I camped closer to the trees, since I don't have 4WD. A campground website I use said there was a USFS CG there, so that's why I went. No campground, but beautiful location. Pretty hairy road in/out, though! Another great video from ya'll. Safe travels.

    Hey guys! That opening sequence with the river was wonderful. Loved the shot with the big rock and reflection. The clarity of the water is just gorgeous. That looks like a great camping spot. I love places like that. So very nice of you guys to pick up garbage. So hard to understand why one would leave garbage. Absolutely loved the salamander underwater shots. Very cool. Super interesting. Had to smile at the saw and wood cutting...I do the same thing. Takes a while but it is rewarding. Excellent fire spot. Omg, actually storm sound effects...that was perfect! What a relaxing spot. The water activities look amazing. So you asked me if I had any suggestions for what you can do for your videos. I have two ideas....maybe more interaction between the two of you, and maybe quite music in the beginning and end and then more upbeat music in the middle. Kind of like creating a mood/emotion "story". So one can connect emotionally as well as visually. Wow, the photos stills at the end, just stunning. Great job guys!!!! Xo

We can’t understand why people enjoy an area and then trash it🤷‍♀️ we don’t mind picking up trash... and you will continue to see us doing this in the future as we want to encourage this behavior! In fact while we were picking up trash we noticed other people started to clean up as well! Thank you for the video suggestions! I really like your suggestions about the music 🎶. It will be a few weeks before you notice any change. You are correct there needs to be more interactive between us... I think it comes from us still being a wee bit nervous on camera. Keep the suggestions coming! We are loving your advice!

    Oh the camp fires you guys have. Just love them. I have a fire starter hack for you. Take paper egg carton and fill wells with melted wax and dryer lint. One 'egg' will burn 15 minutes ish starting most fires. They are especially nice at the end of the night when you'd like a little flame but don't want to put more wood on the fire or when wood it damp and hard to start. Hiking in the rain is one of my favorite things to do. The forrest seems to give up some of it's secrets.

    • @oneadVANtureatatime

I definitely want to try it and love learning new ways to light fires. Hiking in the rain is special! We love the way the colors of green show so vividly. I might have to use that wording about the forest giving up secrets during a hike in the rain. It's so true!!

      There was one location that had loose gravel that we avoided. I usually get out and check if it looks bad. While we were there a van decided to drive in the obvious loose gravel and did get stuck. In addition we carry Traction Boards that work wonders in sand, snow, mud, and gravel. They cost 50 to 100 dollars for a set and can easily save you a 500 tow truck bill the first time you use them.

Like many true outdoor enthusiasts, I used to spend countless hours trying to find places like this, either exploring the old fashioned way, or on google earth (pre-maps version). ALL of those places are overrun now or trashed now from idiots with no respect and just there for their Intstagram pose, just like the well-known places, because of content creator's exploitation. Except for maybe a handful.
    But then I saw your golden..... Damn yous....That's my soft spot. That golden deserves whatever life you are providing for them. Even if it's at the cost of this place. I guess I'll have to save my pages long rant for some other CC😁

    Looks like you would have mentioned in the video what was wrong with the van to put in the shop, my van has been in the shop for a month now for the axle, not sure if they are giving me the runaround because I used my mopar extended warranty coverage

      So far we have only paid for one night in two years but that time was worth it. They had natural hot springs in their campground. 😀😀😀
