    What an amazing adventure. Great to see the bond Chad has with his daughters. You both looked a little choked up when you realized what a special day this was for the whole family.

    As an 18-year-old boy (45 years ago) and ink barely dry on my driver's license, I drove from Arkansas to St George, Utah! BUT, at about 10pm (pitch dark) I ran out of gas on Hwy 98 out of Paige, AZ with absolutely NOTHING within sight! So I crawled in the backseat of my jalopy and sang along with my 8-track and waited for morning. Only a few minutes passed and a trucker came along and stopped. He was nice enough to drive into Big Water and send a fellow out with some gas to get me up and running again. Viola....on the road again, I enter Zions Canyon about midnight! White-knuckling the switchbacks (that I had never seen in my life before, let alone the daylight) I drove Hwy 9 to St George. Arriving about 3 am! Ah, aren't memories great!!

    @secondwind75 Před 2 lety +11

    What a phenomenal trip. Always good to see the girls. They’ve grown into lovely young ladies. That chopper ride was extremely special to surprise them with and it showed in their pretty ear to ear smiles. That shot of Chad and them looking over the butte was perfect. And, Tara, the one of you looking out over the landscape at the end also is worthy of a nice frame. Such beautiful country. Like you said, no words to express such a gift. Enjoy your time together. Looking forward to more next week. FWFS ⚓️ Troy

    Awesome video !! Love it !! Hello !! we learned about your channel from Yuvi, owner of Wild Duck Campground in Scarborough, Maine. We met him when we stayed at his brand new Fransted Family Campground in NH that he and his wife just bought 5--1-2021. We just got home from staying at Wild Duck Campground and we just finished watching your Maine videos and we have a lot of your videos to watch. We are RV newbies and we are starting to explore.

    At the 28:05 mark: "We're out of gas, we have to walk back..." LMAO..... Such fun memories you're creating for your girls Chad !!! and Tara you're a great Step-Mom, I know how challenging it can be at times (my wife is a Step-Mom to my three older boys), and I'm a Step-Dad to my youngest son, who turned 29 in July. We now help create family memories that include 4 grandkids.
    It's been several years since I was last in Zion's, but I have MANY FOND MEMORIES of my time spent there... Especially walking the entire length of the "Mountain Tunnel" using a "Glow-in-the-dark" frisbee as our guide (for new readers, see my comments at the bottom of their "Zion's Motorcycle Ride" video). ONCE AGAIN CHAD AND TARA... ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO !!!!!

From what tools to have, the planning the day before towing (t24) you’re cool calm collected demeanor that I admire! You make the stress of RVing look enjoyable. Thank you for taking the time to make such fun, informative, and addictive channel for us new guys. Safe travels guys 👍.

    I can relate to your helicopter ride near Zion. Many years ago when my wife and I owned an airplane, we flew into Bryce Canyon Airport for a couple of days before going to Page AZ for a fly-in. A friend with us caught a picture of our bird with Bryce in the background (had to stay outside of the park boundary due to flight restrictions). It was stunningly beautiful to see it from the air.
