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! 😉

Great recap of your 2022 travels-makes me realize I have some catching up to do on your 2022 stops.
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!
As someone who lives in the Central California area (Lompoc) I am honored you love the area so much! May your travels lead you back to enjoy more! I myself was very impressed by your 2022 travels and I hope to go back someday to Oklahoma and visit some of the places you explored!

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!

@@AdventuresofAplusK Yes! Many people have food sensitivities no matter what kind of meals they are. Unfortunately, many vegetarian/vegan selections offered in restaurants and stores today are highly processed and include chemicals to make them palatable.

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!

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.

Thank-you for rekindling beautiful memories. Looking forward to your future journeys.
Oh my the places we have enjoyed thanks to all your hard work. But the best part is the fun and joy that you guys experience and shine forth for all of us to see. Thanks so much for being who you are and for all you do and allowing us to share so much with you. Many blessings for peace, love, fun, and adventure in 2023.

We're lucky and thankful we get to do what we do and are able to share it with others! Thanks so much! Happy New Year!
Just finished watching all 66 episodes of 2022 (spread over a couple weeks) and enjoyed them all. What an undertaking to spend the whole year on a single trip. All were wonderful but the trip to the Arctic Ocean was something else! Really appreciate all the hiking you do and scenery you show.

Thank you so much for watching, Pete! The Arctic Ocean is definitely a trip we'll never forget!
Yay for tanking in Nebraska! Nice to hear you also ate a Runza. Iowa: I like biking the Wabash trail in autumn. It’s like a tunnel of beautiful leaves. Or in spring so many birds singing different songs. It’s 56 miles rails to trails.

Nebraska was so much fun! We'll be in Iowa for the big bike event and won't have our van so we'll be limited on what we can do. But that does look nice!
Thanks for sharing 2022 with us. You certainly had a lot of amazing experiences, great food, and silly dances. Wishing you a happy 2023!

We had some clam chowder in Pismo Beach because of your video. It was awesome and we enjoyed following some tips you gave in the video. We really enjoyed that town while visiting our granddaughter who is in college in SLO.

It was a great year for you guys, can't wait to see 2023! When you come to CT make sure you try Pepe's and Sallys pizza and let us know which you prefer. It's a hotly debated topic.

When you go back to Alaska and visit Valdez, some great grayling or dolly varden, think same fish but different names in the rivers around there. Worked for NOAA on research ships up there for 3 years. Worst summer I only got 1 halibut (212 lbs), chief steward got a 350 lb one 😤 and 34 salmon smallest was 14 lbs. I really want to go back up there. Thank you for sharing your story! Have a great 2023

We can't wait to get back to Vancouver Island! It's truly one of our favorite places ever! Happy New Year and thanks for watching!
the Waterfire festival in Providence, RI, is fun! And although it's in Pennsylvania (just on the other side of NJ), New Hope and the Bucks County area is really nice. The goat hill overlook (outside Lambertville, NJ) walk or hike, depending on what you do, provides a great view of the Delaware River and New Hope from the NJ side.
