MONTANA ROAD TRIP | SNOW IN JUNE | Greeting Our Son After An Epic Expedition // EFRT S9 EP15

[@robertedwards7430]

Even when Pete hugs his father he never sets his camera down, that's a hard core young man with a serious future.

[@EFRT]

Agreed. He has a very strong work ethic 💪🏻

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Good morning everybody! Thumbs UP to EFRT!!

[@DefiantOffroad]

It's been so long since I've ventured out to that part of the US, and I really need to fix that!

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

My dad did with his RV what the military does with their aircraft...when he deployed the leveling jacks, awning or other device, he would place an item specific embroidered flag on the steering wheel (stow awning or retract leveling jack, etc). Hard to miss when you want to drive. Thanks for sharing.

[@EFRT]

Good idea. Thanks

[@CampingRuss]

What an amazing video guys and what an experience for Peter Junior to experience that’s absolutely extraordinary and fantastic. They should make a sense or light or you shouldn’t be able to start your vehicle with the top being up something. fantastic views guys and what a great place that Overlanding Ranch I have to check it out next time. I’m in that area. 😊😊 ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

[@LunaGrace62]

Happy Sunday to you! I look forward to every Sunday! Safe travels!

[@EFRT]

Thank you

[@wanderlandxperience]

We will also be at the PNW Expo. Might see you there. Safe travels!!

[@EFRT]

Sounds good. See you there.

[@lydiab5200]

Beautiful country. Love the drone footage

[@patricksmith3135]

Good morning EFRT empty nesters. I just watched Dan and Pete did arrive. I should have watched you first to see Pete arrive at the landing before I saw him at home. Oh well. Can't wait for the next issue. Have a fun week.

[@EFRT]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the videos! ❤️

[@spinbains]

From West Chester, OH Great video! I replayed your drone work 3x. You know, I went back to Pete, Jr @ the airport & didn’t notice the RossMonster camper top was up….if the shot was from the other side(comparing the windows) I may have spotted it! Like you said, “You do it once” 😅 Honestly, when hatch backs on SUV’s came out - how many people drove down the road with them up …. And the conversation in the vehicle was “What’s that noise?” 😅

[@EFRT]

Glad you enjoyed the drone shots. Pretty epic scenery in Montana. Yes, I think I’m going to do a circle check before driving away next time. 😆

[@jkandkiminthecamper]

Great video you guys! You have to be sooo proud of your kids-they are doing amazing things in life. We are proud of them too! So fun to watch them prosper in life! Amazing X Overland Ranch! Proud of you, too, Carol…overcoming fear is hard sometimes-I’d be like you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@EFRT]

Thank you. Yes we are. So glad you guys are enjoying the videos. Hope you have a wonderful day.

[@Derindnzcihan7907]

Sıcak bir mevsimde soğuğu hissetmek izlemek müthiş geziyoruz dağ, tepe...sevgiler. 🇹🇷 ✌️😉👍🌎🤳👣

[@robertedwards7430]

I'm just so impressed a Canadian knows who Lewis and Clark are. Impressive!

[@janeskusal5368]

It is taught in school. Grade 4 and 8 I believe in Alberta

[@EFRT]

Carol and I listened to the entire Lewis and Clark audiobook “Undaunted Courage” it was based on their journals. Fascinating!

[@freedompanda9438]

Yup! I live in NW Montana…and it can snow in August. 🤣

[@peperetuque7744]

nice and tuching video thank you

[@EFRT]

Glad you liked it.

[@chrissolomon8868]

Another incredible video with so many emotions and adventure ...but frankly I get so much senti watching your videos as if iam also part of your family....god bless you all and take care ...

[@EFRT]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@stephenlewis8143]

Excited for you, & your son. Memorable video & story line, thank you. If driving N from SLC one goes to W Yellowstone and then N into Gallatin Valley or W & N on the Madison route. The Gallatin valley appears to be your route, white water spots & the full canyon are beautiful. You finally land W of Bozeman & head W to Three Forks on the N side of freeway. There is a park there with a hill, where "Clark" stood and viewed (& named) the three river systems - Gallatin, Madison & Jefferson. That's where you met your son, with warmth, hugs & harmony. Lewis & Clark with Sackawagea took the Jefferson (& a fork) (SW to near Dillion) & then part of the group marched 20 miles W & found Sac...brother. Days later the Indigenous with horses took the crew N to Lolo (S of Missoula) & then the most difficult part of their trip, through the mountains and then to the Columbia river. On the return trip they split after getting trough the mountains, Clark (with Sac....as a guide) went E past Bozeman to modern day Livingston & traveled that wondrous Yellowstone River route (E), meeting Lewis & others at a Junction near the N Dakota border where the two rivers join. Clark in his memoirs called it one of the grand highlights of his trip. Stephen Ambrose decades ago wrote the seminal book on the Lewis & Clark journey. More recently, a book recommended by him (a companion book) is the text "Along the Trail with Lewis & Clark, 3rd Edition, by Barbara Fifer, maps by Joseph Mussulman." It offers a guide to the trials (route) and color maps with detail & historical sites listed. Each section of the trip with maps, it's a splendid book. (We got ours in Bozeman a few years ago). Standing on the Hill adjacent to the actual 3 forks (Madison & Jefferson join) & then the Gallatin (to the E) which then 'spill' into & create the headwater (point) of the Missouri River system. It's a historical site and setting & it's still semi wild & not developed,

[@EFRT]

Thank you for your comment. Yes we find the Lewis and Clark history fascinating. Caroline and I listened to the entire audiobook “Undaunted Courage” on our trip to the arctic a few years ago. It’s wonderful to revisit all these historic places.

[@krismiller5474]

So stoked to meet you at the Expo, safe travels!

[@EFRT]

Likewise. See you next week.

[@kevinbaird27]

Thanks again for an Epic video. Enjoying your adventures with my family as well. Cheers!

[@EFRT]

You're welcome. So glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@anthonymissirlis3710]

Glad the camper is fine . Maybe do a check list * before leaving camp * ( turn off water pump , make sure everything is in it’s place, lower camper , lock door etc ). At least you know it’s strong enough for highway while up 🤷‍♂️

[@EFRT]

Yes, circle check before taking up is a great idea. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day.

[@flyfisher530]

Wow that camp spot in Montana was AMAZING! And those chairs....hmmm, I thought the Front Runner would be tough to beat....hope they have them at PNW would like to check them out. Also spotted a flyfisher530 patch by the doorway of the Rossmonster! Petes river expedition was awesome, congratulations! Looking forward to seeing you guys at PNW!!!

[@EFRT]

We are in love with the K9 chairs. Simple and comfortable. Looking forward to seeing you at PNW expo. We need a few fly fishing tips 😅😎

[@mikemecklenborg5412]

I was just visiting Kootenai Falls in Montana June 12 while attending our son's college graduation in Spokane Valley, Washington. Loved the falls. Going to McCall, Idaho in October to the see Fall Colors and do some fly fishing. Grizzlies are always a fear reguardless of who you are especially in Montana.

[@EFRT]

Those are some beautiful places you are camping up. Yes, agreed - in the mountains it’s always important to be bear aware. Have a wonderful day.

[@leonasimmons162]

Be safe.

[@QuietCottage]

Beautiful video!

[@gailrothermund9209]

Excellent ❤❤❤

[@KAStodgell]

Make a video about your trailer for all of us to share.

[@The_Riddler21]

✌️❤️👌

[@fidiusjwhoopie]

welcome to chemical ice nucleation,compliments of the geo engineers, not natural to have it snowing with temps above freezing, which happens quite regularly

[@EFRT]

I guess we better not eat the snow then.

[@fidiusjwhoopie]

Exactly brother

[@carreensager]

Instead of selling your trailer why don't you give it to your daughter as a wedding present that would be the best present ever I would think.

[@NinaFinstad-k6r]

❤️💪👋👍🫶😘

[@billmoore7133]

Looks like they got that whole global warming thing backwards, I've been hoping for some global warming in my area, but it's not happening!

[@KAStodgell]

Are you sick?

[@EFRT]

No just a sinus thing 👍🏻

[@grahameroberts8109]

I doubt you would drive with the top up again but could a warning buzzer be fitted? Cheers 👍🏻🙏🦘

[@TheEpicUnknown..]

Great video. Great editing, shots, and music to capture and enrich the imagination. Amazing people and amazing family. God Bless you guys.

[@EFRT]

Thank you so much!

[@budiharyono5179]

ayo datang ke SUMATERA Utara, EPIC memang keren

[@Barret-paddles]

Wow, a lot here and talk about crazy weather! Has a New England feel 😉 As we are not getting younger, we have a checklist before and after hitting the road because for sure we would have made the same mistake 😉💕 Met a couple recently who left their slide out briefly 😳 It happens! Sending 🙏🏻👊🏻💕

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always EFRT. I always enjoy and look forward to watching y’all’s videos and see all the epic adventures y’all have. Can’t wait to see an adventure where the whole family comes along together like in some of y’all’s early adventures. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.

[@m.t.mobile]

Whoa! Love the Xoverland Ranch! Just may have to head to Montana and check that out! Can't believe you guys are sitting in the snow while we're here in SoCal in 100 degree heat!! Safe travels to the Expo!

[@FloatingVillageLife]

Your adventurous spirit in embarking on a river expedition and a Montana road trip is truly inspiring! It's a blend of exploration, freedom, and the joy of discovering new landscapes. And I am floating village life.

[@lornasleeper7262]

Beautiful country! Enjoyed your video as always!

[@IronWolfOverland]

That would be a great video - dumbest things / most damage done on an adventure due to fatigue. I just snapped off my HAM antenna three days after repairing it by driving into a low garage without folding it. This was seconds after telling my wife that I needed to remember to fold it; we both stood there in awe of our cotton-headedness! Improperly secured doors or hitches, steps left deployed, things we forgot to pack … I’m honestly lucky to be alive after a couple of fatigue induced whoopsies; like when I reverse somersaulted from my unsecured trailer and narrowly missed sharp branches!

[@EFRT]

Yes, that’s a great idea for a video. We could probably fill it up with all the dumb things we’ve done when we are exhausted. Hope you have a wonderful day.

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

Love this episode beautiful View! It must be so exciting traveling to so amazing places and meeting so many wonderful people and the weather was perfect even the snow I love rainy and snowy days is so relaxing to watch!!! Until your next adventure stay safe stay healthy and may god watch you through this awesome journey🙏❤️✌🏼my friend ❤

[@EFRT]

Thank you so much. Yes it is very fun. We are so glad you are enjoying the videos. Have a wonderful day.

[@CraigHuntBC]

Worked 2 summers in a Canadian National Park in the Rockies, you can get snow on any day of the year so good to be prepared. Even in the middle of summer carried down jacket, touque & gloves.

[@CraigHuntBC]

We have a Four Wheel Camper, we have driven with the top up & had the top pop up because of not snapping the latches. Now I do a walk around the truck to check before driving.

[@EFRT]

Yes, you’re right in the mountains. It’s always best to be prepared for any event.

[@EFRT]

We are definitely going to add a circle check to our routine. Thanks for your comments. Have a wonderful wonderful day.

[@ratnadipmajumdar8230]

It was a wonderful 👍 journey with you beautiful places to camp have a great time ❤.

[@EFRT]

Thank you

[@602North]

Wow…X Overland Ranch looks like such a cool place! Sitting here on the coastal plains of NC with heat warnings and watching you two in the snow!

[@territhreet]

Fun video. Thanks. I enjoyed ur journey. Can I ask why yall didn't have Lando with you this time? He is pretty easy to miss. 😊. Yall have a safe journey forward. ❤

[@EFRT]

We decided to leave him back at the cabin with Daniel. There has been a lot of bear activity this year and he is a good protector. 🐾

[@territhreet]

@EFRT oh my. 💖💖💖💖😊. He is a wonderful spirit. Enjoy. Yall are great protectors of him as well. I love how you allow him to be who he is. It's enjoyable to see him happy and getting to run & expend energy on the trips. Yall are wonderful Lando parents. Peace.

[@jaynemk.5186]

I have enjoyed watching so much. My fiancée is in the service waiting for him to come home. We want to fish and camp . Your vehicle has come the closest. I am from Colorado and want to explore more of my home state. Thanks for lighting that fire.

[@EFRT]

You’re welcome. Here’s to your next adventure.

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Another great episode! Very sad I can't be at Expo PNW this year. Looking forward to your Trans Canada series!!

[@wedowhiskeythings710]

Did I miss the video on what was done to the truck? Why was it dropped off back at the maker?

[@jaystewart9947]

Great video and beautiful country out that way! Very cool river trip that Pete jr was on. You guys experienced graupel. That’s the mountain version of hail. It’s formed differently than traditional hail. Almost seems like hollow hail. Anyway, thanks for sharing and enjoying riding along with you guys!

[@kimprocarione5473]

Awesomeness! When you last drove through Colorado, you drove past Rifle, where I have family. Now I have family in Bonners Ferry, ID. Both are gorgeous parts of the US. There is so much beauty here to see! I hope to get to visit Canada also. From what I have seen, it is stunning also.

[@ohnoadventures]

👍👍😁

[@JohnHMoore]

Look at your footage from earlier in this episode-you were driving with the top up then also.

[@JohnHMoore]

Mmm… maybe I’m wrong… Loks like there is one window that shows when it is closed… will have to check again…

[@EFRT]

Yes, we left it up just before dropping Peter off at the airport. Both Pete and I were taking a nap and I guess we didn’t fully wake up.

[@azdesertrat9104]

I've experiences snow in August! So, no surprise there 😊 My oldest brother loves that cold, cold Montana weather and has been there for nearly 20+ years with his wife and 4 adult kids. It is beautiful there, but for me only in the summer. I'm an AZ girl and need the sun and its warmth. And Carol you are much braver than I am. I just prefer to NEVER have to run into any bear (Black, brown or Grizzly), or wolf! Stay safe y'all!

[@Eveloffroad]

I know a lot of RV people that have a pre travel checklist when they leave. I’ve also seen people use those Snap bands and wrote things then put them on the steering wheel so you don’t forget.
