[@shaheeraha.2874]

Please never leave youtube. Yalls content is everything. Thanks for making me feel like I'm advebturing with you!! Sincerely, a big ole fan ❤

[@Theendlessadventure]

Aww, thanks so much Shaheerah!! 🥰 We're so happy to have you adventuring with us, and don't worry, we won't be leaving KZbin anytime soon 😉

[@shaheeraha.2874]

You're welcome!! And such good news lol Thanks for the awesome response. See you on the road!!🤗

[@katt3428]

That sequence with the fireworks, the flag, and music was so beautiful. Thank you guys.

[@BobWillisOutdoors]

I had one of the best car break-down experiences of my life in Sioux Falls. I was driving my 1974 Honda Civic across the country, and as I approached Sioux Falls, a loud noise started from the engine area. I pulled into the Honda dealer, and they quickly diagnosed the problem as a bad alternator. The service guy told me to go have some lunch and then come back. So I walked across the street to a little coffee shop and had lunch. By the time lunch was finished, and I returned to the dealership, my car was fixed. The price was reasonable, and I was on the road immediately. It was as if I had only stopped for lunch and continued on my journey. The customer service was the best I had ever experienced from any dealership service center. It was an excellent experience!

[@kevans2337]

I love your filming and editing, Alison's goofy comments and the way Eric looks at her when she makes them (so me and my husband, he's the goof). And I didn't know South Dakota was this interesting. Would love to visit. Love from Oregon.

[@marge3157]

Central Oregon here!

[@cindland]

I applaud Alison allowing Eric to film “walking away” shots. Bravo, Alison! You are rockin’ it.

[@StephenandAndie]

Agree! Their filming & editing rock. 👏

[@lostamonglocals5382]

Totally agree. Our relationship is the same

[@jt.s.7418]

I am LOVING that your Endless Adventure is now experiencing the U.S.A! We have so much to see and do. This was one of your best. 🥰

[@travellingsweetpea]

Such beautiful landscape! Next time you’re there it would be interesting to learn about the Indigenous culture in the area that has so much rich history and modern impact as well

[@peterwinstonaldredge6927]

Thank you for showcasing my family's homeland! I am of German heritage and my ancestors settled in eastern South Dakota. More Americans really need to explore our great country, and learn of its heritage. Keep on travelin'!

[@lilredwagon5311]

Majority of us are Germans from Russia in the Northeastern parts with some Norwegian, and some Dutch, and Irish

[@davebayliss3142]

how one have you lived in Germany?

[@peterwinstonaldredge6927]

@@lilredwagon5311 I am aware of that. I do genealogy and a number of my ancestors were Germans from Russia. It's an interesting and arduous journey they took to end up in America. I am thankful they were strong enough individuals to do that.

[@em......]

I saw Wall Drug and I was like, hold on... I live in Australia and have never been to South Dakota, why do I know Wall Drug?? Then I realised that Kara and Nate went there haha. Whew, I wasn't going crazy. Love this video. I loved all the animals. I am putting South Dakota on my list of states to visit!

[@Skittl1321]

South Dakota is tough for an international visit because it's in the middle, and most of what people want to see is on either side, or Texas. (Like Australia, the US is a big place. Tough to see it all.)

[@em......]

@@Skittl1321 yeah, I've been to the USA three times and have only seen a small bit. (Well, I've been to 15 states)

[@kellyb6738]

Same here, I had to think where I’d seen Wall Drug for a sec. I love both these traveling couples!

[@cindland]

Yes, Kara and Nate paved the way for me too! But I liked Alison and Eric ‘s comic touches.

[@ybhavanapriya]

Same

[@loisorourke6845]

I never knew there was so much beauty in South Dakota.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Us either! It really blew us away 😍

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Living overseas as we do, I really enjoyed your 4th of July celebration! 🇺🇸

[@SuzanneLight]

You guys are amazing! I didn't think the foreign countries could be beat but your USA tour is fantastic! Your videography is beyond amazing! How did you capture those amazing animals? I told my subscribers about you and many of them watch you....... but this video deserves additional recognition! Keep up the fabulous work! Sending more viewers your way 👍

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thank you so much for message, Suzanne! 🥰 And we're so happy your subscribers have enjoyed the adventure as well! We have a really great zoom lens almost specifically for capturing animals and nature. 😍 We love watching the footage back and seeing animals closer than we ever could on our own 🐄🦬🦌🐏🐿

[@Potter2984]

We drove through SD on our move west last year. It was a great place to visit. You missed the Crazy Horse monument. It’s also worth a visit as well as the Corn Palace in Mitchell SD.

[@dethmane]

Glad you guys came to my neck of the woods and truly enjoyed yourself. Me and my family enjoy day tripping to the Black Hills of South Dakota.

[@ersilcoff]

You're travel and leisure videos are getting noticeably better. This may be the best one since you returned to the usa...

[@peggyrandall4518]

I love that that you stopped in Scenic and the Longhorn Saloon! I have my picture taken in front of it about 20 years ago. awesome!

[@JustinBrehm]

The one time I left my phone upstairs I get a notification from the power couple of KZbin that they made a video. South Dakota looked very peaceful and great shots n editing, thanks for taking us along on your journey. I'm glad no1 fell in, Eric has had some mishaps over the years (tailbone comes to mind) and excellent food there in SD.

[@lmaree200886]

This video is sponsored by South Dakota Tourism and they used stock clips from a website called Storyblocks for the Badlands and the Mount Rushmore drone shots. Look in the bottom right corner when those scenes come up you will see a black S inside a yellow circle with ‘Storyblocks’ next to it.

[@Rachel-yh1ol]

The falls actually are pretty dangerous in bad weather and I’m glad when they visited the water was down and they could explore. As someone who lives nearby I can speak to the fact that people have fallen before.

[@thenikonjones]

I've watched all of your videos over the last few years and I must say that this one and the France video are two of the best that you all have done. Your b roll and shot selection is on point Eric! Very much worth the wait! And, of course Allison's comic relief transitions...so perfect! Very, very well done you two!

[@lmaree200886]

Also this video is sponsored by South Dakota Tourism and they used stock clips from a website called Storyblocks for the Badlands and the Mount Rushmore drone shots. They film their own work so well that those shots have confused quite a few people in these comments thinking they did something illegal by using their own drone! Look in the bottom right corner when those scenes come up you will see a black S inside a yellow circle with ‘Storyblocks’ next to it.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks so much for the comment, Jimmy! We actually thought about the France trip a lot during this one (one of our favorite videos too!) so we're super happy this topped the list along with that one! Of course it always makes our job easier a lot easier when the locations are amazing like here in SD and southern France 😍

[@melissabreedlove8211]

My husband and I took our kids on this same trip a cpl of years ago.. but we also added on Yellowstone, went and seen all the geysers and hot springs.. then headed over to arches national park.. amazing trip! I was in awe over wall drug also..

[@buildanadventure]

This video was worth the wait! Loved that you got to live your best Little House on the Prairie life! As a fellow millennial girl I get it! Loved the books growing up! 💛

[@kevinfleming9919]

Everytime I see Mount Rushmore I think of Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason in "North By Northwest"! Cool trivia note, in the scene where Cary is about to be shot in the tourist lodge cafeteria, before the gun goes off there is a young boy 👦 sitting at a table behind him that has heard how loud the gun is in a previous take and covers his ears before the gun goes off! It was the best take of the other characters and they were close to finishing and running out of time so they left in in the movies 🎥 final cut!

[@coderedmonte]

As a fellow south dakotaen and also from Sioux-Falls glad you enjoyed your visit to our city

[@debl8727]

You kids packed so much fun in this video! Makes me want to go to South Dakota like right now! Always love your choices of places to stop & eat. Those donuts......mmmmmmmmm!!!

[@wrongwaynsassie]

So many beautiful sights to see! My husband and I are truck drivers and have driven through all the states. Thank you for showing us some of the things we have never been able to get due to the size of our semi.

[@KuyintoB]

The background when you got off that off-road vehicle looked like it was a painted backdrop. Beautiful.

[@lostamonglocals5382]

It looks unreal

[@Theendlessadventure]

it was amazing! Especially with the storm rolling in, we couldn't have asked for a better final view 😍

[@Rachel-yh1ol]

As someone who has lived in South Dakota my whole life I’ve only been to the badlands about four times. I live near Sioux Falls so it’s a five hour drive to the hills. South Dakota is a massive state land wise and has so many fun places to wander.

[@lilredwagon5311]

I live in Aberdeen and I am thinking of trying out the state perimeter run that people have been doing for, I guess, a good long while now

[@MsKestrela]

My family took that same road trip in the 1960s, when I was a kid. Wall Drug was just a medium sized "drug store" with a lunch counter and a few, generic souvenirs. Pulling over to gaze at wildlife wasn't high on my dad's list, but we did stop when a herd of bison decided to cross the highway. Great video, guys!

[@davidholiday4494]

Despite being born and growing up in the California Bay Area I know next to nothing about the states as I left when I was 17. Your videos have been very educational for me. South Dakota looks more beautiful than I would have imagined. As for the food - I wanted to rip that chicken wing out of your hand!!!! Eric's brisket also looked very nice - for some reason the butchers don't understand what a brisket cut is - and it's impossible to find it in the supermarkets here in the UK. They have different cuts and names - it gets very frustrating sometimes. However, lovely video as usual. Thank you!!!

[@sknox1394]

Thank you for fitting so much nature into this video, such a wide variety of animals in two very different landscapes. I’m a little surprised the ghost town is just sitting there.

[@SharingtheRoad]

Good eats, great scenery, and great commentators! Love the video guys, keep it up! 😊

[@JWP6948]

South Dakota is such a beautiful place to visit and spend a week. My Uncle and his family live in Gordon, Nebraska right across the border and he is always our tour guide when we visit. 4th of July at Crazy Horse Mountain was one of the best laser/fireworks displays I've ever seen. 🍻 to all the road trips. Love the vidjas!

[@christianluff]

Great to see you back on the road again. You’ve not lost your touch during the various restrictions of late. Top notch travel vlogging. Super visuals, well researched and with a decent amount of fun facts along the way!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks, Christian! 🙌 We really, really enjoyed being back on the road. Now if only we could do it with the RV! 😅 But this trip just made us that much more excited to get back out on the road again full time soon.

[@RobertMaciver]

The birds nesting at Devil's Gulch are Cliff Swallows. Storks are not found in SD - more likely what you saw were Sandhill Cranes.

[@Duchessjo44]

You beat me to it!

What? @ 0:54 - is that little cutie real? The slow-mo footage of the ducks is absolutely incredible - the detail in their muscles as they dip in the water, beautiful. There's so much cool stuff in this video, but the wildlife stole the show! Reminder to self: do not watch T.E.A. when hungry!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh boy, those prairie dogs were the highlight of the trip for us (and the bison and the sheep and all the other animals 🤣) but we couldn't get over how cute and ridiculous those little guys were. They just sat around eating peanuts without a care in the world 😍

[@lb3659]

I’m so glad you showed the dinosaur! Kara and Nate didnt show it!

Currently they are airing the complete tv show of Little House on the Prairie on a Dutch network, and I'm "taping" them all. Last week the Laura and Almonzo start their romance together episodes were on, my absolute favorite episodes. ❤❤❤ great that you got to visit on of the places she lived in.

This reminds me of our road trip last year - except my inlaws live on the MN/SD border so I've been to Sioux Falls and we just hightailed it to the Badlands and Wall Drugs before overnighting in Rapid City. (I'd also like to note it was 90 when we hit the road on Sunday and left Rapid early because of the severe winter storm weather that was coming on Tuesday. In September.)
