IS THIS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN ALASKA? Summit Late, Independence Mine & Hatcher Pass!

[@tacrewgirl]

Hatcher Pass is beautiful. Happy that you drove to the Willow side. It is a steep and narrow road but a beautiful drive.

[@mistygreene6754]

Thanks 🙏 to you all for sharing this great state of Alaska with us .Tell Roodle to get that snow ❄️❄️..lol🐾

[@andreaslagoski-keeptraveli907]

We have watched others doing their journey to Alaska and your photography and videos are the best ever!! You guys do superb work and beautiful work on editing. Love you both. (From Wisconsin) I'm such a beginner at this KZbin video posting, you are an inspiration!!!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Wow, thank you! We started out with no experience at all! The early days were a struggle...lol We were enjoying our newfound freedom, so we kept at it, and it has gotten easier. I still struggle with feeling like we could do things better, more storytelling ect! I guess that just means more room for growth. Thank you for your kind words... i have been in a funk the last fews days so I very much appreciated them!

[@3generations393]

I can't thank you all enough for bringing the joy of Alaska to my life. May God bless 🙏 Sendin Grandmama love ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾

Great job catching the hang glider nailing his landing! And right there! Very cool!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Love watching kite surfers and gliders...something so mesmerizing! I saw him coming and grabbed my phone......he NAILED the landing!

[@grumpyandthetomboy6048]

We stayed in that same parking lot! The fall colors were coming out when we were there and it was so pretty! Such a beautiful area!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

we are sitting by the river right now and WOW.... fall is coming in fast. Hatchers Pass has already gotten a dusting of snow. We are kinda stuck in the area waiting for some appointments. We are getting itchy feet.... we have places to go and things to see! Winter is coming!

[@MsSoozy]

Simply stunning videography! Just gorgeous, thank you! 😊

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank You!

[@snowbirdlady7221]

Amazing! I love seeing all the green. Especially when we are having such a dry summer in my area. Thanks for the beautiful drone work Dave! It seems the best way to capture the vast landscapes of Alaska.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We have really hit the jackpot on the weather and mosquitoes! We are just now experiencing raining days and only a handful of days that were bug bad!

[@mikefarrell5996]

Love seeing the 4 Vans in formation trekking to such cool places. Well done ,

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Glad you enjoyed it! It has been fun!

[@babsshaffer2652]

Glad to hear you’ll be coming back that way. We loved the boondocking right at the river’s edge toward the Willow end of the Pass.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We are sitting right by the river as I type. One of our favorite campsites.

[@MannyWC]

Do yall use your tow/haul button? Game changer for my promaster🎉 I never even knew it existed😂

[@debbiejohnson5550]

I'm curious, what are the benefits if your not towing or hauling? I have a promaster. Anything helps.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

ours has never worked!

[@mtnman3MTA3]

Oh, Summit Lake, I was waiting for a late summit.

[@julien2912]

That's what I was going to ask! I guess they meant Summit Lake! not Late!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

dang typos!

[@ettachristinabrim2376]

Another great video! Thank You!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

He did it as such a pivotal moment in my video that I couldn't remove it....lol

[@dianabalto]

Hatcher Pass is a Beautiful Nature enclave, worth seeing it but scary road

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

It does have some places that make your heart skip a beat! I would hate to be driving it when it is icy!

[@andrewmckee1379]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Amazing video!!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank you so much!!

[@michaelbecnel63]

Hatcher pass is such a beautiful place. Shocked at the amount of snow left. Happy Trails 🐕

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+@michaelbecnel63 yes! It usually opens right around July 1st and closes in September! Hatcher Pass has already had a few dusting of snow.

[@michaelbecnel63]

@@oneadVANtureatatime wow

We loved Hatchers Pass too. Did a quad tour there. Amazing

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

we have seen dozens of quads go by!

[@fourwheelcamper5491]

Great mine tour! Getting hard to find big mines so intact with equipment.

[@danrandall794]

Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@debbiejohnson5550]

Another wonderful video.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank You!

[@noraking2288]

We were at that mine too. Was very cool

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

so beautiful getting there! Do you miss alaska?

[@cheriwaller7598]

That was gorgeous!

[@grayandgrumpy]

Still are amazed by Dave's drone footage.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thanks... he has hundreds of hours logged with some epic shots!

[@funzeevanzee]

Beautiful and wonderful places.

[@freedomdove]

12:00 mark: Wow! It's so green and lush up towards the north. So strange that this isn't the case in the south, where it's supposed to be the same since we're on a "globe"...

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We could not believe just how green it is. I think this is something you don't think about alaska.... they get a lot of rain! Unless you go very far north it is very green.

[@kudraadk]

What an epic area!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

YES!!! just incredible

[@GypsyJesusGirl]

So amazing. I'm pinning everything!!!!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Schedule at least two months to explore!!!

[@Julied319]

Alaska is gorgeous!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

AGREED 100%

[@GATORADDAM]

Another great Roodle video!

[@spellmadam2947]

Nice

[@SheilaWoodbridge-q3h]

Amazing it's too cold there for me but I'd trade you this week here in indiana we are full time now working on ac been 90s and humid I'm keeping the cargo trailer at 82 not the best for.my dogs putting a 13000 btu mini split In next month ,still working out power issues and having to run generator to protect my dogs but after this year way north in summer and south in winter I have a great view ,a lake to kayak and fish ,I got internet and all my TV channels lmao which is nice since it's so and no shade ,we spend the morning and evening outside but from around 1 till about.7 we are inside ,Lance is still working so running the genie isn't a problem here but when he retires we won't be able to afford to keep gas in it

[@outandaboutwithsamiam5034]

Its late August....Winter will be hitting Alaska next Tuesday, so plan accordingly 😁

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Ha YES!!! some of the mountains have already received a dusting of snow! In just 3 short weeks we have seen Fall come marching in!

[@GoneHiking-c4q]

It looks like the Swiss Alps!

[@AsIronSharpensIron]

@13:23 Gold is presently @ $2,526.70 an ounce.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

incredible

[@Chris-ut6eq]

👍 👍

[@julien2912]

One more thing, did you know Chrome from Vancity Valife has been in Yukon Canada for the past month. He got very close to Alaska in Dawson City abut 2 weeks ago but never got into Alaska. Maybe you connected with him in that part of Canada as you were coming back from Alaska?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We were hoping to be there by now, but we have some obligations in anchorage that is keeping us close by. Dawson City is currently a 11-hour drive for us. I think he will be headed south before we make it there.

[@julien2912]

@@oneadVANtureatatime In his video from yesterday he was back in Dawson City again but I am sure he recorded that about a week ago. I think he is heading back south soon. Are you showing the reason you have obligations in Anchorage in a video?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

@@julien2912 we might talk about it briefly but it's just some medical assessment appointments for Dave. All Dave's medical is through Veteran Affairs. Nothing to report really. We thought we could get these done while we were in Alaska and We would already be done had they not (incorrectly) 🤷‍♀️ scheduled these appointments in South Dakota

[@sandras1524]

AMAZING

[@michele2017promastertravel]

Dave, have you ever had your drone repaired? Could you share where you had it done? I have a DJI if that makes any differrence.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

The first year we bought the insurance but when it came time to cash in on some repairs we found that the insurance did not cover anything. We did not pay for the insurance after that. We did have to have a drone repaired... we just paid $140.00 (at the time) and they sent us refurbished drone that looked brand new. Hope this helps.

[@michele2017promastertravel]

@@oneadVANtureatatime thanks.

[@grayandgrumpy]

We thought Hatcher's Pass was the most beautiful drive in Alaska. It wasn't on our list but we did a 4-wheeler tour and our guide said we had to do it.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

this is our 3rd time to hatchers pass and it changes so much in just a few short weeks! We have seen DOZENS of quads go by!

[@grayandgrumpy]

@@oneadVANtureatatime I think we were a week behind you and were amazed by how much snow was still on the ground in your video. So much had melted by the time we went through.

[@julien2912]

The price of gold right now is $2526.70 per oz times 34,000 oz would be worth $85.9 million not $18 million! BTW love Homestead Rescue! Where did you meet Marty Rainey

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

WOW! I would be happy to find just a couple of ounces. We were having ice cream at a gas station on our way to Hatcher Pass when this GIANT red truck drove up and this person with presence got out.... we watched for a long time not knowing it was Marty Rainy ( dave and I had not watched homestead rescue) Steve who was traveling with is recognized him! He stopped to talk to us for quite a long time!

[@julien2912]

Did you mean to spell Summit Lake in your video Title? Not Summit Late? Beautiful video as always Are you guys going back to the potato harvest job when you are done with this trip? If so, you must be on your way there already right?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

No seasonal jobs this fall as we knew we would want to be here as long as possible. We are waiting till the very last minute to begin our travels south.

[@jimjohnson9785]

You're right that Hatcher Pass is a beautiful place, but it is not the most beautiful place in Alaska. If you're going to Denali, you'll see one of them. And no it's not Denali. You'll know when you get there.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Well, we really enjoyed the Denali Highway! We didn't get to spend much time there but oh so beautiful,

[@7JanaLove]

Figure out where you are living there. I don't see you coming back!!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I just don't think we are Alaska tough.... Months of darkness is our main concern. That and we just cannot seem to sit still that long.
