Oh my! Beautiful Caroline trying on the dresses! It's happening! It tugs at a Mama's heart.... Some deal with change easier than others, so not to project, but i would probably find it both wonderful and difficult to be on the road, amidst all the changes. The beauty of nature is a solace, and you are incredibly happy for Caroline! We all are, who have come to know your amazing children through the years. No regrets for sure. You made the best decision.

[@ronvalderrama5765]

It's bittersweet when our kids grow up. The Blessings are still there, just a different. Soon, you will be experiencing having little grandgals & grandfellas added to the Epic Family. The legacy will continue for many generations. That my friend, is the ultimate blessing.

[@EFRT]

Thanks for your comment. Yes we agree, it really is a special new chapter in life. Have a wonderful Sunday.

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always EFRT. Glade to see y’all back on the move again this has been an epic adventure can’t wait until the whole family has time to come back together for an epic adventure together again. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.

[@stevethomas4095]

I don't watch all the time so that was a surprise. She is beautiful. Congratulations.

[@joelmullins8965]

I carry leveling block in my RV. Peter always finds the perfect rock. #nextlevel

[@megconlan8977]

Gorgeous! Caroline is a beautiful bride to be!

[@houstontexas4658]

A great episode, back on the trail and into the wilderness! While the island/cabin is my favorite it's good to get out and explore. And..OMG, Caroline!

[@lorenzogonzalez8695]

Congratulations Caroline may God continue blessing you and family!!!!

[@angelatoomey2337]

Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with your family such a privileged ❤️❤️❤️

[@flyfisher530]

So amazing to see Caroline in a wedding dress! She is such a beautiful young lady. Hopefully you make it to OXPNW, that would be awesome!

[@azdesertrat9104]

Wow! What an opening with Caroline trying on wedding gowns 🥲How quickly time passes! I've traveled across the northern parts of the US for nearly 14 years so I definitely can appreciate the need to get back on the road and just experience the beauty! I can't do that anymore at my age, but it's so nice that I can follow folks like y'all on YT and just live vicariously through you 😊So thank you for opening your lives to us on YT! Happy Father's Day Pete Sr. and all the fathers watching and following EFRT!

[@luzrucci5534]

Happy father's day to an awesome dad! What a lucky man marrying your daughter. She is an amazing young woman with values uncommon to many young people today. Wishing her the best God has for them!

[@EFRT]

Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@jkpanda7]

Happy Father’s Day Pete! We have been watching all of your videos since New Zealand, seeing your beautiful daughter in white its so emotional for me as a father of a future bride 🥹 thank you for sharing such a special moment ❤ God bless!

[@PiperPurdon]

A kiwi and parent too…your comment resonates with me … love this family and their adventures.

[@Barret-paddles]

Yikes behind here but glad to see you back on the road and looking forward to so many grand adventures to come ☺️💕🙏🏻 Barret

[@helenoneill1806]

Thank you for sharing such exquisite and rugged country, watching your highly anticipated videos each week bringsvsuch a feeling of harmony, joy and grounding in this noisy chaotic world. You keep reminding me of whats possible #Grateful P.s. l have long enjoyed your choices of music and as someone who adores music of most genre's, you consistently are introducing me to wonderful new discoveries. Thank you

[@EFRT]

Thank you. We are so glad you are enjoying the videos. I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@moniquevelasco20]

Oh my! Caroline looked stunning in all the wedding gowns. I teared up just seeing how happy and excited she was. Beautiful ride in Colorado guys. Looking forward to the next adventure. Happy Father's Day Pete and to all fathers in this amazing community. Love and be safe! ve

[@EFRT]

Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@602North]

Carolyn looks amazing and so happy. Watching these video's for a few years now and seeing them grow up. We, as followers/viewers/subscribers, feel a closeness to the family. I have a new granddaughter as of a month ago to go along with my 23-month old grandson. It all happens so fast. Again, so very happy for all of you. Many blessings 💛

[@EFRT]

Thanks so much

[@IronWolfOverland]

Agree - the San Rafael Swell is amazing. Driving through there feels like driving through Mars! You are living our dream. My wife Kathy and I are currently living in Ontario - but Ontario, CA. I haven't yet retired - probably 18 months or so away - but Kathy has. We are working out our empty nester overlanding skills! Love seeing how you two are evolving your approach (we have four kids who are now pretty much on their own).

[@IronWolfOverland]

About a week ago we drove south from the Little Belt mountains, then I-15 all the way down here. If you've never done it, check out some of the forest roads in the Little Belt Mountains off US 89 near Niehart, MN. Enough snow should have melted by now; although, some of the shelf roads are sufficiently narrow that the Rossmonster may make things a bit too exciting!

[@EFRT]

Glad you enjoyed the video. It’s definitely a fun new chapter in life but takes some time to get used to.

[@KAStodgell]

Caroline I am so happy for you, you look amazing in all of them.

[@229Reaper]

BACK ON THE TRAILS...awesome!!!!

[@barryraven4745]

Congrats to Caroline! It is hard to believe how fast time flies. The circle of life. The recent updates to OnX Offroad to color code the trails by difficulty is awesome.

[@jmarkley767]

Good Morning! Thank you for the scenery in Colorado and Utah it is so cool to see the differences than PA. Utah is so beautiful especially where you were last camping over night🏞️⛰️. Happy Father’s Day Peter! 😊

[@EFRT]

Thank you.

[@dtadventure4x4]

Happy Father's Day, Pete. Good to see you guys back on the road.

[@EFRT]

Thank you.

[@rosarioveliz8885]

Congrats Pete. It’s a special time you’re experiencing, so soak in the memories. Happy belated Father’s Day from a Michigander exploring Italy.

[@krismiller5474]

So stoked that you might be at OX PNW!

[@karelesterhuizen7117]

Happy father day Pete and I did mention two episodes back the man that meets your daughter is a lucky man, and here we are. Do agree in the episode that you informed us off their happy announcement he is that man. Enjoy the journey with you guys and you all must enjoy they journey more.

[@EFRT]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@annettec8555]

I loved the long sleeve off the shoulder dress, gorgeous❤️

[@izzybooth-nuku7137]

I wish all my sons were still kids and not grow up but that’s not how life works😊❤❤luckily for me I have one more to grow up and see the world when he is ready😢❤happy Father’s Day over there as it’s not Father’s Day here yet for us😊. Take care and stay safe, love the wedding dresses Caroline, they were all beautiful on you❤❤❤❤

[@explore_x_]

[@harvmac69]

What a cool adventure! I can hardly wait to get on the explore road again!!

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

And what a beautiful view as you guys drove to pic up Pete absolutely amazing❤ And Caroline was just stunning, in that wedding gown, gorgeous❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@EFRT]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@stevesancedo8821]

Been watching you guys on and off for a bit now! Wondered if your kids had partners. I use to fill sorry for them! They were always on the road missing out on sports,proms etc. But I guess public school now days has its issues and you definitely can’t learn survival skills and worldly travels sitting in a class room. Seems like your kids are very happy and starting there own adventures now. Congratulations to the bride to be. Safe travels.

[@TsarTrail]

Wow so much happening on this video. Beautiful bride to be, truck back, come through our home state CO, and watching you guys drive on so many roads and trails that we have been on. We love it!!!!!

[@theadventuresofsaltyjrover]

Happy Father’s Day from one dad to another can’t wait to get back out there and be in the wild once again

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Awe … wedding dress shopping. Beautiful bride to be. Can’t take in enough of Gods’ creation. Let Heaven & nature sing … 🇨🇦❤️

[@lindakoon8694]

Soooo excited!!!!

[@oldmanoldtruck]

What an uplifting, heart-warming episode! I love The Swell! I spent a week there exploring and would love to go back one day!

[@EFRT]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@jlatime2]

Happy Father’s Day, love this video, my beloved Colorado!!!! Safe travels!!!

[@EFRT]

Thanks so much

[@rosemaryshepherdsmith5110]

Love your rig, selling my rig, a Volkswagen crafter duel cab. It took dad and I over Australia after mum passed at 93. To big with me. I call my back seat a pod. I'll get good dollars as motor has had a re build. I'm 70 this year and want something 4x4 as I'm a real bushy born in our outback . And have itchy feet. Thankyou for your awesome vids.😊

[@edwinvargas1994]

Happy Father's Day

[@brunoperetti8381]

Hello my friends. I’m sorry, I write in French because my American is not very good 😊. Vous campez au bord de la falaise, c est très beau mais vous n’avez pas peur que la roche se décroche parfois ? Très heureux pour votre fille qui vas se marier. Amicalement Bruno

[@EisenhauerJanice]

[@gregschwartz8977]

Congratulations to your daughter and new beginnings, but I have to say WOW them are some BIG clothes hangers that they used for fitting her dress! Could she breathe?😂

[@QuietCottage]

Caroline in a wedding dress !!! So beautiful !!!!!

[@meanbean859]

Great episode! We have been wanting to explore the San Rafael Swell for quite some time now. Thank you for sharing!

[@EFRT]

It’s such a beautiful place. Lots to explore there.

[@ratnadipmajumdar8230]

What a outstanding location to drive through both the camping 🏕️ location was fantastic missing your beloved Lando his extra effort in running front of the rig is very perfect as if guiding you about the trail as if he knows about it. Marriage preparation has started. Being a father of a daughter I feel a daughter will settle with her husband one day and will start here family leaving us. That's the way life goes. Have a great great time and wonderful 👍 journey ❤.

[@josseeer]

Another epic trip , Happy trails you two and stay safe .

[@kai38]

The drone shots are great.

[@EFRT]

Thanks.

[@paulettepickering1880]

gute Reise

👍👍👍👍👍

[@Chrisamici]

Happy Father’s Day Pete, great video. What upgrades did you do to the Ross?

[@scotthemmen8717]

Epic, glad to see you on the road and in my backyard no less. From the Colorado river road to the swell. A lot of familiar ground, great spot in the swell I noted on a trip in February were we also saw a lot of wild horses just to the south. Did I see some out of sequence river shots in between Glenwood and Junction?

[@gailhalloshry410]

Another great episode but……4 commercials in 27 minutes! Yikes! Where’s Lando?

[@EFRT]

Thanks. I’ll look into the add placement. Lando stayed at the cabin with Dan.

[@MonarchAZ]

Happy Father's Day! I must've missed something. Where is your dog?

[@EFRT]

Lando stayed at the cabin with Dan. 👍🏻

[@MonarchAZ]

Glad he's OK. Seems odd to not see him running with you!

[@-Damawand-]

You're unique.

[@jeannelenhart9355]

[@letsseeyoutravel8364]

Thanks Pete on the pants. I am going to Colorado to look at the RossMonster this July thanks to you guys. I would love to by the EarthRoamer but out of my price range. How do like you Rossmonster so far? Is it worth it?

[@EFRT]

We absolutely love our Rossmönster truck. It has exceeded expectations for us 👍🏻

[@anuniran257]

greetings from Sri Lanka

[@vessmovie2591]

COME TO WAY KANAN BRO. DISINI BANYAK SPOT OF ROAD PLUS BEGAL 😂

[@montyjcm]

Curious what toughest trail was that you have taken the rossmonster on in your travels ? Seems plenty capable!

[@EFRT]

We did the El Camino del Diablo in Southern Arizona this winter. It had some pretty tough sections, but the truck handled it wonderfully. We have some videos of that posted from a few months ago.

[@user-el4mn4dm2d]

Hello you 2 Question please do you have a bathroom in your truck. Caroline looked beautiful trying on those amazing wedding dresses to find something she 👍 likes. Different scenery you are driving tho. I really liked that first place you parked at. Cheers ❤😊

[@donnapablos8752]

We’d love to meet you guys in person Oregon expo. We are leaving Hope Idaho where we live heading to the coast before we go to the expo Don and Donna.Hope Idaho

[@lisabyrn660]

Would you mind sharing the coordinates of that place you camped at near Gypsum? It would be much appreciated! Happy trails!

[@larrybriggs2920]

Caroline looks beautiful. I was always hoping she would go out with one of my Sons.

[@brianwritesel8505]

When ya'll back up on the rocks, is that to just level out the truck? Been wondering. Thanks

[@nicoleranger1293]

I love the song at 5:45. Can you share info on the artist/song? TIA

[@js-mv7ly]

Travelling into a location where the temp is 106, does not sound like fun. How/why do you do it?

[@EFRT]

It was only 95 once we got to our destination, and cooled off nicely overnight.

[@dval823]

Can you share the coordinates of the campsite along the Colorado River?

[@EFRT]

[@omarfernandez8576]

What do you airdown too, in this rig?

[@Captndarty]

Your driving edits were all screwed up. You were entering Utah then leaving the Eisenhower tunnel, Glenwood springs then Utah again.

[@lorrainedunbar4274]

HOW is it you have MONTANA plates if your Canadian ???????????

[@EFRT]

Carol is American 🇺🇸

[@lorrainedunbar4274]

You have to be a resident of Montana to have Montana plates. I cant live in California and have Montana Plates Just because Montana has no sales tax. I get asked by friends if I can do them a favor and licence their vehicles here in Montana answer is always no

[@pacosub999]

Hello family. My wife and I have been following each other for years. My level of English is basic, and we have always asked ourselves the same question: do you belong to a specific religious community? If so, would you mind telling us which one? Of course, there is no problem if you don't want to tell us. We are from Malaga, Spain. Offer you our house as if it were yours. Kind regards.

[@douglasreed5518]

Where is Lando ! No Puppy running down the trail
