We're on the last few miles of the Cassiar then heading to Vancouver and finally crossing the border back into the USA. It's been one epic summer of adventure, travel and discovery through our Alaska Bound trip. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

40 years ago, my husband and I drove up to Vancouver from Los Angeles for our honeymoon. My heart jumped when I saw the Peace Arch. He took a picture of his young bride there so many years ago. ❤️
I want come there but i dint have money .....😊😊
I did the exact same thing with my girlfriend in 1980 - Los Angeles to Vancouver - Sunshine all the way up thru Oregon and Washington and the second we crossed into British Columbia , RAIN . Fun times !
I first discovered you guys sailing. Sailing the world was a dream of mine when I was younger. Been a sub for a year or so. Looking back on these earlier vids has been fun. Love you guys.😊👍✌
Thanks for bringing us along with you. Your zest for living life to its fullest is contagious!
U'R are Loved x 10!
I've been watching you guys for a year now and I'm obsessed. I love your beautiful personalities. Thank you for sharing your adventures. It's very inspiring. Stay safe.
over the summer spent a week doing a loop of Vancouver island and it was incredible. trails to hike, nice small towns, friendly people and beaches with no one around. really a great hidden gem.
I just got back from Alaska on Aug 23 I drove up the Al-CAN highway from start to finish. this was the longest drive I ever did I saw a lot and did a lot. I took the Denali bus tour,and the helicopter flight to the glacier..THAT IS A MUST!!!
I came back and went down highway 37 that was the longest highway I have ever been on,stayed at Prince George and then drove back home.. I was tied up for about 15-30 minutes ,at the alder grove crossing I had to explain twice why I was in Canada,and for how long. The next time Igo up I'm going to take the ferry to Skagway,then the train ride,and go dome the Keni Pensula
It was a great trip and a lot of fun hope to do it again some day
Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure! What fun! Stay adventurous! Stay safe!
Neat look at the little towns and tourist traps without the glossy filters and postcard views. There's a lot of drudgery to road trips... exit ramps, gas stations and overcast days in between charming coffee shops and hidden waterfalls. As always, you guys did a great job of conveying the full experience, from the unexpected costs (Airtram, island ferry) to the great little moments like bears foraging in parking lots. Thanks for taking us along... each video makes me itchy to get out on the road and explore!
We went up to that area last summer and rented an rv. we loved it so much that we bought one and go camping all the time now. We want to go back.
I really enjoyed this.
You did a great job documenting your trip.
There is a lot of useful information here for anyone who wants to follow in your tracks.
Thanks for taking us along.
Happy Trails!
Very entertaining and informative. Thank you so much for posting.
Beautiful scenery! Thanks for sharing!
The cats staring intently out the window at the bear is hilarious. Love it.
Amazing wood carvings in Hope! Thank you for another wonderful video. I don't know what I'll do when you move to a boat. Certainly I'll continue to follow you then, but, as an aspiring RVer, they won't have quite the same must-see aspect to them that these do. I wish you well in your future adventures on the water, but I intend to savor all your remaining RVing videos all the more. :-)
loved the way the cats quietly looked at the bear, welcome to BC.
yeah...maybe they have a union thing that says theyre not part of its diet.
I"m glad they didn't jump or fall out. Need to keep the screen closed.
Enjoyable to watch! Thanks for the tour! 👍💯
This was an amazing series. I can't wait for my turn, next year.
Thank you so much for this!!
I don't understand why you guys don't have more subscribers. Your video production values are fantastic and informative. Maybe you don't have enough drama... like other UA-camrs. Keep up the good work.
That Peace Arch crossing back into the U.S. Is always a wild card. I've crossed it many times, and they are WAY stricter than the Canada side. At least you got to keep your booze!! 😄
YOUR LOGO is brilliant! enjoyed this!
man! you two really know how to live! thanks!
I envy your youthful enthusiasm!
Nice adventure
Canada is heaven on earth for sure.. I'm so driving to alaska next summer from fort nelson 😍
Thanks for sharing a wonderful journey with us ..
Looks like you've had an awesome time! Can't wait for seeing the vids of your next big adventure!
I've been following you lovely people for a few years now and it was so exciting to see you traveling through my neck of the woods! I'm BC born and raised, and living there still. My husband is now retired from the RCMP and we are living part time in our TT with our 13 year old son (last of 5), 2 dogs, 2 cats and a bearded dragon. You drove right past our trapline in this video's time span, on the Cassiar Highway, then through several towns we have lived in over the 25 years of my husband's years as a Mountie. Smithers was our favourite. (Just a note- You have the town of Burns Lake listed as Prince George in the video.) We lived 3 years in Lytton and NEVER went on the tram at Hell's Gate ($$). I love that you took in a tiny part of Vancouver Island and encourage you to sail on up! I grew up in Campbell River and know the Island so well. There are so many wonderful places to see on the Island alone, let alone the rest of BC! Tofino and Ucluelet, Telegraph Cove, Quadra and Cortes Islands (perfect for the boat!)
Another note to fellow RVers...From June 1st to the end of September, BC Ferries has a reduced rate on longer lengths like RVs. It's way cheaper to take one of the routes listed on their website. We take our TT over and back using these sailings and save so much. Anyways, loved the video, love the new adventure on the high seas and am looking forward to watching it all unfold. -Sue
Totally enjoyed the coverage on par with you. You have provided the content with all the enthusiasm at your command
B.C. is definitely worth the trip. So much to see, especially the yummy pie.
Smithers has awesome steelhead fishing, I like the store surplus herbys in prince George,and the food trucks in Vancouver are awesome, and yes Vancouver Island you need a couple of months to tour it, its Beautiful B.C STANDS FOR BRING CASH!
Great series! Looking forward to your summer adventures this year. Should be extra exciting!
You two are a lot of fun. Thanks, Canada
Thanks very much for sharing your adventure with us. I'm a little sad myself that it's over. It was a great trip and I really enjoyed it.
Thanks again
LOVE the shot of the cats watching the bear!!
Welcome Back! Lol. Thanks for all the great videos.
thanks for the entire alaska series. i'm glad you were able to see some of the nicest parts of canada on your trip.
Sweet video! We loved all the Alaska videos (and all your videos) but this one was really good. We are from Vancouver Island and just moved to China last month. So it was really cool to see the old home through new eyes. Thanks!
lol, I live in Pince George, thanks for dropping by.
All the Alaska trip videos were outstanding.
There should be some sort of travel video award for you two.
Enjoyed the adventure! My fav scene was watching your cats look at the bear in this video. I can't believe you guys are ditching the RV for a Sailboat...should be exciting if thats what your really going to do.
What do they do for a living?
We visited Victoria and flew to Seattle on Kenmore Air floatplanes for a day trip. A tour of the Boeing plant was fantastic.
Always nice to see your forebears come out of the woods!
I love the shot of the cats looking at the bear!
Yes, looks like they sensed the danger.
I love how your motorhome squeaks!
I've been on the route you guys took! Spent some time In Hyder/Steward and Smithers last year and you videos inspire me to go again. Love your videos guys.. thank you!
From a Canadian (me) I enjoyed your travelogue with great pictures of the scenery. And you two have a heakthy travel attitude.
Having travelled to many of the remote parts of the world, I now live in IndoChina, I recommend you take out ALL your goodies such as air pumps, instant inflators and electronics and familiarise yourselves with their operation AND make sure they work OK
Wow, that was an adventure! Thanks for sharing.
Glad to see you guys came to Victoria. Shame you did not stay longer or went to pacific rim park.
Canada is pricy but we are high quality pricy.
Maybe you can visit with that catamaran after you see the South Pacific. The salt spring islands and desolation sound are magical. And then there is Alaska by water. Enchanting.
I like the way you guys did this - your video is excellent, professionally composed and you both seem very cool - your wife is nice and comes across like normal people - it was fascinating please do more
That was fun. I liked the cats watching the bear...as if.
Agricultural controls are designed to stop pests, molds, pathogens from crossing borders and contaminating a nations crops. It is necessary and expected... when you cross borders.
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.
You guys are amazing!
Enjoyed going with you through Alaska and Canada! Great videos!
lots of good info. I loved Abbotsford, too. Nice town.
looks like you had a great time in my backyard! Chilliwack BC here 😊
Thank you for sharing, you. Guys are ment for each other
Awesome trip guys thanks for sharing the trip with us.
We have just returned from Alaska,
Ketchikan and British Columbia on a cruise. Wish I had discovered your videos before. Love the video's keep up the great work and hope to see you guy's on the road one day. It's 102' degrees in Dallas today. Wish we were there.
By for now.
Just watched some of your vids ,what an absolutely beautiful country you have ,so big ,us,Canada,alaska,what a tour,you make a lovely couple ,thank you for sharing
Great series. Are you planning an "Alaska Bound 18: Overview" to discuss your overall experience, tips, etc?
Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Beautiful countryside views, amazingly breathtaking. Thanks for sharing. I'm a few years late :)
Better late than never! Thanks for joining the party.
great trip guys. really enjoyed riding along with you on your travel! please start another adventure soon !! will miss seeing you 😖
been a great summer adventure for you all and enjoyed watching your stories
Bears can move quick, stay away.
Cool that you found the old Alexandra Bridge. Also, I was born in Hope. :D
You guy make me smile
This series was amazing guys !
great trip guys. really enjoyed riding along with you on your travel! please start another adventure soon !! will miss seeing you :-(
Oh man, you guys missed so much! Still enjoyed seeing some of my old stomping grounds tho!
49th Parallel on 4th is my happy place... Nice !!!!
Watched all your sailing videos so had to watch some of your RV adventures. Was pleased to see you got to my island!! You guys need to sail here, Van Isle has some Amazing beaches!!! In particular Pachena Bay and Cape Scott and anything off Ucluelet and Tofino which i know you two will fall in love with! Also come up the Alberni inlet and check out my little town Port Alberni, so much hiking and outdoor rec here plus amazing summer weather and we have the most unique Moroccan restaurant on a tug boat called the Swept Away Inn, which is also a B&B.
That was a fantastic video! Great scenery and great tips!
Incredible and amazing i love to see this
I was thinking curiosity would get the best of those cats! Thank goodness they didn't jump out!
I thought about that too. They would be a nice snack for that bear.
Niki your face says it all...don't take my fresh vegetables! Lol
Hello guys, i'm from Indonesia and i really like this video, alaska is very beautiful ,perfect place to visit when holiday is coming 🙏😁 .greet from Indonesia 🙏
I'm watching this at 3;00am and drooling every time you guys stop for snacks.
Now I am hungry and not sleepy. It was a fun video. Vancouver has our favorite Chinese restaurant, with pulled noodles.
😆
Have crossed the border many times and the Blaine crossing back into USA is the worst. The first couple times you go you figure going into Canada will be tough and coming home is easy, Quickly find out it is the opposite.
Why opposite is it easy to go in Canada and coming in USA is hard? if so USA should change that attitude soon.
@@FaadumoArdo that changed after 911, most of us dont even bother to go south anymore not even across the line . sad but true
Sad to see you guys leave but glad you had a great time.
All the best with the next adventures. I can't wait to see what you get up to with your sailing trips and all that. I've always wanted to try sailing (land-locked in Calgary doesn't help!) so look forward to watching the episodes. Cheers.
Hey there Wynn's, Can't believe that you went to Hyder, a very good family friend lives there and was hoping you two would go in the bar in Steuart because if you play pool there's a table that's half in Canada half in USA to bad you missed it maybe next time !!! 😊 As always travel safe !!! Love you both ! 😊
Thanks for this video. It answered a whole bunch of questions about crossing borders. Haven't done that. I'm arming myself to let my hubby know that traveling isn't such a hard thing. I'm trying hard to talk him into an RV.
your doing what i well be doing in a bout a yr. took notes and well have some idea were to camp when i do get there thanks for your trip i well be in a a liner and doing boondocking only
Another great video, Thanks !
I love you guys ! I am trying to convince my boyfriend that this is the life for us! It is so amazing! Thank you for the videos!
Bewildered trip
I remember when Boise Idaho rolled up the sidewalks in the 70’s. Now it’s 24 hours. My family crossed the border 1960. Coming from Idaho to Alaska. We came back to Idaho. Job wasn’t what my dad wanted. He was an engineer for the State Highway Dept.
Another great video, bravo !
Hell's Gate is a must do in my opinion $ well spent. First time passed on it for same reasons you mentioned, but stopped 2 times since and really enjoyed ourselves. History there is incredible. Salmon Locks, dragging boats up river by hand and more.
Thank you so much for your so beautiful n fascinating video.
What a great bound journey! Greetings from Medan City North Sumatra, INDONESIA. Welcome to Hells gate💛🙂🙏:-) Thanks a lot for your Video 🙂🙏 Alaska ohhh ALASKA:-)🙏🙂💛
Great video! Alaska will be a must do on our list...very very beautiful. Love all you videos in general and especially Alaska. The paddle boarding through the icebergs looked amazing. I'm not a huge drinker, not implying you guys are lol...but that chipped ice idea was perfect!
Your car is so tiny it made a 6 pack of craft beer look huge! I don't now how you managed to get 2 six packs and the 1lb of coffee into the car! :-) Awesome video, awesome people!
I think that includes the buffet. I live only 20 miles from there and it's awesome. And Hope, my home for 16 years. The Blue Moose, yep great coffee.
Thank you for sharing!
As an American who's traveled extensively in Latin America, as far as crossing into Canada is for Americans, welcome to international travel and not being able to bring certain foods/plants into the new country.
For that matter, I've read that within the lower 48, there are inspection points at the CA border, when coming from out of state, to protect against potential issues with fruits.
I keep falling more n more in love with Alaska. When the time comes my wife and I would like to follow in your footsteps. Just amazing..........
Bummer about the food "getting tossed" thing. The boarder ppl probably keep it for themselves lol...but at the very least they should donate the goods seized to a local food pantry or the likes. At least that way my mindset would be in less of a bummer mode.
It goes straight to garbage, as it can't enter the US. The Canadian border folks could not care less. Don't underestimate the stupidity of civil servants.
ChiTownRaider75 that is exactly what they do
You are right, in the spring and early summer the river is "threatening." Every time I was around it, I expected to see some kind of body floating down. My son and I camped very close to the old bridge you were on. That bridge is used in a lot of movie shoots.
Amazing vídeo and amazing place...Hugs from Newark , NJ.
I was waiting to see if you'd make a quick stop west of Hope. Just off the highway is a SPECTACULAR waterfall, Bridal Veil Falls. Come on back and have a look some time!
Cricket? new one on me? Nikki, Prefer Pants! And again for the crossing Pants!. Appreciate Jasons view, look around and Nikki has gone! look forward to the adventures next year. Cheers and stay safe.
