I love love love watching storms...lots of wind,thunder and lightning, it makes me feel alive....really enjoy storms and I’m not afraid of them since edmonton had a tornado and I helped out with injured people and animals but it was amazing the things Mother Nature can come up with.
After the last video, where you were magnet fishing, I asked my husband if he had seen that video. He told me that he had. I asked him if he thought it was cool, he said yes. I said “ Good our kit will be here Friday!” We haven’t gotten to use it yet, but I think it will be fun! Love this area you are in now. We have never been there but hope to see it all soon. Safe travels.
Bought mine last year after watching tons of magnet fishing videos. It is lots of fun. Try dragging it thru the sand where people have sat looking for lost jewelry and around picnic tables too.
Sound was pretty good outside, under the circumstances.
always point the front end or tail end into the wind. less surface to overturn you.
I LOVE your videos. So professional and creative. I appreciate the time and thought that goes into them. Being in lock down in a assited living group home, I live vicariously through you on the road. At 75 I planned on going full time but unfortunately health issues changed my plans. So thank you for you channel and efforts. I'm in florida a former cast member, photographer for Mickey himself.
That mic handled like a champ. Be safe hoss!!
very impressive.
Agreed
I thought it did really well.
Yes worth every penny $
@MoreToKnowShow it's a awesome mic
Wyoming is windy! Be careful. Once when I took Amtrak through Wyoming, I lost count of how many containers I saw by the tracks that had blown off of the double-stack trains. Even the prong horns were bedded down with their butts turned to the wind! You and Jax take care.
Are used to live in Wyoming now I’m in Arizona and they said the wind does not blow in Wyoming it sucks in Nebraska
After watching your videos for the past 5 or 6 years I bought my first rv today. Thanks for the inspiration Eric!!
Totally awesomeness! Congrats!
In extremely high winds it is a good idea to bring in your slides to reduce your wind resistance and keep the topper above your slide from flapping and getting damaged. You are one of the few people, maybe the only one we watch, who actually pronounces "potable" correctly! Thank you.
Man you are living the dream
Fantastic time lapse on the clouds! Beautiful area to stay overnight but that wind was crazy! Absolutely love that Mickey blanket...what a great price! Great video Eric, I really enjoyed it! Safe travels! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊
I was in Gillette,WY one night when the thunder was so intense car alarms were going off.
I remember traveling through Wyoming with my folks one time from Yakima. One part of it the sky was almost black with an eerie yellow cast to it, the clouds were so low they looked like they would touch the freeway. Another time, we stayed overnight in Cheyenne, it was in July, well, when we left the motel that morning it was super windy and so cold that there were actually a few flurries of snow, we had to put on warmer clothes. You just never know what the weather will be like there, same with parts of Montana, but they are beautiful states.
I do not like high winds at all, they scare me and I can't sleep if it is during the night.
I don't do heat well at all, my husband does not mind it, but I like it in the 70's. I am from America, but moved to New Zealand when I married a Kiwi. Some parts are very warm and others just right. Our area has temps and climate similar to Santa Barbara California.
Love the Micky Mouse stuff, that blanket will look cute on a wall.
Looking forward to your next video. My husband and I love all of them. Be safe.
Rain-X, dude...the Pacific Northwest Windshield's best friend. 😆It works on my Ford Explorer, though I think you'd need a whole bottle for Miranda's windshield. Maybe two. 😄
Dot's pretzels are the best and highly addictive!
The hubby and I rode our motorcycle all around the country and what I remember about Wyoming was the red clay. We came up on road work and the workers tried to "help" by wetting the red clay down so our bike would not get dusty. Red clay when wet is real slick. By the time we got unstuck the bike and I were covered in red clay. Good times.
When you are done flushing your black and grey tank, put in about 2gallons of water with a 1/2 cup of blue dawn dish washing detergent in each tank. While driving it will clean the tanks and the contacts for your gauges. Also do that when you store your RV .
Happy Fathers Day Eric! Hopefully you'll head into some calmer weather.
I tried to start a collection of cats playing fiddles but could not find even one.
(Hey, diddle, diddle The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon...)
I did find a few cows jumping over moons and even a dish running away with a spoon but not one fiddling cat. 🤔 I'm glad you are having success with your hobby. 🙂
Love the time lapses. Keep them coming.
When my kids were little I used to tell them thunder is not to be afraid of. It’s just the angels bowling in heaven. Lightning on the other hand...you want to stay away from! I actually like to hear the wind on your microphone. We can still hear your voice fine but we feel more like we are actually there with you. Good luck on the trip ahead! Wyoming is such a beautiful state!
We just recently moved from Montana. We have a 24 ft. Coachman Leprechaun. I pass EVERYTHING while going over passes. The power is great !!
Well Wow what a place to stay. Those views were just amazing !! I think your mic worked great and I could easily hear what you were saying. No way I could sleep on a night like that. On your way to the mountains...there was hardly any trees wow. The free poop dump is fantastic and leveling right is genius. Goodwill is my favorite store. You found a gem for sure ! Tomorrow will be great. Happy travels to you. Thanks 👍👍
Born and raised in Cheyenne, WY. I call the Wyoming Wind, "Mother Nature's Cosmic Breath". I left, I'm not tough enough to live there anymore. The wind causes me to isolate myself, I now reside in beautiful Bellingham, WA. It's heaven by comparison.
We drove trucks and Wyoming wind was horrible. We have been through there and seen many trucks lying on their sides. However the worst time we had with winds was coming out of California one night on I-15 around Cajon Pass. The wind was shoving the truck and I found a area to park along with other trucks and such. The wind blasts would hit the truck so hard that I would instinctively hit my brakes though we were parked. I noticed that the truck and trailer in front of my appeared to have one side of his lights out on the back. After it got daylight I realized that their lights were working it was just that that the truck was laying on its side. Once daylight came the wind eased up enough for us to head on out.
Hearing you talk about the wind and mountains in your class A reminds me of when we had our class C . Since buying our Roadtrek , those things effect us very little . Makes the trips much more enjoyable . However on many trips across Montana , Wyoming and South Dakota on motorcycle , the winds can be a bit of a pain in the butt .
The mic was fine.
That's just a regular ole wind storm here on the Canadian prairies. It may be the Arctic Current reaching down that far south. At the intersection of the cold current of the north and the warm current of the south, there is usually strong turbulence. North-west winds mean colder weather coming (as the Arctic current moves south), and south-east winds usually means warmer weather coming (as the warm current pushes it's way North). At least, that is what I have observed.
Wow...Wyoming is a beautiful state !
Even in hurricane force winds, your mic had no distortion.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
We just spend a month in Wyoming and entered Montana today. We plan to be around Montana till then end of August then to Mitchell, SD for a conceal carry class
Isn't the weather amazing?!
My son is traveling right behind you heading for Wa also!!! As of 9AM on MOnday he and his son are in Wisconsin at the Dells...
I'm a driver, I use a product from 99cent store for my windshield.
It's the gallon windex refill, not really windex but it works amazing. Just don't dilute it. Hope this helps.
I had got caught in a flash flood when I lived in North Dakota. I saw a wall of black clouds, started to drive home, the rain hit (On) so I pulled over (could barely see) in front of a tavern but when the rain stopped (Off) I found myself in an intersection about 50 feet from where I parked. I didn't hear any splashing, just the torrent of rain hitting my car (1972 Vega).
Ammo and pretzels! Love your priorities. Safe travels...
Nice temp. At least you two made it safe and sound. Thank you for video.
I just came back from the Badlands and Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. Last Thursday night (June 18th) I slept at the campsite in a tent and the temperature dropped down to the 40's so maybe the weather you are talking about is part of the weather I ran into. The wind seemed to be around 30 MPH. Thanks for your videos.
Rain water blowing all under my hood and I knew that was doing my motor good.
Happy Fathers Day (Jax) dad!
Kudos for riding out that storm. I don't do well in high winds. Nice Mickey blanket too.
I sure miss the thunderstorms I used to live in Oklahoma and I moved to California and it don't really storming here thanks so much Eric for the videos keep up the good work give Jax some love from me you guys take care and be careful
I love thunderstorm's from inside of course. There's nothing like putting in a good movie snuggling in the coach and listen to the storm.
That was some scary wind. I would not have slept at that night either. Love the Mickey blanket! Great idea about putting it on the wall behind your shelf.
The Walmart there in Sheridan is a Great place to part too.
And that is just your Typical welcome to Wyoming rain storm. They come FREQUENTLY
I believe the purple colored windshield wiper fluid will do wonders with removing the bug carcass. Don't know why.
Part of travel is the different situations you find. Safe travels and bellyrubs for Jax. Cool video.
Beautiful place.
Thank you for bringing us along Eric.
Great video.
Weather weather
That Micky throw looks new. Great find ! Thanks for sharing your journey .
The time lapse photography in Wyoming was amazing.
The wind is fierce in Wyoming! It can rain and snow sideways! Great Mickey finds! The case could be used for Disney pins. There was no wind noise with the microphone but I could hear it and see the RV rocking. Safe travels Eric and Jax!
Those time lapse sky shots are great I love that!
Winds in a house scare me. 70's...53 degrees...❤. 104 going to 111 in 2 days, low humidity. Over 104 for a week. 😭
Yep. My van is parked in them thar mountains and LOVIN' the cool weather!!!
Enjoyed this, thanks Eric.
Wyoming wind sock, a pole with a heavy piece of chain. If you have never been to Wyoming, the wind can't be completely explained, it feels like one big gust for days. Straight line winds that aren't broken up by anything, trees, hills, etc.
this is so much cooler than the 90's that we are having...I think we should head North soon
I love Montana - big sky country!
Beautiful part of the country. Where I wish i was. Tks
I can’t even imagine having a compost toilet! Yuk!
Ha Ha, gotta love our Wyoming wind.
I used to make that run about once a month when I lived in Sheridan WY. I would head to Billings Montana and load up on stuff that wasn't too available in Sheridan. Keep having fun.
Mic worked great. That throw looks new. If you are ever in Laramie, and have time to kill, Bart's Flea Market is a fun place to stop. When my husband drove truck, he'd stop there every trip thru. We'd leave 25 north of Denver on 287 . It's a really interesting area. Bart's is on 287 just south of 80. Thank you for another interesting visit. And a late congratulations on the purchase of your adorable home. Jax seems to like the space. He's such a laid back cat. Except when you interrupt his bodily functions😁😸
Always fun riding shotgun with you guys...
Thanks for the ride👍
Time lapse was awesome. Wind and Wyoming is a normal day. Parking on top of the hill made the wind worse.
you should use Rainx for the windshield. Wash and then use several coats to help with the bugs and your wipers.
Not sure if you were joking about getting ammo or not. If you do have and carry a firearm in your RV can you share some of your experiences with that? Without getting political, I'm interested especially in what restrictions apply and what are safe/best practices for keeping and transporting a firearm especially in an RV and from state to state. Thanks for your and anyone else's useful comments.
Wow that video time lapse was awesome! You are a professional! Beautiful!
I go to Goodwill all the time. Find amazing things for the house there. I’ve also found great clothing there, too. In Florida. I wish it was 52 degrees here.
We’ve noticed there’s a lot of wind that rocks our RV since we moved to the mountains
there's no reason to be afraid of storms, lightning travels near the speed of light, you won't know if it hits you, likewise thunder travels at the speed of sound, i just say "You missed me" when i hear it.
I would definitely hate driving in that area with my RV! I-40 is always like that too. But to clear up a comment you made - hurricane force winds are 74mph+ not 60s. Still nothing to disregard!! I have had less gust blow my pool umbrellas into the pool! Stay safe!!
Score on that Mickey fleece throw... thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing... stay safe
Got stuck in a snow storm in cheyenne wy in june a few years ago. Crazy weather there. Be safe
So glad you finally got into cooler temps!
Sweet Mickey blanket find. Goodwill has always been a great place for bargains. Throughout the years I’ve found many a brand new clothing item along with a delightful cookbook to add to my limited collection. Also a great place to stock up on candles for hurricane season or simply to add that soft evening glow to one’s camper. 🚌
The Mickey Fleece Priceless!
The time lapse was off the charts! ❤️
I love your upbeat attitude. Good video.
Great video, glad you are out and about again...
Glad you got the cooler temperatures y'all take care and be safe and we'll see you soon
I use rainx on windshield and dont even need wipers most of time :)
Wow, the scenery and weather in this!!
OMG, that Mike is killin it
70380 we get a week of rain forecasted. Morgan City La.
Your RV site should come with tie down straps.
Political climate, I think I would avoid the Left coast ; especially if I appeared to have means.
53° burr. 70380 Today rainy, 69° inside 72° outside 09:00. I turn my AC on usually April turn it off around Oct and even then need it for a few days. But the power bill for this temperature so far this year hasn't gotten over $40.
In Wyoming (I'm a native) it is not really windy until you get white caps in your toilet.
Really liked the storm time lapse. Enjoy the road and stay safe!
I was surprised that you didn't press a button and have security shutters roll down and cover the Windows for that storm.
Do they even make them for RV's. 🤔
Alaska 👍
Loved the sunset 🌇 Looked like a nice rv spot you had
I was in a storm out there on a motorcycle trip. Wicked and I mean WICKED wind. I was in a tent, not a good move.
I'm watching your storm while there is a storm going on at my place too!! What a beautiful sunset you got to see!
53 degrees what a dream to our heat and humidity of TX. Lucky You !! Can't wait to hunt the 70's.... someday....
The wind can be like that or stronger 60% or more in Yucca, Arizona & even worse during the monsoons. It comes from the west or northwest over the mountains & races through the flat desert & the dust devils can be extremely strong. The monsoons come from the south or southwest bringing thunderstorms & excessive winds one right after another. They leave washed out roads & a muddy mess everywhere.
Hey have you looked into getting a tuner for your RV? They really make the Ford V10 wake up especially on RVs. It improves the shift points and everything when you're on steep inclines and stuff.
That scenery was AWESOME!!👍😉
Love Wyoming, want to move to Jackson area some day. I love those snow capped Teton Mountains, fresh air, clean water, nature, wildlife, pine trees, lots of snow, and cool weather year round. God's country.
A hurricane's sustained wind speed is at a low of 74mph. A wind speed of 60mph is a typical summer afternoon thunderstorm in Florida. 😊
Right up my alley all the stops at Thrift Stores. :) lol. Cute Mickey throw blanket BTW! I'm itching to get back into thrifting here in IL. I want to go back to Jacksonville GW outlet so bad, but that county Morgan, has way too many COVID cases for me to feel comfortable going to the Bins there. Oh well, I've way too busy doing all the work for Ebay & Poshmark listings with all the stuff I've already thrifted. Yep I'm a thriftaholic !
Thanks for taking us inside the Good Will Thrift Store. I go once a week for the senior discount day. That Mickey Blanket is awesome! My kitties say "hi" to Jax!
Looks like fun ! Me and my son was just discussing that we wanted to go up in that direction some day in the future
I have traveled back and forth between Michigan and Oregon thru Wyoming and know about the wind.
