    We take our Lance 825 Truck Camper to explore Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. We camped at Colter Bay Village, hiked to Taggart Lake, fished the Snake River, and took our paddle boards across String and Leigh Lakes, with a short portage trail in between. We enjoyed seeing the park from the water so much that we paddled out to the park’s iconic Oxbow Bend. Get ready for gorgeous sights, a double rainbow, glowing sunsets, and even a bear sighting!

    Your paddling adventure reminds me of when my wife and I were on a tandem kayak in Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe. It was smooth as glass going into the bay but in the afternoon as we were exiting the narrow entrance to the bay the wind kicked up and the waves became pretty substantial. My wife was in front and had no idea how tough it was getting for me to to keep us moving. When we made the right turn out of the bay and headed south in the direction of the wind I was exhausted but fortunately that was when we started getting pushed along with the waves.

      Oh wow! That sounds like quite an adventure! Glad you both were alright. Bet it was worth it, Lake Tahoe is beautiful!

    Either your paddle boards are super stable or you guys are really good. Mine is wobbly and I can't barely stand on mine. I mostly straddle it and use it to fish on. Great video.

    Love your channel!! We are in Colorado Springs and are strongly considering changing from a travel trailer to an 825/850 truck camper. Your channel is helping us ALOT. One question, you have mentioned an inverter. I don't think either the 825 or 850 has the option for a factory installed inverter. Did you install an inverter yourself or have you found a work around? Can you share a little bit about that? I posted this question on a much older video, but I asked it again here in case you don't see comments on the older videos.

    • @thewaywedidit

      Thank you! And how exciting!! We purchased a Renogy 700W inverter and mounted it underneath the dinette seat. When we are not plugged into shore power, we can run all of our electronics off of it like TV and Starlink, but not the AC or microwave. Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any more questions!

    where did you put in for oxebow? Cattleman's bridge? looking at google earth trying to figure it out? going this summer would love to do this

    • @thewaywedidit
      @thewaywedidit  Месяц назад

      Yes Cattleman’s bridge. If you zoom into the map there’s a dirt road on the west side of Oxbow Bend that ends at the sandy beach where we entered the water. Have fun!!

    Hello! Nice trip. It is so pretty. When did you film this? Is it before you got your Dog? I entered the area over that steep pass coming from the West. It was Spring so people were skiing backcountry. I need to go back.
