    Alone, this video was a work of art. The weather was so dynamic ...setting the mood for the earthquake. The rain pouring over the windshield ran like tears of grief over the devstation ahead. Leaving the ruins was like a wound finally healing, and the tears stopped. Powerful, thank you.❣️

    Love all of your videos! I've been watching and you give me hope for the life that I want as a single woman. I'm 32 and recently left an abusive relationship after 10 years. I have been wanting to move somewhere beautiful like Alaska for a while now but put the dream down for my relationship. Now I can do whatever I want and you give me inspiration! Just watching you do it all makes me feel better about my choice of staying single and living my life the way I want. Great video and great job!

    We were in Valdez less then two weeks ago. We traveled Alaska for two weeks, visiting from Ohio. So gorgeous! We ate at the Fat Mermaid and spent the day on the Lu Lu Belle, going back to the Columbia Glacier. We also went to the Valdez Museum and learned about the 1964 earthquake. So interesting. We also went through Keystone Canyon. I have a little video of Bridal Veil Falls. I recognized it when you showed it.

    Breathtaking Alone, simply stunning. I really enjoyed learning the history of the earthquake, although enjoy doesn't seem the right word. The scenery never gets boring from the magnificent trees to the majestic glaciers, it's a continual feast for the eyes. I would love to experience it just once in person. To feel the bite of the cold and crispness of the air must be an experience for the senses. Thank you Alone for taking us on an adventure 🏔❄🌊

    I was just in Valdez a month ago. My daughter lives in Eagle River, so we took the drive from Eagle River. It was the most magnificent views I've ever seen! We stayed in a beautiful cabin there. While there we went on a Glacier and wildlife cruise into Prince William Sound to see the Columbia Glacier! There's no words to describe the beauty! By the way have you ever been to The Prospector there in Valdez? Really nice store!
    Your road trip was beautiful!

    The scenery on the way was beautiful.

    Hola👋 from southern New Mexico🌵🌶️ ...What a fantastic video..I love the street lights that look like bells and actually the whole video was breathtaking🤗 63 must have been after my 8th grade still on the farm them. Wasn't Valdez also where the big oil spill was? I use Dawn soap good for dogs that get skunked along with peroxide. It was great to see the cool rain weather. Its been up in the triple digits here with many people getting heat stroke. Thanks for taking us along. Enjoyed it a lot and will👀 watch it again. 💖🤗🙏
