Hello! We are Dave, Carrie and Roodle the Labradoodle! We sold our traditional house, quit our jobs and began our journey in December of 2018. We converted out 2017 Ram Promaster into our tiny home on wheels and we have been exploring North America One adVANture at a time! If this is your first time here.....WELCOME!!! If you are returning and things look a bit different it's because our RU-vid Channel was hacked... we are EXTREMELY happy to have our channel restored but it is taking some time to get things back in order!
Have just discovered you guys, Wow! Thoroughly enjoyed watching this trip. Have signed up to get your videos. So interesting thank you so much for sharing. I'm in New Zealand, by the way. 😊😊
I liked it. Even though I'm from the general area (Mio) I don't know where this lake is. So many of these videos don't give directions. Thanks, I enjoyed it. Jerry
Highway 12 Utah would rival any road. With stops at Capitol Reef, going over the Hogback near Escalante and driving the Burr Trail, Bryce Canyon , Red Canyon and Zion National Park. Driving into Zion from the East side and throught he tunnel is amazing.The variety of different scenery makes this drive special.
LOVE HIGHWAY 12! Probably our favorite drive in the lower 48. Apples and oranges when it comes to beauty…. Each different in their own way! Both BEE-YOU-TEE-FULL!!!
Quite the trek this leg to get to the well hidden gem, Salmon Glacier. But Canada? I thought you already crossed into Alaska? If I'd just kept watching, you explained it at 13:30, as you usually do ;) How long will you be in AK? You might see bears fishing before you leave :)
I probably drive it 3 times a year at least, every year. I’ve been at the Athabaska Glacier in the middle of winter at night at -40c. It is amazing, NO Wind (which is very unusual) and clear sky lit up with stars. May is a nice time to drive the Parkway. Sure you can drive the Parkway in 3 hours but you’re not going to experience it. Smart move staying the Visitor Centre overnight. Good choice of music and a very well done video. Thank you. Safe travels.
The scenery there is breathtaking! That camping spot was epic! But I was taken by surprise with the tide surge! Now that is something that would shake you up. I can imagine how y'all felt! Good thing you got that gentle reminder of how unexpected nature can be. Looking forward to every bit of this trip. Enjoy the journey and stay safe y'all!
I have lived in central NY my whole life, and i am so so sad that I have never been. 😢 I have an knee injury and not able to walk up that many steps. I pray me knee gets better and I can go down the steps in the future. Your voice has inspired me to keep getting out side. Thank you so much. Love & Light always Karen 😊and Miles 🐶 ps we are now subscribers 😀
Wow! That tidal surge was SCARY! I had no idea it could happen. As you said, a learning experience. I'm so glad it worked out for you. Lovely video, as always!
Thanks guys - Lots of useful info here. We are coming up in a few weeks and also traveling up the Cassiar and staying in Hyder. I did read the warnings about camping near the shores but thank you for reminding us - probably would have forgotten by then. Great job on this and we will be following your progress. Safe travels!
+@TP-es1pf Those that live in coastal areas of Alaska are called brown bears, while typically inland bears that have limited or no access to marine-derived food resources are often smaller and called grizzlies. Both have the same distinctive body shape described below. Distinctive shoulder hump. Rump is lower than shoulder hump….. according to the National Park Website. Seems like they are pretty much the same to me…. Just eating different food🤷♀️
@@oneadVANtureatatime well several google sites would beg to differ …. I suspect US and Canada differ in their names, grizzlies are much larger and very unpredictable. Brown bears are big black bears in nature. Hope you don’t meet one either way….😁
Good to see this video as we are planning to make the trip as well. Is there boondocking other than where you were? Hopefully we will see some bears next year. Thanks for sharing!
You two are awesome. I would never attempt a trip like this unless with a group. I am assuming you are the team leader. You are cautious but take some risk, at least risk i would be comfortable with. Am enjoying your travels to Alaska and thanks for bringing us along. BTW, what speed were you going on those potholed roads? This is wonderful.
+@mikefarrell5996 a little risk is exciting but a risk that changes your lives (not for the good) or causes major damage…… not so much fun! Dave says we were driving about 15mph. This will change for each person. How well your suspension is, how heavy you are, how bad the road is, how good are your tires…..ect. The key is finding “your” sweet spot. If it is REALLY BAD…. Airing down your tires will also help.
Repair costs suck for sure. Just got hit with 20k for a new V10 engine and 4x4 repairs for our truck and 8k worth of repairs/upgrades for our Excursion.
Thanks again for more of your great drone work Dave. Awesome is an overused word these days, but that glacier overhead really was awesome! Really glad the tidal experience turned out OK. Lessons learned.
Alrighty then! You guys certainly are not starting out conservatively in Alaska. "Looks OK from here." Famous last words. I'm glad you decided to walk it.
We are grinning ear to ear for you guys. You did it! We wouldn't have wanted to leave that spot either. So epic! Good thing you guys noticed the tide coming in. Just Alaska reminding you what a wild ride you're in for. This is just going to get better. Wahooooo guys!!!
