We recently found your channel and are really enjoying it!!! We especially like these type videos where you show us beautiful places you've been. We are retired and have a camper van. We take, at least, one long trip every year out west and camp in the southeast, fairly local, the rest of the time. We would totally visit some of the places you've been so it is awesome to see them first! We live in AL.
We cannot wait to film in Alaska and we think we've gotten better at capturing these adventures than we were when we did this video as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch our videos!! -J
Waaaa😥😥 I just looked. Unless the Lord does A LOT (which I will NEVER DISCOUNT) on my older and differently abled body I won't be able to do this hike. But the hot springs looked lovely! Thank you for sharing. (I know, it was a while ago). We found you via the other couple in the video.
Yay! You found the video we did with half of WIld RV Life before they hit the big time! 😁 I would classify this hike as moderate to difficult for sure. Especially if you are there when it's remotely hot. -J
We have not. We were actually with them oustide of Vegas when theirs was really beginning to have some major issues (before they started back up on UA-cam) and it honestly made me appreciate this rig. It's nearly 20 years old and - it's never had suspension issues (we're gonna test that in Alaska 😂) - I had one slide out gear break but I was able to fix it myself (and may I tell you that gear is HEAVY duty! I'd hate to put a newer slide system on it just because the original is so hardy) Any issues with this RV have been due only to age (the roof), and lack of care by it's current owners. Actually - it does have a crack in the fiberglass by the front slideout that I'm still trying to figure out a permenant fix for. I repaired it and it cracked again instantly. I'm pretty sure there is a weak spot there. It seems to be a common issue. -J
@@shawnbeerens4292 haha...I do not... not because I'm an expert but because I've seen some rather cheap looking Jaycos. If I were to make a broad brush statement (which of course are always full of exceptions) I would say older is better than newer. I think in the early 2000's RVs were built stronger than they are today. I believe some companies are trying to change that but when I look at the overall "bones" of this rig, it's built a lot "heftier" than a lot of modern RVs that seem to try to get away with the lightest axles, frames, etc. All that said...I wouldn't at all be shocked if we break down at some point in Alaska - but if we do - it's all part of the journey! -J
I saw on facebook that you were recently enjoying a trip out in these beautiful western states. I think we missed each other in Sedona by about 1 week! -J \
@@OpenRoading Yes, Debbie Krikorian and I were in Arizona for 2 weeks. Loved Sedona. It was a majestic trip. Have fun out there and KEEP LIVING THE DREAM!
Such a fun hike with you guys!! We must find more hot springs in the future!
We tried finding some cool stuff with Craig while you were gone...all we found was a dam with no water. 😂
Hot springs and Mermaids 🧜♀️.
👍👍👍

Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing. Robbers’ Roost looks so cool!
Your welcome! And if you found the roost in this video I’m impressed 😂 -J
I love Wild RV Life, too! Hi Victoria!
This is our “proof we knew them before they were famous” video. 😁 -J
That is very cool that it was in the middle of the desert! Yay for no naked people...lol!
Very much yay for no naked people! It was one of the most unique hikes we've ever done.

What's your problem with naked people? Don't be prude..
AMAZING VIDEO, THANKS FOR SHARING
You’re welcome and thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Such a cool place!! Question, do you have as much trouble with your rv as Craig and Victoria had with there 2014?
We have not. We were actually with them oustide of Vegas when theirs was really beginning to have some major issues (before they started back up on UA-cam) and it honestly made me appreciate this rig. It's nearly 20 years old and
- it's never had suspension issues (we're gonna test that in Alaska 😂)

@@OpenRoading that's awesome that your rig has been so good to you! Do you think jaco is better built than Dutchman? Or did Craig just get a lemon?
