Congratulations you two! Loved the slideshow and the Lake Tahoe views. Staying together 50 years and keeping your sense of humor and adventure is a great accomplishment!❤

[@annarademacher8359]

I had to watch this one on the big tv screen. You are such a handsome, fun loving ,adventurous couple -and most important you’re “good folk”. Good job John on the unique and meaningful gift.

OMG, it's Anna! Miss you guys.

Happy 50th to you both. Such a lovely celebration and heartwarming story. Thanks for sharing your story. That was a great gift from John. Cheers!

[@ablerae6588]

Thank you. Happy you shared with KZbinrs some of your 50 yrs. Very inspiring.

[@forkintherode8236]

September 6, 1975 was our wedding day. We honeymooned in the Badlands and Rocky Mountain National Park. We literally had the Park to ourselves. Congrats to you both; 50 years is a long time, and I don’t know where the time went.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

I’ve been to Guam (for about 60 minutes). That license plate is literally the best! Sweetest gift.

[@kimsvango]

Congratulation to both of you. Thank you for sharing and love the gift idea~~~~!!!!

[@markbenson1948]

Happy Anniversary!!!🙂 John 5:24

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Wow!!!! I'm glad she said YES John. There are some things in life that are just better together. And John and Debbie should be on that list. Congratulations! Kept looking for that college girl in volleyball shorts at the end but I know who edits so knew it wouldn't be there. 😂😂😂 But the pics were simply priceless. ❤ you both! Congrats!!!

[@hbjtf]

I can still see that young woman each time she smiles! No fooling.

[@FromShetoMe]

I wish we had taken more photos back in those days. Have tons of slides that need to be digitized though.

[@hbjtf]

Cannot wait to see your Sunday drop!!!

[@Night_hack]

Oh my…Happy Anniversary…how wonderful 50 years

[@a-survivors-journey]

Congratulations!!! Amazing!!!

[@mollyboyle4293]

A few days late, but OMG! 50 years - incredible! It seems like only yesterday! You two are just too cute! I love you both! Congratulations!

[@FromShetoMe]

From the day we met.

[@rickdejean4649]

Sweet Sweet ❤

[@tombicek2218]

In 2 years it will be 50 years for us. Sometime it seems like 500, o'well. That was a really nice video, nice siteseeing. Congratulations to a wonderful and fun couple, keep up the good times. That was a nice license plate idea.

[@Deanna52ish]

So sweet. No wonder your son went into forestry, you’ve traveled the country and exposed him to nature. Just today we returned from Lake Tahoe in our new van. It’s so beautiful. I liked the north side the best. Congrats on 50 years.

[@julielance8051]

Thank you for sharing, What a great life together. My husband and I are on our 40 years together and I would do it all over again.

[@FromShetoMe]

Don't you wish we could do it all over again (well, most of it). This seems to be the week of looking back. Kara and Nate had a wonderful video with Nate's father, and the KYD newsletter shares memories with Marc's dad who died while they were in Italy. So much fun to look back at lives well spent.

[@bob88061]

Congratulations

[@OutontheTrails]

Awwwh, that was a cute story how you two met! Thanks for sharing with us! Congratulations! 🍾

[@rockinvanlife]

Congrats are for sure in order… thanks for sharing this video…

[@HumbleRoad]

50 years that is awesome! It’s very rare to see that kind of longevity in a couple. And to see them still smiling and in love after all these years. June and I met in 1974 started going steady in 1975 and we’ve been together ever since..

[@FromShetoMe]

You must have been in high school when you met. I can tell you are in your rig tonight and bored. 🤣

[@ljiljanamahmutagic6186]

[@bobbydale1957]

Really enjoyed that.

[@erniedevries3243]

My family loves the west side, and particularly Sugar Pine Point State Park. We have often ridden from the park to Tahoe City & back. Great trail! Congratulations!

[@donaldtharp]

Just precious that you would share your anniversary with all of us. Thanks for sharing your story/ memories. God bless you and grant you many more. 🎉

[@dporper6390]

Thank you for sharing your personal story with us. You are such a warm-hearted and real couple. We've loved following you and learned so much about class B rving and enjoying retirement living. We're currently living the dream in our Pleasure-way with bucket list stays at the Albuquerque hot air balloon Fiesta, Monument valley during the eclipse and currently at the Grand Canyon. We're heading to LA for a family event soon. Meeting you guys somewhere sometime is also part of bucket list. Is there anyway this can happen?😊

[@FromShetoMe]

[@clarkleakins879]

Definitely your BEST EVER episode! Did you meet in high school or college? Where? Bicycles are keeping you young! Very cool license plate. That business will now be swamped with requests. Yes that whole Tahoe City area is great for lakeside bicycling. I understand that the whole lake can be circumnavigated bicycling. Will you try Tahoe city to Truckee? Will you take us to Independence Lake? Donner Lake? Serene Lakes?

[@FromShetoMe]

We met in college at CSULB. Over the next few episodes we will be doing a number of the sights you listed. Unfortunately there isn't a designated bike trail around the entire lake but if you want to brave the traffic, there is the road.

[@colleenronkc]

[@susanjackson1458]

Quite the journey! Congratulations!

[@sounddesignmix3002]

Dang, we just missed you two. We were in Truckee 10/1 to 10/4 and supposed to camp at Meeks Bay but ended up at a friend's cabin in Truckee. Anyway, we rode this exact bike trail and it was a good one. Plus we enjoyed some great dinners in Truckee, Wishing you both all the best, Michael & Beverly. PS, When is that new van coming?

[@FromShetoMe]

Darn indeed! I think about you every time I need to add a sound effect. We're thinking next summer for the new van. But you can get a glimpse of the progress by watching Humble Road's video from Oct 8.

[@sounddesignmix3002]

Ha ha, I heard those sfx! Nice job and great editing. I like the addition of the 360 cam. Did you know if you edit the 360 picture in the stand alone app on a computer you only need the mp4 files, but you won't get scrolling previews in the clips bin. @@FromShetoMe

[@FromShetoMe]

I think I figured out the mistake I made. I was using the app, but when I looked at the downloaded clips on my SSD card where I had put them, what I thought were duplicate files must not be. They show the same file number except one will have a number 1 and the other a number 2 at the end. Oh well, live and learn.

[@mikemanjo2458]

My hubby said they need to look for a Boy Scout in the area looking for a good Eagle Scout project to build a good bike rack for that park. It is a shame to have such amazing trails and no rack for parking them.❤😊Jane in SC

[@FromShetoMe]

So true. I often say the same things at places we visit. Just need an Eagle Scout project.

[@loda9510]

Two amazing people with many traveled roads and trails - Happy Anniversary!

[@annainaspen]

Happy Anniversary to both of you! The license plate was thoughtful and fun. I also really enjoyed the slide show.

[@nancyskean6425]

Well done you two! So nice to see something positive in the world. Thank you!

[@eileen8433]

What a lovely photo slide show at the end! Congrats you two❤️❤️

Congratulations Debbie and John for this incredible milestone for an incredible couple. Happy 50th. Wonderful video.

[@janetfolkerts5827]

Thank you for sharing another amazing trail ride and looking back '50 years' the license plate was a VERY special gift always to be treasured...Beautiful couple and a beautiful family - THANK YOU for sharing.

[@tedgiakas497]

Congratulations to an amazing couple. I so enjoy your video adventures. As an Orange County resident and former Mammoth resident I so relate to our love of the Eastern Sierras. Thank you for your great stories!! Cheers🍷🍺🎂

Happy Anniversary. We 50 year'ers set the bar.

[@Beeceebeach]

I think the happiest bike ride we ever took was around Camp Richardson with our two young kids. (Now grown) Thanks for the memories. We’ll have to try it again!

[@FromShetoMe]

It’s lovely in fall/winter too.

[@judystreich7333]

A wonderful legacy, 50 years! Let the journey continue......Congratulations ❤️

[@kerryloper6142]

Happy Anniversary!! Thank you for sharing. ❤️ where can someone pick up the Tahoe map of bike trails?

[@FromShetoMe]

Try bike shops and forest service visitor centers. We’ve seen them at both places.

[@panchamama]

Great memories and wonderful couple!

[@always.wondering.wandering]

Ah, sweet.....50 years ago! And, I have so enjoyed you two and your family being shared with us through your wonderful videos, thank you! Loved the visit through the Gatekeepers Log House.

We so appreciate you coming along.

Happy Anniversary from Arkansas.

[@markfuchs1225]

Awe! Well done you two. Sweet!

[@NelloCambelli]

Congratulations to two fun, entertaining & bright people - heck add up the time married to 3 beautiful women equals only 26 years. Never could adopt Solomon’s wisdom of God, Family & Friends. Keep demonstrating true love in each episode! GBU!

[@NelloCambelli]

BTW - when at Nestles, my Swiss colleague & pal, believed when people talked about Bob Bras’ Taster’s Choice to be Victor’s “Master’s Voice”. Hans also proclaimed the Grand Canyon to be “Inverted Alps” after we hiked down & up the Kaibab Trail. Your episodes triggers excellent memories.

[@NelloCambelli]

Today is the day to inaugurate my Omnia Oven.

[@FromShetoMe]

I think we were just lucky. But 3 women will age a man faster than the sun.

[@wornoutwrench8128]

I have no idea why but I always wanted to go to Tahoe, definitely a beautiful place. Congratulations on 50 years, my wife and I are just a few behind you. I have known her for 47 years, married for 43. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

[@FromShetoMe]

Don't wait for your 50th to go!

[@smoreadventures]

Congratulations! What a cool license plate. For our 50th wedding anniversary hubby bought a plate that says, "Just married...50 years ago." (It's now been 51.) We put ours on the front of our camper van and get lots of fun comments. But I love that yours signifies all the places you've lived! So very special! You and John seem very well matched. May God grant you many more anniversaries!

[@FromShetoMe]

I love that! I guess hubbies always think in terms of cars.

My wife and I have followed you two for a few years now and though we do not comment much, we love your content. Today's was very sweet and special. Happy travels. ❤

[@FromShetoMe]

Well, if you aren't already a viewer of Kara and Nate, I think you would enjoy their video posted yesterday...a camping trip with Nate and his grandfather in his 1970 VW camper. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house.

Combat operations didn't end in Vietnam until March 1973, so a lot of American boys were otherwise occupied in those days...
