✔️About this Episode:
Ever since we announced Season 5 in Alaska, we’ve been hearing horror stories about Alaska. In a way, we’re grateful because it helped us take it seriously and make the proper upgrades to our Ford F250 and Grand Design Reflection. It also set our expectations high…allowing us to think it was much easier than we thought.
There was only one section of the 1,400 mile journey that was “bad” with two gravel stretches under construction and dozens of frost heaves (unpredictable and unlevel sections of the road). Even these sections we did not find difficult, but it’s important to mention that we traveled this section in late June and perhaps the roads were improved since they thawed in the spring. Also, if a rig was overweight or driving too fast, the frost heaves could easily cause axle or leaf spring issues. For this reason, we’re glad that we added air to our truck and MORryde suspension to the trailer. It’s also important to mention that we had zero desire to drive routes such as the Top of the World Highway or visit Chicken, AK that would have added extra miles and gravel roads. We consider these to be “check-list destinations”. We came to AK for wildlife and adventure. Everyone has their own reasons, but it’s important to know why you’re going before you leave or you could be disappointed. It’s a big place and trying to do it all can be overwhelming.

There are some trends showing up in the comments already so we thought we'd pin a comment :)
We created a new category on our Amazon page called "RVing Alaska" with some of the things we bought specifically for AK, including the foam bubble material for our windows www.amazon.com/shop/keepyourdaydream
Also, we were able to get the produce through, but this was not a normal border crossing :) The people ahead of us didn't get their apples through! Lastly, we have no idea why Caleb didn't have shoes on... we didn't realize we created a cliffhanger lol. I wish we were that cleaver.
Anyway, this was a fun episode to edit and share. We really like sharing the journey and family dynamics. There are some pretty epic episodes coming soon. AK has delivered big time. See you next Sunday!
Keep Your Daydream My wife is excited to see you guys Tuesday! Cant wait for our trip!
Keep Your Daydream So where are you now????
Lol was going to ask!!
Perhaps Trish would post/link the clothes she wears. 😁😃 She has STYLE. Her necklace. Her black jacket with the baby blue lining. Her Eskimo boots with the red soles.
I can’t be the only girl who thinks of these things!!
Your son cracks me up. That child is going to change the world and definitely make it a happier place.
Do you ever find yourself smiling at these videos? I do. I don't even mean to. But these are folks having just too good a time. You can't help but smile along.
All the time :)
UA-cam is such an interesting thing.. I can follow people on trips, I learn about new things & I plan my future trips based on theirs. I can find humor along with them, I seriously laugh out loud at least once a video & that is not accounting for the numerous smiles. These people that I have never met can feel like family. I look forward to my weekly update. I look forward to hearing updates about their kids. And I find them ridiculously entertaining. This is awesome! ☺🍷
I agree. That's the same way we felt prior to starting our channel. There were people we watched and then we got to the end of the videos and found out their last one was a year ago 😱We said, "You can't stop!" which is what everyone said on that last video.
I think what makes the difference is that we can feel your investment. It feels like you guys are having a good time. You are recording your good times, making it informative & while you may make a bit off of it, it never feels like you are doing it for the money. I can watch a video & it feels like you are wanting to share. That makes all the difference. It feels like more than just a job. It feels like a community. I forget that I don't really know you, lol. You guys know how to do this & you do it so well. ❤ Thank you.
Yes, agree Heather Colton--there is a lovely heart-centered mix of intentionality and informality in the KYD vidoes. We need such qualities in the world.
Heather Colton IKR?! This one is a trip on my bucket list!
You guys are THE feel good King and Queen....the natural rapport brings a smile to my face every time....the downside is that I have a tendency to gauge all other RV presentations against your videos and they pale.....I don't mean to be obnoxious but facts are facts.........
My husband and I just love watching you every Sunday. We have started binge watching your past episodes. You both are so funny and I prefer watching your channel to regular TV any day. I can't wait to see what is next. Thanks for answering the question about the border crossing. Have fun and stay safe.
I am watching all of your seasons, for the second time. Our married daughter (with 10 adopted children) is also a fan. Yes we all RV together. Your places are our dream places. --Doc Bowman.
Love it! Thanks Doc.
I agree, the videos are not long enough. I could watch an hour long video. You make my Sunday nights!
Favorite part of the video "Who don't you have shoes on . . . that's a great question". Great job on ending it there. Almost like the joke you never hear the ending of and it keeps you hanging.
RE: Long Days. I spent the summer Solstice (June 21,1982) as my first day on a Project in Prudhoe Bay Alaska at the ARCO camp. All windows were taped. There was no night at all. It was like noon sun 24/7. In November it was night 24/7 and you did not see daylight until your rotation flight out when the Alaskan Airlines flight got to about 30,000 ft. Alaska is an interesting place. In Anchorage, they have Moose walking through the office Parks and Sigalerts when they go on a rampage in rush hour traffic. The Oil companies had me commute from Southern California to Alaska for 3 weeks and then home 1 week then back. Did this for 14 months. Loved the Area. Great for photography.
Enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

Ken, yes traffic stops for all wildlife on these Alaskan roadways. You should see when a family (goose and goslings) are meandering across the road holding up traffic. It's interesting how the evening light interferes with the sleep of newcomers. I was under the impression that it only interferes with sleep for a couple of then days and then you adjust. I have neve r covered windows other than curtains and I sleep with the blinds slightly up open because I like seeing what time it is when I awake.
THAT is a gorgeous sign for the signpost forest and I love your "Bob" strategy... whatever works!!! Thanks for sharing your fun journey and all the beauty of the North.
I "LOVEY" Thurston Howell lll! Of course I'm only 35 but I used to watch A LOT of those old reruns with my grandmothers and those were some of my best memories growing up!! love those old shows. It's kind of funny because I own a few of the old shows and my boys who are only 5 and 6 actually like to watch them with me! I 'LOVEY' it!!
The military moved us from Fairbanks to Georgia. Watching your vids really is a trip down memory lane. Thanks.. enjoy Fairbanks and again visit Chena Hot Springs.
My wife and I ordered our first travel trailer back in January. I went to You Tube to find out if my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk could really pull what we just bought. I found your Fantastic video which helped us so much we watched the next and the next and now like other folks we watch every Sunday night. My wife laughs at me when I am at church, state park or just out with friends and someone asked something about camping or our new trailer and I say” well Marc and Trisha showed us...” then she can not leave that go and has to explain you guys have never met us, we are not life long friends, these are people on a You Tube channel. I say it so often like you are friends and we know your family. We are thankful for the beautiful sites we hope to also see. We are thankful for your genuine videos of the great times and the bad times. I appreciate you hard work behind the scenes to make these videos better and better. We love camping.
Great job! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. It is always enjoyable catching up with y'all weekly. We watched y'all before we purchased our TT last March. It has been the best decision for our family. I think your family inspires more people than you will ever realize. Thank you!
My wife and I are really enjoying your channel. This brought back some great memories for me. My family and I drove that road January 2015 when we moved to Alaska. Thanks for sharing your good and not so good experiences. Your channel is a great resource and very enjoyable to watch your adventures.
I don’t want to be the first nerd to say I love the music you selected for the road trip pics. This is such a great adventure! I can’t wait to see more!!! The pictures are all fantastic. The wife and I MUST go now.
You are not a nerd. I Loved the music and pictures too!! I was thinking I would love to go and take our 75 year old cancer survivors, mom and mother-in-law along once we get a RV that can make a trip like that!
Caleb cracks me up! What a character he can be!! 😂
I love the entire video but that song - The Slowdown playing while your driving was PERFECT! Love the whole lot of you!
Hey, just a thought, stop just in front of the border crossing and stand at the side of the road where people are coming into the country you are leaving. Have a sign that says free food. There are always folks who are doing what you are doing but with far less resources . Plus, giving without gain, never gets old.
Light Ning Absolutely a great idea and so true! I watch a channel with a lady traveling alone without much money and I know she could use something like that. I wish I could help her.
Border agents won't like that. How do you think they feed their families with fresh produce everyday plus free delievery! Hell, even the bananas are still green!
@@kennyw871 That is funny.😃And probably true.
Benjamin Franklin was the founding father who wanted the turkey. Crazy! Thanks again for bringing us along for the ride. Safe travels 😊🇺🇸
Amazing. I'm so glad it's the eagle instead. Now being in AK... it's really an amazing bird. They are so big, the adolescent eagles actually look like turkey's as they sit in the trees (without the white head). When they land, it's like a crash! We were fishing last week with 50 eagles above us... that video will be fun to share!
I was just checking to see if that was posted yet....👍
Keep Your Daydream
We were in Alaska several years ago. We were on a shore excursion and the captain of the boat we were on said the way some eagles die is they catch too big a fish in their talons and they drown. It was a surprise to us.
Another awesome video love watching them you guys are so much fun to watch only one complaint I wish they were longer it’s a long time between Sundays.I’m surprised one of the networks have not offered you guys a show. You’re informative, funny, entertaining, and Trish is very pretty this would make a great show for GAC it would be much better than going RV.❤️
good idea
Mark, love the transition at the 7:00 point. From the excitement of Carson calling, the very cool map graphic (definitely noticed it) and then the reflective music while you drive by Michael Shynes was excellent. I rewound just to hear the song a second time.
Just keeps getting better...and better...and better. That opening track, though! "Toasting All My Life"....man, oh, man...loved this, love your life. Love that you are *sharing* your lives with us. :-)
"Border Concierge!" I love it. Great adventure, and I love the what time is it game. When you're not from that part of the country, light out at 11 pm is a huge deal.
I love how genuine you guys are! Thanks for letting all of us tag along!
Jim, my husband used your Bob trick last week on our trip up to Boerne, Texas. My husband started talking about Bob up front and I had to think about it for a second before I caught on to what he was referring to. We traded in our Open Range 2015 for a Grand Design Reflection 337 RLS 2018 and I requested blackout blinds be added in the bedroom just because of you guys! Thanks for the bargaining tip. :) Can't wait to pick her up and hit the road. Branson trip in the planning with two other couples caravanning.
I dont know..maybe heat delirium (Houston)... but this might be the best video you've done all year! Such a weekly treat...thanks!!
It was one of our favs. Thanks!
OK, you guys are getting better every episode. Trish, love the history lesson you give us, great insight. Marc, great editing and music as well as great drone shots. This is what sets you guys apart from the others......:)
Thanks Eric. This was one of our favs.
The views!!! Oh the views!!!! And your pick of background music continues to be awesome! Glad you guys found Reflectix because, otherwise, Trish would never let up on that time game!! LOL!! You are too cute! Been watching your videos since #1 and I urge you to go back and view the video you did on "newbie mistakes". You will fall over laughing. You've come a LOOOOOONG way baby!! lol. So happy you made it to Alaska. One more off that bucket list!! Enjoy!! Esty
😂😂😂😂😂Love this game .
You guys make me laugh every time I watch this video.
We get our Rig in about a month.
We can,t wait, Its like waiting for Christmas morning, 🎅🤶 lol
Thank you so much for all of these great video,s
The Lerch,s (Nancy and David)
Love the steel decal...nice! Being stainless that decal may be there in the dirt after all the posts and signs have rotted!
When we were in MT I looked so forward to seeing the night sky... I just could never stay up late enough. Played the “what time is it” game ALL the time.
Glad you had an easy transit. I think the amount of serious prep work you guys did on the truck and GG paid off in a big way. You made some really good calls two months ago that saved you lots of grief later.👍
Breathtaking beautiful. Thank you for sharing. We can't wait for Sunday's.
"Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?" I thought of Chicago when I watched your video this week and laughed about Trish's "favorite game." Thanks for sharing your travels with us. (Tom and Anita)
"BOB" sooo true. This was a really awesome episode!
GREAT episode! Love the drone footage! It's sooooo dangerous for us to watch your stories as it makes us very impatient for that magical day when we'll join you and the other Daydreamers full timing in an RV! Keep up the great work, stay safe, and thanks for what you do!
As long as Trish is playing the what time is it game. They I love it :)
Oh! I was Laughing so hard with you guys!! I could tell you all get giddy with lack of sleep! And I was just in awe with your aerials. So Beautiful up there! maybe at some point we will take our rig up there but not soon enough. I'm so happy your all able to be experiencing it for yourselves.
Well your not missing much back here at home in Phoenix. 117 Degrees today! (Yea.) with a stray cloud here and there. And just like normal.. Thunder heads surrounding the valley deciding if it's cool enough to come pounce rain on our streets. Guess what time it is! hahaha.
Hope the Anchorage meet up is a success. Less Junk more Journey needs your window treatment for some darkness...ha 🌞🌞 Trip looks like so much fun. Glad roads not as bad as feared. looks like they were doing some road paving too..
Ok... I just HAD to pause after you talked about getting the sign gift. HOW TOTALLY AMAZING is that????? LOVED it! And perfect. And LMBO at Marc.
Ok... Continuing.... Lol
I know, right! Amazing. We couldn't be happier.
Keep Your Daydream absolutely!!!
Oh, was that a Casita in the Walmart parking/RV lot?? Right behind you in the video, before your timestamp clip....
Ok. Finished...and, if I weren't laying in bed watching, I'd be in the floor... because I was SO ROTFLMBO at y'all!!!! So hilarious!!! And lots of "happy" going on..huh? Lol
Loved the music during the first road video footage!! Great song. And of course, the videography was subperb! As always.
Caleb... LOL..get your shoes on boy!
So glad you got to hear from Tori and Carson. Hope they're both enjoying their journies and new life experiences.
So, y'all know..(but in case you didn't). You, LJMJ, Always On Liberty, and Drivin and Vibin are my top favorite vloggers. I'm always making sure I catch up on your IG, and UA-cam.
One of these days, God willing, I'm gonna get on the road too. Hoping to do it before I can't.
That being said, I just want you to know, y'all, along with the ones I mentioned, keep me inspired to do just that.
Thank you for keeping it real and so much fun!!! AND informative!!
Love you guys!!
Safe travels! God speed. ❤️
Spending my birthday in my jimjams watching KYD Alaska trip! Best birthday ever!! ❤️ you !
Made it to Alaska?! Was there ever any doubt? When you guys set your mind to it, you make it happen! Love the journey and love the vids! Great job KYD!!
You're too kind! Thanks.
Wonderful video Mark and Trisha and great information I can’t believe you guys have driven that many miles all ready looking forward to the next video and Trisha what time is it have fun.
I love the "what time is it" game!
Just started my subscription to your channel.... And WOW!! Been watching for 6 solid hrs with my wife! I salute you and your family for your dedication to the "KYD" Love your fun and very interesting yet informative videos you share!! Y'all stay safe and may y'all be blessed!!! Looking forward to seeing next Sundays clip on the great Alaska journey!!!
Welcome & wow! Sorry if we end up changing a flat tire with your 2nd-grade teacher in your dream tonight. That's a lot of KYD for the brain!
The Reflectix foil insulation works great in the windows. It cuts down probably 95% of the heat from the sun which helps the A/C keep up on those hot days.
We are so jealous of your traveling. The wife and I wish we could do that. Maybe someday.... I wish we had jobs that could earn money from the road (RV).
Safe travels my friends. I look forward to your next video.
OMG!!!! Caleb has me dying over here!!!
"Why don't you have any shoes on?"
"That's a good question!"
Thank you for the laughs and I hope to take a picture with your sign one of these days. It may not be that soon, but hopefully soon enough!
I yelled the second I heard he was from my hometown. Danville,
IL. That is awesome.
• On last week's episode I often wondered what time it was while you were there, expecting that the sun was out longer & longer. And, again in the beginning of today's episode I was wondering, "Hmm, I wonder what time it is?!?!" Thanks Trish, I loved it, and I hope you keep asking throughout your entire visit in Alaska!
• We like following Bob also. We hope to always be behind Bob, and sometimes 2 or 3 Bob's is better! Bob is very helpful!
We use the silver bubble wrap for our windows and put some heavy duty velcro on the frame of the window to hold them on. We even covered the skylights and it is so helpful. In our 3 boys bunks they just leave them on all the time. It saves them time taking them off and putting them on. We are able to travel 30 days each summer. Some day hope to do full time.
Your videos are so good,they seem like they are only 5-10 mins long. I think I'm going to have to go back & watch the Mexico trip! Then I can have a new video on Sunday & a rerun on Wednesday!!! 🤗
Auntievette17 thanks for that idea! I feel the same way! I so look forward to KYD videos that it seems they're more than a week apart, lol. I feel like a kid.
It's sooo beautiful. You did it to me again, lol. I'm enjoying the vid soo much and then it just ends..... Way to go. What a trip.
Congress chose the American Bald Eagle to be our national bird in 1784. Benjamin Franklin thought that the wild turkey would be a better symbol because it was a much more respectable bird.
Thanks!
I think the bald eagle is much more respectful!! And BEAUTIFUL!!
Benjamin Franklin wanted it to be the wild turkey...not sure who it was that said no lets have it be what we have now. I'm with you though sure glad it's the Bald Eagle. Beautiful scenery. if I ever make it there to Watson Lake I'll have to hope it's in the near future so I can find this video again a listen to the riddle. I love riddles. Awesome video and Caleb you are a super cool kid and you always make me laugh or smile. You rock, dude!
I love the "what this is it" game! Fun Trish! 😆
I'm so in awe of your drone shots while the rig is driving!!!
I just found ya’ll a couple of months ago and have been watching trying to catch up. I have to say I love Caleb. His facial expressions and comments are the great, but the best is when he is making faces and stuff while you are talking in the truck. He cracks me up, Keep up the great work Caleb!!!
I drove from Fairbanks to El Paso Tx in 1975. There were only 12 poles of the sign forest when I stopped there and posted my home town on a board (Eagle Pass Tx). From your video it has really grown. Maybe one day I'll go thru there again.
Gee, KYD, what do I say? Another super video with fantastic scenes (nature and people), great interaction and helpful information. Oh, Trish, when you play your "What time is it?" game, I keep thinking of the early-TV show "Howdy Doody Show." Buffalo Bob (host) would open the show with that line and the response from the in-studio kids would be, "It's Howdy Doody time!" Ok, I know that dates me, but, good memories, just the same. Trisha's version is just as entertaining. The Reflectix solution is super; so many applications around the house, too! Love Sunday for your show. Be safe!
I was born in Fairbanks AK, and grew up in Tok and I now live in Yuma, Your video makes me want to take my family and drive the Alaskan Hwy I have done it a few times, but my family has not. Thank you for the great video!!
Y’all have done outstanding job on marketing yourselves I have enjoyed you guys from the start. Hope we can do half as well as you have. Thanks for the memories.
One of y’all’s funniest episodes ever! Don’t get me wrong here.. we love them all but, we really laughed at this one!
And I’m sorry Mark, I’m with Trish on this one... I’d be playing “Guess what time it is!” too!! 😂
Safe travels y’all!
- Jake & Kat from Sourh Texas!
In a few days, we will be at Watson Lake trying to find your sign and putting up our own Love you guys thanks for all weekend joined listening to watching your videos. Keep up the good work. we will let you know when we find your sign.
One of the first things we bought for our RV was reflectix. We always have it in the windows, since 2004. Glad you are enjoying the trip.
Thank you, first of all, by showing all of us up with your beautiful sign!!!!! :,D But more so, for the advice about needing a ladder or other means of tall-sign-placing-ability.
HAPPY HOUR!!! "Get all 'woo-hoo'!" There is no waiting for dark around Alaska. We drink...
As for 'what time is it,' we find a major change in winter when we just want to sleep and sleep and sleep.... and drink....
Interestingly, when we were kids growing up in Glennallen, our folks would put solid foam boards up in the windows to keep the cold out. You can imagine the intensity of the very opposite of what we get in the summer. NO SUNLIGHT. When I did sports in High School, I would catch the bus at 7:35am, in the dark, then be inside the school through ball practice until 7:30pm. With dark setting in at 4:30, I would not see daylight for a solid 3 months each winter.
It is seriously weird to travel someplace in summer and have it pitch black at 7pm.
I think the Richardson might be worse than the Alcan. Let me know.
My favorite Sunday channel 😊
I love the beauty in the great northwest. Alaska!! The roads didn't look too unmanageable. Looking forward to the meetup with LJMJ Nate & Marissa. I love LJMJ and KYD
BRAVO for another wonderful, informative - albeit "unverified" - episode!! FYI: It was Benjamin Franklin who lobbied for the turkey to be our national bird [can you imagine eating roast eagle for Thanksgiving dinner???]; and the agency that built the Alaska Highway is the U.S. Army CORPS of Engineers. They have also constructed lock & dam waterways on the Tennessee, Tombigbee, Black Warrior and Mississippi Rivers. Fascinating feats of engineering and construction!!
Do they still have the fuel stop in Tok where a fill up gets you a free car wash??
That sign is so cool... I'm glad you have a second one to put in the rig. BTW the video quality is awesome. Colors and clarity are awesome. OMG!!! I love the were are your shoes, That is a great question bit. Teenagers!!! LOL Thank you for the wonderful video. Like always you make my Sundays a joy. Have fun in Alaska. Happy and Safe Travels!!
We just took a road trip of our own in our new Mallard travel trailer so I am running a few episodes behind. You continue to blow me away with the quality of your videos. You make me want to drop what I'm doing and go on another road trip! Thanks again for the amazing videos.
You were standing under a blue sign for Goderich, CN. If you ever get to southern Ontario it's a must see! I think it was voted, "Canada's prettiest town." Also, trivia, it was Ben Franklin that was pushing for the turkey, for it's cunning and intelligence. And it's delicious.
another one of my favorite youtubers going on the Alaskan Highway. I will be doing this next year for sure
Liked the “Bob” technique. Very useful in many driving situations. Another great story on video, as usual.
My wife and boys along with me enjoy your videos. My wife is from Delta Junction and wanted to make a correction. At the end of the Alaskan highway you get on the Richardson hiway. It runs from Valdez to Fairbanks and the Parks highway runs from Fairbanks thru Denali to Anchorage.
I also wanted to let you know your section on the blackout shades, I loved your comment on how you foiled the sun. I laughed so hard and my wife rolled her eyes, which just added to the laughter.
Enjoy your trip. P.s. they have a ton of full hookup sites (nice) a little father off the main roads dirt cheap and pretty empty with water and dump stations. We road tripped all of Alaska and Canada for our honeymoon.
When the first Highway built, the native guide they had hired made sure it would passed his trap lines and fishing spots. A lot of it was straightened out after the war.
SHOUTOUT!! for the music selection on this episode! Nailed it! Glad to know the "Boarder Concierge" was on duty that day! Sure was a lot of yummy veggies to declare! 🥗👍🏼
Love the use of reflectix as blackout curtains. I've toyed with several ideas how we'd deal with 24 hr sun when we make our northern road trip. We keep a roll in the truck to insulate frozen items when we're shopping.
Great video! We are looking forward to heading to Alaska. For now, just catching up on some seasons of KYD that we missed! Great video!
Thank you guys, I am hooked and got to have you guys every week keep it going
Benjamin Franklin wanted the Turkey as America's bird but was out voted. Make sure you go panning for gold while you are there so I can live vicariously through your videos.
Mixed feelings about that. That might fall into the museum's category... but we'll see! :)
Independence Mine out of Wasilla, and I think they have a little tank for gold panning in Indian, on the way to Girdwood.
A little south of Anchorage near Girdwood is a place call the Crow Creek Mine where you can rent a pan and try your hand in the creek. When we went there many years ago you could buy a small baggie of dirt/sand/gravel that was "salted" with a few flecks of real gold so you can pan it yourself. Don't remember the cost.
It's an aquired taste like hunting for mushrooms, collecting seashells, etc etc...i looked it up panning at crow creek mine is twenty bucks and they charge ten bucks per day parking
HELLO! I live in Grande Prairie AB, and discovered you guys 2 months ago. Have been binge watching every one of your videos and got caught up tonight. What an awesome adventure you are having. I am hooked!! Love the videos and keep them coming.
Welcome! Sorry you're caught-up. Waiting stinks! Just finished tomorrows video. Rendering now.
I know I'm just about 3 years late to this episode's party; however, as a fellow Thurston Howell enthusiast, I had to tip my cap to Marc's impersonation. "No one can pull the wool over my eyes. Cashmere, maybe. But wool? Never." -THIII
Fantastic episode! Informative, educational, and funny! Thanks for sharing your journey.
Bittersweet moment, I have been binge watching you guys since I found your channel about a month ago from Day 1to Alaska. I finally caught up and now i have to wait for the next episode!
Anyway love your channel, very inspiring can't wait to see what's coming next week!
Thank you so much for the journey, my husband and I can not wait until we start ours. We look forward to your inspirational videos.
Great video. Love your Bob idea. Also love the light cover idea too. Take care safe travels.
Tina Richards I've always done the bob! Blows the kids minds, they think I'm psychic 😁
The Bob idea while funny is really practical. Especially like the speed Bob was traveling comment (smile).
I've been subbed for a bit. Never posted but..... You folks are addicting. Very up lifting.
By the way.. Ben Franklin wanted the turkey as the National bird.
It's pretty cool for others to be able to see the world thru your adventures. We will be doing this once our grandson is a little older. Alaska has always been on the bucket list. Looks like I would be able to do some Paramotoring off a few of the locations you visited... that would be really cool.
Thanks guys. Very informative. My bucket list is to take my wife to Alaska this way. I was there in the late 70's with the Air Force and just fell in love with it.
I just Subscribed. We presently live in Beli,e and this 15 year adventure is coming to an end. Next is doing what WE want to now. You just cranked me up. I will look for you plaque.
By the way? Our Branding Iron is KD over a __ (bar) .
Thanks again.
I’m digging the map overlays and I’m glad Trish got a reusable grocery bag.
Incredible footage. Really makes me want to go! Let's hear an update on the hensley hitch through the rough roads. I have an equal-i-zer and it groans and creaks reminding us it's back there... If I go over a dip, you can certainly feel it back there pushing on the truck.
You guys make my Sunday night! Only problem I have, the videos are not long enough...✌🏼
👍
OK! Whole Smokes!! We live about 30 minutes from Danville, IL. That is so cool! I love the riddle. I hope to find this sign someday. We just started our journey.
Dad Gum it...shoot fire & save the matches!!! You just killed MY DAY DREAM when you showed us how much in gas you've used thus far...WHOA NELLIE I better pinch pennies a lil more ( or hitch a ride LOL) Seriously though thanx for the info! THURSTON was HILARIOUS & so was Trish's senorita!
Great video guys ! Thanks for taking us along.
We lived in Alaska when I was very young and I’ve spent my life wanting to return. I now live in my 5th wheel full time and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon. One day I will make the trek (I RV alone - so) your program has re-ignited that dream, thank you. I use that aluminum to keep my rig cool in the summers too, works great! (My mom put aluminum foil on the windows in the summer.) You should get a Ram! =)
Trish’s question “Guess what time it is?” Made me flash back to the 90s:
Heidi: “Does anyone know what time it is?”
Audience: “It’s tool time!”
Lol.
That's Right. Binford Tools is proud to present Tim Taylor!!!
Funny I've been wanting to tell you guys that you better hurry up because Nate & Marrisa are way ahead of you and then I see your posting of the meetup. Destruction Bay was beautiful.
