    What is your favorite National Recreation Area?

      Yepper - all of them! Every place has something! Some of our best memories are camping where most RVs don't go! Example, we camped in the back country in SD (yep there were a couple RVs) anyway since there were several kids the Rangers opened up a pond for a day of fishing & and had activities & they earned a patch!
      The house we lived in burned & the house owner took the insurance & said good luck! So we just hit the road for abt a yr with a dog & a cat! The memories will never be replaced. 😀

    Very cool to see the dam from water - we drove across it several years ago towing our old Scamp! Yikes, the water level looks low... the tunnel trail looks amazing - I’ve seen this trail in other videos, but forgot about it until now - excellent amount of info & history you share!

    That was pretty Dam awesome! And yes, growing up around here, most of us did call it Boulder Dam for ages - not to mention - many folks disliked President Hoover so much, they really didn't want to give him the credit. Black Canyon River Raft tours on the other side of the dam to Willow Beach, AZ is also a fantastic thing to do in the area as well.

      To make a long story short, sadly I never got hear his stories. I did meet him twice and we talked, he was a very good man. I’m so happy that you two are bringing history to life. Yes, these men that built these great monuments, had extremely hard lives. No jobs during the 30s, so when these jobs came, they worked really hard. I thank them for their service. Before, constructing Hoover dam, these men built Boulder City first, so they could have a place to live at during this time. I laughed when I finally went back to visit Hoover Dam, that it was a tourist place. I remembered several times crossing the dam, late at night, on our way to see my grandma in Tucson. At that time (80s) it was the way through. But the Tillman bridge is nice.

    When are you guys going to Alaska and Hawaii the weather in Alaska gets real cold starting around Oct, and during the winter it gets so cold that your RV pipes will freeze even with the heating pads. It also gets to -40F where your propane will not turn to gas it will remain as a liquid so no heat for your RV

    • @3pdad
      @3pdad 3 года назад

      @@Wanderlocal Never camped there, actually. We go there 3-4 times each summer and spend a week on our houseboat, so we are always on the water. The kids love to surf behind our ski boat. However, for campers, there is so much to see…. There is of course, Rainbow Bridge and also the slot canyons, which is not far from Paige, AZ and is another “must-see’”! Also, there are a number of hiking trails, including trails that were carved out with the covered wagons by the pioneers. The water temperature at the surface in the summer is always in the high 80’s and there is no better place to stay for a week as a family. To be honest, I’ve never been a camper. In fact, my idea of camping has always been the Marriott. Even the houseboat is more like “glamping’. Reminds me a bit of the Airstream. As we near “empty nester” status, we’re thinking about venturing to many of the other natural wonders this beautiful country has to offer and when we do, I’m convinced it will be in an Airstream. Keep up the great work. Really enjoy your channel and following the two of you through this adventure of yours.
