    I kept leaning in when you described the beauty of the places you were visiting - as if I don't live here (Colorado) and haven't traveled these stretches over the years. 😂 It's wonderful to see it through your eyes. I love that you're having an amazing experience in this part of the U.S. and wish all three of you continued safe journeys!

    I’m not afraid of heights either, it’s the long drop and sudden stop at the end that unnerves me a bit😉 I can relate to that drive. We were in Switzerland this spring and being driven up into the mountains on a narrow winding road was interesting. At least there was a barrier, some wooden stakes and some thin rope.☹

    The air pollution was smoke from forest fires, it can travel hundreds of miles. We experienced some of it when we visited Alberta in July and had a bit here in Southern Ontario last summer.

      @@demieverafter We had one day in Okotoks (just south of Calgary) when there was no cloud cover but the smoke was so bad it felt like twilight and the sun was just an orange ball that you could easily look directly at. It was at the same time as the Jasper fire but this smoke was from another fire in British Columbia. I hope that next year when you visit Western Canada that you don’t encounter too much of it. Don’t let the possibility put you off of visiting.

    Hopefully they changed your fuel filter too. I know the oil change is not cheap. And the brakes aren't either. But it's a necessity. Love the hair!

    • @demieverafter
      @demieverafter  2 дні тому +1

      The rotas needing changing was a big shock as we were anticipating the cost of break pads!
      A bit of a weird one with the fuel filter they had mistaken the cabin filter for the fuel filter and we later realised it wasn’t changed and ended up buying and fitting it ourselves! The van is feeling a lot better to drive except the diesel heater blowing our thick white smoke hoping someone in Utah can have a look at it, all fun and games loving in a van hey Denise 😆 ohhhh thank you hair felt short but cute lol x

      The fuel filter is an important one on a diesel vehicle. I learned the hard way after spending 3k on repairs and they didn't change the filter especially since engine light was on. My van went into limp mode about 10x between Edmunston and Fredericton. I finally hobbled into a Walmart parking lot on a Sunday, no mechanics were open. Found one the next day and had to pay another 1000 to change the filter.
      I'm glad you got it changed ❤❤❤❤

    Unbelievable views! It's amazing how beautiful it is out there. I've got to admit I'd be a little nervous about driving on that one road where there's no room for error. 😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟
    I've never made it out there and probably never will so its nice to see it thru someone elses eyes, pov. Btw, there is so much money in Aspen. So many celebrities and wealthy non-celebrities own homes there. And yes, there's great skiing all over Colorado including Aspen. There are two other really nice areas called Steamboat Springs and Vail that are very pretty and have great skiing.
    Glad you guys are having such a great time and enjoying your trip so much. I will stay tuned and see what comes along next. Safe travels!
    PS Did your BF see the hotel or any scenes that were in Dumb and Dumber? It's a classic flic for guys of any age.

    Once you get used to driving a taller vehicle it’s hard to go back to a lower one. Now you know why so many (North) Americans like to drive pickup trucks.
