Camping Along a Wyoming Highway-Ryan and Ali Bike Across America-Ep 14

We take the term rest stop literally, and camp out amongst the big rigs.
I'm excited to announce that Ali and I are riding across the USA! We're riding Trek's new gravel bikes, the Checkpoint, and the goal is to take the road less traveled in search of great people and inspiring stories. Besides profiling the wonderful people along the way, we'll be asking everyone for LOVE advice. Our route will take us from Oregon to New York and WE WANT YOU to help out. If you have any ideas of places to visit, friends to meet, or burritos to eat, find us on social media and point us in the right direction.

I squeezed in time to edit a video, hooray!!! Thanks again for following the adventure...hope the House of Wonder part didn’t give you weird dreams:)

[@luitgi]

I was starting to get worried Ryan...I was ready to prepare a special search and rescue :)

[@biketothetop]

The House of Wonder is just the kind of place that validates your trip with a discovery of creative, uncommon, nostalgia and art. Thanks for sharing it. It belongs on everyone's trip stop points.

[@scotthale3358]

While it was weird, seeing what has become of the rest of the town was heart breaking. So much of small town America in the western half of the country is dying. I am glad that it is still alive in the eastern half.

[@positivegradient]

This whole series is like the greatest movie/TV show. It's got all the ingredients - jaw dropping scenery, great music and photography, and two happy and interesting people to spin the tale. I cannot believe you created something so relaxing and watchable, yet monumental. Living vicariously was never so much fun.

[@duzer]

Thanks my friend! Your kind words mean a lot to us.

[@jcjc7783]

I’m going back and rewatching this series just like people do with the office

[@FredWiegand]

Ryan Tinnelli is an AMAZING artist! He did my tattoo, and the house of wonder is a real passion for him. It’s so cool you showcased it!

[@duzer]

We loved it so much!!! His vision makes me happy

[@gravelsasquatch6430]

Nothing beats a fancy bean burrito for dinner.. Duzer, your UAV flying skills are superb.. Stay strong and share them smiles for the whole World to see!

[@HennieJHC]

Accept what you can’t change. Change what you can’t accept. Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. Sometimes the wrong choices brings us to the right places.

[@hstravis]

Really enjoy following your adventures and your positivity. I don't understand why your channel doesn't have more subscribers.

[@michaelthomas7968]

I have been watching you guys the entire trip. So jealous. I live in Colorado Springs and like you Ryan have no car only my bikes. This makes it extremely difficult to find a partner, you two give me hope. Keep keepin on!

[@artatexture889]

I lived in Dubois for over a decade, worked at the cowboy cafe as a waiter for 6 years, my girlfriend and I are now camp hosts in the summer outside of Dubois. I love Dubois Wyoming.

[@alexharris5985]

Thank you again for this video Ryan & Ali.... OMG😯!

[@melissadidericksen3024]

I am laughing so much at this it is like an outdoor bathtub!

[@DecadesofDecayON]

That building was crazy!!! 🤘🤘😎

[@celestehavener2848]

Always a treat to hear your stories. Glad that you enjoyed Wyoming, and love the 'love advice'. You two keep our hope in humanity alive!

[@duzer]

trying our best!!!

[@bhgant813]

NO BEARIES!!!!!! :) Just found your channel. Even though ya'll may not be with each other anymore, ya'll created something special with this series.

[@azulandwill]

Ryan, Ali- thanks for posting a new episode! Your videos are full of positive vibes, made me really happy to find new video!!!! Ohhh and fancy burrito- with avocado!!! Lol -Take care guys!

[@kevinkrayna3097]

16:41 in...LOVE it. What fun!

[@elevenpine7508]

Glad things are going well for you guys!! Great episode.

[@biketothetop]

Ryan and Ali: I'm lovin' and sharing your trip with others! The drone footage is always a big plus to share the perspective of the surroundings of your trip. I know it takes so much effort to manage the vlogging and scenery documentation, but as you know, they have big dividends for everyone watching! I learned about sprinklers and parks when I backpacked and hitchhiked across the USA... they are misery makers! Seek high and dry instead! 7:30 cool older gentleman! "If it is to be, it is up to me!"Great words to live by and easy to remember! 5x2+5x2=20 12:30 Beet greens yummy and healthy! Nice to meet someone in the boonies that knows good food!

[@pamelajoy67]

What an epic roadside attraction!

[@duzer]

Pretty sweet!

[@markwhite4295]

That cartoon theater was strange but cool. Glad you got to experience that. I've been waiting for this next one. Nice!

[@adrianc1577]

Awesome guys thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@tanyathompson27]

House of wonder! That was indeed bizarre!

[@johngrossbohlin7582]

I totally got the rest stop.... it was a welcome find when my 15 year old son and I rode through there on the Trans America route... The shade was greatly appreciated and we met some interesting people there. By coincidence were there on July 29, 2011 and your publish date is July 29th...

[@duzer]

whoa, what a coincidence!! Loved that rest stop

[@GustavoMoura]

So inspiring!

[@rosariolobo7192]

No crashies, no whammies, no flatties, no bears!!! At mark 2:37 before Dubois I love your choice of song and your great timing for it. Your perfect narration, love for life, skills... oh my word! Skills! You got them! The House Of Wonder didn't give me weird dreams but it gave me inspiration to make my own. Can't wait for this new video coming up tomorrow. Love!

[@marcelvandervelden3081]

2 people need 2 check there heads ... what an amazing trip...what a beautiful country !

[@qqqqttttqqqqq]

luv the bag of greens...

[@TheTWhite]

That was SERIOUSLY intriguing. What an experience. Thanks for editing even though you had mentioned taking time away to be in the moment. That was a great update!

[@mark-1234]

Really like the drone footage.

[@paulespinoza7172]

If you two only knew how hard it is to watch your videos, you are doing something I want to do sooo badly especially with the great people you meet along the way. Someday maybe when all the stars align it will happen. You guys are sooo lucky congrats's.

[@duzer]

We are loving it, and it's the people who make it magic! You'll get to experience this, the stars are aligning!

[@tehblizz]

Thanks so much for the upload, great way to start the week!! :)

[@marybachmann]

What a cool place! Lucky find. And a lucky meetup, too! And like he said, lucky to find love.

[@gbahde]

After the twilight zone house of wonder viewing. I have to go to bed. I think your background music creeped me out in the “HOW”. Cause now I am skeered lol. Great show. Hope the both of you are doing well.

[@dennisdownes9319]

Wow......the deserted main street was almost as creepy as the creepy basement!

[@duzer]

I agree!

[@MM-nm6uw]

Woohoo! I’m so glad you loved my home state! It is soooo beautiful with lots of beautiful people in it!

[@bzwvrs01]

Hi Ryan, excellent series of videos, having a lot of fun looking at all of them, these ones are really great with a nice message about meaning of love and life.. Nice effort too crossing the USA.. I love you ride my bicycle in Germany along the Rhein and Main near by Frankfurt and Mainz.. I use to do Quick videos too but posted on Facebook only for family and friends.. Thanks for your nice work.. Sergio..

[@jimmyyoo19]

Enjoy watching you guys ..best of luck to yoy guys..

[@expatadventureturkey9324]

Warm weather is key, but the cost is critters☠️ Haha 😜👍🏽 awesome video

[@jazztime4847]

I've bike'd through Dubois, Wy. Another great video by you 2. American's are great ambassadors, it's the few bad eggs that everyone sees and hears about. Ryan and Ali gelling lol, looks like the bond is getting stronger. I'm stuck in NoBo, I get the same old boring ride to Ward. Be safe out there.

[@normanmitchell9536]

Another great one !

[@sagehiker]

I was wondering when Ryan and Ali were going to pop up, and there you are in Shoshoni! I have never driven right through, I always have to stop and get the cameras out. But now the House of Wonder and the Cartoon Theater, too much. I keep thinking about gravel touring north into Montana, but maybe coming down south, through the Bighorns and into Shoshoni, then the Red Desert and into Western Colorado is a better idea in 2019. I was a AZ child and irrigation ditches were our swimming holes.

[@kpj5]

Super editing! Really fun watchin the crack!

[@randyjorgensen7211]

As a person who has been through many small towns over a lot of years, I can definitely say every once in a while you will come across something that will make you say "What The...………?"

[@twobiketravel4780]

We are following your trip guys!! Amazing videos and breath taking landscapes ! We are planning our own bicycle trip and your videos are helping a lot! Congratulations for this amazing experience. See you!!

[@duzer]

Thanks! Where are you planning to ride?

[@twobiketravel4780]

@@duzer we are planning to go next year, around September. We live in Windsor, Canada and will start the trip in Detroit and bike all the way to San Francisco.

[@chrisbailey2861]

I saw it. :-) Around 15:29.....a PeopleforBikes sticker. Too cool!!!! :-)

[@jefevadc]

What a pleasant surprise! Another stellar episode; 18 minutes just fly by. Still being in the same place at the same time as other wonderful humans. The inspiration & love continues! As always, thank you for sharing. [Low Ali voice] "Doo ittt."

[@jefevadc]

p.s. Congratulations on the 25K!

[@MrJaree]

You guys make my ❤ happy. Canal=ditch lol

[@alexandergarland77]

Hey guys glad to see your doing well I am sooooo Jealous you guys are freaking awesome

[@jimmyjohnstone7258]

That was a lovely meeting with the van dwellers with baby. As for my tip on love advice, do lots of things together but also make time for doing separate activities.

[@heyuechang]

Loved this latest installment of your trip! I had to laugh at the battle with the sprinklers. You just can't make stuff like that up!

[@ernieroberts56]

The cartoon place is now on my to do list. It is marked on my atlas .

[@standardannonymousguy]

Hi Ryan, great channel, I am thoroughly impressed with your great content. I'm sorry to hear about the idling commmercial vehicle throughout the entire night indubitably impacting your quality of sleep. In some states that is illegal, but it appears that no such law exists in the state of WY. Wishing you lots of fun and good rest. Thank you for staying so positive.

[@duzer]

Thanks Lucas! It was only one night luckily, most nights on the road were very peaceful. Thanks for watching!

[@duzer]

Thanks Lucas! It was only one night luckily, most nights on the road were very peaceful. Thanks for watching!

[@genewest7690]

be safe you two, continued success!!!

[@JTFOSSO]

Good stuff duz

[@pepperman8038]

I bet that when you took a bath in that “canal”, it made you sing this Jody Mitchell song “I wish I had a river “ 😝 lol

[@aakew]

I have followed you from the beginning of the journey. Interesting videos that show parts of the United States. Från Sverige till Ali: 🌺🌺

[@duzer]

Åke Wittzell heja Sverige!!!

[@Parker-oc8es]

Cutest baby!!

[@davidcamp9119]

Love the rattler shot! Thinking you reinacted that and shot it with the landed drone. You guys are creative videographers. Should have dRopped him some beet greens🤣. Nice to watched some bike riding that isn’t done by a bunch of money fueled dopers. Keep on crankin.

[@MilesCobbett]

I'm going to remember that, "Put yourself in the right spot and you meet great people."

[@tonycastro6805]

Love

[@smd888]

lived in Cheyenne for several years but did not know this place existed, too bad, would have visited

[@yukiinu5534]

Yes, in hot country rest stops that have green grass you can be sure that sprinklers (not these little sprayers) but full on rotating oscillating powerful yard shooters will come on in the middle of the night. They will hit you while you are sleeping in the table/bench/covered area. It was 93° at midnight so even though it "rained inside my sleepingbag", my bag was dry by morning, but it was a lesson learned to not camp by green grass in hot areas.

[@Lughnerson]

Different style video from the rest. Still makes my day to watch. Please contact me when you get to New Paltz and I will buy you both a meal, maybe ride a bit when you leave. Unless I am off on my own adventure riding in Vermont (Island Line) in August sometime.

[@richardstoffel6585]

Just want to say i started. Watching these videos now presumably a little after your trip. They are inspiring... i started cycling about the time you both started your journey and doing my first 20miles i was like crap!!! How do people do this?? Can I ?? I must say now i ride 60miles this year (2019) when winter breaks i do plan on making my first century and would like to do an overnight bike packing trip. So thanks!!

[@duzer]

nice job Richard! Long distance biking can be a little intimidating at the start, but your body slowly gets stronger, and before you know it, it all comes together and 60 becomes much easier. Happy trails my friend!

[@c-jaybows8640]

I cycled thru there last year, wish I would have explored more

[@jackshults9197]

Keep up the ride you too wish I was with you ✌️

[@rustyhealey6861]

Oh the sprinklers bring back night mares of our bike trip . The local police let us stay in the city Park and at 3am our campsite that was on on the pavilion got hit with 3 water cannons of sprinklers .;] Bob and I jumped out of our tents and had to man handle the sprinklers till the timers went off . The local Sheriff came by gave us towels and blowers to dry off and then loaded us up and gave us A ride to the next town . He made us Honorary Deputy's and gave us Badges Thank you for the drone footage will incorporate one when we return in may 20 19 google Bob Quicks Journeys . Why do you not have A stove? the menu is endless

[@duzer]

haha, good to know that we're not the only ones fighting sprinklers :) .

[@mvs3553]

Always love to hear foreigners views on america.

[@conanfa18]

Ryan and Ali. Hope all is well! I am a routine viewer, dating back to many of Ryan’s prior treks. Can you share the diet choice (seemingly) built around beans? Is it more scientific than just convenience? I am curious about bloating and potential discomfort while riding? Thanks!

[@duzer]

CONAN-FA18 first of all, we love beans. Second, they’re easy to travel with and put on tortillas. Third, no bloating problems, maybe because I have a lifetime of eating them. I’m glad that I never get sick of them...and lots of good protein. Hope that answers it.

[@conanfa18]

Ryan Van Duzer Many thanks! I assumed the calorie content and protein...and the taste. I’m a San Diegan, so lots of great Mexican food. Add the cheese and avocado..hot sauce..good tortilla....life doesn’t get much better! Thanks and happy trails!

[@kristine6996]

WoW ... "if it is to be, it is up to me" 🌈😘

[@duzer]

Kristine Willems good wisdom eh?

[@krazykat3063]

That love advice didn't work out. Very sad but ride on Duzer👍👍👍

[@duzer]

It didn't work in this case, but all of the advice we got is good for any relationship...and lessons on how to treat other humans in our lives with respect and love

[@noobmaster-dm7tu]

Interesting that Matt was wearing a "bicycle" tshirt

[@mv80401]

And the hat was for a high end bike manufacturer, too...

Hello Ryan! One request... Could you write down your motto? No crushes, no flatties... That sentence you repeat every now and then while biking.. Find it very funny, but, not being English, I don't understand it completely. Thank you! :)
