    Love your videos. Makes me miss my Dad and brings back wonderful memories of our trips together. He planned summer trips for our family for years while I was growing up… and he really appreciated going on trips I planned as an adult. These included a backpacking trip to Yellowstone, two Route 66 roadtrips, and hiking trip of the circuit of High Sierra camps in Yosemite as a retirement gift. Enjoy your times together!

    You would make an excellent teacher, or professor. ***You're so interesting, do thorough research, have EXPERIENCED what you share with us, and present info so well. Thank you, for your ALWAYS enjoyable videos, Josh and "Pops"...I hope that's okay.πŸ€žπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸƒπŸπŸ‚
  • Really helpful. We are travelling to Boston, Vermont and New Hampshire at the beginning of October, so your videos have been super informative. Thank you.

    I loved that video but I get all of the beautiful fall foliage I need here in Northern New Jersey. There are beautiful mountains here and in lower Ny state.
  • We were there about the same time you were, but in our small trailer. Our month or so in New England was one of our most expensive time periods in the last year and a half of full-timing. Campgrounds were pricey and I had a $22 glass of wine in Bar Harbor. Not even a nice glass and it was in a plastic cup 🀣 BUT fall there was magical! In New Hampshire we had a lakefront site and I was 100% mesmerized by the reflections of the trees. Just stunning! Bummer we didn’t run in to you somewhere! Fantastic video as always Josh.

    The Phone tip is priceless! Many mapping applications like Google maps and Apple Maps. Allow you to download an area and keep it off-line. I’m gonna make sure I do that before I get to New Hampshire. Thank you. Vs
  • I love the trips you and your dad take. You give all the in's and outs of traveling and make wonderful videos!!! Thank You for what you do!
  • Dude I swear, you are like the young & cool version of "Rick Steve's Europe" (but in America!) I totally enjoy the information you share about the places you go. Thank you for making your videos!

    You keep getting better & better! Thank you so much πŸ’“

    Very informative, great job, Josh. This trip is definitely on my bucket list. πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

    I was there a week before you and drove up to Mt Washington. I was surprised to see the the difference in climate between what you experienced and what my daughter and I experienced. Ours was sunny and not too cold. My daughter planned our trip which included the high points of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. I definitely want to return and do some of the things you did on your trip. Being from the Evergreen State, New England in the Fall is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. So beautiful.
  • Thanks for sharing these tips. After seeing the full video I've added it to the bucket list
  • @ronlandry1352
    Great travel tips . . . just might try to go this upcoming year! Many, many thanks! I always enjoy your travels . . . yes, I do!
  • @sharondam.5595
    Want multitudes of red trees? Machias area Maine β€œDowneast”! Completely dazzling!!! No lie. I have lived in N.E., Mass., all of my life, seen many areas in autumn, and never anything to match it. #1 GORGEOUS. You’ll never forget it.
  • One tip. i always go into Google Maps and download the area I'm traveling to for offline use. As long as you have GPS reception (which should be always) you can search for locations and get directions.
  • @catamax100
    I enjoy your videos so much..amazimg places and landscapes..lots of information about the places..and also your voice is so calming
  • @eddoctora
    You are the best! Thank you for all your informative and enjoyable travel videos.
  • @kw6298
    thanks for the video! i think it's also expensive b/c these are smaller new england towns vs big metropolitan cities where they have more hotels/accomodations. more hotels = more competition, so prices will be lower.

    im psyched about my new england fall trip next week!!!!!!!
