    I'm glad you were able to see Rainier. Wonderful video !!!!
  • @HernandezHitTheRoad
    Wow what a great video! Thank you so much for sharing! Iโ€™ll be going to Mt Rainer NP in 2 weeks and man Iโ€™m so excited lol ๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @mariamjehn7071
    This is my favorite National Park yet!! Thereโ€™s just something about all the wildflowers wildlife scenery!! Perfection!! ๐Ÿ˜Šโคโคโคโคโค
  • @TerryAnnOnline
    Howard fascinated with the squirrel with white eyeliner had me cracking up lol๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @pglen6042
    Wonderful you had clear weather to actually see Rainier!
  • @karppadiem7014
    Glad you finally got some clear views and epic pics! Is definitely going on 'the list'. โค The scenery was fabulous and I love marmots and ground squirrels. ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’• -Troy & Aimee
  • @LucariosTrainer
    I can't believe how well documented and produced your videos are. I'm planning a cross country road trip this year in a minivan camper I'll be converting and living in full time. From Florida, to Maine, then ending in Washington to visit Ranier+Cascades+Olympic National Parks (Plus several others along the way) before the Fall weather starts closing things. You're videos give me such a great overview of the parks I plan to visit on my route, in such an entertaining and aesthetic video format
  • @MrfiX725
    Oooo, Blackberry cobbler... that looked GUUUD!!!
  • @virginialemm864
    Hi you two! Many, many thanks again for taking us to Mt. Ranier N.P! Even though you had to wait for the fog to clear, wasnโ€™t Mt. Ranier absolutely magnificent? Iโ€™ve been lucky to visit twice, but the first time when I was a child, it was SOOOOO foggy throughout the entire park, we couldnโ€™t see much of anything. Plus, it was extremely cold, too. Second time, I was able to experience Ranierโ€™s beauty fully, with a crystal clear day. Iโ€™m surprised the ranger said the only difference between a Chipmunk and a Golden Mantle ground squirrel was the white eye ringโ€ฆChipmunks are actually smaller in size and have a pointier shaped face and head! You have been so lucky with your National Parks tours, with the ability to actually stay in the parks and have pretty good weather too. Youโ€™ve made Mt. Ranier even MORE beautiful with your ever-professional videography. We always look forward to your weekly Sunday posts not only for your travels, but for your happy smiling facesโ€ฆjust makes our day! Love Ya, Virginia
  • @mikenowak2360
    Wow you have given us great way to review these parks. Excited to see the next one. So glad we found you guys on RV unplugged.
  • @johneason6540
    I was there May 2021, bright spring day, heavy snow melt, hike to the John Muir camp, just below the summit. Beautiful park. Yes, I studied the wonderland trail. I added it to my bucket list.
  • @calledtojourney
    So glad you got to see the mountain and flowers at Paradise! It's sad that you missed Sunrise, which is beautiful also, but Paradise is the more beautiful of the two. About a decade ago, we drove up to Sunrise, and we took turns coasting on our bikes back down the road. It was epic, a truly unforgettable experience!
  • @randystarr7705
    I loved Storytime with Howard! That could be a regular on your videos.
  • @peggysuegiggles9383
    i was there a few years ago and we did see some bears playing in the meadow off the trail. so a beautiful place. thanks for sharing.
  • @jasonmorang7338
    First off, I love your channel. Canโ€™t wait to be a full timer someday. 2 questions for ya. Do you ever run into issues at campgrounds while leaving your dogs for the day? I know youโ€™re usually on hook ups or have the auto start generator, but most of the campgrounds by me donโ€™t allow you to leave your pets. Also, what happened to the Winni Vista?
  • @TravelSmallLiveBig
    Oh my - your dinner at The Inn - wow! Trying to see the top of Rainer reminds me of trying to see the top of Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica. Pure luck & persistence !
  • @lisaevans5840
    30 years ago, when we moved to Seattle, I worked with a nurse who would stay at Paradise Inn every Christmas. Back then, there were no cell phones, let alone wifi and internet. They came to unplug for a week, from the television.
  • @karenkusel7817
    Welcome to Washington! Iโ€™m so glad the mountain was out for you. โค I canโ€™t wait to see your video in Olympic.
