ℹ️ About this episode:
In this weeks video, we leave Spearfish and make our way to see Michelle’s mother who is now in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This trip reminded us of one of the most exciting things about traveling: no matter where we go, there are always historic sites or hidden gems with fascinating stories along the way. This journey was no different, as we came across some fascinating spots along the way. Our first stop is a quick pass through Sturgis during the rally to see what all the buzz is about. You won't want to miss this episode filled with plenty of laughs, intriguing places, and, of course, some delicious pie!

Dignity is on my bucket list. I was so excited to see you visiting her, especially at night! Thank you for your fun and interesting videos. ❤

[@sallychampagne3693]

Prayers for your Mother, Michelle.

[@1206jl]

This is GREAT!!!! Now I know what I look like when my wife is about to drive!!!! Can’t stop laughing!!!!

[@LivinRVision]

[@karenhoch7533]

We just got home from a 4 month trip with our class c motor home. We stayed at Love’s many times and never got the full hookup for less than $48/nt, with senior discount. Always an enjoyable stay!

[@RVenturesToday-bu6js]

We have been following you guys, just don't comment, but we must say Brian, you really had us laughing when Michelle went to take the wheel. You guys are super fun and awesome. Prayers for Michelles mom. 🙏

[@sheryldye4259]

Michelle looked so sad and tired, hope all is well with her mother because you were in a hurry to see her. Enjoyed the Green Giant statue.

[@jennykinas3023]

I'm glad you are getting to see Michelle's mom, that's wonderful. That's cool you went through Sturgis too! My husband and I went once and camped at Buffalo Chip for the week. It was beautiful riding the Harley out there, through Spearfish Canyon and to Mount Rushmore, etc. And yes, as Michelle thought, behind the scenes is where it's at! We had a blast!!

[@wimpees3]

you guys cracked me up when she was getting ready to drive...LOL!

[@danettehead7353]

Oh, you two 😅 Brian, you had me laughing so hard I had tears 🤣🤣 you both are so much fun to watch. I love your videos 👍👍👍👍❤

[@doofhund3526]

Hope Michelle’s mom is okay. The Dignity of Earth and sky sculpture was beautiful.

[@rvcruising]

If you’re back in Mitchell sometime, the Corn Palace is another one of those roadside must-see stops.

[@Banagal]

Good morning! I hope your mom is ok and you both enjoy your visit. Thanks for the drive-through tours. Oh yes, indeed, that pie looked yummy!

[@QuiltGeek]

So nice to see Dignity!! One of my very favorite attractions. Being a quilter makes it even more special.

[@kathycampbell8000]

Michelle I’m sorry your mom is having some health problems, I hope she is doing better now. I told my husband that we were going to go to sturgis just once to see how it is. He’s face was about like Michelle’s…. He wasn’t to interested 😂😂. Both of those statues I’ve wanted to see too, hopefully soon 😁 Michelle I just want you to know that Brian had a lot of that pie!!! 😂😂. Safe travels!! Michelle I’ll be praying for your mom 🙏. See ya soon 😁

[@bettyhurd7033]

We saw Dignity of Earth and Sky during the day and she was amazing. To see her at night was just as amazing.

[@carolmcdaniel7693]

Thanks for the tour of Sturgis! We'll probably never get there. That pie looked yummy! Safe travels and see you in a few weeks ❤❤❤❤

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Oh my goodness you guys are super funny, love the quick Whit responses but still very loving The history of places is informative Prayers for you both and your Loved ones❤

Baby green giant. It fits! 😅 that's hilarious. You guys are awesome.

[@HallelujahTravelers]

Haha love Michelle… sometimes even at Walmart 😂

[@TeenaFaucette]

Thanks for sharing places most of us will never see! Hope Michelle’s Mom was doing well.

[@nancypatrick51]

OMG--your facial expressions are the BEST! You had us both laughing. I had tears in my eyes laughing so much as you're waiting to take off again. And the "why are we not moving??" LOVE you both! Want to visit the Dignity of Earth & Sky. Beautiful at night. Hope Michelle's mom is getting better and that some of Michelle's stress is lifted by being there in person.

[@barbaragrazerrobinson1207]

Your mom is in my prayers. Safe travels. Always enjoy your videos

[@tammydayfl]

Great video. Very interesting seeing Sturgis as well as the other places. I hope to be traveling that direction next year sometime. Thanks for sharing your route with us.😊

[@Tom.and.Missy.Northam]

Great video !! Have a great time on the cruise !!

Thanks for driving through Sturgis. I always wondered what it looked like. I'm praying for Michelle's mom.

[@vince8705]

Smooth Perfect Outcome for you and Mom. ❤

[@grillinandchillinwithdeb]

Sturgis was a bucket list item for us when we had our bike, unfortunately we sold it a few years ago and never got the chance. Thanks for the tour❤be safe

[@brucegustafson6943]

Sending good thoughts to Michelle’s Mom 🙏🏻

[@patk7942]

Love your videos. I have gone to two of the places you guys have been because you made the places sound so interesting. (Helen Ga. and St. Augustine) I enjoyed both places and actually was able to stay a week in each place. I hope to go to Biltmore House one day soon. Thank you for showing places that help inspire me to travel to see them for myself when I can. Praying for Michelle's mom 🙏. Bless you both.

[@teresasprouse1097]

Been to sturgis Talley twice and loved it all!

[@randallday7737]

Brian, you strike me as more Harold in the purple crayon😂

[@LivinRVision]

Guess I’ll have to try watching that sometime 😂

[@FindersKeepersByJAM]

I enjoy your videos and look forward to your advice and adventures.

[@marthaqueen73]

If you ever go back to Sturgis, go to the motorcycle museum. Was there several years ago. I found it very interesting.

[@marilyncosby7106]

I always enjoy your pie reviews! Pie is my favorite dessert... almost any kind is fine on my plate, but I only have it maybe 4 times a year. It’s a self-discipline thing. Love your vids! Keep up the interesting content!

[@mikeweis5925]

So sorry you were not able to take the time to sit and watch the bikers. I’m not a biker but we’ve been in SD during Sturgis. The traffic is crazy. But I understand the urgency of getting back home.

[@RhondaD68]

We stayed in Spearfish in 2021 and I worked remotely. We loved the bike trails and hiking. So much to do there. We stopped at the Chamberlain rest stop too. Love your videos. Hope your mom is okay Michelle.

[@T4T556]

Blue Earth, MN is so much fun. They have “Sprout” statues all over town with different themes. We spent a few enjoyable hours taking photos of them.

[@josephrobichaud5198]

As always a Vantastic video ! :)

[@mikem.1220]

I hope Mom is doing well.

[@fayj1016]

We can't wait for the Alaska Cruise! We have been binge watching KZbin on all the tips & tricks. Plus, the ports will be going to. Prayers for your mom, Michelle.

[@danielford3636]

Remember when Michelle would follow your Vinny RV

[@LivinRVision]

Yes but that was a very brief period, about a few weeks, when we sold the dolly and while we trying to sell the motorhome.

[@christieflesch3750]

Sounds fun❤❤

[@peteacevedo3411]

We enjoyed your recent video and the part in Stegis was crazy. We have been but not when the cycles are there. A different town for sure. We hope your Mom is ok saying a prayer for her and you guys while you’re there.

[@marshashannon2330]

Enjoyed your video. We drove through Sturgis but not during bike week-big difference-all the tents and people. We stayed in Elkhorn Ridge RV Resort both times we went through Spearfish but will look into your campground for our next visit. Always enjoy Michelle’s pie reviews and had to laugh when you had a few bites. 😂 Sending Well Wishes for Michelle’s mom. Thanks for your great videos.

[@dbeut3044]

Thanks for the snap shot of Sturgis.. like you, i always wondered. thought they'd be more people!

[@LivinRVision]

I’m sure there are lots more people than what we filmed that attend throughout the entire rally. It was just starting when we drove through.

[@carolynknisely2383]

Great video!! What did uou have to do to become a travel agent? Thanks!!😊

[@LivinRVision]

All we can say is, it’s tough to decide which route to go as a travel agent.

[@garythovson2587]

You would not believe what goes on behind the scenes in Sturgis, you have to go to the campgrounds at night for a real show! You missed the Badlands and Wall. We have not done the corn palace in Mitchell in a long time. Hope you had a nice visit with Mom, and all is well. See you soon! GO Hawks beat state! 😎🥸🤓🛳️🏈

[@LivinRVision]

We’ve already been to Badlands and Wall years prior. Go Hawks! See you guys soon!!

[@carrieclark1604]

I'm so sorry, but we're the worst at liking and commenting on your videos. We watch them every week, but on our tv. We aren't good about logging on to like and comment via phone or pc. But we do watch them weekly, like clockwork! We love your videos!!!

[@josephrobichaud5198]

What cool name for a town.

[@craftyclarke2514]

LOL "Cue the music..." Brian, it is the theme music for Jeopardy that you insert when waiting on someone. lol TFS Sturgis~ Never been. I know it was early in the day, but it looked dif than I imagined. Plus... Bobby wanted to know why you didn't show any of those "questionable girls." LOL Looking forward to that cruise!!!

[@LivinRVision]

😂 Well… Bobby… after you get slapped enough times, it starts to sink in. 😉

Next time by Chamberlain stop at the Akta Lakota Museum & Cultural Center. It's a small museum but with great displays of treasured items including a period Bison skin depicticting the Little Big Horn massacre. Excellent stop.

[@jamestreanor182]

Do you ask Loves if you can sleep? We too often stay 12-14 hours at rest areas. Our Coleman Mach would have used nearly a 10kwh (leaving our Volta around 20% and time to move) in similar time…we need an AC upgrade

[@LivinRVision]

Yes, we call first

[@sheilacaine]

❤❤❤

[@grizztough4091]

Curious on your perspective, while your on the road and on the move do you ever feel the calling to just be stationary, home based and anchored day to day? If you di leave the road to become home based and stationary, would you then constantly feel the call of the road to just be on the move? I can see the benefits of both.

[@LivinRVision]

When we get overwhelmed with workload we sometimes feel that way, otherwise we realize we are blessed to live this lifestyle.

[@josephrobichaud5198]

You're so lucky that she does not mind driving, it gets old not being able to relax and not getting to look around and enjoy the drive.

Which ship for the Alaska cruise?

What is the name of the campground you stayed in? It looked really nice. Hope your mom is doing well. We love your videos.

[@LivinRVision]

Thank you! It was Spearfish City Park campground.

Hey Brian, is the strada ion you and Michele are in now a 2025 ?

Hi Randy, it’s a 2024 Strada-ion, 2023 Sprinter

I was surprised you didn't stop for some gluten-free pizza and coconut cream pie and wash it all down with a BudLight😊

😂

[@brucelester6918]

If you were to buy your own Sprinter van, would you get a 170 or 144?

[@LivinRVision]

Probably the 170 for us over the 144, but it would depend on your intended use.

[@tanya334]

Apparently, Sturgis wasn't that insane as usual 😊 I wonder why 😂😂

[@LivinRVision]

It was early into the rally. 🤪

[@cjpwrs8263]

It revs up at night!
