[@MrfiX725]

Looking forward to watching your new adventure!!!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks so much, Francisco! Adventure is definitely the right word for this year! 👍 -Howard

[@mreppen1]

Been there 3 times. Never go in the summer, you will die. But it’s beautiful.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

I love the park rangers who are enamored with their parks! The people who were stuck on the valley floor in 1849 were my ancestors. 50/50 chance my great great grandmother named it. OH and then you went on Island Packers to Santa Cruz - my old stomping grounds! If we still had our boat, you would have gone past it and my best friend is one of the owners of Island Packers :)

[@kxrv6629]

Another informative video. First came to Death Valley in the mid-60s when my family traveled in a Ford Travelwagon camper van. We actually drove up the Golden Canyon road you showed in it. Looks like you have a Toad. We don’t. We most recently visited DV in 2022. We drove our View up to Dante’s View to beat the heat (in February).

[@dzacekmarr6317]

You are amazing, very positive couple. I love your KZbin channel.

[@twoods1969]

Thank you for this video! We had no idea there was so much to see and do. We always (and unfortunately) thought that Death Valley was just a very hot and dry place..... Can't wait to visit it!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks so much, Tom! Death Valley is definitely worth the effort to visit. We hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍🏻 - Howard

[@twoods1969]

Definitely! We've visited 5 NPs so far, planning on visiting Yellowstone, Tetons and Teddy Roosevelt here in a few weeks. And we love your channel, almost caught up from the beginning. 👍 Getting ready to watch the Mighty 5 next, of which we plan on visiting in 2026. Keep on keeping on! ❤️

[@adventuresofMomDadGirlWhiteDog]

That Ranger was amazing!! I love her enthusiasm. 🤩 Great video! Death Valley is most definitely on my list. 😉

[@wandadruhan9935]

So glad I found you on RV Unplugged. This makes me caught up. I went back and watched from the beginning. I’m sorry, I forgot to like some, I get so caught up in them I forget or one of the toddlers get quiet and I when I get back it’s gone on to the next video.

[@virginialemm864]

Oh my goodness! What a fascinating place….I haven’t been there since I was a child. There is so much to see and do in our State (and others, of course!), Death Valley is now another on “the list”! The immense size of it mind-boggling, so as you say, you must allow several days to really be able to take it all in. Wow…what a fascinating life of the Puff fish! You were SO LUCKY to go see them up close and personal! I learned so much about them, thank you! Sunday is my happy time watching the Newstate Nomads! I know I’ve said it many times before, but I truly mean it, thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your lives with us! You are so appreciated, more than you know. As always, love to you two, Virginia.

[@pglen6042]

Pretty sure Death Valley Park wouldn't be on my bucket list, too forbidding .Fascinating video. P

[@susandt3856]

I had no desire to visit Death Valley until I watched this video. What beauty! Great job. And can I say, you 2 are just the cutest!

[@NewstateNomads]

YAY! Mission accomplished! That's why we love sharing these stories and places. Thank you so much, Susan! ♥

[@ErikaHueneke-sw4sk]

The kids love these videos! I visited Death Valley several years ago solo. Need to go back with the whole fam!

[@CurieuxNomades]

Really interesting vlog! Many things we didn’t know about this park. Congrats on your 59K subs! 🥳 Anne & Eric

[@primalperry5667]

Great video! Cool spot, it's on our list. Your park ranger was a wonderful story teller too!

[@acceleratedmoderation7348]

Great submission as always. We have been watching you on RV Unplugged. You are a class act. Even if you don't get the prize you are still winners.

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so very much! That is such a wonderful compliment and means the world to us! Thanks for watching both here and on RV Unplugged! ❤ -Katelyn

[@iamfaithfullyhis]

A lot of great views! 👀

[@ladikmk]

That was fascinating! Can you imagine the looks on early settlers faces when they saw Death Valley for the first time? I imagine there was no shortage of people taking the long way around, but wow - those views are jaw dropping incredible. To say those blue Pup fish are cute is an understatement. That blue just pops against the stones. Great video! Thanks so much for sharing this stark but beautiful NP. Safe travels!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, Lis! I think about what it would be like for early settlers and even those in colonial times to see a place for the first time. How incredible it must have been to not know what you were about to see! 👍 -Howard

[@tarac5137]

Congratulations on 50k! Woo hooooooo!!!! ⭐ Thanks for showing us Death Valley, and especially the pup fish. They are cute. Incredible work by the rangers.

[@nancycronin601]

Just started watching this series. It is so fun and so very well done. I had no idea Death Valley was so varied in landscape. I have visited 15 of the parks so far but none are ones you covered yet. Excited for those but really enjoying the ones that are new to me. Thanks for all the work you put into these amazing videos.

[@NewstateNomads]

Nancy, thanks so much! We're glad you're along for the journey. 👍 -Howard

[@b1mfua33]

This is one of the most beautiful videos. Unbelievable how beautiful Death Valley is. Thank goodness they saved the pupfish. They are so tiny and beautiful ❤️. Thank you for this.❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@sally_forth]

I’m guessing you went out through Panamint but if you had gone towards Trona, you could have seen the Trona Pinnacles an had a Quick stop in Randsburg too. Nice vid!

[@Rejoicewithsinging]

Totally awesome!!! I sure enJOY these sights! Yous are almost at 50K subscribers!!!!🎉❤ Soo happy for ya’s!!!! Give those precious puggles a hug for me please ❤️😉

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, Amy, and yes, we're less than 50 people away from 50,000!! It's been incredible to see the growth of the channel and the impact we're making in helping everyone explore the world around us! 👍 - Howard

[@johneason6540]

Awesome on your upcoming Channel Islands. I want to go about the end of May when I'm in California

[@FittingInAdventure]

Great job! Death Valley was our nearest NP before we hit the road. We spent a lot of time there. Great job highlighting its best features!

[@NewstateNomads]

Means a lot to hear that from a local!! Thanks so much, and we're so glad you're along for the journey! 👍 - Howard

[@shannonalward217]

I didn’t realize how cool this park is! What a great video!

[@karlamartins2761]

Excellent and informative video! I did not know there were so many different climates and elevations in the park. The scenery is breathtaking all around.

[@jeanninekalua9016]

Wow, ive never been to this park. Now i would love to go visit and maybe do some plein-air painting while there.

[@NewstateNomads]

Jeannine, that sounds like a GREAT idea! Particularly all the colors and shadows. 👍 -Howard

[@jeanninekalua9016]

@@NewstateNomads agee, those colors andnshapes are amazing! Thank you for sharing, im rapidly adding to my travel and visit bucket list!

[@bigjimslade6250]

Who Dey Howard 🐅. We enjoyed the Death Valley video. It looks like you’re getting used to handling the Class A Winnebago. Keep up the good work. We’re looking forward to seeing the rest of your national park tours.

[@dawnie3029]

Thanks for another great video about our National Parks. Makes me want to go back there and do more exploring. Also, Katelyn makes eating look so enjoyable.

[@Thesaltymedic36]

Well Death Valley looks awesome. After watching this I’m glad my Rv is 21’ long 😂. Not a place to visit in the summer though. Great video 👍🏼

[@jenniferpray7562]

Love the video….thanks friends! But…I remember seeing 135 degrees F in Tikrit, Iraq on FOB Speicher in summer 2004. 😳😉

[@BevDessert]

Enjoy the Death Valley 49ers Encampment annually the 2nd week of November. Meet some of the decendants of the original 49ers. The weather is better too.

[@pedrozatravel]

Great job on the video, I love hiking through Death Valley

[@sandrap3047]

Great video! Enjoying your NP series! Love watching you two on RV Unplugged! You rocked at karaoke!

[@uncagedtravels6391]

Great video. We are enjoying your National Park series.

[@pglen6042]

Looking forward to this video of Death Valley as a park.

[@robertdoyen5434]

Great video enjoy your series very much. I’ve seen all the warm weather. Today is Monday, April 17 and we’re gonna snow in Wisconsin. We made it to Yellowstone last September are excited about getting a little bit farther west thanks for all the high points. Thanks from Wisconsin.

[@johneason6540]

You guys are fantastic on your tours. I have been here several times, but have not been to the crater?? But, I did climb Telescope peak, tallest point in the park, about 12,700. At that point you can see the lowest point in lower US, Badwater basin and you can see the highest point Mt. Whitney. It was awesome. When you get to Great Basin NP, be sure to take the Lehman Caves, my ranger Lauren was awesome ❤❤❤

[@KristinHentschel-so1lq]

Loving your National Park series of videos. You two choose to go off the beaten path much like we do when we visit places. Gives us a nice list of places to go when we make it to the park. As a side note, our neighbor usually spends the winter in Death Valley and does volunteer docent type speeches on the history of the 20 mule teams and their wagons. Very interesting story behind them. Can’t wait to see your next video and add to our notes of places to see! Safe travels!

[@waynehogue2499]

We love this new NP series! My wife wants to know where you got your back pack. Thanks

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks so much, Wayne! I got the bag on Amazon (I absolutely love it and now have 2 different colors). 😃 Here's the link: amzn.to/41k2CMJ

[@douglassteele1009]

Really enjoying your National Park tour. Would love to see how living in the Vista NP works. How does it drive? How does it tow both up and downhill? Very interested in this model. Would you recommend the Vista NP? Likes /dislikes. Keep up the good work. Enjoy watching you on RV Unplugged also.

[@karppadiem7014]

Congrats on 50K subs! 🎉🎉💞💞 Cool and unique place. Such a large area to cover in a single park. Beautiful though. Thanks for taking us along. 🎉💖 -Troy & Aimee (turkey legs always remind me of Disney World💞)

[@matthewphillips3926]

Driving 2 hours and overheating your vehicle brakes seems like a small price to pay to see the tadpoles

[@davidvick749]

BEEN THERE DONE IT AND SEEN IT.

[@dawng5065]

Which app that Howard mentioned in the beginning of your video are you using in the parks?

[@NewstateNomads]

Dawn, it's the official NPS app! The new version was released a little over a year ago, excellent free resource. 👍 -Howard

[@starinvader5969]

If you two, get the chance in the future. Why not try the coldest place on Earth. (East Antarctica Plateau)

[@pglen6042]

So glad the little pupfish were saved from extinction.

[@iFriendofYours]

Is that your RV or W? I just found you, so just curious.

[@NewstateNomads]

Always good to be curious! 🤣 We own a Winnebago Navion, and for the parks tour Winnebago has loaned us a Vista NPF. Glad you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard

[@pglen6042]

Your Vista doesn't look very aerodynamic, is there a secret to the boxiness?

[@NewstateNomads]

Haha, nope, no secret, but they do use the front grill scoops and other areas to make it as aerodynamic as possible. 👍 -Howard

[@blueberrypancakes1974]

What is the app called?

[@NewstateNomads]

The link is in the description, it's by a company called Action Tours. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻 - Howard

[@rodneyferree9766]

Loved rANGER aNNIE!

[@airsingh137]

Hey ! Are u looking for a video editor?

[@jamesclick8223]

I would gave her my coat.

[@adventuresofMomDadGirlWhiteDog]

That’s very thoughtful of you. 😊

[@chuckgreer1137]

These videos are not as entertaining since you started working for Winnebago.

[@NewstateNomads]

Chuck, sorry to hear you're not enjoying our National Parks series. We planned for two years the route, getting permission for filming (including special access like the NPS ranger giving us a tour of the Devil's Hole in this episode), and Winnebago's support is what made that all possible. Thanks for watching. - Howard

[@kxrv6629]

Another informative video. First came to Death Valley in the mid-60s when my family traveled in a Ford Travelwagon camper van. We actually drove up the Golden Canyon road you showed in it. Looks like you have a Toad. We don’t. We most recently visited DV in 2022. We drove our View up to Dante’s View to beat the heat (in February).
