Just looking at the blog map, my cousins, who introduced me to riding motorcycles. Lived West of where you were, in Cedar City, Utah.

[@abehatt7887]

Gary’s narrative game is strong! Another great episode.

[@richschuster1097]

I love your adventures with Gary. He seems like a perfect riding partner.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

I think so!

[@JoeSmith-nz2ju]

She rides her own bike, she camps (like real camping, in a tent), takes awesome videos. You can't get much cooler than that... GOD BLESS YOU, your brother and other adventurers like you. Thanks for sharing your videos and I hope your channel continues to grow. Oh, can't leave out the chunky oatmeal.

[@CampingwithRadios_kg6dve]

Great video. It's wonderful watching siblings travel together. Even if you have to eat chunky oatmeal. Travel safe.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@winchester92stevebrook44]

Amanda and Gary, thank you for taking us along on your trip, and showing us the beautiful landscapes to be found in Utah, inspirational.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MichaelH416]

I really like that your brother is really involved in the production as well. You always have great videos. Great music, good mix of live sounds and voice over. Great views on and off the bikes.

[@driftlessbiker]

I would highly recommend a Thermacell Backpacker for your Alaska trip. We used one on mine in 2022 and it was a life saver for our camping. It runs on your normal camp fuel canisters and fits in the palm of your hand. It was so great getting to meet both of you at Get On ADV fest in Sturgis!

[@KevinKeller-aka-Chef]

I second the thermacel - took one recently on a 6000k ride through Minnesota, Great Lakes, Indiana and other states chock full of mosquitos and it was magic when running. There are also some hand-held battery powered options.

[@kramr7012]

Chunky Oatmeal! Also eaten dry… straight from the cylinder….when I need to reset my appreciation in general. Great videography! Narration from Gary is A+. Thanks for taking us with you!

[@atfromaz]

These sibling adventures are so fun to see. AK = bugs for days! Chunky oatmeal. 😅

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Glad you like them!

[@jlw4048]

Chunky Oatmeal!! Amanda, saw you today on On Her Bike’s video. So awesome that you make the designs for her shirts!! Can hardly wait to see your video from that day! Also, enjoying you and Gary’s Utah series!! Awesome music too!

[@kristinanncreations224]

Gary is a great narrator. I am glad you two are enjoying many adventures together and Chunky Oatmeal. 😂 When is your episode with Kinga coming out?

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Got 2 more episodes from Utah coming, then 2 episodes from ADV Fest, THEN the Kinga Video lol 🤣

[@kristinanncreations224]

@@AstheMagpieFlies looking forward to all of them.

[@bryananderson985]

Chunky Oatmeal! I am planning a trip from WV to Utah next spring with my son. Yes, both of us on motorcycles all the way camping as much as possible. We have made shorter multi day trips to this point but this will be a leap for both of us. The video you put together just makes me all the more anxious for next May!

[@mweingar]

Love that you two are making these moments and sharing them with the rest of us! I suggest you do an episode on different approaches to dealing with the bugs. I bring a light that doubles as a bug zapper with me. That and repellent wrist bands. They help some. Thanks for inspiring us all Amanda and Gary!

[@johnjenkins9202]

I found taking a couple of garlic pills everyday for a few days will keep all of the biting insects from getting to you. I have always hated bug spray.

[@davidcurtis2884]

Chunky oatmeal ! It’s great to see you back on the road Amanda. I do hope you are doing well and enjoying this trip. Take care and I can’t wait to hear more about Alaska 2025

[@Don-ev5ov]

I grew up in the Four Corners and my dad worked on the Navajo Nation. Love seeing this area.

[@nickbenfell4327]

Chunky oatmeal. One of your best videos yet and good to see Gary along for the ride.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sherrycook7043]

I just finished watching the vid. and enjoyed it as always. I will watch it again and take notes to add to my to-do list. Your blog will help a lot if I decide to recreate your ride which I might do. Thank you Amanda and Gary for sharing your adventures.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@richardoswalt1009]

Beautiful, you guys are getting it done the fun way. My wife and I biked for 25 years and are traveling by motor home now. We miss the bike time sure passes fast. GO FOR IT!!!

[@2woofs784]

Hey Gary, That bird thought your phone was the bomb . I love watching you and Magpie adventures. Prayers Flying from Michigan for safe travels.

[@brucegerken1063]

Great video thank you very well done as always. Your photography is top shelf thanks for all the work you put in. Can't wait to see your interview with Kinga I refer to her as the dancing Queen. I have see all of yours and her videos. Thanks again cheers to ya.

[@hal5119]

Chunky Oatmeal. Noooooo. That was great! More please.

[@roy.actual]

Paste oatmeal is the best. Thanks for taking me along.

[@sarahporter9541]

Oh yeah...chunky ostmeal..and Life! I was born and raised in Africa...traveled a lot! But dream of riding with the wind...like you two! I dont think you ever lose "itchy feet" once youve got the bug. Love your videos..such fun..and interesting!

[@vitalwaters]

The joy of a head net is readily apparent on a Alaska moto journey.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Yes yes yes

[@TheHdleif]

Love your vid`s Amanda, you and Gary make a great team, also like that Gary does voice over. Beautiful scenery and filming, great composition whit the music and scenery. Keep up the great work! Love from Norway!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thanks so much!

[@haneymoto]

That bird has amazing aim. 😄 Chunky Oatmeal is the best

[@jameslee5428]

Amanda and Gary U2 are National Geographic narration quality. Simply stunning video quality. Still laughing at the bird pooping on Gary’s phone. you siblings make a great pair out there on the road on those iron horses. You two be safe out there, keep the rubber side up, and most of all keep laughing. Enjoy life to the fullest.

[@stephenjacques554]

Must be nice to have a sister that likes to adventure ride Motorcycles, would give anything to have the opportunity but not going to happen. Going to Utah next year, going to be staying in monticello for the month of June, thanks for the preview appreciate it. Gary seems like a great brother. SJ

[@auggielau]

Chunky oatmeal!!!!! I was just there in Blanding for several days back in June. Rode Moki, Muley Point, Natural Bridges and Valley Of The Gods. AMAZING area like a postcard around every corner. Thanks for sharing! 🙌

[@ChaosCoffee87]

Chunky Oatmeal !! I love watching you two on your adventures. Thank you for sharing! I cannot wait to start riding and take a trip with my brother!

[@fixento]

As usual your photography is stunning, and y'all's adventure is both informative and entertaining. Chunky oatmeal, enjoy.

[@mmlamendola4227]

I totally agree on the chunk oatmeal lol. Gary knows whats up

[@129NATE]

Really enjoyed Gary’s narration. He has a knack for it. Awesome trip!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thanks so much!

[@travelswithaidan]

Chunky Oatmeal 😂. Loved the Goblin valley rocks. Great episode

[@leayoung3014]

Chunky Oatmeal! I never miss an episode! Love you both!

[@ladyjrider666]

What an episode, absolutely love your travels and seeing places I'll never hope to see in person. Thanks to both Gary and yourself for taking the time to film (and edit) such areas. Ride safe, LJ Chunky oatmeal 😅

[@mototrips1]

Great video...I can appreciate another Gary who rides 👍

[@seaninness334]

CHUNKY OATMEAL! Extremely nice scenery. Thanks for taking us along. 😀

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thanks for watching!

[@LindsayDaly]

Okay those cabins were top tier!! USB, candy, and with the restaurant right there! haha. That scenery out there is like a painting! I might just have to head to Utah next. But I'll have to watch out for the birds! And OMG Alaska ugh one day... so excited to see you head up there!

[@marcoluoma3770]

Thanks for another beautiful episode. I don’t have siblings, so the way you work together is fun to see. And Gary gives me major beard/mustache envy. I need to up my facial-hair game. Thanks.

[@sarahstephen2841]

We never miss your episodes. Thanks so much Amanda & Gary. Chunky oatmeal 👋 from New Zealand

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thanks so much 😊

[@fistfulofgoldwing]

I loved this episode! Brought me back to my ride out there from Florida in 2021. Can't wait to get back, Chunky Oatmeal notwithstanding.

[@gdroege44]

You are Gary are the best! Glad to see you’re back on the road. 🏆

[@henryhawk978]

Stayed in one of them cabin s in Hanksville and food was really good at the restaurant. I'll never forget my first trip on 95 from Blanding to Hanksville. It was so hot and I was riding my air cooled Moto Guzzi from Alabama. Enjoyed the video Amanda and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

[@amygardiner2278]

Chunky oatmeal is the best! Lovely photography! Thanks for another wonderful ride.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@advredbikes]

Chunky Oatmeal, LOL, great adventure guys, thank you!

[@theadventurecooperative]

That was so good. totally see why our friends said come check you out. I was hypnotized right to the Chunky Oatmeal.

[@tobedetermined4180]

Chunky oatmeal, never miss an episode. Been watching for a very long time, not always comment , but always praying and sending good vibes for you. Be well and adventurous.

[@amyhoagland3476]

OMG you’re coming up here to Alaska!!! That is the best news I’ve heard all day. We love your videos. Our door is open to you any time.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thank you very much 😊

[@trex860]

Oh Amanda, another beautiful video; thank you so much for sharing. It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to go out west and see all these amazing things, but now that I’m 67 I’m not sure I can make it. But seeing Dukes RV Resort gave me some hope. I’m going to try some local camping to see if I can survive a night in a tent without destroying my back. Take care!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

You can do it!

[@clifffawcett]

So fun! Beautiful cinematography, excellent storytelling, great music. Gary is so much more comfortable on camera and is showing his personality! Also… ALASKA 2025!!! So freaking excited about that! And… of course… Chunky Oatmeal. #endscreencrew

[@Drmario023]

No chunky oatmeal for me Really love your series with Gary, he looks like a great adventure partner and he's great at narration. Did you ever think of getting a thermacell for mosquitos? Those work great and there's a model that fits on butane stove cartridge, it's called the backpacker. Can't put a link in the comments... Keep up the good work, your videos are amazing. Have a great day Mario

[@GibbAsp]

Thanks for the amazing views! One place to visit to add to my dreams 😀

[@mermaidgaleena]

Fun video with great scenery, of course! Chunky oatmeal! Yum 😋

[@georgejetson4378]

Amanda, you are amazing! Ride safe. Sending love your way!

[@JustRide1568]

Great video, love love riding Utah!!! We have been to almost all those places. Great memories and cannot wait to return. Hope yall make it down Hwy 12. Never had Chunky Oatmeal, i believe i will pass. Lol. Safe travels

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Wait for the next episode! :P

[@darondeplazes7871]

Always enjoy your adventures

[@OutonaBimble]

Love this series! Sorry I'm a little behind, been on my own adventures. I'll be using this series to help plan our Utah trip next spring, unfortunately, it's a four wheeled trip (hubby doesn't ride) but it'll still be fun. 🙂Chunky oatmeal is my favorite, I even add muesli and chunky peanut butter to it to make it extra chunky. 😂

[@johnjenkins9202]

I had a little at a time until it's just past chunky and starting to get to creamy but still sticks together. Love the views will definitely have to put those highways on my map for future travels

[@KevinKeller-aka-Chef]

At least Lolo Springs, MT to Kooskia, ID has water in its 108 mile stretch of no gas or other services. Love that stretch and bet you’ve done it a few times. Longest I’ve done without services or water is Rachel, NV to Tonepah, NV - 109 miles - though sometimes the station in Rachel isn’t open, so it’s 154 miles from Ash Springs, NV to Tonopah w/o services. When I was on my Triumph Bonneville T-120 with a 3.5 gallon tank and range of at best 180 miles loaded up, that was a nail biter.

[@Ratkity]

Chunky Oatmeal! I loved it all. Fabulous pictures and editing! Rubber side down and safe travels.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thanks so much!

[@JamesHyde-tb8os]

Chunky Oatmeal. Outstanding video!

[@bamills6771]

Great imagery- looks like you found some wonderful places to camp/stay

[@TheBlueDogMan]

Great post by you and your brother Amanda. Some spectacular views there. Maybe I’ll get to them on my bike one day. I love your bed music and I also love chunky oatmeal.

[@irvinmartin9259]

Yep. Chunky oatmeal! The whole Southwestern U.S. is a dream trip for me. Unfortunately I can’t get into the US. (Nothing nefarious. Just bureaucratic BS). This is beautifully done video.

[@Argo-F-Ur-Sef]

“Chunky Oatmeal”. Great video. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Moab but I’ve never ridden 95 all the way thru in that area. Looks amazing.

chunky oatmeal's the best!!! Its been ten years plus or minus since my brother and i rode on some of the same roads. your video is making my mind demand that i return to the area.

Chunky oatmeal. The desert of Utah is stunning is so many places.

[@robertdl]

Our family has been traveling the US in our RV for a couple of years. We spent a few weeks in Hanksville earlier this year as a launching pad for Capital Reef. We really enjoyed the area and Duke's Restaurant. The Mars Research Center was a cool thing to see. It looks like you may have missed it. Happy Travels!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

We knew about it but we can only do so many things in a day and we were under a tighter schedule 👍

[@robertdl]

@@AstheMagpieFlies Yeah, we experience the same thing. We typically spend 2 weeks at a National Park but I still work while on the road so we only get about 2 weekends. We always leave thinking we wanted more time. Love your adventures. Once we settle back down I will be able to take my own two wheel adventures again.

[@BlackThor15]

No gas, food or water but still an amazing video Amanda!! Looks like Gary is your best riding partner, thanks for sharing!! 👍👍

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

The best!

[@JohnDoe-xr5is]

Last November, my wife and I stayed at a motel in Montecello....and we ate at that Mexican restaurant! It was REALLY good.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

So good!

[@HeimVegenAdvbike]

Amazing scenery! Great filming and so much to see 😀. If I camp by water then there has to be a breeze at least to keep the bugs off my chunky oatmeal 😉😊

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thanks so much!

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Love Chunky Oatmeal too. You are so inspirational Amanda. And my day is always better after watching your videos. I caught up with Robin The Lady Biker recently here in Sydney Australia and we were chatting about you. Travel safe ❤
