This video reminds me of all the great camping adventures we had with our kids when they were about Joan's age. These are memories that last a lifetime. Thanks for another fun video.
@@virgilwhetsel5289 Thanks Virgil! This was definitely one of the best trips we’ve taken. Joan is so much more interactive and more interested in what’s going on outside the windows than even last year. It makes it a lot more fun for both of us.
Your vids have improved to the point where I hardly speed through any of it. Great music and editing, Brian! I also detest the Chicago traffic, so it was a pleasure to see an alternative route for heading East of the Mississippi!
@@baldbikeboy thanks a lot! Yeah, this route was longer, but much more pleasant & stress free.
Great video and great meeting you at the Michigan event! Love the hat you gave me! Keep up the great work!
@@craigjhart Thanks Craig! Great to meet you at the event too! Thanks for finding us to say Hi!
What a great Travel video Brian!!
@@evdave528 Thanks Dave!
Darn I forgot to dip my butt in lake Huron. 🙂
I did find the best cookie ever made near Petoskey on the way home, but forgot to write down the name of the road side shop. Next time. Great trip/video Brian. 👍
Thanks Tony, great to see you out there!
Great video Brian! So great to meet you in Muskegon 😊
@@mikesevgarage Thanks Mike! I’m editing that video now and kicking myself for not getting a quick clip or interview with you & Jim. I’m always torn with trying to enjoy the moment or filming everything, but it was great meeting you.
Awesome trip. I especially like hearing the low(er) temperatures.
@@mannymota3442 Thanks! Yeah most of it was very comfortable.
Epic road trip. Thank you for bringing us along. I hope to one day make it to the Straits camp ground too. Looks amazing. Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed watching.
@@thenetworkarchitectchannel Thanks Walter! The campground is really nice and the bridge views are even better in person. You’ll love it!
Road trips are fun. Rainy Sunday morning here but it looks to be clearing so I will ride the Toro for a couple of hours soon.
@@gerhardk98 it’s good to get outdoors one way or another! 😄 I think that’s in the cards for me today too.
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks John, that's very generous of you! Thanks for watching!
I remember very well meeting you we had we had a 10 x 10 tent close by and we spent a lot of time, your daughter stole everybody’s heart. We were very protective of her. Got to meet a lot of nice people. I can’t remember his name but real nice guy. The drone pilot is right behind you. Look forward to meet you guys next year, you’re the ones we remember the most your buddy the Highlander😊 PSU may not remember, but I mentioned my daughters also special that way😊
Hi Highlander! It was great meeting you in Michigan as well! She's pretty fantastic & I'm lucky to have her as a travel partner. I hope daughter is doing well too!
@@brianriebedriveselectric thanks for asking Brian she’s 31 now but as you know, they always stay about age 7 she lives in a nice assisted living home and middle of Ohio. She has a job in the whole yard so we’re proud of her your buddy the Highlander I did not realize you edit for Tesla time news that’s how I found your channel.😀
Yep, that’s a sand. I grew up on then my nieces now the grandbabies we certainly hope be able to make it next year. You will be more than welcome in our tent and we will have free water and barbecue. I don’t care what they say. This year was out free bottled water. And then they said no because of the food vendors and then everybody started handing out free bottle water anyways so better to beg forgiveness and ask permission you and your daughter are welcome to all the freewater you can have and we will have a grill hidden away someplace where we can have some snacks Highlander😊
Thanks so much! Yeah, we had extra water in the car, but that was a hot day in the sun. I'm working on the event video now, so I hope to have that out this coming weekend. Take care!
@@brianriebedriveselectric I remember you gave me a bottle of water ,the drone pilot behind you with the little tent He gave me a beer no alcohol allowed .lol
LOVE that area! Along the shore of the UP was less compelling than I anticipated when we traveled there in the Bolt, but your footage belays that memory. I found our jaunt up the West side of the lake in WI/MI up to Escanaba was lovely as well.
Really interesting to see it in covered in a Tesla and the lake views are just as good as i remember. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for watching Steve! I was expecting the UP would be far more rocky like northern MN. Joan especially was pleasantly surprised at how sandy the beaches were throughout Michigan (and delicious?). The weather also made these views really pop.
@@brianriebedriveselectric There's no way to know how it tastes if you don't try! 🤔
Nice work! Have you ever considered taking a fellow Eagle Scout on a road trip to Tomahawk Scout Camp for nostalgia reasons?
@@thefivecount I have now!
@@brianriebedriveselectric I know a guy! Keep me posted! 😀
Thanks for the video. I am patiently waiting for the SuperCharger in Escanaba to be available to use with my Bolt. The CCS charger is only one plug and not very reliable making it very difficult to drive from Wisconsin on US 2 to Michigan with a CCS car.
@@acewmu Thanks for watching! Yeah, I was really hoping that would have rolled out faster. Hopefully it won’t be much longer. 🤞
Why did you not use the 240 V outlet to charge at the camp site? Where did you get those awesome wheel covers?
@@ryanwelsch9384 The first site had the 30amp socket and I don’t have that adapter, so just stuck with 120 to pick up a little juice. I knew I wanted to stop at the Mackinaw City Supercharger anyway, so it wasn’t critical. At the second site, I would have liked to plug in to avoid the busy supercharger on Sunday (next video) but the power post was in a really inconvenient spot near the fire ring and I didn’t have a long enough cable, so we just supercharged before we left town. I’m testing the wheel covers for a friend who’s main business is making them for semis. I’ll have a full video on them after the road trip series with my data and comparisons to past trips. His website is: deflecktor.com but the order page for the Tesla wheel covers isn’t live yet.
@@brianriebedriveselectric Thanks.
How did you get free supercharging with your model Y?
@@ryanwelsch9384 through the Tesla referral program when it was active. You get points that you can apply to apparel, accessories, or free supercharging miles.
