    Hola muy buenas familia, me ha parecido fantástico el lugar, tienen que estar contentos de vivir en Estados unidos tiene una naturaleza increíble. Bueno aquí en ESPAÑA ahora en nuestras islas tenemos un problema serio con un volcán que se ha llevado cientos de casas por delante una pena. Y mi mascota al que le puse el nobrr de JIM en su honor, cada día es mejor es listisimo y buenisimo.
    Un abrazo enorme y les deseo todo lo mejor en su vuelta a Alaska. Estoy deseando ver el próximo vídeo. Muchas gracias.

    This was another great video. Loved when you went on the hike and camped out and made another Instant Pot meal. That looked like a nice hike you took. Beautiful scenery. The restaurant to you went food looked good. Embers face when you asked her about the storm. That was too cute. Can’t wait until I see next weeks video. Have a great week. See you soon! 🤗

    That is a National Park that we didn't get to see on our 2 big trips to the West. We cut thru Texas twice but always in a diagonal fashion. Closest we ever got was about 300 miles away in New Mexico. The fossils looked very interesting. Ember must have had to spend most of her time in the van? Being a NP and so hot it was probably not to dog friendly. I can't believe you are headed back to Alaska so soon with much to visit in the lower 48 but understand that Alaska is home. Safe travels.

    I’m so glad you made it to Padre Island (minus hurricane Nicholas) and Big Bend while you were in Texas! Yeeehaaa! Your Revel is so reliable when off the grid to keep all three of you safe. So now we get to see you head back to Alaska. I can’t wait for your kind of winter. Your San Antonio fan

    What a wonderful exploration of a great National Park. The quiet Parks are the best. Although I've spent a lot of time in Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, the one time we went to Big Bend in the '80s my friend became ill and we had to turn back. So this was wonderful to see what you explored and captured on video. Another of my favorite quiet National Parks is Great Basin Nat'l Park in Nevada if you ever return to the area.

    Very nice video, these roads and paths through desert, were already so bad 25 years ago. Jim, the beautiful roll roast, so to destroy, will not happen in Germany. I hope it has tasted you. Nice days still in hot Texas.

    If you are still in West Texas, you should check out Palo Duro Canyon, near Canyon Texas. It’s called the Grand Canyon of Texas and is the second largest canyon in the USA (second only to the Grand Canyon in Arizona) and the Texas Outdoor Musical is performed in the outside pioneer amphitheater.

    I hate to say it, but you guys missed some of the more spectacular and interesting things to see in BBNP. Santa Elena canyon (sometimes you have to cross the water) is simply amazing once you get up the stairs and back in there a bit. The Mariscal Mine which you were near on the River Road is very cool also. And, of course, the view from the top of the Chisos rim is nothing short of spectacular. Hope you make it back!

    LOVED THIS VIDEO! I must see these places. Hopefully, leaving to see these deserts soon if Biden let’s us into the U.S. Question: Who was the Santa-like statue depicted in time-slot 2:46? Please, don’t let me die wondering… Anyway, loved your screenshots, ambiance & visuals. So grateful 💕 Cheers!
