Another awesome episode. That camp spot was incredible.

Thanks, Jason!

You guys are knocking it out of the park with these videos! We love it!

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Much appreciated! It's sometimes hard to have perspective on your own stuff sometimes!

[@dad_wagon1976]

So amazing! Looking forward to more!

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Thank you!

[@campoutwestus]

Absolutely gorgeous! Loved the epic camp spot. Visiting a glacier had to be a trip highlight!

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Thank you! The whole helicopter ride was awesome! Since we had the camera gear he decided to make it fun for us 😄

[@svseaglobe]

😊 that beach was awesome😮 it is so nice to camp on a beach of rocks compared to a beach of mud or sand. Much easier.🎉

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

The rocks were great! Still not super thrilled about sand in a heavy truck with no low range 😄

[@bdb444]

Great episodes my friend I hope your channel takes off

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Thanks so much!

Took that drive in July. What a trip. Dawson City and Chicken where my favorites. Doing it again next spring. Cant wait.

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Awesome, can't wait til we can go back too! Dawson is great!

The rain has been real here in south- central AK. Would love that Kenai Lake turn-off mile marker.

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

We had a pretty great mix of rain & sun during our visit! So I tracked down the spot from another video, using maps & satellite imagery, and in the interest of not calling out specifics online, I'd encourage you to as well. Hunting down that stuff is half the fun!

[@darrenk6616]

I enjoyed your Alaska content. One spot I'm curious about is the scene at 5:35. That's pretty sweet. Do you recall what glacier that is? I'd figure out the rest. You showed it right after the Matanuska and before Anchorage, but from what I can tell, there aren't any other glacier views to speak of until the Knik. Assuming that wasn't out of chronological sequence, I haven't been able to piece together where this one is at--yet. At any rate, it seems as though that's a roadside view and couldn't be missed when driving by.

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Oh man, I wish I could pinpoint that! I'm 90% sure it's chronologically correct, and I remember it was a decently long straight pulloff, on the left hand side heading towards Anchorage. Looking at the maps, I can't be sure yet, but I'll keep looking!

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Ok, I think I got it out of order, and that's the Nelchina

[@darrenk6616]

Ah ha! We have a match! I already had a waypoint set looking at the Nelchina from the highway, which is undoubtedly very close to where you took your shot. I was doing most of my scouting via Google Earth and I didn't think the highway offered that kind of elevated view. Had I simply done an image search for that or the other two adjacent ones, I would've answered my own question. Just hadn't got to that part yet I guess. The video sequence threw off the scent! The spaced out trees really add a lot to that composition. I appreciate you following up. Many thanks! I hope you didn't spend too much time digging that up for my benefit, but it's usually fun to go back and look at old trip stuff. Take care.

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

@darrenk6616 no worries, it was fun to look up. Google lens plus a photo I had taken from there sealed the deal 😄

[@klumsytone]

Boss, when your done with your trip, can you send me your itinerary? I want to do this with my 2 little daughters. I live in the South Bay Area of LA County.

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Yeah I can send you some details. Can't recommend our exact itinerary with kiddos(too much seat time), but it should get you started planning!
