    I just love this channel. I really enjoy the videos, the experience and Will & Dawn. Dawn cracks me up! Will does a great job of describing and getting a great video produced. I know there has to be a lot of editing and the music, pics and comments are really enjoyable to watch. Thank you for taking your time to produce great content 👍🏻

    Love your videos!! My Sister and I stayed in Keystone when we took that trip 2 years ago. I really love South Dakota!! Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, Needle Highway - they are all a MUST SEE!!! The Fort Hayes all day tour (breakfast, bus tour, and dinner show) was the GREATEST travel day of my life!! I hope to go back. Thank you for making these videos of where I've been to relive it!!

    I am so glad you enjoyed the Black Hills. You probably don't remember, but we met you several years ago at the island, and my son called you guys the do-ba-doops (because of your old intro). We have since moved to the black hills. We visit Keystone a few times a year, and it always makes us miss Gatlinburg! Glad gave you the same feel.

  • @debbicox2776

    I think I had more fun in your Dakota video then any other. Course it brought memories. No not train. That's expensive! Thanks for taking it!

    @teresacantrell2024 Před měsícem

    This is definitely on my bucket list. I’m so glad Dawn got to go. She was so excited, I could hear it in her voice. What time did you get there, before the crowds got there. My cousin went and it was packed.

  • @vegasstoker9647
    @vegasstoker9647 Před měsícem

    South Dakota is where I had everything booked for this summer. My daughter begged me to change it to Pigeon Forge so I had to cancel everything and book all over. We just got back late Friday. Loved the Blue Moose food was amazing. Big Bear Rafting was fun. Pirates Voyage was so much fun. Train ride to see Abu at Jayell Ranch highly recommend. Arbors at the Island was a great hotel. Breakfast at Regan's was delicious. Take care Will & Dawn

    Did you get a chance to see the Crazy Horse Memorial? It is similar to Mt. Rushmore and not too far away.

    I visited Mt. Rushmore in 2018. It was pretty cool. There’s a Washington Profile nearby as well where they were going to originally build Mt. Rushmore. I stayed in Rapid City. I went to Wind Cave NP as well and the town of Wall. I think I had ice cream in Keystone? But I kinda forgot.

It’s all lit up and patriotic songs playing. We were there on a day it was 103 degrees. But loved seeing all of it. Thx Will and Dawn. 😊

    I could put a hundred ❤ on here and it still wouldn't convey the way I felt when I saw Mount Rushmore. I could tell Dawn was excited and so was I. I've never been there but the video made me feel like I was there, especially since no one else was around! Thank you for sharing America with the rest of us. ❤❤

    I sure am enjoying these videos... Back in 2008 my wife and I rode our motorcycles out there we had a blast. We tent camped mostly at night. BUT there were a couple night when the weather was going to be bad we stayed in motels. You kids keep having fun and enjoy every moment of it. Remember that every moment is a gift from GOD. That's why we call it the present... Love you kids much, ne blessed in Jesus name... BBE..
