72 HOURS OF VAN LIFE ON LAKE SUPERIOR (with a skoolie)

We're forming a caravan with a skoolie and exploring the wilderness of Canada! There's beach-side spots on Lake Superior, Ojibway pictographs, and one of the most scenic drives we've ever made. Who knew how great the free camping was up here? 🚐

Ha ha…my jaw dropped when you said “nothing else to do here” at the TransCanada 1/2 way marker. Literally Chippewa Falls inspired paintings by a Group of 7 painter. I’m glad you all got to see that beautiful spot. Keep on driving!

I’m really sad you are not coming to British Columbia. Most of the best parts of Canada are here. If you have a little extra time, it only takes 5 hours to get to the BC Kootenays from Calgary. Hope you find the time. ❤️

Hi Jimmy and nat .Don, t forget to stop at the Terry Fox monument which is just east of Thunder Bay on your right side . It is a little bit uphill into the parking lot. But worth the stop. Terry Fox is one of our national heroes. He was doing a charity run across Canada on one leg and the monument site was as far as he got before the cancer put him off the road. There has been a national Terry Fox fund raiser every fall for many years now in his memory. Have a great trip.Tom in the maritimes at the NB-NS border

Lake Susperior is so beautiful. AMAZING

[pinlight]

You pronounced Sault Ste Marie perfectly; impressive! Lake Superior has the most amazing sunsets! That bug spray—keeps the skeeters, deer and horse flies away.

You absolutely must must must go completely west to b.c.. A crowning jewel in Canada's landscape. Once there take an escape to the gulf islands. You will not regret it. It's Ike going back in time. Absolutely breathtaking. Enjoy your time up here and don forget the hoo doos in Drimheller. Safe travels kids. (Ya I'm old). By by

Would recommend getting off the TC Highway whenever possible. You see a lot more in the small towns and countryside and learn more about Canada.

Thanks! The last frontier is calling.

Welcome to Canada! Pictographs are images that are painted on rock (usually with crushed rock, often red ochre, mixed with animal fats). Petroglyphs are carvings into the rocks. Looking forward to your journey. We did the same trip years ago. :)

You guys never cease to amaze me at your production quality, storytelling, and genuine communication of fun/happiness. I never realized how much goes into quality video production (and I think most people don't) until I start reverse engineering what had to take place in order for these beautiful stories to come together. Thanks for giving me a reason to look forward to Mondays.

Btw the chunks of rock and hills you're seeing are part of the Canadian Shield, which is one of the oldest exposed land masses on earth. It formed about 2.4 BILLION years ago, as a mountain range taller than Everest, but it eroded down and out to make the "plateau" that it is now.

You pronounced Sualt Ste. Marie perfectly. Congrats! Beautiful country up in the Lake of the Woods area, but it's pretty desolate between there and Kenora, so I hope all runs smoothly for you.

What a fun time . Thank you for sharing this journey with me. Mucho Love From Your Friend In Michigan Tam 💜💜

[bamamama]

Beautiful guys!! The scenery is amazing!! Natalie, PLEASE post your recipes! The quinoa bowl looked amazing!!!

[johnhamilton]

So glad to be with you guys! You two are the sweetest couple on you tube. We love all your postings. Wish we could caravan with you, but not sure being in our seventies we could keep up with you "kids". We pray for your safe travels as your trip continues. God be with you always....

[MelissaMalzahn]

It's good that you all and Adam could travel together. Positive vibes for Adam & Steph. Safe travels for you all. ❤❤

[mreppen]

What a road trip. My wife and I did Anchorage to Orange County, CA 4 years ago, this one matches that.

[rickbranham]

I Agree With Bandit One78. Your videos just keeping getting better! Subscribed to Adam & Steph ❤❤❤

[samydamico]

Great to see more of Canada with new friends! ❤ Now to follow Adam and Steph!

[richardpalmanteer]

Yea, good to see you have a friend to travel with for a while. I'll probably never go to the Trans Canadian Highway but following along with you two I'll get a chance to see what it's like. And as always, "Enjoy The Adventure." 🤠👍✌
