Hi Max. I’m the other side of the world without the means to travel. You’re a wonderful tour guide. Thank you for showing a very special place I would never be able to see otherwise
I loved the part where you have to go through many steps to hide the drone from Occy. 😄. He is such a smart dog . 😅💗
Too smart for his own good Sandy!
@@MaxandOccy when you said "Occy even looks in the rear view mirror for the drone"...had me Belly laughing!!! 🦮🦴🐾 Occy avoids the drone cameras! 😂
it's always interesting when you watch you tube channel "Go Pro animals"...how many of the wild animals know they are being watched (by a camera) and dont like it...just like humans & cute puppy dogs like Occy.
I stumbled on your channel today. Australia has been on my bucket list for a lifetime, but I know I'll never get there now. So I LOVE that I can visit these places vicariously through people like you! Thanks for sharing your beautiful adventures!
Aaargh, that is true! He is very descriptive, am enjoying the Channel too!
Occy and the drone...hilarious. You are a very good Dad to him. The water looks divine. Happy you and Oc have friends on the journey. Outstanding video Max! Thank you for sharing.

I did the 10k around Uluru in 1997 and at that time there was a metal chain up a side of it that idiot tourists could climb. I went on an indigenous guided tour instead of desecrating Uluru. The Indigenous guide shared that Uluru, culturally, was a masculine area and it was considered incredibly disrespectful and awful to climb it, especially women. Anyhow I am glad to see either you didn't mention the chain or it has been removed. And then we toured Mtn Olgas (which you pictured but didn't talk about), which were equally incredible and culturally considered the feminine area. I will remember those days until I die. Very powerful. Wonderful that you've visited.
It’s now illegal to climb.
Stunning! The waterhole looks like a painting. Thank you for bringing us around Uluru. Australia is a bucket list destination for sure! I love that you're advocating for the indigenous people and their ownership and respect for the land. Love that you and Occy have friends along for the journey!
That waterhole was so beautiful! Our favourite spot. And thank you, I am definitely still learning but that is what this journey is about 💛

@@MaxandOccy beautiful!! Okay I am curious, where do the tribes live?
Thank you for sharing this sacred place with us. I was very moved, especially by the rock drawings.
23 seconds into your video, and I said "No...this is too beautiful to watch on my TV. I've GOT to watch in on my Oculus" on a huge virtual screen!
It's so weird that I was just wondering if the gas prices were affecting your travels & then that ending came up. Pretty painful! Thanks for sharing your travels though. The diversity of Australia never ceases to amaze me!
Thank you for taking me back there! It's so beautiful. That was the first place I actually felt like I really 'saw' the milky-way. Laying out there at night with no light pollution and just falling into the sky. So amazing! Traveled up from Adelaide with three British friends, learning to play darts, drink Fosters, and let them take the piss out of we Americans:-) Great to think about that again. Many thanks!
Thanks for a wonderful tour Max! Thank you for acknowledging and being respectful of the first people of Australia. Colonization is something that continues to cause them harm and you're right, it isn't acknowledged enough. Have an amazing time with your mates.
Max you have always had the best video work. It always makes you feel you are right there with you. My travel days are over so being able to see this amazing place and hear about the indigenous people is a dream come true. I can't thank you enough for taking us along on the journey. Some of the others have so eloquently put into words how beautiful and truly otherworldly that Uluru is. Occy is beautiful as ever. Thanks again.
WOW! Uluru is truly breathtaking. Thank you for being so respectful of its significance to the Pitjantjatjara. Your cinematography and editing in this vlog is exceptional. Glad to see you’re travelling with friends. Shared experiences are the best. Love and hugs to Occy.
Max- thanks for this video. I've often wondered how drone shots were made, and now I have an idea. Would love to see footage of Occy's reaction to the drone...
Northern Hemispherians please note: Australia is now in winter.
From the internets:
Local Aboriginal people recognise five seasons:
1. Wanitjunkupai (April/May) - Cooler weather
2. Wari (June/July) - Cold season bringing morning frosts
3. Piriyakutu (August/September/October) - Animals breed and food plants flower
4. Mai Wiyaringkupai (November/December) - The hot season when food becomes scarce
5. Itjanu (January/February/March) - Sporadic storms can roll in suddenly
Looks like it's the season of Wari right now.
I thought, "Oh bummer, it's just a big rock!" Then you guys began rounding the other side, and it suddenly began to look like a giant creature of some sort... maybe from a scifi book. Then it started growing, and getting larger and larger. This rock is spectaular and utterly mindblowing... again, and again, and again. Thank you for sharing it with us, Max.
Uluru is so amazing! I visited in 1999. The. Colours were so beautiful. I was on a tour and the best was going to Kings Canyon as the rest of the group went up and I stayed down by myself in the flat part. I saw small birds and lizards and got to enjoy the quiet. Very spiritual. Glad you are having a good time!
Was there solo in fall of 92 when climbing was still allowed. horrible masses of folks huffing and puffing up to its heights. I climbed as my hubby had allowed me to go and he kept our two back in sydney and he wanted shots of it, but I turned and ran down as fast as I could and then walked the circumference, being mindful of the men's dreaming places, not to film or even look. I was completely alone, and again next day at Kata Tjurta. My mind was blown opened and hasneverclosed again. You did her brave justice. Thank you.
Your vlogs are just incredible, and always leave me waiting with baited breath for the next one! Thank you for all you do, and for being such a quality human to boot! Much love to the good boy, Occy too! 😊😊
Thank you 🙏🏼 💛
I had to cry when I watched this video…I got goosebumps…OMG!!
For me there are 3 places in the world which are magical: one of them is Uluru❤️
I can’t describe this feeling, you just have to be there…there is such a strength…you can feel it!! just wow…wow…wow
❤️❤️❤️
omg, the Black Cockatoos
You are one thoughtful dad for Occy! As someone who hates drones sounds, I appreciate it even more! Happy for your friends to join! Enjoy the ride! Cheers and lots of love from across the ocean! Pura vida!
Awe Occ! You’re a fantastic dog dad for taking special care of his sensitivities to the drone :) what a great tutorial as well. Technology is wild 🤯
It’s so wonderful Max when you can see/feel the cinematographer is artfully invested in making a meaningful and beautiful offering. I really appreciated watching this particular story because that quality really stood out…happy for your success!
Uluru is absolutely stunning! Thank you for taking us along with you. I really appreciated hearing about the Australian Indigenous culture and I had no idea it was the oldest in the world! Just wow! The puppy reunion was so cute! Glad you have company along the way now moving forward. 🚐 🐶 🇦🇺
Buy 4 solar rechargeable motion detector lights. Put them on motion detection mode only setting and place in four spots front and rear and side to side almost under your vehicle or all the way under if you want. All lights must be facing towards the center and not facing outward. I have been using this method for over a year now and it works better than any ultrasonic mouse trap blah blah blah that I have ever tried and if you try this you will see what I’m talking about. It scares the crap out of the mice and raccoons and any other critters that come under your van or RV When that light suddenly comes on and they don’t come back! Try this! You will not regret it and it’s a cheap remedy as they never come into your van at all at least in my case over the last year. Good luck!
He looks in the side mirrors 😂😂 got to love Occy 🥰
Uluru just went on my bucket list. Looking at the whorls and color shifts of the stone, the caves and pock marks - it puts me in mind of my favorite artist, Georgia O'Keeffe.
Thanks so much that was brilliant!!! Stunning scenery I will probably never get to see for myself (mostly due to my chronic pain) but now I have and it didnt hurt a bit🙏. My 1st vid of yours and look forward to so many more if they are like this. Occy is gorgeous. Safe and happy travels, glad you have someone to share them with 🤗
Inspired me… again! I can’t believe I’m an Aussie in my (cough) early fifties and have never seen desert! I so want to road trip with my daughter to see Uluṟu. Love your vlogs! Occy is the sweetest pup. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the tour.
I am disabled and on a fixed income, so in no way could I see such sites!
Thank you for letting those of us who can not explore the world to live vicariously through you.
It's 20 years since I've been to Uluru and your footage made me excited to see it again in a few years. Really gorgeous footage in this video. I had to laugh at the whole rigmarole around Occy & the drone!!! So funny for such a (usually) chilled out doggo ;-)
I had visited Uluru and the Olgas and it was breathtaking. I remember staying in a tiny home of sorts and the sun rises and sun sets. That trip to Australia had been on my bucket list for years and it was so worth it. I am glad that you were able to experience this magical location.
The natural wonders of the planet should always be valued and protected. Absolutely massive that is from the ground looking up.
Wow!!!! Extraordinary video! So beautiful. I do wish you would do a video that includes seeing how Occy reacts to the drone. Your comments and showing how you have to hide the drone business around Occy made me laugh. 🤣 Thanks for a gorgeous fun filled video. 👍❤️
Thank you for the visit to Uluru. Very cool to see more of it than the traditional photos and amazing to see all of that plant growth that I didn’t expect! Big hug to Occy and happy traveling to you! (Yes these new gas bills are shocking!)
I was there as part of a 2 day group tour from Alice Springs in 2002. Our guide was a brother of Ian Thorpe. It spilled rain on our arrival and there were waterfalls on all sides of The Rock. It was incredible. The guide said he had never witnessed it. Beautiful sunshine followed in the morning and got to see The Rock change through various shades and colours. It was memorable.
I’ve been looking forward to this one. Uluru has mesmerised me since I learnt about it as a child. I was lucky enough to visit in 2015. I’d recommend to people to fly in as you really get to see how magical these rock structures are (Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Mount Connor). After hours of flat desert you see these huge rock formations rising out of the ground.
Max, you did it justice in my opinion❣️even the shots of the native flora were stunning. glad you’ve got travel buddies now sucks about the fuel prices, I’ll shut up for paying $2.30/lt on the sunny coast 😂
So glad you are now with friends, I agree that there are times when being alone is a good thing, but then friends are the icing on the cake of life. Safe travels!
Max a Occy
Im happy to have come across your channel here in Australia 🇦🇺 yay im sick of American stuff all the time ! I ve been wanting to see Uluru ,and I really enjoyed watching so I’ve subscribed and im coming along 👍😎
Absolutely stunning Max. Although I have been to Kings Cannon a couple of times I never got to Uluru. I am pleased to see how respectful of the indigenous people and their land. Also grateful for the way you are educating further traveler's in showing respect. Amazing shots of the rock without showing everything as it does make a bucket list must do if you can. Enjoy your onwards travelers especially with friends. Stay safe.
If you and your friends get a chance to visit Kestrel Falls can you please take a moment to reflect at the seat dedicated to my daughter Zoë. Sadly lost but made a huge difference for future travellers safety as I believe you are doing with mental health awareness. It's a beautiful place with amazing views.
Wow, Max!!! That was a spectacular video. I am so impressed by your videography/editing skills. Thanks for the tutorial on how you do solo drone shots (you never did say what triggers Occy about the drone flights) ;-). I have always wondered how creators do that.
A couple of things that surprised me were how beautiful the desert was and also that it gets cold enough there that you would wake up to frost on your skylight. I am guessing that vidoes don’t due justice to the size and beauty of Uluru. As for your being a tour guide, you did a great job. It is obvious that you do a lot of research before talking about the sites that you are visiting. Super enjoyable video. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!!!
Thanks Ron I really appreciate all the kind words!!
Ha glad you enjoyed the insight with the drone.
It truly is a place you have to visit to get the full impact!

Uluru is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful ❤️ I can't even imagine seeing it in person...I might never leave!
So pleased to see this video today. My husband and I took a visit from the UK to Perth, Australia to see my sister in 2002 and I won 600 dollars on a Keeno game. We used the winnings to take a flight from Perth to Ayres Rock. To see it again up close in your video brought back some really wonderful memories - so thank you for sharing Max xx
The sheer vibration of that place is intense. I never had interest before, but I do now. I feel like I got zapped by the huge force of Mama Uluru.
The whole 'Occy stealth' mission is so relatable! I have a border collie and she hates telephones (ringing, talking) and there's a whole process to work around each time 🤣 Always worth it, wouldn't have it any other way ♥️
As often as Uluru has been filmed, I feel we rarely see the “inside”, so to speak. As you have said, you can’t film every nook and cranny because of the significance it has to the Aboriginal people, but it was so nice to see something else in addition to the exterior. Another great video bud! Keep it up. 🤙🏻

virtue-signaling rubbish
@@haiki198 , Don't simply chant stuff , u do not know as caution everybody. You might summon demons to u.
Absolutely beautiful!! What a wonderful tour. Thank-you so much, Max, for such a great tour of Uluru. Have seen pictures of it for years and have read and studied about its history and spiritual significance and, as a teacher, it was part of our Social Studies curriculum here in Alberta, Canada, so I’ve taught its history. Have never seen it from that point of view, however. Certainly never that close up! Just awesome!! Loved the drone tutorial and the introduction to the Ecoflow. Thanks for both of those. Another reason I enjoy your content. I have been watching your videos for several years, now, and really enjoy your content. I have learned so much from your van conversions, etc. etc. I think I’ll stop complaining about our gas prices, here, at a $1.80 a litre!! That is simply unbelievable! I almost choked on my tea when I saw what you are paying!! Yikes and Wow!!!! That is just terrible! Anyway, safe travels for all of you and big hugs to Occy and, of course, Alfred!! Looking forward to the next video! Take care!!😃😃😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Thanks mate!! I am so glad that I could bring you all along for this one. I know so many will never make it here and it truly blew me away. I am really glad to hear that you are even teaching about it over in Alberta. You will have to visit now!!
And thank you for your kind words. I am always wanting to add some form of value with my videos and by the sounds of it so far I am getting things right : )
Ha, yes. the Diesel prices definitely hurt!! Another reason why I greatly appreciate you Patrons!!! 💛
Totally agree with you mate great comment and Uluru is a very special and significant part of our beautiful country , As for the fuel prices i just paid $2.55 / litre almost $160 for just 60 litres which is around $12/gallon roughly 14 gallons for $160 . ✌️👍

That was incredible. Your filming on this one was superb, right down to the mirror shot in the van window.
I got a little shiver down my spine with your first close-up of Uluru. I can understand why it is a spiritual place. Would love to experience it in person with a member of the Anagu people.
Wow. What a beautiful journey. What a privilege to see such splendour, and to meet up with buddies too. Your channel rocks Max!
Great video - I’ve been lucky enough to visit Uluru 3 Times since 1986. It’s incredible - but elements now very commercialised.
What a magnificent and sacred place! It’s a someday place, but at 70 and with a health compromised hubby, I’m having my doubts…. Thank you for bringing the beauty and serenity of your gorgeous country to my small (and at the moment very cold) home in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. Love how smart Occy is with figuring out where the drone is…
Terrific video! Thoroughly entertaining! So good to see your spirit returning! And I can’t imagine that anyone thinks they know more about caring for Occy than you do! Too many people do not understand how a dog’s coat works as insulation from the heat as well as the cold. Thanks for taking us with you!
Absolutely stunningly beautiful! Thank you for sharing your experience with those of us who most likely won't ever see it in person. There seemed a spiritual feel to the place, even from video. Very special. Enjoy your travels with friends. Best wishes for a safe journey.
Things you do so your co pilot remains calm and unknowing. That made me smile.
thankyou … you make beautiful videos
i have visited Uluru ❤️and i am smiling watching this😍
it has such power and magnificent vibration
Tears in my eyes as I look at Uluru...will get there sometime - Max, thanks for the amazing cinematography and editing in these vlogs - the music is so perfect.
You are never alone Max. Your sweet dog Occy is with you now & forever.
How incredibly beautiful the scenery is. Your editing makes it even more amazing. Poor Occy but I'm so glad you use the drone. You have the nicest friends Max. Have we met Alfred before? Stay safe and happy you two.
Episode 3: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
If you’re ever at Uluṟu when it’s raining… wow 🤩 Water cascades into that waterhole and it looks amazing. The rock is such a different colour with the water streaming down.
Was there many years ago, late 70's, it is one majestic site that everyone should visit in their lifetime.
It's so AMAZING how smart our fur babies are and FUNNY!!! Blessings Max and Occy 👋😁🤗💞
Ah yes mice can be a problem no matter where you live in the world or in any type of home. We had them in the wall of our bungalow. I was cleaning and pulling all the cupboards apart and fridge and stove were moved. Didn't find them until we had a gas furnace put in and they had to put a vent in the wall by the kitchen. They found 2 dead mice! ... You at Uluru reminds of the book my sister in law sent my son (in Ontario Canada) when he was 3 ( 29 years ago). He loved that book and I read it to him every night for I don't know how long! ❤️😀🇨🇦
Aww so many memories in Uluru. I traveled around Australia for a college class 20 years ago. I remember the flies were killer on the dark side of uluru. It's so much greener this year! It's good to hear that the opinions about the aboriginal culture are getting better. Especially in Alice I remember that there seemed to be a LOT of tension. But, we did get to speak with an aboriginal man at the old telegraph station who opened our minds and hearts to his experience growing up an orphan at the station after being taken from his parents. So sad. I'm excited to see King's Canyon again. Be careful on those roads. Our trailer hitch broke on the way to kings canyon and we had to leave our luggage trailer... as our guide sped away blaring his SpiceWorld CD.
You truly capture beauty in such a gentle way. I genuinely loved watching this episode Max. Thank you
Another awesome video !!! The views and the show and tell on drone shots was so cool ! Look forward to next chapter in your travels . Well done !
When I was in school in England in the late 80s this was taught to us as Ayres Rock, its absolutely stunning
Oh Max just to see you and Occy smile -inst ant happy to see your mates Sam, Jess & Alfred. Thanks for capturing this footage you all made me smile too. Uluru rock is spectacular. WOW - the beauty. I wondered about the drone and the Occy drone story is so funny.
Occy is wayyyy to smart! Cant believe he even looks in the mirrors to find it! Love That doggo! Glad the travels have been safe Max! Always a great day when i see you post! 😂😂🙏🙏❤
Made me laugh too - clever dog - I wonder what Occy thinks the drone is!

I went to Uluru roughly 10 years, it's an absolutely majestic place. We had champagne and hors d'oeuvres at sunset with a front and center view of Ayers Rock. It was pretty fking dope.
Last time I visited Uluru was in 1996 and I always wanted to go back, this made me cry a little. Had plans to go in 2020 which obviously fell apart. I’ve been waiting for exactly these pictures since you said you were going to travel Australia. I wish you safe travels from Germany. Christian
Australia is a stunning country. Thanks for highlighting your travels, it’s very inspiring. It’s also great to see someone in warm weather, not the same in Melbs at the moment

You really have to work hard to outsmart Occy, LOL😂❤
I was in Australia a number of years back. Went on a Rock Tour. Spent 3 nights sleeping under the stars a few spots including Uluru. Amazing how the colours change with the sun. Gorgeous except for the same flies. I had a head net so made out better than the rest. Lol. Have fun!! 🇨🇦
Loved your tutorial on how you use the drone. Especially enjoyed that you had to white noise the sound of the drone and your description of Occy behaving like a pinball if he hears it! Laughed my socked off! Our lives wouldn’t be the same without our animals! 😘❤️🤣
Oh my, what an unexpected treat for me to watch you on a Saturday night from my place (in NW France). Definitely on my bucket list to do with my grown children someday. Thx for the tour, lovely photography and respect for Uluru as well as the Indigenous Australians ♡ I am originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Utah has more national parks than any other state (5). Southern Utah, Moab, Arches National Park, and other areas in Utah remind me of where you are because of the desert, petroglyphs, beautiful vistas. My late mom was a geologist and always pointed out geological features wherever we ventured, wish she could have made it to Australia and Uluru. Have a safe rest of your trip, I'll be following ♡ Cheers, Cindy
Max, What I liked most about this vid, well after all the Occy moments, is that you never once said the words “Ayer’s Rock”. Good on you!
Thanks Max & Occy! 🌈
So Happy to see a big smile on your face,Occy too! I will love following you & your friends on this new adventure, take care & good luck.
There was even more to love in this video, which is saying something, since I love all your videos! Thank you for showing me such wonderful sights - this one brought happy tears to my eyes.🥰
Lol Occy. Even looks in the side mirror 🤣 what a smart kid you have. Thanks for always sharing your travels. Beautiful place you shared ❤️
So amazing, reminds me of our trip to the Grand Canyon. Literally will take your breath away. Occy is such a character. Your videos make me so happy. TFS
Did you know that the Earth has its own chakras? Uluru is the Earth's Solar Plexus chakra. I inadvertently learned about the Earth's chakras after visiting Stonehenge, which is the Earth's Heart chakra. It explained a lot once I learned this, because I remember feeling so magnetically drawn to the stones. I just kept walking around them slowly, feeling so spiritually connected. It was a magical and unique experience, and totally unexpected. I always feel a powerful connection when I'm in nature, which is not so unusual, but this was such a deeply intense experience. I almost missed my bus! I was blown away upon learning that it was an energetic power centre of the Earth and that what I experienced wasn't just my imagination.
While watching this video of Uluru, I felt a strong spiritual connection to this spot, and when I looked it up on a hunch, I learned (or re-learned) that it was indeed on my Earth chakra bucket list. Sounds weird to write about this, because it's not exactly a popular topic of conversation. Stonehenge was certainly a magical place and I'm curious to experiencing the other six Earth chakras. Truthfully, I had tucked this bucket list away in the back of my mind until seeing this...life has a way of doing that.
Thank you, Max and Occy, for reconnecting me to this dream! And thank you for taking us along on your wonderful adventures! 🐶
Wow, I'm an Aussie and I still haven't been to Uluru. It's been on my bucket list forever. It's so beautiful. Thanks for the tute on how you set up your drone, I've always wondered how you filmed yourself when driving. And the fuel costs!! 😱😲
THAT is MASSIVE! What a treat for you to see it and with your friends, and taking us along ❤️ Wow!
Occy has the best Dad Ever!! You look happy. So Good to see you guys!! You did not address the mice comment?!? Stunning places to visit. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for the drone explanation, I always wondered but never asked!! You did ohlaru (sp?) justice...the scope and cultural significance, bang on!
Hugs from 🇨🇦
Let me just say I think (hope) indigenous cultures are finally getting the respect they are due!
Damn, Occy looking out side mirrors... You need to give him a map!
Really beautiful! Loved all the animals too! You got some amazing footage of them! 💛
Thanks Cindy!! I was able to get a new zoom lens for shooting animals so quickly thanks in large to you Patrons. Appreciate you helping up my video game!! 💛
Another stunner. Oh Max- it is so good to see you and Occy! Thank you! Much love!
Loved visiting Alice Springs, the Outback, and hiking around Uluru and through the Olgas and the Valley of the Winds, albeit about 20 years before you shot this video. Also spent a couple of night at the Yulara resort and, after a long day of very dusty, sweaty hiking, had to quickly shower and through on a proper dress to go to dinner at Argnuli(?) Grill. A drastic change from being dusty & covered in sunscreen, to being in a dinner dress and heels a few hours later. lol
Uluru is a must see, for sure, as is much of the Red Center and even further up in the NT. Great video and beautiful cinematography.
I climbed the Rock before they closed it off....... Awesome views of the Aussie Outback from up there..... You cannot believe how cold it is in the mornings just before and after sunrise..... Freezing.
I have to say my day walking the Valley of the Winds at Kata Tjuta is on my Best Day in My Life list. We were the first to walk through the valley that morning and all the wildlife was there and the birds, too, we even saw a falcon hunting.
I agree, the Valley of the Winds at nearby Kata Tjuta (aka The Olgas) is a spiritual experience. According to a leading tour guide and writer there, Uluru is spiritually ‘dead’ as the Aborigine spirits have deserted it for Kata Tjuta. I certainly felt the spiritual difference when I walked both, without having known about it beforehand.
Ooooh............ I am sooo hoping I can get back out there again............ Truly stunning country!
If I could move elsewhere Australia is the place, I never knew that the outback was so gorgeous!
Still have great memories of Uluru! I was there in 1998 with a group and the tour guide explained the significance of Uluru to the indigenous people and that he would advise/suggest not to climb the rock. Some of the group still insisted on climbing it and the rest walked around while the guide explained so much and showed us many fantastic rock paintings. Was an unbelievable experience!
Thanks for sharing these great pictures with us. When I was in Australia some years ago I missed visiting Uluru. Your video makes me think about coming back to aus with my family and catch up on these missed memories.
This is so funny! Our border collies know so many sounds they will react like this too! Head torches are the worst! Any button clicks they start looking for light!
Max, that scenery was absolutely unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Uluru (I hope that is how it’s spelled) is truly magnificent and mystical at the same time. What a treat for the eyes. It seems like a truly spiritual and/or religious experience to be in that spot. I’m glad you will be traveling with friends for a short time now. And for Occy too. He was more than happy to see his doggo bestie. I can’t wait until your next video. Safe travels. Love from Florida 💕☀️🤗🐾
