Roodle is a happy dog. What a beautiful life you’re giving him.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Roodle is such a joy! Tonight he hides between us as people light off fireworks. Take care and happy new year. 🐕🎾

[@nancyseiler2844]

Roodle’s sure picked a good life. Thank you for giving him that.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Our pleasure, Nancy! Roodle has a special gift of making people around him happy and smile. 😀

I grew up there. We say Chu-pack-uh. I've fished there several times. That entire area is beautiful. It was an amazing place to grow up

[@TP-es1pf]

We really appreciate that you guys don’t have drama and “click bait whining” on your channel.. we watch a few other travel channels too and they have all resorted to newspaper type headlines and slightly misleading phrases… sad Appreciate your normalcy and down to earth-ness…👍 And of course, Roodle….😁

16:09: these bulbous clouds (near dead center in the video) are known as cumulus mamatus! They are considered very rare to spot.

[@RhondaMoore-p6z]

It can be very challenging as an inexperienced camper. Just knowing how to pack for a camping trip can be very daunting. Even more so, it can be frustrating not knowing what would be the best place to choose. I would like to say thank you ! Now we can spend more time enjoying our camping trip and less time trying to decide which place is best. It is all due to your knowledgeable experience, Keene insight and not to mention those amazing views that you have captured.

[@vanordinaire]

Washington has many climates, geographical diversity and great places to find. Glad you shared this one. ♥️

[@tomburke1960]

I’m at 8400lbs in my Promaster and know exactly what your talking about with the steep hills and loose gravel. Great idea to walk up and radio down that the coast is clear to go for it! Love your journey and I always check your videos when I’m traveling through an area to find the best spots!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Right on! glad it was helpful.

[@phil4341]

The first time I was there was 1969. There were a few dirt areas to camp and it was stocked by a fly fishing club. The last time I was there was 2005 and I was driving a Ford Ranger with a 4cyl motor carrying a cabover camper with a utility trailer. I got stopped at the cattle crossing and had to take the long way in. It's much farther and steep. Not as bad as the first section you did. It takes you way up on the mountain and drops down to the campground. There was a nice trail towards the end of the lake that would take you to Bowers Lake and beyond with a right turn that would take you to the top of the ridge to the east. The view from there can look both ways north and south following the valley. The fish can be spectacular in there.

I have to say thank you because your videos have helped in so many ways. I have been looking forward to watching this video in particular. While watching the beginning as you were driving in to your campsite and showing the Beautiful views of the mountain peaks I found myself wishing I knew the names of the mountains you were showing to the right of the passenger side vehicle.

That road....You guys are brave. We encountered a road that I just could not continue on. We took the Dog out and I made a 7 or 8 point turn around. There was no room for 2 vehicles. The drop off edge was so steep, it ruined me for those kinds of roads now. After we came down, we looked at it from below and from the highway. It is on Copper Creek road past the falls. Hwy 95 North of Bonners Ferry. It forks and the road goes up the side of a big mountain. Its almost Canada like where you were but East a bit.

That road looks like the one into Burro Creek that had at least three places my Promaster spun the wheels, especially coming out. Had to rest the brakes too! Still looks like a Megs place. Just got back to Kansas after 3 1/2 month’s traveling the northeast coast of US and Canada. Fantastic trip! Was going westbound but fell last night possibly tearing my rotator cuff, sprained wrist and contusion to kneecap. May be later than mid November before I’m out of here.

[@cheriwaller7598]

This is a cool looking lake! We are going to have to visit it! Neat that you heard and saw loons! We have loons in Northern Idaho (up north of Bonners Ferry) in Smith Lake and Robinson Lake. So, they are here. They aren't the easiest to film, though. It's almost like they know you are filming and they hide and are quiet. As soon as you put your camera up....out they come. lol. Aspen do grow at lower elevations up here. Here are just a few of the many places to find them in North Idaho at lower places. There is a huge stand at about 3200 feet in elevation going up Deer Ridge Rd (north of Bonners Ferry, and North of Moyie Springs), off of CR 72. There are several neat places to camp by Deer Creek near the Aspen. There are also Aspen in the "valley" area up by Boundary Creek WMA (right up on the Canadian border). You pass several Aspen stands on West Side Road getting there at about 2200 feet in elevation. The Aspen are also along the St Joe River, at Huckleberry Campground (a BLM site). That one is at about 2400 feet in elevation. Anyway, they are one of my favorite trees. I love to watch the wind going through the leaves.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We had family near Sand Point but wow, you are way up north! I would like to check Smith Lake area out a bit next time through. I love aspen trees as well! The sound the wind makes blowing through the leaves is unmatched. One one my favorite places in Wyoming has aspen trees growing out of white sand on the edge of a crystal clear lake. Loons are the best! If and when we ever settle down I hope it’s loon country. 👍😀

[@cheriwaller7598]

@@oneadVANtureatatime You've got to check it out! Smith Lake is free, so is Brush Lake. Dawson Lake is also free, but you definitely hear the traffic from Meadow Creek Road. There are also places along the Kootenai river to camp for free (one near Kootenai Wildlife Refuge and one near Boundary WMA). The one near Boundary WMA has absolutely gorgeous sunrises. And, there is free camping all along Deer Cr Ridge. Oh, and you can camp for free during the off season at Robinson Lake, Copper Creek, and Meadow Creek Campgrounds (spring and fall....winter would probably be inaccessible).
