In the last episode we completed the #whiterimtrail of #canyonlands National Park. What a way to get an introduction to Utah! The most beautiful kind of sceneries just for us. A dream. Boosted up by this adventure we continued our exploration of Utah continuing with #thetopoftheworld offroad which did not go as planned as well as some downhill bycicle in the #Moab area. In this episode we show you this and much more in #utah. Everyturn offers a beautiful landscape, every rock is special in this region. Despite that winter is well around. We had naively forgotten the elevation of the place and the temperatures that would go with it. In appearance, a desert. In reality it is almost as cold as our time in #wyoming if it is not for the humidity. In this episode we not only need to say goodbye to Utah but also to someone else… someone who has been with us for a while now…

Aww, it was so bittersweet to say goodbye to Tom! It would be really nice if he started his own You Tube channel, all of us would subscribe to follow his adventures!
We with too!!!! But we re happy he spends his free time doing what he loves most : riding bikes!
Tom seems like a great traveling partner. Hopefully your paths will cross again soon. 👍🏻
We are you they will!
Utah is Stunning! One of the most uniquely beautiful places on earth!
Totally!
Even I was sad to see Tom depart! Hopefully you'll hook up together farther down the road. If you swing by Flagstaff, AZ., camp in Lockett Meadows, you won't be disappointed. Where ever you go, we'll be watching over your shoulder. Drive safe, be safe. LIVE life you two!
Thank you so much!!! We re happy if you are enjoying the trip!
Love Tom!!!
He is genuine. A great friend forever!!!
The slot canyons we're really amazing. The filming was really good. Once again, you have given us a beautiful video diary. Thank you and safe/ fun travels!
thank you Ursula! yes those slot canyon are insane
I can't say how much I like your work Mathilde and the two "Sticks"! :)
Sad to see Tom part ways but the reunion, hopefully, will be that much more sweeter.
Happy trails!
Thank you Marin!!! exactly it is great to think we will see each other again but do not know when.
The end is very emotional! I don’t want to see Tom out of the picture!
Thanks again for a great video.
It looks like a simple happy balanced life, and you convey so well those life values. It’s always a very n(o)ice and feel-good moment to watch and tag along your adventures. See you next week!
Thanks a lot Ella! And thank you to be here around to encourage us to continue!
Love your videos. Thanks for continuing to post them. I am from the USA and have travelled many places around the world, but only visited southern Utah last spring. I was blown away by its beauty. I will be driving through there in January and your videos are giving me fresh ideas of what to visit and what it will be like in winter. Thanks, again, bon voyage, bon courage, and bonne continuation!
Merci beaucoup Mark! Yes one needs 3 months to go through Utah … enjoy! And bring warm clothes hahahaha
Another amazing video! Stunning landscapes with so much to explore.
What a great place to spend time in.
Sad to see Kiwi Tom go, hopefully you will meet up again further south.
Good thing is that the weather will be much warmer as you start to head towards Mexico!
Yes we count on that! South south south
@@NextMeridianExpedition😊
Awwww... Sad to see Tom go. He’s a good travel companion no qualms or whatsoever. Definitely, we’ll going to miss him too!😢
Yes… we ll see him again
The triplets are seperated for now, but the memories are there forever and they will meet again next year! This was a beautiful adventure that someday, somehow, needs to be continued!
Totally! We hope to see him again soon!
I was looking for all the comments about missing Tom as you could see the great friendship you guys shared. The comments did not disappoint. ❤️
Hahaha if we could we d leave a comment about missing Tom 😭😭😭
Yeah , Utah is absolutely our favorite. Love your adventures. Thanks for taking us along

Awww so bittersweet saying goodbye to Tom but hopefully you guys will catch up again soon! Made me nervous thinking someone was going to get stuck in peekaboo I definitely couldnt squeeze through those canyons. Its getting sadder for your videos to end they never feel long enough lol I am glad to have found your channel thru Eva.

Welcome to Utah. I wish you safe travels, and thank you for highlighting my beautiful state. I have enjoyed watching your adventures with Albatross.
Thank you very Martin for taking the time to let us know! it is super motivating!
you guys have really impoved wiht your editing, This video has good audio quality, very good scenes of nature and land scape as well as a soft background sound. keep it up
Thank you Yasir!
What an adventure you three have had. I have a sneaking feeling you will find a way to connect up to Tom again. I'm in love with all the National Parks in Utah....to bad you don't have a little more time to enjoy each one. What a life!
True! But we came 6 years ago already and we will come back in the future
Absolutely beautiful adventures!
Thank you David
Really like the Utah videos. I hope you come back again someday. You seemed so happy there
Yes we love it! On the place to come back to list
Utah is magnificent, it was cold but on the other hand no people around, summer time it is so crowded. Love to watch your adventure, stay safe.
Yes you are right maybe is better
Awesome video as always. Good luck on your journey around the world. Prayers for y'all from Georgia USA.
Thank you Christopher!
oh it’s sad to say goodbye to Tom, but should be looking forward for you guys together again, hope with Eva too… it will be fun to watch four of you!!!.. safe travels!!.. watching your videos every week… ❤🙏🙌
Thank you so much Pei! Yes would be so fun to gather up again!

Hope you'll be back, Nick, Mathilde, and Tom! I love you all. Take care...
Thank you Andrew! I think we will!
I have fear of heights and tight spots. Some very scary spots. Great video! Thanks for showing!!
Hahaha yes some of those places might not be for you. Thank you for watching !
I love how you grow! Amazing video,, Utah is in my wishlist. Tom is a great traveling partner, I hope you will met again somewhere. And I'm happy you will have a trip with Eva in Mexico. I think she need good companions, and you are lovely. Thanks guys and good luck!
Thank you Andya it is awesome out here
Love this episode, love those aerial shots. Been to Utah, but didn't get to those beautiful landscapes from the air. Great post guys
Thank you Hamid!!!!
Great Video, great adventure! Utah is awesome! See you soon !
UTAH IS THE BEST !!!
All hail to Tom and Jerry! Tom is a true gentleman, a wise soul and a great friend.
He is the best !
Great video guys! Good call on calling it a day on Top of The World. Video always doesn’t do it justice on how big of a wall that was 😆. It only gotten worse towards the top too due to the snow. Mountain biking looks fun 👌🏽
Thank you guys! Yes maybe it was possible but well… another time! Congrats though!
Omg those views of Capital Reef with the views of the Henry Mountains in the background, one of my favorite places in the world, but rough country on the mountains. There are free ranging bison on the Henry's (fyi).
Ofc I love Utah, I love the contrasts of the mountain and the desert which can be done all in a day.
Great video guys!
It is incredible! some of those places are not in the parks and are just insane !!!
Awwwww! I will miss Tom too! Wonderfully nice guy! Great adventures in Utah! Loved the slot canyon hike! I did one in Death Valley, California! My most memorable hike!
So much fun those hikes! If we come back to Utah we ll do that
Also good idea on showing in warmest part of the day. I had wondered how the shower situation would be
We have warm water after driving so we could also in the evening but at some point that was also hard hahahah
Very cool places really amazing, a hug for you Nick and Matilde and Tom take care 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Lucio ! As usual!!!!
Thanks for the memories! Hiking Spooky and Peekaboo was a highlight for me. Awesome place to part your ways...it's avgreat pub and amazing owners! See ya down the road Tom!
Yes that day was the best ! Canyoneering and pub! Best combo
See ya Tom. Safe travels.
😍
Ok you crazy kids...Driving Albatross to The Top of The World...Eating Campbells Soup and then crawling around a place so narrow, I would never fit, and saying goodby to our Hero Tom, who has been a great friend indeed..WHAT an adventure...
Hahahah yes too much in one week right?
@@NextMeridianExpedition Memories that will last a life time..
So good..thanks for sharing these amazing landscapes and your adventures, such good videos.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Frances!
A beautiful gem. See you later Tom, have fun!
Thank you Mountain Man!
Till you meet again.
Cheers to all of you. 🍷&🍺
Ouiii! looking forward seeing him again one day!
our iPad is too small to show your awesome video. We switched on our big TV flat screen with sound bar. Very impressiv, we know Moab well and the pleasure is huge to see it again with your point of view. Have a nice and safe trip, see you next week 😊
Oooih that is awesome! Thank you for always being so supportive
Safe travels to see Tom depart,hope you meet up again,Utah is so beautiful,take care and safe travels ❤️
Wile will thank you Malcolm!
@@NextMeridianExpedition ❤️❤️
You are a mad beautiful wild bunch, what a breathtaking landscape. It is a shame to see you parting but such is life. Here is my prediction " Tom will be back, his broken heart will not mend itself until you are all together again" till then travel safe and don't break down. See you all soon.
For sure!!!
Impressive!!! Great video :D
that makes us happy if you enjoyed it!
I missed a few videos and see you met up with Tom again!!!! Has he conquered the Defender baked potato yet!!?? Lol! And I agree he should consider the odd upload! We would all watch!
hahahahah SO funny you bring that up! no, still no baked potato. I did tell Tom he needs to figure it out and send us the footage!!!! hahahah
@@NextMeridianExpedition great idea! He doesn't seem like the type who would do it himself, so sending you the odd footage is a fabulous idea! We have all grown to love him through your adventures together!!!
great to see you both on tour
🙏🏻☺️
I used to live in Cedar City, I’m glad you enjoyed Utah. It is a gem. For sure.
Incredible, we d need 6 months to go around in details hahaha
Great video guys , Always my favorite you do a great job. The narrow canyon was freaking me out a bit , I could never do that , far too claustrophobic. But when you get to the Grand canyon , if you will , you will see both ends of the spectrum. Barely squeezable to as vast as can be imagined. Stay safe , see you next time.
Thank you 🙏🏻 we did not go this time to the Grand Canyon but we went few years back and I think you describe the feeling of it so much better than anything I would have said … it is totally like that
Beautiful place. We had a road trip from Grand Canyon to Bryce and Capital Reel last year.
Tom is such an awesome guy. Safe travels! ❤️From Salt Lake City, UT. 😊
Thank you Bee! Such a nice trip you guys did
Beautiful footage!
Thank you Joni!
sad to see yall part ways. it must've been nice for tom to have friends along the journey since he's doing his roadtrip solo. im sure your guys paths will cross again soon!
We hope soooo! Hopeful
Woww, Amazing place, hope u have nice day, god bless you, greeting!
Thank you friend!!!
Like #1, directly from Brazil.
Like to Brazil!!!!
Great video !! enjoy and say Hi to tom He was a great part of it too!!
Totally! Thank you Rob!
merci pour le 20 minutes d'évasion!!
Merci d avoir regarde!
TOM....Till we meet again, CHEERS. It has been fun too meet you CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.
oooh we will share this with him
Cool video thanks for sharing! Cheers 🍕🍕🧔
Cheers! Thanks for watching
Thank you for these videos! Well done!!
Btw the song at the end?
Such rugged beauty that you can see from the road. I never imagined Utah had such landscapes .
As you know I’m going back to watch your videos from the start of your world tour and I would love to know what month it was when it starts to become dark early or temperatures drop or snow arrives in the various places. I don’t know if many people watch back issues like me, but I wonder if it might be a worthwhile idea to occasionally mention what month it is in the different countries you are visiting as you go along? Just a thought
Jackie
You are right, maybe I should then add in description the dates of filming of the video. That specific one was filmed in November.
Defenders, mountain bikes, 2 out of 3 of my favorite things to do. All you're missing is back country skis to make it 3 of 3. 😁
Omg! We do back country ski! But not here hahaha not enough storage to bring the equipment! But back in france we did!
Awn!!! Sad to see Tom and Jerry leaving. You guys are a great inspiration, anxious to the next episode.
If you guys don't mind, could you share Tom's channel or any other way to follow him as well, couldn't find it anywhere 🤷♂️
Thank you Ryan ! You can follow Tom on Instagram @touring_tom
I absolutely love your videos. You guys have inspired us to do our own expeditions (but on a much smaller scale😊). Please tell me who makes the soft storage bag strapped to Albatross’s bonnet.
Yesss ! Nice adventures! Ooooh the box. It is a guber I think. A German brand.
For the cold, look into a heated vest or a heated shirt. It's great for when you're just sitting around and losing heat otherwise. Makes a big difference especially when it gets that cold.
Ooooh! Never tried those 😍😍😍 we shall next time
Awesome!! Love the video and will have to head that way sometime. How is that air filter on the snorkel works for you and what kind is it? I have a safari snorkel but want the dust collector on it like you have . Cheers !
Hi William, we like it a lot because it takes a second to unhook the cap and another second to clean it. We have the air one it is super convenient.
Utah you can see why they filmed a lot of westerns there .
Incredible
You should have made smores with 3 easy ingredients (marshmellows, chocolate bar (hersheys) and gram crackers) ... that beats anything around the camp fire.
hmmm true we did not think about it!
I don't like the tomato soup, but my husband loves it with equal parts soup and milk. He likes to eat it with Cheeze-Its thrown in or a grilled cheese sandwich on the side.
We like tomatoe soup but maybe not this one! But was cool to try!
I’ll go back and watch later. I got claustrophobic in the first few seconds. 😅
I could never stand those tight spots. There is a true to life movie where a young guy got trapped in a similar area and he had to cut his leg off to get out while he held his head above flooding waters rushing through the cracks.
@@passingthroughtime3033 Yeah, you couldn’t pay me enough. I’d die for sure if I had to cut a limb off. I don’t see how anyone can manage that.
I watched these guys explore something similar but it was underground. The guy in front got wedged in an area and the water was piling up in front of him. Thank God he wasn’t alone, and his buddies were able to pull him out. The thought of getting stuck and wedged underground is enough to make me have to take deep breaths. These guys have got some kahunas for sure. I like exploring, but I need to be able to have a few feet of unrestricted space around me. 😂
@@EricT3769 Yes I'm Exactly the same as you. I could never crawl through caves and squeeze through cracks. The movie is called "127 hours" it's a true story but it was his arm he cut off to free himself from flash floods in that exact area.
@@passingthroughtime3033 I’ve heard about it, but I’ve never seen the movie.
@@EricT3769 You can watch clips on TH-cam.
How about Tom and Jerry where he is? oh Tom i thought only Nick ride a bike. Take care both hehehhe hope your paths will cross again.
He is all good! He is in Arizona atm !
Hey!!! you two (you and Grizzlynbear Overland) choose L.L. Murphy's "Drive By". Same inspiration😀? anyway very good choice!!!
Hahaha it was not made in purpose did not even watch some of their latest episodes! Pure chance. But we get our music from the same plateform so it would make sense there are overlaps sometimes
It's sad to see Tom leave
It is 🥲
With that mustache, Tom does look a bit like his namesake.
🤣🤣
We got lots of biking in Colorado but Moab is known for off road biking
Yes there seem to be great trails in Colorado
Oh! You should have gone. Be fearless. That car is able to handle quite a lot... Maybe if you'd gone with a group of cars with drivers who had experience with such driving... If you had gotten in trouble you could have also called Matts Off Road Recovery or Trailmater (who are based in the area). A little collab with some other TH-camrs...
Yes we felt it would have been possible but we really could not offer any issue and were not sure what to expect after. We passed a group of off-roader who went a bit further and told us snow piled up and they had difficulty, it is okay! Next time!
How do you guys shower when its negative degrees? And water freezes
We have installed a system to warm our water tank when we are driving. So far we warmed the water high enough while driving to ensure the tank does not freeze and that allows us to take warm showers.
should have used toms 110 and took the sand ladders bet its half the weight of albatross then the pics would have been fantastic but safety is key and no damage is best shame toms parted but i thin your paths will x again more than once who knows you could even bump into the crazy dog lady and vilk lol
👍
👍👍👍
Pro Soup Tip: You HAVE to mix your Campbell's Tomato Soup with milk, not water. It's SO bad with water, and SO much better with milk.
Haaaaaaa thanks for the pro tip!!!!
Espero conocerlos a los tres en Colombia. Sinceramente.
Nos encantaria ! En la primavera seriamos en Colombia
Mathilde are you happy with your Rab jacket? wich model u have? TX
I love it ! And it is my second one. I had one before for 10 years! And I wanted to change for something even warmer so I sold it cause it had still very good condition to get the new one. Not only they re great but they sell well as second hand. I can t find the model anymore but it is something like their Positron model. I upgraded for something really warm for the trip and it is like walking in a sleeping bag. Nick steals it even sometimes 😅
@@NextMeridianExpedition thank you and safe trip,nos vemos
@@NextMeridianExpedition Can you tell me the model name? TX
Hello. We were the group you met on the trail on your way back. You could have just tag along with us going up on the Top of the World and we could have help you going up. Yeah, the wall of rock was intimidating but we had good spotters that helped us climbed the wall. Here is the video we had, and Ray even mentioned you guys in his video, th-cam.com/video/NPWD6J21Gz0/w-d-xo.html. Nice meeting you guys😊👍
Good job guys! yes we think that was possible, but our car being 3 tons and our house for the years to come, we don't want to risk it. great we will go check it out!
@@NextMeridianExpedition Good luck to you guys.
A Defender goes everywhere. If you did not have bad slopes on the left side, then YOU failed, unfortunately. ;)
totally agreed! WE decided not to go further cause our car is 3 tons and our house for the next 4 years :)
I was raised on Campbell's soup, but my wife won't let me eat them because they have so much salt and it raises my blood pressure. There are 2.5 servings in a can. Each serving has 480mg of sodium. A typical man should keep his intake under 2300mg. So, if a man ate one can of Campbell's Tomato soup, he would get half his quota. If he has high blood pressure, he should keep his sodium as low as possible.
All can soup has high salt. I'm on blood pressure medication. I'm not suppose to eat any can soup.
Yes it did taste very salty! Hahaha we just wanted to try them! They are kind of iconic for us but had never tried!
Yes it did taste very salty! Hahaha we just wanted to try them! They are kind of iconic for us but had never tried!
@@passingthroughtime3033 Just curious. How high was your blood pressure? Mine goes between 140-160 or so. Would they prescribe meds for that? I know today they like it to be under 120. I'm 73 and my wife doesn't want me to have any salt except what is in food naturally. Everything else is "no salt".
@@passingthroughtime3033 When I go to McDonalds and have a McChicken, a medium fries, and a soft drink, it takes 24 hours for my blood pressure to return to normal. My wife said before I started being careful with salt, my blood pressure was over 180. I don't know. Maybe i conveniently forgot.
Tom we are going to miss you! Do you have a channel we can follow you?
Please let us know, you are definitely a good friend.
Hi Dominique ! He can be followed on Instagram on @touring_tom
What do you think, slow erosion or a series of massive floods?
Ooooh no idea… would have said slow erosion spontaneously
@@NextMeridianExpedition It's still under consideration, but it's possible glacial melt water was held back behind ice dams in ancient times. When those ice dams broke formations like those, and the simulator formations in Zion National Park could have been formed.
From the satellite photos, you can see the area from Bryce canyon National Park all the way to the Grand Canyon is one formation. Including Canyonlands National Park, and everything in between.
It's possible they were formed by one ice age monster flood.
It's fun to speculate.
One thing I did learn at Zion National Park. You don't want to go down in those tight canyons when there's even one cloud in the sky.
A flash flood would be bad.😎
@@markmitchell457 so interesting 🤯 j m curious how a giant flood would make this happen but the ice makes total sense. Wish we d understand geology a bit better cause it helps understand how exceptional some of those place are. As for the rain yes! The scariest is that a rain hundreds of km ago could actually cause trouble …
@@NextMeridianExpedition At Bryce Canyon they have a handmade 3d topographic display in the visitor center that makes you think it might be possible. Arizona is downhill from Idaho.
When will you publish new videos from Mexico
Hi! We have two weeks delay on actual travel time so crossing into Mexico comes up this Saturday!
Hi! We have two weeks delay on actual travel time so crossing into Mexico comes up this Saturday!
21°F ain't cold unless ya got lots of wind
Haha. It is when you live In Louisiana!
@@EricT3769 no cause it never goes below 73 °F there
Yes we agree and for just a week or two it is fine. For us it s more that it has been several weeks straight we were only in the cold. And living in the car you are always outside so you don’t warm up as much as when you go home.
@@NextMeridianExpedition true we just had 40 to 60 mph winds here in metro Denver but most snow has melted but maybe more snow next week...bet warmth will be a welcome word for you guys
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Haha. 73 is lovely. We do occasionally get into the low 20s, but that’s only during mid winter and only at night. The only thing good about it getting below freezing is it takes care of the mosquitoes. 😂
you'll meet up with tom again. trail "families" always reunite🤠
Always!!!
love your channel- love from from Birmingham - UK - Good luck guys. Tom seems such a sweet person
Thank you!!! Tom is the best person!
Coulmbia Is a very dangerous country. The U.S. gov't has a level 3 travel advisory issued on Oct 4th 2022, which means to reconsider travel plans. The highest is level 4. I would take a boat from Panama to Equador if I was you. See Travel.state. gov
There are also travel warnings to Mexico.
