Amazing scenery. Always like the background music choices you use for your videos. Very nice guitar playing whoever composed that piece . Safe travels and looking forward to seeing more of your journey north!
The mountains are sure beautiful. Great story about your dad's mustang. That was a great car. What a great adventure with so much history. Thanks for sharing your amazing video with us.
love your videos. keep us posted on how all the modifications and organizing techniques are working out for you on your amazing trip. safe travels to you and john
Beautiful video! And thanks so much for remembering about the hats. So funny, because the 2nd hat is just like one I almost bought last month at Mammouth Cave! Their gift shop had them too. Enjoy the family time , and thanks again!
Thanks for sharing. Brings back many happy memories camping/hiking/fishing/skiing and such from mid 60's thru late 70's before escaping to the GPNW. Looking forward to watching your journey. Ironically, it's one planned for the wife and I once settled into our 'final' home on the SWWA coast this Fall. Safe travels. Vi es con dios.
Beautiful video! Your scenery is stunning! We hope to do this trip next year with my brother and sister and their spouses leaving from San Diego so we are eagerly enjoying your journey. Stay safe and please keep these awesome videos coming!
Man, You’re videos are getting better and better if that’s even possible! It’s like watching a mini movie. I’m home with a severe ankle sprain. We just traded our New (we never camped in it once) Thor coach that we had ordered, for a Tiffin coach that we ordered as well. Picked it up On Friday. I’ve been moving things in and having fun organizing. Tuesday I severely sprained my ankle on an uneven surface in our side yard. So now all I can do with the new coach is get on my knee scooter and look at it in my side yard😳☹️😫😂 but hey, it could always be worse. So I’m very thankful it’s not. I’m going to be binge watching your videos today. You guys are so inspirational.... Please stay safe and happy with your wonderful travels... All my very best
From She to Me Well, It was one thing after another. It honestly stayed at CampingWorld for months and months this last time they kept it for 9 mo. I never saw it the entire time. They had it much longer than we did. ThorMotorCoach blamed them, they blamed Thor it was a nightmare to say the least. The stress and anxiety was very real. ThorMotorCoach and CampingWorld are partners ThorMotorCoach bailed CampingWorld out back when our economy crashed. They really know how to work together. I’ve seen it first hand. I’m so grateful to be away from those two Companies, I will never go back. Tiffin has been like family throughout the entire build and now afterwards. It’s as different as night and day, honestly! Thanks for asking and thanks for your well wishes! I’ve been binge watching your videos today, it’s really been very nice. Please stay safe while enjoying happy travels....
OMG. I recently watched a video and then listened to a podcast about the problems at Camping World. Apparently lots of folks experienced the same thing. Smart move on your part. Sounds like they won’t be around much longer.
Perhaps a hat with mosquito netting for Alaska . I love Silver Lake in the June Lake Loop so much that I've given my family instructions, that my ashes be spread in Rush creek. In all the decades of going there , I've never seen so much snow . Especially as late as Memorial day. Happy trails !
A stop at Liard Hot Springs is a must. Watch out for the Bison on the road. I’ve seen over 100 in one spot, saw 10 black bears in one day. Don’t hurry, so much beautiful scenery to see. Take a sign to hang, nail or screw to a post atWatson Lake’s sign forest. Whitehorse has a nice museum and plenty to do too. Shortly before Whitehorse is another hot spring.
Smell something in the air when I stayed there 4 weeks ago, but didn't see any cows or horses near by. However, this campground sure was the most beautiful I've ever stayed in my last cross country trip. I would never have found it without watching your video.
Glad to see you are on your way up! Out of curiosity what is your video background. Your shots, pacing, and edit are spot on. We could tell you guys had great skills behind the camera with your talking head videos (lighting, composition, etc), but now that you are on the road you can real see your skills shining through. All this to say great video, looking forward to all the videos to come!
LOL. I suck at this but trying to get as good as you. Not sure which video background you are referring to. Most are the Eastern Sierras. You need to visit some time. You’d love it!
@@FromShetoMe Sorry I don't always reread my comments before sending them. Video background as in are you a photographer, do commercial work, or weddings? You can tell you have had experience behind the camera.
Nice start to your BIG trip! We leave on Monday heading for Spokane to hopefully meet up with you guys. At 200+ K miles we tore down that straight six on the Mustang and found that the number 3 cylinder had never had rings ... what a hoot.... Glad to see that John is back on all cylinders! Be safe and lots of pics.
So excited for you! AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH (laska)!!! Every time I see your Pleasure Way I just drool... and then I see the beautiful areas you travel and I just melt... I'm just a puddly mess! :-D Can't wait to follow your adventures to Alaska! Be seeing you!
Photo of Mustang was not a 65 as they had a chrome piece in that indentation near rear side. I owned one years ago. And AC was not much available then! My Mom had Sears add an after market AC added in spring of 66 for our cross country Mother Daughter bonding expeditions after my HS graduation! Silly me I traded it in ‘71 as my college grad gift to me using $$ saved during the school year from my Navy scholarship as a Navy Nurse Corps Candidate. Wish I still had my 65 silver blue metallic Mustang!
Interesting to see your soft start North to Alaska. Fun musical selections. Wonder where you are now? We got a slow start too in Oregon/Washington. Just left Jasper headed toward Dawson City, the “official” start of the journey.
Currently watching or PCT: Restless Kiwi, Little Skittles, Crunchmaster For the AT: Outdoor Adventures, Porkchop Triple Crowner AT, PCT and CDT watch Homemade Wanderlust. She has 3 great documentaries and will be doing some areas of the PCT that were closed due to fires, with her mom this summer. I did the AT in 1978 after college.
This is the time of year that hikers are walking the Pacific Crest Trail (Mexico to Canada). Some have reached the Sierra mountains already and there will now be a steady stream. The donut shop you stopped at is a favorite pit stop for hikers in Bishop. Your 3.5 mile hike may have been on or very near the trail. You can do a google search of the PCT for a trail map and check the hiking route out. This is the time of year that those that love hiking tend to treat these thru hikers with “trail magic”. Something as simple as a cold drink, snickers candy bar are truly appreciated by the hikers since they have to carry the weight of food and tend to shy away from treats. When they begin the Sierra they carry 10 days of food and packs weigh in around 40 pounds. There is a current group currently around Mammouth Lakes. Hope you find this interesting since you and John love to hike.
Thanks. I guess I was confused because we couldn’t imagine anyone making it so much snow still up there. It must’ve been a miserable week for them. The weather was lousy. I have hiked the John Muir trail so have run into a few PCT through hikers but rarely in town. We also followed “Darwin on the trail” on his trip last year. Are there any hikers you are following this year? I’m always looking for a good hiking vlog.
Hi there! Me n my wife are a big fan of your channel. Thanks for the ideas that you are sharing. Just wondering, what’s the brand name of the tent or canopy that you attached on your van? Instead of using the awning, a good alternative for windy situation. Thanks!
It's called a Moonshade. I used the link from a "Trent and Allie" discount code in a video they did a few months ago. It's not much but 10% at least covers the sales tax. The only problem is you do have to move one of the magnets when you open or close the door. It's not a problem for us because we have mosquito netting that we leave down when the door is open and lifting the magnet on the one side while the other person closes the door has not been a problem. moonfab.co/shop/moonshade/?gclid=CjwKCAjwltH3BRB6EiwAhj0IUJGPU7WmfgZfhGDRACclMXMW_N1OIK6kMaV7Jk9-rz6gD8EXnYFi8BoCgk8QAvD_BwE
Hello Debbie, Josie and I have been enjoying the entire journey. Our plan is to travel to Alaska in 3 yrs when I retire at 62. This summer we are traveling across country from Maryland to Washington St. we welcome any recommendations. Question, is John a prior military service man, Veteran?
Thanks. No, he is not. I had thoughts of following my brother into the Air Force but discovered I had the wrong plumbing. I hope to have cross country travel suggestions after this summer if things improve. And Alaska 2022 should see a ton of travelers in both directions.
Contratulations of hitting 10000 views! It looks like you are having a great time on your first week. I have a question: why didn't you get a metal case for your spare tire so you attach it directly to one of the rear door?
Another great one Debbie! I have made that trip so many times on the way to Mammoth Mountain and I'm always amazed how beautiful the Owens Valley is, you really showcased it nicely! Thank you. BTW I was at Beach City today looking at PW's ;-)
We love the new suspension and never miss the original, We just wonder why we didn't do it sooner. Several of our viewers have had theirs done and agree. The lift it gave us is especially welcome. The only downside is a drop of a few miles per gallon but we think the trade off is worth it.
Just for your protection you should wear : Ear plugs , Safety glasses , A helmet , Safety shoes , Gloves , A condom , Shin guards , A back brace and of course A medical alert bracelet with a prepaid medical benefits account . NOW you are ready to enjoy a nice steamy mineral bath.
I think we left mid June and returned in August. Our timing was great. Got to take advantage of the long days and didn't encounter a terrible amount of rain.
Our packing has changed so much since that trip. In fact, Sunday's video starts out with me sharing how I pack. So you might want to tune into that. But when we use bags, I like the ones that REI makes (various sizes) and they have a cinch zipper that really compacts the clothing.
can I ask you what pass was it that you have for the valley pit camp ground? and how can we get one we have the national park pass but don't know what pass you have to pay 2.50 a night Im very interested in that...safe travels take care
I think you have the right one. It is the It is the America the beautiful pass for seniors (62 and older). It will get you half off at all National Park and US forest service campground as well as BLM campgrounds. It is a lifetime pass that I believe costs $60 or $80.
I'd very much like to go to Alaska, so I'm looking forward to your trip. Where you're at I've seen many times. The scenic drive is beautiful, however your narratives are sooooooo low and your music so loud that the contrast is at times annoying.
Awesome video!
Thank you for the California trip video and the music.~
So well done...looking forward to seeing more.
Convict lake what a wonderful spot. Only place on earth that I hit my limit on rainbow trout, catch and release of course.
Gorgeous scenery--really enjoyed the music you selected to go with it. Fun trip.
What a nice scenery!
you guys captured the first part of your trip beautifully! thanks for sharing with us.

Oh my we are getting pretty risque! I love that whole June Lake area.

I've enjoyed having Debbie as my personal tour guide.
You guys are too funny. Great music choices and beautiful scenery 👍
love your videos. keep us posted on how all the modifications and organizing techniques are working out for you on your amazing trip. safe travels to you and john
Thanks. Will do. So far we have left a few items at our son's place and will pick them up on our way home.
Well you are on your way! Take it all in...absorb it...breathe it! Safe journey to you and John.
Absolutely beautiful scenery, thank you for sharing! Will definitely add this to my 'must see' list. Safe travels
Beautiful video! And thanks so much for remembering about the hats. So funny, because the 2nd hat is just like one I almost bought last month at Mammouth Cave! Their gift shop had them too. Enjoy the family time , and thanks again!
I have a picture from Mammoth Cave with my parents and siblings when I was about eight.
So excited ! Safe travels ! Cheers from Belgium.
Beautiful scenery , after all that is California .
love it.
Thank you for giving me a great mental getaway!
Great videos we certainly have a beautiful country to experience! Looking forward to the rest of your northern travels.
Beautiful views, thanks for sharing. We look forward to what you share next..
Thanks for sharing. Brings back many happy memories camping/hiking/fishing/skiing and such from mid 60's thru late 70's before escaping to the GPNW. Looking forward to watching your journey.

We’re in Spokane for a few days and then to Jasper ourselves. Feel free to email us alerts or info as you blaze the trail. energymaven@gmail.com
From She to Me you can look at 511AK to look for the weather and road conditions and even some road cams.
Stetson straw cowgirl hat would look very nice
I’m also from Huntington Beach, would be great to meet you two.
There are a number of folks from the area so when we get back I thought it might be fun to have a meet up at Bolsa Chica.

How do you like your new suspension and tires now that you have had them for a while? Do you miss the stock suspension ever?

I would be interested in how many miles you guys drive a day during your trip. We hope to make the trip some day.
We generally try to follow the Wendland’s 330 rule. 330 miles or stopping by 330. But of course that is dependent on so many things.
Love their videos...RV Lifestyle and yours‼️
Bugs that crawl into someone's ear anyplace that is very, very humid (rain forest)
Just for your protection you should wear : Ear plugs , Safety glasses , A helmet , Safety shoes , Gloves , A condom , Shin guards , A back brace and of course A medical alert bracelet with a prepaid medical benefits account . NOW you are ready to enjoy a nice steamy mineral bath.
Hilarious.
What was the timing of your trip? June and July? If you did it again, would you travel the same time period?
I think we left mid June and returned in August. Our timing was great. Got to take advantage of the long days and didn't encounter a terrible amount of rain.
