Two empty nesters chasing adventure in RVs that don’t always cooperate. Big road trips, unexpected detours, and plenty of “what did we get ourselves into?” moments. Probably a bad idea. Definitely an adventure. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 Vancaskeys LLC All rights reserved Filmed August 2026 A lot of inspiration for The Alaska Adventure Series has come from creators we’ve watched and loved for years, including Kara and Nate, Trent The Traveler, and Wild Life RV. #rvlife #vanlife #rvliving 0:00 The Final Stretch to the Border 0:46 A Border Experience Like No Other 4:12 The Point of No Return 11:42 Facing the Agriculture Inspection 23:40 Navigating the Seattle Concrete Jungle 32:17 Finding Peace After a Stressful Day 37:52 Driving Through the Smoke

Through our journey called The Lemon Route, we’re working toward visiting all 50 states, turning breakdowns, detours, and expensive mistakes into stories, lessons, and a little lemonade along the way, all while showing what RV life really looks like for everyday people.

Our Alaska road trip takes us to Whistler, British Columbia, after more than 10,000 miles of camper van travel through Canada and Alaska all the way to the Arctic Ocean. But the drive south brings smoky skies, wildfire aftermath, and a very different view of the road ahead. We’re Bob and Hillary, and we’re making our way back toward Las Vegas to return our Noovo camper van. In this episode, we travel through 100 Mile House and Clinton, BC, witnessing stretches of burned forest before heading into the mountains toward Whistler. Along the way, we find a riverside camping spot and trade the driver’s seat for a ride high above Whistler with incredible mountain views and a few moments that have us questioning our decisions. 😂 If you’re planning an Alaska road trip, exploring British Columbia by RV, or following our van life adventures, come along for this stretch of the journey.

We find quiet spots, waterfalls, and local gems along the way. 🚐 We are continuing our journey through the beautiful landscapes of the north, focusing on finding peace away from the crowds. This segment of our van life vlog takes us from the daily routines of life on the road to quiet walks near waterfalls and local towns where nature takes center stage. It is about slowing down and enjoying the scenery rather than rushing to the next destination. If you are planning an Alaska road trip, seeing how we manage day-to-day logistics like cooking and finding spots for camping in Alaska can help you prepare for your own adventure. We share the reality of our RV travel experience, from the challenges of the road to the moments of awe when we encounter wildlife and stunning views.
