    I enjoy seeing the towns you go through. Sometimes it feels like a drive through history with you narrating the way you do. Your travels would be a great way to learn some of our history without feeling like we're in school. Sadie is such a joy to see. That sunset was absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing it. Safe and happy travels.

    I think part of why we like you driving through the little towns is you get excited . we can tell that you are really enjoying yourself Carolyn. That makes it more enjoyable for us. We're seeing places we have never dreamed of . most of us live in cities anymore seems like. So showing us where your driving in these little towns is exciting. Some of us forget there are still places out there where people still live . I like small town life . I also like for there to be a good size town around an hour HR and half away to do shopping. Thanks for sharing these places with us

    Oh! Tires on the RV are the bane of my existence! We used to travel in a Bounder motorhome, and were forever blowing tires along the way. Spent the night in the parking lot of many a tire store. Nice to hear they tire shop took such good care or you! Sure love the scenery that you are showing in all your videos.

    @pertuancreek5174 2 роки тому +1

    You may want to have your tires Slimed, Carolyn. It's a liquid product that seals small and medium-sized leaks as you drive. They carry it at Wal-Mart. You (or a shop) just jack up your rig, which may be quite a task given the weight of it, and remove the valve stem core of your tire with a core remover tool that's sold near the Slime and Fix-a-flat. You squeeze the correct amount of Slime into the tire, replace the valve core and then air it up. The Slime coats the inside of the tire and plugs leaks if something happens to penetrate the tire. I've used it for 15 years and it really works and will also seal any leaks where the tire meets the wheel rim. (You also might want to keep a couple large cans of fix-a-flat on hand if you don't want to do the Slime, just to get you back to civilization if you have another flat out in the boonies.) Good luck.

It's definitely on my go back and visit list when I can take my time. There wasn't one town that I didn't want to return to see especially along the lakes there.

    As pretty as the stamp sand beach is, I’m sure you’ve heard by now why it’s not very crowded. It’s an ongoing problem up there to figure out how to deal with it. Your brief stay there shouldn’t be a problem but the locals have been worried about its drift over Buffalo Reef and everywhere else it’s ended up for a long time.
    While all lakes/oceans can have different kinds of beaches (Lake Michigan mostly has the typical soft golden sandy beaches), my favorite childhood memories of Lake Superior were of its miles of beautiful pebbles and smooth stones of every hue! Including the famous pre-dinosaur coral fossils of Petoskey stones. Fortunately those shorelines still exists for the most part. I used to collect shoeboxes full on camping trips and realize now how tolerant my father must have been, allowing me to haul them home…I’m sure he was smiling and thinking of Lucile Ball at the time, lol.
