Wow have to chime in here. Amy and I got married in the finger lakes. Married at the Catholic Church and reception at the Watkins Glenn harbor hotel. Love that region of NY. The gorges are really cool. Lots of great scenic places to go. The wineries are so fun. Not sure about did the auction style haha. I do love that they mostly look down towards the lake. Thanks for the memories.
The Finger Lakes is my favorite place in the USA.
Going to the Finger Lakes this weekend and found your video! I loved the music! Just subscribed! Cheers!
Finger lakes region is a beautiful place to visit in the summer months and winter. They have some nice ski resorts in the area as well. Bristol mountain has an elevation of 1200 ft and great ski runs. We come down from Canada and really enjoy all the different activities Finger Lakes offer throughout the different seasons. Enjoyed watching your video.
Thanks John! We just got back from Vermont love the snowy winter going out west soon! Hope all is well!
If you get a chance to come back, Weis has done some major additions to the place. I was there a few days ago, they keep on building. Wonderful outdoor area now. I live about 10 minutes away.
Cheers from Brooklyn!
My girlfriend and I have loved going up to many of these same vineyards in the Finger Lakes the past few years and it’s great to see you two had a great time as well.
She and I have been binge watching all of your videos lately and cannot wait for the content that’s to come.
Safe travels!
Thank you Eliot! We appreciate it! Finger lakes are beautiful!
WOW! Great travelogues. I have been watching the videos from Maine backwards. So good to see some travel videos of the northeast. I am from the Albany area. Beautiful van! Cheers!
Nice video....looks like a great experience.....
Thanks Steven!! Appreciate it!
Really enjoying the travels! Having watched your entire van build series. It's really awesome to see the transition from that to this! I think your channel is about to blow up! Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks man really appreciate it!!!
Bonjour de la France j'adore votre van tour
Thank you Magloire! Bonjour!
Taylor looks Italian and from Jersey. I’d say somewhere up North.
Oh man your videos are so inspirational, I can't wait to get my van.
Haha thank you!!!! Best of luck with your build once you get it!
Great Video Guys. Love the way you roll!
Thank you Jill! Really appreciate it and thanks for watching!!!
Awesome places guys. Very nice. It looks cold. 89 degrees in Las Vegas today. 😅
Thank you Maggie! It was pretty cold at night, thank god for the espar heater!
Great Videos!! I just stumbled across this channel and now I'm watching all the videos. Keep them coming
Thanks Jack really appreciate it!!!
Hello from Wales (uk) Brilliant content, really enjoying your channel! Great van build by the way 👍 keep it coming 😊
Thank you!! New vids every Tuesday!
I’ve watched a lot of vanlife videos, you guys are killing it. Can you link me up with the drone you fly. The drone footy is fantastic
Thank you Chris!!! Drone link in the description! Dji mavic pro 2 👌🏻
Really enjoyed the video! Been thinking about joining Harvest Host, looks like this would be a good area to give it a try.
we love it and definitely recommend it for the Finger Lakes!!!!! This is our referral if you haven't signed up yet! 🙂 harvesthosts.refr.cc/kevinmathers
Love your videos!!!! Keep’em coming!
Thank you we appreciate it!
Great video, I love that area, I spent many summers there. I hope you had a chance to see Letchworth gorge, its Amazing with a great restaurant at the top.
Always a thumbs up 👍
Thank you! We didn’t see Letchwlrth Gorge ... just did a quick google search and man I’m bummed we didn’t, looks amazing. I will add it to our list!
Great channel. Great video. Those two friends ...are they old friends or new friends you just met in your travels?
Thank you!!! Old friends!!
Great video! I really enjoy the drone footage and the little town at the beginning looks wonderful. I started my 2015 Ford Transit build in June and since you were always a few steps ahead of me I could just watch your video and get some ideas for my build. I’m at the point that I’m starting to look into an awning and mosquito nets for the sliding door, what a pain having to open and close that big door every few minutes when we’re camping. Anyway what are your thoughts on those and do you plan to make them an addition to your van?
Yes we did add it to the van on the sliding door so far, not sure if I’m going to add it to the back yet. Also, thanks for watching our vids, really appreciate it! How did your build turn out?
A bit disappointed you didn’t show any of the great town of Watkins Glen. Where is the Wellness facility?
Have you guys thought about joining Harvest hosts? Perfect for vans and wineries
Yes! We used it in this video actually at Weis Winery! We love it!
Fun time and great memories!!
Now that you guys have made a few trips in your van is there anything you wish you would have done or glad you did?? Or possibly something you would change? (Maybe a future video?)
Also how is your rustoleum Berliner holding up? Thanks again!!
Thanks Sherry! There are a few things I’d change and I think a video would be a good idea! But to name some, first would be to make the length of the bathroom a bit longer or to put the toilet on an elevated platform rather than build the ledge. It’s pretty tight when using the natures head. Also I’d make the door for the shower wider too. One thing I was I put more thought into was heating the water compartment area, we plan on taking the van skiing so keeping the plumbing lines from freezing is a major concern of mine
Thank you! I’ve been thinking about the heaters too. I’ve seen a few posts on it in Sara and Alex’s FB page and looking into it. Thanks again for responding! Looking forward to future videos!
Nice visit but lose the music....you are in some peaceful country up there.
Bit late I know but, if you can recall, how difficult was parking at sites in the finger lakes with your Sprinter? We're booked for a long weekend next month and were thinking of renting a car to get around and leave our Sprinter at the RV resort.
Harvest host all the way, we share our overnight parking map on our website if you subscribe to our email newsletter!
Are the finger lakes worth the trip?
It’s so hard to hear y’all when y’all are talking and then when the music comes on. the music just blares so loud.. I have to mute it. The sound is not that great. When y’all are speaking. If the volume was the same as when the music comes on, it would be perfect.
Great videos though. I feel like I’m living vicariously through y’all.
