    The fact that yall have custom vehicles in your intro is crazy! I appreciate the little details you add ❤

    Was anyone else waiting for Allison to say "Surprise- we bought a train!" ? I think my favorite part though was when they closed up Clementine to leave her and Ruby. That chunk sound the door makes reminds me so much of the pickup camper we used to have.

    This is turning out to be a classic Alison and Eric road trip adventure! Yay, I've missed these type of episodes! It's like we've timewarped back 5 years 🙂

    I started watching you guys at the beginning of the pandemic, and I continue to watch you. You both are so funny, and love Allison, she's so funny! My wife and I are planning to go to Alsaka, and from your vlogs, it looks like it will be worth a trip from our home in Florida. I enjoy you both very much!

      I recommend the very last week of May to come visit if you are going to be traveling around the state of Alaska. You will still get to see the snow on top of the mountains, less crowds, everything is open for tourists, and weather is starting to get warm (for Alaska).

    It looked like a frickin postcard! What a gorgeous trip! I love it. We would love to visit Alaska - someday for sure. And hey, when the train broke down, at least you didn't have to fix it. Have fun!

  • @trailingarm63
    @trailingarm63 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Not a massive fan of long train rides but you made it fun. Denali looks interesting, I wonder if it's a full-blown town or just a railway terminus? Alaska's an amazing place but the shortness of summer and length of winter would get to me if I lived there for long. You caught it right for the fall colours but you can tell by the light the snow's not far off. Cheers!

    • @alienz7595
      @alienz7595 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Denali is a tourism place only open in the summer, however where they had there meal at 49th brewery that is the town of Healy and people live there year round.

    • @audreybottomly8321
      @audreybottomly8321 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey I'm from AK, & my dad used to work for the railroad up there. Denali is referred to as the general area, the park & the little town. The town mostly consists of tourist stuff,restraints, lodging etc. Theres some great smaller lodging just a few miles from the town too. The park's bus rides can be cool but really long.

    While in Denali you must visit the Prospector's Pizzeria & Alehouse!

    Did you take drone footage of the train while it was moving with you on it? If so you must be a very capable drone pilot.

    Every time I watch one of your videos, it makes my day.
    You're very down to earth and I love that about your videos, funny, well made, and they are just great!

    Back in the early 80's I rode a train from Clear, AK that we flagged down to stop and pick up our Air Force inspection team that just evaluated the operations of a remote radar station, and took the train all the way to Anchorage. What a blast.

    I’m so jealous!!! My parents and I had planned to visit my sister, my brother-in-law, and their baby in Alaska last month. Unfortunately, my mom and I came down with COVID, so, we weren’t able to. It was such a bummer.

    The Alaska train to Denali. It sounds like a title to a mystery with you two as the sleuths that solve the "who-dun-it". That looked like.a fun trainride, especially with all the beer. BTW, I have friends in the medical field that live in various states and stay in Alaska for a month or two then return home to visit then back to Alaska. They LOVE it there!.

    It's strange standing between the train coaches. I worked on the overnight train from Aberdeen to London. If you stand in one coach the other coach seems to be the only one moving. Swap coaches and it appears it the other!!😂

    I'd guess on a train you could say "rolling out" -- but, love your sense of humor! Love your gold star ride. Looks like you had the train to yourself. The river flowing North does look trippy. Fall does look like the best time to visit
    Denali. Thanks for the tip1

    Alison, can confirm if you add enough garnish to a Bloody Mary, it is technically a salad. This fact was pointed out to me by a server in New Orleans when I questioned my choice of a Bloody Mary instead of lunch.
