Memorial Day Weekend is the WORST Time to Travel ... but we made the most of it
Gary and I have toured Southern Utah and now we're on our way home, or at least we're TRYING to get home.
Gary is riding his trusty Vstrom 650, and I'm on a borrowed 2022 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT ES, courtesy of Honda America.
Thanks to Revzilla for sponsoring this series.

Absolutely!
Thank You Miss Amanda, On a family camping trip from our home in Montana to Three Rivers, Idaho my son's grandmother was upset because he wouldn't pick her flowers, but he picked up trash during one of their walks. I sent him out on their next walk with Tobacco so he could make an offering and pick her flowers that she liked. Wakan Tonka gave us a Beautiful planet we should be more Respectful of her! You are so right about the retelling of every trip, I rarely share the endless miles of beautiful scenery and great roads of little traffic. The stories of getting off to suit up in rain gear also isn't as much fun as when you stop 15 minutes later to take it off again. Thank You for sharing, it is greatly appreciated! With Love and Respect, You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
You kids! Stop fooling around at the stop light like that. It’s all fun and games until somebody’s carrot gets broke. 😂
Your unsinkable attitude is so great! Love it! Thanks for taking us along on the adventure!
Excellent video. You are an excellent ambassador for motorcycle camping.

I've been there with bad campsites, but also had amazing hosts, who raked the sites, and put wildflowers/vase in the pit toilets.... 30 miles North of Klamath Falls off 5 ... who guilted me into picking up trash in the woods at the campground

I love all your videos and adventures, but really love your adventures with “Brother Gary”❤❤
I've said this before. I think you have the best times when you have your brother around. Family,... it's the most important thing.
Tomorrow I will be cooking all day in preparation for Thanksgiving... but that doesn't mean a perfect campsite from Memorial Day weekend is not appreciated. Thank you both!

I just went through much of the area you covered in this video in November of 2023. I plan on going back with my dual sport bike and exploring much of that beautiful region. I got to Butch Cassidy's childhood home on a 22 degree sun up and it was a beautiful valley. I love that part of our world.
Beautiful ride love the mountains. Great adventure. Thanks for sharing

Great hat, Amanda. You have it creased the way i like mine. Really cool Stetson harness too. I want one so I can take a hard felt one instead of the crushable wool one I use now. I also bought an AT-960 helmet. Larry in Fort Worth, but now a 2021 Africa Twin owner!
SO happy to see how your Patron list grows longer each video!

Seguo sempre i tuoi video, proprio belli. Scrivo dall'europa (Italia del nord). Da sempre sogno gli Stati Uniti....😊, forse sono nato nel posto sbagliato. Posso godermi solamente le immagini dei tuoi video, perche' il mio inglese e' insufficiente e non capisco molto. Mi dispiace.
So, between you and brother which one of you is Butch Cassidy and which one is the Sundance Kid? Steel horse sister & brother outlaws! 🏍🤠🏍🤠

Amanda, there is a problem with YT I believe. I subscribed to both you and Shadetree (your camping buddy) months ago, and now when I check today (Thanksgiving)I was no longer subscribed to either of you. Maybe it's unique to me, but unfair to You Tubers😢

No need 🤷
Try sleeping with your butane canister and keep it warm. They’re just like a lighter or batteries keep them warm and the results will surprise you.

Since I occasionally do camp in bear country, no lol I will not be sleeping with anything that is involved in the food making process that could have the potential to retain any kind of food smell 👍
Wish i had a sister like you.🏍️
