Beautiful 👏👏👌🙌👍🏻

Scott viva signature cloth paper towels stick together. They are good for traveling and using on a picnic table when it is windy.

[@doubled5037]

My first video of you all since back in civilization, thanks for sharing. But no ice cream?!!

[@jackderrieres2676]

I love your banter :)

[@dianerizi9119]

Such a beautiful video! I love the way you filmed and the music you have selected. That takes hours and lots of practice. I wish I could do movies like this. Thanks again for sharing!

[@FromShetoMe]

You can do it!

[@lisareynolds5973]

Your filming is awesome! I want to tell you I’m a native Californian lived worked married had my kids in Tahoe, worked for national park service in Yellowstone for a number of years as well as a career elementary teacher in Las Vegas. We now live in salt lake area to be close to grandchildren and then the pandemic hit. Your videos have kept us going here. We bought the same bikes and then a small tab trailer. But unfortunately health did not go our way so I live right now thru your videos and I follow a lot. Your adventures take me places I might not ever get to see. Thank you so much❤Lisa

[@FromShetoMe]

What a sweet comment. Thank you so much. I wish you all the best!

[@pattyk8594]

Another great video! Love the music selection and the beautiful time lapse.

FSTM,;;HELLO,JOHN,&DEBBIE, ,fall,is a great time, certainly cooler,nice trips, looking forward to next time ,STAY WELL,,ENJOY, God Bless,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@judyrico7955]

I so enjoy your adventures and the info you share 🙂 Paper towel unrolling while driving...I squish the roll, so the cardboard tube is no longer round...just by doing that it doesn't get the momentum to unroll. Safe travels & many adventures.

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. I gave it a try on our last outing and should be a big help for when I forget to use my clip.

[@juanitasellshouses]

On travel days we clip about 1/4 inch of the towels together with one of those metal office clips. In stationary mode, we store the clip on the bungee that serves as our paper towel roll. Works great!

[@FromShetoMe]

I use a clip but my problem is remembering to put it on. I should put a sticky note on the dashboard.

[@roseperez9684]

I took a thin elastic/ bunge cord and made a loop with a cord toggle to put around my paper towels in my trailer to stop them from unwinding, I can also take the roll outside to use. Love your videos.

[@davidthomson5183]

We have an OnTour 2.2 and just completed Seattle to the Maryland Eastern Shore and back. 75 days. Your videos are great and appreciate the van life tips.

[@beverlyhendricks9456]

I love VIVA paper towels. They never unroll. 1 roll lasts and lasts. In 3 months I only used 1 and 1/2 roll.

[@FromShetoMe]

Will give them a try.

[@steves524]

Covered everything this episode , from Trout Farms to sleeping in casino car parks. Nothing worries you guys.. thanks for the trip..🚎

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

The 395 - one of my favorite areas! I know I went to the fish hatchery way back in my Mammoth skiing days, but I don’t remember that building. That was the worst paper towel unrolling ever 😂 I just set mine in a bin at the back of my counter now.

[@davidthomson5183]

Back on the road so soon after that epic journey! Thanks for tips on the Owens Valley.

[@alnolan8574]

Use a small bungee cord around the paper towel roll.

[@tljlucy31]

I absolutely love to watch your videos. You two go to the most amazing places. Thank you for sharing.

[@peppylady6426]

95 goes though my home area of Bonners Ferry

[@FromShetoMe]

Been there. Maybe even with Dave.

[@stan3497]

great job

[@camperab]

Wow! 👍 Thanks for your time and effort put in.

[@mikemanjo2458]

Your editing and film work never ceases to amaze me. So wonderful!

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. I struggle to feel like I'm making progress. Lots of plateaus and then a breakthrough. Rinse, repeat.

[@victoriagoingforit6183]

I have been a California girl most of my life living in Los Angeles and then the San Francisco Bay area. Finally at 65 I am going to launch my long-term road trip next year and the first thing I want to do is explore my own state. So much I have not seen especially on the Eastern side. This is a great video and well done. Reminds me how much there is to see right in my own state and I could probably spend a year just exploring here..

[@FromShetoMe]

This is my favorite book for exploring Owens Valley: www.amazon.com/dp/1497382475?tag=onamzfromshet-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=1497382475&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2621GWC943QDM&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin There is one for the Mammoth Lakes area and it is in my Amazon storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/fromshetome They will be your guide for countless amazing adventures.

[@alnolan8574]

Good to see you guys back out again after your long trip this summer!

[@forkintherode8236]

I hate to admit how many times towel rolls have been unruly for me especially when it rolls outside on the ground.

[@FromShetoMe]

You’d think we’d learn.

[@forkintherode8236]

@@FromShetoMe seriously

[@theoldgoat4525]

Just beautiful! I really love the time lapse photography.

[@craftytraveler9238]

Thanks for the fun video. As many times in my life that I have been to the Eastern Sierras there is still more to see. I think I have been to the fish hatchery in the late 1950's as a young girl with my parents. I was in the Sierras about the same time. My friend and I camped up at Twin Lakes, Bridgeport and Brown's campground north of Bishop. More places on my bucket list.

[@bobbydale1957]

Beautiful

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Always really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@ericnunn8856]

Such a cool part of the country. Thanks for sharing the video

[@mikemanjo2458]

Wow! Beautiful and informative as always. Thank you so much! Hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas! Much love, Jane in SC ❤️🙏

[@johnru1]

Love you and John, your research and content is the best of all You Tube travelers.

[@judyfeldman5066]

Lovely as always and we bought those clips for our paper towels after you showed me yours. I guess they only work if you apply them 😂😉

[@FromShetoMe]

😂

[@karentucker346]

Thanks for the memories! I grew up in China Lake (Ridgecrest) and spent my childhood camping in the Eastern Sierras. Back then I hated LA water and Power for stealing all the water from the area, but now as I’m much older, I’ve come to realize they also bought up a lot of the land too, keeping it from being developed and keeping it wild. I’ve appreciated that. Always a fan of yours.

[@FromShetoMe]

Exactly! Water would have meant over development and habitat destruction. My cousin was CO of China Lake NWS back in the ‘80’s.

[@always.wondering.wandering]

I'm going to have to go visit the fish hatchery, I haven't been there in years. Your insect was a Mormon Cricket and they can get 3 in. long. You two are making me want to get on the road soon. I will be heading to Az. in Jan. I'll have to do "Fall" Sierra trip next year. At least I get to travel via your videos, they are my favorites. Takw care now.

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks for the ID. Now I’ll have to look it up..

[@lifeofriley8160]

Debbie, we got a call yesterday our Silver Transit Van will be made January 20th. With shipping we expect to see it early spring. FYI. I Tweeted at Ford Motor Company, someone asked me for my order number, and 24 hours later my dealer called me with the production date. You may want to try that. Pm them to watch your episode when you talk about your order bring on hold. Can't hurt. Good luck!

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks for the tip. Ford says our order was closed out. The dealer says it is still an order. We don’t know what to think. Very frustrating but we have an appointment on Sunday with a different dealer who has a van on his lot.

[@lifeofriley8160]

@@FromShetoMe Good luck!

[@judilecompte9377]

Helpful tip: We use a paper clip on the edge of the paper towel roll. Haven’t had one roll off since!

[@FromShetoMe]

I use a clip too but sometimes forget to replace it. Probably need to hang it from a string so I'll see it dangling.

[@timsmith7625]

Thanks for the video and as I said before I had driven around the region in years past, but based on your recommendation have now started more exploration of the 395 and Owens Valley. Thank you for the inspiration!! Oh, hope you are happy with you new brakes!

[@FromShetoMe]

Very much.

[@vince8705]

As always , a wonderful video. Happy holidays to the both of you.

[@patsimmons9868]

Now that you have traveled to Owens Valley, I think it is only right that you make the rounds, Maggie Valley in NC and Lynn Valley in Canada. Sounds like a fun trip to me.

[@FromShetoMe]

That would be awesome.

[@bwbrady8372]

I believe you meant to say that Mt Whitney is the highest mountain in the contiguous United States, not in the continental US.

[@FromShetoMe]

Yes. Thanks

[@NelloCambelli]

If now, some day hike slowly down to a picnic at the Phantom Ranch and back up the Kaibab Trail. Did it several times once with a Swiss friend who called the hike an inverse Alp.

[@FromShetoMe]

We have tried to get a permit to hike rim to rim but have not been successful. Soon enough it may be unrealistic to think we can physically do it.

[@lacyhouse1]

I’m hoping for the Omnia for Christmas 🤞. I love my VEHHE Under Cabinet Paper Towel Holder with Damping Effect (from Amazon). It doesn’t unroll underway!

[@FromShetoMe]

I'll check it out, thanks.

[@rhondalyn100]

What a marvelous video! Your videography is spectacular, your voice well enunciated and modulated and your content interesting. A sweet little distraction to a gloomy day here in middle Tennessee. Thank you. 🙂

[@FromShetoMe]

Thank you so much. I’m never satisfied with them and need to get over trying to be perfect.

[@NelloCambelli]

Acalani’s Ranch also supported the hatchery and feature “submarine” trout.

[@FromShetoMe]

Need more info on that one.

[@David-jo4gt]

Great job on the video!! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@kristinkiel8890]

I'm taking notes! I love the way you give us so much information. My husband and I want to take off next year with our converted Promaster that he converted. I would like to know if your mosquito screens came with your van, or if you added them later. I modified some from screens I ordered on Amazon, but I don't know if they'll survive for the long haul. I think we'll eventually have some made by professionals! Thanks for your great videos!

[@FromShetoMe]

They came with. I did a video on Rolef, the manufacturers. They are the best.

[@kristinkiel8890]

Yes…Rolef is probably the way we would go. We live about 40 minutes from their shop! Thanks for the quick reply….I’ll try to find your video about it.

[@FromShetoMe]

@@kristinkiel8890 Aren’t you lucky. If you do, tell them I said hi. The video was part of our summer series, on way back from Newfoundland.

[@doncates2954]

Another beautiful crystal clear video. It is so much fun to feel like we are traveling with you. I wondered after seeing the sign as you were hiking, it said something like, this is wild county, be aware of the risk. Do you carry anything like bear spray in case you might need it ?

[@FromShetoMe]

Not in the Sierra. Never felt the need with black bears. But farther north we would.

[@santiagocarranco2733]

Today I'm watching your video 12-9-22. Did you say in another video that Humble Roads will be building a new van. I'm curious how long will the build take

[@FromShetoMe]

10 months to build...if we can ever get a chassis. We're stuck in limbo. Getting no help from dealer or Ford. Someone suggested we tweet at them. We'll give that a try.

[@santiagocarranco2733]

Thank you for reply

[@mickeydyke392]

Remember those snap bracelets. They snap on the paper towel roll and stop any unrolling.

[@santiagocarranco2733]

How safe are these campgrounds ?

[@FromShetoMe]

Very!!!

[@drreed917]

Squeeze the paper roll and it won't have tendency to unroll so much.

[@FromShetoMe]

Great tip.
