    Always check your PUDDLES! We saw many less capable ( than us) cars come into this campground… the key is never underestimating the puddle depth.

    Storm Trooper is okay but what a lesson learned (which we already knew) NEVER GET LAZY checking your puddles. Many cars with lower clearance came into camp after us just fine!
    Soiler alert…. In a few videos we have a HUGE mechanical maintenance video and we decided to just replace that transmission pan!

      Yep, a dent that doesn't leak will cause problems if it's deep enough to affect the volume of tank.

    I went up a 20-mile windy mountain road to a ghost town only to discover RVs and trailers at the top and a main tarred road leading to the same ghost town. Thanks Google.

    My brother works at a Dodge/Jeep dealer.. he says he gets these vans in the shop all the time because folks take them on trails and high center them into rocks and such just like this video. Careful out there folks!

    Hi There !
    Ed Here, From Pindorama !
    Newbie in The Channel,
    I Was Directed From Soft Roading The West and/or Matt Cook Oregon Through This Algoritm Thing or Whatever.
    Wow, That "Inoffensive" Puddle Almost Cost You Guys a Lot, Isn't It ?
    Here in Pindorama We Call The Most Inexperienced Off Road Guy a "Zéquinha" !
    Guess What ?
    "Zéquinhas" Are To Check Puddles For Treir Depth and/or Rocks, Thick Branches, Among Many Other Obstacles in Advance of a Crossing.
    Well, As You Know Well, Do Not Avoid Being a "Zéquinha" 😁 !
    I’d Like To Take This Opportunity To Suggest Matt Cook Channel For a Nice Feature, Wich Is Show Where You Are and/or You Intend To Go Through Google Earth And
    Soft Roading The West Showing One (Or Various) Useful Equipment and What Is Its Reliability on The (Real Deal) Road .
    It's Just an Idea That I Find Very Nice.
    Well, I Wish You (The "Three" Of You) Good Luck and Safe Rides !
    Look Forward To Next AdVANture !
    Best Regards !
    Ed

    also, the quality of the video is not sharp. I don't know if that's due to something on my end or not.

    You hit yours on the left, I smacked mine on the right ! Keep an eye on it though, mine started leaking about a month later ? Gasket replacement was simple 🙂 also good time to change filter while in there , paying for organic trans fluid kinda hurt lol ☹️

    Beautiful place and I'm so glad your van wasn't damaged (too much). Carrie, your photo of the incredible sunset with a rainbow is beyond beautiful. I want to encourage you, again, to do a travel photo book! You are professional level girl!

    • @oneadVANtureatatime

      @snowbirdlady7221 ปีที่แล้ว

      Or consider other options like an annual calendar of your favorites or even sets of blank notecards. I once fell in love with a watercolor artist's work on a trip. I couldn't afford an original from her, but I did buy a set of blank cards that were so gorgeous! @@oneadVANtureatatime

    We just left Maine. Portland area. Video is on my page if anyone is interested. We want to go further up into Maine but that’s for a later trip. When we left we went to a “Boondockers welcome” spot and it was up a steep, winding dirt road😂 at night in the rain. I feel your pain with slow driving on those type of roads. Nice campground at Moosehead 👍🏼 the weather sure is nice this time of year.
    Glad the van is ok. I’m also glad my van is lifted and 4wd. I learn so much from you two 👍🏼Great video ✌🏼

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +The Salty Medic insult to injury…. We have both been on much worse roads and we have both driven much worse…. We just got lazy. And when we finally got to the campground only to find many vehicles way less capable than us…. Palm to forehead! Lol I fear 4wd would only get us in trouble😂😂😂

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Camp Out West US YES! We hated to leave! We stay 10 days and then had to head to New Hampshire for a mechanic appointment ( routine maintenance) and a new transmission pan 😂

  • @conchscooter
    @conchscooter ปีที่แล้ว

    Van edge works in Livermore makes an. $800 skid plate for the Promaster which covers our second alternator and has saved us from rocks and gravel too many times to count while allowing oil changes. I’m surprised you get away with your crazy off roading without it!

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  ปีที่แล้ว

      +conchscooter usually good driving😂😂😃 Dave definitely is the better driver.

  • @Rashnak66

    I got the 3" lift kit and suspension upgrade (Off Hwy Van) for my promaster- MUCH more confident on bad roads now.

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  ปีที่แล้ว

      +Rashnak66 nice! We didn’t have the funds to do that! Someday maybe….You can still get yourself into trouble if you don’t pay attention! Or get lazy like we did!

  • @Scrambler85
    @Scrambler85 ปีที่แล้ว

    My family camped on that lake in the 70's, the fishing was great.
    We had a John boat, and we would paddle it out on the lake just to listen to the loons.
    It's nice to see Dave with the edibles again. That's always interesting.
    How are the mosquitoes compared to Santee 😁

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +J. G. Sounds like a great time! The loons were taunting me (carrie) they would sound off and as soon as I went outside they would be silent. This happened for two weeks! I don’t know if anything can beat the mosquitoes at Santee…. Maybe Alaska 😂

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  ปีที่แล้ว

      +Jerry Jackman because we turned off the main road that we met them on. They also said it was marked with a pink flag…. Clearly there was no pink flag. But more importantly… you always check your own puddles…. We both know this! We have both driven much worse roads… we just got lazy. By-the-way…. Dave was not driving!

Dave, thanks for taking me with you on your walk. I liked the adventure. LOVED the breadless burger. I do those all the time. Lesson learned about water shoes and checking puddles. Thanks Dave.

    Since I live in Maine and own property in the area you visited, there was a strong familiarity watching your video. Thank you for sharing the wonder of it all.
