    Thank you so much for making this video! I was one of the four individual litigants for a 10 year lawsuit against the Federal government in order to protect Box Canyon. (We won!😄) Now I'm terribly arthritic and miss the canyon and kayaking to Blue Heart SO MUCH! I shared with my nephew who's never been here (I live downriver in the canyon below Bliss). Because of your effort I can say...see? See??? Blue Heart was pure white sand and blue water when I was young. The vegetation is the result of local dairy and fish hatchery run offs that added nutrients to the river. Still... it's still magical. A cold swim on a hot day, used to be always just you and your friends. If you hike the canyon trail in the summer you will meet rattle snakes...so be on guard and walk with a snake stick. Thank you, again!

    Due to injuries, I will most likely never be able to hike or go on an adventure like this again. So Its really great to follow you as you are on this journey, I get to live vicariously through these videos. Thank you

    This one was bittersweet. I lost my Dad almost 2 years ago. In 1983 he moved us from Denver to Seattle. Whenever he would go back to CO he would always.... always breakdown in his vehicles at Glens Ferry. I don4 know what it was about that town lol.

    You’re one of the most genuine CZcamsr in this genre . Don’t change. I stopped watching other similar channels after figuring out that they are full of crap. The other youtubers would be selling us the $150 crocs and whatever new product that they all seem to only use for one video.

    One of my favorite videos to date. Haven’t been to box canyon or blue heart springs in years so it was especially nice to see the drone footage. I grew up in the Buhl area. Had never been to the three island crossing. They used to do a reenactment of the crossing every year. That stopped a long time ago. I think someone was actually killed. The craters were completely new to me. Really enjoy your videos and all the information. Keep up the awesome work. Have a fun holiday weekend

    • @SUVRVing
      @SUVRVing  Před 2 lety +1

    At age 82 and poor health, my travel day are over, so I really enjoy watching your adventures and daydreaming. Often, at the end of an adventure, you tease for next day, but I haven't worked out how to jump to that "next day" in CZcams. That's frustrating.

I did a solo Idaho trip back in 2019 and hiked along the rim of Box Canyon... didn't really know you could hike to the bottom... oh well. I am doing a solo western North and South Dakota trip in September and your past videos on that area have helped me a ton with what to see. Thanks!

    Great video Tristan. Having Blue Heart Springs to yourself, mostly, that's some kind of miracle. Three Island Crossing is great to visit. I loved the interpretive center. It told a great story and didn't gloss over the history. It told the good and the bad of that area. If you camp at the park though you need white nose machine. Trains pass by the park all through the night and blast their horns.

    • @SUVRVing
      @SUVRVing  Před 2 lety
