Thank you for showing that people over 60 can have the most amazing adventures riding in the mountains on e-mountain bikes.

[@FromShetoMe]

And even people over 70. 😅

Your channel popped up in my YT feed and I just had to watch! My hubby and I (before health issues intervened) used to RV travel like this, always searching for the right place to land once he decided he was ready to leave the city. In 2018 we began looking in earnest around the NW. Lots of touring, day trips and investigating later, we drove into Grangeville. I knew nothing of the town or area, but as soon as I stepped out of the car at the gas station my heart knew. Huge breath, it felt like home. We bought the first property/house we looked at and it was the perfect move. My husband's health went downhill shortly after the move so it was the ideal time. We are now settled, content, grateful to have found our little piece of heaven. So much fun seeing it through your eyes, and glad you enjoyed our corner of the world! PS...NomNom is a strange name but it's a chain of stations in the Inland NW. Used to be ZipTrip, don't know which is worse.

[@FromShetoMe]

Grangeville was an unexpected treat for us as well. I think living close to that bakery would be dangerous though. Best to you both.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

That starlapse was EPIC!!!

[@AnnMaynard-fu9qd]

Now I want a huckleberry cone. The rough terrain and all those lovely wild flowers along the trail made me think of Little House on the Prairie. That was quite a bike ride. Thanks for taking us along.

[@rohinitambe8997]

Beautiful adventure and serene views.

I grew up in Grangeville and my parents had a small ranch near Whitebird, Thanks for sharing. I'm 72 now and this was real nice.

[@FromShetoMe]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@timsmith7625]

Thanks for the memories as I have traveled to Lewiston and Clarkston In years past and on to Lolo Pass and Traveled Rest! Cool on the L&C writer too. As you know I am a big fan on the L&C Corp of Discovery! We have Huckleberry Ice Cream up here in NW Montana for ya! 🍦🍦

[@dianestrickland1636]

Lovely and informative video as always. Thanks!

[@patkincaid8061]

Looks like it was a fun adventure and a beautiful area. The more I see of Idaho the more I like it.

[@marleneclark4186]

What a beautiful adventure.

[@stanw909]

Nice to hear Owen. Beautiful song and performance.

[@bladehoner3185]

Heading to Grangeville today. Gonna check out the bakery!

[@FromShetoMe]

That's awesome. You'll love it.

[@jenniferg.3989]

We were there after you! Wow. So fun to follow you! JJ

We used to camp up on slate creek as a kid growing up in Kamiah

Hello from Southern Oregon, PSA I tried the insulation over the wipers and 2 days later came out to see a rodent had chewed them up. They didn't protect the wipers long but sure showed me I had a rodent problem to address. 😢 Always enjoy your work.

[@FromShetoMe]

Wow! I’ll be sure to let our friends know that rodents like pool noodles. Who’d have guessed?

[@abbysomebody9792]

Always a joy to watch the videos of your travels!

[@FromShetoMe]

Many thanks!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

I love parades like that - my Grandpa always rode his horse in the Ventura parade. We had a huckleberry shake at a SD welcome center, which was a giant fun store (somewhere). I’m looking forward to getting up this way in a few months!

[@FromShetoMe]

It just needed some 🥁

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Great video. Thank you.

[@barbaradowney4207]

I think of the Cookie Monster and Nom Nom stuffing cookies in his mouth. Great video. Biking must run in the family Debbie.

[@FromShetoMe]

Biking meant freedom from a very early age. Watching Ryan Van Duzer's videos has inspired us to do more.

[@yvonne6530]

Family, beautiful vistas & great music 🎶 & let's not forget about the delicious ice cream 🍦, yummy!! What a beautiful episode. Idaho is gorgeous! Wishing your brother a quick recovery. 💕 Stay safe, Yvonne 🥰 P.S. Your van is looking very nice. Looking forward to its debut 🚐

[@stephenmorgan6578]

Oh, how cool of an adventure! I've been through Whitebird on the highway a couple of times, but my great grandfather had a homestead up there in the Whitebird/Canfield area that I have yet to visit. Also, very cool to see my daughter's ballet teacher and her husband out doing what they love! We plan to spend more time in that area when transiting down to visit family in southern Idaho.

[@FromShetoMe]

LOL. We love our trips with them.

[@jennyfagan7337]

Devoto is one of my favorite places to stop. You are in my homeland.

[@mikemanjo2458]

Great minds think alike....I had just said, "that looks like the scene from The Sound of Music" and you said the same thing! Such a beautiful trip! One of the songs you used sounded like Owen singing. Thanks for letting us tag along with you. I just love your videos...your editing and music transitions are always so good. Much love to you from SC (prayers for your brother's surgery, too), Jane ❤🙏

[@joanmcerlean7158]

Debbie and John-wow, just watched George’s ‘review in progress’, of your van. Looks beautiful, love the aesthetic of it, love that you’re going with the beautiful PW laminate, the airplane cabinets and the 2-step. Been watching and liking your videos each week, though I have cut way down on my chattering comments. I couldn’t be quiet on this build of yours though. It’s a beaut! Can’t wait to see you enjoying and traveling in it.👍🏻👏😎

[@FromShetoMe]

Thank you! Glad you're still hanging with us.

[@brianmitson8032]

This is one of the most scenic videos you have produced. Those wildflower-strewn hills definitely looked like the Austrian Alps. I expected to see Julie Andrews at any minute! We hope your brother has a favorable outcome. We'll keep him in our thoughts. All your relatives, seen in earlier videos, seem so cool and interesting!

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks! We'll be checking in on him when we return from the east.

[@suedvorscak1233]

Great video!! Prayers for your brother!!

[@NelloCambelli]

Nice episode featuring family & friends. When at Teton Valley Ranch Camp in Kelly, WY(now Dubois), we were required to learn the history and experience the locations of Chief Joseph and William Bridger. Daily new experience was the order of the day - one day nothing appealed to a 12 year old so I mucked the barn stalls & watched the Ferrier work. Sacred Jeans were made by earning Holes from Experience.

[@JulieFondriest]

Thanks for this great video! Would you have a link to the bike trail, I can’t seem to find it and we would love to add it to our list of things to do.

[@FromShetoMe]

There isn’t a name but we went up Canfield road to Joseph road to Camp Howard. I used OnX to find it or any topo map program should get you there.

[@camperab]

Thank you for your video! I always enjoy your pictures of the wonderful landscape(s) you can travel through. Besides, I appreciated your info on the Nez Perce. I remember the days at "Gymnasium" (= German High school) when we learned about Chief Joseph, his fellow native Americans and their lives.

[@FromShetoMe]

Our grandson is in Germany just now and loving it.

[@camperab]

@@FromShetoMe I hope he read Mark Twain's "The Awful German Language" prior to his departure!

[@FromShetoMe]

I think I might have told you that he is taking German at the local JC because it isn't offered at his high school. He really enjoyed practicing his German and I wouldn't doubt it if he becomes fluent. He has German heritage on both sides of his family.

[@judyfeldman5066]

Isn’t Idaho stunning. Wow. Also, didn’t you have the same thing happen last year with a bite? You are delish.

[@FromShetoMe]

Yes! And on a previous visit got stung by a paper wasp. I looked like a monster.

[@bountifuladventures]

Another great video featuring beautiful scenery. (Looking forward to South Dakota. If you are still in that area you should check out the mikelson bike trail in the black hills and Custer State Park. on the East side there is the awesome little town of De Smet, it is all about the pioneer life of the Ingalls family.

[@FromShetoMe]

Coming up in a future video. 😊

[@always.wondering.wandering]

I just watched the tour of your van by George....very cool! You all had a nice Idaho bike and hike. I wonder what bit you Deb, it sure did a number on your face...ouch! We've been going after a lot of spiders here that are low in the trees and shrubs cause otherwise we run into them, I'm using my electric swatter. Yum, huckleberry ice cream, your videos always have me wanting a delicious something. Have a great week ahead, take care.

[@FromShetoMe]

I seem to be very sensitive to spider bites so I'm guessing that's what it was.

[@jennyfagan7337]

We will be there in about a week and a half headed to Warm Lake, Idaho

[@guitarjeff55]

Yes. Indeed.

[@bobbydale1957]

Beautiful scenes.

[@banjobenson9348]

I have been there but didn't do all the stops, were those E Bikes ?

[@FromShetoMe]

Yes, we all rode e-bikes.

[@TheLockwillow]

Hi Debbie, Watching this episode made me thinking about e-bike that my husband like to buy and I refused to buy, now I will consider about it 😁 Can you tell me where did you purchase that white mash bag attached to the sink cabinet wall? Thank you!

[@FromShetoMe]

“Organized Obie” and it is called the “get wet organizer”

[@TheLockwillow]

@@FromShetoMe Thank you💕

@@FromShetoMeHi Debbie, We bought 2 e-bike today and we have PW Ascent too. Would you please share which swing hitch and bike rack you use(both company’s name and model name). Thank you very much!!

What is name of trail? I'm in idaho and would lime to do it

[@FromShetoMe]

Sorry, there is no name. Just a route my brother planned out.

Wouldn’t that dictionary be used to learn a native language instead of a foreign language? ◡̈

You’re right. Foreign to most of us though.
