Thank you so very much. We certainly have enough experience... but the main thing is live today but plan for tomorrow. Work hard and save more so the future will be easier.
@georgejulien3286 The key word is EARN!!! We busted our butts for 27 years, lived off of a tight budget and saved every dime we could so we could enjoy retirement. 😉
Sondra - you missed a golden opportunity at around 49:43 - "...are you kind of bowled over with emotion now? Did I strike out?" I was waiting for you to say "Spare me" 😁
@@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726 - I doubt I would have been that quick on the uptake in real time. I had the advantage of being able to replay the section to give me sufficient 'I shoulda' said' response time.
If those chickens only knew how many Chester's Chicken pieces you bought, they would have scrammed. LOL Loved the video, and the music was great. Safe travels!
@@bigtruckbigtravels Wow.. is my first time seeing your adventures..I am 74 yrs old & love to go camping in my 1993 Jamboree RV..( love boon-docking) you guys are beautiful people & fun to watch! (Love that cake recipe young lady) Happy travels & God bless you both! (Been to Wyoming.. so beautiful there)
What a great life you are living. Thanks for taking us along. I can't imagine all the hassles of filming and editing, but I look forward each week to catch up on your weekly travels.
Thanks, Doug. We are glad to share our experiences and happy that you are along on the journey. We do it for everyone who enjoys RV life and for our memories as well.
Thank you very much for all the videos you make . I’m French Lady, living in Strasbourg and again, thanks to you, I can travel through this beautiful country in which I lived for three wonderful years (30 years ago) . At that time we were able to visit 26 States. 😊You are a nice couple with a good sens of humor. By the way my son lives in Florida. Don’t change anything, Stay as you are. You make my days….. 😉🤗
@24:38 In regards to the parking spot question, you can see multiple dome cameras mounted on those poles on the right (3 per pole). Either someone is manually looking and updating periodically or there is a system that detects big rigs when they park and the sign updates automatically.
I love that you guys pay attention to the little things, recognize those that give great deals and services, and are so down to earth. It's a real pleasure to watch your videos. ❤😊
If you guys are ever in Eastern Washington, Spokane County, you are most welcome to stay over at our place. We have a loop for the neighborhood, over 150' of frontage and, even though you don't need it, 50 Amp service and water hook up. Dump station is about 10 miles away at a stare park, the same park that borders our neighborhood. There are trails and the lead to the Spokane river. Nice, safe spot!
Cell phone data is real time and is how some of the apps including Google maps have access to GPS and exact location of traffic. If you think about how Google maps knows how busy it is at Walmart or any location is by counting the amount of cell phones in that location/restaurant etc.
I also use gloves some of the hoses out there or just absolutely filthy and I travel day I just don’t feel like being dirty or smelling like diesel fuel❤ be safe in your travels be aware of your hazards don’t ever forget
I would love to watch an episode that includes some of the meals that Sondra cooks then freezes especially her preparation for Alaska. I love your frugality and home made meals just taste better but sometimes I need inspiration to find new ideas. Love your channel!!
You ask how they know how many parking spots are available, it’s called “detect a loops” same thing that controls red lights you drive over one when you pull in and you drive over one when you leave, they can tell how many cars and trucks are there. As well as all the data like peak traffic times and length of stay.
Hi guys!! Beautiful places to stay!! Everybody thinks we're too big to fit in spots with our 42' 5th wheel. But we fit in most places. Hit the road this morning...a day later then planned. Drove past Twin Falls on our way to Idaho Falls today. Will be in Montana at our friends tomorrow. Sondra, I have hot flashes when we get low on fuel. Happened today after hubby said "oh we're fine"!! Safe travels you guys and hope to see you on the road someday!! 💜
David you both talking about the round-a-bout . He you driven on the new intersections that are going to take the place of the round-a- bout . They are mostly on a overpass of a interstate. They are a “x” design an you drive on the wrong side of the road. If you have not an come up on one at night for the first time it will blow your mind. After you have been on one they are great . Also if you are driving straight thru you will be driving on both lanes to get all the way thru it because they are built long . When you were saying a cone for $.75 I thought it was going to say when you was ordering it that is plus the ice cream . I enjoyed this longer video. What beautiful places there are in the US. Thanks
I never would've thought about the pressure deviation in the bed or suction cups, but the truck running different yes. I lived in Gillette WY. For 2 years. It was a big difference for this Cajun 😅
Oh, no … a cliff hanger … I enjoyed seeing your everyday travel life. It was not “boring” as you predicted David. At least not for me who’s whole RVing knowledge comes from you and Sondra. Thanks for sharing your life and the gorgeous videos and photos. Glad Sondra was able to photograph some wildlife. That ground hog or prairie dog was cute! Enjoy your week in Idaho. See you next Thursday!
David....we stopped at Little America two days ago but did not get the ice cream. I believe that Little America was founded in the early part of the 1900's by a traveler that was stranded in a blizzard. As there is no other place within miles of that location he decided to build a safety shelter that has now been greatly expanded. BTW, there is another little america location in Cheyenne.
Love tagging along with you guys!! Thank you for taking us on your adventures!! Can’t wait to see where you park in that campground!😮❤❤❤oh, by the way the drone work is top notch!!❤❤❤
We made a spice cake with Sondra's recipe while watching the video. We had to back up to verify the proportions. We used spice cake mix and cream cheese frosting. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Yay! That's awesome! I love this recipe especially for just the two of us and it's so versatile. I've also added carrots, walnuts, cinnamon, and craisins to a spice cake mix which is good too. 🤩
Nice i had my suspicions. Thank you for that info. Yeh, everything goes out of place in this rig. Thank you both for sharing your travel adventures with us. I was telling my wife that one day when I retire, I'd like to take her - --hopefully my kids that would be grown up by the time I do, to visit these place yall go to. I'm a trucker, so I can only drive by these places but not take in nature's beauty. Stay safe out there, and I'll see yall on the next one.
It's a fantastic goal to have so stick to it. It's a fun way to travel, especially with family, and a lot of beauty out there. Thanks for watching the channel.
Wyoming is so beautiful you guys are lucky. David you got kinda excited about ice cream. I do too but I’m stuck on Blue Bell best ice cream in the world to me.
My hubby and I were owner operator truckers team drivers and left the road in 2013. I’m loving your videos and have been to many of the places you go. Yes! Sapp Brothers!!
I am so happy you two stopped for an ice cream cone at Little America. That is always a must stop when I am passing through. Safe Travels, and Happy Journeys!
As an American living in the UK(14 years now), I remember my first double roundabout. It definitely was a bit nerve racking. Thanks again for sharing your great videos.
And it was all going so wonderful....until the infamous $.75 cone appeared from the heavens over Little America......and I had to put you on pause because it made me want some of my Breyer's Carb Smart Chocolate (and I sprinkled chopped walnuts on it to boot)! And what a way to finish your video. Thank you for ALL of that! I really enjoy seeing the places you come up with to stay at, good or not so good. Keeps things interesting. Continued safe travels.
You’ve never been to a Little America before? We’ve stopped at the one in Flagstaff Az many times, they have Hotels too. Enjoy watching y’all & your journeys!
Sap brothers truck stops are usually pretty good..if traveling threw Sparks Nevada check out the Petro truck stop..they use to have prime rib on the buffet on Friday..and prime rib sandwiches on the menu every day..was very good when I use to stop there..clean showers 🚿 too.😅
ONCE AGAIN 😍outstanding job filming and editing!! Putting this together was VERY ENTERTAINING. How about a Q and A in the next couple weeks. I would love to hear your thoughts on some things. Favorite place to stay, worst place, do you have friends on the road you connect with and stay together, favorite RV stay location, how do you budget for the year? Does your daughter ever come and camp with you?? Gosh i could fill a whole segment. Lol. Thank you for helping me get through a night of insomnia 😊 SAVE TRAVELS
Glad we could be there for you. We're going to do a little something like that when we hit 50K subscribers since we've had some questions...yours alone could be a video! 😆 Thanks for watching.
Kansas has great rest areas with wonderful RV parking. Had a semi there with us once. No way would I complain. They have never complained to us. I know they needed some good sleep. Love Kana's rest areas
We have been watching your channel for a long time never thought to subscribe but now we have an HR. We really love your Alaskan tips and your other tips
I read somewhere that many rest stops have sensors embedded in the asphalt that communicate with a central computer. Then that information is transmitted to the signs via WiFi
I've been to little America more times than I can count..cool stuff, there a restaurant there, yumz, lotsa room..really a fave truck stop..nice showers too
Hello from Wichita Kansas. It was cool knowing the roads you were on. Missed giving you a honk and wave. Also Goodland is our home town. It is always windy out there.
Interesting. we just came through the I80 corridor in Wyoming this last week. Love the Unita Lanes in Evanston. We stayed there a couple of years ago, before that storage place was built next door. I had a feeling as soon as David mentioned you were staying at a bowling alley that was where you would end up. Great videos.
Small world but we hope you had good weather, David as you were passing through. Not too many overnight bowling alley's in Wyoming! Thanks for watching.
AMEN on the gloves!! Used to drive me nuts when someone jumped up on my running board with their diesel gloves on just to tell me something that was not importent! And I end up smelling diesel the rest of the day.
Wow, some beautiful western scenery out there, I'm anxious to see more. I'm glad you scored some cheap ice cream cones and some great photos/video. See you next Thursday!
Regarding the rest area…. There could be either a sensor under on & off ramp or a sensor on a post at the ramps. Thats my guess. I cry 😭 when I have to pay $50 at the gas pump. Thank you for taking us along your journey.… safe travels.
I ran 84 -> 80 eastbound hauling a load out of Portland about two weeks before you came through westbound. That is such a beautiful area. Little America is a real gem. Time permitting, I like to stop there. The food is good and reasonably priced. A coworker of mine stops there every time she goes through there, just to take a bath. I really love your Volvo 780. I miss the Volvo 760 that I had at my old company. I'm a few years from retirement, and I want to buy a used Volvo or Cascadia, drive commercially long enough to get it paid off, then use it as a HDT to pull a 5th wheel camper for retirement.
I enjoy the drone shots. One thing I like about Kansas interstate rest areas are the circular parking areas for overnighting. I found them nice when traveling with my RVs, and more quiet. I noticed a lot of tree damage on the farm. It made me wonder if they have had tornados over the years.
Sondra, left is drivers side. If your not in a vehicle then look at the back of your hands and put your thumbs out. The hand with thumb out that makes an L is your left. But it has to be back of hand.
Thanks for the tip. When I went to get my drivers license at 15 or 16 years old I failed the first time.. then I wrote R and L on the back of my hands and I passed. When we went to get our Class A endorsement for the rig, I did something similar (but not as obvious). 🤫😁😅
At the rest area ...they know because when they repaved the parking lot they put in magnetic strip that sense when a truck is in a parking spot..computers sends messages to sign..nice system when working properly 😒 😊😊
I have travelled heaps, camping in remote areas, 4x4 ing, caravanning but have only have seen 1 large, long RV like yours. This was in the outback where a station aka ranch, was and the owner had imported it from the USA. As there are not many service stations out there so fuel is very precious and unless you have a fuel tanker with you it’s hard to justify such a long unit. But enjoy and be safe. Oh I live in Australia.
Thanks, Judy. We want to get down under one day. That's interesting about the rig in the outback. We could never bring ours down there but would use a caravan and truck instead. Appreciate your time watching the channel.
Oh what a great video! I love the kinda “behind the scenes” cooking videos and need more of them! I agree with another person who commented that we need a Q&A session. We send in questions for y’all to look over (at your leisure…lol) and y’all answer them. I think people would love that! As always, this was another great video! Safe travels!! 😎
Thank you, Sandra. When we get to 50K subscribers then we plan to do a video to answer some of those questions. We don't want to give it all away...need some intrigue, eh?!? Lol 😆 😆 Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃
We drove from Idaho to Mi and then MN. It’s like watching our trip in reverse order. You forgot to mention the big Abraham Lincoln bust you passed on the highway 😂
I just found you and after watching this video, definitly will sub, you are such an inspiration. My hubby and I are working toward a similar goal on a smaller scale, this will give me some ideas and will go check out your other adventures.
Love the farm & the friendly chickens! lol That ice cream looked as good as Dairy Queen and a better buy! We also have a Little America in Flagstaff AZ. Thanks for sharing!
The Little America in Little America, WY is their flagship. But they have 2 much smaller places. 1 is in Cheyenne, I believe 1 exit north of I 80 off I 25. The other is in Flagstaff, AZ.Those ice cream cones, were .50 until COVID. Sapp Bros truck stops also have some really good chicken tenders. If you get the fresh, they are on par with Chester's. 😊
The bowling alley you camped at is just a couple of blocks from my house. I wish I could have met you guys. I have been watching you guys for over a year. Next time you are this way maybe we can meet up.
David you were really working the camera in this video! Had me cracking up! Is it really always this exciting in the truck? Love watching Sondra and her reactions! Just as I was thinking.. why doesn't he leave the truck connected for an overnight.. and then you answered the question!! What are you telepathic also? LOL!
Young people watch and learn this lovely couple teaching you how to live life and be happy
Yeah, this is after you earn a few million btw

🤣🤣🤣 that's great! Where were you when David and I were having that conversation?!? I'm not witty and can't think fast on my feet like David. 😉

That's good, Susan. I may steal that one!
The recipe on the little cakes and showing a salad got my subscription
Good to know your priorities! 😉🤣 thank you!
If those chickens only knew how many Chester's Chicken pieces you bought, they would have scrammed. LOL Loved the video, and the music was great. Safe travels!
That's funny! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You got that right, Phyllis! Hmmm...I wonder if they could smell it on us? 😆
We are older people from Michigan. Just happened to find you. We are enjoying all your sightseeing.

Thank you. We noticed that upon re-watching the video. Appreciate you trying to keep us straight!
Very enjoyable episode with a cliff hanger ....😱 . The 75 cent ice cream cones was a awesome bonus for y'all . 😊
Glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate your support.
I love that you guys pay attention to the little things, recognize those that give great deals and services, and are so down to earth. It's a real pleasure to watch your videos. ❤😊
Thanks. Sometimes it's the little details which make life interesting.
You're such a good driver, Sandra! It's always wonderful watching you drive that big rig! How inspiring 😊
Thanks Jacqueline 😊
I'm getting better. I can straight back in and parallel park. I
Now I have to learn to do a 90° back in. 😬
She does good and is very conscientious on the road.
I love your channel, would love to see you incorporate cooking lunch and dinner. That would be awesome. Bless you both
Thank you. We're trying to mix it up and show our daily lives.
If you guys are ever in Eastern Washington, Spokane County, you are most welcome to stay over at our place. We have a loop for the neighborhood, over 150' of frontage and, even though you don't need it, 50 Amp service and water hook up. Dump station is about 10 miles away at a stare park, the same park that borders our neighborhood. There are trails and the lead to the Spokane river. Nice, safe spot!
Sounds great, Annette. Thank you 😊.
I'm always impressed with the spots you guys manuver into, great job, great videos, thanks for sharing your travels.
Thanks for watching, Gary! Some are tighter than others but we try to make it work.
the 75c cones are like Costco's $1.50 hot dog. They are "loss leaders", meant to lure you in. not make a profit.
That is sooo true... and yet, sooo good.
Kansas is one hot state. I miss TX and Whataburger. Thanks for the great content.
Our pleasure, Bob! We have family in Kansas so we return almost every year for a reunion on the farm. Love the wheat blowing in the breeze!

Agreed, Mark. The pumps can be very dirty and nasty. Thanks for watching.
Found y’all today and I’m obsessed already! Love the energy y’all bring!
Welcome!! Thanks. Buckle up! We got places to go!
I absolutely love the longer videos and this was a good one. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you!

Nothing like a cool wash cloth to greet you after battling the heat outside. Thanks Sondra❤
David does so much of the work it's the least I could do to help out. 😁
So true! It's very nice!
You guys crack me up. When you say something funny I have to watch your wife's facial expressions. I laugh so hard. 😊❤
After 35 years, she's still not quite sure about me and my humor! 😆 😆
You guys have way too much fun!
Waaayyy too much! We need days off! 😆 🤣

Lol. I'm glad someone out there understands me! 🤣 we have a 1500 mile range but you just never know! 🥴

We've been on a few. Don't understand why the advantages. Oh well. It's freaky. 😆
We stayed at a Harvest Host golf course in Amarillo, Texas. It was great. We rented clubs and played a round of golf. It’s a great memory.
Very nice, Kathy. They had a men's league going on so I couldn't get out there.
Harvest host is always a good idea. Sometimes fun.
Usually a pleasant and unique experience. Thanks

It was actually a Marmot ❤. There were two of them running around. One was really shy. Thanks for the comment. We really appreciate your support 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! See you next week...or tomorrow!
Looks like a marmot. They are funny creatures. Your videos are great especially in a big rig!!! ❤
Glad you like them! I think you're correct on the marmot. Thanks for watching
Oh my, I love y’all and so do the chickens!!!😂. I need to rewatch and write down the cake idea! That’s perfect!!
Hey Kim, I think Peggy in our FB group asked for me to write it out and I did in the comment. 😉
It's tasty, Kim! The chickens were crazy friendly.
You on a farm pull up and fill up with that good old farm fuel . What are they paying now a dollar a gallon in them parts ?
Boy that would be nice. I think I saw about $2/gal for farm fuel.

Yep...I misspoke. Too excited to think straight!
Inspired me to pick up my camera again. Reminder to appreciate what we have been given. Thanks Guys. Happy Trails.
You're welcome. That's one of the good things about the channel, it "forces" you to get the camera out.

AGAIN!!!!!! I love you guys. keep up the GREAT work.
Thank you very much.
Available parking spots are measured by magnetic sensors in the ground. Entrance,exits and individual parking spots .
Thanks for the info, Tom. I didn't think they would go to that kind of tech for parking spots but it is very helpful.
As an American living in the UK(14 years now), I remember my first double roundabout. It definitely was a bit nerve racking. Thanks again for sharing your great videos.
Thanks for sharing! I don't know why but I like roundabouts.
Love the Dawson Creek shirt! Right around my old neck of the woods before I came east! Very cool to see!
That's cool. Thank you.

Wow! Thank you so very much.
This was so enjoyable! Great to see the different places you stay. Impressed by the microwave cake, and the chicken salad. Safe travels.
Glad you enjoyed it! We eat good, simple but tasty!
I love twin falls Idaho my two boys were born there. And I lived there for many years moved to Oregon in 2016. You will enjoy twin falls.
Thanks, Mary. Twin Falls blew us away. It's a very nice area.
You’ve never been to a Little America before? We’ve stopped at the one in Flagstaff Az many times, they have Hotels too. Enjoy watching y’all & your journeys!

Glad we could be there for you. We're going to do a little something like that when we hit 50K subscribers since we've had some questions...yours alone could be a video! 😆 Thanks for watching.
Kansas has great rest areas with wonderful RV parking. Had a semi there with us once. No way would I complain. They have never complained to us. I know they needed some good sleep. Love Kana's rest areas
They are very nice. Even places to overnight.
Beautiful time of year to go through some beautiful country. Another excellent video. Love your camping style.
Glad you enjoyed it, Bill. It's truly special in this area.
We have been watching your channel for a long time never thought to subscribe but now we have an HR. We really love your Alaskan tips and your other tips
Awesome! Thank you! Enjoy the freedom and the road.
I read somewhere that many rest stops have sensors embedded in the asphalt that communicate with a central computer. Then that information is transmitted to the signs via WiFi
Thank you. You are correct. I just didn't think they would do that! Lol 😆
Spectacular as usual
Thank you so much 😀
I've been to little America more times than I can count..cool stuff, there a restaurant there, yumz, lotsa room..really a fave truck stop..nice showers too
It's so nice. We had passed by before but never stopped. Now, it will be a regular.
Hello from Wichita Kansas. It was cool knowing the roads you were on. Missed giving you a honk and wave. Also Goodland is our home town. It is always windy out there.
Thanks, Joy. We were surprised that the golf course had been established for 100 years... and people were playing in 40 mph winds! Wow.
@@bigtruckbigtravelswe are so used to the wind lol
We enjoyed watching the whole video throughly! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching the channel
Interesting. we just came through the I80 corridor in Wyoming this last week. Love the Unita Lanes in Evanston. We stayed there a couple of years ago, before that storage place was built next door. I had a feeling as soon as David mentioned you were staying at a bowling alley that was where you would end up. Great videos.
Small world but we hope you had good weather, David as you were passing through. Not too many overnight bowling alley's in Wyoming! Thanks for watching.
AMEN on the gloves!! Used to drive me nuts when someone
jumped up on my running board with their diesel gloves on
just to tell me something that was not importent! And I end up smelling diesel the rest of the day.
Thank you, Stephan! For understanding...
Love the music you edit into your video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
You guys are fun to watch! Thank you for sharing your travels with us! And 75cent cone is a deal!
Thanks, Catherine and we think the cone is a great deal.
I know how u feel enjoy from Ireland love ur rev thank u
Love hearing from our friends across the Pond. Thanks
Thank you122 next weekend it wonderful travel 😉 David and Sondoa 😅I wait patient ❤😊
Thank you Catherine. Always love having you along on the journey. 😊
Wow, some beautiful western scenery out there, I'm anxious to see more. I'm glad you scored some cheap ice cream cones and some great photos/video. See you next Thursday!
Thanks, Carol. Beautiful out west... it gets better! Ice cream was awesome. See you next Thursday. 😁
Regarding the rest area…. There could be either a sensor under on & off ramp or a sensor on a post at the ramps. Thats my guess.
I cry 😭 when I have to pay $50 at the gas pump. Thank you for taking us along your journey.… safe travels.
🤣😁It's no fun filling the Big Rig up with fuel. We're used to the big numbers but it still isn't our favorite thing to do!
You were in my neck of the woods!! I am 45 minutes west of Newton in Hutchinson. I hope you enjoyed your time in Kansas.
Love that area, Carrie. The Yoder Restaurant has good pies and we enjoy time on the farm in Partrudge.
I ran 84 -> 80 eastbound hauling a load out of Portland about two weeks before you came through westbound. That is such a beautiful area. Little America is a real gem. Time permitting, I like to stop there. The food is good and reasonably priced. A coworker of mine stops there every time she goes through there, just to take a bath.
I really love your Volvo 780. I miss the Volvo 760 that I had at my old company. I'm a few years from retirement, and I want to buy a used Volvo or Cascadia, drive commercially long enough to get it paid off, then use it as a HDT to pull a 5th wheel camper for retirement.
Love the plan. We love travel days because of the Volvo. Little America is a real gem. Thanks
I enjoy the drone shots. One thing I like about Kansas interstate rest areas are the circular parking areas for overnighting. I found them nice when traveling with my RVs, and more quiet. I noticed a lot of tree damage on the farm. It made me wonder if they have had tornados over the years.
Hey Gene, yes, they had just had a severe wind storm the week prior to our arrival. The KS circular areas are nice for overnights.
Sondra, left is drivers side. If your not in a vehicle then look at the back of your hands and put your thumbs out. The hand with thumb out that makes an L is your left. But it has to be back of hand.
Thanks for the tip. When I went to get my drivers license at 15 or 16 years old I failed the first time.. then I wrote R and L on the back of my hands and I passed. When we went to get our Class A endorsement for the rig, I did something similar (but not as obvious). 🤫😁😅
Hey, that is a great tip for left/right! 😊 Thanks
I enjoyed seeing some more images from inside the truck. especially when you are preparing the meal. greetings
Glad you enjoyed it and we wanted to show some different aspects of our travels. Appreciate your comments. Thanks
Another great video, I'm getting anxious to hit the road. Hey be careful around those Prarie Dogs, they carry Bubonic Plague.
Thanks for the tip! Hope you get in the road soon, Phil.
❤thank you 122 next weekend 123 David I wait watching bigtavel and big truck 🚛 Idaho lake it pretty finish then other States
Thanks, Catherine. There is more this summer but a special video this week.
At the rest area ...they know because when they repaved the parking lot they put in magnetic strip that sense when a truck is in a parking spot..computers sends messages to sign..nice system when working properly 😒 😊😊
Thanks. That makes sense. Didn't know they'd use tech for those rest areas.
I have travelled heaps, camping in remote areas, 4x4 ing, caravanning but have only have seen 1 large, long RV like yours. This was in the outback where a station aka ranch, was and the owner had imported it from the USA. As there are not many service stations out there so fuel is very precious and unless you have a fuel tanker with you it’s hard to justify such a long unit. But enjoy and be safe. Oh I live in Australia.
Thanks, Judy. We want to get down under one day. That's interesting about the rig in the outback. We could never bring ours down there but would use a caravan and truck instead. Appreciate your time watching the channel.
The .75 Cone is the same it was when I was there 20 years ago!
That's crazy! Great deal!
We watch your content in preparation of our planned HDT life. Almost there!
Congratulations, Joy. That's exciting. It will be here before you know it! Thanks for watching.
Oh what a great video! I love the kinda “behind the scenes” cooking videos and need more of them! I agree with another person who commented that we need a Q&A session. We send in questions for y’all to look over (at your leisure…lol) and y’all answer them. I think people would love that! As always, this was another great video! Safe travels!! 😎
Thank you, Sandra. When we get to 50K subscribers then we plan to do a video to answer some of those questions. We don't want to give it all away...need some intrigue, eh?!? Lol 😆 😆 Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃
We drove from Idaho to Mi and then MN. It’s like watching our trip in reverse order. You forgot to mention the big Abraham Lincoln bust you passed on the highway 😂
That's true and the first time we didn't stop!
It was nice meeting you guys at the Rally…Happy Truckin 😊
Thank you. Always great to meet people on the road. Hope you had a great rally, it was fun getting together. Keep it between the ditches!
I just found you and after watching this video, definitly will sub, you are such an inspiration. My hubby and I are working toward a similar goal on a smaller scale, this will give me some ideas and will go check out your other adventures.
Welcome!! That is fantastic! Good luck and we're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Love the farm & the friendly chickens! lol That ice cream looked as good as Dairy Queen and a better buy! We also have a Little America in Flagstaff AZ.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Frank. That's neat there's one in AZ!
That was so wild seeing you guys are in Newton! Welcome! 😊
Thanks. Such a small world.
The Little America in Little America, WY is their flagship. But they have 2 much smaller places. 1 is in Cheyenne, I believe 1 exit north of I 80 off I 25. The other is in Flagstaff, AZ.Those ice cream cones, were .50 until COVID.
Sapp Bros truck stops also have some really good chicken tenders. If you get the fresh, they are on par with Chester's. 😊
🤔 I was so impressed with their bathrooms I never thought to check out their chicken! Now we have two reasons to stop. 😎
Thanks and good info. This is the first we've seen but we'll be on the lookout!
The bowling alley you camped at is just a couple of blocks from my house. I wish I could have met you guys. I have been watching you guys for over a year. Next time you are this way maybe we can meet up.
That is sooo cool, Karen. We enjoy seeing everyone on the road when it works out. Thanks
I believe there is a underground sensor at the inference and exit at these rest stops
You're probably correct and possibly sensors in the ground too! Thanks
Golly! I feel bad when I fuel up my Corolla, and it costs $12.00!!!!
you dont live here in Commifornia! gas is still $4.60 a gallon
@@lutomson3496 The Glorious People's Republic of New York State is fast catching up to California prices, though!!!
We've gotten used to it but the first time was a shock!
Wow.. I do not want those little tight spaces. And I'm in a 23' MH! Luv your videos :)
Glad you like them! Thanks. Tight spots are no fun!
Loved the video but kinda bummed you didn’t show more video footage around Little America. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, next time we'll do that. Neat place and great ice cream.
David you were really working the camera in this video! Had me cracking up! Is it really always this exciting in the truck? Love watching Sondra and her reactions! Just as I was thinking.. why doesn't he leave the truck connected for an overnight.. and then you answered the question!! What are you telepathic also? LOL!
We try to anticipate your needs and address then accordingly. Don't want to leave you hanging... unless it's a cliffhanger video! 😆 🤣
The ice cream cone use to be .50 cents
Well... there is inflation but to us its a deal!
