  • As we road trip through Arkansas we are stopping at two parks, Crater of Diamonds State Park and Hot Springs National Park! We spend our first day searching for Diamonds and camping at Crater of Diamonds State Park. Although we were unsuccessful in finding a diamond, we had a great time! The following day we were able to soak away all our aches and pains from diamond hunting in the Quapaw Baths & Spa in Hot Springs National Park.

    I've also noticed you both seem to be getting in even better shape while traveling and hiking so much! Thanks for taking us along!

      We balance out our hikes and physical activities with plenty of road trip junk food so probably not but we will take the compliment anyways haha
      Thank you for the kind words and for watching, we really appreciate it!

    Thank you for the video 😊. I have a cook stove just like your's. If you put the plastic cap on the gas canerster, you can flip it around and you can store it in the compartment in the stove

      Genius! We will have to try that to free up some space in our cabinet. Thanks for the tip and for watching, we really appreciate it!

    Had to come back to this video and comment to let you guys know I took my mom, and my son on a road trip to arkansas in August. This video inspired me to go there. The state was way more beautiful than I expected. The state parks in Arkansas are so pretty. Thank you for the inspiration 😊

    I give you guys a ton of cheers for your patience. I have no patience for any kind of gold panning or rock hunting. Your campsite looked really nice. ~ Kristina

      @mikeandheather  Před rokem +1

      Don't give us too much credit, we gave up a lot quicker when trying to find a diamond than looking for gold haha However, Mike is determined to go back there one day and stay for as long as it takes to find one. I told him that we would end up never leaving haha

  • @llorylloyd
    @llorylloyd Před rokem

    I just knew you would find a huge rock. It seemed like lots of fun.
    Sitting around a campfire 🔥 how awesome.
    Safe travels y'all 💕

    • @mikeandheather
      @mikeandheather  Před rokem +1

      We didn't find one, but at least we can say we saw one that was found! We probably wouldn't believe the diamonds existed there if the real diamond miners didn't show us their finds haha Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it!

  • @MICHELLE-gu2qc
    @MICHELLE-gu2qc Před rokem

    Great video guys. I never thought of diamonds mines can be like this. I hope you find a massive diamond or gold one day. Country folk in America are so friendly.

    • @mikeandheather
      @mikeandheather  Před rokem

      Mike has made it his life mission to go back to the Diamond Mine and not leave until he finds one! Hopefully we are able to do so one day, if for no reason than to not have to live in the dirt fields haha
      Thank you so much for watching, we really do appreciate it!

    Your latest videos have been so much fun. I’m looking forward to similar experiences after I get my Transit Connect fitted out. Step 1: get the pop-top installed. Keep up the great work.

    • @mikeandheather
      @mikeandheather  Před rokem +1

      A pop-top?! We are envious, that is going to be so nice! Thank you for the kind words and for watching, we really appreciate it! We can't wait until you get out on the road as well :)

      We hope you get there someday! Mike has made it his life mission to find a Diamond there so we may even run into each other haha

    when I'm using buckets.............I use two, 1 for each arm. When I was in Hot Springs I walked to the end where homes were and saw locals filling up many jugs with the spring water and driving away.

    • @mikeandheather
      @mikeandheather  Před rokem

      Two buckets is a smart idea, not only to balance you out but it also would have increased our chances of finding a diamond and we needed all the help we could get haha Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it!

    Is the plant boss Southwest flavor meatless crumbles spicy at all?

    • @mikeandheather
      @mikeandheather  Před rokem

      We both like spicy food so to us, it is not that spicy compared to what we normally eat! (the Tabasco sauce on the other hand was very spicy haha) They have a lot of flavors :)
