ANCHOR POINT BEACH! We have NEVER seen a Beach Like This!

[@518travelers]

Ive been an avid viewer of your videos for about 2 years now. This series has by far been the best. I retire from teaching in 21 months from an upstate NY district and my plan is to drive west across Canada and into Alaska. Your videos will be invaluable in regards to the places to visit byt also where to stop to spend the night boondocking. Thx for this great series!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@518travelers thank you so much! We will try to do a summary of Alaska. What we learned, what surprised us and of course what we loved!

[@conniewaite1371]

You dont show ordinary places,you show extra ordinary places. Bravo!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@conniewaite1371 thank you! I’m glad you appreciate the things we like to see as well!

[@lisabeare2366]

Beautiful pictures if the eagles...

[@ladikmk]

Every one of your Alaska videos has shown us something so very special. This one was starkly beautiful - what a huge, incredible beach, and all of those Eagles in one place. I would have sat on that beach for hours just watching them with you Carrie. Dave, that boat launching was fascinating to see - what an amazing process because those aren't little boats. The orange wildflower you asked about is Fox and Cubs - Pilosella. It grows in alpine regions & Alaska, and is considered to be invasive there. I also saw what looked like Wild Geranium & Lupines in the wildflower area, and Wild Yarrow when you were walking back to camp. Such an interesting video - thanks for sharing with all of us, and hope you both recovered quickly from your colds.

Amazing how the tractor bring & pull a boat to & off the water. Love the Eagles, crows & other birds !

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@dianabalto we thought that was so interesting! We were at another spot a few miles up the road that was much steeper and they were trying to pull a small boat up by hand except the waves kept washing over the boat filling it with water. Also very interesting to watch! They finally pulled it up with a truck😃

[@meglange3595]

I loved this video!! From the "so cool" boat launching to the wild flowers and coal gathering to the EAGLES!! Dave, you did Carrie proud!! And I loved, loved hearing all the bird calls. It was amazing to see so many eagles peaceably eating alongside the gulls and ravens. And your camp site was just beautiful. The yellow tent looked so cozy snuggled into the pines. I could just envision being there. Carrie, I'm so sorry you had to endure a yucky cold, and Dave too if he caught it. I'm confident you're both feeling better by now and back along your journey 👍. Oh, and the eagles in flight shots at the end were absolutely GORGEOUS!! Thanks SO MUCH for sharing it all. I smiled all the way thru 😊. Take care and see you next time. 🥰🌿♥️ P.S. Roodle's coat length looks really nice right now. Kind of a perfect in-between. 😁♥️😍

[@3generations393]

Y'all take care and get well soon. Carrie is extremely talented Dave but your awesome as well. That drone footage of the tractor was incredible. I wonder if they can only launch when the waves are calm? The eagle footage is so spectacular and the volcanoes -WOW. Is that why they call it "Cook" Island? Thank you both so much for this great adventure. Sendin Grandmama love ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾. Hugs to Roodle 😘

[@Julied319]

Beautiful pictures of the eagles!! 🤗

[@Volunteersunrise]

Great video Dave. I hope Carrie is feeling better. You did a fine job but Carrie was missed. Fantastic drone shots and good seeing Roodle. Miss you guys.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Excellent job filling in! I hope Carrie feels well soon! Until then, you've got this, Dave! I have to agree that the tractor launching boats was so cool! I love seeing new crazy things!

[@nancyskean6425]

Carrie, the music at the end of your video paired with the still shots of the eagles was just magnificent! Dave, I also enjoyed watching the boat being picked up. I had never seen that either! Your adventures just keep coming! Feel better soon.

[@no_worries_van]

Dang that was a good boat loading! Love the footage of the eagles, they are so majestic!

[@billsmith7357]

Morning Dave and Carrie. On the topic of bald eagles, look up Land between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky. Hundreds of eagles hang out there in the winter. Lots of other things to see and do as well. As an added bonus, you can swing by Cincinnati and visit with us. Great video this week as always. Thank you. Bill and Ellen Smith

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@billsmith7357 oh adding that to our list of “must see”! It will be a few years before we venture east again. Next year will be a much slower pace and we will definitely be working a seasonal job as we are currently sitting outside of anchorage waiting for a new transmission to arrive for the van! More to come on that soon!

[@julien2912]

Carrie and Dave you out do your self in EVERY video you do, especially in the ones in Alaska. As I have said so often I don't understand why you don't have 500 thousand subscribers by now.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank you so much! The no drama, no clickbait, no skin just doesn't pull in the numbers...LOL I'm okay with that as long as we are still slowly growing.

[@CorndogCaravan]

What a great place! Ray and I both have colds too!!!! Hope y'all are feeling better by now and continue to have a blast.

[@debbiejohnson5550]

Hoping you are feeling better soon. And Dave you video was great.

[@snowbirdlady7221]

So interesting! I have never heard of a tractor launch. I thought it would take all kinds of maneuvering to get back on the trailer, but they zoomed right on! They must have lots of experience. I think those were ravens. Ravens are much bigger than crows and have a larger, thicker beak. The last time I was at Yellowstone, I was walking around Old Faithful and heard a weird bird that sounded a little like a turkey gobbling. I looked up in a tree and saw a raven doing his best turkey gobble imitation. Each time he gobbled, he hunched his shoulders up and he just kept gobbling and gobbling. I laughed a long time over that one! Feel better soon.

[@jkandkiminthecamper]

Beautiful pictures of the eagles!! Hope you feel better!

[@danrandall794]

The eagles were awesome but I am with Dave on the boat launch. Very expensive for a private boater but fun to watch. Looks like you might be able to launch with a little lift in a 4wd pick up.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@danrandall794 the boat launch was very cool! We did see some private fisherman pulling small boats in and out with 4 wheelers!

[@freedomdove]

Wow, what a boat launch service! Lol. That was fun to watch! I've never seen anything like that.

[@mistygreene6754]

Positive vibes and prayers for Carrie hoping see feels better soon great job helping tag team some filming Dave

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank You... a few days of rest was just what I needed. I did force myself to get out and visit the eagles. Dave did a great job.

[@martykong3592]

: ) WOWO! THANKS MUCH for sharing! LOVED IT! ! ! ! ALL the BEST and Cheers ! ! ! : )

[@terrynewell8968]

Beautiful video! In Wisconsin, we call that orange flower an Indian paint brush.

[@luckyjim51]

When I was in Alaska They pulled the well pumps on sept 15 and closed the campground on the 27th. some were still open....

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@luckyjim51 makes sense! The snow is getting lower in the mountains each week! Still more tourists here that we thought there would be this time of year.

[@monicamestas7566]

Feel better, Carrie. A lot of interesting stuff in this video.

[@craftytraveler9238]

Thanks for the video. love the eagles, and the boat launch technique was interesting.

[@tacrewgirl]

It's awesome you got to see the tractor launch. Great drone footage. It's so much fun to see and do It's because it's the huge tidal changes. You'd have to make and maintain a huge launch. I like how much you're showing Alaska's beauty unlike many RV channels that solely complain. It's not Disney and the beauty of the state isn't going to be served in platter right at your doorstep. You have to talk with locals and put in a bit of effort. You've talked about coal and the tractor launch which aren't normal tourist highlights. Awesome video!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@tacrewgirl thank you! We watched another channel who left on a boat over to see the bears at this exact location and never showed the tractor launch….. we just thought that was so cool!

[@tacrewgirl]

@@oneadVANtureatatime The tractor launch is way cooler than bears! 😁😁

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

@@tacrewgirl well…..don’t know if I would go that far😂😂😂

[@mistygreene6754]

The orange flower look like Hawthorne/Hawk weed Wich in Washington is a noxious weed unfortunately but I do love them they are beautiful 🤩 Thanks for sharing the Awsome experiences with us great videos..love seeing the eagles,seagulls,and crows

[@carolinenunez3455]

There is a very interesting setup at Port Orford, Oregon. It’s called a “dolly dock”, and it is one of only two in the US, and six in the world. The boats are hauled in and out of the water by cranes and loaded on dollies or trailers. Really fun to watch. Not sure of the reason that the boats can’t be stored in the water; too shallow maybe, or too exposed to the open ocean.

[@nancyseiler2844]

Who got the great pics of the eagles? And the launch vehicles: I shared with my sister cuz soooo unusual. I guess there’s way more jobs out there than one can imagine.

[@cookimozdziock8146]

We were there in 2018 and watched this go on. When they came back the boats dumped all the fish guts on the shore and lots of eagles came in to feed.

[@GATORADDAM]

Feel better. Enjoyed the video as always.

[@Rashnak66]

that tractor launch area would be so cool to see in tilt-shift via drone

[@nancyseiler2844]

Even before you said it, I was cynical that that bag could hold all that much coal. But, fun to try. I remember as a child living in a house that had a coal - what, cellar. Never saw coal in it, but my mother told me what it was.

[@susankelty4814]

thank you for the post, hope you all feel better soon

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@susankelty4814 thank you! I knew I was going to get sick from that cruise a few videos back! It was so rough you had to always have two hands on something to just move around the boat. I usually try not to touch things that lots of people have touched. That and being confined all day with 80 people🤷‍♀️ it was worth it! I slept for 2 days straight and made myself walk out to see the eagles 🦅🤷‍♀️✅

[@lannyandroxanneadvantures2546]

So Jealous, I hope we can make it up there someday. Watching the Tractor launch was cool, and all the Eagles!!! Jealous!

The orange flowers. Im not positive, but could they be a type if poppy?

[@leoblumhagen644]

Early settlers tp this area used the coal for heat and cooking

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@leoblumhagen644 yes! If we lived near an area where it was readily available we would use it too! In our tiny house that we have yet to build lol

[@dianep3071]

Dave your looking scruffy ya need to shave

[@ginakropf9014]

My husband and I look forward to your videos every Saturday morning. We live on Puget Sound in Washington State so this Alaska terrain looks very similar to home, but on steroids! I have to ask…. Why not just build a boat ramp? It seems like it would need to be a long one but would probably be much more efficient if it were possible. Thank you so much for your amazing videos and I hope Carrie got better quickly! 🩷

[@tacrewgirl]

It's because of the huge tidal changes of Cook Inlet and because it's a shallow sandy beach. It's not good for a permanent boat ramp.

[@bertkelly7650]

Good job Dave! My wife is recovering from a cold also.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@bertkelly7650 thank you! Two full days of sleep for Carrie and a week off from filming got us back on track!
