Blue carrying his own leash is the cutest thing ever!!!💜
Blue is nothing short of an earth angel. I love his face so much.
Blue is the cutest! I want one just like him!
I was in Jacksonville once and it was 100% humidity and NOT RAINING. Southern humidity is beyond anything else.
lol Blue's face as you're killing the mosquitos...he's such a cutie. Hope he's feeling better. Safe travels for you both!
I know blues feeling icky is probably done and over & doing fine.
But here's some thoughts as to why he puked. He went from winter (you sure left at a good time, we got major snow storms in Wisconsin/Michigan this past few days!) To hot humid! He ate and then ran and exercised, which I'm sure brought on over heating and getting a upset tummy. Even after resting he was panting. Being double coated he is still wearing his winter coat, and the change in environment will take time.
I always check my dogs gums if they have puked. If they are pale or white they are sick, if they are pink or reddish don't be as worried.
Poor blue. Just a suggestion. I would change up balls depending on the types of soil your at because it looks like he ate a lot of sand with the tennis ball. Also when dogs get over heated it's best if you wait to give them water or food until they cool down. This should help with them not getting sick.
We give orange pedilite to make sure they have fluid and Pepto if he throws up.
I didn't know that.. about dogs needing to cool down before getting water. He was in the seawater..yucky taste to swallow...
that plantation is beautiful, but terrifying
You need an electronic insect zapper racket. It's so satisfying.
Prayers for Blue❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
As a Louisiana native, it was so funny seeing you experience all of this for the first time! LOL!
Yaayyy!! It’s our Maria and Blue pupperloo!! ❤
🤠
@@roamingreckless❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
Ugh! Yes! That Southern heat!
Sending love ♥️
Have fun!!
Blu baby ♥️🐾♥️
The photos you took at that beautiful plantation are gorgeous! POE looks pretty badass on that beach. Mosquitoes are attracted to light. I’m with you on the issue of the bugs. Hope Blue is feeling better. 🙏🐾🐾☮️
Have you been to Gulf Shores or Orange Beach, AL? Its where I live and yes the humidity is awful but we love the area. My husband and I own an AC company here so we stay busy.. hope u enjoy the GOM
When I camp, at night I turn out the inside lights before opening the doors. I also have a usb powered bug zapper near the front of my minivan.
Good idea!
Louisiana is definitely not for the faint of heart. You are a trooper and I knew you’d make the best of it. I was sooooo waiting for this one from my home state. ❤
I totally understand about the bugs. I'd much rather sleep with dog puke. I sure hope that Blue is feeling much better already. ☺️🐕❤
Cutest. Dog. Ever. 🥇
Mosquitoes 😈😈😈 Dog puke for the win. 😂
lol , I am beginning to understand the reason for you channel name ... Man your all over the place young lady , so disorganized and discombobulated but I like the way you laugh at yourself .. your pretty humorous and I enjoy your travels ... Love that dog
When we lived in SC we took my grandson to Folly Brach near Charleston. We told him he could stay in thr water as long as he wanted to.We were watching him and about 50 feet behind him was a dorsal fin . We signaled for him to come in . He did, but asked us why just as we saw the dorsal fin once again.
I Pray you and Blue are doing well. I enjoy watching. You are so brave. I wish I could do that. But you a mosquito zapper, those things are awesome. I Pray Blue is ok. Well, enjoy your adventure. Thanks for sharing.👍😊🙏
Welcome to Louisiana, Maria. 👋 The mosquito is our state bird, lmao. If you think the humidity is awful now, come back in July or August when the temps are well into the 90’s. Our area of The Gulf is pretty shallow, too, so tons of sand, silt, and even mud swirling in that surf. This isn’t the most comfortable state for camping, imo.
hahah YES! One thing i dont miss about living in LA is the mosquitos! LOL
Like i always said : " we shouldn't fight wars...we should JUST send Mosquitos"
Welcome to South Louisiana if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes it's going to change LOL
There is nothing better than traveling with your pet I took my cat on the road for two weeks and he adapted very well to it, I was doing carlife trying it out and unfortunately my car broke down after 2 weeks but I loved that journey I'm hoping to do van life in the future.
I was thinking "maybe no books under the sink" when you said it. LOL. But seriously, I do hope your dog gets better. We live in TX and totally understand about the crappy mosquitos. Love your vids and defender.
Great to see you two out and about!
Try getting a magnet split screen. I hate mosquitoes and nats!
Feel better Blue.
Hope we see you soon!
Stay safe and cool.
Pick up bug spray.
NJ.
Awwww, poor Blue!! I hate that he was sick and I sure hope that he's all better now??😢
I'm with you, that would be a HUGE NO to those mosquitos😝 💙 how U smashed 'em!
Love the pink sky..Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning
And bugs love the light lol
Hey Maria! Loved the video as always 🌞 , Blue may have been sick from swallowing some of the sand on the ball.
Safe travels to you and Blue, dear one.
We went to gulf shores Alabama one year and the water was so clear you could see to the bottom.and the sand was white. I would highly recommend visiting there.
I see a lot of vacuuming with being on the gulf. Blue probably got too much sand in his mouth and swallowed it all. Love the Plantation! Pictures were great! Keep on Poe’n😊
I’m jealous…when I was a bit younger I would have loved being free to travel anywhere but family obligations stood in the way…so now I watch others travel ❤ I hope Blue gets to feeling better 😊
I’m thinking Blue maybe got overheated and ate too much sand. That could’ve made him sick. And, if he must’ve drank any of the sea water, it would’ve done it, too. I hope he got to feeling better really quickly! Love watching you both! Stay safe ❤
I was thinking the same - sand could be the main culprit. Even a little bit of sand can make dogs vomit for the whole evening/day. Same thing happened with mine.
Love seeing your smile
You are where the Mississippi River flows into the Gulf! Keep traveling the Gulf toward Panama City Beach and see the Gulf where it’s emerald green and blue! Truly Beautiful! 😀
Our muddy gulf is due to the tons of silt coming down the Mississippi River. Considering the River is close to a mile wide in certain places, that’s a lot of dirt. The good thing is the fish still like it!
Hey Maria here’s a tip to help keep you cooler at night while sleeping. Get yourself a lightweight cooling blanket ( not he weighted blanket kind).I got mine from Amazon and the one I have is double sided. (Spring/fall ;summer). I don’t have central air and just rely on fans and this blanket. Ps… my cats love lounging on it and they fold up real small , great when you have limited space.
HELLO ROAMING RECKLESS FAM.. yes girl another great vid keep up the great work. #STAYRECKLESS
tip on dirt/sand and how to keep your rig clean - get a Gorilla Grip All-Season WeatherMax Doormat. put right by your back door. easy to vacuum. I have one for camping. btw I am literally LOL'ing at the mosquito killing. I am the exact same way! haha
Poor Blue! I wonder if he drank salt water?
I have rechargeable lamps with bug zappers from Amazon that I keep in my car when car camping. They actually work ok.
Yeah, I would move the books asap. In college I stored some books on a bookcase and had a fish tank on the shelf above it. I went home for the weekend and my friend in the dorms came over and fed the fish for me and said she noticed that the water kept going down and so she kept filling it back up. She never bothered to check the tank but there was small hairline crack that slowly leaked all over my books under it. The was the last time I EVER stored books anywhere near water. Lol.
I live full time in my van and from upstate NY now in Arizona. Come to Southern Arizona, beautiful weather, and no humidity like the east coast!🚐👍
Definitely my home your describing. Love your channel oh and those plantations have deep meaning for us still but I’m glad you had fun
Mosquitoes are attracted to light. Turn off your inside light anytime you have to open the door. At the same time, have your fan blowing outward, they are very weak flyers. Fans are one of the best things to keep mosquitoes away. Also, Blue may have ingested some sand from playing with the ball, could def upset his stomach. Be safe and enjoy! ☮️❤️😎
Happy Saturday Pammy, That’s so thoughtful of you, Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how’s the weather over there?
Maria, I love all these videos that you put out and all these different states. It’s a lot of fun to see where you go next. The defender seems like a very heavy duty and reliable vehicle. I am glad that your friend fixed it up for you. He did a terrific job! BTW I’m from south east Michigan, born and raised.
The most fun adventure for a long time. Love, love, love it!
Lo siento chica but you get 1 demerit for not having bug spray! That Rosedown plantation was cool. Looks like you had the entire place to yourself! Love the "warface" look wit dos mosquitoes. I wouldn't wanna mess with you! Love your content (and your truck). Safe travels to you and Blue. 😎✌️❤️🙏
Maybe you should head up here to Canada Maria with all those sweaters! 🤣lol Hope Blue is OK..he's the sweetest 💓
Years ago I camped in San Blas FL on the Gulf of Mexico. I haven't been back to the area in years. But, at the time, it was beautiful. and, then camping in the Keys where the Gulf is on one side and the Atlantic Ocean is on the other.
So attractive! Love your black hair & Southern Euro looks. Thanks for making me smile 😊
Hi, Marie, the wetness under the sink could be condensation from the metal sink and pipes but a good idea not to have books there. try wrapping the pipes with something that will absorb the moisture. All the very best to you both & I hope blue feels better real soon from Nick in the UK x
Oh Blue handsome boy I hope he feels better immediately! You're doing great regardless of Murphy's law. But yeah, I would move those books even after the sink is fixed because never should books be under any water source. Take care and much Love to you both!
MANY rivers empty into the Gulf. I now live in Round Rock, TX (since 2011) (@ 15 minutes north of Austin) but grew up in Lake Jackson, TX……about 8ish miles from the gulf. Surfside beach. The rivers are what give the gulf its color. Boat a few miles off the coast and see some of the most beautiful water you’ll ever see. I’m a 76 yr. old MeeMaw and have been watching your and Blue’s (my grandson’s name is Blue🥰) adventures living vicariously through you and your “child”. Thank you. I don’t get to go on adventures much anymore. LOVE the vistas!!! More please!! Give Blue a kiss for me. 🥰
Also……BE SURE you have Blue checked for heart worms. (If he’s not already on a preventative). The mosquitos are where they get them…. from the bites. You’re the best “Mom”!!
How beautiful was this video! The beach is gorgeous 😍
I also wanted to say that defender suits you :)
Here's a prayer sent up for Blue -feel better fast!
Sorry to hear Blu has upset tummy. Maybe change of water. For the mosquitos...get you a good fat candle and light it..they will be drawn to it and sizzle or you can get you one of those portable zappers. Id aldo invest in one of those bug nets that magnetize shut. Ty for sharing your travel adventure with us. Love Poe!
Maria, any time you’re in the South always have a bug zapper. It is a must. You can get one at Home Depot.
Loving all of your book recommendations!
"I can't believe that fit" That's what she said! lol
Hey my dear, they make a portable bug zapper that she should be able to buy at most Walmarts or stores for camping you could probably find it somewhere online. They run off batteries or 12-volt, just FYI love you Channel, and your dimples. Charles thank you
Hope he gets better soon. Thanks for the video.
💜🦋💕
Camping @ the beach is awesome ❤️ it's a piece of paradise xx
A girl an reading a smart girl for sure 😂😂 thanks much
Another fun video! I just found out that the word ‘rove’ means to roam, so really your Land Rover and Roaming Reckless are made for each other 😄 . Keep on roving and roaming!
Yaaah! I live in Louisiana! Welcome to the humidity… the struggle is real
The beach is my favorite place ever. Blue 💙 you are amazing
You want to travel into Florida's gulf side. Beautiful blue water at Siesta Keys, Sanibel, Key West, to name a few.
For beautiful green/blue water go to the Emerald Coast across the peninsula of Florida on the Gulf. Also, summer or early fall is better. And yes, there are bugs on the beach! Always bring bug spray. Have fun.
You need a Thermacell for in Poe. I live in the U.P. and didn't believe the hype about Thermacells until we had mosquitoes hatch in our house last summer and had hundreds inside. I put a thermacell on my nightstand and had ZERO mosquitoes in my bedroom!
After living in Texas in the summer with broken A/C, and having to walk a mile to work each day. I never want to move back into that humidity ever again. Forget about cooling down in the shade. Funny story. My sister found a parking spot under a tree in the shade when she first moved down there, and thought how lucky she was to find such a perfect parking spot. When she came out, it was completely covered in bird poo.
When I lived there, these beetle like bugs were everywhere at night, but completely gone during the day. Since they went for any light they could see forget about leaving your porch light on, unless you don't use that door. The only bugs I dug were the fireflies we had a view from our porch.
I am glad I got out of there. I've lived in several states, but none compare to home (Utah).
I'd bet Blue got sick from swallowing the sand on the tennis ball. I learned that lesson the hard way. Only chuck it balls on the beach for us. Hope he feels better! Oh and I feel the same way about mosquitos. 😒
20:52 I can’t get over Blue’s face! He either thinks Ria’s mad at him, or he’s flabbergasted by another mosquito.
Love your videos we enjoy them been watching for some time. That 🥗 salad looked great..
YES!!! Back to adventuring! 🙌We're loving it. 👏
That beach is beautiful! 😍😍😍
Fun fact. I spend every evening watching one of your videos. Fantastic creator!!!
"oh no...my sink is leaking...my books are getting wet...let me put my books BACK WHERE THE LEAK IS (they're books... they'll be fine)" 😵💫🤪😅😂 but 💯🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ lol!!
Just found your channel, binge watched your video’s! Vary nice!! Hope Blue is feeling better! Impressed with your, “Mosquito Ninja Skills.”
Maria and blue on the road again love it here with you,be safe
I winter camped there many years ago. A couple snakes were drawn to the heat in my engine compartment. I didn't notice. What a mess! I smelled burning snake meat. I ended up having to powerwash the engine compartment of my 1970 Volvo station wagon!
Awe, I ❤ blue. I enjoy watching you live your life. Stay safe.
Lavender is a natural mosquito repellent. If you haven’t tried it, I highly suggest it. I use it for my body wash, hand soap and moisturizer. Is that overdoing it? Not where those suckers are concerned!
Haven't seen you since your car. Nice update - nice jeep. Blue is so cute! Looks windy and rugged on the beach, but beautiful1
I really could not think of a better vehicle for you. Sprinter vans are cool, but everyone has one. RVs are too big. It's just perfect for you. I just bought a new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, but I couldn't really do anything like this. Not even with an awesome canopy. Plus they don't look good with them, so I just sprung for a Tonneau Bed Cover,
I love how you think you know how many mosquitos there are in Poe with you!
She is absolutely beautiful and Blue looks like he is enjoying having her around.
Rutherford Beach was one of my favorite places last year.
I love your channel!! I just got me some merch!! I am getting the hoodie nextime!! much love to u and blue!!
Thanks so much for your support!
@@roamingreckless I hope u know how awesome u are!!
Omg the mosquitoes were horrible these past couple of weekends by the golf! I just did a camping weekend by the beach in Texas and we had the same issue with mosquitoes! Also make sure Blue is on heartworm preventative when traveling through the south. Mosquitoes will transmit them when they bite pups. Sorry you had a rough night because of mosquitoes!
blue supervising as you switch everything out lol
Hey hey! New subscriber. 2 things... Get a magnetic screen for the back of your truck, and on amazon there is a rechargable hand held Bug zapper that looks like a tennis racket. You wave it around to hit them and it legit zaps them! I have one bought for fruit flies that came from some fruit I bought, it was by far the funnest thing I've ever bought! Love you guys
Love Blue💚 Dang- a little cheap runner for the inside walk space.
If going to Banff, I would very much recommend getting an air horn. There are a lot of brown and black bears around the area at certain times of the year. I had a 10ft call with a brown bear and was VERY lucky. Those bear sprays, depending on wind, etc, I'm not so sure. Hitting one enough to stop it is probably about 30 - 40% chance. One blast on those loud ass air horns, you would get the answer to that age-old question, 'Does a bear shit in the woods?":))) ☘️
🤣loved your comment so true
@Venetta Macdonald Never mind bears, I'm sooo glad we don't get mosquitos!
Beignets are my favorite especially with a coffee at the Cafe Dumont in New Orleans
I can't wait to travel. Thanks for sharing ur journey.
Love your videos from one michagander to another. Blu is a really cool dog. Hope he gets feeling better 🥰🥰
I clicked so fast for the new video I hope you get the water fixed in the van you had me laughing absolutely about the flying 🐜 I love the drone shots❤ stay safe ❤
I would move your library from it's current spot. Also you should put like a little tupperware bin under the sink plumbing to catch the moisture/liquid. That way it doesn't ruin your wood.
With Blue feeling sick, might be a good time to check him for ticks. Not too many things make a dog sick. Something he ate or something that ate him. Hope he gets feeling better soon.
