I'm a OTR truck driver, I love driving when I get paid to do it but when I get home you have to force me at gun point to drive to Walmart in my personal vehicle!😅😅
lol thats funny
I drove several million miles as a OTR Driver and I know exactly what you mean been there done that. 😂👍🏼
Classic case of "the cobbler's sons have no shoes". The list is endless, mechanics drive junky cars that breakdown all the time, plumbers have leaking pipes. Heck I even saw an electrician at his house sweeping once.
Mike, I can’t believe you didn’t stop where they were moving “stone” from that landslide!
😊@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans
Sure nice the two of you guys got some time together!!! Your a beautiful couple and enjoy each other!!
IN State Trooper: “You’re in a heap a trouble boy!” “Here’s your warning”😂🤗
I liked the little trip down the cow path! When we travel, we have a destination but never travel the same way twice and love traveling back roads. It is truly an amazing country! It’s good to see you get to enjoy it!
You guys make me smile sometimes. In America, You drive for four hours. You are still in the same part of the country.
UK: You drive for two hours. The local accent has changed twice. Bread rolls have a new name.
You are so correct . As a young man i drove from Leicestershire to Cromer ,then to Wales and from there to Glasgow. By the time i got home i was confused about the English language .
True enough. I was born 150 km nw of Kansas City, raised 150 km sse of Kansas City, college 200 km ne of home, grad school 120 km me of Houston, first job 2000 km east of there in SC, second posting back at my college, retired to NC. Had temporary posting twice in DC and once 100 km SW of Chicago. I mapped those vectors on London as my start, and to live at those spots, I would have had to know 5 languages. Here it’s just minor accent changes. And I’ve only lived in a little less than half the conterminous states. Mind boggling.
@@johnsadler8637I’m amazed that you use km.
I’ve always been amazed there could be so many different accents in such a small area as GB.
@@paulcragg1315 Yeah, I was reinforcing the distances for the European subscribers.
“Buy a lens and get a free kidney” ROFL! Y’all are great, thanks for sharing your trip with us. The views are gorgeous, and the music was perfect.
In 1970, my wife and I travelled from Fredericton, New Brunswick via Quebec and Ontario. Crossed over to the US at Port Huron, across Michigan , got on the old car/truck/railcar ferry to Manitouoc, Wisconsin , drove through Minnesota to ND- Badlands, then south from Rapid City , down and west to Casper, Wyoming . Then north to Yellowstone National Park -lots of snow n May, tyhrough the park then north to Alberta . Final leg was through the Crows NestPass on to Vancouver and Victoria. I was heading for my 1st job as a Forest Engineer. But that’s another adventure.
I love going on long road trips with my wife but we always love coming back home with a renewed energy and inspiration. There's no place like home as Dorothy from the Wizzard of Oz said. 😂👍👠
❤ my sister & husband finally heeding my wishes. Don't wait to enjoy your life. While you have your health Travel & Enjoy, tomorrow is promised nobody. God's blessings always 🙏 🕊
Yes this old country boy figure this out with my disease Traveling it’s just not fun even three hours on the road is almost too much
I did a trip out west last august on my bike. 9 states, 4300 miles, 4 national parks, in 14 days. It was a blast. I love the rockies.
You lived my dream. The best way to see country is on a bike. The experience is incredible. Hate the rain though.
And you survived ALL the idiots??? My friend, you had a blessed trip. 🙏🙏
@@davidmorse8432 i didnt ride in very much rain. It was near freezing most mornings, but i dont mind the cold. I rode thru the bighorn mountains on my way home, and it had just snowed there like 2 days before i passed thru. It was an awesome trip, and i would do it again in a heartbest.
@@ronallen6578 I sure did. I never ride any faster than my guardian angel can fly.
@@bradwatters996 What kind of bike did you ride?
As a retired truck driver with just over 40 years on the job I enjoyed your trip ... and your music choice was fantastic
What a awesome adventure !!! Thanks so much for sharing y'all !!!
Glad you had a great trip and welcome back home.
Sounds like an amazing trip! It's not about the destination, its about the journey. And just think, that new camera len$ i$ capturing pricele$$ memories!
Great video of vacation across the Northern route of the US. Our former next-door neighbors have bought raw land in Idaho, not far from Canada. They will build in the next couple of years.
In your intro, the Super-Duty off roading, I thought WooHoo, here we GO. Awesome.
Mike! Just saw an article where West Virginia passed NO sales TAX on ammo and pew pews.
I live in Wyoming and the wind always gets me. Into the wind on a trip. Into the wind coming home.
We loved our trip to Yellowstone several years ago, planning on going back again soon!!!
Mike, so glad you both had a great time and a break away from your home hussle-bussle. Another thing your mileage would probably have been better but noticed your speedometer seemed to hit 80 mph if I read it correctly. I drive a Ford F250 diesel and I notice a great difference if I am driving 60 to 65 (good mpg) versus 70 to 80 mph plus the wind as you mentioned makes a pretty big difference for sure. Thanks for taking us along!!! J.R.
On My old 99 F350 with the Real 6 speed, If I keep the Tach below 2k, I average over 19 MPG's
Wind, grade, elevation and fuel quality can really change your MPGs. Elevation can also cause an engine to run a little hotter. We go out West at least once per year. Wyoming is my absolute favorite !!!
Thank you! My kind of trip!
Thanks for sharing your trip with us!
It is great that you two can share time like this.
Was in Lacrosse with the better half a few years ago. There is a scenic overlook of the Mississippi River. While there there were eight or nine bald eagle flying on the thermals just yards away from us. Stunning and amazing. Saw a bald eagle on the sidewalk in Two Rivers, WI yesterday morning while taking my granddaughter to school. It was hanging out in front of a shop that claims to be the inventor of the ice cream sundae. It couldn't have anything to do with the roadkill in the middle of the street could it?? Nah, gotta be the sundae. Way cool too. Never thought I'd see one of those majestic birds that close.
It looks like an awesome trip! We love it out there, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, S. Dakota, Idaho, etc. It is so much different than here in the east. Beautiful pictures! It's always great to be Home!
We have been to most of those places since 1978 when we moved to South Dakota. Left there in 1987 for our original home of Indiana. Been west many, many times since.
Glad you got to see my state, SD. Also it's refreshing to hear someone give the actual truth in mpg on a pickup. Side wind is the worst on fuel mileage now hook a 32' triple axle gooseneck behind with 20 k of big round bales and you will appreciate 18....lol. Love the videos.
Hi Mike and Mellisa! Talking about Chamberlin South Dakota. We have trailered our horses out to Custer State Park and camped at the French Creek Horse Camp and Elk Haven Camp many times and on our way out and back we stay at Chamberlain, north end of town there is an arena that I believe is owned or taken care of by a local horse group. Anyway, EVERY time and I mean every time we have camped there it has stormed big time, and the next day it clears up and we have had beautiful days. We have never stayed there that it didn't just about drown us out, lightning, high winds, and powerful downpours of rain. One of the storms actually blew over their small grandstand and we were parked about 15 feet from it and it fell within two feet of our three-horse slant with living quarters horse trailer. Horses were fine and so were we. Thanks again for taking us along and bringing up memories! J.R.
It is nice to see out west. I got to say grass and trees are my love. The wind blows enough here, but it's warm, at least. When I was a teenager, we went to Washington state. We went up in the mountains. it's hard to breathe for a low lander.
Did a similar trip last summer. out through bad lands and Devils Tower, then down through Casper and on to Salt Lake City. Our trip home's first day was from Provo Utah to Lincoln NE. A month ago, drove from NE Iowa to Apache Junction AZ. 14 hrs first day. Drove both trips the entire way and loved every minute of it.
Mike and Melissa,just what the doctor ordered a little time out for rejuvenating the body and mind glad the both of you had a enjoyable trip 😮😊❤
I'm glad y'all had a safe trip and had a good time!
The Badlands is such a spiritual place. It just takes my breath away.
Topeka, Kansas to near Hershey, PA. Just over 19 hours. Last three hours on the Turnpike, wifey was slightly delirious. She finally fell asleep at the Susquehanna, 10 miles from home. She was less than happy when I woke her up ten minutes later.
I haven't driven like that since I was a kid but I loved it.
Glad you had a good time.
I'm so glad you had a wonderful & safe trip out West and I truly appreciate your kind words about West Virginia. West Virginia is a beautiful State and I love it here.
Say "Hey" to Hunter and the rest of the family. 😊
Thanks!!
Mike And Melissa!! Thourly Enjoyed The Video!!
Such A Beautiful God's Country We Live In !!
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️
Wow what a great trip and buy the sounds you had a great time nice to see you home. ❤❤.
Mike, I think you drove through my area of Wyoming, because I recognize the Wind River Canyon and the 3 consecutive tunnels, also the Big Horn Moutain crossing over and through a small town called Ten Sleep??? Rember Wyoming, home of NO State Income Tax and only 5% sales Tax, very reasonable property taxes, guns are owned by responsible people and we love and respect all of our beautiful Wildlife. Quite different than Taxsylvania
The Canter was perfect background music!!
I hope when you both retire, you can take all of the extended trips, to discover this beautiful Nation.
Safe travels !
One of my favorite movies started “ Devils Tower” , “ Close Encounters of the Third Kind “
I love trips out west in the same areas. Glad you had a great and safe trip. Welcome home!
Cool trip! My dad worked at a Sinclair gas station in the 60s. Didn't realize they were still around. - Tim
Yep, as a lifelong mountaineer, I totally agree. Been up north and out west a few times. There is no place like WV. Absolutely love it! 😊 Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Your experience is certainly nominal with the Ford 6.7. My 2015 manages mileage of 20-ish over all on the road, varies a bit with speed, wind, and load, and then 17-18 at home close to Ft Worth. Two comments caught my ear. The first regarding passing the truck: "i punched it to get around". Folks simply cannot believe the performance of these trucks, especially on the highway with a head of steam. A few more seconds and you'd blow by 100 before you even thought of it.
The second comment was "These trucks are made for the road"... Yes Sir!! They rank high among the last of classic American cruisers.
Yours was a great trip. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.
We make an effort to go west on the motorcycle every few years. We love it out there. If you like Idaho so much have you been across Lolo Pass? US 12 out of Missoula, MT. Absolutely gorgeous.
Got new seat covers and came with a neck pillow that attaches to the headrest. It was a where have you been all my life moment
Good Tuesday morning Mike, Melissa and family. Hope you’re recovering from your long road trip, and settling back in. Have a productive day!
Good morning! Getting back at it, morning after we got back I was ready to rip and tear, then the next morning I was a little sluggish lol,
Great trip. Thanks for taking us along.
SURE BEATS FLYING
Just realized Melissa has a Kinzua Bridge shirt on. Very cool! That's only 45 minutes from where I live.
Oh cool!
I love the bridge
Nice to see Yous' enjoy a mini get a way.Wind and speed sond like they made the super duty work outside of it's sweet spot.
The beauty of that part of the country is astonishing. Imagine living there. Wow.
You were in some great and beautiful areas of the US. The route you took from Driggs to Livingston is spectacular. So jealous. ! Happy you enjoyed yourselves. Driving is so much better.
Thank you for the great video and welcome home.
Hope you enjoyed your break and thanks for sharing . Great scenery . 👍😀
Looks like Norway, thank you.
BIG SKY COUNTRY out west ... I love it out there
It was nice to see you visiting my neck of the woods. We live in Idaho Falls, Idaho, but also have a cabin in Island Park, Idaho. I love wildlife photography and know Yellowstone Camera store well. The owner of that store is a friend of mine. They also own Perfect Light camera store in Idaho Falls. Chris's classes on photography are great and I would recommend them highly. I have been a photographer forever and still go to Chris's classes.
Hay Mike crazy man from Montana some of the picks this is called gods country and i live in it i see this everyday off of my porch love it have a great day crazy man from Montana 🌲💪🌲👍😁
When the video first started rolling. I said, itll be hard to be the West Virginia property. Im glad you got to get away. Im sure itll be double time around the wood yard for awhile.
I’ve watched this video 3 times already. Beautiful!
So glad you had that time together. That’s a special trip. Hope you have many more.
Great to see you two got some time away. Elkhart is our favorite trip so much so we do it 3 times a week. We haul campers back to NY. 11 hours out and 11 hours back. Out and back in 24 hours.
Boy there are lots of campers in Elkhart
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans 85% of all campers are made in a 25 mile radius. It’s amazing how much business is done there.
Good morning Morgans and good people, from the Villages Florida. We are replacing the carpets in the bedrooms with LVP flooring in our vacation home. 62 in a 45 via the heads-up display, been there done that. Lol😅
Beautiful scenery, hope to do it some day too. 🥰
Springtime in the Rocky Mountains equals wind and snow. My kids have had their last day of school cancelled at the end of May due to blizzards a few times over the years.
Good morning from North East Nevada. We have those high speed limits out here, along with the wind. 18 mpg is pretty good considering the wind and increased speeds you were traveling at. It wasn't that long ago that a heavy duty pickup got around 10 mpg on a good day!
GOOOOOOOD
MAAAAAAAAWNIN EVERYONE from an absolutely gorgeous morning here in Virginia Beach!!..So Mike about that EXPENSIVE CAMERA LENS 😂😂😂…Thanks for Sharing glad yinz had a great time.
Have a day
HELLOOOO Hunter 😊
Same here, just perfect out
Same in NCNC!
That camera lens will always hold it's value as long as you take care of it. Awesome pictures taken with it. Looked like a great trip.
Looks like you had a super trip! I bet the construction you passed brought back memories. Have a day!
Very Nice Video Morgan family, very visually enlightening for someone who dwells in the deep south. TY!
No disrespect, but your wife still has it going on! Lucky man. Your truck looks great too.
Thank you
I traded in my new ford 350 for a gmc 3500 , what a difference, the ford was a nicer looking truck with more features but rode like a stagecoach, my gmc is like driving a car pulling the mini
Cool 😎👍🏼 Glad y’all had some leisure time away!
Morning Mike, hope you enjoyed the trip, lets check it out
Pete 🇨🇦
Mike, 18 mpg at 80 mph into a stiff head wind is great mileage for your truck. If you watch your instantaneous mileage gauge at different speeds you will see a continuous decrease in mpg as your speed increases. This likely starts at around 45 mph where wind has a bigger effect. Your truck is not very aerodynamic. More aerodynamic vehicles see this drop in mpg at higher speeds. My Camry mpg starts dropping at around 60 mph.
good job!....always nice to get back home!
Great trip. Glad you had a great time. Always appreciate getting a little love from you toward West Virginia. You see now why it's Almost Heaven West Virginia.
Yeah you got that right that wind was horrible this week. Try with 44000 lbs in a reefer . Had a head wind north boind from Colorado into Wyoming. Was over 50mph id say and wow fuel mileage dropped to 3 miles per gallon till i headed east with a tail wind gave me 15 mpg.. yeah in a semi...
We did a similar trip 2 years ago pulling our fifth wheel about 5500 miles. Fill ups were painful as diesel was close to $6 per gallon in some states. Fuel bill was close to $1800.
Glad you got the camera lenses, I am sure she is going to remind you, like for the rest of your life!!!!
😂
As a non American - but having been a lot of places over there - I would say Montana is beautiful and diverse. Mountains, woods and some open land.
I would have kept going through South Bend too
Hunting out here in CO took a forest road to trail to jeep trail to washout like you just kept going down got to the highway but the gate was chained so didn't want to drive back the way we came so we found a fencepost that had wire wrapped around it not nailed to it so we took it apart drove through and then put it back together as we did not want to be blamed for letting his cattle out. lol Went to a Mtn Man Rendezvous and ended up shopping like you and Melissa. Only I did buy a gun black powder but since it was a semi custom made in the likes of a Lancaster rolled steel barrel flinchlock (Mike will understand) 54 cal. full stock and yet my wife acted just like Melissa does with your camera lens, go figure!! I didn't get the kidney either! 😁 My 2016 F250 Super Duty gets about 14 to 16 mpg about 280 to 300 around our area from the country to South Metro area South of Denver. Some of the tunnels you went thru looked familiar and can remember many years ago going to Yellowstone and Devils Tower. Had a friend who was the Admin Officer of the park at the Tower, had to watch out for ticks and fairly aggressive little buggers came crawling over the floors of his cabin. The rest of the trip felt like they were crawling on me the whole time after. Yuck! But at least you had fun and seemed to have a great time.
So many places I have also enjoyed.... and hope to do so again! I also do all of the driving as I am a horrible backseat driver. Guess it is from all of the miles I used to drive for work. Thought of you at the road work site, but I did not see any rock drills so I guess the excavator was able to handle it.I always enjoy seeing equipment that I have sold parts to... anyway glad you are home safe and sound.. Both of you feel better asap.
It will be great when President Trump's face is on Mt Rushmore.
Lots of beautiful scenery and wide open country. Glad you guys had a great trip and made it home safely!👍❤️
WOW around the world better than me,good to see y'all are safe!
Saw Melissa drinking something, after drinking my well water for 39 years I bought a inexpensive drinking water dispenser , again WOW what a difference my water is as good as 25 yrs ago. Be safe
The protector u put on the back window is the chefs kiss on that truck. Looks great.
Great trip we have been out there a couple on times I am a big ford guy and one trip back we hit big cross winds it cut the mpg down by 3 mpg on my 2021 f250 diesel.
Ouch
Thanks for coming out to my side of the United States. I’m in Arizona. I was a sales rep back in the 80s and Idaho Wyoming and Montana was my territory and I loved the drive. I would make up through from Utah up through Idaho and Montana. It was so fun and beautiful, glad you made it back safe
Awesome trip thank you for taking us along and thank you for the video
Love going out there. My wife and I took our 2021 Silverado out west in 2022. 6,500+ miles, and it was so comfortable. Those new trucks are amazing. Can't wait to get back. BTW--That's a northern Oriole singing his little heart out at the 3:29 mark.
Great video, great trip, and great camera lens. Pictures were super! I wish I had known your route and schedule. I live in Sioux Falls, SD and you passed by on I-90 which is on the north side of the city. I live on the very southern border of the city so you were only about 10 miles from my home. I would have offered to buy you lunch and you could have used a break about then coming from La Crosse. Just a tidbit of local info- Chamberlain is not
Chamber-lane. It is known as Chamberlun. I used to be an avid walleye fisherman and we fished a lot at Chamberlain. Next time you pass by Sioux Falls, think about my free lunch offer. I watch every video and look forward to each one.
I have done a similar trip two times in the last two years.
On both trips, my passengers wanted to see things.
We left the interstate after we got out of Ohio. We did the entire trip out and back on state roads.
That is the way to travel!
MPG - Did you know the MPG estimates on New Vehicle Window Stickers are NOT tested at normal highway speeds??? They are actually tested at 48 MPH, which is why Manufacturers tell us 'Your Mileage May Vary' as not everyone drives at that speed. Weird trivia I learned when I sold cars.
Lovely pics. Brings back memories of cross country trips.
Glad you two had a good trip. Brit here so a long drive for me is 3-4 hours. l've travelled a bit and l agree that one of the pleasures is meeting people, almost all of whom have something to teach me.
You were within about 20 miles of my house in NE Indiana. Elkhart is less than an hour away. I used to be way into Nikon camera gear. I never did get to that size lens. I was always amazed at the people that thought their phones were cameras. It sounds like you had an enjoyable vacation.
Not Chamberelane, It's Chamberlin, SD and the pic you showed was Dignity. Glad you enjoyed your trip! 😄
Douglas Fir is also known as Red Fir. Some of the best burning firewood.
The bears are a thing of the past in Yellowstone Park Im comparing to 25 to 35 years ago go
