[@carlafranklin3081]

Love, love, love the singing...I sang along with you. Thanks for sharing.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Thanks so much

[@lovinaswarey1651]

It takes some hearty souls to live in Alaska I’d say! I think I’ll stay in Pennsylvania! Enjoy your singing !! The song I grew up with and know by heart!

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Alaska is beautiful and it’s not for the faint of heart because it’s a long way from anywhere.

[@lynnelovett8999]

Elvie so glad you made it to your brother's home and spending time with your brother Joas/family. Beautiful Alaska . Beautiful music...♥️🙏. Elvie I pray you have a safe trip home 🙏. God bless you all ♥️🙏.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Thank you so much!

[@swissmiss857]

This was very nice, Elvie. It's good to see you two brothers spending time with each other and catching up. Thank you for sharing this part of your lives. I'm sure you and Joas have traveled many roads together through the years. God bless.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@storeytwinb]

What a blessing to see you with your brother and his family in that beautiful place ❤ Have a safe trip home!

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Thank you so much!

[@DisneyUpBoilerUp]

Aweee. This made my heart so happy. Listening in the morning. Lovely songs to set up a positive day. But watching that tunnel always does make me a little claustrophobic😂

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

The tunnel was a bit claustrophobic.

[@mary1494]

I used to attend a congregation that sang acapella, some of the larger congreations 400 plus people.. wow.. so pretty. From small gatherings to large, there is so much joy in hearing that.. thank you for sharing.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

We grew up with four-part acappella harmony, and I love it.

[@AnnRoss-ox4vf]

So appreciate your videos of this trip to Alaska. Yes the scenery is outstanding. Great job with that! But the greatest blessing is that you chose to travel that distance to be with your young brother and his family. This has got to have blessed your mother and Dad so much to watch this. It is a testimony of Gods love for, in and through families. Even though family members may move far away, staying in touch and continue to communicate that love for each other is so important in this day and hour we find our country in. And after what Joan and his family have gone through the past several months, your visit would be a great encouragement to them. God bless your journey. Safe travels!🇺🇸

[@AnnRoss-ox4vf]

I apologize for the misspelling of Joas name. I clicked edit but it would not respond.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Thank you!

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

Montana Haven are the best family videos out there ! Always great adventures.

Thank you Elvie. Anytime is a good time to give God praise and sing worship songs.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Agreed

[@dennismcmillin2197]

Looks like you and Joas had a nice road trip together. Too bad you couldn't get your tall Americana with extra cream and honey like you like it!! 😉 loved the harmony!!!!

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Dennis, I had a great time. I wish I would’ve had more time to stay there, but this is not a long trip.

[@patmaier6917]

Enjoyed this video. Sorry to hear Cabelas is being sold. Loved your singing it is so pretty.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Cabela’s is being bought out by Bass Pro shops, so it will still be around as a brand as far as I know.

[@em4steam896]

The Cabella's store in Dundee, Michigan has a lot of different animals including elephant, rhinos and lions! It is worth the visit if ever in the area. Great video!

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

So cool!

[@PatrinaRognvaldsson]

Beautiful video, thankyou

Thank you

[@annemaguire657]

I loved this, I always got the impression that Ellvie (being the eldest) was a tad standoffish, but not so, great family through and through The singing was great……and I’m not one bit holy, but heyho 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

😀

[@mary1494]

Love the singing ❤

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

I hope to get some video of four-part harmony singing here with families in the community soon if I get a chance. It is my one of my life passions.

[@evalinawarne1337]

My German father born in 1922. He also wood carved Same size wood as you plus much more. He a German Hillabilla hillbilly. Grew up in the mountains ski resort village. He was very talented like you

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

I have met some German hillbillies before. One came over to visit us from the Black Forest and he gave us a locally made cuckoo clock! He was an outdoorsman and a logger.

[@andreamorrison8419]

So happy Elvie that you got to spend time with Joas and the family. Hopefully, you have got the truck working correctly. It is very beautiful in Alaska

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

I think In the next videos you will see I had more trouble, but every time the weather warmed up to -20 F it operated flawlessly again!

[@andreamorrison8419]

Hmm, I wonder why it's doing that?.

[@TheLizardKing1967]

We eat Scapple in Lancaster PA. A Swiss German Tradition. Great video!

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Cool, thanks

[@lindaSee89]

Oh, inside the hotel, the restaurant was closed? Inside the hotel there is a restaurant and a small grocery store. I know this because another KZbin creator went to Whitaker, stayed in the hotel and went fishing. Thank you for a beautiful tour.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

I think some parts of town were closed for the winter and it’s pretty slow there until the summer season picks up.

[@warriorgirl8118]

Beautiful scenery and great information on Alaska you men are inspiring and informative and entertaining I enjoy watching you make your incredible homes and your trips😊❤happy valentines 💝 day to you and your entire family 😊😊

Amazing 🤩

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Thanks 🤗

[@beckyray8746]

Such beautiful harmony…. Elvie, it seems you are quite taken in by Alaska. Think there could be a possibility of extended returns or living there if even on an extended stay basis?

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

It’s beautiful. I could live here, but got lots of stuff going on in Montana so it’s doubtful. But I definitely will return.

[@geroldknoebel3836]

Very nice video. First of all, best wishes to your brother and his family. Oh yes, laugh, he's getting older and his beard is slowly turning gray. But that's the way it is, what can I say at 70. I still ride my ATV 1000 ccm Arctic Cat and off I go. Greetings from Frankfurt

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Thank you!

[@peggetennant]

Really enjoyed this. Thank you.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@theoriginaldudette5535]

Anchorage Cabela's is a tourist destination. We stop by several times. Ask the native wildlife on display is impressive.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

It’s an outrageous collection, the best I’ve seen.

[@Doc1855]

My wife and I have always wanted to go to Alaska for the scenery and the fishing. Elvie, I’m glad you’re getting some time to spend with your family. It’s always a special time when families have a chance to enjoy each other’s company. On another note, let me share with you a breakfast recipe from my family that goes back well over 100 years. It’s called Chocolate Gravy. Everything is measured in Heaping Tablespoons. 3 Tbsp Sugar 2 Tbsp Flour 1 Tbsp Dark (or milk) Cocoa 8 Oz Milk 1 pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly. Heat until the consistency is like thin chocolate pudding. Pour into a bowl or plate and add a pat of butter. Stir the butter until it’s melted. Add precooked biscuits and precooked bacon. ENJOY !!! This is common in Oklahoma, Arkansas and parts of Texas.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Sounds delisch.

[@claudiasmith5257]

LOL ~ I just made myself a cup of coffee and sat down to watch this fantastic video ~ great video Elvie ~ 👍🏻

[@Doc1855]

When I was a young boy my parents lived in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. I remember my dad and their friends or cousins would drive our old jeep onto the lake, and cut 2 holes in the ice with chainsaws on either side of the Jeep so they could sit in the Jeep and fish. Back on shore the wives and us children would be around the fire, or us kids would be playing. The men would come back to shore with their catch of the day and they’d fry fish and potatoes. That was dinner. My parents lost $4.5 million dollars in land development so we went from Riches to Rags. We literally had to live off of the land. If it weren’t for wild game and fish, we would have starved to death. After a few years my folks got tired of living hand to mouth so my dad applied for a job working for Rockwell and eventually Hanford Nuclear Power Plant in Washington state. My mom started carrying mail for the Post Office. My dad retired as Chief Mechanical Engineer and my mom retired as Post Master.

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

You went through a lot of life experiences. Sounds like you need a log home.

[@Doc1855]

@@AmishMeadowsOfficial Elvie, that’s the plan. Later this summer we plan on making a trip to Montana to visit with my wife’s family. Her family is all over MT. If we do make it, we will go to Libby to check out Amish Meadows / Meadowlark Log Cabins. I heard that y’all might have some land that’s available for sale. Furthermore, I’d like to meet you in person and have a cup (or several cups) of coffee with you.

Bass Pro is a grown Man’s, Chucky Cheese

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

It’s a really nice place.

[@Doc1855]

I’m confused about something. A few times now you’ve mentioned that the water in your exhaust system froze? I don’t understand. Every diesel pickup we’ve ever owned never had to have any fluid whatsoever in an exhaust system. I’m guessing that I’m very naive about this. Can you please explain what water has to do with an exhaust system?

[@AmishMeadowsOfficial]

Every diesel engine in the United States that was built in 2011 or newer has to be built with the exhaust after treatment system, called diesel exhaust fluid or DEF. It is 65% water, and the rest is ammonia and it sprayed into the exhaust stream and renders the exhaust smoke colorless and harmless. The DEF tank has a heater, but in extreme weather, I believe the heater wasn’t able to keep up and the tank froze.

[@Doc1855]

@@AmishMeadowsOfficial Thank you. I didn’t know that. So why aren’t All vehicles produced with a Diesel engine? If there’s no pollution, it seems like that would be the way to go.
