ROAD TRIP TO JASPER - VAN LIFE MISTAKE [S7-E52]

[@normawingo5116]

In the USA the do not pick up hitchhikers signs are within 5 miles of a major or high security level prison, so you won’t inadvertently pick up an inmate.

[@TheShauNanigans]

Huh... I can't say I've ever noticed them before, but this does make a lot of sense.

[@flippinmentalproductions9990]

Thank you for showing me some of the world. I'm disabled and would never be able to do the things you are doing even though it was my ultimate goal in life. I loved looking at Sumela monestry. I'm new to the channel and its a fab way for me to see everything xx

[@daverandall2059]

Been living here a long time and thats one of the best drives ever!! If you're heading to Banff and the Icefields Parkway IMHO its the best drive in the WORLD!! And in my 70 years I've drive all over Europe as well as a lot of N America!! Slow down, see the sights and ENJOY. Keep up the good work.

[@theindieprojects]

The train park up was hilarious! Great video and always a pleasure hanging out ❤️

Eva directed me to this channel and so far I'm glad she did. Great energy here.

Welcome Trevor 🌺

[@tramacmeg8103]

You went thru the door in the ferry and it brought back a flood of memories as a kid running all over the boat! Sooo many memories! THANKS!!!

[@peri3818]

Love your Aunt. What a hoot and so supportive. Riding that scooter and advertising you, she must get a lot of looks and people asking her about this van picture. I bet she is fun to hangout with!

lake louise inn alberta canada is really beautiful too! if you never been there. :)

[@kathifoynm]

We’ve all had “one of those days,” but they are most frustrating whilst traveling. I’m sure you have ingrained travel habits, but when routine is disrupted and fatigue sets in, watch out!! I’ve enjoyed Aunt Julia so much. Marianne and Julia’s laughter as you were saying good-bye was so similar, I could tell they were related. I certainly have that drive to Jasper on my bucket list. So good to see you and the Indie Project folks together for a good visit. Travel safely!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Yes! Thank you! When I grow up I want to be just like Julia !! Fearless, Fun and positive about life - she is just fabulous !! 💕🌺🙌 Love Marianne xx ps - so excited to be going to on an adventure with you next year !! woo hoo xx

[@nickergun4943]

Hello Ambassadors This was really a nice video. VANQUVER and Jasper has beautiful sceneries. I loved it. We here had to deal with Hurricane IAN which hit us on the west coast Tampa area with cat 4 and left 2.5 million people without electricity and streets were completely flooded and some claimed that sharks have been spotted in these waters on the street. So, I got a chance now to watch the video. Really, I enjoyed the video. I hope the HUM sound from Trudy is not something to worry. Be safe. Sending lots of love from Family in Florida 💕💕💕💕 I🇹🇷🇹🇷🙏👍👍👍

[@TREADtheglobe]

Hey Nick - you and Florida have been our thoughts - we are so glad to hear you are well as we have heard how bad this has been for so many - our prayers and thoughts are with everyone effected and send big hugs 💕🙏🌺😘

The I 93 and Highway 1 from Banff to Jasper.......we went up it in glorious sunshine, then 4 days later drove back down it after heavy snow......bloody gorgeous!!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow !!

[@stevepjackson]

Great vid guys and good to see you met up with the Indie Projects, been following them for a few years now. I recon I could sleep with the sound of that train passing.... its not like you hear it every day in the UK haha

I am a long way behind catching up with your videos (I really want to watch them in order!!) but we visited Jasper and the Icefields Parkway a few years back, so looking forward to seeing your time in Jasper 👍

[@iremfrat7771]

I missed "Oh, you are still there!" 😄

[@lindawoody8501]

I have been to Vancouver City once and loved it. Was before a cruise to Alaska. Beautiful city. We took a short bus tour of the city and stayed in a harbor-side hotel with my late Mother who traveled with us. Canada is lovely. All of the NW Pacific is gorgeous. Safe travels. Thanks for bringing us along for the fun and lovely scenery. We also experienced camping in our RV next to the train tracks in Williams, Arizona, USA near the Grand Canyon National Park. At night every 4 hrs. or so a train would blow its whistle as it passed through the town.

[@margarettownsley9500]

Fabulous video I’m excited to see parts of Canada I do like the look of it thank you Chris and Marianne for sharing your round the world road trip xx

A great vlog with a cast of characters.Many blessings to Aunt Julia and her mobility scooter, Trudy's Canadian cousin Rudy.It was great to see surprise guests Theo and Bea,I was wondering if it was Chesca & Ben . All the best.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Glad you enjoyed it - it has been great hanging out with Julia and seeing friends again - we hope to meet up with Chesca and Ben (and pups) when we head back South ... woo hoo - I can't wait for some puppy love 😂🌺

[@les.6343]

Great drive & video from vancouver Island & ferry brought back lovely memories from our fly drive trip. Jasper town is very nice also Banff. Whilst in Jasper we looked at the old steam loco by the tracks and watched a freight train swap drivers & pull out we counted 165 flat cars with containers doubled stacked on 70% of them. When your in Banff go up the mountain lift then across a huge valley in the gondola its well worth it. Have fun guys.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Les - we are excited to visit Banff too

[@TREADtheglobe]

Yep she is fabulous !! xx

[@richardkoker8749]

you know what, I have been making a whole long list of places to see, because you have been there....!

[@LambyDingo]

Banff and Jasper are not the only towns inside Canadian National Parks. There is also Waterton townsite inside Waterton National Park on the Canada/US border in Alberta.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Oh if is see the park ranger that told us - I will pass this on !! 😂

[@LambyDingo]

Interesting that even park rangers forget about Waterton Park and townsite but it is my favorite because it is what Banff and Jasper were when I was a kid 60 odd years ago. Waterton National Park is Canada's part of the International Peace Park with Glacier National Park being the USA part. In Waterton you can take a boat ride that crosses the international border.

we stopped in Flagstaff for a few nights and had to leave the aircon on even though it was quite cold just to block out the sound of the trains

Wow, that must feel so weird to have actual night after so much midnight sun. Abbotsford is the town Chrome grew up in (Vancity Vanlife).

[@KimberlyJ751]

The signs reminding you to not pick up hitchhikers are often posted around prisons, just in case :)

[@mzomy3992]

In this case it is for safety on the freeway - no stopping for hitch hikers because it could cause an accident. Only stopping allowed for emergencies.

[@keithfenwick5502]

To be honest after your arctic adventures I thought I might be a little deflated watching your next travels ... but I was wrong.... it was the omelette 😉good luck god bless you 🇬🇧🍀👍🙏

[@TREADtheglobe]

Awesome, thank you!

[@bobbutcher7725]

Just loving the scenery. Tell me, is there a charge for entering and going through all the National Parks?

[@TREADtheglobe]

We are not sure on all the parks - but will share it with you as we pay when we enter any of the parks 👍

[@Faeley]

Just certain sections of road are illegal to pick up hitchhikers due to missing people in the area where it is illegal. Hope that explains that.

[@christinamann3640]

I feel the same way about coffee 😂

[@Irishjoe]

Hey you too.. First of all is that a Saint Brigid Cross on the lockers at the back (very Irish thing as we were all thought to make them in school as kids ) and second question is what sort of mileage is on Trudy .. What a fantastic van she is serving you very well ... Love the vids and love your energy..love from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@TREADtheglobe]

Yes it is !! And she has 110K miles and she is doing great - she is doing things that are way beyond what she was built for ... as are we !! LOL 😂😂😂😂. She is having some work done now ... and she will continue - WOO HOO 💚🙌🚐🌺

[@adrianadrian255]

Sorry about the ferries! They’ve been terrible this year - they just fired the CEO. The crossing is prettier at dawn and dusk though. The coastline off to your left as you made the crossing is known as the Sunshine Coast. If you remember an old TV show they showed some decades ago called “The Beachcombers” that is where it was set and filmed.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Oh thanks for the info - I will check that out

They usually put up no hitchhiking signs up when you are near a prison So that if a prisoner escaped, they can't get away by car or kill you.

[@terryomalley1974]

Enjoy Jasper. Must've felt good to have gotten back to civilization? I don't know about other provinces, but here in Ontario it's technically illegal to hitchhike on a highway, although it's rarely enforced.

No hitchhiking. It refers to the highway of Tears. Many people have gone missing and murdered of indigenous Indian females.

[@TREADtheglobe]

No - this is in Canada - not the US ...

[@TheShauNanigans]

Thank you for not making a huge deal about parking at the Walmart. There's another couple I follow that always have some click bait title about their parking lot experiences, and then all that happens is them showing the fact that other people park or use the parking lot at night for whatever reason. Nothing crazy happens. Other people are simply using a parking lot that exists to be used, but they're all THIS IS OUR NIGHT IN A WALMART PARKING LOT... SUPER SKETCHY!!! And I'm over here like, calm your titties. If you can't handle this you really shouldn't be on the road.

[@TREADtheglobe]

LOL !! We are super grateful to Walmart, Cabellas, Crackerbarrel and Bass Pro - and all of the other shops that have allowed us to have a park up at the end of a long day of driving - giving us a level, well lite, open space park up spot in a city is a real treat - some even have Wifi !! woo hoo 🚐🌺🙌
