    For my first night on the road I decided to take a stop at the Meadow Hot Springs for a relaxing first night back in the van..... at least that was the plan.
    These hot springs weren't as warm as I was expecting, but at least the fish were cool. The fish ranged from African Cichlids, Goldfish, Mollies, and even a few Tilapia, all of them very far from the Aquarium lol.

    Crazy part is I’ve been in Utah 4.5 years and haven’t been camping but once. Watching these videos I’m always invested, never really notice the time just when they’re over because im like I need more.

    1991 I converted an Astro van. I loved that van and had a great cross country adventure. Driving an 04 sprinter now that I converted. When I was your age I had a yellow love truck with a shell and did a cross country tour. People had trucks with homemade campers and pot belly stoves inside. We were so cool. I do not think there was nearly as many people on the road, but I did get the knock one time. It was a blast…wish I had more time just for traveling and camping. This is a beautiful country. ENJOY every moment! Have fun. Also, you did a great job on that van. That was one of my favorites.

    New to the channel...I bought a van and hope to get out on the road soon, but it's been challenging financially. I nned to get some kinda build done eventually.
    I feel ya, I like people but yet I don't like people. I'm very friendly but have never "fit in" so anywhere I go I'm always like...why even try? But I still do, and yea, that was kinda creepy!
    I'm gonna take a little bit of that dinner idea and make a keto cream of chicken w/sausage and keto noodles...plus maybe some seasoning...yummmm!

What a beautiful and scenic area you were in--awesome video as always.

    When you are around other campers especially when they have children find a way to say hello and chat a little. When people see a guy all by himself they worry a little. If you stop and ask a friendly question like, Where are you from it lets them see you are not an axe murderer. If you see they are from out of state ask them about camping and fishing where they live.

    Hey Bronson. Those look like tropical fish, cichlids. I wonder if they're native. Inquiring minds want to know. Too bad the hot springs weren't hot enough. I think you said you were going to Death Valley this trip. I saw a post that there's water covering the valley. Looks like an ocean. Check it out. That looked like a delicious, quick fixed meal. Those are always the best especially when you're hungry. 😎😎

    • @bgrace27
      @bgrace27  7 месяцев назад +1

      They are tropical fish! I noticed Convict cichlids, jewel cichlids, tilapia, and some mollies meaning all of them were transplanted probably from a fish tank lol.
      I sure will be in Death Valley, and soon too! I’m going to go swimming “lower than the ocean” I’m excited, thank you!
