[@Jllcountry5118]

Ok am I crazy or was a there a stormtrooper standing on the left side of car tunnel when they came out other side?? Love this channel!!! Landscape Photography is awesome!!

[@lizzardk42]

We had to rewind. Yah. Wth!!! Storm trooper was definitely there. Okkkkk

[@JeffJensen55]

Yep, no doubt, it was a stormtrooper!

[@Jllcountry5118]

@@lizzardk42 haha that’s hilarious. I’m not crazy. Find stormtrooper instead of find Waldo. Lol

[@neallittlebit1383]

We saw it too! Ha!

[@adelea6761]

Lol it was totally a storm trooper😂 the force was with them!

[@terrymathis4213]

Wonderful trip. Thanks for letting me see Mt. Rushmore with y'll.

[@lindagolden9892]

Thoroughly enjoyed 🎶 selection during your Needles exploration.

[@autumnedwards5139]

Officially time I leave a comment. My husband and I have been watching you two everyday for months now. We have seen all of your videos at least once and we feel more and more inspired each time we watch. We randomly got a wild hair to start backpacking and we found your channel while researching for our trips. Now we are planning to create our own version of what you two have created for yourselves. We have both always been into camping, hiking and exploring but neither of us have ever considered it the way you guys do it. Until now! I just want to say thank you for going after your dreams and proving that you can do the things that people may consider impossible. One day when we are on the road we hope to attend one of your clean ups! Thank you for being awesome! Catch you on the other.

[@StevenWarren-w6r]

I really like an enjoy the music never heard of them very nice chilling

[@JeffJensen55]

Thoroughly loved this episode - one of your best! Tim and Frances are good people, but why wouldn’t they be, considering the family! Jeff J

[@karengilmore6408]

This by far is one of my favorite videos. It warms my heart that you spent time with your senior family. I can only imagine how special that made them feel. The photography was beautiful and the music was spot on. ❤

[@roadtriplover.]

Wait! Did I see a Storm Trooper just outside of one of those tunnels?!?! 😀 Im planning to visit SD, WY, MN and NB next Spring. Im planning to camp on the Wall, in Custer, at Devil’s Tower and in NB. I AM SO EXCITED!!! What is your favorite experience, sight in SD, so far??

[@nina_g6857]

Wow beautiful ❤️ love the drone footage can’t believe you tunnel droned 👍🏽 love love that awesome sweet older couple 💕

[@pattibrotz3684]

I have done the hike up to Crazy Horse and it was awesome! It is done twice a year, June and end of September. It’s called a Volks March. It’s a very spiritual place.

[@lrparrish227]

Awesome video and aerial views. Simply magnificent.

[@CandEAdventures]

When are ya’ll headed to the southeast for our epic crossover 😅 Boating, Hiking, Fishing, etc. (we wouldn’t be in a rush to come back this way if we were out west either)

[@debbyrymer9298]

I’m so surprised that you have not been swimming this summer as much as you love it you must be sad the summer is almost over and no fun in the water

[@hf3490]

We did this trip back in ‘17. A bus got stuck in one of the tunnels. We had a bit of a wait getting through. 😜 So beautiful there! Loved the video. Your videography is impeccable. Thanks so much for sharing. 🤓🇨🇦

[@lindahopson5003]

Oh wait... there was a Stormtrooper and y'all didn't even mention it?? What the heck??

[@brucefrye2292]

I've been living here for over 40 yrs. now, and all's that happened to crazy horse ,is them that's said what they're going to do. Lots of fine dispersed camping all over round here!

[@gwenwallace6175]

Never seen mt rushmore but your filming it was the next best thing! Sure hope those that want to destroy it, never will!! History tells the story….

[@juliebolduc802]

With all the hatred going on in our country these days makes me cry watching your video of Mt Rushmore. Thanks for sharing!

[@angelgill9468]

I live in Rapid City SD, and most of the time I really take for granted all the beauty surrounding me. Quite frequently I claim that I've already seen that, or ugh do I want to go there again?? But I want to thank you for showing me my beautiful state through your eyes! It has really shown me that I can still enjoy the scenery all around. So Thank you again!

[@johnnelson8207]

I am incredibly envious of you.

[@dycusfamily]

So, ok, they got some spliaining to do as to why there was a stormtrooper in this video 🤔

[@tedhale4068]

I love the sound tracks chosen for this episode.

[@sandystout9257]

2nd cousin

[@tentingaroundflorida]

The drone footage is amazing.

[@coleengoodell7523]

That cave system was absolutely amazing! Loved seeing that much better than Mt. Rushmore, which I find just another affront to Native American's culture, history and what they considered sacred. If I ever get to that area, the cave is on my absolutely must do list. Stay safe and God bless.

[@jasonmann2001]

Thank you Cody. Now I can’t get that dang whistle song out of my head lol. Seriously though, great episode. Love the random storm trooper lol.

[@Steve_Farwalker]

Such a great bunch of folks. Thanks for taking us along.

[@sidneyabbott5991]

I find the two of you very inspiring. I’m planning to travel with a mini version of how the two of you travel. I have a Prius that can tow up to 1500 pounds. I am intend to tow an aluminum storage trailer built using rigid foam to keep it light weight. 💜

[@KWadventuress]

Woohoo South Dakota!

[@kellygreen8255]

Love Timmy!!! ❤️ and Ms. Frances!!! Family is the best!

[@patmurphy7733]

Jewel Cave is beautiful!

[@taniamichelle306]

Kia ora Kellie and Cody and cousins. This footage was phenominal 🥰. Loved the coverage with the drone. And the Fore fathers monument, outstanding! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Arohanui 🥰💖😍💖🥰

[@a.j.sulecki4545]

Really good video kids. Great choice of music for the different situations and views . . Keep on Truckin . .

[@whiteeaglehodges45]

Hey kids,hoking,Mt Russmore was poured,in a mold,really look at it.xheckout the Crazy Horse monument, they have been carving it for fifty years,kol,more like destroying it,compare the patina on the scene, have fun

[@commonsense246]

One of your best Cody! Awesome! You should sell this video to South Dakota parks and wildlife for their promotion!!!

[@LeisureTimeLarry]

So, which cave experience did you like more, Wind or Jewel?

[@ColetteClemens-m2v]

A really awesome place to tour is the Luray Caverns in Virginia. As Cody would say.. phenomenal 😊

[@BrookGarretson]

Loved running into you guys at the store. Hope you made it through the wind. Whoo that was a movin! Good luck!! Thanks for checking out my music.🤩 Got so excited I called Cody, Mark, So sorry! I was flustered so much meeting some folks I have been following on youtube for a few years. You guys made my day!! Naturally I was as excited as a schoolgirl in a new dress. ;)

[@elainelovig8103]

Just watched this video! Loved it! My husband & I have been to Mt Rushmore several times. Loved the music you picked!

[@silby77]

Wonderful video! Was super cool seeing Mt. Rushmore and the drone footage of Needles Highway was awesome! Take care and happy travels -Hedy

[@Hanginwithherky]

This is one of our top road-trip destinations. Always ready to go back

[@brenthiteoutdoors]

Great Video! Thanks for sharing!

[@melissaedwards8974]

The scenery in this vlog is amazing. Such beautiful part of our country. Thank you ❤

[@castironbackroads1447]

Another Great Video! Thank you for bringing us along! I really liked the music chosen for this episode. It set the mood and was well "choreographed" in your editing. Thanks again, and safe travels!

[@michaellewis81]

One of the only things I haven't explored out west. On my bucket list for store Sure. Thanks for showing it to us! 👍🥰

[@carolthiele190]

Awesome video. I did notice the Texas Registration sticker in the windshield, spending the summer up there must have been really nice this summer.

[@beverlyokie]

This is one of the best videos ya'll have done. beautiful and you are really getting good at capturing/editing the scenes. I have visited all these places too. I get on my treadmill and watch the big screen with your stuff. Saying hello from beautiful southeast Oklahoma.

[@DazewithKaze]

Beautiful, the whistling music was terrible though . Hurt my ears 😞 but I loved the rest.

[@jozeffelcan9682]

Hi guys, just simple Q. What are you doing for a living? Thanks for answer :)

[@wandamccoy2029]

Y'all are my favorite full-time campers y'all are the only ones I watch now your life is so exciting to me I've been watching you since right before your sold your home and it just keeps getting better and better the music in this video I like the instrumental of this because it sounds like it's the '80s music LOL and I like the way y'all describe places that y'all are visiting I think y'all are the only ones that do it what makes it so interesting so always can't wait for your next video be safe always Wanda

[@johnnelson8207]

Ok you've been in Custer State Park in two videos now. Where's the Bison at, and the Borrows? Pronghorn you saw were cool tho.

[@whitleyrobertson7070]

Sadly it has really not changed much from a lack of funding. The head of the horse, if completed, will be larger than the whole of Mount Rushmore.

[@whitleyrobertson7070]

If you can check out Devils Tower if you can before you leave.

[@davidpatrick1813]

Think American, Act American, Buy American ... 🙂

[@bama1usaf]

Incredible video, I have to know that song that you ended this show on. Anyone know? its incredible. great editing.

[@thesimmons186]

Okay, probably odd, but I loved the whistling song - had to Shazam it and add to library.

[@stevenannett1739]

Mount Rushmore was ,For us just such a great stop,,We had to waut for the Trump Fest to end but we did get to go ! I belive that whole area was probably our fave stop on our trip ,,Awesome

[@brentwentfishing]

Nice music selection on the Custer Park portion of the video. 😁

[@tmtex]

OMG how weird. Planning this trip out now for next summer. OK looking at it

[@kenmabie8029]

Incredible video of a most beautiful area of our country! Thanks for the tour.😀👍

[@TheMachinist-k9n]

I cant wait until Lord Donald Trump is placed up there.

[@barbaramena2377]

I believe the cave is magnificent, I think people don't know what they're missing, secrets underground, when God made earth he didn't miss a beat for Mother nature i enjoy every minute of your trips i can't travel anymore soo gracious to take us along

[@juliepetruzzi8563]

Your dad’s cousin and spouse are adorable ☺️. Nice for you to have travel partners and be driving around!

[@colleenwilkin5705]

been there, done that, and it is awesome everytime!..........

[@hydro6917]

that couple is cody and kelli in 40 years, they're adorable

[@Mustang-tt3zt]

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@Mustang-tt3zt]

Thank you the scenery is just breathtaking one day I'll get there on a vacation will be memorable 🙂

[@jeboutdoors377]

hello great video, cody and kellie do yall know if they made a video of the building the mounment of rushmore

[@currybushnell9236]

Inside of the cave some of the formations looks like sea sponge.

[@jeremyd1089]

I live in the Black Hills. Enjoy your visit.

[@kellibuck]

I’m here in Custer! Have been for almost a week. Crazy! Neat to see you!

[@darlenestout7548]

I'm glad you got to share this place. I look forward to seeing it soon

[@LUPENS1]

Omg, great video! I knew that man as from Texas!

[@Revelacion320]

I was stressing the tunnels while you were flying the drone 😲

[@adelea6761]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the great video guys!

[@roadtriplover.]

What about the cave bacon?! Did you see it in Jewel Cave?

[@whiteeaglehodges45]

Sometimes they go into overdrive to misspell for you

[@normalincoln8502]

Beautiful area I would love to live up there all the time... Great vlog

[@ursinidaho]

Loved this! And you were spot on with the music!

[@jamescasejr.9679]

Loving community and spend time😍

[@ksarchaeology]

Your cousin and her husband are so sweet!!! love these videos.

[@robertanddonnagordon]

They took an ugly ole mountain and made it better

[@r.eugenelee9148]

Wow...what an episode. Thank you Thank you =-)

[@anadventureoutdoors]

Your dads first cousin would be your 2nd cousin. your 2nd cousin would be your Childs 3rd cousin. I think that's how that works. that is confusing. lol

[@LeisureTimeLarry]

I think...Kellie's dad's first cousin, Francis, would be Kellie's first cousin-once removed (one generation removed or "off"). If Francis had children, they would be Kellie's second cousins. If one of those second cousins had a child, it would be Kellie's second cousin-once removed. If Kellie had a child, it would be third cousins with that last child. Kellie's child and Francis would be first cousins-twice removed. Yeah, probably one of the most confusing thing ever!

[@anadventureoutdoors]

Mrs. Francis sounds so sweet.

[@paularandall2798]

We love that area! Been there twice!

[@strangeweenieclown]

09:22...A Stormtooper?? 🤣🤣

[@rgilbert92]

Wow, you are an inspiration!

[@jeffreysadventuresyoutube]

I’ve been watching you guys sense the beginning! I’m so impressed how fresh your experiences are and how you keep your content from getting old! I’m so excited for you guys and all your subscribers 👏👏👏 congratulations 🎈🎊🍾🎉

[@soonerjhtravels]

Very Nice!

[@fanacdc]

Absolutely look forward to seeing your videos, you 2 are living life the way that I wish I had done….69yrs young now, please enjoy every second of the journeys!

[@mavslady1]

Once again, I love watching and living through y’all. I’m going through such a rough time this helps me feel better! I never knew SD was so beautiful! It pains my heart that I can’t get to travel like this. So I love watching through y’all! I life insurance Ft. Worth amd love that Frances and Tim are from here! They are precious! Maybe one day I can make it to Crooked Creek campground! That is so nice!!!!!!

[@sheshemore]

Thank you for filming everything so beautifully!!! ❤️

[@barbaracowan8611]

Great video and wonderful family visit. Thanks for sharing with us. Hugs.

[@Lisa-16]

That cave was amazing! Thanks for sharing. We so enjoy watching your videos, the food, the camping, the adventures. 😊

[@conniewaite1371]

30 years ago,we took our kids to see that area.doesnt look like crazy horse has changed much.then you could take a bus up there everyone would gather on his arm and a picture would be taken of everyone out on the arm.i have heard that at nite they do fireworks at the 4 presidents at nite, but we missed that too. I still want to go back there,loved the smell of the trees in the badlands.thanks for the memories

[@samwheeler1586]

That is so nice

[@claraw7012]

Everyone needs a couple like Timmy and Francis in their lives! Looks like so much fun y’all❤️

[@lindahardy8713]

I’m a Ft Worth native & we now live between Azle & Weatherford. Hope to meet Frances & Timmy on the road.

[@jessys9868]

Beautiful!! Amazing cave. I have heard such good things about that area, it’s on my bucket list to explore

[@AlthoffAdventures]

So sweet they thanked you for spending time with them! Awesome video as always can't wait to watch the next adventure :)

[@sherrieannstockwell9780]
