- In this video we begin our morning at camp. Then I ride up to Canyon Lake and stop at Tortilla Flats. I ride beyond Tortilla Flats to the end of the road. Back at camp we finish up with dinner and call it a day.
Thank You For Being Here.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!
**Follow Your Dreams*
Hey Brian thank you for 10 years of videos. I’ve been watching that long. And you never disappoint on the quality of your videos. Please keep them coming.
Wow, 10 years! Ive been watching weekly for 5 or 6 years and I love it so much!
Have been following you and your adventures for several years. Today’s ride hit me like a lightning bolt. Almost 40 years ago, my wife our first daughter and myself did the same ride all the through to the dam. It was in August, we both taught school in NY and were on our first vacation before returning to work. Once I saw Tortilla Flats General Store it all came back to me. We stopped to ask directions and to pick up extra water and food because as it was described that twisty road in August wasn’t a place to risk a flat or breakdown with out supplies. Most people in the store had hand guns on their hip and a rifle in their pickup. There were also Big Horned sheep in the hills above the store. It wasn’t crowded in the 1980’s and of course there weren’t any snow birds in August. There were several boats on trailers which looked out of place to a New Yorker on the desert for the first time. Have enjoyed all your videos but today’s was extra special to me. As I was watching my wife walked by and said on first glance, “we were there.” Thank you for bring back a sweet memory. Sorry the road was closed to you, you would have loved the ride on your bike.
Me too. We were there.
I went there back in the mid 90's same story then to with the guns on the hips and in the truck. We traveled in a blue minivan but had all the gear for camping in tents. Watching these videos makes me homesick for the desert.
Wow Nice MemorieS.
Brian, you always bring me a feeling of peace and calm with your style of vlogging and the places you visit. Thank you for that. Glad to see the 3 of you are doing well. Wishing you the best.
Hi Brian! Great coverage and footage! What a beautiful place!!Congratulations with your 100k subs milestone. I am very confident this video will get you there. I have faith the universe will work in your favor….Safe travels, in solidarity 🦅🙏🏼. Also Mr. Hobbs is an excellent addition he’s such a good boy!!
Don’t feel bad because Kelly is back at the van working. You are also working. Exploring on the bike, creating content for us grateful viewers. 😃
For sure
Thank you...another real goodie...I read in another comment...it's 10 years....wow...top stuff
Can you imagine the feeling that seeing that lake gave 1st nation and pioneers alike when it came into view? Wow! Lakes in the desert are so incredibly special.
It's a man made reservoir. Formed after the Salt River was damned in 1925.😊
Thank you! There are so many reservoirs. I'm constantly wondering what the land looked like before human modification. 🤔
The sunsets y’all enjoy are priceless!✌️❤️
Hobbs is such a good boy. I don’t think I’ve seen ears so triangular and alert as his, at least for quite a while! He seems to really be enjoying the mobile lifestyle, and has adapted to his adopted retirement caretakers’ routine with his elderly dog-gentleman grace. Thanks for taking us on that ride to Tortilla Flat. What a rush! ☮️❤️🐾
Nice ride, beautiful scenery. Almost hitting that 100k, congrats 😊✌️
Wow what a beautiful day and sunset
Thank you for taking us along to places I thought I would never see! What a treat it’s food for the soul.
Awesomely BEAUTIFUL videography. Hugs to you , Kelly, and precious Hobbs.
Really enjoyed you taking us along on one of your motorcycle rides! I can't get over how beautiful that camp spot is 😍✌️
Can't wait until you reach 100K subscribers! You rock, Brian, Kelly and Hobbs! Thank you for your uplifting and beautiful videos!
You all seem a little bit happier since Hobbes joined up. Safe travels Brian, Kelly and Hobbes.
Ahh, I feel so relaxed after this great video! It was like a mini vacation for me, stunning photography, thanks Brian! ✌️ 🚐

Nice day trip. Your meal looked so good. The sunset was beyond spectacular!
Thank you, Brian! What a great video. The scenery is spectacular. Safe travels to the three of you. Peace ✌️
Mr Hobbs needs a little of that dinner for his dessert! Yummy👍
Hobbs is just the GOAT! Thanks so much! ✌🏼
Brian, you're moments away from 100k subscribers.
😅 this one made me nostalgic, my Aussie brother married a Pennsylvanian gal.
I watch their visits back home, all across the USA; they live in London UK. 🌏
In less than a month I'll see them here, in Queensland Australia 😊❤🇦🇺
Hobbs gets to "sleep in." After all, he's a senior citizen(and I know how he feels!)lol
The scene at 4:53 is my favorite. It doesn't get any cuter than this!
I was there last March during the super bloom! It was a magical experience.
Your camp area is beautiful Hobbs is so dang cute. I love how he emotes with his eyebrows lol.
He lays it on pretty thick with the cuteness!!😊
I enjoyed your video today. Hobbs is such a sweet boy. The drone footage of the lake was beautiful.
Im so glad you get to go and do these things, and I appreciate that you share them with us! Such a beautiful area, loved that fish creek canyon especially.
Great video, love the bike ride, dinner and sunset looked awesome. And away we go. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Brian thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. I am so grateful for you and all that you share. I have been watching all your videos for several years and your content is always so informative and beautiful. You Kelly and Hobbs are such an awesome road family. Keep up the amazing work 🙏💪
Brian I’m glad you took us on the bike ride. My husband and I traveled the Apache Trail about 25 years ago and ended up at Glen Canyon Dam. What a beautiful ride. You brought back memories so precious. Thanks for the ride! Happy Trails
Hi there from lower Alabama! We were out that way just 2-3 weeks ago. Tortilla Flats and the campground there are one of our very fav places. We have driven the wholw Apache Trail many times before it was closed down. Just a gorgeous area and wonderful folks to meet. There's a paddle boat ride on Canyon Lake that gets you up close and personal with the rock walls. There were big horn sheep that posed for pics. Twice a year we are that way as our daughter is in Tempe. Traveling the SW is what we do for ~4mo.
Appreciate your travels and Hobbs. Take care.
Hey, I'm seeing 99.9K subscribers! I expect you'll pass the magic mark by the next time I see your channel. Congrats on well-deserved success. Looked like a great day out on the bike. Had mine out this weekend, but it was only 45 degrees down here where I'm visiting the Florida panhandle. Looks like you had much better weather. I've got to get out west some day. Thanks as always for sharing.
Beautiful family beautiful Adventures wonderful food. Living your best life
After years of following, I was first like on this video. Beers all around!
Awesome video as always, the pasta looked amazing as all your dishes do👍🤟🍻
Hi Brian great video thanks for taking us on the site seeing tour. Nice looking dinner also say hi to kelly also😊
Congrats on the 100k Brian! I have been following you from nearly the beginning of your RUclips journey. It has been awesome to see your account grow which allows you to also maintain more time traveling and less time working for someone else! Take care and stay safe out there. Cheers!
Another great video Brian, thanx for letting us enjoy your adventures!
So close to 100K!! Won't be long now!! And well deserved too! Love this video and love to you, K and H! ;)
Such beautiful views! The mountains are always my favorite, but I think the saguaros are the finishing touch! I've seen that lime green lichen all over California, but I've never seen it in the desert just out on the cliffs. It makes me happy to see how much you two love Hobbs. Aren't dogs the best?
I never thought the desert would be so beautiful! The lake was like a mirror! Thank you for another beautiful adventure. I am so grateful for the chance to see a different kind of landscape. Born and raised in Wisconsin. Right now enduring sub zero temps, and with the last snow storm 16 inches of snow. Today’s video made it feel much warmer😀Thank you Brian! Hi to Kelly and Hobbs! Stay safe, be well, and enjoy the ride!
Hobbs said, nope, I want more sleep! I love your motorcycle videos!
Beautiful places, great food, excellent company - yup, everything a viewer could want. I like your idea of the pasta in the sauce - less water wasted!
CONGRATS Brian!!!!!!!! Been waiting for 100K :)... Please make a video highlighting your journey to this milestone...Here is to 1Million :)
Thanks for the fun tour😊
Thank you.
The motorcycle was the best upgrade you've made to your travels, definitely opened up your travels.
What a beautiful area! Thank you for sharing these great locations.
Nice to see some footage of Hobbes. You two are doing a great job taking care of him.👍🏻

Beautiful lake and yummy looking dinner 😋😁👍✌️
Thanks Brian. Love watching!
Hobbs is such a character. Great video Brian!
I saved this for my day off and it did not disappoint. 😁👍
What a joy as I sit in 11 degrees of snow filled NY 🌨 another great campsite and so close to 100k Subs 🏕✌🏿
I feel just like hobbs in the morning!
Always enjoy your videos what a beautiful day the evening sky was so
Absolutely beautiful
We drove Apache Trail down from Roosevelt Dam a few years back. We were a day or less behind the road grader so the drive was smooth. I hadn't realized the road had been closed. It was a nice drive.
Thanks for the video Brian !
All you need is star link and the road paved ! . . . . Then you will have 30 times the traffic ! .,. Thats a nice thing to hope for. . The landscape is gorgeous and pristine. . Let's keep it that way
Thanks for sharing, GREAT ending sunset panorama.
Thank you Brian for the ride, maybe one day in the near future we will be visiting this place.
I enjoyed your video, my how Tortilla Flats has changed, it's so much bigger than it used to be, I have heard that the original had burned down. I remember driving a few times the Apache Trail from Apache Junction to Roosevelt Lake then up to Payson, it was a long drive but so rewarding.!
Found your channel last week! I sure am enjoying it, thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Thank you. Glad you are enjoying the videos.😊
What a nice day. Supper looked really good. Enjoy your time you 3!!
Thanks for the beautiful bike ride in those gorgeous mountains in the sunshine ☀ ! 👍 🙋to Kelly and Hobbs.
WOW! every stone was placed by someone and the many that gathered um and placed them some task at that! Neat again, cheers...
Congrats on 100k Brian!💯
Wow, neat landscape.👍🐶🌵🏜🏍🚚
Beautiful area! I hope Kelli can take some morning/afternoons off and enjoy nature!❤
What a cool ride, and stops for some incredible sights. Every sunset is a masterpiece, isn’t it? Hi Kelly and Hobbs! ✌️❤️🏍️
Love the Aero press. Squeezes all the flavor out. Better than any method I've found in the past.
Cool place and nice ride.Hobbs be smelling the spaghetti. Doggo s don't know when they ate last they just want to eat when you eat.Enjoy your dinner and your time there looks like a fun place to be. Take care. Bye Hobbs.
Really enjoyable video! What a wonderful scenic bike ride. That sky out there is so blue! I am in Vermont and it has been a long winter with barely any blue sky....it does have its own beauty though. Love how you end the day with a wonderful meal....I am sure the smell of that spaghetti sauce was driving Hobbs crazy! I used to have a dog who loved spaghetti and used to cry until she got her plate. Thanks for the adventure!
Thank you Brian, Kelly and Hobbs, I'm selling my house, can't wait to get out there 👍
Wow, what a day👌
Hobbs has foodneezya!! 😂✌️
Congratulations on the 100k subscribers. Awesome Brian!! You deserve it!!!!
Tell Hobbs this old Nana in Tennessee feels the same way he does every morning.❤He’s precious, as are you for giving him a great life after he lost his mama. Thank you❤TN Nana
A beautiful day. Beautiful lake. A great lake finishing with a home cooked meal. Awesome !!! What more can you ask for
Hobbs said what I say every morning especially when it’s cold. I love that you have taken such good care of him since his momma passed away. He’s been a good friend to you too.
