- Our Thor Class C Magnitude had a nice break in Wrangell, Alaska. But sadly, it's time to head back NORTH to Alaska! Is this wrong? Everyone else in RV's is heading in the other direction! What are we doing?
Taking our Class C motorhome to Alaska the Last Frontier so we can get to some remote areas and drive on roads less traveled. We visit the Kroeschel Wildlife Center and Dezadeash Campground in the Yukon as we travel back north to Alaska.
We get nervous because we see a Van Lifer or Van or RV Van or Van Life wrecked on the side of the road. Not sure how serious it is but there was no one there. The Yukon is nice but we must get to Anchorage and the KP. We also want to see another Bore Tide! Those are just cool. A visit to Kathleen Lake to compare the frostlines, the snow is coming down the mountains!
We've been planning this Alaska RV road trip for over a year and we're doing it. Enough talk, let's walk! Well...we'll drive but you get the picture.
One last ride on the ferry with a stop in Sitka which we have always wanted to visit. I guess 2 hours will have to do!
Our RV is a Thor Magnitude so we hope it survives but the views are magnificent, awesome and stunning so the trip is a once in a lifetime event.

RV Camping
We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.
We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to UA-cam channels Suite Travels and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks and believe it or not, I actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well.
Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in our discovery of What's Next.

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.
Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.
Vehicles:
2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
2019 SpaceCraft Custom built semi-trailer 5th wheel "Orion"
2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"
Power system:
3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
2- 4K watt 240v Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our LG Mini split HVAC and stove
Coachnet is our roadside assistance company we use but hopefully we don't use them too often. LOL
We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.

The first snow on the mountains is called termination dust, indicating the end of summer.
Thank you, Katrina. That is very good info. 👍
Appreciate your fun wholesome videos. They and you are a joy. It’s so relaxing because there is nothing controversial. Just pleasure in sharing in your adventures! 💕
Thank you. Our life on the road... we try to make it fun for us since we're living it! 😆 Glad you enjoyed it.
@@bigtruckbigtravels and you do make it fun with lots of laughter and a touch of silliness. You are so well matched as a couple, and the fun side just shines through 😅
David your quick wit makes me laugh!!!
Thanks, Kris...I skirt the edge of getting in trouble sometimes...but life's a blast so we just keep chugging.
You never disappoint us with yet another amazing video. Your photography and videos are just beautiful and love all your music choices. ❤️
Wow, thank you, Melinda! We're glad to have you along on the journey.
I had a big smile this whole episode. Thank you for spotting sailing yacht M5. Awesome.
It's a beautiful yacht. Couldn't believe the plane on the back! Trying to convince Sondra that the next Alaska trip needs to be via the sea....hmmm....🤔😁😎
In 2003 on our 40th we cruised the inland passage. Starting in Glacier Bay and stopping at Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan. It is hard to believe it was more than 20 years ago. You both are bringing back memories. Wish we were with you. Enjoy while you’re young enough to do it. God bless.
Thanks, Bob. That's cool and we're excited to have you along on the journey. We love it when our video's bring back memories. Thanks for sharing.
“Interesting” guide at the “interesting” wildlife tour. Alaskan views are spectacular 😊 Yrs back we had an RV (for a short time believe me) we named it “mouse house”. It was actually written off. Thanks for supporting us buying gas. Enjoy journey….❤ 🇨🇦
He was very "interesting". Glad to support our northerly neighbors on the fuel "situation". LOL
👍 It is so relaxing watching your videos! You really do an awsome job with your videos!
Thank you so much 🤗Glad you enjoy them.
Sondra your amazing with a mouse sighting. I would scream and run away.
She was diving in for certain...she wanted to feed it! yuck!
My husband and I are so enjoying your videos. Your photography and comments are the best! You have footage comparable to National Geographic!
We just got our first rv and look forward to those traveling adventures. But we are not bold enough to conquer Alaska. Thanks to you we have enjoyed the ride along! ❤
Glad you like them! RVing is fun with the right mindset...and knowing what you want to accomplish as RVers. As you get comfortable, you never know where the path will lead....

Hey guy's...good video... Excellent drone shots... The sunsets are beautiful.... Make plans for the rally in Hutchinson Kansas... Hope to see you guys sometime... Stay safe...J&A
Thanks J&A, we're going to try and make it to the Friday (day & potluck that evening). Appreciate your comments and watching the channel. Travel safe, see ya!
Thanks for contributing to our healthcare expenses here in the land just north of summer.
Lol... we're big contributors this summer in the land just north!
I love your videos! You both are just super fun to hang out with. Thank you for taking me along with you. Drive carefully and see you on UA-cam!
Our pleasure! We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Spectacular footage
Great video content, views, drone footage! The wildlife show tour was funny and interesting, with good interaction of the tour guide and the wildlife. Safe travels!
Thank you very much! It was lots of fun. Appreciate your comments.
It’s certainly been wonderful following your adventures…thank you for showing us some of the out of the way places…absolutely gorgeous places…that island with such warm water compared to the other areas in Alaska…and the bears…wonderful…stay safe stay blessed…
Appreciate the comments. Excited to have you along on the journey. It's a lot of fun for certain and we've seen some amazing locations and sights so far...but we're not done with Alaska just yet...
You guys brought back my memories of our first trip to Alaska in 2021 with the grandson. Hankering to go back.
Great memories, Ellen. I'm sure it was a lot of fun taking him along. We have three so not sure we'll get that chance... but you never know!
You guys are doing Alaska the right way! I spent a couple weeks in AK and I knew that I had barely even scratched the surface. I would love to do at least two to three months. I’ve always heard that there are only two seasons in Alaska, winter and road construction.😁 Thanks for the video!👍
🤣😂That sounds about right! Thanks
Always an adventure with these two - thanks!
Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone and to give back to the RV community.
I am not able to take credit for these but having owned both can relate. Ford = fix or repair daily and Jeep = just empty every pocket. Cheers !
Lol...I knew about FORD but didn't know the JEEP acronym until a friend of ours mentioned it earlier! Lol
The continuation of a great journey!!
Thank you. We're loving this Alaska journey. It's awesome. Glad you're along on the journey. 😊
We put Irish Spring on tire tops. Mice stay out of truck.
That's a great suggestion, Peter. Thank you.
Great video and terrific shots from the ferry. The videos are relaxing…
Glad you enjoyed it, Keenan. Thanks for the comment. Hope you are doing well.
You do a good job of showing Alaska that few of us will ever see. Thanks for that. David you still need work on your standup routine.
Thanks so much! I need to keep my "day job", right?!? I'll work on better "stuff" for my bit. LOL.
Great video! I can't wait to see the next one! Safe travels 😊
Thank you! 😃Working on it now. Should have some great shots!
Bravo to you guys attempting to go north again. I LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing! Photography and drone shots awesome as always!! You guys are great story tellers!
We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey. Thanks for being a part of the story.
What a great video, im getting cuaght up and probably not watching in sequence. But man, i can't beleive this video.
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! The videos are in sequence of how we travel and it's just a weekly type of schedule. 😊 thanks
Love the idea of taking the ferry cruise. Best of all would be that cool island at the end.
Yes, the ferry was neat but Wrangell was an unexpected jewel. We loved it!
Once again, amazing video. The scenery was incredible. Thanks for
The ride along😊🌟
Glad you enjoyed it, Mary. We love to see new sights. Glad you're along on the journey.
We just got back from closing of barkerville season and remember it’s 3 weeks till snow tire season in BC 🎉have great week
Lol...3 weeks and counting! We plan to cross on the last day!
Great Video, I agree with David I don’t like vehicles that talk back to me
No kidding, right?!?
Looks like you are getting sad to leave. Like the surfers Enjoy all the footage Beautiful
We realized the other day, Debra, that our Alaska trip is coming to a close in a few weeks. It's been fun and we are sad to think that it's going to be over in the next month. Great memories!
Beautiful scenery, makes me want to go camping there with the family.
The 5lb lost is actually from no Whataburgers!
I hope the mouse is gone, always scary with the extra food you brought with you. I totally understand why you did though. For what you saved bringing it from the lower 48, I would have used clear air tight totes.
LOL...that's a valid point about the Whataburgers! But I'm not telling Sondra! LOL
By far my favorite Vlog😊 I’m an criter lover! OMG
You're in the right place for critters! We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.
Thanks for sharing 😊
😀😎🤙
Another great video! Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Thank you, Kathy for hanging in there and watching the channel.
Great job you two ! It won't be to long before you will be headed south. Time fly's and you have provided us all with a wonderful trip to Alaska. Many thanks.
Thank you. A few more trips before we head south... but we're definitely heading south! 😆
6:42 interesting, when we took Columbia from Wrangell to Sitka in late June, we arrived at 8am and didn’t leave until 11am. There were buses waiting for us to go into town for 90 minutes. Odd your times were that different.
I think because there is no cross gulf ferry this year, the Columbia has some odd schedules to the other communities and no two weeks are the same. That would have been great if we had that opportunity.
happy to watch your fantastic video 😄
Thank you so much 😀
I'm a truck driver we don't pronounce diesel exhaust fluid as you door slammer do. You say D E F, we say Def. Just a single word. Enjoy your channel ❤❤
Thanks, Susan. Glad you enjoyed it. I've heard it both ways but Def makes sense. Appreciate your comments.
all the way from south africa love you guys , be safe and many happy km
Wow. Thank you. We have got to get down there!
You two are such a delightful couple to watch. The scenery is fabulous. I've been enjoying your Alaskan trip immensely.
Thank you so much!
We're done with our job at the Valdez KOA. We drove to Tok today!!! Loved seeing your footage! Safe travels to you all!!!
Thank you. Sorry that we did not hook up but hopefully, somewhere on the road we can get together. I hope your season in Valdez was great. Love that area.
Honestly the best vloggers showing so much of Alaska, love it and thanks guys you are great
Wow, thank you! Really glad you're along on the journey. 😊
Well, we just watched another exciting adventure of your trip! You never disappoint! Your drone footage is spectacular!! And the scenery is absolutely gorgeous!! But I have yo say that the mouse in your camper; that freaked me out!! I DO NOT like mice! Yuk. I put all kinds of smelly things in my fifth wheel, from dryer sheets to things that are supposed to repeal mice. So far, I have been fortunate lately to not have any in the camper! Watch, now I will find one the next time we get the camper out. We are done camping for the season. 😢
Enjoy & have safe travels.
LOL...I'm with you on that one. Don't care for mice in the least. We've been fortunate in 8 years to only have had one other mouse incident and that was when we left our trailer sitting for a month while we were traveling with our daughter.
The animal adventure you had looked like a lot of fun, looks like they also do movie filming there. Stay safe and healthy.
Yes, fun and very unique!
Remember the exchange rate is in your favour CDN vs US $. :-). Love the video as always. David you're a great editor. Making me need to get back to AK.
The exchange rate is the one saving grace on the fuel situation...but it's OK since we knew what to expect. Appreciate your comments and watching the channel.
Oh I loved that Wildlife tour!!! That tour guide!! Fun and funny! What a character!!🤣😂
Glad you enjoyed it! He was definitely a character!
OMG thanks again so much for the amazing images and scenery! Very appreciated and keep travel safe! Can’t wait for next week! Love you so much!❤️🥰🇨🇦👍
Glad you like them! Thanks. See you next week.
What a great adventure it is for you and for us too! We had such a good time in Alaska that already, despite the difficult roads and what it does to your rigs, we would go back…if it was closer to home (Province of Quebec, across the continent!!!) 😂 Thank you for the amazing vues and the pictures…we have quite a few to sort through when we get back home, sometimes in the next few weeks… Good luck on the way down! BTW, the Alcan from Whitehorse to Dawson Creek is in real good shape - brand new pavement! Remi, the French men 😊
Merci, Remi. We are enjoying the trip immensely this summer but it is sadly winding down. Not sure how we will travel back to the lower 48. Depends on the wildfires but appreciate your info on the ALCAN to DC.
Fun video and lots of good travel info along the way. Glad you're able to see and experience so much. Cheers! Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel.
Great video, as always!
Glad you enjoyed it, Phyllis. See you next week.
I feel a bit sad that your great Alaskan adventure is coming to a close. It's been a great pleasure to travel along with you both!
Thanks Carol, we're a little sad as well...but we have another excursion up our sleeve...and possibly two...hmmm...
I’ve been to the “wildlife center” at Mosquito Lake in the winter… I took a group of photographers there for the lynx and wolverine. We spent several hours there and got frostbite on 2 fingers!
Oh, man! That's terrible!
Okay, I'm traveling to Alaska just for that spirited show of a tour🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
LOL, Tanya, it was definitely spirited! I like that description!
I paused the video right on your scrapbook layout and studied it because I love this idea so much! Can you tell me what kind of memory book this is, or a little more about it? I would love to journal our travels this way!
I don’t feel so crazy! I did the same thing 😂🤣
It's a B5 Dotted Journal (from Walmart) which Sondra designs each week to track, capture moments and "diary" of what we did that week or month. She will decorate it in various ways including stickers, washi tape and drawing/calligraphy to enhance it's design and appearance. It's called Bullet Journaling. Her and our daughter love it.
Once again, thank you for all your efforts guys. I really look forward each week to your video dropping.
G'Day Mate and thanks for watching Brendan. We enjoy the journey for certain. Hope your "winter" is coming to a close. Summer is around the corner.
excellent video!
Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone and to give back to the RV community.
Dad jokes rock! Love it!
LOL...Thanks, Jody. It's a corny sense of humor sometimes so glad you appreciate it.
My wife and I are really enjoying watching your trip to Alaska. The scenery is amazing and we can tell you are having a Great time.
I was wondering if you could share your reasons for choosing a Class C versus a 5th Wheel or travel trailer.
Our home is a 5th wheel which is towed by a semi-truck and we love that setup. For Alaska and other trips, we wanted a smaller unit to get into more places, 4x4 capable, larger engine/chassis for safety, driving comfort and overall flexibility. We felt like the Class C met all of the criteria. Plus, we will share this rig with our daughter and a trailer wouldn't work with their vehicles.
Love all your videos. Beautiful scenry as alway's. Take care, be safe.
Thank you very much! Hope your summer is great.
Glad yout gonna hit the Top of the world. It will be AMAZING in fall color. Don't forget to spend a few days in Dawson City. The Musium there I'd worth the time too see. All the trailers are hunters out too get their moose for the winter. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.
Thank you! Love Dawson City 💖. Fall colors should be amazing.
Did you get the mouse??? Beautiful country, thank you
So much for taking us along!
Yes, thanks. He "moved out" that night. Appreciate your time watching the channel.
Trailer Season - LOL, yes it is caribou hunting season, and Moose season follows thru Sept.
Ok...that makes sense. We saw the campgrounds on the Taylor and Denali Highways were full with hunters so we figured it was something like that. Thank you for clarifying. Man...they were everywhere!
Moose season opened up on Sept 1st I believe. We saw the same thing on our trip with trailers everywhere.
Yes. Everyone was out!
I so look forward to your videos. Your adventures are amazing. Love how you guys work together. your pics and the drone shots are soo soooo cool. I'd love to know about all the tech you are using on your travels to bring it to us so well. the videos are top shelf and the audio is amazing as well. We just purchased a sv34 Magnitude and you travels are so inspiring. We are in SW FL and honestly don't see us hitting Alaska so THANK YOU for the privilege of coming along on your trip. You guys are GREAT!
Thank you so much. SWFL is a neat area... in the winter! Hope you enjoy your SV34. See you next week!
My Blazer has that stay in lane feature but it also has a switch to turn it off.
The lane assist feature is off but the "driver rest" alert is always on. Grrrr...Needs an "Alaska Mode"!
Thank you for keeping relations good with our dear cousins in the North. Once again just a beautiful place! I thought you were in Canada? Now your in Alaska………so confusing????
Haha... we were but now back to finish our trip. We had to drive to Haines, AK to catch the ferry which meant we had to drive back through Canada. There were no cross gulf ferries this year so Haines was the closest port!
Enjoyed the viedo Irish Spring Soap is supposed to be a rodent and insect repellent. I tried in my fifth wheel and it seems to work.
Great tip! We may try that as well! Thanks 😊
Super video, again. The Wildlife Experience guy is frequently on “The Yukon Vet” tv show. He is a character! Looks like Sondra made a friend. I’m looking forward to seeing your next adventure and possibly another one after that. I have a hunch what is up next. I can’t believe you Alaska trip is almost over and I will be sad when it is over but I know what ever you do next will be just as entertaining, but I do Love Alaska! Enjoy your final weeks and as always, be safe.
Thanks, Christy. It's coming to a close but we may have a few more excursions up our sleeve. Can you guess? We enjoy RV traveling so it will be different after Alaska for sure. Appreciate your watching the channel.
So here is my guess on why you're heading north. You are going to take the ferry from Whittier south and spend some time at some stops but mainly Sitka because you like what you saw on this stop there and it confirmed your plans? Then head south on the ferry to Prince Rupert or Seattle. Am I warm or cold? Loving the travels!!!
That is a very educated guess, Bill. But you are not just cold...but FROZEN. As we might be as well where we are heading in September! I won't ruin the surprise but it's another epic road trip to end our Alaska tour. Great comment though!
I’ve been in Nenana moose hunting so I’m a little behind on your videos. I see u have been enjoying our great state.
hey, did you get one? Thanks for getting caught up!
No luck that trip, will head back out this coming weekend and try again.
another great video Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching the channel.
❤❤
🤩
🎉
😊😁
We've seen the wild life guy on "Dr. Oakley Yukon Vet". He is quite the character isn't he?
He is definitely a "character" and marches to the beat of his own drum, so to speak.
Great as usual! I’m sure the 4 wheeler action is due to a coming hunting season. Either scouting or getting a remote camp ready to go. Just my thoughts. Great job guys. I look forward to it every week.
You are correct, Gary. It's that season now. Thanks.
What a trip. Ya'll are hilarious. David, you are so funny. By the way where did the mouse go? I wouldnt get any sleep until he was out of there.
Me neither!!!
He went under the slide which leads to outside. We had lights on and lots of movement that evening so he skidaddled. Haven't seen him since!
I’m guessing at what your next big adventure will be! I think I know.
OK....Kathy, you'll have to let us know if you are correct. It will be in a few weeks....then we may have another....
You guys are so much fun to watch! We look forward to seeing your next video. Sandra career must have been engineering ! Sandra had a plan for that stupid mouse.
She's an engineer, Rick...She definitely had a plan....
Getting ready for hunting season.
Hey Tony, that's what we figured since there were sooo many at every pull out. Hey, we had moose the other day from some people we met. It was tasty.
Hey Tony, that's what we figured since there were sooo many at every pull out. Hey, we had moose the other day from some people we met. It was tasty.
I guess it was a tuck an roll at Walmart for Sondra . LOL
THANKS
😆 🤣 😂
Oh man! What happened? You fell off the wagon!
Really loving your Alaska adventures. Just wondering: do you have some sort of roadside assistance?
Thank you, Karen. We have Coachnet for roadside assistance.
Would you ever consider a provisioning video? I’m curious how you managed your prepped frozen meals for such a length of time with such a small freezer. Am I missing something?
We're talking about it, Loretta. Sondra did have a unique way of storing all those meals to maximize space. Watch for the next video to give you a future "clue". Thanks for watching the channel. 😁
David, my husband is getting into using a drone. He wanted me to ask you what kind of drone you have. We both love your drone work! Thanks so much. 😊
Hey Jodie- I fly a DJI Mini2 (Costco special in 2022). It has an excellent video quality but no obstacle avoidance or "follow me" type of software. It's compact, under the weight exemption and didn't break the bank.
@@bigtruckbigtravels OMG!! He just purchased a DJI mini 2 SE from Amazon! He’s only taken it out once so far. He really seems to like it tho! He is currently getting a case and more “bells and whistles” for it. Thanks so much for answering!!
Sure glad I have a gas motor in mine but I wish I had 4wheel drive
So far, Tim, we haven't needed it but it does give us a sense of security.
@@bigtruckbigtravels yes I’m sure it does, if I had it I would most likely try to go where no man should😂
Highway construction is a given in all states including Alaska----I have worked on our highway system for over 30yrs and it never ceases to amaze me how upset the traveling public gets when they are inconvenienced by any type of construction---it's always being done to improve safety and flow of traffic---contractors are out there working under stressful conditions ( think being 5ft away from traffic going 70mph )---as much as it is a pain to you---would you change places?? So, even though it was a "just saying moment" I took it as a neggative and very common reply to people who are risking everything to make life better for the traveler----JUST SAYING--to give another perspective on road construction!!!
Very true! Thanks for the different perspective. We appreciate it.
Fuel cost in Haynes American Style 7.82 cad per gallon
Gee, thanks, Andrew. I'm trying not to convert to US....that way I can feel "better" about what I paid! LOL
I’ve been waiting on y’all’s video release.
Oohh! #1...Hope you enjoy it and it was worth the wait!
David an sondra i love your videos
Just want to ask is there anywhere in the lower 48 youve not been to that youd like to go
The UP of Michigan, Oregon/Washington coast, all along the Atlantic seaboard, Outerbanks of NC, etc... There's so much out there we want to see and experience, it's not just a few areas.
It’s called termination dust
OK...good to know. That sounds pretty "final". Appreciate the comment.
Now that you're done (almost) with Alaska ... and now that you have curiosity and have the capability ... will you be heading down to Mexico? You have the smaller RV right? That was one of the main reasons why you bought it right? To go places that you couldn't go in the other rig ... like Alaska AND Mexico .... don't forget!!! I would reccommend watching some videos on what you will need to do so and I would reccomend doing baja first :) Here's a link to a great channel that has a lot of videos on the topic. This video is a compilation of their entire baja trip:
ua-cam.com/video/2SnRcmjgbB8/v-deo.html
Thank you... yes, Baja is definitely on the schedule... just now sure when but it will happen! Thank you. 😊
Did any of the bears come up to where you camped at
We never saw any bears at our campsite, Kat. Cool area. 😎
My main question is how do you operate the drone while you are driving down the highway? Do you pull over so it can land? Or does it have a docking position on your truck?
A docking position would be sooo cool! We pull over to recover it. I fly, Sondra drives.
If a mouse is brave and especially if it runs at cats it likely has leptospirosis. The bacteria takes over the mouse brain and sends it out to be eaten by cats or dogs which then restarts the life cycle for the nasty bacteria. It can be mild to fatal in people and has been suggested as a possibility for the crazy cat lady as many people get the bacteria and change (this is still a ongoing study no proof yet.). It causes miscarriages also. Most health care providers test for it in women if you tell them you are starting a family. If you see brave little mice or rats you should get your pets and you tested especially if you had flu like symptoms as that is what most people experience. Once you are sick the bacteria will get reduced but can come back later and make you sick again, some Doctors ignore it but people have died from it. It is a bacteria not a virus so there are ways to get rid of it if you get it. The youtube videos you see a mouse attack a cat, they very likely have leptospirosis. Pregnant women should not clean a cat litter box because of this bacteria.
If you want to read about it go to the NIH (National Institute of Health), National Library of Medicine, National Center for Biotechnology Information and in the PMC search area search for these letters and numbers all together no spaces. "PMC4574773" A search from google may get you to a link also.
Ok that is some bad stuff!
How do you know it’s a teenage grizzly? Is his room a mess?
He was looking at the girls! 😆
Are there people sleeping in those tents on deck, or what are they for?
Yes. Instead of getting a cabin, they sleep in their tents.
Fascinating. Thank you for answering 😊
Since yall been Travelinghave y'all service Curiosity yet???
Great question, David. We had it serviced (and the generator too) in Fairbanks back in July. They did a great job and we think we'll be able to make it back to the lower 48 before the next one is due (based on mileage).
@bigtruckbigtravels cool that is great. Keep enjoying yalls journey 😊😊😊😊
David doesn’t know how to use a key to unlock a door.
Key? What's a key?!? 😆 🤣
