it. 3. Glad Ili is joining you. I can't wait until my husband retires. 4. Folks from Florida are not used to high elevation,be careful.
  • @certoglenn4840
    Stunning is not a word I use very often, but you have some stunning images in this video, Robert. I stopped and backed up to 25:00 for a second look at the S-curve going into the gorgeous, sunset-covered landscape. Muy bueno!
  • @hkweli
    Thanks for your channel. I really enjoy your videos and commentary. Sunday evenings and days off are spent relaxing with a Guinness and watching your videos.
  • @donjones1124
    You crack me up! "My pick-nick table is right next to my neighbors sewage." LOL
  • @scothorne8448
    Gooooood morning Robert! The video was great as usual. We enjoyed it a lot. You truly had many adventures out West. Thanks for taking us with you. Have a great day, and your mystery box should be at your post office box by Tuesday. Fly pelican, fly! 🌴😎👍
  • @johnbirks6124
    Amazing scenery, but those last 5 minutes are just so awesome.
  • @jaybee608
    Just found you. This vlog is very entertaining and your camera is crystal clear. Love your voice too! Thanks!
