Chris you are a ray of sunshine. Thanks for your cheerfulness.

[@matt_7617]

Hey, there are you again. Great you’re back 😊👍

[@frankcates3909]

Youz guyz certainly know how to put a vid together with scenery, travelin' musica, and pleasant dialogue, so nice & relaxing while taking us along with you. Even with the stress about the non-reserve campsite, y'all kept your cool. Stress is gonna be there but you handled it like adults. I hadn't seen that humorous thing before that you did, moving 20' to the next site, but made it more interesting for us. The REAL things that happen while motorcycle campin'. I'm sure you mean it when you said: "We still have fun". Yup, there's nothing like a babbling brook to sit by. Well, that was enjoyable for me. You made it, I'm watching on Sunday. Yea!! ... and thanx.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks a Bunch. We are really glad you enjoy them

[@TexasJimmy55]

It took me a bit; but I just finished binge watching all your videos. Sometimes I wished I was younger and braver to do just what you’re doing, now i’m in my very late 60s and just too many medical issues to go out for long periods of time. I truly loved watching your adventures. Now I travel in a big Super C pulling my pickup or my trailer with a Goldwing Trike in it. I will be looking forward for your future videos.

[@MounesPhil]

Rockin! A new Two Wheels Big Life video release. Hope things are going well for you these days and thank you for your time editing this release.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks.

[@almikelipscomb]

Yes, so nice to a new video. I may never be out that way. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Glad you like them!

[@smilinkyle]

I just found you all again! You're camping in my neck of the woods now. Being where you are, I would have told you to set things up for rain. That's what Western Washington does best.

[@bandknanacortes1858]

It’s always refreshing just watching your videos and your journey. Thanks.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I appreciate that!

[@karenshoucairmcgray4902]

The pot holes always find me too! Mount Rainier is my favorite mountain. Your camp site looks wonderful and I love what you scared up for supper! 😊

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

Very peaceful there on the river

Awesome! We love rainier!

Lol he finds them for you !

[@cjtheusful]

I thought it was a host / fake news when I saw the post for the first time. I got my fill-in last November 2023 , which was a beautiful sunshine day all the way to the top. This used to be my home for 13 years after serving my final years at Ft Lewis US Army. I will return in the summer of 2024. Hopefully, this time, we can visit B.C. Vancouver 😊❤. Be safe 🙏

[@raylee2241]

Funny😂

[@robertflores1820]

Great to you guys back

[@ynotccw4128]

I’m live in NE Tacoma about 40 miles from Ashford and the Mt.Rainier entrance. I do many day rides & overnighters into that area but being local, I know several wild camp areas and rarely venture into the state park campsites. My wife & I also RV camp in our Airstream and we agree trying to find a suitable campsite can be nerve-racking in the busier seasons. It kind of takes the spontaneous fun out wondering if your going to find a suitable campsite or not.. Best Wishes on you’ve travels.

[@wantsomething3319]

Great to see you guys again! Keep posting when you can, it's great to see you when we do. Jayman...

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks! Will do!

I'm so glad y'all are back on the road again. I just watched your last two videos, and my first active duty assignment was to McChord AFB 52 years ago. That is such a beautiful part of the country.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

That is awesome!

[@rayjones4951]

Mount Rainier how cool!

[@twowheeledgator1364]

I always find that securing nightly accommodations to be the most stressful part of long distance motorcycle travel. I guess I am not alone. Also, I loved the pizzas….you had me at pesto.

[@jenaebeck2873]

It is so good to see you two 😁 Great video❣️ Glad you ended up with an awesome sight for a few nights by the water. It can be so hard finding something without planning ahead and who wants to do that... hahaha Thanks for the video 💜

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@vernebrown4441]

I hope that this is NO WERE near real time...BIG winds and lots of snow. Be safe and have fun.

[@bluewendytube]

Enjoyed that, lots of greenery usually comes with rain, it’s not stopped here all day but at least your tent is a good size. I could almost smell that cooking, it looked delicious.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks 👍

[@hondaryder3779]

Meanwhile in Europe: ,,Why is he cooking for a family of 4'''🤔Just the 2 of them, right?😉 And ofcourse you brought the kitchen sink 🤷🏼‍♂️ I'm just proud of you guys being able to minimize your load to 1 ton each.😊 Great to have you back, good to know there's life worth living after retirement. Forgive my twisted humor, i'm Dutch ik weet niet beter.

I`ve missed you guys! So glad to see the rest of your travels.

[@billreynolds2221]

Your resilience is quite amazing. Inspiring actually. Be safe.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Awesome. Thanks.

[@patriciawooten3232]

From Wheelersburg, Ohio,, BE SAFE!!

[@bigalon3wheels]

Might I suggest when doing things like rice or spaghetti all you need to do is bring the water to boil put in your dry item allow to re-boil then put as lid and remove from heat and allow 12 to 15 minutes for it to cook while it set off the heat and it will cook just fine. The only time it might fail is if you are camping in temps below 55 degrees for the pot will cool too fast.

[@charliedobihal3136]

Thank you for another fine vid!

[@tomfillmore9710]

Good video it's nice to see you guys again have a great week and be safe

Hey guys good to see you guys again been awhile you guys ever get a chance come up to Mount Baker area

[@mattrudisail1446]

Looks like you were up there during a warm spell! Beautiful area - was up there during the "pandemic" in 2020. How many miles do yiu have on Ms Alice, now, and have you had any mechanical issues??

[@AdventureswithRedbeard]

Looks like the rain finally caught up with you.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

It did but not bad.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Enjoyed it. Thank you. Blessings

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Betty

[@georgiawilson5715]

We had to laugh at the first fee minutes of the video. I think your "fellow motorcyclist" who stopped with you was "watering" the bushes!!! 😆 But, Mount Ranier region is gorgeous. We were just there this past summer. I bet camping in the Rainforest was amazing. I'm always amazed how resourceful you guys are!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Ha yep he was. I didn’t notice that until after I edited it.

[@BootsandJeansRiders]

Beautiful location. That creek OMG!!! First come first served is a risk for sure. happened to us this bikecation in Rosevelt NP. SD. We had chanced it and had no luck. Went to another FF campground and struck gold. See you on the next one.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

The next video shows the place We missed and we did do better at this campground. Cheers Rich tell Kake we said hey.

[@loveandbikes5461]

Love your videos. Is this an old one? Are you still on the road? Looks nice and green and warm for February. Hope you’re doing well. Thank you.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes it is an older one.

[@sailgoal]

Fun watch. Thise are good problems. 🙂 Work tomorrow sadly. God Bless.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

You got this!

[@cdplatt1965]

When I seen this post I thought wow it's cold and snowy here in Eastern Oregon so this must have been a trip from the summer months ? Also what is that pole you have your GoPro hooked to when riding ?

[@gsrider569]

What a beautiful place!! You guys sure eat well on the road considering the limited resources. Bravo on that. Motorcycle question for Richard. That air deflector behind the rear cylinder on the RG, It looks good, but what is its purpose? Does it direct cooler air to the rear jug to help cool that cyclinder or deflect hot air downwards for the rider? I like the look of them and considering getting a set for my Road King.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

they deflect the hot air from the rear cylinder form the rider. Definitely worth it. I also found the factory tune is so lean it make the back cylinder very hot.

[@mattharris2398]

Shez a qt 😊

[@boscodog4358]

Hey guys,. Do I need to stop looking for your videos?

[@karenallen5208]

Richard is a very talented man. They can't go believing they can hide the potholes from him; he'll find them all. That sure is some beautiful scenery, I must say.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Karen Hope all is well with you Cheers

[@Buck1954]

Your last statement was "see you in the morning" two months ago.

[@jeffchapman570]

I greatly enjoy your videos, but I’m kinda confused,when was this taken? Are you guys back in Arkansas? Are you traveling again?

[@raymondsprouse9286]

were did you guy's go

[@billstapleton8833]

I have followed your adventures for some time,think that I have seen all of your videos. I have a question, you went from pulling the Bushtec to the fold up camper to the RV ,I understand giving up on the RV,now back to just the two motorcycles and tent.Was there a benefit to not having the Bushtec?

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

To be honest the only reason we didn’t have a Bushtec was we couldn’t find one. Definitely easier to travel without the Truck and RV. We have a Bushtec now.

[@boscodog4358]

Richard, what is your navigation system?

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Its a Garmin XT. I do love it BTW

[@dennisjoiner3717]

What do you use to plan your routes on or with for the GPS. I think that's a GPS on your left handle bar. It may be your phone. I've tried Garmin Base Camp, but I'm struggling. Been writing my turn by turn routes on a piece of paper I tuck under the front edge of the seat or put in a shirt pocket. Got to be a better way!!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

It is a Garmin on the Handlebar. I look on the phone then drop point we want to go through. The Garmin adventurist routing. Will sometimes take you through nationhood's, so i just plot it out before we leave

[@c-31100]

Cant mr pottuol take a traktor battery extra from home 🤔

[@tomnordick8859]

What brand is your camp chair. It looks like it sits higher than others .

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Which one. Chris’s. That chair is discontinued now. But yes it is a bit taller.

[@ericlunn5323]

Does that Yeti keep things cold longer?

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes definitely does save on ice

[@ronniecox7300]

Sorry, you guys.😂

[@boscodog4358]

The availably of campsites is kinda depressing 😢.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes and the reserved ones that stay empty

[@PowerScissor]

Mount Rainier reservations system is such a mess and how can you plan anything based on first come first serve...it sucks because all day long you have people driving by slowly staring at you, then after a few minutes asking when you're planning on leaving so they can plan their stay...even though that's not how it's supposed to work.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I think the entire reservation system has a problem. We have never not had a place to stay. Sometimes we would just boondock somewhere, and if that doesn't work, out hello Hotel!!

[@PowerScissor]

@@TwoWheelsBigLife That was fine before I had kids. I've slept in my car in a parking lot many times before, but just doesn't work with a full car and family. Now it really ruins a trip if the kids are expecting camping, and you just end up driving around all day and end up in a hotel.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

@@PowerScissor True Its just the 2 of us We had a RV when the kids were living with us Cheers

[@Buck1954]

I would have moved the motorcycles over there first to keep anybody from taking the spot.
