@terry williams How are you doing today? I hope you are doing good

[@memeking5376]

You'd be Tarzan, I'd be more like George of the Jungle...watch out for that tree...splat! Arkansas is my home state and I can tell you there are huge catfish and bass in that river in addition to lots of other wildlife. My dad and I would fish the Arkansas river bottoms, sweet memories. I look forward to your trip through the south with hopes of seeing some of my old stomping grounds. Happy trails!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Lovely memories! We love Arkansas! The beauty of Arkansas surprised us!! Next weeks video is at lake Ouachita

That fish hitting the kayak would have had me paddling for shore, Carrie

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

From what the locals were saying...there are huge catfish in the river here. 😀😀😀

Henry is a Heron the white one is an Egret. I like how the Owl looked up at your circle lol.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank you! That’s what I thought! And I loved the owl looking up at the circle ⭕️ I thought that was very cool!!

[@wellsonwheels457]

Your photography is the BEST. All those birds! Owl!! 😍😍😍 Those snakes will leave if you go into the water. My family frequents lake Texoma and they have all of those snakes. I don’t blame you for being nervous. Just helping ease your concerns about Roodle

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Thank you! Most snakes will leave you alone but I still don’t like them!! I could not believe my eyes when I looked over and saw that owl!!

Soooooo close to 20,000🎉🎊🍹🍷🎊🎉🍹. You have one of the highest ratios of likes compared to amount of views for all the channels I watch. In hundreds of rivers trips in canoes and mostly kayaks I have only had one Snake who insisted on sharing my kayak with me. I really like the map idea with the colors. I will have to steal that one. Looking for your videos are the first thing I do on a Saturday morning. Always a thumbs up 👍

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We hit 20,000 this evening!!!! When we meet on the road I gotta here about this snake who insisted on sharing your kayak! I think I might abandon the kayak!!!!! Thanks for spending time with us each Saturday!!!

I was thinking the same! It would be fun to do a drone flight before and after the leaves come out. 😀

I loved the video! That was a very nice campground, I don't think Roodle was as happy as he usually is. I was pretty excited to see you will be traveling through East Tennessee, my stomping grounds for almost 80 years! I love where I live, but it's for sure allergy city! lol Blessings

Granni Anni, Hi neighbor. It is exciting to think they will soon visit our great state. We welcome the Rudel's with open arms.

Roodle was not as happy because mom wouldn’t let him go in the water! We are really excited to visit Tennessee!! I’m hoping to see lots of waterfalls and the smoky mountains.... any suggestions? I’ll get the allergy meds ready for Dave!

FYI, I've been subscribed to you guys since your channel had only a few hundred subscribers. I was waiting for this morning's video to pop up on my feed (which it usually does around 6am after my morning chores in the barn), and it never came. I searched for you, watched the video and noticed that KZbin had unsubscribed me. Bah. Hope its not happening to too many! I'm back in the fold - and always looking forward to the Saturday morning video. :)

It's kind of funny, how worried I was with you camped by a extremely high river and you were expecting a storm but u posted the video so of course you made it. Nice spot and I wouldn't want to be around snakes either. 💜💙🐕🪱

[@donthonkpush9105]

We sure appreciate you introducing us to US Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds. We stayed in two different locations this past weekend on the Snake River in Washington. Both were open parking lots with pit toilets, picnic tables, fire pits, shade shelters, boat launch, garbage cans, and no water; but the locations clearly allowed overnight camping per their website and signage. Nothing fancy and very little privacy, but we arrived after dark and left after breakfast, so it was exactly what we needed and they were free. Thanks for encouraging us to look into COE for camping opportunities. We look forward to gaining new insights from your videos each week.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

That's great to hear! We love to share useful information and see that people are trying it. How beautiful is the snake river right now? We hope to camp alongside that river someday. Happy travels 😀😀😀

[@donthonkpush9105]

@@oneadVANtureatatime We were on Lower Granite Lake. It was quiet (except the train at 5:50am, the noise was terrifying because we had no idea what it was) and dark at night, but we saw some American White Pelicans (at least we think that's what they were) on our way out. We were able to catch a glimpse of the WSU crew team and their shells at Wawawai Landing as well as a mini hydroplane do some trial runs. There are other, more private camp spots on the river though.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Lol! We had a similar experience with trains in West Virginia. We found a quiet camp location with nobody around next to the river. No joke...we counted 18 trains roll right by that night! We learned quickly why we were the only ones there.

[@TerryX2Explore]

I am a bird lover and would definitely love it there! Thanks for showing us another amazing place! Saved it to our COE list.

Hi, Thanks for the nice video. The three best things in the video were -The music in the opening shot, the sunsets, the sounds of the water birds. Just watched two of your older videos Gilman tunnels and Alabama hills if you visit them again you could make videos of them in your present style and add some of the lovely drone footage you have. Take care and have fun🤣😝😜

Atleast with a rattler, there is no doubt whether or not it's actually venomous...LOL. I'm good with bats, but living a place where rabies is not a problem, that might be part of it.

How old is Roodle? I’m guessing he’s still pretty young with all that energy to burn. He’s hilarious and adorable! 🐶🎾🐾 Congratulations on 20,000 subs!! 👍❤️

Roodle is 5 years old 😎 He is a very happy dog and makes us smile all the time. Thank you! We are excited to hit the 20K mark. 😀😀😀

When you come through east Tn let me show you the mountains

Thank you for the invite, John! We just met up with some van life friends “nomadderwherevan” here in Tennessee and have a list of crazy places to see already. We are having a bit of a challenge finding a remote free camping location near the smokies. Please let us know if you have any ideas 😀😀😀

@@oneadVANtureatatime Seems to be so hard now since Covid. Everyone is into RV camping. As for free they for the most part do not exist except walmart type deals. There are a few on IOverlander. Your best bet is National Forrest using recreation.gov. The most are on the East side of the park near Cosby TN. 10-12 a night there are some FF sites. Sure wish we could meet up and show you the non tourist places in my park. By now you are gone from TN

Great video. What kind of kayak is that and where do you keep it thanks!

[@TFader61]

Can you give me the name of the kayak thanks

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I will get the info tomorrow. It is small and light enough that we store it on the roof of the van.
