Thanks for sharing.
Deb, I noticed a light colored pocket by your side sliding door holding a pair of shoes. Could you tell me the brand, size, and where you purchased it, please. I’ve gotten other great storage tips from you! Very, very much enjoy your videos, all aspects - photography, travel tips, storage tips, and your relationship with “What-His-Name.” 😉
The company is called "organized Obie". These are the Get Wet organizers: www.organizedobie.com/10-x-24-get-wet-organizer.html
Thank you! I have a question about a few of the clothing items you choose. Knowing you, too, have to fold clothes while considering space and wrinkles (?), is there a go-to brand and fabric you prefer? I can’t wear polyester, so that limits me. I can wear nylon and maybe a blend of polyester and another fabric. You have a black pair of pants I’ve seen you wear on more recent videos that I really like. They may be considered cropped or capri…? Hope that helps. We have the same taste in clothing and are probably about the same build and size. Any info would be appreciated.
@@rmpenning7541 Those were a store brand from REI. Unfortunately they don’t carry them any more. I only buy pants that have a pocket for a phone which can limit the options. Light weight wool is a great option for tops. The better sporting goods stores carry my favorite brands like Kuhl, Prana, Toad, some Carhardt pants I have liked but must be on the thinner side. I typically will squeeze the fabric and hold it for a bit to see if it wrinkles.
@@FromShetoMe Great info, and thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with me and many others. You’ve given me direction. 👍🏻 And I hope to meet you and John on the road someday. 🚐💨
My friend wrote the book “A Trail Guide For The Mickelson Trail”. Her name is Aleen Golis!
We bought it and found it very helpful.
👍
Thank you for sharing your adventure.
We were staying in the Two Medicine campground June 14 - 21 this year. We had 2 days of off and on snow probably when you were in Montana. Very refreshing for us, since we rarely experience it in Auburn, Alabama.
Oh yes, it would be nice for some refreshing cool temps now.
When I got to the top of Gold Creek Pass (Boundary of Idaho Panhandle Forest & Lolo National Forest at the top of the St. Joe River Rd.) on Saturday June 15 at 12 Noon, it was 34F and snowing HARD!!!
Hopefully you were better prepared than we were with our summer gear.
It was great seeing you and John and look forward to continuing to follow your adventures….Always love the changing WX conditions on our journeys, see you are enjoying it too! 😁…Thanks for the Bridger plug as you passed Bozeman! Stay safe!
Wow - you are traveling fast! And I can relate. Our time through this part of the country seemed to fly!
Very cool we plan to do the Mickelson in September. We're looking forward to the next video!!!
I thought El Paso weather was unpredictable, but snow in June is crazy awesome! 😁 Glad that didn't stop you guys from exploring the area you visited. A Canada bike tour sounds so cool. Stay safe & thank you for sharing your excursion with us 💕 Safe travels, Yvonne 🥰
Hopping over to George's build- you've both inspired us to get out and explore more
That’s the best compliment, that our videos have inspired action. Thank you.
Great to see you make a stop at Montana Wheat. They are a great wheat producer and if I can get my local Hillside Grain flour ( Bellevue, Idaho) I go with Montana Wheat flour! The store looks like fun and had lots of yummy items! Safe travels.
I'm watching the travel movie in the middle of Europe, I find it very good and unique, it shows what only a traveler from America sees, it's entertaining and intelligent. thank you from Hungary kathy 1:03
Thanks. John’s brother is married to a Hungarian. WE would love to visit some day.
Thank you for another great video!
I can’t wait for your videos about the trail and the Canada cycling trip. We’ve never been on that rail trail, and I’d love to check it out. Safe travels!
Hi, we love the way you record the adventures, and hope to invite you to test our bike rack, please let us know if you are interested, and we will provide more details then😊
Thanks but our new van will store our bikes inside.
I realize that you’ve already passed these places but for me anyway, I really appreciate the recommendation others make about that area as it helps me plan similar trips. Thanks for sharing your travels and thanks to the viewers for sharing ideas too.
Yes, viewers recommendations are always welcome and I screenshot them and put in a folder.
I think we were in the same snow band, just further north. It was a beautiful day until it wasn’t😂 Your van is looking beautiful (& functional & innovative!). Have a great ride and thank you for another fantastic video.
I love your friend’s van (the red one) that’s exactly the setup I want so that I can put it in my garage. A weekender kind of van. 😊
I like the real time update. Just watched van build I am happy for you.
Great and inspiring videos, and love the stop in at the local bakeries! (Something I enjoy doing when I can.) Going through all of your videos and contemplating a van of my own!
Thanks!
Wow! So incredible to see that much snow on the mountains in June! Thanks for bringing us along with you. This is so cool. I loved the real time cut in. Stay safe and enjoy Canada! You're getting closer to your new van! Much love from SC, Jane ❤🙏
Darn! We stayed at Lewis and Clark but couldn’t do the cavern tour either. Was hoping to see your video about it! I get it though, the timing wasn’t right for us either. Stay safe on the road! 😊
Oh Debbie, it’s 118 in Las Vegas, I’ll take the cold from your video with great pleasure 😂😅
Link to George and your new van?
If you can go to last week’s video, there is a link in the description box. We only get 2 Gigs of data here in Canada so it’s hard for me to look it up.
What a beautiful fun trip! Weather a bit sketchy but that never hurts for long. Drive safe and keep on traveling.
Gillette, Wy. is where my high school friend lives in the Summer/Fall, then she and her husband go to Az. for the Winter/Spring. I use her driveway when passing through on any trips out that way. There's a free dump station at the city park. Last time I was in S. Dakota I stayed at Wind Caves Nat. Park, loved watching the buffalo there. The Canadian trip sounds fun, looking forward to seeing your video in 2 weeks. Enjoy!
Unfortunately, Wind Cave is closed this summer. But we will be back.
@@FromShetoMe Just the cave tours but the campground is open and you can still drive through and see the buffalo. But, yes, go back again later if you want to do the cave tour.
Great video! We live in Idaho Falls, Idaho so your video covers a lot of what we consider to be home territory. We are Airstreamers. And yes the weather has been a real challenge this year. It is now 100+ during the day. The last time we stayed at Lewis and Clark it was very hot and we couldn’t get an electric spot, it wasn’t fun. One last thing as you are heavy into the bicycles. Do you know about the Tour Divide (2700 miles from Banff, Canada to the Mexican border, off road bikepacking). Our grandson is about 175 miles from completing it and should do so late tomorrow. He started on the 14th of June. The first person to finish this year did it in about 13.5 days. Safe travels!!
We were watching Ryan Van Duzer at the start of that race but he had to quit. We’d have a tough time driving that distance in 2 weeks. Your grandson is a stud.
Hi Don’t miss Quebec City and the Gaspésie in Quebec Province …Beside scenery, Food and wine is awesome
