    Given the fact that most of America is on mandatory lock-down and yet you are out on the road bringing us wonderful videos of your adventures, giving us the enjoyment of being out there with you, shows the dedication and commitment that you have for your viewers! I commend you Marc on your selflessness and your devotion to your subscribers! You are bringing comfort to those that are stuck at home! Take care, be safe, and thank you!

    I don't know for the likes of me who would give this video a "thumbs down". YT trolls I guess.
    Marc love the way you always seem to give the historical back ground of where you go. Oh, oh....and I just turned to my wife and said, "honey we are going to get a drone. Look at those shots he gets". She said, "I knew you were going to say that". Good job Marc. Stay safe my friend. Oh and don't forget to wash your dogs paws often during this awful time. LOL

    • @GrandAdventure
      @GrandAdventure  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You folks stay safe as well! We love history, and while traveling we enjoy learning about why a place exists, what happened there that's of note, and in general just what makes a place tick. It's only natural, then, that we pass along what we've learned to our viewers. And as for the drone, I for one interpret your wife's response as implied permission. Go get it! It provides such a unique perspective in many circumstances.

    We we're camped down at Tombstone a couple of weeks ago (around the 1st of March) about a hundred yards from where you were. Beautiful, but did it ever rain! Heavy and constant all night. The day before that we got snowed on down near Sierra Vista so we headed back to Quartzsite to thaw out again. Nice video!

    • @GrandAdventure
      @GrandAdventure  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Yes, there's a couple of thousand feet of elevation difference over Quartzsite, which can make all the difference in the world. How was the road in and out when wet? Assuming that the washes didn't flood, it seemed sufficiently sandy to drain.

Thought about taking a drive over to Council Rocks sometime soon, right there near where your video was taken. I'm sharing your video with mom. My folks were full time RVers from '07 to '19. Hit all 50 states. My dad, who just passed 2 years ago, would like you a lot. Next time you're down this way, look me up. I'm 15 minutes from Madora Canyon. Be nice to buy you lunch or a beer.

    Great views Marc! I'd loved to have had a drone when I was there in Oct. 2014 for the annual SASS gatherings for the awards. People come from all over the world to this. I had just joined so I wasn't up for an award. I didn't get to see much except the shops in town. Wanted to see the huge rose bush, but maybe I can go back someday. I did get to tour the mine in Bisbee. Loved that entire four day trip!

      This past Monday, or the Monday before? If it was this past Monday you missed us by two days. I'm pretty sure that you were in Sedona when we passed by there on Sunday. It's amazing the perspective you can capture with a drone, you should give it some thought. Although I nearly peed my pants earlier this week when, while flying over Bisbee for next Wednesday's episode, I lost radio contact with the drone and had to a) find it in the sky, and b) guide it back by line of sight in a tight mountain canyon with powerlines all around. Terrifying!

    Question for you... how does your Tundra do pulling your camper? I'm guessing your camper weighs 6000+lbs. and I know Tundras have high tow ratings. Did you do any mods on your truck to tow? Also, payload is kinda low with Tundras....any issues with that?

    • @GrandAdventure
      @GrandAdventure  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Our gross weight on the trailer is around 7,500 lb, and the Tundra has no issues whatsoever with it. Actually, payload capacity is almost 1,500 lb so it's not bad at all and much higher then, say, the Dodge Ram 1500 series. Our Tundra is completely stock.

    cool video, wished I was out there with you. Our state wide lockdown begins tomorrow, whoo hoo!! I was wondering if the water level was down at Lake Powell ? I didn't see your kayak in the video. You said you were there over night, so I guess you didn't have time to paddle at Lone Rock Beach. I think that would be fun but the water is pretty cold, probably require winter gear for that.

Furthermore, we'll share that we use our Amazon shop www.amazon.com/shop/GrandAdventure in a way that's different from most TH-camrs. Rather than listing everything under the sun in an attempt to grab sales, we only list in our shop items that we use ourselves and feel confident recommending to our viewers.
