The Hi Jolly Parade is hands-down one of the most unique celebrations you’ll find in the Arizona desert! Every January, the streets of Quartzsite come alive to honor the legacy of Philip Tedro—better known as Hi Jolly—the lead camel driver for the U.S. Army's experimental Camel Corps back in the 1850s. It’s a classic small-town parade with a huge desert twist, featuring everything from decorated floats and vintage vehicles to live camels marching right through town. It’s a wonderful way for the RVer community to gather, celebrate local history, and tip our hats to the "ships of the desert" that once helped blaze the trails we travel today.

Hi Russ, love your tv show.I am going on vacation with you every day. Some time I watch them over and over,I didn’t know America was so empty so much wilderness. I am glad to see that. Take care☺Julie
Hey Russ, love your videos they take me places I have never and may never get to. But because I get to see America. Thank you, thank you. be safe on your travels.
Love, love, love your videos. I was a road rep and loved the travel. But I got let go from my job and I really miss the travel. So watching your videos satisfies my love for travel. Keep up the good work
Great show I just discovered it a couple of days ago and cant stop watching, I live in Colorado` have all my life. We have a 5th wheel and love to GO just about anywhere. Thanx for all the great ideas we will definitely. Check It Out! Please tell me about your filming equipment,as I know very little about what is good.
I have enjoyed watching your travels on YouTube and the walks you take at the various places you visit. I was a victim of polio in 1953 and am limited on the distance I can walk. Your walking videos have allowed me to see many museums,forts and monuments that I was not able to visit in my travels.Thank you for your excellent videos and the information that you have shared with your viewers.
I really enjoyed your video of Mackinaw city.island ,city and lighthouses.
Michigan does have great State Parks and many miles of lake frontage which I enjoy as a resident of Michigan.
Keep up the great travels!
