  • 6 days to travel 300+ miles. We're taking it easy and traveling a different route to get to Oregon. It's a fun way to get to where you're going. Along the way we meet some really cool people. Come along and experience a part of America few people get a chance to experience on the ground.
    The Journey is the Destination as we discover What's Next.

    Being among the animals and making dad jokes. A li'l fun for everyone. The sight of the lettuce at Frog Hollow made my mouth water. That dog at the lavender Harvest Host was quite the welcme wagon. All in all, each of the host hops exemplified the beauty and joy that abounds in nature - the animals, the plants, the rolling hills, and open plains. As the song said, "I could feel it too." It was nice being able to enjoy these stops.

    I like the fact that you do not glamourise travelling but you show the truth and in a classy way. Being from the S.W. England I love the way you show so many very different places in the U,S,A, You would find your travelling would be very different here in the U.K. In your rig you would find it difficult to drive around our rural roads. Well done to you both. Surprised you have not got a million followers yet. Perhaps you are too cultured for some.

      Hey Marcel! Thanks for the comment and watching. We have rollers at the rear bottom of Orion (name of trailer) to prevent any bottom scraping but I still cringe anyway. So far in 3.5 years of having Orion we haven't touched our rear end. We did just barely scrape the front jack at the last HH which you'll see in next week's video "Headed to the Hood" so be sure to subscribe to be notified. 😊

      Bill, normally I do but did not that time because I thought it would be a little firmer than it was and we were fairly level so I didn't put a lot of weight on the rear...or so I thought. Thanks for the comments and appreciate your time watching the channel.
