Crystal's Nomad Adventures
США
Добавлен 5 янв 2013
Join me on my travels across the US!
I began this journey in April 2024 after selling my home and buying a Winnebago Mini Winnie. What an amazing life experience I am having exploring the beauty of the USA, meeting wonderful people across the country, and trying all kinds of new things.

So, rain put a little damper on the motorcycle rally. I suspect that the area where the rally was held was more than a little damp. Speaking of damp, I happy that Dave was able to completely seal off the hole the branch put in your RV so that water won't leak in.
You are so right, Ron! It was soaking wet down there. And yes, it’s great that he fixed up that hole well as there has been a great deal of rain down here this winter
Hi Crystal - so nice to see another of your adventures! I hope you’re having a wonderful time where you’re at currently and that the weather is sunny and warm. ~Sheila
Thank you, Sheila! It has been warm down here in Florida. Last week there was snow in northern Florida, but I’m pretty well south of there. Hoping you two are having a pretty winter and keeping warm and safe!
Surprised you didn’t see prairie dogs.
Oh I saw hundreds if not thousands (!), up in North Dakota in the T Roosevelt National Park. They are such a delight to watch
Way too bulky and heavy to pull behind a bike. You don’t realize how much that trailer wait pulls the bike around until you’re hauling that thing around no thank you
I’ve towed a mini mate trailer many thousands of miles, I’ve never towed any other trailer, but I can say that the mini mate was a absolute pleasure to tow .
@ what bike do you use to tow it, do you ride by yourself or with someone else? 2-up? Is there room inside this thing for two people to sleep? I’ve always wanted to see one of those up close.
Bad branch!!!
Looks like another great adventure, Crystal. So sorry to hear of the damage to your RV though. I’m glad Dave was able to get it sealed up for you. ~Sheila
Thank you Shelia!
Had a friend, his trailer wheel had a blowout, he lost control. Would never pull a trailer.
I had a blow out a month ago, doing 65 mph. It wasn't an issue, no wobble or sway. I pulled over and changed the tire. Sorry your friend wasn't as lucky.
Were you able to see any of the Boot Hill Cemetery? I’d have thought that’s be your #1prioruty 🤔
Next time! The bodies actually have been moved to the Maple Grove cemetery
Hi Crystal 😊 So nice to see a new adventure for you. Loved seeing the big statues. We've never been to Kansas. Continued prayers for your safe travels. Patrick & Sheila
Hi Sheila and Patrick, thank you very much! I am a little bit behind on my videos. Kansas was a very pretty state and I hope you two get to check it out sometime on your travels!
Wow, had no idea the library with the largest genealogical collection was so close to Chicago! Would’ve assumed Salt Lake City. Your travels are so inspiring!!
Allen County Library is the largest genealogical collection in a “public library” in the country. The collection is incredible and the very knowledgeable staff hold many free online workshops you can check out: www.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy
Why are you circling Iowa?
😂 Leaving Iowa and Michigan still on the map means I’ll be coming back thru IL at some point
Hi Crystal! The badlands are indeed beautiful, we've been through there and thought the same. Loved seeing you on the giant Jackalope 😊 -Sheila
….and the balloon rally reminded me of Albuquerque.
Yes, but in a much smaller scale. Very intimate
Downtown Hinsdale? I loved the sign over the old Ashuelot covered bridge. 😅
Those were enormous lobsters! 😅
And SO delicious!
What a fun way to travel that scenic countryside! Loved the music as well. Felt like I was driving that motorbike. 😂
A Drag Brunch 😂. Looked like a fun time. ❤
It was a hoot!
I'm going next year
You will love it!
Hello Crystal!! Loved seeing this video, it looks amazing. We've driven though that state a time or two but never stopped to see the sights. Perhaps we need to reconsider that the next time we are in that area. Safe travels to you wherever the road takes you next. -Patrick & Sheila
Hi Sheila & Patrick! I highly recommend the TR National Park. There were very few people this month which made it especially nice. I suspect it gets more crowded during summer.
I love these little pop up style trailers. We ve had a Bunkhouse ( same but different) since 2006..we love it. A few people we ve rode and camped with have seen how much better we had it than them and their tents that they went out and bought their own. :) They bought used LEES URE LITES Theyre very happy with them. sorry to hear you've had some issues with yours. I didnt get what yr it was. Theirs are a little older. Hopefully they ve gotten those things fixed up in their manufacturing. Theyre made up here in Canada...one province over. But Im glad to hear you worked through those hicups and are enjoying it. thanks for sharing maybe we ll see you out there. take care
Brian is a Hoot ! The actual owner of Percival, Sheila is every bit as aviation friendly as Brian,,,, my wife Kat took up a few of the local girls,,,I think Mia may be Sheila’s grand baby,,,,, ruclips.net/video/CzcSOQpFTsU/видео.htmlsi=1crakpKYvNR_nxfX
Brian is a great guy. Glad you had fun!
I bought mine from Bill in spring 24 and spent a week in Laconia during the rally. Trailer tows like a dream behind my 2020 Road Glide LMTD, and I can never go back to tenting again. Sets up/ tears down easy. I have the add-a-room and it comes in handy for when I want to smoke my cigars while the rain falls.
Bills a great guy. I have had issues with mine, but I love it. It's so much better than sleeping on the ground
I also added an air mattress
do you have the a/c option? if so how well does it cool it down?
@@hiltonray4461 I do not
Love seeing this video, Crystal!! I can still see your beaming smile and hear your infectious giggle as you took off and landed. What a treat this day was for you and for Patrick and I. And how cool to hear of another person taking lessons with Brian. He is a terrific fella! All our best to you, dear Crystal. Safe travels to you. ~Sheila and Patrick
Thank you, Sheila! It was such a great day, and it was lovely meeting you two! Hope to see you again either when I’m in your area or perhaps sometime paramotoring 😀
Awesome! I’ll have to live vicariously through you😮
Crytal, I wanna be you when I grow up lol.
Oh, you can! Here’s the secret: Don’t Grow Up!!! 🤣
Looks like so much fun!! Maybe next year you’ll trade in the RV and travel by one of these air machines!! 😊
Hey, you never know!
Brian is a great guy. He is my instructor and has been a great experience getting to learn to fly total. Glade, you had so much fun. Good luck in your travels
Awesome you’re learning to fly!
@NomadCrystal Yes, just took my first few solo flights this week. Be there tomorrow for more. Will be a great after noon.
@@gi0zzy22Congratulations! Have a great flight today. My friends Patrick and Sheila are down there now too
Have you also done this? If not, would you give it a try? See the description for more information and how to find Airborne Adventure of Illinois
Just got back from the VA/WV area and the roads are definitely winding down there!
And so beautiful!
@@NomadCrystal absolutely!
Great song and photos!!
You made it to Brattleboro before me! Nice to see Ginny and Anne !
Beautiful!
Awesome Crystal - I am so happy to seeing you traveling everywhere. Nice song!!!
Thank you, Luis!
Wow! Great song to sum up all of your exciting adventures! Keep enjoying the journey!
Thank you! Tom did such a fun and creative job writing these lyrics!
Hi Crystal! Your theme song is fantastic!! It was so neat to see one of your paragliding pictures in there. We look forward to seeing more of your adventures. Blessings to you for safe travels and awesome new experiences. Fondly, Patrick and Sheila
Thank you so much! It was great meeting you guys last week! I have lots of good video from up in the sky that I’ll be putting together in a video soon
If (and that seems very unlikely atm) I were to ever do something like this I just know I would repeat several of the adversities you...despite your warnings. the occasional bouts of loneliness are just part of life. We just are not always connected with others despite all the "connectedness" available these days.
Hi Frank😊. Absolutely, it’s all part of the learning and the experiences. So far I am loving the lifestyle, including these kinds less-than-stellar moments
Hi Crystal. Thank you for sharing the good the bad & the ugly of rv life. I am in DuPage & have been thinking of taking the leap. Your experience is inspiring. As a single woman myself, it helps to look to others who are doing it and if it is something I can do. I look forward to your content.
Hi Minnyjay. It’s a lot to think about to make the leap. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have
@@NomadCrystal I appreciate that.🤲🏽🙏🏽🤲🏽🙏🏽 When I get to research, I'll message you. This video has been helpful.
Looks like a great, relaxing week!!
@@MiniWilli it was, and I really needed it!
So fun!!
It looks beautiful! Come visit us if you want nature, we have a mountain lion in the hood this morning!
@@lklight3 Awesome! I want to get over by you guys in the late fall 😊
Hi Crystal, it looks like you are having a blast! Hey, do you have a recipe for the squash blossoms? Our yard is full of them right now, thanks!
As I recall, Cara said it’s best to pick the blossoms in the morning. You can remove the stems before frying, though we didn’t. Either way, you do not eat the stems. Mix up Ricotta cheese with Parmesan, an egg, and salt & pepper, and maybe add chopped herbs or spices you like. Pinch the blossoms closed as best you can. Dredge in flour, dip in an egg wash, and coat with breadcrumbs. We fried ours for maybe 5-7 minutes. I think you could also try roasting them too. Enjoy!
Love this one! 💕
What fun!
It really was. So great to see them and we had beautiful weather for it all
Love the hair ❤
Oh dear. Glad the walmart campout worked out after all 😅😂
And that lobster was enormous!😂
It was actually 2 lobsters 🦞 🦞
Very cool and informative! ❤
I thought Lisa’s place seemed idyllic. And then Dave shows up? Oh wow Crystal. So happy for you. Vermont is on my bucket list. Just gorgeous.
Love the lobster photo!!!
You can see the absolute joy on my face!
