How FUN!!! I'm so glad your meetup went well.. LOVED all the Owen-styled happy dances! I also appreciate how you rate wherever you go... good info for everyone.
I love your rating system for campgrounds. It is easy to use and well laid out. It was great to see so many of your friends at the meetup. Hi Maggie!!! Cheers 😘🥂😘
What a great idea for a meetup-wish I was in Florida this year yo be able to attend but in AZ instead. As Im sure you and everyone knows, the happy dance isnt just about the food. Its about the joy of being alive and grabbing the brass ring no matter where you are! AZ is wonderful.
You don't need twist my arm to go to Florida, but I couldn't swing the drive, just now. I wish so much to meet-up with you guys, and it looked like a fantastic gathering. Thanks for taking me virtually. Love you guys! Peace & Prayers!
Love spending time with y'all on Sunday morning. What a great group of people on this journey with you. Proud to call you friends. Happy tails and safe travels.
Congratulations on what looked like a very successful meet up. The venue you chose was perfect. Everyone looked like they were having a great time, including yourselves. Hope you do more, so someday I can attend. Stay well.
Really appreciate your reviews, sorry we missed the Plant City get-to-gether. I was not paying attention to your posts and missed it as it was just a 30 minute drive from the house.
We are new and loving the channel. We watch your videos and take notes to help us plan a trip! Your suggestions and feedback are great! We were just wondering if you did meet ups and looks like we just missed it. Hope you plan another meet up!
We’ve done one very small meet up in Florida last year and it was great. I’m not sure when we will plan another. Thank you so much for staying turned to our videos, it is much apprecaited.
Looks like everyone had a great time. We're heading to Kissimmee in a few days. So sorry we missed your meet up. Hopefully we'll get to run into you two on the road sometime. Thanks for giving us all an encouraging break from all that's going on in this world. It's a nice escape. 😉🚐
We’ve had the Nemo chairs for a couple of years and love them. People always stop and ask what kind of chairs do we have? Early on, I decided the only thing missing was a foot rest, so I got a little expandable stool that works perfectly! And Lynn, you don’t have to reply. Save some time. 😊
I do have to reply because you take the time to comment. So glad to hear you like your Nemo chairs… so far we are both loving ours. We are using Maggie’s bed as our foot stool.
Your first meet up was a hit! Everyone looked so happy to be there, and those strawberry shortcakes are worthy of a hundred happy dances. It was disturbing to hear that someone left a fire smoldering with bottles and cans in the fire ring at your site because in the right conditions, that could have caused a big fire, plus - bottles and cans don’t burn. Hope you enjoyed the Everglades; can’t wait to see your videos from that trip. Safe travels wherever you are and hugs for sweet Maggie.
Glad you guys had a great meet up. We were near the Everglades two weeks ago. Found Bob's Here on our way to the park. We had planned to visit and get a shake but accidently found it early. Also enjoyed Miami Brewery a few miles away. Hope you have a great time.
WOW ! What a wonderful first family meet up ! Happy faces and happy dance participants bring joy to the heart ! Eating a bowl of Plant City's famous strawberry shortcake is a guaranteed fun event . THANK YOU for sharing.
I bought this hat because I saw Debbie from “She to Me” wearing it, and I love it. It’s a Wallaroo Hat Company Men’s, I ordered a medium. I’ll try to add it to our Amazon store. www.amazon.com/shop/VanTrekkingLifestyle
Those kids on the skateboards are skilled, nice job! Wow!! That meetup was great!! We definitely would have loved to come, but we have a new grandson now 🙂. Y'all are so likeable, of course you would meet some awesome new friends. The strawberry shortcake looked as good as the last time. Maggie had fun too! Fair assessment of the park. Shame on the campers leaving a mess. 👍🙂
Well us and organized is not something you see in the same sentence too ofter Debbie. Owen just said let's do it at the shortcake place and that way if nobody comes we can still have shortcake. We posted an event on our Facebook page and did a post on UA-cam. That was it. Set a time, called the restaurant to make sure it was OK and then just showed up. We did come up with a few drawing questions and the happy dance contest and stopped and bought prizes for each of them. But it was a very laid back event.
Looks like you had so much fun at your meetup. That was cute with that little girl doing the happy dance. You gave out nice gifts. Sorry I was t there but I was there in spirit. And it was fun watching everyone doing the happy dance. Great on the meetup. And see there was a great turn out. Meetups look so fun. Love you guys! Love Maggie! Have a great weekend and week. See you soon!
We've just now caught up on your videos after returning home from a three week camping trip in south east Georgia. As always, your videos are fun to watch. Thanks for your continued great content. Safe journeys to you as you continue on the road.
What a beautiful day! The video made me so happy for you and all the folks who came and sad that we couldn't be there. It felt like seeing a video of a family reunion we missed. I'm thrilled y'all had such a great response! That SP looked like a good one (sorry the fire was still burning). Lynn looked like she had a halo when she was working in front of the sunset! Thanks for bringing us along this way. So much love from SC ❤️ 🙏 Jane (Maggie is a great Greeter for your meetups.)🐾
How sweet was that little girl running to you like she's know you her whole life! She almost made me cry! Great turnout! Doesn't surprise me! Everybody loves you three! I saw an Ekko on Hilton Head yesterday. I said "There's Maggie and her Mama & Daddy", :)
Great meet up! I did a thing last week. I finally made up my mind and bought my new ride, a 2023 Thor Rize so looking forward to say I’m no longer a wanna bee and getting back out on the road with my Maggie and Max 🐶🐕. You inspired and gave me the confidence to think I could handle the cassette toilette……..Happy Days! 🎉 Hope to run into you three sometime but until then Happy Tails. I’m updating my bucket list destinations📝📓.
Hope to meet you both if you have another meet up. Missed this one as I didn’t see the notice ahead of time and we were in the area. Love your campsite summaries as will use them in selecting sites for next winter’s trip to Florida. Keep on dancing.
The meetup was really neat, Maggie and Shannon kept things lively 😊. Grading the State Parks is helpful for your viewers (me) who may be hesitant and unfamiliar with those Parks, the way I would like to visit Florida. I know your videos are a lot of work so thank you for all your effort, really like the videos. Can’t wait to get my MH on the road soon but more crappy weather headed for here and most state parks are not open until April. The weather is a tease from day to day so have to be patient. Safe travels and Happy tails. 🙋🏼♀️🚗🇺🇸🐕
There is a trail up near the bike shop that is hiking only. It's a fantastic trail with lots of hill work for Florida. Plenty of birds and critters to see. You are right about the mountain biking, some awesome rides for that, but not much for the older riders like me.
Did you get a chance to go through the Roadtrek Pivot ? Heard it was rated best in the show? What’s your opinion if you went through it. Keep up the great work!!
Next time we'll announce it a little earlier and also in a video. Not everyone saw the post on UA-cam and not everyone is on Facebook. We hope we see you.
@@Jim-wm1td most state parks that we’ve camp don’t charge a daily fee but there were several in Georgia that are considered a resort that you have to pay but you also don’t book them on the States reserve system. Vogel SP and Unicoi SP are two that come to mind.
We've had Picco chairs for the longest time but just changed over to Nemo Stargaze Recliners. Both are listed in our Amazon store at www.amazon.com/shop/VanTrekkingLifestyle
So glad your meet and greet went well. It's a dang shame people don't clean up after themselves. And to leave a fire burning is horribly irresponsible.
How FUN!!! I'm so glad your meetup went well.. LOVED all the Owen-styled happy dances! I also appreciate how you rate wherever you go... good info for everyone.
It was truly humbling and a real blast. Everyone's dance was better than Owen's goofy dance but it sure made him smile.
Looked like everyone truly enjoyed themselves.
I love your rating system for campgrounds. It is easy to use and well laid out. It was great to see so many of your friends at the meetup. Hi Maggie!!! Cheers 😘🥂😘
Thanks for letting us know you like the ratings. We had a great group of people to show up at our meetup. We are very blessed.
What fun with all of those "Happy Dances"!!! Wish we could have been present too. Good name "Backtrackers"...lol.
We wish you could have been there too, maybe next time.
What a great idea for a meetup-wish I was in Florida this year yo be able to attend but in AZ instead. As Im sure you and everyone knows, the happy dance isnt just about the food. Its about the joy of being alive and grabbing the brass ring no matter where you are! AZ is wonderful.
That is so true about the happy dance… thanks for the reminder. Have a great time in AZ.
Oh we wish had known. We certainly would have joined you. Such FUN.
Sorry we didn’t do well at letting everyone know, we’ll do better next time. It was kind of last minute too.
You don't need twist my arm to go to Florida, but I couldn't swing the drive, just now. I wish so much to meet-up with you guys, and it looked like a fantastic gathering. Thanks for taking me virtually. Love you guys! Peace & Prayers!
I think we’ll meet up on the road sometime. We go to a lot of the same places.
Why do I get teary eyes when I watch ur videos ❤️❤️❤️
What a sweet comment…. Thank you!
As always enjoy your channel!! Thank you for sharing this with me!! As always BS & BK & BC
You are so welcome. As always we appreciate you following along.
Our pleasure dear friend!
I like the rating system, very helpful, thanks
We love you! So much fun! Be safe! 🥰💕🙏
Thank you so much… we love you too.
That was a really fun meetup and it was so fantastic meeting you!! Love the video of it also!!!
Thanks so much for coming. It was great meeting you.
I enjoyed this video, everyone seems to have been so happy, I am always glad to see Maggie 🐕
I’m so glad you had a great turnout for your meetup. You deserve it.
Thanks for the nice support. It was so humbling for sure.
Very entertaining!
Thank you guys.
You are so welcome and thank you so much for watching.
We wish we could have joined you. At least Ontario was represented!! It looked so fun. Love from Ontario Canada ♥️
The Ontario guy won the Happy dance too. We love you guys.
Love spending time with y'all on Sunday morning. What a great group of people on this journey with you. Proud to call you friends. Happy tails and safe travels.
It was a great group of people and they all felt like friends. Proud to call you a friend too.
Congratulations on what looked like a very successful meet up. The venue you chose was perfect. Everyone looked like they were having a great time, including yourselves. Hope you do more, so someday I can attend. Stay well.
Hope we see you at one one day too. We loved the venue for sure.
Sorry I didn’t see your meet up. I work in Plant City. Glad you enjoyed yourselves! See you next time.😊
Sorry you didn’t see the meet up post. Next time we’ll try and post more reminders. It was a last minute thing too. Hate we missed you.
Really appreciate your reviews, sorry we missed the Plant City get-to-gether. I was not paying attention to your posts and missed it as it was just a 30 minute drive from the house.
So wish you could have been there, it would have been great to meet in person.
Very nice meet up
Good turnout!

Great job guys.
Thanks, we appreciate you watching.
That’s awesome the meet up !!! You guys Rock !!! Maggie we love you🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Carmen!
Awesome FUN!! Wish we could have been there. Still waiting for our Ekko…Ekko….Ekko….Ekko… 🙂. Thanks for sharing the Fun. Had to do a Happy Dance…
Wish we'd seen you too. Hopefully you'll get your Ekko... Ekko... Ekko... soon. 🤣

So nice. I’m in Lakeland. Enjoy. Stay safe!
Thanks so much for watching.
Glad you had a great turnout for your meet up! I'm not surprised a lot of folks came out to see you and the star of the show Maggie! :o)
Yes. Maggie was the star for sure.

It was so great meeting everyone that came to our meetup, i can even explain how special it was for us. Thank you so much for following along.
Another great video. Some of those happy dancers could mimic Owen really well! Wish we could have been there! You need to do one in TN!
It was pretty funny watching the people doing their imitations… because it was supposed to be their own happy dance. We had a great time.
Glad you guys had a great meet up. We were near the Everglades two weeks ago. Found Bob's Here on our way to the park. We had planned to visit and get a shake but accidently found it early. Also enjoyed Miami Brewery a few miles away. Hope you have a great time.
We did have a great time in the Everglades, we’ll have to put Miami Brewery on the list for next time.
WOW ! What a wonderful first family meet up ! Happy faces and happy dance participants bring joy to the heart ! Eating a bowl of Plant City's famous strawberry shortcake is a guaranteed fun event . THANK YOU for sharing.

🥰 That was a wonderful meetup... kind and loving! Thanks for sharing.
It was wonderful. We love meeting our subscribers…
What a “sweet” meetup! 🍓 Thanks for sharing it with us all! Pressing question though: where did you get your cute hat Lynn? 😉
I bought this hat because I saw Debbie from “She to Me” wearing it, and I love it. It’s a Wallaroo Hat Company Men’s, I ordered a medium. I’ll try to add it to our Amazon store. www.amazon.com/shop/VanTrekkingLifestyle

Makes us smile that you can compare the shortcake to the last time we had it. 🤣
Looked like tons of fun and strawberry shortcake too! You’ll have to tell me how you organized it.

What fun! I knew you'd come through with a mellow, plant-filled venue. I had no doubt that your first meet-up would be a rousing success.
Thank you, it was just so great meeting so many like minded people.
Wish we could have seen you two there! One day!
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle We never know! For sure, if you make it to Assateague!
It was a fun morning. Nice to meet the three of you and fellow followers.

We've just now caught up on your videos after returning home from a three week camping trip in south east Georgia. As always, your videos are fun to watch. Thanks for your continued great content. Safe journeys to you as you continue on the road.
Welcome back! Hope it was a fun trip.
So many new friends to meet! ❤️🐾
Yep. So many names to remember too. 🤣🤣🤣
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle dang, and at our age, no small feat! ❤️🐾
That's right Owen; the only time you need to clean a coffee cup is when you notice a significant decrease in the volume of coffee it can hold!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video.
Thanks, we appreciate you wanting.
I just bought that nemo chair yesterday. I'm looking forward to some naps in it
I hope you like it as much as we do.

One of the day we are going to meet you and it’s going to be a happy one. It was like a family reunion… very special.

Shannon was the sweetest. You have no idea how many people recognize Maggie before they recognize us. She is the star.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Maggie is the star of the show!
What a great time. I wonder if they all came to see Maggie! Looking forward to a NC meet up.
Maggie is the star so I’m sure everyone wanted to see her.
If y’all ever come to the Chattanooga or Smokey Mountain area please let us know ahead of time we would love to come meet you all three God Bless
We will do that. It would be great to meet up.
Pretty cool look like you guys were having fun. Owen I agree with the coffee cup idea,
🤣🤣🤣. So now I just wash one coffee cup each morning.

NEVER!
Ohh I wanna go to the next one, that looks like fun!
Next time we'll announce it a little earlier and also in a video. Not everyone saw the post on UA-cam and not everyone is on Facebook. We hope we see you.
How did one find out about your meetup in plant city?
We posted it on Facebook several times. Sorry if we missed you.
Cool party! for the state park campsite, do you also need to pay the daily park entry fee?
No
Dawn was correct if you camp you do not have to pay the daily park fee.
Good to know that. You have been in many states, what about other states? @@VANTREKKINGlifestyle
@@Jim-wm1td most state parks that we’ve camp don’t charge a daily fee but there were several in Georgia that are considered a resort that you have to pay but you also don’t book them on the States reserve system. Vogel SP and Unicoi SP are two that come to mind.
Question: when home, do you guys use your wiki as a daily driver like you did with your revel or travato?
Not as much but we do still use it when one of us has the other car or for when we need to go out of town on a day trip.
What kind of chairs do you guys have?
We've had Picco chairs for the longest time but just changed over to Nemo Stargaze Recliners. Both are listed in our Amazon store at www.amazon.com/shop/VanTrekkingLifestyle
