Very cool sharing guys 😊 BIG 👍 from your Danish friend

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Hi, our Danish friends! Thanks so much - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@mikenowak2360]

Thank you for sharing . We love that beautiful Bar Tender but we are her parents lol. 575 is a great place to visit live music. In fact that bartender sings in a band and has a beautiful voice.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Best bartender ever! Not only beautiful on the outside but inside too! We so hope we can see her live singing! Next time we are back in the area & we can all go to a show! ❤️ Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@garykrissteiner1004]

I was never anxious to spend much time in NM until you started showing us how nice it is. Now it's on our must-see list!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We were really impressed with New Mexico and glad we can inspire you to travel there!! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

White Sands reminds us so much of Navarre Beach and The Gulf Shores National Seashore! Looks like y'all had a lot of fun including Maya! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We had a blast! And so did Maya- thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@brendanwalsh1675]

[@ginadollarhyde195]

This was a great video 😃 You guys always look like you are having so much fun. Thank you for sharing with all of us ☺️

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Life is all about having a good time, isn't it? We believe in enjoying every moment to the fullest, and nothing brings us more joy than a hearty laugh. The sledding was an absolute riot! We couldn't stop laughing and having a good time. We really hope that our happy memories brought a smile to your face too! Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@MooreToLifeOutdoors]

The sand sledding looked like a lot of fun! Makes for a great workout too! Its very sad about the missing hiker! Hopefully he was found safe!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

The missing hiker was found safe! We highly recommend the sledding as it's a blast! Thanks guys- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@justramblinaround]

We just love you guys your so much like us when you travel!! We so would have taken sleds down those hills!! Yes I would have been alarmed watching for snakes and all the things that they warned me about but would have had to be like a kiddo!!! Yummy lots of free pistachios sign us up for those. Maya was living her best life our little Minnie started talking to her when she was wining in your truck lol! Brewery looks awesome we have a long list of those we love especially when uts comfortable and you meet such good folks. You mention Vets like we do too!! I always love thanking the vets all the time we would have made great friends with them too we do that everywhere we go!! Safe travels looking forward to more!!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We will definitely have some fun when we get together!! We were impressed by this area and so much to do! We love pistachios & the tasting was like a lunch for us 😆! And how cute Minnie was excited for Maya to go to White Sands!! 🐾Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@thewanderingshores]

You had a much better day at White sands than we did. It was so windy. It had closed all of the trails and so we were only able to go a short distance away from the parking lot and didn't have a chance to do any sledding. By the way, that pork tenderloin dinner looked amazing. Definitely going to add that to our stop when we're in the area.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We did have a beautiful day at White Sands!! We think Maya had the most fun & Joel did an amazing job cooking!! Thanks, guys- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@AWOLlcdrpeterson]

We miss Football Season!!!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We so miss football season!! It is the best - March Madness is upon us! So that will be something to watch, but nothing like football! Thanks & Go Packers 🙌 Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@mikesleigher932]

Best sledding this there.. Not in the snow freezing... 😂😂😂

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

You don't get cold & wet in like in the snow, but you do get sand everywhere!! 😆 So fun! Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@RoadtrippinwithTakacs]

Nicely done. Too bad you couldn't go further on the trail. It's pretty amazing back in the canyon. There's always next time. 👍

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Deb got sick and we weren't able to do the hike. But we have it on our list for next time! We heard it was beautiful in the canyon! Thanks -Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

So sad that a hiker is missing. Aww sweet Maya! Were there stickers around there; seems Meka always finds the stickers. Love me some pistachios!! Green chili sounds interesting! Very nice spot and great setup for cooking! Those Philly cheesesteaks looked yummy!! Can’t wait to visit those sand dunes!! Looks like so much fun!! Great video guys!!!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We are glad the missing hiker was found and we had not seen that before, ever. We really enjoyed trying all the pistachios and Joel did an amazing job on the cheesesteaks!! Sledding is the best & you guys will have a blast when you visit there! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@joannedavis7346]

You 2 are too funny! Glad to see Deb went dune sledding too! We’ve been to the Deming, NM Lescombes Winery twice. It was our 1st Harvest Host stop!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

The sledding was so fun! We think Maya loved it the most! You found a great place for your first Harvest Host!! We are planning a stop there again as we head to Texas for the solar Eclipse!! Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@robertdoyen5434]

Wow is that the most trails you ever done in one day LOL. Great park and a lot to see and do. Not sure 🤔 if you’re in the area of the fire 🔥 that are going on down there but if so stay safe. I was out racking leaves 🍁 and got a wood tick and the neighbor is tapping trees 🌳 for maple syrup. Summer is coming soon up here. Thanks From Wisconsin

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We had a good time in this area! We heard the ticks are bad right now & our friends were using their campers this past weekend!! We hope it is an early spring! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@RetiredRoadTripping]

We laughed so hard watching this video because our Alamogordo Video was last week and we did alot of the same things in that area!! There was alot of snow going over the Sacramento Mountains when we were there too!! Lareka says the Phillys looked great Joel!! Miss you guys!! (and Maya too!)

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We laughed last week watching your video there is only so much to do & you got the museum & we didn't! Those Phillys were so good & GO PACK GO!! Maya misses her friends & saying hi to you guys & we do too! Safe travels- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@To.Be.Determined]

Get out there!!! Thanks for the video. We need to see White Sands as well!!!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Hi guys- White Sands is so worth going to! But we have been impressed with New Mexico overall! Safe Travels & Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@To.Be.Determined]

@@ChasingOurSunshine we did some NEW Mexico a couple years ago but missed White Sands as it wasn't 'in the path' back to FL that year! but maybe this year!! safe travels to you as well

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@To.Be.Determined You guys will have a blast!!

[@bobanddangsjourney]

Thanks so much for showing us the park - we almost stayed there a few years ago, but we we didn't think there was going to be any room so we boondocked down below the park - I think its BLM land. That looks like a really nice park, we will hopefully get a chance to stay there next time we pass by. We liked that first hike - nice view from up there! We crossed by that giant pistachio - but didn't stop - we should have! When we dropped by white sands it was a bit too cold - I think 68 is probably perfect! Thanks for sharing this - it was a lot of fun to watch :)

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

There is blm land right next to the park and it is amazing views there! We so enjoyed sledding and Maya had a blast! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Looked like a fun adventure! How long did you stay at that campground. Beautiful site! We would definitely have to try all of those pistachios and sled the sand dunes. Glad no one got hurt😂. Safe travels! - Mike and Shelley 💙

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We stayed for one week at the State Park! It was amazing and we are lucky we didn’t get hurt sledding! We are a lot older now lol 😂! Thanks guys- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@LivingtheSilverLife]

We were just at Cloudcroft not far from where y’all were. As a matter of fact we went to Alamogordo and Ruiodoso. We didn’t get to go to White Sands cause the wind was too intense while we were there. We did get some dark chocolate pistachios at McGinis farms. The cookout looked amazing. Great weather while you were there. It looks so warm. We were warm there, but in Cloudcroft we were in the snow, and it was cold. 😂

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We never made it to Cloudcroft because of the heights involved in the drive-up there. We were told there is a really good brewery up there! Apparently, your winter is all about snow & cold 🙃😆 Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@LivingtheSilverLife]

The brewery was really good; as was their pizza.

[@airstreamer]

Yum chocolate tasting! Were the wines sweet? or dry? Lunch looked yummy. Dune sledding? What a hoot! - Michelle

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

There was both sweet and dry, we prefer dry reds. The sledding was the best & had a blast! Thanks guys- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@airstreamer]

We prefer dry reds also! Someday we hope to share some with you! 😃@@ChasingOurSunshine

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@airstreamer That would be amazing!! 🍷🙌

[@RVAmerica]

So out of curiosity, how long do you recommend staying in White Sands? It's definitely on our list. Lynn and Danny

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We did it about 2-3 hours! There are longer hikes to do there - but it is walking in the sand! You guys will love it! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@AndrewJohnson149]

Hi Deb and Joel! We actually just came across yur channel recently and we really enjoy your content. You guys have a very similar sense of humor as we do and we love it! We just bought a 2019 Tiffin 45 OPP and will be fulltiming September of 2025. I retire next August after 45+ years working as a paramedic, police officer, and for state narcotic enforcement. After watching some of your videos, do I understand that Joel has height anxiety? I do as well, and this has been my biggest concern with driving the Tiffin, especially in mountains and roads with cliffs along side. Any recommendations? Thanks again for all your great content and we look forward to watching all of your past videos. AJ

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Hi AJ- We are so glad to hear from you and thanks for letting us know you are enjoying our videos! Glad you get our senses of humor 😂 and Joel does have fear of heights. To help he does look on google maps for routes so he his an idea of what is coming up on the travel day. We do also stick to main road especially in the RV as most of those aren't up weird Mountain roads. If it does get really uncomfortable for Joel, Deb will drive, but that makes him nervous as he has control issues too! 😂 RV Life is so amazing and so excited for you guys! Hope to cross paths with you and be safe out there! Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@AndrewJohnson149]

@@ChasingOurSunshine Sounds like Joel and I are twins lol. I spend a huge amount of time on our routes to avoid certain roads and bridges. In our car, my wife can drive sections that I prefer not to, but as Joel, that makes me even more nervous! LOL Look forward to seeing more of your content. Safe travels!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Love the free stuff, wine tasting etc. We were there in July and did the white sands with our dog. Never again, it was miserably hot. You need to venture back up north, It’s been really nice here in Iowa.

We wouldn't want to be there in summer - so hot!! But we are heading back north in a month and some Smokey D’s might be called for a stop!! Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
