Travel by Train into Verde Canyon! Dave hikes Sycamore Canyon | Boondocking in Arizona!!!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

In todays video “ The Verde Railroad” I noticed there is a gnome hidden along the train track. I will send out sticker packs to the first 3 people who find him…..IF YOU CAN! The first 3 people who message us with a brief description and time stamp to [e-mail] will get a sticker pack and a Roodle keychain.

[@trumer-and-co]

Wow! Completely did not notice that. The scenery was spectacular. You guys are too cute! Guess I'll need to go back and check for the gnome. Thanks for another great video!

[@Mary-yu3sn]

Love the slow down mode!!!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank you, Mary! The older we get the happier we are to slow down and enjoy the place that we are in.😀

[@lindagolden9892]

Slowing down your travels during these ridiculously high ⛽️ prices has proven quite eventful for your camping adventures. Luv how compatible your relationship is, full of laughter and joy and Dave’s beaming smile whenever he talks with you, as well as yours towards him. Hope y’all thoroughly enjoy the journey on less traveled roads for many years to come. 🚌

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank you, Linda! This slowed down lifestyle seems to be suiting us well. Roodle sure likes more ball time and less travel. 👱‍♂️👩🐕🎾

[@pammilner7161]

We live here and have been looking for days drives for older folks. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. We talk about taking the train all the time.

Wow, wow for both adventures.We were worried when you went on your long hike....bravo. Love all the beautiful scenery. Thank you for your great shares. Happy trails. Stay safe.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank you, guys! A very pleasant hike nearly shaded the entire way. It's definitely the season to be snake aware. We have seen 3 in the last week.

[@Volunteersunrise]

Very glad Dave did not cross a Rattlesnake. Enjoyed the hike and so glad Carrie got to take the train ride. Great video guys. Roodle deserved a rest. Lol

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We are finally starting to see snakes now. 3 in the last week, but no rattlesnake yet. I am sure they are out there.

[@carolynaskew9774]

Just recently discovered your channel and we are really loving it! You guys do a great job of combining beautiful videography with amazing music (!), and then giving helpful info at the end. Keep up the good work! We are looking to get our first RV shortly, and while it will probably be too big to get to many of the places you go, we are definitely getting some great ideas for places to explore. Oh, and my husband, sister-in-law and I hiked that Parson creek trail a few years ago. It's beautiful, but don't go in July when it's over 100 degrees!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank you for all the kind words! We are honored that you are watching out videos. I bet the swimming hole on Parsons trail is packed on those hot days. Yes, I would stay away 😂 We are currently in a free campground near a wonderful warm water spring that any size rig can fit. With free water and dump. We can't wait to share more with you. 👱‍♂️👩🐕🎾

[@thelmahenriques6454]

Loved the train ride and that hike was amazing! I've taken the Amtrak from Kansas to LA a few times, absolutely love train travel. Although now, because I have a dog, can't do it anymore. That hike left me breathing hard right along with you, Dave!! So special you blessed Carrie with that train excursion..... Safe travels.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I have heard that Amtrak ride is a good one. It's funny, I go slow hiking down but fast on the uphills. I hope Carrie gets many more train rides in her future. 😀😀😀

[@allegrosotto2126]

Oh that's a hard choice between those two adventures, both amazing, thanks for sharing! I agree, I'd love a caboose, have been in one that was converted for short term living. Hope you keep NOT seeing any snakes😁

We have seen 3 snakes in the past few days, no rattlers yet. We know there out here. 😂

Thank you! You said it! There is so much to do in this area. Next time we hope to kayak the Verde River and explore remote roads around Jerome. 😀

I know a couple who put an old caboose on their property for family to stay in! The had a crossing signal and it's on 30' property of tracks. Very cool! We appreciate how kind you both speak to each other. Neither talks over or repeats what the other says.. very respectful! Love the changes in the landscape of this area! Hidden gem indeed!

Right on! Yes, it was money well spent. 😀 Now we will be keeping an eye out for more fun train tours.

[@martystoakes8516]

Thank you for this! I spent several days boondocking just a couple of miles away from this location earlier in 2022, and is such a happy spot for me! I look forward to coming back! Thanks for capturing it with video and bringing back the wonderful memories.

We definitely appreciate the road reports you guys give. Sounds like Opal might not make this one. The train ride and hike looked fantastic. We both got a laugh that Dave did it in his crocs. We're guilty of wearing them all terrain too.

Y’all should try to plan your Durango 🚂 ride during the fallen Aspen peak of season time. Lived 20 years in scenic Colorado and enjoyed many a day traversing the majestic Rocky Mountains. 🏔 ⛷ 🏕 🎣 🚌

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

That would be amazing in the fall to see those bright yellow Aspen leaves! Carrie says either fall of winter would work for her. I love the Rocky mountains all the way through the states. We have decided we are mountain people after 4 years of the road. After 20 years it must have been tough to leave this area.

[@Scrambler85]

Looks like a wonderful area. The train is on my list. I would have loved to do the hike with Dave that is my kind of fun. Carrie does a wonderful job with the editing. I think your slower pace videos are as good or better than the usual great videos. I am enjoying the additional information on the areas as you pass through them. Those rough roads look challenging. My vans lowest point is the rear differential at 9" the van has a limited slip differential. But the van has a 6' rear overhang that drags on steep driveways. I think I'm going to have to change the rear springs for a little lift. You once asked about the bulkhead door. I have been running a 9,000 btu mini split AC/ heat pump for a year now. With the door closed it makes about a 20 degree difference with heating or air conditioning. Always a thumbs up 👍

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Your clearance is 2 more inches than ours, sounds great. 6’ feet of rear overhang will be a drag for sure. Wait, is that a pun?😂 20 degrees cooler is like having your own shade tree everywhere you go. Very nice! Thank you for the encouraging compliments on our videos! We can't wait to meet up with you on the road. I request a full van walk through! 👍😀

Hi, Dave and Carrie. When I saw the train in the last video, I said to myself that a ride on that would be fun and sure enough Dave made sure that Carrie got a ride on it. Wow 😲🤩 that's sweet Dave and your power trek sure was impressive. Take care and have fun🤣😝😜

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Carrie had so much fun on that train 🚂 ride! Now I will be checking for cool train rides everywhere we go to see if there are more good ones out there 😂 That hike was fun!

[@moandjen]

That train ride looks like so much fun!! And that hike was pretty epic!! I wonder if our e350 could make it? We have brand new all terrain tires but only 2WD… 🤔 After taking Roodles advice on that trip last weekend Mark said “Where else does he suggest?” 😆

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I think your e350 is rear-wheel drive which means it will do better on these kinds of uphills than our van. Loose gravel and hills are the challenges for our front wheel drive. 😀

[@michele2017promastertravel]

So excited for your train ride. We have done a couple train rides but the one out of Sault St Marie UP Michigan into Canada's Agawa Canyon was exceptional. Did you know each train has its own horn pattern blow? It's so stations would know which train was arriving before it arrives in olden times. Curious if you could spot where you camped from the train?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Carrie said she tried to see the camping location from the train but couldn't locate it. We didn't know that about train horns but makes good sense! We were up in that area of the UP at one time, next time will be taking that train ride! Sounds awesome. 👍😀

PS- I did send an email to you guys about the little cute gnome

Hi Deb! Oh my gosh! We need to show a video of Roodle with his little booties on. He dances around in them for the first couple of minutes then is just fine. We noticed we can keep boots or socks on him for about 2 hours before the start to wear on his paws. We do use then often but then he needs a break. 4.17 for gas sounds pretty good, sad to say. 😂
