    I too am a Florida girl, who loves her flip-flops/sandals. When I have to wear "real shoes", my feet begin to scream! I love your videos, your doggies, and I love your adventures. I am very sorry about Jack. We are RVers too, with two dogs that travel with us. We are part timers, and we leave our four cats home when we travel, under the care of our daughters. I appreciate the sincere love and caring between the two of you. That makes your videos for me, even more real and enjoyable.

    I was born and raised in Hood River... Toll Bridge camp site is a 5 star place to to wander, wade, hike and just spend time. The whole Hood River Valley is a true gem, there is so much to see and do it'll take a life time to see all the valley has to offer... besides all the fruit!!!
    They went from one end of the valley to the other, leaving out so much of the good stuff. The Mount Hood Railroad tour train ???

    I went to Mt. Hood and Crater Lake as a young boy in the early sixties. When we retired, we moved to Southern Oregon. We have been to Crater Lake a number of times since it is only two hours from out home. In fact, we went there for our anniversary on July 16th. Likewise, my wife and I went to Mt. Hood a few years ago for our anniversary. We took the train up to a small town near the mountain and had a great time. It was cherry season and we bought fresh cherries at that little town. Great video. Brings back fond memories.

    Another great video, showing how we need to take the current challenges in stride and make the best of things. The great shoe debate has been fun and reminds us of our own conversations. Peggy, also being a FL girl who'd rather be barefoot or in flip-flops (in CO!!), will defend her position on your Patreon page. I just have to shake my head whenever she stubs a toe. Oh, and we've yet to stay in the Stanley Hotel knowing we'd get a few 'visitors' in the night ;-) Lastly, the views from behind the waterfall were spectacular. Well worth the scramble. Happy travels.

    Great to see you two on the road again. Hey Bri I have a pair of comfy sandals that tend to stink. What I did was to get some denatured alcohol and put it in a spray bottle. Try and get 70% or stronger. Spray them well and let dry. Works really good to eliminate the stink. Lasts quite awhile.

    I have so many sailing & cruising friends that swear by those shoes, but if they retain / create a smell...? Tevas are so heavy & actually hurt my feet. Haven’t tried Keen’s yet, but wow - interesting.

I wasn't quick enough with the camera. Thank you for the kind words and for coming along, Bob - we're happy to have you along for the adventure!

Also, so many really great wineries and fruit, lavender, etc. farms in the Hood River area that are worth stopping for.

  • @LStofer417
    @LStofer417 4 года назад +1

    Beautiful waterfall. I'm sorry, Bree, when you fell, I could not help but laugh. Did you tweak your knee in the fall? I hope it is not too bad. A solution for the smelly shoes, put dryer sheets in them. I'm not sure if that would work for sandals.

    • @EmbracingDetours
      @EmbracingDetours  4 года назад +1

      I would have been disappointed if you hadn't laughed 😆 The fall happened on the way to the waterfall and my knee didn't start bothering me until we were half way way back. I'm not sure how I tweaked it, the trail was a fairly rocky and technical (esp. at the end), plus dogs pulling in opposite directions, plus getting older... who knows 🤷‍♀️ Thankfully, it didn't bother me again after the first day! Thanks for the tip on the dryer sheets, I'll store that one away for future use 😉
