Wow! You are indeed blessed. I just finished viewing my local church service livestreamed (it's 11 45am Sunday 5th July here) and the KZbin autosuggestion immediately brought your weekly clip up. I'm not kidding! i'm still connected to St.Christopher's Parish - Syndal website! First reaction- loved the purring welcoming committee - Oh! Just a second - better go and see if my manager has finished her breakfast so I can wash her bowl!.... Yep! Check... she's purring on the mat in the back porch.. Great to see you and Riley enjoying a ride in beautiful British Columbia on a great summer's day.. Reminds me of many pleasant rides on my Honda 4 up the Yarra Valley over 25 years ago. When you went to open up the door of the tree house my first thought was "Where's the racoon?", then when you got inside, switched on the lights and showed us around, I thought "Oh dear! I do hope whoever is on the bottom bunk doesn't pass wind during the night." That would really strain the friendship. The outside facilities are really imaginative. The guy who designed this getaway is really a kid at heart. I loved your acknowledgement of my Aussie reference to the "dunny" when you showed us the thunderbox with a view. Toasting marshmellows by the campfire is an international camping past-time. Great steady work with your drone camera lifting up through the fir trees! And now you're off to Port Alberni for next week's episode on a tugboat. Question; Is the big timber mill there still operating it's logging railroad? I'd love to see a short sequence of that if it comes on your radar. Meanwhile downunder, things have deteriorated in the last week such that some of Melbourne's northwestern suburbs are in lockdown again. Let's say a collective prayer that this virus will finally peg out and set us free again to share the joys you are now experiencing again. Cheers from Michael downunder.

While the scenery is beautiful this wouldn’t be a good place for me to stay....for starters I like indoor plumbing and that outhouse looked a little scary. Also sleeping in a space that tiny, with my head so close to the ceiling or second bunk would make me claustrophobic but it’s fun to watch you guys stay there and to see that the place even exists. I watched this series of your videos in reverse but I liked the other three places you stayed. They’d be fun to stay at. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos. Travel safe.

I'd definitely stay there--you get two houses for the price of one (the out house and the tree house). My kids liked this one as well. We look forward to the rest of the series. I'm not sure if you're still taking video suggestions but here we go: *from my daughter Walden (5yo) --"sleeping on a submarine" --"sleeping on the coal train that goes by where we live" *from my son Desmond (3yo) --"bus!" --"fire truck!!" (this one had added emphasis and blew his mind a little) Thanks again for making these videos. My kids still joke about "pillow spray." You've inspired Walden to start planning a sleeping car train trip. It's occupied a lot of her time, she's been planning the route, drawing pictures, and selecting meals from Amtrak's menus.

I about lost it when I saw the bulb lights on the railing, then the half door outhouse, legit had to pause the video as I laughed. Love the charm and overall uniqueness, not to mention THAT VIEW! Looking forward to the next video, but that place is so on my list of potential spots for a future road trip of my own some day.
