- During Episode 85 (January 7th, 2018) we announced our plans to RV Alaska. It’s hard to believe that seven months later, we’re finally on the Alaskan Highway. Mile “0” is the official start of the Alaskan Highway and the unofficial start to Season 5!
In this episode, we share lots of dash cam and drone footage so you can see the road conditions from Dawson Creek BC to Watson Lake Yukon. We also stop at Liard Hot Springs (must stop) for a two-hour soak after lunch. Next weekend we’ll hang the KYD sign in the Sign Forest in Watson Lake and finish the drive to Fairbanks. Stay tuned for more - we’ve done some amazing things in Alaska that we can’t wait to share with you!
📚In this episode, we mentioned one of our fav books “Younger Next Year”. There is a version for men & women that you can find on our Amazon page under “The KYD Reading List” amazon.com/shop/keepyourdaydream
📣📘Or you can get the book for FREE with an Audible Trial. We’ve been listening to books for 5 years through this program and love it! bit.ly/KYD-Free-Book

I appreciate you pointing out the handicap accessible areas!!!! Soooo sooooo many disABLED folks on the road....like me 🤗
Driving to Alaska has never been on my bucket list, but seeing your videos may change that. Such beautiful scenery!...and Caleb is such a cutie!
This reminded of a Far Side cartoon where there were all these bears and wild animals looking at a bunch of tourists getting off the tour bus, with the caption, "Alaska - Welcome to the Food Chain". Great video, but don't forget you ARE lower on the food chain when you're in Alaska. Have fun, be safe.
Thanks for another great video.
You have become our Sunday Night Show.
Much better than anything the networks have to offer.
Our fifth wheel sits in our driveway waiting for our next trip, but
living on a ranch keeps our trips few and short.
Your videos chase away our traveling blues.
Have a safe trip.
OMG it's amazing. I was so engrossed, like watching a movie, that I wasn't even expecting the end time to show up.
The whole family sits around the TV to watch you guys everyweek
👍 Love hearing that!
I sit in front of the TV to watch your whole family every week.
Welcome to our province! I loved the comment about Trish's driving - gotta get there... Oh look a good place to stop - What? Where? Trish, you've earned a special place in this gotta-get-there guy's heart!
Rain and fog! I’m surprised. Love seeing the amount of sunlight. Caleb, you are a hoot! I enjoy all your adventures. Already looking forward to next week! Have a great ride!
Looks amazing! I wanted to thank you for mentioning things like wheelchair accessibility. My daughter uses one and we are always on the lookout for places she can visit with us.
I just love Caleb. He is a great kid and hilarious!
That was fantastic! The scenery, the hot springs, and the old newsreels. Great video.
The best part of the week!
So amazing! Love the views and the hot springs. What a dream come true! Can't wait to see more!
Great video! Watching you guys an lessjunk more journey!
Always looking forward to your episodes on Sunday. Hopefully I’ll see you on the road some day and say hello. Have a great time in Alaska. God bless.
I adopted a ruby Cavalier 5 years ago and she is an absolute doll. She is an awesome traveler and a conversation starter in every campground we visit.
The reaction / faces from the back seat are HILARIOUS! He is such a character. Safe travels - look us up if you happen through the Willamette Valley, Oregon on your way back!
Never ever tire of your vids.
Fun, entertaining, informative and it always seems like viewer is right there with you.
( I really needed that hot springs day. Thanks) 😊😊😊
Been waiting all week for this!!!
Another great vlog. Plenty of rain. Very good roads. The hot springs looked so inviting, even in the rain. Be safe. Waiting for next week.
Love watching your family travel and love that is real life. Can't wait to see the next video. Hope you all have fun.
I love your videos. I can't wait until Sunday to see what you guys have been up to all week 👍
This is on the top of my "places to go" list. As a newbie "weekend" RVer (1 dad, 3 boys and 1 dog), we are taking baby steps (local campsites/state parks), but I hope to one day take the long trip up to Alaska. Keep up the great videos. Ya'll stay safe!
This brings a lot of good memories 1971. Travis, Air Force Base, California orders to go to Alaska. We got to Dawson Creek found out the orders got canceled go to Whitehorse and turn around and went back to California and open road. 1 ton truck. Good memories now it’s 1923. Thank you for the videos.
I'm a long time Alaska resident (45+ years) so always like seeing how Alaska is portrayed in CZcams videos. Really enjoyed the video and look forward to seeing your upcoming videos from the trip. Great channel! And again, welcome to Alaska. :)
Thank you for such great videos and inspirational messages! We've been watching for a while, and finally decided to start working towards our dream of full time RV life!
Thanks so much for sharing. I look forward to your videos each week. Headed out with my wife on our longest trip yet tomorrow. SLowly pushing the distance and duration on the Camper I am restoring. Thanks for the inspiration. ( yeah... you have been.
)
Wonderful video! Anxious for next Sunday’s. Have safe travels 😊🇺🇸
"Only child" is hanging in there well. I appreciate his sense of humor. Liard hot springs now on the list. Appreciate the video, many thanks. :-)
Cliffhanger.. ugh.. I want more.. lol. So cool to see all the animals up close. Do you guys catch Caleb's mocking while editing.. too funny, he cracks me up.
Loved the old clips and the intro music was soooo nice, Marc. What a fun trip this is turning out to be....stay safe, be happy. :-)
Another awesome video! I'm never ready for them to be over so until next Sunday, happy & safe trails.
Really digging the travel progress/update graphics.
Between you and ljmj those hot springs look amazing
Another great video from the #1 CZcams vloggers ever! MVP’s 😜 (I am a little biased but that doesn’t count)
Fun video!!! Can't wait to see more!!! ❤️
Great Video, Loved to see the Hot Springs, and the Bison with baby running beside the road. Very Cool. Have Fun!
great episode ..this is why i love watching you guys..beautiful places and friendly faces;)
Wonderful way of showing us Alaska.... great footage as always. Loved the hot springs and wildlife. I’m soaking up all your advice so my husband and I can use it when we start full timing. I’m looking up these books you mentioned too. Bet there is never a dull moment with Caleb.... LOL 😂
Happy and safe travels!
Can't wait, next year for us. Keep em coming...
Alaska the final frontier, Because RV's don't float, we encountered the worst storm i have been through on our way there, you guys should do a storm tips video when you get time. we spent about three weeks just helping the locals having an RV in a storm isn't cool but if it survives it's a true blessing. The people that had RV's trucks,Jeeps and suv's really came thru during that time, just a memory that came back from our trip up there. sorry loved the video,
Hot springs looked wonderful! 👍🌿 Thank you for sharing 💕 love your videos 🌅
Another great video! Looks like so much fun.
Thanks for another great trip to Alaska video and the entertainment from Kaleb in the backseat and on the monument.
Yay my Sunday is complete
Beautiful scenery!
It’s fun watching you and ljmj and the different roads and perspectives on The trip north. Thanks
Caleb seems to be enjoying that entire back seat to himself! Safe travels!
I just found you guys today and I’m glad I did. What you are doing is a dream that I hope to accomplish with my family. Have a blessed trip and can’t wait for new videos!!
Welcome. The playlist are best to watch in order. There is a playlist for each season.
I completely agree with you and I too want to go on a trip
Your videos just get better everytime!
Excited!
Love the videos, keep them coming. We traveled in our RV to Alaska with our English Setter (Cotton) in 2015. You have had more rain and traffic in this one episode than we saw our entire trip. On our return trip we took hwy 37 out of Watson Lake to hwy 16 to hwy 97 to hwy 1 and back into the US just above Seattle on Int 5. It was an entirely different view of Canada and all wilderness. Have Fun enjoy your adventure.
That was so fun watching you all driving. That was more fun than you where thinking it would be. Loved the hot springs. Bye the way Caleb is a cute ham...
Love, love, love YOUR videos!!!!!
It will be very helpful when WE go 🎶“North to Alaska”🎶hopefully next year!!
Thanks for the insert of the old film of the Alaskan Highway!!! Loved it!
Entire family enjoyed this episode
You guys continue to add to our bucket list :). Loved the music and of course the entire video......
We literally count down on Sundays until you post your video! Please know there is much love out here for you guys!
Next summer you should do an upper Midwest tour (we are close to Canada! 😆)!
Thank you!
My Grandpa & extended family live in Tok! There isn't much there, probably why he has chosen to live there for 4 decades. He's known for toting his shot gun every where he goes, from the bar to the grocery store. They're a different breed up there but we love them! 😉 Safe travels.
Great video guys! We just did a 2200 mile in 4 days marathon from Colorado to Wisconsin to trade and pick up our new to us trailer. You definitely don't get to fully enjoy this great country at that pace but we had to do what we had to do. So happy to keep moving our dream along. Can't do what you are doing but we will live for the weekends and trips! someday hope to follow your footsteps up north! Keep going and stay safe! Love what you guys are doing.
OH MY GOSS!! Has the Alaska Hwy changed since I drove it, the 1st time was mid Winter in 1977 I think. And then I drove it again 3 more times. Another time in the Winter, and two times in the Summer. And back then the road was "NOT PAVED" at all like you are having it now in this trip of yours. To see the Alcan Hwy, paved allmost 100% is really something!! Back when it was not Paved, it was so much better to drive it in the Winter Time that was for sure. As in the Summer the Road was a "SEA OF MUD" and I have photo's of my Car that you can't even tell what color my car is dur to all the Mud that covered my Car. I was in the US Army and stationed at Fort Wainwright, at Fairbanks, AK. I loved my time I was up there for sure.
Love the dancing Caleb Alaskan Highway marker! 👍🏼 😄
So refreshing to watch from back home ... AZ is blazing ... I hope you make it to "the" Peninsulaaaaaaaaa, XO Kelly
Such a great episode!! Awesome job. Loved the locations map where your headed and where you are.
From Dawson creek to fort saint john and from there to fort nelson...
Drove that hwy many-many times... 💕
Great video. Such amazing scenery. Very jealous.
Caleb - need to see more commentary and funny actions from you in the back seat. Perfect opportunity to provide some comic relief while parents are being serious. Haha.
Thanks for the fair coverage of the road, the main thing I was curious about. Nice wildlife sightings too.
Thank you guys i so enjoy watching this beautiful family i wish more families would have nore quality time like this. Safe travels and look forward for the next video xoxo 😀
This is a beautiful drive. Too bad it was raining. The mountain ranges are spectacular. Love watching your video footage. It brings back fond memories of growing up in Whitehorse and just recently driving up there 2 years ago from Grande Prairie, AB which is our home now. Liard Hot Springs is definitely a must, so happy you had the opportunity to experience it. We just purchased a Reflection 303RLS and will take possession next week (Aug. 25th) I can't wait to begin to make memories like these.
Great video, look forward to them every week!
Awesome video! I can't wait to see what awaits you next!
What an amazing adventure!! Sure getting us excited to take a trip up to Alaska,,,, from Ottawa, Canada,,,
So loving this journey with you. You have a great way of making everything interesting! I have been to Alaska but flew to Anchorage and took the railroad to Fairbanks with a side trip to Denali. Have to drive it next time. My favorite part of Sunday!
Cavaliers are terrific travelers!
Love Liard Hot Springs! It was snowing when we went March 2017. My grandma still tells me stories about when they got stationed at Elmendorf AFB and they trekked up the Alcan in the 50’s when it was a dirt road and they had there camper. Semi trucks would have to pull them up the big hills. We miss Alaska everyday!
Thank you so much for the content. With all the negative stuff in pop culture, great to have positive stuff. You guys inspire us.
What an exciting journey ya'all are on! I have also been viewing the video's from LJMJ, on their trip to Alaska, and it amazes me the quality of drone footage you both get while traveling! I plan to order both those books, although I don't know if that trip will ever come to fruition for me, since I have a truck that is now 203,000 mile's, can't afford a newer one, and pull the 2011 Gulfstream Visa 23RBK, (26'). Think I would need to plan the $$ for a new engine/transmission, as well as other upgrades, to make that long journey. However, if I don't get to make that dream come true, it is video's like your's and LJMJ that take me there, if only for a few moment's in time. I thank you for that!
Thank you for sharing your adventures! I’m really enjoying the videos. It’s almost like being there.😁
We are loving our new (to us) travel trailer. Never had one before so your videos are coming in handy!We’ll be traveling a bit in August for vacation.
I look forward to your next video!
Hello from Teslin, Yukon. Awesome video. So glad you’re enjoying our beautiful part of the world. Happy and safe journeys.
We loved Liard hot springs! Muncho lake was awesome too.
Its Awesome drive and Alaska i lived there for 37 years...Love it there...........Have fun
That's crazy! Where did you live?
Big lake for the most part....Out side of Wasilla,AK...An up South Knik-Goose Bay Road.....Grew up drilling water wells with the family business, and then in 07 my only brother died...
You two are hilarious; total opposites of what Mom and Dad were like when we were on a trip. Dad was always the one who wouldn't stop while Mom and I were always needing a pit stop. hahahaha
One of the MUST learns for my boy is driving a stick shift, LOVE the comment when he said the log was a stick shift. Sitting here at the fire station on a weekend researching trips, I had to laugh out loud on that one.
Wow what an amazing journey you three are on and all that beautiful scenery. I got to say the Hot Springs look amazing I would have to spend a couple of days there LOL. Always look forward to your travel VLOGS they are absolutely the best. Be Safe and looking forward to your next VLOG👍🏻🤠👍🏻🇺🇸
ahh memories, my mom and I drive from Yuma to Denali in 1990. it was the best trip I've been on, we were gone for a month and camped out everyday.
Awesome video yall, we are moving to Alaska soon, can't wait to get there. We have family already there. Can't wait to see more.
Awesome. So beautiful, hated to see the video end.
Just plain awesome, Thanks for sharing!!
I just found your video. My new favorite! I especially enjoy the interesting stops along the way, i.e. the hot springs, etc. Thanks for a great video.
Liard looks amazing, but oh wow would our Lab want to go in there and yes, the rain added to it! When we lived in Scotland, my mom had to put foil in our windows so we would think it was night - LOVE it!
Loving your journey thus far!
Wow... Great video, guys! I'm really feeling the urge to go driving in the rain right now....
Great video Mark and Trisha the monsoons are here in cave creek enjoy the cool weather.
I remember them well!
Your animals LOL... Hard driving, maximum recreation, hard facts, maximum explanation. Greatings from Norway. 😎👍
Love the drone footage, it always puts the wow factor to your episodes. The wife just ordered the Mavic Pro for my birthday gift this weekend. I can't wait to put it to use at our swim meet this weekend. Cant wait for the next episode!
Caleb - you are a very COOL KID! I wish my son was as outgoing and confident as you are at your age! Ya gotta love hot springs!
Been to AK four times but never have been able to drive there. Would love to make that trip someday. Thanks for the great video and taking us along on the journey...
I just stumbled across your channel. My wife and I will be purchasing a tow vehicle and 5th wheel in about a year, and will be heading off to full-time. Alaska in in our sights for our second or third year, and I have already purchased and looked through the two books you mention in this video. I can tell that they will be invaluable resources. I'm excited to watch many of your other videos. Thank you so much.
Brings back memories of my trip to Denali Park.
Ahhh, Liard Hot Springs is my happy place. We stopped there in the middle of a four week motorcycle tour and it was like elixir of life to our tired aching bones. Good luck debunking the myths... they're there for a reason!! LOL PS Caleb cracks me up every. single. episode.
This has to be one of my most memorable trips in my life and I have travelled many places in the world but this was so amazing every one should go video is fantastic but truly doesnt do the vistas justice eh. cheers to you guys keep up the great work
