Good afternoon guys from Glamis, California. I hope you're having a great
day! Welcome to a vlog update! So we are still heading to Baja but... One of the
best parts of traveling full-time is that we get to spend a lot of time with
family. And we were in Yuma after the battery install...So we swung through San
Diego where we hook up with dad, Russ and Christine, my mom, Ken and Gloria...
And ahhh...Mike and Wora... And we're gonna head on back to Yuma! But.... You gotta stop in
Glamis! This place is like...Well, it's a giant sand playground!... So biggest thing
we want to update you on. And we kind of alluded to it in one of the last videos....
Is that we have officially decided to go home to Alaska this summer. Lots of
different reasons for wanting to do this but mostly like: "Why the heck not?" We're
here, we love being at home and ahhh...We can go have a really good time with this rig in
our home state. So... In light of the fact that we're going home, we have decided to
do something for the first time! Really special! We have decided to go ahead and
offer the tours that Ben talked about when we were out at the canals. So we'll
provide a link in the description below. There are three different kinds of
tours or events that we're offering. And... You can go read about them, request more
information, see... I've actually made some brochures. You can have a look at them!... So
we've narrowed it down to 3 kinds of tours. Both are going to be similar but
uniquely different! The first tour is going to be: "A Kenai Peninsula RV tour."
The second tour is going to be: "A live like an Alaskan course based out of our
house." And the third tour for our RV and buddy's is going to be: "A live like an
Alaskan but based out of your RV." So... You know, why pay for a place to stay when
you got your own place behind you and you recognize that!... We're pretty stoked about
this. We think this is going to be a lot of fun and we would love to see some of
you guys at home in Alaska this summer!
Well.... Here it is guys! Oldsmobile. Quite a few people here today! Are you
ready to do this honey?...Hahaha!Very funny... We're gonna do this...No we're not...I'm getting out!...We're doing it!...No we're not...Yes we are...No we are not
In terms of timeline, here's what we're thinking. And this is what we're thinking,
right?... Because you guys know how timelines go with Ben and I. But we're
gonna look to spend about a month in Mexico.
We're gonna go down the Sea of Cortez side and up the Pacific side so we kind
of chase the cooler weather as it gets warmer! And then we're gonna give
ourselves about a month to get back home to Alaska. We've got a lot of things to
do if we're gonna have these tours in Alaska. So we need to allow ourselves
some time. And we're also looking forward to having some downtime at home! Just us
and Shelby relaxing and enjoying our house! So.... That's tentative! You know how
it goes! But it's a rough idea of where we're headed and how long we're gonna be
there. And our plan when we drive home to Alaska is to go along the coast. We have
a lot of places that we really love to visit. And we're just gonna hit all of
our favourites!.... Well yeah! Pismo sand dunes, oregon sand dunes ahhh.... You know the
various stretches of the PCH...Yeah!..Definitely. Totally!... I was just gonna say the person in the entire
United States who is authorized to service our Wallis diesel stove top is
in Seattle. And we can save about $500 in shipping if we just
take it to him, hang out in Seattle for a couple of days....
Which believe it or not, Ben and I have never spent time in Seattle together! And...
Then pick it up and head on at the highway!.... I think there's a good chance for
a meet-up in SeaTac.... I'm guessing that there will definitely be a meet-up in
SeaTac! Probably somewhere in California...Yeah!..As well.... Maybe one in Oregon. Kind of try
to do one in each state type thing...Yeah!Let's see what happens!...
Yep! aah... Last thing I wanted to tell you guys but you can hear her lapping water
right now... Which is what made me remember! Shelby is doing fabulously! So she is
just about to come completely off of the steroids and.... With every decrease we've
done, her little personality has come more to life and she's ahhh... Getting stronger
physically and she's acting more like herself. She plays with Ben again and...
She runs around and her little feet are all coordinated. Instead of all kind of
wonky like they have been this year. And we are just so happy because with her
being sick, we never really knew how much of it was the illness that she
experienced. And how much of it was the medicine she had to be on to curb the
illness. And what we've seen is that it was definitely at least a part of it was
in play with the steroids. And we are so grateful that she's able to come off of
them. And doing so well! She's just a happy little duck and so are we!
We got it! Just really, really bouncy oh no! Don't.... Come on, come on, come on...Oh yeah!That was close!
I almost ran out of second gear. I can't go into first... Unless you're like zero stop for five seconds even!
Alright guy! That's a wrap for a vlog update from Glamis, California. This was a
fun afternoon honey!...It was! I wasn't too thrilled about coming out here but... I
actually had a really good time!.... It's fun! Yeah! It's definitely breezy out but it
was a lot of fun and the truck did great guys!
You know, this truck just impresses us more and more every day!.... And amazingly
enough through all those dunes, the back is totally fine!...And clean...Yeah! Not
too much fell off... We're good!... Alright! Well, we are heading back towards...
We might pick up some packages from Uncle JJ's and wrap some last things up!
But make sure you hit SUBSCRIBE because the next video coming up is gonna be
really, really, cool! We're pretty excited about it! And then we're heading to Baja!
Alright. We'll see you later!
