Excellent adventure. I wish to add a story about Hope (the name). I met this old-timer who had lived up there for years. He now resides in Arizona. He told me that the way he understood it was Hope got its name after the first people that lived there. It became a saying back then: Tomorrow we hope to see the sun. As the population grew so did the saying. In later years they had to think up a story about the name and glory be, here came Pierce Hope, just hopped off the train. He's been living out here now for a few years and now he hopes the sun will never go down except summer. Glad y'all are feeling better. Don't feed the bears!🙂

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh interesting! We like that story too! Thank you for sharing that!

[@LarryAnderson-jx7xv]

I have lived in Hope for forty-five years and have never heard that story.

[@jancross516]

Wow! It was so good to see the Kenai peninsula. I lived in Alaska in the '70s/80s for 10 years, six in Homer. You brought back so many good memories. Enjoy!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Homer and the Kenai are some of our favorite places so far on this trip!

[@guadalupeknippen528]

Thank you so much for taking us along your fantastic journey in Alaska. The views at the begining of the video are spectacular. Being out in nature is so good for the soul.i just don't have words for how I felt watching this video. Please accept my sincerest thank you for sharing these thrilling views and history of Alaska. 🥰🌻🐕🇺🇸

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We're so lucky and thankful we get to do what we do and are able to share it for others to enjoy! Thanks as always, Guadalupe!

[@jerryfrankierobertson8937]

Glad y’all are better. All I can say is more, more, more. We look forward to seeing each one of your adventures. Thanks!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you! All good now! We're extra excited for the next handful of videos!

[@candacemeifert-polk7383]

I am so grateful fot your videos of Alaska. I was there in 2005 with my daughter for a high school graduation trip I planned in June 2005.. I have always wanted to return since there is so much to see. I would never get to see all this without your excellent videos! So much fun! Thank you! And, Happy very belated Birrhday Katheryn.

[@annette3488]

Oh my gosh! These videos just get better and better! AK is a beautiful state with so much to see & do! I’ve did 3 cruises to AK but next I want to just do land only! Thank you for all the videos! Giving me some great ideas what to do next time we go! I was thought Adam was going halibut fishing, nope just taco😂

[@tacrewgirl]

If you travel to Alaska by land, I recommend renting an RV. It's the best way to see the state.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Yes we highly recommend traveling by land in an RV if you can! There is so much to see and do and it's best to be able to do things at your own pace. The tacos were spectacular!

[@shuminfan101]

Oh I’m so glade to see both of you had speedy recovery from Covid. My husband also asked me to extend his warmest wishes to you. He is a typical IT guy without any social skills, even though he opened an KZbin account just to give you one more subscriber and he loves all the videos, he still finds himself out of courage or appropriate words to leave in the comments section.🙄 So I just want to let you know he loves you and he does click the like 👍 button every time 🥰🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much to the both of you!

[@cmbtking]

Just got home from a 10 day trip to the Kenai Peninsula with a few guys from work. Most unbelievable trip ever. And we managed to be there for the first solid week of the year, beautiful weather all week. I can't wait to go back.

[@TheAverageTourist]

The town looked so beautiful and charming! Would love to spend some time there. Glad you're feeling better - but that sucks getting sick on the road. So much beautiful hiking... even the failed attempt.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was a bummer, but thankfully it really just ended up being a minor inconvenience more than anything! Hope and Homer were so charming and fun!

[@AzulFyre]

I love when you guys visit the smaller towns and Hope is not exception. I also like that you don't skim over the small local museums too. Skilak lake is gorgeous, those colors are amazing! When people think of Alaska, I think most of think of snow and mountains. I had a friend go during the summer years ago and he couldn't stop talking about the wildflowers. It's really nice to see you guys experience them too.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That museum was high quality! And Hope was a nice little gem filled with very nice people. We're glad we got to do the Skilak hike...it was amazing! Ya you always think of snow and Alaska, but the summers are wonderful!

[@stephengarese9230]

You guys are awesome! You bring so much amazingness to so many! Huge thanks

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@brendamountaingirl8354]

Wow I’m left in aww on the beauty of our Nation 🇺🇸 hope you both are feeling well and get some much needed rest 😌🙏🏼

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We’re all good now! Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@sonny1172]

Wow, that music and scenery brought tears to my eyes! What beauty.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you!

[@joemorin6247]

Sorry you both got sick but am glad you have recovered from Covid. Thanks for the awesomeness & safe travels to you!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

All good now! Thank you!

[@my4hvids]

I skip around watching your videos and see that you got Covid-19 while you were in Alaska. I had my first case of it lately. Glad you recovered well

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Yep that was our one and only bout with it. Thanks for watching!

[@amycuaresma]

Well Guys, I must admit as a lifelong Anchorage resident, I thoroughly approve of your representation of the Kenai Peninsula. I love hope, I have been whitewater rafting down Six Mile more times than I can count. You guys must be exhausted at the end of a day - you really packed a lot into a short amount of time. Homer is so fun. Did you happen to go to The Salty Dawg? Our family has a cabin on Halibut Cove...so I am excited to see where your next adventure lands you. I must admit, I have never eaten salmon skin. How was it? And don't feel bad, I don't really like any salmon except fresh reds (sockeye salmon). We are a bit of salmon snobs up here. Currently the silvers, or Coho Salmon, are starting to run on the Kenai. You guys maybe should just move to Alaska, we would welcome you with open arms! Thanks for supporting out local tourism industry. Will you be back through Anchorage? If you ever need a free place to park overnight - or a warm shower - we live on a large one-acre property in Sand Lake Area, with plenty of safe and quiet parking where you can rest uninterrupted. I am sorry you got COVID, I am an ER RN at Providence in Anchorage, let not meet there ok? Take care of yourself and safe travels...wherever you may be!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you Amy, that means a lot! We are definitely constantly exhausted, but so much to see and do! We did visit The Salty Dawg with some RVer friends a different day off camera, but as non-drinkers, it was more of just a "neat to see the dollar bills" stop for us. The salmon skin was really good! I love crispy skin on chicken, so it added the same type of feel for me. We definitely would love to live in Alaska if it wasn't so far from family, we have truly had the best time here. We appreciate the parking offer as well, Kathryn is flying out of Anchorage for a wedding this week, but I plan to hop back down to the Kenai Peninsula to fish while she is gone. And hopefully no ER visits for us!

[@stargazer5073]

Great job, always go with the flow. So happy you are healthy again.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

All good now! Gotta roll with the punches. Thanks!

[@markwilson2699]

What a great time you had visiting Homer and the beautiful hikes and views (we all) took in with you. Hope, AK is such a beautiful place, would of never seen it had I not been here watching !!!!! Thxs.

[@joybeekingston6472]

So sorry you two got Covid, but also so so happy you recovered ok! Great video, loved the filming❤

You two are my favorite KZbinrs!! Hands down the best! Love what you do and it creates joy for me. Thank you for being you!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That is a very kind comment! Thank you so much! We are lucky we get to do what we do!

[@TexasRoadrunners]

One of the best parts about Alaska is how dog friendly it is. I'm enjoying your videos, thanks for posting.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We love that too! Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@johnlenart597]

Glad to hear you're recovering from Covid., and continuing with Alaska. Best buy $$ the US ever made. Most of us are lucky that you can show us the Alaska views that only we can dream of. Plan 2 was not disappointing. Waiting for the next episode. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Yes the US got quite the bargain out of this state! 😂 We're all good now and fully recovered! Thanks!

[@g550guy]

Love your food critic spots!

[@babyblueyoshi]

Thanks, Chrisy! We're all good now and thankfully it was only a minor setback

[@mindiwilhelm4322]

Beautiful photography and drone footage. Just like always. You guys rock!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you!

[@suzanneaydelotte801]

I L❤️VED the intro to this video…Kathryn yelling “I Love Alaska!” So much beauty…love the coastal towns…they look like what I think Alaska looks like! The coffee stand, tacos and EVERYTHING else was fabulous! I also loved your music choices and all of the history! I could go on and on…just love you three…you are so real and talented❣️😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We'll be screaming it from the mountain tops before we leave here! We love sharing what we learn along the way!

I grew up in Sterling so it was really nice seeing this video of places that I used to see as a little kid and haven't seen in 25 years thank you

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@sharonswink3234]

I loved the alternate hike the best, such a gorgeous lake!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was a great plan B that maybe should've been plan A!

[@chrisgoldsby4103]

So glad you are both well again and continuing your adventures with an another super and wonderful video!!! Thanks!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

All good now! Thank you!

[@craftytraveler9238]

Thanks for another great video. Sorry you both were ill, glad you are feeling better. We love salmon too especially fresh. Be careful about feeding salmon to your dog it is fattier. My husband usually grills it outside. I thoroughly enjoy your hikes because I wouldn't be able to do them.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thankfully it didn’t affect us too much! It was only a minor setback. That salmon was delicious! Kona only got that little nibble. Thanks!

[@MegansiCast]

The splotches on the lake make Skilak look like a different planet!

[@josephwilson4074]

Glad ur over covid and back to ur adventures! God bless and enjoy, thanks!

All good now! Thanks!

[@robingastonia9192]

[@ConnieZDodd]

Wow how beautiful! I'm glad you got to do the second hike. Worth it for sure! Can't wait to see what's next!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That second hike totally made up for the miss before it! Thanks and thanks for watching!

So happy to have discovered you two. Been binging on your adventures and have absolutely no regrets 😆. Love your channel, your honest take on your situations, and mostly your way of traveling. Not just about “van life” or “travel” for the sale of travel. You both have this rare quality about how you present your adventures that is just so lovable. My wife and I are grateful for your work and we thoroughly enjoy every second of your videos. Keep it up and stay uniquely you. We so enjoyed our latest trip to Redding area thanks in part to your Redding episode.

[@tacrewgirl]

Happy that you're recovered from Covid. Hope you were able to get a hotel or Airbnb to have more space while sick. Wow, you went to Palmer Lakes Trail. Many locals don't even know about that trail. Sorry that it was cloudy at Slaughter Ridge. The photos from the top are amazing. Looks like you too are having quite the adventure with your salmon, halibut, and hikes. If you thought that otter was cute, wait until you get to Seward. They have LOTS of them there. No idea how you've missed the mosquitoes but they are abundant and around. You've been very lucky! Happy travels!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are fully recovered now thank you! We hunkered down in the van at a campground until our quarantine days were up! Palmer Lakes was amazing! I was bummed to miss out on Slaughter Ridge, but Skilak Lake made up for it! We saw tons of wildlife on our boat tour we took from Seward! Can't wait to share that video soon Ya we really haven't been bothered by the mosquitos some how!

[@JazzBanjo]

There are some killer drone shots in this video! Must be so freaking fun to fly and film in such incredible spaces!

Thanks! This video was new drone’s debut! It is a ton of fun to fly! I get lost filming when I’m flying it!

[@JazzBanjo]

@@AdventuresofAplusK looks very good! I could see you doing orbits. Maybe you’re using focus track? I love that feature!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I do orbits a lot. I mostly do them free hand though. I don't use a lot of the features it offers. I want to try out the mastershots though sometime. I know it has tons of sensors all over it, I'm just nervous to let it just fly off without me controlling it!

[@JazzBanjo]

@@AdventuresofAplusK yeah, with mastershots you just have to be in a big open area so it doesn't crash into anything. Any sideways motions can be dangerous because there are no side sensors.

[@courtneykappel370]

I enjoyed seeing both Skilak Lake and Homer. Thank you! Are you warming up to seafood more through your travels? Those Halibut and Rockfish tacos looked delicious! Kudos for another wonderful video!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I'm so proud of Kathryn! She is really warming up to it! She'll definitely still choose a good steak over any seafood, but she has really branched out and tried lots of seafood! Thanks!
