Amazing videography on your 2000' elevation gain hike. Colorado is an amazing place. The beauty there is hard to explain to people that have never been there. We were there early July and camped just outside of Silverton along the Mineral creek. Thanks for the amazing video.
Right on, we were there pretty much the same time. Alpine lakes and high tundra have always drawn my attention. I love this type of landscape. Thank you for your kind words!
Absolutely beautiful. Enjoyed the hike and flowers so much. That pose of Roodle on the snow, as you were hiking, should be framed. He looked so handsome 🌻
I really enjoy all of your videos but this one is exceptional! The drone footage, videography and stills are awesome! You guys make us viewers feel like we are there too. Thank you!
Hey guys! Wow! What an adventure....those views were stunning! The hike up to the lake and the off roading both looked amazing! Loved the drone shots and the flowers. Colorado looks so beautiful!
Congrats to the girls on this one. Maria and Carrie killed it on the hike! Beautiful stunning fields of flowers…and that lake!!! Roodle was a good boy! 🐶 enjoyed the entire video, take care! ☀️🚐⛰😎
The place was heavenly. Such beautiful views and the sound of water flowing must be crazy beautiful and to have your friends with you! What more can one ask for. Thanks for sharing it with us.
That's the name of the yellow flowers! I could not remember. It is fun to get this second spring up here. I love the high altitude wildflowers, they are so vibrant! 😀
Wow! What a beautiful hideaway! This is why I love your channel! You will have a hard time finding this kind of content anywhere else! Love love love❤️! Safe my friends!
I love the views! Thank you for bringing us along! I wish I could go places like this… I hate that while watching I often have tears because I’ll never get to go 🙏🏽❤️
QueenB ,I am blessed to get to travel our wonderful west but I enjoy promoting One Advanture At A Time as much as I can. I think enjoying Dave , Carrie , and Roodle"s adventures are captured with such talented photography and drone work that in some ways it is almost like being there.
OMG! Just absolutely incredible! The drone footage just blew me away! Happy to see someone from Massachusetts enjoying such a great time with you. I am Massachusetts born and raised. Absolutely gorgeous wildflowers and mountain view's and omg, that lake! Breathtaking! Roodle is so cute! Phenomenal video! 👍👍👍👍👍😁
Thank you, Marilyn! High altitude wildflowers are so vivid! We miss Ed and Maria already, we have been waiting for them to hit the road for nearly 2 years. 😀
Fantastic video guys. I enjoyed every minute. I have something to look forward to every Saturday morning and am motivated to get up and prepare for travelling. Thank you so much. I ordered my tee shirt . I want to get more people watching you and turning off the news like I did. Be safe and cannot wait until next week.Great drone work Dave.
Thank you so much for your support!! By-The-Way... thank you for the boondocking location at silverjack reservoir....it was amazing and the video will be out on Saturday August 7th.
Thanks for the shout out 😊. I was in that area for a few days in 2003 in a 85 Scrambler. That area of Colorado and the scenery on the Rubicon trail are 2 of 4 most beautiful places I have ever seen. I hope you rent a jeep and drive Black Bear Pass to Telluride and Imogene Pass back to the top. A drive you will never forget. The drone footage is amazing and the still photography 👌. My envy level just went up another notch. I am impressed with the Promaster living up to its Ram/mountain goat 🐐 heritage. Always a thumbs up 👍
We passed right by the turnoff to Black Bear Pass! We are not financially set enough to rent a Jeep yet but I wanted to! I have watched many videos on the Rubicon trail. I regret not doing it back when we lived in CA. Maybe someday we can meet up with you and do a trail. I hope your still going to be towing a Jeep behind your rig. 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime I will definitely be towing a jeep and I will always have a seat open for Dave, sorry I only have two seats or everyone would have a seat. We can run the Rubicon and Black Bear Pass, I'm retired 😁. They just added another 300 acres to the Rubicon trail area or an additional 4 miles of trails. When I ran the Rubicon in 2003 a lot of it was through part of the river. They have changed the route so I can't wait to run the new route. The scenery on the Rubicon is seldom mentioned but it's one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
Wow you guys ALWAYS deliver the scenery!! I love that area of Co. The Million Dollar highway will give you some thrills for sure, I wouldn’t do it on a windy day 😉. Your filming & photography are just amazing as always. I love the music you choose, soothing and peaceful like the beauty you are showing us. Thanks for the enjoyment. God Bless your continued travels
We ended up overheating our breaks on the million-dollar highway and had to let them cool off to continue 😂Wow! Nearly no guard rails and the edge of the road goes straight down! There is also an old gold mine that has a shaft over 100 miles long. We are loving this area. Thank you for all of your kindness!! We appreciate you. 😀
Hope brakes are ok! I went across in the winter in my high top conversion passenger van, (not as heavy as yours), snow covered the mountains, it was gorgeous! Road was clear as I began but wind came from nowhere and it started snowing about 10-15 min later, as you saw there is nowhere
Opps, road was clear as I left but wind and snow started about 15 minutes in, as y’all saw there was nowhere to turn around or stop! Undoubtedly the scariest, and most beautiful drive of my life. I didn’t know about the gold mine, will have to ck it out. Thanks again for your wonderful videos. God Bless
That is one of our favorites of yours! Beautiful. We gotta go there once the border opens and we camperize our own van. You do the best photography/videos/music on youtube. cheers!
We've been camping off grid in Northern Idaho....so, I'm just now seeing this. Absolutely loved this video. I probably say this all the time (you guys do such excellent videos), but this is one of my favorites so far!
Awesome! Can't wait to see you guys again and hear about all your adventures! We have to check into the beat harvest on the 21 of September. I hope you guys make it out hear long before that. I keep thinking about all the fun we had together in Pinedale, Wyoming last year at this time.
While in the area you have to to Lake City, Co not far from Silverton. Go from Lake City to Engineers Pass. Along the way you encounter the largest NA alpine tundra. Magnificent have fun
The Alpine Loop is a great day trip. I took it from Silverton, over Engineer Pass, down to Lake City, back over Cinnamon Pass, then back to where we were staying in Silverton. A must. Hurricane Pass, California Gulch, and Corkscrew Gulch are also nice rides while in that area. Don't miss Stoney Pass either.
Our friends Ed and Maria had just done Engineer pass and advised us not to try. They did the alpine loop and loved it! I would have definitely gone with you in your 90 astro van back in the day! 😎
Yes, your Jeep will do fantastic here! Once you get on the back roads there are nearly no people and amazing scenery every direction. I love the high country, we even got a second spring with all of the flowers 🌸 🌺
The scenery is fine but let’s face it climbing the road to the camp was actually inspiring. I fear my wife will blame you when we get stuck. It will be worth it.
😂 Yes, we keep pushing our van to its limits. Make sure you carry traction boards with you and take it nice and slow.....Carrie plays a huge part in directing my tires to the best locations.
@@oneadVANtureatatime Extremely fun. The upper part has a kayak course. But the lower part they wanted the stream to have more sound. So it's like mini white water rafting just in a inner tube. Plus the stores and restaurants are amazing. A real joy to have lived there in the early 90's. PS if you try it buy a real inner tube from a tire shop. 🙂 Mark (& Teresa)
I live in Colorado near Pikes Peak. The San Juans are my favorite place to camp and hike. Glad to hear you went to Leadville area. Beautiful and plenty of boondocking. If your travels take you to the Pikes Peak area, you can hit me up for water, laundry and showers...if I’m not gone camping myself!
Thank you so much! Pikes Peak is definitely on my list........but I dont think we are going to make it the trip. Our travels keep taking us north. WE will be back because there is still a ton to explore in colorado!!!
I swear if you just showed people this vid or pics without explanation & asked them where it was. I bet many would guess Swiss Alps, Ireland, maybe even Austria. Breathtaking, very appreciative I live in this country. Thanks guys for sharing!🌻🌲🗻
I suggested a few possibilities of places to visit on your last video. One place that I forgot to mention is the Curecanti National Recreation Area. I'm not sure about the boondocking possibilities, but I'd be really surprised if there weren't any nearby. Enjoy Colorado. I'm not going to get to visit this year, so I'm living vicariously through y'all!!! 😍😁
We drove right through there.We were planning to stop and check it out but it was smoking hot! We headed to higher elevation near Leadville. Thank you for the tip! We will add it to the list for next visit. 😎
Heavens to Betsy Earl, that there road weren't fit fer a mule🤢!!! Glad y'all made up okay. And what a view, well worth it😁..... Enjoy, always enjoy your travels💖💖
One of your best videos yet. So beautiful! We are planning a trip to this area the first week in September..and it was awesome to get some ideas from you guys! Another place you might want to visit in Colorado -Mesa verde national park. Safe travels!
The fellow with the Jeep seemed really cool. And well done to you and Maria. That was an amazing and challenging hike, for anyone. Loved that shot of The Rood on the snow at the lake. Ever think about getting those walking sticks, Carrie? They could be handy (yuk yuk) on many levels. Slow, steady, and sensical wins the race. Great job gals, Rood! Love your drone footage, Dave. @one adVANture at a time
I have had walking stick in the past and loved them. I carry so much camera gear now that I cant imagine having one other item to hold. I think they make walking sticks with camera mounts on them now..... I think I will go check that out on amazon. Roodle is so photogenic and Dave has really gotten good at flying his drone.
You folks sure put together a good video! Y'all have some skils. Maybe we'll cross paths down the road. My child bride & I are going full time and we're bringing a couple of horses. You are visiting places we want to see. P.S. My child bride is 67 now.
That be fun to meet you on the road! We just camped at a beautiful location that was popular for horse riding. Just outside of Montrose, CO. Near Silver Jack Reservoir. Absolutely beautiful at 9000 feet elevation and any rig can get there. Camping is of course free. 😀
Bravo... je suis flabergasted... j`ai eu l`impression d`être sur la West Highland Way en Écosse, quelques fois en Italie ou en France et les fleurs... oh la la. Personnellement, le plus spectaculaire vidéo que vous ayez tourné. Merci, merci, et encore merci... encore, encore et encore... please...
I'd forgotten how beautiful the hard to get to parts of Colorado can be. I had to travel from Salt Lake City to Omaha once and decided to take the Amtrak. It went through canyons that the roads had been abandoned for decades and the only way in or our was by rail. Great video! (I'm going to have to rewatch when I get home to my editing monitor, the laptop screen isn't doing this one justice at all)
Amtrak ride sounds awesome! We keep talking about taking a scenic train ride. The wildflowers were amazing, I think it would be worth watching again in higher definition. 😎
We camped just outside of Silverton near the end of September & early October of 2019. We explored the area extensively with our Polaris RZR. I came away from that experience with the belief that the San Juan mountains in Colorado is in fact the most beautiful place in this country, perhaps the world.
All I have is…WOW! I’ve never found a tarn I didn’t love. Loved Roodles gratuitous selfies and his romp in the snow. He truly enjoys your travels every bit as mush as you. See you on your next adVANture. Cheers from Canader eh!
I'm assuming you were someone near the western end of Stony Pass. It's a great trail all the way to the east ending in Creede but the van won't make it. If you end up near Creede at some point hit up the start of the trail there that follows along the Rio Grande. Some epic camping spots!
Actually, we did have a problem with our breaks overheating. It sounds like it was caused by moisture in our brake lines. We were overdue on a brake fluid change and the new dot 4 brake fluid can create condensation at high altitudes.
So beautiful looks like the snowpack is gone from colorado mountains as well. With you guys being so high up snow at bare minimums. Just like here in pnw, olympics have no snow. Pretty bad
Stunning scenery, gorgeous flowers, and loved both trips. You always have great content, although from Australia I feel discontented I can't explore it myself.😀
Last year in Wyoming we got a sand beach on a lake in the mountains! It was the best of both 😂 We should do a calendar! I am afraid to mention it as Carrie has been working 6 days a week lately on editing. Keep the ideas coming we appreciate the help. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
Garden of the Gods is a must see near Colorado springs.Ne and my wife went on a month long journey from S.C.out west.Our suv blew an engine and we had to leave our mini camper in Buena Vista,CO and tow our suv to a dealership in Colorado springs.This being said after we got a rental the first place we stopped was Garden of the Gods and it'd spectacular. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures with us and sometime in the near future I'm headed back to Colorado to get our SUV and mini camper.Great video and ya'll be safe
Sorry to hear about your breakdown. We just passed through Buena Vista 2 days ago on our way to Leadville.Thank you for the tip on Garden of the Gods. This is already on Carrie's radar! 😀😀😀
This is such a BEAUTIFUL AREA!! We highly suggest a high clearance vehicle or 4X4..... and some off-roading experience. The coordinates are 37.9407501, -107.5733487. Happy Travels.
Beautiful video ! Question ? How tall is your van with all the stuff on your roof? I want to add solar and a roof vent to my 2019 promaster and still be under 9' to be able to use an occasional drive thru.. thanks !
Warning ⚠️ please be prepared if you go to this spot! You will need a high clearance vehicle 🚗 and 4X4 is recommended! Some off-road driving knowledge will also. Be helpful!!!! If you get stuck up there it will be REALLY expensive to get towed out! If you have the above skills …. It is fun and amazing!!!! Here are the coordinates (37.9175975, -107.5582632). Please be safe!
The views were enhanced by your great music selections. Thank you so much for a fun AND relaxing adventure!
Thank you, Victoria! Someone said it was funeral music 😕 We appreciate your feedback. 😀

We got to see spring twice this year! What a great year for the wildflowers. 😀
Absolutely beautiful. Enjoyed the hike and flowers so much.
That pose of Roodle on the snow, as you were hiking, should be framed. He looked so handsome 🌻
Glad you enjoyed it! Roodle is so photogenic and he LOVES snow!!!
Wow what an awesome video. Carrie the photos were incredible. HAPPY TRAILS
I really enjoy all of your videos but this one is exceptional! The drone footage, videography and stills are awesome! You guys make us viewers feel like we are there too. Thank you!
Thank you! We hit the wildflowers just right. We appreciate your kindness and look forward to sharing more of these amazing Rocky mountains. 😀
Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
Hey guys! Wow! What an adventure....those views were stunning! The hike up to the lake and the off roading both looked amazing! Loved the drone shots and the flowers. Colorado looks so beautiful!
Wild flowers are beautiful. Colorado is awesome.
Congrats to the girls on this one. Maria and Carrie killed it on the hike! Beautiful stunning fields of flowers…and that lake!!! Roodle was a good boy! 🐶 enjoyed the entire video, take care! ☀️🚐⛰😎
They really did earn their views of the wildflowers and alpine lake. Meanwhile Ed and I cheated a bit and drove to our flowers and lakes. 😂😂😂
Stunning photography blended with beautiful music 👍
Thank you! 😎
Thanks to your wonderful videos, I get to experience the beauty of this World that is beyond my reach ❤
Our pleasure. Thank you for your kindness. Our goal is to make you feel like you are here. 😀
The place was heavenly. Such beautiful views and the sound of water flowing must be crazy beautiful and to have your friends with you! What more can one ask for. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I know right! It just doesn't get much better. We are having a grand time. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾 Thank you very much for your support.
Colorado is definitely among the top five states in beauty
Absolutely epic!! Love the columbine, buttercups, paintbrush!!
That's the name of the yellow flowers! I could not remember. It is fun to get this second spring up here. I love the high altitude wildflowers, they are so vibrant! 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime absolutely! So good for the heart to see them and watch the bees!!

I was in that area for a few days in 2003 in a 85 Scrambler. That area of Colorado and the scenery on the Rubicon trail are 2 of 4 most beautiful places I have ever seen. I hope you rent a jeep and drive Black Bear Pass to Telluride and Imogene Pass back to the top. A drive you will never forget.

My envy level just went up another notch. I am impressed with the Promaster living up to its Ram/mountain goat 🐐 heritage.

My goodness you two must of slept good that night. One of the best Soo cool.
We did sleep well especially Carrie and Roodle! 😂 Ed and I cheated a bit and drove to our destinations. 😎
Beautiful spot. That Rubicon Jeep made easy work of the roads. Again, I want a 4wd van 😂
Same! Lol Yes that route was of little challenge for front and rear lockers. 😀
Fabulous!
Gorgeous!
Wow. Just spectacular.
Awesome views of the water falls with drone 👍👍
That is one of our favorites of yours! Beautiful. We gotta go there once the border opens and we camperize our own van. You do the best photography/videos/music on youtube. cheers!
Thank you so much, Pete! Please ask any questions you want while building your van. We will try and help if we can. 😎
Beautiful flowers. Wow
Some locals are saying it's the best wildflower year in a decade! It's awesome! Not to mention all the edible mushrooms we have been finding.
@@oneadVANtureatatime lol you can have all the mushrooms. Do you ever try to dig up small flowers for your home
That little lake/body of water ---- such a beautiful sight! Love all the wildflowers! Thank you!
We have been spoiled with 2 springs this year and the wildflowers have been amazing .😎
Welcome to Colorado. Semper Paratus. It's beautiful down there. Done a few motorcycle trips that direction.
Thank you! That must be a fun ride, we have seen quite a few motorcycles especially on the million-dollar highway. 😀
Awesome video.
Thanks!
I see 4 wheel drive in your future. Beautiful footage. Lovely
Maybe someday 😀
@ 3:02 Carrie, You are a damn good co-pilot.
Thank you! Carrie actually drove the Promaster all the way up and back. I just did that little last section. 😂 Off-roading is in our blood. 😀
We've been camping off grid in Northern Idaho....so, I'm just now seeing this. Absolutely loved this video. I probably say this all the time (you guys do such excellent videos), but this is one of my favorites so far!
Thank you, Cheri! We have family that just moved out of Sand Point. We love Idaho, especially the area around Stanley..off season of course 😎
wow, just wow
Hey guys, we’re on our way! 😊
No seriously! We’ll be there in a few short weeks!
Love you guys and awesome video!!!

I hope Dave does not try to go over Engineer Pass in Stormtrooper. No chance.Lake is great but might be better to go north from Creede.
@@Volunteersunrise I went over it in a 1990 Chev Astro back in the 90s. Fun
The Alpine Loop is a great day trip. I took it from Silverton, over Engineer Pass, down to Lake City, back over Cinnamon Pass, then back to where we were staying in Silverton. A must. Hurricane Pass, California Gulch, and Corkscrew Gulch are also nice rides while in that area. Don't miss Stoney Pass either.

Yes, your Jeep will do fantastic here! Once you get on the back roads there are nearly no people and amazing scenery every direction. I love the high country, we even got a second spring with all of the flowers 🌸 🌺
beautiful ! great job on the camera
Just WOW 😮 amazing drone footage! Thanks for sharing
So glad you liked it.... this is one our all time favorite locations!!!
The scenery is fine but let’s face it climbing the road to the camp was actually inspiring. I fear my wife will blame you when we get stuck. It will be worth it.
😂 Yes, we keep pushing our van to its limits. Make sure you carry traction boards with you and take it nice and slow.....Carrie plays a huge part in directing my tires to the best locations.
WOW! This is the most beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Thank you! 😎
Thank you that was fun.. Tubing down Boulder Creek a must!
~Mark & Teresa
That does sound like fun!
@@oneadVANtureatatime Extremely fun. The upper part has a kayak course. But the lower part they wanted the stream to have more sound. So it's like mini white water rafting just in a inner tube. Plus the stores and restaurants are amazing. A real joy to have lived there in the early 90's.

I'd forgotten how beautiful the hard to get to parts of Colorado can be. I had to travel from Salt Lake City to Omaha once and decided to take the Amtrak. It went through canyons that the roads had been abandoned for decades and the only way in or our was by rail. Great video! (I'm going to have to rewatch when I get home to my editing monitor, the laptop screen isn't doing this one justice at all)
Amtrak ride sounds awesome! We keep talking about taking a scenic train ride. The wildflowers were amazing, I think it would be worth watching again in higher definition. 😎
We camped just outside of Silverton near the end of September & early October of 2019. We explored the area extensively with our Polaris RZR. I came away from that experience with the belief that the San Juan mountains in Colorado is in fact the most beautiful place in this country, perhaps the world.
Awesome way to explore! They closed the road to Ice and clear lake this year. I wonder if you got to see that area and how it was. 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime it was beautiful. That whole area is my Happy Place"
The photography is breathtaking & the drone shots are spectacular. LOL love your furry friends hair cut 🤗 Looks like Gods' country 🦅👁️🧐💕
Thank you! Roodle had a lion haircut last year.
All I have is…WOW! I’ve never found a tarn I didn’t love. Loved Roodles gratuitous selfies and his romp in the snow. He truly enjoys your travels every bit as mush as you. See you on your next adVANture. Cheers from Canader eh!
Thank you, Susan! Any time Roodles feet hit the snow, mud, or sand he goes crazy! It makes me think I need to go barefoot more often 😂😂😂
Awesome views, thanks…. Also appreciate the instrumental music instead of vocals distracting from the views👍👍
Thank you! That's definitely what we want to do..show off the scenery and not our faces. 😂 We appreciate your kind feedback.
I'm assuming you were someone near the western end of Stony Pass. It's a great trail all the way to the east ending in Creede but the van won't make it. If you end up near Creede at some point hit up the start of the trail there that follows along the Rio Grande. Some epic camping spots!
Another great AdVANture guys! Beautifully scripted. Did your van have any trouble with the altitude?
Actually, we did have a problem with our breaks overheating. It sounds like it was caused by moisture in our brake lines. We were overdue on a brake fluid change and the new dot 4 brake fluid can create condensation at high altitudes.
So beautiful looks like the snowpack is gone from colorado mountains as well. With you guys being so high up snow at bare minimums. Just like here in pnw, olympics have no snow. Pretty bad
Very true. Even the 14,000 feet tall mountains only have a few patches left of snow right now.
Stunning scenery, gorgeous flowers, and loved both trips. You always have great content, although from Australia I feel discontented I can't explore it myself.😀
Thank you very much! We would love to visit Australia one day!!
Wow
Just amazing!!
Please can you share the music you used starting at 11:50 point
When the drone is flying. I never felt so calm and just love it.
Looks like you & Roodle are in heaven.
Wow. I love the mountains. This is why I prefer mountains to beaches.
Have u guys considered making a calender?
Last year in Wyoming we got a sand beach on a lake in the mountains! It was the best of both 😂 We should do a calendar! I am afraid to mention it as Carrie has been working 6 days a week lately on editing. Keep the ideas coming we appreciate the help. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
What was the little black animal at the top when the jeep stopped?
Garden of the Gods is a must see near Colorado springs.Ne and my wife went on a month long journey from S.C.out west.Our suv blew an engine and we had to leave our mini camper in Buena Vista,CO and tow our suv to a dealership in Colorado springs.This being said after we got a rental the first place we stopped was Garden of the Gods and it'd spectacular. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures with us and sometime in the near future I'm headed back to Colorado to get our SUV and mini camper.Great video and ya'll be safe
Sorry to hear about your breakdown. We just passed through Buena Vista 2 days ago on our way to Leadville.Thank you for the tip on Garden of the Gods. This is already on Carrie's radar! 😀😀😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime our mini camper is sitting behind a local mechanics shop right in town.Its so depressing but it's just life
Love to see vid of Grand Mesa - don't know if 2wd van friendly or not.
I have seen pictures of the Grand Mesa area and it looks amazing!! Not sure if we will hit it this round but it's on the list! 😎😎😎
😎👍🏻
Good episode minus the funeral music..
Have you been to Mesa Verde, Leadville, Grand junction.
We are currently near Leadville and it's awesome! Thank you for the tips. 😀
Was there cell service?
Is the Ghost Town coming in a Separate Video?
We have some footage of the ghost town saved but it's not the best. Carrie may do a short vid on it but not right away. Sorry, Craig.
Beautiful. What are the coordinates?
This is such a BEAUTIFUL AREA!! We highly suggest a high clearance vehicle or 4X4..... and some off-roading experience. The coordinates are 37.9407501, -107.5733487. Happy Travels.
Beautiful video !
Question ? How tall is your van with all the stuff on your roof? I want to add solar and a roof vent to my 2019 promaster and still be under 9' to be able to use an occasional drive thru.. thanks !
We are 9ft tall without our we boost antenna. 9 feet 6 inches with it.
Hi guys, what are the coords to this spot? I want to go!
Warning ⚠️ please be prepared if you go to this spot! You will need a high clearance vehicle 🚗 and 4X4 is recommended! Some off-road driving knowledge will also. Be helpful!!!! If you get stuck up there it will be REALLY expensive to get towed out! If you have the above skills …. It is fun and amazing!!!! Here are the coordinates (37.9175975, -107.5582632). Please be safe!
Love you guys because you're SO CRAZY!!! lol always enjoy your adventures. Add off roading in a Promaster. Love it!!! @sock.monkey.van
We have off-roading in our blood so we cannot resist!
Anyone that would treat a vehicle like that should be stuck on the mountain
Wow what an awesome video. Carrie the photos were incredible. HAPPY TRAILS
Thank you! We hope you're having a good time in Montana. We will never forget our trip with you guys. 😀
beautiful
Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
Thank you, David 😀
