    In a world full of chaos and craziness, your videos show that there is still love, kindness, community and a sense of normalcy to be had. You do such a wonderful job with your videos showing possibilities and adventures plus useful information. Safe travels and thanks for sharing 😊

      I am a solo traveler with a Basecamp 20X and believe me things I use to worry or goover in my head are easy peasy now. Now it is harder stuff like taking out the rig after a service appointment and get weird electrical stuff happening (I have solar) and so I got a campsite with hookups and I figured it out. The service tech didn't put my switches on after they were done. Great learning lesson for sure. WE CAN DO HARD THINGS, DON'T FORGET IT...EVER. HEADING TO ALUMNAPOOLZA in Jackson Center tomorrow. I love this video great job all around

    Glad that you enjoyed our state!
    I've done Ragbrai for the last 13 years, and you did a great job of capturing the atmosphere.
    I'd complain about you not "tenting" it all week, but that would just expose my jealousy!
    Safe travels.

    I have been looking forward to seeing this video ever since Cary told me it was upcoming in June. I took a trip from Seattle to Necedah with my 16 year old daughter. Needed a roof rack added for my iKamper. Had many upgrades a bit of maintenance done while I was there. Many conversations with Cary and a few with Craig. What a great pair they are and a fantastic crew they have building these works of functional art. Almost 4,000 miles and the 2 days we spent at Camp-Inn in the “Teardrop Campground” were some of the best times we had. Lifelong memories made on this trip with my not so little girl. Can’t say enough about the owners and the crew and the hospitality we were shown while they brought my 560 Ultra back to better than new! Reasonable and fair on everything they did. I love my Camp-Inn. Great video Drew, I look forward to the rest of your footage with the good folks at CI.

    Oh my what an episode! This is one where we gathered the family together and restarted just to so we could be reminded that indeed through Christ we can endure all things. Winston was inspiring on so many levels. Thank you for sharing and letting us get a glimpse of what a life in Christ can look like, full of joy, compassion and endurance. Just an all around beautiful couple of videos. Places can inspiring, but people, even more so.

    Great video. I did the ride in 2018 and the nostalgia may make me do it next year. My favorite memory in 2018 was the line up of older folks on the sidewalk in wheelchairs with squirt guns. I almost crashed getting close to all the smiles with super soakers.

    Trish, you are my hero and an inspiration!!! This video cemented the fact that I need to be brave and take the test to get licensed to drive our RV, like my husband has been saying for years. My husband could really use a help mate at times. Watching you handle it like a pro gave me a big boost of motivation. ❤

    It’s always fun trying to retract the awning in a windstorm! A while back, I made the rookie mistake of leaving the awning out when I went to bed. Around midnight, a massive windstorm hit and I jumped out of the trailer into a foot of water and managed to get the awning in before it ripped off the trailer! Great video as always! 🇺🇸 18:15

    That was so awesome!!! You obviously had a super great time on this adventure. Enjoyed seeing how you all rode together as a team, the camaraderie among the riders and how you watched out for Winston, Trish's absolutely amazing rving/support skills, and can I just mention the food/Ragbrai support from the townspeople along the way? Just Wow!! Such an amazing conclusion to a fantastic summer before Caleb went off to college, and what a great memory for him and you. Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us. It really was a blast!

    Watching was a bitter-sweet experience…in July I was supposed to ride 75km in a Gran Fondo but because of a workplace injury I couldn’t train nor ride. It was supposed to be me doing 75km at 65yrs. I love the feel of riding into a rest stop and especially riding over the finish line & hearing my name announced. I tried to do a multi day ride but couldn’t do the second day, and I’m older & just 50 to 75km takes a lot out of me. So glad still, to watch all of you do the ride!
    Trish you killed it instead of it killing you! Shows your keeping fit program works tremendously well.

      Came here to say THIS too! This year was my 4th RAGBRAI, hottest I've experienced. Tent camp throughout (except the last Friday; all those I rode with got indoors for safety reasons). Incredibly challenging this year - the AC KYD had (and the early starts) must have helped a great deal!
      Hoping to see you on the roads of Iowa in a future RAGBRAI!

Huge culture shock moving from a big city to small town Iowa, but towns like Slater and the people of Iowa are amazing! It was very cool to watch your video of the areas we are coming to know so well! Sad I missed you Mark and Trish! Next time stay at our place, we have RV parking… lol
