    NO DANG.... I don't want any of that sauce 8) I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy stuff. Do you have a link for that map that you have on the wall behind you in the dinette? I really like that one. That is so interesting about the river changing course and no longer feeding the lake. So impressive what month nature can do. As always Bob your story telling is magical and Dang's drone footage in TOP NOTCH

      Thanks so much @thewanderingshores for dropping by. You can observe the sauce from a safe distance when we see you in AZ soon :) That's the best way to experience it - believe me ! I will look for that map - it was a gift from our daughter a few years back - I'm pretty sure she got it on Amazon. I'll comment here again when I find out. Thanks again for the nice feedback - we really do appreciate it. We are heading over to your channel now to watch your Snowbird Mesa video - We have almost camped there a half dozen times but never actually done it - so that is going to be very helpful. See you guys soon!

    We have been enjoying your Alaskan Journey! Cinematography is always top notch. We can only wish to be that good! Dang’s drone flights are absolutely breathtaking. Rhonda and I both agree Bob’s narration is best we have ever heard. We believe if you guys continue on your current journey, no one can touch you guys. Continued blessings on your channel. We love it!🙏🏼❤️

      Hey @OverTheHillAdventures! wow, thank you so much for the kind words! We're so glad you're enjoying the Alaskan journey. We put a lot of heart into these videos, and comments like yours really make it all worthwhile. 😊 And coming from you guys, that means a lot!
      It was pretty amazing how close our paths were up north, wasn't it? We felt like we were practically waving to you across the Inside Passage a few times! 😄 And now we're loving following along on your Vancouver Island adventures. You're capturing the beauty of the island perfectly. Keep up the incredible work! See you in AZ soon❤️

    I can't get my jaw off the ground, this scenery is absolutely stunning! Your bucket list is inspiring us, thanks for making this awesome video series! Oh, and I have to laugh because I always thought I-40 and I-10 were horrible highways but you have redefined “highway from hell” for me 🤣 Congratulations on another amazing video!

    • @bobanddangsjourney
      @bobanddangsjourney  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes, Dang does have a nice setup - that monitor gets calibrated regularly for color accuracy. So while it's a bit of a pain to travel with (rides on the bed during travel days) its very helpful in the editing process. Thanks for the comment - we love hearing from you!. BTW we are thinking about spending a few months up in the Eastern Sierra this summer - so maybe we run into you up there. Take care!

    Another great video production. Gotta hand it to you, you guys find the best boon dock locations.
    You gotta love Kluane Lake, undoubtedly our most favorite Yukon boon dock spot. Glad you hit Johnson’s Crossing. We stopped off there on both of our Alaska journeys for their famous Cinnamon Buns (sticky buns as Canadians call them). Your description of the trek through Burwash was right on. It’s gonna be amazing when that portion of the ALCAN gets re-constructed. Looking forward to your next video!

    Hello Bob and Dang I don't know if we could handle all that rain. Rice cooker is a must for me🙂. Nice rv park laundry looked good. Beautiful mountains, never seen a magpie before. That highway got pretty bad. Wow you really have to adjust your travel time for the condition of the road. Thank you for sharing have a good day.

      @RVAmerica - thanks so much for dropping by - we really appreciate it. Alaska was a fantastic trip and we highly recommend it . Not without it's challenges (skip the part about dropping your trailer - ep 2 - LOL ) but as you will see - for us they were not showstoppers. The hard part is putting out all the content in a timely manner :) We imagine you guys probably know a bit about how challenging that can be. We have a new episode dropping today on our travel into Valdez - and that is a place we do suggest you add to your list of places to visit. We will be there for the next episode as well, then across the ferry to Kenai Peninsula. Will you guys be around Quartzite at all this winter ? We plan to be there for a while and if you are, maybe we will see you there. Safe travels and happy holidays!

    • @RVAmerica
      @RVAmerica Місяць тому

      We get that. Our videos are still in Canada from the summer. There was just so much to see. We have Valdez on our list. We plan to stay for 2 months. So, hopefully, we will see a lot. We are going to be in Florida this winter. We would love to meet up.

    Wow! That spot you got right no the water was amazing! Beautiful shots of the whole area and we can't wait to see more of this trip! What is your go to app for finding the boondocking spots? iOverlander?

    • @bobanddangsjourney
      @bobanddangsjourney  2 місяці тому

      Hi @VanDoghies - that was a really nice spot -w e were lucky that SUV left when they did - as it turns out the locals tend to come down there and hang out using that as a beach. Not a problem but that car could have stayed there - in which case we would have been on the other side of the lot by the highway. Much better by the lake for sure. Yes, we used ioverlander most of the time on this trip. We mixed ina. bit of Campendium, the Dyrt and also freecampsites.net - but Ioverlander was what we used 80% o the time I think. For you guys with the Van thats a great app. For us with the trailer, we just have to do a bit more confirmation - usually with google maps or google earth. Some people's idea of 'big rig friendly' is a bit different :). We don't consider ourselves to have a very big rig - in terms of 5th wheels or trailers, but compared to a Van it's definitely more of challenge to park. Thanks again for your support - hope we run into you next year during our travels!

      Do you like spicy food? This sauce is so simple to make, and every Thai person has their own take on it based on what they like. My usual version includes about two tablespoons of dry, grilled, and crushed chilies, the juice of a whole medium lime, an equal amount of fish sauce, and 2-3 cloves of garlic, depending on how much you like garlic. Sometimes, I also garnish it with chopped green onion and cilantro.
      I use this sauce on all kinds of food. If you try it, let me know! Thanks for your question! 😀
