I’m sure you realize that many of your viewers are riding along in our imagination, as we are too old, sick or dying. Our last chance to see this amazing country! Thank you! 😊
@@davidr1777 Nailed it. All of the above, plus poor and living on disability. Yet there's always something to be grateful for, if you're willing to look for it.
My wife and I have started watching Betting on Alaska and may I say, you and Brooke did a fantastic job raising that young man. The world needs more young people with their heads on straight! Oh...also enjoying your vids too...
Man of the same heart, nothing gives you the sense of freedom like being out on a bike, I have had a bike from when I was 15 yrs old and I am 70 yrs old next weekend and still ride a bike, many thanks for sharing, cheers Ian from England
Love this, thank you, Dave. I'm a 71 yr old gal that started riding motorcycle at 38 and have put about 80K miles in the saddle enjoying God's beauty. Your video got me to imagining the smells, bugs, changing temps, and especially the sights - all the blessings of motorcycling. Enjoy all the family's videos so much!
OMGoodness, I just realized who you've always reminded me of, Dave! It's Dick Proenneke! I fell in love with Alaska because of him and at times you sound just like him! Anyway, I appreciate all that you, Brooke, and now Mick are sharing! Blessings to all of your family!
Dave, you and your wife have kept me motivated for a while now, glad to see one of you kids taking up the same lifestyle. Much love from another Believer from down Kentucky way!
Wow! Quite the ride! Thank you so much for taking us along. Something I won’t do but hopefully my grandson and his girlfriend will enjoy on their motorcycles. Thank you
Thanks for taking me on a motorcycle road trip. Those are some beautiful views you showed. That was so nice you were able to meet up with the family to break bread and share. Can't wait till the next one. Godspeed.
Loved it! I think it is so cool how your family loves to stay connected, yet you all have your own interests. The love and companionship is beautiful. Complete trust, and would never do anything to put your marriage in jepordy! Love that you take your wedding vows so seriously and your relationship with God. Bless you all.
OMG! This video brought back so many memories! In 2010, 3 of us started in Glen Allen , self supported, on our touring bicycles and rode to the Denali Hwy, rode the Hwy, and went on to Denali. We then rode the 95 miles to the the back of Denali National Park and camped at Wonder Lake. It was one of the most incredible 2 weeks of my life! The scenery! The wildlife! Like you said, you can’t do it justice with a camera! Absolutely awesome! Thanks for the video!
Awesome trip, thankyou Dave for sharing your adventure. Yourself, Brook and now Mick are all inspirational. May our Good Lord bless and keep you all safe 🙏🏽❤
Since you mentioned....in 1968 trade school behind me....purchase a new Suzuki 100 dirt bike...pack on a tent. Bag..change of clothes. Food.bear spray and huggs to family as i head to the far north to Circle City ALASKA at the YUKON river to camp remote wilderness..10.ooo mile when i get back to TALBOT indiana october 30 th. 1968....i relive the experience every day. So did it again in 1996 to Prudhoe Bay....AMAZING adventure it was..THANK YOU for your amazing story and words...Sept. 3 rd 2024....tr orr ...i lived YOUR ADVENTURE....thanks
A friend of mine took that trip twice! Drove his BMW all the way from ohio to Denali! He has 450,000 miles on that thing and has never washed it! Crazy bastard he is! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Thanks for jumping on your bike and taking us with you! I love a spur of the moment road-trip! Blessings on you and the family! Adventures, safety and joy! 👍
I have watched this 3 or 4 times and have fallen asleep a couple of times to it. What a great story. It makes me homesick. I am so happy for Mickey. And Belle!...whether she wants it or not.
I took an amazing trip when I was 14 with my mom on the back seat of a Honda CRX 500, pulling a loaded trailer with camping gear, clothing, and food rations. We left Iowa first of June headed west to Oregon. We stayed with grandparents and toured around Central Oregon for 3 weeks. We packed back up and toured back to Iowa. We rode in rain for 4 days. It was an amazing time. We sent up camp one night extra early as we got a short break in the weather to dry out our gear. My mom repeated that trip two more times with my sister and brother. My brother got in on Mnt Saint Helen's irruption. That caused some engine issues temporarily until they hit Montana. Mom has been gone 2 years this June. She loved to ride a motorcycle to tour our beautiful country. Us kid's so enjoyed our trip with mom. I truly enjoyed your video. Breath taking country. Happy Summer Adventures 😊
Loved this video! Your voice is so calming! Your videos so remind me of my time in Alaska as a kid! It was rough roads in the late 50’s early 60’s! But I still love the Land of the Midnight Sun! It was great seeing Brooke and your son. Thank you! God bless y’all ❤️
Yes - thanks for taking us along on your adventure! We really enjoy your style of narration with a few live sections interspersed. It was fun to see the three of you get together in the midst of your individual ventures. ❤
I’m leaving for Alaska tomorrow. Love watching your families videos! My sister lives near Hatcher Pass and I’ve had the opportunity to visit Alaska since 1984. Last time I was there was 2017, I’m so excited and I taking my 11 yr old granddaughter for the first time.
What a nice little adventure. As a lifelong fan of motorcycling (who also took a break of sorts when becoming a parent), this was especially engaging. I'm glad you went on the trip. What you said about "may be next time, may be never" is true. There are things I took for granted earlier in life, thinking I'd have the opportunity to do them later, but that's not always the case. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and have fun!
Love the video, subscribed to Micks channel. I know this will make me sound like an old man, but you should be insanely proud of the intelligent, resourceful, independent and most importantly wise, son you have raised. I can't think of a higher honor for a father than to be amazed at the talented and spectacular children you have raised.
Love this! Such beautiful scenery! Please don't take this wrong, but I had to chuckle when you said you forgot the cover for the Go-pro because it reminded me of Mick forgetting his sleeping bag on his camping adventure last week! Just too cute! Y'all are such an amazing family & we are thankful to be brought along for your adventures! God bless!!!
Totally agree Dave, the drive between Paxson and Delta Junction is the prettiest drive in Alaska...I have done it many, many times...in cars, RV and on my motorcycles. It never gets old! Great trip!
Hi Dave, I make the trip to the Denali Highway every year. I usually take 3-4 days across from the Cantwell side, I take my time to camp and fish. Then, I go the Glenn Highway to Wasilla and back home to Willow. The lodge in Paxton was called the Paxon Lodge. I worked there as the dishwasher many years ago and the family that owned it were a crazy bunch, always arguing, lol. It was nice to see you making this trip, it is one of the no.1 areas to go. Great hunting as well. Thanks for sharing.
I loved your comment about losing your mind as a parent if your teenager took off on a 1000mile moto trip! I've done a lot of riding and ditched my bike as soon as we had kids....too many close calls with cars that didn't see me. Glad you were wearing dayglow colors and got back safe. Quite a nice ride you shared with us. Be well!
Loved the trip back through memory lane around Delta Junction Dave, I'm currently running a Kawasaki KLR 650 myself. As I sit here at my desk watching your video while making a 6figure income working for the railroad and pullinga 24hr shift, I can't help but feel envious jealous sad and happy all at the same time. Some days I wish I could just chuck it all and just go out wander around and be totally free but then I think, man I've built 1 hell of a retirement for myself and now I'm in a position where I'm only working 15days a month so I've set myself up with a lot more me time to chase my dreams although it may only be 9days at a time, it took me awhileto get to this place in my life. Keep living your dreams and may God continue to bless you and Brooke with good health and many more years of adventures. Hope to run into you both sometime whether it be in Alaska or back in Michigan, would love to share a campfire with you both.
Man that was radical so amazing!! My mother passed in 2018 she did that trip from Michigan in a sm motorhome I’m glad she did what an adventure that was for her ♥️ thank you Dave 🙋♀️
Such a beautiful trip. Great to get out and take a break from working on your land. Amazing scenery but as you said, better in person. Glad you were able to meet up with Brook and Mick. Thanks for bringing us along.
Dave , youre always a pleaaure to listen to. I guess its your voice , you have a natural "story telling voice" I enjoyed the adventure and looking forward to the next one.
It is true. The camera can not capture even the visuals, let alone the experience. However, those of us who understand the limitations of the camera, or, better still, the feeling of a similar experience, can extrapolate quite a bit from a photo or video. That was an incredible trip. Thanks for sharing. I always feel like filming for others takes away from my own enjoyment, and I appreciate the sacrifice : )
It's a great day when Dave releases a video! Thanks for taking us along! 😃
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video so far just started watching
Agreed. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
He's not to famous to answer comments yet, that's awesome! Most people don't answer comments 👍
I try to answer as many as I can. I'm actually in a truckstop parking lot right now using their wifi to answer comments
I’m sure you realize that many of your viewers are riding along in our imagination, as we are too old, sick or dying. Our last chance to see this amazing country! Thank you! 😊
I agree, but I think broke should be in there somewhere lol
@@davidr1777 Forgot. True. Social security doesn’t go far.
@@davidr1777 Nailed it. All of the above, plus poor and living on disability. Yet there's always something to be grateful for, if you're willing to look for it.
WELL SAID!!!!😅😅😁🤗🤗
And at least One of us is going thru Phy. Therapy, nursing a broken ankle ( motorcycle ). 2-1/2 months and counting . . .

Thank you for taking us with you on the journey and always trying your best to remind us that there’s a big world out there to explore.
Great video something about taking a bike trip by yourself even for a couple days is so cathartic brings peace to the soul
I just sighed all the way through. I'm grateful for you taking me to places I will never get to see.
❤😊thanks for taking us along with, awesome view
The most into the area than ever...such a beautiful nature all around 🎉
My wife and I have started watching Betting on Alaska and may I say, you and Brooke did a fantastic job raising that young man. The world needs more young people with their heads on straight! Oh...also enjoying your vids too...

These videos are such a blessing. I watch them before bed and feel relaxed
Thanks. That was a great trip for those of us who won't get to see it any other way. It was good to see Brooke and Mick, too
Just awesome, Dave. Can't put a price on lunch with family, no matter the roadtrip required! Love it.
Wow! Thank you for taking us with you.
Dave, you and your wife have kept me motivated for a while now, glad to see one of you kids taking up the same lifestyle. Much love from another Believer from down Kentucky way!

Thank you for showing me another reason why I would love to go to Alaska. I follow the whole family and enjoy each of you!!
Gee Whiz! You can sure tell that you and Mick are cut from the same cloth! He looks a lot like his dad! Thanks for taking us along to Denali!
Thank you for taking me on this trip with you. What a beautiful place. I love watching Mickey's channel, and of course Brooke's too.
Thanks for taking me on a motorcycle road trip. Those are some beautiful views you showed. That was so nice you were able to meet up with the family to break bread and share. Can't wait till the next one. Godspeed.
As a motorcyclist myself, please make more of these. I could listen to you explain Alaskan routes all day.
Thanx for the trip Dave....beautiful scenery..loved it ❤
Loved it! I think it is so cool how your family loves to stay connected, yet you all have your own interests. The love and companionship is beautiful. Complete trust, and would never do anything to put your marriage in jepordy! Love that you take your wedding vows so seriously and your relationship with God. Bless you all.
What a wonderful trip!!! We love riding the Harley in the country!! God is so awesome!!! 💜✝️💜
Yes, seize the day. Take it in as you go. Get up and go. Life is short. Good video.
I love it when a video drops on this channel. It always brightens my day.

GOOD 👋 DAY 🐉 MATE! Gorgeous Dave, Thank-you For the Wonderful Journey. Safe Travels!

Dave, you & Brooke make me miss Alaska so much ❣️ Carry on Son. I am having adventures again through you & Brooke ❣️
That's a great family! Praise the Lord!
Thanks for filming this. It was fabulous to see all the beauty there.
I agree totally. The things we did as kids, I cant imagine letting our kids do.
Loved tagging along! Lots of interesting things and gorgeous views! Hurry up and make another video!
Awesome! Thanks for jumping on your bike and taking us with you! I love a spur of the moment road-trip! Blessings on you and the family! Adventures, safety and joy! 👍

What a Cool trip. Thanks for bringing us along. Gorgeous scenery. Great to see the three of you together. Thanks again! 🎉
People who don't ride just don't know what they're missing. Glad you're getting back out and enjoying having the breeze on the knees.
Thanks for taking us along on the ride, I certainly enjoyed it. You are right about the camera not seeing what you see with your own two eyes.
A picture might be worth 1000 words, but being there can leave you speechless. Thanks, Dave.

Thanks Dave! I so enjoyed your trip! Hi Brooke and Mick!
Traveling for me these days is not an option, so I resort to fascinating views from you guys to fill that void. Thank you.
Great trip. Thanks for sharing all that beauty with us.
My absolute favorite channel on UA-cam. Everything you do just resonates with me.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for the ride haven’t been to Alaska in two years it’s beautiful myself I live in western Maine still beautiful have a great day
Awesome trip! Great scenery, thanks Dave.
Dave, this was one of your best! Thanks so much.
Thanks Dave for sharing your video. You make them cool and interesting and one day want to visit Alaska. I loved when you three met up … how fun!

Thanks for listening
Thanks for taking us along, beautiful 😍
I live in AUS and swear by it for its beautiful landscape but damn now i know why everyone loves America, at least these beautiful untainted parts.
God’s beautiful creation!

Thanks so much.. The scenery was absolutely beautiful but also your spirit and your voice is such a calming presence in your videos. 😊

Nice job..great video work..looking forward to the next trip
Amazing content , thank you, that spring you filled your bottles at looked delicious!
