Congratulations on being a host! You have our support and encouragement. I hosted last year and it was marvelous. The concessionaire and district rangers were great to work for and made it a breeze for me. Your smile says it all.
If you are commuting to and from Rifle and Meeker or Meeker to Craig on 13 be aware lots of deer and elk on road. Also ranchers move herds of cattle and sheep on 13. They want you to keep moving at a crawl to get thru it. If you stop it confuses the animals. Lived there for 6 years in the 90s
what are all the bugs on the hwy? Looks like reddish giant crickets or something. There was a caution sign saying the road is slippery due to all the squashed bugs. Literally millions on them!!! And the smell!
WOW, WOW, WOW!! Absolutely beautiful! I can't imagine sleeping with your window open, listening to the rushing water. You hit the jackpot with this job ... and at the perfect time. Lucky you Brian. Life is good. ♡
Sweet! I'm happy for you and me both. I lived in Rifle up until a year or so ago when my adventures took me back east of the Mighty Mississippi. It was a treat being a co-pilot with you in Rifle and the surrounding areas as I reminisced about my adventures there, all awesome. I hope I didn't babble too much. Thank you for sharing and Happy Trails! ~ Mike ~
I imagine you'll shop in Craig. I lived there 10 years, until 2 years ago. Drove and fished all over that area. The burger joint in meeker is pretty good. The old hotel is worth visiting, the elk and deer mounts are old and impressive. The history of it is interesting.
Thankyou Brian for your videos mate and your honesty. I'm sure you will continue to produce interesting content and keep on providing great entertainment. I wish you good health and hope you continue with your adventures. Cheers Michael
A beautiful and awesome video. Colorado is looking so amazing; the scenery is breath taking. I appreicate you sharing all your adventures as they occur and you will be a wonderful camp host; it fits you like a glove. Your channel is wonderful. I've been watching for years and its like you gained a friend that you have the pleasure to meet one day to say thank you in person.
Oh so gorgeous! There is nothing in the world I love more than being in the aspens. Being at high altitude in the Rockies, hearing the wind in the aspens and the river is music for the soul. Enjoy!
TY for the video. I like road trips and journeys into the backcountry. I hope you will be happy and productive there. That young buck was awesome-hope you see him around…
Nice to hear the excitement in your voice again. What an incredible place to heal your heart. God bless, looking forward to seeing more about your new job.
A young lady I watch on YT is also a campground host in the mtns of CO, she got hired on the spot, too, and had to make a quick trip from AZ to CO. She is 40 miles from a town, at 10,500' elevation. She says the hardest part is kicking people out! Looks like a perfect location to have some down time and enjoy the sounds of the forest.
Gorgeous site! The river is moving so fast. I saw the video after this first. I’m sorry about the passing of a fellow camp host. But like you said, they were doing what they loved and that area looks beautiful. Happy camping ❤
What a beautiful place to have a summer job. That last shot you gave us was picture perfect. Enjoy your time there Brian. And wishing peace to your soul.
I spent 2 nights in Leadville 2019 at an RV park since I had to do laundry. I also got a pizza at Mountain High Pies and wrote in my camping journal "good pizza"
The scenery was absolutely beautiful! The river is high and mighty. It sure is good to see the happiness on your face and in your voice. It has been a while since we’ve seen that genuine smile! Wishing you nothing but the best!
Congrats on camphosting. We camp hosted for 6 years when we decided to live the Nomad life. I’ve made best friends to this day meeting people through camp hosting. On the flip side you will see the craziest things campers can do while camphosting. Good luck to you brother.
You're living in paradise...and they pay you. Have fun fishing! I enjoy going along on your drives. Your edits show just enough, and I enjoy your pick of music.
People would give their eyeteeth to be in that scenery...and you managed to get paid to be there! You are blessed, Brian, because you are a Blessing to others. Enjoy this summer.
I’m living over in Steamboat for 30 years now…used to ride my dirtbike to meeker on that flattops scenic byway road…75 miles one way…Aspen groves the whole way…amazing country…would live to camp host up in the flattops
Your words at the end were more uplifting than the awesome video. Great to hear! Kelly will be missed but you are the reason why so many of us come back time and time again. You rock! God bless you.
Greetings from New Zealand, woke up on a winters morning, diesel heater cranking, and have your video to start the day. As always, I loved the drive you took us on. And what a gorgeous, green and peaceful looking place to arrive to. Enjoy every minute of your new job. Take care Brian.
My husband daughters and I hosted three years in Alaska State Parks. We had a blast, meeting so many people from around the world. Enjoy hosting. After we retired my husband and I hosted two years in Washington State Parks. We recommend it highly! Have fun on this new adventure!
WoW, you landed a great gig, Brian! And although the $pay may not be the best, I know you’re being rewarded in so many other ways! Soak it in…God’s country! ✌🏼
Welcome to the area I grew up in. I'm from Steamboat, but we spent a lot of time in the Flat Tops (to the north) and that area. Glad to see a van lifer in the Northwest part of CO, my favorite part. We might drive up and visit you this summer.
Thanks for bringing back good memories. It's been years since I've been where you are now, but for 30 plus years we enjoyed our yearly trips to the White National Forest. Have a great time in the mountains.
21:01 I'm jealous, that's going to be great fishing when the water slows down a bit. (edit) - "Nature is the place to be"... That's a great idea for t-shirts.
All the best on the new summer job. Hopefully none of the campers gives you a hard time and everything goes smoothly. Beautiful place to spend a summer job. You are properly equipped to enjoy your off work hours👍. Thanks for sharing.
Nice new camp, and summer job! Have fun with all of it, Brian. I'm sorry you and Kelly split, but I wish you both success and joy. Safe travels and see you soon the next one! New adventures ahead.
Thanks For The COOL Ride Brian 👏👏 It is Definitely Beautiful in Colorado💕❤️💯 Being a CG Host is Perfect For You You are The real McCoy 🌟 For Being You💯 God Bless🙏✝️🕊 Happy Trails 😎🌄 Safe Travels 🚐🙌
beautiful area... I took my kids to the Colorado wilderness at the start of covid. it was very beautiful. glad all is doing well. I do believe you were the first van life person I started following years back and look forward to more of your videos. take care!
You look so much better Brian! So content and back to your normal self! Awesome camp ground too, can’t wait til the next video, let’s see if there’s any trophy rainbow trout in that pristine river 🎣
That looks beautiful Brian! Hope your summer is peaceful. We know the challenges of hosting. Hopefully you will be able to take in all the good moments you will have. 😊
Keep yr Chin Up & Your ❤ Open 🤓👍...... Things will fall into place as they should. Much love From Michigan. Who knows,,,when you least expect it ❤will be there knocking on yr door. Ya never know who will be on the other side... Keep your heart ❤️ Open👍🤓👍
Wow the scenery...incredible opportunity...looking forward to seeing how the fishing is...I think your going to sleep well at this job/site...good for you brian..
Brian, Welcome to Colorado. Sorry to learn about "the split". We camp hosted for several years at a couple National Parks and a State Park. Over all it was a great experience and we enjoyed our time doing that. We met some great folks in the vast majority. Once in a while a grumpy unhappy camper comes along and there is little you can do to help them. Keep up the great attitude you have and let it roll off. You are providing a great service for little pay. Enjoy your summer and experiences. You are a good guy.
looking at that place on google maps it does look really remote! street view has a bunch of "photo spheres" for the camp down the road by the lake but there's zero where you are. looking forward to seeing the campground in your upcoming videos! thanks for taking us along for the drive, sure is scenic up there.
I'm pretty sure i have a picture of me and my motorcycle in front of that Himes peak sign. Seems like you got a sweet little gig there as camp host. Congratulations, I hope it works out for you!
Congratulations on being a host! You have our support and encouragement. I hosted last year and it was marvelous. The concessionaire and district rangers were great to work for and made it a breeze for me. Your smile says it all.
Feels like the old Brian is back and ready for adventures 😊
I'm stoked for you Brian.
The adventure continues.
Glad morale has improved. You’re where you need to be. What a blessing.
I hope and pray 🙏🏼 that you have a wonderful summer in that pristine camp ❤
Perfect job for you, Perfect summer job for a lot of folks. You will be the famous campground host!

@@AdventureVanMan not sure but there are lots of bugs especially in the spring and summer. Love that area though!
@@AdventureVanManAre the cicadas out there now? They are abundant in Illinois.
@@AdventureVanMan I don't know if they have moved that far east, but I know Nevada and Utah are full of Mormon crickets. That sounds like them.
Colorado is one of the most beautiful states. IMHO.👍🏻
Beautiful area! So glad you're settled into such a nice place. The smile on your face and your sunny disposition says wonders. Enjoy your summer!
WOW, WOW, WOW!! Absolutely beautiful! I can't imagine sleeping with your window open, listening to the rushing water. You hit the jackpot with this job ... and at the perfect time. Lucky you Brian. Life is good. ♡
Lucky campers to have you, you always notice whatever is ‘popping/‘, or stopping! Great Deer footage❤Have 🤩 fun🎉

A new adventure for you. Loved seeing the beautiful scenery and looking forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing.

Currently in Georgia for about 4 more weeks, then heading to Colorado myself. I so miss it! Congrats Brian !
WOW! What a beautiful place to work. Good for you. Rock on!

Hey man that's awesome you're coming to CO I've lived here my whole life. hope all is well!

Just what the doctor ordered, wilderness, wildlife, fresh air and work. It looks beautiful there I’m sure you will enjoy the summer, God Bless
WoW, you landed a great gig, Brian! And although the $pay may not be the best, I know you’re being rewarded in so many other ways! Soak it in…God’s country! ✌🏼
What a complete shift in your energy! I hear your Yes. Having a dog on the road effects every decision. Welcome home.
Welcome to the area I grew up in. I'm from Steamboat, but we spent a lot of time in the Flat Tops (to the north) and that area. Glad to see a van lifer in the Northwest part of CO, my favorite part. We might drive up and visit you this summer.
I’ve driven that route along 70 SO many times. It’s one of my favorites.
I love the section through the Fishlake National Forest too!
Thanks for bringing back good memories. It's been years since I've been where you are now, but for 30 plus years we enjoyed our yearly trips to the White National Forest. Have a great time in the mountains.
Really looking forward to these upcoming videos up there this Summer!!!
i like videos from CO. Thanks Brian.
Great Summer Job, You need to learn fly fishing and kept us updated on the fly hatches happening right now as you release your video 😃
I do have my fly rod with me!
21:01
I'm jealous, that's going to be great fishing when the water slows down a bit.
(edit) - "Nature is the place to be"... That's a great idea for t-shirts.
Awesome sene of the Green and Deer, that would help me heal and forget the trouble! ❤
Happy for you, Brian.
Best video yet, Brian! Love the music when you pulled into camp.
All the best on the new summer job. Hopefully none of the campers gives you a hard time and everything goes smoothly. Beautiful place to spend a summer job. You are properly equipped to enjoy your off work hours👍. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoy your new job. Any idea when you will start selling your spoons and stuff?
I have a few spoons. you can email at adventurevanman.yt at gmail if you are interested. I have a 2 hour round trip drive to the post office though!😆
Nice new camp, and summer job! Have fun with all of it, Brian. I'm sorry you and Kelly split, but I wish you both success and joy. Safe travels and see you soon the next one! New adventures ahead.

Stunning, what a place to call the office! 🥳👌🏻
That looks perfect, Brian! I'm happy for you! Enjoy your summer!
You seem content and totally in your element now and I love it!
It's almost impossible to read somebody through a screen & I'm sure he's still hurting pretty Badly over it ending.
@@bayside6207 You're sure? Did he tell you that? Its almost impossible to speak "for" someone you don't even know and who doesn't know you.
Looking forward to future videos 👍👍
Keep yr Chin Up & Your ❤ Open 🤓👍......
Things will fall into place as they should. Much love From Michigan. Who knows,,,when you least expect it ❤will be there knocking on yr door.
