Whiteface Mountain | Bolton Landing - Lake George | NEW Workstation in VAN
(EPISODE 257)
ℹ️ About this episode:
On this episode of LivinRvision, we leave Mirror Lake Inn and make our way to the summit of Whiteface Mountain where we catch some amazing views! 🗻
We thought the weather conditions were going to hinder us from enjoying these views, but they actually made for some very rare scenery that was absolutely beautiful!
Our next stop takes you to Bolton Landing, New York, on the gorgeous Lake George. Our friend AJ from Grech RV gave us a great suggestion on where to eat, which he was right, the food was VERY good! We only had a couple hours to spend here today but we were so glad we did! We strolled around the Bolton Landing street lined boutiques, bakeries and restaurants and then walked down to the boat docks to take in the beautiful and serene views of Lake George. 🚤⛰️
Now it was time to make our way to a Thousand Trails campground that is part of the Encore properties. This is where we will spend the week working before moving on to our next destination. This campground is a beautiful place to stay with many amenities, lakefront camping sites and VERY GOOD FOOD! 🍔🍕🥗 (Yes, I know…a campground with very good food. 🤷🏽🤷🏼♀️ Yes, mind blowing 🤯).
Before we leave this campground, we share a new workspace idea that I (Brian) have been trying out for the last month which has been working out really well. No more sore neck! 🎉🥳

I spent my summers as a boy from 1956-63 attending a camp in Lake Luzerne, NY. We would take 9N to Lake George/Bolton Landing every Thursday for picnicking and swimming. We aways sat on that large stone outcrop and ate our lunch (what memories your video brought back!). In those days you could take the boat (Ticonderoga) from Ft.William Henry all the way up to Bolton Landing. Thanks so much for this.

Please ask Grech to build a larger front workstation. Put isotherm dual door fridge under the kitchen counter

@LivinRVision 10 ай бұрын

That would be a great idea for some people, because it would then open up the current fridge area for a pantry. The issue they are having is a lot of people already want the microwave higher. Something about food I guess. Things that people get into often, they want higher. So the fridge being low would likely be an issue and harder to see into and grab things behind other food without bending over or crouching down. The idea would work great for us and we’d love having the pantry which this would create OR a slightly bigger closet and still room for a small pantry/food storage. They have many ideas pass through but they still have to think of the majority and it just doesn’t make financial sense right now to create multiple floor plans of the same model. Great idea though! 👍🏻👍🏻

Last year (2022) on my 70th birthday in July, I hiked from the parking lot up to the peak of Whiteface. What started out as 3 flights of stairs quickly turned into rock climbing, holding onto a railing. Needless to say, I took the elevator down. We stayed at a campground in Lake George, and The area, especially Bolton Landing and the road to Ticonderoga, are beautiful.

Sorry you missed out on not having the time to take part in one of the many ways of getting out on the water. The big cruise ship you can take in some places runs really close to the cliffs and between some of the islands and looks scary, but in some places the water is 196' deep.

Oh you guys we have gone back and watched your first episodes today after hitting the mini Las Vegas RV show at South Point next to Oasis RV where we are this week. Checked out a Grech Strata Ion, nice, at 6'3" just able to access it & actually fit in the bathroom shower combo! We admit we must stick with our Winnebago View. We are watching the Mission Inn episode which is amazing, we had their brunch years ago! Ron & Nancy Reagan had their honeymoon there! Hugs to you both, be safe on the road, we did Calico, & Peggy Sue's, the pizza was excellent btw! Back home to the wine country Temecula soon. Short needed get away. Always inspired to get out there and travel thanks! We did the Palm Springs Zoo & Shermans in March loved the coconut cream pie! 🥧

I've been there twice and had a great time there. One trip we where traveling with two dogs and found a cool motel that not only allowed dogs, but the whole place was chain link fenced in so they could run free, there was two pools, one was just for dogs, inside the room there where food and water bowls, and the coolest thing was the mini bar was stocked with dog treats. (at an added cost if you took any)

BTW, I can assure everyone that Brian (and Michelle) take meticulous care. We are now, occasionally, getting recognition of "Stella & Wally". Number one question...."Do you know them & are they really that nice" . Yes, absolutely, they are that nice ~ Hope to see y'all on the road. V&W

So we hope to go again with other family members soon. You guys find the coolest places to go as far as I am concerned. Thank you for sharing.

I'm noticing in your video's that the 4 cylinder appears to be louder the the previous V6. Has the changed to the smaller engine changed your opinion on the van? Also, did Grech come up with a fix for the secondary alternator belt issue. Have you had any more trouble since you had a new belt put on? Also I would like to mention I like that you are including more video of the van and its options lately and the positives and negatives of the B Class van life. I really enjoy the places you visit but probably unlike most I look forward to any info on the Grech that you may include each week also. Those of us still doing our research on purchasing a Grech enjoy any an all input of the van. Again, you do an amazing job with editing your video and music. Best on you tube!

@LivinRVision 10 ай бұрын

We didn’t notice a change in noise level so if there is any it must be very minimal. Also, we change cameras/microphones often which does make a difference which I can tell during editing. As mentioned in the previous video about the alternator, this isn’t something that has been a known issue. We are the first and only ones we or Grech has heard of having this issue with the 4 cyl. Please be sure to not skip over any video we release if you are looking for little nuggets now and then about the van. We include things here and there often. Also, what you are experiencing is a time when we change models to a new model and we talk more about it in the first few videos each time usually. After that, we include little things here and there but we try not to keep talking about the same things over and over. There is only so much we can talk about unless something new comes up. We have to stay true to the way we do things and make sure we update you and everyone else if anything new arises with the van. We appreciate the compliments and hope you continue enjoying the videos.

@cliffthomas1389 10 ай бұрын

I've went back and watched all your video's sometime last year when you moved into your first Grech van. So I've seen them all! My wife cracks up and always ask how my Rv/sprinter friends are doing😊 Thanks for the response. I look forward visiting a lot of the places you guys go. Lake Placid looks amazing. Safe travels!@@LivinRVision

@LivinRVision 10 ай бұрын

Forgot to answer your other question…our opinion has not changed. The vans are just alike so there isn’t much more different other than the new 4cyl which we love and gets great MPG which we’ve shared of course. The new 9 speed transmission helps with this also. Then there is the new AC unit that is the “icing on the cake”. Those are the main differences that we by far love more than the older models so far. We have not had any other issues and if/when we do, we will be sure to let everyone know right away just like we did with the alternator. Sincerely, Your “RV Sprinter Friends” 😂😉

@johnbradley6179 same latch. no magnetic latch. But they have since put a recessed table into the cabinet by the sink that is a much bigger table now. They are putting that in all the 2024 models now after we received this model. The one behind our seat remains the same which has been very handy for us. As mentioned, we leave it up.
