When this series of videos is finally completed, most folks will rightfully have 20 questions about Caravaning to ask! I would suggest you call the Wagon Master's wife Pat Poll at 616-450-7078 or email her at kobelpoll@yahoo.com This will allow you both to talk about the trip you just watched,....... which THEY were also on! You can't possibly get better answers to your questions than this! See you on the road!
Great cinematography, video editing, and narration. Mark is the modern day version of Walter Cronkite narrating "You are There" placing UA-cam viewers in the most beautiful vistas in the U.S.
You make me smile Mark! There is nothing like a good nap! Thanks for taking us along on this adventure, from hiking to rafting to jeeping and of course, to napping!
There are videos where you can watch and wish vicariously you were there. Then there are yours that makes me feel I AM there.Especially this tour series
I’m so glad you’re adventuring outside your comfort zone in the initial protected zone of the caravan. Next up you’ll be planning your own off interstate travels! The west has a lot more to explore in addition to the grand circle parks. So cool you’re seeing the beauty with your own eyes!
I watched this episode while flying home to Seattle from Chicago. Hit some turbulence about the time Paul was driving down the Shafer Trail. Made for a realistic ride along!!!
Ok, you've convinced us - we're now saving our spare change so we can do one of these caravans after we trade our travel trailer for a Class A diesel pusher! Great video; again OJIM comes through with the real experience.
Go for it! Adventure Caravans only books campgrounds with restrooms and shower facilities available. Class B and truck campers are welcome, along with pull behind travel trailers, 5th wheels, Class C, Super C and Class A motorhomes.
What a wonderful adventure! Thanks for taking us along. On a side note, I know that you keep Myles nice and clean... We left Florida with our Class A and paint matched trailer in pristine shape and now in Big Bend National Park covered in Texas dust! We'll be looking for a Blue Beacon! Happy and safe travels! Brendan & Lena
Another stellar video. We boondockers on BLM land outside of Moab for 14 days back in fall 2019. Loved riding our side by side there. Visited all those parks our favorite was by far Dead horse State Park.
what a beautiful site so many things to look at seem your video only lasted eight to 10 min. long. Thanks so much for taking the time to video this for me. Thank You so Much Jeff L Steele
Glad you enjoyed it! Its funny,......next week's video we worried may be too long. When I reviewed it with Sue, I felt bad when it ended! I wanted more, and I had been on it already!
@@OurJourneyInMyles no they all last 8 to 10 min long because it like first time I saw Jaw's it seemed to only last 10 min and that was because I enjoyed it so much.
Another fun video! Looks like you are having a ball on that tour.. We love you guys…every Sunday, I say to my husband, oh boy, it is Marco and Sue day!!👏You are both so cute, and Mark always cracks me up. He is a very smart goofball. Highest compliment!
hi Marc and Sue after watching these videos ,this is why we have to take care of this beautiful planet.I wish everybody could see this thank you for the front seat one more time .Be safe and enjoy.
This was a fantastic episode Sue and Mark! The photography and scenery was awesome. Your U.S of A sure does have some amazing places. Peace and calm. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦
We were in Moab before we ran into you at Ruby’s Inn Campground in Bryce Canyon City. We visited Arches twice and Canyonlands once. Beautiful. In Bryce Canyon, Barbara made me hike the Navajo / Queens Garden loop. It was listed as a moderately strenuous hike, and I would agree. Like Marc, I have a bad back, but so does Barbara, so I couldn’t complain about how painful the hike was.
Beautiful scenery for sure, really hope to do thus trip once I retire! Too bad I couldn't have taken the trip with the both of you, Mark your humor is much like my own and you really Crack me up with your comments!
What a beautiful area. Great Job running up those steps. Sue. You have a great support system in Mark. The views from your wind shield are very beautiful. Arches National Park is on our bucket list. What an amazing journey and video. We love getting ideas of places to go and things to do. Fred would be like you Mark and I would want to both raft and go jeeping. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. Mary 💕 Fred
Thanks for the great views.. We just finished our mighty 5 loop. Fortunately, it was later in season and the crowds were reasonable at Canyonlands and Arches. We loved camping at Wingate Campground at Dead Horse Point SP. We are fortunate to have a Jeep for a toad and did Shafer trail as well as a couple of others in Moab area.
Shafer Trail and Potash Road are awesome. 3 times on Shafer Trail in Jeep plus once downhill on mountain bike in the rain. Potash Road once each way. One complete White Rim Trail on MTB. CYNP is one of my top 5.
You should! We are already traveling way different now. We will be planning one out EAST sometime, because we are nervous traveling in that area of the country due to low clearances.
Thank you so much for these videos! I would soooo go on that Jeep trip! We are considering signing up for an adventure with that company! We love your humor.

I think you would have had company relaxing because Mary wouldn't have done none of the others or maybe she would have found a Walmart or Target in the area and went shopping.. I would have done the rafting for sure... Great video guys...
We made that very same trip through Utah two years ago and I'm ready to go back and do it again. 1) Was that the Scenic Highway 12 that you took from Torry to Moab? 2) What campground did you stay at while visiting Arches and Canyonland? I think driving the Shaffer Trail with my F-150 was the highlight of my trip :-) I love the video as I only had the opportunity to just take photos and make a video slide show afterwards. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your tour. I hope you were able to do Capitol Reef and stop by the Gifford House for some pies ;-)
The Shafer Trail in an F150 has to be insanely scary! That machine is much larger. The Highway 12 drive from Bryce to Torrey is being worked on now. The drive in this video was from Torrey to Moab. I hope you understand that we are trying to respect some aspects of Adventure Caravans "secret sauce" in packaging the best places, best price and best side trips for their tours. We can tell you that starting in a great spot like St. George allowed us to get into position 3 days early to see all sorts of things. And the tour "ending city" was AWESOME enough for us to stay an additional 2 days.
@@OurJourneyInMyles Understand. We checked out all the parks while we were there but didn't recognize the one you stayed at. For Arches,Dead Horse Point and Canyonlands we stayed at the Portal RV Resort which is nice if you stay in the private owners side. For Capitol Reef we had to stay at the Freemont River RV Park in Loa because everything else in the area was booked up. The WillowWind RV Park in Hurricane is a nice park and close to Zion. We had the same situation for Bryce in that everything was booked up so we had to stay at the Red Canyon RV Park in Panguitch. Lesson learned is that you have to reserve sites 6+ months out in order to get into the nicer campgrounds. Utah is an awesome place to visit. Glad you were able to visit all the National Parks there and some of the State Parks. BTW, KOLOB Canyon is part of Zion and right off of I-15 on the way south to ZION and much less crowded.
Hey guys it’s been a few weeks, great video breathtaking sights.. Hey Mark did they pour that concrete for you on those steps before you got there, so you could run up lol. We have been at Homestead Florida for the last 3 days for the NASCAR race. I think your schedule for next week is an NHRA drag race have fun, we were just in Las Vegas last week for the NASCAR race.. safe travel my friends see you soon..
We will be getting some repairs done at NIRVC in Las Vegas, and then attending the NHRA event. I am pumped to see how Sue likes listening to 10,000 horsepower! And we are actually excited to see the Las Vegas NIRVC, although I am NOT excited about the repairs needed.
Yes watching two top fuel or two funny cars launch will make your liver quiver… you’ll enjoy it…when you get to NIRVC say hello to Paul Justin and Kyle.. you too came up in a lot of conversations
Enjoying these videos of the caravan....trying ot convince Virginia to do it....she likes the independence of on our own....can you share her visors for your bike helmets?
The helmets we bought came with the visor. We looked closely at them and they appear to be permanently attached. They really make a difference. Before these helmets, we would wear a baseball hat under the helmet just to have a visor. With these helmets, we don't need the baseball hats!
@@OurJourneyInMyles We have the same "hard visor" but I thought I saw another cloth visor on one of your videos that went over the helmet. It must have been some other vblog. thanks for responding. Richard
darn you Mark, my orange juice came up through my nose thanks to you. the comment of if you want to know what the view looks like up there you are going to have to go to another you tube channel to find out. other then that there were some great views
I was thinking of how awesome the UA-cam Channel "Keep Your Daydream" is, and how they would be scampering up the mountain sides. That ship has sailed for this ole boy!

Mark and Sue, I sure like those hats . They make y’all look 50 years younger! Nice video!
Sue looked great in it, I looked like Danny Devito.
Ahh, Hipp Juice, Alien Engineering, Great Views, a spare George and a Great Jeep ride. Thanks for sharing!
You were really paying attention. You get an A+ Mr. May!
Great cinematography, video editing, and narration. Mark is the modern day version of Walter Cronkite narrating "You are There" placing UA-cam viewers in the most beautiful vistas in the U.S.
Wow, thanks for the kind words Jim!
You make me smile Mark! There is nothing like a good nap! Thanks for taking us along on this adventure, from hiking to rafting to jeeping and of course, to napping!
Glad you enjoyed it Cindy,............just remember,.......a nap without a CPAP is just a struggle for guys like me.
There are videos where you can watch and wish vicariously you were there. Then there are yours that makes me feel I AM there.Especially this tour series
I read your comment to Sue because it was so awesome. Thanks,....
Love your hats. Rafting better than Wrangler drive.
Hi Andrea.... this is Sue... I agree! I'd be in a panic the whole time jeeping like that... eyes closed and crying 🤷♀️
I’m so glad you’re adventuring outside your comfort zone in the initial protected zone of the caravan. Next up you’ll be planning your own off interstate travels! The west has a lot more to explore in addition to the grand circle parks. So cool you’re seeing the beauty with your own eyes!
That's the plan Penelope!
Another outstanding video in the can. Love you crazy 😜 kids!
Thanks Anthony,....
This looks like you are having the scenic adventure of a lifetime. Be well and stay safe.
Thanks Robert.
Been waiting with breathless anticipation for next episode
Thank you for the great comment. We have three more until we return to our regular life!
Simply mind-boggling.
Thanks guys!

Thanks Mark and Sue for another fan-tastic video. I guess I would have been sh!tting my pants Jeeping along those cliffs!
Sue refused to go in the Honda on this trail!
@@OurJourneyInMyles can't blame her! I will rather join you, do you have a spare chair? We can snore a tune
What a wonderful adventure! Thanks for taking us along. On a side note, I know that you keep Myles nice and clean...

Sounds great! Make sure they are just "double spraying" if off,......no brushes. The job won't be perfect, but it will be good enough.
Imagine pre nowadays how beautiful everything was.
Our out west grand circle tour proved to us in spades what a beautiful country we have!
Another stellar video. We boondockers on BLM land outside of Moab for 14 days back in fall 2019. Loved riding our side by side there. Visited all those parks our favorite was by far Dead horse State Park.
An amazing amount of bang for your buck and time invested visiting Dead Horse State Park!

We’re definitely doing the Jeep tour with our Jeep Grand Cherokee. Can’t wait!
Make sure to mount the GoPro,..........maybe even two!
Another great video, looks like so much fun. We live in such a beautiful country. Thank You for taking the time and effort to share this,
Glad you enjoyed it Mike!
Another great video. I feel like I’m there.
Glad you enjoyed it Keith.

Thanks for bringing a smile to our faces this morning as we drive to NIRVC Las Vegas for repairs!
hi Marc and Sue after watching these videos ,this is why we have to take care of this beautiful planet.I wish everybody could see this thank you for the front seat one more time .Be safe and enjoy.
I totally agree. We need to try to go to Mars lto colonize like a hole in the head. Let's take care of this planet.
Love the Jeep Trip video
More to come! We will be Jeeping with Pat & Paul in southern CA this winter if they invite us!
This was a fantastic episode Sue and Mark! The photography and scenery was awesome. Your U.S of A sure does have some amazing places. Peace and calm. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦

Awesome video. I think we should plan to do a caravan. We also need to get comfortable with out of the way drives.
You should! We are already traveling way different now. We will be planning one out EAST sometime, because we are nervous traveling in that area of the country due to low clearances.
very cool i believe we were there safe travels
It was the Arch with a hole in it!
@@OurJourneyInMyles we were there very cool

Looks like being part of a group was a great decision. Karen and I are talking about doing the same thing next year
I think on the longer trips it is definitely the way to go!
I think you would have had company relaxing because Mary wouldn't have done none of the others or maybe she would have found a Walmart or Target in the area and went shopping.. I would have done the rafting for sure... Great video guys...
Thanks guys,......the Adventure Caravans Trip allowed a lot of flexibility along the way.
Love my CPAP too! it is to me what the Blanket is to Linus!
This is Sue..... That's funny, Richard, and I get it! Mark compares his to a pacifier! And I agree.... within minutes, this baby is asleep!
Lol looks like the road to Hanna in Hawaii!
We will be there in January 2023!
Pasta Jay's. We have been back a couple of times.
I like the rebar comment. But it is the park rangers who at night go stack up the rocks.
That is why most of the Park Rangers are young!
Hi Marc and Sue. Have done the rafting, would love to do the drive.
Oh sure,.....no one is picking the CPAP nap.
Dead Horse Point - A story of Western cruelty. I'm glad they were not forgotten.
That park was a real surprise! So glad we found it,....
arxhes was very cool
We agree!
We made that very same trip through Utah two years ago and I'm ready to go back and do it again.

We love to touring in California,...so much to see, ......that's why we have made 41 videos over the years just in California!
CPAP and a nap. That's the ticket.
Been sleeping with "the machine" since 2000!
Did Pat and Paul meet anyone coming the other way on that trail? Looks like there is only room for one.
They didn't say that they did. That would have been interesting!

Dead Horse Point State Park was a real bonus trip!
Is this a dog friendly park?
All of the parks that Adventure Caravans selects are dog friendly. Most Rvers travel with pets!
Paul is a thrillseeker.🫣
He is a great and fun guy to be around!
