I’m sure you realize that many of your viewers are riding along in our imagination, as we are too old, sick or dying. Our last chance to see this amazing country! Thank you! 😊
@@davidr1777 Nailed it. All of the above, plus poor and living on disability. Yet there's always something to be grateful for, if you're willing to look for it.
Thanks for taking me on a motorcycle road trip. Those are some beautiful views you showed. That was so nice you were able to meet up with the family to break bread and share. Can't wait till the next one. Godspeed.
Wow! Quite the ride! Thank you so much for taking us along. Something I won’t do but hopefully my grandson and his girlfriend will enjoy on their motorcycles. Thank you
Love this, thank you, Dave. I'm a 71 yr old gal that started riding motorcycle at 38 and have put about 80K miles in the saddle enjoying God's beauty. Your video got me to imagining the smells, bugs, changing temps, and especially the sights - all the blessings of motorcycling. Enjoy all the family's videos so much!
Awesome! Thanks for jumping on your bike and taking us with you! I love a spur of the moment road-trip! Blessings on you and the family! Adventures, safety and joy! 👍

So did it again in 1996 to Prudhoe Bay....AMAZING adventure it was..THANK YOU for your amazing story and words...Sept. 3 rd 2024....tr orr ...i lived YOUR ADVENTURE....thanks
I’m leaving for Alaska tomorrow. Love watching your families videos! My sister lives near Hatcher Pass and I’ve had the opportunity to visit Alaska since 1984. Last time I was there was 2017, I’m so excited and I taking my 11 yr old granddaughter for the first time.
I took an amazing trip when I was 14 with my mom on the back seat of a Honda CRX 500, pulling a loaded trailer with camping gear, clothing, and food rations. We left Iowa first of June headed west to Oregon. We stayed with grandparents and toured around Central Oregon for 3 weeks. We packed back up and toured back to Iowa. We rode in rain for 4 days. It was an amazing time. We sent up camp one night extra early as we got a short break in the weather to dry out our gear. My mom repeated that trip two more times with my sister and brother. My brother got in on Mnt Saint Helen's irruption. That caused some engine issues temporarily until they hit Montana. Mom has been gone 2 years this June. She loved to ride a motorcycle to tour our beautiful country. Us kid's so enjoyed our trip with mom. I truly enjoyed your video. Breath taking country. Happy Summer Adventures 😊
A friend of mine took that trip twice! Drove his BMW all the way from ohio to Denali! He has 450,000 miles on that thing and has never washed it! Crazy bastard he is! Thanks for sharing!
My wife and I have started watching Betting on Alaska and may I say, you and Brooke did a fantastic job raising that young man. The world needs more young people with their heads on straight! Oh...also enjoying your vids too...
Man of the same heart, nothing gives you the sense of freedom like being out on a bike, I have had a bike from when I was 15 yrs old and I am 70 yrs old next weekend and still ride a bike, many thanks for sharing, cheers Ian from England
I enjoyed watching the video. I did the Denali Highway trip on my motorcycle about a month ago. I FROZE. It has been a long time since I was so cold for so long. However I loved the trip and would do it again in a heartbeat. Maclaren pass was still almost continuous snow covered when I went through. I did the trip solo also (nobody to go with) and made it a three day two night trip. I had wanted to stretch it another day but was having a hard time finding camping spots as several campgrounds were closed, so ended up the last day traveling from the West end of the Denali all the way back to home. If you decide to make any more trips on the bike and want some company, don't hesitate to give me a holler. I'm usually available on fairly short notice. Thumbs up on the video.
I loved your comment about losing your mind as a parent if your teenager took off on a 1000mile moto trip! I've done a lot of riding and ditched my bike as soon as we had kids....too many close calls with cars that didn't see me. Glad you were wearing dayglow colors and got back safe. Quite a nice ride you shared with us. Be well!
Thanks for taking us along. Beautiful scenery. Now I have a vicarious sore butt.😅 I've been keeping up on your son's videos. You and Brooke have done well parenting that young man. You should be proud as I am proud of all of you. Until next time sir...God Bless you and your family.
Loved it! I think it is so cool how your family loves to stay connected, yet you all have your own interests. The love and companionship is beautiful. Complete trust, and would never do anything to put your marriage in jepordy! Love that you take your wedding vows so seriously and your relationship with God. Bless you all.
OMGoodness, I just realized who you've always reminded me of, Dave! It's Dick Proenneke! I fell in love with Alaska because of him and at times you sound just like him! Anyway, I appreciate all that you, Brooke, and now Mick are sharing! Blessings to all of your family!
It is true. The camera can not capture even the visuals, let alone the experience. However, those of us who understand the limitations of the camera, or, better still, the feeling of a similar experience, can extrapolate quite a bit from a photo or video. That was an incredible trip. Thanks for sharing. I always feel like filming for others takes away from my own enjoyment, and I appreciate the sacrifice : )
we ALWAYS love your videos. You know how to make very interesting videos and your voice is so relaxing and soothing. My hubby and I always look forward to what you put out. God bless you all.
Totally agree Dave, the drive between Paxson and Delta Junction is the prettiest drive in Alaska...I have done it many, many times...in cars, RV and on my motorcycles. It never gets old! Great trip!
Dave , youre always a pleaaure to listen to. I guess its your voice , you have a natural "story telling voice" I enjoyed the adventure and looking forward to the next one.
Just found your boys channel!! Gonna be a fun ride watching him grow!! Wish I grew up like he did.. but, I'm making the best of what cards I was dealt!!!
Have to drag my girl through there someday. 1981 KZ 305 CSR was my first vehicle also. Brand new, never changed the oil on it the whole time I owned it. Ran out the bottom faster than it could get dirty. Dealer resealed it twice. I finally sold it and got an XT 500.
Dave, you and your wife have kept me motivated for a while now, glad to see one of you kids taking up the same lifestyle. Much love from another Believer from down Kentucky way!
Yes - thanks for taking us along on your adventure! We really enjoy your style of narration with a few live sections interspersed. It was fun to see the three of you get together in the midst of your individual ventures. ❤
I’ve already saved one of Micks videos to watch later and didn’t even realize until now he’s your boy. Will definitely get on watching it even quicker now.
I have watched this 3 or 4 times and have fallen asleep a couple of times to it. What a great story. It makes me homesick. I am so happy for Mickey. And Belle!...whether she wants it or not.
I think one of the most dangerous things about motorcycles is having all the other cars on the road. How many times do you hear about someone turning in front of a motorcycle because the car's driver didn't see the bike. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!
Really enjoyed riding along with you on your motorcycle, seeing the beauty of Alaska that I'd never otherwise see. Your narrative was very interesting and fun. It was nice to see your get-together with Brooke and Mickey. Good for you that you just got on your cycle and rode! Those spontaneous little vacations are the best! Thanks!
⚖️Gorgeous SUN AND MOUNTAIN PIX‼️Thanks for taking us along on your trip‼️The views are AWESOME‼️I always love the words of wisdom you always share with us‼️👍😊
A friend of mine was in the Air Force in 1981 Elmendorf AFB. He set us up with a rental motor home for a week and we traveled this route. It gave me the best pictures. On the gravel we got a flat on the motor home. I think Paxton might have been where we got the tire repaired. Motor home shook so bad on the gravel that the turn signal lever fell off along with one of the cabinet doors. Glad too see it hasn't been paved over. Good times! Thanks for sharing that.
I'm not surprised you ride a KLR650 with Tusk gear. Simple, reliable, well built stuff. Safe travels from a fellow Michigan biker and future cabin builder.
I appreciate your perspectives on life and being a Christian married couple. Bugs suck but they are part of nature and nobody puts that in the brochure. Rangers lead the way and God leads the Rangers. Thanks for putting out there in the world that freedom takes hard work and dedication and showing America that brand new stuff doesn't equable happiness.
It's a great day when Dave releases a video! Thanks for taking us along! 😃
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video so far just started watching
Agreed. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
He's not to famous to answer comments yet, that's awesome! Most people don't answer comments 👍
I try to answer as many as I can. I'm actually in a truckstop parking lot right now using their wifi to answer comments
Hi Dave.. Thank you for sharing your Road Trip.. What a great way to find some peace and set priorities in order..!
I’m sure you realize that many of your viewers are riding along in our imagination, as we are too old, sick or dying. Our last chance to see this amazing country! Thank you! 😊
I agree, but I think broke should be in there somewhere lol

WELL SAID!!!!😅😅😁🤗🤗
And at least One of us is going thru Phy. Therapy, nursing a broken ankle ( motorcycle ). 2-1/2 months and counting . . .

Dave...I just want to tell you I love you. Thank you for all your videos. I wish you and your family every blessing God has to offer.
Thank you for taking us with you on the journey and always trying your best to remind us that there’s a big world out there to explore.
Thanks. That was a great trip for those of us who won't get to see it any other way. It was good to see Brooke and Mick, too
Wow! Quite the ride! Thank you so much for taking us along. Something I won’t do but hopefully my grandson and his girlfriend will enjoy on their motorcycles. Thank you
The veiws from a bike in alaska are hard to beat on a nice day!
I just sighed all the way through. I'm grateful for you taking me to places I will never get to see.
Great video something about taking a bike trip by yourself even for a couple days is so cathartic brings peace to the soul
These videos are such a blessing. I watch them before bed and feel relaxed
Just awesome, Dave. Can't put a price on lunch with family, no matter the roadtrip required! Love it.
Love this, thank you, Dave. I'm a 71 yr old gal that started riding motorcycle at 38 and have put about 80K miles in the saddle enjoying God's beauty. Your video got me to imagining the smells, bugs, changing temps, and especially the sights - all the blessings of motorcycling. Enjoy all the family's videos so much!
Thank you for showing me another reason why I would love to go to Alaska. I follow the whole family and enjoy each of you!!
Thanx for the trip Dave....beautiful scenery..loved it ❤
I love it when a video drops on this channel. It always brightens my day.
Beautiful, thank you for taking us along. Blessings.
Three Whiples rendezvous for a garbage omelet but enjoy burritos as their family meal. 😋 This was fun 👍🥰🥳 🏍
Awesome! Thanks for jumping on your bike and taking us with you! I love a spur of the moment road-trip! Blessings on you and the family! Adventures, safety and joy! 👍
The most into the area than ever...such a beautiful nature all around 🎉
Dave, you & Brooke make me miss Alaska so much ❣️ Carry on Son. I am having adventures again through you & Brooke ❣️

Thanks for taking us along on the ride, I certainly enjoyed it. You are right about the camera not seeing what you see with your own two eyes.
I'll second the one benefit of getting older, places, movies, video games, you can enjoy all your favorites for the first time all over again!
I’m leaving for Alaska tomorrow. Love watching your families videos! My sister lives near Hatcher Pass and I’ve had the opportunity to visit Alaska since 1984. Last time I was there was 2017, I’m so excited and I taking my 11 yr old granddaughter for the first time.

Yes, seize the day. Take it in as you go. Get up and go. Life is short. Good video.
Those mountains are absolutely beautiful ❤❤
Thanks for filming this. It was fabulous to see all the beauty there.
A picture might be worth 1000 words, but being there can leave you speechless. Thanks, Dave.
Awesome!! Thanks for taking us along. Beautiful out there for sure. A great trip

What he said. Except for the wife part.
That's a great family! Praise the Lord!
Thanks so much.. The scenery was absolutely beautiful but also your spirit and your voice is such a calming presence in your videos. 😊

Great trip & sights; thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗💗🇨🇦

Love this, I'm 80 and this is on my bucket list. This is probably the closest i will get to accomplishing it.
Don’t leave it to late, you don’t need a bike,, you can get there plane, train or automobile. Or a Ship and the train.
