My sister has a cabin in Glenn Allen and we eat at that Thai place quite often. It's very good.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yummy!

[@LJCasey-sd4eu]

Thank you so much for taking us all along on your trip!!!! 💖 Alaska is such a beautiful state! 🥰🥰

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@mandywhitton]

I loved all these Holidays a big thank you Mark and Lauren xxxxx❤❤❤❤❤❤ thanks to Mum And Dad looking after the children

[@Livinglifeoutsidethebox]

Just curious, but did anyone else have a problem with the volume on this vlog? Not trying to be negative in anyway, but I had my computer volume up full blast and still it was minimal? Just wondering if its my computer. Great vlog. Love these trips and all your exploring.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Sounds like it was bad for some people. It was fine when I listened back. Weird! Sometimes when we are in the car the background noise can be bad but it seems like it depends on what people are listening on. I did it on my phone and it was fine???

[@brilliantbutblue]

Yes, it's hard to hear in the car. The suggestion is to use ear bids or headphones. 👍

[@mandywhitton]

I watching Thursday 14th September 2023 lol

[@lindalou9507]

Have been to McCarthy/Kenicott. An amazing community. We had dinner at the mine and it was amazing. We had a truck/camper and it was worth the trip. We spent the night along the road back. My husbands dad owns property in Valdez so we spent a couple days there. Valdez is where my guy grew up.

[@andregilbert8060]

I've taken this drive in the summer and winter. Winter time I got snowed in and had to stay an extra day. Driving back going through Keystone Canyon and Thompson Pass was unreal. It was the best trip ever. The views are amazing. Will be going back

[@robertas3578]

I like to watch vlog with Mark Glad you are doing well. Alaska is amazing. I watch Alaska vlogs. I am washington State

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Mark us the best tour guide! Thank you so much for being along for the fun.

[@donnahawkins3135]

Did thank you very much it was a beautiful ride I hope you both have a beautiful time when you get a where you are going.

[@michellealder5051]

Hi Lauren, Mark , Thank You for Sharing your Beautiful Homeland of Alaska,The Breaking Views are Stunning 🥰🥰🥰🥰uk 🇬🇧

[@marykonyha7172]

Lauren, please do something about the mic you use because the volume is so low and I can barely hear you. I would hate to have someone turn off because they can't hear you. You won't lose me because I love you and your family adventures.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

So sorry! Car videos are hard with the background noise of the road. I don’t do them very often and always forget.

[@ZXX984]

That was a nice trip. Felt like I was sitting in the back seat. Really appreciate Mark’s knowledge of the glaciers and all of Alaska. You would really driving through the Adirondack mountains in NY near where we’re from and camped a lot. Those volcanoes ever erupted at all? Your windshield? Bugs do a number here in Florida. If I can get my health back in check and other things work out, an Alaskan trip we will make. We will do what you did Lauren, rent a small Class C motorhome. But we would prefer a more wooded area, not like a parking lot. As a tourist coming to explore on our own, is this time of year good? How do we pack as Floridians?😂 Till next time, enjoy. Larry and Lisa.

[@jamietipton5743]

Just beautiful! My trip was in 2011, late September. Wet and the trees was a bright yellow. I started in Skagway boarded the train to the top of the mountain. There I boarded a motor coach which was a tour into Whitehorse and all the views. I do remember stopping in TOK at a like conference center for a bag lunch and bathroom break. I know we stopped in Carcross, Denali for 2 nights. That’s where I fell. On to Fairbanks but due to my fall I missed the dredge 8; boat ride, dogs, and pipeline tour. It rained almost everyday or everyday. Boarded the Alaskan train to Anchorage then a long flight back to Tennessee. It is truly an amazing experience to see all of the beautiful mountains,trees,animals, glaciers, and wow just lovely. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@maryricketts8526]

Our son was in college in Oregon when the spill happened. His dad got him a job working on the spill. It ectended his college by one year but it was all paid for after that plus a beautiful Honda motorcycle to ride out of Alaska to Oregon. Quite the adventure.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

He was part of the action in Valdez. Thank you so much for watching! That would be an adventure riding from Alaska on a motorcycle

[@vickielopresti5767]

What a pretty drive! God sure was paying attention when he made Alaska! Vickie from SE Pa

I was in Kotzebue the end of August Got to go net checking, boated to two places we climbed to for blueberries, road 6 wheeler with dogs running in front Also took 4 wheeler out to tundra for more berries. Had a ball staying with my friend. We did so much without using a truck Next time i will rough it at their camp Weather turned so we didn’t get to go It requires boating there or going over ice when frozen

[@cathy8070]

Thank you so much for the guided tour. I live near the Rocky Mountain range and I thought those mountains were beautiful. But Alaska mountains r just spectacular 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦

[@kristietaylor719]

Having lived in the Appalachian Mountains and driven through the U.S. portion of the Rocky Mountains, I agree the mountains and glaciers of Alaska are absolutely breathtaking. Being in Oklahoma the thing I miss the most is being able to see and drive through the mountains. Thank you for the views.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Glad you enjoyed it! I love all mountain areas in the US but Alaska does have so many spectacular views that just blow you away.

[@kristietaylor719]

I am disabled and the likely hood of getting to see any mountain range again is low so I get my fix through videos like this. When my dad had to go to NC due to family health issues for his siblings I asked him to take some pictures and videos for me and he did. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you and your family adventures. Congratulations on your babies.

[@cheryldenerichardson8020]

I love you guys,,,!! And I'm praying that you will feel better soon!! Take care and I'll talk to you soon. ❤❤❤❤

[@traceyhue-sang5229]

Wow amazing thankyou for sharing your beautiful country with us. The scenery is breathtaking. You both are so knowledgeable and it was like being on a tour.

[@sallymcgrath7377]

I love your videos about the different sights in Alaska, My youngest son moved to Soldotna last Year, i havent been there to visit him yet .

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I hope you can visit one day! Hope he is liking living here.

[@roibigdawg4606]

I miss Alaska I wanna come back there so bad I was born in Alaska.. I'd come back but my wife doesnt like it as cold as it gets there... also I loved going to Mccarthy

Alaska has a way of sticking with you! The winters are long for those that don’t like the cold 🥶

Thank you for giving a tour of beautiful part of Alaska

[@sheilaclaired]

My best friend and I took a six month RV trip from Texas, through British Columbia, and spent a month in Alaska. We came through Tok up to Fairbanks, down to Denali, then to Anchorage. From there we went to Glen Allen and down to Valdez. We then left back to Yukon through Tok and then to Haines. We took the ferry to Washington State. Our time in Alaska was so wonderful. I'm 73 years old (was 65 when we made the trip) and would love to do an interior tour some day. Glad you had fun!!

[@livingintheforest3963]

Thank you so much for this other wonderful video. I can see how to drive the other way.❤

I'm watching with my grandson Travis who's 4 and very funny. When you're pulling up to the signs and you say, okay this sign says, Travis looks at my screen and yells STOP! Before you had time to say Valdez to the right ..... I laughed so hard. I love it when you do these tour videos they are so informative. Until next time much love and many prayers. 💖💖💖

When I see Bennett I see Mark the way they move, talk and look . I see Mark in all the boys but him and Bennett are twins. I see Hunters passion of fishing ,hunting and anything outside like Mark. Westley I see you both in him he just a cutie and very loven. Can't forget Everett the baby for the time being is a mommy's all the way he's still learning to see to see where he belongs I think the next little KZbinr . But you guys have a wonderful family but I hope you get at least one girl out of the bunch.😊

I love watching how each of the boys change and develop their interests. Yes, Bennett is Mark’s mini-me with looks. Love our boys and excited to add 2 more babies to the bunch! Thank you so much for watching!
