Thank you for another great video, Boron California is where allot of the Borax was transported to. Boron is between Mojave and Barstow, and has a good Borax 20 mule team museum. Enjoy, and stay well during these difficult times.
Hi kids. We were there just a couple of weeks before you and also experienced a huge wind event. The power was out for several days making for some interesting times. We also got lost after coming out of the tunnel at the lodge, but the cleaning staff helped us find our way to some adult beverages. All in all Death Valley NP is an amazing park unlike the others. great video!!!
You are both great videographers! VERY professional and a pleasure to watch. I am 68 years young now, but haven’t been to Death Valley since I went camping with my parents, as a child. The colors there look fantastic...very interesting rock formations. Hopefully we can visit there in our motorhome next winter, as I don’t tolerate 125+ degree temperatures! Continue with your wonderful videos, and stay safe wherever you’re self-isolating.
Hey Bri and T.J.....a very well done video on Death Valley Nat'l Park....one of the best I've seen....nice hikes and choice of view points and commentary....That Hotel was super at the end...People never show Scotty's Castle though....Always enjoy your videos....Hope all is well with you two....Hank and Pam from South Texas
Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately, Scotty's Castle was closed when we were there. A flash flood washed away the road and we were told it would be about a year before it was re-opened. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂
So glad you guys posted a video about Death Valley. It is a very unique park and well worth the effort to visit. I really enjoy your video's and seeing your viewpoint on the places you have visited. Thank you and keep them coming! Stay safe!
Heading to the Inyo Mountains soon which overlooks Death Valley can't wait to explore where you have been. Thank you for all of the interesting places and videos that you share. Your husband is one lucky man not only for your beauty but for sharing everything you do together.
My wife, daughter and I have stayed numerous times at The Furnace Creek Inn where you guys were sitting at the very end of this video, It's magical there. You spend days around the Spring fed swimming pool sipping Margaritas, The night time you sit around the fire just relaxing Star Gazing. The rooms even expensive are rustic from the 1920's era. A very special place.
We stayed at Furnace Creek years ago when our kids were young and we were heading back from a long 2 week road trip through the Canyonlands! We LOVED Death Valley! There is sooo much to see and do there that you could easily spend a week checking it all out. It was fun watching this and reliving some of those memories!
Living in Northern Nevada Furnace Creek in March and October is our favorite place to camp. Next time you're in Furnace Creek Death Valley you need to drive Titus Canyon and go up to Ubehebe Crater. Thank you for your great video tour of Death Valley.
I like how you expressed the idea at the end of the video that travels teach us about how even stark country like Death Valley can have its own intrinsic beauty. It is the lesson that wanderlust teaches us. Keep em coming.
Thanks for another beautiful video!! It’s amazing that with only 2 inches of rain per year that there’s ANYTHING green in Death Valley! We really appreciate your wonderfully edited and informative videos - we’re ready to camp as soon as the campgrounds are open and your videos keep us pumped up and excited to go! Be safe! 😎
Another fantastic video! I am watching in envy (as you probably are as well) and can not wait to get on the road. We have already canceled 1 trip out and probably have to delay a longer 3 week trip as well. You guys have fine tuned your videos for sure. I loved them from the beginning and cant wait for your new ones all the time. Pro level good videos!
Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊 We really appreciate your kind words and are happy to have you along on the adventure! Please stay safe and healthy too 👍
We loved the extremes of the park. So cool the different perspectives from being 282 below sea level at Badwater Basin and then over a mile high at Dante’s View looking down on the salt flats. We hope you’re able to get there soon!
Wow this was amazing! Too bad the puppies couldn’t join you on the hike. They are so cool. Thank you for sharing this adventure! The hotel in the end looked beautiful. My wife has d as steady looked up the details and added it to our “to do list” for the future!
Death Valley is a must do and the inn is a true oasis(not cheap), but a great place to enjoy a beverage after a day in the desert. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂
It was nice to see this in my list. I ordered a 2021 E350 to convert into a RV. I'm glad to see you had no problems with your van on the roads there. Take care and be safe. I gave the video a thumbs up 👍
So much more to do in Death Valley than we ever imagined - we actually missed the sand dunes and the crater which are both main features of the park. This is also the place where the rocks race (you can see their trail where they slowly move across the desert floor), but it’s extremely far down a very bad road to get there which was why we decided to skip it. Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching and commenting, Lucy!
Bri is definitely a Florida girl. She is most comfortable in flip flops! It's great for me(Tj) because she has a very small shoe collection 😉 She does have an almost brand new pair of hiking boots that are about 10 years old. Thanks for commenting. Travel safe.
Really love your videos. Your definitely my favorite channel! You do a great job! Love the Fur babies, They seem well adapted to your life style. They are living the good life. God bless. Safe travels!
Wow, thank you so much, Mark 🥰 That really means a lot to us, especially with all the amazing channels out there to choose from! We are so fortunate to have such an adaptable and willing fur-crew, we thank our lucky stars for them. Thank you so much for your kind words and support, we’re happy to have you along for the adventure!!
I'm new to your channel and loving your vlogs! It's been a relaxing escape from the uncertainties of the world. I've actually wondered about your whereabouts during this pandemic. Hopefully you'll talk about it in a future video. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us all! Stay safe, be well.
Welcome to the channel, we’re happy to have you along for the adventure! And I can’t tell you how awesome it is to hear that our videos might be helping some people get through this pandemic, we appreciate you saying that 🙏 Thank you for your kind words and wishes, please stay safe as well!
Haha 🥾😆 I do own hiking boots, I just make poor shoe choices. I am a Florida girl, after all - we do everything in sandals 😉 Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for tuning in 👍
@@EmbracingDetours Made me cringe when you kicked the cactus and got it stuck in your toes....like hubby said...need to take multi-tool along just to remove cacti...lol....🥾 🌵 🏜
Haha, I know, right?! I’m sure getting a jumping cholla cactus stuck in the end of my foot in Organ Pipe a couple of months ago is part of the concern... but there were no cactus in Death Valley!! I honestly never imagined the my shoe choice would get the attention it has, but I do appreciate everyone’s concern. And thank you so much, we’re glad to have you along for the adventure 👍😊
Enjoyable videos! We are currently waiting to begin our travels when this is over. Camper is in the garage getting upgrades. Oh, and I love my sandals too!
Congrats on getting ready to hit the road, Susan! In the meantime, glad you’re able to use this time to be productive in getting your rig ready. And thank goodness I’m not alone in loving my sandals!! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed 👍
@@EmbracingDetours I guess im a sissy....lol im an ole man and I love open footwear....guess its the old hippy coming out...Im either barefoot...flips...or sandals...I guess some guys think its unmanly....but I see allot of guys with sandals or flips....theyre also more comfortable with neropathy....love your vids....interesting and scenic...stay safe out there !!
Loved this episode and thanks for taking us along. We were supposed to head to Death Valley the end of March but our trip didn't happen because of the shut down. We hope to one day try again.
Nice summary of DV. We intend to visit DV next winter. The coverage of your hikes are invaluable to judge what we can tackle, thanks for that. However, I cringe when I see the misses hiking in sandals, climbing up drop offs, slick rocks, etc. I thought you would have learned a lesson in Tucson, with the cactus encounter. Please, please, if you intend to hike, buy some hiking shoes.
First time commenting after watching many of your videos and becoming a subscriber. I now have two “must see” channels, yours and Wonderhussy. Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your videos!
Dang, I thought that was a critter over her left shoulder at 5:51, thought "Wow, that thing is trucking it" then realized it probably was a truck! :) Loved the video!
It’s really funny you mention that because when I was watching it I also noticed that fast moving object in the distance and thought someone was driving an RC car or something. So, you’re not alone... I was actually there in person and still didn’t know what I was seeing 🤦♀️😆 Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching and commenting 👍
That was a really really good video that is the most prettiest country out there I don't know how much you watch the video but TJ's behind you hold those two drinks with a big grin on his face as funny as hell to watch he's like saying man this is the good life two drinks in my hand okay will you guys take care looking forward to the next video even if it is clean out your closet as you sad a few weeks back okay you to take care of yourself
Haha, a couple of beers in an oasis after a long hot day of exploring is not a bad way to end the day 🍻 You take care as well, we’ll see you next week!
I had no interest in visiting Death Valley...until I watched this. Thanks for showing a different kind of beauty. Now I have added a place to my "must visit" list. The fact that I love Badlands National Park should have been a clue to me that I would love Death Valley. Now...the most important question. What are your favorite beers?
Death Valley is a must see! It's funny, before we hit the road I (TJ) very rarely drank beer. I find I really enjoy the experiences at craft breweries we find in our travels. As far as favorites, that's a tough one... I like everything from dark beers to PBR 🙂One of my favorites from our travels was a Burnt Marshmallow Nitro Porter in Petoskey, MI. Thank you for watching and commenting.
We’re putting in our 10,000 hours! We still have a lot of progress to make but appreciate you sticking around while we figure it out 👍 You stay safe too.
Thanks for another great video. Stay safe and healthy. If and when you make a trip to Tennessee, let me know. If in my area, I will give you some tips.
I love your channel. I'm waiting for the covid-19 to be over and if my health will permit, I'm heading out. I love in south central Missouri. I'm close to watching all your video's with a (like) on each one. I love how you all describe the areas. Bree you have the most perfect pronouncing of words, love to hear you talk. Happy trails my friends.
Someone on Facebook's 'Airstream Addicts' posed a question yesterday as to who your favorite "You Tube" Airstream site was and I was so pleased to see Embracing Addicts on the replies so often. Now, if you, and all the rest of us could get back on the road soon when all is safe!
I think it’s one of those things that’s used in a lot of different things but no one really knows what it is. The laundry booster was the only time I’d every heard of Borax. Glad you enjoyed the video - as always, thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Another interesting fact about Death Valley, as you said it has the lowest point in the USA, but it also sits only 80 miles from the highest point in the lower 48 states, Mount Whitney in CA.
If you want more information on the 20 mule team borax wagons look at the Engelscoachshop youtube channel. He built wheels and wagons a few years ago and he has video of the teams hooked up and pulling the wagons. It is a large group of people that get together to do the mule team pulls.
Great video! I don't know how you hike in flat bottom sandals, that has to be killing your arches. I need hiking boots or and good pair of athletic sneakers with some sort of arch supports to hike in that terrain. Plus the tread would help you on those slick rocks. Stay safe.
@@EmbracingDetours glad I looked at comments b4, I was going to make a similar statements about protection for those lovely little toe's , stay safe love the video
Awesome - thank you so much for that, Herman!! I’m sure those cooler temps are necessary the later in the year you go 🥵 So glad to hear you’re enjoying our videos, thank you for watching and commenting 👍😊
Thank you! We very rarely make a reservation. We like having the flexibility to change things up at a moments notice. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂
I have to agree with you on the desert. It as to grow on you. How long did it take you to do that hike up to the top of that hike with the 2 dry waterfalls? The views from the top are awesome.
I don’t know of any RUclipsrs that make better videos than you guys!😊 I really think the NPS should loosen the restrictions on dogs, I mean as long as they’re on the leash why not? Soooo many people bring their dogs with them on vacation. I get what you guys mean about the desert it is beautiful and unique but there’s nothing like heavily wooded mountains and rivers& waterfalls!!! 🥰👍👌🙏🏻🎉🎉
Awww, you’re making us blush ☺️ As always, thank you Loran 🤗 We look forward to your comments every week, they bring a smile to our faces! I understand both sides of dogs not being allowed on the trails in National Parks. Unfortunately, not all dog owners are good dog owners... actually, there was a very bad dog fight in the campground while we were there and the Ranger had to get involved and determine if action needed to be taken against the attacking dog. It was a crazy situation made much worse by a bad owner. As with a lot of things, everybody ends up paying the price for the actions of a few. I was just stumped why that particular paved trail was not dog friendly as usually paved trails in National Parks are.
Bri & TJ yeah you are right, if people were just responsible enough with their dogs you could probably bring them to a lot more places! By the way your dogs are beautiful!.....the cats too...😝
Thank you, Bill! I actually have hiking boots but I’m a glutton for punishment and just really like wearing sandals. But they’re Chaco’s so they’re basically hiking sandals!!
@@EmbracingDetours great after 4 it Air rates m.aske shore you change the oil in the top for the injection oil pump and add z little Lucas Additive goid one you two injoy and be save!!
This is April 21st. You just put a video up called stuck in Las Vegas or something like that and I watched it and now it's gone! I was going to give it a thumbs up and a message came on saying that the video didn't exist. I know RUclips is gone crazy and lost its mind, I wonder if it didn't like something about your video?
That’s a great question and one I don’t know the answer to, honestly. Maybe someone reading through the comments will have some insight for us... On an unrelated note, I noticed you commented on our Airstream Factory Tour video about a week ago and was curious how you saw that? I ask because we never published it, so it was very odd that you were able to see it. Your comment was gone shortly after when I refreshed, so I’m guessing it must have been a glitch in YT. Anyways, you’re the only one that’s every seen that video!!
😂 Very special indeed! I figured that was the case, just a YT glitch I suppose 🤷♀️ With us quickly running out of content due to self isolation, we may end up releasing that video one day soon... you just got a sneak peek 😉
My wife and I travel much of the west, and having recently been in Death Valley NP (I am an astronomer, and participated in the Death Valley Dark Sky Festival in February), we hiked many of the locales to which you ventured. I noticed your foot apparel. Tch, tch, tch - you had some close calls in sandals going up and down loose gravel. For that type of terrain, please wear some closed shoes, preferrably with some 'cleated' soles. I would feel very sad if one of your videos came out from an armchair-on-wheels (wheelchair) as a result of a bad fall.
We must have just missed each other in Death Valley, we were there the end of February. I know you’re right about the hiking shoes it’s just so darn hot there that sandals were too tempting. And they’re Chaco’s which are meant for hiking, just not enough tread for loose gravel hiking. I do appreciate your concern and agree, I don’t want to end up in an armchair-on-wheels (that’s a fun way to say wheelchair!) 👍
@@EmbracingDetours I wondered about your shoes. I was going to ask you what kind they are. Glad someone said something about them and you mentioned the brand, 😃. Thanks!
Thank you for another great video, Boron California is where allot of the Borax was transported to. Boron is between Mojave and Barstow, and has a good Borax 20 mule team museum. Enjoy, and stay well during these difficult times.
Thanks for the info! Safe travels 🙂
Great video , thank you from the Mid West,
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
The one thing that I remember about Death Valley is how quiet it is, no birds, no leaves, no traffic, just the sound of you walking and breathing.
Great video again. Death Valley is in my top 2 National Parks so far with Glacier
thanks for your time guys.
Our pleasure! Thank you for following along 🙂
Hi kids. We were there just a couple of weeks before you and also experienced a huge wind event. The power was out for several days making for some interesting times. We also got lost after coming out of the tunnel at the lodge, but the cleaning staff helped us find our way to some adult beverages. All in all Death Valley NP is an amazing park unlike the others. great video!!!
Aside from the windstorm, we truly enjoyed our time in DV. Travel safe and thank you for watching and commenting 😁
You are both great videographers! VERY professional and a pleasure to watch. I am 68 years young now, but haven’t been to Death Valley since I went camping with my parents, as a child. The colors there look fantastic...very interesting rock formations. Hopefully we can visit there in our motorhome next winter, as I don’t tolerate 125+ degree temperatures! Continue with your wonderful videos, and stay safe wherever you’re self-isolating.
Fantastic vid guys, beautiful scenery and excellent camera work.
Thank you so much 😀
Hey Bri and T.J.....a very well done video on Death Valley Nat'l Park....one of the best I've seen....nice hikes and choice of view points and commentary....That Hotel was super at the end...People never show Scotty's Castle though....Always enjoy your videos....Hope all is well with you two....Hank and Pam from South Texas
Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately, Scotty's Castle was closed when we were there. A flash flood washed away the road and we were told it would be about a year before it was re-opened. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂
So glad you guys posted a video about Death Valley. It is a very unique park and well worth the effort to visit. I really enjoy your video's and seeing your viewpoint on the places you have visited. Thank you and keep them coming! Stay safe!
Yay!!!! Another Embracing Detours video. I needed this being stuck at home. Thank you, take care.
So sweet - thank you, Bill 🤗 Grab a drink and get comfortable, this is a long one!
The longer the better😀
Heading to the Inyo Mountains soon which overlooks Death Valley can't wait to explore where you have been. Thank you for all of the interesting places and videos that you share. Your husband is one lucky man not only for your beauty but for sharing everything you do together.
My wife, daughter and I have stayed numerous times at The Furnace Creek Inn where you guys were sitting at the very end of this video, It's magical there. You spend days around the Spring fed swimming pool sipping Margaritas, The night time you sit around the fire just relaxing Star Gazing. The rooms even expensive are rustic from the 1920's era. A very special place.
It is an amazing inn. A true oasis in the desert! Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂

Thank you for the kind words!
Cool video. Great shots! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Great video! I lived/worked @ Stovepipe Wells up until end of March when the park was closed. It is a beautiful, other worldly place.
It really is! Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂

You should’ve went to Scotty’s Castle when you were at Death Valley. You have to make that one on your next trip.👌🏽🇺🇸
I love your channel. I'm waiting for the covid-19 to be over and if my health will permit, I'm heading out. I love in south central Missouri. I'm close to watching all your video's with a (like) on each one. I love how you all describe the areas. Bree you have the most perfect pronouncing of words, love to hear you talk. Happy trails my friends.
I love your channel guys.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Someone on Facebook's 'Airstream Addicts' posed a question yesterday as to who your favorite "You Tube" Airstream site was and I was so pleased to see Embracing Addicts on the replies so often. Now, if you, and all the rest of us could get back on the road soon when all is safe!
thumbs up thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Had to look up borax. Not sure what it is. They make a 20 mule team detergent booster. Learned something again. Great video guys thanks.
I think it’s one of those things that’s used in a lot of different things but no one really knows what it is. The laundry booster was the only time I’d every heard of Borax. Glad you enjoyed the video - as always, thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Another interesting fact about Death Valley, as you said it has the lowest point in the USA, but it also sits only 80 miles from the highest point in the lower 48 states, Mount Whitney in CA.
If you want more information on the 20 mule team borax wagons look at the Engelscoachshop youtube channel. He built wheels and wagons a few years ago and he has video of the teams hooked up and pulling the wagons. It is a large group of people that get together to do the mule team pulls.
Another great video. I love your narrative as you discover these wonderful places. I don't understand the "No Dogs" rules for these parks though.
Thank you, Jim! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying our videos, we appreciate you coming along for the adventure 👍
We were there at the same time. (spotted our RV in the background) The wind was crazy.
Wish we had the opportunity to say hi! Thanks for watching and commenting. Safe travels.
Bless you guys, we hope to meet
You one day.
Great video! I don't know how you hike in flat bottom sandals, that has to be killing your arches. I need hiking boots or and good pair of athletic sneakers with some sort of arch supports to hike in that terrain. Plus the tread would help you on those slick rocks. Stay safe.
Another great video! 👍
Thank you so much, John! We really appreciate your support 😁
Dude, get your girl some hiking shoes! 😉👍
Hehe, it’s so funny the things that people pick up on in videos that we don’t expect 😆 I do have hiking boots, I promise!!
Embracing Detours
Boots do no good sitting in your rig.
@@EmbracingDetours glad I looked at comments b4, I was going to make a similar statements about protection for those lovely little toe's , stay safe love the video
36.3391507, -116.5995017 Great boondocking spot if you ever go back. Sits at a bit over 3000 feet so a bit cooler. Love your videos!
Awesome - thank you so much for that, Herman!! I’m sure those cooler temps are necessary the later in the year you go 🥵 So glad to hear you’re enjoying our videos, thank you for watching and commenting 👍😊
As usual great videography ! How’s the trans been doing on the van ? Cheers !
Thank you, the van is doing great 🙂
Beautiful view 💗
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching and commenting, April 😊
Great Video, thanks for all your time shooting and editing, how is the transmission holding up in the van?
Thank you, Theodore. I hate to jinx it, but everything has been really going well since the rebuild 🙂
Fun! Love your videos!. Do you guys make reservations or wing it? Or both?
Thank you! We very rarely make a reservation. We like having the flexibility to change things up at a moments notice. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂
Thank you , I definitely want to be on the list,,,, ありがとう、
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching 👍
I have to agree with you on the desert. It as to grow on you. How long did it take you to do that hike up to the top of that hike with the 2 dry waterfalls? The views from the top are awesome.
I don’t know of any RUclipsrs that make better videos than you guys!😊 I really think the NPS should loosen the restrictions on dogs, I mean as long as they’re on the leash why not? Soooo many people bring their dogs with them on vacation. I get what you guys mean about the desert it is beautiful and unique but there’s nothing like heavily wooded mountains and rivers& waterfalls!!! 🥰👍👌🙏🏻🎉🎉
Awww, you’re making us blush ☺️ As always, thank you Loran 🤗 We look forward to your comments every week, they bring a smile to our faces! I understand both sides of dogs not being allowed on the trails in National Parks. Unfortunately, not all dog owners are good dog owners... actually, there was a very bad dog fight in the campground while we were there and the Ranger had to get involved and determine if action needed to be taken against the attacking dog. It was a crazy situation made much worse by a bad owner. As with a lot of things, everybody ends up paying the price for the actions of a few. I was just stumped why that particular paved trail was not dog friendly as usually paved trails in National Parks are.
Bri & TJ yeah you are right, if people were just responsible enough with their dogs you could probably bring them to a lot more places! By the way your dogs are beautiful!.....the cats too...😝
Love the videos, looks like you need some proper hiking shoes, open toe must be tough
Thank you, Bill! I actually have hiking boots but I’m a glutton for punishment and just really like wearing sandals. But they’re Chaco’s so they’re basically hiking sandals!!
We get what’s called Santa Ana’s in Orange County, California.
Hi its peter !! Hope your changing that oil 4000 miles !!
I actually change our oil every 3000 miles 👍
@@EmbracingDetours great after 4 it Air rates m.aske shore you change the oil in the top for the injection oil pump and add z little Lucas Additive goid one you two injoy and be save!!
ALL OF THE INTERESTING GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS ALL AROUND THE WORLD SOMETIMES MAKES ME WISH I HAD BECOME A GEOLOGIST.
This is April 21st. You just put a video up called stuck in Las Vegas or something like that and I watched it and now it's gone! I was going to give it a thumbs up and a message came on saying that the video didn't exist. I know RUclips is gone crazy and lost its mind, I wonder if it didn't like something about your video?
There was a technical problem. We are working on it now and the video should be up soon. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for the heads up 👍
I want to go to Scotty's Castle but because of a serious flood 3 years ago, it is being renovated and won't be open until 2021.
So how likely is it for you to encounter a flash flood while hiking in those canyons? I have no idea having never been to that area.
That’s a great question and one I don’t know the answer to, honestly. Maybe someone reading through the comments will have some insight for us...
On an unrelated note, I noticed you commented on our Airstream Factory Tour video about a week ago and was curious how you saw that? I ask because we never published it, so it was very odd that you were able to see it. Your comment was gone shortly after when I refreshed, so I’m guessing it must have been a glitch in YT. Anyways, you’re the only one that’s every seen that video!!
@@EmbracingDetours LOL, I am obviously very special. Seriously, it was listed in your video content. So, that's how I was able to view it.
😂 Very special indeed! I figured that was the case, just a YT glitch I suppose 🤷♀️ With us quickly running out of content due to self isolation, we may end up releasing that video one day soon... you just got a sneak peek 😉
@@EmbracingDetours I just checked my history and it's no longer listed.
Come on guys, why didn't you pan the view at the top of the mountain?
Where’s the bloopers video while we are all stuck at home?
We have been getting a lot of request for bloopers lately. We'll try to get more in soon 😁
Hehe you are a go getter girl. Wearing sandals in the desert and only wearing a hat half of the time you go girl
I’m sure my skin and feet will be cussing me one day 😳 Haha, thanks for watching and commenting, Tim!
Did you see any snakes?
No snakes. 🐍
My wife and I travel much of the west, and having recently been in Death Valley NP (I am an astronomer, and participated in the Death Valley Dark Sky Festival in February), we hiked many of the locales to which you ventured. I noticed your foot apparel. Tch, tch, tch - you had some close calls in sandals going up and down loose gravel. For that type of terrain, please wear some closed shoes, preferrably with some 'cleated' soles. I would feel very sad if one of your videos came out from an armchair-on-wheels (wheelchair) as a result of a bad fall.
We must have just missed each other in Death Valley, we were there the end of February. I know you’re right about the hiking shoes it’s just so darn hot there that sandals were too tempting. And they’re Chaco’s which are meant for hiking, just not enough tread for loose gravel hiking. I do appreciate your concern and agree, I don’t want to end up in an armchair-on-wheels (that’s a fun way to say wheelchair!) 👍
@@EmbracingDetours I wondered about your shoes. I was going to ask you what kind they are. Glad someone said something about them and you mentioned the brand, 😃. Thanks!
@@EmbracingDetours Thank goodness there were no jumping cactus. I can't take it.
@Bea M - Love my Chacos! Only complaint is they can get stinky, TJ has been known to throw them out of the trailer a time or two 🤭😆
@iswatman haha, true!!! 🌵👀🤣
