Andy said that the room at your hotel has typical small town decor - dark and dingy. We were lucky on our trip to Yosemite as we were just driving out and there was a baby bear running alongside the road with its very big mummy chasing him. Needless to say we didn’t stop as were told mummy bears can be very aggressive

[@naturalthomas9157]

It’s always worth the extra money to actually stay in the park instead of driving in and out each day. And being in the park at night is a wonderful experience.

[@RachMurrell]

Just did this exact same journey from SF to Yosemite and couldn't believe the scenery ! Was great to reminisce watching this and can't wait to see what's still to come !

[@LordandLordettes]

You need to take a black light with you to check for blood stains on the bed! 😳 That room looks straight out of Supernatural!

[@ilsehunt6338]

I love oakhurst , we always stayed there it was fabulous. It was a one horse town when we stayed there! Okeefs was fantastic for food ! We always came in a via the most scenic route from San Fran ! We’d come through Yosemite and wonder around and then spend the night in oakhurst on our way down to Anaheim ! Great vlog x

[@ilsehunt6338]

I love oakhurst , we always stayed there it was fabulous. It was a one horse time when we stayed there! Okeefs was fantastic for food ! We always came in a different way from San Fran ! We’d come through Yosemite and wonder around and then spend the night in oakhurst on our way down to Anaheim ! Great vlog x

[@pambond8205]

So fun seeing you two explore in my backyard. I am so impressed with how you get around so easily. I was in the city today helping my daughter and I asked if she knew the meaning of Coit Tower (she lives in SF) and she told me that it’s a look out. WELL, since I watched your video I was able to tell her that it’s a monument to firefighters. It was so funny that I knew something that she didn’t because of Leigh and Nick from the UK 🥰

[@Gymmom128]

I am quite surprised you did not ask for a different room at The Cedar Point motel. That room was grim… it served its purpose! Loving the road trip!! ❤❤❤

[@amandadodgson2444]

Beautiful scenery on your drive up to Yosetime...watch out for the black bears on your way...we can't wait for you to get to Vegas, Park MGM a great choice, a new pedestrian bridge right outside the hotel, with Dennys, the ABC store, Marshalls and Target across the road, all worth a look at. Enjoy your road trip and thanx again for showing us.

[@m.k.5608]

Love this road trip! Can not wait to see what is ahead! Thanks for sharing.

[@davidevans6052]

So great to watch this vlog as I did that drive from SF through maripossa to cedar lodge . I liked staying at this lodge but remember it was very dingy.Fond memories of my California trip in 2018 🇬🇧

[@Chieftracyhorse]

Loving your trip so far! Bring back memories of a Yosemite trip from 20 years ago! ❤️

[@nicolaward1034]

Wow the views are amazing 😍 Really enjoying the vlogs & looking forward to the next one! Take care guys xx

[@booksmusicandcoffee]

My Grandparents lived in Oakhurst. We would go to Yosemite whenever we visited them. Brings back memories.

[@deniseconaway701]

Could almost feel like I’m on this road trip with you both, so much beauty, your poor mum, hope she’s feeling better xx

[@mtnlaurel12]

I've just started watching this vlog. When you said that about your mom fretting about the rocks sticking out on those curves, it reminded me of my childhood. I had to stop and comment because East Tennessee has curves with rocks sticking out where they had cut the road out of the side of the mountain like that, except East Tennessee is a whole lot greener. We used to go to the lake and the roads on the way had drop offs. My mom would lean toward the middle of the car and tell all the kids to stay away from the doors. It made me laugh. 😃

[@ToriJaneIvy]

loving this road trip so far! Yosemite looks so nice can't wait to see the next vlog.xx

[@Kiki-rt8uw]

Yeah, new vlog! Loving it

[@annmariedemotto1942]

I believe if my Bay Area compass is correct you were driving on the San Mateo bridge were you on the 92 interstate? Livermore is just about 25 mins from my city. I hope you enjoyed California as much as I love enjoy calling it home .

[@gilscot100]

OMG guys. You passed my door. HWY 580 goes right passed Pleasanton and my house is about 250 yards from the freeway. Livermore (where you stopped for gas and Panera) is the next town over. After you came over the Altamont pass (with all the wind turbines) the flat land was the Central Valley which is all farmland (irrigated) that grows over 25% of all of the USA veg. Orchards are almonds and other nuts, and some citrus.

[@amandamcgilligan9783]

Great vlog . scenery looks amazing . Looking for to the next one guys 😀

[@amandam1143]

OMG we stayed at Cedar Lodge back in the 90’s think it was the same decor then 😂 We also saw it on Americas most wanted once as someone that worked there was known as the Yosemite Serial Killer !! Loving this road trip. Can’t wait for more. Also sending hugs and positive thoughts for Nick’s mum xx

[@meridethcooper7395]

Was it the guy that killed 4 women? His brother was a kidnap victim in the 70s that returned 7 yrs later?

[@CarlessSarah]

I’m watching the series about that on Disney plus at the moment!

[@Scott_In_Florida]

Love the vlogs. You both are very funny. To answer your question about home deliveries in the USA - yes, many places, including Walmart, deliver directly to your home. Maybe I'll get the chance to meet you both when you head back to Orlando. Thank you for sharing your life and just being you. Cheers!

[@stevenandnicola123]

Great video lads. You're inspiring me to drive in the US! Looks fantastic take it easy fellas.

[@bec.11]

Looks so amazing, another great vlog guys 👍 😁 🇦🇺 🙋‍♀️

[@ziggzziggz5221]

So sorry to hear about your mum Nick, love to you all, loving the vlogs !

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you

[@tallactordude]

I will say the lighting in the hotel room made it look like something from a David Lynch movie. At least they had a couple of Ansel Adams prints on the wall - when I visited Yosemite 32 years ago I bought one of the posters and have it framed and hanging on a wall in my condo. I could sense you were happier with your meal at Panera bread then you were at the restaurant at the hotel.

[@gumshoe5365]

I would throw those bed sheets as far away from the bed as possible in that dingy room.

[@subbydee4643]

Love watching your California Vlogs 👍you guys are brilliant 😊

[@jaccroft]

Was waiting with anticipation for this one, as it’s been a bit longer than usual between vlogs. It’s obvious now, why . I always , admire people who can drive abroad . We do Florida driving but not sure I could do something like this . Scenery looks gorgeous, and room at Yosemite looks scary . 😩 shame about the food too, but at least you are not the food ! For the bear that is ! 😂 Hope you have a good sleep 💤 Love you guys ❤️

[@psfca]

Love your travel vlogs !

[@stephmcghie8732]

Beautiful scenery loving your adventure x

[@lewfullwood4345]

Love this, sorry to hear about your mum nick x

[@davidh2414]

Keep Driving Nick you can do it, Wild Bears Yeah I'd be doing a Runner too, I've not been too good over last few days think I've over done it Pacemakers on one so I thought catch up with you guys, guys you've done it yet again Relaxed me so Thankyou my best David x

[@markhowson9694]

While Leigh was walking to the hotel room, I said to Diane that it looked like the kind of place the Winchesters used to stay in while hunting monsters 😆

[@adriansharpe8883]

We stopped in Mariposa in 2019, loved it. You also missed a great outlet at Livermore.

[@kevinardoin6171]

Hey guys. My wife and i are watching your Yosemite vlog and interesting tid bit. This place was the location of a triple homicide back in 1999. The motel handyman murdered a mother, daughter and daughter's friend. What a coincidence!

[@cess8884]

Loving your travels. We've just had our Orlando holiday cancelled for second time. First COVID now Virgin has cancelled all flights from Scotland April -June, decided not meant to be!

[@stevensteve7618]

Most stores have delivery service or we use grocery delivery apps like Instacart which offers delivery from most grocery shops

[@ladymiriamful]

That San Francisco wind is something else 🥶

[@sarahmelvin166]

Walmart deliver, either from the store on the same day or 1 day delivery via FedEx or UPS. We're really quite sophisticated these days. 😅 Really enjoying this series, desperate to visit the Madonna hotel now!

[@kellymitchell6478]

Another lovely day guys 😊

[@CarlessSarah]

Was watching this today and now watching a true crime show on Disney plus called Captive Audience and saw that Cedar Lodge is in it!!! (ep 3)

[@grahamjones5379]

Enjoyed lads 👦

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks

[@p.j.driton4528]

Great videos. Just a tip. Next time you stop at Walmart, or a grocery store, go to the baby department and buy some baby wipes. They work great in the car to wipe hands on the go. Most come in a flip-top box to stay fresh. They should last an entire trip. Can you tell I'm a mom.....lol.

[@shirleyz7400]

I do that too even though my kids are all grown up. Make up artists have said they use it to remove make up because it works & much cheaper.

[@lesliereynolds4492]

Didn’t finish my comment. Sometimes you find a place you wish you never went to. We stopped at a stand alone Mexican restaurant somewhere by where you went and it was great. I love these travel vlogs, always checking to see if you’ve posted again.

[@ADE2366]

Send him through ☎️ 😂😂😂👍🏼, went we visited Yosemite we stayed at The Tenaya Lodge, it was fabulous.

[@normalincoln8502]

Great vlogs.

[@samanthahobbs2966]

We stayed in the same hotel, I thought it looked familiar!

[@lynnnovick7644]

America is full of home delivery. Everything can be delivered to us. All grocery stores, restaurants.

[@sarahbown8869]

Hope both enjoy your holiday how's is nick mum is xx how are you both x

[@alisonl777]

There was some beautiful scenery there on your road trip,at one point I could envisage 'Dorothy from The wizard of oz ' in one of those farm houses on the road side..I have to confess I pronounced 'YOSEMITE' the same as Mark 🙈 but now I know how to pronounce it properly! Great vlog as always guys 💙💙 xx

[@thelmabrindley2369]

Stunning scenery. Pity about your room. It did look grim

[@keiththomas6861]

Great vlog are you planning another one?

[@janedrzewiecki4531]

You can gat delivery but it’s not that popular. Amazon is but not Amazon food. Depends where you live in US for the Amazon food delivery. We go shopping for food lol

[@Followmikey]

Park MGM! Warning, wall so thin this resort you can hear your neighbor urinate in their toilet!

[@Atheenah]

Guys, why do you stay at the dregs of hotels? We have some gorgeous hotels in America. You could easily stay even at a Marriott which is not terribly expensive but a much better hotel chain.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We stayed at Marriots and Sheratons and things like that on this trip. Nice to try other chains etc. also. We tried a variety on this trip

[@sandydisneyfan8355]

The comments about the Cedar Lodge on Trip Advisor are pretty grim.

[@gumshoe5365]

The resort was probably fabulous in the 50’s and 60’s but now…. Yikes

[@donnamatthews1964]

Hot tub obviously wasn’t Disney hot🤣. For some reason when you showed the bathroom psycho sprung to mind🤣

[@stevenb1804]

Why was Lee bobbing up and down in hot tub 😂

[@shirleydunn8050]

I wonder who was murdered in that motel room? 😳

[@shirleyz7400]

See from comments that could have ghost there. If you ever confronted by a bear don't run because they will see you as prey. Hope you didn't have nightmares there.✌️👍🤪

[@lesliereynolds4492]

That wasn’t nachos, it was chips and salsa. You have to at least put cheese on it. Sometimes you find a gem, younger know.

[@kerris6163]

Leigh, I literally yelled NOOO when I saw that apricot scrub. Its SO bad for your skin. Please just get a liquid exfoliator like Paula’s Choice AHA (black bottle). My dermatologist would be so disappointed in me if I ever used that terrible scrub on anything but my feet.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

it's great stuff it's crushed walnut shells so great for the environment too

[@andrewnuttall333]

You can watch about the murders on 20-20 hope you survived and this isnt your last vlog???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@johnpollitt8521]

You've been Tangoed

[@celtic_G]

You guys stay at the Yosemite killers work and hotel he stayed and killed 3 women... Cary Stayner murder . . Hope it wasn't the same room .

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yikes

[@elainesayles4624]

Not the best of hotels you've stayed in so far.
