    Love from Detroit, Michigan. Slim I follow over 100 campers, vanlifers and by far you are my favorite because you're my Lorne Greene 2.0. You know exactly how to narrate compared to everyone else. Just love the mood you put me in.

    Thank you for taking me to such a wonderful place. I retired in 2009, and came home to care for my elderly mother. I do so 24/7, alone. She is now 100 yrs old. All my plans for my retirement have gone for naught. But, I get to travel with you and see sights with you. I look forward to your adventures. It makes my day, and my endlessly monotonous life. I wanted to tell you you are appreciated. I hope it helps you feel good that you and your purpose is very important to others. Thank you.

    Thank you Slim, you never disappoint. Another wonderful video and commentary. I will never understand how people can be nature loving enough to hike a mountain trail, but leave their litter in the very idyllic place they just passed through. Shame on Humans. Stay safe and take care, my friend.

  • @defrost8648
    @defrost8648 3 года назад

    I really needed this peaceful, soul-enriching mountain hike with you today. Thank you for taking us along to beautiful vistas and quiet mountain streams. To reflections in way-side ponds and views from the top of the world (well … this part of the world❤️).
    At 71, my body no longer allows me the joy of long solo hikes in the wilderness. Your channel feeds this part of my spirit while I stick to short but enjoyable walks accessible from my little RV. Beauty is where you find it - and I can be assured of finding it in your journeying. Thank you. ❤️

    We camped there in ~1990. I see the forests around the park have grown back as when we were there the park was a square of green surrounded by a sea of clearcuts. This was one stop on our way toward Newfoundland, perhaps one of the best trips I've ever taken. Atlantic Canada rocks.

    I just spent the last week vacationing in southern NB (I'm from Montréal). Make sure you eventually make your way to Grand Manan island (just south of Fundy park). It's really beautiful, and even the ferry ride to get there is interesting (saw several Humpback whales).

      20 year old graffiti is vandalism. 100 year old graffiti is historic. I noticed this at Yosemite. There was a felt difference between names from 1880 and names from 1985.

    Here's where the geologist in me pops out. The reason that the Appalachians are much lower than the Rockies is that they are so much older . the Appalachians formed almost 500 million years ago, while the Rockies are only about 70 million years old . The Appalachians are worn down to the core material of the range, while the Rockies are relatively young whipper-snappers as mountains go.
