Fun fact I really truly thought I'd only be gone for two weeks :-). I'm feeling extra grateful to be back and posting this week - our whole world has been changing rather quickly, and it's been weird not documenting the process through these videos - I'm excited to continue sharing our adventures through 2023, even if they look a little different than I thought they would lol. Tis the season for change I suppose. Anyways - I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday + new year season, and we'll be back sometime next week with another video 🎄🎉

HI Mariah, My husband and I enjoy watching your journey with your cute pup. My husband is a retired Chief from Cal-Fire, he is concerned about your new doors on your truck blowing shut on you on a windy day, he's seen people get seriously injured from and gust of wind slamming the doors closed. Just make sure you secure your doors if you are sitting or standing in the back of Steve, ha! Be safe, enjoy the ride. Blessings Patti and Dan

When you stop for the night . Go through the opening that you made from the box to the cab and if you take your seatbelt and loop it through the hand, wrist on the door and then loop through it and bring it back and lock it in on both your doors. It’s kind of a safety feature that their truck drivers do.

I am not sure quite where you are beyond the Sierras but here is a tip. I suspect the recent rains in California will have reached Death Valley. This means it will have the once in 20 year desert flower bloom. It would be really wonderful if one of the travelling youtubers could film this for us. If you are already heading more north then you will have to skip it. Best wishes for your journey.

I am so glad to hear you are back! I understood wanting to take time off for yourself and Finn. Taking care of yourself is always the priority before everything else. I am excited to see where you, Finn and Steve's will go for the next adventures :) If you feel you need time off to yourself. Don't be afraid to take it. A recharge is always a good thing. Most of us have forgotten how important a recharge to a human body is.

When you have a moment drive onto a Cat Scale at a truck stop. They will ask you if it’s your First weigh..you say yes. Then they will ask you for a truck number…you make one up. Then they will say ok and you go drive off the scale and park. Go inside to the counter and tell them your truck number. You will get a ticket with the weight. I say this, because you saw a sign that read no trucks. They are trying to save the roads and bridges. So they may have a weight restriction. If you know how much you weigh, you will get away with it, if your under the number. Good luck! Stay safe.

Instead, you were on a real vacation! Good for you! For some reason, I still want to help you put together your truck. Even though, I'm in the middle of the country and far from where you are!

I am so glad you are Ok. I and am sure others were concerned that you were all right. I fully understand about needing some time off to reset. Many years ago I lost a job unexpectedly, corporate reshuffle(was told I was safe). I took time to try to figure it out and a friend gave me a push in another direction. Whether or not it was the right one doesn't matter, I was back to myself, which is what you needed. I have relocated several times, no place is perfect, but as long as your happy with the situation, that is all that matters.
