    The rainforest trails were beautiful! The water was gorgeous. The campground was beautiful. It is always an added bonus to be so close to the water. I loved all the driftwood on the beaches! Molly is such a great hiker! The ice cream looked delicious! Thank you for another gorgeous video!

    Heya from a Canadian who lived in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island for 33 years. I just had to say you're doing a lovely job of showcasing the beauty of the island. I always appreciated how lucky I was to live in beautiful BC and experience it first hand every day. Thank you for your video. I miss walking the beaches and the trails, the peace and quiet and the smell of the ocean. I hope Canada treated you well and safe travels!

    Another beautiful video, y'all! We loved the views of the lake and seashore. Stan's "oh no, not that" expression when Rhonda started tossing ideas around when the planned kayaking fell through was really funny! He didn't look too enthusiastic for some reason! I wonder why? 🤔🤫😉😂
    Those scenes brought back a lot of memories of our trip to the UP this past summer and the places we stayed. The decaying trees feeding new life in the forest brought back memories of rotting tree stumps in the UP. Those are what's left of the clear cutting of the forests there at the turn of the 20th century. Those stumps are still there more than 120 years later, though somewhat worse for wear.
    Stan sharing Rhonda's outhouse "experience" (have y'all noticed that everything today is an "experience" whether it is or not) brought back memories of our trips to the "little brown house" behind our cabin in the UP when we were kids. The one we used was tar paper on the plank walls, and no one could stand the smell; it was quite "aromatic" and would definitely clear you sinuses. Bats would get up behind the tar paper because it was warm there during the day. My sisters were scared witless about those bats. We certainly are spoiled with our flush toilets these days!
    Thank you so much for sharing your travels with everyone. They are well done and very enjoyable! Keep up the good work! One thing we like is when you record the signage and information kiosks along the trails. We can pause the video and read the story. That really adds another dimension to y'alls videos. We look forward to the new cinematography every week!
    Take care, safe travels, and God bless y'all!

      Good morning Bob and Dottie, your comments are always so inspirational. What would we do without you. It warms our hearts every time we read them knowing it brings back some great memories. Rhonda busting out of the outhouse was one of the funniest things she has ever done. I will remember that for the rest of my life. We regret we did not get that on video. But honestly who would believe it’s real with me standing there with a video camera. May God continue to bless you both, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

Rhonda, you don't put gas in a diesel engine. Gotta pick on you a wee bit, or I wouldn't be me. Stan, your barking "get on the ground" skeered me.

      Hi Stuward, that’s pretty funny. I have always told Rhonda. My life in Law Enforcement was living two lives. The two were totally different. Rhonda called it the changing of the hats. I like the quiet Stan. Now there is only one Stan. I don’t have to get my point across anymore, no more quick second decisions, and most importantly I get to shine the light of the Lord without retribution. It never stop me because I always shared the Lord with folks at the worst time of their lives. God always has a plan. I would tell them. You can accept it or don’t and continue on the same road you’re on. Thank you for allowing me to share. Till the next time, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

    Hi, we want to thank you for guiding us as we were looking for a 5th wheel to full time in. A week ago we purchased a 2025, Grand Design Influence 3503GK and per your recommendation we also purchased an Anderson hitch. Interesting we moved from a Grand Design Imagine 2670ML sorta like you guys. We live in Walla Walla Washington and had to go to Great Falls Montana to get our rig. We are sure loving our choice. Thank you for your blog. Wes and Karen

I can’t say enough about the Anderson Hitch. It’s not for everyone but it is definitely the one for us. We love the simplicity of it. Thank you for being a part of our journey. We hope to see you down the road one day. Blessings on your new adventure, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

    when you come on down back into the states and you come through Washington State,
    you might take in the Olympic National Forest. You could make the loop from Port Angles/
    Forks (where they filmed the Vampire movie) go south on 101 down all the way to Olympia.
    There are some beautiful places to hike, Sal Duck is one of them and the forests are just
    as beautiful as what you see there. Anyway, just a suggestion if you go that way. The
    drive down 101 is also very beautiful and if you stop at Klaylock (sp) Lodge, you can see one of the biggest and oldest cedar trees in the Pacific N.W. Thanks for taking us along,
    and Happy New Year. Here's to many more great adventures!!
