    I can’t help but watch to the end! You’re living your best life! And you have a lot of compassion and a great sense of humour.
    Cruze is like a Swiss Army Knife: part hot water bottle to keep you cozy at night; part guard dog to protect your camp; part hunter to put food on the table (or in his belly); part sled dog, to drag you clear across camp and part winch to pull the van out of ditch (so long as you put a bird on the ground in front of him) 😂😋👍

    I think the 14 nights thing is to avoid people living there or taking up all the space in the summer time.

    My last van trip I started the van at 5:30am. Drove all day, kept it on for a few to keep the heat pumping. Shut it down about 1:00am hahaha. I work alot and needed to burn some gasoline. If you ever find yourself on the East Coast USA again. Check out the Smokey Mountains. Fun little hills.

    Hey!!! You can stay 14 days in a row and then leave and come back a day later and stay 14 more days. If you are leaving between those 14 days you can come back again and again. I looked it up and it's the same in Alberta but we have 16 days. Enjoy that Park!!!

    I didn’t notice the strength you were putting behind those snowballs in Emily’s video… but in your video you could hear the loud smack when it hit her.
    Question… aren’t your legs cold out in those snowy, cold conditions?

      zombies (they where waiting for it to be fixed).

    I'm down the Coast in Nor-Cal and this is the coldest winter I can remember, we occasionally get a light sprinkling of snow but it's been snowing off and on all week and the ice is brutal. The last 2 weeks have been so cold, I went to the beach and it was sunny but cold its nice seeing all the snow on the local mountains. Oh well we needed all this rain and snow for the drought anyhow I'm looking forward to normal winter weather. Oh and I doubt that the campground will say anything during the off season, as long as there are spaces they'll probably be happy to see someone using it.

    • @christinamann3640

      I couldn’t believe the weather there. I was watching Foresty Forest in Southern California a week ago, and I thought he was back up in Alberta. That was a blizzard! Some towns are still trying to dig out, I hope they do soon as they need to restock.
