CANADA BORDER CROSSING. Closing down Canada. Snowbirds? RV Travel. RV Fulltime Living. RV COUPLE

This has been a Wild RV Adventure all summer with a lot of boondocking but there are limits. Yukon closes for winter and winter starts early up north! We've got to go for several reasons both weather related and legal issues which may arise by October 1st. We're not Snowbirds but we are going to "migrate" back to Alabama.
It's September 20th and we have 10 days to make it across the border and stay legal on the roads in Canada. We don't have M/S tires on the RV so we have to be back in the USA before the October 1 deadline. Everything is closing on us up in Canada and the Yukon so we need to head south.
Getting water for our trip south is proving to be a challenge as the campgrounds in Whitehorse, Yukon are shutting off their water spigots for winter. After calling around we find a place which meets all our needs.
Driving down the Cassiar we enter several wildlife corridors and rainy weather. We see snow on the mountains so we can't "dilly dally".
We want to drive across Saskatchewan since we have never been through that province before and it's "on the way home". But what are moose doing in the southern part of Canada?
Our RV is a Thor Magnitude so we hope it survives but the views are magnificent, awesome and stunning so the trip is a once in a lifetime event.

RV Camping
We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.
We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to KZbin channels Suite Travels and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks and believe it or not, I actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well.
Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in our discovery of What's Next.

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.
Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.

[@katebarker5612]

Thank you for taking me with you on your trip. I have really enjoyed all your videos, your commentary, your humour but most of all the fantastic photography. The drone shots of your travels give a real idea of the vastness of the scenery and the stills of the animals were just wonderful. Once again, thank you for letting me join you once a week and for showing me such a fabulous country.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're very welcome, Kate. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching the channel. 😁

[@LowLightMike]

As a Canadian (Vancouver Island resident), I will use this Video Title as my excuse for not getting anything done today, this week, this month and maybe until next Spring. Thanks ! It feels great to be closed (a good time for some peaceful rest, haha) But seriously, thanks for all your work on this video, showing all this scenic beauty. I appreciate this, and the entire series.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 glad we can help! I'm sure all of Canada doesn't close but for RVers it sure feels like it. Enjoy the winter break! Thanks for watching.

[@tarotbyamber7233]

How close are you to America?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

@@tarotbyamber7233 we're back in the US and enjoying the holidays. Hope yours are merry and bright. Thanks for watching.

[@richardsmith5380]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're very welcome, Richard. We can't wait to see what's next!

[@PontiacDad]

I grew up in Fraser Lake, was the Deputy Mayor for 8 years. Also lived in Stewart in the 80's. Lots of great memories, thanks for sharing.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Very cool! Wow! We know important people now! Beautiful area. You were very fortunate to be able to experience it. Thanks

[@mimi5117]

wow cool ... i have been in the Yukon, BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Hope you enjoyed it all.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We did and it was all so different and very unique. Thank you for watching the channel.

[@rogerneal1459]

Your trip up to Alaska and the Arctic circle. They were some of the best videos I have ever seen. Thank you for taking us along God bless you.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you so much for the gracious comments, Roger. We enjoyed the trip a lot.

[@luzrucci5534]

This was an epic trip with you guys. Funny, entertaining, informative and over all fun. Thanks for taking us with you. God bless

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel. Thank you. 😃

[@vickimiller6991]

There is a movie in your videos. What a joy your videos bring to those who follow you.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. We enjoy sharing our experience.

[@ericnunn8856]

That was one hell of a ride/ thanks for sharing this adventure. Welcome back to the states

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. Oh man, was it ever! A little more than we planned... but fantastic.

[@Sushi2735]

My grandfather always said, “Never go and come the same way twice”. That way you always have new things to look at ❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Smart man! For us, the journey is truly part of our travels and we enjoy taking different routes for that very reason. 😊

[@christygr]

I’m getting teary eyed knowing the Alaska trip has come to an end and I won’t be getting my weekly dose of Alaska. I have thoroughly enjoyed traveling with the 2 of you. You are entertaining, informative and just clean fun. Thank you so very much for allowing us to go with you. I look forward to seeing all of your future endeavors and adventures. Enjoy spending some time with your family and getting back to your “home”. You will feel like you are living in a mansion after all this time in a smaller setup. Take care and may God continue to bless both of you.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. It will truly seem huge! And great to be back... can't wait. See you next week.

[@downtownbrowne77]

Great video. Can't wait for the recap!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It's coming up soon... we're still compiling the info! Thank you.

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

I would have had mouse traps all over the camper. Lol. I despise those things. You guys have had some incredible sights all during your travels.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Next time, Deborah. The floor will be covered!

[@dugman1550]

Thank you both for allowing me to live vicariously through you both a trip I’ll probably never make. You two are special people.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. It was quite a haul for sure but really worth it. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

The Canadian scenery is breathtaking and I'm feeling a bit sad that your great Northern adventure is over! I console myself with knowing you will have further adventures that you will include us in.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It is beautiful north of the border but you are correct, there will be more travels and sights to behold but we'll be doing it in our Big Rig. Glad you're along on the journey. 😊

[@mrsbigtruckbigtravels726]

172 days and almost 16,000 miles. We had an amazing trip and so glad everyone came along for the ride. 🤩 But there is no rest for the weary (i.e. me! 🥴) as we still the fleet shuffle to complete in the next video.

[@kapt.knerrslog]

Just don’t shuffle the mouse 🐁

[@SS-wk7fx]

Would you please take a second to tell me where you got those glasses you're wearing at 36:55? This is the kind my mother is looking for and she asked me to drop you a note after we watched this video. Are they prescription or just sun shades? Even the color is what she wants. She'd prefer prescription capable but could wear over her regulars. Likes side wrap. And thank you both for sharing your journeys. She and I plan to do this trip. Happy travels! ~Susan (& Mom) in Colorado

[@danielstevens3372]

About how much did you spend running around all summer we want to try next year

[@lig8817]

Need to make a plan lol, no resting with the videos ok. Going to start watching this trip all over again, loved it so much

[@susanpiette7165]

Thank you so very much for taking us on your travels. Another unforgettable trip. Thank you, till next time

[@AmericaBound]

I don't know where to start. I love this road trip and I love the videos and editing and I also love the length of the videos. I love watching you two interact and look forward to the next trip. Better then T.V. Thank you!!!❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Wow! Thank you so much. We really appreciate your comments. We can't wait to see what's next either!

[@marycorsellistroche984]

Welcome back to the lower 48! I thoroughly enjoyed all your Alaskan, Arctic, Yukon and Canadian adventures!! You guys rock!! Dave I’m gonna miss your Arctic jokes, lol

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 thanks, Mary. Sadly no more Arctic jokes... but we'll see what other areas we can visit that I can pun!

[@ionecuff6323]

Thank you so very very very very much for sharing your adventures (my dream) so I can at least see and experience what I won't be able to do. So ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Enjoy those grandbabies and sleeping late!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along with us. It was a great trip... lots of miles for sure. More to see in the lower 48!

[@kashyarose4561]

Alot of great drone views and pictures

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@krazedkamper]

Oh my gosh those fall colors!! 🤩😍 loved that boondocking spot!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Great spot! The colors are amazing.

[@steveddavis]

Those fall color shots were spectacular! David saying, "In these parts a fuel station could be a religious experience if you are low on fuel." is so quotable! The devastation from the fires though 😳 I'd ask, "how'd the mouse get in?", but it got cold out, it's an RV, and it's a mouse 🐭 Funnily, we were going into Saskatchewan/Alberta at the same time as you were leaving - maybe we passed each other. Definitely the land of farms! Portal is a huge crossing for hunters from the USA, not much of a town. The little ticket to use the exit gate is unique. Welcome home and thanks for sharing; it has been interesting and entertaining!

[@SS-wk7fx]

I'll bet the mouse got in the slide area since it was misaligned. We had a cat toy that caused a bump out in the slide rubber seal and that's how we think one got in ours. A Victor snap trap and peanut butter got rid of em quickly. Thank you!!!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We think the slide is the mouse entryway. Lots of hunters through Portal. They were the only ones who asked about game or hunt animals being brought back. Fun trip... we're ready for what's next.

[@truett1000]

Thank you for sharing Alaska with us. I was up there in the middle 60's in Anchorage and it has changed.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh wow! Just a little... glad you enjoyed it.

[@SuperKinnee]

Love this trip u guys been taken us so beautiful area up there keep show us more of these trips

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you! Will do! Each week we'll try to see some different places.

[@sheilarounds5286]

Thank you we enjoyed your travels through Alaska a lot. Great video's.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the comments.

[@TravisFerguson-g9t]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride. The wife and I really appreciated all the time you spend to share this adventure with us.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're very welcome, Travis. Thanks for watching the channel. 😁

[@aeconsulting1]

Great video, edits, beautiful drone videos and music “as usual”. The Jade store. I was smiling when you compare it to the Wall Drug store in SD with signs over at least 100 miles distance 😂. It seems everyone has been there. Like your boondocking spots close to the water, so beautiful, really epic overnight spots. I guess Starlink is a winner in those areas. Whataburger - I guess you miss it 😂. What a great journey 16000 miles, just wow! You guys rock! Btw: with my Greek background I love you named your toad ARTEMIS - the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation - very fitting.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Andreas. We thought it was appropriate. Appreciate your comments and watching the channel.

[@teresadavis32]

So glad you 2 are back. Get your Whataburger fix! I'm so glad you 2 are safe!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh yeah... didn't wait too long. Thanks

[@pvdogs2]

WoW, what a great series!! Looking forward to the next adventure. In terms of the moose, there have actually been a numer of on-going research projects aimed at determining why the moose are moving south into farm land. They have been placing collars and trackers on them. They seem to enjoy the crops (peas, flaxseed, oilseeds etc). The area is free of their natural predators - bears and wolves and there are areas where there is water and they can find shade when needed. Interestingly they have found that some of the moose they have tagged wander everywhere and others never move outside of a 10K radius. Their numbers are incrasing in Sask and decreasing in BC and some of the northern US states.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

They definitely go where the good food is and easy travels...except the roads! That's interesting, thanks.

[@juliebaird4156]

I looked forward to your Alaskan videos. I thoroughly enjoyed tagging along with you two via KZbin. Thank you for the amazing views, the beautiful photography, the good humor and the pleasant attitudes when things needed to be repaired. One aspect of your videos that I really appreciate is the lack of drama. You under-react to the difficulties and emphasize the adventure and the experience. Thank you!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Julie. We enjoy the RV lifestyle and unfortunately, sometimes things happen.

[@rigsnrvs]

Great closing Alaskan video. ❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. We did enjoy the ride.

[@carolyngrover2038]

Thanks for an awesome trip and taking us with you.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're very welcome, Carolyn. We've enjoyed every minute of it. Glad you were along on the journey. 😊

[@barryl1072]

Great trip, thank you for sharing your journey. I think we crossed through Portal also.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Nice roads. First time for us through Portal. Each station is unique. Thank you.

[@donlowe7093]

I,m glad you made that trip. I enjoyed the scenery in the summer months.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it, Don. We loved it up there and especially in the Fall for the colors. We weren't expecting that kind of scenery. Thanks for the comment.

[@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs]

You did it.....👏 (Whattatrip!)

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I like it! Whatacomment too!

[@jean-paulcouture5222]

I am from Québec, and still a fervent listener of both of you charming couple .For about 1 hour i travelled wih you and enjoyed your comments. Long live for both of you.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Merci beaucoup for the gracious comments. We're doing good and we'll see you next week. 😁

[@fmerkl]

Glad you had a great trip !

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks! 😃 It was a blast.

[@scottmichaels12]

Great series! I’m spoiled now. I don’t think I can watch any other KZbinr’s Alaska videos. You guys really know how to do Alaska! Thank you!👏👍

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆, Scott, you are way too kind but thank you for the comments. 😃 Appreciate your time watching the channel. What's Next?!?

[@meredithbond9859]

Can I say - I got teary on your behalf saying good-bye to Canada and Alaska? Thank you both so much for the commentary, pictures - both motion and still - with those of us who are not likely to get there in person. Living vicariously, I now appreciate the 'dad' jokes more, and yes, Sondra even the ones that you made inadvertently, and the skill that is required from both of you to get the footage and produce the videos. Have a lovely break, and looking forward to next adventure you share with us all!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Meredith. Your comments mean a lot to us. We love this lifestyle and since our home has wheels, we tend to use them so our next adventure is just a week away!

[@b.m.bradley7525]

Thanks for the " Vacation " it's been a terrific experience, love you guys , God Bless, hope you have the ' power' to do it again.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. Give us a few years and we'll be baaack! More to see below the border for a few years.

[@paulabhandmade9592]

There is something about Alaska that just sticks in the soul! Almost haunting . I was so young when I visited, I didn’t appreciate like I do fifty yrs later. So breathtaking. I see why people go back every Summer. By boat or RV 💕 This music is simply stupendous ❤️❤️👏👏👏 About the Sirius, my brother got a new car and the first year was free!! 🎉

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It is an amazing place up there. We'll be back! We're just waiting on the Sirius to end but enjoying it while we have it!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're very welcome, Karen. Glad you enjoyed it. We fulltime so we're normally traveling each week. Thanks for watching.

[@tonybradburn1591]

I've enjoyed watching your travels in Alaska. I was in the Army from 1972-75, stationed at Ft. Greely, and assigned to the Gerstle River Test Site, at M.P. 1393 on the Alaska Highway. I was discharged on 13Apr75, and drove home to Kentucky, on the Alaska Highway. Sadly we were young, and just out of the Army, so we didn't stop and smell the roses. We didn't see any of the things I've seen here. When you stopped at Gerstle River, and mentioned it was a favorite spot, that was good because I've been in that area before it was a place to stay. The area was flooded when you came through. Has that become a common occurance up there. I don't remember that ever happened when I was there.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Not too common. This flooding was caused by large amounts of ice and a quick spring thaw which clogged the flow. Neat area. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching

[@polarisman67]

Great, awsome series, welcome back, looking forward to seeing the big truck again! You two just do a great job with explaining and making these videos, i feel like i just got back from Alaska. Keep up the awsome vids!👍

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks 👍We can't wait to get back in the big rig again! More to come!

[@robertsmith-fj2rx]

My wife and I waited with excitement for every new episode. What an amazing experience sharing your Alaskan journey has been and a huge thank you from Tasmania on allowing us along for the ride. we are looking forward to your next adventure.

😆 Sometimes there's just so much that it's hard to keep them under 40 minutes. Glad you enjoy them. Thank you

[@cajunsuggies132]

I have enjoyed watching your journey. Living vicariously through you two. Keep doing what you are doing!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. We enjoy RV travel so that's what's on the schedule for the next ??? years. 😆

[@chrishoward4546]

Thank you for sharing your fun!!! Looking forward to watching more!!! Until you are better paid THANK YOU

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for watching! Haha... as you can tell, it was not our intention to get paid for this. We do it for the memories and to help others find their own path.

[@jolenecreech7648]

Awe …. heading home . Rather bittersweet, eh? Absolutely stunning scenery up there! Thank you for sharing. I loved every minute and every mile! 💜😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! We look forward to heading home but sad to see the trip end. Thank you

We sometimes only get one moment so it should count! Thank you. 😃

Your drone shots are amazing. Your spot next to the lake was incredible.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It was amazing. Thank you.

[@brendanoleary5885]

Brilliant video, I suspect I'm the same as a lot of your viewers. You beautiful people are a part of my Friday schedule and I look forward to each new vid. Let the wattaburger count down begin. That restaurant is going to record sales that day. I was writing this message just before you mentioned the burgers. Hilarious

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 Thank you, Brendan. Always appreciate your time watching the channel. Oh we definitely got my Whataburger fix!

[@michelleh1033]

I have loved every episode of this grand adventure ❤️

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Michelle. Excited to have you along on the journey. 😊

[@petem6846]

@40:22 - "We are in southern Saskatchewan ... I feel like we're in Nebraska or something." The Great Plains are amazing! The scenery looks the same from Texas to the Tundra. It took me a long time to appreciate it but after living on the edge of it for decades, it feels like home. Great video series, David and Sondra. We've enjoyed watching your whole trip to Alaska and the Arrrctic Ocean! Thanks so much for putting it together and welcome back! Sure hope you didn't smuggle that Canadian mouse into the US. 😄

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

The plains are amazing but not everyone can appreciate their unique beauty.

[@susanolsen603]

what a beautiful trip. thank you for sharing with us.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it and excited to see you each week.

[@1968alaskan]

I think that mouse got the last laugh. Locked you out! Great scenes....quality video! Thx.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 😂 I think you're right! It all makes sense now.

[@sandrapicard422]

I like Integra tire. I live in Kamloops BC and Integra Tire has been great for us. That was crazy filling up and then nothing. Jeez!! Love seeing the places you have gone to. 😊😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I totally agree! Great place just crazy busy... and then, NOT!

[@tombarker4478]

Thanks for the memories!! Enjoyed every mile of it.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it, Tom. Thank you for watching.

[@Powerstroke98]

Interesting, coming across this video, having travelled to many of the same locations. Jade City, here in Canada, has its own television show...didn't know if you knew that? We did the Cassiar highway as well, went to Stewart, Hyder, then up to Salmon Glacier (well worth going). We took our truck & slide in camper up to Salmon Glacier, but your Jeep would be a much easier drive! Love the scenic views of the drone, thank for sharing them, along with the lovely music chosen while watching! Regarding moose, back when my kids were young, I use to 'hunt' moose, up along the Alaska highway, and in about 40 miles! Back in those days, we use to say there's a moose behind every tree, as they where so numerous, but that changed over the years, once the oil & gas companies fixed up the roads into the area...so much, where those same abundant regions, we would spend 2 weeks looking for a moose, and see none! There 'where' Bison in the same region, and on my very last trip, we won (got, in a lottery) what was called a 'Group hunt' for two Bison, either gender. Thus, as we all typically know, when you're offered something like that, you see NONE! But on one of our last days before heading home, one partner and I travelled a long distance from camp, and near the end of the day came upon two Bison, so we filled our tags, and I've never hunted since, as our kids had grown (they grew up on moose meat) and one daughter was vegetarian, so sustenance of moose wasn't needed, so I chose not to go any more. All our hunts where in groups of anywhere from 4 to 8 people, so it fed a lot of people over the years of course. We got to learn how to 'call' moose (males especially have a particular grunt) of which I used once, to where a moose turned, and started running back towards us! My brother could call elk (there were many elk in the area as well) and got some nice one's over the years. As for eating, they love leaves, and will eat just the wigs on a tree if that's all that's available. In ponds, they will stand and eat the vegetation of the bottom of the ponds/lakes. Wolves are their main predator, and bears can be as well, especially when the little one's are born unfortunately. So, moose are vegetarians for the most part, and yes I've seen many many dead on the side of highways, along with deer, which are plentiful even more than moose. What a wonderful trip you had, and I'll be looking forward to the many other video's of yours I need to catch up on, and future as well.

Sounds like fun. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Neat to hear about your other experiences from the past.

[@AKRichardM]

Really enjoyed following along on your trip. Another advantage of the Cassiar heading south is the lower elevation. On several previous trips, there was lots of snow on the Alaska Hwy south of Watson Lake. The Cassiar was clear.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Very true. I like the Cassiar on the return trip.

[@LynBailey7]

Thank you so much for taking me back to Alaska, to many places I have been to previously, and to many places I have never seen. I have loved every moment that you shared. Once again, thank you. 💖💖

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're so welcome, Lyn. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@cheryllann_]

All that scenery is so breathtaking!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It is gorgeous!

[@remajenkins7269]

I've really enjoyed watching your travels in alaska and canada this year. Your pictures and videos were excellent. Looked like you planned to travel on innerstate 29 on your way home. I'll wave from westboro, mo.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Haha... we'll be passing by! Thank you for watching the channel. 😁

[@tljlucy31]

What a wonderful journey! Thank you for sharing it with us all. I can’t wait to see your next journey.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for watching! See you next week. 😁

[@timfeckley1689]

Always seems that once you hit that certain area on the return trip home you just want to get home!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You got that right! It's always been that way. Worse when we were working at our jobs but now we know the adventure continues... it's just a different adventure.

[@thomneil4764]

I’ve loved following your Alaska & Canada adventures! Always too many cool things to comment on. I will mention that the absolutely LOVED that overnight you showed at about 25min. in this video! Gorgeous!!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That was such a cool spot, we could have stayed there for several days just taking in the scenery... but we had to go! Glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along on the journey. 😊

[@screwplanplaybook7121]

Hello from Nebraska, safe travels, God Bless you all. I just found your channel, thank you.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! It will be a fun trip and I know you're excited to go!

[@garygus5966]

What a gret trip you both have had! Thanks for taking me along!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel, Gary. Thank you. 😃

[@phyllissmith1105]

That was a wonderful trip. I enjoyed every minute of your videos. I'm kind of sad that it's over. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Phyllis. It was a great trip but we're also looking forward to what's next. 😀

[@MiguelRodriguez-dy9tc]

Welcome home! Thanks for all the great videos. Can't wait for the next.🙂

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks so much! 😊 see you next week.

[@murrayhelmer8941]

Lots of moose on the prairies. They eat in the grain fields. Moose only started showing up here about 30 years ago. Now we’re getting bears and timber wolves

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Wow! We understand now but it was just a different setting for us to expect moose. Makes sense though with all the fields. Thanks

[@kirbykerschner825]

Such wonderful memories you two are making.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. Almost too many to keep track of! I guess that's why the videos are good to make and share.

[@bobbydee1187]

Interesting video. I learned a lot and really enjoyed this. Hope to see lots more.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you. We love to share our experiences.

[@duncanmackenzie45]

Come back anytime. Next time explore the foothills, northern Saskatchewan and suffer from the mosquitoes in Manitoba. Enjoy your winter and see you soon.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Sounds good...except for the mosquitoes! We'll back one of these days. Beautiful area. Thank you.

[@IanDoberman]

Coutts Alberta, Sweet Grass Mt boarder crossing is a easy access and open 24 hours next time you cross. Closer to Banff national park, Waterton national Park, which is also known as glacier national Park

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Waterton is a fav of ours

[@4strees]

Glacier National Park is a different park from Waterton Lakes National Park. There is a Glacier in BC and the other is in Montana. Glacier and Waterton Lakes share a border.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. We've been through that crossing but we wanted to try a new route. Portal was a little shorter distance and allowed us to see Saskatchewan.

[@lindabrown2211]

Watching your Alaskan/Canadian travels with all the beautiful scenery, wildlife and oh... the Artic circle, Artic ocean was just awesome. The best part for me, is watching just hiw much fun your having , mouse and all LOL. Welcome back and as always wishing you both safe travels.

Thank you for your amazing videos on your trip. I sure miss Alaska. Drove up the Alaskan HWY in 1974 to Anchorage where my family got stationed. Such amazing memories. ❤️🥰❤️

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're very welcome. Alaska has definitely changed since 1974 but the beautiful scenery remains. Glad you enjoyed it.
