    Discovered you two earlier this month, & have been binging ever since! It's like re-living my marriage: he was 5 years older, we had a dog, lived on the Kenai Peninsula for awhile, then the high desert of CA, had a camper & traveled the country to Maine & back. After 10 years of marriage & me turning 30, we figured it was time for kids, so we had 3 in 4 years! It's the most personal decision ever, & those 1st 10 years of travel were great -- however, now looking back from almost 70, the most spectacular destination was ... parenthood. And, p.s., there's no "perfect time". Looking forward to more of your adventures, whatever they may be! 😉

    Wonderful video recapping an amazing year. I have shared this with you all before but you are so dear to me and help me make adventures happen for my family. I am partially blind and planning trips can be a challenge but you and your videos allow me to to so much much easier. This year we followed yout footsteps and visited. Redwood, Lassen Volcanic, Pinnacles, Channel Islands, Joshua Tree and Dearh Valley National Parks. I used each of your videos to get a sense of the park and where to go. All were amazing. One highlight to share would be our time at Channel Islands. We hiked from the docks to Potato Harbor Overlook and back (roughly 7 miles) in the rain. No problem for my wife and I really but our 9 and 7 year old daughters were amazingly strong for 4.5 of the miles were done in the mud of Dyatamacious Earth. This mud would stick to your shoe about a half inch and collect another half inch with every step. Unitil you had like 6ish inches collected. It was like hiking in platform shoes. It would get too heaby for itself and then fall off. It was like hiking with ankle weights. Wet, cold and an unvelievable effort to move I expected the girls to breakdown, give up, ask us to carry them aback and swear to never hike again. Yet they never complained, perveviered and left as my heroes

    Wow that comment makes our week! We're so glad we could play any part in helping you and your family travel and experience this wonderful world! That hiking experience with all the mud sounds pretty brutal and Kathryn and I would probably get annoyed too so we give props to your daughters for being so tough and taking it in stride! That stuff is all part of the adventure and it sounds like they welcome that. We're so thankful and lucky we get to do what we do and share it with others and it makes even better that it can be a resource for someone and provide enjoyment. Thank you for your kind comment! Happy New Year to you and yours!

    We have been watching your channel for the last few years and enjoying it greatly. It's obvious you put much time and effort into the making of each episode and it is appreciated! We prefer quality over quantity but you are able to do both, packing in a lot of wonderful content. It is nice to see the local cuisine included in the places you visit and would love to see you find an occasional vegetarian/vegan restaurant. We are hoping to visit some of the places you show on your channel and because we are vegetarians it would be nice to know about good places we can eat. Thanks for the awesome videos! Looking forward to what you have in store for 2023! Stay well. Love you both!

Unfortunately, many vegetarian/vegan selections offered in restaurants and stores today are highly processed and include chemicals to make them palatable. But you never know, you might come across a place that serves delicious plant based foods as nature intended. We will keep watching to see if you do. Happy Travels!😀

    When you visit NJ, its super underrated. Obviously the food will be a big part of your visit but there is some unique natural things as well. 1. Franklin and Sterling Mineral Museums to largest variety and concentration of fluorescent minerals in the world, you can also collect them. 2. Hike up Mt. Tammy at Delaware Water Gap. 3. As you drive to NJ, you'll likely pass by Rickett's Glen State park in Pennslyvania, one of the largest collection of waterfalls in the entire northeast, you can double up on the waterfalls with Bushkill falls 4. If you go up the south then a Jersey shore town like Avalon with its soft white sand 5. Appalachian trail near Vernon NJ 6. Palisides Hikes near the George Washington Bridge with Epic views of NYC Now for food 1. Pizza: Papa's Tomato Pies and De Lorenzo Tomato Pies, which are both rated as top 50 pizzerias in the world, and within 10 mins driving of each other, in addition to these you have several others listed on top 50 and top 100 lists including santillo 2. Bagels: essentially any place 3. Pastrami from Harold's Deli for the largest sandwiches you'll ever see (one sandwich can feed a family) 4. Indian Food, but something called Chaat (snacks in hindi), easiest to find in place like Edison 5. Korean Food: one of the largest concentrations of Korean Americans is in NJ, go to one of the grill/hot pot places Have fun.

    Our family had a blast watching your videos this year! Thank you so much for the fun and informative way you guys put these videos together. We are familiar with Iowa and would love to give you some suggestions!! 1. Iowa is famous for their SUPER delicious Maid-Rites. Marshalltown's "Taylor's Maid-Rite" has the best ones (truly, no others compare), and we highly recommend going in and eating at the counter. It's a really fun experience to enjoy with the local farmers! We can't ever just eat one Maid-Rite though, so be prepared! :) Their Rootbeer shakes are also amazing (as I'm sure all of the other flavors are too!). 2. Up in Mason City, there is a great museum called "Music Man Square" honoring the film "The Music Man." They have a charming old-fashioned town inside with a super yummy old-fashioned ice cream parlor! The museum is adjacent to the home where Merdith Wilson (the author of "The Music Man") grew up. Spoiler Alert: Mason City is the real "River City!" 3. If you find yourself in Des Moines, a tour of "Better Homes and Gardens" would definitely be worth it! 4. We drove through Ledges State Park, in Madrid, Iowa, and it is beautiful! We enjoyed getting to drive through some of the little streams and then getting out to explore for some hiking! It's a unique and fun experience. Hope you guys have a blast there!! We love it!

I couldn't believe that you didn't ride the slides in The Gathering Place, even if it was crowded with kids, We love all ages to enjoy the park! Next time you MUST go to DoubleShot Coffee, the absolute best!!! Thank you for loving our state so much, the US is a beautiful place, every state has something to offer. I've run the Big Sur marathon and Lost Dutchman, starts in the Superstition Mountains and totally agree they are beautiful places. I'll be in Warwick,RI (already got a tip from a poster what to do in Providence) and Augusta, NJ in May, maybe we will cross paths? I vacationed in PEI as a teenager, loved Cavendish Beach. Happy travels!

    Thank for the journey summary; i followed you for all of the journey. So many amazing places to pick from; I currently work about 3 blocks from Coneflower Creamery in Omaha .. so appreciate the added incentive to visit it having your great approval. I also lived in Eugene, Oregon for a few years and made frequent trips to Bend in the summer .. and i agree of its livability (though it seems more metropolitan in my recent visits) lots of memories in Drake park and outdoor places near there on many hiking adventures, and also, before that, a former resident of Austin for 15 years (UT Masters grad) .. always like to hear about your Texas connections as well. thank you again, esp. the Alaska scenes, and looking forward to your next chapter(s)!

    "Every state has cool stuff!" - Kathryn. YES!!! And I'm so glad you shared your 2022 recap that highlights lots of that cool stuff - thank you!!! Your travels here inspired me to visit the Oregon coast, Redding, Lassen NP, Pinnacles NP, Channel Islands NP, and Dutch Bros on my summer vacation this year!!! Had to reroute our planned stay in Bend to Grant's Pass (really wanted to visit the last Blockbuster there, too!) and couldn't get to Channel Islands either, which I do plan to visit in the future! I visited Death Valley NP a few years ago and also fell in love with its unique beauty. So, do you happen to have a tally on how many miles you hiked in 2022 (actual planned hikes)? That's gotta be a BIG number, too!! Thanks again for inspiring us and sharing your adventures. Loved the Star Wars lightsaber sound effects in your blooper reel. For 2023, you've got to check out Field of Dreams in Iowa and Cape May in New Jersey. Both touristy, but fun to experience. Happy New Year and Safe Travels to you in 2023!!!

    That is so awesome to hear! We're glad we could inspire you to check out some gorgeous places! We thought the lightsaber sounds matched up pretty well too! 😂 According to our AllTrails we hiked 443 miles this year! 😱 that's crazy! And we didn't even track EVERY SINGLE hike! Plus all the walking we do just for every day stuff. We're hoping to see the Field of Dreams stuff, but we're going for a big event there 🚲 and won't have our own vehicle and for NJ, we're not sure if we'll do the coast yet, but Cape May is definitely one of the most recommended spots so far! Thanks, as always!

We passed a coffee shop called Story & Soil - don’t know anything about it beyond the name, but was intrigued. Samuel Clemens apparently hailed from there (who knew?).
