The five decade club ain't nuttin! Wait until you get to the 7 decade club. And they said we'd never make it. It blows my mind how close those mooring balls are in the harbor. I hope they have both bow and stern lines because if they don't and a wind comes along they're going to have a lot of beat up boats. Keep the good stuff coming guys and happy birthday Tara.🎂
It looks like a happy ways to spend your birthday! I hope it was a happy one, Tara! Looks like there are lots of fun things to do there too! Thanks for taking us along! Kay (and Matt)
Happy day you were born Tara! 🥳 Spring training on this island? Fun! Very interesting history on this place. Oh Poop. Our first golf cart tour. LOL. 🤣- Jim & Michelle
Happy birthday Tara, how funny I honestly thought I was older than both of you but I just turned 49 in September, I hope you enjoyed yourselves it is definitely a bucket list of mine
Thank you so much for showing us this beautiful island. People who watch your channel? Everyone who enjoys your videos and goes on tours with you. Happy belated birthday Tara! Couldn't have picked a better spot to celebrate. Hugs and thanks again.
Happy B Day to Tara again. Welcome to the old timers club. Wait till you get to the 65 timers club. Glad you both had a good trip. Thank you for the trip around the island. Have continued safe travels.
Happy belated birthday! We went to Catalina quite a bit when I was a child and stayed in Las Casitas. These were the little houses built for the Chicago Cubs. One of my childhood friends on these trips is now the director of tourism for Catalina. I’m sending her your video.
Happy Birthday Tara! I was looking through photos of when my wife were in Temecula CA. We visited Lake Elsinore and went up to this place called Lookout Roadhouse. I don't have any idea where you two are at currently, but if you still in the Lake Elsinore area, might be a nice ride up there. The views are amazing!
Recently found your channel and have been doing a bit of binge watching. Great videos and I absolutely love the music that you use. I don't know anyone else that uses this kind of music in their videos. We've had the gamut of rigs over the years, bumper pull, 5th wheel, Class A and now a Class C (she wanted something easier to drive). We're home based in the Texas Hill Country. With any luck, maybe our paths will cross at some point along the way.
Chad you and Tara never fail in bringing some beautiful scenery and amazing history to ya'lls videos. I loved your tour guide ,he was so informative and seemed to be down to earth. I hope Tara had an amazing Birthday. Thank ya'll for sharing
Happy birthday Tara! The big 5-0! What a great place to explore. I’ve been there twice but only to scuba so never got to explore out of town. Thanks. Our granddaughter went to an adventure camp there years ago and there were buffalo walking through the campgrounds.
Can't remember my 50th. But I do remember my 70th. Wasn't much. Always wanted to get there by my own boat. Not likely, that is going to happen? 🤒. Didn't know Marilyn Monroe had been there! Sure enough, I'm not seeing too many full-sized vehicles there. That island is so fine. Nice to finally see it. Not enough grass for the bison? Wow! Next stop for you.... 60th. 😁
This was probably your best video ever! The combination of a fantastic landscape, funny moments, great music, and both of you was perfect! And by the way, happy 10th anniversary!
Happy Birthday!! FYI, the outside snaps on the curtains are so you can secure the ends of the straps when the curtains are down. It keeps the ends from swinging back and forth and scratching the curtains. Mystery solved!!
Happy birthday, Miss Tara. Very nice video, guys. I've always heard about Catalina Island, but this is the first video tour around the island. Looks like a very nice place to celebrate your birthday. Hope y'all enjoy the remainder of your trip. God bless y'all and stay safe on your travels.
Originally Catalina island was owned by three families, one of them being the Patton family. The General said that he would sail his boat out there to go hunting
Channel Islands is said to be the birthplace of the Chumash Indian tribe. as the population crew they needed to go to the mainland. The great spirit provided a “ Rainbow bridge“. If someone fell off the bridge they would be turned into a dolphin.
Makes me wonder what kind of flora and fauna was native to the island before it was developed. Were the goats, pigs, and boar native species at one time, or were they imported and "escaped" into the wild? Island native species are always interesting to me as an amateur biologist, as they evolve to fit their very secluded and isolated environment. Same with the native plant species. I thought I saw a lot of eucalyptus trees along your jeep trip, and they are not native at all, as they are only originally native to basically Australia and a few other SE Pacific areas. I can't help but think that it's kinda a shame that the island has been kinda "polluted" with non-native species due to human development, despite what seem to be rather strict restrictions on same. To the best of my knowledge, The Channel Islands, off the coast of Santa Barbara 100 miles north of Catalina, are almost entirely a nature preserve, nearly untouched by humans. I had the opportunity to visit one of The Channel Islands when I was 17, don't remember which one, and can say it was quite the experience to wander for a day over land that had no paths, no human habitations, was just hills and sea and sky. I remember it was so immensely quiet...
I don’t know why all the channels I follow do the same thing and you’re right it distracts from the content. At a minimum the music should be toned down to 50% or completely removed
Thanks for the tour🙂

Wow guys, more great sights. I find it interesting that Steve's Steakhouse is where my mom's accounting office was. So many memories.
Happy day you were born Tara! 🥳 Spring training on this island? Fun! Very interesting history on this place. Oh Poop. Our first golf cart tour. LOL. 🤣- Jim & Michelle
The Jeep tour was pricey but well worth it, at least for those of us who got to go along without paying for it !
Happy Birthday Tara. Thanks for sharing museum facts on how the island was used and established.
Happy birthday Tara I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday

What a fabulous video. I live in the San Diego area and had no idea there was that much to see and do! Thank you guys and “Happy Birthday” Tara
Hello from Puerto Rico.. you guys are doing it right! Amazing...
Happy birthday, Miss Tara.
Very nice video, guys. I've always heard about Catalina Island, but this is the first video tour around the island.
Looks like a very nice place to celebrate your birthday. Hope y'all enjoy the remainder of your trip.
God bless y'all and stay safe on your travels.
Looks like such fun. Happy Birthday!
HBD Tara 50 isn’t that bad. I got the big 60 coming in three months 🎊 🎉❤😂
Try the 70 club
Happy Birthday Tara. Hope it was a good one. How did your property hold up in the Helene storm?
We laughed at Tara giving Chad a hard time about the golf cart at the garden. We guess it was a rough stop. Happy 50th. Now you can say Tara 5-0 😁.
Happy Birthday Tara!
Chad, did you know there was a song by the Four Preps in the late 50's about Santa Catalina Island?
Your fellow TH-cam RVer Catherine Gregory just did Catalina Island - she camped and hiked it if I remember correctly.
Originally Catalina island was owned by three families, one of them being the Patton family. The General said that he would sail his boat out there to go hunting
Happy Belated Birthday 🎉!
Were you restricted from taking the motorcycle?
Channel Islands is said to be the birthplace of the Chumash Indian tribe. as the population crew they needed to go to the mainland.
The great spirit provided a
“ Rainbow bridge“.
If someone fell off the bridge they would be turned into a dolphin.
Is y'all cabin ok?
Well, if you want to say 25, second time around. You are now starting your 3rd time around! :)

Brand ambassador?
Okay wait! ✋So there’s a job where you just drive people around in a Jeep on an island? He looked miserable!! 😂😂😂
Wow - the next thing you know you’ll leave your wallet behind ! Oh wait ….. that’s already happened !
Happy Birthday Tara! Guys, I love your content, but... can you tone down your music a bit. Very distracting, and sometimes irritating.
I don’t know why all the channels I follow do the same thing and you’re right it distracts from the content. At a minimum the music should be toned down to 50% or completely removed
Have you followed You tuber " liz amazing"? She is crushing the RV industry, including Grand Design over shoddy builds and poor dealer service.
Well I’ll say it, damn hot for 50.
