I love this video. Really nice crystals, beautiful sunset, good friends and food !!! Doesn't get much better than that. I want to go there .Thanks Kelly
i hope you both are doing better now. Yesterday my wife tested positive Covid and been rough. I' am stuck in san diego on probation and we live in Ensenada Mexico where my wife is at. I can't cross the boarder to go see her. Thank God her lungs are only inflamed and no water. She went to a Mexican specialist today, but I want her seen in the USA and she is coming Friday. Ill keep all 3 of you in my prayers. I'm a avid hiker just got my Ultra pack from Zpacks this week. Love your videos get well soon. :)
U wouldn't want to say which forest road, would you? Its a 12 hr drive for me, failed at finding that spot last year. Going to try again next week. Cant wait to dig crystals again !!
Kelley n Cody from Dome Life are awsum And I remember that vid I honestly think that trail is gorgeous.. have u checked out the Ouachita Vista trail by hickory nut mountain? Best view in Arkansas in my opinion 🤜💥🤛
Cool seeing a place that's 20 mins from my house and where I took a field trip to in the 5th grade featured on here! And the shack too! (Best catfish in town)...this one just hit different haha...
Stayed in the back of the jeep on a very cold and windy night in that very spot so we could section hike the OT the next morning. Yes, it would be a great spot in the summer! Plan to go back
Thank you for taking us along on this short adventure. We just spent a few days in December hiking at Queen Wilhelmina and can’t wait to go back to do the longer trail.
Hey Kelly! What a fun day! I wish we had a mine like that up here. You guys lucked out with that camp spot. You are so lucky to live in a state that lets you camp like that. You should talk to Taylor the Nahamsa Hiker about maybe selling some of those crystals at her gift shop! They would sell well up at the lake! 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well. -Grateful
Just stumbled on your channel by searching free camping in Arkansas. Been to Big Fir and am planning on going back for NYE this week sometime. Great video looking forward to more..that big chrystal was awesome. I found some great pieces just walking around Lake Ouachita when I camped there back in Oct. Arkansas is so beautiful and great camping.
Have your van's battery tested. When you started the van it sounded weak. Why doesn't the van have heat? Excellent adventure. Carry water to wash the crystals.If you need to replace the van's battery, save the old one and use it as a power supply. Carry it in one of those containers that fishing boats use for their electric trolling motor batteries. You can get 12 volt heating pads for very cold nights. You can also get 12 volt fans for when its hot. Have fun. Good Luck, Rick
Battery is fine. It was a cold morning and it hadnt been started in a while. No heat bc I haven’t installed a Diesel heater yet. I have two deep cycle batteries that can plug in whatever in the van. Could plug in a heating pad if it got real cold.
I'm jealous of this girl! You should come all the way down to Fouke and find the monster! It may not be your normal adventure but itd be a fun one to watch for us.
This is awesome crystals have been around in Arkansas for like 280 million years from the closing stages of mountain building deposited from hot water Arkansas is absolutely beautiful with some beautiful crystals
We just backpacked about 35 miles of the Ozark Highlands Trail last week. We love the Arkansas Ozarks so much- always have! Best kept secret in the Midwest! The Spirits Creek section is incredible and one of the prettiest places in the country, I believe. Really enjoyed your video. One day I hope to dig for crystals there, as well!
Very cool video. Very cool crystal find. Awesome! Great fun. I have spent alot of time in the Ouachita forest on the eastern Oklahoma side along the trail. A very fun area. ✌🏼 Your videos are the best. You are a joy to watch. I'm crushing on you.
Diggin that campsite and fire ring, also maybe invest in a military entrenching tool they fold up compact and are also useful for camping, God bless you.
Kelly, you may have already fixed the heating problem in your van, but in case you haven't, the usual cause is a stuck thermostat in the engine's cooling system. It's usually not a difficult or expensive repair.
There is a place in North Carolina called Aurora fossil museum and they have pits outside where you dig like this and find tons of nice sharks teeth. They dump out the tailings from a mine and thats what you search in for the teeth.
Love the crystal mine at Jessieville. FYI there are also some amazing crystal mines west of Mt Ida. Carbolic acid does a good job of removing mineral stain from the crystals but it takes at least a three day soak
So cool, I Watch Kelly and Cody all the time. I found all this awesome area from your video when you were kayaking the buffalo river. Looking forward to doing the same. Making my Rav4 4x4 into a camping car right now. I am taking notes and love to rock hound so the crystal mine is a must! Be Blessed!
I'm in the hospital at the moment. Watching this helped my nerves . The quartz is so beautiful. Have u thought of going to Petit Jean . I went there several times in the 90' s and would love to see some of again . Maybe u can road trip it
Hey Kelly, cool video and finding that big crystal was such a great find along with all those smaller ones. 25 bucks to get that many crystals is totally worth it. It's good to see you making the best out of every weekend and love the music in your videos. Look forward to the next trip. Thanks
Hey Kelly, just out of curiosity, where do you source your music from? I use epidemic sound, but I hadn't come across music as cool as the ones you put in your videos. Thanks for your time.
Kelly,, thanks for this video. My wife and I are moving to the Jessieville area first part of April. Sold out house here in Surf City NC. Is the Shack right on Hwy 7?
You were very close to correct. Sleep science tells us the best temperature for humans to sleep at is 55 degrees. But who does that. I know people whose bedroom to 72° and they wear pajamas to bed then complain how they never get a good night's sleep.
I love this video. Really nice crystals, beautiful sunset, good friends and food !!! Doesn't get much better than that. I want to go there .Thanks Kelly

yeah I was wondering the coordinates.

Is there overland style dispersed camping spots over there? It’s only 19 minutes from “the shack” on hwy 7
Sooo cool! I love crystals!!
Cool seeing a place that's 20 mins from my house and where I took a field trip to in the 5th grade featured on here! And the shack too! (Best catfish in town)...this one just hit different haha...
I gotta go back and get the catfish! I was trying to save my appetite for dinner haha
@@kellyhays23 Haha nothing wrong with that and you definitely do! just don't forget the hushpuppies, perfect side for it...
Stayed in the back of the jeep on a very cold and windy night in that very spot so we could section hike the OT the next morning. Yes, it would be a great spot in the summer! Plan to go back

Forked Mountain in the Quachita Forest would be a great adventure if you haven't done it yet ! The view from the top is amazing.

Nothing better than being on the mountain with good friends!
We used to dig at thr apache tear pits in superior arizona when I was a kid.....so much fun!! Awesome video thank you.
So cool! Thank you for watching Cindy!

Hey Joe! The actual heater isn’t broken, I was referring to the diesel heater I would run when the van is off that I haven’t installed yet!
That was cool to go to the crystal mining. Thanks for taking us along.
Those crystals are cool! Arkansas is so beautiful!
I loved your video today the next time I go to Arkansas to visit my family I well have to go digging. Looks like a lot of fun. 🏔⛺️🥾💕
nice find, that's huge
There is a place in North Carolina called Aurora fossil museum and they have pits outside where you dig like this and find tons of nice sharks teeth. They dump out the tailings from a mine and thats what you search in for the teeth.
Lovely video, Kelly. 😍
Thank you!! 😊
That was a lot of fun! Thank you for vlogging that trip. The crystals are amazing and I look forward to seeing what you make of them.
Thank you jimmy!!!
Looks like some good crystals and another great video thanks for sharing
Thanks so much!
This makes me want to take a drive and camp in my Jeep some where. Lol
Now I want to go to Arkansas 😀 ty for taking us along on another fun adventure
So fun - thanks for sharing the crystal mining, I want to do that with my kiddos sometime!
Oh they would love it! So many kiddos there everytime I go!
This camp spot kind of reminds me of Eagle Rock Vista on ERL with the sunset. Great video Kelly!
Glad to see you back in Arkansas congratulations on your thru-hike glad you got through it 👍🥾
awesome!!!!
Love the crystal mine at Jessieville. FYI there are also some amazing crystal mines west of Mt Ida. Carbolic acid does a good job of removing mineral stain from the crystals but it takes at least a three day soak
I def want to check out those mines too!!!! Need to get me some of that acid as well

Heck yeah!!! Can’t wait for you to get out there!!
I'm in the hospital at the moment. Watching this helped my nerves . The quartz is so beautiful. Have u thought of going to Petit Jean . I went there several times in the 90' s and would love to see some of again . Maybe u can road trip it
Hey hawke hope you are okay! Glad the video helped a little too. I love petit Jean! Might have to take the van up there and camp one night!
@@kellyhays23 that would be cool Kelly. Feeling ok . Still in hospital . Did a heart chemical stress test .
Love this so much. I'm going Crystal digging in just a few weeks. The sunset was beautiful!
Hope you find some good ones!
Hey Kelly, cool video and finding that big crystal was such a great find along with all those smaller ones. 25 bucks to get that many crystals is totally worth it. It's good to see you making the best out of every weekend and love the music in your videos. Look forward to the next trip. Thanks
Thank you Mike!!! Def worth the $25
Hey Kelly, just out of curiosity, where do you source your music from? I use epidemic sound, but I hadn't come across music as cool as the ones you put in your videos. Thanks for your time.
Pretty cool adventure! Love the crystal dig! My wife loves rocks so she would certainly enjoy this kind of dig! Thanks for sharing! 🤙
She would def love Ron Coleman’s!
Hey Kelly, fun times! Nice to meet you yesterday. Love your videos! Keep it up!
so good to meet you too!!! I Subbed to your channel!!! Love your ERL vid!
I didn’t see any good beer 🍺 or liquor that are a must when camping (it’s been a while for me)! Cool crystals!
Yay!!!!💚
Check out the glasses!
I gotta check that place out. It's only 4 hours from me.
That's in my sister's neighborhood. I have found a ton of crystals in her yard right out in the open.
Love that! Goals!
What forest service road was this camp on? Looks awesome!
You amazing girl.
Love that spot to camp. Could you tell me how to get there?
Kelly,, thanks for this video. My wife and I are moving to the Jessieville area first part of April. Sold out house here in Surf City NC. Is the Shack right on Hwy 7?
7901 N State Hwy 7, Jessieville, AR 71949
