hey everyone how you doing eric here from nomadic fanatic
hope you guys are doing good today is going to be a good day you know why because i
decided today is going to be a good day look at that color of the water ah missouri ass ass
hey guys this will be a much more complete video than my last mess of a vlog i promise
got everything figured out now right we are right now in the in the ozarks of missouri essentially
and uh this beautiful water is screaming at me to get in there i'm gonna put my sandals on
and i'm gonna check out the temperature of the water i guess what we should do today gosh it's
gorgeous in missouri what's up with that i've had some bad experiences in missouri this is amazing
and guess what it's like mountain fed cold cold water even though today is pretty warm again
it's like 86 degrees with who knows how much humidity probably a hundred percent uh but
that water is still too cold to really enjoy it i've got my kayak ready to go for this summer
but like i said i think it's too cold today so yeah man i have waited way too long to come to
the ozarks here this is totally different than the mississippi river what's the name of this river
i don't know the green river the bluish teal green river hey just been walking around this place
getting my steps and enjoying the fresh air and having a hard time leaving even though i i know
i got to get on down the road because i can't camp at the spot right here it's a great day you spot
but i can't i can't stay here so uh i think i'm gonna get on the road and just kind of remember
this place it's beautiful it is there's also another campground opening on the other side of
the highway over there they're going to be open in about 10 days he said he just bought the place
he's going to turn it in it's got a view like this but he's going to put if he's building a
campground over there it might even be it might even be open by the time this video is live but uh
anyway i forgot to mention i'm uploading this video with some nomad internet there's a link
below in the video description if you need some mobile unlimited internet let's get on the road
we've been putting on some miles so let's just uh go back and check all my connections make
sure everything's good on roxy the rebel and she is good she is secure car good doing great
no issues at all this setup is perfect and i love having them both with me on the road so all right
goodbye beautiful river let's go find quirky and some camping where's your cute little sister jax
and she's still hiding while we're driving and she doesn't come out until we're really done huh yeah
pretty much pretty much she waits till till dinner time all right i'll bring back there's something
quirky outside all right there's something quirky and then we'll eat okay okay where am i i'm in
mountain view missouri and the ozarks in fact i'll put a little map up in missouri and give
a little shoot to do pin thingamajig of where i'm at right now in this state and uh there's a bank
right yeah this is simmons bank that has some neat little horse uh metal artwork out here it's pretty
neat right not the fanciest of art you will find but i'm jealous i would love to have something
outside oh look at this this is the front end of something a john deere tractor i think
it was the front end now it's the rear end that's pretty cool though there's uh three more over here
i love how they use the the tractor front end the case tractor front end for his rear end and got a
nebraska plate this one laying down here has grand canyon state arizona plate and this guy over here
he's getting some grass it's different right quirky dang since i left that river the weather
has definitely changed here in the ozarks it actually feels a little chilly now it looks
like it's going to rain i better go check the forecast because i got to know these things uh-oh
this is can you see where my thumb's at you probably can't see thunderstorms tonight
so heavy rain say it said flash flooding is possible and heavy heavy thunderstorms tonight
that's okay though it just kind of changes things i was gonna go find
a nice campground in the woods and after my experience in kentucky camping on not
roads in the rain i think it's a good idea to stay away from the river and the bank and anything
that's not solid ground tonight overnight with this with this thunderstorms and rain coming so
probably going to look for some urban boon docking for one night and then we'll get back to camping
in our next video okay let's go down the road here a little farther and see what i can find
all right the wind is still going crazy but if the rain can hold out just like 15 more minutes till i
get parked there is a walmart on the other side of town this is mountain grove and uh yeah so where
am i here i don't know what the name of this place is but there's a sign yeah they get a lot of wind
over here this one's being repaired but you can faintly make out world's largest monument to the
u.s constitution and i believe i'm at a place called earth outdoor products or saddle
king and here it is guys the world's largest u.s constitution it's about 30 or 35 feet tall it
says we the people of the united states in order to form a more perfect union establish justice
yada yada yada you can read that if you want to i wanted to see what's going on on the back side
of it oh that was a little little walkway up the stairs oh wait a minute i gotta show sean this oh
love this buddy shawn loves rc cola this is a really old rc cola sign
wow that's pretty neat all right let's go up the stairs wait i got a pepsi cola one
too that's really old and rusty where's all the coke stuff i demand a refund let's go
upstairs climbing climbing climbing oh yeah we're gonna we're gonna get up here pretty high guys
almost at the top almost the top there's the highway i was just on out there
ah there's miranda and tater tot and and the american flag oh yeah the nasty clouds that's
where we're going walmart is uh right up you can almost see the blue sign over there that's where
i'm going to be sleeping tonight but yeah we gotta start making our way over there because it's been
another interesting day and unfortunately i have not fixed the audio problem of the microphone
on the camera that faces me inside the rv there's still an annoying really bad crackle and i tried
a bunch of different things but i guess i need to keep working on it and diagnosing it maybe it
only happens at speeds over 35 or something but i do not have any narration from inside the rv once
again in this video but i will get it sorted out eventually just be patient with me guys
let's go get parked make sure the kitties are okay they're probably starving starving little
kitties all right just got parked here at walmart um i guess i'm just really good at this because
i did not use i have to use my levelers i didn't want to i'll tell you about that in just a second
but i can usually just look in the parking lot and kind of see which way the grade works and how all
the slopes work i pulled into this turned on the levelers just to see they're all flashing green
i'm literally level and there's a lot of unlevel spots here but in addition to the thunderstorm
warning we got a tornado watch which isn't as bad as a as a tornado warning but we got a tornado
watch here in missouri overnight so here's my plan okay no levelers uh i'm not putting the slide out
uh i'm gonna keep the key in the ignition and if something bad happens cross my fingers
that don't happen but i'm turnkey go 1am 2am 3am we're just gonna drive 200 feet
over towards that shelter right there that is that is my plan i know there's
a bunch of people getting gas there right now but i don't think they'll be there getting gas
early in the morning and i'm sure nothing's going to happen i'd still worry or stress about those
kinds of things but it is what it is get ready for this rain i guess hey deretera you came out a
little sooner this time huh yeah you did no you're not sure about it she just doesn't know about the
driving thing you know just she's very unsure if he's like why don't you move so much every day dad
i know you have to talk to jax we do travel a lot but you'll get used to it tara tara sweet
baby girl i'm almost ready for dinner i'm gonna make some pizza okay straight just preheated the
oven gonna have a tombstone yeah yeah you wouldn't like it jax no you wouldn't like it sorry yeah you
about ready for dinner you guys look pretty hungry is tara hungry when i say that tara like jax does
yeah you'll get the hang of it they are hungry i gotta feed them hang on guys all right pizza
should be done i'm kind of messing with you guys here trying out different cameras and different
audio equipment oh my gosh that looks that looks amazing for an rv pizza yeah yeah just trying out
some different cameras different microphones to see what the real problem is up here
i'm also trying out some different sd cards here and just kind of running it to see what happens
oh thank you tara thanks for learning how to play fetch that was really nice of you can i have it
you're not done with it okay let me know when you're done with it okay you done can i have it
are you using it or can i have it again
jax plays fetch with bottle caps yeah he does here likes her ball she loves the ball
yeah yeah so looks like we might have another kitty who's going to learn to play fetch but also
another kitty learning to chew wires now these are just audio uh wires that come from my tv and go to
my den here um i i guess i didn't have them put up far enough um i've already repaired them once
and um and there's some other wires under there obviously you don't want a kitty get into the
fuse box over there so i do need to wrap this up a little better with cardboard because tara gets
in here that's no good i love her but we can't have two cord biting cats i just can't keep up
yep so we're talking about this uh cat tree and a lot of people have uh shamed me for
this because it takes up so much room in my office here however i have the two happiest
of kitties tara tara loves her little tube down there and jax loves his throne
maybe next time we go to disney world i need to get tara one of these that goes down here so she
loves her spot she does she doesn't know about the camera she was literally just sleeping but
my kitties love this thing so don't tell me to get rid of it because it is clearly much
more important than my office situation here much right right right right all right okay
well
