    We're at Thunder Canyon Campground right now and it's everything John and Mercedes have said it is and more. We have a beautiful site, it has been so relaxing to be here. Everyone has been so friendly (and helpful when the AC went out on our rental Class C in 98 degree weather!). We'll definitely be back. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality! :)

I think you have really hit on a unique and wonderful idea for a campground, there is nothing else like it anywhere! I can't begin to imagine how much work this has taken, what you have created is nothing short of fabulous!

    Ohhh, you guys!❤️ I've watched your story, your journey, since before Thunder Canyon.
    It's been such a beautiful, wonderful thing to get to be allowed in to watch as you go through real life things and just continue to walk in faith and grow stronger and closer. Sage is just blossoming like crazy and even with the challenges of undertaking Thunder Canyon, as a couple you seem even more in love, at peace, and cemented as a team.❤️
    Your story is beautiful and inspiring. I think a lot of people could learn a lot from it about humility, forgiveness, selflessness, and teamwork. And most importantly, how much God truly does love us and cares about our concerns and needs. No matter what comes, He's there lifting us, carrying us, comforting us, strengthening us, blessing us to get through it all.
    You are a blessing to so many. I am so very tickled for you and so very proud of all the amazing hard work everyone has done to make Thunder Canyon so amazing.
    I'm excited to see what you do next!
    God Bless you 🙏❤️

We have been praying about and I know The Lord put it on my heart about making our RVing a ministry. My husband was all for it and we talk about with the Joy of serving. Watching the OddCouple, I was just so excited. We will watch together tomorrow. I never run across anyone in RVing doing ministry until I was praying about ministry myself. I found The Journey Church, and now you have come up. It's exciting.

I was there during the Preparation H event and have to say I was in tears watching this vid. Best of luck moving forward and hope Skippy heals fast. I WILL be returning to Thunder Canyon.

    turning Thunder Canyon around from what it was to what it is now definitely required someone with contractor experience and knowledge of many of the same skills needed for commercial/home building. Maintaining the campground is important too but can be done at a slower pace. Looking forward to your next Campground renewal project starting.

    I have been watching your channel for over a year now, your humor, love & Emotion is uplifting/ I lost a ton weight in mid 2020. We finalized our divorce after a decade on St. Patricks day of 2021. ( the Judge thought it would funny, but it was my lucky day for reaI ). We are both at peace & still cordial, I had 3 surgeries in 2021 which has made me healthier. My last child graduated 2 weeks ago & I decided I'm going to buy a truck & a nice fifth wheel and start some new adventurous journeys while I still have lots of energy to get started.
    Thank you guys for your honesty & training 💖

    Wow, this has been a great journey for me. I started off a year and a half ago just wanteding to know how to set up a travel trailer because my dad had one 26 years ago he passed away and I never got to ask him how To buy one or set it up. he just did and I just ran to the beach. So I watch you guys all the way learning getting educated we had some unfortunate events or we could not purchase our travel trailer I was looking at a 37 foot one, but seem to get back on track family comes first. But all the life lessons that you have taught us John and Mercedes we do appreciate it, watching Sage grow up was a blessing in front of our eyes really puts family into perspective we will continue to watch and learn congratulations on all your success and start as many Family Boy Scout base campgrounds as you can, coming from a former Boy Scout. so there’s a place for our rig when we get it going 2023!! thanks for all the time you guys put into editing and doing this.
