Love this video!! Can’t wait to see it all in person!! Thanks for the tips!!!😍
It’s so unreal! I can’t wait for you guys to see it either! 😜
Stop smacking your lips 👄 so annoying
Your approach to this topic is well-executed.
Really enjoyed this video. You're living an incredible life and sharing these beautiful views is a fantastic benefit for everyone. Your camera skills are fantastic now as are your video editing and added captions. Both of you are doing great vocal descriptions are clear and well detailed Ashley. Michael.... ditto.
Thank you so much! We love making the videos and do hope they are helpful for people who would love to travel to these locations and/or just entertaining! 😊
This makes me want to go back to Glacier. I have been there two times and imagine I will visit again someday. It is a long trip from Ohio but well worth it. I last visited in July of 2021.
We want to go back so badly as well! There is still so much we didn’t get to see. It is such a stunning place!!
Loved it, guys! Brought me back to the anxiety of going through that low overpass to get into West Glacier! We were one site over from you! We could have been neighbors! Also, glad to see I'm not the only one still working on videos from 2022. ;-) Also that drone footage during the golden hour was beautiful, Michael!
Aww, it would have been so awesome to all be there together! ❤️ And yes, when I’m filming stuff now we always joke we will see it again in about 3 years. 😂😂
In my family, we have been going ever single summer since I was born, like a tradition basically. I always love the Gulf restaurant. so much fun at Gulf Shores!!
That’s awesome! I can’t believe we never went before this! Thanks for watching!
Hello there, I have analyzed your KZread channel and found out some problems, do you want to talk about it for a while?

My parents took me as a kid to see the dugout in the 90s. I empathize with them that it feels anticlimactic, but they'll remember it when they're big. We traveled to Europe, Disney World, etc. But our trip west, to National Parks and to follow Laura, is one of my best childhood memories. ❤
That’s so awesome! Yes, we are counting on this journey being some of the best memories they will ever have!! 🙏🏻
We absolutely love our new mattress! We have been sleeping SO well ever since we got it. Visit rvmattress.com/alistadventures to get 25% off YOUR mattress with code alistadventures. ❤
If that snake was a baby rattlesnake they are far more dangerous than adults. Adults can control the amount of venom they release, babies can't and can give you a big dose.
Yikes! That’s scary!
Stay at the caribe next time. And the gulf shores tacky jacks is a better one but all have great food.
We didn’t love the food at Tacky Jacks but might give the Gulf Shores location a chance next time. We are traveling in our RV now!
What a beautiful place! It’s amazing what our creator creates, isn’t it! ❤
It really is! 🙏🏻
Thanks for a great video. I really loved it starting about 14 minutes in, when you entered Big Thompson Canyon, because I was overcome with a flood of beautiful memories. When I was 10 years old in 1957, our fam had the same reactions to it, and to our first views of Longs Peak and the Front Range from Estes. Sooo many good memories. Everyone tent camped back then, and we drove to Glacier Basin Campground on a Sunday afternoon in July and had our choice of many open and wonderful campsites. That was just before camping really caught on. By 1962, we could barely find a site, and didn't camp after that. Anyway, I loved your reactions to that area. That first view as you enter Estes was magical for me 67 years ago, and I"m glad you were equally impressed. 🤭
I love this! Estes Park remains one of our favorite towns we’ve visited. Thanks for watching!
Had the room very near there and it was AWFUL! That sleeper couch was hard as a rock and all the staff did was bring a smelly piece of foam. The cabin steward was AWFUL as well and stole from us, with corporate disney doing NOTHING! I then informed the staff that I was pulling out my surveillance cameras, but that I would make my beds myself (which they did a terrible job), and there was to be NOBODY in my room if I wasn't there. Waste you money if you want to, but it NOT worth the 3 up to 6 TIMES the money for the same itineraries, as other major lines, especially the larger RCL ships and the service ISN'T that good and neither is this ship! Bugs all over, water lines breaking, the buffet was loud due to the HVAC rattling the ceiling, only ONE soda fountain worked completely, and those are just a FEW of the low lights!
Sorry that you had that experience! Ours was wonderful and we can’t wait to go again!
Very neat!
This area of the country is definitely so stunning!
I did the Alpine slide at Snow King with my kids a few years ago. Of course I lost my new Glacier NP hat about half way down. They were nice enough to retrieve it for me.
That’s awesome that they retrieved it! I lost my favorite hat on the Jurassic Park water ride at Universal Orlando years ago. Never saw it again!! 😢
Florida is beautiful I'm loving all the lush vegetation and your lizard tour guide ❤ The waterfall was pretty😊 Thanks for the adventure 😄
This park really was a great surprise! Not what we’re used to seeing in Florida!
I have been to the Tetons five times. I am a big Yellowstone fan so I always try to spend a few days there when I am close. The scenery is incredible. Nice video.
We loved it there and looking forward to the next time!
Love that area sooooo much!!! Great video!!
So underrated!!
Those snappads are HEAVY, aren't they?! I was surprised.
Yes, they are!
The West definitely is beautiful. If you ever go through Utah, not winter, two neat places to visit are: Cove Fort; and, Crystal Hot Springs in Honeyville. 🤠🐎🐱🇺🇸🐂
Thank you! We are headed to Utah in April!
I yawned too, just happened without warning!
Haha!! I love it! 🥱Thanks for watching!
Love this! Hot springs is great! Love the old hotel and bathhouses. Great video!
❤️
We camped at Lake Catherine State Park in October of ‘22. It’s a beautiful lake!! Did you know that Arkansas State Parks honor the America the Beautiful pass? Our campsite was 1/2 price!!!
No, we didn’t know that!! We thought it looked like a nice place to camp. I got a really cool coffee mug from there as well!
The summer before last I stayed at a campground in Rim Station which is about half way between Pinedale and Jackson. I drove past that moose statue everyday for about a week and was fooled. That area must have a lot of moose because when I drove in the direction of the statue on the morning I was leaving, I had a real moose run across the road in front of me.
It did look so real from afar!! lol We did see a real one there but I don’t think we captured it on video. I guess we will find out soon!
Very nice video. Nice family. God bless your travels.
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Haha. I like webcams, and I recognized the scene at 12:27 from the "Jackson Wyoming Town Square Live Webcam" here on KZread, which has been running for years. Just checked and it's snowing there now.
Oh that’s cool!! It’s probably beautiful.
Hey there!! We did that drive between Wyoming and South Dakota in reverse lol love seeing that scenery ~Brad and Diana
It was a gorgeous drive!! Thanks for watching!!
Looking forward to meeting you next Monday at the RV Content Creators meetup in Tampa - safe travels - Lance
Yay! Looking forward to meeting you as well!!
Just found your channel we will catchup with all your videos in time We bought a new RV last February and have used it about 20 weeks I felt your pain starting out as rookies, white knuckles and warranty issues I have only hit 2 trees and a house but I’m getting better We’re going to sell our house and become full timers later this year Keep up the good fight and see you on the road Peter & Sue Williams
I’m so glad you found us & congrats on your new RV! It was crazy at first, but now we usually hitch on the first try & we’ve only hit one (maybe two) curbs. 😂 You’ll get it! Thank you for watching!
One nighters we boondock at Cracker Barrel Walmart Cabella,s A few Truck Stops and some Rest Stops don,t waste your money for one night Happy Travels !!
We boondock here and there, but don’t have the best setup for it. We like it very cool when we sleep, so weather needs to be ideal or we really struggle! We would love to add some solar or at least better batteries down the road, but for now we typically stay in parks or Harvest Hosts with electric!
😮
I like the video from the new camera. The colors look very vibrant.
Thank you! We were so excited to get something new & different!
Good talk❤
This video of ridiculous things raises my anxiety. Couldn't turn it off fast enough
Thanks for your comment! It helps a lot! ❤️
This was our first time using leveling blocks! Do you use leveling blocks often when you camp with your RV?
Ah, that first time experience! All excitement and nervousness is a lot to go through, but you guys did great! I'm just four months into owning a TT and enjoying the learning curve. I have already learned to take things slow and safe. Thanks for sharing your experience with us all. Happy camping and safe travels.
Yessir. That is beautiful. Be a great place for an off the grid cabin/homestead. Only thing thats missing is a river/large stream.
Oh that would be a dream! And there are beautiful streams everywhere, so I’m sure a great place could be found…if it wasn’t a national park, that is.
These vidoes are over a year old?
Yes, we travel full time & shoot hours of footage each week. At first we we didn’t even have time to edit anything, but now I try to get a video out weekly. Even that’s sometimes difficult with touring, homeschool, primary jobs, etc. We do the best we can! Thank you for watching!
@@alistadventures love your channel
Nice to hear!
What a treat to see all those moose& elk!
It was so neat!!
Rocky Mountain NP is beautiful! I enjoyed watching your hikes.
This was such an amazing day!
Wow! What a great video. Thank you for sharing. As a native of Loveland CO and northern Colorado as a whole, welcome. I hope you enjoyed your stay. You literally drove right past my family's home off of Lake Loveland when you came through. Sorry about the hail damage, it's a thing out here we all live with along the Front Range but it looked like you weathered (pun intended) it well.
Thank you so much for your compliment and for watching! We truly loved that area of the country! It was absolutely stunning.
Per the US Weather Service, Weld County Colorado has had 296 tornadoes since 1950 - about 4 annually - making it Tornado Capitol of the World. And that seems to be due to a weather effect from Denver called the Denver Vortex. Cold mountain air shoots out of canyons leading into the Denver area, getting swirled along a high plateau to the south and west. This meets hot humid Great Plains air coming in from the northeast (mainly), turning the Denver/Colorado Spring region into a tornado factory that shoots tornadoes toward Weld county, which is a largely uninhabited county in the northeast corner of Colorado. In consequence, I-25 from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins gets extreme weather a LOT. However, hail the size that hit you is a very common experience all through the high plains. We love the people and the land, but the parks are very "spendy", and we we have to carry spare vent covers. Our car now looks like a maniac attacked it with a ballpeen hammer. Our car and our MH need multiple windshield chip repairs. The most extreme damage is from flash floods, hail, and extreme (60+ mph winds) in summer and extreme (-30F and lower) cold, HUGE blizzards with epic snowfall (8' + drifts) and extreme winds. I don't suggest being in an RV in winter in the high plains, but it CAN be done. Suggestions: use headphones as noise attenuators. Vent pillows are useful because they reduce water from getting into the RV when the vent covers break. Carry spare vent covers and a couple of spare turn signals, etc.. If boondocking, try to position the rig so that it faces into the storm. Close your slides and your curtains during storms in case windows shatter. Stabilizers help a lot in high winds. Park your car or truck upwind of the rig. If the rig turns over, you will still be able to shelter in the vehicle if it isn't crushed by the rig.
Very interesting, thank you for this information!
Very pretty.. Thanks!
Thanks again for watching!
We just went up the canyon to Estes Park this week to go to RMNP and loved it, but wasn't sure we wanted to take our campers up to Estes. Impressed that you went all the way up there. That canyon was unexpected for us too and very impressive. Wasn't Rocky Mtn Natl Park amazing? There's a reason it's the 4th most visited Park even over Yellowstone and Yosemite. We saw SO many elk! Glad you had a good trip up there. Looking forward to your report on RMNP and I hope you do Pike's Peak! That was a blast. Terrifying but exhilarating. Good job on the video!
We absolutely loved it & can’t wait to share more in upcoming episodes! We didn’t make it to Pikes Peak, but that’s definitely on the list for next time around!
I hope you had a good time in Estes Park. I have only visited the area one time but hope to get to visit again. Rocky Mountain NP is beautiful.
We had a wonderful time! We can't wait to share all of the footage in the next couple of episodes. Estes Park was definitely a favorite stop from last year.
Custer State park is my favorite Park in all of the United States!
It feels like a national park! We can’t wait to return.
