Love the Gig Harbor, we were stationed at Ft Lewis and lived in Steilacoom, Wa. We have a deep connection for the region around Puget Sound.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Oh man you guys were so blessed to live in such a beautiful area. Ss close to Vancouver Island! 🙌

[@RetiredRoadTripping]

Couldn’t agree more about family first! So good to know that Swagman is a great company to work with, if we ever need it! We are excited to see your upcoming adventures! Thx for sharing! ❤~Lareka

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Thank you for joining us! Next we take the rig on the Ferry and the third degree from customs. lol😂

[@airstreamer]

Family First. That was interesting about the Elks. 🤔 That is our worst fear, having to drive at night and arrive that late at night! 93! WOW! That boat was really beautiful. - Jim & Michelle

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hello Jim and Michelle, thank you for joining us! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁 Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@charleneedwards6343]

We are staying at the Gig Harbor campground right now. It is a nice campground but even more important to me is it's clean, quiet and the staff is just the friendliest most accommodating we've encountired so far.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Charlene, the best part it’s just a bike ride to town! We had a great stay there! Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@stuwardw]

Holy cow, Vancouver island!!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Yes sir! We can’t wait to share 👏

[@robertcolpitts4534]

Hey, y'all! Another enjoyable video! This is a bit late. I'm "burning the midnight oil" at work as we are preparing to drill a new oil well in West Texas (gotta keep those diesel prices down, don't ya know)! The rig is on location, and we start "turning the right" at noon tomorrow! We can certainly commiserate about coming in late and lighting up someone else's camp site with bright headlights. A chugging diesel is worse, too! What we do is get lined up and switch to parking lights so as not to disturb other campers. Since buying the 2500HD, we make every effort to get in, check in, and get parked while it's still light. It's a lot easier, and folks around us don't have to put up with our lights and noise. I'm a road warrior and can drive 12+ hours, but at 71, I think it's time for us to "slow our roll," too. We really enjoyed the cabin cruiser footage. That looked so interesting! Those pads look interesting. I have 4 pads that we park our trailer wheels on when we shut down for the winter. They're made from ground up recycled tires. It keeps our tires off the concrete so they don't deteriorate. We only use our trailer a few weeks out of the year, so the tires need to rest on something that won't react with the rubber compounds (yeah, that is a thing). We're looking forward to the next episode getting the 3rd degree from customs and your new adventures on Vancouver Island. Drive safe, and God bless y'all! Love y'all! ❤ Bob and Dottie

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hello Bob and Dottie, thank you for joining us! These StakPads are made from recycled tires. So far they have worked great! Hope the rig hunting is doing good! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@robertcolpitts4534]

Well, we're still looking and putting money away for the down payment. We have to sell our current rig, too (we'll get more for it that way). We've narrowed the field down quite a bit. We'll keep y'all posted. Love y'all! ❤ Bob and Dottie

[@catalina2442]

You two are just so fun to watch…your genuine character just explodes through the screen. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences with us all!

Looking forward to the new and fun adventure you take us on. Take care.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Matt. We had the most incredible adventure! Hold on buckle up you will love this trip. The video does not do the beauty of this place justice. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@bobanddangsjourney]

Hey guys - we look very forward to this season. We seriously love Vancouver island and want to get back there with the RV - but that will have to wait another year or two -so we can live this vicariously through your videos! Great that you could release info on that new snap product. - I remember you mentioning testing when we ran into you at the balloon festival - you finally got to let that cat out of the bag! Safe travels, Bob and Dang

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Happy Thanksgiving Bob and Dang! Vancouver Island 🏝️ was definitely gorgeous!! We hope you were able to spend some great quality time with your family. We need to catch up on your Alaska trip. Looking forward to seeing you soon! Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@Jasonrcsd]

Stan is cooler than the other side of the pillow! I can only hope when I have grandkids they think I'm cool, my kids would say otherwise. lol

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Jason, thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@melodygrandinetti5016]

Our leveler have a nice matt to put down under to keep from moving

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Melody, for us traveling as much as we do. It’s nice to have a few less steps when setting up and breaking down. The Andersen levelers have always worked great for us. With the StakPads we just put them down and pickup. Four less steps. Thank you so much for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@karlamartins2761]

Beautiful yacht! Glad you were able to see your Aunt and family. Excited for the new season!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hello Bruce and Karla, Happy Thanksgiving!! Thank you for your continued support! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@janemuir3546]

My Husband is an Elk, we have tried staying at a lodge. Unfortunately they were not smoke free like our home lodge. Can't wait to see your Canada videos!

[@janemuir3546]

We are going to Quartzite this year! Will you do a meet up there for those of us that aren't in GD rigs? Would love to be in Tucson, but we wanted to be in place/parked by the 15th in Q.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Jane, thank you for joining us! We are having a meet up at the Quartzsite RV show. We be on the north side on the outside of the midway at the MORryde booth on Saturday January 25th between 1:00-2:00. We love to meet you in person!

[@walterrafolski5662]

Happy Thanksgiving!🦃

Hi Kathy, Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@letawalters6906]

Interstate 15 N from Logan Utah to Pocatello is boring. You’ll miss the Beautiful Bear Lake…Highway 89 is stunning….

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Leta, thank you for joining us! We will have to put that on our list. Thank you! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@dougwilliams3276]

Hello from Camano Island, Washington!

[@dougwilliams3276]

You to! Its so wonderful to be able to have Holidays all over the country! Were buying a new Z3400 Brinkley next week. Time for a new chapter in our RVing lifestyle. I still cant belive you go to the Tides Tavern and have a burger~~ They make the best Clam Chowder LOL

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

@@dougwilliams3276we looked at that one! Beautiful rig basically the Grand Design Solitude 310Gk. Beautiful!! Blessings find your new adventure!

[@ClayLee-x1r]

Next trip to Canada try and get over to Banff if you haven’t already. The Glacier waters are amazing.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

We are definitely heading that way in the future. With Jasper burning down we thought we would wait. But yes it is on our list. Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@ClayLee-x1r]

@ we stayed in Radium Hot Springs and day trippped to Banff and Lake Louise.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Thanks for the tip!

[@timf6916]

Nice, I Love Family get together. Stan’s BIG GUNS might be illegal in Canada. Hehehe it’s the before Thanksgiving. Hope You guys are ALL HAVING FUN.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Tim, wait till I hit customs. We got the third degree. I think we won on how many questions the Custom’s officer asked me! lol Happy Thanksgiving lots to be thankful for! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@bishopgeorge1333]

Hello there guys, you guys are in my parts.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hello Bishop George, I think you meant to say prayers. Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@StephanieGolden-zs2dp]

Hey guys! This might sound like a silly question, but after looking at the Elks application requirements, we need 3 references that are Elks members. How do we find members? We might have friends that are, but it's not something that has been talked about? I wonder if our pastor would know? Is it common to share membership references? Thank you for your help and can't wait to see the Canada trip to Victoria!! Beautiful. :)

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Stephanie, in order to be an Elk, you have to love God and country. Somebody in your church is an Elk. Then they will know two other friends that are Elks. You can also ask all your friends on Facebook if you have Facebook. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@dwightpriddy8111]

Can I go a little bit off subject? First, love your site; I'm 92 and can't travel any more, so am using you as my surrogate. Off subject - it is pronounced Too come carry for Tucumcari.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

@@dwightpriddy8111 thank you Dwight! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda 🙏🏼❤️
