Fun Fact: On Good Friday in 1964 the biggest earthquake in North America hit near Valdez. It lasted more than 4 minutes and afterwards the ground was so unstable they had to move the entire town about 4 miles. Residents had three years to make the move and then the old town was burned to the ground.
@@tammyc606 52 buildings were moved to the new site. I’m not sure why they needed to burn the old town, but my guess is that it was the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to keep others from moving in or using the unsafe structures.
Alaska is possibly best done with a truck slide in camper. Much easier to find boondock spots and easier to get around. We just did Valdez force first time this year. The waterfalls are amazing. We were able to get off road in Thompson pass and camp right up on the bluff. Thanks for sharing.
You guys are making me want to get back there now. We spent the entire summer there last year. Our week in Valdez was rainy most of the time but that made the rivers and waterfalls even more special. Make sure and visit at least one or two of the local museums.
My husband and I retired, and we don't have all the energy y'all have, but we love to RV and you've inspired us to get out there and take that trip to Alaska. It's been my husband's dream trip for years. It's now or never. Y'all are the cutest couple ever, always have smiles on your faces. Keep on having fun and taking it one day at a time! God Bless and save travels.
Awesome video. I’m so glad you got to Valdez I think it’s probably one of the underrated places in Alaska. Again, I really enjoy your videos and that you take us along on your adventures.
Wow!! the views in todays video are breathtaking taking, absolutely beautiful. The different water falls also breathtaking. The tunnels are nice but strange. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
We meet a family that owned a CG in Valdese and they had a permit to feed the Eagles. He also took us out on his boat to go pull his Prawns Baskets that were 300' deep. What an experience.
I love watching your Alaska trip. We did it last year and spent the summer. You are right Valdez is gorgeous. Reservations tip: typically campgrounds will have openings each morning. By about noon they start getting booked. We worked in North Pole last year and that held true.
Oh how interesting! Valdez was our first real destination in Alaska (we did the loop the opposite way), and loved it so much and wondered if we might have accidentally done the best first lol
My bride and I boondocked at horsetail falls last year because we had reservations at that same rv park the next day, great park and great people! Got to listen to the falls all night long! Epic!
You two are Amazing I'm glad You Are Having A Great Time in Alaska It truly is a Beautiful State. How Come We Don't See Much Of You And Your Travel Companions Out And About Together?
Enjoyed the screnery and watching you have so much fun. Always wanted to go to Alaska in a camper/RV starting fifty years ago. I will probaly never make it now, but am enjoying watching you make the most of it. Thanks for your adventures.
I’m a huge nature buff and love the waterfall footage. I also like trains hence my RUclips handle and the old tunnels were amazing to see. I would have flown my drone through the second one :)
Do not skip McCarthy and Kennicott. For $5 you can drop your trailer at Kenny Lake Mercantile while you drive in. We made a day trip out there from Glennallen and we are going back before we leave Alaska.
Hi guys, a little tip for you cut a 2x2 piece of wood a little more than the width of your slide , paint it white. All you have to do is lay it on the ground next to any obstacle and Craig has a line of site when backing in.
It was nice meeting you in Valdez, albeit briefly! We would of invited you for Halibut tacos if we would of seen you earlier! We only made reservations at the places we absolutely wanted to stay at such as Valdez, Seward and Denali. We loved Valdez and the Thompson Pass area to hike around.
lol I was laughing at myself listening back to it with only one side of the conversation... somehow Craig knew exactly what I meant though! That's how you know you've been together a long time LOL
I lived in Anchorage for 4 years while in the Air Force and you are correct about the mosquitos. I told people stories and I don't think they believed me lol. I remember golfing with my buddy and I would line up my shot, walk up to the ball and just whack it real quick b/c as soon as you stop, the mosquitos would swarm you. Beautiful state though that everyone should visit at least once if they get the chance. Thank you so much for sharing!
Sometimes having your plans changed, creates hidden opportunities. Valdez is gorgeous! Thank you for taking us along❤ save travels as you continue North🙏
Our worst mosquito experience was on the bus trip to the deepest part of Denali and when we got out to look around at Mirror Lake it was insane. Mosquitos were bad a lot of other places but Denali was by far the worst.
Valdez was our favorite too! Two days ago we crossed the border headed back to that favorite town. But alas, a family member illness has us turned around, headed back home😢. Maybe next year. BTW, we loved Valdez RV Park!
We use Liquidfy - Switched from Happy Camper. We pretreat with 4-gallons water/ice and 4-8 oz depending on temp and how soon we’ll dump again. If I’m at full hookup site I will do 2-3 back wash. Good Video!
I just subscribed to open roading, so now I can watch both videos and flip back and forth to see each others adventures!! The scenery is crazy beautiful!! Someday.
yay! it's been fun being able to see how they document the experiences versus how we do, and then we've split off and done some different things a couple times now so those are even more fun to watch!
Sorry for your complications finding spots to park with that huge rig. A pick up truck with a camper is way easier to find parking. So many places to just pull in that way. Hopefully you’re enjoying Alaska anyway. The Bugs are crazy here but bug dope by the gallons should help.
Glad you went to Valdez, it was our favourite town on our 1 month time in Alaska. Who ever you were getting your recommended towns to visit info from is clueless. Great episode, beautiful camera work. We went on a day cruise from both Valdez and Seward. Make sure you go to the Valdez museum. Best in Alaska followed by the university one at Fairbanks. Looking forward to reminiscing our trip by following yours. Wish we could go back again but it's cost prohibitive.
@@wildrvlife yes sooo expensive. Other side of the world for us too. We hired an rv and drove over 2000 miles around Alaska. You can walk on a small glacier called Byron Glacier which is south of Anchorage towards seward, easy walk from the car park. We stayed at a nice State park called Williwar campground not far from Portage. We didn't like Chena hot springs out of Fairbanks, very commercial and over rated. The drive and scenery wasn't very good either, although we did stay overnight in a gravel pull off on the Chena river which was nice. Have a great time. Really enjoying your episodes, you put a lot of effort into them. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Isn't it so cool when you have to change up plans and it slides you into a beautiful place that you never would have seen!!! For those slide outs you don't have to guess. We picked up a cheep tape measure from Harbor Freight and then just measured out each slide and marked it on the tape measure with a Sharpie. Works like a charm. Craig - I agree with you on the rainforest comment. I think of that as a tropical jungle environment. We were in Olympic National Park this year that is also a rain forrest. It's just not what you think of as rainforest when your in the evergreens. Victoria - It's not a Ninja Obstacle, it's "FLOOR IS LAVA!!!!!" 😁 Y'all found a natural hockey rink!!!! Great music for that segment by the way!! Hahahaha!!! You two are killing us 😅 Safe travels kids, thanks for the laughs.
I’m on the Alcan right now heading from Whitehorse in to the US border here in a few hours, I haven’t had any problems with Reservations however it’s later in the season so maybe that’s why, also I have a 20 foot trailer and not our fifth wheel so that may be the reason too. I haven’t watched your whole video. I’ll watch it later soon as I can get Starlink up and running at our next Boondock site. Not sure how delayed your videos are, but if you’re still out and about in Alaska, maybe we’ll pass by you. We’re in a Taxa outdoors mantis. It’s a gray trailer, if you search it, I promise it’ll be the only one you probably see if you pass by it. Safe travels.
We didn't really start to have problems until we crossed over into Alaska and started trying to go to some of the main coastal towns or other popular destination areas. Definitely started facing more crowds then. We'll have to keep an eye out for you, be sure to wave us down if you happen to see us!
I still have a little FOMO about not driving all the way out to McCarthy but it would have been such a long day to leave the dogs so we decided to skip it, but I bet that was awesome!!
Cover your seats with bags from the grocery store the plastic bags you can tie them down under the seats and they’ll keep them clean. We love your videos we live in California. Also, what mosquito repellent do you recommend and do they have some homemade concoction up there that they use?
We've found that the 100% deet works well. It smells awful, and I feel like it's probably not the best or most natural thing to put on your body, but since we're using it sparingly... I'm willing to chance it for those crazy mosquito areas!
We did the ferry from Whittier to Valdez with our 5th wheel. Valdez and the drive out was my favourite place. We boondocked at a glacier lake just outside of Valdez. I really enjoyed your music on this video.
Loving yours and J&K’s videos! We just spent 7 weeks in AK. Valdez was definitely top of the list, favorite place we visited. Wear a wind breaker or long sleeve shirt and a head net to keep the skeeters at bay. They are no joke…
Hey guys, that was some good driving man. 😲😅 Well said about the views. I was thinking its to expensive & I'll probably skip it. Really glad you said all u said. Now I don't want to miss it. I have to make it there. Thanks ✌️😁. Girl your a living Post Card. Thank you, I enjoyed the video. 💯🌈
The timing of your Valdez video was perfect for us. We dry camped on the way down and woke up this morning and watched your video and learned a lot. Kelley’s Outdoor Adventures the RVdrifters.
Wow, the drives were fantastic! Y’all are you and agile but you wouldn’t want to break an arm or leg or something skating on that ice. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure! Be careful and take care. Waiting patiently on the next video!
Valdez is our favorite destination in Alaska. We have a friend that lives there and visited her all three times. We always stay across the bay from the city at Alisson Point. The fishing is awesome. Burlington Bill busking on the road and on you tube.
@@wildrvlife The bear video I filmed pretty close to the pull-over at Kluane Lake in the Yukon where we stayed all three times. Also, on Episode 265 on the site Sailing into Freedom on you tube they used a song I wrote and played for a theme song at the one-minute mark!
If you go north of Anchorage the next little town is called eagle river. The have a store called revive. They are open on the weekends only. I think you will like it . ❤❤❤ stay safe God bless Mary
After having been a truck driver and backing up 53 ft trailers in very tight circumstances, whenever I watch any of the RVers I follow backing up, I find myself starting to talk to and give advice to the screen. :)
So glad to see you folks enjoying the travel. Seems the folks we run into are old farts like me. Wish I had thought of this lifestyle while I was younger. Safe travels and keep up the videos we are really enjoining them.
There are several insect hats for hikers that have netting and when outside in a high insect area, wear a lightweight long-sleeve hiking shirt. I personally like Columbia's PFG Bonehead shirts.
You guys are so funny... Great video! Maybe I will get to spot you all on your way back like I did when you were on your way up there. Enjoy your trip.
Gooood video guys!!! Alaska scenery is very beautiful and dramatic, yet peaceful and tranquil!!! Your video makes us wanna go back. The mosquitos in Alaska and Maine are a helluva lot more vicious than in Florida for sho!!!! For the e-bikes, I don’t see the helmets and padded fingerless gloves I recommended after the incident. I just fell off mine the other day in a little bit of sand just outside of Bryce NP on the bike path. Gloves saved the hands on the fall.
McCarthy is not a day trip. The miles are short but the road is rough. It's only 60 miles but can take 2-3 hours to drive. Alaska is meant to done slowly not rushed.
Yea they never tell you about the huge learning curve at the RV dealer when it comes to these things. You’d think the manufacturers would want to build them nice a strong and made to last. But alas no the money you have yet to spend to fix everything will be staggering. You should have bought a boat
Fun Fact: On Good Friday in 1964 the biggest earthquake in North America hit near Valdez. It lasted more than 4 minutes and afterwards the ground was so unstable they had to move the entire town about 4 miles. Residents had three years to make the move and then the old town was burned to the ground.
,that's interesting
yes, it's so crazy!! We saw where the Old Valdez townsite was. Very interesting history there
Wow! Wonder why they needed to burn it?
@@tammyc606 52 buildings were moved to the new site. I’m not sure why they needed to burn the old town, but my guess is that it was the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to keep others from moving in or using the unsafe structures.

You guys hit a home run with this video. The violin with the waterfalls was AMAZING
Thank you so much! I'm super happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Me and the wife have drove to Alaska 7 times and Valdez is our favored place to go to in Alaska. The fishing is also very good. Be save and have fun
That's awesome! I'm surprised more people don't talk about it on youtube!
My husband and I retired, and we don't have all the energy y'all have, but we love to RV and you've inspired us to get out there and take that trip to Alaska.

Oh that is so awesome! Love to hear it! And thank you so much for joining us on our journey. God bless and safe travels to you too!
Excellent music choices especially the circus one for the ice!
Haha thank you! It was very fitting, lol.
Awesome video. I’m so glad you got to Valdez I think it’s probably one of the underrated places in Alaska. Again, I really enjoy your videos and that you take us along on your adventures.
We said the same thing! In fact, it might be said in our title of our video next week. I couldn't believe we almost skipped it
Laughing at the Tag on the tunnel wall behind Victoria right before the icecapades!
Glad Craig has real boots for these types of hikes.
Yeah, they don't get brought out too much, but when they do, they are used.
Wow!! the views in todays video are breathtaking taking, absolutely beautiful. The different water falls also breathtaking. The tunnels are nice but strange. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
the waterfalls were soooo pretty! I'm glad we were able to capture just a portion of the beauty of seeing them in real life!
You guys are soooo adventurous and I love. Great vid, keep em coming!
Thank you so much!
We meet a family that owned a CG in Valdese and they had a permit to feed the Eagles. He also took us out on his boat to go pull his Prawns Baskets that were 300' deep. What an experience.

ooh this is a good tip, thank you! And thank you for coming along for our adventures!
Our caravan group just left Valdez this morning. It’s been by far our favorite stop.
We’ve completed the circle. We are now back in Tok.
Oh how interesting! Valdez was our first real destination in Alaska (we did the loop the opposite way), and loved it so much and wondered if we might have accidentally done the best first lol
Love watching your adventures! Thank you for sharing 💙
So glad you like them! Thank you for watching!
Wow just wow Valdez !! Great video and scenery, impressive
Sooo glad that it worked out the way it did!
My bride and I boondocked at horsetail falls last year because we had reservations at that same rv park the next day, great park and great people! Got to listen to the falls all night long! Epic!
Oh wow, I bet that was a beautiful view to wake up to!
Excellent job on the filming, editing, etc. Stay safe and healthy.
thank you so much!!
You two are Amazing I'm glad You Are Having A Great Time in Alaska It truly is a Beautiful State. How Come We Don't See Much Of You And Your Travel Companions Out And About Together?
Thank you so much! Usually, when we are together, it gets too difficult for us both to film, but we do have some things coming up soon.
@@wildrvlife God Be With All of You.

Thank you so much!!
Wow those mosquitoes 🦟 were monsters! Love that you can stay positive and smiling. 😊
They were out for vengeance I think lol.
One of your best videos, great drone footage, you guys made me feel like I could jump into the waterfall.
Thank you so much! The waterfalls are so spectacular!
I’m a huge nature buff and love the waterfall footage. I also like trains hence my RUclips handle and the old tunnels were amazing to see. I would have flown my drone through the second one :)
I wish I had thought of that! Man, what a missed opportunity. Thank you so much for watching!
Hahahaha “white snow”….. . Love you guys, keep up the good work!
lol! thanks for watching!
Do not skip McCarthy and Kennicott. For $5 you can drop your trailer at Kenny Lake Mercantile while you drive in. We made a day trip out there from Glennallen and we are going back before we leave Alaska.

If you find yourself in Valdez do yourself a favor and take an all day glacier tour from there. You will be happy you did.
OIMG!! You two on the ice in the tunnel...that was hilarious!! Thank you.
All right Valdez will be on the list, I’m convinced.
I've been binge watching you this morning. Fun. ❤
I wish you would post the actual date you filmed each time for people with future Alaska travel plans.
This was filmed the 3rd week of June
Sometimes having your plans changed, creates hidden opportunities. Valdez is gorgeous! Thank you for taking us along❤ save travels as you continue North🙏

Make yourself a “slide stick” to verify your pedestal clearance. Easy peasy 👍
We've thought about doing this for a long time, but never have 😅
We marked our 4’ level for our two important slides. We don’t have auto level so it comes out for every set up.
We stayed at Kenny Lake and went to Mccarthy without the camper, then drove to Valdez the next day and it was the best scenery of all in Alaska.
I still have a little FOMO about not driving all the way out to McCarthy but it would have been such a long day to leave the dogs so we decided to skip it, but I bet that was awesome!!

We can't believe that road to Valdez.... incredible. Loved watching Craig "ice skate in the tunnel". Hope you are having an amazing trip.
lol we both got very lucky that we didn't bust our butts LOL - although it would have been funny to capture that on video 😂
Lots of wildfires in Canada, hope your return trip to the US is safe ✌️
Thats a beautiful place! ❤
It is very nice. It's one of the prettiest places we have been.
Fun video of my home state! I love that you included a scripture verse at the end of your video!
Thank you so much! And we are super happy you enjoyed the video.
Make sure to go to the museum and learn all about the pipeline and tsunami. Have fun, I worked on the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
Oh how interesting!! We heard that the museum was a good one!
I just found your channel and subscribed. You two are so adorable and love your sense of humor!!
You are doing it at a perfect time in your life. Enjoy your youth and freedom as long as possible. Epic views in this video for sure. 😊
Thank you so much! We are definitely enjoying ourselves, thanks for coming along on the adventure!

Check out Lake Louise if you are heading to Anchorage. If you are by the Old Denali highway Tangle lake area is beautiful.
Oh, nice! Thank you.
The Valdez area is soooo beautiful! I'm glad you got to see it.
Us too!! It was amazing!
Let all you do be done with love,nice,Great viedo,beautiful landscape.Great memories being made.Be safe ,God bless❤
Thank you so much and Gid bless you!
Nice waterfalls. I bettcha there is some gold lying around there somewhere.
After having been a truck driver and backing up 53 ft trailers in very tight circumstances, whenever I watch any of the RVers I follow backing up, I find myself starting to talk to and give advice to the screen. :)
Thanks for taking us along! It looked very pretty.
It was gorgeous, thank you for watching!
Craig, great work on the music choices! Violin for the falls and steel guitar for the tunnel!
We’ve found that mosquitos are attracted by the truck fumes so when hooking up or unhooking, they are the worst!
Absolutely beautiful 😍 and great job filming!!
Just joined your channel; love the video and living through you guys. Enjoy yourself, have an awesome time, and please be safe!
Thank you so much!
Oh man.... Now we're having FOMO that we missed the ice rink tunnel!!!
haha it really was like an ice rink... minus having the appropriate gear for ice skating 😂
So glad to see you folks enjoying the travel. Seems the folks we run into are old farts like me. Wish I had thought of this lifestyle while I was younger.
Safe travels and keep up the videos we are really enjoining them.
Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos!
Awesome!!!! This was one of your best videos. Craig you are going to have to start a production company soon. Getting real good with the editing.
Thank you so much! I've been trying to work on some new techniques lately
We would like to make a suggestion. Can you put the date at the beginning of the video. Thanks, Stacy, Steve & the pups ❤
We added it to our description! And will keep doing that for our Alaska series
Love seeing your videos. I especially loved the scripture you shared.😇
Thank you so much!

haha we keep running into people here (there are only so many roads lol), so there's a good chance!
Beautiful water falls!
So glad we got to see them!
I have a plastic pipe that is 12inches longer thsn the slide out can travel .i lay it on the ground against the pole or tree and back it .
Amazing video of the area! BTW. It’s pronounced mer can tile. Which means, a general store. Be safe up there!
Wow, wow and WOW, the scenery is simply amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing with us...
Thank you so much for coming along!
Gooood video guys!!! Alaska scenery is very beautiful and dramatic, yet peaceful and tranquil!!! Your video makes us wanna go back.
The mosquitos in Alaska and Maine are a helluva lot more vicious than in Florida for sho!!!!
For the e-bikes, I don’t see the helmets and padded fingerless gloves I recommended after the incident. I just fell off mine the other day in a little bit of sand just outside of Bryce NP on the bike path. Gloves saved the hands on the fall.
The mosquitoes are definitely more aggressive lol. I thought we’d be used to them from Florida, but these are a different breed for sure 😆🤣
Thank you so much for sharing your video... this gives a hope to go one day... I love your videos.
I hope you get the opportunity!!
Great video! What time of the year were you in Valdez?
About a month ago!
Looks like a lot of fun!
We really enjoyed it, thanks for watching!!
🤩 🤩😮Wow!!! The scenery is amazing!! Especially those waterfalls!!!❤
They were AMAZING! Thanks for watching!
That was a great video, it was just fun to watch. Thank you so much for the great content - i want to go so bad!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you can visit one day, it's quite the trip!
Wow! This footage is so freaking beautiful! Thank you for sharing your exploration!
Thank you so much! and I'm so glad we were able to capture some of the beauty there!
McCarthy is not a day trip. The miles are short but the road is rough. It's only 60 miles but can take 2-3 hours to drive. Alaska is meant to done slowly not rushed.
How beautiful! You both are so fun 😊
Thank you so much!
Minnesota country side in the summer the mosquito 🦟 will eat you up
Yea they never tell you about the huge learning curve at the RV dealer when it comes to these things. You’d think the manufacturers would want to build them nice a strong and made to last. But alas no the money you have yet to spend to fix everything will be staggering. You should have bought a boat
Epic scenery!❤ If we ever go back to Alaska we will have to visit Valdez.
for sure!! Thanks for watching!
