[0:21] not a good place this thing tell me

[0:23] we're at the

[0:26] border so that little town there

[0:30] it's either a Missouri or Kansas town I

[0:34] guess people driving like lunatics

[0:37] whenever I take a corner and come

[0:39] speeding around me and TR to get around

[0:44] me a couple times they came within

[0:46] inches of hitting a car in incoming

[0:50] traffic cuz they're idiots we have now

[0:53] reached Kansas

[0:56] yay from my point of view it's not my

[0:58] problem people need to learn to be more

[1:00] patient they're not even that far in

[1:01] front of me I can see them all here

[1:04] comes another one you

[1:08] guys you need to learn to be more

[1:10] patient because you're just putting your

[1:12] own life and other people's lives in

[1:14] danger I'm coming traffic nearly had an

[1:19] accident all because you're so addicted

[1:22] to your phones and your digital lives

[1:25] that your brains are just scrambled to

[1:28] the point where you

[1:32] you can't take two or three more minutes

[1:33] to guess somewhere it's

[1:36] stupid very cool the nature changed

[1:39] almost

[1:41] immediately lots of wheat fields or corn

[1:43] fields or whatever those

[1:45] on wonder if they're good because like I

[1:49] don't know they look like the sun

[1:51] has got a number on them but I don't

[1:54] know don't know how that

[1:56] works very freaking cool though

[2:01] I don't know what those are but they're

[2:02] pretty cool to

[2:03] me pretty cool no idea what they are it

[2:08] says it's on a Main Street somewhere

[2:10] here I don't know what town I'm in

[2:12] Neosho

[2:13] County

[2:15] tid something Association

[2:19] it's it's got some weird stuff on the

[2:22] top of it satellit something shaped like

[2:24] a star but it's out of made out of

[2:26] metal it's amazing I don't know what

[2:29] that is is that is a cool

[2:32] building got an ancient oh look at what

[2:34] we got over here we got some big giant

[2:38] like Silo thingies whatever those are

[2:42] very

[2:43] cool absolutely loving this place so

[2:47] freaking

[2:48] cool lots and lots of Open

[2:52] Fields as soon as I got here it felt

[2:55] like I was in Kansas

[2:57] somehow I though I don't really know

[3:00] much about this place just this felt

[3:02] like Kansas farm equipment seeing that

[3:06] all over the

[3:08] place there something about the

[3:11] vibe that is an awesome tree that tree

[3:15] is amazing I saw a way cooler one though

[3:17] looked like a giant bonsai tree I got to

[3:19] find out what that was it was all

[3:21] fractal shaped it was amazing pretty

[3:26] flowers locked and lot of them they're

[3:28] everywhere

[3:30] wonder what those are

[3:33] called long stretches of open

[3:37] Highway um with with hills lots of hills

[3:40] those Hills are eating up my gas mileage

[3:43] so I'm very curious what the mountainous

[3:45] regions will be

[3:47] like and lots and lots of fields of

[3:52] course plenty of

[3:55] trees Wide Open Sky beautiful blues and

[3:59] clouds it's very

[4:03] nice this is

[4:06] why I do this I don't want to be stuck

[4:10] in a

[4:11] house such a stagnant way to

[4:14] live

[4:17] oh that guy just passed me and a bunch

[4:19] of stuff came out of this truck here

[4:22] comes another one people are so

[4:24] impatient it is just unreal to me

[4:26] absolutely unreal I'm going 55 relax

[4:32] people definitely feels like

[4:36] Kansas all right so I

[4:42] just when you're stuck in a house or a

[4:45] traditional life the relationships you

[4:48] have and I'm not just talking about with

[4:50] people if you understand me at all yet

[4:54] everything is a relationship to

[4:56] everything else I've been thinking about

[4:58] this in

[5:00] when I'm when you have a traditional

[5:03] life things become kind of a into they

[5:06] become Static patterns

[5:10] that just not conducive to a good

[5:17] life I would never want to live that

[5:19] life check out the dump stations here in

[5:23] canas those are pretty cool they've even

[5:26] colorcoded them very neat

[5:30] I am not sure where my campsite is

[5:32] there's a whole bunch of campgrounds in

[5:34] another state park just like the one I

[5:36] was at and I don't know which one is why

[5:39] there was no one at the gate so just

[5:41] looking around mey chilling right there

[5:45] with me very cool I swear there's always

[5:49] something right the

[5:51] svine something's leak like there's two

[5:54] different things

[5:56] leaking but if I come down here

[6:00] I could see that this pipe saking

[6:02] whatever that

[6:03] is I don't see anything going on over

[6:06] here but this hard to

[6:08] see maybe if I put my camera up here

[6:11] I'll get a

[6:16] look I'll seal that or

[6:20] something I'm curious what it goes to I

[6:23] mean obviously I think it's water have

[6:26] my water hooked up

[6:31] um multiple

[6:36] hoses so yeah I'm going to have to learn

[6:40] what these are and how to fix them

[6:46] properly life of a

[6:49] nomad my GPS sent me down a dirt road

[6:52] right as I got to the park it was the

[6:54] wrong

[6:55] way got lucky it was a turned around I

[6:59] got my Jeep very dirty dirt road means

[7:02] lots of

[7:03] dust it's dusted

[7:09] now she's going to need a car wash

[7:15] Brian um when I got fuel today I noticed

[7:19] there was a truck car wash there the

[7:21] truck's T and I learned about those from

[7:24] AI just the other day so I'm going to do

[7:27] that soon too I think

[7:30] I'm just somewhere along the way if I

[7:32] find a pilot or something that has those

[7:34] wash the RV get my Jeep

[7:40] washed it's a big

[7:43] Park it's difficult to find my

[7:45] particular Loop which they call a

[7:47] campground I find that so weird but I

[7:50] guess I'll get used to that

[7:52] lingo

[7:55] um bit misleading because the picture of

[7:58] my site had I had a lake in the

[8:01] background there's no Lake here um

[8:03] there's a lake somewhere but it's not

[8:06] here bit

[8:09] misleading but it was a pull through

[8:11] site I was happy about that cuz I really

[8:13] didn't want to deal

[8:15] with

[8:16] um having to detach my Jeep in the road

[8:19] and all of that stuff before you can

[8:22] even like put your RV in your

[8:24] spot it's nice when you can just pull in

[8:27] get everything hooked out take your Jeep

[8:29] unhook it Jeep and just do your you

[8:33] know day and a half we're here it's like

[8:36] 90 something so

[8:39] hot insufferable weather and it's

[8:43] midt I don't know if that's normal I

[8:45] guess it probably

[8:46] is looking forward to October that's for

[8:50] sure and I have neighbors of course

[8:54] these are not bad sites

[8:57] they're um pretty nice I like the way

[9:01] they like they've got a bunch of bushes

[9:03] between us and everyone else that's

[9:06] that's smart our park should do

[9:24] that so AI tells me that's flexible

[9:27] tubing and that there's probably a

[9:29] electrical wires and or my water pipes

[9:33] and I'll have to cut that little piece

[9:34] that's broken then inspect it and

[9:37] there's different ways of sealing it so

[9:39] I knew this would be a Shakedown trip

[9:41] you know here to the Pacific Northwest

[9:43] things are going to happen and I'm going

[9:45] to learn some new skills so you know

[9:47] what I'm doing

[9:49] tomorrow I wonder how long this will

[9:51] take um feel like there's two spots

[9:54] though I don't know how I

[9:56] would I don't know I got to think about

[9:58] it I would think about it on on video

[10:01] with you but you guys always

[10:02] misunderstand that

[10:04] so

[10:05] yeah so we're here in

[10:08] Kansas um Friday and then Sunday two

[10:13] different campgrounds heading west

[10:15] through

[10:16] Kansas then Tuesday I'll be in Nebraska

[10:21] tonight I'm just going to work on my RV

[10:23] on the inside there's some organizing

[10:25] and um just some stuff like that I want

[10:29] want to get

[10:30] done and tomorrow I might work on that

[10:33] um water issue I'm not too worried about

[10:36] it yet but I will deal with it so we'll

[10:39] see I don't know yet ba just crying out

[10:42] his frustrations

[10:44] because he wants to go and explore and

[10:47] he knows he

[10:49] can't but at least he's outside with me

[10:52] he will learn you will learn Bailey
