Looks like puppy and I will be joining Can-am camping
I love the Best Western breakfast buffet.
So did I, but after number 20 over 40 days, its starting to not age well!
Awesome and Amazing 🙏🏾✌🏾
Geez I love your videos. I dream of this
00:48 Haha! Saddle dancing is the best. :)
It took 5 takes to get that,,,, it was fun..
That's the life
Thanks for the beautiful ride John.
great job
Looks very peaceful and content. Happy trails.
Awesome, that reminds me of the many camps I did with my motorcycle. Shoshone National Forest was my favorite and it too had bear warnings.👌
Thank you for sharing your beautiful surroundings.
Living the dream John! What a beautiful and peaceful area. Looking forward to the rest of your trip and all the camping tips. I’m sure Miriam is on countdown for retirement. Yes, live each day with gratitude and enjoyment. Thanks for sharing this trip with us!
Hope the weather holds for you. Wish we were there. Makes me want to go camping again. Looking forward to how the rest of your adventure goes. Enjoy.
Superb. Coming into winter here. Looking forward to spring sitting out drinking bourbon. Looking forward to day 2.
So glad to see you out camping on the Spyder and hauling all your needs in the trailer. I could see myself doing some portable Amateur Radio op's from your campsite. Enjoy and stay safe.
Great video!! We enjoyed the ride.!now you are in our neck of the woods!! Paul & Magen
We are even considering a van!!
10-4 on a good report!
😃👍
I cross the Hampton roads bridge tunnel every day from Newport News to Norfolk. Summers are terrible.
I'm going to call you Mr. Comfortable 👍 …. great video sir, cheers from Canada.
Having been stationed at Langley, AFB the last 4 years until I retired in 1995 I remember the traffic on I-64 very well. I also remember many beautiful drives on the BRP and Skyline Drive. I'm thinking about trying some camping from my Spyder in the future out west closer to where we live in the Phoenix area. Keep your adventures coming :-)
Hay Randall, I was at Langley from 75-79, I did not know it then, but some of my best years...
John did you leave Miriam at home 🏡 good video 👍
Yep...Miriam likes her pillow top mattress! ;)
Put one more wheel on that thing, and you've got a Corolla. hahaha
Hey John, you forgot to pack Miriam on this trip. 😊
She is still working,,,, I did offer,,, I got a big NO
get new tires today and oil change . and next sunday off to skyline and brp
Get a minimate trailer camper keep all your stuff inside organized
I 64 @ the HRBT is a parking lot. A very dangerous parking lot.
I use to drive tractor trailer and come from NJ down to Rte 13 in DE to Bay bridge & Tunnel to VA Beach. After a stop in VA Beach, I always hated my trip to Charlottesville, because of Rte 64! Just awful, and I have family in Norfolk that I never see because of all the damn traffic in that area. Camping for my wife and I, and the Spyder RT Limited is HIE, BW etc! LOL
There's nothing like sitting around with Mother Nature and enjoying all the beauty that she offers beautiful deer but it would look better if it was on the grill. How were you able to charge all your batteries up there and where was the wifey.🏍🏍🏍
Still working,,,
Hi I love your videos question in a previous video you showed some foldable chairs you take with you do those fit in the fthunk and if they do why are they and where did you get them
Helionox chairs. We got ours at REI. I think you can get them on Amazon
Hey John just wandering what model is your spyder mine is the RT LIMTED 2013 5 speed and 5 gallon tank and loves the fuel about 140 miles is all I get out of a tank of gas your thoughts ..............we are getting ready to come to Shenandoah mountains in couple weeks from Tennessee
We have the 2014 SE6 with a 7.5 gal tank. Its only an issue when traveling through remote areas. We stop every 1 and 1/2 hours anyway, so if we had a 5 gal tank, that would not be an issue.
PS looking forward to seeing you over the 4th.
You know I'm missing something. I saw you on a white can-am. You trade it for a gray one? Been away for some time. I guess life goes on. I purchased 2021 .
Its always been the silver one. We did a rental test run in 2015 (I think) that one was red.
Paid $5.59 gallon in AZ last week near the Grand Canyon
Oh my word!
I've got a new Rav4 hybrid that gets 53 mpg lately so I don't give a crap. My Honda Goldwing gets 42 mpg so again I don't give a crap. Keep fueling up them gas guzzling F150 monsters LOL
Almost right after you talked about keeping a "nice neat tidy campground" because you're in bear country, your very next shot and comment is how your camping stuff gets scattered everywhere which drives you crazy. I earned a long time ago that neat and tidy campsites may be the stretch goal, but accepting a level of organized chaos is the normal result, where at least I know where everything is, kind of like my desk at work.
I'm a couple years away from retirement, but I'm also getting a few things checked off on my retirement bucket list. I bought a Mini Mate camoer this year, upgraded from to a fridge from a cooler (looks like a cooler though), upgraded to a 5 lb propane tank from the environmentally unfriendly 1 lb disposable propane bottles, fridge and propane tank are now mounted to the camper tongue. Acquired a lithium ion power station and a fold up solar pane to charge it, to begin practising how to camp off grid where there will be campsites without services. My retirement bucket list includes travelling to the 4 corners of N. America (not all at once, 4 seperate trips).
This week I unexpectedly checked off another item on my bucket list, I got to meet and ride with Coach Bob and Coach Vic, that was an absolute blast and wonderful day.
Come this November, I'll reach the age where I can purchase a lifetime National Park Pass, for the cost of a normal 1 yr pass, and I have this as an appointment reminder in my phone so I don't forget about it.
Meeting you and Miriam are also on my bucket list. I can't tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate the content you put out, but I am so thankful for folks like you, who brighten up the day for folks like me, and I keep finding more folks like you. Just recently found Purple on Three channel, another couple who make me laugh and are fun to watch.
Thanks, Wayne. Always good to hear from you. You are on our list too! ;). We don’t refer to it as a bucket list any longer as one of our Australian viewers pointed out that it sounds like we will “pop our clogs” after completing it. He had a point there. Prefer to try to cram as many moments of joy into each day as possible. Meeting you would be one of those moments!
Thanks for the channel tip, we will need to check them out,, We love making the content and love meeting other like minded folks,, take care.
That's funny, I like that Australian term, and they oughtta know, cuz they live "down under" 😁
Hi just found your channel. We have owned a Can-Am since 2019 but never taken it out of Florida. Our goal for 2024 is to go on a multi-day road trip. Do you have a video or blog post on what you consider essential gear for long rides? Thank you.
We do, but for the last 5 years we have been using the "Can-Am Freedom trailer". I need to do one for overnights without the trailer.
Hey John!! Looks like a nice trip so far. My wife and I are heading that direction soon. How is the availability of fuel in Virginia? Any shortages, or is it back to normal?
Back to normal, with the one gas station in the park,, I would not count on that one, just in case
Back to normal...no worries
John... nice ride - thanks for sharing.. My question is related to your CanAm GPS. I have the same on my 2013 RT and find it is barely readable in any light at all. Is yours also unreadable in daylight? I think I will just put a mobile phone holder in its place. Again - thanks.. Hope to meet you somewhere along the way.
You may want to play with the settings. I found the same issue on my phone in the sunlight and had no idea I could control this.. Only direct sunlight from over my shoulder is an issue with my GPS, about 5% of the time.
@@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog thanks John. Happy travels
John, could you please list sources for your equipment. Disabled vet here. Cant take much time shopping in stores.
That is easy James. Revzilla.com is a good company, been ordering stuff from them for years. Also Amazon. In reality few retail shops have much inventory. We just ordered new helmets, and check sizing at a local shop, but they did not have the color we wanted, so it was mail order time. For Spyder parts, we use BRP.com for most stock parts. Take care.
Is that a wrist watch or a dedicated motorcycle clock on the left hand bar?What brand trailer do you have ? What gear have you chosen any regrets?
And that sir is a video series. Its a small watch. The spyder has a clock, but its small and its digital. I am old school, I like analog. We have the Can Am Freedom Trailer, works great, 20 CFT of storage. As to gear, its a constantly evolving list of stuff. Planning a video on this with our current gear selection as we move towards our 60 day ride in the spring.
@@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog thanks for getting back so promptly , love your videos, first learned about your blog searching for information on changing the oil on my 17 Spyder after getting blind sided with a $450.00 oil change bill from Seminole Powersports! Wasn’t expecting that! I do my own from now on ! We have a 2017 Spyder RT, I hate to admit how much I have come to love it! I went kicking and protesting the whole way to purchase but friends of ours convinced my wife how much more comfortable it was over my VTX, I have to admit we have come to really enjoy it and are making longer trips . If you’re in the area of Astor Florida give us a heads up we’d love to show y’all some southern hospitality !
@@billarwood1996 Thank you,
Hey where did you get the camp fire logs? At the camping park store?
Yep, they had that and lots of beer and food..
@@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog I'll bet those logs were more expensive than the beer..... lol
What more could you ask for? Beer, food, firewood, sounds like a good time!
What camera do you use on helmet? And looks like gopro on bike
Its a GoPro Hero 3 on the mirror and a Sena Prism Tube on the helmet
@@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog and 64gb memory card?
Hi, Where did you get the phone holder?
Amazon (per John)
Its just a RAM mount, I did a video on how to install it. ua-cam.com/video/zQyF_OLD_Pc/v-deo.html
@@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog dam phone holders are almost impossible to buy in Canada for my Goldwing (that's my rant, have a great day)...... grrrr
Where’s Miriam?
She did not want to participate in my little experiment.
That steak would have been better cooked on the open fire.
Yep, But I had one bundle of firewood. It was 3 hours till take, wanted to pace myself with the campfire..
🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
