These two channels CRC & SLR has turned into nothing but “AWESOMENESS” with the land, the move , camping, the adventures of multi families of the same family, all coming together to homestead together, survival & building new homes and memories together ........................ THERE’S ONLY TWO WORDS FOR THESE TWO CHANNELS “ FREAKING AWESOME”!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Tammy Merritt &@@burnindaylighthomestead2977.... My last comment I said these southern knats in my eyes 😂. But Girls it was an awesome 👏 video! Best one they’ve made yet! I ❤️ed it ! 😁👍
Welcome home y'all. My emotions were all over the place on your trip. Listening to Anthony, watching Melanies face at the excitement for her family coming to their new home, Roxies happiness at the beauty. The happiness and excitement of the dogs and kids at the last stop before meeting up with the family. Your mothers voice , experiencing the beauty and talking about Haveing to go back home. And then to see Anthony, Roxann, and Wyatt smileing at the end. So many more emotions. To see your family all together, enjoying the adventure you have included them on ......PRICELESS.....Thank you for including me. Enjoy your family. Till the next time. I can't wait.💓💓💓🎵🎵🎵🎵🍺🍺🍺🍺💓
I enjoyed the journey with you guys across country. I think the greatest thing I heard was at the end when Anthony said, “ I’ve got all my family with me “. That is what it’s all about. Family. There’s nothing better. In the good times or the bad, to be surrounded by supportive family. Hang on to that. Here in Canada because of all the crazy laws restricting our travel, we can’t see family. It’s been over a year for us. So happy for you guys. And so envious, in a good way. Have fun. Be blessed. Hold on to each other. Everything will fall into place one day at a time. Do what you can today and tomorrow will look after itself. Tomorrow never really comes because when it arrives, it’s already today. So happy for all of you.
I am so glad everyone made it there safe and sound. I have been chopping at the bit waiting for the vedio of you all getting there. God bless you all, enjoy your new homestead
Heck yeah!!! Awesome job with the convoy, y'all! Welcome to the South! It tickled me and made me grin from ear to ear listening to you both speak about the trees and the grass and how beautiful it was to you. What a joyful experience. Thanks for taking us along. Good luck and God bless on this new journey. 😁
That was a great vlog Anthony and everyone’s else’s input. Must have been fun to edit that one. Good job everyone on the long drive. Kids did great and so did the pups. Woot woot.
Coming back to when you first started was an awesome view. What a change for your family, you did good Anthony, Rox and Gary, Mel. with all the kiddo's. A beautiful life you have built for your families.
Welcome home to Arkansas! I remember my first impression like it was yesterday! I still love it 16 years later y’all!! Prayers for a journey full of love, laughter, and learning. Like they say...”it don’t get any better than this!”
Loved what Anthony and Roxanne was saying about the trees 🌳 🌲 and grass and beautiful green. I loved your reply also and remembering your first impression 16 yrs later! I was fortunate enough to be born and raised 2 states south east of where you guys are now and I wouldn’t give up this smaller piece greenery property, trees 🌲 🌳 & pasture for all the desert 🌵 area! Even though you been here 16 years Let me say WELCOME HOME 🏡 ❤️😉👍
@@CCRider5312 that’s so sweet of you! Thank you so very much! I still have to pinch myself sometimes. I was raised in So. California a few minutes from the beach, so whenever I miss the ocean I just close my eyes and listen to the wind in the massive trees around my home, and it’s almost the same sound as the waves. You couldn’t pay me to move back!! 🤢
@@renogal7515 cool 😎👍 If you’re in Arkansas and you wanna go to the beach 🏖 just southeast hours away you have: All the Virginia, NC & SC Beaches. Probably NC beaches would be your best Trip to very nice beaches. Such as: Holden Beach, The OutterBanks OBX of NC, or if you want a more modern Beach with lots of things to do then....Myrtle Beach SC is probably the most popular on the eastern seaboard ....but it’s the most crowded also in peak seasons. Cherry Grove SC Sits right between Holden Beach NC and Myrtle Beach SC. It’s not highly developed has some nice campgrounds and you can drive back and forth. Holden Just a few Miles to your North and Myrtle Beach a few short Miles to your south . The OBX’s of NC is pretty quiet and secluded, hosts great fishing 🎣 old ship wrecks & lighthouses to see. The OBX’s is very expensive place to live, not sure about weekend rentals. I’m not sure about now but it used to have a lot of undeveloped grassy marshes beach land. Of course it’s been 20 years since I was at the OutterBanks NC. So it’s probably highly Beach home developed by now, I’m not really sure. 🤷♂️ But my favorite of all the Eastern beaches is Holden Beach NC first and Myrtle second. Holden is More laid back not as much hustle and bustle, not as crowded and hosts some really good fishing. Also Holden Beach has things to do in the area just not as much festivity’s as Myrtle Beach does. My best buddy owns a 2nd home at Holden and we travel 4 hours and go stay there some, go fishing 🎣 on the Holden Beach 🏖 Big fishing pier or take the boat out in the inlet waterways for some tasty 😋 fish 🎣 🐟 🐠 . But you’re not that far in Arkansas from the eastern beaches. It’s only What 13-15 hour drive? Depending on which one you go to and where you’re located in Arkansas. Also NC and SC beaches have nice hotels, Beach Home rentals.... or if you have a camper or tent ⛺️ they both have campgrounds to accommodate You as well. Reno Gal You should go and treat urself sometime soon!!!! I’m serious. It does ones mind, body & Spirit really good to get away to the coast once in a while....Getting to smell 👃 the ocean 🌊 air, hear 👂 those waves 🌊 crashing , watching and hearing the seagulls & pelicans, seeing the dolphins 🐬, take a walk on the beach and enjoy 😊 God’s beautiful creation. Also Putting Hawaiian Tropic lotion on ya lay out & read a good book 📖 as U soak up some sun 🌞 on your beach chair, maybe take a quick dip 🏊♀️ in the ocean. You and your significant other get out and sight see some, or go on a romantic moonlit 🌝 beach walk and feel that ocean 🌊 air.... Then After a few days if you’re like me, you’ve had all the Beach heat you needed & you’re ready to leave. Ready to get back to clay ground and woods, the see forests full of trees 🌲 🌳 🌲 🌳 without swampy water. Your ready to be home sweet home and cooler weather. ❤️😁👍 But you should consider treating yourself to the beach now and then, and they’re close enough you don’t have to drive for days to go back to Cali. I just looked it up: Now where CRC are at.....Driving From- Fort Smith, Arkansas to Holden Beach NC is a 15 hour drive. Also Myrtle Beach SC is also about the same amount of drive time 15 hours. A lot better than several days driving to Cali. 😁👍 The reason I didn’t mention Maryland beaches is they’re more expensive to stay on the Northern east coast plus they’re a longer drive in much worse traffic.
@@CCRider5312 my sister rents a house in a town called Duck(?) something I think? Anyway I was thinking that is exactly what my soul is needing. I’m in N. W. Arkansas in Bella Vista. Everyone always says go to Beaver Lake you’ll love it. I can’t seem to get anyone to understand the difference between ocean and lake boating, shoreline walks ocean smells....just so very different. Thank you for your plethora of information and for rooting the idea even deeper into my brain. I’m seriously contemplating a journey east now. 🥰 🌞 🌊 🏄♀️ 🌊 🧜🏼♀️ 🌊 🌝🥰
@@renogal7515 you won’t be disappointed, it’ll do your, mind, body and spirit wonders. If you come down this way you’ll love it 🥰 for sure. Look everyone needs some adventure in their life. I couldn’t imagine, but it has to be horrible to have aching heart 🖤 dark regrets.....But it must be a horrible place to be for people who live their whole lives and they wait till they’re on their death bed and say: I wished I’d have got out and went somewhere or done something that I always wanted to go or do. Well it’s too late then!!! 🤷♂️ People listen to me: If there is Something you wanna do, set your mind to it and do it!!!! ......Regrets come at a loss of something you could’ve done differently when you had the ability to do it at the time. Do everything in Your abilities that God gave you to keep from having regrets. Because God loves us all and he doesn’t want any of us to have regrets. I’m in my 50’s now and the older I get the wiser I get, I think that’s being given to me from God above ☝️. But nevertheless I know what I’m talking about. I was lucky enough that I drove a tractor trailer all over this country but im retired now. But we live in the most beautiful place in the world 🌍 the USA 🇺🇸 God made it Gorgeous for us that are lucky enough to be here to get out and enjoy 😊. Get out and go see what you’ve been missing. ❤️😉😁👍
Welcome to Arkansas, we’re about 45 minutes from y’all, just over the mtn. When you get the bike out, go check out HWY 7, N or S. Also the old pig trail Hwy 23, Mt. Nebo, Mt. Magazine, petite jean mountain. All great Mtn cruises, lots of bike traffic.
I've been following your channel a little after y'all built your shed to cabin, so I'm going back to watch these... Just have to say, it is heartwarming to see such a big family all move together with a similar goal/dream.
So glad you all made it. I’ve been praying for all of you for 3 days. You are so blessed to have such a loving family that are so close. Isn’t the South beautiful, and lush. Get some good rest but please don’t wait too long until you put another video up. I’m so excited to see everyone reaction.. tell Mel hello. Jane Esther.
So glad you all arrived safely, have been looking forward to this video. The picture of the three of you at the end brought tears to my eyes. Continue to look forward to your adventure on the 41.36........Dolores
A million years ago we moved from California to Texas. My brother and I thought we were going to die. I wrote everything in a journal, everything. I was in 6th grade and it was traumatic. Watching this video I could not help but think of your kids. They will have this beautiful video of all of their family on a great adventure. Glad you all made it safe. Have fun. peace and love, y'all
In 2005 we moved our family from suburban Long Island to rural upstate NY. My kids thought they would die too, lol. Somehow they survived and thrived. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and we've got three strong kids!
I’ve never watched u guys leaving..I moved three n half hour south of all my kiddos almost three years ago. I thought I would see family more but I have seen them only a few times me .. due to health then due to priority.. which makes me sad.. but it is what it is..sadly.. no more said cause why even say how I feel.. it’s not that far.. I do go up north.. but efforts could go both ways
Time Machine: it’s now April 10, 2024… looking back into the past. I’d love to tell this young couple, you’ll do more then your present dreams. -love your videos 3 years later.
I REMEMBER MOVING FROM CALIFORNIA TO OHIO IN 1974, KIDS, PETS AND ALL. HUGH UHAUL WITH EVERYTHING, FIVE DAYS THROUGH SNOW, SLEET AND SNOW IN DECEMBER. WILL NEVER FORGET IT AS YOU WILL NEVER FORGET YOURS, CONGRATS
Aww... so glad yall love it... my late aunt and uncle lived there in Boonville... We are Texans now living in HotSprings for a few years now ..... love it ❤
My husband and I, truly enjoyed your family vlog, of your journey to your new frontier home. Wish we could come along for the adventure. May you all prosper and God protect, guide and watch over you. Happy Adventure.
Arkansas is awesome. Came from living all around the U. S. Moved to AR from AZ. for work and been here now 40 years. Have my horses, dogs, cats, ducks, pond and now getting chickens. People are so friendly like family. You will love it.
I’m so happy and exited y’all all made it safe. I couldn’t push play fast enough. Y’all all take care and be safe and enjoy. We love each and everyone of y’all.
Just now found both channels presented here and I can feel a similar kinderance to your beautiful family. One day property!!!!Whooooo Congrats so very much
We are in West Virginia (Monday) and working our way home (northern Louisiana) to pack for the meetup, my wife has made something for both families to give you.
Eastern Oklahoma and into Arkansas is one beautiful drive. Born and raised in south central Oklahoma. About an hour south of OKC right off I-35. Congratulations on getting HOME! That land surrounding y’all is beautiful. Pieced advice, Listen to the old timers. Their knowledge about the land and the secrets they hold will have you looking at every plant different. Those woods will speak to you. Not all spooky like but the ancestors who worked with the land instead of against it. Sounds corny but once you sit out all by yourself in the early morning hours and just get still you’ll fall in love with your land and it will become abundant for your family. Enjoy the adventures of a lifetime and stay grateful for this awesome blessing!!! 🙏❤️
So proud of you all, certainly not the easiest moves to pull off but you all did it Congratulations & Welcome home. May your families be Bless with all the wishes & dream you had for The Family Compound Homestead.
I’m watching your older videos. I absolutely loved this one. My eyes got a little wet watching it. I’m so happy for you. Arkansas is a great place to live. I live in Arkansas too
I was so excited to see how the trip went!! I was actually obsessing over it waiting for you to post! I must have clicked on your site at least 20 times over the past day or two. So happy for you and the whole family!💚Green heart for Anthony and Roxanne's love of the foliage! I'm just as excited to see the dogs run and play! I'm gonna make Roxanne's oreo truffles in honor of your new adventure and eat them all myself!!
It was really cool to go back in time and see the children when they were small. You guys are gonna have some awesome memories been enjoying all the videos.
Arkansas is my home state, but I've lived in New Mexico and Las Vegas (briefly). I remember moving back here after New Mexico and coming through Oklahoma, having the same reaction as you. I'd forgotten how green everything was and that there were trees everywhere. I live a little over 2 hours North of your new property, up by the Buffalo River, and Love it. Welcome to Arkansas!
The best mosquito repellent I have ever used is Bens in the orange bottle . It is available at Walmart, Amazon and five below is where I first saw it. I have used everything but I went camping at Jordan State Park and never got bite the whole camping trip. Get pots of marigolds and place around your sitting area and that helps to. To keep flies under control hang plastic Ziploc bags of water with 2 or 3 shiny pennies in the bag . It scares the flys away .
This made me cry when you were leaving, I remember when I sold our house when my husband passed away, so many memories 😢😢😢😢😢. But, now you are starting to make new memories ❤️💙❤️
PRAISE GOD YOU ARE ALL TOGETHER WITH YOUR FAMILIES. I AM SO THANKFUL AND HAPPY FOR YOU. SAVE THIS FEELING AND REMEMBER YOU ALL LOVE EACH OTHER. GOD BLESS YOU. WELCOME HOME. WELCOME HOME 🇺🇸❤️🌞💐🌹❤️❤️❤️🌹❤️❤️🌹🌹💐🌹❤️❤️🀄✝️✝️🛐🛐🛐✝️🇺🇸🌹💐🌹🌹✝️🛐
Welcome home! I have enjoyed meeting the other half of your team and will enjoy this family just as much. I have always been around grass and trees, I can't imagine being without them, the humidity though is a killer to me. This was a great video for me, you have inspired me, made me smile and generally lifted my spirits. Good luck and God Bless.

So excited for all of you. Be blessed. Be positive. Be HAPPY!!!!
Home sweet home. So happy for you all!
The green is glorious!!!! I am with you, too many years in high desert, I was in love with the green. But couldn't sell my honey on it. Sad...😭😢😪
Just now found both channels presented here and I can feel a similar kinderance to your beautiful family. One day property!!!!Whooooo Congrats so very much
Watching you guys admiring grass made me laugh, you're right that those who live in the green don't really notice it.
We are in West Virginia (Monday) and working our way home (northern Louisiana) to pack for the meetup, my wife has made something for both families to give you.
Eastern Oklahoma and into Arkansas is one beautiful drive. Born and raised in south central Oklahoma. About an hour south of OKC right off I-35. Congratulations on getting HOME! That land surrounding y’all is beautiful. Pieced advice, Listen to the old timers. Their knowledge about the land and the secrets they hold will have you looking at every plant different. Those woods will speak to you. Not all spooky like but the ancestors who worked with the land instead of against it. Sounds corny but once you sit out all by yourself in the early morning hours and just get still you’ll fall in love with your land and it will become abundant for your family. Enjoy the adventures of a lifetime and stay grateful for this awesome blessing!!! 🙏❤️
Glad you made it safe.....and love the property
Glad we know you made it! Looking forward to seeing your reaction!💝
So proud of you all, certainly not the easiest moves to pull off but you all did it Congratulations & Welcome home. May your families be Bless with all the wishes & dream you had for The Family Compound Homestead.
Gallup is where the Disney artists got the ideas for Cars...

Finally home. Bet it feels good to be there. Relax for a couple of days then start the work yet to be done.
Arkansas is my home state, but I've lived in New Mexico and Las Vegas (briefly). I remember moving back here after New Mexico and coming through Oklahoma, having the same reaction as you. I'd forgotten how green everything was and that there were trees everywhere. I live a little over 2 hours North of your new property, up by the Buffalo River, and Love it. Welcome to Arkansas!
welcome home guys !
Happy to know My oklahoma refreshed ya'all. I love living here.
The best mosquito repellent I have ever used is Bens in the orange bottle . It is available at Walmart, Amazon and five below is where I first saw it. I have used everything but I went camping at Jordan State Park and never got bite the whole camping trip. Get pots of marigolds and place around your sitting area and that helps to. To keep flies under control hang plastic Ziploc bags of water with 2 or 3 shiny pennies in the bag . It scares the flys away .
Thank you so much for the tip. We will look into that. 😊😀
Heck yeah!!! Welcome welcome to The Natural State!! Prayers were answered for safe travels ! 🙏🙏❤❤ So excited for y'all!
Happy you made it safe. Enjoy your beautiful place. Looking forward to seeing your new journey!
So glad you made it safe. I am as excited as you all are. One thing. Watch those babies with the snakes. I will continue to pray for you. Elaine
Fantastic Vlog. You really brought us along. I loved the happy dance song that Roxanne was singing. So great.

Welcome home!
I have enjoyed meeting the other half of your team and will enjoy this family just as much.
I have always been around grass and trees, I can't imagine being without them, the humidity though is a killer to me.
This was a great video for me, you have inspired me, made me smile and generally lifted my spirits.
Good luck and God Bless.
