    That has got to be the best way to cover distance and also pick and choose the odd and unusual places to check out along the way. It is obvious that you guys like hanging out and enjoy doing what you do. There is a bit of everything in your episodes that make each of them unique. Or should I say odd? I have no idea where you will stop next and that's awesome.

    Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your van life test and Death Valley is a great place to try it out (not in Summer of course). Glad the kitties were on the trip with you (our cat would never go for such a journey). Not sure if you want to do more such travels but I think it would bring a different perspective to the places you take us even if it’s only once in a while. It is certainly a very different way to travel but really allows you to include additional aspects of an adventure and how you two interact with the place you are showing. Plus, we get to see you two and the kitties! Big thumbs up from me if you are wanting votes from viewers.

Until viewing this video I had no idea that Drew is bilingual, but he does use another language (or at least another dialect) when addressing the cats. Also totally cool. 🤠

    Van Life, woo-hoo! Next stop Quartzsite? Looks like you camped at Wildrose the first night? The clip of you driving at night down the bumpy road, not really sure of where you were reminds me of the time I was camping at Mahogany Flat (at the end of the road several miles past the kilns). A woman drove up in a rented car and asked me, "Is this the way to Furnace Creek?" I pointed to the valley 9,000 feet below and replied, "No, it's down there."
