[@MortonsontheMove]

This video was shot over the third week of May 2019. For those interested in a tour of the Lance we did a live video on Lances FB page that you can see here - www.mortonsonthemove.com/travelblog/tour-of-the-lance-1172-truck-camper

[@WedartStudio]

Thank you very much!👍🌍🌐

[@lynnkrencik3329]

I’ve just discovered your wonderful videos. Can’t thank you both enough. Trapped at home because of resurgence of COVID-19 in our area. Watching these videos is so freeing, I’m not stuck in Michigan but am on a great adventure with the two of you. Thank you! Thank you!

[@MortonsontheMove]

So glad you are enjoying it!

[@yogamaster3206]

Wow! I've watched tons of nature travel videos, but this is among the best of the best. What is done incredibly well with the Go North series (and I watched the entire series in one sitting!) is that it was filmed by "amateurs" so does not have the "scripted" feel of a commercial production with staged acting, but still has all the qualities of a high end film. A masterpiece.

[@RonKelm]

One of my favorite sections of the Alaska highway. My son lived in Fairbanks for seven years and I traveled up there every summer and stayed three months. I always stopped and stayed the night at Summit Lake in its beautiful campground. I have also ridden up to Deadhorse, AK on motorcycles twice and always stopped at Laird Hot Springs to soak after a day of riding. Enjoying your adventures and wish you many more.

[@garygrow8373]

For 20 minutes, I watched and forgot about everything else in my world. What a great video, great narration, and just the right amount of talk without annoying music. Thanks!

[@robertorion6559]

Such a great video. Such a great series. Thanks for showing this trip in such wonderful detail.

[@auroranite]

More enjoyment coupled with a pleasing soundtrack. Sights incredible. Lucky Couple👍

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

BREATHTAKING VIEWS & COLORS & VIDEO ! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TAG ALONG WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY !

[@RVgeeks]

Your films just keep getting more and more amazing. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@MortonsontheMove]

Thanks guys!

[@Rvlove]

Another fabulous episode! We are loving the series and especially seeing you all look so well, happy and healthy. The scenery is incredible and we love the narration and education. We're also incredibly impressed by how you're managing to drive so far, see and do so much, capture it all and put out these videos so frequently at the level of quality you do. We know how much work it takes. Can't wait for the next one! Miss you guys. Love n hugs Julie and Marc xo

[@kimberlyscabiniowa1199]

Discovered your channel today with a you tube suggestion to watch them! I had to subscribe as they are wonderful! I always dreamed of visiting Alaska but in my old age, the odds of fulfilling that bucket list item is dimming. VIA YOU, I am able to see places that I never dreamed of. Your camera action is spectacular and shows a lot of love in the editing. That love of course stems from your relationship and care for each other. Just love what you are doing and thank you for sharing it all!

[@toddramsay977]

You have a 4x4 dually truck camper. The motto is Go Anywhere, Camp Anywhere, Tow Anything. That is why I love truck camping. Where ever that truck can take y'all, go camping. Don't be afraid to push that truck. Slow and steady is the key.

[@1sailmike]

What an awesome video! The Alaskan Highway from Fort Nelson to Watson Lake is one of the most beautiful highways I've ever driven. The Dempster Highway is right up there in my top ten list alongside the Alaskan Highway. Just wish I thought to stop for those cinnamon buns! I'm one of the 100,000 people who posted signs at the Signpost Forest, so I'll be back there someday to see my sign again. I'll be sure to stop for cinnamon buns! Thanks for posting this video! It sure brought back memories!

[@angelabarabas1659]

Best videos on alaska

[@gatorickc1274]

Most amazing videography and editing of any YT channel that I have watched. Especially liked the hot springs segment, great music in that one. Looking forward to more! Be safe and God bless.

[@WedartStudio]

A great series ! Drone shots are amazing! Safe travels to you !😊🌐🌐😊

[@TrainLordJC]

Thanks for bringing back many memories of the Alcan Highway. As a Dutch/Australian I bought a 1969 VW campervan in San Francisco and drove it up to Alaska on that highway in 1988 when much of that road north of Fort Nelson was still muddy and temporary bridges were in place. Liard Hot Springs was incredible but also more rustic back then. After travelling all the roads of Alaska and going on the Dempster Highway all the way to Inuvik I turned around and drove that VW all the way to the bottom of South America through the Amazon and the amazing Andes Mountains and crossing over to do all of Europe only to have my van stolen in Seville Spain after enjoying three years of wonderful freedom and adventure. I had no insurance. Lost all except the memories! BTW I like your rig. Looks perfect for Alaska. I just subscribed to your channel and please do the same. Cheers from the Train Lord in South Australia

[@FactChecker71]

How'd you get the VW around the impassible corridor between central america and Venezuela?

[@frawldog]

Watched whole series today. Great

[@DoesSizeMatter]

OMG guys! We loved it, our hearts are swollen watching this. Remember we told you about our pre-wedding wedding? You were filming right where it happened on top of the mountain. Thank you for showing it all just the way we see it and love it. Cold Muncho Lake and Hot Liard Hotsprings, both beautiful places. We are loving your videography, so many great shots. Keep up the good work and enjoy yourselves.

[@MortonsontheMove]

Aww thanks guys! We now understand what you were talking about and why you loved it so :) Hope your having a great summer!

[@szabo50]

The best production values of any similar travel blog I've seen.Ring that bell.Something to binge watch when time permits.

[@edwardint]

Fort Nelson is my home town and I'm looking forward to going home for a visit this year. I'm glad you got to show the beauty of the north to everyone. Not many people get to see it the way its meant to be seen.

[@anitabackroadsonly9086]

I like the way you show your routes on the map.

[@Chris_guy95]

You guys have the best channel. I can spend the whole day watching your videos. Especially when you're in quarantaine 😂 Amazing ♥ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ keep them coming

[@janicevoss864]

Great video!! Thanks for sharing I know you might get tired of hearing this, but it is all so beautiful!! Totally jealous of your trip. Stay safe and have a great time 🇺🇸😊💕

[@CCB249]

Wow! Just Wow! I want to do your exact trip. Thank you for sharing! Wow! Awesome.

[@calliecutiepie]

The scenery is just stunning! What an incredible journey. I look forward to seeing your videos, they're just lovely. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@remitremblay2091]

Wow indeed. Dreaming all the way with you! So much information and facts about your trip will make a lot of people want to go! Go MM!

[@fberger54]

Wanderlust, thanks guys for the time you put into these videos. I'm overwhelmed with the sights and sounds you share with us each episode.

[@cindyrose5414]

WOW! Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you.

[@blerickson88]

Love seeing the areas that humans don't much visit! So remote and have enjoyed being there through your eyes.

[@carrtrek]

enjoyed watching your videos, especially the Dempster, top of the world highway, snowfields parkway. we did these back in 1995 in a GM truck, bought for $1200 canadian, with a fibreglass canopy, and a 2 inch thick foam mattress. Great travels, then in 1997 we drove up to Yellowknifie, same truck. used it in 1999, and 2005 and 2007. Our friend looked after it for us when we were home in New Zealand

[@nevarimel]

Another beautiful video

[@candacerivero]

WOW! This is an EPIC trip to say the least. Everytime I see your videos, I think - could I? I sure want to ....

[@RaffCapp]

This is movie making at its best. Thank you for bringing us along!

[@larryhetzer7475]

Love your style! Thanks for showing Lance Life at its best. Camp in remote places with comfort. We Enjoy the North West living in Washington and use fire road access into the mountains.

[@robertrogish1038]

Professional !!! Not only that but so amazing and interesting too. I can't imagine anyone giving this thumbs down.

[@BobtheTraveler-WD8NVN]

Excellent Video.. It is every American's duty to visit Alaska !!

[@gagrinsoni]

Amazing views and experience. Great job!! I have been watching your videos all day!!!

[@MortonsontheMove]

Thank you! :)

[@howesknifeshop]

A great series for sure! Your narration, hand held videos and drone shots are amazing! Safe travels to you both!

[@robertdonnelly434]

MANY thanks for the ride!! Envy is far too small a word to describe how much I wish I could be there. AND, if you were not already aware, that mineral rich "glacial flour" you mentioned is also the reason for the unique blue colouring of so many mountain lakes and rivers; the sun's reflection (and refraction I suppose) off the minerals produce that stunning one-only colour. Sincere cheers from here!!

[@joyeyoder4783]

I love the fact that you are filming some more remote areas. What beautiful scenery. Can't wait for the next installment. ;-)

[@rwksummit]

Absolutely awesome

[@hrbeta]

Outstanding job guys, outstanding!

[@bobshaw4063]

WOW what a great vlog . Love the detailed narration . The scenery is breathtaking . Thanks for taking me along on your adventures .

[@jodymooney255]

Incredible footage! The hot springs will go on my bucket list!

[@edframbes5296]

Thank You, for sharing your experiences!

[@jeromejanisch6141]

i watched number 8 or 9 first(the raccoons) i have gone back to first and now at early 8, i love your dogs , Bella for her intelligence and Mocha fr her adventure. i love what you guys are doing, water skiing, snow skiing, hiking .... i love everything you been doing.. great job!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeromejanisch6141]

ep 9 is the first one i watched

[@anniegogogone1806]

Wow this series is just amazing. I can’t wait for the next episode.

[@robinrutschman]

Your encounter with the pesky porcupines got me thinking. The next time you are in a town visit the hardware store and get yourself some Bear Spray. Basically it is pepper spray in a large container. That will teach them critters who is BOSS! Love your videos, please keep them coming!

[@wcarlhepker4806]

I am so used to seeing you in a fifth wheel that it is interesting to see you in a 4X4 truck camper. I hope you locked your bikes to a tree or a leg of the sign or something when you went on the hike. It would be a bummer to come back and find somebody had helped themselves to your bikes. I just love staying overnight along a creek, brook, or water I can hear outside the RV. That is especially great in the morning as I awaken to such a soothing sound. I can’t believe they power that microwave relay station with a generator these days. A solar array and some lithium phosphate batteries in an electrically heated box would be much less maintenance and refueling. Can you imagine driving that road in a tanker truck loaded with fuel and motor oil in the winter? What spectacular views as you left the tower and showed us the scenery!! At 17:49, what is the display showing 20.5 degrees on the left, apparently the time of 10:43 towards the middle, then 18 degrees beside that, and then 20.0 degrees on the right? I doubt it is three sensors voting on the outside temperature in Celsius. If it is a TPMS, then only half the tire temperatures and no pressures are shown. You got me scratching my head! Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed it! I hope the rest of the trip is as rewarding as this appears to be!

[@MortonsontheMove]

Thanks, yes we locked the bikes up :) The temps in the truck are the driver and passanger temps then the outside in the middle.

[@TeachandTugTravels]

We have always loved your videos. But you are really making some totally awesome videos of your Alaska trip. Keep them coming. We drove our Class A to Alaska from Tennessee in 2017 and are going back next next. Every Video you produce shows me more and more things we didn’t see last time so I making a list. Thank you thank you thank you for the great video

[@steveharkins279]

Now you are starting to get out there. So much more modernized since I was there. Thanks for the ride.

[@AdventurousWay]

Another great video! Love the detailed narration. Can't wait to go to Canada and Alaska.

[@rickcolston2091]

Brings back many memories...travel safe.

[@safeharbor7]

Beautiful video, thumbs up...

[@katzlife_beyond50]

Phenomenal! Loving this series 😍

[@grandrapids]

Great videos, great production, great eyes for beauty. I want to take this trip.

[@msemmahale4608]

Cinnabon is a brand name. Cinnamon bun or cinnamon roll is the word your looking for, Tom. Cheers!!

[@MortonsontheMove]

Ha! I didnt mean to say that ;/

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

I hear people call Cinnamon buns “Cinnabon” also... but these ones (including many homemade ones) are waaaaayyyy better than those ones drowned in icing to cover up any taste.

[@jamisonallen8710]

I heard cinna bun..

[@amberheywood2603]

I'm waiting for the cease and desist letter LOL.

[@71kimberwolf]

Made these stops during a 3 week trip focused mainly on the Yukon with a bumper pull. Good memories and e talked about a truck camper being perfect for a more extended trip!

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Such beautiful & minimally disturbed area of N. America. In the early 1970’s Dad drove us a short distance up the Alaskan Highway past Dawson Creek & the road had so many hairpin turns! He said he had helped build it during the war...I don’t know what he did, he was a mechanic in the RCAF, I suppose Aircraft or their mechanics were needed for it. Thanks for the amazing footage!

[@easysailer1318]

Best video I have seen on Alaska, makes me want go.

[@terrimccain9697]

Looking forward to all of your videos

[@ColinJ388]

Going up the Alaska highway is my bucket list vacation.

[@ScottBaker1]

love seeing more of the puppers :)

[@1man1woman65]

Great video! Have fun and be careful.

[@davidbruce5377]

Love it!!

[@dwaynenelson7957]

Awesome filming! I am re-living our 2016 RV trip to Alaska. It is great to see some of the things we missed along the way.

[@MangoMike316]

Boy you two are lucky!!!

[@darioushbromand2829]

Amazing and relaxing Loved the background music

[@EdFertik]

Great video. I've shared.

[@dianabalto]

Awesome trip keep it going ! Thank You.

[@tomcondon6169]

Great film y'all! The minerals intrigue me, but I'm too exhausted to relate my thoughts.

[@RVingwiththeMoracas]

As usual very interesting with beautiful photography.

[@Thomas-qk7wf]

Some excellent photography in this video.

[@MortonsontheMove]

Thanks!

[@raymondschneider5217]

Tom and Caitlin, another great production; the background music really adds a lot to the film. A truly fine job of filming, narration and background music to support the film; ya just gotta enjoy it! I was surprised to see the woodland bison (?); didn't know they were up in that neck of the woods. I can appreciate the cold water, as I did some "light" white water rafting in the Sacramento, CA area several years back; yeah, it was snow melt and C-O-L--D -- feet and legs were numb! Y'all Be Safe!

[@MortonsontheMove]

Thanks Raymond! We were surprised by the bison as well! Had no idea there were native herds up here!

[@mmbbq]

Great video 👍 look forward to the next one ,stay safe and have fun for all of us

[@johnbrown7312]

Another great video, I have driven that road a few times over the years both for work and play. Canada's northern territories, the Yukon, the North West Territories and Nunavut, although having many similar structures to the Provinces are still called Territories as the Federal government has an outsized influence on many things there.

[@journey2fifty]

Beautiful footage!

[@elizabethlarose3632]

Excellent video and series.

[@jpallen719]

We love you kids:) you make the trip so enjoyable😽

[@Gr8LakesCamper]

Awesome! What an adventure! Poster shot at 12:13 (one of many)!

[@MortonsontheMove]

Ha! So true, its so beautiful up here!

[@dwhite1282]

Just found y’all’s video series and have been binge watching them...I work in Prudhoe Bay and we have driven the ALCAN several times, we love BC and toad river lodge is great

[@jforger]

This video series is amazing. You guys are doing such a good job with these. As a matter of fact, when your series concludes I will probably cancel my bucket list trip to Alaska as I would have seen everything already. :-)

[@MortonsontheMove]

Dont do that! Lol :)

[@howardscott6634]

Your videos are alsomme. Look forward to the next one. I have seen other Utube on Alaska but they are beginners compared to you professional look and your descriptions. Looking forward for the next one.

[@splendaglenda1632]

Excellent video. I so enjoyed it. Thanks

[@MrJtbear]

Really enjoyed that video, keep up the good work. I am looking forward to visiting my nephew in Whitehorse one day. Your video is very helpful so far, the road looks good for a suv to travel with.

[@justingreene1021]

Love this series. I'm working on a van/camper conversion and Alaska's one place I plan on visiting.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Following along guys. Not much else to say except that I'm jealous, but it's pretty much at the top of the bucket list.

[@TransformingTogetherIA]

Oh I love your videos I'm a new subscriber and find myself at home thanking you both for sharing everything I most likely will never see. Thank you!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video! We hope to make this route someday.

[@TBrownRecords]

Nice

[@jameshodgins1937]

Beautiful. I drove that Alaska Highway in 1987 and it is amazing how many places looked familiar to me. I can't wait to go back! How are you enjoying your Lance Camper? We love our Lance Travel Trailer. Keep those videos coming!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@MortonsontheMove]

Thanks James, The lance has been great! I bet a lot has changed since 87!

[@jameshodgins1937]

@@MortonsontheMove I'll be headed to Alaska within the next few years. I have so many trips in my head, it's hard to figure out what one I want to take first. Last year was out west. This year is to Michigan (I know Caitlin Is from MI) I was born and raised in Grand Rapids. I want to take them all at once! The hot springs were great. When we stopped, there was great big moose off to the right of the board walk when you went back the pools. He was just laying in the water eating. That was quite the sight. I remember the Indian head mountain too. That was pretty cool. I look forward to more videos.
