Another great video! After being fortunate enough to retire a little early, my wife and I found that your trips, hikes and information provided us with a new love of exploring and visiting our National Parks. A year ago, you provided me through your reply, the information needed to tour the Red Mountains in Ouray Colorado. At that time I asked for the same tour that Randy of Americas Parks had taken. They provided me with a great trip! So much so, that I went back again this year for another Jeep trip! This time taking two more family members along! Goes to show that your videos, your work, and your commitment to helping families absolutely change lives. Whatever your future brings, I pray God blesses you and your family with good health in the days ahead. Thank you so much for literally changing my life.

Wow, Bill! Those words from your genuine heart really made my day! I am so encouraged to learn how the Lord has used the channel to bless your life and the lives of your loved ones!

Randy, I’ve loved your videos for years and they have encouraged me to get out and enjoy the great outdoors more. Recently I’ve stumbled upon your church channel and listened to you preach. It was a great blessing to me. I pray the Lord would continue to use you mightily for His glory and His kingdom! You have a gift with teaching complex truth in practical easy to understand ways. Hope to see you on the trails! God bless. -Max from the Pacific Northwest

I Love food! I can not imagine life with out food. Ice cream is my favorite. Do you suppose in our new life we will still need to eat to have nourishment and for the enjoyment of time? Fish was the food the disciples gave to a post-resurrection, Jesus when he asked for something to eat. Randy is awesome, I love your smile and brightness of life you bring.

Appreciate the insight, Robert. Was fascinated by the VT trail system and did some more research on it when I returned. Also learned the LT is the oldest long-distance trail in the United States. Really cool!

another great day in VT! bees in the store, that is a new one. Some day you may just plain have too many comments to answer but the little heart button that says you saw it is a good substitute/ most people don't leave comments so for now we all get the bonus of conversing with you. Those rock piles are getting out of hand in a lot of places/ i get it, the "thing to do" at certain places but ultimately it is graffiti. "i was here" /. Death Valley people do that at the end of mosaic canyon, the Rangers and others knock them down because it is taking you out of nature to see all those man made piles. Awesome views, great hike and times in the woods thanks for taking us with you

The mountains of Vermont are so lovely in the autumn. We have journeyed through a few times and always been enthralled. We did a walk on Mount Mansfield (largely because we live a few miles from Mansfield in England) and were rewarded with stunning views. Your walks are always interesting to follow and on this occasion a bit more accessible to us oldies.
