I live in West Texas and the temperature has been in the triple digits for weeks but nowhere near 122... that is just brutal! Please take care of yourself and that handsome boy Wynston.😊
I'm inspired to hear the way you let your travel plans stay loose and fluid. I get lost wherever I go (directionally challenged), but I see so many cool things I never would have seen otherwise. I figure if I don't have a destination, I can never really be lost! Thanks for sharing your van life adventures.
Always remember, the sun rises in the east, sets in the west. If you're traveling at high noon, you're on your own! LOL! Also, east/west interstates are even numbered, north/south are odd numbered. Safe and happy travels!🫶
Oh how I remember the heat when I lived in AZ!! But live in PA now and wouldn't mind some warmth here!! And my garden would do wonders with some heat!! Safe travels, looking forward to your adventures!!
I used to live near Durango! Up in Bayfield in the mountains. And that whole area on the four corners area, is really wonderful. Telluride is one of the most beautiful places ever especially in the fall.
Hi Amanda, 122 that’s not fit for human habitation. Chasing the weather . That’s the thing to do Telluride is a beautiful area. Sounds like you’re in for a fun adventure. Amanda can’t wait to see your posts.
Spent time in Greer and Alpine last summer boondocking. Did my laundry and grocery shopping in Eager/Springerville. Beautiful and the weather was gorgeous, my only complaint was the lack of cell signal over a lot of the area. Hopefully you have better reception. Safe travels and 🙏 Have fun ❣️
Glad you are checking out camping in New Mexico. I love living here. If you ever come to the International Balloon Fiesta here in Albuquerque every October. I've got plenty of room for visitors and my yard is fenced. Over 500 hot air balloons of every color and shape from all over the world come for the 9 days in October.
Hi Amanda and Wynston! This AZ heat is awful. Im praying to all the gods and goddesses that ever existed for monsoon season to get here. I hope you enjoy your cooler travels. Enjoy the scenery. The money peaks and dips, will your whole life. Try not to fret too much. ❤ It will swing back the other direction. People love to learn how to have fun or vacation on a budget, so this dip could end up working for you. Share with us your $$ saving tips you use, learn. Take care, sweetheart. Much love to you and Mr Wynston❤
122 degrees!!! Holy cow that’s hot. Driving 8 thousand feet elevation in Colorado was scary to me because in Louisiana our high elevation is 80 ft lol. Looking forward on seeing your trip. 😆
I’m in Flagstaff right now but have thought about Greer at some point because it’s such a high elevation. I was just in Gilbert a few days ago and was so happy to leave. It’s just too hot.
We just came back from a vacation in Arizona with my daughter. It was fun but too hot. Had she come 2 weeks earlier, the weather would have been perfect. Left Williams Az.and drove to Disneyland and the weather here is perfect. Tomorrow I’m heading to Oregon for a Meetup. Then who knows… have fun 🎈🎈🎈meet ya down there road 💞
Sounds like a good plan! I’ve also been laying low because of a drop in income and not traveling much, so I definitely feel you there. Fortunately I can moochdock in my significant other’s driveway indefinitely because she kind of likes having me here. 😊 We’re hoping to at least take some short trips soon once some money catches up to us.
It's been tough for everyone! Between AI taking over everything and this absurd economy, everyone is getting hit one way or another. We just gotta take it one day at a time!
I'm interested in ways to keep a lower budget while traveling. I've considered traveling before the sun comes up on good roads to keep the engine coler in hot areas but I don't know if that really helps. I also get nervous about forest closures and wildfires. But thats the way it goes.
Something I noticed about views in van life community is that the “nickel and dimer” creators get lower views than the ones that only upload once a week on schedule. It seems like that formula grew their channels and they are getting constant views every week. Would you ever try making longer videos to release once a week and see if that increases your views? I first noticed this when Mav was doing truck life and he was dating Hannah Lee Duggan. They were nickel and diming viewers, and their channels were at a standstill. Then I thought they got lazy after the breakup and just uploading once a week. But they started doing longer videos and their channels grew and so did their views. I’ve seen this work for The Fine Print which is now Trent the Traveler, Ryan Twomey, Where is Tiffany, Alyssa Vanilla (except she’s not regular anymore),Sarah Yak, Maddie Taylor (who sold her van & moved to Germany and her videos are remodeling her house she bought), Divine on the Road (she’s not regular either), Tory Delury, Winterisblu, Big Nugget, Travelers Tale, Rosa (who’s not regular as she is hiking PCT now)… etc. There’s more but, you get the idea and I would be here forever listing everyone off. LoL. Mav on his live once said, he rather try to do quality over quantity on video because he doesn’t see himself working for anyone else again after having tasted financial freedom and being able to employ his parents. Trent on his gaming stream also gets asked a lot of van life questions while playing and he chimes in on them and he has a similar attitude. I don’t know who first started it, but a handful of people who tried it are still doing now. It seems less stressful to them worrying trying to put a video together everyday. It might be worth a shot if you’re relying on RUclips income. See how many people watch after not seeing a video for a week. I feel like people will see a video pop up and get excited to see what you’re up to and watch the whole video. Anyway, just a thought since this is probably the third time I’ve noticed you mentioning views are down. I don’t recall you figuring out a solution to help that. 🥺
Nope. I like uploading all the time. In the end, I don't do it for money, views, etc. I do it to share. So I will continue uploading how I do. When I started RUclips, I didn't do it for income. So I will keep plugging away.
I suggested in another post to visit Ouray Co, but you may want to avoid the Million Dollar Highway. It was a bit skeery. 😱 Safe and happy trails wherever you go! 🫶
If you're brave, it's a beautiful place to visit, & just right up from Durango, but there's also Mesa Verde National Park to the west of Durango without all that mountain driving. And of course New Mexico places around Angel Fire area? Happy Vaniversary to you and Wynston! 🐾❤️
I couldn't believe you said 122 in the van. I read transcript thinking my ears were deceiving me! Nope. 122 🥵 Colorado and New Mexico, her we come! 🚐 👍

Well good on you! The change od scenery, even for a short while, will do you good!
Amanda happy vanaversarry.
I started watching your channel right before you got the new van. Enjoy your trip to cooler weather.
Awesome! Thank you!
Sounds fun!
Congrats on 4 years.

We definitely need rain asap! Thank you!
Sounds so awesome. Looking forward to living vicariously through your videos. I retire in 200 days and my wife and I are planning to full-time.
That's exciting!
Thanks!
Thanks so much, Frank!

Awesome video
I’m headed to Wyoming and Idaho. Your places sound great. It’s such a big wonderful country. Go explore. Looking forward to some travel videos.
I love both of those states.
Adventure on Lady! I'm hoping to make it out to northern AZ again . Travel prayers over you two
I really appreciate you! Thanks!
Maybe I’ll see ya around … great temps in this area right now 👍🏼

Yes, Munds Park got to be 90 at the warmest but it wasn't too bad in the pine tree shade! I'm excited for some new adventures. Have a blast!
Sounds like a good plan! I’ve also been laying low because of a drop in income and not traveling much, so I definitely feel you there. Fortunately I can moochdock in my significant other’s driveway indefinitely because she kind of likes having me here. 😊 We’re hoping to at least take some short trips soon once some money catches up to us.

@@AdventuringWithAmanda yes! To acronym it out, F AI! 😈😁

omg, insane travel. )
I'll be passing Gallup NM in about 3 days.
O yeah f AZ and that heat, I gtfo as soon as it started getting hot. It's even getting hot here in OR. Time to continue north.
Great plans, but I prefer to keep my Chihuahua, Selena, on the ground. No ski lift for me. She's 15.
Greer is someplace I want to go
Oh, no way. I'd be dead or wish I was in that heat!
Be careful of a tropical storm near Mexico

Omg 122 degrees, yup i would die.
That's why I travel!
Did you have to take Mr Wynston the Arizona mascot with you 😢
Sign me up for the paw card;)
Heat stroke city

That's good to know! Thank you! Colorado driving definitely isn't my favorite LOL!
