Hello from Chapel Hill. Just visited Little Bighorn in July. I agree with you that it is indeed a stirring place, made especially so by the single grave markers situated in the middle of the fields. Safe travels.
I noticed your lights under the trailer. I had a old timer give me a very good tip. I'm using solar power motion light under my trailer. When anything cross under, the light scares them off. Works like a dream!!
They have stopped, but the Billings still allows it. I agree it's a major bummer if they have stopped for good. We need to figure out a win-win arrangement for all of these stores. (ie. store purchase in exchange for overnight and/or dump stations).
We enjoy mozying. Perhaps when we retire we will be more able to thoroughly enjoy. Time crunch to get back to work sucks! Thank you for a great episode
Ha! We decided to opt for cabelas over that winery because we weren’t sure about parking on the street. We were exhausted so we didn’t care about missing the wine tasting. We did that tunnel years ago, it was pretty unreal and we recorded it as well. It is entertaining to see you guys visiting places we’ve been too.
This was a great video. I have a better understanding of nomad traveling. Being a planner my whole life, this is something I want to try. Thank you for the insights and please more videos like this one.
Loved this.. we just traveled through the same area on a very “planned” agenda.. as you say, there are pros and cons.. but you make a good argument for trying the unplanned! Thanks, Sean!!!
1981, I stopped in Custer, Montana for gas on a trip. I talked with the gas station attendant about the amount of volcanic ash they got from Mt. St. Helens in 1980. By the way, that bottle of Seven Deadly Zins is excellent. My "fun Aunt" introduced me to the brand. Unfortunately, I was about 61 rather than about 16 when she did that.
Thanks, I will check out the "Zins"! I have heard that it's actually good. I just like to tease about those wine descriptions. My palate is not so precise!
You guys travel the way we do. We love to just go and plan along the way. Makes the adventure so much more fun!! Thanks for sharing. We are really enjoying your content!
They say it is one of the most haunted spots anywhere, and many of the staff, including the college kids working in the summer have stories about getting the bejesus scared right out of them. Not a place to be at night, they say, the battle goes on.
We are in Custer since Aug. 1, for the summer. Really enjoyed this video. We used to travel with our horses, and stayed at Broken Arrow then. I hope you were able to do the wildlife loop in Custer Park to see the 1400 buffalo and the begging burros. So much in this area is a must. Spearfish Canyon is amazing. We really enjoy your videos. Wish we had known you were here. We had just left 7th Ranch RV at The Little Bighorn Battlegrounds before coming here to Custer. We spend our summers here because of the cool temps. God Bless, safe travels.
If you want to understand the culture of military life from the perspective of George Armstrong Custer’s wife, Elizabeth Custer, get the book “Boots & Saddles”. Fascinating writing including letters from Custer to his wife and Elizabeth to her husband. As well as descriptions of her duties as an officer’s wife in creating opportunities to improve morale among the troops, hosting parties for visiting dignitaries and support of her husband while traveling with the troops.
I see you folded in your mirrors to go through the tunnel. So did I. After I went through I watched a tour bus come through the tunnel. That was interesting. The card at the wheel had put a student driver sign in the windshield. 🤔 He literally had only inches on each side of his mirrors. Thanks for the video. You hit the nail on the head when you talk about the luxury of time. Because that’s what our traveling is. It’s never as enjoyable when there is someplace I have to be at a certain time.
Hats off to Cabela's for providing us with RV amenities! However, I can't park there because I can't put out the slides on my fifth wheel with the narrow width of the parking spaces. My partner won't even go in the trailer when the slides are in. She's claustrophobic.
That cabellas has a dump station at that location for a $5 fee. You were not far from it. I’ve used it many times. The common cents is now my favorite dump site though.
We are on our way to West Glacier before heading down to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Hoping to see you guys if possible. Just left home in Round Rock TX today.
Your footage of Little Bighorn gave me the feeling of Gettysburg Battlefield -- a reverent and haunted feeling. Thanks for another wonderful video! Illness (mine, although the general COVID situation would probably have discouraged me from traveling anyway) has kept me off the road for far too long, and I hope to get back out there fulltime by next spring. In the meantime I'm living vicariously through you!
We are on our way to Glacier. Thought about the lake y’all stayed at but wanted to get a little further down the road so opted for a parking lot. Going to stop at Little Big Horn also. This is our first time this far north. We love it.
My local Cabela’s still has overnight parking and signs for such, but the last time I came back to the area the dump station is gone like it never existed. All landscaped over. All that’s left is a cap over where the drain was, and a cap over where the pay/code post was. It only had a rinsing hose that the shut off got mange’s at some point.
I just went on a trip from Seattle area to southern Utah. It was the best trip ever, because I didn't plan a thing, but a few destinations.When I was tired at the end of the day, or my journey ended, was where I stayed for the night. I feel its the way to travel.
Hi Redstone buddies!! QUESTION: We are about 2 weeks from our travel trailer being built. What kind of weight distribution hitch do you use? Would you purchase the same one if you did it again? Important features: uncompromised safety (sway), ease of installation, and practical for predominately boondocking locations on national forest and BLM roads. Other niceties.....allows the tail gate to drop and no or minimal grease. Thank you!
I have always wondered why not all public restroom doors do not open out so they can be opened with you foot. God bless the inventor of the bathroom door foot pull.
Hi Doug, ours has also appeared to "die" before but it was easily brought back to life. You can reset your device if it stops functioning: hold the power key for 12 seconds. Let me know if this works!
Of course in Montana one of the first things you see in Costco is Bear Spray and a two pack no less! Welcome to Montana, hopefully the smoke won't be too bad for ya.
They take tour buses through there. Needles Hwy. Glad you enjoyed my back yard.
I’ve been to that Cabelas and Common Cents in Rapid City quite a few times in the last year.
Indeed. Consider the communication distance between Custer and Bentene - miles without radio communication.
Wow lucky . Lost the TB to hail in south Florida
Will you get Starlink someday?
Footpull on the bathroom door - yes those are awesome. Should be standard code lol
The post hailstorm pics were both eerie and beautiful! I love binge watching your videos!!!!!
The music and video of Little Bighorn NM just left me in tears.
More of this please. Love that part of the country.
"The unsung heroes that leave the large rocks by the dump stations" LOL hilarious.
Enjoyed this episode tremendously. The cars brought back memories. Thanks for sharing!!!
Quoting Curley, perfect.
You guys the smoke is mostly gone in north western montana if you want to come get the last month of warmth before fall starts.
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks so much Sean, now it seems to work again, THANK YOU!!!!!

very cool
Love hearing about all your travel plans and all that you share.
Terrific video - for sights, for the good idea of not planning sometimes (half the time or more?), and your perspective.
Wonderful episode. ! Thanks guys…nothing sloppy about it, love it.
I noticed your lights under the trailer. I had a old timer give me a very good tip. I'm using solar power motion light under my trailer. When anything cross under, the light scares them off. Works like a dream!!
I enjoyed the no plans travel adventure and a car show outside of a winery is a winner in my book.
I dig the travel vibe
Excellent upload!
Hi my wife and I stayed at the exact same spot in the Badlands September 4 2020!
That rapid city cabelas allowed overnight parking last year. Bummer if they stopped.
They have stopped, but the Billings still allows it. I agree it's a major bummer if they have stopped for good. We need to figure out a win-win arrangement for all of these stores. (ie. store purchase in exchange for overnight and/or dump stations).
Good times for sure. We live in Ontario, Canada. We are both so lucky to live in amazing countries where we can enjoy such beauty and freedom.
I totally stopped at the Rapid City Library to take a work meeting - I was lucky enough to grab one of their quiet rooms
The best thing about RV travel seems not being tied to one place. Love the waterfront comparison. 13:18
Love all of your videos but this one is one of my favorites
Welcome back to Big Sky Country!
a lot of variety in one week! 🤠
Watching this video, as crazy as it sounds, changed my whole negative start to a Monday to a positive one! Thanks!
Thanks much, I really appreciate your kind comment! Hope you have a great Monday!
Great video, You need to do more like this... Enjoy and be safe...
We enjoyed the fairgrounds campground in Twin Falls idaho
This was a GREAT video, Sean ~~~ Truly ENJOYED it !!
Oh wow. Good thing you missed that hail storm!
Totally a lucky break!
Man you finish well guys!!
I like the nomad attitude.
We enjoy mozying. Perhaps when we retire we will be more able to thoroughly enjoy. Time crunch to get back to work sucks! Thank you for a great episode

Great video really enjoyed it!
Actually great episode…
Very cute shirt for that water!
Very Good video, born and raised a little in South Dakota
Really enjoyable. Thanks! Cheers from Waiheke Island, New Zealand. 😁
Love the drone shots 👍
I'm too much of a planner, I fear. But I enjoy seeing others being laid back in a way I could only dream of doing - ha!
Lol! thumbs up for the shoutout for the folks who leave large rocks at the dump stations.
Not all heroes wear capes!
good video. we enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing!
...Very nice presentation; thanks!
What a joy to not be bombarded with TH-cam adds. Thank you. Long, Long Honeymoon.
We stayed at lake desmet about a month ago Great place
Very nice thank you
This was a great video. I have a better understanding of nomad traveling. Being a planner my whole life, this is something I want to try. Thank you for the insights and please more videos like this one.
Glad it was helpful! We'll dp more!
We just stayed at that Cabelas 2 weeks ago on our last trip

@@LongLongHoneymoon if I had to use one word to describe it, it would be "jammy." Think of a really tasty alcoholic jam for a piece of toast.
You guys travel the way we do. We love to just go and plan along the way. Makes the adventure so much more fun!! Thanks for sharing. We are really enjoying your content!
We’ve driven through that also!
That hail destroyed our pickup! You drove right past our house.
The Little Bighorn Battle site is very special place. You can almost hear the battle taking place.
They say it is one of the most haunted spots anywhere, and many of the staff, including the college kids working in the summer have stories about getting the bejesus scared right out of them. Not a place to be at night, they say, the battle goes on.
Always enjoy! Now I know where to look for bear spray...
FYI most hospitals have guest wi fi. And is usually pretty fast. Find their cafe and have at it.
Thanks, great tip!
We liked Little Big Horn too. We don't plan either.

OMG! I was holding my breath as you drove though that tunnel.😬
Great video. Thank you for all you do for rving.
Love it planning on hitting the road and was worried about ending up in parking lots ... Love the video
You can do it! We will do some more updates of this type as we go. We are having pretty good luck overall.
Hats off to Cabela's for providing us with RV amenities! However, I can't park there because I can't put out the slides on my fifth wheel with the narrow width of the parking spaces. My partner won't even go in the trailer when the slides are in. She's claustrophobic.
You never disappoint! Humor is contagious, love it

Very good thanks 👏👍🏿🔔
Awesome channel
Used rapid city cables last year Dump was behind the store water on the side. Also stayed overnight.
FYI i went through that tunnel in august of 2018 & while i was waiting to go through i saw a bus come out of it !!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! I really like this type of video.
More to come!
Loved it! Great video. Safe travels.
We are on our way to West Glacier before heading down to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Hoping to see you guys if possible. Just left home in Round Rock TX today.
Now I know what we are. Nomad RVers. We were in these areas this
Summer. Always wonderful. Thank you.

The airstreams would have fit. It is vary tight though. You leave your mirrors out to use as your guide. If your mirrors clear, your trailer will too.
My local Cabela’s still has overnight parking and signs for such, but the last time I came back to the area the dump station is gone like it never existed. All landscaped over. All that’s left is a cap over where the drain was, and a cap over where the pay/code post was. It only had a rinsing hose that the shut off got mange’s at some point.
It came on , the 890, like it always does, then just goes black. It's toast. Tried the 12 second trick, no dice, it's dead.
Not sloppy at all..fun!
Love your adventures!!!
I camp my way across country in a honda element. So I rarely make plans or reservations. Only way to go.
We were in the same place two years ago and got hit by an enormous hail storm. It destroyed our suv windows and left dents all over the vehicle.
I just went on a trip from Seattle area to southern Utah. It was the best trip ever, because I didn't plan a thing, but a few destinations.When I was tired at the end of the day, or my journey ended, was where I stayed for the night. I feel its the way to travel.

Great job, as usual video from Long Long Honeymoon is fun and informative to watch....
I purchased a Garmin 890 seeing your show. It died the first trip out west! Guess we shall try it again after sending this one back.
Hi Doug, ours has also appeared to "die" before but it was easily brought back to life. You can reset your device if it stops functioning: hold the power key for 12 seconds. Let me know if this works!
Fantastic. I learned a lot. Thanks.
Well, in wine descriptions one of the flavors they describe is Barnyard.
LOL gotta love wine marketing :D
Of course in Montana one of the first things you see in Costco is Bear Spray and a two pack no less! Welcome to Montana, hopefully the smoke won't be too bad for ya.
