I've never been to Anza Borrego but I will definitely make an effort to spend a night out there while visiting my daughter in San Diego. It looks incredible. That sunrise was epic!
You sure do make wonderful videos. The time and care you take to edit, join, select, and add music, and the pleasant pacing of it all makes for a really lovely viewing experience. Thank you!!
I never thought of the powder peanut butter on the oatmeal. Great idea. Thanks. Great little trip. That sunrise. Saw one like that in AZ. Our entire rig was pink red on the interior. Fabulous
Another amazing video. Your photography and editing and sound just keep getting better. You talked briefly about your duvet getting twisted and it reminded me of an earlier video of yours where people talked about the intricate, complicated ways they get the bottom sheet to stay on. As Pleasure-Way newbies I just thought it all looked like too much work so I thought I’d share our solution. We bought a king size mattress topper that we put in a king size duvet cover. We use that as our bottom sheet. No tucking, no stretching. We keep all our bedding in the rear overhead compartment. Once we’ve turned the sofa into a bed we pull out the king size duvet and spread it out. It literally takes a minute. Also in that compartment is our queen size duvet we use on top, and our pillows. It all fits. We started out putting everything in compression sacks but found it was unnecessary. Making the entire bed at night and putting it away in the morning is no more than a five minute job. Bonus: That fibrefill mattress topper on the bottom makes the bed extra comfy. So glad you both have your shots.
That’s a really good idea. In order to save space, we just use 2 fitted sheets. Not as comfy as your solution but it works. But you have given me an idea. May try something new.
I can't even imagine how amazing it must be to eat fresh fruit and vegetables. I don't want to even think how long they take to get up here to Alaska! That moon shade was simple to set up. Just based on the looks we never considered them because they look like they would be giant wind sails. Neat to hear it is the opposite.
Compared to an awning they are much better. John just went up to the ferry website and they are offering two sailings per week from Bellingham to Alaska. Has us 🤔.
@@FromShetoMe Interesting....Hard decision. I will say the the only reservation I would have is regarding the locals. Last summer they were out in masses. Way more than I have ever seen. Campgrounds and boondocking sites were more full than ever and we had barely any out of state tourists. If it is like that again, but with the addition of some more tourists it may be a pretty full place up here this summer.
You have come a long way with your video photography. I've watched you from your beginning and enjoyed every moment. This particular video is spectacular wit the side views, panning and golden hour shots. Wonderful work!!
Thanks. If you only knew the trouble I had with the edit. Thought I had it all fixed and then when I watched this morning I cringed. But there is always another opportunity down the road.
The flo of the video from start to finish was excellent. The Palm trees look sad-hope they can be revived🌴. The sky was amazingly beautiful. The fire 🔥 starter looked different than what I thought it would, thanks for actually showing it and where to ourchase it.. Always fun to watch your videos and John adds that special touch of humor-latte alá John.
Can't wait to go to Anza Borrego ourselves! If I would take a guess, that brilliant sunrise was on Feb 15 Monday morning. I took some beautiful photos too.
Based on the wonderful outdoor sculptures in this video, we suggest that if you ever travel to South Dakota, you should try to visit the Porter Sculpture Park in Montrose, SD. It's great fun.
I love watching your videos it’s so calming just got our first van kids about to all leave 45 and really just want to enjoy each other and travel like you both … ps do you live around Santa Monica ?
Wow. Your videos are amazing. Great use of multiple cameras, the drone. What a beautiful sunset. Enjoyed the bike ride - when we visited Anzo Barrego we did not have fat tire bikes to explore like you did. Next time.
My brother has a house in Borrego Springs. They stay there until it gets too hot, then off to Washington state. Borrego is very pleasant in the fall, winter and spring, however a long way to Costco. Try Agua Caliente for camping. They have a hot springs pool house and nice campground. Use to go there every year when we lived in Vista and Fallbrook. As a side note, we getting avocados, make sure the stems were cut and not pulled off the tree. They ripen funny if pulled off.
Hey Debbie🙋🏽♀️ Glad you’re back. I know you’ve been busy with projects. Wow, that sunrise🙌🏽🙌🏽😍 I really enjoy your videos. Can’t wait to get out there! It’s coffee time. I think I’ll try Johns latte🤣🤪
I love your channel. Can you tell me what episode it was that you baked raisin bread in your bread maker in the van. I want to show my husband. It looked delicious. Do you still use your bread machine?
It was our Death Valley trip: ruclips.net/video/BVG0PBpH5TY/видео.html Before every trip, I evaluate the weather and where we are going and then decide what equipment to take. I was just thinking about our coming summer and I think I will take it. I really like making jam in it and want to experiment more with things like casseroles by removing the paddle. Of course it does require a bit of guess work as you can’t adjust cook time. A newer model is available and it might do that. We love the raisin bread in it but it is a dense loaf so if you want a lighter texture, That will probably take some more experimenting. Also, bumpy roads may not be advised during the rise period.
We are pretty well matched for speed. I walk fast and he walks at a normal pace. On the bikes, he uses a lower assist setting so it all works and indeed, we do enjoy the exercise.
Loved the sunrise, thanks for getting up early to capture it for us! Did you mount your camera to the side of your bike, those where amazing shots! I’m going to try John’s trick to making a latte. Safe travels!
So I am not sure about the old refrigerator, but I assume that a 2-way fridge would have worked on the electric hook-up site, without the propane problem.
If the top sheet and blanket were all over the place when you woke up my grandmother would say that you were wrestling with angels. Also did you know that little birthday candles make great fire starters as well corn chips? As always great video.
LOL. I guess the angels are winning that battle. Great way to use left over birthday candles. Especially since we don’t have birthdays anymore. And corn chips? Who knew? Thanks
Hi Debbie, finally we picked up our PW Ascent and made our maiden voyage last weekend. Everything was perfect! I asked you in one of your early video posts about Blackstone 17 inch griddle. I got one with rear grease bucket. It turns out it is just an inch too big. I wonder how do you fit in yours, is the one with front grease configuration a little smaller and fitting better? The other option is to store behind the driver seat. Any suggestions? Appreciate you taking the time to help. As always, I have always enjoyed your video and learned a ton from you. Thanks, NJ
There is a decorative cover on the batteries that is unnecessary. It is held on with a couple of magnets. Just remove and store it. PW says it is fine to remove it. Let me know if that doesn’t take care of the problem.
Question? I noticed you used your Moon Shade rather than your awning. Just wondering why, as my fiammi awning is shot on my 2005 pleasureway. I’m considering replacing my awning with the Moon Shade. Wondering what you think of this idea?
The RV people no longer have the arms that come back and secure to the rig. They are armless so they retract with the slightest breeze. Also, the placement is quite high so you get less shade depending on the sun's direction. The Moon Shade will withstand higher winds and sits lower and so more shade. I'm also thinking of getting some super lightweight fabric that we can clip to the edge to get even more shade when needed. The downside to the moon shade is the rear anchor point. You can anchor it on the car and only open the door part way, or if you want the door to be completely open, you can anchor on the door but then have to move it when you want to close the door. One other thing I like about it is that because it sits lower, you get more privacy from a neighboring campsite when you are in the kitchen area.
Are the tires on your bicycles the original ones or did you change them? Seems like they travel over all types of terrain and no flat tires. Great video...enjoyed it.
Hi Lynn...this is Mrs Lowrider and is that your garbage bag hanging off the spare tire? If so have you been p,eased with that manufacture? Is the bag on your Amazon list? Happy travels good to see you out and about again...
Amazing sunrise! Is that what they call a buttermilk sky! My boyfriend says that Doritos make the best fire starter, because they have so much grease in them.
DEBBY& John, nice scenery, just heard from the RUSSOS WTR, they were saying many BLM lands are not open due to scum, whom leaves GARBAGE BEHIND so the good suffers for the BAD I would check if you can BEFORE I go today for a checkup, on my RIGHT EYE as said I wear readers +2.5, just lost my wife , 55 years married, pneumonia. In a rehab .cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m so sorry. Do take care of yourself and find some support. Most men just try to tough it out. Thanks for the heads up on BLM camping. Yes, the poor actors make it worse for everyone.

What a beautiful sunrise. Thanks for sharing that.
Wow!what a gorgeous sunrise!
We love it there! Our home away from home.
Ahhh Anza Borrego Our Home Away From Home! Thanks for taking us along!
I've never been to Anza Borrego but I will definitely make an effort to spend a night out there while visiting my daughter in San Diego. It looks incredible. That sunrise was epic!
Love all the speed ramps, pan zooms, beautiful timelapses, low gopro shotes, etc. And the colors of the sunrise!
Ha. I had a big problem with this video and had to redo half of it.
@@FromShetoMe You would never guess. It looked amazing! Really loved the bike shots as well. Made May and I want to get a couple for Thailand.
Beautiful campground
Nothing like a really early start to the day. Sometimes it’s a challenge but boy it’s always so worthwhile.
You sure do make wonderful videos. The time and care you take to edit, join, select, and add music, and the pleasant pacing of it all makes for a really lovely viewing experience. Thank you!!
Wow, thank you!

Thanks for sharing your adventure! I look forward to following your future endeavors.
Thanks.
Love it in Borrego and Ocotillo Wells
Nothing like a beautiful sunrise and a hot fresh latte.
So much beauty and laughter! Love it!
Oh my! That sunrise! Glad you got to take a quick trip.

Very creative work with your cameras! This episode really came together well, imo. Well done.
Thanks. If you only knew the trouble I had with the edit. Thought I had it all fixed and then when I watched this morning I cringed. But there is always another opportunity down the road.
Yes, that was an amazing sunrise. Thanks for giving us a show. I'm jealous, wish I could be out there.

Feb 9. My friend was in Joshua Tree and had a similar sunrise.
Gorgeous sunrise! Loved the glow on the mountain, too. That area looks like a fun playground for your bikes. Thanks for the dose of warmth & sunshine!
Based on the wonderful outdoor sculptures in this video, we suggest that if you ever travel to South Dakota, you should try to visit the Porter Sculpture Park in Montrose, SD. It's great fun.
Thanks for the tip. We might head that way this summer.
Nice to see you back on the road again .
Gorgeous. Very happy that things are starting to open up again for you all. Loved that sunrise, the colors were magical.
so fine, Debbie..i always get up early as well..to enjoy sunrises!!! and take photos!!!
Fun trip. Good tips
Thank you! The scenery and sky pics were GREAT! Happy Trails! Be Safe and Stay Healthy!
That sunrise 🌅 was incredible! Definitely another place I want to check out.
Awesome sunrise!
Thanks for the trip and yes your sky was gorgeous. Have used Instafire and works well. Travel safe!
Absolutely loved this! And really enjoyed our time with the two of you. Thanks for sharing your adventures. They inspire us! Hope we meet again.
You guys are a ton of fun. We’ll see you again, I’m sure.
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing. Be safe!
I love watching your videos it’s so calming just got our first van kids about to all leave 45 and really just want to enjoy each other and travel
like you both … ps do you live around Santa Monica ?
We live in Huntington Beach.
A very relaxed trip to follow along with you two. That sunset was spectacular and always appreciate you sharing your travels and useful tips.
Wow. Your videos are amazing. Great use of multiple cameras, the drone. What a beautiful sunset. Enjoyed the bike ride - when we visited Anzo Barrego we did not have fat tire bikes to explore like you did. Next time.
No matter how often we go, we love riding off road. Always discover something new.
Glad you enjoyed our town... Next time Carmelitas is better than Pablitos ;)
Good to know. Thanks.
That is so sad about the palm trees 🌴 man’s overuse! Beautiful sunrise! Enjoy! 😎
Unfortunately, we grow a lot of stupid things in the desert.
Awesome video. Waiting for my Plateau to arrive. In the meantime, you inspire my travels. Loved the art sculptures and the sunrise!♥️
A perfect outing, great shots with the new equipment.👍👍
Another awesome video. Thank you.
Loved the time lapse and how it showed that one beautiful sunrise scene was so fleeting. Glad you both were able to catch it.
Thank you so much for the effort put into these beautiful videos.
As always a fun video of your adventures!
That sunrise looks other-worldly.
My brother has a house in Borrego Springs. They stay there until it gets too hot, then off to Washington state. Borrego is very pleasant in the fall, winter and spring, however a long way to Costco.

That truly was a gorgeous sunrise! Always appreciate the tricks and tips you share. Keep 'em coming 👍
Wow! sunset. Metal sculptures way cool too.
That was so lovely! Hope your rig is up and fully functional soon, that sunrise was amazing, thank you for such a lovely time.
Yep, fixed and ready to go.
wow nice. thank you

Thank you. Wonderful scenery and pictures. Can't believe that your "camera" is a smartphone. And the music fits perfectly well.
Good thing the phone is smart because the operator makes lots of errors.
How do u keep up with Johns long leg strides even on the bike looks like lots of fun making great memories
We are pretty well matched for speed. I walk fast and he walks at a normal pace. On the bikes, he uses a lower assist setting so it all works and indeed, we do enjoy the exercise.
Eggs cartons work great too for starting fires. We save them up in the winter.
Good idea.
Whew. Lotta desert and high desert out west. Magnificent, but very different from a KY raised boys experience.
After moving to California from Cincinnati 50 plus years ago, it took some time to warm up to the desert but now I couldn’t live without it.

Loved the sunrise, thanks for getting up early to capture it for us! Did you mount your camera to the side of your bike, those where amazing shots! I’m going to try John’s trick to making a latte. Safe travels!
Yes, experimenting with mounts.

Yes, but we had one night on the trip without hookups.
Great video thank you! :o)
Thank you! Inspiring and spirit lifting. Wondering if you put the bikes inside the van or just put locks on, when you go on a hike, etc.
Just a lock outside.
Great Video I subscribe💝. Happiness and Wealth Success 🙌.
Great Watch looking forward for next update

Thank you for the tip! I’ll give it a try! Now I can start seasoning the griddle:)
At the risk of admitting to one of the 7 deadly sins I am more envious of you and John than most of the travel RUclipsrs.
We do think we are pretty lucky, but you see all the good stuff. Or as John says, "the other guy's grass is just as brown."
🌅 WOW
Hi, is that drone footage around the sculptures? Or how did you get the camera to go through that one sculpture? Good work! Cheers 👍✌️
Drone
That was some pretty sun rise
Someone sent you to view that monument? It’s not even first Saturday in April!
Yes, but we like goofy spots and we got a nice ride in.

I was unable to find a link for your moon shade when I did a look back - can you provide? Thank you
The company is Moonfab.com. It was originally a Kickstarter campaign.
Thank you
Are the tires on your bicycles the original ones or did you change them? Seems like they travel over all types of terrain and no flat tires. Great video...enjoyed it.
Not originals. 4” knobby tires. Mine came with smooth tires and new ones come with 3” now.
Quick question. Did you put a diamond coat paint protection on your van?
No.
Hi Lynn...this is Mrs Lowrider and is that your garbage bag hanging off the spare tire? If so have you been p,eased with that manufacture? Is the bag on your Amazon list? Happy travels good to see you out and about again...
It has worked well for us and yes, it is on my Amazon storefront. But we don’t use it for garbage.
Amazing sunrise! Is that what they call a buttermilk sky! My boyfriend says that Doritos make the best fire starter, because they have so much grease in them.
Someone else suggested corn chips. You guys are so smart.
@@FromShetoMe on the other hand, the advantage to your fire starter is that you don’t have to worry about someone eating it when you’re not looking.
Gosh those e-bikes look more like motorcycles. I was thinking of a gravel bike with 43 cm tires. Weighing 25 lbs. Not an e-bike.
What is the gas price situation in Cali? Sales tax?
Saw a station today that was $3.79. OC sales tax is 7.75% I don’t mind paying more as our roads are being improved.
It keeps going up. Cheapest diesel I found yesterday was $4.09.
