If you can't view this video because of buffering - CLEAR YOUR CACHE OR CHANGE BROWSERS. Go to your internet history and empty your browsing data and cookies. KZbin support ran a diagnostic, it's not my video, so maybe just a glitch at the time with KZbin. Thank you for your diligence.

[@02rangerdanger]

Thanks Carolyn, I was able to watch this video today without any problems. All the waterfalls are beautiful!! Safe travels.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

tbird, thanks for trying again. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@sallymiller7310]

I was also able to watch it last night. Whatever it was, it cleared up.

[@kookoo8897]

I just watched it with very little buffering. Not sure what the issue was. All other videos play no problem. Glad I got to the beauty of BC. You should check out Nova Scotia at some point. That's the East Coast of Canada. Very beautiful!

[@superdayday3462]

Beautiful scenery. Capone looks like he is enjoying himself, you take care of yourself and capone, be safe on your travels.

[@tegmapat11]

Wishing you safe travels as you share the beautiful scenery our country offers! We so appreciate your taking the time to record all this for us.... It's almost as nice as seeing it ourselves. Well, not quite, but you know what I mean! Thanks, Carolyn!

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍Nice views. I love the snippets of history about the area too. 💞

[@thevioletlemon9176]

Couldn't get the video to play on the TV- but playing half way on the computer. Looks like a beautiful wonderful place!

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

Plus I've heard that British Columbia is beautiful..you're doing great lady

[@Patty-jj4en]

A gorgeous video Carolyn! Thank you 😊!

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

Enjoyed so much, thank you for sharing your adventure together with Capone!

[@destinationhappiness3452]

Thank you for doing what you do and sharing with us! Have watched ALL your posts and am continually inspired!

[@heathergentlyinthewind806]

It's great to see your new videos... you seem so fearless :) If I haven't said it enough... thanks for being you! Hugs to Capone too:)

[@kernowfairy]

Glad you are ok Carolyn...loving your trip ...great views...enjoy hun 😁😁👍👍xx

[@jeanninespinner2244]

Awwwww, what a great retirement for capone!!! Love you mom!!!

[@susiepittman601]

Beautiful scenery and great info. Thanks!

[@nfoss5656]

What beautiful scenery. Thanks for taking us along.

[@roarlyon]

I always travel with you in spirit Carolyn It is awesome I bet Capone is a happy camper. Stay safe and so glad you got to visit BC on your way to Alaska. Appreciate your sharing it with all of us .

[@gerbearjones6056]

Hi Carol , Hi Capone ... waves and smiles. I love this adventure

[@lolasaxby1399]

Great to see you! Love watching your journey! Thanks so much for the tips about where to and how to find spots to stay! Can’t wait for more! ❤️

[@karenk7310]

Beautiful area, so humbling...thanks for taking us along on this journey..

[@RakshadaShirley]

Pavilion Lake is very clear and blue in the Summer and lovely to swim in. My friends call it sky blue.

[@LindaWolfe20]

Beautiful video of the waterfalls awesome.... be safe out there... hope your enjoying your travels....

[@donnac1155]

I"m so glad you are enjoying Canada. Looking forward to your next video, thanks for taking us on this journey with you.

[@a.swifty1081]

You see beautiful places and find beautiful places AND it is sometimes hard work...driving to find that perfect fit for lunch, the night, meditation. Practice turning around makes perfect. I haven't done much with my Casita...yet! Looking forward to mastering that! (-8 As always, I'm grateful for your gift of sharing.

[@babygirlgibbs]

For some reason this video kept buffering so I didn't get to see much of it. But what I did see was cool like the waterfall with the cave by it. The logging road was kind of spooky. And then there's Capone who is always at home no matter where he is. Everywhere you go it's like he's been there before.😂He is such a good boy. Can't wait for the next video cuz I wasn't able to scratch my itch with this one.🌸😁🐾❤🌸

[@bovellois]

Agree you never know who you will meet on a logging road.

[@raydavison8498]

babygirlgibbs same here the new vids are slow walking

[@peggybowles22]

Mine is also buffering. Changed speed and the other things but made no difference. Seemed like every 7 seconds and it would buffer for about 15 seconds. Sorry.

[@onestep4me]

Buffering issue here too. Frustrating. I'll try viewing again tomorrow.

[@pamelajackson8491]

Yes my vedio keeping on buffing too I really want see it.

[@sherrydyne]

You always give us interesting facts and useful information in your videos, not to mention a gorgeous view of Alaska!

[@idahartman6888]

Hope you and Capone are staying safe.

[@kodeywhitewolf5756]

It's so beautiful up there Awesome waterfalls Seeing Capone in relaxed mode wandering around. You also seem more relaxed.....just enjoying the ride.......

[@terryminion7784]

By the way, I love your history lessons along your way!

[@martinallen6164]

Love your videos, Carolyn! You need a TV show. Please be careful out there. Take care.

[@carlalafata9489]

Great video! A little chilly for me! Lol beautiful lake & those things on bottom pretty cool! Be safe happy trails! Peace and Love ❤️

[@JoeCWales]

my best memory of driving the AK hwy was stopping at Laird River Hot Springs. Best outdoor bathing ever. it's east of Watson Lake but you said you might take that route southbound. definitely worth the time to check out as is the famous sign post at Watson. Atlin was the second best place in that area, kinda out of the way but again, worth it

[@SSandtheRVCats]

Beautiful campground! Thanks for sharing.

[@bovellois]

Stewart-Cassiar highwwy for sure, with views that will whet your appetite for the Yulon and Alaska, where the tallest mountains in North Amercia are located.

[@debjh]

Stunning beautiful...I’m so enjoying your trip!

[@kathyadam9932]

This is so beautiful. Thank you for the HISTORY of the area. As always I so enjoy this CAPONE is so happy in this beauty and so darn cute. Can't wait for more. Safe travels

[@laurabobay5607]

Have been following your travels....and I have been counting the days.... well, I took possession of my RV today.... YEAH!!! I am so excited! Will be doing some work on it and taking off in a week. I named her "Breeze" so I can ride the breeze. Happy thoughts! Hope to meet some of you out there soon!!!

[@whatifindinteresting3067]

soo awesome to see you going through the beautiful province of British Columbia, my home. it's stunning.

[@MartthaDeWolf]

I truly love watching you and Capone traveling thank you so much. I’m so inspired by you buying something to travel in after November. I have medical problems and on oxygen but I have a Imogene portable concentrator that gives me the freedom fo go anywhere. So y’all take care blessings from Texas 💕💕

[@pollywalker2586]

Great videos, love all the nature!

[@Leesaps]

Glad you are living the dream! Wish I could but glad to be able to see your bids.

[@damelanieg]

You're definitely doing it right (taking your time). My husband and I did Anchorage AK to Everett WA in 47.5 hours ....amazing sites but it's all a blurr! (we had a deadline we were meeting, definitely not for fun) The buffalo on the roads up north simply amazed me...hadn't seen them up close before.

[@kanuckbrewero6118]

I have stayed at the gravel pit a few miles west of Prince George. Also found small agates in the pit.

[@joycemarino9800]

Just think it might be a good idea to support the Park system of a country that you are visiting! The $18 fee for camping in such a beautiful spot seems somewhat reasonable since you are traveling on their roads in a somewhat heavy vehicle. It seems neighborly to me!

[@janiceehorton]

joyce marino

[@LovingAtlanta]

+ joyce marino - 👍Agreed, good point. She does support some towns by spending money shopping for groceries & fuel. 💞

[@dechinta]

@@LovingAtlanta I agree too, but she is just starting this trip and she will be coming back the same way. If I were taking this trip, not knowing what I would be facing on the way there and back, I'd be very stingy with my money until I knew I was on the home stretch. If I spent all my money before I even got to Alaska....but once I was on the way back, I'd be more willing to spend that $18 to thank Canada for getting me to Alaska and back.

[@LovingAtlanta]

dechinta - 👍True. 💖

[@bcbconklin]

Be careful of those side roads...taking different route back, good. Hwy 97 all the way back will take you along the Okanogan Lakes and then along the Columbia river. Coffee invitation at Starbucks will be open...hope you can take the time. I'll be following your videos...

[@Sparrowinparadise]

On your way back from Alaska, try to go to Farmer's Markets instead of the grocery store. You will get more local produce at a better price. There are often new vegan recipe ideas as well.

[@maeganbyerley]

Love how at the end of the video you showed my home town of Quesnel.

[@calmgirlify]

Nice video. Finally got it to play on my computer

[@cathybritt6312]

Love your videos and the history

[@noras.5355]

Nice~~it looks a bit chilli? I love how adventurous you are Carolyn. Continued safe and fun journeys!

[@UncleMo2]

I am so glad that in route to Alaska you are taking time to share some of the beauty/history of your traveling path. 👍It's always great to see Capone relaxing while out on his walks and enjoying the scenery :) lol Loved the singing. Safe and happy travels. Thanks again for sharing this amazing journey.

[@ColleenW2019]

I've been to Prince George! It's gorgeous up there. Fished in Tabor Lake, fish were practically jumping into the boat. Course this was back in 1974. Old fart, that's me. It's much more developed up there now.

[@RaivenBC]

I love that you are no afraid to explore the side roads :) we live in Quesnel which is near there and do a lot of backroad camping. so much to explore!

[@bellarosesmama2597]

The scenery looks lbeautiful. The video was a little difficult to watch though as it kept what I guess they call buffering or stopping every so often. Give Capone lots of love and hugs. Another very special puppy. You are so fortunate to have him as your traveling buddy. Have a wonderful time in Alaska and stay safe.

[@treysuniverserv1576]

Carolyn I hope everything is well with you and Capone in Alaska. Wishing you only good things and safe travels!

[@acutecatandhisthreehumans8020]

I can tell when you did your video, by the number and placement of your shoes in the camper. I think that's interesting. Kind of like something I would do. I used to live in northern Minnesota and this landscape makes me so homesick. I particularly like the quality of your videos, and love riding along and seeing the views. In Orlando there isn't any interesting views or stop over places that could hold a candle to up north, but my kids and I have a particularly strangle argument about reading signs found in state parks or wherever, they love taking their time reading them, and I hate it. But, I love listening to you read them. Maybe that's the key, make them read the signs to me as well. I don't think I am so much lazy, as that I want to get going and see the views and experience the park, but with your video, I get both at the same time. Thank you.

[@gilbertgonzalez7561]

Hola!"" Gorgeous thank you for completing that video it was very beautfuly made awesome I think, and thank you so much Mrs, Carolyn Rose, and Mr, Capone.🇺🇸🐶😘⛄💝

[@RaivenBC]

Forestry camp grounds, free. Usually backcountry. We use them a lot.

[@DanielJBaer]

Finally got the video to play. Good video !

[@yrankin1]

I know we are all happy to see your smiling face :). Enjoying every minute of this journey.

[@muazzammarzook7708]

Am enjoying all your shared videos too Carolyn!! Luv you and Capone! Take care always and keep smiling!! Mike M.

[@BarefootInAK]

I so wish I would have known about you when you were here in Ak! I so would have loved to meet you and Capone ... much love to you on your next adventures.

[@nkbbrigger3359]

So peaceful, soothing to ones soul! GLY!

[@cherylamie]

Very few turn offs to camp on most logging roads and those logging trucks are huge off-road to meet with truck let alone a motorhome . Enjoying your Alaska trip and since I live in Prince George bc I am enjoying the bc segment with your impressions of it

[@johnnypoppyhead4116]

U push a button an a drone which is parked -locked in a charging station on top of your Van . Is released and follows your camper up high in the sky .. and will automatically come back at your command or when it is running low on power. And you can view what it sees on a monitor in your dash... Easy now to check out what is around you..camp grounds ,lakes, roads ,ect... LOL ..I want one...

[@bike4peaceRTW]

A few tips about Canada: 1. All gravel roads are logging roads. 2. If you want to find a clearing for free camping just go to any lake on map. They'll all have either an established rec site or clearing where camping is allowed. 3. Don't sweat camping in a pull out off a logging road. People do it all the time and no one will bat an eyelash if they happen to pass by.

[@ianwharton7012]

Great travelling along with you

[@marysullivan1588]

Oh I bet that water is freezing cold ! So beautiful !

[@jaysuper8255]

Going north on the Cassier route you will notice the road becoming somewhat narrowing. Near the Yukon border they repaved about 50 miles back in 15' & 16'. The last part of the Cassier in the Yukon you will be treated to very twisty roads. The last 120 miles of the Cassier there are no gas stations, so fill up at Dease Lake. Boya Provincial Park Campground is "don't miss" stop...

[@monamorgan9452]

Paper clips work great to hold toilet paper or paper towels in place when traveling. I see yours is doing like ours once did, unrolling 😉

[@amaliamichele949]

good choice of music. enjoy the mini history tales

[@pennylee6569]

It is beautiful there thanks for sharing your video love yah Carolyn

[@angiewebb7538]

This video is about a month ago? beautiful scenery . I really enjoyed it. I keep forgetting that some of your videos are behind. LOL take care and see ya down the road Peace and Love

[@Daniel_Callie]

You are such an inspiration thank you!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Callie!

[@scottrussell9527]

Finally someone came to my neck of woods the nw.

[@freedomfred6518]

Another great video, thank you for making it.

[@rons3699]

Carolyn, i have followed you & Capone for about a year as a Patreon subscriber and look forward to your videos

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Ron, thank you so much. I appreciate all you do to support my work here and honored that you're on this journey with me!

[@judycarey9051]

Great scenery.

[@ksgmi]

Love waterfalls

[@akfr0zen]

Great waterfalls in Valdez.

[@MsSoozy]

you are so brave going down mud roads in a "land of the unknown"! Brave woman. I guess you didn't find the lake uh. Williams Lk area is where a few friends of mine live and had to fight fires last year. The whole of BC was on fire. Prince George, you will find all kinds of stuff there. Driven through, never stayed tho'. Beautiful BC. So glad you got to see some of the province. Can't wait to see more of your amazing adventure to Alaska!

[@luvublueable]

$18 is alot cheaper than all the wasted fuel and wear and tear on RV.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Well then I'll save the spots in the boring and 'cheap' campgrounds for you.

[@jamierupert7563]

Carolyn's RV Life Hahaha good one!! :)

[@luvublueable]

After watching more of your videos i think the correct response should have been " yes $18 would have been cheaper but i enjoy finding the out of the way places to stay. I enjoy exploring and found some great places that way.". but after your rant video basically bashing the male life your response was 100% on point.

[@pamwillems383]

I love it when you sing ! lol I have a question that I'd like to ask, Carolyn, Knowing the gas mileage that Class C's get do you ever come close to running on empty when you are on remote roads driving all over to find a place to camp. ? That would be scary ! Another great video ! NEXT ! lol

[@timetogodoug]

Hi Carolyn, I hope you are having a great time!

[@dixxebell]

WOW....how cool!

[@wesallen4228]

Nice.

[@valerieholmes3513]

Sadly all the way through video plays for 5 seconds and then stop for 10 seconds. No problem with other videos today. Lovely scenery though. Look forward to seeing more of Canada. Love Valerie and Bluebell 🐕 x

[@thebackroads7074]

Bears.....🐻...keep an eye out for them bears. thanks for sharing. 🙂

[@sallymiller7310]

This video won't load, as others have mentioned. Have watched all of Carolyn's and never had a problem before. I hope it's a temporary glitch. I'll check back tomorrow.

[@A10TOES]

For some reason can't get this video to play, I've watched other videos & no problem with them this one just isn't loading & I've tried three times.

[@haagatha]

I'm having trouble too. I've heard of other KZbinrs having this issue.

[@summerrains355]

I can't either, have tried 2-3 times tonight, will try again tomorrow, I guess.

[@summerrains355]

I don't know. I had this happen once before with another person on You Tube, never did get to see that video.

[@stormmary1]

Me too, never would load on my Roku player, was able to play it on my I Pad. Enjoyed very much then tho!

[@donaldmackay7970]

I can't download it either, Alaska is like Scotland where I live which is notorious for it's scenery, but it's great to see a different scenery, so I wish you and Capone all the best. D Bàn

[@patriciamckean4186]

Nice info, provincial camps. Their provinces are they're equivalent of our states.

[@jimeejohnston8522]

They call the cattle guards, “Texas Gates” in Canada. :)

[@robynholliday4794]

Hi love your vlogs! Me and my dogs are leaving for freedom - a trip around Australia - I’m 65 and have pomeranians

[@robynholliday4794]

We leave Tuesday 19/6/2018 . I have an app called WikiCamps- for free and paid sites all over Australia

[@patriciarussell7487]

Chilly? Man,it's 93 in fla! 😎💖💗💜

[@OurBucketListHasHoles]

Thank you again for taking us along 😘

[@UncleMo2]

It has been a bit since we have had an update. Im hoping all is ok in Alaska. Hoping its just bad internet connection problems. You are so awesome at replying to some of the comments that get posted by your subscriber's and ive noticed that you havent been able to do that. Safe and happy travels :) Hope all is ok and you two are just enjoying some peaceful down time with beautiful scenery.

[@davidbrickey5925]

Why we cant view the road Instead the inside the R V?

[@chickiebanana2552]

Close-together camp sites are definitely a "Canadian" thing - I've camped in the states and Canada and for sure Americans like their space! Canadians like to cozy up to one another 😉😉 I prefer the spaced out sites...I'm Canadian 🇨🇦

[@1BigOldBear]

Difficult loading/plaing... size matters..!!!

[@kimberlykimberly6773]

Prince George is a pretty rough city. Be safe. I would seriously consider staying where there's more people if you can.

[@patriciabee4690]

Kimberly Kimberly Hi. I will respectfully say that I agree. Please consider carefully where you will spend the night. Last summer we spent one night at Walmart waiting without any incident.

[@kimberlykimberly6773]

patricia Bee The highway between Prince George and Prince Rupert is known as The Highway of Tears. Lots of women have gon missing over the last few decades. If you look it up on KZbin you can find out more about it.

[@patriciabee4690]

Kimberly Kimberly last summer we went to Hida Gwaii from calgary and drove that highway. We loved the area but found that town a bit to rough. That being said we found the citizens we spoke with helpful.

[@kimberlykimberly6773]

patricia Bee Yes we have family and friends that live there. I'm sure there's plenty of kind people but some sketchy people to. We live in Prince Rupert. Haida Gwaii is stunning. I have only been there once by seaplane but I would love to go back by ferrie.

[@patriciabee4690]

Kimberly Kimberly Prince Rupert is awesome!!!! Wow. We took the ferry and booked a room for the four of us on both parts of the trip. Highly recommend it. On our way back we chatted with a First Nations elder who was from the north part of the island. We could have listen to him for hours.

[@carmenroupp653]

Love your videos , so wonderful that I and so many others can go with you on your trips. I keep watching your back lol to see if some thing is coming up behind you . I wouldn't be able to do any thing about it still I keep on doing it , must be the mother in me. I do not know if anyone else noticed this -however I did "wondering what that large hole in that large rock all about at 2:23 on your film .

[@airyellit8153]

If you go south down the Alaska highway you should turn off and go through Hudson's Hope... it is the most beautiful spot between Alaska and the US.. you would travel to the mouth of the Peace River... it is gorgeous and far nicer to drive that way than through Dawson Creek which is what most people do because of the mile 0 post but the mile 0 post is lame while the Peace valley is fantastic.... believe me I know what I'm talking about as I lived in Hudson's Hope for 15 years... I did drive the Dease/Cassiar Highway 26 years ago and it was just exquisite! Lot of dirt road though in those days.. but we were in a two seater rag top with two dogs and enough gear for a full summer! It was a blast! Namaste lady... :)

[@Bucketlistretreats]

OMGosh the only thing you're missing is a TOAD. You just need a lil Jeep behind you and you could go ANYWHERE!!! XO, Kelly ps loving the history too.... wouldn't mind more maps ;)
