Amping Up Our Security for the RV - PUPPY CAM 

“Joel’s not a tech guy” …me remembering how long it took for him to move over to an iPhone sticking with his old brick for YEARS 😂😂

Tennessee here! Camping in the Smokey mountains, specifically outside of Cades Cove is absolutely beautiful. I always love going to Dollywood and Splash country for some amusement park fun, but the hiking trails in the Smokies are always the best. There tons of waterfalls and lookout points like the Tri-State Peak , which is where you can stand on and lookout over Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky all at once!

Michigan is a camping dream! Especially northern Michigan. We have beautiful beaches, forests, Great Lakes, Mackinaw Island (our gem)

Come to Michigan. There is so much to see and do. It is absolutely beautiful.

If you go to Michigan DEFINITELY stop by Frankenmuth, holland and Mackinac island

Michigan! Our lakes are great!!!!

Michigan pictured rocks!!!

Bonnie, You possess a wonderful positivity trait..believing in all your family. You're awesome & soo love that about you. I loved Joel's excitement putting on the travel map stickers. :)

New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont are pure beauty!

Swing on through Michigan, we’d love to have you visit our home state (just be prepared for drivers who think blinkers are more of a suggestion😂). We have some of the loveliest State Parks located on the Sand Dunes in Western Michigan, where we are. Also, Mackinac Island in the Upper Peninsula (or UP as we call it) is beautiful and has a lot of Native American history. Joel, what a lovely thing to do, to clean that whole camper~that is a true act of service💖.

Bonnie, you look absolutely gorgeous!! I just watched Aunt Linda’s funeral video. Very special, and sweet. I love watching your family. You guys give me the will to keep moving forward when life gets you down. I’ve watched you guys go through the wringer, and watching your family continue to move forward and trust in Gods mercy is a testimony to everyone struggling. This week has been incredibly hard for my family. Just one thing after another and watching these videos has given me joy and has reminded me what Gods mercy and plan is for us. Thank you for putting your content on RU-vid and never giving up hope. ❤️ much love!

Michigan!! The whole east side ! Silver lake,sand dunes,traverse city,petosky,charlevoix ,Mackinac island and the up!!! Michigan is a beautiful state! Even better in the fall

New hampshire is beautiful in the fall, the foliage is amazing. Definitely a must see.

The U.P of Michigan! Munising Mi has incredible opportunities to see waterfalls and pictured rocks. You could do Mackinaw Island while in Michigan too.

I'm from Laconia, New Hampshire and there are tons of touristy places to go all over this state. One of my favorite places is in Lincoln NH at the Clark's Trading Post!! Their main attractions are tame bear shows plus acrobatics. There are cool rides to go on. You get to go on a train ride in the woods that's pretty neat and ride on segways. Also places to eat and plenty of gift shops and much more. It is a whole day of fun that's for sure!! You can look them up online if you like. I would love to be able to meet you all one day, it would be a dream come true. Love you all bunches!!!

Pennsylvania! If you love to hike or just be immersed in nature there are so many good options. The Poconos, Ricketts Glenn, Hershey, Raystown, Ohiopyle, and so many more. Our personal favorite is Ricketts Glenn it’s beautiful in the fall with all the waterfalls!!

Lake George, NY! Go during the summer time and it is the perfect time to go, with plenty to do!

Michigan. Mackinaw Island, Mackinaw Bridge, The Soo Locks, Kitchi-iti-kipi, Great Lakes Maritime Heratige Center.

I’m a Michigander! Come to the Mitten State, we have a ton of great state parks! Lake Michigan is beautiful, lots of great campgrounds to visit with lake access. The Upper Peninsula often gets overlooked, but in the fall it is simply STUNNING (specifically Tahquamenon Falls!) There’s also the Mackinac City/Island that’s really fun! And while you’re in Michigan, you might as well cross over to Canada and see the Niagara Falls (the Pinery is a great campground in CA). I’ll be so excited when you guys complete your map, how fun!

New Hampshire and Rhode Island!!! Great places!!!

I'm in Indiana - I personally recommend Turkey Run State Park, Brown County, Lake Monroe, Marengo Cave, Exotic Feline Rescue Center, and basically all the state parks as well! I'm a third-generation Hoosier on both sides of my family and I absolutely love my state. To many people out-of-state, it seems like there's nothing to do here but even after 26 years I still find new things to do. :)

From Massachusetts!! Cape Cod, Newport RI, Burlington VT!

Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, Michigan, River Raisin National Battle Park in Monroe, water falls all over the state, Pictured Rocks in the Upper Peninsula, Kitchi-ti-kippi, a ghost town in Fayette, copper and iron mines and Lake of the clouds. have more light houses than the east coast.

minnesota in the summer or fall is seriously UNBEATABLE i’d love to see it through your eyes - lots of water falls and beautiful scenery and amazing camp spots up by lake superior! one of my favorite things to do is the glensheen mansion - it’s this GORGEOUS house you can tour! there’s also AMAZING rock hunting :)

Northern Georgia best views

Joel is a jack of all trades . Wonderful family!

You guys should put little stars on the map where you have actually stayed! I think it would look neat and you can delineate which places you’ve just driven through and which places you’ve camped and spent time in 👌🏻

I sure miss your longer videos. You and your family warms my heart. I get tickled at the kids they are so precious to watch. But I have enjoyed seeing the whole family together. You are such a good wholesome family and hope one day the videos get longer 😊.

Y'all are always welcome here in the Land of Lincoln - ILLINOIS! Besides the "Windy City" (not because of actual wind, mind you, even though that can be harsh in winter), our Sweet Home, Chicago! But also because the amazing Abraham Lincoln lived and practiced law here before he became our 15th President! The Lincoln Museum is there + his home area has been preserved in Springfield, as well as Lincoln's Tomb. His rural home is also near Petersburg, IL. President Lincoln held law offices in both the state capital (Springfield) and also in my city, Bloomington-Normal, IL, home of the Redbirds and my alma mater, Illinois State University! There are also plenty of "large" things throughout the state of Illinois, but one fun one is the largest Monopoly board/pieces in Macomb, IL, which is where the game of Monopoly was invented. Wherever y'all roam, hope you have a fun summer - safe travels!!!

Should come to PA we have Hersey park Dorney park. Also some fun stuff in Lancaster pa

Come to Cherokee, NC we will show you all the fishing spots. Tons of wildlife to see and a lot of surrounding areas like the blue ridge parkway that are fun to visit!

When you go to Montana, stop in Virginia City and go to Cousin's candy shop and visit the museums there! That's my mom's side of the family, and my 5th great-grandmother was the first white baby born there!

So I am from WI and I lived In MN I high recommend going to The mall of America! and In mn there is a place called Red Wing Shoe! Go there tooo. I am living in Kentucky! Keenland Horse park is a must see! If i see you guys in person id cry! I love ya'll! I cried when I seen Aunt Linda passed away! I loved hearing her!

Oregon you need to go to blue pool, the cowboy dinner tree, evergreen air and space museum, the seal lion caves

I’m from Bristol, TN! We are the Birthplace of Country Music and have a Smithsonian Museum downtown. Main Street is the TN/VA state line so you can stand in two states at once. It’s also a NASCAR destination (“World’s fastest half-mile”) and at Christmas time they have Speedway in Lights where you get to drive on the track and the lights are set to music with a carnival in the middle. I also have family in Wilmington, NC on the coast. I noticed you hadn’t crossed that one off yet! It’s a quaint city with lots to do and many movies/shows have been filmed on the beaches!

I’m from Maryland and you should definitely check out the following 😊: The naval academy in Annapolis, swing through DC to see all the monuments and White House, and visit the more rural part by driving straight through Carroll county (stopping at historic Hoffman’s ice cream), that will take you right to Gettysburg Pennsylvania!

Come to Michigan!! (Kitch-Iti-Kipi, Mackinac, Tawas and go to all of the fun stops in the Huron National Forest)

From North Carolina....not a pit stop by any means but I think you all would love the Outer Banks. Beautiful.

Come to Richmond, Virginia!! 2 hours south of DC, gorgeous city with a level 5 rapid river, lots of nature trails and outdoor music for friends and families

Michigan summers are unreal. Up north is beautiful and full of fun places/things to do. Mackinac Island in the UP is one of the most beautiful places hands down. So fun for the whole family. My family and I have gone every summer since I was a kid and it never gets old! Couldn’t recommend a Michigan trip more.

I am from Kentucky. We have the creation museum, also the life size Noah’s ark museum, Newport aquarium, Louisville slugger museum (they give out free bats). Louisville zoo, Church hill downs, ( Kentucky derby) Six Flags amusement park, Cumberland falls, Red River Gorge, The corvette museum and the motor sports park (Joel can race a real corvette on a real race track) We have the first KFC restaurant, Buc-ee’s.

Ontario, Canada is beautiful!!

Indiana! I’m at the top. Northwest Indiana. We have campgrounds, beaches, and we’re close to Chicago. And Michigan for hiking. But Indiana also has Santa clause Indiana. It’s an amusement park with an rv camp attachment. Holiday world & slashing safari.

I hope that you will come back to Oregon again. I will definitely be looking into those cameras.

Born and raised in RI and the beaches are magical but TOTALLY different than FL… rugged and perfectly “coastal” get clam cakes and doughboys at Iggys ❤ Now I reside in Charlotte NC which is also lovely… BBQ at SmokePit for sure!

Wish we could have seen y’all in Georgia ♥️Sending love hugs prayers and kindness with a daily dose of encouragement ♥️🙏🏼👍🏼🌹🇺🇸

Wisconsin! Wisconsin Dells offers a lot of family activities (Noah's Ark, largest water park in North America) and anywhere around there to northern WI would be stunning for camping out, then cross into Minnesota and out west from there.

Love your TV's trips. We live in Georgia (Atlanta). There is a great campground at Stone Mountain.

Come to Minnesota! Beautiful in the fall and summer! Duluth is an all time fav of mine and so much to see there!

Superior, WI.. so much to do, plus you could see one of the great lakes 😊

Come to Kentucky, the Boys would love the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, we have Mammoth Caves and more.

Galena Illinois is a beautiful little town in Northern Illinois.

You guys should come to Cooperstown, NY and go to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Upstate NY is beautiful! Go to Delhi, and eat brunch at the Blue Bee Cafe on Main Street. Get the Cobb salad with the Greek goddess dressing…it’s made with pesto and SO delish. The crepes are amazing too. Cute shops along Main Street as well. You could also go to Howes Caverns!

I’m from Maine. I think you guys would love Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor. It is absolutely beautiful here.

Hi from Kentucky! You totally should come spend a few days here and see the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY. ❤️

Ohio!!! If you like roller coasters and heights I recommend going to cedar point! It’s very fun!

You have got to make it to northern Michigan and camp on Lake Michigan (Traverse city area). Doesn’t disappoint!

From MA! So much history and Massachusetts and of course you have your boy, Boston that could explore our Capital Boston where there was the Boston tea party and we have Plymouth Rock and just so much fun stuff to do. I would love to see you guys explore Massachusetts and New England!

I’m from Illinois near Chicago and when you were in St Louis you were super close to Illinois which is on the other side of the bridges and you did go over one of the bridges and so I think you passed through Illinois too even if briefly and do you should recheck what roads you were on and you’d probably realize you went through Illinois too. I think Illinois was on the other side of that bridge you went over. We have been on that same bridge because my sister and her family use to live close to St Louis until they moved back to Illinois.

You guys should come to Alberta Canada! You would love Banff, Jasper, drumheller! So many fun spots.

I'm from West Virginia,,y'all should check out the New River Gorge Bridge and it's National Park and Preserve. Beautiful place.

If you come through SC I’d recommend coming to lake keowee/lake jocasee area in the upstate. We have beautiful, pristine lakes (fishing, boat rentals available) nestled in the blue ridge mountains. There are too many waterfall hikes to mention. The chatooga river is close and has amazing white water rafting . Greenville, SC is an hour away and the gem of our state-lots of cool things to see and do there-Falls Park is an amazing award winning park with a waterfall right in the middle of it.

You won’t be coming through my state because I live in Queensland Australia. A local attraction in my town is Whale watching. We are known as the Whale capital of Queensland. 😊😊😊

New Hampshire says hi be safe on the road ❤🙏🙏praying for all of you

Rhode Island!! Must haves are clam cakes and “chowda” and calamari. Westerly, Jamestown and Newport are all beautiful places in the summer and fall. The beaches are ok , but I prefer the Florida beaches.

Joel, remember when we were all in the comments teasing you about your flip phone 😂 We understand the not techy. I think its a great idea to check on Lady, you never know what she's up to. I'm from the Province of Nova Scotia, you guys need to visit!

Minnesota has So many Awesome places! Duluth has the big ships come in port. Boundary Waters is Beautiful! Itasca State park is where the Mississippi River first starts! However it is Best to come in the Summer! Otherwise Mn is pretty snowy!

Hey Bonnie I saw someone put on clear nail polish to protect their stickers from weather and stuff... thought I'd pass on the idea😊

If you make it out to Connecticut you guys would enjoy Steep Rock State Park in Washington or even White Memorial in Litchfield - there’s so many great nature preserves in CT!!

That map is so neat! How fun to see where you all went 🌸

When you come to Alaska, please come to Homer. It is the halibut fishing capital of the world!

South Carolina the beaches and mountains!

Michigan!! you gotta check out silver lake, they have a campground for your trailer and then you can enjoy the dunes. Mackinac Island is a MUST. but it will have to be a day trip to you because you can't take any vehicles on it.

I would love one of those maps, but have both Canada and United States.

A boat ride to Catalina from Newport, CA

Ohio.... Lake Erie is beautiful to camp

You need to come and stay in Salem Oregon and see the temples

Wisconsin is a campground state! There is “Camping for the Fun of It” with amazing campgrounds and many activities (ice cream bars, jumping pillows, swimming ponds, barrel rides, you name it, it’s there. Merry Mac’s campground is located not far from the Wisconsin Dells (Water Park Capital of the World), Devils Lake, and Madison, WI. Better yet, on your way you can stop by Chicago, Illinois!
