EVERYTHING Went Wrong \ Tired, Starving and Lost in Idaho

We love Idaho. Our opportunity to visit the Coeur d'Alene area was just something we couldn't pass up. However, sometimes stuff happens. This was one of those days that didn't go quite as planned. As a matter of fact, just about everything went wrong. The wind was against us as was seemingly everything else. We kept a positive attitude though and made some comical and fabulous memories. Special thanks to our friends Patty and Brent for being should wonderful hosts. Please check out their facebook page at: / pbandjtravels

We loved it, despite all the setbacks. ;) Thanks for watching!

[@BoxVanDee]

What a day. I never tried Kayaking.

Don't worry, we are still smiling. :) We appreciate your kind words. :) :) Thanks!

[@valerieenglish3468]

I'm so glad you are looking on the bright side. That was quite an adventure ☺️. A memory for your future selves!!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

So true! We have found that when things like that happen, we end up talking about it years later and laughing about it. ;) Thanks for watching!

[@debbiedobbins6785]

Oh boy guys, what a crazy day on the water. One thing about spirit lake, it can change on a heartbeat. Same as Priest Lake. So fun to see you enjoy the PNW. Gorgeous country up here. We are blessed to have lived up here for over 20 yrs. safe travels…still trying to figure out where that tree is. 😉😉🤗🤗

[@GrassRootsLiving]

So true! The PNW is absolutely beautiful country. :) I have a brother and a sister that live just outside of Seattle. You only have a few days left to find out the answer to the 'tree' question. ;) Thanks again for watching!

[@debbiedobbins6785]

@@GrassRootsLiving goodness you’ve covered so much of the PNW and knowing you have relatives on the western side, I want to say somewhere near Olympia. They have such gorgeous forests over there. 😊

[@glendacrouch1877]

You guys are great!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We think you are great as well!

[@barbarameehan113]

Love your videos. Brings back memories when we camped and kayaked

[@GrassRootsLiving]

That's awesome!

[@rhondagarden8878]

Y'all are a HOOT!! HahaHAhaHaHAHAhaHa! I find that when I have a choice of laughing or crying about something, it's always better to just laugh about it. 😂 Can't wait to see your new camper!!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Agreed! It is wonderful that we always get to choose how we react to something. :) New camper video is coming soon! :) :) :)

[@rhondagarden8878]

@@GrassRootsLiving Oh boy!!!

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Lol, sounds like you made the best of a funky day.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

I always say that we may not be able to pick what happens in a day, but we sure can decide how we will react to it. :) Thanks for following our channel!

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Yep wind like that have to paddle is no fun. Dang then the payoff was closed. If you did not flip over you did well. Great share y'all.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks! Yes, we felt fortunate to have not flipped in the water. Kayaking was a lot of fun with the wind at our backs. ;) Thanks for watching!

[@MelNetteLivingFreeZipCodeless]

Love y’all ♥️ Definitely a day to remember but everyday is a journey right 😄 Great video be safe friends sending love your way 🥰

[@GrassRootsLiving]

You are right! Everyday is a journey. :) :D Thanks for watching and as always we are sending our love back to you. :)

[@kathleen4023]

You look so cute in that pink hat, Shalane.

[@lifenlivin4us]

Thanks, cousin!!!

[@CaliforniaTravelVideos]

We love Kayaking, looks like we just missed you as we were there in Aug. Hopefully our paths will cross soon. -grace

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We will be spending this winter in Florida. We will be missing the mountains, but we need to try the east coast. If you find yourself driving to Florida, be sure to look us up. :)

[@CaliforniaTravelVideos]

We will miss you at Q22 and wish we were with you in Florida with beautiful waters! Michael and Grace 8-)

[@JarheadAndGingersJourney]

Oh boy! You really worked up an appetite. Kayaking is one of Ginger’s goals. We toured some amazing truck campers at the Hershey show. I can’t believe how nice they can be. We published a video of them today.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Kayaking is a lot of fun with the wind at your back. ;) I just got back from the truck camper tour on your channel. Lance is the king of truck campers. :)

[@BackroadsArtStudio]

Oh my gosh, I knew this video was coming (thanks for the sneak story). but yall did such an amazing job. Looked like fun!!!! I love your spirit and your humor.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Ah, thanks so much. We love your spirit and humor as well! :) :D

[@photographyadventuresbygraciel]

I can’t wait to see where y’all are at next week! Y’all visit some very beautiful and amazing places! I’m glad to here everything turned out okay on this adventure! What a beautiful place!! Great video y’all!!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We are going to visit an almost magical place next week. Thanks again for following along. :)

[@jjivy6310]

My son just got back from East Hope, Idaho. He was on the Trestle Creek Complex Fire. Stay safe! He came home with COVID!!! He was vaccinated, so he's ok now.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

So happy to hear that he is okay now. We took the trip in June and we are safe now. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. :)

[@WhoaNellieRVAdventures]

Gotta have those tough days to enjoy the good days. Good to see you up to 9K. Congratulations! You deserve it!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

I always say that. If everyone experienced a perfect day. It would never be appreciated because you would never have anything with which to compare. Thanks so much for your support. One day we will be talking about your 9K subs. :) -Dean

[@DebsWay]

You stay at some of the nicest places!! Hmmm... where did you head? Somewhere with huge trees -- were they Redwood? Have fun!

[@lifenlivin4us]

Hint: They were cedars. ;O)

[@GrassRootsLiving]

As Shalane said, they were Cedars and not Redwoods. However, there have been a few comments where people have mentioned Redwoods. :) Thanks for following our adventures! :)

[@mortenthenorwegian2875]

Haha, Maybe I should drop the idea of buying a kayak. This reminded me of an episode where two gentlemen slid tough and rough down a river. They tried to paddle upstream again with headwinds. They gave up and carried the canoe the rest of the way. Thanks for the nice story.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Never let a little wind ruin your day. lol We had so much fun on those kayaks. (Especially when the wind was behind our backs) ;) Loved your story! By the way, thanks for the pictures you sent. It was beautiful and the lake was so calm, it was like looking at a mirror. :)

[@brentbushman8989]

We went over to Spirit Lake after you guys left and it was rough trying to fight the wind. I had such high hopes for you guys to make a fabulous memory. 🥴, but you do look great in that hat! 😁

[@GrassRootsLiving]

I always look good in my hat....wait, were you talking about Shalane? lol Don't worry, we have a fantastic time with you guys! Great memories. :) :) :) :) :) Thanks! Where did you get that hat? I want to get one for Shalane. She rocked that hat. :) Thanks so much for everything!

[@mannys4036]

Your beautful vibrant smiles says it all! Watching you guys just makes me happy. Thank you.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Comments like yours make us happy! Thanks!

[@jenniferjenson6294]

You look like u are in the Redwoods! I have done a kayak trip with wind! It's not easy!!!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We were not in the Redwoods, but it sure seemed like it. We found that we enjoyed kayaking a lot more with the wind at our backs. lol :) Thanks for following our channel. :)

[@D9P323]

You guys are in North Idaho! Yaaay, can you find good quilt fabric shops in Kootenai County, preferably Couer D'Alene or Post Falls? We're newbies from California, your quilt shop stories are the best on the road stops

[@GrassRootsLiving]

For some strange reason, KZbin sent your comment to our spam box. I am just now seeing this comment. Sorry for the late reply. We were in northern Idaho in June. We visited with some friends we knew there and didn't get a chance to go to quilt shops there. The next time we go that direction, we will try our best to hit a few. We are on the east coast now. We have a great quilt shop tour coming us soon. :) Thanks for watching!

[@D9P323]

@@GrassRootsLiving so we discovered Auntie Linda's Quilt Shop in Athol, not too far from Post Falls Idaho and they're the best quilt shop we've found.

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

What a cute hat!! Yeah I don't like kayaking on rough waters like that. Love that view, though! Oh yeah if I had started out on water like that, I would probably have freaked out and never got on a kayak again lol. Awesome underwater shot! Bummer about the lost footage. But sure looks like a super fun trip! Looks like your in some kind of redwood forest or something. Man I hate waiting to find out. You guys are such teases! I'll try to be patient.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

I agree! I told Shalane that we need to buy her that hat. (She borrowed it from our friends in Idaho because she knew she would be on the lake that sunny day) Hey, we kind of hate to do that to you, but don't worry you won't have to wait too much longer. ;) Patience is a virtue, or so they say. ;) Thanks friends!

[@TerriRomano]

I absolutely love the music you use. Where can I purchase it?

[@lifenlivin4us]

Hi, Terry. So glad you like the music. It's one of my favorite parts of creating these videos. I purchase all my music from epidemic sound. The link is in the description. But when I hear a song I like on a video, I just use my phone to find out what it is. I go to the google homepage, hit the mic and hold it up to the computer. It tells me what song it is and usually gives me a KZbin link to the actual music video! I'm SUUUPER excited about the song I found for next week's video. Thank you so much for watching.

[@wendingourway]

Yikes...my nightmare and one of the reasons I have yet to try myself on a kayak! lol Makes me think of the times that I stop on the trails and Otis just looks at me as if to say, "Snack time?", nope not yet, this café is closed, continue on, stop again, that look from Otis...if someone was watching I am sure they would probably think I never feed him! lol Happy to see you still smiling through it all. Take great care...Bruce and Otis

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Love the Otis story. I can tell that Otis is well cared for. :) We really did enjoy our kayaking experience. Especially the downwind part. lol Thanks for watching!

[@JC.Journey]

Oh goodness, what a day! We find crazy adventures like this become the most memorable. Thanks for taking us along on your first paddle! Those trees look very PNW, are you getting closer to our neck of the woods? Look forward to the next video! -Jody & Chris

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We have a friend at California Travel Videos that has a hat that says something like, 'the biggest mistakes make for the best adventures'. lol The trip we took was in June. We made it to Coeur d'Alene, ID. Only a few miles from Spokane, WA.

[@JC.Journey]

@@GrassRootsLiving Great saying! 👍 You were a few hours east of us! Looks like you enjoyed a grand time!
