- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- As our cold weather 2021 trip continues we take you to what has to be one of the cleanest, nicest, best secrets in NC… North Mills River Recreation Area. We’ll also hunt for infamous white squirrels, griddle out a short-order cook worthy breakfast, Griddle Me This an awesome and easy recipe QUESADILLA CHEESEBURGERS and there’s lots of sitting around the solo stove enjoying colder fall evenings.
You asked for more Griddle Me This and more Happy Dances… so we’re happy to oblige. You also asked for more of Owen’s own music in the episodes… so if you watch until the end you’ll hear his song, Time Marches On as we take a look at nature. If you’re our age, and it seems most of you are, then this may quickly become your theme song too. Here’s a link to download it if you’d like: owenpoteat.ban...

Love your happy dance!
Thanks, we hope you are doing a happy dance too.
Thanks for including your song we loved it
Thanks for sharing the Beautiful NC mountains and song 👍
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
Enjoyable viewing and listening too. Happy travels
Glad you like both, it means a lot.
Thanks for showcasing our state so very well.
It good to hear you think we are showcasing our state well that means alot.
Great idea on storing the little green bottles!
You have to use every piece of storage you can find. Thanks for watching.
My mother in law had a different version of the pioneer shower. She'd say wash down a far a possible and wash up as far a possible and let possible go. Then she would laugh. Bless her heart she passed several years ago and and still miss her greatly.
Thanks for sharing your mother in laws version of the pioneer shower, she sounds very special.
Time marches on , really enjoyed the song and how true it is. Nature at its best with squirrel being white. Hey whose holding the nuts ? 😂 cook out is always great . Love the scenery and crackle of the leaves. The walk to the water falls was worth it hearing it run down hitting the rocks . Thank you for sharing this entertaining video with me !!! BS & BK
I was wondering if anyone caught the “holding my nuts” comment… good catch. Thanks so much for following along on our little adventures.
That was fun! Loved the music...thanks for a nice video!
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
Loved this video and Time Marches On! You two are a great couple and Maggy dog is a special Pup.
Happy Tails
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
White squirrels - who knew? Thanks for showing us this very beautiful part of North Carolina.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
Such a wonderful video !!!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful this time of year in the mountains, the white squirrels are pretty cool looking. Look like you guys are really good.
It was beautiful for sure. Thanks so much for watching.
We enjoyed meeting you at Ft. DeSoto campground and we really enjoyed lovin on Maggie while we watched the sunset. She is such a sweetheart. Hopefully we will meet again sometime. Mark and Lucy Barnes PS - loved your song!
It was great meeting you also. We appreciate you watching.
Very beautiful autumn trip, and the food so appetizing that I almost had lunch with you! 😊Thanks! 👍
Thank you, we appreciate you watching.
Great video good job thank you
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
Love it!
Thanks Tim.
Another great video.
Thanks, we appreciate you watching.
There is a place here in west Tennessee that is full of white squirrels. The local school is even called the white squirrels it's a town of about 300 people.
Thanks for the information. We’ll have to do some research on that.
Great video, we really enjoy the background music especially when Owen sings. Griddle me this was on spot. Y’all have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you for your kind comment.
My favorite folks are as southern as grits. Sweet tea, cornbread n collards. Can’t beat that.
That’s good to hear.
Loved the music and the beautiful scenery with the trees being so colorful. Maggie looked so comfy and.cozy laying by you as you watched tv. Oh Owen that cheese burger Quesadilla looked so good I’m going to make that after thanksgiving. Glad you had another griddle me this. Nice trails you all went on and nice to see Maggie liked the one.
That is great you have an air fryer. Thank you fir this video. Hope you have a great week and have a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Thank you Sherri for sharing your comment, it is very much appreciated.
Hi, I enjoy your videos. Those are Albino squirrels. They are protected true out Wisconsin. Waukesha WI. has the most white squirrels of anywhere in WI. AL Schultz
We thought the same thing when we saw them in FL too. We were told what we saw were not albino squirrels because they do not have pink eyes. They're just a white squirrel. We'd love to see albino squirrels too though.
Time marches on, beautiful video!
Thank you, we appreciate you watching.
We bought two of the Pico chairs from your link. Love them!
Thank you. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
Squashing the burgers makes all the juice come out
You are correct. Thanks for watching.
Made me miss North Carolina. We visited the Hendersonville and breviary area for 3 mos a few years back and haven’t stopped missing it since. We’re in a beautiful part of California but North Carolina is in a league of its own. Thanks for sharing.
We think NC is special too but we look forward to visiting California this winter.
Enjoyed the video. Your song could be a hit
Thank you so much, we appreciate your kind comment.
Hey brother, I'm southern as grits too. I'm living in New Mexico but I was born and raised in North Carolina. I really miss it. Cant wait to go back for a visit. Thanks for the video.
Us southern brothers need to stick together. Thanks so much for watching.
Wonderful videos Owen! Your videos are so clear with what appears to be high contrast. If you have shared what your video equipment produces such clarity please share!
Hi Warren… it’s Owen. First, before I answer you know that your comment made an old man smile. Because you see, we keep our shooting and editing very, very simple. You might be surprised with our kit, equipment and process. ALL videos, with the exception of drone and underwater, are shot using 2 iPhone 13 Pro phones. We have other cameras but we’ve learned that our new iPhones shoot in such amazing quality (and we’re not even using the ProRes feature) that it makes it almost too easy. They’re always with us, we always keep them charged and both are setup with the same profiles and date/time so post work such as color correcting and synchronizing clips is a breeze. And like we keep the shooting simple, we keep the editing simple too. Neither of us even owns a computer or laptop anymore. All of our episodes are edited completely on a 12.9 iPad Pro using an app I’ve used for many years called LumaFusion. It’s not as powerful as Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premier but it’s always with me since we travel with the iPads too. And as the years have gone by it’s become more and more powerful. We shoot on our phones at 4k 60fps in HDR and it handles that with a breeze and allows us to upload surround sound audio and HDR video to TH-cam. When we’re on the road we usually upload in 1080p just like we did for this video. When we’re home or have great Wi-Fi or cell coverage we try to upload in 4K. It makes a little difference for those who watch on TVs. Hope this helps. It sure helps me to know that someone actually notices the effort we put in. We live in an amazing time right now and the things we can do with the simple technology available to us is just amazing. Thanks for watching.
Very enjoyable video. I love Owen's song! I will definitely check it out on Bandcamp. Peace & Prayers for you and Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks so much for your kind comment.
I love Brevard! very dog friendly there. You should have looked up "The Pretty Place" its an open chapel overlooking the mountains. Davidson River Campground is pretty great its right beside the river. Nice song you sang.
Thank you for the suggestions, we will put them on our list for next time. They out great.
Oh my goodness this video is beautiful and your song and singing brought me to tears 😭 it's so real its Life! I love it ! It's like its always been here a classic its and absolute gift 🎁 like it should be a hit coverd by every one under the sun. If my band has any gigs I would be honored to sing it🎶🤗
Thank you so much for your kind comment. So glad you liked the song. It means a lot.
I'm glad I've found a channel of someone here on east coast. I've been all over states an to me there is no place any prettier than here in east. I'm from Tennessee an I just like seeing the probably 200 different species of trees. The northern Appalachian is pretty to in summer can't handle the cold. Thanks an enjoy your videos a bunch
We are glad you found us too. And we're glad you can love the state you're in. It's always easy to think something else is prettier. We love this area too.
Another great trip through our wonderful American state parks. I recently watched Smithsonian special on Biltmore (The Birth of U. S. Forestry) and learned that the acreage that created Pisgah National Forest was donated by Edith Vanderbilt. So interesting to learn about the area. I'm wondering about the wood you found for the Solo Stove: I was under impression that one should always use local wood for burning in any state to prevent new forest infestations. It that wood treated without pesticides, or otherwise safe--maybe because your keeping inside Solo rather than pit? Thanks for your wonderful programming, and music!
Well that's a great bit of history information. Thank you for that. Wood that has not been fire treated is discouraged from being taken from area to area. The Piñon wood is heat dried and safe to transport. BTW this is actually a federal national park service campground and area. Thanks for watching and being with us.
Wow, beautiful area to go fall camping, looked like so much fun. Lynn, what did Owen have for lunch cause he was sure full of it LOL. That song at the end, sure fits the bill, nice Owen, time stands still for no one. Really nice video for today, thanks for all your efforts and Happy Thanksgiving. Safe Travels. ❤️🐕
Owen is always full of it 🥴. Thanks so much for your comment it means so much.
The happy dance was appreciated!
Thanks, we appreciate you watching.
Might want to read the nutrition facts on the bread and your flat bread. I thought the same thing.
You may be right, thanks for the heads up.
Someone has been sharpening their editing skills. Good job!
Thanks so much that means a lot.
I actually could smell the bacon cooking on the griddle😋
It’s a good smell!
Happy Thanksgiving
We hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a white squirrel. I’m in GA and y’all have showed me so many places not too far from home.
Glad we are able to share some places that are close to your home too. We’ve done a lot of close trips these last 2 year, and we like traveling like that too.
Amen on not worrying about fashion being older, lol.
Comfort is what it’s about.
Hahaha. League of their Own reference. Lol. Good one, Owen. I’m telling you what, white squirrels, quesadilla burgers and waterfalls? Perfect camping trip, eh?
We agree, it couldn’t get any better. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Squirrels
Cheeseburger Quesadillas
Happy Dance
Waterfalls,
Smiles, Laughter, Tail Wags
Fall colors
Life is great!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
You are so welcome and thank you for watching and commenting.
Gotta try those q burgers! Looking good. Beautiful scenery, we are not that far from you (RDU) area.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I love my Solo stove, in the morning there is hardly any ashes at all
I know and it’s so easy to clean up. We appreciate your comment.
This was a really fun video. Shows you don’t have to travel far to have a good time. AlwYs enjoy your adventures and photography. A suggestion in this video you visited a very interesting little town with small shops. “Time to shop” we all shop in these little towns on our trips maybe you could show us more of the shops and towns on your trips. Thank you for making me smile.
Thank you for your suggestions we will start including the shops. Glad we made you smile.
Y'all are GENIUS! The Quesadilla Cheeseburgers and the music could not be better. We have also seen the white squirrels and chased after them with a camera in Brevard. Happy Tails
We have two white squirrels right in our neighborhood here in Ohio.
It was fun to hunt for the white squirrels, it’s always fun to see something unique.
need some chillie on one of them folds
Chili would be good, we’ll try that next time.
I think I’d like to see you wearing a toboggan on your head this winter, I’ll stick to my toque. Hahahahaha Man that bacon looked great. I think I’d love to camp there one fall. Stay blessed guys.Hi Maggie! Cheers!!!
I guess it’s all about where we grew up. It’s hard to break those habits. Cheer to you my friend!
Looks like you are having a wonderful time. Enjoy! I would like a link to the small white camera you wear on your walking videos. Such a great channel. Safe travels
We love that little camera. Here's a link www.amazon.com/dp/B09G38TMQL?tag=onamzvantrekk-20&linkCode=ssc%20&creativeASIN=B09G38TMQL&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1FPIN268DKCYJ
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle
Thank you for the link. I'm not very electronics savvy and just have stumbled on your response. It is very much appreciated. Looking forward to your next adventures.....
Beautiful song, Owen. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome. We appreciate you watching.
Fall in North Carolina is special, beautiful colors and cool mountain streams....I'm with Owen on not caring too much about fashion. Happy Trails
We both go for comfort before fashion, I guess that comes with age. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for another great trip, Owen, your song was so spot on with how I feel lately, thank you . Keep on keeping on ! 😎🚐
You are so welcome and thank you for watching and for commenting.
Beautiful!🙌. Do you like your fire ring? Would you recommend it?
We love the Solo Stove for these reasons… it’s easy to build a fire and it is pretty much smokeless with the top ring and it’s super easy to clean up afterwards.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle....thank you!!
Such a great video You need to use all your own songs for your videos They are the best. You need to use all your stuff for backup music It will be a big hit
I keep telling Owen the same thing about his music, but it would take a lot more time for him. Hopefully he will listen to everyone’s comment and start doing more with his music, he is very talented.
Great video. Didn’t know Owen wrote the song. Is that Owen singing it?.
Yes it is. And... playing all instruments too 👍
More music PLEASE!!!! Owen you have such a gift. Please share more.
I keep telling Owen the same thing maybe he will listen to everyone else. Thanks for the comment.
Owen, you are imPossible! Keep it up! Such beautiful, peaceful scenery. This video reminded me of what's important in life and I thank You for that. Happy Thanksgiving, Owen, Lynn, & Maggie.
I agree Owen is “impossible”… It is the small things in life that are the most important. We appreciate your comment. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Loved your song, Owen! Beautiful scenery with the trees! Little Maggie, all snuggled with you, was sweet. We have never seen a white squirrel before. Thank you for the tips on the campfire wood and the delicious meal!
Thank you so much for watching this week. We hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
Loved your video and REALLY enjoyed your music! Thank you.
Thank you so much, your comment is very much appreciated.
I always look forward to Sunday night, when I can relax and enjoy kicking back with some VanTrekking. Now this campground is on my bucket list. Great tunes, good eats, and Maggie. Scratch her behind the ears for me, please. Oh and you guys aren’t bad either. 😉😉 “League of Their Own” but the definition is not for family shows…. 🤣😂😂 Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Glad we are part of your Sunday night, it means a lot. You never know when Owen is going to come out with one of his quotes… so are correct the definition is not for family viewing. We always appreciate your comments.
Was that you playing the harmonica? Loved the video
Yes. In the last song. Actually played all he instruments. 👍
Wonderful video! I love that you have incorporated Owen's teriffic music creation.
Thank you, we appreciate you watching.
Yes, I think we all get to a point where comfort trumps style. What a beautiful place to camp. I will be adding it to our list. Yes, time does march on! It seem to be doing double time right now. Stay safe out there.
I agree with the double time… Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Great video as usual, and yes, thanks for getting back to sharing your Blackstone cooking, and the happy dance. Look at this way Owen, we have over 60 years experience perfecting that dance, ha ha! You to have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 😎
I’m not sure Owen has protected the Happy Dance, but it sure make me smile every time. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
That’s a great destination and beautiful area! Loved the waterfall. Gonna try the quesadilla burgers. It was nice to hear you sing again. Happy Tails!
Those burgers are so easy, I think you will really like them. Thanks so much for watching our little travels, we do appreciate it.
Great video, guys. Great song too, Owen. Loved it. Maggie is the picture of contentment in your arms by the fire and then snuggled between the two of you watching TV. When you said you were "southern as grits," you reminded me of a line from a Don Williams song, "𝑰 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒘𝒆'𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒃𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆'𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒃𝒆, 𝑺𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒚𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒆." Now if you'll excuse me, I'm feeling the urge to watch a little Tom Hanks coaching a girls baseball team.
Thanks for making us both smile. Thanks for sharing the Don Williams song, I’m sure Owen is going to use that quote, it sounds just like him. We so appreciate comment. Have a great week and a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Wow what a beautiful nature trails. I’m enjoying your adventures and your cooking too. 🙏🏻🥰
Thanks so much we appreciate you taking the time to comment.
We love Brevard! Glad you saw the white squirrels! Beautiful! Have a great Thanksgiving! Loved coming along with you today! Love from SC, Jane❤🙏
We appreciate you following along on our little travels. We hope you have a wonderful week and a very Happy Thanksgiving!
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Love you guys (all 3) and enjoyed Owen's song in the vid, too! ❤️🙏🦃 So grateful for all the blessings the Lord has given us and y'all are certainly included in that number!
Great vid! Loved the music!
Thanks, we appreciate you watching.
Thank you so much for all you do sharing your lives. You are our Sunday Morning coffee time! From griddle me this, Maggie walks, and music we say A+! Happy Thanksgiving from Maine with 💕
Thank you for your kind comment. Glad we could join you for your Sunday morning coffee. Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving?
So crazy, we’re rewatching Downton Abbey right now too. (Bc we’re at home for work). Great music this episode. Only 17 mins in, can’t wait to hear an Owen original song!
That is crazy, I can’t believe we waited so long to watch it… so good.
This was so much fun to watch! Glad to see the Owen Happy Dance again! Gonna have to try the cheeseburger recipe! Loved the shots of Lynn at the waterfall & of course, all of the ones with Maggie! Owen, loved your song!
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
I love watching your videos, but it does make me miss my husband even more. Enjoy each other.💖
I hate we make you miss your husband, but hopefully it also brings back some wonderful memories. We hope you have a wonderful week and a Happy Thanksgiving!
Love this! We visited Hendersonville last summer with our son- they live near Charlotte. I added Time Marches On to our drive playlist ❤️🎶❤️ thanks for another Sunday night treat!
Thanks for adding Owen’s song to your playlist… we feel honored.
LOL. Lynn let’s you get away with murder. But then again, you’re editing and she has no say.
You should post that song on Epidemic Sound! We’re you 26 when you recorded it?
Haha. She loves me for sure. Not 26. It was written in 2004 and recorded in 2005.
Loved this video! Such a beautiful, gorgeous and awesome area! My husband and I were just talking about so much of what was in your song.. Take care you two!
Thank you so much. Your comment is very much appreciated.
Best. RV Camping trip ever!. Wait, but I say that every time!😂… I love and appreciate your rv camping videos. It just takes me away. Owen, you are a talented man. Thank You for sharing.
The best camping trip is the one you are on. We always try to make it the best, that’s part of the fun.
somebody watches sam the cooking guy..haha
We LOOOOVE STCG. We get a lot of our recipes from him and lots of inspiration.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle same here
I’m definitely going to try those quesadilla burgers. It’s one of my faves at Applebees but your showing how to cut the tortilla makes it look so easy. Thanks. I think I’ll try some pico de gallo on it. Yum.
There’s so much ways you could do the quesadilla burgers and it’s so easy. Thanks for watching.
Holy smokes, your music is phenomenal, Owen! Are there more songs?
Thank you so much. Owen was a musician for many years and he has written and recorded many songs. So glad you liked it.
I saw the tiny air-fryer, and put it on my 'Campervan' list. That, along with a small InstantPot, is going with me when I head out. Now, if I could just find a small microwave...
The air fryer is great a warmer things up too you may not need a microwave… that’s what we are hoping for.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Thanks. I'll have to adjust 5to no microwave, I think.
I just love you guys! Your video today was just so good from your opening to the last notes of Owen’s poignant (but truthful) song. I know exactly where you camped since my husband and I stayed at a B&B near by. The lovely fall scenery was just what I hoped to see. I laughed and smiled through the entire video. Your griddle me this segment was a nice touch. Glad to see you bring that back. I hope both of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with all the things that make you happy! Until next time, bye bye from Northwest Florida. P.S. I’m sharing this one on Facebook because it was so good and I’ve got some family members I think will enjoy it. 😍
Thanks so much for sharing your videos it is very much appreciated. We hope you have wonderful week and a very Happy Thanksgiving? Much Love!
😢
👍
As always, totally enjoy your work. I just launched my own TH-cam channel. If you check it out, start with episode 3. I do both the music & video content. Sorta VanLife meets Photo vlog... but different. My work is kinda trippy. Best with headphones. Lemme know your thoughts!
We both think you are Awesome! We watched all your videos… Love, love, love your style. The only thing I’m missing is knowing the person behind the camera. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
And yeah, I get the “not knowing the person behind the camera”.. but, at least initially, I wanted the focus to be on the work.
And thank you both again for getting back to me! You’re both awesome! :-)
9:25 Owen, you are so naughty!
Didn't know if anyone caught that. 😂😂👍.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle how could we miss with the wicked laugh that followed.
Please start doing more traveling across are great country. It seems like your just hanging out in the Carolina’s promoting products. Don’t get me wrong the Carolinas are Beautiful . But your videos are changing. From what you started out doing . We love y’all and you have more to give .. travel videos should have more travel to different environments. Not trying to say this in a negative way . But like most people that buy RV end up just going to campsites close to there home base . With a occasional long trip . And then in a few years they get burned out and move on to something else. I know I like to be reminded that there are lots of regions across are country with amazing people and sight’s to see. . Y’all are very entertaining
Thank you so much for your input, it is appreciated. We hope to do more long trips in the future… we realize there is so much out there to see and experience but sometimes it hard to get away for long periods of time that we feel like we would need to make it worth the time to travel that far, so we do what we can for now. I hate you feel we a promoting products, that’s not our intention at all we just want to share the items that works for us in a small space in hopes it may also help someone else. We all travel differently and what works for one person doesn’t mean it works for everyone. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Have a wonderful week.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle We love your videos, Owen and Lynn, whether they are in NC or somewhere else. We just purchased a Travato 59K in the summer and are learning a lot about how to downsize from a 30-ft Class C and enjoy our B, whether that's on a local day trip or several overnights somewhere. We, too, find it challenging to get away for long periods of time. We love watching another older couple travel part-time in their van. So many of the RV'ers posting videos are full-timers or much younger than we are, and we can't relate to their experiences. We also love hearing about products and tips/techniques that work for you guys. Your music is wonderful, too! So much better than the canned dance music so many of the RV videos use. Your voice and lyrics add so much to your videos. Please keep your videos coming--wherever you go. Happy Thanksgiving! Hugs to Maggie from us!
@@SK-zx5nf OK!!!! Thanks Mom! 😂. Seriously thank you more than words can say! Maggie says thanks for the love.
I really do love your videos it just seem like your moving in a completely different way then you started out . My wife & I couldn’t wait to see we’re you were going to be every week . We’re getting up in age and watching y’all biking and kayaking inspired us to start doing the same thang .
@@stephenboldrey9973 Stephen it's probably true we're moving differently. Family needs and COVID have kept us close to home for what seems like forever. Maybe we played it too safe. Who knows. Right now we have a trip west planned for January, 2022 and we should get back to more of the things that you mentioned. We'll take our bikes but probably not kayaks. And the series we are on now has us into TN too. Thanks for watching and really thanks for letting us know how you feel about episodes. It helps us know what to prioritize. That said we'll always prioritize family and happiness over content and hope you understand that.
