- Although it snowed in the Mojave Desert, we didn't need the shovel to leave the campground THIS time so off we went to Tucson. A Harvest Host stop was planned but....this gets sketchy. What to do?
California Highway 95 was a mess and we need a wash. Voyager and Orion are disgusting so it's bath time! We check in to Voyager RV Resort but there are always costs. Be aware of these hidden costs to make your RV travels more enjoyable.
We came out West to enjoy a nice warm winter season and to experience some Rare Events. Although the winter weather has been up and down with temps in the 70's to down in the 40's we have enjoyed every minute of our RV Lifestyle. Our Western part of the trip is nearly finished but we have seen and enjoyed some epic adventures.
We are not Snow Birds but we do like nice warm weather and heading west was the answer this winter.
Come join our Facebook Group, Big Truck Big Travels to get more details on our travels such as Alaska itinerary, annual costs and such.

RV Camping
We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.
We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to TH-cam channels Suite Travels, Switch it Up and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks and believe it or not, I actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well.
Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in our discovery of What's Next.

We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.
The big blue boards (XL version) we use sometimes to get us "un-stuck" is from:

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.
Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.
Vehicles:
2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
2019 SpaceCraft Custom built semi-trailer 5th wheel "Orion"
2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"
Power system:
3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
2- 4K watt 240v Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our LG Mini split HVAC and stove
Coachnet is our roadside assistance company we use but hopefully we don't use them too often. LOL
We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.

Wow, I didn't think it was possible, but every video you do, gets just a little better than the last! THANK YOU for sharing your lives with us!😎👍
You are so welcome! And we really appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching the channel and being a part of the journey.
I'm so old that I remember dancing to "At The Car-Wash" in the disco's back in the late '70's. Isn't it an amazing coincidence that they happen to be fans of WhatABurger?
You're not that old!
😆 🤣 definitely not THAT old! Good times!
Thank you for all your hard work creating these videos!! I am living vicariously through you guys, and I am loving every minute!!
We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey. Thanks for being a part of the story. Glad you are enjoying them.
Another great video, with a beautiful, fascinating landscape . We always get a chuckle on how you and Sandra get straight to the point with sharp, witted puns. My husband and I started watching the channel during your Alaska travel adventures of 2023. We live in West Central Alberta, Canada.
We look forward to future videos.
🇨🇦 👏
Thank you. The puns sort of just happen. Used to do that all the time with our daughter... she misses them. 😆 🤣
Amigos, You have no idea how many different RV'S channels I have visited and yours is truly the best, I congratulate you for being who you are, I have a lot of fun and I learn from you, thank you
Wow, thank you! We really appreciate your comments.
Lot of "DAD" jokes in that one!!! 😂😂
Made up for deficit from last couple weeks😁
Oh yeah! On a roll!
Yay - another awesome video! And more subscribers! Whataburger a favorite of mine - was introduced to them when working in Corpus Christi. Keep the puns coming! Take good care, safe travels, and thanks so much for sharing the adventures.
Oh wow! Thanks. Can't believe the subscriber growth. Whataburger in Corpus Christi is where it all began.
Awesome wildlife photos. I love how you captured the big birds soaring ❤️ amazing!! Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Its beautiful in the desert. I never knew such gorgeous plants & flowers. Animals too.
So nice of you to mention that. A lot of people don't realize how alive a desert really is. Thanks
You are "sharp" today! Love your humor. Big Truck Big Travels is my favorite channel. Thank you. The Desert Museum reminds me of Disney's "Living Desert" from the 50's.
We were dancing on a thin line between funny...and dumb! 😆 🤣 Glad we didn't cross over! That's cool about the reference to Disney. Thank you for watching the channel.
That was tight spot in the RV resort. Beautiful desert landscape. How convenient that your Arizona friends „preferred“ the Whataburger place 😉. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome, thanks for watching. 😆 🤣 hmmm... that was very convenient, wasn't it?!? 🤔😉😇😁
I couldn't stand a week in that RV park, a parking lot for RVs. Thanks for all your videos. I don't comment often, but I DO appreciate your channel :)
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it. It was tight for sure.
100% agree... "Camping" today in RV RESORTS ( NOTHING more than HUGE organized Parking Lots ) NUTZ to BUTTZ. NO Trees, and very little Grass. That's NOT CAMPING. I worked for 7 years in an actual San Diego County Parks CAMPGROUND while the wife worked in a local KOA "Campground". I KNOW "CAMPING" !!!
lovely views and animals too. Stay safe and have FUN ... smiles from the North OK Valley
You should be getting close to spring in the OK Valley. Love the views and the lake area, it was a lot of fun spending the day there. 😊 thanks
Hi guys!! What a fun adventure you shared this week. Can't wait to hear what's happening next!! Loved the mountain lion shot. 🥰 Safe travels...💜
Thank you. Love that shot. His paws are soooo big! Very majestic looking.
Thank you for sharing Like the zoo and bird video and pictures Be safe and safe travels
Thank you for watching the channel. We enjoy sharing our experiences with everyone. Glad you enjoyed it.
We hit the like button 😊as always… always enjoy watching you guys
Awesome! Thank you! We really appreciate your comments and your time watching the channel. 😃
Beautiful. Thank you both for the adventure
Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃
Thank you for this amazing video.👍🏻
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.
I worked at Voyager RV Resort for 19 years. Don, your escort in the cowboy hat, is a good friend of mine. Was nice to see your shots of Voyager and also the Sonoran Desert Museum. We like to take our guests/visitors there, but not in the summer. Way too hot. Have been following you two for a couple of years now and enjoy your content. Live in Vail, Az now and am fully retired. We full-timed for 9 years in a 5th wheel, although not as big as yours. We did tour the SpaceCraft factory years ago. Loved it. Safe travels...
Thanks. We really enjoy Voyager, just wish we had a roomier site but they did fit us in the park so it was great. Voyager was great during covid, offering us a monthly deal for April to give us a place to stay. Don's a nice guy and knew we'd fit since he used to drive truck. Museum is wonderful but definitely not in the summer! Aloha
I did part of that museum in July. It definitely was hot! Got a wee bit dehydrated too, but found a pop machine so was good. This Canadian was soaking up some vitamin D! Loved the area, I was the one of the few walking around outside. I also had my driver’s window open with the AC blowing.
Congratulations on breaking 40kin subscribers. I really enjoy the interactions that you and Dave have. Very fun to watch. Enjoy the eclipse.
Thanks 👍It's amazing to have that many Friends of the Channel. We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.
Great video thank you!! Excited to see what's coming up. Hope everything works out with your plans.... so we can come along too ❤
Us too! It should be fun...we hope!
You guys do such a great job! I watch a lot of RV couples on TH-cam, but this channel is the winner. Your love for each other, life, and travel is the difference. Safe travel.
Wow, thank you! Really appreciate the comments and your time watching the channel. 😃
Ok, I subscribed, You beat me down 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love you two, it's peaceful just watching all the landscapes and cool places. Safe travels, God Bless you 💕🙏
Awesome! Thank you! And...it's about time! 🤣😂😎Glad you're along on the journey.
Your wildlife photography is second to none. We love it!
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it.
My wife and I have been following your channel closely for the last couple years, because we are Followell's. Love your channel, and I really enjoy the humor that I hear on it. I'd like to say if you're ever in the Kansas City, MO area, I'd be honored to treat y'all to some Whataburger. I'm a pretty big Whataburger fan myself. Keep up the good work. God bless and safe travels
Wow, thank you! Really appreciate the comments. Love to take you up on that Whataburger treat someday!
I was supposed to get up and do some work but I 'stuck' around and watched the rest of the vlog... 😂
😆 🤣 😂 that's good. I may steal that one from you!
Loved the wildlife photos and videos. The museum was a great place that I will need to put on my list. The only thing better than Sondra’s photos and David’s videos of flora and fauna would be if I were there with you and taking photos of my own. As always I enjoyed your vlog. How could anyone not love the two of you. You are so genuine and down to earth. Love Sondra’s eye rolls. BTW - I don’t do scrapbook stores but have found a quilt shop or two! See you next week.
That would be fun, Christy. Sondra wants to start a quilt project in the future with some "memorabilia" but we need a few more. Neat area and a beautiful day. Thank you so very much for the kind comments and your time watching the channel. 😃
Your photo efforts paid off!! What great shots!
Soy milk also lasts quite a while. Can't wait for the next "adventure"! 🤗❤️
Thank you. Sondra tries hard to get good shots.
First time commenting on your trips, I’m a 84 year old former small unit camper with kids, 60 years ago! Home in Florida for 25 years and now a widow! My husband and I took 3 trips around old USA starting in Florida heading to I 10 west to CA to N to Washington then east towards Maine and down back to FL! Always staying in hotels or motels usually a month long trip always non interstate roads! Many memories, I love watching you drive that very big rig!
Hey, Martha, welcome aboard and buckle up! We're always on the road to somewhere. Those trips with the hubby sound neat with great memories. We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Thank you for all the fun videos. I feel like I’m traveling along with you guys. Waiting on our next trip. Safe travels.
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it.
Those photos are beautiful!! Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thank you
I am enjoying your videos immensely as a retired photographer and much smaller camper (22' Airstream). I particularly enjoy your humor, camping coverage, tips and excellent photography of interviews and your walks. The aerials add a nice location touch also. As an aside, I had a neighbor named David, that his voice, laugh and appearance could make him a doppelganger to your David! Keep the travels coming!
Awesome, thank you! That is quite a compliment and we appreciate it.
I absolutely love the idea of choosing to go towards something that makes you a little bit nervous. Something our parent's, parents did all the time, but something most of us do so rarely. It really is the only way to live!
It does make life interesting. Thank you for watching the channel.
@@bigtruckbigtravels As a former A/V creator, I really appreciate all the effort that goes into producing your channel. After living on a boat a few years back, the wife and I are just starting the detailed planning for a few years in a big rig ourselves. Your adventures have been helpful, inspiring and terrifying...a perfect combination! Safe travels.
@@toddwmac thank you. We've thought about the boat route and may hit the water one day. Really appreciate your comments.
I live a few miles down the road from the Desert Museum. I am a member and go there ALL the time. I feel so lucky, but your video was great! I have never even seen the bighorn sheep butting heads and I'm there all the time!
It was so cool that I had to video it. It's a neat facility and the desert was gorgeous. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for posting your travels. My husband & I enjoy your channel. 😃💕
Our pleasure! We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.
What great pictures of the birds of prey. I love those birds. Great video and adventure. Great shot of the big horn sheep as well.
Thanks. It was a great day. So neat to see the raptors up close and the owl.
Arctic you glad you visited the desert? We love Thursdays! 😂
🤣😂 That's good. I love it! It's a very "sharp" observation and gets right to the point!
Your journey is captivating! From navigating varied terrains to finding perfect spots for the night, your RV adventures are truly inspiring. Despite challenges, your positive attitude shines. Excited to see where your next adventure leads! Safe travels!
Thank you. There are challenges in this lifestyle but it is cool to see the different areas in our country.
I enjoy all of your videos. Well done. We have been to many of the places your adventures have taken you.
Thank you very much! Glad you are along on the journey. 😊
Slide toppers are a must have. Would never own an RV without them. Great Video!
We're hoping True Toppers will help.
Love this video and your humor as always
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching the channel.
You guys are hilarious! I love to follow you wherever you go. I still don’t know how David drives that rig!
Thank you. 😆 We get in with a hope and a prayer and somehow it all works out! 😆 🤣
I’m amazed that you can climb on top and crawl underneath, hike up and down hills, not to mention bike trails.
😆 🤣 we're kind of everywhere and all around! Keeps us young! Thanks for watching the channel. Hope you enjoy the journey with us.
Boxed milk from Dollar Tree - lasts a long time on the shelf. No more worrying about milk expiring or running out. Good as a back-up, too.
I keep powdered milk because we do not use it on a regular basis. I have it on hand for recipes.
Parmalat or Ultra High Temperature (UHT) milk. It is heated at higher temperatures than regular pasteurized milk. This way Parmalat milk stays fresh longer and doesn't need to be refrigerated until opened. Dollar Tree has pints of they carry, it works well in the RV. I use it for soups, sauces and coffee.
Boxed milk, yuck, maybe you can use it with fake beef 🤣🤣
The boxed milk is not bad at all. Never run out. Hope to see you guys in our 1 Million Mile road Trip. Love HARVEST HOST!!
That's funny because that is where we bought it for Alaska. Saved our bacon a few times in the wilderness when we were days from a store...or civilization! We may have to keep some on hand in the lower 48. Thanks
Afternoon guy's another great video and some lovely animals and blue sky the weather not good here plenty of rain just relaxing after gardening we love the otters you make us laugh thanks 😂
Glad you enjoyed it, how is the garden doing? Hope it's a bountiful year.
hi guys , great set up. Always check your hood and deer guard. Great job & channel. 🎉
Thanks 👍Appreciate the comments. We always check it afterwards. You just never know...
So special! Thank you!
You are so kind and you're very welcome. Thanks
Love watching your videos!! It’s a very envious lifestyle, for sure
Thanks so much! We never take it for granted and are very grateful for our lifestyle.
Love your videos and I also love whataburger. That is always my first choice. Safe travels
Good choice! Thanks for watching.
Your photography and videos are done beautifully! I'm not a desert person, but you've shown the beauty of the desert to me. Thank you for taking me with you, I'm excited to see what Mexico brings! Excited for your channel growth as well! Be safe ☀️
Wow, thank you! That's so nice of you to say that and we're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
These shows are more than just videos and still photos. You two are truly cinematographers and archivists. If anybody is curious a thousand years from now what the topography, culture, and humor was during the first few decades of the 21st Century... they will be well advised to check out your channel.
Wow! Thank you so much for the comments. We enjoy sharing our adventure and produce the channel for our memories but we're very humbled by how many choose to watch each week. We're excited to have you along. Thanks
Beautiful desert flowers! Wonderful bird photos! I always enjoy seeing the locations you visit 🤗
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Im jealous. Im in Indianapolis already picked up the semi truck. Heading back to Georgia to have fifthwheel taken off and rv one put on. Almost there. Im so ready. Lol
Oh man! That's exciting! Good luck.
Thank you for another trip with you both .
Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone.
Holy cow, Woman! You have mad skills with that camera! Thanks so much for all your hard work getting those shots!! We love your channel!
Thank you. Sondra loves taking a good picture!
I went into Pichacho and beyond just a month ago! We were staying at Palm Creek, and wow, our sites are HUGE in comparison to the park you're in, but, the pedestal is at the back, which works out for our Class A. Spent 3 months there this winter and had a great time, as always.
Nice. Always great to have a roomy site... especially if you're there for several months.
What a great video with amazing photography. Love the longer versions. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it, Hans. As always, appreciate your support.
@@bigtruckbigtravels This falls probably in the category TMI. With the 6 or 7 hour time difference for the Netherlands you bring me my bedtime story on Thursdays.
@tunamaniak 😆 that's bordering on TMI... just don't tell me what you're wearing...gulp! Lol 😆 😆
@@bigtruckbigtravels 😂I hear you. I respect that this is a family channel.
I am a brand new viewer, you had me hooked at Scrapmania, definitely putting that store on my bucket list. Please go to more scrapbook stores!1
Thanks, Teresa and welcome aboard. Sondra needs no encouragement to visit them! There's another great one on Concordia, MO she loves to visit.
I love those beautiful mountain lions. One of the best looking animals there is and why I so love my kitties.😊❤️🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🐈❤😊 Oh my those Outers are so cute. ❤️❤️
Thank you. The beaver was the only one out swimming though Sondra was hoping to see otters.
You have beautiful photos and videos. I like your personalities. Your channel is one of my favs for watching/learning about RVing. Thanks for taking the time to create the videos and share them.
Thank you so much! Appreciate the comments and your time watching the channel. 😃
I love your photography, such beautiful pictures.
Glad you like them! We'll keep it coming!
"STICKER!" As if her next words were gonna be, "Where are they?" 😂
So true about the desert and survival: when there's little to go around, everyone's gotta fend for themselves and protect themselves from others. Harsh world, indeed. Our future? I pray not.🙏🏾 Safe travels, Sondra and David. See you in a couple weeks, God's willing. Looking forward to my favorite (and David's least favorite) episode - the 2023 Expense Report. ❤
Definitely not my favorite but the desert was very nice and scenic. Everything has a sticker out there!
OMG David, I just saw where they broke ground for a Whataburger in Columbia SC.😁😁😁😁
Oh yeah... we'll wait until it's finished before we visit Congaree National Park! 😆
We enjoy all your videos! Wonderful photography & videos. And yes the Arizona deserts have been beautiful green, this year with all the rain we've had. Enjoy your travels. Thank you both & Minnie & Mickey too.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the comments and your time watching the channel. 😃
Who could possibly watch and not like your channel
I don't know... 😆 🤣 Thanks for your comments. 😊
Really enjoyed the footage of the cactus garden and later the birds living in the cactus. Quite a striking landscape.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching the channel.
We buy Parmalate milk in boxes at Walmart. It's shelf stable and keeps for months. Next time you're in Tucson you might try shopping at Fry's. Great store...better than Walmart.. Fantastic sushi made on the spot as well. I love your photos!
We had that in Alaska so we may get that down here too. Thanks 😄
You guys are total geeks... and I love it!! Thanks for the puns and laughs.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
A little hint you can freeze your milk or to make it last longer you could mix it half and half with powdered milk.
Thanks. Not crazy about frozen milk... unless it's in the form of ice cream! Mixing with powered is a good option.
I have those river otters in the back of my house. Every year, when I fertilize my garden, they come up into my yard from the creek.
😆 🤣 give us your address and Sondra will be up there in no time!
Hi guys, I love watching your videos, I look forward to your videos every week, One day I will try whatABurger, Don"t think they have one here in CT, You make me laugh went you alway say that you what whataburger, you guys are amazing people. just please safe out there.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much. I'm always "jonesing" for a Whataburger! In a few years, we're going to get up into the Northeast.
Such a dry sense of humour, good job you're not prickly about pointed comments. You didn't know you knew so many desert cactus puns, but now you're stuck on them 😂
😆 🤣 😂 that's very good! With puns like that, we'll let you stick around!
Your video was otterly amazing.
😂🤣🤔😂🤣😁 that is a great comment. Thanks
David, I’m surprised that you didn’t mention that visiting that park was a ‘Prickly’ subject 🤣 The photos were so exceptionally beautiful! What a great eye Sondra! Thanks so very much for sharing your experience! Be safe out there!❤️~Wendy
Good point! 😆 🤣 I missed that one!
Haha…and ANOTHER one!🤣👍🏼
I drove from Quartzsite to Tuscon a couple weeks ago. I was amazed at the lush greens and flowers! I just missed you, darn it! I also spent an entire day at the Desert Musuem! Isn't it an amazing place? Or is that a thorny subject? 😂
Ahhh... so close. The museum was fun. That's a good pun!
OMG will the rig cross over this time?😁 It would be nice for you guys to go over and venture down there🤐. As usual, great video.
Fingers crossed! We want to get down to Mexico and Puerto Penasco.
Sandra your skills with a camera blows me away, you can make a living doing this I would buy your photos just amazing bye from NZ
Thanks, Phil. She loves, loves taking pictures.
Enjoyed all your wildlife pictures...and the laughter. Have safe travels🙏
Glad you enjoyed it, Anna. Thanks for watching.
Thank you David and Sondra for another amazing video, you guys are awesome ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel.
I'm not a big fan of deserts but that Sonora Desert is beautiful. Sondra your photos are a delight and I believe that bird making a home in the tall cactus is from the swallow family. Swallows have always been my favorite bird, having grown up with barn swallows swooping about in the early evenings catching flying insects rising up from the hay fields. They are such masterful flyers! As usual I look forward to next week's video!
Thanks so much, Carol. With all the rain, it has really greened up! The birds were very cool.
cheers! to ruffing it!
Oh yeah! Love the ruff! 😆
The humor got a little 'prickly' there!!!😂
😆 🤣 😂 that's good!
Dang, you're packed in that park like sardines.
😆 🤣 it was tight, my friend. But our neighbors were very nice.
WATER BURGER IS HUGE IN TEXAS !!! GOSH I LOVE IT !! BEAUTIFUL VIDDO I LOVE YOU GUYS !! IM NOW IN FL BE BLESSED BE SAFE !! ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone.
Congratulations on reaching 40K subscribers. 🎉 🥂
Come on 50K!
Thank you!! We can't believe it! 50K is the next milestone. Appreciate you being part of the journey.
Congrats on 40,000. And now I'll take this break to recharge and freshen up for our next adventure. You guys are great. This may sound strange but, this helps me enjoy my retirement too. So, to my favorite couple keep on trucking. Sondra had on her jacket which was normal but, shorts. So was it hot or cold? 😅😅😅😅 Safe travels.
😆 🤣 it was hot AND cold! Thanks. Can't believe we're at 40K!
Hey Chris. I took a NRVTA Solar course and I have some real concerns about your install. You have exposed connections underneath and there is no grommet in the hole where your cables are coming from/to your inverter. Please keep an eye out for wear and tear on those cables. And if the system fails, look at your shunt and BIM first; those should not be exposed to the elements. Best of luck and safe travels. 😊
Ok... not sure who Chris is and why he has no grommets! 😆 😆 Great suggestions on your concern.
@@bigtruckbigtravels My bad. Thank you.
Beautiful photos and videos, especially of the animals. Voyager was where we got locked down during Covid, so we know it well. Everything was closed, but we took a trip to nearby San Xavier Mission and were able to walk around the grounds. We had the place to ourselves, and all the cacti were in bloom. Very beautiful. David is to Whataburger as my husband is to Burger King. Ack!
We were in Voyager during the lockdown as well. I used to eat BK everyday in college during the summer.
I think we missed seeing a Happy Dance the first time you filled up in Arizona after paying California prices.
No kidding. Except we didn't pay California prices. We filled up before we entered and after we exited. Good thing we have 250 gallons of fuel!
This is April 4th And we are just now getting a What a Burger built. We have never had What a Burger.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh... it will be a treat! They are springing up everywhere! Yay!
The date printed on a container of milk is not the expiration date; it's the last day of sale. When kept below 40 degrees, milk is good for two weeks after opening, or two weeks after the printed date, whichever comes first.
Also, Walmart sells milk that is shelf stable (until opened). It's from Parmalat, and it's generally on the shelf in the baking section. It's generally around $3 for a quart box (like an oversized juice box), which is about the price of a quart of milk at a truck stop (if not cheaper), but it'll sit nicely in the cupboard for several months until you need it.
Thank you and good to know. We may use the Parmalat next time. We used it up in Alaska and came in very handy.
Love the Palo Duro sweatshirt!
Great place to camp. Been there twice. So cool!
what an awesome place to explore dessert museum it looks very interesting thank you for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comments.
One time we stood on the bridge at Minneapolis/St. Paul and watched a river otter trying to get upstream with her babies for about 45 minutes. The current was really strong and she had a couple babies on her back but one trying to swim alone kept getting swept back downstream. Thought sure the baby was lost but she finally made it above the bridge and collapsed on the bank to rest.
That is amazing. We saw some in Florida while biking which was very unexpected. Appreciate your comments. Thanks
Hello both of you, thank you for your vidéos. Here a suggestion name for you Drone WALL-E.
😆 🤣 Thanks. That's a good name. We have to decide on one...Appreciate your comments.
Another great video! Glad you got your “fix” David! 😎
Me too! And thank you very much for taking the time to watch the channel.
Great video, can’t wait to see what you two have up your sleeve next!
Thank you. Won't have to wait long!
I love it he says Whataburger and she says scrapbook store.
😆 🤣 each of our favorite places!
You should go to Biosphere in Oracle Arizona near Tucson and also Tombstone south east of Tucson. Both great places.
Thank you. We've been to both and really enjoyed our visits. Neat area. Both are like a sort of time capsule.
Sondra and Dave you guys have a beautiful channel keep on big trucking. You guys are great in the morning with a nice cuppa Joe love you guys talk with you guys from Northern California.
Thanks so much, glad you can stomach us first thing in the morning! Excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
