I can't say it enough thank you for sharing but also isn't our beautiful earth that the Lord made just amazing and beautiful !!!!! im in tears how gorgeous

[@richardmeyer7649]

Amazing Timelapse. Loved the storm coming in with the lightning. You two are great parents.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you, Richard! At the time I had no idea the lightning was even in frame. I cut it off early because I was tired . I kicked myself immediately, I should have let it go another 1/2 hr 🤷‍♂️ an amazing night!

[@follownroadswithmya3878]

There's always something that makes your adventures look so unique and enjoyable to watch that it makes me want to travel across the country even more and puts a smile on my face. You guys are such an incredible family, and I hope to meet you someday once we hit the road again this summer. You have inspired my family and me to travel as you showed us the wonders of the world and locations you've been to, as well as the fun and memorable moments one can make on the road. We are grateful that you provide helpful tips and tricks as you live your everyday lives as if we were there by your side in person. ❤️❤️☺️

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Well, that means we have done our job! We always hope that those who watch our videos feel inspired to go find their SOMEDAY whatever that may look like! We hope you guys have an amazing summer and that we catch up with you out here soon!

[@salliannebrown8129]

My father's whole family was from the area. My great grandfather was legend for rowing from Okracoke to the mainland during what the old timers called a "September Storm" aka hurricane in the late 1800's. It's like a blast from the past to watch the video. Thanks!

[@100mpgus]

The distant lightening as the sun is coming up was awesome!!! I love this channel.

[@helenwehrenberg1703]

You’ll never know how much I wait in anticipation for your next video every time. You guys have a precious little family & are living every second enjoying you sweet girls & each other. God bless all of you!! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!!!

[@billlowe9417]

First 30 seconds of scenery and music were outstanding. Not sure you know how good you are!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Really appreciate you saying so. Such a major compliment!

[@stevenkeithcoulthard706]

When I watch Nathan & Marissa w/ Less Junk More Journey & Kara & Nate... their storytelling is amazing, but when I want amazing Cinematography... FOS is up there with Gone with the Wynns, if not better. Wow, Corey... your imagery is just stunning.

[@staceycoughlin]

Ocracoke is one of our favorite places. We try to go every year. We've motorcycle camped, moteled and RV'd over there. That National campground is by far my favorite! Quick bicycle ride to the Village and that proximity to the beach can't be beat.

[@DavidOnder]

I almost started crying watching you all get on the ferry. My wife and I absolutely love Ocracoke (or is it Occacoke? 😉). They vacation always begin on the ferry. So awesome!

[@moore_2_explore]

I RARELY use the word epic as well, but Cory your photography, videography is EPIC in this one (and many others😉). Thanks for taking us along!

[@TakeATripTogether]

Oh, wow. Those lunar eclipse pics are stunning!!! So glad you made it across safely on the ferry. We love islands, too!!!

[@kathleenhansen6610]

Loved this video …we also are campers ( married 50 yrs. camping in some form always ) . We will live vicariously thru your travels as my dear hubby has shoulder surgery coming up soon. Thanks for the lovely videos you do ! Love from Michigan ❣️

[@dianekirvan9906]

We were in the Outer Banks in early May and with the Northeaster that was heading toward the OBX we left early. It need up the road leading Hatteras flooded and was covered with sand around the Rodanthe area for days. A couple of home in that area fell in the Ocean. We we camped at Frisco Woods RV Park which was awesome. We ferried in our truck to Ocracoke on a gorgeous sunny ☀️ day. We lucked out that day. We have never experienced such windy weather all the time and the weather on the OBX is very shaky! I will take Daytona Beach where we live any day of the week!

[@wendyrobertson3899]

Next Florida trip, PLEASE check out Sanibel Island and Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge. The beaches on Sanibel bar none are the best shelling beaches in ALL of Florida and the Wildlife refuge is SO huge that it took me 3 days to go through it to see everything. I went by bike as a resident of Lee County and I was completely amazed at all we were able to see by bike. Gators, wild ones and so many birds. I grew up on Pine Island just across the sound from Sanibel and enjoyed many days there and on Cayo Costa just enjoying the freedom of being out in the sunshine and open air. Hope you'll consider it. I promise the girls will end up doing the Sanibel stoop looking at all the shells and don't forget to dig a bit at the tide line for beautiful live coquina shells. They are amazing to feel in your hand. Have fun y'all

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

That time-lapse really was epic! Y’all are just the best! Thank you for sharing. 💙

[@wyopatriot3696]

Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. You have an amazing family. I look forward to everyone of your videos. Thank you for sharing the piece about lead batteries vs lithium. I think there are so many out there that would like to incorporate solar in their rig but the cost of lithium batteries makes it cost prohibitive for many. It’s nice to hear your experience. I am now reconsidering adding solar to our rig. Thank you fir the fun times. #FOS

[@offgridrvliving]

Just an FYI...be sure to also have a properly sized charge controller between your batteries and solar panels. Otherwise your batts could over charge and cause a fire.

[@robertcolpitts4534]

What an excellent video! I know we'll never get there, but I can almost smell the salt air watching your adventure! Have fun and drive safe, y'all!

[@roadtriplover.]

Having grown up on the beach in SE NC, I can certainly vouch for the fact that if the weather’s bad there, just wait 5mins. Never fails. I love going home, now (family is still there), as there’s never a bad time to go to the beach.😀 I’m so glad you were able to return to Ocracoke as a family. The crab at the end? Perfection and a smile. 😄😆😄😆

[@highlander5378]

I grew up on Wrightsville Beach.

[@schlz69]

That Eclipse was epic! I watched it from our porch in North Myrtle Beach. We have since left there and are now on the road. currently in Pigeon Forge. Solar is a Game changer!!!! 1200 watt 6 Lions and a full suite of Victron gear, we can even run our A/C for a few hours and still make coffee in the morning. it just gets better from here!!!!

[@crystalrivera6048]

Epic photography of eclipse and lightening. I watched the eclipse from my house in upstate n. y. But your photos make it even more amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@tamaratanner4248]

Loved meeting you both... truly an amazing place.....

[@robreber9355]

I could watch your guy's videos every day of the week. You have such great content. You have a beautiful family. Your girls are so well behaved and you two are so great together. I just can't wait for Sunday's to come so that I can enjoy your videos. Thank you for all the places, and adventures that you and your family take all of us on. Thank Cory for his service and your family for staying at home and taking care of the girls while Cory was away. Your family is a blessing. I wish that I could do what you guys are doing. God bless you and your family, take care, drive safe, and may all your destinations be filled with joy and happiness

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Wow! Such a wonderful comment to find here tonight. Thank you so much for watching and joining us for our journey. God bless you and your family as well! Hope we catch you out here SOMEDAY!

[@robreber9355]

Thank you i would love to meet up with your family. Unfortunately I will have to live through watching you on KZbin. I'm a bit disabled and can't travel very far anymore. I would probably need someone else to drive me and I'm like Cory i like to be in control of the vehicle I'm in hahaha. So i would have a hard time riding with someone but maybe someday I might give up my control and let someone else have the reins for once, who knows

[@billjaeger4839]

Yeppe! You made it! You KIDS... Made it! Thanks for another Great Video and bringing us along.

Nice to see you made it on the ferry. What a beautiful campsite you were at.Corey your filming is amazing .🙂🇨🇦❤👍

[@captainkirk8806]

Been to OBX more times than i can count but i have only made it to Ocracoke once. Love the visit but it was right after the island got hit by one of the hurricanes so there was a lot of damage. Thank you for your photography. It is always "Out of this world" great.

[@SonyaBarnesOnMove]

Spectacular view of the eclipse! What an adventure.

[@TheRVkeys]

Beautiful beach images! Very inspiring for sure! We did the Cape May Lewes ferry in May. Heavy fog was present, so couldn't capture any ocean activity on the water. Looks like you all had a good time on your journey!

[@gregprince2523]

Outstanding stuff guys!! The night skys were Epic!! The kids had a blast!

[@pattyminot-scheuermann6944]

Love the time lapse but most of all bcyour from my Grandmother's east coast . She was from Eastport and we visited many times. We've done the west and it is awesome but my heart and memories will always be in Maine and NH. I love watching you and your journeys. Thank you so much for not being "commercial" and for your sound advice and sharing. Good wishes to you. P.

[@gregoryhelm4230]

Thanks for the excellent footage of the eclipse! And your shot of the 2010 was epic! And the girls running down to the 🏖️ I would bet some of that is seeing what cute boys are at the beach before Mom and Dad get down there.Since they're both teenagers and at that age 🙄😂

[@redragn72]

This looks like one of your best seasons yet.... wait did it start :P No seriously that whole boon docking thing on an island, hopefully that island, is now on my bucket list!

[@lynfl9814]

This one brought back such wonderful and very poignant memories of the OBX and Ocracoke. We vacationed in the OBX for 13 years. We stayed both ocean front or Pamlico Sound front and visited Ocracoke many times. We stayed on the island one time. The National Seashore on Ocracoke is just breathtaking. We were in Duck, NC, oceanfront on 9/11/2001. We went to Roanoke Island; we left our rental just before the first plane hit. We went to the Elizabethan Gardens on Roanoke Island; we noticed people listening to radios (the high tech cellphones were not popular yet). I told my husband something is going on; but, no one told us what was occurring. I wanted to ask what they were listening to; but, my husband told me not to do that. We then went to the Roanoke Aquarium, again we heard no mention of what was happening. We got back on the OBX just before 1 pm. I noticed flags were at half staff. I said to my husband; I think something happened. He didn't believe me. We stopped to have lunch at an ocean front pier; when we walked in, we first heard about it on a TV and people started filling us in; we felt complete shock and awe because the towers were already down. We heard all planes were grounded. But, not all planes were grounded. Our fighter jets where patrolling our coast at regular intervals. We sat on our ocean front deck and were in awe when we saw them on a continual basis for almost 24 hours. They were loud and very fast, flashing by. It gave us a real feeling of safety and security every time they screamed by our ocean rental. We all remember where we were on that horrible and memorable day. Another memorable OBX vacation was 9/18/2003. We only got to stay one night of our vacation. We knew there was a possibility of Hurricane Isabel hitting the OBX; but, when you pay a lot for a sound front rental; you go. We lived in PA; it was a 9 hr drive to the OBX. The first evening we had dinner at a restaurant; the staff told us the Hurricane was likely to hit and the next day the businesses were told a mandatory evacuation was going to be called sometime during the day. The staff told us get out of there before it is officially called; there will be a massive traffic jam. So, we got up early and left the beloved OBX. When it became a mandatory evacuation; our trip insurance kicked in and paid us back for the remainder of our stay. Isabel made landfall in the Outer Banks of North Carolina on September 18. There, storm surge flooding and strong winds damaged thousands of houses. The storm surge produced a 2,000 foot (600 m) wide inlet on Hatteras Island, isolating Hatteras by road for two months. Several locations along North Carolina Highway 12 were partially washed out or covered with debris. We went back down to the OBX three weeks later and we drove down to the break in the OBX. It was just below Frisco, NC. Small boats could actually go through the break. The storm surge washed homes right into Pamlico Sound. It was awesome to see what Mother Nature can do. In Nags Head, NC there were oceanfront homes that were knocked off their pillions and were knocked onto the sand. There was a lot of damage on the OBX. So, if while you are vacationing there, if an emergency is called get out of there early. Since your videos come out on a delay, you have probably already left the OBX. I really enjoy your videos. This one was nostalgic for me. I'm really looking forward to the next ones as you travel the OBX.

[@jonkirkwood469]

We've been chased off the outer banks thrice by hurricanes and had several trips cancelled. Hurricane Matthew caught us right after we crossed Alligator River. The evacuation wasn't mandatory and the kids wanted to stay the last day. They argued the house was above the storm surge. I asked them how we'd get the cars in the living room. So, we left. Good thing, too. Matthew breached Rt. 12 just north of Rodanthe and we would've had to leave via Hatteras-to-Ocracoke-to-Swanquarter. Hurricane Isabel is the only tropical system to cause damage to our home in Maryland. That one was an E-ticket ride.

[@garyhahn3450]

I have so many great memories of Ocracoke Island and camping at the National Park campground. We enjoyed the beach and sounds of the waves at night. We also enjoyed the theater and the fish market which had the catch of the day from local fisherman. We would by whatever they had from the morning catch and take it back to the RV and fix it for dinner.

[@adventureisuncertainty1061]

[@TomSpurlock]

We have 660W too, but with lithium. I actually installed my lithium batteries as stage one to power our inverter better. Then I installed the Victron charge controller with 2 panels, as well as installing the "CERBO" which puts the system on the internet to query the system from anywhere. We love our solar setup. I may install a 3rd panel someday, as my controller can handle it. I hope you visited the Wright Bros NP just north of Hatteras. Great history.

[@RunawaywithShortie]

I am with you 100%..I don’t like flying or cruising as I am not in control and no way off.

[@averagejoesmo1967]

That's Awesome to know about the solar. Do you suggest a specific brand? Did you install them yourself? A separate video about it would definitely be appreciated.

[@DukesMom1]

[@robertosgood961]

Best episode yet! We also have a GD Reflection TT and have just begun our travels. We also love to boondock as it puts us in some of the best places. Really interested in some video of your solar set up. It sounds like it would be just right for us.

[@mingo0817]

Thanks for the insight on the solar. We’ve been on the fence about it for a while, but being in California, it’s not easy to overlook that option. The idea of silent energy generation is appealing.

[@offgridrvliving]

Just an FYI...be sure to also have a properly sized charge controller between your batteries and solar panels. Otherwise your batts could over charge and cause a fire.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Love the Eclipse pics. I have the same Camera ( M6MII ) and we were just in the Badlands and got the most amazing Milky Way pics. I used a Sigma 16mm 1.4 EF-M lens.

@@offgridrvliving The suitcases I'm considering have a charge controller built in. (Renogy 100/200)

[@1sheinz]

What an amazing place , have too visit one day. You will find your solar ALMOST TWICE as effective once you switch over to lithium. Solar charges almost 95% effective to lithium where its only 55 % effective to lead acid. It really is like adding 2/3rds more solar with the switch. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.
