RV Road Trip Alaska: A Typical Day: Tok, AK, Laundry & Gift Shops!

[@SenecaRaccoon]

That is by far the most SERENE Laundromat ive ever seen! what a beautiful place to just relax about while clothes get done!

[@allwhowander6155]

The taxidermy work on the wolves and bear was outstanding. Thanks for taking us along in the gift shop, that was fun!

[@msnokia7300]

You're so adventurous, brave, resilient, independent and wholesome. You're an inspiration and I hope to grow wise and be free just like you one day! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, I truly have a new appreciation for traveling and learning about the history of each site you visit.

[@AngieMiddleton]

Even though I live here in Alaska and am nearly a life long resident, I have to let you know I enjoy watching your videos. Hope you enjoyed your trip up here.

[@AngieMiddleton]

J K we are in the midst of a recession here, though we are coming out of it. They estimate that to happen sometime next year. As for whether it is easy to find a job, it depends on which field you are in. Things are definitely better than what they have been the last 18-24 months.

[@faithrada]

Oh wow... love the carabu. Thanks for that experience. Doin Alaska on my "magic couch" .. what a world we live in!

[@lyndapoysor5573]

My favorite shot was inside the dryer. Thanks for all of it; i M enjoying Alaska. u keep on lookin' better.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Lynda!

[@mjc42701]

I loved this video too, it makes sense how you take your time and don't settle, you look for a site with a signal and end up finding a great place for free.

[@susieturk1]

The camera inside the dryer was so creative. It all was of course. But for some reason I loved that. It's the small touches.

[@gailjohnson6670]

Thank you for the video. It was awesome to be taken along on your trip.

[@riskybizness00]

Just beautiful scenery. Great video and appreciate the information about the animals.

[@davesilverman3325]

Hi Carolyn! It's Dave in Raleigh, the guy living in the old Bounder in the parking lot. I just finished watching the story of Capone a moment ago and I enjoyed it very much. I, too live with a dog and I get alot of guff from some because we're in the city and I seldom have her on a leash. Bella is a rather small American Staffordshire Terrier (aka pit bull), who was badly abused when she was a puppy. I rescued her personally when she was a little less then a year old. She'll soon be seven, so I've had her for a good six years now. As I mentioned in my last comment, I happen to be on dissability and like you, I live in my RV full time. The only time Bella and I are apart is when I'm in the grocery store or the bank and otherwise we might as well be joined at the hip. I have two kids, both adults now and my relationship with my dog is in many ways like my relationship with my children was when they were young. She and I are extremely close, as one might imagine. And those who would give us a bunch of grief over the leash issue obviously don't understand how you or I feel about our "partners". Keeping them reigned in constantly and "under control" deprives them of a more genuine life experience. The lot I'm in (for nearly half her life) is probably roughly ten achers and it's bordered by a CSX and a power line right of way, so she has plenty of room to run around. I still keep her in my sight. Do these people not understand how much we love our dogs? If you had your kid on a leash all the time it would be considered child abuse. For me, though in certain situations I do hook her up it's usually for someone else's benefit. My dog (like yours) is fine. Do what it is you do. Don't concern yourself with what those people who want to tell you how to care for Capone say. For all you know those people may not even be dog owners, anyway! Carry on, dear and have a blast!

[@fbksfrank4]

The Tok River campground has a trail that goes way back in the woods, an old Fire road, also power line walk to the local graveyard. Moon Lake on the other side of Tok is good during the week, good chance of locals coming out on the weekend to party and drive their jet skis.

[@kodeywhitewolf5756]

Sooo beautiful up there...Love the momma caribou shooing the baby up into the brush and then she came back to check to make sure they were not being followed Smart momma.Keep enjoying your adventure and thanks for sharing it

[@davidbrickey5925]

I don’t watch your videos for your comments. I watch your videos for the views Alaska wilderness

[@lovestwolaugh]

Wonderful video! Thank you again for taking us all with you on this wonderful journey. I just loved when Capone was sitting patiently for you outside while you were doing laundry. The scenery is breathtaking, especially the snow topped mountains.....so majestic! Namaste!

[@khubbard9489]

I Luv your videos, I wish they were longer cause you make me feel like I'm on vacation 😀

[@cebaker5671]

K Hubbard I told my kids that I am on a road trip to Alaska with my new friend Carolyn. They loved it considering they were sitting across the dinner table from me.

[@khubbard9489]

CE Baker 😂😂😂😂😂 I feel you

[@carolynclark588]

Love your camera work ....the dryer shot was great. I'm loving the adventures thanks for taking me along Carolyn.....HI Capone!

[@alanaward7183]

I'M A FAIRLY NEW SUBSCRIBER, STILL CATCHING UP ON YOUR VIDS. GIVING ME RODE TRIP FEVER EVERY TIME. SHARING FROM NASHVILLE, TN.

[@patriciamckean4186]

Seen a Mexican grey wolf in New Mexico. Also a coyote during daylight between Laposa south and laposa north it was crossing the road from tyson wash. Always be pet aware!

[@kathyadam9932]

What a beautiful tour of awesome campsites. Loved seeing the wild life. So sweet. I love your new sweatshirt. The trees are so pretty

[@barbhayes5613]

I can't believe you passed by the Mukluk shop! I would have been in there in a flash. Another great video -- so glad you finally saw some sun. When I'm travelling, too many gloomy days get me down. Cheers!

[@jenrasmuson4372]

I gotta ask, is there a Tok's Tokes dispensary in Tok? Damn, that should be a thing! ;-D

[@HomesteadingAlaskatoMaine]

Three words for when you get to Fairbanks..... Chena Hot Springs..... Lots of free camping in the area too.

[@kariwick-InnerPeaceCoaching]

To funny when Capone licked his lips after you said he ate your lunch! I think he’s thinking “totally worth it”!!! Kari

[@janicepeck4828]

Wow! What a view ! Camera in drier. Neat! Capone waits for you at laundry so sweet .Very nice laundry . Xpensive to. Enjoying the ride always do. Safe journey and continued adventures with moose visitors. I like T shirt. ♡

[@lindapearson3411]

Capone licks his chops when you said he ate your lunch when it fell on the floor😆

[@soniadorrottie9619]

I’ve been away awhile, glad to be back and so happy to see you enjoying beautiful Alaska! Hugs to you and sweet Capone!

[@sshiva6635]

You're my kind o' person, Carolyn - love ya!

[@bevtrue6937]

WHEN you go back to Alaska, you MUST see Sitka. I saw a video and was unbelievably wowed. It is not too far above Whitney (?), the first part you saw, on the coast. Float plane delivering mail, etc.

[@PWlangford1]

I like that Camp Ground for free and free Canoes. 🇨🇦

[@travelingtheresa6212]

Loved the caribou and Capone ate your lunch! Ahahaha! Alaska rocks!

[@debbiblakeslee3995]

Really enjoying your videos thanks for sharing with us

[@tonichisum3365]

Another good one! Capone wasn’t even barking at the caribou? He’s such a good boy🐾❤️ so interesting these places you take us to. The sky in that shot was beautiful. On to the next adventure!❤️🐾❤️

[@tinlizzy39]

Toni Chisum I wonder if Capone has always been like that or mellowed with age? LOL that's one concern I have with our pup but hoping she mellows before we travel. She's only about a year and a half.

[@joannalanzoni5913]

Appreciate how you took the time in positioning the camera in some funny spots at the laundromat!! Loved the footage!!LOL :-)... Nice job!! :-)

[@lizyoung2734]

Loved your video and all the gorgeous sites WOWZA ! Thank you girl and Capone is looking good in the Alaskan air!! Happy tails and trails till we meet again 🌲

[@michellem9182]

Your videos are so informative, educational and fun! Most of the other channels I watch, I can barely handle 10 minutes without wanting to turn it off. Yours was 26 minutes and when it ended I want to scream noooooo, I want more! Lol. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and adventures. ✌

[@happyhighway106]

#220 Good Morning, Carolyn. I enjoyed your video, very sparsely populated. A frontier style of living, reminded me of Upper Michigan back in the 1950's.

[@rebeccatreeseed410]

Look at the bitty black spruce. I was shocked, moving there from the 300' trees in the Oregon rainforest.

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

What a great trip.

[@annacummings5841]

Wait to buy mugs and a lot of your gifts until you get into Anchorage. Any of the walmarts in Wasilla, Eagle River and Anchorage have a lot of the same mugs and t-shirts at a much better price. Even some of the gift shops on 4th street in downtown Anchorage have discount prices on great gift items. There is some parking down on 2nd street for RV's that is large enough and within walking distance of 4th Ave. If you're able to get to Anchorage on a weekend, you need to make your way to the Weekend market on 3rd street. Great food and TONS of Alaskan art. Salmon tacos, deep fried halibut, etc. You can also pick up some of our great Alaskan grown fruits and veggies. Be sure to get some Fireweed honey and birch syrup. OH...and make sure to get to the Chocolate factory off of Old Seward and International behind the Peanut Factory. They have a ton of great Alaska wild berry chocolates, jams, etc. ;P

[@sueyates3555]

Beautiful scenery and beautiful clouds.

[@genericbugone5475]

I have no idea why but I liked seeing the Alaska Laundry Mat.

[@Mvn4Wrd]

LOL! Capone! Did you see his ears go back for a second when Carolyn mentioned he ate her lunch? 😊😁❤️What a sweet relationship.

[@jamierupert7563]

Awww, my Sunday night fix. Thanks for sharing another awesome video. :)

[@dominiquepardue6675]

I’m really enjoying your Alaska adventures, I think when I get on the road I’m going to have to spend the summer in Alaska!

[@jrandyoutdoors]

We got your stickers today! Yeah!!! Thanks you so much!

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

Hi Carolyn Hi Capone :) I think I would have had to put Capone in a Canoe and go for a ride😆 I saved that spot in my Alaska notes thank you! I don't like putting away laundry either lol or even doing it. I am in Maine and going to the Acadia National Park today!

[@keithcope8113]

Im like you in that i go into stores see stuff i like and think I'll buy that and end up putting it back lol good video safe travels

[@lolasaxby1399]

Love your videos! Thank you for sharing your journey with us all.

[@pamwillems383]

I'm loving getting to see Alaska without having to leave my recliner ! As usual another great video ! Be glad your not in Shasta or Redding California, It's on fire, My family ( cousins ) there had to evacuate. Safe travels !

[@carolyntolliver1146]

Would love to have seen the boardwalk at the Wildlife Refuge. Beautiful camp sites there too.

[@jwill5crew941]

I just love your channel and all your adventures..best of luck and safe travels

[@carlalafata9489]

Great video! Music is matching up with what you’re doing! Awesome views! Be safe, happy trails! Peace and Love ❤️

[@CHoggsVideos]

Just amazing how some people hijack the comment section. All I can say is keep up the good work.

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍😃Nice video. Capone was such a good boy waiting patiently outside of the laundromat. I know it was 26 mins but it seemed like it was over too soon....☝️and you didn’t say bye, you just left. 😔 I cracked myself up 🤣because you had me checking my device & YT to make sure neither one was malfunctioning, then I looked on top of and underneath my device for more video footage...and I replayed the ending 3 times. 🤣😂🤣

[@jasonkingsbury4555]

im all the way in washington and have met alot of people on vacation from alaska and i have to tell them all about you and capones adventure and tell them i feel like im with you learning about alaska

[@lainebajanie]

You can get those slippers at Walmart 😁 I got some just like them

[@fatboy54100]

Hey it’s Brad, Love your videos you need to check out the book called mile post you can get it on Amazon and it describes every mile of the Alaskan roadways what’s in front of you what the fishing is doing restaurants hospital Campsites and etc. just got back from Craig Alaska on a fishing trip love it up there we live in Redding California and we’re planning on doing what you’re doing next summer anyway stay safe 🌞The books history goes back to 1949 I think you’ll like it

[@kandycebeeks7056]

For me I’d choose the wooded camp site over the spots off the roads but that’s me the Colorado mountain girl I am lol Stay safe!!!

[@dtohey76]

Hello glad you are doing well I do not see all your fresh uploads but watch as many as I can well is pretty much all of them 😎

[@Hucfinn-zz8dl]

The fee's help maintain the campgrounds ! But boondocking is cool !!!

[@sherrydyne]

Enjoyable video and learned something about wolves!

[@joniloverin7343]

We call those tiny tall tree forests you pass through pecker pole forests LOL ! The permafrost stunts their growth, some get pretty tall but just skinny pecker poles! Thought you might enjoy that little tidbit of info LOL. I so love all the scenery you show us, and you of course! Ha Ha.

[@ritajimmie3361]

Oh wow I like this place. So many trees and hardly anyone there

[@AGirlHerDogAndRV]

I used to live in outside Anchorage... my daughter still lives there so I go up monthly to spend time with her. However, I'm doing something similar to you... I just quit my job and live in a class C and I plan to travel and look for work and continue to try and build my KZbin following. I hope you'll find me, watch, and give me your personal thoughts. TIA!

[@my2cyl]

👍🏻 another awesome video!

[@smallestJustice]

looks warmer sweat shirts in the rain. Godspeed~~~~

[@BeingLifted]

Thank you for something to look forward to after finishing work on budget and grocery shopping! Have a beautiful night, Carolyn!

[@nanaimojack3376]

Great Viewing .. pretty wild ... oh the slippers you were looking at ? Glad you didnt buy them I have two pair .. very hard to get past your ankle and tuff double to try to take off.. feel good once you get them on though. Take Care Carolyn . :-) much love

[@tilliestravelswithlauriean3674]

He was licking his lips when you said he ate your lunch. Funny. Love all the info and history you give. Thanks,I just got my van. Cant wait to get out there.

[@Susan-hx1vr]

So cool, great video

[@patriciamckean4186]

Hate laundry day. Lots of work. Bedding always needs refreshing.

[@problemwithauthority]

The Alaska Highway shirt price at $19.99 was mostly shipping from Honduras.

[@jaysuper8255]

Deadman Lake....I'll put it on my list......

[@chubphucka]

Let me introduce myself - My name is Melvin but all my friends call me "Chub" - I plan to buy a van and live off the grid sometime this year and I plan to share my experiences with you all - My channel now is smokeless tobacco related but I plan to make a NEW channel for my travels - I am a very accomished and respected editor so it should be GREAT! - Hope to see you Carolyn and everyone!

[@highdesertbill]

[@simply4me950]

Would love to go there in an RV or camper van one day!

[@driftinggator47]

Great video. have you desided on your Yukon name yet ?Love the places you find,and the way you put it all together so entertaining. Be safe,friendy.😊

[@Tyler380]

Looking forward to Fairbanks..

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

It seems like you've become very much a loner..love the video..im.always looking at the skies..they are intriguing

[@jimbeaux4988]

Donner and Blitzen on summer vacation.

[@bettywith2girls]

Wow. Almost $19 for a coffee mug? $3.50 per washer load? That definitely is expensive, although the other stuff seemed to be regular price. Yea, around the 20 min. mark on the video, you hold out your hand, and I love how Capone checks it out for treats...oh, no treats, so he quickly continues on! Cute. I love your videos but actually I fast forwarded thru some of the extensive road video...love to see you or Capone more than the road, I guess. Looking forward to the next video...

[@kathymacdonald1186]

Oh my gosh, Carolyn, I camped there in 1996!! Deadmans Lake!

[@LovingAtlanta]

...and about laundromat pricing😳... I was thinking, 🤔as if it were me...😲”whoa that’s a lot of💰...I’m putting the lights in with darks this time....and the clothes are gonna have to flap in the wind to dry while I drive down the highway” 🤣😂🤣

[@wallyjordan5060]

Love small towns and those snowy "hills"!!! Thanks for showing us great places :)

[@adventurebythemile]

Capone on no leash seems scary to me with all the wildlife roaming around. Enjoyable video thou.

[@judycarey9051]

Great video.

[@maribethspence9458]

Awesome video! Pilamaya!

[@mikemead2315]

Great taking us shopping with you. Which camera do you use?

[@mikemead2315]

Flower Child, Thank you for the response. I see a lot of camera gear listed, but I think a lot of it would be too obtrusive while shopping. I wondered if she used her phone or some tiny camera in the stores. And another question I should have asked specifically, did she ask permission? I would not have, because I would not be filming anyone else, but she has much more experience in that area. Thanks again.

[@mikemead2315]

Flower Child, WOW! Very Impressive indeed! Now I need to go back and look for the reflection - and a little bit of kicking myself for future motivation not to miss something like that again. Yes! Very impressive all the way around including case law, which sadly I am not even casually aware of in my readings. I bow to your expertise and awareness.

[@mikemead2315]

Flower Child, much too modest. And I have decided to take your lead and leave my glasses on next time;-)

[@joesrvhome]

That is some beautiful scenery...love your vids...e-beggin...HA!

[@patimccurdy7194]

Awesome share!

[@imyyz4u]

26 minutes long and it was over too quickly. I get bored after 15 min. on most others videos, you left me still wanting more. Good job!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

imyyz4u.. awww. wow. thank you very much!!! Glad you found it interesting!

[@prescotlove1009]

Love the Alaska videos. ♥️

[@MsSoozy]

Capone probably would have attacked those slippers. :P Except for those trophy hunters. Here in BC they were trying to get a law passed that they could shoot the bear while in their dens!!! Gross. Well you got to see your Caribou at least! Yay. Those mountains are amazing, really amazing scenery Carolyn. I have missed your video's. I go through withdrawal if I don't see a new one. Stay safe and true to yourself. Hugs from Victoria, BC

[@bustersmith5569]

MsSoozy shoot them in there dens as they sleep ?? That's sick !!!! MG,
