Love the hat. I'm a hat guy. I have a Tilley and it is one of my favorites. My wife rolled her eyes and sighed when I said. Look look he's gonna buy a Tilley!!
Blue hat, got my adventure hat!!!
Fun video. Blessings
Ian may be out there, but where he is at is a better place than much of the world.
OK now I need to put Estes Park on my bucket list! Love the history lesson Todd. So happy you found your adventure hat! I got Rick an adventure hat as well now the two of you can go swat crabs together, it’ll be a big adventure LOL safe travels and God bless
The Shinning is one of my favorite King books

Love my Tilley hat! Have had it for over ten years. Lifetime warranty and washable..
Makes me wonder why I want to wander when I live here full time. Maybe I need to rent out our mountain home while we travel! Beautiful video! Thank you! I still want to wander.
You must go forest bathing! It sounds interesting!!🛁

Love Estes Park!
Estes Park & Rocky Mountain National Park is my happy place!! I saw you are doing a huddle next summer in Colorado. Hopefully I have gotten my husband retired and we have finally bought our RV by then!
Estes Park is a cool place. My grandmother's sister and brother-in-law owned and operated a string of cabins and a trading post on the outskirts of Estes Park in the 50s and 60s. The elk are part and parcel of Estes Park. Ian is a go getter. Fun adventure...love the hat.

You're right, I've never heard of "Forest Bathing" before, but I understand where he's coming from. Gotta stop and smell the roses... As an artist/creative person, I'm always doing this. Todd, your "History Time" reminds me of a game I used to play (Balderdash), where we would all make up some great definitions for words most of us had never heard before. It was hilarious! I could so BEAT you at a game of Balderdash - haha! I've done all the things! Safe travels you two (from the Poconos this week)! Next week, on to Cape Cod! :-D

Great hat, I picked mine up in Sedona about 15 years ago. Keep the content rolling.
Loved the Forest Bathing segment! And, of course, the “history” lesson was VERY educational!😂
History time with Todd. Is my favorite.Tilly’s rock we bought ours while visiting Hawaii (totally helps with blocking sunburns).
Good grief. How did I miss you both. Working here in Estes Park(campground) and cel service is limited. Great video. So MUCH to see and take in. Yet I missed you both. Will be sure to look up Ian. Thanks a ton! Safe travels.
Doing all the things. Finally caught up & I can’t wait for the next one. 👻🌲🛁🏞😎
I was trying to figure out how you were holding the camera. That Insat360 and invisible selfie stick is cool. Thanks for sharing in the description. 😀❤️👍🏻
You should look up Ecotherapy, I enjoyed the Forest Bathing part of this video. Nature heals.
Cool video! Got to love Colorado
Hi guys, thanks for the ideas on things to do. We will definitely try to get to alberta falls and the Stanley, safe travels guys😁
Fun fact. There are two types of hauntings. The first and most well known type is when a person dies and perhaps does not cross over, or at least revisits earth. The second type does not require someone dying. That is a psychic impression of an emotional event or a strong personality. The psychic impression can be on a place or thing.
Lived in CO 2008-2011... loved EP. so great see again. Good restaurant then was Poppy’s... yummy Pizza and burgers.
Great video
Love "history with Todd" and I think I need some forest bathing in my life.
I have actually heard of forest bathing😛.

Beautiful area. We hiked Bear Lake 3 weeks ago. The lake was completely frozen and snow covered and the trail was snow and ice covered. The park was crazy busy.

Love this video. We live in Fort Collins and this is our back yard. I do a lot of hiking in the park. Our son was on the film crew during the filming of “The Shinning” at the Stanley. He was fresh out of film school back then. I love your videos. Never heard of forest bathing btw. ❤️❤️
Oh you gotta speak up - wow! you are in control dude.
One year ago yesterday the wife and I were in Custer state park and our next location was Estes park . Due to the riots and our kids left in Atlanta we had to return home . That’s something now I see you guys there .. that’s wild . Great video !!

Estes Park is on our bucket list for the elk rut photography
We spent a lot of time in Estes Park last year. Love that area! Get some Elk burgers!
I love Estes Park! We were there during elk rutting season. The elk usually ended up on the golf course fairways late in the day. It was amazing to watch the male establish his harem. 😂🤣 The elk pretty much own Estes Park. They are everywhere. By the way, we rode Trail Ridge Rd on our Goldwing. It was fun but scary!
