I grew up in La Grande. This was my favorite place to go as a Boy Scout. Right up there with the coast as my favorite places to visit in the world. I know live in the Boise area--I’ve only been back a couple times. Need to return soon.
Yes!
Amazing video, and great editing! What camera did you use? You have some nice zoom shots, and also very steady along the trail. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! The majority I used a Samsung S23+. I tried to ninja walk and make slow movements to keep it steady. I also mixed in some of Alex's iPhone 14 Pro.
What a beautiful video. Bunch of people making friends and celebrating a common passion. Thank you!
I was already getting emotional watching you pick out your new guitar, and then the news about Eddie…. Wow. What a video.
After seeing this video, I purchased one of these tents from TarpTent and set it up in my basement. I’m 6’5” and it wasn’t even close to fitting. I returned it the next day to TarpTent and was berated for doing so by Henry Shires himself. You can assume I will never purchase a TarpTent or items from any other zero character people.
Ok… thank you for this video… it answers the question I had about what I saw this morning 😂😂😂😂
33:30 where he's talking about our mortality ... the irony about Ernie Kings passing isn't lost on anyone watching this.
What’s the best time of year to hike the RTR?
I think October would be good
i am so happy 4 you <3
New Subscriber ! Best video I’ve seen of the Wonderland Trail ! I did this 40 years ago…. We climbed down and touched the Carbon Glacier. I miss it all so much. Thank you so much., great job. I felt like I was right there with you.
This perfectly encapsulates the massiveness of this song. Thanks for posting!
Amazing amazing videography. Your work captures the mountain and brought back so many wonderful memories of the trail! Well done.
Great hike! Thank you for sharing
The pic of ernie waving goodbye at the end got me. Damn you scuba steve
Well done. Worth the watch
OMG, Ernie, I knew him by name and voice only from waay back when Historic line was very young, around 1996-ish, I called the Custom Shop for a little jar of nitro, for some minor damage on one of my R9's, and another time for a pickguard or something, I owned several reissues then, Ernie was the guy that I spoke with. When I clicked on this video I saw the name and heard that voice, over 25 years ago and I remembered right away. R.I.P. Ernie, I'll see you there some day, I'll be 70 in July.
The passion shared by all of the people in this video is priceless. Ernie truly loved having you there man, you honored him well. ❤
Beautiful landscape!
What year is this Factory tour from?
😢
I had every intention of commenting this was the best Gibson factory tour I have seen after I got thru watching it. Then totally hit in the gut about Ernie. Man so sorry to hear about his passing. This video turned out to be a great blessing in sharing him with us before he passed. Congrats Boscoe dude you deserve that guitar and because of you some of us got to meet Earnie too thru the video.
Do you have a website for your music? Amazing player
BoscoeFrance.com
Thought you were a PRS fella
Did it just after you. Wettest year probably. I live in Saranac lake.
Man, what a sad endling I didn't see that coming. Since I started watching your video I got hooked cause of Ernie's friendless and loveable character. Ernie genuinely chose THE guitar for you and that's beautiful man. Enjoy in good health brother.
Cute video!
Congratulations, Boscoe! Rest in peace, Ernie…a life well lived and a legacy that will live on.
Git er done! 😂
Great video thank you 👍🏻
Great video!
Mother Bear’s…! Hell yeah!
The object at 7:10 is a crinoid. It's a fossilized prehistoric plant. Awesome video, BTW!
Last question….hopefully. Was that a B&B or something that y’all stayed at on day 3?
It's called the Irondequoit Inn. That wasn't our plan but it was really close to our resupply at NPT Piseco Bob's and he recommended it. Nice place but not cheap.
@@benhikes thanks again bud. Not planning on it either but just in case the weather gets real bad it’s nice to know I have options😁
What’s the temp like at night?
High 40s to low 30s in September.
Nice. Like I said I’m going in mid May, hoping the temps are comparable. Thanks bud.
I can’t wait!!!!
Dude I just marked this as my first trail I’m going to hike in May as I’ve never done it before, hope on UA-cam and this is the first video on my feed! It’s fate😎Happy hiking!!
I’m so glad this popped up in yootubeland… what wonderful human beings…
Man, I watched this on March 10,2024 and I was thinking how lucky to win a Gibson Les Paul ( I won a PRS bass4 in 1986 Guitar Player magazine giveaway) then when I saw that the guy Ernie passed ,I thought he was luckier to meet and be escorted through the facility and talk with him,my wife passed on February 1,2024 and this triggered tears to flow (Man I miss that woman) condolences to his farm and all affected by his passing,RIP sir, great video 🙏🏿💯❤️
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING... Thank you Boscoe, thank you Ernie...
Boscoe made Ernie’s day just as much as he made Boscoe’s. There is so much heart and soul in the employees of the custom shop.
I love the crossroads send off.
Absolutely epic journey, brother. Congratulations and thank you for this video. I did King of the Blue twice in the early 2000''s.
How great to see Ernie King once again. Just tonight I ran into old friend and Custom Shop brother Doug Culberson down the road a the local Publix. Ernie, you will be missed, as will Edwin Wilson. Cheers,
Did i see that correctly? Did gibson start making the zakk wylde lp’s again?
Wonder if it’s a made to measure custom order?
damn man... im in tears. thank you for sharing.
I'd sure love to win a custom shop of my choice...good lord
Such a great heartfelt video. You are a good soul and I’m so happy you got to have that experience on behalf of all of us. Never watched a factory tour that caught me in the feels by the end. RIP Ernie
What a great video and such an honest appreciation that Boscoe shows towards the craftsman. RIP Ernest.
Absolutely fantastic video. What a humble guy.
