Thanks Nicola! It was so fun, as you know, and terrible sometimes. But mostly fun. We're visiting the South Island in Feb/March. If you live there, and are around, we'd love to stop by and say hello. We're renting a campervan.
Welp. There's no place as beautiful as Montana in June. I'm so glad you got mostly sunny skies and green grass and clear streams. Now I'm homesick. That drone shot! It stopped my heart.
I got back home from a visit to Iowa at 11:15 p.m. and was ready for bed. I don't know why I had to turn on my computer first, but I did, and the first thing I saw was the notification of this video. "Okay, I'll check out a minute or two," I thought, "and finish tomorrow." HAH! I watched the whole thing. Among the many fine things I wanted to comment on was the perfection of the Soup Creek campsite, your good judgement in giving the skunk its space, and the beauty I saw between the 23:45 to about the 25:00 minute mark. And did I see some pork grilling @ 17:19? If so, I hope it was Iowa Pork.
Thanks for sticking with it at such a late hour, Mr. G. I appreciate it. The grilling was beefsteak, courtesy of camp host Art Crane. Thanks for watching. More to come.
Hey Ron, that was really fun to watch! Such a great ride and scenery! Well done capturing it! I’m not so sure about your choice of riding partners though. 😁❤️🍻
Thanks for watching, Rob! I love watching the trips you and Chris do. And we spent a not-insignificant amount of time talking about Parker wisdom, tips and tricks. And, yeah, I felt sorry for Pat and brought him along. He's so uptight and hard to get along with, which really comes through on the video 😆
@ 13:22, i've always heard this circus move called the "cowboy mount" (or dismount :-) (a.k.a. "cyclocross dis/mount" in some muddy circles) Best to practice _without_ a huge sausage bag hanging from the back of the seat. (and on a soft surface. ;-)
The word “swum” is the past participle of the verb “swim”. It is used in perfect tenses (present perfect, past perfect, and future perfect) or in passive voice constructions, always with a helping verb like “have,” “has,” “had,” or “be.” Examples: 1. Present Perfect: • She has swum across the lake many times. 2. Past Perfect: • By the time we arrived, they had already swum to the shore. 3. Future Perfect: • By tomorrow, I will have swum five miles. 4. Passive Voice: • The pool has been swum in by generations of champions. For simple past tense without helping verbs, use “swam” instead: • Yesterday, I swam in the ocean.
Excellent video Ron. I've been waiting for these. I think the word is Swimded.
Thanks Mat! We could have used you along to straighten us out on a few things out there.
Ron this is great! Love seeing the olderish guys back at it, and I do appreciate the grace and humor.
Thanks for the nice words. I feel lucky to be able to do this kind of stuff, and want to continue as long as I can.
Wow, it reminds me when I was hiking in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 my friends and I went deep in the streams. Oh, it feels so good ...
Brilliant! Thanks Ron. What fun 😁

Definitely. We will be here. Settling back in after a rewarding time away. Stay in touch will be great to see you 😊
@NicolaHoodless excellent!

It's so beautiful there. I keep going back!

Watching from asian ❤
Thanks for watching!
Richmond pass was a sod to climb ,we did it July 24
It's a beast!
When did you do this, I can't believe how clear the air is in the video. We did the same section in 2021, and it was so smokey. I was jealous.
We left June 23. Pat was with me through Helena, about 8 or 8 days, and we were incredibly lucky with air and weather. Thanks for watching!!
Same here. So much wildfire smoke we couldn't see the Wind River mountains in Wyoming while going over Union Pass.

4. Passive Voice:

For simple past tense without helping verbs, use “swam” instead:
• Yesterday, I swam in the ocean.
Brilliant! If only we'd have known that back in June. Thanks for watching, and for straightening me out.
