This is our first time to Cuyahoga National Park and we can't believe this is in Ohio. It's unbelievable what this area has accomplished since the river caught fire 13 times!

It's a model for what government CAN do when it does the right thing. Preserving waterfalls, slot canyons and gorges and creating an environment for beavers, mink and otters. I mean this is Ohio! Wow!

A very unexpected visit and life in the slow lane with HDT Life.

Come join us as we explore this gem.

RV Camping
We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.

We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to YouTube channels Suite Travels, Switch it Up and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks and believe it or not, I actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well.

Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in our discovery of What's Next.

We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.

The big blue boards (XL version) we use sometimes to get us "un-stuck" is from:

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.

Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.

Vehicles:
2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
2019 SpaceCraft Custom built semi-trailer 5th wheel "Orion"
2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"

Power system:
3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
2- 4K watt 240v Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our LG Mini split HVAC and stove

Coachnet is our roadside assistance company we use but hopefully we don't use them too often. LOL

We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.

    No joke David and Sandra have the best lifestyle of anyone I've ever heard of. That's why I choose to sometimes live vicariously through their dad jokes etc.

    Thank you for introducing us to another beautiful national park. There is nothing like a good waterfall or two and the sounds of running water. I was in heaven watching. Of course it wouldn’t be a Big Rig Big Travels without seeing David’s amazing driving skills. Love watching the two of you on your adventures in our great country! Safe travels.

  • @markbivens277
    I'm glad you like my state,all of the formations came from the receding glaciers during the last ice age, which also formed the Great Lakes. Stay safe, from a Ohio buckye.😂

  • @lindaward5338
    Have you ever been to Watkins Glen in the Finger Lakes region of New York? We absolutely loved the canyon and waterfalls there. The Ledges sort of reminded me of Watkins Glen.
  • What an interesting place, I loved ALL the waterfalls. Ohio has some beautiful country to explore and enjoy. Thanks for showing us some of it.
  • @raoulroberts
    Nature, when given a fighting chance, can be very resilient. Hopefully, other areas under environmental distress around our beautiful country can be afforded similar restorative opportunities. Thank you for another wonderful episode, Sondra and David. Continued safe and happy travels.👍🏾🙏🏾❤️
