    Seems to me that Nikki loves doing what she’s doing. She is one of those folk who is energetic , loves the outdoors , animals , is an achiever instead of being ( if only I could do that whiner )
    I take my hat off to her and love the gleam in her eyes and her enthusiasm for life.
    God love you Nikki

    I dont think Nikkis viewers realize how dedicated she is to filming. All these shots where she's walking from far away with camper is Nikki literally leaving the camera filming on a stand, walking far away from it, walking around doing whatever, then walking alllll the way back to the camera and then continuing her journey. It's so time consuming especially on the hikes.

      @@moksha1167 I definitely prefer to have my dog off-leash when possible. They get a lot more exercise that way, and get to experience freedom. I never let mine run around dragging his leash -- I'm concerned Camper will get injured doing that.
      I understand that Camper will go nuts and disappear if he spots something like a squirrel and Nikki will probably have a bad time right after that if he's off-leash. Mine never runs off but my previous one had to stay on the leash unless he was fenced in.

    My wisconsin neighbor bought a chrysler min van to go sking in colorado and biking all over california and utah. Large agm battery under the passenger seat for coffeemaker and inverter and microwave. Tons more room in the mini van and double the ground clearance. Big deck on the trailer hitch allows 40 gallons of water in a plastic box in back. Plus a shower and small lp grill. He has been sking 3 months and is very comfortable.
    I know the prius has lots of room inside but the mini van to a sprinter would be so much more comfy.
    I have a gen 1 sequoia and if I pulled the 2 rows of rear seats you could sleep 2 and have a comfy setup inside. Plus the 4wd and 11.5 inch clearance is useful on trails and gravel.

We bought a retirement home here in February of 2020 and moved here full time in April of 2021 after I retired from the railroad in LA. We’re over on the west side of town off Thumb Butte road and there are great hiking trails up to and around Thumb Butte and there are also great hiking trails around Watson Lake on the north east side of town, you should give it a try. It would make a great video for your channel too exploring the area and Camper would love the grass around court house square and the people on whiskey row.
