ℹ️About the episode:
"Oh, you missed it!" This is a phrase we've been accustom to hearing. Most RVers get this a lot because it's impossible to see everything and we all have different interests. During our visit to Michigan in Season 1, we missed Mackinac Island and the Upper Peninsula. But the season, we came back to experience both. This time, we missed Traverse City and Tahquamenon Falls, but I'm sure we'll be back to Michigan again and we saved some for later.
As we mentioned in the video, we're enjoying spending quality time in fewer places than trying to see everything and feeling rushed and wishing we had more time.

The discussion about pasties cracked me up. And the comment about bug spray being kept in the poison section. We once camped in a place where the mosquitos were a visible wall so we used a product with something like 95% deet. The bugs were so voracious we had to spray our faces and it made our lips numb. I don't even want to think about what kind of cancer we gave ourselves that week.
A couple of things...Mark - you were right on the pronunciation of pasties. They are British in origin. Also, when you are on wooded hikes, dab some mint and lavender oils behind your ears and on your wrists. They are great natural insect repellants.
I love your videos about Michigan but also hate them at the same time. I am an economic refugee that was forced to relocate in 2006 to NC and miss Michigan sooo much that seeing your journey through the greatest state in our country makes me super home sick. BEST sunsets in the country! Keep it coming, thanks so much for allowing us tag along on your journey.
Thanks to KYD I no longer watch regular TV and only look forward to your videos. I absolutely love your entire family and its fun watching Charlie getting bigger. Thank you for being my inspiration!
My Gypsy Adventure my wife and I are the same. Seems regular TV is on its way out. 😂
Welcome! Yooper territory. I lived in St. Ignace for four years. It's beautiful country. This video makes me miss the UP. Love the video!
I always enjoy the videos. We have considered going on the road for a year, so we learn a lot from how you do things. BUT..... the best part of your videos for me is CALEB. He cracks me up. I have had a teenage son that found traveling with us quite laborious. Caleb has a pretty good attitude but has quite the sense of humor and it makes the videos real. I say... have him shoot one episode from his point of view for the whole thing. That would be viral for sure.
Kyd I honestly think this is one of my favorites, because of the silent walk with the stinky slinky!!!! Spllaaahhhh! Love you guys!
Meggs!
Meggan Laucher 😂
Good thing you noticed the sewer hose but it’s damaged anyway. We were concerned about you being in Triple E territory with skin exposed. I know you sprayed but .... Thanks for taking us along on the boat rides. We definitely have to make a trip up there.
Great episode. The river cruise reminded me of a Wisconsin Dells river cruise. Those cliffs are amazing. Who else hates it when you realize the video is almost over.
I am a life-long resident of the U.P. and having grown up in the Munising area,, it was fun to see your reactions to Pictured Rocks. When I was a kid there (I'm 67 now) as a resident of Alger County, you could take the Pictured Rocks cruise free of which I did take advantage . Also growing up there we used to climb Miner's Castle and the people snapping pix of us and waving at us was something I will always remember. We were indestructible youth!
Mark you are correct with your pronunciation of pass tee for the pasty’s. Of note they are a traditional miner’s “dish” from Cornwall England. We really enjoy the videos, please keep up the great work.
Love hearing the band family and friends at minute 10 on this video. Local Athens, Georgia band. Y'all are great.
I ❤ Charlie. He's such a great dog.
I just try to make my trips enjoyable. Stop and enjoy. Find something. I will never see everything, but I am going to enjoy what I see. Meanwhile, I'll follow a bunch of other travelers and see more things, and get ideas for future trips.
My latest "I'll never do it, but I love the videos" are the narrow boat people in England. Imagine RVing at 3 miles an hour down a canal. It's lovely. Most canals are going through countryside. And they all want to share their adventures.
And I loved the tree growing on top of the rock. I swear that one looks like the skull of an outer space alien.
My hubs & I so enjoy your videos. We always look forward to the next one. From your videos we learn & make notes of where y’all go to put on our destination list. You two remind me so much of ourselves in personality.
I would enjoy seeing what y’all do for exercise other than hikes as well as more cooking vids.
Really beautiful footage. Saw you dragging the hose. Had the worse experience yesterday, the hose broke mid stream black tank, and I froze for seconds before closing the valve. OMG! At least no one was watching my hazmat clean up. Ahhhhh, a poopsie. Hahaha. I’m keeping that one. Hope you see these comments, total appreciation.
I don't know if you have talked much about homeschooling, but I love your enthusiasm for places you visit! I homeschooled 10 kids (4 step kiddos) and loved every second! I have a BA in education and a master's in writing. I miss the years of homeschooling and look forward to our years on the road - hopefully sharing writing with other homeschoolers. Keep your enthusiasm! Love your videos 😁
Best pasties in the U.P are the ones sold near Munising Mi. There is a small town west of Munising called Autrain and the gas station there has the best pasties ever. Northern Michigan is beautiful but the U.P is absolutely magical.
Do you ever become complaisant or numb to the scenery you pass? Yet another stunning destination!!
We have only been on the road for 6 months and definitely are not complacent. They might be but I doubt it!
Glad you came to our beautiful state!!
Kitch-iti kipi was the clean highlight of this video. Crystal clear water is always great to see. Stinky slinky was the dirty highlight of the video. Loved them both. Charlie has got you guys wrapped around his paws - Trish knew he would jump up there for a treat. haha
Great videography of the Sunset and many other shots, too. Well done!
Great video!!! We laughed at the slinky and poopsie comments! We put ours in a plastic bin so that doesn't happen! Love that you paid forward the toll!
Paying it forward was so cool!
Wonderful you showed our beautiful UP and Michigan’s beauty, thanks!
I like your ‘more time doing less things’ mantra. We, the viewers, enjoy your experiences but need to remember, it is YOUR experience. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Well said! We need to slow down with our travels as well.
Great video as always, better than TV. I want to say one thing though and you're not guilty but it's something that can happen in a second. Whenever you throw something in the water for the dog to retrieve keep it close and be prepared to go in and save him. My dog loves going after things and recently almost drowned just from being tired. I was able to get to him just as he went under and he's fine. I never even thought of that happening until it did. Be safe out there and thank you for taking the time to share.
I'm glad you had a great time in my home state. I really enjoy Trish's facts. I like to learning new things. The first year my wife and I took the Picture Rocks cruise. The waves picked up and we had waves coming over the top of boat. They quickly returned us to port and kindly returned our money. Great people!
Patrick London they did for us as well and we all started to get sea sick. Pretty but Not fun.
I love that you guys pay it forward too. my husband and I do that all the time with tolls, coffee lines, all kinds of things it just feels good :)
I’ve been in Michigan several times. but never in the u.p. From your videos it is very beautiful place. You guys enjoy your journey. 👍☕️🍩
That clip of you dragging the stinky slinky down the side of the road was fabulous, I mean award winning fabulous. Real RV life. Stuff happens. Don't discard that clip. That should be in your intro on every video. I loved it. You never have said how your fridge drama ended up. Inquiring feeble minds wanna know.
My husband and I took a road trip to the UP a couple of years ago. We had no plan, no idea where we would sleep or where we would eat. It was the best vacation of our lives! We stuck to local food and local motels. Our first stop was Sault Ste. Marie and we rode the coast west ending in Marquette and headed back home to Ohio. 5 days. My favorite stop was Munising, Sault Ste Marie was a nice town also. We had so many beautiful views from a number of light houses along the coast. We hiked to see waterfalls and totally enjoyed ourselves with no plan.
I love watching Caleb making faces behind you guys. He does it in almost every video and it's awesome! :o)
Dreamy ! This Quality viewing experience is why we and our children switched from watching standard terrestrial tv to 100% youtube viewing (4 years now) Thank you KYD for being leading lights - not just on Vlog production (hilarious pipe-drag btw 🤣) but on wholesome marriage, family dynamics and getting the best out of life - your light travels far and wide - sending this appreciation from the UK x
It is very nice to see the excitement you have for the subjects you are teaching your children. The midwest has a large variety of soil types to study as you go around.
I realize that it’s Monday but just to let you know you guys are the favorite part of our Sunday it’s the last thing we do before bed is watch the latest episode thank you for sharing your journey.
Love the UP. one of THE BEST places on earth to take a summer trip.
Trish laughing in the “Kitchitikipi’ scene. 15:29. Marc is hilarious. I’d be cracking up all the time too.
22:21 what a kick watching your son ham it up in the background. Another great video. Thanks
19:50
My favourite type of fungi is the Mycorrhizal network which, if I'm remembering correctly, uses mycelium strands to connect trees, allowing trees to communicate with each other and pass nutrients. I never thought I'd be interested in fungi and trees. Then I read 'The Hidden Life of Trees' by Peter Wohlleben. Hands down a fantastic read and gives you a new appreciation for nature.
Another great video. It took me longer to get through it because I paused several time to get some great screen captures. Beautiful country. Even though I have been to Mackinaw, I never crossed the bridge to experience the UP. It is so satisfying to watch the interactions of your family. You guys are the best and thank you for sharing. Paul from Texas
We also RV travel 3-5 months each year and also do a CZcams video channel. The quality of your videos and your dedication to weekly publication is amazing. Good you bring to the public attention, the post production time involved in each video.
Setting up the camera to catch yourself dragging the stinky-slinky was so worth it! Lots of LOLs here 🤣
jhmup so much story in a single shot :-)
Had to replay that bit a few times because of the framing of the shot.
Did Caleb record it? I saw him putting the camera back after you climbed back in.
Love Caleb’s antics during your “serious” bit. ❤️
We loved it also!
We’ve all seen plenty of them hoses on the roads run over. Asphalt Anacondas
jhmup hilarious
It's such a great view when you have the camera on top of the trailer!! Awesome shots!!
Thank-you for sharing your family and your travels with us and all the hard work you all do! We are newbies and when I get nervous about stuff, I watch your videos and feel so inspired!
I love the comments about getting better pasties then the ones across the street from the gas station. My mother in law is a upper born and raised and makes the best pasties. We love the UP.
It makes the day so much better when someone pays it forward just shows there are good people in the world and such a blessing.
Each week I feel as my Sunday is complete when I’ve watched your video, thanks for sharing
By far my favorite RV family, kid friendly, no bad language....we hope to be back on the road 2020 after a 3 year break.
Love watching your videos and love the music. I was born and raised in the South West of England where pasties originated as a flat(ish) semi circular pie, that farm workers could put into their back pockets for their lunch. We were in the UP earlier this summer and sampled a Michigan Pastie....pretty good!!! We also visited Kitch-iti kipi, the group that went out before us included some Native Americans for whom the location is sacred and were granted permission to drum and chant while on the raft. Even from the shore it was quite an experience.
My grandfather was born in Cornwall and came to the U.S. as a teen. We were raised on pasties and sausage rolls. My comfort food. Blessed to visit Cornwall twice and see the homeland of my ancestors. :-)
Somehow we missed watching this episode when you released it last fall... watching it today 9 months later was an absolute pleasure! After watching this episode today, we had to hook up our little retro travel trailer and move it to a different place. Watching your videos always gets us into the adventure of moving our trailer around, and all the chores that go along with the adventures too. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!... And the Upper Peninsula of Michigan looks like an amazing place to visit! It's on our list of places that we will go on our little home on wheels. :-)
Hey guys! ☀️🌞😁 I was RV camping in our Little Guy Max in the Upper Peninsula and I am in the process of editing my CZcams video (it will go live next Thursday) I think we were probably there at the same time. 😊 The winds were very windy... I had never heard so much wind while trying to sleep in our RV. We stayed at Bay Furnace State Park in Munising across the street from where you stayed and traveled to the east Lake Michigan shoreline. Pictured Rocks was like heaven on earth! WOW... I couldn’t believe how gorgeous they were. We did Miners Falls and loved the sunsets! Fun to see your video... fingers crossed mine turns out as well done as yours! 😁👍😎💡☀️❤️💭🤞
Charlie is really growing. You guys are in great shape you both look amazing
Been to these places many times and it never gets old.
Thank you for the hard work each week in sharing your travels with all of us! Your skills in producing quality video with great music really makes Sunday evenings so enjoyable.
I watch your guys Video's all the time and laugh with them every time. I can not wait to get a motor home and start traveling around. This one is for sure a place I would love to see......You all are so awesome thank you for making these and sharing them with us.
Awesome!! Lol the "poopsi"!! Mosquito hike wouldn't be down my alley but glad you tried it!! Oh, loved the video from your rig on the bridge!! Very cool!! Loved going over it when we went to Michigan!!
I don’t know if everyone realizes just how awesome your editing is..the mushrooms on the trees..showing video of them as you still hear and finish the conversation about them, just one example.
Amazing job on video guys! ❤️❤️
Agree.
Top shelf all the way.
You guys are the only channel I follow that has taken me to the UP. Thank you!!
Love the addition of the side shots of the map and the hiking app! Great perspective for map lovers and fellow route planners, please keep it up!
As a youth we use to go to the UP many times. Now our children go up there. They where just there for a wedding last week. By not seeing everything means you'll just have to go back someday. Got to say Caleb is so funny, the looks while you were talking. We enjoy your travels. Take care and be safe!
Treats always work.good job Trish.Enjoy watching your MI adventures.
Charlie appears to have some Maddie in him, teaching you guys what he needs, and how much he loves the water. Be safe, have fun & happy camping. v/r, TS Denver, CO
Love that you guys are doing 75Hard! My wife and I starting after my shoulder surgery.
These sunset and water shots are making a trip to Michigan a must on our travel schedule. Thank you for all the great ideas.
As our slowly sets in the west we bid a fond farewell to our intrepid explorers and hope they have an uneventful night and a brighter day tomorrow.
Total LOL moment "walking the stinky slinky". Loved the video as always. What spectacular sunsets!
I am a born Yooper. A Pasty is a cornish meat pie, Meat, potatoes, onions, rutabaga are the basic ingredients, put into a lard crust. Love them. Eat mine with Ketchup. As a yooper your mother would call you out of the water when your lips turn blue. Once they are red again you can go back in.
Thanks for showing my home state & the beautiful UP, we own 10 acres and i think you drove right by it on HWY 94. The bugs are legendary, best times to visit are mid August thru October, very few bugs and the fall colors are beautiful.
My stepdad grew up in the UP. He said the miners took pasties with them to work for lunch. He taught me how to make them. Yum!
And that stinky, slinky walk really was priceless--love that, still laughing, we have all been there.
I live in Chicago but was born in South London England.
The best pasties are Cornish Pasties from Cornwall England, the best shepherds pie is my Mum's !!!
Maddie would be so proud of Charlie not wanting to get into the truck.
Trish,s sun glasses are everything 💅🏽
Lot of memories of the UP... in a little town in golver just 11 miles east of manisque off US 2. Spent every summer there as a kid... My Grandpa was born and raised in manisique... I Live in Arizona now and Miss The UP... Been on the picture rocks cruise many of times... Very beautiful...
Husband's Undergrad degree is in Geology, I am a Master Gardener and son has a BS in Civil Engineering. We love soil and the science of soil.
I was born and raised in the U.P., such a beautiful place to call home. I love that I got to experience your 'home life' for 9 months (went temp full time with kiddos while Hubby was deployed), and nore you've experienced mine! It's been so nice to visit my home with you guys this morning! Next time you go, I can bring you the REAL Yooper experience and get you guys a little off the beaten path. Btw, how were the pastys?
Incredible!! Wow! That ending sunset, impeccable!!
We toured the UP in the spring back in 2012 and more often than not found ticks on us after most hikes, so check occasionally. Also, kicking of a nutricional lifestyle change can be accented and accelerated by a traditional fast. When I became a vegan 50 years ago, I fasted for 10 days, drinking nothing but distilled water. You wouldn't believe what was eliminated and what it felt like after. I ate salads and veggies and fruit juices for the next 2 years, all raw foods, nuts and grains. Fifteen years later I added fish to my diet but no meat for 50 years now :-)
I just missed you guys by a couple of weeks! I was down the road at Bay Furnace campground and had crappy weather!
Thank you for sharing and taking all of us to all those wonderful places !I'm a a follower since 1st season and always looking forward to your videos ! I know you know this but, what a wonderful family you are ! I love all of you and safe travels !
Man i envy the hell out of you guys! I hope one day to take my camper and truck on all the adventures you do!
Beautiful Sunsets! And another great video! Trish....all you have to do is open the passenger side door and call Charlie in...with or without a treat he will just jump right in... My girlfriends 13 year old Golden who has cancer walks with us for miles and I just open the passenger door and call him...he still jumps right up...even after 6 miles of mountainous terrain in Maine ;)
You had me at Pasties! My grandfather was born in Cornwall, England and emigrated to the U.S. in the 1920's. I grew up eating Cornish Pasties! My favorite food ever! Enjoying your trip to Macinac Island and the U.P. Safe travels!
Apparently, the pasty was created for the miners in the UK to eat underground. Essentially, a savoury hand pie. They needed something packed with calories because of their physical jobs in the coal mines and easily eaten. Of course, they call them pass-tee and call geysers, geezers??? Learned this from watching "the great model railroad challenge".
I noticed someone else has gone to a once a week video (understanding that working fulltime fr the road has its restrictions) and wondered if you had started a trend. Then I found out they just moved most of there content to Patreon grumble grumble.
Looking forward to more your experiences from the UP. Great content as per usual.
Are those savoury hand pies made by Sweeney Todd?
@@sunsetchaser3117 Only on special order.
Cornish folks invented the Pastie and make the best in the world!
Suggest getting and using the orange plastic square pads between the ground and square stabilization pads. If it rains or there is damp ground there is not enough area to prevent your system from sinking and becoming stuck. I have gray hair, eyebrows and ear fuzz.
Welcome to Michigan, you will love our state. Enjoy the Native American and French names!!
That was so cool that someone paid forward by paying backwards...lol and then y'all did the same! If we all did that when we can...it would be so beautiful.
Great video!! Really beautiful area of the country. Boy, Charlie has so made such a great addition to your family. Safe travels 😊💞🇺🇸
We love Charlie too!
The POV from the leading edge of the fifth wheel is awesome 👍🏼
Yeah thats quite nice might have to use that in our vlogs!👍🏻
Marc why don’t you use the hose carrier on the trailer? I added another to ours . Put a keeper pin in the little door and no worries!
A 5 star sunset and sedimentary rocks in the same video, keep up the good work.
The first time we did the raft over the springs, it was a stick with a hole in it that was twisted to catch on the cable and you pulled it to move the raft. That was back in the 70s.
Hope you can make it to canyon falls it's absolutely beautiful
We are LOVING watching your Michigan videos! We moved to NZ 2 years ago from Michigan and you guys have been visiting some of our favorite spots!!
Awesome. You probably recall us saying that Michigan and NZ are on the same latitude, which is why they are similar. Pretty cool.
@@KeepYourDaydream Super cool! We lived in St. Joe Michigan where we had beautiful summers and cold, snowy winters. In NZ, we live in the northern part of the north island, so MUCH warmer in the winter and no snow!
We loved Munising Tourist Park CG! We were there for just one night back in August, and it was beautiful!
I love Carson , he’s so funny.
Carson or Caleb? Caleb is the real jokester of the family I think (he's the youngest; Carson is the older of the two boys). Of course, CHARLIE is the SUPER JOKESTER ("I can't get up; lift me! Oh, wait! A treat? I GOT THIS!!!!!!") hahaha
Pasty education needed I think. Pasty rhymes with nasty. Originally they are from Cornwall in the UK. The Cornish miners wives would make a rich meat & vegetable filling inside a pastry case that they could take and eat for lunch. Often when meat was scarce it might be just potato, swedes, onion etc. The rope type edge is a good seal, and works as a disposable handle for dirty and possibly poison tainted hands.
Michigan home grown here ..Love to see people enjoy all the beauty that is in Michigan.. once you cross that bridge it’s a different world... looking for educational things down state in Dearborn,MI is The Henry Ford Museum and Village you can also take the Ford rouge plant tour.. see Henry Fords birthplace and tour a Ford Assembly Plant.
That scene of you dragging that...stinky slinky back cracked me up. It made me think of a scene that would've fit right in a Chevy Chase family vacation movie 😂.
Love you guys! Of all the RV channels on u-tube, yours is my fav. You interaction with each other makes it enjoyable to watch. The UP of Mi is on the top of my bucket list, spent 4 years there in the service about 25 mi from Marquette, so very interested in your UP adventures.
@ 2:18: "We're gonna get some fuel". Spoken like a true Powerstroke Owner. Congrats.
👍
I lived in the UP of Michigan for 20 years! Be sure to go to Paradise and the Tahquamenon Falls! Love seeing you in the UP!
