TY! Montana is another one of those ridiculously diverse states -- thick forests on mountains in the west, and flat plains as far as the eye can see in the east.
THanks for this. We'll be in that area next week following the Nez Perce trail from Joseph, Oregon to the Bear Paw Battlefield in south of Chinook, Montana.
Loved seeing this video! I grew up on a ranch up Lolo Creek. Every summer we ran our cows on the East Fork and Packer meadows. So many good memories riding and chasing cows there with my dad!
Crossed Lolo Pass several times on my annual visit to my cousin in Dillon, Montana. Didn't know anything about Packer Meadows, or I would have visited it. Keep up the great videos!
Sorry we didn’t see you yesterday. We were on our own Grand Adventure at Del Mar Beach at Camp Pendleton! Parking the rig in the sand in So Cal is amazing!!
You nerds should have gone to the Jack Saloon near Lolo HotSprings! Also it was awesome seeing this video! I grew up in the Bitterroot valley but haven't been there in quite some time.
It really was on our list! I had a guy at a dump station in Lewiston recommend the place, and their camping on their property was our fallback in case none of the potential boondocking spots worked out. Unfortunately, with our short visit we ran out of time to go have a beer, especially after I had to make two separate unplanned trips into Missoula.
Nice video. Lewis & Clark were awesome explorers. I'm guessing you are meeting up with Homie at large. Looking forward to seeing your next Grand adventure. Thanks Don
Thank you John! We appreciate the fact that you enjoy the format. We love finding out things about where we're at each week, so it's just a matter of passing along what we learn.
Yeah, it's definitely shorter than our usual, thanks for that feedback. We typically find too much of interest in a week in one area to squeeze it into 11 minutes.
How in the world did you find that spot? It looked perfect. Framed by boulders and big enough for both your rigs. Interesting stuff about Lewis and Clark. Recently I picked up a book titled “The Lewis and Clark Journals”. I’m looking forward to reading it. Thanks Marc.. Ram 👍🏼👍🏾
Enjoy that read, Ram! We found this spot the same way we find all of the others: ruclips.net/video/qbIgOAkf6No/видео.html We were even able to see the boulders in the satellite imagery.
Hi Marc. This is a nice site you found. I am curious, I see the chocolate lab still in the videos, but not the golden retriever. Did I miss the episode where you explained this? Loved your dogs! They always seemed so happy with their grand adventure.
Randell, they certainly were, and Zoe (the lab) still is. Regrettably we had to say goodbye to Maggie (the golden) several years ago. She was such a sweetheart, and Mrs. GA never truly got past losing her. Maggie is sorely missed.
Aaahhh. We're familiar with it, Bill, but we have yet to spend enough time in the Astoria area to pay it a visit. Every time we've been through Astoria we have just been traveling through.
One thing that struck me a funny (I know there is a tactical reason) In a place where it rained nearly every day they were there the eaves are angled so you have to walk through the run off from the roof every time you went in and out of your room. That was a great video and will add that area to the list.@@GrandAdventure
We absolutely loved this area when we were there in late June this year… wish we had found that fantastic site you did! I have to wonder if the Nez Pierce would help the Corps of Discovery if they could have seen into the future. I have such great respect for Chief Joseph and for the members of the Corps… travel safely!😊
Indeed, circumstances definitely took a turn for the worse for the Nez Perce some years later. I'm always amazed to understand the history driving down the Chief Joseph Trail and over Dead Indian Pass.
That's it, Marc...throw in a short video to keep your loyal followers wanting for more ! You're playing with our emotions, man !!!!! Safe travels and "see ya" Wednesday ! Can't wait to see where you will land next.
Thank you! I love following your adventures 😊. I know that if you make it into a spot , we can too. And your adventures are what we seek as well. Beautiful scenery off the beaten path, with history sprinkled in!. Thanks for your research and for sharing these great places with us!
We always look forward to your videos. As always you continue to be a fountain of fantastic info. Thank you for all the research you do for your videos.
Not to far from Missoula...Back in 1980 my dad moved to Salmon Idaho after parents divorced so i have been up and down that Hwy 93 ride several times...In fact North Fork over by lost trail pass was one of the last RV trips we went on before the wifes health took a major dump....I love that area....Will be lookin forward to seeing where that favorite spot of yours in Montana is....Thinking someplace close to Flathead lake perhaps ??? Travel safe, be well....
True, not far from Missoula at all. In fact, I had to run into town twice to pick up a couple of things. Lost Trail Pass, and that whole Southern end of the Bitterroot Valley has been on my list for years, but circumstances always seem to prevent me from getting there. One of these days we will. As for that spot next week, it is near a lake, but not Flathead. We'll have to keep you guessing.
@@GrandAdventureWell, if you ever get over that Lost Trail Pass area (being you like to snow ski its a nice little spot to checkout at least once.) Also the Continental Divide is at the top of Lost trail pass....Would highly suggest staying at Waters Edge RV park resort there in North Fork not far away....Nice little base camp with your 5th wheel to unhitch and explore with your truck...Am sure you can find a lake somewhere in the area to do your kayak gig also...Sawtooth mountains around Stanley also has some great boondocking with a little bit of research as i know your into it....
I have ridden up and down the Lolo pass many times on my motorcycle but now I travel with an Alliance 310rl much like you friends. Lolo is a very beautiful area full of history. Looking forward to next week. Love your videos.
Fantastic, we love Montana...though we haven't been there in a long time. Looking forward to seeing where your favorite Montana boondocking spot is next week!
Thx GA back in '01 road from Mex2Can on DS ride We stayed at Lolo Lodge was the most beautiful area on whole 2500m ride. Always want to go back but family and health issues have kept us away. Maybe next year but at 70 the checkered flag is flying.
You're only as young as you feel, Bill. Hoping that the health issues fade away and give you the chance to return. In the meantime, we'll bring you back tonight.
A very enjoyable and informative episode. Inspired me to pull Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose off the shelf to re-read. Too, I gotta catch up on your travels but binge watching your channel is always a treat.
You'll really like the look of the fly fishing at our site coming up in 2 weeks, Brian. There, we watched them jump all evening right behind our trailer. There were some folks fly fishing just a mile or so from our campsite in this episode, where the East Lolo Creek joins Lolo Creek.
@@GrandAdventure Looking forward to it. I like to fish the Thompson River and then all around Flathead Lake. Take my son there most summers and get a guide. Amazing place.
Thank you Wayne! None of the dispersed sites were designated as such. However, many of the obvious pullouts around there were ringed with rock in that way. The local forest apparently uses that technique to restrict vehicle use beyond the rocks. Before we got there, when we were scouting out sites via satellite imagery, we saw many of those rock outlines.
Hey Marc, we noticed on the alliance Rv the bike rack looks like some kinda support mounted the the back wall. Could we get more information on that if possible, thanks
I've been away from Dale and Pat for the past week, but we should be reconnecting in a day or two so I'll get a good look at it for you. I think, however, it just mounts to the hitch.
thanks Marc for having a look. looks like a white something on the back of there rv behind the bikes and just below the window....??we also have an alliance rv, 295mk@@GrandAdventure
@@lgarrett Lance, it's a normal Küat rack. I think what you saw was some foam that they mounted on the side of the trailer to avoid any impact from the handlebars. Here's a photo: photos.app.goo.gl/ugzAgBESvtXsN36R7
Neat place, Marc. Did you sit out in the creek on chairs like before? Were there mosquitoes or was it too dry this year? I really enjoyed the historic review you always give. So why was there mercury in the latrine? How did the two get poisoned by it? Did they live or decease? I didn't get that aspect. Gord
The laxative they were given had mercury salts in it. We talked about getting in the creek, but we never did. But we did use it as a source of wash water. The mosquitoes were almost non-existent.

I live right by lolo hotsprings. Thanks for visiting my neighborhood, glad to share the beauty with you!
And we're happy that you did! We genuinely enjoyed the area, thank you for watching.
This looks like an awesome place to camp. Lolo Creek is so beautiful! Suzane
It sure was, Suzane
1000th like. Area looks very pretty. Exactly how I picture Montana to be.
TY! Montana is another one of those ridiculously diverse states -- thick forests on mountains in the west, and flat plains as far as the eye can see in the east.
Good looking area.
Indeed it was, John. We enjoyed our brief time there immensely.
Interesting history
It sure is, Barratt. Thanks for watching!
Great job Marc!
Thank you Robbie!
THanks for this. We'll be in that area next week following the Nez Perce trail from Joseph, Oregon to the Bear Paw Battlefield in south of Chinook, Montana.
What a cool idea for a trip! Happy that we could give you a preview of the Lolo Pass segment, and wishing you a safe trip and happy trails.
Loved seeing this video! I grew up on a ranch up Lolo Creek. Every summer we ran our cows on the East Fork and Packer meadows. So many good memories riding and chasing cows there with my dad!

Thank you Ralph! Now the next time you pass through that area, you'll have something new to explore.
Great video, love your spot
Thank you very much, Deb!
thanks Marc. I hope to visit there someday.
Our pleasure, Joe. Thank you very much for watching, as always.
Thank you so much I love having Grand adventures with you
We love having you along, Joanne. Thank you very much for watching, as always!
Sorry we didn’t see you yesterday. We were on our own Grand Adventure at Del Mar Beach at Camp Pendleton! Parking the rig in the sand in So Cal is amazing!!
I'll bet! That sounds a heck of a lot better to me than sitting around watching some clown's RUclips video.

We had the privilege of living in Montana and the Bitteroots were favorites of ours. Thanks for the history of Lolo Pass.
You're most welcome, Bill. Thank you for watching!
Nice video. Lewis & Clark were awesome explorers. I'm guessing you are meeting up with Homie at large. Looking forward to seeing your next Grand adventure. Thanks Don
Thanks as always, Don. And you guess well!
Sorry I missed your live stream but I am watching it now 👍. Beautiful views. Wish I could be there😢
Thank you! We missed you at the premiere, but we'll catch you for the next one. We're always happy that you're watching, no matter when or where.
CHEERS Marc looks like a nice area.
Indeed it was, Norm. Cheers to you, thanks for watching!
Another great video . I love how you always give us a history lesson everywhere y’all camp . Safe travels .

@@SevenBears1 here's to a wonderful trip for you.
Very nice area, great camping place, bet you had a hard time keeping Zoey out of the water, lolol. Travel safe
We sure did, Gary. She got into the habit of "taking herself swimming" while we were there.
How in the world did you find that spot? It looked perfect. Framed by boulders and big enough for both your rigs.

Enjoy Salt Lake, Leigh! We will be back there for 5 months, beginning December 1.
