    Jimmy..I learned about hail ...I have two air capable inflatable Coleman ground sleeping mats that are stored under my rig bed mattress for easy access to place one over my hood, the second one over my Navion windshield. Even in there un inflatable state, are thick enough, padded enough to keep hail damage from happening! The “Coleman MAX “mat as two grommets holes at the roll up flap and the opposite end have two straps that allow 4 short ropes to attach to. Then long bungee cords to secure to bummer and wheels. The one for windshield attaches to door handles so it stays in place with the wind etc. I hope you can visualize that easy protective method....saved my rig in Florida twice now and once in Louisiana. So sorry about that hail!! Glad u ok! And Scott head!!

    So glad you got to experience "The Garden of the Gods". It's gorgeous, such beautiful film. My father took us horseback riding in Pikes Peak and then he pulled a trailer to the top with a station wagon. He was a brave man LOL! He loved camping and I hope he's in the heavens camping away. Have fun and stay safe Jimmy!

    Like your channel. I'm glad your hanging with Teri and Scott. The tribe is awesome. Be safe. ⚡🌩🌧🤠. The weather this year is crazy. You mentioned Arkansas as a kid, and I went to college in Clarksville. The college of the Ozarks now university of the Ozarks. Travel safe the Northwest is nice and cool minus hail. Carolyn is there and it's beautiful. Ever since bass pro bought cabellas you can boondock there too.

    Weather happens - anywhere... It's summer also, and unless you're right on the ocean it's going to hot in the lower elevations. It sounds like you're having a "meh" time lately, and Colorado isn't what you envisioned. However, "freak weather" happens all over the United States in the summer and sometimes it's a "roll of the dice" to find a comfortable and cool spot.
    I'm so sorry that you and the others were caught in that storm, and glad everyone is basically OK. The roof lid cover on Teri and Scott's camper is an inexpensive and easy fix.
    A really fun event if you all are in the area is Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, WY from July 20-29. There are lots of free events (free pancake breakfast, parades, etc...) Parking is a little problematic, but when I went with a group we dry camped at a VFW grassy lot and gave a donation.
    At any rate, I hope the summer improves and you all find that "sweet spot" to enjoy.
    Take care, Cheryl

    Jimmy, I know this is an old Vlog, but Colo. always has weather that way, It rains almost every afternoon between 1&3 then the sun will come back out, most of the time......
    I was born in Sidney Nebraska, & raised in Omaha. My Grandparents lived in Sidney & had a cabin up in RED FEATHER LAKES COLO. Talk about Beauty, that is God's Country for sure. Dead Man's Mountain is up there. where a Man & a Bear fought to the death of both of them. There is also Lost Lake up there. they called it that because the Indian could find it, but the Soldiers could never find them there... Oh the Soldiers found it once, but there is a sister area up there that looks just like it so it confused them & they never found it again...
    Anyway, I spent every summer up in Red Feather from the time I was 2 until I was 16. I miss the Mountains. After my Grandparents died, my parents sold the Cabin, which ripped my heart out of my chest. My heart hasn't been right since... Anyway that is how I know so much about what goes on out there. I also lived in Westminster & Ft. Collins for awhile.... So where have I ended up? MICHIGAN....... MUCH TO MY DISMAY....

  • @dreacero9116
    @dreacero9116 5 лет назад

    Lol Colorado weather is a beast of its own. Your reaction to it helps me to understand why I rarely see videos of other rv/van dwellers coming to visit the Centennial State. While Colorado is full of beauty and wonder, you have to really watch the weather forecast. Me? I want to visit other states but I will always come home to Colorado.

    @kodeywhitewolf5756 6 лет назад

    Holy shot. Big hail balls. Yup Colorado gets crazy weather. I was there in '92 summer that night temps dove down to 30s and when I drove out next morning there was snow on top of the tall trees. But it sure is pretty out there. Stay safe / keep enjoying

  • @lesliebillb3639
    @lesliebillb3639 6 лет назад +6

    I wonder if you've noticed dents in the locals' cars. Just wondering. No, your leftovers did not look scary at all. Some dishes improve on their second presentation's taste. You had me at collard greens. Thanks for this one. Always good to see you!

  • @Shycat996
    @Shycat996 6 лет назад

    Colorado is known as the hail capital. Every May through June we seem to get these storms and damage usually too. Hope your van survived. You are so right about the weather. In the mts it is not quite as bad, but .... anyway it keeps it interesting living here. everyday is a bit different and we do get a lot of sun.

  • @BubbaWarbucks
    @BubbaWarbucks 6 лет назад

    Hail is often associated with tornadic activity because of the amount of atmospheric uplift required to freeze the ice pellets over and over again. I'm glad there was no more serious damage than there was.

    Extreme weather, crazy weather that’s Colorado, usually it doesn’t last very long and it changes to something else. When I live there I was surprised about how hot it actually got out of the summers that I was there frequently was 105°. Tornado warnings sirens going off!! I love Colorado!

    Hail can be very scary especially when it happens while you are in a vehicle. Safe travels Jimmy! Oh and when choosing a dog it might be a good idea to make sure he/she travels well. I have always wanted to travel across the country so my husband and I bought a travel trailer last year and as it turns out our little dog doesn't travel well. She pants and shakes the whole time. We have to sedate her when we travel and she is still affected so for now we are staying pretty close to home. . I think ours is one of the few but I would definitely take your new girl for a test drive before you take her......That didn't sound very good but you know what I mean.

    We get violent hail storms every July in Alberta with millions of $ in damage. They have small planes fly directly into the storm clouds and 'seed' them with silver nitrate in order to reduce the size of the stones.

    Your food looks good but it just might be too hot 🔥 for me. The curry stew I make is sweet & mild, with coconut milk. Its the Samoan way (I'm not Samoan, but we have a lot here & like every other ethnic group, their cuisine has influenced how we eat, LOL)
    Well, its only 5:30am here in Hawaii, so think I'll grab another hour of sleep.
