This looks so peaceful and amazing. Wow, wow, wow! Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@penthevision4706]

Glorious video. Thanks for sharing. So funny watching the dogs play 😂

[@adventuredenali]

Thank you! It makes me so happy to see them having fun.

[@honeymama777]

Loved Dot's little rock skip jumps across the water...and the pups running around in circles, ha ha. Thanks!

[@glennsveum1429]

Springtime in New Mexico! Great video. The Gila is awesome. You should see it in summer.

[@terriamann4420]

ahhh....just peaceful and beautiful! :)

[@CraftyMountainGal]

Such a rejuvenating trip for all of you. Thanks so much for bringing us along. "Adventures Beyond the Writing Desk" Loved it!

[@adventuredenali]

You’re welcome! Ooh, I like that, “Adventures Beyond the Writing Desk!”

[@technoraptor7778]

I like that too..what an awesome name for these!

[@randy-9842]

Catherine, that almost sounds like a new and exciting "Narnia" [CS Lewis] story title!

[@jahblessin3996]

Always enjoy the videos !

[@elizabethmartin8792]

This was really lovely. Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your journey.

[@adventuredenali]

Just beautiful

[@F.S.H.O.]

I came across your ink/pen stuff, got the feels with the ferret (RIP my Mr. Bently) and cello stuff (RIP my cello...cracked neck). Your videos are relaxing, and the vibe is right. Gracias por compartir! saludos desde California.

[@joymusterer]

Thank you for letting us tag along. So lovely!

[@Richard_Barnes]

That was a superb trip for us to see 🙂 I’m not a camper myself but that scenery and the calm quiet really does appeal. Thx for sharing 👍🏻 It’s so good to see the dogs loving it.

[@RoundSeal]

What a gorgeous area! There's nothing in the world like a hot drink during a camping trip. Thank you for sharing this!

[@dianewalker9154]

The dogs are so funny! Great entertainment. And good hikers too.

[@adventuredenali]

They had soooo much fun!

[@janetsilverman884]

Absolutely stunning video. Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey. 💕💕💕

[@sammmenzies134]

Gosh you do some awesome stuff! Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures. You regularly inspire me ☺️

[@KR-tr9fl]

What a wonderful adventure - thank you for sharing. (How I long for the quiet of nature!)

[@adventuredenali]

It is a wonderful thing to experience the quiet in nature. Feels so soulful. Hope you can experience that soon

[@randy-9842]

Gorgeous scenery. I've never been to the Gila Wilderness -- what a loss to have missed it ! But I have plenty of other memories of my own. THANK YOU for showing me (all of us) this beautiful place. Loved watching Fig and Dot chase each other around the campsite.

[@adventuredenali]

You’re so welcome! Have you been to New Mexico then?

[@randy-9842]

@@adventuredenali Grew up in the panhandle of Texas (and NE Oklahoma) and vacationed rather frequently in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and South Dakota ... and elsewhere, of course, but those are where we had most of our outdoor adventures! Oh, and we almost always had a dog along with us too, but, shucks, _never any ferrets!_ Most of that was back before Interstate Highways were so prevalent and we actually SAW the countryside, listened to the babbling brooks and breathed the air scented with pine needles [ edit *_and sage_* ] as it rustled the Aspen. Mom always collected and pressed leaves and wildflowers (if they were legal to pick in that area) and pressed them into her books. Her form of journaling, I suppose. Alicia, you have no idea how much I enjoy all your videos, but especially the wilderness ones! You renew and help relive some very pleasant and ancient memories from the 1950's and 60's. Stay safe, healthy and keep posting pen, journal, critter and wilderness videos. God bess you and your partner and, of course, Fig, Bean and Dot!

[@lensolla7777]

Such gorgeous nature!

[@archivist17]

What a wonderful and spectacular trip! Glad to see you defied the cold to enjoy yourselves. And the new girl did great 👍

[@paddymcnamara9147]

Just lovely, love to see how you and the doggies are so great together. You are an amazing woman Alicia. Interesting booka bout a very formidable woman too! Keep posting, you do help keep us stay positive about life and Mother nature.

[@adventuredenali]

Thank you so much 😊

[@technoraptor7778]

I love hikes and nature walks...the weather is getting nicer.

[@jennieeveleighlamond]

How beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@adventuredenali]

You’re welcome!

[@rydiecyj]

I had just pulled out my journaling supplies 📖 after putting down my knitting 🧶 when your vlog popped up in my feed. I truly love watching your nature adventure vlogs as it brings such peace and serenity to my soul so please 🙏🏼 keep them coming. They are truly a blessing and joy to watch as I feel like I’m on the journey with you. After watching this vlog, I think it’s time for me to schedule a self-care trip. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure!! 👍🏼

[@tootsfour956]

Thanks Alicia! This was so beautiful and at times I felt like I was there with you! BLESSINGS

[@srrfounder1]

If Gila Wilderness is in Arizona, I'm happy to be moving there in October! Thanks for letting us tag along with you, Alicia! 😊✌

[@norpalable]

IThe Gila is in NM, about a 5 hour drive from Tucson. Me & my husband go camping there frequently. It’s beautiful.

[@JG-no3iz]

You should be a guest on Howard Stern's show. He talks about you all the time (in a nice way). Stern is also a fellow 823 owner!

[@kimreynolds4]

Just beautiful!!

[@adventuredenali]

It was indeed!

[@123kirmizi]

this is exactly what I need , I am glad you are satisfied with your trip

[@adventuredenali]

Thank you so much! I hope you can experience something similar. So good for the soul.

[@christinecortese9973]

What a marvelous trip! I’m sure Bean would have been a bit uncomfortable in the cold. It’s great that you can get out there and feel that deep peace.

[@adventuredenali]

Thank you so much. I agree, “Deep peace” is an appropriate way to put it.

[@randy-9842]

"Deep peace." I like that. A lot, Christine!

[@benjaminashank]

[@michemman]

Dear Alicia and Brian, Double Zoomies! 9I must have missed a video on how you have a Dot now?. i saw another recently, but she was already there with no introductions!! Is that the first time you have left Bean, how did he go with your friend looking after him? In kindred spirit, Eliza Sydney Australia xx

[@MandaFandaa]

I enjoyed this SO much. You can tell y’all have done this a time or two before 😉 Loved the footage of the pups! Did you get to journal at all?

[@adventuredenali]

Thank you so much! I did get to journal! I totally forgot to record a moment.

[@SkySpiral8]

Does Bean get visibly excited after you return from a few days' absence?

[@123kirmizi]

and more videos please

[@adventuredenali]

Hahah!
