I'd eat lunch in a cemetery. Each of the gravestones is a commemoration of someone, and reading their names helps to keep their memories alive. So, having lunch in a cemetery seems to me to be a respectful thing to do.
I enjoy frequenting cemeteries while on the road... Older ones in particular. Every one of those markers represents a life that has a story. I've always just found them to be interesting, peaceful places.
I've tried a few times to make multi-day videos on long rides and TBH, it is far more difficult that it seems...You are making it look easy, which means you are a true professional! Great story from the road, unfolding as it does...and your dinner looked beyond tasty. thanks for taking the time to put this together :)
Picnics in a cemetery used to be a common thing in bigger cities 100+ years ago, the open green space around a relatives headstone was usually used on their birthday and made a great place to remember past love ones with the family.
When I work for an apartment complex it was two blocks from the oldest cemetery in our city and I often would go there and have lunch or just take a break it had such character it always drew me to it. As a matter of fact shyler Colfax Lincoln's vice president is buried there along with several Studebaker Brothers.
I think I would feel it’s a beautiful thing if I saw someone picnicking in a cemetery. I would presume they were hanging out with someone they loved, that they were marking a special anniversary. I don’t know that it would be a first choice for me but I will consider it in the future. I think when I’m six feet under I would appreciate a bike passing by now and again.
Lunch in a cemetery...... Maybe. I don't think I have ever considered it. On my last long distance trip, I did realize that most souther churches have some sort of pavilion or covered picnic area and I started looking for churches for rest stops and meal breaks. LOL! But, I don't think I am averse to eating in a cemetery.
Amanda I'm soooo glad that the flysheet/ Superhero cape dance is still a feature, it neer fails to make me chuckle, ever. 😄👍 Whilst the 'walkby' dancing and bike dancing is just a fantastic bonus!! Damn those rascally racoons! The steak looked fabulous,. Yes I'd have lunch in a cemetary, they are usually beautifully kept, full of wildlife and quiet too.
I wish I knew why every time I see you do the rain fly dance, I laugh! Toured many cemeteries in Europe for lunch. Cool history to be learned with a simple walk. Ride safe!
I just returned from a 7 day trip. I spent one night in a hotel due to my sleeping pad failing. After two nights on the ground I was ready for a new sleeping pad and a night in a real bed. So I thought I would cook in my room only to find out that my stove set off the smoke alarm. Have you ever had that happen? I ended up having to cook in the bathroom with the door closed. Brian
Your cooking in the dark content works really well. If you do any more “how to’s” I’m sure a few of us filming nerds would be interested in the lamps/techniques you use.
You are an amazing lady !! I so enjoy your videos ... I have never thought of having lunch in a cemetery, but I ABSOLUTELY will from now on !!! Many of our cemeteries here in TEXAS have historical markers that make it public. I am NOT sure that camping with Llamas would be the sole reason for coming back to TEXAS .... but do come back. We are a "biker" friendly State. THANK you for sharing !!!
I would totally have lunch in a cemetery. They are parks and places to be for the living in addition to memorials for the dead. Père Lachaise in Paris, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York, and Mountain View Cemetery are all park like and encourage visits. I live near Mountain View and people walk there all the time. Every time I go through there are people relaxing and I've even seen picnics there too.
If I remember correctly at Texas A&M University in Collage Station. There is a cemetery that is between two dormitory buildings students take blankets/beach towels and sit, sun bath, talk, or what ever. And guess what, they do that in the cemetery like they had been doing it all their lives.
Twenty or so years ago my Daughter and I would picnic at the local cemetery. Old growth oaks, Spanish moss, and peacocks and peahens made for an excellent spot. After dozens of picnics there not no one there complained.
Hi Amanda I just want to say I live in Los Angeles and I enjoy all your videos. You're very brave going across the country by yourself camping in different places. It's very inspiring what you do I wish I could do it unfortunately I have a family and I can't leave the house but if I could I would go on an adventure just as you do. Thank you for the videos and be very careful out there.
You are an example to all of us as to what is possible with courage, tenacity and indeed will. Love you and your videos. You always bring a smile to our faces.
I’d have lunch in a cemetery anytime, and have. Keeping a respectful distance to anyone present. I often stop in to see local names. Love history and it’s peaceful.
My house backs onto a cemetery, it's great, there's no neighbors like dead neighbors. Dead neighbors are the best neighbors. It's mostly people just jogging through, pushing their strollers, walking their dogs, etc. My dad, grand parents, great grand parents, and a friend are all in there. I wouldn't sweat someone passing through just having a bite by their bike. Maybe if they had spouse, children, and a picnic blanket that would be a little much, but standing by your vehicle, no sweat. I'd do it! What are you filming on in your night shots? Great quality video.
I'm a week away from hitting the road and your camping and camping cooking is getting me hyped up. Yes, I have and would have lunch in a cemetary... along with a few other things.
"There's a lot of bugs"... I was fully expecting this, seeing you camping in Louisiana near that river, or pretty much ANYWHERE in the state, for that matter... I lived there for 13 years. The joke was that the mosquito was the state bird... And they were right. Loving this series.
Yes. I’ve had breaks in cemeteries a lot. Especially the older ones. But when you do it at night it has a different feel about it. Keep up the great work.
Another solid video. As always, thanks for sharing. I hadn't considered pulling off for snacks in a cemetery, but I did eat a granola bar and have a Gatorade at Hank seniors grave a couple years ago. Nothing wrong with arriving late to campsites. The golden hour shot going over the bridge looked really nice.
Yes, we have often eaten at cemeteries and stayed in caravans or mobile homes. we live and travel in europe and there is usually parking and water there and it's quiet there in the evenings and often nice too. but not inside because our cemeteries are small and cramped. Greetings from the Black Forest near Freiburg and thank you very much for your videos with your warm charm!
Great Video Amanda ! When we were camping in Salmon Idaho in 2020 . Someone was talking to us about a place in North Dakota that offers a similar experience. Sorry but we don’t recall the name or location.
There is a local cemetery that has a hill with a couple pines on top. I love going there with a lunch. Most of graves are from the 1800s around there. All the younger ones are farther back. Even the grounds keeper said come any time and talked to me about the history. Cool place.
The scene of you riding with one hand while dance to (music I’m guessing) is the most accurate thing I’ve seen when riding a bike and a Banger come on lol. Love the content. Hoping to do the same some day soon.
My first Moto camping trip was back at the end of April and our second campground had similar platforms for the tent sites. It sure kept the tents footprint nice and clean.😄 I would eat lunch in a cemetery, the residents keep to themselves which is always nice. 😂
Can’t say that I’ve eaten lunch in a cemetery, but I have walked in a few when I’ve traveled. Nice quiet place that usually has some interesting scenery.
I would total eat lunch in a cemetery. Back when I still worked in the office, I'd routinely take walks in a near by cemetery during my lunchbreak. It's quiet, no traffic and usually lots of shade.
Yes…in broad daylight! Amanda, you are the daughter I never had….but, my sons are awesome too! I’m looking forward to your next and next and next videos!
I was hitchhiking through Spain and found myself in San Sebastián. It was late at night when I arrived at a cemetery. As most cemeteries are quiet and not visited at night I put my groundsheet down and spent a restful night undisturbed. My neighbors were very quiet. I left at first light.
I would have lunch in a cemetery. I think it's kind of nice, and if there is something after death then I'm sure the souls there would appreciate the kind company.
I might not eat lunch in a cemetery 😅 that said I think cemeteries in the US seem a lot less compact than in Europe and more park-like so maybe I would if I found a quiet place
Definitely would lunch in a cemetery, too bad your timing overlapped a funeral service. Gotta believe the family was more focused on other things than someone eating peacefully (for all they know you were visiting a friend) 😜
A question I never pondered. I have stopped and walked through several small cemetery's that are dotted throughout New England, but never thought of stopping for lunch. I suppose it would be a nice quiet spot to do so.
For the end screen crew. If it is quiet and Shady I will eat there. That deck was a really nice place to camp at. That that would be a great place to Camp if it was raining LOL no mud to track into the tent. You should make up a map for everyone with all of the places you've seen that are interesting or worth stopping at around the country. I'd really like to plan a road trip with that map. Thanks for doing all the Scouting For Us LOL have fun stay safe
On a car trip in car back to New Hampshire from Kansas I parked overnight in a McDonald's parking lot somewhere in Ohio. When morning came it got too busy to keep sleeping so I went a ways down the highway and turned off when I got too tired to keep going. I found a small town cemetery and parked in the shady way back and napped for a couple hours in the morning. It was one of the most peaceful spots I got to park at.
Heck yes I would eat lunch in a cemetery/graveyard with my bike! I actually took my Grom, as soon as I got it, to my favorite graveyard in my city for a photoshoot! I did walk it through the graveyard so as not to disturb anyone. No engine revving there.
Chillin in a cemetery of course-it is a peacful place indeed. I don't know about anybody else but after the le stopped by my peace would have vanished. Hope you were not too upset by the encounter.
Where I come from police do not talk to you unless you're doing something wrong. So forgive me if I seemed defensive, but if your only interaction with an authority is not good, it's hard not assume each time you're approached it's not going to be good.
Amanda, As a retired LEO from/in Texas, I can speak only from my experience. 98% of all Officers I knew/know and worked with only want positive interactions with people. Respect is appreciated and seen as a two way thing. I know some places are different and some Officers are different. Not all Physicians have good bedside manners.
Hello Amanda. Love the handlebar mits. No better way to keep your hands warm. Didn't realise your little air pump doubled as a light. How often do you have to charge it. Some times you seem to downplay the size of your 500X. Always found 500s to be the do-anything bike without the weight. Had handfuls of them. As for graveyards, having been privileged to witness someones life force leave in the middle of the night on a C ward, I see a graveyard only as a place to leave a marker for those left behind. So a little bit of respect for the "left behind", but a quiet break, why not. Hi from Germany.
I was surprised to find out KOA campgrounds don't have much for tent camping anymore, some don't have any. And yes I would have lunch in a cemetery.LOL
Hey Amanda, can I get your opinion? I have been doing most of my road trips (5k to 10k trips, mostly state highways with some 2 track) on a VN900C and the off roads parts are, well, sketchy. I have been debating getting a VStrom650 or the CB500x, mainly because I can't justify the expense of a T700 or the highway appeal of the new KLR. I have notice that you always talk highly of your cb500, have you ever considered a VStrom and what is it about the Honda (other than their immortal engines) that you like so much? Appreciate any feedback and I love your videos. Still amazed that you got shadetree out in a tent.
I have family in Elizabeth! So cool to see you there. And camping on the platform in Louisiana is a good thing. Fewer critters. Well... except for the raccoons. And I have never thought of having lunch in a cemetery. Girlfriend... That one is all you.
Your hotel cooking is what made me decide to buy an isobutane stove for traveling. Liquid fuel just wouldn't work for that. I have two questions. Can you find fuel at Walmarts, and has a hotel ever gotten on you about residual cooking smells in a room? Thanks much.
1) yes you can find isobutane at Walmarts 2) always cook either in the bathroom with the exhaust fan on or next to the window with it wide open. Never cook fish, refried beans, tomato based sauces or anything with a significant smell in a room. I always cook simple vegetables and a starch of some kind, always cleaned up after myself and never leave evidence that you cooked anything you wouldn't be able to cook in the microwave. It's only a problem if you make it a problem for them too. Is my mentality. I have never gotten a knock on the door or an extra bill at the end. It's just about being thoughtful of how you're leaving the space.
I’ve been a police officer for 25 years. I’ve eaten plenty of meals in cemeteries over those years. They are very peaceful places.
I'd eat lunch in a cemetery. Each of the gravestones is a commemoration of someone, and reading their names helps to keep their memories alive. So, having lunch in a cemetery seems to me to be a respectful thing to do.

Great story from the road, unfolding as it does...and your dinner looked beyond tasty. thanks for taking the time to put this together :)
My wife and I always end up at a cemetery on trips, they are always quiet and are peaceful, great Video, keep your energy up.
Cemeteries are our rest stops. Nobody has ever bothered us.
Rock on magpie

As a matter of fact shyler Colfax Lincoln's vice president is buried there along with several Studebaker Brothers.
Sometimes finding shade and a quiet place lands one in a cemetery. Totally normal. And I’m sure the residents didn’t mind the company.
I'm so glad you enjoyed everything you did in my homestate of Louisiana.
End screen crew answer: Yes, absolutely. But then I have no shame. 😂
I think I would feel it’s a beautiful thing if I saw someone picnicking in a cemetery. I would presume they were hanging out with someone they loved, that they were marking a special anniversary. I don’t know that it would be a first choice for me but I will consider it in the future. I think when I’m six feet under I would appreciate a bike passing by now and again.
I have had lunch in cemeteries before, and would again. They are peaceful.

I love the fact that Amanda uses smaller bikes in her travels. Safe journeys Amanda
CB500 is not small, - Honda c90 is!;o)

Cemetaries used to be my favorite spots for a stretch break and a p and a cool one!
It's perfectly fine to have lunch in the cemetery love your content that's awesome what you're doing
Amanda, I love your video's because they are not loaded with BS that others use to fill some space. You though are just amazing. Ride safe
Shade Tree was a riot! Fun episode. You rocked dinner tonight. Well done!

Worked in a cemetery for 5 years. Ate lunch there every day 🤣😂
But even now, yea, I'd eat at one. Older the better.

Just wanted you to know how much all of us viewers enjoy your channel. i skipped a week just so i could watch 2 new videos in a row. Great job.
I would definitely have lunch in a cemetery....dinner however would be a different story 😅

Another great upload of your epic journey. I have to admit that I never thought of having lunch in a cemetery. That said, sure why not? Eric
I'm an old man just getting into riding the last 4 years. I just want you to know that you are such an inspiration.
Thank you so much Mike!
This was definitely a more chilled/laidback video. I like the night scene of your camp.
I used to “picnic” in a cemetery across the street from my old job during my lunch break. It was quiet and peaceful up there with benches and shade.
I absolutely love your videos…!!!!
Can’t wait to see the next one.
And yes, I would have lunch in a graveyard.
Yes. I’ve had breaks in cemeteries a lot. Especially the older ones. But when you do it at night it has a different feel about it. Keep up the great work.
Oh by golly! Love to see your travels! Makes me happy! Just do the thang!

been wanting to do road trip on my vulcan s 650 kawa . but i done day trips i problably dont have the stamina .yes cemeterys are peacefull usually .
Cemeteries are one of my favourite liminal spaces - so yes I would have lunch in one. Also I loved the guitar music on this video, rather lovely.
Yes to lunch in a cemetery. Good quiet, pretty place to rest your mind for a bit.

Why not! Usually there no body there and there is shade trees and nice lawn. Sounds good to me.
Louisiana in June, humidity central 🙃, stay safe 🌎 🕊 ❤
Reminder that this was March.
Families used to picnic in cemeteries all the time
Thanks again for great video! Amanda 🌹

Yeah, I use to go to Athens a lot, when I drove trucks, it sucks!
Nice vid, really enjoying the series. As for lunch in a cemetery… nah not for me… everyone to their own though 😎
Out doing the thing. Amanda hope your trip is going well.
I would have lunch in a cemetery. I think it's kind of nice, and if there is something after death then I'm sure the souls there would appreciate the kind company.

Hello from Louisiana hope you enjoyed it
sure, be able to enjoy a nice quiet meal that way.
Yes I would eat lunch in a cemetery it's a great place to take a break

Chillin in a cemetery of course-it is a peacful place indeed. I don't know about anybody else but after the le stopped by my peace would have vanished. Hope you were not too upset by the encounter.
As a retired Officer, I hope your overall impression and interaction was positive.

@@AstheMagpieFlies I started to freak out when he asked if you were travelling. Answering questions like that can often get you into trouble.
It seemed like he didn’t want loitering on the grounds..as in setting up shop. But just passing through was alright.
Lunch in a cemetery - Yes
(done it many times)
Sleep in a cemetery - also yes
Curious to know what town you were in where the cemetery was!
super video, one of the best productions that I watch
Well I never have had lunch in a cemetery. But it doesn't sound like the worst place I've seen some nice ones here and there.
Hello Amanda.
Love the handlebar mits. No better way to keep your hands warm.
Didn't realise your little air pump doubled as a light. How often do you have to charge it.
Some times you seem to downplay the size of your 500X. Always found 500s to be the do-anything bike without the weight. Had handfuls of them.
As for graveyards, having been privileged to witness someones life force leave in the middle of the night on a C ward, I see a graveyard only as a place to leave a marker for those left behind. So a little bit of respect for the "left behind", but a quiet break, why not.

I would have lunch in a cemetery. They are usually very quiet and unpopulated, at least by the living.
Absolutely!! no one bothers you! What are the “pouches” on your handlebar grips for? Love your gourmet meals!
Believe they are insulated mitts to keep your hands warm in cold weather, similar to what snowmobile riders use.
@@csolivais1979 I believe they are "hippo hands"
