‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣ THIS EPISODE ‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣
Our incredible week at North Campground right on the rim of Bryce Canyon National Park had to end at some point. This site (Loop B - 40) was the best in the whole campground in our opinion, so if you are able to snag that one, you will love it!
In our 4 Stages of Solar, • DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY... ,we mentioned that we thought it was a waste of money to have portable solar panels. We are retracting that statement in this episode!
Leaving Bryce was the beginning of a mad cross-country dash in classic Nickerson style! On our way out of Utah and into Arizona, we had to stop and see the crazy water levels at Lake Powell that have dropped 98 feet in the last 5 years; and, as you can see from the photos and video from the last time we were there, it has dropped a whole lot in just the last two!
Looking out over the lake, we were reminded of one of our favorite adventures with our friends @weventuretogether when we kayaked out to the back side of Antelope Canyon, had an epic hike that may have taken too long and caused us to have to paddle back in the dark! Floating under those massive canyon walls with the full moon rising is something we and the girls will never forget!
Our “quick” stop to see Lone Rock with no water around it caused us to be late to see sunset at Horseshoe Bend... again. It doesn’t matter though. The view down to the river from Horseshoe Bend Overlook will constantly take your breath away. It is one of those places that is overwhelming every time we visit!
We restocked with an overnight stay at Walmart and headed off to Texas to meet our newest niece for the first time. We also planned on stopping at a few National Parks that we had never seen before.
TRAVEL TIP: Don’t let your lack of time keep you from stopping by a new location. Everytime we have stopped at a new place even for just an hour, we have always found adventure and made memories as a family!
Stay tuned for next week as we hit 2 new National Parks and drive an insane amount of miles! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

Apparently you do have to worry about roof solar panels being stolen. My friend was on Blm land and had to go into Quartzite for a few hours doing errands. The next day she noticed 2 solar panels were missing. There is no damage to the roof the panels were unscrewed and disconnected from the other 2 panels.
Yikes! Ours can’t be accessed to unscrew from our roof without doing some massive damage as the feet are sealed to our roof. So sorry that happened to your friend.
I am trying really hard to get back to USA to do a road trip in a small RV . As a teacher in South Africa financing a big trip is hard. BUT I am definitely going to use your videos to plan stops and thing to do/not to do. One thing for sure ....Bryce Canyon is going be make me cry, so need to get there. Thanks for awesome videos. Travel Safe
I swear there is a mini Horseshoe Bend outside of Moab in Dead Horse Point State Park. Can't wait to see the incredible photos you all get when you upgrade the camera gear.
Never heard of horseshoe Bend but will look into it now. I hope the water is still around.
Horseshoe Bend is the Colorado River and should have water! It is Lake Powell that is a reservoir that is low on water. Really hope you are able to make it SOMEDAY! It is amazing!
We made part of this trip during our Honeymoon last September and still enjoyed the water at Lone Rock Beach 👍🏻
Haha I remember when we went to Black Canyon of the Gunnison. My mom yelled Gary stay away from the edge. I thought she was crazy, but now I climb up a ladder and shake like a leaf.
another site for our bucket list... but at age 74 and 70 if we do not start soon our bucket will always be full.. a big plus is that we get to live these parks with your family. oh no Corey is a passenger once again
If everything goes as planned, my husband and I will get to see Horseshoe Bend, Bryce, Arches, and some of the other amazing places you have taken me to in your videos. Safe travels and just enjoy life.
I so love your videos, look forward to them on Sunday. You film photograph and video so good. I love seeing places through your lens literally. Thanks
We are so happy to have you joining us for the adventure! Thank you for joining us and or taking the time to comment! We really appreciate it!
The drone footage you have in your videos are speechless!!!
Wow, you’re right about Horseshoe Bend and being more commercialized. Though I am glad for those added rails- the last time we were there we had to look away after we got our family pic -a lady came up behind us next to the edge wearing slippery sandals (we could hear her slipping in the rocks/gravel)- 🫣
Wow, we were at lone rock when you were there. I recognized the blue bus about 4 spots from us and can see our rig. Even with low water, Lone Rock didn’t disappoint. We didn’t plan to stay as long as we did, but loved it! McMounts from VT!
Photography is amazing, thank you!
Enjoy White Sands My high school & college years (1964 -> 1970) were spent there. To bad they still don't have RV parking there but it's worth the stop. Carlsbad is also a very special place. Keep up the magnificent pictures and videos. You help me see things I can't hike into. 😊
I can only imagine how cool it was in the 60's and 70's at these locations! Can't wait to share our time at some of these stops in the next episode! Thanks so much for watching!
Horseshoe Bend looks beautiful, will have to add that one to my list of vacation spots!
You two look at each other so cute. This is such a beautiful video
Deb and I have "discussed" the value of a foldable panel for awhile now and this video settled it for us, thanks!! Every RVer packs what they think they need and then has to regret some of the choices. There are the things we bring that we don't need and the things we wish we had with us. I know on the Appalachian Trail they have boxes along the way where hikers leave the items they no longer feel the need to carry or they have upgraded from, and other hikers come alone to take items from the boxes that are better then the ones they have or something they forgot in the first place. By the time they reach the end of their thru hike their packs are the perfect mix of what they need to succeed. I think RVer's do the same thing as they go down the road!!
Actually the main park road is a large pirtion of old rt 66. You can go in either depending on your travel direction, then exit other gate. Stop as much as you want or just a leisurely drive thu.
Standing on a corner Winslow, AZ is nearby with lots of yummy cafes
Your music and videography is the best! So inspiring 🤗
We mounted a 620-w array on the side of our motorhome over the bedroom window. It doubles as a great awning too. It uses gas struts to lift itself into place, easy peasy. We just pin it to the correct angle for maximum solar production. A liftable solar array will provide at least 20% more power than a flat, roof mounted array, (more in the winter) plus it's easy to clean with a windshield squeegee so there's no need to climb on the roof to raise it, clean it or put it away for travel. The problem with a portable array is that you have to put it up when you leave your RV (just like you would a portable generator) so it doesn't get stolen. This limits your solar production to the hours you are in your RV. So, when you are away sightseeing beautiful Bryce during the day, you're not getting any output out of it, and when you get back to camp, if you're like us, it's usually too late in the day to put it out.
Awesome thanks for sharing
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏
Love you videos! No bad advice just your opinion. We think you give helpful information.
You had us at "Out West." The music you were using as you were pulling into the Walmart was my kind of music. Always leave a reason to go back.
Always an adventure when we are "Out West"! And that Walmart song is a favorite! Thanks for being here, friends!
Amazing shots from Horseshoe Bend
We really enjoy your videos, keep em coming.
Thank you so much for being here with us!🙌
We have family in Alton Utah made the drive from Milton Florida to Utah last year in our class c RV beautiful road trip.Thank you again for the awesome videos and God Bless y’all,stay safe.
Consider adding Chiricahua National Monument to one of your trips, Ft Bowie is also near there 1.5. mile hike to the Ft and then 1.5 miles bak easy hike. Ft was there to protect Apache Springs for the Mail and passenger Butterfield Stage, you hike past the ruins of the stagecoach station and past Apache Springs water just comes straight out o a rock in the mountain. I you like Bryce you'll love Chiricahua NM. And un little town of Tombstone is only about 40 miles away
Thank you so much for watching and for your recommendation! Sounds awesome!
I really loved hearing how you helped back him up. I have never been the best at that and I wanna come back and watch this. It actually is helpful for me
Bryce Canyon is on our list for this coming year!
Once again another great informative video. We are currently hiking the trails in Sedona. We did White Sands one week ago, absolutely beautiful. People sliding downhill on saucers like it was snow. Fantastic Enjoy! The elevation really affected us in Ruidoso, NM, 7200 ft, but then we are senior citizens, not sure if that makes the difference as first time for us. We are looking forward to visiting Bryce next week , safe travels!
Been to Carlsbad cave it was huge, I think y’all will love it. Great videos!
Can’t wait to make this trip as well!
7:54 Masterclass in communication right here. Congratulations you two!
Beautiful and Breathtaking! I watch weather on the micro and macro levels and one thing I’ve learned over the years is whatever is forecasted, the weather doesn’t tell or care what time it is! 😂😊
Such a true statement! Take all weather reports with a grain of salt! 😂
My wife wanted to stop at Horseshoe Bend but in September it was in the mid 90’s so we are saving that for next time. Thanks for all the great photos. Did you enjoy the roller coaster ride from Page to Flagstaff? Jesse thanks for slipping in that site number at Bryce :)
Hope you guys are able to catch it in cooler temperatures, and you are very welcome! 😉 - Jess
You will really like Carlsbad. It’s so neat to go below ground and see all the stalactites and stalagmites
Well, where to start! I have seen you guys off and on as I follow LJMJ…and the other day I thought…” why am I not following these guys?” So here I am and loving your channel💕…and be ause I love it so much I decided to watch you guys from the beginning…Im currently in Alaska with you and FYI, Im a Cnuck and have loved the Banff/LL/Jasper vids…so glad I found you all💕💕✝️✝️💕💕
Love following along on your channel!
Sweet reveal at horseshoe as your time lapse of the trail out to there. As always...thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for sharing.
❤
Thanks for the ride! I can get there through your videos. 🥰
Enjoy all of your videos!!!
I grew up in southern New Mexico, White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns are special places. Hope you get to both. I really enjoyed this video. I need to get down to Utah and explore that area.
Thanks for joining us tonight. We can't wait to share what we were able to do on our quick trip across the country!
Thank you for such an awesome beautiful video once again!!
Nice seeing Bikes out and about again.
I really liked that dramatic music you used when you first showed horseshoe bend. "I'm Mary Poppins y'all."
Another great episode! Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from Sacramento CA 🌞
My hubby and I always enjoy your videos. He surprised me with donuts because I mentioned that you guys always get them!🍩
Wishing you happy and safe travels.
Great video! Many years ago we drove all night from Albuquerque to Page and was at the rim for sunrise. Seeing Horseshoe Canyon appear from dark to sunrise light was absolutely spectacular.
We haven't done sunrise at Horseshoe Bend, but it needs to be on the list with donuts and coffee! Thanks for watching!
Best videos ever. Love the scenery and the quality filming. You guys are great.
Night time photography (astrophotography). You already have a good camera. You need a good intensifer filter, sturdy tripod, good battery, remote, a star chart, flash light (w/red light option), and good tread shoes....LOL (got to watch out for scorpions, spiders, and snakes).
Horseshoe Bend is gorgeous, makes for an excellent place for sunset, and night photography. You need night time hot chocolate when taking night pictures.
I hope y'all were able to go to White Sands, and enjoyed the park. We always get great pictures of family on the sand dunes when that sun hits the white sand, and you have the blue sky, and clouds in the back ground. My husband was stationed at Holloman AFB next to White Sands, and Alamorgordo, and he still has family living in the basin there.
Safe travels with the weather acrossed the U.S.!
I can promise you that White Sands is fantastic.
Wow, has it really been two years since that trip?!? Time flies, and like I always mention you are welcome to stop at our house if your near the Memphis area - 50amp service avail and water with plenty of land to stretch out on; can't forget about the fiber WiFi.
Safe travels and happy camping!
We are currently in Quartzsite, AZ. Thinking of going hours out of our way to see Horseshoe Bend on our way back to Ohio in April. ❤❤ Karen and Greg
Great video again!!! We just went to all these parks this past summer, but definitely want to go back someday. I know it was cold when you were there but I think that was actually a wise time to go. It was brutally hot when we were there which limited the hikes I wanted to do.
P.S. When we met you at the FRVTA show I almost took a pic of you in your checkered Van slides but didn't want to seem weird!!! Mostly because we chuckle at all you do in them.
That view never gets old 🥰Safe Travels ❤️
We feel exactly the same way!
I’m always a little disappointed when your episodes come to an end!! 😉 keep them coming!! Thanks for sharing such great content!!
I feel you Corey, part of my wedding vows was no more jumping out of airplanes or off of mountains. Some of my friends still think I'm nuts for the hiking, mountain climbing, and kayaking I do, but compared to when I was young I'm SO not a risk taker =)
I'm sure you had a great time in Carsbad. The caverns are amazing. The bat flight is epic!!
At 15:41 when the man started singing, I seriously thought that was Corey singing 😂. I was like, well alright! Go ahead Corey😂😂
Such beautiful scenery! We love getting to see all of these amazing places you all visit and love to add them to our list of places we need to visit!
I like the way you travel - scope it out and revisit
Sometimes that is the best way for us to make a plan and figure out what and when we want to film in a location! Thanks for watching!
I was in A Loop #30 in July 2021. Always an amazing adventure at Bryce. I have never been there when the weather cooperated. Three times. Snow....mud so bad hiking was impossible, and this time severe thunderstorms and flash floods. One day.....
Absolutely beautiful video! Your editing & drone footage is amazing! Continued safe travels to you all!
Been to all of this multiple times and absolutely love it like you! We kayaked the Colorado River around Horseshoe Bend last time and it was amazing! Nice video!
just got to day that yall have the best videos on youtube......great filming and editing....love watching them
Beautiful country. But, I also like the road trip...day on the life of on the road. But, also your videos are good. Great photography. Blessings
Your family sounds like mine. "Don't stand on that ledge". " Don't lean over so far". "Are you still alive?". That last one was when I had to shimmy across a 1 foot ledge to get around a cliff across from Dead Horse State Park to retrieve my drone that I just crashed. We went to Page and totally missed Horse Shoe Bend! Next time.
As always such good video quality. As my wife and I have been watching the last few weeks we have realized we did the exact same route at pretty much the exact time.
Really appreciate your kind words! Thank you both for watching! We are so excited that you guys have gotten to see some of these incredible places for yourselves!
Valentine's Day Giveaway! Would love a loveseat!! 💙
Another great video. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being first commenter this video!
Love your conversation
Great video!
I was at Horseshoe bend on October twenty third. I would be great to meet you guys. Maybe someday our paths will cross.
I was hatched in Corpus Christi. Dang near hatched on Corpus Christi bay. Mom decided to go fishing on that fateful day, and I guess I wanted to also.
Greetings from chilly South Dakota. Great video, especially the drone following you, that was cool! Sale travels :-)
WE HOUSE BOATED 4 DAYS AT LAKE POWELL YRS AGO. IT WAS FABULOUS. ONE NIGHT WE SLEPT ON THE ROOF OF THE HOUSE BOAT AND HAD A ONCE IN A LIFE EXPERIENCE AS A GIANT METEOR WENT ROLLING ACROSS THE SKY VERY CLOSE TO US. WITH A GIANT TRIAGULAR YELLOW RED FLAME AT THE BACK OF IT.... I WILL NEVER FORGET
That is on our list! I can only imagine how awesome it would be to sleep out on the roof of a house boat! Love that you have such a fun memory from your trip! That is what it's all about! 🙌
Carlsbad was pretty cool you’ll enjoy it
Love your videos!!!! If you have time and are interested in visiting the Galveston/Freeport area, Blue Water Rv Resort is beautiful. We are here for the winter and we love it. There is also free camping on the beach
I have 400 on the roof and 400 portable just for that reason. Lesson learned.
Love your channel!!! How do you transport your e-bikes? We also have two of the Lectric 2.0, we fold them put each in a large tote and carry them inside the camper. They’re to tall to fit under the tonneau cover. May have to go to a topper. Thank you you all for the great content
Dude, when she is spotting you there is no reason for you to ask questions. She is Johnny On The Spot.
She definitely gets me where I need to go! 😃
Facts, not a single lie has been stated above. 😂 🤣
@@nyakundibose6972 right on
I am gonna side with Corey on this one. When backing blindly, the more eyes, the better. Since Corey is "blind," his questions become his eyes. Further he is not questioning Jessie's instructions. He is supplementing his knowledge by asking questions. Last but surely not least, it ls their practiced system. It works for them. My 2 cents.
@Jim and Ellen Meadows yes I agree. I always ask questions when my wife is backing me up, and sometimes, she actually will ask me to step out to check out the situation.
We have 1160 watts of solar on our solitude but thinking we might go ahead and get our foldable solar panel just to have
I wonder if this video was before the big storms they had a month or so ago @ Horseshoe Bend?
It was. Thanks so much for watching!
Water level at the rec area is back up
Great video! Definitely have Bryce on my bucket list!
Is that Lone Rock at time stamp 13:34? Beautiful images in your video.
Have a strange question. Does the visitors center have coffee? We can manage dry camping for several days, but need to run the generator to charge the lead acid batteries and to make coffee. Would prefer not to run it early in the morning, but got to have coffee..
I’m not sure, have you guys thought about getting a French press for boondocking? They are really small . I preferred that over pour over since you can make it stronger.
@@FindingOurSomeday Thanks for the info. They actually make a K-cup press, that you just need to add hot water. Made by Gourmia. We are going to give that a try. Joy and I both like different blends of coffee.
How about a link to the foldable solar panels!!
as far as solar panels i bought 2 each 1000watts panels on top of me rig, thats 42 amps per each solar panel, running 10 - 6 volt series to make 12v batteries, . the reason for the 6volt, is because the 6volt batteries can drain down to 1 volt and recover everytime, , but th a 12 volt battery goes pass 10.8 volts its TOAST? it could happen one or 2 times, but after that TOAST! my trailer is 25foot towhauler, and for an added bonus, at night i run a 40 windmill that i made , the average amps are between 18 and 25 amps all night . people laugh at me about it but, IT WORKS GREAT.
Gee, too bad you didn't stop at Meteor Crater. You drove right passed it on i-40 before Petrified Forest. I only 5mi off the interstate.
Gotta say that site at Bryce was sweet! What video editing tool do you use? One of mine is too simple, and another I'm trying to use is over my head. I've said it before, Love seeing your tt Reflection. Ours is a different model, but it makes your videos more relatable as you go places that the larger 5 ers can't.
Your channel has overtaken all the other RV channels I subscribe to as my #1 favorite. The photography and video/drone work is just incredible, but what really seems to pull the sensory input all together for me are your choices in music. I just wish your videos were longer, so I could immerse myself into your journey that much more. Except for when you get up close to big drop-offs, which you seem to do a lot of, and tonite's video was no exception. As soon as I get that familiar and ominous tingle at the base of my spine, I know it time to throw my hand up and block my view of the video for a few moments.
Just found your channel. Great videos. Hope to run into ya'll one day.
Love the videos. A small request for those who don't live in the USA, could you put the temp/miles in metric ?
Can you take drone footage there? It will be more beautiful if you can !
I can’t wait for us to make it more west but when you make it to Georgia what part of Georgia will you be visiting ? Great video beautiful sites Thanks for sharing ! And btw you should always listen to your spotter lol New subscriber here from the Tampa show excited to follow your journey !
How do you get such great drone shots while driving?
Can you still drone in a National Park?
You can’t drone in a National park.
Great 🇺🇸 👍 as always 🇺🇸 👍
Been to Bryce thryce and each time I suffered a knee injury before arrival. Never hiked it. Hell, I stay away from Bryce. One day. Nice video,real nice
