      I am not mechanically inclined… But if I am given a reliable transport that I can live in, I would call those roads my home, at least for the time of the year when one can drive them. I probably will never see them in my life, those mountains. I am very lucky to see them through your filming.

      Great video as always. My list of travel destinations and the desire to explore is growing every time I watch your videos. In 2 weeks I will get my new rig and then I will be back on the road. Pan American has to wait a couple of years, but Alaska and Canada will see me much earlier. Thanks as always for sharing your adventures.

    Dawson City is a cool town. Sour Toe Cocktail at the Downtown Hotel! Midnight Dome is not remote like you two like it, but the view of the waters of the Klondike mixing with the Yukon is something you just don't see everyday.
    17.2+K subs! An easy 20K by the middle of October. Probably more as others discover your WAY above average content.

    • @SlowRoamers
      @SlowRoamers  4 місяці тому +1

      Haha, thanks man! I’d be stoked on 20k by mid October. Maybe with our next video.😉
      Done the sour toe cocktail back in 2017, Meg wasn’t into it though. I liked the view from the dome. The last spot on the mtn ridge wasn’t too far from there. Dawson is indeed a cool spot, maybe next we go there it’ll be a little earlier in the season though. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    • @AceRph
      @AceRph 4 місяці тому +1

      By chance when I was there, it was Dawson City Days. The parade was pretty cool. I had never seen one where there were entries with chainsaws zip tied to truck mirrors. Gorgeous flowers and huge vegetables on display. People came from a long ways around. It was a real treat.

    I probably sat at that Alaska sign over 100 hours when I drove pilot truck for Holland America. I had to wait for the buses there. I am heading to Michigan in my van on Sunday or Monday and feel so tempted to go that way. Time crunch will probably prevent it though. It is truly an epic route!

    I was overlanding when Google maps changed the game forever with hd satellite view. As helpful as it is, sometimes I really miss navigating with nothing but Backroad Mapbooks and a first gen Garmin with no maps installed. So for me, having an overlanding app that tells me what to expect would be seriously disappointing, I'm drawing a line at satellite view!

    That’s quite a road! How do you keep your little black skull from flying off the dashboard? Looking at those vast distances and you topping off the gas tank made me wonder what kind of gas mileage Betty gets? Have you ever been nervous you won’t make it to your next destination? Too bad you didn’t get a “shot” of the wolf. Did you hear we’re eating dogs and cats in the U.S. now? 😂
