    You demonstrated the two reasons I find boondocking a challenge. One: spending a lot of time scouting and two, rough road on the rig. And then you go demonstrating all the wonderful reasons we continue to boondock! Love flagstaff.

      The transmission is probably expensive as well.

    I've struggled with the same issue in Flagstaff National Forest 😅! It can be tricky, but as you have taught us all, if you keep searching, you will usually find a peaceful spot to unwind. 🌲🚐 Carolyn, I've really enjoyed following your journey through Flagstaff and the Coconino National Forest. 🌲 I hope VIOFO lets you keep the camera! The new views and perspectives were awesome. I've been watching your videos since I was 19 (I'm 27 now), and your adventures during RV life have been truly inspiring! 🚐💖

    Tofu tip from a South Korean doctor: save the liquid from tofu - freeze it if you can. Room temperature tofu liquid is an effective treatment for frostbite. Soak a small washcloth in some tofu liquid and place it on the damaged skin. Repeat when the liquid reaches skin temperature.
    Works for sunburn too.

    I love to hear the elk bugle! I really like Estes Park, Colorado. My parents went out there several times a year after they retired. After my dad passed away we took Mom out quite a few times and in the evenings we would drive out to where there was a meadow where the elk gathered and could hear them bugling. The night sky where you camped was beautiful with so many stars!

    Since it was high of 38F in Flagstaff this morning I reckon this video is not current. I know you always have a lag time in publishing. I've been a viewer since the days of Capone, he was a happy sweet boy. I know you still carry him in your heart, Sadie is a cutie and a sweetheart. I still carry my sweet girls Zoie and Terra in my heart, I raised those girls from pups, they were my besties. They passed in 2021 at the age of 16 years old. I still have one dog left, Tango, he's 15 years old. He got along ok with the girls but I didn't think he would get along with a new younger dog and honestly I don't know if I have the heart to get another dog once he passes.

    @katecornell8233 2 дня назад

    National forests have "travel management" plans. They have dramatically cut back on allowable roads, which is why you found that sign. Yes, it's a good road with camping spots, but they are trying to cut down on people ruining the forest so they aren't letting people drive on them anymore. I have lived near Kaibab National forest since the 70s and we are unable to drive on most of the forest roads now. It sucks. Coconino forest, where you were, is the same. Many people ignore the signs and drive on them anyway. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Carolyn, OMG, the RUclips took you away from me. I hadn't heard a peep in months/or years?. Maybe because I was rabbitt-holeing(sp?) with some true crime channels, only cause I like the mystery and suspense of it all, and they tend to have more podcast type videos that I can listen to at work. But trust me, I watch so many different channel genres, like: crime, politics and current events, boonddocking, gardening, farming and homestead, homelessness in the US, herbs and herbal treatments, anything horse related, animal rescue, medical care related, DIY anything, old house restoration, Art, crafts, sewing, abandoned house walkthrough, ghosts and paranormal, Aliens, Bigfoot, car care stuff, etc...the Sky is the limit with my viewing habits. But suddenly, here you are in my suggested feed, straight up out of the blue.
    I then realized that I had been unsubscribed😢, so I resubbed. Just wanted to let you know that I was a fan from like 2016 or 17? So Nuts how YT butts someone out like that, but I'm back now. 🎉❤😊
