It is very un-level. We love this park, but the sites are very tricky to level. They are working on redoing them all. We will see! We should get a little step stool! The other couple is well. They spent the summer with their family and are now home in their sticks and bricks for the holidays. They do not have a UA-cam channel. Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

We loved the week we did in Montana. It def was not enough time and will be going back! We are all about beating the heat! Being from AZ, we will try to never do another summer there again! Safe travels! ❤️~Lareka

It has to be so different watching us set up. We are so big! The leveling at this park is crazy! We have watched rig after rig pull in next to us and try to figure it out. The park manager said this winter they are going to be leveling all the spots. We will see! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

You are so sweet, thank you for your kind words! I just can’t describe the feeling I get whenever we get closer to the west. I am a west coast girl I guess! We will be in Oregon this summer and I am so excited about it! Maybe we can meet up. October may still be a little warm in AZ. We usually don’t head home until Nov, but I know most places have been extremely warm this Fall. Def keep us posted, would love to see you guys! We will do the same! Safe travels! ❤️~Lareka

Thx so much! We loved our time at both Arches & Canyonlands and cannot wait to go back, especially for the hiking! We will have to check out your video. Thx so much for coming along with us! Safe travels! ❤️~Lareka

Thx Michelle. Yes cleaning when you get somewhere is the way to go for sure! The wagon folds up nicely, estimating about 2 1/2 ft X 1 sq maybe? I should’ve showed you guys that, ooops! Zevo’s are the best and boy did we catch our share over the summer! Ha! ❤️~Lareka

@@RetiredRoadTripping Thank you for the reply. That helps me envision the size. I am sure you guys have the same thing when buying something new.... "now where do we put this?" 🤣

We are def all about being present for those big moments, it is the only way we would be able to do this life! Thx on my board, just a little hobby that makes me happy. We hang it from the hitch, which works out well. We will also be in the PNW 2025/summer. We will have to try and meet up! Thx for coming along! Safe travels! ❤️~Lareka

@@RetiredRoadTripping Oh!! Good to know! Yes, we would love to meet you guys! 🤩 Safe Travels to you both too!

We def knew about Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. When we went to Glacier it was the off season, so nothing going on. Good info on the others. I don’t think we will ever be at a park before or by 6 am, we are just not early birds, but I guess you never know! Thx for all the info, and thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

Thx for watching guys! Hope you enjoying every minute with that new grand baby! ❤️~Lareka

I know right? Kevin has never been to the Grand Canyon and I went once when my youngest was in 4th grade on a field trip. He is now 24. It is time! We are planning to go as we head out to do Moab and the mighty five in the next few years. We loved our visit home, of course seeing Violet was the added bonus! Thx for watching, safe travels to you as well! ❤️~Lareka

We had a great trip back and we got to sneak in added time with our granddaughter. Thx for coming along with us! ❤️~Lareka

Thx for the suggestion! We are def planning on going back in the next few years. Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

You Packer fans are so dedicated! We don’t know what that is like in AZ, we are such a transplant state that most ppl cheer for the visiting team! It’s sad! Enjoy the warmer weather! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

😅

That is awesome! We really enjoyed our time there. My past volleyball player loved going to school and playing for them. Lots of graduates from AZ love to go there because it is a great school and close enough to home! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

We agree with going a little bit more off season. When we go back we will be doing that! Monument Valley is so cool, I wish it was clearer the day we went, but ya know….weather! Ha! The whole reservation deal with the parks is crazy. You really have to plan unless you hit those off hours. We can’t wait to do Mt Rainier, really Washington State. Thx so much for your kind words. I like to chalk just as a hobby. It’s not great, but it makes me happy! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

I am excited for you to get to see ALL the places! It is truly amazing! Thx so much for watching! ❤️~Lareka

Thx for the suggestion, I bet there are some great stories and interesting facts in that book! We were so impressed with Arches. And like many places we’ve been to, we are already planning to go back! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

We def want to do Deadhorse. Admittedly we did not give Canyonlands enough time. Would have loved to do some hikes…next time! I have heard that about the north rim of The Grand Canyon. We will keep that in mind when we go! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

Thank you! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

Thanks! The wagon is super helpful, we love ours! ❤️~Lareka

So glad you found them helpful! Thanks for watching! ❤️~Lareka

They are beautiful, but def would not be Joel approved! ❤️~Lareka

So interesting how it is a different procedure during different times of the year. It makes sense because of the demand. What if you don’t like any of the three spots I wonder? It is hard for me to imagine how that all goes down. It was so low key and easy when we went. Thx for sharing and for watching! Safe travels! ❤️~Lareka

Really love those hooks, you can do so much with them and they are so clean! The wagon has saved me so many times with laundry! I am jealous of your sand wheels! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

@@RetiredRoadTripping ♥️

I really think the Zevo makes all the difference! Yes, we like our magnet…ha! Safe travels to you as well! ❤️~Lareka

Yes we def love our air fryer. I agree with everything you said! So convenient! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

Yes, we def had just done a Sam’s Club run…ha! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

Of course! I just know how much I loved getting ideas from everyone else, so why not share?! I believe the Zevo’s are for inside use only. We have never used them outside. I feel like the sticky refill would fill up really fast which would be expensive overall. Just my opinion. They work great inside tho! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

Thx so much for coming along with us! ❤️~Lareka

@@RetiredRoadTripping you're welcome

We love our family traditions! ❤️

Agree! ❤️

We don’t know anything about hiking poles? Do they make that big a difference? Which ones do you suggest? Thx for the suggestion and for coming along on our journey! ❤️~Lareka

We have a F-350 DRW. Our RV is a 2022 Vanleigh Beacon 42RKB fifth wheel. It is made by Tiffin. How exciting you are getting ready to retire and begin your adventure! It is amazing and life changing! Hopefully we will see you out on the road! Thx for watching and safe travels! ❤️~Lareka

It would have been awesome to go down the canyon where the damn is. I bet it is amazing! We just didn’t have enough time. We will plan for it next time. Thx for the suggestion of Grand Mesa, we’ve never heard of it! We will look into that as well for next time! Thx so much for watching! ❤️~Lareka

Hi guys! We loved our time at these places. They were breathtaking! Ouray was gorgeous. So many gems in Colorado. We will def be going back! Thx for watching, safe travels! ❤️~Lareka

It was amazing and we highly recommend if in the area! Stay safe! ❤️~Lareka

The history of some of these places is absolutely amazing! Such a treat to go and learn and see the beauty that they hold. Such a gift! ❤️

We didn’t get a chance to check out Telluride. It will be in the list for next time! 😜

The Black Canyon was absolutely beautiful! We are so glad we saw the sign for it. That whole area is wonderful and we did not spend enough time there. We actually talked about going back and staying in Montrose the next time. Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

I don’t believe there is a price difference because you get to pick your spot. I am not sure if the price goes up in the winter because it is prime season? I do know however that it is crazy busy! We enjoyed our time at TTO, but still not sure if we would do it during the prime season? Prob not! Thx for watching! ❤️~Lareka

Colorado is beautiful and we haven’t even scratched the surface. It’s funny how we put up the state stickers like they’re completed, but we could go back to every state. There is so much to explore! Ledges are scary, especially that high up! Beautiful, but scary! Thx for watching and safe travels to you! ❤️~Lareka

​@@RetiredRoadTrippingoh yes when we lived in Wyoming we went to Colorado a couple times and it was beautiful and we agree still only scratched th surface. Totally agree so many states are so large you would need a nice month to explore each one and some are so big. We look forward to having more time for sure!! 😊 Hopefully we meet up!😊

So many gems in this amazing country. We have loved exploring and finding them! Thank you for coming along! It’s been awesome! ❤️~Lareka
