One of the greatest things about traveling is it offers oodles of opportunities to make new friends! One such opportunity fell into our laps while we were failing at finding a free campsite near Yosemite National Park.

Yosemite National Park is one of America's most famous national parks. So it was a must-see destination for us while traveling north through California. One problem though - we couldn't find boondocking sites anywhere near Yosemite! As luck would have it, we were contacted by an amazing couple who offered a solution!

"Yellosemite" never looked better. So glad you got to moochdock, too. Meeting people along your journey adds richness to your life and to those that meet you. Thank you for sharing your experience of Yosemite with us.

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

Thank you Andy, and it was awesome meeting you recently too :)

@sin-kietjho355 6 лет назад

You two are so much more mature and spiritual than your young age. A such a beautiful young couple...truly enjoy your shows

@mikelizonitz19 6 лет назад

Wow! Thanks so much for this video. Brings back lots of memories of one of our road trips. We feel guilty for not alerting you to take rain gear. Of course, we didn't know you were heading there so forget that...... HA! Glad you are having so much fun.

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

Thank you Mike & Pat, we luckily did a ton of research before heading into the park, but being unprepared isn't new to us hahaha!

@mariemartinez8027 6 лет назад

Your videos and storytelling are perfection! Prayerful that the husband and I are out there with you in the next 2 years (along with our 2 year old French Bulldog Niko). In the meantime, thank you for sharing and taking us along! Continued blessings and safe travels!

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

Thank you! We hope to see you on the road someday too!

@mariagaratearambula3639 6 лет назад

Thank You for taking me on this beautiful adventure. I had a smile on my face till the end of your video.

@cyndifoore7743 6 лет назад

Later in the summer there’s less water for the falls so less mist. I was there in early August and bridal veil falls is amazing how the air catches the water and it’s constantly changing.

@thereseember2800 6 лет назад

You’re a very sweet couple and someday I’m sure you will gift to other travelers what you’ve been so graciously given.

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

That's why we don't even own a TV and never watch the news, just too sad

@TheCalPH 6 лет назад

Years back I moved to a town close to Yosemite, so have gone up several times a year every year; I think I've become somewhat 'used' to the main attractions, so it's great to see the amazement from the eyes of someone seeing it for the first time! On your next trip, try the following: Taft Point (you passed it on the way up to Glacier Point), Tioga Pass (lots of cool views and stops along the way) and go out the east entrance to Mono Lake (have lunch at Whoa Nellie Deli, the best gas station food in the US); maybe even stop at Bodie ghost town if that's interesting to you.

@seabeevet9285 6 лет назад

Drone views are incredible!! Great Job! :)

@kevinconway6331 6 лет назад

VERY nice! I would definitely wear contacts near the falls. No dry eyes there!

@billlee4008 6 лет назад

Can’t beat the upper Yosemite falls trail for a great view of the valley. Did it in January. Glacier point is a must see as well as the big trees. Tons to see my favorite park

@ivechang6720 6 лет назад

Arches National park would be right up your alley. Thank you for reminding me of all the waterfalls I got to see in Colorado way back when. Safe travels and be well ♡ive

@cecilialater2222 6 лет назад

Love your excited calmness.

@dontask8979 6 лет назад

I was there about 5 years ago and it was so dry the falls never hit the ground. Just a mist falling off the edge and evaporated. I just watched a video of the valley flooded a few days ago. very different. Thank you too for another great video!

@mrleeway 6 лет назад

I would recommend going to the two falls. You don't have to take the mist trail. There is another trail around it that you won't get wet. Going up to the upper falls is amazing.

@rons3699 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tour of Yosemite, it looked amazing.... Best wishes ::)))) Your drone footage at the beginning of the video was very cool......... Thanks for sharing it :::))))

@bkitayama 6 лет назад

The Mist Trail is worth it!!! It can be wet and slippery, but you do need to go through it though (and get a permit) to go to the top of Half Dome. You can see everything from the top of Half Dome.

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

We saw some great views while we were here, but we're SURE the view from Half Dome is one we wouldn't soon forget! Maybe someday!

@raymondschneider5217 6 лет назад

Such a beautiful location, but, waterfalls = WET!!! Looking forward to your follow-up vids of the Park! Thanks so much. Thank your hosts for us.

@foretravelman67 6 лет назад

America the Beautiful! There is so much to see! Thanks for sharing!

@wcarlhepker4806 6 лет назад

When you are in Yosemite again, you will want to go to Tioga Pass and the east entrance to the park. That is a beautiful drive with lots of places to pull off and exercise your camera. It is only open in the summer because snow clearing would be impossible in the winter. No trip to Yosemite is complete without seeing Tioga Pass.

We love watching your videos. we were just watching the mooch docking and making friends and thought it was hilarious that David kept getting Yellowstone mixed up with Yosemite. we do the same thing! we went to Yellowstone last year and just went to Yosemite about a month ago and we kept saying Yellowstone the entire time! YOU ARE NOT ALONE, DAVID. future rv'rs(?), Angela and Andy

@JustYourAverageCamper 6 лет назад

Guys! Take the John Muir Trail, which splits off of the early (dry part?) of the Mist Trail, and you'll get INCREDIBLE views of the top of Vernal Falls, as well as a commanding view of Nevada Falls above it! BTW...LOVE your vids - you two are living the dream! Thanks for sharing your journey :)

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

Thank you! We will have to take that next time, we've already left the area

@Pilgrimdave1960 4 года назад

Nice double rainbow

@MrEroshan 6 лет назад

The feeling we all get being in the vicinity of a waterfall is created by negative ions created by the water vapor. It purifies the air. Of course getting wet is also a plus.

@jamesmurray9333 6 лет назад

Love visiting Yosemite. We only live about 2 hours away near Sacramento

@frugalway 6 лет назад

Great adventure, we like the videos, keep going! No falls like that in Florida!

@kittyfoyle2119 6 лет назад

Gorgeous falls.Looked like you had a lot of fun. I'm sure you've heard of the group Boondocker's Welcome? There is a yearly fee ($40ish) and I know you run a tight budget, but it is a network of people who offer free boondocking sites on their property just as your hosts have done.

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

We had heard that something like that existed but couldn't ever find any information on it. Thank you so much for letting us know what it is called, we will look into it more as well :)

@randyc9656 6 лет назад

Lol you guys are so awesome,it’s fun to mooch dock ,have fun with it , and enjoy the food

@gailrobinson7125 6 лет назад

Yosemite is a great park. Was there about 7 years ago and really enjoyed it. Did the hike you did to Yosemite Falls but didn’t get wet...must have been a lot less water going over the falls then. Looks like you’re having fun there despite the unexpected shower. ☔️

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

We had a ton of fun even with getting soaked! Highly recommend going in early spring to see them this full!

@chriskelly477 6 лет назад

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

Thank you David! We'd love to meet you someday too! Thank you so much for the offer, we'll keep it in mind if we're ever in that area :)

@davebutler6521 6 лет назад

If you can stay a few more days, Tioga Pass will open at 9am Monday. It will take you up to 9000 feet. It is wonderful high country with great granite. If you go, make sure your gas tank is full. On the other side of Tioga Pass is Lee Vining and Mono Lake. I recommend Nicelys for breakfast. If you want to push a little bit, highway 108 from 395 takes you up and over Sonora Pass. And, Donnell Vista along 108, besides a vista, has some great granite monolith. The Mist Trail in Yosemite is always slippery because the mist from Vernal Falls sweeps across the steps. Everybody goes slow. Out of the way spot: as you come into Yosemite Valley, you cross the Pohono Bridge. If they haven't bloomed out, there are nice stands of dogwood on either side of the bridge. There is a wide spot on the right of the bridge. After the bridge, maybe 200 feet, is Fern Spring. There is a wide spot for parking a couple of cars. It is a natural spring. It is a cool place to sit and let the day go by. If you make it to Mariposa, Happy Burger is a good place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And, also in Mariposa, inside the Pioneer Market, about two blocks behind the Burger King, they make good Deli sandwiches and have Peet's coffee bar. Cheers.

@LuckyCharmRVing 6 лет назад

Well done and kudos to Matt & Susie for their hospitality. Yosemite is absolutely beautiful. My wife is from San Francisco and we lived in the Bay Area for many years before getting on the Fulltime bandwagon four years ago this coming July. We are actually leaving Texas next week and making our way to Lake Tahoe in a couple of weeks. Maybe we’ll see you along the way. Awesome videography by the way, it gives me hope that I could do better with my channel. Love seeing your videos ❤️

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

We'd love to meet up someday! Safe travels!

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

Wow, that seems intense! Maybe someday we'll do a hike that long and awesome!

@brendaschroeder2166 6 лет назад

@tawnihardwick7140 6 лет назад

I highly recommend the Panorama Trail!!! It starts up at Glacier Point and takes you over to the top of Nevada Falls. And you get some amazing views the whole time! Great shots of the back side of Half Dome, and there's a spot where you can see both Vernal and Nevada Falls from across the valley! It's an amazing hike with different angles of the popular views in the park! You can drive up to Glacier Point and then hike out to Nevada Falls and back....or, I believe you can park down in the valley by Happy Trails, take the shuttle up to Glacier Point, and then hike to Nevada Falls and then back down to the valley from there via the John Muir Trail if you area adamant about not getting wet (even though I think the Mist Trail is beyond awesome and totally worth the sogginess!!) Panorama trail was way less crowded than the other popular trails like John Muir, Vernal/Nevada via Mist, and Yosemite Falls, the last time I went ;)

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

Thank you! We have already left but we'll check it out next time for sure!

@TravelswithYoly 6 лет назад

Our last visit to Yosemite was just after the drought years and there wasn't sufficient flow to create much spray at all. Here's a tip I'll share .... just put your camera lens up to one of the binocular halves and use it as a telephoto. Use the one that has the focus adjuster if there is one. I've been doing that for decades :-) Many times, it doesn't work all that well but once in a while it'll surprise you with an amazing shot.

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

We thought about that, but even looking through these we were shaky so I don't it would work with ones with that much zoom. But maybe we'll be surprised if we do ever try it

@bendixon2898 6 лет назад

Thanks so much

@lanceguilin 6 лет назад

Lol.. Mixing up Yellowstone and Yosemite -- the names of these parks -- is hilarious not least of which being that I do the EXACT same thing all the time. It's not that I get confused about the actual parks. I know both parks well having visited both many times but for some odd reason in my brain, I say Yosemite often times when I mean Yellowstone. I've been to countless national parks and it's only these two names that gets crossed in my brain for whatever reason. lol. So I fully empathize David. :-) Enjoy Yosemite.. It's the crown jewel of the CA NPs.

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

@LC-sr5bt 6 лет назад

I second the recommendation for the John Muir trail up to Nevada falls. Decent hike, the trail is not generally wet like the Mist Trail and the view of Liberty Cap and down the stripey rock face from the top of Nevada is stunning. You also get amazing views of Vernal Falls with none of that pesky tumbling to your death. ;-)

@jamesveach6918 6 лет назад

I think calling it mooch docking would make the people feel very bad where you're staying I think gift docking is better

@FateUnbound 6 лет назад

Haha its all just a joke, the term itself is a joke :D

@houseofsolomon2440 6 лет назад

Glad to see that issue put to bed lol. Periodic, infrequent moochdocking: ok Full-time moochdocking: 'wahnt- waaaaah....' at risk for being "that guy"... which I know you are not... 👫 p.s. thx f/learning me a new term : )

If you're ever passing through the midwest, we live in Peoria, Illinois and could provide free electric, water hookups , a 6' backyard vinyl fence for sweetie, free indoor showers some warm home cooked meals and most of all a warm, kind, couple of new friends. We only make this offer because you both seem trustworthy and considerate people. I'm Steve the husband, sending this msg as Denise is taking a nap. We've been watching many of your videos as we hope to boon dock someday. We are older, I'm retired and I thought would'nt it be nice to meet some of these travelers and offer them some amenities? we're on facebook, Steve Foerter. So look us up if you'd like to meet some new friends.
