    (41.4900012, -121.6153345) correct coordinates for Medicine Lake Boondocking. It appears I liked our last Boondocking spot so much that I included those coordinates for this weeks video 😂

      Thank you SO much for adding the GPS to your Boondocking videos. I’m hoping that you plan to do this from now on. Your videos are brilliant-I’m going to go back and catch up on the old ones! At which time I’m probably going to beg you for coordinates 😂

    How you guys doing on your boondocking book? 😁 I am waiting for a copy!! Gorgeous drone footage! Love how the ice crystals sparkle and twinkle like stars! Caves are a little scary but so cool! Amazing scenic footage, as always!

    Here I am visiting some of your older videos. The ice caves remind me what a beautiful world we live in. After a lifetime of exploring and camping I've learned to see the beauty in every environment from harsh deserts to mountains majesty, the simplest prairie has endless wonders.

      I totally agree! If we could have made it just a bit further up that road. There is a glass mountain made of all obsidian! We hope to do a revisit at some point. 😀

      It's pretty crazy that ice remains year around in some of those caves even when it's 100 degrees in the summer ☀️

    Beautiful! Thanks for showing the area at it's finest! And thank you for taking care of Roodle's feet! The ice caves will still be frozen even in the summer. Great places to relax when traveling the lava fields! The entire area was owned by the McCloud River Railroad and the workers, like my grandfather, would use those caves for food storage. There's one cave near your campsite that has an ice slide! You slide down into the darkness and end up in a giant room. Of course you need a rope to climb out and you will get very wet!

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  4 роки тому +2

    Hi, Carrie, Dave, and Broodle. It's Debbie and Lori. We camped next to and met at Miller's Bar at the Chetco on Memorial Day while you and Carrie were cleaning up the trash left by lazy, inconsiderate people.
    We just got to Lori's in Montana today after a Crazy storm in Southeastern Washington.
    We'll be in Glacier. Saw two bear cubs in Whitefish this afternoon frolicking in front of a bank and out into the street. They made it across the street. We were a few miles from Lori's.
    Hope you guys are well. Take care.

We got a pretty good lightning storm at Millers bar that woke us up at 4 am and then rain all day. We still managed to go for a hike on that Redwood trail despite the rain. Today we are heading up the coast a bit. Happy to hear you made it safely back to Montana. We will keep in touch 😀
