    If this Boondocking spot had palm trees you would have thought we were at a tropical oasis!! Instead we traded those palm trees in for Aspen trees..... and it couldn’t have been more PERFECT!! In fact we love this spot SO MUCH that we spent a full two weeks at this location!

    This week end , we did our fist little trip with our promaster van that we just finished. We drove from Bay area and spend the night in Sonoma. No issue with the fire and smoke. We used our WEBASTO and we noticed the known design flaw. The pump part under the van does a clicking noise. Apparently there is a fix.

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  4 года назад +1

      Congratulations on your first trip! Our webasto makes that sound only the first time we get it going. After that I don't notice the sound. We still need to test it more as the first cycle trips out our house battery. 🤔 We will try the first cycle on the vehicle and the rest on the house battery to see if that's better.😂 Any plans for your next Advanture? We hope to do a free hot springs tour as the snow falls as soon as we finish up with this sugar beet harvest here in Montana. It's good to hear from you and we are excited for your up and coming trips. 😀

I’m away from home and on my own getting repairs done to van including getting a heater installed. I needed something to cheer me up and I knew immediately your channel would do it. Love the picture drawn of Roodle. What an incredible spot once again you found and great drone footage and videography of the scenery. I’m going to catch up on what I’ve missed. I want to tell you how grateful I am for your channel. You two keep it real and are so upbeat and generous in sharing your lives. I appreciate all the hard work you put into creating content for your channel. You’re so inspiring to me and I’m sure others.

    Boondocked in that area for about a week. Watched the solar eclipse. Did an amazing 3 day hike, in the wind river range. Found a canoe someone had stolen I guess and hidden up a scree slope under some bushes at an alpine lake??and used it to catch some nice trout.They used forked tree limbs and nailed flattened tin cans to them to make paddles. Had an amazing time, and I will come back some day! Hopefully this summer. It was really crowded though, because of the eclipse and it was in the path of totality. The rangers said they had never seen it that crowded before.

    that structure looks like an old boat house, my uncle had one at the edge of his lake, and they would park boats inside to keep from getting water in them from rain storms and could pull them onto log rails out of the water in winter so the ice wouldn't damage the hull. Not sure if this is what it is, but sure looks like one to me.

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  3 года назад

      I think you are right about it being a boathouse. A few others said the same. Makes good sense to pull it out before the ice.😎

    What month did you go there? I'm dry camping near Sturgis, S.D.. in July, and it's hot here!!! 2023 heat wave all across the U S.!
    Also was the beach area too soft of ssnd to park close to?

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  Год назад

      We were there in August. You can only park in designated areas, but it was only about 30-40 ft from the beach. The key to escaping the heat it to find high elevation destinations, preferably with water. Most people think it will be cooler if they head north, not true unless you go up in elevation. Sturgis SD is 3, 422 ft above sea level.... way to low! Willow Lake in this video is at 7,703 ft above elevation.

      Yes we are filtering lake and stream water! It's been great to have the flexibility to stay longer. If the water looks muddy we will skip it as that will shorten the berkey filters life much faster.

    That building looks like some sort of boat house because of the opening towards the water. If the lake level has risen, then I would just say it was a primitive cabin with a great view. Have you two ever considered going somewhere and do gold panning in a stream or river? It would be fun because you could stay in a spot and pan for a few days/week. Fun and profitable. Just thinking out loud, it would be a fun adVanture. Another great video. Can't wait to have my van done. Issues now with Dometic Fridges- so many bad reviews on the new models. Not sure what I'll do so just waiting for the issues to work themselves out. Thanks for sharing such a great video.

      Gold panning and staying on a mining claim is something we have talked about a lot! We think as free camping gets harder to find this is something we will consider. I use to hunt for gold with a metal detector and did very well. This would be great fun to do and make videos of. 😀😀😀 Sorry to hear about the new Dometic refrigerator. This is definitely an important decision as this will be one of your biggest power draws. I know you will get it all worked out and find something perfect. 😀

      South Dakota makes it super easy to become a resident. You only need to spend one night in the state and have a recipe. They also have very cheap registration and insurance and a bonus of no state tax. We got set up in Box Elder, South Dakota with America's mailbox. The give us a home address and forward our mail /vehicle registration right to us. It took Carrie and I eight minutes to get both our new state driver's license.
