I just discovered your channel when the title of this video caught my attention. I had lived near Savannah for several years. So when I bought my motorhome and first went full time, I thought McAllister would be a good transition point for me to get to know my motorhome. So I was campground host there for 5 months. Then I went to Unicoi State Park where I campground hosted for another 3 months and I see you also have a video on Helen GA & Unicoi SP. So that one and the one on Savannah will be my next two videos to watch. And I see you have several other videos of places I have either been or want to go. So I am glad I have found your channel.

The challenge is getting back in that kayak if you flip over. A trick that helps is to bring a hard six pack cooler with a handle you can turn upside down in the water. Use its buoyancy as a step for one foot to get a “lift” into the kayak.

I just got back to PA from my mini snowbird trip. I made it short to accommodate my dog, and I'm so glad I brought her! Seeing today's episode was great! I love being out in nature and you guys do all the things I love to do. Maggie has been a great inspiration to me, too! Freya was so good. I think she understood we were going on a trip and really tried to be good while traveling, even though she doesn't like riding in the van. (I fixed a bed for her to curl up in instead of ride in the seat as was suggested by your viewer.) Having a kayak with you is key. Really enjoyed this episode - the beautiful Georgia SP, the wildlife, your kayak adventure, cycling, this one was as you said in the description "We Loved It!" 2023 isn't over by a long shot, so I'm going to use the shortened winter trip as credits to head out again soon. Thanks for being such lovely friends. (I hope Owen is stretching, too. I'm glad it looks like his back is better!) Peace & Prayers.

Another awesome park! Thank you! Love all of the "happy dances." Looking forward to your reviews on the kayaks! What happened to the solo stove?

We have used the kayaks a couple more time and are getting better putting the together, we are really enjoying them and Owen is looking forward to doing more fishing. We still have the solo stove just trying something smaller.

I said to John, what are we gonna do about the 325 weight limit. He responded, “saved by the bell.” Those look awesome. Gotta get me one. But no way I’d go out in it in gator territory. John’s gift to me was an electric scooter. Is he working toward my early demise?

At least it's an "early" demise. 😂😂. The ORU's are perfect for our style of travel for sure. But the Lake's weight limit is 225 not 325. I think Maggie and I would be golden with 325 too. Actually I'm pretty sure we'll be fine with both of us in the kayak even at 225. You know I've been drooling over a scoot too. But deciding which toys to take in a small space is always a dilemma. Hope you two are staying safe and dry.

Is Solo stove out to make room for the kayaks?

We did need to get something smaller for this trip that is why we are trying the new fire pit. I’m sure we will still take the solo stove when we don’t take the kayaks because we still love it, but that pop up fire pit is really coming in close to being just as good.

We still have the solo stove and love it. We are just trying something that takes up less space when stored, but we are liking the pop up fire pit too.

We still have it but with the kayaks the room for it was a little tight so Owen wanted to try something that packed up smaller. I’m sure we still take it when we don’t take the kayaks. We do love it.

What was the sauce you put on the tomato

@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Жыл бұрын
Here’s the recipe for the sauce, 1 1/4 cups mayo, 2 1/2 tbsp spicy brown mustard, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 2 tsp prepared horseradish, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp Cajun seasoning, 1 tsp pickle juice, 1 tsp hot sauce, 1 clove of garlic, black pepper. It was delicious.

We could not find any green ones so we had to go with some not so ripe red ones. They were good!
