Alaska Road Trip: End of the Alaska Highway, Moose in Camp & the Pipeline

[@jeanballard8514]

i lived in alaska 5 years i traveled as much as i could . i went in an old 1974 dodge van . it was great i drove the alaskan highway all the way there and back.i lived in anchorage. i miss that beautiful country everyday . thank you for sharing carolyn . it brings back wonderful memories.

[@tracybrookey2289]

So glad you have Capone and he has you! Older dogs need lots of TLC and you definitely take wonderful care of him! He gets to be on the move and always seeing new things! He's definitely living the good life! Have fun, be safe and nourish your soul! Talk soon!💗🐶👍

[@davesrvchannel4717]

Enjoyed the video. I found a way to fill the water on opposite side without moving the rig. Just sling the hose under the RV. Safe travels!

[@kaczmogal]

Inspired by all you gals traveling solo. Traveled to Sweden and a month in Poland at 70 years young. Was amazed how much I could walk with my bad knees. Channeled all you gals who meet the challenge and figure it out. 👍

[@grimalkin5706]

Enjoyed watching Capone, the thought bubbles were cute. What a beautiful place, I can just imagine the smell of the crisp fresh air!

[@boitoiful]

I love this video. Capone sure looks happy even tho he's senior. So sorry he has passed. The female moose is a beauty! She is certainly a mature one. Thank you for sharing Carolyn.

[@SharonValentineMentorMe]

My sister lived in Delta Junction for many years, White something Farms. It's very nice and rural, but far from 9 months of darkness. My sister moved to Anchorage to live in "the big city". Safe travels.

[@tonichisum3365]

Capone smelled burgers and didn’t get any maybe he was pissed off. Haha. ❤️🐾❤️

[@kmm129]

My dad worked on the pipeline. He had a plaque with an original ring and in the middle it was a piece of iron he made into the state of Alaska. Proud man.

[@victoriaheatherly2656]

Wow do I love you ! You make my day. That was a wonderful time coming along with you 2 and enjoying my cup of coffee. Liveing vicariously through your life helps me see things I would not be able too. Thanks again Carolyn.

[@a.swifty1081]

Lilacs in Alaska! I would have never guessed, thanks for sharing. My grand dad had lilacs and I had white ones at my last home. Dear friend Capone, I just got a ramp for my Frankie since he's been missing the steps sometimes...The ramp is easy for him, but not quick enough for me. I pick him up to his truck seat...55 lbs. Thanks again, my traveling shero!

[@dorothycook7938]

SweetCapone, he looks like an OleMan, I'm so glad he can travel with you, what a life...You Got This Mr Capone🤗🐶🤗

[@roseannebennett2437]

Cappone , is a real sweetheart , such a good boy ! ! What a joy watching your amazing life & great adventures RVin' and sharing with everyone with your wonderful video's ! ! 😊😍🤗😎💜

[@joesenn9148]

Thank you Carolyn for the fun video. Great way to start my morning before I head to my 9-5. Just a few more years until my journey begins.

[@bonniemerritt2568]

Carolyn I just want you to know you are my inspiration. I am surrounded by people constantly telling me I can't do something. I started college at 58 cause I wanted to learn more, everyone said I would never finish the first semester, now I'm about to graduate, ready to start my adventure and all I hear is I'll never make it, which is daily I'm told. I just come to my room and turn you on. THANK YOU and I hope to get the chance to meet you in person somewhere in our travels and do that in person and give you a big hug. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Bonnie

[@GimmeADream]

My Australian Shepherd puppy is absolutely fascinated with Capone. She watches him intently especially when your feed him treats and she tries to "talk", kind of guttural sounds with him.

[@rebeccatreeseed410]

Awwwww Capone slipped. I am thinking of getting Little Guy a step up. I thought he was 6 months when I rescued him, but at six, he is sporting a white beard. Never even thought to ask the vet about his age, he looked so little, like a scrawny puppy. Now it sometimes takes him 3 tries to get on the bed, and I have seen him flat foot up 24". No more.

[@MsSoozy]

Dogs, really are wonderful. What a great spot you found, complete with a moose! Stay true.

[@barbveenstra8625]

6 minutes to vacuum is not much time, especially no time to get stuck!! Thanks for keeping it real!

[@patriciarussell7487]

Love how you don't plan! Love how happy you are!

[@garyballard3484]

Haha love the Capone thought bubbles.

[@carlyswan7447]

Beautiful vid as always,Carolyn.You take such good care of Capone.All dogs should have such lives!

[@lolasaxby1399]

I can see why you have to edit... so much to see 😊. You did another stellar job! Thanks for always thinking of us and filming and sharing your RV life with us.

[@lindalanasa1437]

I have a brush from QVC that was in a set a travel size with a cover and one a little larger, they are the best lint pet hair brushes I’ve ever bought. And I’ve tried them all

[@Pennisshop]

I worked there when first opened in 91. Loved Delta Juction

[@inge6280]

Love your videos. Moose are my most favourite large animal. Amazing creatures.

[@landseavideoescapes4502]

My father lived in Alaska and was a dynamite blaster for the pipeline! Cool footage!

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

Hi Carolyn Hi Capone :) love the bubbles by Capone!! Great addition :) awesome footage of the moose!! Thank thank you :)

[@shellychappelle2185]

Pony is just so darling 🐴. I think all viewers love him ;) . What a beautiful environment. Thanks for all your hard work to take us all along with you. I really enjoy and look forward to each and every vid you put out. Will be joining you very shortly...can’t wait :) 😚 xo

[@lyndapoysor5573]

There's joy and happiness in your voice. I noticed new graphics - cool. Thanks for your work and the video. Nice to see no garbage laying around. Love U.

[@vivalospepes1402]

Thank you for taking me "out of my problems" for as log as your video lasts! It's really kind of like reading a book, an escape. Thank you for what you do. Glad you're having a great time:)

[@maribethspence9458]

What an awesome video. Like others said...well technically it's not Sunday here anymore but Sundays are more fun knowing there'll be a new video from you. Thanks you made me smile tonight and I really needed that. Life has kinda sucked for me for quite a long couple years lately and...well that's a story for another time and place. The moose was gorgeous too!

[@chantellenew2331]

That looked like a popular food spot. What a beautiful moose cow. God bless.🚙

[@sherrydyne]

That seems like a nice place; the food looks good and it has a lot of outdoor seating, which is very nice.

[@loiscassels8966]

You can also buy reusable straws made for use with bubble tea.

[@jjcomparato5148]

Capone has to be the love of your life. I love the way you ask him questions.

[@sarahjackson1258]

Really enjoyed this video Carolyn! Liked watching the locals the pipeline , so interesting, my brother worked on that pipeline many years ago. Will have to watch this video again. Stay safe

[@babygirlgibbs]

Grear video like always. Funny when you got stuck vacuuming.😂 Love Capone's thoughts. Hugs to both of you. Hope you enjoyed that spot. Mooooose!😘

[@peterandrews4172]

My wife just walked by and wanted to know what I was laughing at ???.....I told her "a lady vacuuming ".....she just kept on walking :)

[@happyhighway106]

#194 Very well done, Carolyn. You made it to the end of the road. Fairbanks' here we come!

[@dyfcheer]

You can wrap up a broom or swiffer with packaging tape reversed so sticky side is out, and just keep dabbing the floor and furniture and the dog hair will stick to it. Like a giant lint roller.

[@nanaimojack3376]

My goodness look at all the people at that parkside restraint.. so pretty up that way .. I have to get a traveling and soon

[@robrob31295]

Exciting trip..wish I was back home in Wasilla Ak. Thanks for taking us. Hopefully you found a good store in Fairbanks..🤗hugs.

[@nancywalton55]

I really enjoyed this video...Capone is so sweet. My Faith who is 14, is doing the same thing. She'll Stop and won't budge. I'm constantly coaxing her to come in with treats! It's difficult having elderly pups. Ive got 2. It can be draining emotionally but, they know no difference. As long as they're with their Master and get plenty of treats, that's all that matters. 😊

[@RVrMomma]

nice vid. we had purple lilac bushes were I grew up too. Also my rig's dump outlet is opposite of water intake as well; yes it's a pain. That moose looked like a statue, LOL.

[@riverramblings4843]

I loved the lilacs! I have 3 in my yard and when I smell them the always bring back good memories! Veggie burger looked great - can't have soy that is in those tasty Gardenburgers - dang! Vacuuming IS totally a workout! I do not like the taste of Seattle's Best either. Capone is blessed to have you and your lovins. Agree 100% about the Canadian food store price points and healthy offerings.

[@joesrvhome]

I think most dogs hate the vacuum ...that was cool seeing the Alaska pipeline

[@AvrahamSolomon]

We have been full-time RVing for I think two months, I signed up for Thousand Trails and now enjoying the membership. I am not good at videos and I don't have a dog but I do have a Best Friend my son 😎, life is hard being a single daddy but I am also Blessed. We enjoy your videos, my son was saying hi to your dog. 👋 👳👶

[@kittygartland5305]

I will be in Fairbanks on the 16th , I'm so exited!!!! I will continue watching to see what wonderful places to visit!!! I love your videos!!! thanks so much!!!!

[@anneirenej]

Love all the scenery. My friend Frieda did a whole summer in Alaska last year. She had a lovely time. Thank you for sharing all a out your travels.

[@nkbbrigger3359]

To see that moose is very special

[@kathyadam9932]

Oh No, Not the Dog Eating Vacuum Cleaner Again. I was so excited you showed the ALASKA pipeline. I remember when they were building that and what big News this was back in the 70's. Loved the Moose. She was beautiful I really cracked up when you put up the captions of Capone's thoughts. This is so great. Thanks for making my Sunday just perfect. Have a great week you two.

[@UncleMo2]

Kathy Adam I also really enjoy her Sunday video each week :) I'm truly enjoying getting to follow her and Capones travels. She finds some of the most beautiful peaceful spots to boondock.

[@kathyadam9932]

Uncle Mo This has been the best trip ever. I feel very blessed that I have been able to have an inside look into what ALASKA. Is really like. My Brother wanted to go visit Alaska but ended up with Cancer in his early 30's. He did not survive but pleaded with me to go and see Alaska. I have not been able to as of yet but CAROLYN has taken me/us on this beautiful journey. This is a very special journey for me as well. I'm so glad that you are enjoying this a much as I am. CAROLYN is such an awesome lady.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

kathy and Uncle Mo, you both made me smile today. Thank you for being kind!

[@1forthepeople969]

@Carolyn: I really enjoyed your video tour. Not only real but very informative as well. The scenery is fabulous. Thank you for sharing.

[@missierasmussen8061]

Love you and your buddy Capone. I'm in Florida completing my van build soon. My hope is to meet several of my most beloved you tube mentors at January's RTR. Though you don't know me, I watch and learn, emulate and used ideas given through you all into my van and the way I conduct myself. I carry a Smith and Wesson very small weapon so I 'm gonna mail it to Alaska when I go. Canada does not like firearms entering there. Love Missie (a 63 year old Navy retirere).

[@applepiebetty]

Loved the veggie burger scene. lol Seemed so idyllic. Private, yet sharing space. I bought two of the polar pads one for my Yorkie and one for me. I lived in Ca. with 1105-120 degree heat all summer, and it worked great on my back when I went to bed, worked great on his too. lol Later I had an air cond. problem in my car. I could leave early enough to go to town when it was cool but too warm by the time I was ready to head home, so I flipped the pad over the seat, so It again worked to keep me cool. They should also ad for people too. Last scene... Looks like a perfect place for a moose. Good thing it was on the other side.

[@nfoss5656]

That was a big moose. Poor Capone. He’s growing old but look at the adventures he is enjoying.

[@ivahill2280]

Thanks for sharing the dream I am loving Alaska like I knew I would love to you and Capone

[@delindabrooks7182]

This was so much fun watching....$2.00 for six minutes..What a workout! Poor Capone, he kind of walks like he has arthritis in his back hip area...right side. It’s rough (ruff) getting older!👍🏼❤️😁

[@naturegalpics]

I love it when you show us your travels through the front window. The RV is higher up and the scenery is stunning. You are in areas that in my eight trips to Alaska I never saw. The sounds of the nature when you are out walking are wonderful.

[@OzLioness]

Just a tip to removing dog hair …. vacuums suck at it (pardon that obvious pun!) Use that 2 inch wide packing tape - cheap is fine. Wrap the sticky side out around your hands - it works BRILLIANTLY on hair! The hair ends seem to spear themselves in fabric and carpet - and packing sticky tape rips it out. Use as much tape as you need to get it clean. I had a big, long haired dog - and if you knew the snowstorm of hair they create in your car …!! LOL Anyhow, it worked brilliantly

[@peanut1613]

I envy you so much for what your doing . if I wasn't disabled and was able to travel all over I would do it tomorrow. I love the freedom , and I guess it can get lonely sometimes but I love my freedom of being alone. as long as I had books to read and a phone or computer to check in at times I would live on the road. God bless you and I pray that you have a safe a wonderfull journey. I also love capone bless him I have a chihuahua who is 14 and they are like ours kids .you hang in there copone you have a wonderful mother who loves you buddy.

[@teamcougars]

J B If you ever want to hit the road and want a travel buddy, hit me up, I’m disabled also. Or as I call it, differently abled, due to a stroke, but I can walk& talk, I’m not wheelchair bound by any means.

[@paularevilla1367]

Love y dog. You look like a happy ldiot. Happy trails

[@peanut1613]

awe sweet im not in a wheelchair either

[@bonniebogert5271]

Just love my micro trips with you and Capone!

[@HomesteadingAlaskatoMaine]

Not to put to fine a point on it, but we don't get 9 months of dark. What we call, " Dark winter " is really about 12 weeks, then the sun comes screaming back. It becomes what we call, " Light Winter "... That is also about 12 weeks long. The rest of the 8 months of cold weather are transition zones.... The best time of the year to get out and play is March and April. Sunny, no bugs, Rivers are still frozen so travel is easy. It's awesome.... March is also the Sunniest month of the year. This is an FYI and is posted with a large smile. Love the channel.....

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Robert, I was just repeating what the Native Alaskan said to me.

[@kenmartin1211]

Carolyn, I had not checked your site in a while. Its great to see you made the trip to Alaska safely and that you and Capone are doing well. You look good.. ; ) It's been a Busy summer, spending as much time as possible Outdoors and Off the map. Take care..

[@kanuckbrewero6118]

The scenery keeps on being there, no end in sight. Great trip, thanks for sharing, Carolyn.

[@angiewebb7538]

Hi Carolyn and Capone! Poor baby, I am glad you gave him is favorite treats. I find it really interesting about the female moose. No antlers. Love the scenery. So refreshing to see clean, pure trees and mountains and rivers and wildlife. You are awesome for sharing this wonderful journey with us. Thank you again. Peace and Love

[@nomadnarcoleptic]

The captions with Capone talking made me giggle 🤭😂 Loved it.

[@olgat714]

Carolyn love your videos , makes me want to consider getting an RV and traveling.Thanks for sharing.❤️

[@michaelyankasky5656]

The reason your water fill and sewage are on the opposite sides is for sanitation people will tend to use the hose that people use to clean out their sewage tank to filter clean water if they're on the same side it's for sanitation purposes

[@debjh]

Wow the bird song at end.....💕🎶❤️🎶💕. beautiful!

[@gen6895]

thanks for showing us what rv life is really like on the road! I have enjoyed following your adventures in alaska as well.

[@caroldodson8258]

Loved the sounds of the birds at your camp!

[@clapoutloudclapoutloud]

Love to see Capone in the videos, be safe have a good time on your ventures.

[@lizyoung2734]

He is just so beautiful and you are so cool with him !

[@BELINDASPIRIT]

Thank you so much for the share....the Capone thought bubbles were perfect!!! Safe travels!!

[@lindabourketempleton4040]

When I’m in town I do everything, empty everything, fill everything, wash everything, stay in caravan park for two nights, have a good hot shower, have an meal at the pub and a few beers just for some social reaction., house work,

[@marsmoon4155]

Love watching all your videos. Wish I could make that road trip to Alaska. You are so brave.

[@kodeywhitewolf5756]

Loved watching Capone..... / fun figuring out what he's thinking.... LOL.....I think most animals hate the vacuum

[@sarahjackson6714]

Enjoy it again Carolyn, can’t wait till you get to Fairbanks

[@mikemead2315]

I am fascinated you can find a veggie burger anywhere in the state let alone at a small town drive-in. Maybe I wont need to stock a freezer full of special foods when I make my trip.

[@faithrada]

Just a note on Prudhoe Bay area.. (top of Alaska) .. there have been a number of relatively strong earthquakes in that area this last few days. A 6.4 was a record breaker for that area.. so, some concern for the oil industry up there. Apparently it was felt even down in Fairbanks.

[@deenalaux5182]

The moose almost looked as though it thought it was hiding from you. LOL!!! Great video! Thanks for sharing! Safe travels and Enjoy!

[@TheBioExplorer]

When you got to Fairbanks you should have found some great produce. Things like cabbages grow to tremendous sizes in the long days there. Yeah... the female moose don't have antlers but can be very dangerous.. more than bears... especially if they have a calf with them. They've been known to stomp people to death.

[@daisyspeedy1]

I had that bumper sticker... I got it at a restaurant /gas station towards toke idk where though it's been a while.

[@francisa751]

Amazing some relationships between pets and humans, seen here in KZbin. You and Capone are a good example, as well Eric and Jax, Ausia and Momo, etc.

[@4TIMESAYEAR]

Invest a couple of bucks in a napped lint brush - it won't get the dirt, but it definitely gets the hair. Doesn't take up much space.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Great idea! thank you...

[@4TIMESAYEAR]

You're welcome

[@gracel3320]

Love the videos you share, what an adventure you and Capone are having! 😌

[@bettybrigance6784]

Love this one........now can't wait to watch the next one......be safe....😌

[@BettyHorn]

Hubby lived in Alaska for 3 years. I've always wanted to go...

[@lor3999]

Capone’s thoughts in a bubble, lol 🤣🐶

[@Goodgrief7811]

Nice find !!! The very still moose.

[@enzodunn2577]

Im sorry but watching the vacuum job was actually pretty funny. When you got to that part I couldn't help but laugh. That looked like the hardest vacuum job ever. I was like.. there has to be an easier way! LOL. But I guess in an RV there really isn't. And why store a regular vac when they take up a lot of room. Thanks Carol this was great! Hope Capone is doing well.

[@gilbertgonzalez7561]

Hi!" Mirs, Carolyn good to see you again. Life is hard, so we must go on, and try to challenge some more of goodness of this world. Bye goldilocks.👣🇺🇸 P.S. That was a cool idea that you make Mr, Capone think that he was talkin. 🎬

[@kentuckygrly6215]

Loving the Alaskan Trip, Would love to see an itemized list of what it cost to do a trip to Alaska. Possible Video idea, maybe... Lol

[@wrodney5]

I wonder how much that gallon of milk and dozen eggs cost?

[@francineshea4723]

Another nice video. How are the mosquitoes? Heard they are big and abundant up there??

[@SenecaRaccoon]

Thumbed up for vacuum trauma! Lolol. Always love watching your vids at work.

[@maxinebrody4988]

Capone is such a love bunny❤️❤️❤️

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

Great tip about the vacuum at station. I heard you say "cooling pad" for Capone - I looked in your links in description and didn't see it. Can you add a link or comment on where you got it please? That fun ride along. Thanks for taking me along! I too am surprised anyone can drive up where the pipeline is at. Safe travels.

[@peacelovehomestead8361]

Hi Carolyn! Two items....I assume you're giving Capone glucosamine or some similar. I just started my labbie on Cosequin because I've heard very good things....got it at Costco cheap! Second item maybe for a Q and A reel.....what's your current solar set up? I'm taking off from Virginia in about six weeks!
