Peter-Santenello-Interview-Bob Davis Podcast 1169

Peter Santenello Interview

Firstly Peter Santenello joins the Bob Davis Podcast for an Interview.

Three Years Ago

Secondly Peter and I became acquainted three years ago at Quartzite, Arizona.

In addition Peter and I became pretty good friends as a result of that interaction three years ago.

Furthermore he has helped me with my YouTube Project.

Experience In The Desert

Not to mention the fact that appearing in a video on Santenllo’s channel documenting his experience with us in the desert that year.

Collaboration

Equally if not more important is our collaboration this month on a video in Arizona.

Arizona Diversity

To begin with Arizona has so many diverse cities and towns.

Stories To Tell

And there are always stories to tell.

Therefore our trip entailed visiting four completely different Arizona Towns.

That is to say Sedona, Clarksburg, The Yavapai-Apache Nation, Jerome and Prescott.

New Rig Co-Stars

Even more my new rig, Mobile Podcast Command Unit 11, is prominently featured in Peter’s new video.

Audio Podcast

Thirdly we decided to sit down for a podcast on my channel the day after our little tour of mid northern Arizona.

Because I create unique content for the audio podcast as opposed to the video channel, Peter-Santenello-Interview-Bob Davis Podcast 1169, includes content not in the video on my YouTube Channel found here.

Also Peter’s YouTube Channel is here.

Experiences

Afterward we talked about the trip, and the experiences we had.

Social Media Isn’t Real

For one thing we agree the America people experience through social media is not the reality.

Travel Opens The Mind

In the hope this fact may be better understood Peter and I discuss how travel broadens the mind and softens harsh judgements.

Fourthly we talk about Peter’s experience with his many videos and interviews.

Great Adventure

All in all we had a great adventure.

Arizona History

In essence telling part of the Arizona Historical story and sharing our own observations.

All things considered we talked about the mining and ranching history of Arizona as well as our impressions of life in The Grand Canyon State.

And Grand It Is.

Is-My-Rig-Wrecked-Bob Davis Podcast 1168

Is My Rig Wrecked

Is my rig wrecked? Find out in Is-My-Rig-Wrecked-Bob Davis Podcast 1168. Firstly most of the time my nomad travel experience is bliss.

The End Of The World

Secondly when things go wrong it doesn’t mean the end of the world.

Transformation

On the contrary when things go wrong the result can be a transformative experience.

That’s what Is-My-Rig-Wrecked-Bob Davis Podcast 1168 is all about.

Travel Bliss

For example I was in the middle of pure travel bliss.

And then I discovered a fuel leak.

Mechanical

As a result I visited the service department at the nearest Love’s truck stop.

Subsequently the service department confirmed the fuel link but said they don’t usually do that kind of work.

After that they recommended Freightliner Truck Service…

On the other hand the Freightliner Service was eighty miles away.

So with a fuel link that was out.

Local Businesses

At length I found a heavy truck service place in Coachella and made an appointment for the next day, Monday.

Pleasant Sunday Turned Into A Nightmare

As luck would have it I was spending a pleasant Sunday in the Love’s lot when an 18 Wheeler backed in to one of my doors which was open.

Certainly all the details are in Is-My-Rig-Wrecked-Bob Davis Podcast 1168.

An Accident

To explain, it was an accident.

In addition more than one correspondent on my you tube channel reminded me these kinds of accidents happen all the time at truck stops.

Heavy Truck Repair

After that I headed over to the Heavy Truck repair…

Spent A Full Week There

And ended up spending a week there.

Door Repair?

Furthermore I had some time to determine the best course of action on getting my door repaired.

Joshua Tree

Therefore I ended up in the town of Joshua Tree, California dealing with a perfectly delightful and highly competent fabricator.

Yes It Can Be Repaired

All in all the truck can be repaired and I have even added a few twists to the original plan.

Maybe Better

To that end the truck might be better than before!

Positive Attitude

All things considered it’s so important to maintain a positive attitude.

YouTube

Texas-Grit-Road-Trip-Bob Davis Podcast 1166

Texas Grit Road Trip

Firstly, I’ve always wanted to take the Texas Grit Road Trip. A more than thousand mile romp through Texas from the Gulf to the West Texas Oil Fields. It’s all in Texas-Grit-Road-Trip-Bob Davis Podcast 1166.

New Rig

Secondly I’ve got a great new rig that needs a shakedown cruise.

Tennessee

Weirdly enough the Texas Grit Road Trip starts as a matter of fact our trip starts in Tennessee, of all places.

Natchez Trace Trail

That is to say I got a great suggestion from a friend to hit the Natchez Trail.

Analogous to great scenic routes like Skyline Drive along the Blue Ridge the Natchez Trace trail runs from Tennessee all the way to Natchez, Mississippi.

Louisiana and The Gulf Coast

Henceforth I headed into Louisiana and then on down to Corpus Christie Texas. And now we’re getting into the core of the Texas-Grit-Road-Trip-Bob Davis Podcast 1166

Beach Camping

Accordingly this podcast highlights some of the beach camping options as well as a few truck stops along the way.

Texas-Mexico Border

Thereafter all along the Texas-Mexico Border on up to Del Rio.

Pecos

Afterward to the best part of the trip, the road North to Pecos, Texas.

Oil Fields and West Texas

And out to the oil fields in West Texas.

Guadalupe Mountains

Finally following the route through the Guadalupe Mountains back down to the border across New Mexico to Arizona.

Lots To Talk About

Above all there’s a lot to this podcast.

Traffic

To emphasize the working nature of this part of the United States the traffic out in the oil fields is as intense as any major city.

Heavy Trucks and Heavy Work

Notwithstanding the fact that all the vehicles were heavy trucks carrying all kinds of cargo to and from the fields.

At length the so called ‘man-camps’, truck stops and pull off points with everyone seeming to be on a mission.

Covering Ground

Certainly it’s true I love to cover ground in my travels.

Seeing and Learning

Most importantly it’s a chance to see people doing what they do.

Work Work Work

And this part of the world seems to be focused on work.

History

In light of the nature of the places I got to see there’s also a ton of history here.

Texas Weather

At the present time you might see a place like Sanderson, Texas that looks a little worn down…

But not know that a tornado a few years ago nearly destroyed the place.

Harsh Conditions

But stories like that are common in a part of the world where harsh conditions prevail.

All things considered these places live up to the reputation.

True Grit

That is to say this part of the country was forged by true grit.

Finally I use the term ‘Grit’ in as positive a manner as I can express.

All things considered Texas itself has never been an ‘easy’ place to live.

It’s Not Big City Life

On the whole these days life in the big cities can be pretty cushy.

Ranching Farming Oil and Small Towns

In truth though, whether it’s ranching, farming or oil West Texas is a place that values and embodies hard work.
