Happy to see you coming back to Utah! I have lived here my entire life and I love it! I hope we run into you. Don’t forget Cassidy arch at Capital reef, you won’t regret it :)

[@epiccoloradokhrisstclair7789]

Mesa Verde is a Gem… quiet and very thought inspiring. Your guide is perfect!

[@exploringnewhites]

Will definitely check this out as we’re going there next year. Interesting that reservations are made outside of rec dot gov, but that’s nice because you can make them farther out. Did you stay in one of the sites with hookups?

[@jordanh4127]

@@exploringnewhites i would highly suggest wonderland rv park for hookups. Only 7 minutes away from the park

[@exploringnewhites]

@@jordanh4127 Good to know, thanks 😊

Cherish every moment you have with each other, I had a great wife who hiked, full of spirit, great cook and we did so much together; one car accident and she is disabled for life... Luckily we did more by midlife than most do in a lifetime, never take each other for granted.

[@jaredlykins5962]

Hey mark and Trish our family is here. Ready to watch another fantastic weekly show. Keep up on the adventures. Hello everyone hopefully y'all appreciate them as much as we do.

[@wisperone11]

Caleb is so funny with his animation 🤣🤣

[@bigdanc.8429]

Trish that margarita makes you a lightweight. My wife drinks them a pitcher at a time. Another tip for hummus is to put a little bit of crushed ice in to thin it a little and keep it from getting warm while blending nice and smoothe.

[@Mrsannievideos]

Awesome scenic views. You all know what peace is during vacation. Dinner setting lovely 🌹. The Lord's great Earth beautiful!!

[@KM00Youtube]

Some day I will visit Mesa Verde! I have wanted to since childhood. 🥰

[@waynesmith8512]

I learned about Mesa Verde reading my Weekly Reader in the mid sixties. To visit it was a highlight!!

[@kayault2068]

I love watching your accounts of America. And Caleb he is just to sweet for a Teenager tell him to never change he’ll make a wonderful adult.

[@suesullivan4103]

You guys are amazing. We’ve been following your videos since the beginning. We have learned so much from you. You inspire us to keep going. So far we’ve logged 60 thousand miles in our RV. We also live in the Tampa Bay Area and are excited to have you as neighbors. So many awesome places to visit here. You are truly the most genuine KZbin site we’ve found regarding RVing. Thank you for giving of yourselves!

[@SashaDeKasha]

I just absolutely love our monsoon season - everything is just amazing and the desert’s lushness… pfff… amazing!

[@paulbierman8286]

America's most beautiful RV couple. Thanks for another great video.

[@leysaroughtranchingrealtor]

Arizona has so many awesome places to visit!

[@1sheinz]

Every time you guy;s said Mesa Verde, all I could dee was Trish as Kim Wexler [ Better call Saul ] Loved the tour, talk about living WITH THE LAND rather than on the land. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.

[@lwhite530]

Love my KYD family!! Every Sunday your videos bring me joy! One day I’ll get an RV and be able to travel all over the US! Thanks for sharing your trips and tricks and tips!!

Another half hour of perfectly done travel content...thanks Leach family!

[@squatchsized1715]

We’ve done countless National Parks. Mesa Verde was on the way. Sooo we stopped. It blew me away!!! Hands down my favorite National Park. If it’s along the way plan a visit. It’s an incredible place

[@mathewmccarthy9848]

The only thing missing for that meal is a cocktail!!!!!! Beautiful!

[@thomasstone4340]

Man who’s got it better than Caleb? Chauffeur, personal chef, travel agent and wakes up in awesome destinations every day? Love you guys. God bless.

[@dharwood2727]

I am so jealous! We visited Mesa Verde in June of 21, and the tours were shut down due to COVID. The closest we got to the pueblos was gazing down from the rim of the canyon. Maybe once we get out of the new normal, and return to the old normal, we'll have a chance to return for the tours. Thanks for sharing!

[@whuop-wadeshumbleopinion625]

One of your BEST videos ever!! Love all of it, especially your family time at dinner.

[@debbiec6216]

Marc cracks me up, the things, he says !!

[@akneemoose3383]

So much fun! Great music and I love you continue to tell us your RV tricks. Happy travels. Forgot Trish love your nibbles 🧄

[@0HARE]

Yeah, thanks doing such a great job filming and editing this episode. I definitely saved Mesa Verde in Google maps, with a note linking your Mesa Verde Travel Guide. In addition to all the stunning views in the park, your dinner in that verdant valley was just so beautiful. Onward

[@ourmobileadventures]

Love the Trek T-Shirt! Ride Bikes, Have Fun, Feel Good

[@rob-cindyrobison]

That was a great video! Hate to say I didn't know it existed. Glad it's on my radar now! Always love watching your videos! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@richardgerster6526]

I’ll be following for sure. In the past year we have gone to 29 National Park properties 9 of them are National Parks

[@lustraveller717]

I loved that snazzy music at the end! I was dancing and bopping around my house while watching your video. I can't believe how quickly they cleared the road. You almost could have made another dog with all that fur from charley! Loved the video, already looking forward to next Sunday.

[@MsSunstoned]

I find the blog very helpful. Thanks & I appreciate the effort. The hummus & dinner looked wonderful along with the scenery ... Nice footage of the flood.

[@opaandomascampingadventures]

Just a quick comment. We made it to Mesa Verde and Fiesta Mexicana. Love it all. We went to Cliff Palace. Thank you!!

[@keithhathaway3004]

Excellent, one of your best. Just visited the Mesa Verde blog, keep bring that information on. It is excellent.

[@vinniecarter7183]

My wife and I are Colorado residents in the process of moving to our property in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We have been to Mesa Verde several times on our Harleys, awesome trip and beautiful views. We were able to book all the tours in advance and we had an awesome time. Being on bikes definitely helped getting to the different locations.

[@lcmm55]

We went there in summer of 2010, We are retired teachers now and were blessed with summers off and traveling to all the national parks out by mesa verde, canyonlands, arches, capitol reef, bryce, grand canyon north and south, page, AZ, Kanab, colorado river ride out of page to Lee's Ferry, The memories fade as we age (68) LOL but still what we remember is always great. Our kids were out of college then and our daughter like 5 star hotels so they stayed home in CT. We now live in Myrtle Beach, SC and livin" the life.

[@jackgrocer9117]

The stress just melts watching your video's. Thanks

Another perfect Sunday! Thanks, KYD!

[@kristinag1610]

This is great guys. Such great tips and hints. Love the history mesa. Whoa amazing

[@JohnSmith-xi2oq]

Mesa verde is stunning and awesome

[@seanjones8949]

Thank you for what you do! Every week I add to the list of places I want to go and explore due to your videos. We have formed a small group of friends that have started expanding our range as we RV more and more. The inspiration your videos have provided has been a blessing to get us out of our comfort zone and on the road.

[@marcolara4745]

A must on the bucket list

[@jimmoore7725]

I enjoy the video. The meal Trish made looks fantastic

[@rcycle4075]

You folks are amazing. If anyone has wanderlust (and incredible stamina) it's certainly you people. And all that travel translates to a wonderful benefit for followers like me. Terrific composition and photography. But the best part is the family dialog and interaction. Keep travelling and all the best.

[@susanberry3676]

Came over from the Bunkys also know as Jessica's page .. can't wait to see more videos

[@GailGrosskurth]

I am putting my name in for a Tricia RV travel cooking class…you rock it! Love how you feed your family and I am inspired to level up. Seriously though…put me on that list and I am there.

[@jamesflorance8313]

Elaine here. Trish, I love it when you share your recipes and cook. We have been to Mesa Verde many years ago when our kids were young.

[@jamiecrouch7157]

Mark...aka...the X chock genius! (Leave the Wrench on the x chocks)

[@rickrichardson5329]

Another truely amazing video. My wife was an educator before here stroke and we love the educational side of you videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Call me crazy but your 30 min 58 sec of pure bliss is just not long enough, so I just watched again 😍 Blessings

[@Rangerwife77]

I've been watching you guys since 2016 😁

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks!

[@Unburdened_Beauty]

JUICY 🍉🍉!!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩

[@leann4925]

Just think there were people that lived where you were climbing. Only if the walls could talk. So Happy to see Charlie as so loveable. Do give him a hug for me. Trish since hummus has gotten expensive that is a great way to fix it. Enjoyed and thanks. Do stay safe and Love y'all.

[@securit7590]

I use X chocks everytime now after an incident with some soft ground in spring. Unhitched and the regular chocks sunk right into the ground as the trailer swung around. Don't leave home without them! Safe travels!

[@thecarys563]

Thanks for the blog. So right the parks can be confusing til you get there!

[@chrismcalear3044]

Hi, Thanks for all your work on these videos. I have learned so much from you both. This video was amazing.I’m on my way to Homer AK from San Diego after being full time for a year. And I love all your personalities.

[@tomsharonadventures3585]

Love, love, love the blog. Please keep it up! Thankful for your KZbin channel & blog!

[@MattN03]

I was laughing so hard at Caleb shaving with a butter knife in the back seat! lol

[@timscaife9143]

favorite part of Sunday night!

[@lynoreabbott1010]

yes, you totally have to do the tours. we once stayed in the hotel. it was amazing!! the Trifecta includes Chaco canyon, NM and Bandelier, NM.

[@annblair4459]

Thank you appreciate the blog info too

[@andrewuriarte7581]

Happy Sunday everyone! Love yall 3000!

[@georgenettels765]

Love channel! Advice needs to be sound and complete, especially where SAFETY is a concern. ADVISE NOT SO SOUND (or complete) at the 9 minute mark regarding X-Chocks "eliminating movement". Scissor chock stabilizers lock tires into place which helps the problem but does not eliminate bouncing that you get from tires being on the ground. Additionally, the scissor chock stabilizers need to be adjusted when the tire cools from the trip. A better solution that requires more work is to put jack stands under the axles near the tires. A cheaper solution as well. Requires 4 jack stands, a bottle jack (which you should already have) for changing a flat tire), and a piece of cardboard to lay on. 1. Disconnect and level trailer as normal without corner jacks down. 2. "Bottle jack" up each axle near tire and insert jack stand close to tire. 3. Lower corner jacks down as support. Now there is a solid feel when walking around your trailer coach! Please remember due to weight constraints of building a trailer, everything is lite-weight so perfection is not obtainable. My wife loves sleeping in, therefore my obsession with a solid floor! 20 year 5th wheeler, 2 year class a "dp" PS....Advice for scissor chock stabilizers: NOT A WHEEL CHOCK, wheels need to be chocked properly first. Should only be used on a near-level spot at worst. Level trailer as normal. Use scissor chalk stabilizers as instructed. Check tightness of scissor chalk stabilizers after several hours, as tires contract as they cool after a trip. THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE SPOT IS NOT LEVEL, CHOCKING UNDER THE TIRE HAS NOT BEEN DONE, THE TIRES COOL, THE SCISSOR CHOCK STABILIZER FAIL TO HOLD THE TRAILER IN POSITION AS THE TIRES COOL AND CONTRACT. A common mistake because many folks may think the product is a wheel chock and stabilizer, having no idea about tire cooling and contracting.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Beautiful terrain. Thank you for a great video. Blessings

[@kristinag1610]

💕💕💕love you all 💕💕💕

[@toddramsay977]

There is a 6 hr documentary called The National Parks, America’s Best Idea filmed and directed by Ken Burns. It goes through how it got started, how the National Park Service was formed, etc. Must See! Great tips on Mesa Verde, we haven’t been there yet.

[@alysiachristensen5475]

Awesome!!!

[@waynecornwell2321]

Thanks for bringing us along!

[@fvsmith]

Allll right back in the airstream! Good to see y’all back again and another great adventure! I sure hope our paths cross!

[@Bsargentnoble1]

And, yes. The tips, the info you provide on your experiences at the destination, are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[@jbaker1107]

I've been to many of your blogs as I travel. So yes, they are worth it!!

[@ericsouther1027]

Thumbs up for the Anasazi!

[@arthurdavis9715]

Hi guys. Really enjoy your v ideas. I grew up in Cortez and have been to the Mesa probably 50 times. Even though I love the ruins, I think I appreciate the museum more. You really get to learn about the native peoples and their culture. I also was fortunate to go to a party for the archeological team that excavated the first part of Weatheral Mesa. Spent over two hours at the ruins with the head archeologist. What a learning experience.

[@timscaife9143]

and I agree - nothing better than a camper nap with all windows open!

[@stevedenoyer5956]

You guys are so much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@hopecrane]

How fun! I heard you say you want to go to Sunset Crater. It just reopened on Friday since it closed in April due to two fires and flooding. We were there just days before the first fire and it is epic! I'm glad its open and you will get to enjoy it! Safe travels!

[@VenturesomeCouple]

Fantastic 🤗 all about living your best life

[@trishalyons7587]

Calub that was priceless. You bring the fun 🤩. Tricia you and Marc complement each other. Can’t wait for the adventure.

[@hankperry]

Fantastic as always. Was there in March and enjoyed cold air and no crowds but the tours weren’t happening. I will need to go back to do that tour!

[@stevemerkle9663]

“What Is that, cream cheese? No, moisturizer and a butter knife” 🍴😂🙌👍 Bahahaha …. That, along with “who would of thought lettuce and a blender would bring things to a halt” Love the that part of the world! Great Ep… drone and music 👍👍

[@russellschafer6493]

It was almost like you followed in our footsteps. We did stay at the first RV spot for three days. Ate at the same Mexican Restaurant and hiked the Knife Edge where you stayed the second night. Very nice.

[@elainec3314]

I have never missed an episode but this season is just the best of all ! I'm from the province of Québec (Canada) and met a nice couple from Texas last weekend in a camping trip and we've talked about you and how much you help us all and give us the little push we all need to also keep our daydream... Thank you so much !

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Elaine!

[@maryannewilson4973]

We watched this episode like we do every Sunday. After Trish made the hummus, the greek olive salad, and the salmon and added everything to the bowl, my husband said, "I want to go to THAT restaurant". LOL. 😋

[@ronhoffman632]

Wow! We were just there a few weeks ago. From the RV park to Cliff Palace. We had a great time. We have also learned to take screen shots of passes before heading out to the parks. We are enjoying our time in our 2018 Classic FBT. Thanks so much for sharing your travels. We have learned so much from you.

[@drinkinslim]

Caleb with the jokes. 😂 He's clearly the MVP.

[@marleneclark4186]

Thank you Mark and Trisha, Caleb, another wonderful adventure with real life happenings. I love the National Parks. Seeing them all are on my bucket list. Thank you for taking the extra time to give us all the scoop on the Parks. Spent time in the great PNW this summer, can’t wait to see where you adventure to. I’ll be back in the Spring, looking forward to your notes. 🌸

[@TheEdelKampers]

What a fun video. We added Verde Valley to our must see list.Thank you for sharing. Mary💕Fred

[@hankremer6606]

Excellent.

[@vlunceford]

Hi, guys! We were at Mesa Verde in April 2022, just before the tours opened for the season. It would have been GREAT to have had your blog ahead of time to know what to expect. When we first got into the NP, we thought it was pretty anticlimactic after all the great things we had heard about it….that nearly an hour drive to find the ruins nearly had my not-so-patient husband ready to turn around and leave. So glad we hung in for the rest of the drive. We are what you might call a little older, so ot sure about actually doing the more strenuous tours, but it’s something we might try when we are back out that way from home in NW Georgia. Thanks so much!

[@mscattale]

Brings back memories of going here when I was younger with my brother and parents on family vacation! Great vacations! Great memories!

[@davidoverholt251]

Wonderful show you three! Did that trip back in 1957! Looks like I was just there!

[@capturingourdash4659]

We just missed you! We left the day before the road to Cliff Palace and Balcony house were closed. We will be back to see them. But I would also recommend a hike up to the fire look out tower. The ranger was super friendly and even let us go inside and gave us a tour of her equipment. Super interesting! If you have bikes we recommend the road up around the Long House. Hidden gem! They use to run teams on this road. Now the road sits empty. A long walk for sure but great for bikes! Lots of ruins to be seen and we head them all to ourselves. Also we were there on our anniversary so we are at the Metate room. For sure one of the best meals we ate on our 8 week journey.

[@carlossouto2540]

KYD you guys rock and thank you again for another great video 👍🍺👏 from Milton Florida

[@mikedeneve01]

Hey KYD, after many years of watching this channel, we picked up our new 27FB GB from Woodland 's new store in Lebanon IN. Many thanks for the inspiration with this channel! See you next Sunday 8:01 EST ! BTW...Calub has a fall back career in comedy. Love the "parent imitations" 😂

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Congrats. So many great places to visit in Michigan too!

[@WanderedOff]

We visited Mesa Verde in February of 2020 in the snow. We couldn’t hike down or tour the sites but it was beautiful!! We’ll have to go back someday when it’s not snowing. And yes… that long drive in!!!

[@davidfromtexas9681]

Our first National Park was Mesa Verde and it did not disappoint. One thing that we did learn is little dogs are more susceptible to hypoxia and the side-effect of that was literally liquid diarrhea. You can use your imagination as I add the “incident” was as we were leaving the park. I look back fondly on that trip but my wife might not because the dog was in her lap. Whenever we talk about that I giggle uncontrollably until I look over at her giving me the “evil eye”. Great memories of our RV travels!

[@marvawiebe4364]

Thank you for another great video and for going the extra mile to do the blog. I know it will be a great blessing to many!

[@markjohnston8661]

We've got to get to Mesa Verde. Great video! Starlink is a game changer, isn't it? We haven't streamed a video for over 3 months until we got our Starlink delivered and working. Enjoy the national parks this season!!!

[@rebekahwells3737]

You guys are awesome. I love watching Trish’s recipes!

[@cheryllundholm8779]

That flooding was amazing!
