all right first thing in the morning really really early guys we are going on a cool adventure that will take us to the top of a very tall mountain so it will be cold and you know we store our winter clothes in the attic so kurt is having to fetch them we need our jackets and i think i want a ski hat so here we go let's watch kurt get stuff out of the attic it is 351 and we're going on an adventure to the top of a really really tall volcano so it's going to another volcano yup so we're going to finish packing up our bags we'll see when we get in the other car because we're not going in our van she's hooked the gang is all here can you see him it's dark it's early guys but we're going on an adventure we're going at the top of a volcano and i know what are you thinking snow's going to the volcano somebody's driving us to the top we're cheating a little bit but it's going to be fun all right this is what'll get us to the top guys supposed to be a bumpy ride let's go all right guys we're in the 4x4 headed up the road we just got on here i know it's dark and you can't see much but neither can we because we're trying to catch the sunrise this morning oh in the bed and he said let there be light and there was our awesome guide for the day what is your name rolando all right here we go rolando oh my gosh definitely would not make it up this holy cow i don't know if you guys could see that but basically we were going through a bunch of overhauls and we were bottoming out bouncing around bobbling around looking for the right spots don't hush me now cause i just wanna don't make me make me dance i don't see a shortcoming is all right guys we're about 15 minutes in and danny thinks the van can make it up here i'm telling you no way this road is gnarly i mean gnarly this little uh toyota is eating it up chewing it up all right guys we're still going up but we are going down this is our first kind of steep spot where we're going down and it's a whole different feel and kind of gives us a look ahead to what it's going to be like to go back wow oh this is straight up oh man roll wow look at this sky's starting to light up and we're above the clouds oh nose thank you oh look at this hey oh all right guys it's really windy up here so sorry about the wind noise but we are on vulcan bahru the tallest point in panama over there is the sunrise coming up over the caribbean some clouds were definitely way above those what an adventure ride to get up here that was so cool and the sunset or sunrise is absolutely amazing and danny and emily and kurt they're walking up that last little bit over there and they'll go up to that top peak when they get up there i think they'll be at about 11 400 feet give or take a few feet of course i can't make that trek but i don't care because i made it up here and this is beautiful before this was a national park here in panama the government used it for all their towers something about the continental divide and this is the best place for service but even the towers can't take away from how beautiful it is up here amazing so this is one of those unsuspecting surprises i really didn't research this place snow said let's go danny and emily said let's go i thought it was just going to be like a ride up a road to the top of volcano and it was an adventure four by four ride and now just to be able to see the pacific coast and now climbing up this to see the sunrise and the clouds being above those it's super cool and it is cool up here we got a little rock climb but it's probably about 35 to 40 degrees fahrenheit and i got a little scramble up here i don't know if you guys can see it but i am pumped it's about 5 30 in the morning you can see the orange the orange from over there we're going up and there's a cross up here and so i think we can get up to it oh my gosh it's pretty jaggedy and a bit further than i thought look at this do do do so do all right it's time to go back and hang out with snow do all right so this is the vehicle that brought us up here snow's chilly she's gonna hide in the in this vehicle for a bit they got a winch on the front a little breakfast action hot chocolate coffee looks like some paninis it's pretty cold up here but it's pretty epic pretty awesome i like being above the clouds and not being in an airplane meters high overlooking the continental divide pacific coast caribbean coast what a beautiful vista what a fun morning right snow yeah now look at that ride down you gonna go front seat on the way down no the big guy goes in the front that's you all right guys the way back down it's gonna be fun look at this giant rock oh my gosh so danny just asked the question dude has anybody ever flipped over here and the answer was yes frequently this is epic dude i am loving this it really surprised me i definitely want to do more 4x4 adventure rides i mean and then the epic view up top wow perfect and our guide's pretty good too a pretty pretty darn good driver i would say that's for sure all right guys we made it back and i think snow is ready to take a little nappy nap nap time for me and maybe geo get a little walk or something we'll see we'll probably get into something else today but we'll let you guys know all right guys we're getting a little walk-in for the kitty cats this morning yesterday morning we did that crazy 4x4 adventure to the top of the volcano the tallest point here in panama we came back and we all just kind of sacked out nothing exciting happened we never even pulled the cameras out but we are up bright and early this morning getting both vans ready to move and we are headed downtown and we're gonna go try some fancy coffee all right kurt dropped me off at the coffee shop that we have picked out here in boquete there's the vandersons they've got that advantage of being three feet shorter than us it's a little easier for them to park curt had to go find a place to park and there they are time for some fancy coffee and in a minute we'll tell y'all what we're celebrating what'd you get kirk i haven't ordered yet we've got to decide i think we should get two different kinds to compare okay i understand why the gaia is so expensive cup i will pour okay love from a cloud above so bright i can see the lights taking you up and above the blue sky tastes good to be drinking all of the honey sweet brewer vows up up in a painted cup right in the sky like a firefly like a firefly i believe to believe is to feel the fire grow within i believe to believe is to see how the present comes from dreams very interesting my first thought is i was trying to compare and contrast this with another kind of coffee that we got in guatemala and trying to justify the high price point it definitely tastes different but to me not better all right there you go my turn what do you think i don't like it either i mean it's okay i'll drink it but it's too busy i mean i'm not a coffee expert guys don't even pretend to be but it's like five different flavors going on in there so you might like it i think i just like plain coffee yeah so we splurged on the expensive coffee nobody was crazy about it i think emily liked it the best it was still a pretty cool experience yeah and kurt you want to tell them what we're what we are kind of celebrating uh we're celebrating the fact that danny and emily and the vandersons on youtube got monetized yay so for all of our subscribers that have popped over to watch their videos thank you we love these guys you gave them a good boost and now their youtube videos will help put some gas in the tank i'm very excited all right guys we had our yummy coffee in this fun little mountain town boquete in uh the panama mountains it's famous for coffee lots of american expats live here it's a beautiful little town i'm gonna give you a look at it as we drive through on our way out and uh pretty excited about our next destination you guys have probably
