This Camp is Closed - Colorado VanLife

  • In this video I leave my camp at Oliver Reservoir in Bushnell, Nebraska. The free campground I was staying at for the last 9 days was already closed for the season. A local Sheriff stopped by to let me know to move on when I could. I make my way into Colorado. I find a quick place to overnight on the east side in The Rockies. Then I move over to Cucharas Canyon at the Kenner Ranch BLM area near Walsenburg, Colorado. This was a great place to camp and get some solitude and time with the land. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for being here!
    *My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
    Thanks for watching!

    That closing image of you Brian, at the end of the video, staring into the flames... I know that look. the feeling of contentment, of being alive, there is no alone, just a man and his thoughts!!!

    What a difference between your Nebraska campsite and the Cucharas Canyon one. I love pinyon/juniper forest - it reminds me of the Bishop area on 395. Incredible sunset time-lapse. Season's greetings to you and your loved ones.

    You flew clear through Colorado so quickly without showing the Denver area to my dismay. You were just exiting onto I-25 South from Wyoming, then I saw the Fort Collins road sign but suddenly you mentioned Walsenburg. Luv the remote campsite you ventured toward. If not for those deep ruts I’d imagine getting my Class A back yonder for fourteen days of frontier living but then again it does appear doable prior to the ruts. Thanks for sharing this point of interest for a future freebie hideaway, peace and solitude. 🚌
