- Another breathing crisis has us tunnel visioned to get to Pennsylvania and to Madley's upcoming vet appointment but inclement weather causes us to detour back a bit and spend a few days in Shenandoah River State Park in Virginia. TJ discovers an issue with one of the Airstream tires and we hike down to the Shenandoah River to catch the Blue Bells in peak bloom.

Oh my God, watching Madly suffer just broke my heart. Hopefully the vet specialist can do something for her. God should have made dogs that live just as long as the humans they love so much. I'm 71 years old. I hadn't had a dog since I was a young man because of work career, etc. Five years ago, and ten years into retirement, my wife and I got an miniature Australian Sheppard pup we named Gus following the loss of our son that occurred just a few months before. He has brought so much joy to our lives and helped us to heal. I can't imagine life without Gus. I pray Madly will get to enjoy much more time with her family. God bless you and yours.
WELCOME! You are 60 miles from our house. We are fortunate to live in the Shenandoah Valley and 4 miles to the Blue Ridge Pkwy. AND the Skyline Drive.
You "gotta" love people who put their pets first.
We were riding our motorcycle on Skyline Drive when a big black bear stepped out on the road. He didn’t care that we were there and turned back into the woods. About a hundred yards away a hiker came out of the woods and was heading back to the spot where the bear entered the woods. We were hollering and waving but the hiker just waved back at us as if to say hello and just kept walking! Love Virginia! We have a motorhome with a motorcycle lift and we can tow our Tracker with it, too. Safe travels and good luck with Madley.
TJ is quite the smooth operator but Brie is no slouch either, lol.
Hang in there Madley, we are all rooting for you.
We are thinking of you both and your sweet Madly. We also have an older brittany and understand how special they are, and how hard it is when they get sick. Our hearts go out to you all!
The “purple trees’, which are actually more fuchsia in color, are indeed called Red Bud, but also Judas Trees, as they are in full bud around Passover/Easter weekend each year. Interestingly, their leaves are heart shaped. I live only 2 hours from Harrisonburg and the Shenandoah River, and have never seen the bluebells in bloom. Thanks for sharing. Hoping and praying that you’re having success with pup-dog’s treatment in Pennsylvania.
I figure the redbuds are great in the wild but like a weed in the yard once they have bloomed. They try and take over and are kind of ugly once the flower is gone.
I feel for you and Madly. I truly wish you the best and for her to have a speedy treatment and recovery. I know that this week can not come fast enough. Please keep me informed.
Bree those are eastern redbuds.
Just wanted to thank you again for the extra effort lugging around the stabilizer gimbal. I know it's heavy and a pain to use for every shot, but your channel stands out from the rest, and although you don't hear enough good feedback from us about it, wanted to say thank you again for using it and the extra hard work. It MATTERS to me! :)
Your eyes R breathtaking 😇
TJ, you were bout to have a blowout brother. It's a good thing you're very observant, and noticed that tire. I'm sooo glad it didn't happen, and y'all are ok!!
Thank you Dave. We are very lucky, that definitely could have gone really bad 😬
You're welcome friends!!
Good catch TJ on the tire and the dove wrapper was fitting.
Poor puppy hope she gets better
Welcome to Virginia! Mark &Jenny
Praying for Madley....my dog was just diagnosed with a heart murmur and does the same wheezing when he gets too excited. Our fur babies are so precious!!!
Sending prayers for you and your precious pup.
Thank you 🙏
I love you 2 are about the destinations and travel. I wont say names there are too many 100k plus channels they rehash the same junk how to this and how to that, must have, how to organize blahh blahh just easy videos how to rv and not about the journey thank you for keeping it fresh with new places.
Oh WOW. We were there probably only weeks after you guys. Stay in site 8 for four nights with lots of hiking and a little rock scrambling. Then we went to First Landing SP on Virginia Beach for 3 nights. All awesome!!! Wish we could have met!
I told you before about my springer that had that condition , I haven't wanted to say this because I know how much your pups mean to you two . My dog was very strong for 10 years old , the surgery was just too much for him . I had to make the decision 2 hours after it . If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have put him through it . I feel so bad for you two and your two great dogs .
Oh poor pup... 4pm check in time is so late! Actually 1pm check out is late too 🙄 Nice Dove wrapper wording - my favorite one I have read is: Make “someday” today. Beautiful trail & those bluebells 😍 I would take advantage of that laundry too at that price.
Poor Madly!! 😥 She just looks worn out after those episodes - here’s to a successful procedure at the PA vet. TJ, GREAT catch on the tire! You’ve reminded me to not only watch tire pressures but do an inspection at each campground. Two thumbs up! 👍👍 And what’s up with Brody and the koi fish??? 🤣🤣🤣
Another interesting video of the Shenandoah area. We traveled most of the trail a couple of years ago and loved it! Headed out to Durango ourselves Friday the on to Yellowstone with our nine year old granddaughter for her first visit out west and our forth to Yellowstone. Hope Madley does not have any more spells between now and her appointment and they can give her some relief. Save travels.
Hope everything works out for your pet. It's always hard when those things happen. Have two more days with my business and it will no longer be mine, can't wait to see some of those things you are seeing. We've lived on the road for the last 37 years for about 200 day's out of the year for my business but haven't seen anything. Pick up our new bus in Florida on the 10th of next month. We aren't full timers but will still be spending around 200 day's a year. Have really enjoyed your videos
Thank you for the well wishes 🙂🐶 CONGRATULATIONS on your retirement and new RV. Have fun and travel safe.
You guys are awesome! The blue flowers were worth it! Safe travels
I hope your puppy dog gets better soon.
Really cool to see you in the Shenandoah Valley and especially Harrisonburg, my 7th great uncle was the founder of Harrisonburg.
Puppy is so precious and your care is impeccable.
Video excellence. 🌸
Hi guys!! Safe travels!! Feel better Madly I love you!!
Beautiful bluebells and area
I have site 26 reserverd for 5 nights in May of 2022 :) . I'm so happy to hear that you have been doing well, I hope that Madly is doing ok. My oldest springer who is almost 13 is healthy accept for some big limpomas that are starting to cause problems they have tested twice with no conculisive results. He is not suffering, if that happens they I will have a desision to make. take care missed your videos.
The purple trees are called redbuds. One of the first signs of spring and there is usually a cold spell when they bloom. We call it redbud winter, then there is dogwood winter and the last cold spell is blackberry winter. Usually clear sailing to warm/hot weather after that.
Thank you we’ve been seeing them all along the highways. They are BEAUTIFUL!
OMG .... It is so beautiful Video
Those trees with the dark pink blooms are Redbuds. Fun fact. The Virginia state tree is the Dogwood by default because the state flower is the Dogwood.
We stayed on site 29 last August. One of our favorite parks.
Poor Madley :( The shuffle music was perfectly amusing :) You two are adorable together !
Glad you are back on the road.
While your in that general area if you have time, check out Luray Caverns. It's will worth the trip!
We have been to Luray Caverns in the past. It is amazing. Beautiful area 🙂
That was just beautiful! Thanks!
I've been told and read you only use the marked "Jack Spot". We have only used the raising the same side tire method, usually with blocks of wood (never with a fancy plastic thingy). I'm doing bearing and brakes now, and have the front tires on a 4" high cinder blocks, you might try the Anderson and see if it works. MY QUESTION to TJ, where did you jack it, frame rail between the tires? We love watching you guys, I'm sure Brie is a hell of a catch, but sometimes I really feel for TJ...lol Together You both bring so much genuine personality to your channel. Great Job!
I lift the trailer from directly between the tires right below where our shock is mounted. I also try to make sure the jack head is closer to the curved part(outer edge) of the frame. Airstreams do have dedicated jack points that are usually marked under the trailer. I have used them in the past but on our trailer they are quite far from the tires and I found I was having to lift the trailer higher to get the wheels off the ground. Knock on wood I've not had any issues.
The trees could be fruitless plum.
Embrace your detours, TJ. Even if they are behind you. 😊👍🏻
Great post this week, thanks for sharing the journey!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! ⛺️❤️💯⭐️👍🏼
Prayers and Hugs to you and Madley. The Vlog has beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing. ✌❤🤗
Beautiful scenery & photography, skillful editing. Thank you. Good luck at the vet appt.
Great video as always! 🙏 for your puppy! 😢
Ha, ha, ha, my hubby is same way on moving days. Sometimes he is packed and ready the night before!
I can’t imagine how scary it is for you guys when Madley has an episode....almost made me cry seeing her struggle ❤️
The skyline drive was gorgeous when we did it. We stayed in same campground for a week while we explored that area. Lovely!
We actually was there last year nice place to visit.
Shenandoah River State Park is one of my favorite campgrounds. Nice job capturing it 👍🙂
Beautiful area with all that color. I know y’all are ready to get your fur baby some relief. Safe travels👍
I haven't seen you guys in quite a while. Somehow the alert bell got un-dinged. I quickly changed that. In the beginning of the video I couldn't help but to remember how much TJ's looks remind of me of Kevin Costner. (That's how he worked the girls in the shack). Then later in the video you mentioned leaving Dances with Wolves on for Madly. Too funny. That is a great park. The rangers their are all really great to work with. Wish I knew you were in the area. You weren't too far from where I live. Would of bought you a beer or two or three........🍺🍺🍺😎
I know by now you have had your appointment for madly. Hope it all went well. I am catching up on your videos. Keep up the great work. Have fun, stay safe and stay healthy!
Very pretty area
Great Video
Good catch TJ! I would go ahead and replace the other 3 tires soon. If one is going bad the rest aren't far behind.
Redbuds and the white flowered trees are Dogwoods. One of our three cats has "only child syndrome" he's super sweet with his humans not so with his own species. Good catch on the tire TJ.
We say Madley is more like a cat sometimes 🙂
What a pretty area! My brother lives in that area, and I can't wait to drive my RV up there for a visit. Hope your dog is going to be OK. Just needs to stay calm til he gets to the doctor.
Good catch on the tire. I’d say you definitely dodged a bullet. Always good to look around.
Great Catch TJ !! I too, am always looking to prevent a problem from happening. Proactive, again great job of avoiding a possible big/dangerous situation from taking place. Brie, so lucky , you both are great, Thanks!
We are definitely keeping tabs on Madley. :(
Redbuds, Dogwoods, and Bluebells. Virginia was beautiful! We were at Shenandoah river State park while you were there.
Yes they’re redbud trees. Beautiful, and the flowers are edible, great in a salad.
We visited Shenandoah National Park in September last year. It was beautiful! Those beautiful trees are called “Red Bud”. You can make jelly out of them! :D. Bluebells were beautiful. You did get lucky!!! :D
Hope things go well for your dog. I live about 60 miles west of where you are. My son & daughter in law are graduates of James Madison University in Harrisonburg VA. Weather is hot today!!
Loved this one. We are from VA just about an hour and 1/2 from there. Kinda made me a little homesick, especially in the spring with the redbuds. So glad you found some nice spots while waiting for Madley's appointment. Then east coast can be so hard sometimes. Be well, Dave and Lorrie
Virginia is truly a beautiful state. We’ve made quite a few stop throughout the state in the past and have never been disappointed 🙂
that vet will have Madley up & running in short order!! i know it can be difficult to see them suffer like that!!
those trees are called "red buds" & my dad always said when they bloom we always had a cold spell that he called "red bud winter" along with when the blackberries bloomed called blackberry winter!! thank you for taking us along showing us the beautiful countryside!!
I have soft spot for animals especially dogs. It's heartwrenching listening to your pup suffering. Pets bring us so much joy but when things go downhill it's rough. Hang in there. I will pray she gets the help she needs. Take care
It’s such a horrible feeling to be so helpless while watching them struggle. Thank you for you kind thoughts and prayers for our girl.
TJ, I am with you! I hate backtracking! I want to see something new!! I always enjoy your videos. You all look like you are doing it right! Thx for sharing!
Exactly. We can backtrack once we’ve seen all the new stuff 😉
Sorry we missed you as you went by. You passed right by my office going to your overnight in Harrisonburg. Only there blocks away. Welcome home to Virginia! If you have any issues as you pass through that we can help with bring by… reach out. You are never alone in the Shenandoah Valley.
When you went for your drive, did you go to Skyline Drive? Gorgeous scenery there! You were only about an hour from us, and we will be at SRSP in June. (I also didn't realize there were Virginia Bluebells along the river, as we have never been there in April....but maybe next year.) Keeping Madley in our prayers.
What a gorgeous park that is that you camped at in Virginia. I'm always keeping an eye on our tandem axle travel trailer tires.
I(Tj) like to make it a habit to do a visual inspection and run my hand over the tires whenever airing up or putting in the chocks. Paid off this time. 🙂
Great Park! We started tent camping there before we did our first RV trip there. In the Summer you can float down the river and there is even an good zipline in the park as well. The mountain bike trail is very easy with nice views, but on the short side. The walking trail is flat and good, but be careful of Copperheads as we have seen them on the trail.
It is a beautiful park! Someone else had mentioned the copperheads to us. Thank goodness we didn’t see any this trip 🐍😬
I feel bad, for what you two are going through with your dog’s breathing. These animals become family members and show so much “unconditional” love, and to see them sick is tough. We lost our traveling companion, Emmy a few years ago to “couches disease” so had to watch her slowly decline in her health... she was a Vizsla, and just loved to bird hunt, and travel with us. I wish you the best of luck with you Brittany! Thanks for sharing you videos, including the pains you are feeling! and TJ, not all old codgers, shake fists at you youngsters because of loud vans... ha ha ha. Remember we lived in the 50’s & 60’s with our “muscle cars”.... 😆. Wishing you the best of luck with Brody (sp?) and Safe Travels!
So sorry for the loss of your Emmy. Thank you for your kind words and well wishes. Oh and vroom vroom 😁
They are Red Bud trees
Hey if you guys are heading up to PA. To the Lancaster area you need to go to ROOTS it's a farmers market flea market don't remember what day it's open so you would have to google it. Also you need to go to SHADY MAPLE on wednesdays after 4pm all you can eat PRIME RIB plus the rest of the buffet. Last time i was there it was 20.00 a person not sure now so don't eat after breakfast. You will love it. SAFE TRAVELS.
Out videos are a couple of weeks behind. We did go through Lancaster and stopped for some of their local fare. Wel might be heading back through this fall and we’ll make sure to put this on the list. Thanks for the tip 🙂
Praying for Madley and for your safety during your travels. Good catch on the tire TJ! I am curious as to what caused it to wear so specifically. If you find out give a share. Good luck with Madley's appointment. Nothing but good news I pray.
Thank you for your prayers. My best guess is the tread separated from the tire. We are going into our 4th year and close to 60,000 miles on these tire so we were due for new ones. We had planned to replace them this year anyway, we were just waiting till we were in New Hampshire(no sales tax 🙂). Thank you for watching & commenting.
8st. My friend is moving from St. George, Utah to Virginia next month. Now I'm jealous of the scenery. Poor Madly.
You’ll just have to go visit him 😉
Well hell I was impressed with TJ in his charm he was my hero until I realized those girls didn't know what they were doing and I got all kinds of disappointed ha ha well still hoping for the best for you girl man I've been through all that crazy stuff with dogs having breathing problems and stuff so I know what you guys are going through keeping my fingers crossed for y'all will you guys take care and see you next week
Thank you Kenny. I know we may not always get to respond but we always look forward to your kind and up beat comments. We are so glad to have you along 🙂
C'mon TJ, the name of your Vlog is "Embracing Detours".... going backwards for a couple hours is part of the gig! LOL. Keep up the great VLOG posts!
Beautiful flowers..poor mattie hope she is okay..what brand of air conditioner is in your airstream we have a 5th wheel and want to get another ac in the bedroom
Our AC units are made by Dometic.
@@EmbracingDetours okay thank you ours is dometic in the living area and we have had problems with it..our camper is 2 yrs old..we are thinking about getting a different brand for the bedroom
Are you still rving? Hope all is well.
Super video! I applauded for $5.00 👏👏
Thank you so much 😊
@@EmbracingDetours for Madley
Redbud trees
That tire looked pretty bad. What was the root cause for the wear? Also, what was the age of the tire? It looked like it may have had some stress cracks. We just replaced all six on our class c. They were at six years. Better safe to just replace. I enjoy your videos very much. Keep up the good work. Where are you off to after Pennsylvania? Safe travels
We are going into our 4th year on those tires. It looked to me like the tread had separated from the tire causing the uneven wear. We had already planned to replace the Airstream tires this year in New Hampshire(no sales tax) 🙂 Thanks for following along and travel safe.
Redbud tree.
I have been following you since you had less than 10,000 subs. I have been waiting for you to come East and I meant to write and give you some suggestions. It sounds like you know PA since you made a vet appt. there, so I guess you know where you're going to go. I live east of Baltimore and the area you are in is my go-to for a fast trip. But I usually go up on the Sky Line drive to camp. But the campsite that is close to where you are is closed due to COVID so you couldn't have gotten into it. But it is beautiful up there not like the west though. Are you going to visit any of the historic sites from DC to Boston. Are you going to an Atlantic beach very different from the Pacific. Is it possible Madley is allergic to some of our vegetation. We are in high season for allergies I'm sure you are noticing it on your van and camper. Have an awesome trip. I think you should have more subscribers I love your videos.
Thank you Ellen for your kind words. We are planning to visit Boston for sure, it’s only @ 2hrs from where will be for the summer. We visited and made videos of our trip to D.C. and some of the surrounding area in 2019. Thank you for commenting and following along 🙂
@@EmbracingDetours I must have missed that summer actually I was out camping most of that summer so I guess you were here when I was away.
15:23 redbuds
Number 1 on #1 Channel . I feel your pain , makes me want to not watch actually . Damn animals and the love they give and take . Best wishes
You get a 🥇💃🏼
Hello! What happened to your cat?
Unfortunately we lost our boy Jack to kidney failure in 2020. He was 17 yrs old.
@@EmbracingDetours omg I am so sorry to hear! 😢 we love your channel and can’t wait to see more content. Hugs from Utah!
I just don't understand how you can be taking your time driving to PA and doing tourist stuff while your dog needs to get to the vet. If it were me, I would drive non stop to that vet.
If we could we would. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the veterinarians schedule.
@@EmbracingDetours I hope it all works out well.
If you need to get madly to the vet why are you taking so long to get there I would have driven more than 4 hours I would drive as many hrs as I could to get my baby there
We have had the appointment scheduled with the specialist since February, we are at the mercy of the vet’s schedule unfortunately and just have to manage her symptoms until then.
