I know you guys weren’t dog people but when a dog chooses you it speaks volumes about you as a person.

[@OpenRoading]

We will forever remember the moment she stole our chair....and then started to unfold her plan on our hearts. -J

[@tracimoney-honey8545]

I honestly think she is the only reason God had y'all at that gate. You can see a change in J on his stress lowered.

[@weeepsalotts723]

​@tracimoney-honey8545 I agree, and that is why it was cut short. They had enough time to get attached to her but not enough time to give her away. And wow, to get to adopt a stray purebred is wild, definitely a God thing.

[@susanohnhaus611]

When Trinity first showed up all those months ago I thought she looked like a dog who had fairly recently had pups. With her DNA results it makes sense that somebody got her for breeding but for whatever reason didn't want her anymore. She knew what she was doing when she chose you.

[@OpenRoading]

Stealing the chair was just step 1 in her master plan. -J

[@JoanCrabtree-by1gn]

I have watched a lot of RV living videos over the years and I have to say, I enjoy yours the most. You guys seem to keep it real where positivity is combined with reality. I like how you show variety in each video, not just one activity but rather, each video shows things from everyday chores, projects, information, and the area and activities of where you are staying. Also, it says a lot when you can laugh at yourselves. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@ernestinebyrne9912]

Exactly right!

[@OpenRoading]

Kalyn read this to me as we were driving home tonight and it was such an encouragement. Thank you so so much. And it's such incredibly high praise, I don't think Kalyn and I ever imagined that someone would ever say "I enjoy yours the most" about our videos. 🥲 Laughing at ourselves comes pretty naturally - I think it's because we both come from families where humor was every day life AND because we are both keenly aware that we aren't close to perfect and never will be. -J

[@Dead_Oak_Crafts]

Catahoulas were bred to herd cattle. So the fact that she's purebred makes sense, and the fact that you guys found her in Texas makes even more sense. They're great herders.

[@HannahLockwood82]

The finished decal project looks really good! You should definitely put the Open Roading logo on the front.

[@OpenRoading]

Thanks so much! -J

[@urieaaron]

I just realized I mainly watch your videos because I am a fan of Trinity and you all because you adopted her.

[@OpenRoading]

Haha! We are aware that Trinity has her own fan club and we are the supporting actors. 😂 -J

Trinity was a gift from God she needed you guys and you were available! Congratulations ❤

[@OpenRoading]

She has been an immense blessing! -J

[@colibridodgen3749]

There's an insane amount of dogs dumped around Floresville. I ran across y'alls videos by accident when you found her. I cried and prayed you could give her a loving family environment. Thank you from Floresville. Your kindness changed lives.

[@OpenRoading]

We had at least 2 others roam through our area while we were there. It's been hard because you can't make a difference in every life - but you can make a difference in at least one. Trinity has been an incredible blessing to our family. So many smiles from her every day - including today when I excitedly pointed out an eagle to Kalyn and Trin got excited doing some low "huffing" with eyes peeled outside knowing that she should be excited about something...but not sure what. She just wanted to be part of the fun 😁 -J

[@theresafaust5690]

I know y’all can’t remember all responses, but I was the one that told y’all that when you named Trinity that my Trinity always perked up and her ears popped up every time you said the name, Trinity . My Trinity is a brindle Catahoula. Yea! Cousins 😂😂❤️🐾🐾❤️

[@OpenRoading]

That's so awesome! 🤩 -J

[@dennislautner8709]

Trinity is soooo cool. I would have cried for a week if you had not taken her in. She adopted you!

[@OpenRoading]

To be honest...Kalyn would have too. And now I personally can't imagine life without her....(although...if you follow us on Instagram you can see in tonights stories that...well...she's giving us a run for our money. 😂 If you don't have IG no worries... it will be fully featured in a video in a few weeks.) -J

[@sweetsanpete]

I’ve never used “OMG” in my life … until now 😊. Like you, we full time in our fifth wheel. Driving through Valley of the Gods is amazing … but you missed the best times to be there. First light, sunset, and well after dark. It’s our favorite place to camp. 3 separate times we’ve boondocked in Valley of the Gods. The last time was in our 37’ fifth wheel. Pure silence at the 3 aforementioned times. And much like the Grand Canyon the colors in the landscape change. It’s pure magic. If there is a next time, camp in Valley of the Gods. Love you guys! Hope to see you on the road one of these days!

[@OpenRoading]

Awesome! Yeah, We didn't know anything about Valley of the Gods until we drove through it (which was like a day or two before we were leaving the area!) Question - was dust an issue when you camped there? I was thinking camping there would be awesome but I could see with all the traffic just getting dusted out daily. Maybe some spots are better than others? -J

[@sweetsanpete]

I’d forgotten about the dust - at times it was an issue but the wind always came from the west when it did rise up, and most of the camping spots are on the west side of the road. It truly was a small price to pay for the positives of Valley of the Gods.

[@OpenRoading]

@@sweetsanpete Thanks for that review! We may give that a go next time we're in that area! -J

I really expected a little blowback. Kinda happy there has been none. We'll see if that stays true after the next video when it actually gets done. 🙂 -J

[@ernestinebyrne9912]

It is beautiful! You must put the logo on it! Yes. Wow, I have a fear of heights and my body immediately pulled back from the edge, your photography was so good. And you made me chuckle at your pronunciation of butte which you quickly corrected. It reminded me of a story my sister told me. She was working in a phone job and had to verify sales that were made. She would call the customers back. She called a gentleman in Montana up and asking him if he pronounced his city but or but-A. Gorgeous shots. Wow. What a blessing to see all of that and to let us live vicariously through you. Thank you! What a surprise for you about Trinity. Well we knew she had a pure heart.

[@OpenRoading]

But or But-a 😂😂😂 So close....and yet so far. 😂 Not sure how "honest" of a mistake it was though on my part. 😂 More trying to get a reaction from Kalyn. lol. So I have to ask - I worked with a Teddy Byrne in Fort Myers FL back in 2014. It would be a small world if he was related to you. -J

[@ernestinebyrne9912]

@@OpenRoading don’t know. His brother Bill lives in St. Pete. His son’s name is Josh. The odd thing is that my husband’s family lived far away from their families and they never got to know any of them. Unlike me where all my family was in the same general area in Iowa, Missouri, Illinois. All within 100 miles or less. So my gut feeling is he probably has cousins floating around that he doesn’t know about. Me, I’m in touch with all my first cousins and several first cousins once removed and second cousins. So odd for me when others aren’t.

Open roading on the front. It's your name and a good name for a camper. Hope the paint holds up. Wow for Trinity!

I am curious how long the paint will last. We are committing to putting a UV protectant on it every month (something we should have been doing all along) so I think that will help. We've also got a couple of extra cans so that we can repair chips and scratches. -J

[@debraslagle8907]

Your logo on the front, but add KZbin underneath so people know where to find you. I noticed Timmy on Truck House Life has done that, and he has 400K+ subscribers. Trinity’s breed is a great breed. Herders and very loyal. A favorite of cowboys. What a blessing for you all and her!

One small observation when you were leaving Gooseneck State Park (I might be mistaken) as you backed out of the parking spot it seems like you went into drive while still rolling backwards. I cringe when I see that because it’s bad for the transmission eventually. My wife did that to my car yesterday and I’m thinking of gently letting her know.

Your drone footage was spectacular!! AMAZING views!! You both did a beautiful job on the painting of the "decals". I vote for the Open Road sign on the front of the RV. I was super shocked that Trinity is a catahoula. I had a merle catahoula, and I was surprised to see them in the Rot coloration. They have a pretty strong hunting instinct. You are going to be so happy when she is spayed. No spotting in the house and no fear of letting her be around male dogs. Win, win!

[@OpenRoading]

It's funny...We see the hunting instinct...but pretty much only with birds. Birds trigger something in her but so far she's been amazing with Cody. We of course are going to keep our eyes on that and continue to work with her but so far I do think for a Catahoula she is pretty chill. (Which I am eternally grateful for!) -J

[@GypsyheartOneLoVE]

@OpenRoading Some hunting breeds don't have a strong urge to hunt. Probably why she was dumped. But a win for you guys and for her. She just wants to continue to live as a princess and continue to rule the couch.

[@laurataylor999]

Oh wow! Catahoula! I didn’t see that coming and I’m usually super good at guessing mixes but I think I’ve only seen the merle colors on Catahoula’s and had no idea they came in a black tri type color. She’s an absolutely wonderful dog, I’ll say that for her. I watch lots of KZbin videos on RV life and yours are my favorite by far. I always look forward to your new posts. Oh and as far as the Open Roading logo, I vote for putting it on the front of the RV. I think the logo is super classy. One last thing, great drone work Joseph!

[@OpenRoading]

Thank you and your vote has been noted! 😁 -J

We went to Sedona for the day. We were camping at a state park near by, Very beautiful. Be watchful of the incognito timeshare ploys to get you a small discount on off roading in exchange for 4 to 6 hour timeshare presentation 😮

[@OpenRoading]

Yeah...Not interested in sitting through a speech for anything. 😁 I think I've gotten to the age where when I realize what's happening I have no issue just walking away. -J

[@dangreene9632]

Put the logo on the front! It will be the finishing touch. Great job on the sides! looks great!!!!

[@OpenRoading]

Thank so much! -J

Trinity is such a cute dog. You two are so lucky to have found her. What a perfect addition to your family. Having her break out of the screen door to be with you, just shows how much she has bonded with you and can’t bear to be a part from you.

[@OpenRoading]

We are indeed lucky to have her be part of the family! She's full of surprises. -J

Put your logo on the front! Your camper didn't turn over in the wind because you have the heavy duty high quality that Jayco was in that era of camper. Your camper is of really good quality and is doing good work for you guys. Great video! Ya'll keep getting better and better.

[@OpenRoading]

Yeah! She's gone through some heavy duty winds in Texas! She's a beast for sure! Thanks for the compliments!! -J

[@BigBearVans-z7o]

Trinity is sooooo cute! I think she was possibly dumped bc she had puppies and the "abusers" didn't need her anymore :( But now she has her loving forever home!!

[@OpenRoading]

Yeah. We are pretty sure she was dumped based on circumstances. -J

[@Bunny-cz5wo]

BEAUTIFUL !!!!!! Guys great job 🎉

[@OpenRoading]

Thanks so much! -J

[@joanjackson9374]

Love your dog! Interesting DNA results too. So glad she doesn’t have to have more litters.

[@OpenRoading]

She's officially done with litters! -J

[@KAW5]

Great video! Really enjoy watching you guys! RV looks awesome! Nice job! Great drone footage! Yeah! Trinity! ❤

[@OpenRoading]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and be part of the comments section each week! It's so encouraging to see people coming back! -J

[@ravenlunatic7026]

Hooray for Trinity!

[@OpenRoading]

Such a sweet pup. _J

Crazy how much changes in a decade. Accidentally stumbled upon gooseneck about a decade ago when it was just a dirt lot, a few picnic tables, and maybe a pit toilet? Spent a few hours there, it was the beginning of June and only saw two other cars of people. Wasn’t yet a state park and they weren’t charging people… if I had to guess, the same thing is coming for the valley of the gods. Surprised it’s not some form of paid to enter park… Get out and see them pretty places before it costs money to see!!!

[@OpenRoading]

Yes - Things are always in a state of fluctuation in one direction or another. -J

[@debbieschmidt9316]

Put your logo on your home! It’s a nice clean logo. Maybe you can even glitter up the location marker, like those cool T-shirts!

[@OpenRoading]

Hahaha! I'll have to see what Courtney and Megan can do! -J

[@SmokyOwl]

I went through a dust storm in upper Texas for a bit, they were spread out a bit so it wasn't as bad as what you went through. But it was a bit different on my motorcycle lol. If you head for colorado, might want to hit up Mount Evans if you're in the area, similar to Pikes Peak but without the tourist stuff, but there is a phone number you need to call in advance and set an arrival time. Best experience I've had on my bike, even going back down in the rain!

[@OpenRoading]

Oh man! Dust storm on a motorcycle....I think I'd be done. lol. Mount Evans! Noted - thank you! -J

[@nancywidger7179]

I stayed up way past my bed time to watch you guys. Love it all!!

[@OpenRoading]

Very good reason. 🙂 -J

[@SackPephirom]

The decals looks awesome! Great job!!

[@OpenRoading]

Thanks so much! -J

The sandstorm reminds me of home (West Texas) but I don't miss them at all. The RV looks great! I vote for the logo on the front if budget allows. I was literally backing up in my office chair when you were on the edge of the canyon in Goosenecks State Park. Yikes! Loved seeing it and Valley of the Gods especially with the drone views! But the best part was Trinity's results. Your faces!! 😂It has fueled our fire to get our new granddog's DNA done. She looks exactly like a black mouth cur. But we love her no matter what she is.

[@OpenRoading]

Oh I'm familiar with your sand storms in west Texas... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp7dkmyfrJatqdEsi=fqaziCkFNpqYCijL Ya'll don't play around with your wind there! 😁 With the DNA I recommend not submitting a photo. It just helps your peace of mind when the results come back if the DNA is describing your dog and they never had a photo. 🙂 That's what we did and we had a handful of comments telling us we couldn't trust the results and I was like "Well....the DNA results described her including tan points and colors of fur....so.... I'm pretty confident they are pretty close!" -J

[@dianesilverstein6475]

The rv looks fantastic!! Great job. Love your energy and ambition! I vote 1000% that your logo should go on front! Catahoula!! Trin is a beauty & very special!! Safe travels!

[@OpenRoading]

She is indeed special in all the best of ways. -J

[@bookooc5605]

I started following you guys when you took in Trinity. You guys are so refreshing, compared to other RV channels that just try to sell me something, and get everything for free, have multiple properties, kids in very expensive private schools, get free RVs and trips to NYC. You know the type. Keep up the good work!

[@OpenRoading]

I understand this - I do want to stop and ask you though? Does an RV channel with a single ad in their video bother you? (I’ll give the Hanks as an example - they often pitch a mattress and some people seem to be very put off by that) if so I want to challenge you - what should KZbinrs get paid for the full time effort they put into providing entertainment for their audience? At the moment we have been working KZbin as a full time job now for 10 months. For all that effort if I average everything out I have earned $11.00 an hour and I’m not including any of the time Kalyn has spent which is also equivalent to a part time job. When you see a channel getting a sponsor - they are getting paid, by someone else, to provide you with entertainment. No one is forcing you to buy anything just like when you watch TV and the show uses product placement no one is forcing you to buy that product. If they get something for free that is a business valuing their content and saying “hey - we like what you do and how you do it can we work together to get you something you want or need and at the same time get our brand out there?” I hope this reply comes across how I intend which is simply to give those other channels a little more grace in understanding that this is a lot of work and they are just striving to be paid for their work. Now if all a channel does is pitch you products and provides zero entertainment value whatsoever…then there are plenty of channels out there that provide a better balance! -J

[@pupcamper58]

Wow what a shocker. Trinity, Catahoula. I believe if I recall, right, I did guess that she may have some sort of hound in her lol. Well, it doesn’t matter because she’s a sweetheart no matter what. The RV looks gorgeous with the new stripes. Y’all did an awesome job.❤

[@OpenRoading]

COMPLETE shocker. And I do think you said she had some hound! -J

[@jayner3981]

Decals looks great!!! My vote would b the Open Road logo on the front of the trailer.

[@OpenRoading]

Thank you! -J
