Thanks for your feedback on the KYD Quick Guide. This is a great way for us to share a little bit more about the places we visit. Especially the things we were unable to do or see. Here is the Quick Guide for Estes, CO www.keepyourdaydream.com/estes
Hey guys when you light Traeger, set it at your desired temp with lid open. When it starts to light it will start smoking, more and more and when it finally gets lit the smoke will dissipate...and you will hear a torch like sound. Once you hear that you can close the lid and pre heat! Good luck they are awesome!!
Hi, Thanks for your beautiful videos, they are always a treat. Question: You mention a set up and take down checklist, I can’t find it. Would you kindly provide a link for us newbies? Thank you :)
You did not stay in Estes Colorado! The town is called Estes Park. Not just Estes. You also mispronounced the name of the town. Additionally, idiots like you that allow their children to swim in Alpine Lakes should have been thrown out of the National Park! Deodorant, shampoo, Hairspray, residual soap Etc, is extremely Hazard to the biodiversity of our lakes in the park. Yes, even if it is biodegradable. Additionally, what the hell are you doing traveling during a pandemic? Total idiots! Please stay out of our state.
Your videos are always both entertaining and educational. Camping is not just about the destination, the getting there is just as important and sometimes even more fun. We can’t wait till we are able to get out and explore again. Thanks for your videos and tidbits of knowledge.
I've been watching KYD off an on from it's beginnings. Your production is great and I'm sure exhausting to make it all come together. You keep rocking it week after week! Well done.
Hello to Marc, Trish, Carson and Caleb. I just love your cinematography. It's some of the best, if not the best of all the channels that I follow. I can't wait to get to Colorado and all destinations west. I really miss the grandeur of the mountains and the serenity of the great plains areas. I'm not with you in person, but be assured I am with you in spirit. So glad you all can be out there in God's Country. Safe Travels and Happy Trails!
We just bought our first travel trailer. I stumbled across your page and am so grateful for it. Your information is priceless but your personalities make it so enjoyable to watch! We are so excited to try some of the things your family has done!!! Thank you!!!
Those guys with the rented corvette have the right idea. Some of my favorite driving came from taking a road trip up in the smoky mountains last year and just enjoying the winding roads and wildlife with my Si.
After watching your channel for a year, we have finally caught up and are now watching live! You’ve inspired our little family in so many ways, not just by camping but in attitudes and our outlook on life. We’ve “Started Small and started now.” Because of your inspiration, we are brainstorming and planning on how we can travel more and be more mobile. We appreciate you, your positivity, and look forward to your adventures!
When Caleb stepped in and said "This is KYD...safety message" and Marc was jumping in the background...I cracked up, full belly laugh...So funny....I want to just also comment how wonderful you guys are. I ache to travel when I watch your video and wish my kids were young again to take them on adventures...and nothing usually makes me wish for that. LOL. I hope you know in your hearts, all of you how special you are as a whole. So many families couldn't do what you are doing...and yet, they could if they would learn. To go on your adventures, to make the videos, to everyday living. It's incredible. But Trish, you do WAY to much regarding the kids...I mean, sorry, no one wants to hear someone else's opinion on how to be a parent but my kids did their own laundry when they got tall enough to put things in the washer and helped make food. They have become self sufficient adults...and 4 are boys, who now make their own food, wash their own clothes, etc. You are super mom and that won't change even if your boys start taking care of themselves more. Having said that, your kids are actually great, you just seem overwelmed sometimes. So much love to your adventure team. HUGS.
You guys make me smile. I look so forward to each episode to see where you’ve gone and what amazing adventures you’ve been part of. Thanks for another great week! Loved it! ☀️
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this channel I needed this tonight. A persons job can take over and make for a bad life. Camping and living is a lot more HEALTHY for U. Thanks again Paul & Susan North Georgia
Oh Mark I laughed so hard and cried when you were jumping for the awning and I'm not sure what you were doing or trying to do, but I'm so glad Trish caught it, Kudos Trish. That place is magificent. : ) peace
Love the videos. Our new Sunday show. We’ve been camping Montana and Idaho the last couple weeks. Makes me feel better that we’re not the only one fixing something every stop.
Keep Your Daydream the Mavic 2 air is awesome, affordable, packable and capable. We love your videos! We’re hanging out in Colorado Springs Garden of the Gods RV Resort for the week and heading up to Ouray, CO on Saturday! Hope to run into y’all one of these days.
1. It’s nice to see the normal stuff because it puts the rest of it in perspective. 2. You mentioned the Matterhorn, when I brag that I got to ski Plateau Rosa at the base of the Matterhorn I always get “What’s a Matterhorn?”... kills the story every time.
Our lab actually got altitude sickness when we were in that area that made him lethargic. Vet recommended pepto and staying overnight instead of traveling further in Jackson.
AHHHSOME EPISODE! You are traveling through beautiful country filled with stunning natural wonders, and we feel so grateful to be coming along with you through your camera lens. Fun, inspiring & beautiful episode that we did not want to end. Cheers & happy travels!
I needed this video. After 4 months of our truck being in the shop getting a lot of overdue repairs and upgrades, We get it back to go on our first trip this year. Boondocking in the Blue ridge mountains of Virginia. While there, a tree limb messes up camper roof, and awning. After 4 more weeks Insurance repairs the camper and on the way home Transmission goes out in the Truck. Sorry to see the problems you are having but glad to see its not only me and its only a season.
We love you guys. This video had some crack up moments. We're from CO and Estes is one of our favs. I'm glad you guys had a good time up there. For you dog owners out there, right next to the fairgrounds is a dog park with swimming for the pups. The Grand Lake side of RMNP is pretty cool too with some great camping. Thanks for the great scenic video. Stay safe.
It may sound hokey, but my first trip to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park was truly a spiritual experience for me. A very dear friend who had lived in CO for 20 years took me with her and we had a blast. We had both seen the Shining so of course we had to go through the Stanley Hotel. Then we enjoyed a cowboy barbecue with live entertainment, followed the next day by a sunrise horseback ride. Oh my gosh, it was surreal to be at the top of the mountain as the sun crested over the top. Part way down the mountain we met up with a few other people and the wranglers made us breakfast on the trail. BEST TRIP EVER!!
We did the same basic trip back in 1995. My top memories was the scenery, the remnants of the Yellowstone fires, the information/protests over the wolves reintroduction and the fishing. Have fun and enjoy!
One thing they really need to improve on is the awning system. That is crazy. I totally enjoy your videos. My hubby asked, “Are you learning anything or just enjoying ?”. I said both.
Your family is so fun. You just never know what to expect from you. I loved the boys going in the freezing water. And I think I would much rather get the pole for the awning than continue to jump up and down. What a hoot!! I love it.
Sat down to watch this episode, grabbed a beer and a few minutes into the show recognized the picnic tables and the elk. We were in the same park along the water. Must have missed you guys by a day in Estes Park... Safe travels, love the channel...
On your smoker -- When you start it up -- to keep it from going "boom" start it on the lowest setting through the start-up (15-20 minutes) and then bring it up to tempature
Love Estes Park, we were there years ago when we lived in Colorado. I'm impressed you can bounce on the balls of your feet like that, btw it took us two years to figure out the proper way to bring down the front awning on our AS. The owner we bought it from obviously had no idea either and that is where we got our misinformation! Awning life is good now!
I watched an outdoor screening of A River Runs Through It when we were in Bozeman, MT 3 years ago celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the movie's release. The film was shown on the lawn of a historical building where they filmed some of the movie. One of my favorite travel moments!
This might be your best video. So professionally edited, Charles Osgood is eating his heart out! I too have the macerator toilet, and my plan is to always be somewhere else when the "big one" hits, if you catch my drift.
Marc, Trish and family.. Love you guys! We had planned a 2 week Colorado trek (that we'd be getting home from right about now), but after consulting with all members of the party, we decided for safety reasons to postpone the trip till June of 2021... We are all living vicariously through you right now!! so far your itinerary has been ours in reverse, and we're really enjoying it. Stay safe!
Great video. I love to see you all having fun. Our state opened up on May 29th. We were there at our favorite state park. We were going for a weekend of fun, Friday through Sunday. Well, we ended up staying 9 days. My husband works 1/2 hr from the park so he went to work while I hung out and enjoyed nature. I love our little RV! We had a great time and we are planning a trip to MO to our favorite little campground and canoeing place for the 4th. Keep the fun coming.
Oh I have amazing memories of Harley trips through Estes Park, Jackson Hole and all around there !!! Beautiful country thanks for the memories!!! Your videos never disappoint, always a joy to watch ! Safe travels :) Blessings
HOPE HANDSOME Charlie feels better!!! & I like the boring stuff, it gives us what is really going on!!!! LOVED it when you told Caleb to slam the door!! OH MY GOSH WAY TOO FUNNY!!!! LOVES/HUGS TO ALL!!!!
Such beautiful scenery and I so love the drone shots, especially when you are driving. The views are just amazing! In a perfect world....we have hiccups from time to time, but you guys handle them so well. Loved seeing the boring parts too, makes it all real life. Hugs, Brenda
I was just hoping last week that you’d give us a glimpse of your “down time”. Don’t count out what you think is unimportant. While my husband enjoys learning about your technical tips and tricks, I enjoy watching you as a family. You guys do a great job!
This is where we live currently. We start our RV journey in about a month. Sad to leave but I know we will be back. Sky Pond is incredible. You get to hang out with marmots at the top next to bright green/blue water. You "climb a waterfall" to get to it. You have to go back and do that.
We love Manor RV park. We stay there once a year. September is amazing, especially when the elk are bugling! Watching the boys swim in that lake... Brrrr! Thanks for a great, chilled episode!
Kind of crazy! We where camping in RMNP Morraine campground when this video came out. Just missed you. Got satellite wifi on my hubbies truck so we watched our Sunday RUclips favorites KYD. We only live hour away so frequent the park. Watching your boys jump in that water made my toes curl. 🥶. We have never stayed in the town of Estes. We have a coveted spot that has a view of Morraine Valley and river and Longs peak. Its not easy to get! Enjoyed your video as always. You guys move FAST! Wish I had your energy! Safe travels!
I’ve been watching since season one and it’s amazing to see you guys still going strong!!! The boys are all grown up now and it’s just great to see you guys together as a family.
Love that you were in my neck of the woods - colorful Colorado!! Come back and visit again soon and stay longer next time. Thanks for showcasing our wonderful state. Thanks for sharing
I look forward all week to Sunday evening, as I really enjoy your videos. Beautiful photography, loved seeing the elk. Just like deer they bed down near the campers, unafraid of humans. Wish your videos would last a little longer, but I have to accept what I can of you wonderful folks & the adventure your taking me on. Thank you for sharing. I hope Charliue is okay. Adorable 'lil fella. I hope nothing else goes awry.
I had a Viair dual pump setup with a 10 gallon air tank on my last pickup. It seemed like I used that thing at least once a week almost the whole time I had it. It is the one thing I regret not taking off the truck before I traded it in.
Hi Trish and Marc. Great video. Sad to hear you set your Traeger on fire. I did that once. My husband figured out that we needed to set the temp for the Treager 50 to 75 degrees past what you actually want the Treager desired cooking temp to be. When the Treager reaches a little past your desired temp then back off the temp to that desired temp to cook. We haven’t set our Treager on fire since. We’ve have our travel Traeger going on 4 years and we love it. Good luck!
I am so hooked on your videos. We were in Breckenridge in Sept. and drove to Estes Park on Sept. 30th. Being from NY, the trailer is no in storage until the end of May when we head out to some local camp grounds, then the finger lakes of NY. I'd love to go to Maine this year, as I have never been. Thank you so much for allowing us to travel with you, and see America through your eyes. You videos are incredible. RJourney
I had the privilege of speaking with Marc once or twice a while back and when i told my boys, who I spoke with, they were soooo impressed with Daddy! They told their friend that same day... "My dad talked on the phone with one of his fav youtubers! Ya..my Dad talks to RUclipsRS!" lol ( I think that is called Dad Cred! lol>>>????)
You all make me laugh, and the boys swimming on snow beach OMG...and Marc jumping up and down what a great calf workout but sorry I was dying...you never said how Charly was doing...the scenery was stunning...great video again family, can't wait for next weekend...love Peggy 💗 ♥ 💓
Sorry unable to edit last comment. Just wanted you to know I have used and love the checklists. They have their place in their laminated sleeve right on the counter. Saved me more than once.
Stumbled across your channel by accident. A very welcome accident now. Myself, my wife, my kids, we're all hooked on your channel now. My family has been looking at getting a travel trailer but we've been debating back and forth over which one, do I need a bigger truck, etc. Your message in earlier episodes to start now with what you've got has motivated us. We won't be full time, but we will be picking up a trailer this summer and will be doing multiple trips per year. You are an inspiration to many. Thanks for sharing this part of your lives with us. Hope to become an insider in the future and hopefully cross paths some day. Thanks -- Jared Angell
P.S. I heard a comment in an earlier episode that Trish loves snow cones. If you're ever in the Memphis area we have one of the best snow cones places in the country. Happy to give you the inside scoop (shameless dad joke).
Wow! I loved this video! Subscribed! I will definitely show my mom once she gets home. God willing we will be heading there late July to Estes park and then up to Mount Rushmore. This video was really helpful!
Two great movies! Somewhere in Time and The Shining. One a tear jerking love story and the other the complete polar opposite. haha. What a mix for movie night. Toss in a Disney flix and you would have one heck of a trifactor movie mix.
We had another 4 week Colorado and Utah trip planned for this last April. We had to cancel and are now ITCHING to get on the road from Virginia. Thank you for the videos from our happy places/former home.
Hello! My wife and i look forward to your videos every sunday! You guys are such a joy to watch and learn from. I am from Colorado and now we live in North Carolina. Estes park is one of my favorite places. So thank you for the kind words regarding the town! Just wanted to tell you that the movie dumb and dumber was filmed there and there are several scenes shot at Stanley hotel. We look forward to meeting you guys someday! Adam and jenni
Traeger grill problems. Go to Traeger grill recall website and see if your grill has a recall. We have the Ranger tailgater, they had to send us a new part because of fire flare ups! I called them and talked to someone and they were very helpful and nice. Thank you for the great videos/info👍👍👍
Love you guys! Your drone/video/music just gets better and better. Also, love the humor and glitches. Do you have a playlist available for the all the songs you put up? I'd love your playlist to listen and be a part of KYD while driving to our next spot! Also practical question, if you guys get sick out of state and need medical care do you have special insurance to cover that? The dog?
Marc and Trish: Last week I told you I added Ouray to our Colorado trip in 5 weeks because of the video. We will first be at RMNP for 5 days at the Glacier Basin Campground, but we already had that reservation made - really! We are NOT pseudo-campground/destination stalking you. True. Story! : ). We did squeeze in a few days at Capitol Reef National Park in Torrey, Utah before Ouray - we were there last year and love it - especially for the Milky Way filming I do. Last August, we hiked to Emerald Lake during the day and then I hiked back up there at sunset and filmed the Milky Way alone until 1AM - it was a bit scary coming back down to the parking lot - every noise sounded like a bear or mountain lion wanting to kill this retired Hoosier elementary music teacher. It was fun seeing you at places so familiar to us - we have been there and Estes Park numerous times. We were just (last week) at nearby Lyons, visiting our daughter and family before they move to Seattle - we had to see her four girls including our 1-year old identical twin granddaughters. Fun video for us and be safe!
That national park in Estes was absolutely amazing, even in December, completely covered in snow. Proper gear made a snow hike amazing, and my hubris made for a shoe-slide down the steep frozen parking lot end in hilarity, wet clothes, and a bruised tailbone and ego.
Estes Park hiking is amazing! Loved it, but I was much much younger then. 🤣 Also, hiking in the Lake Tahoe areas, both Cali and Nevada side is amazing! But pulling a rig around Donner Pass is mortifying! 🫣
4 Years, seems like it was only yesterday that I just watched this. I recently found this on FB the other day. "A wise man once said, "Don't be afraid to start over again. This time, You're not starting from scratch, You're starting from experience.""
Mark, we rock an airstream also and have the dreaded macerator toilet. Learned to keep extra fuses for it after we once blew one from similar type situation and figured out it was a blown fuse. The secret with these types of toilets I believe is to use plenty of water when flushing to keep things moving. Also, for the awning I use a 3 step stool to hand tighten the awning wheels. Hate using the rod for that purpose. 🙂
Periodically with the Traeger you need to clean out the hopper. It can accumulate dust and could be the reason for flaming up. Just a quick vacuum and that will probably fix it. Keep up the great content!! Also, clean out the igniter area.
Oh my gosh. You went right past our home at the Windsor exit. Isn’t RMNP beautiful? Our son worked on The Shining right after college. He was a set designer on that one. You two take everything in stride without getting upset. We have been traveling this past week from Colorado to Indiana to get some things fixed on our rig. Every single time we take it out it seems like something breaks. So enjoyed your video of our awesome back yard. Have fun in Jackson. ❤️❤️
Best place in the country! Always been a family favorite! Holds so many memories! My better half actually stayed in the honeymoon suite of the Stanley Hotel when he went out for hunting trips! We had connections back then!
About the Traeger: I have had the same issue with both of mine. The flame will back up into the auger and start burning the pellets in the auger and hopper. What I have found, is if I keep the ash cleaned out of the bowl where the pellets dump in onto the igniter it helps prevent the flame from backing into the auger tube. Hope this helps😁
We absolutely love Estes Park. We live about 80 miles from there and go there all the time! It is fun to see your reaction on all the elk. We think of it as normal when for other people it is a new experience. I hope you liked Kind coffee. That is always our first stop when we get to town.
Always fun, always an adventure. I just purchased my first RV/5th Wheel, hopefully I have as good a time as you all seem to do. I have no fear, thanks to you
So glad you made it to estes the most beautiful area in colorado i just love it, I've been fortunate to go three times and i just can't get enough of the place, love your videos i think your the best at what you do, safe travels, Kevin from the UK.
Thanks for your feedback on the KYD Quick Guide. This is a great way for us to share a little bit more about the places we visit. Especially the things we were unable to do or see. Here is the Quick Guide for Estes, CO www.keepyourdaydream.com/estes
I wondered if I had totally missed this before or if it was a new thing. Either way, Great idea, really helpful, thank you!
Hey guys when you light Traeger, set it at your desired temp with lid open. When it starts to light it will start smoking, more and more and when it finally gets lit the smoke will dissipate...and you will hear a torch like sound. Once you hear that you can close the lid and pre heat! Good luck they are awesome!!
Hi,
Thanks for your beautiful videos, they are always a treat.

The Quick Guide is an AMAZING idea!! Thank you so much!

I love seeing the “boring stuff”. It is part of life, sometimes the best part of life.
That was my husband in the Corvette 😂😂 They were in the doghouse for a few days. 😁Thank you for rescuing them!! 💛
No way! Lol. Too funny. Nice guys. I'm glad we happen to stop. Any reason to use our air system ;)
I think Marc was happy to see someone with a flat 😂😂 Boys and their toys 😉
Your videos are always both entertaining and educational. Camping is not just about the destination, the getting there is just as important and sometimes even more fun. We can’t wait till we are able to get out and explore again. Thanks for your videos and tidbits of knowledge.
I've been watching KYD off an on from it's beginnings. Your production is great and I'm sure exhausting to make it all come together. You keep rocking it week after week! Well done.
Great episode. I like seeing the “real stuff” of the full time RV life. Not always rainbows and unicorns but you guys always battle through.
Hello to Marc, Trish, Carson and Caleb. I just love your cinematography. It's some of the best, if not the best of all the channels that I follow.

The shot at the Dream Lake/Emerald Lake sign was INSANE. The trees, the mountains, the sky. Incredible.
You guys make me smile. I look so forward to each episode to see where you’ve gone and what amazing adventures you’ve been part of. Thanks for another great week! Loved it! ☀️
The views around Estes & traveling to Jackson are stunning!! This is turning out to be another superb season!!
The drone shot at 19:17 with the drone moving slowly and your rig passing though the frame is one of your BEST shots ever!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this channel I needed this tonight. A persons job can take over and make for a bad life. Camping and living is a lot more HEALTHY for U. Thanks again Paul & Susan North Georgia

Love the videos. Our new Sunday show. We’ve been camping Montana and Idaho the last couple weeks. Makes me feel better that we’re not the only one fixing something every stop.
You guys are great, no matter what goes wrong or right, you are still laughing. Love it.
It's over already, episodes go by way to fast. Need to start doing 2 a week!!!
You guys amaze me with the drone footage as your driving. Especially the last footage of tonight episode. Truly amazing.
Thanks Mike. There was a slight flicker from the props. Might be time to look into the Mavic 2 :)
Keep Your Daydream the Mavic 2 air is awesome, affordable, packable and capable. We love your videos! We’re hanging out in Colorado Springs Garden of the Gods RV Resort for the week and heading up to Ouray, CO on Saturday! Hope to run into y’all one of these days.
The distance from their rig amazes me.
Honestly felt like I was traveling with you all today. Well done... until next week.
Me too.
1. It’s nice to see the normal stuff because it puts the rest of it in perspective.
2. You mentioned the Matterhorn, when I brag that I got to ski Plateau Rosa at the base of the Matterhorn I always get “What’s a Matterhorn?”... kills the story every time.
"Do we have an air compressor" is my favorite story of all your videos. Maybe because that's something I could see my Dad doing. Anyway, great story!!
Our lab actually got altitude sickness when we were in that area that made him lethargic. Vet recommended pepto and staying overnight instead of traveling further in Jackson.
AHHHSOME EPISODE! You are traveling through beautiful country filled with stunning natural wonders, and we feel so grateful to be coming along with you through your camera lens. Fun, inspiring & beautiful episode that we did not want to end. Cheers & happy travels!
I needed this video. After 4 months of our truck being in the shop getting a lot of overdue repairs and upgrades, We get it back to go on our first trip this year. Boondocking in the Blue ridge mountains of Virginia. While there, a tree limb messes up camper roof, and awning. After 4 more weeks Insurance repairs the camper and on the way home Transmission goes out in the Truck. Sorry to see the problems you are having but glad to see its not only me and its only a season.
I enjoy the day to day "boring" stuff. The videos go by so fast!!
We love you guys. This video had some crack up moments. We're from CO and Estes is one of our favs. I'm glad you guys had a good time up there. For you dog owners out there, right next to the fairgrounds is a dog park with swimming for the pups. The Grand Lake side of RMNP is pretty cool too with some great camping.
Thanks for the great scenic video. Stay safe.
You guys seem incredibly happy. It’s nice to see. I hope you’ve enjoyed your stay in Colorful Colorado.
What a tremendous change this season in the feel of this production. great work. love your stuff. So relaxing instead of watching news. Thank you.
What a gorgeous hike! I love seeing the "boring stuff," it's reality. Can't wait until next Sunday.
It may sound hokey, but my first trip to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park was truly a spiritual experience for me. A very dear friend who had lived in CO for 20 years took me with her and we had a blast. We had both seen the Shining so of course we had to go through the Stanley Hotel.

Did this help you guys out? Hope so. Had it happen to me on my pellet grille once and sounded like a bomb :) happy travels and love your channel.
We have vacationed in Estes many times. I would agree about the outstanding hiking in the park. Love love love RMNP!
Love Estes Park, we were there years ago when we lived in Colorado. I'm impressed you can bounce on the balls of your feet like that, btw it took us two years to figure out the proper way to bring down the front awning on our AS. The owner we bought it from obviously had no idea either and that is where we got our misinformation! Awning life is good now!
Leaking propane hose, macerator, awnings, Traeger, Charlie... You guys sound like every RV person I've ever met! Happy Trails!
LOVE the air compressor story..... SOOOoooooo how every guy would handle it!! on the inside walking down to the ring like Vince McMahon.
I watched an outdoor screening of A River Runs Through It when we were in Bozeman, MT 3 years ago celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the movie's release. The film was shown on the lawn of a historical building where they filmed some of the movie. One of my favorite travel moments!
This might be your best video. So professionally edited, Charles Osgood is eating his heart out!
I too have the macerator toilet, and my plan is to always be somewhere else when the "big one" hits, if you catch my drift.
So beautiful!! I know fixing problems go along with life, but why do they all happen in 3’s 🤣😂. Thanks for taking us along for the ride 😊💞
Marc, Trish and family.. Love you guys! We had planned a 2 week Colorado trek (that we'd be getting home from right about now), but after consulting with all members of the party, we decided for safety reasons to postpone the trip till June of 2021... We are all living vicariously through you right now!! so far your itinerary has been ours in reverse, and we're really enjoying it. Stay safe!
Great video. I love to see you all having fun. Our state opened up on May 29th. We were there at our favorite state park. We were going for a weekend of fun, Friday through Sunday. Well, we ended up staying 9 days. My husband works 1/2 hr from the park so he went to work while I hung out and enjoyed nature. I love our little RV! We had a great time and we are planning a trip to MO to our favorite little campground and canoeing place for the 4th. Keep the fun coming.
Excellent video you guys, love both Colorado and Wyoming. Sorry about the Air Stream issues and hope it gets better as you go. Safe travels!!!!
Oh I have amazing memories of Harley trips through Estes Park, Jackson Hole and all around there !!!
Beautiful country thanks for the memories!!!
Your videos never disappoint, always a joy to watch !
Safe travels :)
Blessings
HOPE HANDSOME Charlie feels better!!! & I like the boring stuff, it gives us what is really going on!!!! LOVED it when you told Caleb to slam the door!! OH MY GOSH WAY TOO FUNNY!!!! LOVES/HUGS TO ALL!!!!
A great American family with simple values. A loving family with a good home structure. God bless.
Such beautiful scenery and I so love the drone shots, especially when you are driving. The views are just amazing! In a perfect world....we have hiccups from time to time, but you guys handle them so well. Loved seeing the boring parts too, makes it all real life. Hugs, Brenda
O man! The jumping to tighten the awning had me in stitches. That did not look like it was efficient but it sure got your cardio up.
I was just hoping last week that you’d give us a glimpse of your “down time”. Don’t count out what you think is unimportant. While my husband enjoys learning about your technical tips and tricks, I enjoy watching you as a family. You guys do a great job!
This is where we live currently. We start our RV journey in about a month. Sad to leave but I know we will be back. Sky Pond is incredible. You get to hang out with marmots at the top next to bright green/blue water. You "climb a waterfall" to get to it. You have to go back and do that.
estes Park is my absolute favorite place on earth. Glad you were able to enjoy it so much, except for Charlie getting sick.
We love Manor RV park. We stay there once a year. September is amazing, especially when the elk are bugling! Watching the boys swim in that lake... Brrrr! Thanks for a great, chilled episode!
Kind of crazy! We where camping in RMNP Morraine campground when this video came out. Just missed you. Got satellite wifi on my hubbies truck so we watched our Sunday RUclips favorites KYD. We only live hour away so frequent the park. Watching your boys jump in that water made my toes curl. 🥶. We have never stayed in the town of Estes. We have a coveted spot that has a view of Morraine Valley and river and Longs peak. Its not easy to get! Enjoyed your video as always. You guys move FAST! Wish I had your energy! Safe travels!
I’ve been watching since season one and it’s amazing to see you guys still going strong!!! The boys are all grown up now and it’s just great to see you guys together as a family.
Love that you were in my neck of the woods - colorful Colorado!! Come back and visit again soon and stay longer next time. Thanks for showcasing our wonderful state. Thanks for sharing
I look forward all week to Sunday evening, as I really enjoy your videos. Beautiful photography, loved seeing the elk. Just like deer they bed down near the campers, unafraid of humans. Wish your videos would last a little longer, but I have to accept what I can of you wonderful folks & the adventure your taking me on. Thank you for sharing. I hope Charliue is okay. Adorable 'lil fella. I hope nothing else goes awry.
I had a Viair dual pump setup with a 10 gallon air tank on my last pickup. It seemed like I used that thing at least once a week almost the whole time I had it. It is the one thing I regret not taking off the truck before I traded it in.
What a beautiful family, cherish every moments you spend with the family.... GOD Bless...
Hi Trish and Marc. Great video. Sad to hear you set your Traeger on fire. I did that once. My husband figured out that we needed to set the temp for the Treager 50 to 75 degrees past what you actually want the Treager desired cooking temp to be. When the Treager reaches a little past your desired temp then back off the temp to that desired temp to cook. We haven’t set our Treager on fire since. We’ve have our travel Traeger going on 4 years and we love it. Good luck!
I am so hooked on your videos. We were in Breckenridge in Sept. and drove to Estes Park on Sept. 30th. Being from NY, the trailer is no in storage until the end of May when we head out to some local camp grounds, then the finger lakes of NY. I'd love to go to Maine this year, as I have never been. Thank you so much for allowing us to travel with you, and see America through your eyes. You videos are incredible. RJourney
I love your videos. You must have fantastic lenses on the cameras, the clarity of the shots is fantastic, even watching your videos on my phone.
Best line ever? You wouldn't have an air compressor in there?!?
😍🥰🤩 😂🤣😂. 👍
di557 Diane Britson ......and Marc’s giddiness about having one on board 😂😂
I had the privilege of speaking with Marc once or twice a while back and when i told my boys, who I spoke with, they were soooo impressed with Daddy! They told their friend that same day...
"My dad talked on the phone with one of his fav youtubers! Ya..my Dad talks to RUclipsRS!" lol ( I think that is called Dad Cred! lol>>>????)
You all make me laugh, and the boys swimming on snow beach OMG...and Marc jumping up and down what a great calf workout but sorry I was dying...you never said how Charly was doing...the scenery was stunning...great video again family, can't wait for next weekend...love Peggy 💗 ♥ 💓
Sorry unable to edit last comment. Just wanted you to know I have used and love the checklists. They have their place in their laminated sleeve right on the counter. Saved me more than once.
Stumbled across your channel by accident. A very welcome accident now. Myself, my wife, my kids, we're all hooked on your channel now. My family has been looking at getting a travel trailer but we've been debating back and forth over which one, do I need a bigger truck, etc. Your message in earlier episodes to start now with what you've got has motivated us. We won't be full time, but we will be picking up a trailer this summer and will be doing multiple trips per year. You are an inspiration to many. Thanks for sharing this part of your lives with us. Hope to become an insider in the future and hopefully cross paths some day. Thanks -- Jared Angell
P.S. I heard a comment in an earlier episode that Trish loves snow cones. If you're ever in the Memphis area we have one of the best snow cones places in the country. Happy to give you the inside scoop (shameless dad joke).
Wow! I loved this video! Subscribed! I will definitely show my mom once she gets home. God willing we will be heading there late July to Estes park and then up to Mount Rushmore. This video was really helpful!
Really laughed at the air compressor story at the beginning - thanks for the entertainment!
Two great movies! Somewhere in Time and The Shining. One a tear jerking love story and the other the complete polar opposite. haha. What a mix for movie night. Toss in a Disney flix and you would have one heck of a trifactor movie mix.
Estes Park is my favorite place. I love the footage of Wyoming, lived there for a while and that made me smile. I hope your trip is going well! 😀
You guys are making me miss Colorado. Watching the Elk around Estes Park is a lot of fun.
We had another 4 week Colorado and Utah trip planned for this last April. We had to cancel and are now ITCHING to get on the road from Virginia. Thank you for the videos from our happy places/former home.
Hello! My wife and i look forward to your videos every sunday! You guys are such a joy to watch and learn from. I am from Colorado and now we live in North Carolina. Estes park is one of my favorite places. So thank you for the kind words regarding the town! Just wanted to tell you that the movie dumb and dumber was filmed there and there are several scenes shot at Stanley hotel. We look forward to meeting you guys someday!
Adam and jenni
I have not been back up there since the early 70's! Brings back great memories! I just to love to take new comers up the Big Thompson Canyon!
All the work you put into your truck makes it all worth it when someone asks for help and you and help them without any issues.
Beautiful! That awning is your part of workout routine!
Traeger grill problems. Go to Traeger grill recall website and see if your grill has a recall. We have the Ranger tailgater, they had to send us a new part because of fire flare ups! I called them and talked to someone and they were very helpful and nice. Thank you for the great videos/info👍👍👍
Ya'll just make me smile in some way, every time I see a video.
Love you guys! Your drone/video/music just gets better and better. Also, love the humor and glitches. Do you have a playlist available for the all the songs you put up? I'd love your playlist to listen and be a part of KYD while driving to our next spot! Also practical question, if you guys get sick out of state and need medical care do you have special insurance to cover that? The dog?
I love these types of video...a little of everything...it makes us feel like we are traveling with you...❤️❤️🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕
Marc and Trish: Last week I told you I added Ouray to our Colorado trip in 5 weeks because of the video. We will first be at RMNP for 5 days at the Glacier Basin Campground, but we already had that reservation made - really! We are NOT pseudo-campground/destination stalking you. True. Story! : ). We did squeeze in a few days at Capitol Reef National Park in Torrey, Utah before Ouray - we were there last year and love it - especially for the Milky Way filming I do.
Last August, we hiked to Emerald Lake during the day and then I hiked back up there at sunset and filmed the Milky Way alone until 1AM - it was a bit scary coming back down to the parking lot - every noise sounded like a bear or mountain lion wanting to kill this retired Hoosier elementary music teacher. It was fun seeing you at places so familiar to us - we have been there and Estes Park numerous times. We were just (last week) at nearby Lyons, visiting our daughter and family before they move to Seattle - we had to see her four girls including our 1-year old identical twin granddaughters. Fun video for us and be safe!
That national park in Estes was absolutely amazing, even in December, completely covered in snow. Proper gear made a snow hike amazing, and my hubris made for a shoe-slide down the steep frozen parking lot end in hilarity, wet clothes, and a bruised tailbone and ego.
Estes Park hiking is amazing! Loved it, but I was much much younger then. 🤣 Also, hiking in the Lake Tahoe areas, both Cali and Nevada side is amazing! But pulling a rig around Donner Pass is mortifying! 🫣
I'm from Co.Springs, Co. moved to Fl over a decade ago. I love seeing all the beautiful video of Colorado terrain. Thanks :)
4 Years, seems like it was only yesterday that I just watched this.
I recently found this on FB the other day.
"A wise man once said, "Don't be afraid to start over again. This time, You're not starting from scratch, You're starting from experience.""
You drove right passed my neighborhood in Loveland, Colorado. I would have waved! 😀
I live there too!
Bless your hearts! There’s always something to go wrong. Hope Charlie is better. Stay safe. Love you guys!
Mark, we rock an airstream also and have the dreaded macerator toilet. Learned to keep extra fuses for it after we once blew one from similar type situation and figured out it was a blown fuse. The secret with these types of toilets I believe is to use plenty of water when flushing to keep things moving. Also, for the awning I use a 3 step stool to hand tighten the awning wheels. Hate using the rod for that purpose. 🙂
I bumped up the fuse to 20 amp to give me a bit more power :) I have extras for sure now!
Periodically with the Traeger you need to clean out the hopper. It can accumulate dust and could be the reason for flaming up. Just a quick vacuum and that will probably fix it. Keep up the great content!! Also, clean out the igniter area.
Oh my gosh. You went right past our home at the Windsor exit. Isn’t RMNP beautiful? Our son worked on The Shining right after college. He was a set designer on that one. You two take everything in stride without getting upset. We have been traveling this past week from Colorado to Indiana to get some things fixed on our rig. Every single time we take it out it seems like something breaks. So enjoyed your video of our awesome back yard. Have fun in Jackson. ❤️❤️
Best place in the country! Always been a family favorite! Holds so many memories! My better half actually stayed in the honeymoon suite of the Stanley Hotel when he went out for hunting trips! We had connections back then!
About the Traeger: I have had the same issue with both of mine. The flame will back up into the auger and start burning the pellets in the auger and hopper. What I have found, is if I keep the ash cleaned out of the bowl where the pellets dump in onto the igniter it helps prevent the flame from backing into the auger tube. Hope this helps😁
We absolutely love Estes Park. We live about 80 miles from there and go there all the time! It is fun to see your reaction on all the elk. We think of it as normal when for other people it is a new experience. I hope you liked Kind coffee. That is always our first stop when we get to town.
Always fun, always an adventure. I just purchased my first RV/5th Wheel, hopefully I have as good a time as you all seem to do. I have no fear, thanks to you
So glad you made it to estes the most beautiful area in colorado i just love it, I've been fortunate to go three times and i just can't get enough of the place, love your videos i think your the best at what you do, safe travels, Kevin from the UK.
Oh so beautiful out there in the west, with the mountains. I recognized that view around Jackson Hole since I have been there myself. Happy Trails.
