You are inspiring a generation to get outside as you educate us on the fantastic locations in the US to explore and experience. I'll keep watching (and following) your videos if you keep making them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Don't forget to keep reminding us of the best way to support you in these experiences.
Great video! We live about 100 miles south of Duluth, so were excited to hear you pick the North Shore in a few categories. We LOVE it 'up' there and your video reminds us not to take it for granted. We have really enjoyed watching your adventures this year. Keep up the good work!
I absolutely LOVED this video!!! So neat to hear your “tops”. I definitely have a lot of videos left to watch to see them all. Thank you for the great content. The bloopers brought a huge smile to my face. You two are so fun. I hope the next 2-3 weeks are refreshing. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
That was awesome! So, so fun to recap the year. I totally feel like I've been right there with you the whole time and it was cool to see a little Minnesota representation! Adam, I couldn't agree more about the tacos!!! I've literally been raving about those for over a decade now and to know they brought you so much joy as well just brings a smile to my face. It's been awesome following your journey this full year and it's hard to believe 2022 is around the corner. I hope you have a super relaxing holidays and recharge and relax as much as possible. Cheers to an amazing year!!!
Thank you for joining us for all of our adventures this year! We are so glad we got to make it to your neck of the woods, we loved it up in the Great Lakes! Happy holidays to you and the fam!
It must have been so hard to pick your favs! You have truly shown what an amazingly gorgeous and diverse country we live in! I have enjoyed your journeys so much from this side of the screen. Oh, but I think I missed Kona's top picks....I bet she had some favorite hikes; I'm sure her least favorite was the one with the ladders (I think) where Adam had to carry her. Have a very merry Christmas, guys! Looking forward to all the 2022 adventures!
It was tough! I spent weeks going back and forth haha! Kona says that her favorite was Mount Elbert, but definitely agree her least was the one with the ladders haha
Greetings from Dallas - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I love everything about your channel - your personalities, enthusiasm, passion for what you do, your adventurous spirits, the beautiful footage, the great recommendations you provide… I could go on and on. Enjoy a well deserved break, and I look forward to see what you’ve got planned for next year!
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. All the effort you put into producing amazing videos is truly inspirational. I've looked forward to watching them week after week. Best wishes for a rapid recovery from your injury. Merry Christmas!
So excited to see all the thumbs up for Minnesota! There may be more spectacular places but there's something about it, isn’t there? And there are so many other places to visit including the Boundary Waters. I've really enjoyed traveling with you two. Great job very well done! --Paul from Minneapolis
@@AdventuresofAplusK It's the smells! There is a unique mineral like fragrance to the rocks and streams I have not encountered anywhere else. Add in the pine and I am just truly at peace when I go up there.
This was FANTASTIC! You both are an amazing adventurous loving hilarious couple. I love the bloopers! Your channel is #1 on my vanlife subscribers list. Enjoy your time off with your family to recharge. I'm excited about your travels in 2022. It's going to be GREAT! Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎅❄☃️
Thanks for all the hard work that goes into making these fabulous videos 👏👏 still my favourite RUclips channel , makes my day when a new A+K vid shows up , have a great Christmas and good luck in 2022 ❤️
You guys killed it this year! Loved watching (almost) every adventure. Thank you for sharing with us. Can't wait to see what's in store for 2022! Happy Holidays ❤️
It has been a real pleasure watching your adventures this year. You've taken me to places that I haven't been to, and probably won't go to, and you've seen some of the things that I have seen (parts of Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado) so I can share your enthusiasm for them. Thank you so much, take a break and relax and regroup. Merry Christmas.... and until next time... Travel Safe.
Loved watching this! I still have some videos to catch up with watching from this year, but I've seen most of them and they're so inspiring! Your videos helped my husband and I figure out some of the destinations on our cross-country trip and we had the time of our lives! Looking forward to seeing what next year holds for you guys, Happy New Year!
What an epic adventure 2021 was…compliments of 2 amazing humans & a very special canine!👊🏼It’s been a privilege & a delight to tag along! ✨🌎✨You ROCK in every way imaginable! 🤙🏼 All the best now & in the New Year!🎉🎉🎉Sweet hugs to Kona!🥰
What an awesome way to end the 2021 adventure year! You two are a joy to watch and are just so real. I’m thankful we stumbled on your channel…hands down our favorite. God bless you guys, Merry Christmas and cheers to the 2022 adventure season!
Y'all put out great videos, high quality editing, beautiful scenery, and are a joy to watch. May you and yours enjoy a Merry Christmas, a Happy new Year, and continue to be blessed by the Best. Till our next adventure, peace.
Aww, I LOVED this! You guys gotta do this every year now! Y’all are my favorite channel on RUclips. Thanks so much for living out your passion and sharing it with all of us! (Also, hell yeah for all the Minnesota mentions. 👌🏻)
We will definitely try to! Although if this year was hard we have a feeling next year will be harder to pick! And we have had quite a few Minnesotans super stoked about how much we loved it, it is such a special place!
I absolutely love all of your videos! Many of the places you have been to, I have been to as well, but for those I have not been to, you have provided a lot of new ideas for future travels. As a recent retiree, my goal is to get to as many National Parks as possible (I have 33 under my belt) and Acadia is one of them I desperately want to see, so I really loved that video. Thank you for sharing your travels with the RUclips community and I wish you much success as you focus on A+K full time. Happy Holidays!
What a great recap it was fun to revisit with you guys as we’ve watched them all! Love the bloops and truly appreciate all the editing time it took to create. Merry Christmas to you all!~Cara 🎅🏼
Thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us. Thirty years ago, I took a year off and traveled across the country by myself. I have a map that I kept, showing all the roads I traveled and places I visited, just like the map you have at the beginning of the video. When you look at that map, you realize how many places in our country that you missed. This is an amazing place that we live in. I've been able to fill in a few more places on my map since then, but I still have a lot places to see. I've really enjoyed traveling about with you guys this year as it reminded me of my time on the road. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and we all look forward to seeing more adventures next year.
There is SO much to see in the US, it's crazy! We are so glad we have this giant backyard to explore for the rest of our lives. What has been your favorite place you have been to?
@@AdventuresofAplusK That's a difficult question. I've got to break that into two parts. The first is from my adventure 30 years ago and I can't name just one, so how about three! I have two that occurred during the full fall foliage out west. The first time I saw the Grand Tetons on a cold crisp late September morning at sunrise along the Snake River, with all the color in the trees and the amazing snow capped Tetons in the background. The second one was the first time I saw the Grand Canyon. In all the pictures I had seen prior, it appeared to be a very dry place. I actually visited the North Rim first and I thought I was driving through a forest, just like here in New England. Then bam, the canyon appeared and it wasn't what I expected. Number 3 was when I camped on top of a mountain in the northeast corner of Olympic National Park. I was alone and had wild deer grazing within feet of my camp. I also sat high on a cliff and watched coyotes (it might have been wolves - too far away to tell) walking along a game trail below me and was glad I was high above them... Honorable mentions are: camping on a mountain in northern California watching the thunder storms roll by Mt Shasta to the south with the moon lighting up the whole seen. A second one was watching the sun set on the beach at La Push Washington. The color was amazing.. More recently, traveling through and around Glacier National Park with my wife on our 25th anniversary in 2019. So many more places and so many more places to see. Also, I loved the San Juan Mountains too. Thought to myself, this must be what the Swiss Alps looks like... Hope you make it back to Northern New England again some day.
We know the whole can't name one thing! All of those sound amazing! We would love to visit the Tetons in the fall sometime. And the Olympic Peninsula is one of our favorite places ever, as is Glacier National Park. We definitely want to make it back to New England. We want to venture up to Nova Scotia someday, so we can't wait to make it back up that way.
Thank you for sharing this “Best Of” video! I’ve been watching your videos religiously all year and the top place that you guys went to that made me want to go was definitely Colorado. I live in AZ and I’ve never been to Colorado before even though it’s technically not too far from me. So Telluride is at the top of my list! With New England as a close second 😉
I love stats and bloopers so this was a win. So glad you guys enjoyed New England so much, fun to see you visited most of the spots I love here. The only thing missing was some kind of crazy Walmart parking lot story :)
This video was so fun to watch! I was smiling the ENTIRE TIME as you guys recapped your memories and we remembered seeing you visit these places in your videos. It was so fun! We’re so glad you guys enjoyed your time with us. It made Jen tear up that your time with us made it into one of your top experiences of 2021! We can’t wait to have you on board PIVOT again for another boat life adventure where we’ll be sure to enjoy more slow mornings drinking coffee together. Until then FaceTime calls will have to continue into 2022. We love you guys and hope you do do a yearly recap video like this every year because it was so much fun to watch. 🛥💙🚐
Reporter: "Coach Waldecker, I know you've just talked to your Michigan team about the results. What did you have to say to them?" Me: "Yeah, you know, it was a tough loss, but our hats off to Colorado and Wyoming on the destinations and the hikes. They're great states, they have a ton of altitude, you gotta give 'em a lot of credit. We just have to work with what we have. I told my people that we'll be ready next time. You know, Minnesota and Utah really brought it with the food and the coffee. We talked about pasty-flavored ice cream, but I think we know that's a bad idea. We might go with some Tex-Mex pasties for more Flavortown action, but I don't know, probably not what the miners would have done - we'll have to go over some things and see what we can improve. We'll probably talk to the league about some new categories like Best Dune, Best Mine, or Best Water Color. Best History would be good, but no guarantee we would win against all those covered bridges in Vermont. Gotta hand it to our Fort Wilkins guys not breaking character; they gave 110%. This loss isn't on them. We still have plenty of automotive heritage, kayaking, and boating, we've got the largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere, and we've got Detroit pizza and the Motown Museum, so you know, kind of like the Lions, I think we'll eventually get a win some year. Just don't put us up against Alaska. When A+K go to AK, it's going to be mind-blowing. We don't want that. But we think we can take Iowa. Or Kansas."
Hahahaha you’re too funny!!! Trust us, we LOVED Michigan! That’s why I gave the whole Great Lakes a shout out at first because it kills me to even pick hahah. A Tex-Mex pasty sounds solid, that needs to be created!
Oh, I know you loved Michigan, and you did a great job here! You had a lot of tough choices to make! You almost wish you could do a whole March Madness bracket on some of this stuff. When you get to all 63 national parks, that would actually fit for a March Madness bracket. :)
This was awesome!! Loved the "bloopers". Your videos have brought me so much joy. You brought a bunch of strangers into your world sharing your adventurous experiences and changed lives. Thank you for being so open. Wish you a much needed rest, a very warm holiday with you family and friends. Til you post again stay safe, healthy and peace of mind.
This is a good list! I think it would be cool if maybe on the website you posted like a full top 10 (all time not just this year) of some of these categories. Obviously that’s super hard I just think it would be cool to see
Thank you both for taking me along with you on your amazing adventures!! I got to see places I never would have. Merry Christmas and wishing you an amazing new year!❤
What a year! Hope your injury heals fast. We unfortunately know the feeling. Never been to San Juan, so sounds like we need to add it to our long list lol. Kudos to Acadia. Small but amaaaaazing park. Can’t say great enough things about it. On a side note, we’re happy to see you taking off the rest of the year. Everyone thinks you need to keep pumping out videos, but this is holiday time. Friends, family, breaks, anything. Have a happy holiday and can’t wait to see what you do next year.
Absolutely! We have hardly filmed in the 5 weeks we have been home, which has been really nice as well! Trying to put ourselves first for once haha, it's harder than it sounds!
This was so great! I loved hearing the recap and your overall thoughts and top picks. I'm adding some things to my list for sure. I'm caught up to 2022! Haha at the end of 2022...
What an amazing list! I really really enjoyed this video. You guys had an amazing year! The San Juans are absolutely amazing. I’m from Albuquerque and lucky to have the San Juans nearby😀 I’m hoping to experience New England one of these days!!
We absolutely love watching your videos! We took our own trip out west earlier this year with our cargo trailer conversion and after watching this video I realized we were neighbors when you stayed at Old Hwy 89 Dispersed Camping near Kanab/Mt. Carmel, Utah! That's our black truck and white cargo trailer right below your van - that's crazy! We stayed there a week as a base for Zion and Bryce Canyon and can't wait to get back out there! Capitol Reef is our favorite National Park in Utah, too - loved the cinnamon roll at Gifford House! Watching your channel was a big inspiration for us to start our own channel - we definitely have a ways to go to get the quality of yours, but we're loving it! Enjoy your time in Texas and have a Merry Christmas!
I loved the animation of your journey this year ❤ You know when you sit there mesmerised watching something... that was that map!! Interesting to hear you say, Kathryn that you'd consider living in Colorado. How are you guys with long term snow? As a nation, we freak out when we get just a light dusting and everything comes to a halt - I'd not like the idea of living outside of a city (with public transit) where the snow lingers for a long time. Looking forward to finding out more about your plans for 2022, the coastal stuff you hinted at the other month all sounds amazing. Keeping my fingers crossed you guys head to Alaska for the summer🤞Hope you guys have a lovely Christmas an relaxing break. We thought we were going to have to self isolate again this year, but after a few nervous days waiting on a PCR test, an earlier 'positive' lateral flow test turned out to have been a false positive so we're free - thank goodness!! See you guys in the New Year x
Adam did so awesome with the map! We have some new map animations in the works for next year's big video series 🙌🏼 We have warmed up to the idea of living near snow. In Seattle, we loved having snow close by, but not right outside our door. While our plan is to still end up back in WA one day, Colorado would be a wonderful second choice. SO excited to share our plans for next year, if all goes somewhat to plan, it will be the best and most beautiful year ever! We are so glad y'all had false positives. Scheduling some tests for us now for some travel during the holidays and hoping we have the same negative results 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Have a wonderful holiday!
Newly subscribed to your channel, it looks like I joined at the right time to view your videos over the coming dark winter nights in UK. Happy Christmas to you both and have a safe New Year.
Great video showcasing places we have never been but really want to visit like Duluth. And a lot of pretty spots you found and visited in the Upper Midwest and in the Rockies. You did surprise us when you showed clips of Pictured Rocks, Kitch-iti-kipi, Lake of the Clouds in the Porcupine Mountains State Park and the Sleeping Bear Dunes and then named Minnesota as your big surprise 😳 we were like yay Michigan got a spot and then Doh! 😥 It is beautiful around the Apostle Islands and Upper Michigan, and visiting Duluth and Split Rock lighthouse is first on our list for 2022... We had enjoyed your Upper Peninsula video with the JamPot and Calumet and Delaware Mine and the Keweenaw Peninsula spots.... We finally got up there this year for the very first time and enjoyed the Fall colors up there 🍁🍂
Hahaha that was my way of cheating and saying Michigan was also a big surprise, but I could only pick one. 😜 We loved Michigan and knew it would be gorgeous! We just truly had no idea Minnesota was so beautiful!
Very nice. So much fun to watch your recap. I totally agree with the Kiva Coffeehouse and the Valley of the gods. The vistas are out of this world. I still have to catch up with the New England videos. That'll be my X-Mas present ;-) Thx for taking us with you. Safe travels, happy X-Mas and of course a happy new year with more awesome time on the road
Your trip is inspiring and I really enjoyed hearing about your highlights from 2021! Here's to happy, healthy, and exciting plans in the upcoming new year!
Merry Christmas from Rochester NY (Near Niagara Falls) We love your channel with your genuine good nature and adventurous spirits. I travelled 10000 miles in 9 weeks with a friend from NYS to San Jose California and back through the southern states when I was 19 and realized what a great country we live it with all its beauty, I recently (October )purchased a 2019 Ram 3500 Diesel DRW/Nu Camp Cirrus 920 truck camper in Colorado and my 23 year old son and I drove it back 2200 miles and visited 10 states. I retire in 2 years from Law Enforcement and wondered how long your trip lasted? I have visited 41 states and 8 National Parks and will use your compass to visit many of the same areas that I have never visited in hopes of seeing all 63 National Parks, 50 states and enjoy the areas like you two have! Stay healthy, hungry and adventurous!
Merry Christmas Daniel! And congrats on the new camper! Your trip back alone sounds pretty epic and you’ll definitely have some awesome adventures in it to come. We have been on the road for 2+ years now, with no plans of stopping anytime soon!
Glad to you were guys liked New England. Next time you should stop at Mystic, CT. Plenty to do for the day and you'll love Sift Bakery and the Seaport Museum. Happy Holidays!
Hello Adventurers😊😊😊, great video and enjoyed the really funny parts! I hope y'all have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year🎄🎄🎄! Looking forward to see the next videos in January 2022! Also looking to continue checking off National Parks. How many National Parks have you been to?
WaHoo! Just finished watching ALL YOUR VIDEOS!🎉🎈 What a great job you do; from entertaining interesting content, to research, to cinematography, to music. Can't wait to see what you have planned for 2023. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.😍
Merry Christmas to both of you!! Kona too! Hoping the New Year brings more travels & fun on the road. Can't believe you traveled over 21,000 miles, wow!! Must have been difficult to pick some favorites but it was fun to see these places again & remember them 👍💟 Thank you for sharing your fun, memorable experiences.
Hi! Thanks for your great videos. I have watched all the Utah & Nevada ones as we are going on a family road trip beginning of April 2nd. I have changed some hike trails, places to visit and when to visit them best during the day, based on your experiences. OMG the traffic in Zion. How wonderful that you got to avoid the crowds visiting less "popular", unknown alternatives. They were equally beautiful spots. Fantastic info, much appreciated! Love the coffee and food reviews so much. Definitely going to try some out when in Kanab Utah. We start our journey in San Francisco going to Yosemite National Park all the way to Bryce and Zion. Alaska is on our must do list as well, so we will surely follow in your footsteps in a few years. Wish we could also take our dog too, Kona is so cute. But our Aiko would not feel happy on a 13 our flight all the way from Belgium. Good luck to you, safe travels and have fun. Greetings from the Timmerman clan.
Thank you for watching! We hope you have a great trip to the National Parks. Yes, Zion can be extremely busy, but it is well worth it. And you will love San Francisco and Yosemite! That is a pretty epic trip! We are excited to create some very helpful video and written content for Alaska this year so stay tuned!
I'm so happy there was so much Minnesota on the list! I'm a very new subscriber and haven't watched all your vlogs from there yet, but I did watch your Duluth vlog because I live about 45 minutes away from there. I'd never even heard of OMC, but now I can't wait to go! You guys are an inspiration to get out and explore, which is something I really needed right now. I found you while doing research for my family's trip to the Black Hills in June (we've been before, but that was 20 years ago), and I'm really excited to visit some of the same places you guys did. Thanks so much for all you do, and Happy New Year!
Happy Holidays guys! Looking forward to your adventures in 2022. FYI Colorado is a great place to live when you get off the road! As you know it has tons of hiking, great food and fun people. Plus it’s very dog friendly 👍🐾❤️👏😄😄 and it’s not super far from your family in Texas 👍
Merry Christmas Guys!!! Isn't it just to hard to pick the best of this big beautiful country!!!!! They're all good in their differences! You guys are killin it! May your best day in 2021 be your worst day in 2022!!! Onward and upward I say!
FLY HIGH DULUTH! 😉 So glad to see Duluth on a list because that's where we're moving soon (refuge city, baby). I took so many notes from this video, so excited to try so many of these places! Happy holidays and can't wait to see where 2022 takes you, guys ❤
I enjoyed this year traveling with the 3 of you. Such a big and diverse country we live in. Making the choices would be difficult. So many good places and food items to pick from. Laughed all the way through the blooper reel. Enjoy your downtime., will be looking forward to spending time with you in the new year!! 👍👍🎅🙋♂️
100% Agree that MN was a HUGE surprise for us as well. We loved Split Rock State Park, High Falls the town of Duluth was AWESOME. We found this cute little art store that was downtown that was amazing, the people were so nice. And I agree Its the closest thing that I have found to the shoreline of the PNW and the Oregon area by Brookings and Northern California. Can not wait so see the places you go next year, was also stoked to see the Wind River Range as a top pick as its one of our stops next year!
I don't comment on much of your videos but I thoroughly enjoyed your travels and how you present them. This was no exception. Love the idea for this one and how you kept them secret from each other. My wife loves Acadia as well. We're hoping to go back next fall for our second visit up there. We also are planning out a Banff/Jasper/Rocky Mtn Canada trip for my photography. Excited to hear about your future 2022 plans.
Thank you so much for watching! We are glad you enjoyed it, as two people who spend 24/7 together, keeping this a secret was hard haha! Your plans for next year sound amazing!
DANG! You two did a heck of a review! I was surprised at some of your picks but glad. If you liked the Durango train, you will love Cumbres-Toltec. ....plug for NM. Maybe you could get into visiting some hot springs too! Dan in T or C
Hey you two! Hope you both had a great Christmas and enjoyed much needed time with family! My wife and I absolutely love your vlogs! Makes us remember the good ole days when we were younger and full of energy and action packed days! But really - “Don’t be a doofus, hike the Wampahoofus”! lol lol - seriously, it’s time to get back on the road like really soon! We miss seeing you two so much already! Actually, everyone needs time to rest, share time with loved ones, and just regroup. Until you’re back on the road again, may God bless you both and know your loved by many! Safe travels!
Thank you so much for watching Larry! We will be back on the road in a couple weeks or so, it has been very busy over here catching up on work and seeing family and friends. But lots of good stuff planned for 2022!
Love the channel! It reminds me so much of my wife and I's trips. We found ourselves this past year in Wyoming, South Dekota, North Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan, and Colorado. Fun to relive some of the adventure through your videos. Keep up the good work! Our goal this next year is to visit the Sawtooth Mountains!
I used a BUNCH of info from your CO & Western UT videos to plan my trip. Thanks so much!! It was great watching this video to hear what your favorites were, and to reminisce about my trip. I agree with you about the mountains vs desert. I LOVE the mountains too and I miss them!
Great Recap. I think I'm heading to Colorado next week. I need to see mountains and snow. Have you ever been to the Morton Salt Mine in Saline, Texas? They used to offer a tour that was pretty cool, I don't know if they still do. I didn't know Katheryn had quit her job! #coolbeans
Yay! That will be a lot of fun! As we mostly have worn tank tops and shorts here in Texas, we are itching for mountains and snow. We haven't been there, but that sounds cool!
“Don’t be a doofus” 😂 Lol whenever you guys visit Milwaukee, you HAVE to get their burgers and frozen custard with hot fudge. Lol forgot about your cheese adventures!!!
Thanks for all the wonderful videos in 20211 They all were so much fun. Thanks for taking us along to see the beauty and diversity of our wonderful country. Enjoy your downtime. Have a wonderful holiday season and health, happiness and many adventures in 2022!!!
It is difficult to pick a favorite video of yours....all of them are so AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! (The bloopers were so cute!) Kathryn, you look like you feel better from your fall...yay! Merry Christmas!
Glad that you got to experience Mn. I came for a 2 week visit in 89 from Tx and never went back. We have 2 weeks at end of April to spend in Utah. Thanks for your input on what to see. Enjoy your lives and do as much as possible while you're young. Many hikes not able to do from injuries sustained over the years.
Really enjoyed your channel this fall! Bookmarked a lot of future hikes! If you do the west coast at all next year, I recommend Central Oregon! Sisters and Bend are both awesome for both outdoors and food/coffee, and Crater Lake National Park is a few hours south of there. Don't know if you ever explored there when you lived in WA.
You guys saw so many places and ate so many delicious foods! Been so fun to watch you both grow from working full time while running your channel when you could, to now being full time RUclipsrs. You both put in so much work to your channel and website. You three (of course, have to include Kona!) seriously make the best videos!! Here’s to 1,000,000 followers in 2022! 👏❤️🤩
Thank you so much for all of your support! It was a wild year and lots of changes, but all for the better and we cannot wait for 2022! Probably not 1,000,000, but hopefully take off a 0 and we can make that happen 😜
Y'all this was so fun to watch!!!!! I love the top picks you did! The bloopers had me and my husband laughing out loud!!!!😄😄😄 Rock on A & K!!! Come back to St. Louis and we will meet you at Clementines! Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you! Thank you again for your wonderful videos and input your hard work and fun show through and through!!!
Adam, I can identify with your fry bread taco. We were traveling to Oregon from Mississippi and were on the beautiful highway from Bernidito (sp),New Mexico to Farmington, NM and there was nothing for more than 100 miles, but this very small town with a tiny little cafe. I had a taco that was made with fry bread and it was astounding. I was blown away and stopped there again on our way home. It was the best taco I have ever had, before or since.
That was one AWESOME recap!!! You folks totally changed my mind about New England. Can't wait to see your 2022 plans! This is by far my favorite YT channel!! Your vlogging style is so entertaining. Have a blessed end to 2021 & an even more epic 2022!
aww loved this you guys!!! My bucket list keeps getting longer. The bloopers reel had me crying laughing. Yeah for Acadia!! (says the Mainer) Looking forward to the next adventures!
I really enjoyed your last video of the year as much as I enjoyed all your videos from 2021. My pick for top destination is Utah. I have never been there but it is on my bucket list.You showed how beautiful it is and I want to see it. Your channel is my favorite among the many that I watch. Your photography is top notch and you show so many interesting points in your videos. The places you go to eat are interesting also. Happy Holidays and I will look forward to your 2022 adventures.
You've gotten me through many workdays with your amazing content! Some of your past videos inspired a few trips (Montana & Idaho) I hope to get to the Wind River Range & San Juan now too! I hope you guys have a wonderful holiday! I can't wait to see what's next! ✌
Margaret and i just watched this one. Enjoyed it as we do all the others. Looking forward to seeing what you both and Kona get up to in 2022. Dont forget to get Kona a Lobster roll for Christmas hehe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.. Keith and Margaret.
I could watch you two clowns doing bloopers on a loop for an hour! LOL, thanks for sharing the list. I shared the video with our geocaching community since many combine geocaching with travel, hiking, etc. Looking forward to 2022!!
First video I’ve seen and my wife and I love it. We will be exploring the western part of US the next 2 years so love seeing this and will be backtracking your videos.
Really really enjoyed this! We went out and got our favorite Chinese takeout just so we could sit and celebrate this special occasion video. So enjoyed it! (The food and video ) You two are both wonderful souls. Thanks for the laughs and good times. 😀 Jeff n Michele RI
I'm so excited to hear that you are headed to Alaska! I've been several times but have never driven. Headed up to Fairbanks next month for the World Ice Carving Championships and will probably freeze to death. Love your channel!
I loved this recap and to hear your favorite places! I loved all the bloopers at the end. I found you when looking up videos for the Cumberland Gap Historic National Park and I am still trying to watch all your videos, they are a treat when I am walking the treadmill in the morning. I can not wait to hear about all your 2022 adventures! Happy Exploring!
Love this recap. And love your guides. Your South Dakota guide for Badlands + Black Hills added so much to our travels there this year and I’ve passed it along to friends a number of times too. I’d love to see a guide detailing your fall foliage northeast itinerary (or a suggested itinerary). Happy holidays!
We are finally getting caught up on guides and just have New England ones left, so stay tuned! We are glad that you enjoy them, we really love writing them! Thanks a bunch for sharing them too ❤️
Thanks for your travels. I will continue to travel with you. I enjoy your hiking especially at places I have been since I don't hike due to my age(69). I enjoy seeing what I missed.
Thank you very much. I love watching you Videos. They allways give me a got feeling. They just give me energy and spark my want for adventure. I lived in Maryland and Virginia for about three years more then ten years ago. I loved it. Hope one day we get to ship our Van to the States. I especially loved telluride too. Greetings from Germany. Bettina
Awesome last video of the year! It was so much fun to see the last eight months recap… So looking forward to hear what you guys are going to be doing in 2022… Please please please keep the awesome adventures coming our way… My family absolutely loves watching your videos every single week… We often talk about them throughout the week as well… Thank you for keeping us entertained!!!!
I’ve so enjoyed watching all of your videos this year. We chose Telluride for our summer vacation/road trip this summer after watching your videos. It was amazing! Can’t wait to see where 2022 takes you! Ruth ( from Austin!)
My husband and I love watching your videos! You helped plan our honeymoon that we took out west this past September 😂. Happy New Year and we look forward to watching you in 2022!
I loved the San Juan mountains also. They almost pass my love of the Tetons but not quite. I love the blooper part with your air guitar (tripod)😁. Hope you have a great vacation. Happy holidays and will be looking for your new vlogs in January.
Really appreciate you sharing your 2021 adventures with us all. Merry Christmas and happy holidays. Looking forward to seeing what 2022 has in store for you.
I loved this one! So creative with the hot chocolate! It was so fun hearing your favorites and I LOVED the bloopers at the end…I was smiling the whole time while watching them! Thanks for a great year of beautiful places! I can’t wait to see all your travels in 2022 and hope to join you on at least one!
You both covered a lot of ground this past year and I enjoyed the videos I did watch, so I will have to catch the ones from Colorado, Utah, and Minnesota. I really like that you show us the different foods, scenery, and the towns that you visit, you do a great job editing and with your videos. Enjoy your time off and Happy Holiday to you both!
I found your channel when you were in southern Utah, my favorite part of the country. I've watched every video since with my 5 year old, to help get him excited to travel and hike. Thanks for keeping the channel kid friendly. You guys are super fun to watch. I can't wait to see where you travel to next year!
What an awesome year y’all have had!! It’s been amazing coming along with you!! Loved this recap video & really loved that Acadia was your favorite!! The bloopers were the best!!😂Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!! Looking forward to next year and what excitement y’all have up your sleeves!!🥰Greatly appreciate all you do for our entertainment! Enjoy so your time off - y’all have certainly earned it!!😴
Loved the favorites video!! Love that you chose the Mexican food truck in Green River as a fave. We went there because of your video!! Look forward to hearing next year’s plans! Happy holidays!
I had such a fun year watching your videos and traveling virtually! Thank you for putting out such great content! Also, the bloopers made me laugh.😄 Merry Christmas A+K!
Thank you for all of the support and love this year, it has meant more to us than you will ever know. We hope you have an amazing holiday season and we will see you in 2022!

Merry Christmas! You guys gave us great content and dream destinations for 2022! Get some well deserved rest.
You are inspiring a generation to get outside as you educate us on the fantastic locations in the US to explore and experience. I'll keep watching (and following) your videos if you keep making them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Don't forget to keep reminding us of the best way to support you in these experiences.
Thanks Doug! The best way to support is to just watch, comment, and thumbs up! It helps us a ton!
Great video! We live about 100 miles south of Duluth, so were excited to hear you pick the North Shore in a few categories. We LOVE it 'up' there and your video reminds us not to take it for granted. We have really enjoyed watching your adventures this year. Keep up the good work!
@@AdventuresofAplusK love your videos. Really miss the patreon loved getting post cards from your travels
I absolutely LOVED this video!!! So neat to hear your “tops”. I definitely have a lot of videos left to watch to see them all. Thank you for the great content. The bloopers brought a huge smile to my face. You two are so fun. I hope the next 2-3 weeks are refreshing. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
So happy you enjoyed it! It was our first time trying something like this! Have a wonderful holiday ❤️
That was awesome! So, so fun to recap the year. I totally feel like I've been right there with you the whole time and it was cool to see a little Minnesota representation! Adam, I couldn't agree more about the tacos!!! I've literally been raving about those for over a decade now and to know they brought you so much joy as well just brings a smile to my face. It's been awesome following your journey this full year and it's hard to believe 2022 is around the corner. I hope you have a super relaxing holidays and recharge and relax as much as possible. Cheers to an amazing year!!!
Thank you for joining us for all of our adventures this year! We are so glad we got to make it to your neck of the woods, we loved it up in the Great Lakes! Happy holidays to you and the fam!
It must have been so hard to pick your favs! You have truly shown what an amazingly gorgeous and diverse country we live in! I have enjoyed your journeys so much from this side of the screen. Oh, but I think I missed Kona's top picks....I bet she had some favorite hikes; I'm sure her least favorite was the one with the ladders (I think) where Adam had to carry her. Have a very merry Christmas, guys! Looking forward to all the 2022 adventures!
It was tough! I spent weeks going back and forth haha! Kona says that her favorite was Mount Elbert, but definitely agree her least was the one with the ladders haha
Greetings from Dallas - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I love everything about your channel - your personalities, enthusiasm, passion for what you do, your adventurous spirits, the beautiful footage, the great recommendations you provide… I could go on and on. Enjoy a well deserved break, and I look forward to see what you’ve got planned for next year!
Thank you for the super kind words Pam, we are so glad you enjoy our videos, it means a lot!
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. All the effort you put into producing amazing videos is truly inspirational. I've looked forward to watching them week after week. Best wishes for a rapid recovery from your injury. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for the kind words on the videos! We are so glad you enjoy them!
So excited to see all the thumbs up for Minnesota! There may be more spectacular places but there's something about it, isn’t there?
And there are so many other places to visit including the Boundary Waters.
I've really enjoyed traveling with you two. Great job very well done!
--Paul from Minneapolis
Definitely something special about it! We really loved it there and will be back to canoe the BWCA Wilderness!
@@AdventuresofAplusK It's the smells! There is a unique mineral like fragrance to the rocks and streams I have not encountered anywhere else. Add in the pine and I am just truly at peace when I go up there.
This was FANTASTIC! You both are an amazing adventurous loving hilarious couple. I love the bloopers! Your channel is #1 on my vanlife subscribers list. Enjoy your time off with your family to recharge. I'm excited about your travels in 2022. It's going to be GREAT! Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎅❄☃️
Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it! And 2022 will be AWESOME, we cannot wait!
Thanks for all the hard work that goes into making these fabulous videos 👏👏 still my favourite RUclips channel , makes my day when a new A+K vid shows up , have a great Christmas and good luck in 2022 ❤️
Thank you for all of your support Oliver, we super appreciate it!
Y’all make awesome videos. Looked like a great 2021!
Thank you! It was an awesome year!
You guys killed it this year! Loved watching (almost) every adventure. Thank you for sharing with us. Can't wait to see what's in store for 2022! Happy Holidays ❤️
Thank you so much for following along this year! ❤️
It has been a real pleasure watching your adventures this year. You've taken me to places that I haven't been to, and probably won't go to, and you've seen some of the things that I have seen (parts of Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado) so I can share your enthusiasm for them. Thank you so much, take a break and relax and regroup. Merry Christmas.... and until next time... Travel Safe.
Thank you so much for all of the support this year! We hope we can share some new places with you next year!
Loved watching this! I still have some videos to catch up with watching from this year, but I've seen most of them and they're so inspiring! Your videos helped my husband and I figure out some of the destinations on our cross-country trip and we had the time of our lives! Looking forward to seeing what next year holds for you guys, Happy New Year!
Thank you both so much for watching! We are so glad we could help y’all with some of your own adventures!
What an epic adventure 2021 was…compliments of 2 amazing humans & a very special canine!👊🏼It’s been a privilege & a delight to tag along! ✨🌎✨You ROCK in every way imaginable! 🤙🏼 All the best now & in the New Year!🎉🎉🎉Sweet hugs to Kona!🥰
Thank you so much for tagging along! We really appreciate all of your support!
What an awesome way to end the 2021 adventure year! You two are a joy to watch and are just so real. I’m thankful we stumbled on your channel…hands down our favorite. God bless you guys, Merry Christmas and cheers to the 2022 adventure season!
Thank you so much for watching! We are so grateful you stumbled upon our channel too! Happy holidays! ❤️
Love how you gave Kathryn coffee like Kara and Nate but put a spin on it with the cookies and Coco!
Y'all put out great videos, high quality editing, beautiful scenery, and are a joy to watch. May you and yours enjoy a Merry Christmas, a Happy new Year, and continue to be blessed by the Best. Till our next adventure, peace.
Thank you so much for the kind words Richard! Happy holidays!
Aww, I LOVED this! You guys gotta do this every year now! Y’all are my favorite channel on RUclips. Thanks so much for living out your passion and sharing it with all of us!
(Also, hell yeah for all the Minnesota mentions. 👌🏻)
We will definitely try to! Although if this year was hard we have a feeling next year will be harder to pick! And we have had quite a few Minnesotans super stoked about how much we loved it, it is such a special place!
I absolutely love all of your videos! Many of the places you have been to, I have been to as well, but for those I have not been to, you have provided a lot of new ideas for future travels. As a recent retiree, my goal is to get to as many National Parks as possible (I have 33 under my belt) and Acadia is one of them I desperately want to see, so I really loved that video. Thank you for sharing your travels with the RUclips community and I wish you much success as you focus on A+K full time. Happy Holidays!
Thank you so much for watching! We hope you can make it to Acadia, it is such a gorgeous park!
What a great recap it was fun to revisit with you guys as we’ve watched them all! Love the bloops and truly appreciate all the editing time it took to create. Merry Christmas to you all!~Cara 🎅🏼
Thank you Cara! It was fun to put this together!
Thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us. Thirty years ago, I took a year off and traveled across the country by myself. I have a map that I kept, showing all the roads I traveled and places I visited, just like the map you have at the beginning of the video. When you look at that map, you realize how many places in our country that you missed. This is an amazing place that we live in. I've been able to fill in a few more places on my map since then, but I still have a lot places to see. I've really enjoyed traveling about with you guys this year as it reminded me of my time on the road. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and we all look forward to seeing more adventures next year.
There is SO much to see in the US, it's crazy! We are so glad we have this giant backyard to explore for the rest of our lives. What has been your favorite place you have been to?
@@AdventuresofAplusK That's a difficult question. I've got to break that into two parts. The first is from my adventure 30 years ago and I can't name just one, so how about three! I have two that occurred during the full fall foliage out west. The first time I saw the Grand Tetons on a cold crisp late September morning at sunrise along the Snake River, with all the color in the trees and the amazing snow capped Tetons in the background. The second one was the first time I saw the Grand Canyon. In all the pictures I had seen prior, it appeared to be a very dry place. I actually visited the North Rim first and I thought I was driving through a forest, just like here in New England. Then bam, the canyon appeared and it wasn't what I expected. Number 3 was when I camped on top of a mountain in the northeast corner of Olympic National Park. I was alone and had wild deer grazing within feet of my camp. I also sat high on a cliff and watched coyotes (it might have been wolves - too far away to tell) walking along a game trail below me and was glad I was high above them... Honorable mentions are: camping on a mountain in northern California watching the thunder storms roll by Mt Shasta to the south with the moon lighting up the whole seen. A second one was watching the sun set on the beach at La Push Washington. The color was amazing.. More recently, traveling through and around Glacier National Park with my wife on our 25th anniversary in 2019. So many more places and so many more places to see. Also, I loved the San Juan Mountains too. Thought to myself, this must be what the Swiss Alps looks like... Hope you make it back to Northern New England again some day.
We know the whole can't name one thing! All of those sound amazing! We would love to visit the Tetons in the fall sometime. And the Olympic Peninsula is one of our favorite places ever, as is Glacier National Park.
We definitely want to make it back to New England. We want to venture up to Nova Scotia someday, so we can't wait to make it back up that way.
Thank you for sharing this “Best Of” video! I’ve been watching your videos religiously all year and the top place that you guys went to that made me want to go was definitely Colorado. I live in AZ and I’ve never been to Colorado before even though it’s technically not too far from me. So Telluride is at the top of my list! With New England as a close second 😉
Woo! Solid choices! We loved both so much 😍😍
I love stats and bloopers so this was a win.
So glad you guys enjoyed New England so much, fun to see you visited most of the spots I love here.
The only thing missing was some kind of crazy Walmart parking lot story :)
Lol! Thankfully we don't have any. Otherwise we would have no where to sleep lol!
This video was so fun to watch! I was smiling the ENTIRE TIME as you guys recapped your memories and we remembered seeing you visit these places in your videos. It was so fun! We’re so glad you guys enjoyed your time with us. It made Jen tear up that your time with us made it into one of your top experiences of 2021! We can’t wait to have you on board PIVOT again for another boat life adventure where we’ll be sure to enjoy more slow mornings drinking coffee together. Until then FaceTime calls will have to continue into 2022. We love you guys and hope you do do a yearly recap video like this every year because it was so much fun to watch. 🛥💙🚐
We love y’all! Such a huge highlight of the year and impacted our year and life positively in so many ways ❤️❤️
You two have such a super dope vibe 🚐 come back to Acadia soon 🌲 I’ll show y’all around 🌊 🦞
Reporter: "Coach Waldecker, I know you've just talked to your Michigan team about the results. What did you have to say to them?" Me: "Yeah, you know, it was a tough loss, but our hats off to Colorado and Wyoming on the destinations and the hikes. They're great states, they have a ton of altitude, you gotta give 'em a lot of credit. We just have to work with what we have. I told my people that we'll be ready next time. You know, Minnesota and Utah really brought it with the food and the coffee. We talked about pasty-flavored ice cream, but I think we know that's a bad idea. We might go with some Tex-Mex pasties for more Flavortown action, but I don't know, probably not what the miners would have done - we'll have to go over some things and see what we can improve. We'll probably talk to the league about some new categories like Best Dune, Best Mine, or Best Water Color. Best History would be good, but no guarantee we would win against all those covered bridges in Vermont. Gotta hand it to our Fort Wilkins guys not breaking character; they gave 110%. This loss isn't on them. We still have plenty of automotive heritage, kayaking, and boating, we've got the largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere, and we've got Detroit pizza and the Motown Museum, so you know, kind of like the Lions, I think we'll eventually get a win some year. Just don't put us up against Alaska. When A+K go to AK, it's going to be mind-blowing. We don't want that. But we think we can take Iowa. Or Kansas."
Hahahaha you’re too funny!!! Trust us, we LOVED Michigan! That’s why I gave the whole Great Lakes a shout out at first because it kills me to even pick hahah. A Tex-Mex pasty sounds solid, that needs to be created!
Oh, I know you loved Michigan, and you did a great job here! You had a lot of tough choices to make! You almost wish you could do a whole March Madness bracket on some of this stuff. When you get to all 63 national parks, that would actually fit for a March Madness bracket. :)
This was awesome!! Loved the "bloopers".
Your videos have brought me so much joy. You brought a bunch of strangers into your world sharing your adventurous experiences and changed lives. Thank you for being so open.
Wish you a much needed rest, a very warm holiday with you family and friends.
Til you post again stay safe, healthy and peace of mind.
Thank you so much for watching and for the support, it definitely makes us sharing all of this a lot more meaningful for us!
IF & WHEN you make it to CT, check out Ashley’s Ice Cream!!! There are 5 locations along the Shoreline.
We definitely will make it to CT, so thank you for the ice cream tip!
This is a good list! I think it would be cool if maybe on the website you posted like a full top 10 (all time not just this year) of some of these categories. Obviously that’s super hard I just think it would be cool to see
That would be so hard! Hahah but that’s a good problem to have I guess!
Thank you both for taking me along with you on your amazing adventures!! I got to see places I never would have. Merry Christmas and wishing you an amazing new year!❤
Happy holidays! Thank you so much for following along!
Congratulations on leaving corporate America! And yeah, Telluride is the prettiest town I have ever visited!
Thank you! It is great to be our own bosses! Glad you agree on Telluride...it's stunning 😍
What a year! Hope your injury heals fast. We unfortunately know the feeling. Never been to San Juan, so sounds like we need to add it to our long list lol. Kudos to Acadia. Small but amaaaaazing park. Can’t say great enough things about it. On a side note, we’re happy to see you taking off the rest of the year. Everyone thinks you need to keep pumping out videos, but this is holiday time. Friends, family, breaks, anything. Have a happy holiday and can’t wait to see what you do next year.
Absolutely! We have hardly filmed in the 5 weeks we have been home, which has been really nice as well! Trying to put ourselves first for once haha, it's harder than it sounds!
@@AdventuresofAplusK good to hear. I know it’s your livelihood but it’s nice to enjoy yourselves too without the need to film everything.
This was so great! I loved hearing the recap and your overall thoughts and top picks. I'm adding some things to my list for sure. I'm caught up to 2022! Haha at the end of 2022...
The North Shore for the win!!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
What an amazing list! I really really enjoyed this video. You guys had an amazing year! The San Juans are absolutely amazing. I’m from Albuquerque and lucky to have the San Juans nearby😀 I’m hoping to experience New England one of these days!!
That is an awesome area to live in! You have tons of beauty near you!
We absolutely love watching your videos! We took our own trip out west earlier this year with our cargo trailer conversion and after watching this video I realized we were neighbors when you stayed at Old Hwy 89 Dispersed Camping near Kanab/Mt. Carmel, Utah! That's our black truck and white cargo trailer right below your van - that's crazy! We stayed there a week as a base for Zion and Bryce Canyon and can't wait to get back out there! Capitol Reef is our favorite National Park in Utah, too - loved the cinnamon roll at Gifford House! Watching your channel was a big inspiration for us to start our own channel - we definitely have a ways to go to get the quality of yours, but we're loving it! Enjoy your time in Texas and have a Merry Christmas!
No way! How crazy is that?! 😱 That was a really nice spot, we loved working from there for a week or so! Congrats on starting your channel as well 🥳
Hands down you guys are definitely one of my favorites van live couple..
We appreciate your support so much!
Alaska 🎉! Very exciting. Cant wait to watch you head to Alaska and experience the largest US state.
I loved the animation of your journey this year ❤ You know when you sit there mesmerised watching something... that was that map!! Interesting to hear you say, Kathryn that you'd consider living in Colorado. How are you guys with long term snow? As a nation, we freak out when we get just a light dusting and everything comes to a halt - I'd not like the idea of living outside of a city (with public transit) where the snow lingers for a long time. Looking forward to finding out more about your plans for 2022, the coastal stuff you hinted at the other month all sounds amazing. Keeping my fingers crossed you guys head to Alaska for the summer🤞Hope you guys have a lovely Christmas an relaxing break. We thought we were going to have to self isolate again this year, but after a few nervous days waiting on a PCR test, an earlier 'positive' lateral flow test turned out to have been a false positive so we're free - thank goodness!! See you guys in the New Year x
Adam did so awesome with the map! We have some new map animations in the works for next year's big video series 🙌🏼 We have warmed up to the idea of living near snow. In Seattle, we loved having snow close by, but not right outside our door. While our plan is to still end up back in WA one day, Colorado would be a wonderful second choice.
SO excited to share our plans for next year, if all goes somewhat to plan, it will be the best and most beautiful year ever! We are so glad y'all had false positives. Scheduling some tests for us now for some travel during the holidays and hoping we have the same negative results 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Have a wonderful holiday!
Newly subscribed to your channel, it looks like I joined at the right time to view your videos over the coming dark winter nights in UK. Happy Christmas to you both and have a safe New Year.
Thank you so much for following along! We hope you enjoy the videos and we hope to make it to the UK again someday! We ❤️ it there!
Not sure if my first comment posted🤷♀️ but if you guys come to San Diego, stop by and say hi!
Omgoodness, why didn't Dr numb your hand before cleaning it out???
I am not sure to be honest. They did numb it eventually though.
@@AdventuresofAplusK 🤔
Great video showcasing places we have never been but really want to visit like Duluth. And a lot of pretty spots you found and visited in the Upper Midwest and in the Rockies.
You did surprise us when you showed clips of Pictured Rocks, Kitch-iti-kipi, Lake of the Clouds in the Porcupine Mountains State Park and the Sleeping Bear Dunes and then named Minnesota as your big surprise 😳 we were like yay Michigan got a spot and then Doh! 😥
It is beautiful around the Apostle Islands and Upper Michigan, and visiting Duluth and Split Rock lighthouse is first on our list for 2022... We had enjoyed your Upper Peninsula video with the JamPot and Calumet and Delaware Mine and the Keweenaw Peninsula spots.... We finally got up there this year for the very first time and enjoyed the Fall colors up there 🍁🍂
Hahaha that was my way of cheating and saying Michigan was also a big surprise, but I could only pick one. 😜 We loved Michigan and knew it would be gorgeous! We just truly had no idea Minnesota was so beautiful!
Very nice. So much fun to watch your recap. I totally agree with the Kiva Coffeehouse and the Valley of the gods. The vistas are out of this world.
I still have to catch up with the New England videos. That'll be my X-Mas present ;-)
Thx for taking us with you.
Safe travels, happy X-Mas and of course a happy new year with more awesome time on the road
Utah is wild, it's like another world! We hope you have a great holiday!
I’m so proud that Minnesota made the list a few times!!! Next time you guys come I’d love to show you the best foodie places in Minneapolis!!
We will definitely visit Minneapolis next time!
Your trip is inspiring and I really enjoyed hearing about your highlights from 2021! Here's to happy, healthy, and exciting plans in the upcoming new year!
We hope the same for you as well!
Merry Christmas from Rochester NY (Near Niagara Falls) We love your channel with your genuine good nature and adventurous spirits. I travelled 10000 miles in 9 weeks with a friend from NYS to San Jose California and back through the southern states when I was 19 and realized what a great country we live it with all its beauty, I recently (October )purchased a 2019 Ram 3500 Diesel DRW/Nu Camp Cirrus 920 truck camper in Colorado and my 23 year old son and I drove it back 2200 miles and visited 10 states. I retire in 2 years from Law Enforcement and wondered how long your trip lasted? I have visited 41 states and 8 National Parks and will use your compass to visit many of the same areas that I have never visited in hopes of seeing all 63 National Parks, 50 states and enjoy the areas like you two have! Stay healthy, hungry and adventurous!
Merry Christmas Daniel! And congrats on the new camper! Your trip back alone sounds pretty epic and you’ll definitely have some awesome adventures in it to come. We have been on the road for 2+ years now, with no plans of stopping anytime soon!
Glad to you were guys liked New England. Next time you should stop at Mystic, CT. Plenty to do for the day and you'll love Sift Bakery and the Seaport Museum. Happy Holidays!
We can't wait to explore CT! Thanks for the tips!
Hello Adventurers😊😊😊, great video and enjoyed the really funny parts! I hope y'all have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year🎄🎄🎄! Looking forward to see the next videos in January 2022! Also looking to continue checking off National Parks. How many National Parks have you been to?
Merry Christmas Al! Thanks for all of the support this year! We have been to 41 total! Hoping to check off some new and repeat ones next year 😃
WaHoo! Just finished watching ALL YOUR VIDEOS!🎉🎈 What a great job you do; from entertaining interesting content, to research, to cinematography, to music. Can't wait to see what you have planned for 2023. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.😍
Woohoo! Thank you so much!
Merry Christmas to both of you!! Kona too! Hoping the New Year brings more travels & fun on the road. Can't believe you traveled over 21,000 miles, wow!! Must have been difficult to pick some favorites but it was fun to see these places again & remember them 👍💟 Thank you for sharing your fun, memorable experiences.
It was SO difficult! But that just means we had a lot of beautiful places to choose from! Thanks for following along!
Hi! Thanks for your great videos. I have watched all the Utah & Nevada ones as we are going on a family road trip beginning of April 2nd. I have changed some hike trails, places to visit and when to visit them best during the day, based on your experiences. OMG the traffic in Zion. How wonderful that you got to avoid the crowds visiting less "popular", unknown alternatives. They were equally beautiful spots. Fantastic info, much appreciated! Love the coffee and food reviews so much. Definitely going to try some out when in Kanab Utah. We start our journey in San Francisco going to Yosemite National Park all the way to Bryce and Zion. Alaska is on our must do list as well, so we will surely follow in your footsteps in a few years. Wish we could also take our dog too, Kona is so cute. But our Aiko would not feel happy on a 13 our flight all the way from Belgium. Good luck to you, safe travels and have fun. Greetings from the Timmerman clan.
Thank you for watching! We hope you have a great trip to the National Parks. Yes, Zion can be extremely busy, but it is well worth it. And you will love San Francisco and Yosemite! That is a pretty epic trip! We are excited to create some very helpful video and written content for Alaska this year so stay tuned!
I'm so happy there was so much Minnesota on the list! I'm a very new subscriber and haven't watched all your vlogs from there yet, but I did watch your Duluth vlog because I live about 45 minutes away from there. I'd never even heard of OMC, but now I can't wait to go! You guys are an inspiration to get out and explore, which is something I really needed right now. I found you while doing research for my family's trip to the Black Hills in June (we've been before, but that was 20 years ago), and I'm really excited to visit some of the same places you guys did. Thanks so much for all you do, and Happy New Year!
We loved Minnesota so much! Thank you so much for watching our videos and we hope you have an awesome trip out to the Black Hills, it’s beautiful! 😍
Happy Holidays guys! Looking forward to your adventures in 2022. FYI Colorado is a great place to live when you get off the road! As you know it has tons of hiking, great food and fun people. Plus it’s very dog friendly 👍🐾❤️👏😄😄 and it’s not super far from your family in Texas 👍
We know we would love living there! The closeness to family is definitely a pro!
"I thought I was cheating but YOU were REALLY cheating!" ;) ... Love it. Durango area, Silverton, Ouray 10/10 ;))))
Hahaha it’s so hard not to cheat when you have to pick between so many things 😂
Merry Christmas Guys!!!
Isn't it just to hard to pick the best of this big beautiful country!!!!! They're all good in their differences! You guys are killin it!
May your best day in 2021 be your worst day in 2022!!! Onward and upward I say!
Merry Christmas Greg! It was very hard to pick, so much diverse scenery in the US! And we love "may your best day in 2021 be your worst day in 2022!"
FLY HIGH DULUTH! 😉 So glad to see Duluth on a list because that's where we're moving soon (refuge city, baby). I took so many notes from this video, so excited to try so many of these places! Happy holidays and can't wait to see where 2022 takes you, guys ❤
Big congrats on your move! We really enjoyed Duluth, even on a foggy day!
I enjoyed this year traveling with the 3 of you. Such a big and diverse country we live in. Making the choices would be difficult. So many good places and food items to pick from. Laughed all the way through the blooper reel. Enjoy your downtime., will be looking forward to spending time with you in the new year!! 👍👍🎅🙋♂️
Thank you for traveling with us this year! It was TOUGH to decide, we were so thankful to visit so many places that made it hard to choose.
100% Agree that MN was a HUGE surprise for us as well. We loved Split Rock State Park, High Falls the town of Duluth was AWESOME. We found this cute little art store that was downtown that was amazing, the people were so nice. And I agree Its the closest thing that I have found to the shoreline of the PNW and the Oregon area by Brookings and Northern California. Can not wait so see the places you go next year, was also stoked to see the Wind River Range as a top pick as its one of our stops next year!
So glad you enjoyed Minnesota too! It was so gorgeous up there and I still cannot believe it’s just on a lake and not the ocean lol!
I don't comment on much of your videos but I thoroughly enjoyed your travels and how you present them. This was no exception. Love the idea for this one and how you kept them secret from each other. My wife loves Acadia as well. We're hoping to go back next fall for our second visit up there. We also are planning out a Banff/Jasper/Rocky Mtn Canada trip for my photography. Excited to hear about your future 2022 plans.
Thank you so much for watching! We are glad you enjoyed it, as two people who spend 24/7 together, keeping this a secret was hard haha! Your plans for next year sound amazing!
DANG! You two did a heck of a review! I was surprised at some of your picks but glad. If you liked the Durango train, you will love Cumbres-Toltec. ....plug for NM. Maybe you could get into visiting some hot springs too! Dan in T or C
We love hot springs! Definitely want to visit more and would love to ride more trains!
Hey you two! Hope you both had a great Christmas and enjoyed much needed time with family!
My wife and I absolutely love your vlogs! Makes us remember the good ole days when we were younger and full of energy and action packed days!
But really - “Don’t be a doofus, hike the Wampahoofus”! lol lol - seriously, it’s time to get back on the road like really soon! We miss seeing you two so much already!
Actually, everyone needs time to rest, share time with loved ones, and just regroup. Until you’re back on the road again, may God bless you both and know your loved by many! Safe travels!
Thank you so much for watching Larry! We will be back on the road in a couple weeks or so, it has been very busy over here catching up on work and seeing family and friends. But lots of good stuff planned for 2022!
Love the channel! It reminds me so much of my wife and I's trips. We found ourselves this past year in Wyoming, South Dekota, North Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan, and Colorado. Fun to relive some of the adventure through your videos. Keep up the good work! Our goal this next year is to visit the Sawtooth Mountains!
Thank you so much for watching! We ❤️the Sawtooths!
I used a BUNCH of info from your CO & Western UT videos to plan my trip. Thanks so much!! It was great watching this video to hear what your favorites were, and to reminisce about my trip. I agree with you about the mountains vs desert. I LOVE the mountains too and I miss them!
The mountains are the best! We miss them so much while being home and can't wait to get back to them soon-ish!
To all my fellow subscribers, Adam, Kathryn & Kona Enjoy the Holiday Season and Happy New Year. The baby goats were fun to see in 21
We loved those baby goats! Happy holidays William!
Great Recap. I think I'm heading to Colorado next week. I need to see mountains and snow.
Have you ever been to the Morton Salt Mine in Saline, Texas? They used to offer a tour that was pretty cool, I don't know if they still do.
I didn't know Katheryn had quit her job! #coolbeans
Yay! That will be a lot of fun! As we mostly have worn tank tops and shorts here in Texas, we are itching for mountains and snow. We haven't been there, but that sounds cool!
“Don’t be a doofus” 😂
Lol whenever you guys visit Milwaukee, you HAVE to get their burgers and frozen custard with hot fudge. Lol forgot about your cheese adventures!!!
Burgers + custard sounds right up our alley!
Thanks for all the wonderful videos in 20211 They all were so much fun. Thanks for taking us along to see the beauty and diversity of our wonderful country. Enjoy your downtime. Have a wonderful holiday season and health, happiness and many adventures in 2022!!!
Thank you for following along Chris! Have a wonderful holiday!
It is difficult to pick a favorite video of yours....all of them are so AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! (The bloopers were so cute!) Kathryn, you look like you feel better from your fall...yay! Merry Christmas!
I am thankfully doing much better! And finally bandaid free!
Glad that you got to experience Mn. I came for a 2 week visit in 89 from Tx and never went back. We have 2 weeks at end of April to spend in Utah. Thanks for your input on what to see. Enjoy your lives and do as much as possible while you're young. Many hikes not able to do from injuries sustained over the years.
TX to MN is a big move! Especially those winters! Have a blast in Utah 😃
Really enjoyed your channel this fall! Bookmarked a lot of future hikes! If you do the west coast at all next year, I recommend Central Oregon! Sisters and Bend are both awesome for both outdoors and food/coffee, and Crater Lake National Park is a few hours south of there. Don't know if you ever explored there when you lived in WA.
We love central Oregon! Definitely super eager to get back there! 😍
You guys saw so many places and ate so many delicious foods! Been so fun to watch you both grow from working full time while running your channel when you could, to now being full time RUclipsrs. You both put in so much work to your channel and website. You three (of course, have to include Kona!) seriously make the best videos!! Here’s to 1,000,000 followers in 2022! 👏❤️🤩
Thank you so much for all of your support! It was a wild year and lots of changes, but all for the better and we cannot wait for 2022! Probably not 1,000,000, but hopefully take off a 0 and we can make that happen 😜
Y'all this was so fun to watch!!!!! I love the top picks you did! The bloopers had me and my husband laughing out loud!!!!😄😄😄 Rock on A & K!!! Come back to St. Louis and we will meet you at Clementines! Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you! Thank you again for your wonderful videos and input your hard work and fun show through and through!!!
Rock on! And we love us some Clementines! That would’ve easily been top ice cream for 2020!
Adam, I can identify with your fry bread taco. We were traveling to Oregon from Mississippi and were on the beautiful highway from Bernidito (sp),New Mexico to Farmington, NM and there was nothing for more than 100 miles, but this very small town with a tiny little cafe. I had a taco that was made with fry bread and it was astounding. I was blown away and stopped there again on our way home. It was the best taco I have ever had, before or since.
It’s really good right?!
That was one AWESOME recap!!! You folks totally changed my mind about New England. Can't wait to see your 2022 plans! This is by far my favorite YT channel!! Your vlogging style is so entertaining. Have a blessed end to 2021 & an even more epic 2022!
Thank you so much for the kind words! New England is a really gorgeous place 😍😍
aww loved this you guys!!! My bucket list keeps getting longer. The bloopers reel had me crying laughing. Yeah for Acadia!! (says the Mainer) Looking forward to the next adventures!
So happy you enjoyed it! We know all about that bucket list length feeling haha!
I really enjoyed your last video of the year as much as I enjoyed all your videos from 2021. My pick for top destination is Utah. I have never been there but it is on my bucket list.You showed how beautiful it is and I want to see it. Your channel is my favorite among the many that I watch. Your photography is top notch and you show so many interesting points in your videos. The places you go to eat are interesting also. Happy Holidays and I will look forward to your 2022 adventures.
Utah is amazing, it's like another planet! We are very grateful for your support and to have you follow along, thank you so much for the kind words!
You've gotten me through many workdays with your amazing content! Some of your past videos inspired a few trips (Montana & Idaho) I hope to get to the Wind River Range & San Juan now too! I hope you guys have a wonderful holiday! I can't wait to see what's next! ✌
Woo! Those are some of our favorite places ever!
Margaret and i just watched this one. Enjoyed it as we do all the others. Looking forward to seeing what you both and Kona get up to in 2022. Dont forget to get Kona a Lobster roll for Christmas hehe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.. Keith and Margaret.
Thank you for watching! We are super excited for 2022! Kona will get lots of treats, we promise 😃
I could watch you two clowns doing bloopers on a loop for an hour! LOL, thanks for sharing the list. I shared the video with our geocaching community since many combine geocaching with travel, hiking, etc. Looking forward to 2022!!
Thank you so much for sharing Gary! And it was fun to finally put a little blooper real together 😜
First video I’ve seen and my wife and I love it. We will be exploring the western part of US the next 2 years so love seeing this and will be backtracking your videos.
Thanks so much for watching! This is a lot different than our normal videos, but we are glad you enjoyed it!
Really really enjoyed this! We went out and got our favorite Chinese takeout just so we could sit and celebrate this special occasion video. So enjoyed it! (The food and video ) You two are both wonderful souls. Thanks for the laughs and good times. 😀 Jeff n Michele RI
Ooo that sounds delicious! So glad you enjoyed the video and your dinner! 😋
I'm so excited to hear that you are headed to Alaska! I've been several times but have never driven. Headed up to Fairbanks next month for the World Ice Carving Championships and will probably freeze to death. Love your channel!
Wow that’s going to be awesome! We definitely would love to visit in the winter, but not in the van haha. Brisket wasn’t made for the super cold
I loved this recap and to hear your favorite places! I loved all the bloopers at the end. I found you when looking up videos for the Cumberland Gap Historic National Park and I am still trying to watch all your videos, they are a treat when I am walking the treadmill in the morning. I can not wait to hear about all your 2022 adventures! Happy Exploring!
Cumberland Gap would've probably been in the running for best surprise in 2020! Thank you for watching!
Love this recap. And love your guides. Your South Dakota guide for Badlands + Black Hills added so much to our travels there this year and I’ve passed it along to friends a number of times too. I’d love to see a guide detailing your fall foliage northeast itinerary (or a suggested itinerary). Happy holidays!
We are finally getting caught up on guides and just have New England ones left, so stay tuned! We are glad that you enjoy them, we really love writing them! Thanks a bunch for sharing them too ❤️
Thanks for your travels. I will continue to travel with you. I enjoy your hiking especially at places I have been since I don't hike due to my age(69). I enjoy seeing what I missed.
We can’t wait to hike more. Lots of epic scenery coming soon! Thanks, Tom!
Thank you very much. I love watching you Videos. They allways give me a got feeling. They just give me energy and spark my want for adventure. I lived in Maryland and Virginia for about three years more then ten years ago. I loved it. Hope one day we get to ship our Van to the States. I especially loved telluride too. Greetings from Germany. Bettina
We are so happy to hear that! We hope to make it your way eventually as well!
Awesome last video of the year! It was so much fun to see the last eight months recap… So looking forward to hear what you guys are going to be doing in 2022… Please please please keep the awesome adventures coming our way… My family absolutely loves watching your videos every single week… We often talk about them throughout the week as well… Thank you for keeping us entertained!!!!
Soooo many awesome adventures planned for 2022, we are so pumped for the year! Thank you so much for following along 🙌🏼
I’ve so enjoyed watching all of your videos this year. We chose Telluride for our summer vacation/road trip this summer after watching your videos. It was amazing! Can’t wait to see where 2022 takes you!
Ruth ( from Austin!)
Yay! So glad you enjoyed Telluride! 🙌🏼 Hope you’re enjoying this Austin winter 😉
My husband and I love watching your videos! You helped plan our honeymoon that we took out west this past September 😂. Happy New Year and we look forward to watching you in 2022!
Congrats on your marriage! Thank you so much for watching!
I loved the San Juan mountains also. They almost pass my love of the Tetons but not quite. I love the blooper part with your air guitar (tripod)😁. Hope you have a great vacation. Happy holidays and will be looking for your new vlogs in January.
The tripod guitar is our favorite 😂 Happy holidays!
Grabbing some snacks. Can’t wait to watch your top faves! Love your van decor, cute! Kathryn, hope you’re healing up quick!!
Thank you! We had fun decorating it!
Great video. Have enjoyed your 2021 travels and am looking forward to 2022. Thanks Kathryn, Adam and Kona. CYA next year!!

I loved this one! So creative with the hot chocolate! It was so fun hearing your favorites and I LOVED the bloopers at the end…I was smiling the whole time while watching them! Thanks for a great year of beautiful places! I can’t wait to see all your travels in 2022 and hope to join you on at least one!
We sure hope you can join us too! ❤️
You both covered a lot of ground this past year and I enjoyed the videos I did watch, so I will have to catch the ones from Colorado, Utah, and Minnesota. I really like that you show us the different foods, scenery, and the towns that you visit, you do a great job editing and with your videos. Enjoy your time off and Happy Holiday to you both!
Those were some of our favorites! We hope you have an awesome holiday!
I found your channel when you were in southern Utah, my favorite part of the country. I've watched every video since with my 5 year old, to help get him excited to travel and hike. Thanks for keeping the channel kid friendly. You guys are super fun to watch. I can't wait to see where you travel to next year!
That is awesome! He is going to be an adventurer in no time!
