Thank you so much beautiful
No problem 😊
IT'S SMOKE!!
Yes,...........we even had it much further east in South Dakota!
Very nice done ✅ I enjoyed it 👍
Thanks for the visit Meta!
Back in the 80’s while in the Air Force I spent a month temporary duty at Great Falls, MT. I only saw a small part of Glacier National park because most of the park was still closed by snow. Thanks for letting me see part of what I missed seeing back than.
That is awesome Kevin. It really is something how late in the summer season they still have snow in this area.
It snows like crazy there!
I bet it is heaven for snowmobilers!
Please give big hugs to Pat and Paul for their kindness (from me) as they drove you around Glacier NP. After being there so many times before, how wonderful that they wanted to go once again to see it through your eyes. Dear friends indeed to be cherished!
What a surprise! My wife and I met Pat and Paul in Florida at the RV resort that we were staying in. Great people.
You know,.......sometimes you just click with people. They are awesome to have deep, meaningful campground discussions about such important things as cinnamon rolls.
Thanks for the tour... not sure we will get there ourselves but seeing this video is a pleasure.
Thanks for checking Glacier out Pattie.
Poor Sue she needs a hikin buddy that'll go all the way to the top....I'd be your hikin bud Sue! I really love your videos!
You hit the nail on the head! In a few more weeks you will see Sue going on an awesome horseback ride in the Hill City, South Dakota. She went with one of my friends that we were traveling with that can actually still bend enough to get on a horse. After my one ride in Arizona in 2019 almost getting my hip sockets displaced like a GI Joe doll, I said NEVER AGAIN!
such a great video. God's paint brush at work, thank you for the memories
What a great country we live in,........
About time! Glacier is our favorite US park, followed by Banff.... Crazy busy thru the years since the 70's for me...on motorcycles and my wife's 350Z Roadster...can't get enough of the park...
Banff is on our list,........
@@OurJourneyInMyles Make sure you camp for a few days on some of the primitive campgrounds on the way to Jasper on the Icefields Parkway as well, plenty of room, just no hookups, but so worth it...
Terrific video. Very well done and entertaining.
Thanks for the visit Doc, and the kind comment!
How beautiful Sue and Mark takes your breath ways. Sue when yall stopped to see that goose on that island. I thought
Mark had one by the neck when he got out of the jeep. I haven't yet quite figured out that type bird he might of had.
Enjoyed every min of the trip thanks for letting me tag alone.
Thanks Jeff,...........it's called the "iPhone 6s Plus UA-camrs Bird!
@@OurJourneyInMyles Sorry Mark looked like it had feather or something. What can I say I'm from Alabama . You know the one that Forest Gump was from. Mark isn't your motorhome a Newmar ? I do not know why thinking it was. So if yes did Newmar get over the Spartan Chassis alignment problem they were having ? If not then remember I'm from Alabama and forget I stated anything.
Man did your adventure bring back memories. You can drive the roads and see something new every time. You are right pictures and videos do not do it justice. Mark you did good on all that long hikes….travel safe look forward to the next new video…..
Thanks Kirk,.....I really was glad Paul was driving so Sue & I could just sit back and see the majesty!
This year we drove by Glacier Park on our way to take our daughter to college but could not stop. We have loved watching it through your eyes and are excited to plan a trip there in the future.
Thanks for stopping by and sending the kind comment!
another great vid on our bucket list safe travels guys
Awesome! Thank you Alan!
I'm sorry I missed you up here. Good video. I live here, but because of all the traffic can only visit now on the shoulder seasons. I'm glad you were able to enjoy it. Maybe I can catch you the next time you come up.
You live in a beautiful area!
We are going to try you guys again. I can't remember why we stopped subscribing, but we are back. Very good job on this video.
Thanks Don!
Very good video! Loved it! I was laughing at you and Mark saying how tall he was 6’0 and it down to 5’8. It went twice I think. Funny Mark. Lol! Laughed to about the MacDonalds Falls and McDonalds the restaurant. I laughed hard. And you forgot about old McDonald had a farm.lol! I love the view of Glacier National Park. You can see it fine even with the smoke. Beautiful. We have another fire that started. I forgot where they said. Hope you have a great week. Stay safe. Travel safe.
Glad you enjoyed it Sherri!
My 2 favorite Mark quotes this video are when you said "I'm enjoying myself I'm Retired and I'm an RVer!" and when you said you were 6'6", then 6', then 5'8" under that fireplace :o) Great video guys! I'm so glad I was able to see Glacier National Park through this video.
Thanks for being such a great video watcher!
Important Bear Safety Pro-tip: You just have to be faster than the slowest fellow hiker. Lol.
Great memories. Thanks for sharing.
You got that right! Sometimes I hang a pork chop on one of the fellow hikers backpacks for added security.
Great video, brought back lots of memories. One of my favorite sines is in Logan Pass Visitor Center parking lot . it simply states "It can snow any day of the year here, and it has"
I found your friends comment on "Miscue snowfall" to be interesting. I have talked to guys who worked on the snow removal crews and they talked about 80 foot snow depths with drifts over 100'.
Paul and Pat live in Fargo, ND. They have driven their motorcycles to Glacier many times over the years with friends that fly over from Australia. They said over and over again how every time they come there, they see less snow, and this time there was next to none! I think that shows how large the snow falls, and how frequent the snow falls must have been in years past,......
Beautiful! We’re currently at Grand Teton. We came here this time of year hoping to avoid the crowds but that didn’t happen! I suppose the new normal is our treasured NP’s will be crowded all the time. That’s a good thing because more people will realize how important it is to preserve these beautiful ecosystems.
I think you are right. With the tens of thousands of new, first time RVers,...things will be hopping for quite a while!
Wonderful video........thank you so much for sharing your journey. I bet Sue spent days editing this one.
Travel videos, with multiple days and stops take FOREVER to edit. I would guess that video took 45 HOURS. The RV Channels that are doing great being "talking heads" makes the job to show travel even more difficult. We have chosen to stay away from the talking head drama formula.
@@OurJourneyInMyles Those channels tend to run out of steam over time, produce a lot of "filler" or go the route of product endorsement. They may have a lot of subscribers but few actual viewers in comparison. Stay true to what works for you. Until Sunday.....
Absolutely love Glacier! You need to see Waterton International Peace Park😊
If the US/Canadian border would have been open during our stay in Glacier, we would have done that as well,....
We are going to Glacier National Park next summer. Thanks so much for sharing these informative videos. They’ll be helpful as we prepare for our visit.
Glad it was helpful Robert!
Dear sir, the cargo doors are very nicely tightly aligned behind your wife. Quality motorhome. Kind regards from the netherlands
Antoon, so nice of you to drop by again!
Was there in the early 90’s and blown away by the beauty. Back then it was called Going to the Sun Highway not Road 😁
Maybe they changed the name to reflect the slow travel speed required!
@@OurJourneyInMyles Even Paul’s GPS says “Hwy” at about 06:00 into the video. Intriguing… keep up the great work, enjoying your vlogs!!
@@JustMike2022 You have an eagle eye!
@@OurJourneyInMyles perhaps yes lol
Wow! That looks like the most buitiful place you have been!!
Never been there. We got close one time.
On a bucket list... but now its off to Hawaii !!
I actually liked Yellowstone, and all it has to offer the best so far!
@@OurJourneyInMyles yes that we saw. It was excellent! Thats as close as we got to glacier national park.
Another place i would like to visit again.
7am to 11am is the time
Lighting to see all the mountain contours is key,.......
Beautiful video. Finally, someone else who uses Dr. Squatch’s Pine Tar Soap. Do you also use Dr. Squatch’s feather luffa? You can get it in Dr. Squatch’s Tar and Feather gift set.
I just went to the Dr. Squatch's website and spent another $140! We will be on the road soon for 3 months and I need to smell good for the camera. They need to contact me to be the RV'er they use for affiliate sales!!!
My gosh, love the pro tips. I thought the pine tar was to repel mosquitos. I can’t believe the crowds there and the need to plan way ahead for bathroom breaks… that should be another pro tip.
All kidding aside, the $2 "limited edition" pass required and crowd control system they put in place at the Glacier National Park made the visit as pleasant as possible.
Beautiful definitely heading there thanks for the vid,ps you can forward Paul's # to me , 😆
Paul just agreed to drive us around again in the Mount Rushmore area for 3 weeks so I'm thinking I'm going to keep it a secret. That happened in late August & September. He will be our tour guide in Ft. Myers this winter as well, in Jan/Feb/March 2022!
You pointed at your head and said "kidneys" yeah that's right. I know that joke, heard it from my dad decades ago. Good one.
That is funny,..........my dad taught me that one as well!
Sue, I am going to remember that comment about the Lay's bag being bloated due to the high elevation.....as I slap my belly explaining it's size.....IT'S THE ALTITUDE!!! And Marco, why didn't you bring the e-walking stick so you could have easily made it up to Hidden Lake?
On a clear day, one of the most majestic places on earth.
All kidding aside,..........remembering the walking sticks many times really makes the difference.
That picture of you two was beautiful ❤
Thanks Scott,........I wish I had more hair!
@@OurJourneyInMyles I know what you mean
👍🍻😎🇨🇦
🎉
Love the WI accents…like home!! 😮😄. What month where you there?? Maybe go in September?? Thanks
Thanks Lou! We were there July 11th 2021 to July 21st 2021. For the most part, perfect weather except for the fire smoke in the atmosphere.
31:00 I think the 4 of you created what is now known as "Zig zag potty." 😂
Yikes,.......
Also don't miss Many Glacier!
We did that in our Part 1 video last week,......
I hate seeing the smokey haze at one of the most beautiful places on earth. Parking at Logan Pass is worst than finding a spot up close at Walmart 😂 and the sign should have read; "Not only is our parking lot full, so is our shitter! 😂 Sorry guys, I only drink on days ending in Y. 🥃 Safe travels and Happy Trails!
The bathroom situation was so ridiculous we had to show it! They could of cleaned one stall at a time,........considering one person was doing it!
@@OurJourneyInMyles It made for great content too! Thanks for keeping it real and entertaining 👍🏼
We have a 2019 Honda oddesy. We were told we couldn't pull it behind a motorhome. How do you pull yours?
Folks should always refer to the free, online PDF documents, that the Family Motorcoach Association compiles (The Dingy Towing Guides) listing all the approved cars and trucks by model and year, that you can pull behind a motorhome. Additionally, it proves notes on any added preparation needed before towing can start for the day.
I would probably NOT RECOMMEND pulling a Honda Odyssey. We are taking a chance,….we have a lot of money on the line with the faceplate mod and Air Force 1 Braking Mod. We paid top dollar to get an extremely low mileage 2013 EX-L, (about 23k miles) so the transmission was in as good a shape as possible. Are you willing to risk this like we have?
We corresponded with someone on irv2.com in June of 2017 that was pulling a 5 speed Honda 2013 Odyssey for over 25k miles. This prompted us to “go for it!” He has since (about 1 year ago, had a trans failure.) He maintains he thinks it was NOT related to towing it. He liked his Honda enough he put a rebuilt trans in! We love our Honda and will do the same if we have an issue. WE CHANGE THE TRANS FLUID every year!
We needed to pull a garage for our expensive bikes! After many conversations, WE DECIDED TO TAKE A CHANCE, AND PULL ONE AS WELL. We tow a 2013 EX-L Honda Odyssey. This is the latest year model (2013), and highest trim level (EX-L) model you can THEORETICALLY tow. Honda DOES NOT recommend towing it. Yes, I know, you are not supposed to tow it! Honda decided it wasn't worth the warranty claims of damaged Odyssey transmissions when NOT shifted into neutral following the EXACT instructions they provided way back in 2004.
(YOU MUST SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL FROM DRIVE ONLY, NOT FROM REVERSE!)
They gave up on the Odyssey towing public, because of this Odyssey peculiarity and said you can’t do it. I corresponded with a few other brave souls that had over 20,000 miles towed on their Odysseys before I was man enough to do it.
We have PULLED it about 25,000 miles since June of 2017, and we have DRIVEN it 59,000 miles. SO FAR, SO GOOD.
The 2013 Honda Odyssey Touring was a 6 speed, and CAN NOT be towed. In 2014, EVERYTHING went to 6 speed. You can search for the Honda Vin number decoder on the internet to make certain your Honda is a 5 speed to see if you would be OK. Any other years you would want to buy, you would want to research the internet and vin # to make sure you are not buying another 6 speed! We liked our (2) 2015 6 speed Honda Odysseys so much, that we sold them to get our (1) 2013 5-speed Odyssey. We are Full Time, and just need one car now. YOU DO NOT NEED ANY ADDED LUBE PUMPS!
THIS IS THE TOWING PROCEDURE WE USE,…….EASY AS PIE,…..
It has been simplified, directly from the 2004 Honda Odyssey towing instructions, which is the last year they "allowed" towing. The "PV1A Transmission” is the ONLY Honda Odyssey Automatic transmission you can tow, IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS from Honda back in 2004 when they allowed the PV1A to be towed. It MUST be this 5-speed transmission. I left in a lot of the Honda legal jargon at the end just for your info.
• Start the engine and get it to operating temperature. (I am usually still packing something up.)
• Press on the brake pedal. Shift the lever through all the positions (P,R,N,D,2,1).
• Then shift up from 1, 2, Shift to D, then to N. DO NOT GO INTO REVERSE! Let the engine run for at least three minutes, then turn off engine. THIS IS THE KEY, AND THE ABSOLUTE ISSUE THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED. SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL FROM REVERSE WILL SET YOU UP FOR PROBLEMS, AND/OR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. How many times you can do it wrong, I don't know. I am absolutely vigilant on this procedure. You must shift to neutral from DRIVE.
• Make sure parking brake is OFF.
• Leave the ignition switch in ACCESSORY (1) so the steering wheel does not lock. Make sure the radio and any items plugged into the accessory power sockets are turned off, so you do not run down the battery. (Our tow electric cord has a trickle charger line to keep the battery from going dead. We have an SMI Air Force One brake system,.......Honda is around 4,600 lbs. loaded.)
If you travel more than 8 hours in one day (including stopping time), you must stop and repeat the above procedures.
NOTICE:
The steering system can be damaged if the steering wheel is locked. Always leave the key in the ACCESSORY (1) position to prevent damage to the steering system when towing behind another vehicle.
CAUTION:
Severe automatic transmission damage will occur if the car is shifted from reverse to neutral and then towed with the drive wheels on the ground.
NOTICE:
Improper towing preparation will damage the transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine, your vehicle must be on a flatbed truck or trailer.
If you tow a Honda/Acura vehicle with automatic transmission, the fluid must be changed every two years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Although experience has shown that the Honda/Acura transmission and powertrain are capable of being "motorhome towed", America Honda does not assume responsibility for any vehicle damage or liabilities incurred due to the towing device, towing vehicle, lighting hookup, or other towing equipment or towing procedures; any responsibility for these items is assumed by the owner/operator.
If you have additional questions, please call American Honda Motor Co. Inc. (National Consumer Affairs) at 800-999-1009.
Good luck,…..as I said,…….I would think it is not a good, sound, financial idea,……although we are taking the chance!
Well that's as close to Glacier as I will get for some time. Maybe forever if they never open the Canada-US border...
I guess I thought the border had opened up already,........but things are still fluid.
Where are you from in Wisconsin?
West Allis/Waukesha/Milwaukee!
@@OurJourneyInMyles cool. I'm from Rice Lake NW. Going to Glacier next June.
If that famous old farmer happened to take a tumble, the headline would say "McDonald Falls!"😂
Yes they would!
