    Alta WY is where I am from. My uncle was one of the biggest influencers of building that resort. The little cemetery on the north side of the road coming down the canyon is where my grandparents, parents and uncles and aunts are buried and where we have our burial plots. The Little Rock church is where attended church when I was a child. It is truly the most beautiful place on earth.
    Also. Those mountains are whew Yellowstone dumps their naughty bears so you probably made the correct decision on not getting too far from “civilization” and the view from that side is by far the best view.

    Your family inspired us to take our 15 year old grandson on an epic adventure to go from Coast to Coast this past summer. I had watched every video you ever produced and learned so much. Not only on how to address issues that arise while traveling with a travel trailer but, how to do it with teenagers and l am forever grateful to you for that.
    We made it 7 weeks of our planned 11 week vacation before our trailer was t boned in corn country Ohio and vacation was over.
    While the accident was so terrifying to the point that we will never tow a trailer that big again, l can’t stop watching your videos of your wonderful family out there living life. The videos bring tears to my eyes filled with joy. I love your girls, l wish only the very BEST for you all and if you ever get to southern Oregon again, l would love to be your person tour guide.
    Keep doing what you’re doing ❤

    I was concerned when I saw you intended to do a longer hike. Yes, there are lots of grizzlies around Targhee. I came so close to retiring there and found an amazing and COOL log house in Tetonia with the views! It was rather remote, but high up enough to have the views.....in the end I decided it was not a good place to be a single elderly lady, but oh how I wanted to be there! Glad you enjoyed the hike.

    Love your channel. I went to the Art Institute of Atlanta for photography when I was young, late 20's. While I was into my career as a union ironworker. Am 65 now. That is when I loved taking pictures, taking stills, nature, and learned to love black & white photos. Infrared was also fun but hard to get right as you want in the dark room. Point being. Saying goes, the cream rises to the top. Well my son, the way you shoot you are at the top of the cream pile. The way you shoot the landscape you are just begging us to go there. There are no words. You are the Ansel Adams of the RV channels. Thank You !!!

    I am retired and work in either Yellowstone or Grand Teton every summer. I recommend having bear spray any time you are outside in those two parks as well as Glacier or Denali. Twice I have walked out of a park building and have been startled by a bear.

    • @FindingOurSomeday
      @FindingOurSomeday  Рік тому +1

      That was what was strange for us, we always have bear spray when we do anything out west. We weren’t even in a rush to head out the door🤷‍♂️

  • @carlsanders4680
    @carlsanders4680 Рік тому

    I know now you can fix a photo on the computer in a couple of minutes. I miss the days of 35mm film where you had to fix every thing in the dark room. Where 5 seconds in the fix could make or break a photo. If it was broke, start over. Time consuming. But, if you were right. What a feeling !!! Your composition is your key Corey. Always spot on. What needs to be in focus is. Background, in focus or not is spot on. Time laps are really cool. Aerial photos are spot on.
    When it comes to photography, there is nothing you do wrong.

    Your videos are always so beautiful and inspiring. Right now, our family is going through a rough time as we lose my father-in-Law to lung cancer. This video gave me 22 minutes to escape. Thank you!! I don't know what was said about bats, but Bats are one of the most misunderstood animals. People imagine them to be blood-sucking, rabies-ridden, hair-tangling, night-stalking, loathsome creatures. The truth is, very few bats (less than 1 percent) carry rabies. Even fewer bats are bold enough to come near people, and most feed on pollen or insects. Bats can eat up to 1,000 mosquitos an hour.

    My wife watches your channel all the time but I just saw this episode today. We lived in Idaho and spent a lot of time on that hill, winter and summer. We have a special attachment to Grand Targhee. I thought that you might like to know that the flat area you saw on the back side of Fred's Mountain is called 'Beard's Wheat Field". Apparently Mr. Beard, when he first saw it, thought it looked like a good place for a wheat field. I guess he didn't know that it is solid rock. And just up the next hill, where you decided not to go, is the site of one of the high ski cliff jumps ever done. You can look it up on UA-cam.

    Another video where my brain just hurts when it ends. I really don't think a full length movie would be long enough. It's almost like "I can't stare long enough" at your videos. 😅 I hate that our 'Someday' has to wait until retirement. I know it's not supposed to, but it does, then we can stare at these things for ourselves. Love you're videos.

    We were hiking in the park at the Grand Teton's last summer and at about mile 8 of a nine mile hike with two family's and 3 pre-teen kids we came around a stand of trees and were 20 feet from a grizzly sitting in a clearing Winnie the pooh style tearing a log apart eating bugs. It looked over its shoulder at as as we slowly backed our way up the trail. We did have bear spray with us but luckily it decided to get up and walk off into the woods. Looking back it was amazing, but in the moment not one of us even felt comfortable going for a phone to take a picture.

    Jess, it is not your fault that you didn't bring bear spray. There are four adults in your group. Just because you always have taken care of them doesn't mean that you always have to in the future. Let them be grown and have some adult responsibility. That includes you Cory.

    Nice hike, reminds me of the one in Vail, Co. that takes you up to Eagles Nest. I did Craters of the Moon when I did my Yellowstone trip several years ago and we camped at their campground, I was there in July so it was pretty hot on the surface(around 100F) but down inside the lava tubes you need a jacket if you plan to stay a while plus there's ice in the tighter places. Down inside some of the cinder cones is snow that will never melt as well, funny place but bring knee pads if you want to do some of the lava tube crawls because lava rock is not pleasant to crawl on without them.

Some people are “embarrassed” because of the stigma of having it. But when you need it, you sure wish you had it. Looks like a beautiful trip.

    FYI. Bear spray is just candy for grizzlies around there. They have no fear of humans there. I. Fron MT, just north of Yellowstone Park and know 4 people who have been mauled by grizz and one guys was killed by last spring and it wasn’t a pretty sight.

      The stories this year have been really bad. Bear spray is one of our deterrents! 😉

    What a nice place to visit. Problem is there's no campgrounds for at least 60 miles. I'm in disbelief. Thanks for sharing the sights.

    Hi! Gang: It never hurts to be careful in bear country. I once ran into a mama black bear and cub. I didn't I didn't know it until almost too late. I had heard what sounded like a city dog with its collar hung up on a stiff brush limb. But it was down the slope a ways below me. Further up, I reached the crest where you would get the first view of a remote lake, my destination. But all of a sudden I heard a tremendous thrashing in the brush off to the side of the trail. It was the most violent thrashing I had ever heard. There was a huge fir tree near where I thought I might see what was doing the thrashing. But the brush was so thick I could see nothing. There was some bark and moss coming down from above on the tree. Making sure nothing was coming my way, I took a quick look up in the tree. There was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. A small blonde black bear cub looking down at me while hanging onto the tree with its claws. Right then the thrashing stopped! And I knew from Disney wildlife movies, I was in the wrong place. It was the mama bear doing the thrashing, and I was closer to her cub than she was! Though never saw her.
    All I had for protection was a small 9mm auto pistol. And I knew if loud shots fired into the air didn't make her keep her distance, There was no hope for me at all.
    I backed down the trail slowly, looking in all directions to make sure the mama bear wasn't sneaking up on me. After I was a good ways away from where the bear had been,I then turned down hill and kept a fast pace until I was out of the area.
    I did go back a week later, loaded for bear, but but saw none. The lake was a good fishing spot. But I never liked the idea of fishing while looking over my shoulder for bear. Ha! I kind of wish I'd had a camera that day. But on the other hand I don't think I would have taken the time to take a photo, not knowing just how close mama bear was.

    The guy from the Ken Burns national park series …. He’s a real NP officer that works at Yosemite. A couple years ago we saw him there and talked with him, he was doing a skit kind of thing and promoting a book. Nice guy and cool to talk to.
