RVing the Wild and Remote Lewis and Clark Highway with my Friend Kristi

[@gailmiller5523]

Beautiful area. Took my mom on a road trip back to her home town in Minnesota before she passed. I think she was 82. We took that highway. She lived to 93. Awesome woman ❤

[@lolasaxby1399]

Such beautiful country! Thanks for sharing AND for the history lesson. Love your journey!

[@agr8h2o]

Brought a huge smile to my face seeing some of the places that my late husband and I traveled. Some of my happiest memories! Thank you!

[@rouxchat6033]

I enjoy most of your videos immensely but this one is particularly awesome. Nice job and thank you for sharing. Haven't explored idaho yet but hopefully soon. 🌲❤🐶😽😽❤🌲

[@MsDJDJ]

OH. THANKU CAROLYN, THIS IS BOTH HISTORIC& BEAUTIFUL,....U TAKE ME PLACES,I COULD NEVER GO...THANKU FOR THAT...ITS AMAZING& BEAUTIFUL...JUST LIKE YOU& SADIE🙂❤️

[@lauriehall3283]

The colors on the forest floor were so pretty! Truly enjoyed watching. Thank you 🙂

[@destinationhappiness3452]

OMG...your new video in video commentary is the best! Love it! 🙌😁👍

[@elizabethapfelbaum1240]

Truest fabulous. Keep doing it, I love it! One other thing, it seems in at least a couple states the Indians followed the herds, the fur trappers followed the Indian trail and the road builders followed the Indians. Many Rts in New Jersey I spent a few years in

[@nfoss5656]

That was a beautiful drive. Thank you for the video and history lesson.

[@angelaw4914]

Really enjoyed this video. The nature/scenery looked amazing. The campground and cabins looked gorgeous.

[@joonthego3781]

Loved the old growth cedar grove, gave me goosebumps. What a beautiful drive. Thanks for sharing your travels.

[@donnatucker3263]

Beautiful scenery and thanks for sharing. I’ve always wanted to see Idaho and now for the meantime I’ve been able to. Stay safe.✌️👍

[@charlottewilson4680]

I love driving along side rivers. That one was beautiful.

[@NenaLavonne]

So incredibly beautiful! I love how rainy days make the colors of nature even more vibrant. Would LOVE to take this amazing drive. Fantastic video ♥️

[@pkmagic]

The video doesn't even do it justice. This is a bucket list trip. But, you must hike into the Jerry Johnson hotsprings. It's easy hike and is magical!

[@NenaLavonne]

@@pkmagic wow! Thank you for the suggestion. I was in awe of the beautiful nature in this video!

[@bcguyrocks]

Kristi is so darn cute. Close friends are few and far between. Cherish the friendship. And thankyou for all the wonderful videos Carolyn, the only way so many of us will ever see so many places.

[@shawneeb3771]

Enjoyed your video, such a beautiful country. Thank you for sharing.

[@cynthiawilliams4723]

That drive Looks so relaxing

[@willothewispl]

What a lucky pup. Getting to travel all over.

[@corirogers5757]

I'm so glad you made it to Idaho! We love it here...so much beauty!!!

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Wonderful video Carolyn... Beautiful areas. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@zorazorazorzzora8333]

How peaceful and beautiful.... thanks for the history

[@daveogarf]

EXCELLENT photoessay of your journey! The music was especially poignant. Thank you, Carolyn.

[@juliegiles334]

Thanks, I needed a mini vacation . Great video and now on my bucket list.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I’m so glad you have a channel and show the incredible beauty of the forests! I bow to you and to the trees.🦌💌❤️🇨🇦☕️📚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

[@texcinlulu]

Thanks for the beautiful video! So nice to see a different part of this country. I’m sure it was nice having your friend travel with you for a while. Happy trails! 🌞🦋❤️

[@normabenavidez2138]

Thanks so much for the Ride along ☺️!!! So soothing and beautiful!

[@mouseboots46]

Fascinating area! The highway is one of the historic ones on my "list" of things to see while I try to cover as much of the country as I can before I am too old. Got a late start at 74. Thank you for sharing this trip, lovely scenes.

[@JB-qu3tb]

74 is the new 54!!! Enjoy your travels. 💕💕💕🙏☀️

[@therealsnake5875]

Yes the big trees remind me of Redwoods along the Redwood Hwy in northern Cal. All the areas you stopped were real nice beautiful rain forest setting bet it smelled wonderful.

[@lcostantino7931]

VERY nice photography

[@deborahkimball-billups6405]

Yes , you are in my neck of the woods. Im in weippe, idaho .. hope you enjoyed your visit

[@deborahkimball-billups6405]

How are you making money ? I would like to learn .

[@mikebalgaard9284]

Hi Deborah I am in post falls, I have done logging work all over idaho.

[@susans7091]

What a beautiful route! But it definitely was not like that with a paved road for Lewis and Clark!!! A lot in Idaho reminds me of Colorado:) ....the mountains, the narrow rivers... laughing at Sadies reaction to the statue of the bear! Love all of the little A-frames. Yes to this being a destination wedding kind of place (for the rustic romantics:) Thank you so much for including the peaceful sound of the river... in the forest where you stay for the night in the forest. This is one of your incredible videos where you include history, Lewis and Clark following the Nez Perce trails... sad event of course.... Cedar groves, yes!

[@barbarajohnson1442]

How nice to have a friend along for a bit! So enjoyable to vicariously see the country with you. I never did pass through Idaho! Lewis and Clark trail is a great idea. Bahtalo Drom

[@kathyadam9932]

Thank you for this. Perfect video I’m always so happy for you when Kristi comes for visits. It’s so nice when best buddies can spend time together. What a fun vacation for Kristi. Hugs

[@JB-qu3tb]

Nice video, Carolyn. Idaho looks just beautiful. I appreciate the research that you do, so that you can provide us with a bit of history. Blessings to you and Sadie. Love and light to everyone. 💕💕💕🙏☀️🐕

[@lawnvett]

the History and your commentary make your videos special, adding your face in the bottom right corner is a great touch,

[@m.v.1230]

What a gorgeous state! There was something magical in that cedar grove. Every where you turned was beautiful. Thank you for what you share with us that can't travel, it means alot!

[@kathyduncan6460]

I loved this video. As a resident of Washington state, the PNW is in my very soul. Next time you travel up this way, you should visit Fort Clatsop, a camp of Lewis and Clark, on the Oregon side of the mighty Columbia River. It is amazing.

[@craigandlisao9736]

Omg,,,,, the pool ball! I love it 🤗. Beautiful scenery. Reminds me of our home at Sekiu Wa. Except we’re in the straight of Juan de Fuca. Beautiful picture of Sadie on the rock ❤️

[@Prljamlvr]

You were so close to me! Two of my favorite natural hot springs ar just in the other side of the Idaho border. No cell service.... It is my favorite day trip.

[@JB-qu3tb]

No cell service. What a beautiful thought!!! I think that we all need to disconnect once in awhile. Just my unsolicited opinion!!!!

[@tammyvanmeter4669]

Again! Another well narrated and beautiful views video. I love seeing the roads into and the area to park. Keep these coming. Btw...how ya feeling? Still praying for y'all to get better. I'm a fulltime nomad(i call it non-stop destinations) class c 32ft Coachman 2000. And this information is valuable to me. I am touring the Northwest this summer. I'm 63 retired.

[@cherylforfang8671]

Some beautiful scenery. Thank you. And for the history. Two of my passions!

[@26skogen]

There are some great free camp spots along highway 12. One is a few miles in and a beautiful river.

[@thizizliz]

Gosh I haven't been up there for years - I'd forgotten how beautiful it is. Yes, you chose a great path down to Boise. It certainly seemed that Kristi enjoyed it too. I love that the signs are more honest about the abuse of the Native Americans. That's a good thing.

[@privatesuzie4071]

I like the filming style and how you come in to the screen....loved hearing rain

[@scottt8424]

Hey Carolyn thank you for taking me along and it was nice to see your friend there again 2

[@kateburk2168]

Beautiful forest. Lovely lonely cabin. Healing for mind, body & spirit!

[@vrp406]

I love the Lochsa ( Lock saw) river. You missed Jerry Johnson hot Springs. Only about a mile hike.

[@pkmagic]

Oh my heart💕. My parents retired to this area. This highway is so beautiful! We have stayed at three rivers in one of the little cabins.. But, I think you drove past the Jerry Johnson Hotsprings! Dang!

[@sarahjackson6714]

Everywhere you go is such an adventure. So much history...

[@terriecotham1567]

Memorys to last a lifetime. Be safe

[@jocichon6048]

A beautiful drive and thank you for the history to it

[@karenroe6270]

Hey thats good information. Going to the bathroom while traveling. ......tricky business. Beautiful country we camped in Boise on one of our adventures. We live 3 1/2 hrs west of Boise. Love & Light from Washington state. ; )

[@Ninetysixgal]

Get that bear Sadie lol! She looked like a beautiful carved statue standing on that rock. Her coat so pretty and shiny black. I like the way u were in the corner narrating! Neato! Those trees were gorgeous! Thank you for this video! The music, editing, history lesson was spectacular!

[@kerrymckenzie4975]

Hi ya remember that part of the world when we did our road trip, love the videos as it brings back so many great memories my wife and I drove around the the coast to the central mid west for 2.5 months absolutely fantastic, love your videos as it brings back so many fond memories of our trip in the USA, cheers your Ozzie fan! ..... PS coincidentally we had the same rig as you have.

[@tippyjo5850]

Sadie barking at the bear statue 🤣🤣🤣 such a good protective girl

[@JB-qu3tb]

She's such a good girl. What a beautiful and sweet dog. Her Mom is great too!!!💕🥰🐕

[@kimshaw7913]

Love traveling along with you

[@girlandherrv2225]

Glad to see u with a friend..

[@eyeswideopen1158]

Wow!!!! This is for sure on my bucket list!!! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking us with you.🤗

[@cherylsibson8457]

Gorgeous Drive Carolyn!

[@DD-lv4tb]

Wow beautiful. Hello to your friend.

[@coleengoodell3550]

Wow, this is beautiful. The river is stunning and the forest. Sadie cracked me up barking at the bear statue. She got rather quiet when she saw the big loader. Wasn't going to take that on. So glad you had some time with a good friend in such beautiful nature. Picked up my 2002 Yukon today from my daughter. I'm already itching for some trips in it. First to get it set up for overnights. Idaho is now in my sights. Love the video, hope all is well, much love to you and Sadie girl.

[@KERose307]

Idaho is beautiful.

[@richardp6461]

Idaho is beautiful neighbor. Montana ain't bad either.

[@melissabrown6981]

This is a very interesting and pretty place to look around and be what's the word I'm looking for solitude. I think. 🤔😀

[@dina1628]

Hi Carolyn! I’m really enjoying your journey! Dina from Montréal, Quebec 🇨🇦

[@robertwalker9465]

You brought back a lot of memories..Drove that highway on my way to boise twenty years ago , great scenery, tks for sharing

[@robinsaxophone232]

Beautiful country. Idaho is beautiful- my native state.

[@NenaLavonne]

Lucky! So beautiful!

[@skiimountaineer]

Love the scenery, thanks for sharing!

[@beths.1541]

Beautiful video. I even started looking up some of the featured locations before the video ended. Making a plan....

[@FidoHouse]

So miss traveling - awaiting lift of travel restrictions. Meanwhile, vicariously, thru you. Thank you! Fall drizzle certainly intensifies the colors. Love the camera panning with the soft piano and rain background sounds.

[@sharonsteele8915]

So much beauty in your travels.. stay safe..

[@26skogen]

Oh forgot to tell you, we have a local author here in Salmon who lived in the outback south of Hwy 12. He lived in a wall tent through the winter in the snow. His name is Patrick Taylor and his book Alone On Purpose is a great read.

[@rhays615]

I like this edit with you talking in the corner, not just voiceover.

[@Birdbike719]

I do as well.

[@mikebalgaard9284]

Yeah very good Carolyn.

[@Jferriera5894]

Yes!

[@squid5900able]

Did like yiur lil face pop ups in the corner

[@bostonterriermomakasandy9722]

Love the cedar trees. So pretty.

[@amstergal]

I have a friend named Kirsti living in Boise, almost Kristi! Had no idea Idaho was so gorgeous!

[@lionunderthestars7019]

Hi, Carolyn. I just subscribed, but that's just because I finally got a Google account. I was resisting. I have been watching your channel for about 4 years. You were the first youtube channel I watched completely. Thanks to you and Nomadic Fanatic my husband and I were inspired to buy a 1997 Southwind Storm (25' Class A) in the fall of 2018. It took us a year to get it fully maintained and outfitted. He was already retired. I retired at Easter 2019. We spent November 2019 thru March 2020 in Arizona, and loved it so much. We felt healthier and more relaxed. We had the typical RV issues and worked well as a team. We had our 2 cats with us. Roadey didn't care so much for the on the road part and would stay under one of the seats. He was fine and happy once we were parked. R V Stevey enjoyed the experience 100%. We have spent the last year at home because of Covid, but are hoping we can again take a trip to AZ this fall/winter. Eventually we hope to explore more of some of the other western states. Washington and Idaho are at the top of the list. Thank you for today's lovely video. Thank you for being you. I'm thrilled I can finally thumb's up your videos. Nancy W of Reno, NV

[@waynesweeney]

This route is on my next travel plan. I was hoping it would be this scenic. Nice video, Carolyn. Hope you have another one coming up on this area.

[@heathergentlyinthewind806]

So pretty... I have only gone about 75 miles into Southern Montana. Hope to see more of it in 2023😊

[@Tipperary757]

Relaxing journey.

[@Birdbike719]

This whole stream makes me want to go fishing. LOL. So beautiful there! Love those A frame cabins at the motel. Cute!

[@jocichon6048]

It is nice you got company to ride with this trip

[@judyabernathy80]

I love Christie’s laugh!

[@j-momichel6227]

I live on the Flathead Reservation about an hour away from Missoula. I grew up in Idaho in the Lewiston/Clarkson area and my family and I will be heading over this weekend. Just watched Nomadland and have been stuck on these videos for 2 days now! Thanks for posting!

[@swansodi]

The name of the river along HW 12 is pronounced 'lock saw". someone else may have already mentioned that. It is a beautiful drive. Lots of history in that area.

[@donnamount151]

"White Bird" Mt. Is a cool drive...he fun...Donna

[@bevtrue6937]

Yes, the CA ones are sequoias.

[@gracelarsh6352]

Thank you for such a beautiful video, I loved every minute and was left wanting more...

[@bromyardcoachouse4876]

Beautiful ladies, keep safe, you sound much better now January is out of the way.

[@joniloverin7343]

Lol, my dog barks at animal statues also! LOL I love Northern Idaho Thanks for sharing so much beauty and fun.

[@dianemcdonough4745]

Happy Spring Carolyn and Sadie🌻🐝💖💙💫🤗

[@dbkyhere9229]

Beautiful video! Love history!

[@nancyedwards9603]

I love hwy 12. If I am coming back from Oregon during the summer I always take this route.

[@terrybrowning3542]

Oh boy, that's a fun drive in a car. In an RV it must be a challenge. The Lock saw river, I know it's not spelled like that but thats it, lol Idaho actually has a book that gives all the Historical Sites and the history behind each. OK, the end of video was a surprise!!😃 I thought there was more and went back again to check, that it was the end. Lol

[@davidturner3552]

Holly: Thanks for a piece of my NW home! Missing it from Albuquerque. Like the PCT, I miss the green tunnels! I take groves and grooves.

[@brendabarnes697]

Really injoying your RV trips. I'm locked up in Boise and climbing the walls. Loved your Idaho video. I now have both vaccines and can't wait to see, feel and smell forests. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Have fun!

[@terrysager1091]

Enjoyed this so much. I have a Class-C, it's only 23' but Natl Forests usually are ok with 20' or less and Natl Parks don't allow dogs on trails--only in the campground. So I am looking for remote places to go where I feel safe...and it gives me ideas of places to go. Thank you.

[@Linda-td8hj]

Looks like you both had a great trip ♡☆♡

[@kimprocarione5473]

Love Northern Idaho! You make every place look beautiful. You have a great eye!

[@sleepycalico]

Thanks for including the info about peeing-on-the-go. I've wondered about that. Sadie was so adorable about the bear statue. I guess all of Idaho cannot be this beautiful. That much beauty had me fighting down tears from happiness. Throw in some banjo music and this is a totally joyful video. 🥰

[@genekied]

It's so awesome that you guys drove Hwy. 12! It's one of my new fav areas. Only just discovered the area this past summer and fall, near same time frame as you. I camped up the same road (Selway River), only I went all the way up river and stayed at this little campground on the other side of the river. We hiked up into the Selway-Bitterroot wilderness area for about 10 miles. Kooskia is a pretty cool little place, I slept at that little park at the turn. How about that cedar grove, Devoto was the reason I went there the first time. Did you stop and look at all those old trucks, like a road side museum. The next time I took that route on my way to the North Cascades and Olympic N.P. and then south all the way along the coast to the Redwoods near Humboldt. The Pacific Northwest is so enchanting. When I leave Yellowstone, it will be my base during the summers.

[@phendrahend9530]

Hi Carolyn, The Nature and Wildlife agencies in Idaho have many cabins in remote areas that they rent out by the night but they are normally well marked, so even though it looks like one of those cabins it may not have been.

[@pamflowers8364]

Pretty cool video. Any idea what altitude you were traveling through when you were in the Nat'l Forest?

[@larajackson7506]

Love ya Carolyn! Always a pressure!😃❤👍
