Hey otwt! We stayed in a condo called The Palms at Seagrove Beach. It’s the beach our rook overlooked, but I promise, all the beach along this stretch of 30a looks just like this. Just book a spot in any of those towns and you will be happy, beach wise. Really just decide on the type of town you want to be based in. Seagrove is stretched out and basically, decentralized, making it a less crowded area, yet close enough to walk or ride to the other, centralized towns. It’s also very close to the Publix grocery store, as well as a convenience store / gas station. 😉

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. It was beginners luck. I have been listening to all suggestions from all you folks. Next up is Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I’ll try to have the video posted by December or January. I hope to do it justice, and make all you viewers pleased. Thanks for your compliment, sincerely. It means more to me than you know. 🥰 🫎 Anderson.

@@MooseAndersonProductions oh fantastic out neck of the woods!! It is beautiful! You will do it justice!!

Our neck of the woods

@@susanjenkins6628 It has been difficult planning as there is so much to see & do. I’m not sure how it can be done in just a week. We are planning on 2. I guess if you are close, you can just go every weekend! From Oklahoma, I’m gonna make it worth my while! 😉

@@MooseAndersonProductions oh absolutely!! We are very close so I understand the logistics of well planning for a trip this big! I wanted to tell you how very much my husband enjoyed your Yellowstone videos. He lived in the park during summer while growing up. His father worked for the road department in the park. He has many stories about his time there. He is dying of cancer and will never get back there again so I wanted you to know how very very much seeing it all again through your beautiful photography and narritive meant to both of us!!! We or me whomever is still here look forward to more videos and do not be discouraged!!!!

Thanks Trudy. There is a lot to cover with all these towns. At least I gave a glimpse, at it’s up to the people to decide what works best for them. Everybody is different. I’m dying to go back, but my wife keeps picking mountain vacations!😂 She does want to return, she just hasn’t said. We have plans through 2026, so 2027? I hope! 🤣 I love the area. Even just riding around and looking at the towns & parks. Everything is just soooooo beautiful! 🥰🥰😍😍🫎

🤣 Well I can redneck it up, real quick! Thanks Darnell. Part of the reason I narrate, rather than talk live, is I have to work at saying certain things, so I can be understood on TV. Sometimes my Okie slips in and makes it difficult. For some reason, “Bear” seems to be one of those words. I don’t know what it is, but bear, bare seem to be the same word! 🤣

Yeah they were not good times. 🙁 What a mess!

Thanks tomgle! I do plan to divide it up into some more specific, shorter ones. 🤣 3 hours can be a bit much! Some scenes are a bit much. I’m just hoping if people get a little impatient, they just fast forward a little bit, like I do. I got tired of trying to plan a trip to these national parks, using 10 minute snips. I hope others might be able to see how much ground can realistically be covered in a day, and use it to plan their own special trip. 😊

Thanks for appreciating the film ma! It is honestly tragic. Glad I got to see it back in the day. All of these fires over the past, have just been devastating. I wish trees could grow back faster than they do. It will take decades. As far as the locals, I too pray for their loved ones, property, and livelihoods! 😢

Hi Susie. I moved away from the area in 1979. Back then, they were great, and I am sure that hasn’t changed. People (doctors), are drawn to this area because of all it has to offer. I’m sure this helps attract some of the best! 😉

Hi Be Nice. Mostly a Sony ax53. It has a great zoom and image stabilization. Very compact handheld camcorder. On the truck & hiking, it’s a GoPro. Recently bought a tripod so it should help holding the camera even more steady, especially on zoomed in shots, but what you are seeing is with no tripod. That Sony is so easy to just jump out, and start filming. You will love it. I never have to change the battery in a long day, even though I carry a spare. I use a 256mb memory card, film in 4K, and I’ve never had to use more than 1 in a day. 😉 🫎

@@MooseAndersonProductions thank you. Beautiful footage. Been going to Yellowstone since 84 and haven’t been recently. Will a go pro have a good zoom like the Sony?

@@BeNice524 GoPro has no zoom, but they do have image stabilization and can even go underwater…very rugged. The Sony is more like a camera, but much less expensive. Many videos on KZfaq are taken with cellphones, but I never went down that road. I figure each tool is designed for a purpose and each will excel in its intended design, but cellphones do a wonderful job, just not much zoom. So from no zoom to big zoom…GoPro<Cellphone<Camcorder (Sony). 😉

I know that. Now I gotta go see what the hell I said! 🤣😂🤣😂 I can’t believe I stated otherwise! Good grief! Thanks WMG! Every 90 min, plus or minus a few. 😉

Thank you Margie. I miss it dearly. 🥰

You are SOOO lucky to live there with all the mountains. Oklahoma is such a long haul to get there. I could have used that tip about evenings & willows years ago. I almost never figured it out. Though I would never see a moose! I’m convinced, in Jackson Hole, the best way is to patrol the Gros Venter River in the evenings, and watch for one, or a group of people pointing and taking pictures. All that rain was crazy! It’s usually, pretty much, bone dry in August. I rained at least part of the days, for 5 out of the two weeks we were there. I REALLY need to move closer. 2 hours away beats 2 days away! 🤣 Thanks for taking the time to drop a few kind words and I can’t wait to bring you guys some more of my hard earned cash! 😆 Moose Anderson

It’s beautiful. The current situation there is gut wrenching. Prayers go out to all the locals! Some I went to school with. Just terrible.

I couldn’t agree more! I love the great outdoors. Had to make this 2nd movie as there is just too much in this region to cover in one visit. My wife still mentions places like Las Vegas & New York which makes me cringe. So far, she is not really complaining. I think she is starting to have her world opened up to her. She was a beach person, but now I hooked her with the mountains that I grew up with in the West. I want to see God’s Creations, not man’s creations. I don’t think we have the same skill set as Him!!! 😂 Yes, I am Mr Crow! As I stood there filming, the thought went through my head. What else could it be. 24 years of marriage and I could totally relate. I never understood why as a man. We are angels and never wrong…yet here I often sit, having my ear crowed into…or Ravened? 🤣😂🤣😂 Thanks for appreciating the sarcasm, and my movie Sushi! I’ve got some good trips and movies coming. I wish I didn’t have a day job, but having to wait for a yearly vacation, really helps plan, as well as build excitement about each trip. 😊 Stay tuned. 🫎 Anderson

@@MooseAndersonProductions , I thoroughly enjoyed your adventures and your sarcasm! I’m sure he would argue, he is Mr Crow, it is for his own good 👍 But lovingly suggested. Looking forward to seeing more! Do check out Stan Mills, you will thank me for it! Well done, exceedingly well done!

@@Sushi2735 ohhh Stan pops up all the time in my suggested videos! 🤣 KZfaq has my number! I’m even buying 399 books from Mangelsen! 🤣😂🤣😂 I’m a little biased to Yellowstone & Teton National Parks. I would go every year, but Mrs. Crow would kill me. I’m not complaining. 😊 Looking forward to Smoky Mountains, a return to Grand Canyon, then Banff & Jasper…but Yellowstone & Tetons will be soon to follow! 🥰

@@MooseAndersonProductions oh yes! Banff. Boy I’d love to see your trip there. Grand Canyon, not so much. I can totally get wanting to go every year!!., sorry Mrs. Crow does not agree! Take care, safe and happy travels!

@@Sushi2735 Grand Canyon…like a reverse Banff! 🤣 Thanks Sushi and take care!

That’s crazy and shows what a small world it really is. My mom moved from Ruidoso to Dimmitt and lived there forever! My stepdad ran the Case Tractor there. We often regretted moving, but life…it throws curve balls! 😂 My door closed and yours opened! I would love to be there. You’re Blessed! 😊

A month later... I do pray your property was spared by the latest catastrophe. 🙏💔

Thank you Candy. I’d rather you go in person, but I hoped this would fill the gap for those that couldn’t. I had never considered Yellowstone but my mom offered me a free trip to go with her & my stepdad when I was struggling as a young man of about 33. I couldn’t hardly afford an apartment but I couldn’t ask for more as I knew it could be a whole lot worse. I just had faith and worked hard and now things are good. Still no Mercedes or mansion, but not bad for a redneck in Oklahoma! 🤣 Well let me tell you, Yellowstone was amazing and really touched me. Funny story, I skipped the canyon and falls on that trip, because I really didn’t know about Yellowstone. Never even peeked inside of a book or seen any pictures. I had already seen countless waterfalls and canyons in the Tetons and Yellowstone, so I figured I didn’t need to see another one! I had no clue it was actually so massive, and the literal namesake for Yellowstone National Park. I honored my mom in the credits, I owed it to her. It crushed me that she was so far gone from dementia, she saw a few minutes of the movie, but I’m not sure she understood that I was the one that made it, nor if she even knew who I was. I can barely talk about it now. So I will stop! It was a labor of love for both Yellowstone, as well as for the memory of a mother, who Blessed me with a trip to Yellowstone, and being the best mom I could have ever asked for. Happy belated Mother’s Day to everyone, as well as you, even if your only child, is that beautiful, white fur baby in your icon! 🥰 Moose Anderson

Thanks Christie and thank you for no crying about the music! 🤣 So since you watched the second one, you have gathered that my wife loves to prowl around and shop. In September, they start to run out of stock on tourist stuff like tshirts and such. The first trip I ever made, was without her. I went in September and although the weather starts to get unpredictable, like all the rain this August could be remotely predictable, September is a great month! We have already discussed why our next trip will be in September. She is willing to forgo a few tshirts, and see the Aspens turn, the risk of smoke decrease, and clear blue skies. It becomes easier to see Moose, Bears & Elk, as they are more active in the cool fall weather. I love September, and so will you! 🫎

Me too!

Most people don’t have this issue, but I have heard from 1 other person that did. It comes through great on my sound system?

@@MooseAndersonProductions I also have my Sonos bar set to emphasize voice.

@@destravlr that is not a crappy sound system and I honestly am sorry it plays so crappy but!!! I honestly listen to the smallest voice. 😊 I plan on dropping the music level down further on the next video. I also plan on using a different “royalty free music source.” I will also reduce wind noise and have purchased a tripod to stabilize things a bit. Better is coming, and my apologies for any disappointments. Sincerely! 🫎 Anderson

I actually like the music and can’t wait to visit next Sunday for 4 days! Nice video, thank you

@@tomconley2458 Thanks Tom! I honestly have not heard the too loud issue but a couple of times. Sound systems do vary. Even between TVs with no sound systems. I will try to drop it down just a touch and see if it helps. My first release of this got 425,000 views, but it was not royalty free music so no $$$ for the Moose! I re-released it with this new royalty free music but I have to tell you…finding 3 hours of palatable music is a heck of a challenge! 🤣😂🤣😂

We used to haul them out of the river by hand! Just kids having fun. When we did use a hook, we easily caught our limit! 😁

Thanks Comp! I promise to work on the music. That’s probably the toughest part on KZfaq. ☹

Thanks Arno and if you haven’t seen it in person, I hope one day you can. It is an amazing place.

There is a lot of historical sites all around, not to mention the beautiful mountains, trees and wildlife. Thanks for watching Severe! 😊

Thanks Jeff. I really appreciate that. I really hate how I sound, and I have many viewers asking me to narrate more. I am guessing because both 1, they are interested in learning about things, and 2, they hate listening to the royalty free music. 😂 Hearing things like I sound like a well known narrator, encourages me as I do listen to you guys. I will narrate more, I bought a tripod thanks to my friend Don, I’m looking for a better music source and to use less, I take all the viewers comments to heart, and try to improve these videos as I set myself up to transition into my retirement career as I am 63. Noe I just gotta figure out how to live to 100! Thanks for watching Jeff, and know there will be a little bit of you, in the movies that follow!

It’s not a bad place to be! 😉

Very smart planning. I just don’t see how you can wing it and get as much out of it. Drive safe, and I’ll be eating my heart out…literally!

It’s a smaller world than one can imagine. Let me know if you have any questions and I’d be more than glad to help neighbor. Boomer! 🤣 And for those outsiders reading this, I just fired a shot across the bough. James and crew handed our asses to us for a final goodbye and good riddance! I know, cause my son is a Poke!

Hi Sonja and it would be soooo nice to live close to a place this fantastic. Obviously my movies are rather lengthy! 🤣 So far I have 2 Yellowstone/Teton movies on my channel, and there is still stuff I have not shown, so I completely agree with you. I have a few other places I have to squeeze in, but there will be a return trip to this area, with new adventures and experiences. No trip to here is ever the same. 😉

I am seriously thinking about it for a little retirement gig. Then run from the blizzard at the end of season! 🤣 It is honestly, a place like no other. Thanks for watching Patty! 🫎 Anderson

Come back!!! 😊 There are many beautiful places in your neck of the woods too. 😁 Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching. 🫎

Thanks for watching Vittor! Glad you enjoyed and I hope you get to go if you have never done so? 🫎

Hi Lynne! Gros Ventre road along the Gros Ventre River. In the past, I tried the stake out method, park at one spot and wait for hours. That covers one single spot, in a huge area, so sitting at a place like Blacktail Pond Overlook is akin to winning the lottery. Really the best method is driving, since the actual spot one shows up is so random. Moose love to eat vegetation along rivers and ponds. It’s still going to be random, with a lot of luck, but Gros Ventre seems to be the best bet. Better than Moose Wilson Road, where parking after you see one, can be near impossible. Gros Ventre Road is the road north of Jackson, that goes east from the traffic circle, and takes you out towards Mormon Row, Gros Ventre Campground, Kelley, Slide Lake, and the Shane Cabin. You may get lucky and see a group of cars parked with people pointing and photographing. You may be the only person on that section of road. Just keep your eyes peeled and remember it is luck, random, and you are in a high probability area. Gros Ventre is the best place, followed closely by Native Jewelry in Jackson! 🤣 🫎 Anderson

Look for thick willows. Moose love willows and water. If you want to see a lot of moose guaranteed, go to the Big Horn mountains on Highway 14. Always moose up there. One day last summer, I saw 18 moose from Highway 14.

@@wyomingadventures Great advice and thanks for helping fellow moose lovers. It looks like I’ll be coming through your backyard in 2026 on our way to Banff & Jasper. I’ll keep my eyes peeled through the Big Horn area and Highway 14! Thanks so much for the tips!

Not sure how you can call the Great Plains ugly though...

@@allisonberner5042 🤣 Believe me, this is not the first hit I’ve taken over the Great Plains comment! Technically I live in them. I just prefer mountains & trees. I’m Moose Anderson. 😂 I did have my drone follow me for the opening scene. I’m going to try to use it more as I’m still a rookie, but not bad for 63! I’m still evolving and trying to improve. Thanks for the compliments on my movie. As for those Great Plains, I’ll take our BBQ over any others. Not a fan of Memphis or Carolina style. Now for the punches I’m going to get from Tennessee & Carolina. I’m partial to Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas BBQ. We all have our pluses & minuses, but I’ll trade my BBQ for the Tetons. 😁 🫎 Anderson

Thanks Super and yes, I was massively bummed out. Covid really put a damper on the whole thing. In my second movie from our last trip, I accomplished it but barely. I thought it was an unknown thing so I wanted to book it till a month before we went. They only had 1 slot, on 1 day left. And that day hailed & rained like you wouldn’t believe! I filmed it and because of my love of it, it’s rather lengthy, and my dad likes to give me crap saying I got lost up in the rafters for a half hour! 😂 Check it out on my channel. It’s got some stuff in it we didn’t get to do on the previous trip, like the rafters! Got the Beartooth Highway in it as well.

@@MooseAndersonProductions I will check it out - thanks! I am in Gardiner (north entrance to Yellowstone) by the way. 😉

@@Super_Chief 😂🤣😂🤣 You lucky dog! Just rub salt into my wounds!

@@MooseAndersonProductions Hey Moose, don’t get too jealous. Our winters here can be brutal! I just watched the other video. Glad you finally made it to the top! I used to work at OFI, so I could go up there almost anytime - just had to get permission from the bell desk. Sometime, I would like to see you use a tripod in the future to eliminate the sway/shake that you notice in some of your zoom shots. You would be surprised how compact they are making tripods these days. They are not much bigger than that gimbal you are using now. I used a tripod the entire time I lived in Alaska and loved it! 🎥 I usually watch these Yellowstone videos and wind up correcting the person who uploaded them about the misinformation they contain. I noticed your video contained 100% current and correct information. So, it was very refreshing to see an honest/open video out there that is giving people correct information!😁

@@Super_Chief 😂 I kid you not! I just hit the order button on a couple of light weight ones…collapsible. I have a big one, but it’s not convenient to jump out of the truck with, or lug around. Figured I will start stepping up my game and do better. I hate the sway as well and even see it in the wide angle shots as well. I’m a rookie, but the Moose is on the lose! 🫎 😊 Thank you soooo much on the advice. I’m working on a way to reduce wind noise, so I can play less music to cover it up. The royalty free stuff, that I even pay for, is not a big hit with many. Some have asked me to talk more, so more talk, and less music, and no swaying to the music!!!🤣 You are so lucky Super. I hope these compact tripods are stable enough. I think they will be. Otherwise I’ll just unfurl the bigger one, and hope people don’t trip over it. These collapsible ones have a much smaller footprint. I’m not opposed to suggestions. I may even break out my manfroto and see if it would be compact enough. Let me know of any recommendations you think would be a better solution, but with stabilization built into the camera, I’m really hoping they work. I just need a little extra…story of life!

Hi Liene! It was late August. Last year, we went the same month. It is known as the driest month so we don’t have to worry about getting rained out a day. RIGHT! It probably rained for half the day on 5 of our days. ☹ Good old Yellowstone weather…never know what you will get. The park is so big, that once you are in, crowds tend to spread out. Sometimes, you have to be a parking lot vulture, and just circle around a bit. You might lose 20 minutes trying to find parking, but it’s worth it. It’s just luck of the draw. That same parking lot might take the next car 5 minutes. 😂 Don’t fret the crowds too much. June is perfect for babies & flowers. July starts to dry out and days are longer. Every month has its pluses & minuses. You are going to LOVE it! 🥰 🫎 Anderson

@@MooseAndersonProductions Thank you! We'll have some serious vultur-ing issues with parking because we're going in an RV (and no car). 😂 Good luck to us! The weather - that's a whole other issue that's out of anyone's control. We went to Alaska for 2 weeks in June, 2 years ago, and it didn't rain a single day and we had 80 degrees!!! Come next month - it didn't stop raining for the whole month so I heard! It's just luck. Hopefully Yellowstone will be kind to us. Thank you for your amazing video and all the work you put into it!

@@lienepowell8308 🤣😂🤣😂 More like a condor! Lots of fantastic places for camping in an RV. Safe travels, and enjoy. 😊

Thank you Aztec. I’m glad you liked it, and even more happy to stir those memories. In the end, it’s all that really matters. The ones we make, the ones we keep, and the ones we give. 😊

@@MooseAndersonProductions Is quite true,, quite true indeed.🙂

Thanks Ben for the encouragement. I’m hoping to get better with each film. Still trying to find a way to not get flamed by people for the music! It happens with every film, but I’m pretty sure people would like the silence between narration worse. 🙂 Your compliment is appreciated. I absolutely love 30a, and look forward to returning. The beaches are amazing, but the houses & parks are amazing in their own rights.

🤣 I appreciate your candor. 😉

I wish I didn’t have any to be truthful. It was too windy to use audio. I’m not sure what to do with long gaps of silence. Free to use music is horrible. I have been getting requests to narrate more, so I am going to try that on the next film. Unless you have an idea? Any tips will definitely be taken into consideration. Thanks for complimenting my movie, even if the music made you want to puke! 🤣😂🤣😂

Wow! 88! You were lucky not to get caught up in all the fire. So terrible. The place still has not recovered. 😢 Thanks for watching, and a pat on the back…I take it on the chin occasionally. 😂 I prefer the pats. 😁

Yes we were able to see it before the fires hit so may have been 86 or 87. Brain is getting fuzzy😆anyhow yes, there is no place like it!!! Filming was fabulous!!!

@@susanjenkins6628 yeah I’m not enjoying fuzzy. It’s a weird stage in my life. It’s good you saw it then. It is crazy how long it takes a forest to recover from a fire. The Grizzlies like the burn areas, so as with life, when one door closes, another opens. I just can’t remember if I closed the door, or left it open! 😂

My husband, who,s father worked for the parks road department in the summer, lived in Yellowstone as a boy during those months. The whole family lived in a camp trailer. Late 50,s. Boy can he tell you some stories about tourists and wildlife. Crazy!!!! I told him after we visited the park that I wanted to put up a cabin and live near the Madison river. He promptly laughed and said " you won,t like it in the winter when it is 60 below and there is 20 feet of snow." Burst my bubble I tell you😆

@@susanjenkins6628 honestly, I didn’t show any of the Madison River in my video, but we love it and go every time. Not because of West Yellowstone, but because it is such a beautiful river & valley. I think we could deal with the 8 month winter! 😂

Ohhh I have partied here many times. Young & dumb…but what a ride! 🤣

🤣 SURE rub it in!!! I promise you this, if I ever, God Forbid, become a single old man…I’m right there at the gift shop working retail! I would almost do it for room & board alone! 😍

@@MooseAndersonProductions Haha, no need to be single, I have worked with plenty of couples over the years. I have also worked retail in the Mammoth and Lake Lodge gift shops. The pay is about $14 per hour and they take out some for room and board. Yes, I am retired, I am still learning photography, hope to get better this summer. I enjoy your videos. Cheers

@@billbeverly2864 ohhhh believe me! I have been looking at the online job postings. I have hi hopes! Park Junkie has worked at Lake Hotel. I have really enjoyed his videos. I’m kind of “ate up” with Yellowstone. 😁 You are very lucky buddy! Enjoy!!! Next time I come through, I’ll look you up. Promise.

Hi Debra! They have the menus online on their websites. I have tried filming them, like some KZfaqrs, but I felt the quality was just not as good as viewing them online. I also don’t like feeling rushed reading them, where as online, it is a more leisurely process. I’ve tried filming the food too, but half the time, I’m half a plate in before I think about it! 😂 I also have to learn how to make a movie under 3 hours! That would allow for more menus & food. I just feel like I’m playing the KZfaq algorithm and that feels like playing the money game. ☹ To be honest though, I’m not sure you could go wrong at any place to eat on the gulf. Even a hole in the wall can be a seafood haven!

Very kind words Hubert. Thank you. If I ever fall into money, I would LOVE to visit your neck of the woods! Yellowstone is on the edge of my comfort zone as it is quite far from where I live, and a having a captive audience, it’s a challenge keeping costs down. It might just be cheaper to vacation Eur way! 🤣 See what I did there? Very witty for an old redneck from Oklahoma! Thanks for taking the time to pat me on the back sir. I honestly appreciate it. 🫎 Anderson

Thanks so much Lisa. I hope that it shows people a typical day in Yellowstone or Grand Teton National Parks, and helps them decide what they want to see or skip, based on the time they have. Most people can’t take 2 weeks off work. These were very long days in August, so we had lots of daylight to do it. By watching the other Yellowstone movie on my channel, it shows how much stuff we had to skip in the first trip…and we still did not get it all in. 😂 Honestly, you could spend a day, sitting by a brook, having a picnic and staring at landscape & nature, and not feel like it is wasted time. Honestly my favorite place, with an endless variety of things to see and do. Beyond words! 🥰

That is quite a "complex"! I love Maguires. I gain weight every time I vacation there! 🤣

There are at the public access Pavillion but not the private ones. I am older and have an increased need? 😂 Never had a problem.
