You me and the RV
Love Yosemite, grew up camping there and in the area as a child all the way to high school. When we camped there it not cost anything to camp. That was 100 years ago. HA! HA! Phil I understand your pain, I have two bad knees and a bad back, so you will not see me on the trails any time soon. HA! HA! I'm a vet also and I want to thank you both for your service. The country needs more folks like you.
God bless and safe roads. Russ
With a Prosthetic on my right foot & a brace on my left I would not be able to hike that SO Phil & Stacy THANK YOU for that BEAUTIFUL/GORGEOUS Scenery!!!! LOVES/HUGS!!!!
TREKKING POLES!!!!! They give so much stability (especially on downhill slides) and take pressure off the knees. We highly reccomend!
So true! It makes those hikers 4 wheel drive.
OK Phil, I heard when the knees give out, you can buy a stair glider for even an RV! Believe me, I am looking for 2 stair gliders for my 70th birthday! You two enjoy what you can for now! And I will thank you both for your service and your love to give back! You Two Rock!!
Looks like a great hike with fantastic views!!
I'm another Georgia Girl. My hubby is an Army veteran. Love watching ya'll.
The first mountain I ever climbed was behind a pair of senior scouts who wished to prove that young and inexperienced scouts needed to be broken in hard and taken home wet. Huffing and puffing was part of the drill. Now - front end of park only. Thanks for taking us along so we don't have to huff and puff.
Just need y'all to know, I (Renee) ate pizza while watching you guys hike this beast. As you became SOB from hiking, I became SOB from eating my pizza too fast. Now for ice cream, thanks Stacy for talking about ice cream, I have no other choice! #struggles #needtocatchmybreath #dontfall
Phil if you answer this comment and don't know what SOB is then ask Stacy 🤣
Love you guys!
You're welcome!! Hope the ice cream was delicious!
Hiking sticks, Hiking sticks! We've used them for the last 40 years we've been together and hiking along the way. They're a life (and knee) saver, especially on rocky and steep hikes. We still use the same ones we bought over 35 years ago! Get a good adjustable pair (one for each of you), either aluminum or titanium, you won't regret it. Love your adventures. Happy travels!
Wonderful video You two, and I would say Stacy is so darn cute she can wear anything she wants on her feet , but I was sure glad to see she had shoes on.
The first time I hiked to the top of Lembert Dome was in 1961. I was 5 years old. I have been many times through the years. A few times I’ve gone up the face, not technical climbing but pretty steep! Wonderful memories!
Thanks for sharing!
Hiking poles help tremendously for the knees going up but especially down. Next purchase😉
We have done that hike, but didn't do the loop back. Came back the same way we went up. You should have gone to the top, it wasn't that difficult to do. My wife, and son didn't go to the top either, but I had to, because that is what I do. I love to get to the top of things. Congratulations Phil. Not a difficult hike, but with your knee, I am sure it wasn't a piece of cake.
Love Yosemite, grew up in the area and we used to spend a lot of time up that way fishing and camping when I was a kid. Phil, I feel your pain when it comes to the knees. For me I can hike up hill with no problem but start going down hill and then the problems show up. Thanks for your service...
I'm the opposite up hill is hard for me
The elevation altitude will make you very short of breath
We hiked Lembert dome this summer, my daughter and I went to the summit. We went the same route as well. Every step of this video brought back great memories. Thank you for reminding us of our epic summer RV trip!
That is awesome!
Thanks for taking us along!! Hope Phil’s knee is OK!
We did the same hike in August! Instead of turning to the Dome, we went up and around the VERY peaceful Dog Lake and then back and around to Lembert's. We couldn't find the easy route to the Dome top so we basically rock climbed up. Luckily realized the easier route off of the Dome! Other than the Glacier Point view (you can drive to it), I'd say Lembert's is the best hike/view at Yosemite. Your last few vids have brought back lots of great Yosemite memories!
I like when Phil goes Zen. I closed my eyes and imagined being in Yosemite but fell asleep. Great video.
I'm enjoying your videos from that area. When ever possible please give us distances and time for your hikes and even driving time from campgrounds to points of interest. You did in this vid, but not some of the others. We travel with a dual sport motorcycle (a Yamaha TW 200) and it has a range of only about 70 to 80 miles.
Congratulations for recognizing that your shouldn't try to climb to the top. I wouldn't either. Who was it that said "A man's got to know his limitations."
Great video. Thanks
You can find all the hike details in the campaign blog.
Beautiful view. Phil you da man . Good job. Nice shoes Stacy.
Beautiful view on top! Phew I felt your pain Phil when you hurt your knee coming down!
Hi Stacy and Phil! I see that you do a Sheila too to Phil! She pretty much does the same thing to her husband Todd (from Switch It Up) when they go on hikes, bike rides, or canoeing. Oh by the way, love the video and of course the scenery!! Hope you guys are ok with those slip-ups, especially Phil🚶♀️🚶♂️. Yeah you deserved a double scoop of🍦🍧🍨
Thanks for taking us along! Maybe hiking sticks are in your near future? They help with those slips and downhill walks.
WoW! You two are amazing! I’m glad you enjoyed the hike and felt the view was worth the trip. (It would have killed me! 🤣😂🥴). I’ll just continue to live vicariously through you two when it comes to hiking!
I'm nursing Plantar fasciitis myself. I really aggravated it on an anniversary trip to Rocky Mountain NP in October.
If I tried to clime that mountain chipped people in wheel chairs would be passing me.
Then their would be a fight for the wheel chairs . The next day would wound see me in the
local news. Four miles what a trip and that high I would only guess the oxygen would be
hard to breath. Loved the video just watching made me sweat ! I had to get a class of water
and eat a candy bar. Thanks for sharing !
One tip I learned way back in Boy Scouts is when going up steep slopes, take smaller steps and lock your knee with each step. The result is much more noticeable when carrying a heavy pack, but it should work just as well for you.
Great information, thank you
I don't know but I've been told It's easier to breathe at elevation low! 😂😂😂
Congratulations on the Navy win.
Great job, Phil & Stacy! What a beautiful hike.
Looks so beautiful and fun!
I think I’d use hiking poles…Phil that may help you too…disperse your weight and take the pressure off you knees and back …happy hiking 🥾
So happy you brought water on this hike:)
Love, love, love you two!!! Watch all your videos. Heading out in May full time for a couple years. Just bought our 38' diesel pusher.....she sittin there ready to go......can't wait!!! Have learned so much from you guys. Thanks a million.
Aaaay Phil, from one fella with old knees to another, have you tried hiking poles? My pair of collapsible poles helps a lot, especially on the downhill sections.
Great hike. You guys are the best. Phil, I had both knees replaced and hiked the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim a couple years after. No problems. Now, however, I have had four more replacements on top of the first ones and could never hike that trail. I have found that going downhill is harder on the knees than uphill. Two hiking poles help greatly.
That hike looks so worth it! Gorgeous views!
Phil, When you get that new knee put in, opt for the external grease fitting!
Agreed. Hiking is much different then jogging or walking long distances. I love hiking and exploring on trails. I like when you are on and in and out trail when someone comes down and encourages you by letting you know the hike is worth it. The longest that I can get out of my 3 liter water bladder is about 6-7 miles and I am rationing it. Have you tried using a hiking stick, Phil? Mary 💕 Fred
I am a member of the "bad knees" club. ( both) I have an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon on Jan. 6. The plan is gel injection so I can loose weight before replacement. Going downhill can be worse than uphill on the knees. I use to love hiking. Hopefully I will be able again after replacements.
Phil, YOU NEED HIKING STICKS or at least one!!!! I have 2 bad knees, trust me, the hiking stick helps. I usually don't use it until I'm headed down. And it really helps if you have a creek crossing. Don't cheap out and pick up a tree limb that you found in the woods, get a real hiking stick. Also, don't get the clearance special at Walmart either. More money means lighter yet stronger sticks. Get one that has a really good handle that feels comfortable in your hand.
You two are a kick to watch!
The 1st section of steep trail is the worst simply driven by elevation adjustment, unless you’ve acclimated ahead of start.
Tremendous view!!!
Hoping Phil’s knee heals well. Thanks for sharing the adventure! 🖖🏻😘🙏🏻👍🏻
Love the videos but today I gotta say GO ARMY, BEAT NAVY! Tomorrow we can be friends, today, we can be friendly opponents. GO ARMORED ARTILLERY!!
My husband and I are looking into the RV lifestyle and I've started following a bunch of RV youtubers. I absolutely love watching the two of you go on adventures
I Love Yosemite!! I live a few hours from there. We don't go near enough either! Much Love to you guys, Thank You as always for your beautiful hikes and Trips I love your life
Thank you for another great video. Many trails in Yosemite are a combination of granite, gravel and dirt making it easy to lose your footing no matter how easy, steep or level. Important to have good footwear also! Cheers!
Wonderful scenery. Thanks for taking us along and doing the hard work!
I'm impressed! Looked like a tough hike, especially with a bum knee! Thanks for taking us along!
If you haven't, you need to spend some time in Rock Mountain Natl. Park. All of Colorado really lol. Thanks for the vids!!! I'm making a list of the places to go to with my wife every summer and once we retire.
Good espisode. Glad to see you guys show the human side of hiking with sore knees and all. We can relate. We also find that going down hill with sore knees is almost tougher than climbing up. Hoping to see Yosemite in late March if its open then.
You two are amazing and we love your videos!!! We have learned so much watching them! We stayed at our first Corp of Engineer campgrounds from what you shared with us and loved it. Now that’s all we look for. Lol
Thank you for sharing. Always looking for a good hike. 👍
Great video, but my heart did stop for a second when you started up to the top of the rock! I actually said out loud…”DONT DO IT!!” LOL. Altitude is no joke, the mind is willing, but the body is saying ‘Hell no!” LOL. Thanks for sharing that view!
You are so right about that! The altitude was worse than the incline! But man it was worth it.
Love watching your adventures❤
Another beautiful hike! I’ve never been to Yosemite NP but it’s now on my bucket list, thanks to you. We were especially happy to see you more prepared for this hike than previous hikes! Good work you two! 🥾🥾
Oh man you for sure need to as well as the Red Woods if you haven't been there either
Curious any Bigfoot markings?... bahahahahaha... I am not a huge hike fan but Sheila always says the views are worth it... SNACKS!!!
I loved your video! You guys are so adorable and your video is informative and fun to watch. Thanks so much, I want to do this hike!😊
You should! It is an amazing hike!
Good save to both of you
Phil and you are used to sea level. 😊
May I suggest hiking sticks? My husband also has had plenty of knee surgeries and having collapsible hiking sticks are essential for him especially on the slippery downhills.
I like that you rate the hike according to Phil’s knees. I sound like y’all (out of breath) on those hikes and I agree - the ratings I see are subjective.
Good Morning! You are in my backyard! Im out the south gate. I’m so glad you had a great time. You two are troopers!
Its an amazing place! We love it.
Come to NC Blue Ridge mountains and you can visit the highest point in the east Mt. Mitchel. Beautiful traveling on the Blur Ridge parkway through several states.
That's like sitting on the top of Old Baldy Mountain (12,441 ft.) Philmont Scout Reservation, Cimmaron NM
Welcome to my world! Mountains of the west ThomyT
You guys did great !! So beautiful, I really need to get back there 🥰Safe Travels guys 💙
What a view....
Great job 😁💪💪💪💪👍🏻
Phil have you ever tried trekking poles to assist with that knee. It really helps me with my knee issues
Fun life.🌸
Great video 😁
Thank you for sharing as usual. I was thinking that going down the steeper way is harder on the knee? I just know that down was worse for me... just had both the knees replaced this year so interested to see how much better they will be! How do they rate these hikes? I vote for a 6 or 7 on this! Lol
So beautiful
Wow! That was a very steep hike! But the view from the top! Spectacular. How was Phil’s knee after the slip?
Phil, you might think about getting trekking poles for stability and help take some pressure off your knees. I got a pair and it has helped me a lot. Really enjoy you guys and always look forward to your travels. Keep up the good work.
I second this suggestion…I have a pair with built in shock absorption and they really do reduce the shock on your knees, especially going downhill.
I third this suggestion! We recently got poles and it makes such a difference, especially going downhill.
Hey guys, loved this video. Say, what app are you using to determine altitude?
When were you here? The road was closed when we were in Yosemite in November. I first climbed Lembert Dome with my Dad when I was 10
To high to breathe up there Phil! I thought Denver was to high 52 years ago! You and Stacy need to take time to rest as you enjoy your mobile years of retirement!
Beautiful!
I always feel NPS measures a trail by as the crow flies not actual distance. Yosemite is a special place.
👋🏻Florida ☀️🌴🇺🇸🎄
Yay for proper shoes, but...... What about a knee brace for Phil? 🙃. I see the tape but I'd think a brace would be better.
I am curious as to the time you did this hike. I know you said you uploaded videos late. I am just thinking I do not want to get caught in any snow if i can help it. 😂🤣😂❄☃⛄
Gr8 stuff🌝
I used to live in Colorado springs and I also lived in Wyoming I never saw a trail going through a road that was weird
Hi Phil, sounds like needing knee replacement. I had Mine replaced in march and I wish I had done it Sonner I waited 6years I'm sure y'all know what's involved in the recovery but if it's possible to consider getting it done and not sure because you guys' full time RV wish y'all well.
What brand of hiking shoes do you both wear and how well did they perform on that type of hike? Thank you
Thanks for sharing! Gorgeous 😍
Thanks for watching!
Have you ever encountered a bear?? Do you carry bear spray?
I have both knees with no meniscus. Going up isn't too bad though my weight hampers me. It is going down a hill that hurts. That bone on bone is no joke. It is a lot of ibuprofen after that hike.
Have you ever used hiking poles? Tami and I wouldn't hike without them. Pooh Pooh them before I used them in Acadia.
Phil, what app are you using on your phone for Elevation?
See the Sign "Before you go" no flip flops ;-) shoes and trekking poles
What app are you using for elevation ?
Going down steep hills is harder on the legs than going uphill and I don't think anybody ever died falling uphill.
At least you had a plethora of things to do and great weather waiting for the Jeep to get fixed. You could have had the window pulled out by a car burglar in Vegas. Yeah there are things to do but at 115 degrees?
WHAT??!! No Army v Navy game comments? Well let me be the first. . . . Go Air Force!!! wink wink. . . MSgt, Ret., USAF
What’s the best way to find community when you are constantly moving from location to location?
Not talking up the Army Navy game this year ??? I have it on now tie score
