She does NOT look like she is 84!! She's so delightful. And I'm glad she isn't listening to her kids. I'm 70 and wanting to do what she is doing. She's amazing. God bless her.
🦋
I am 60 n get grief from my kids as well! I am disabled n use a power chair. I say life is short get out there and enjoy it!
I absolutely love this woman. Thank you for sharing her with us. 84 and living HER life on HER terms. Definitely an inspiration!!!!
😊
I lost my daughter when she was 27. I can so relate how Winnie & ladybugs makes her feel her daughter is with her while she travels. When the worst has happened, there’s not much left to fear. Best wishes for many more adventures!
💙🦋💙
I love her sense of adventure and how she manages her family. "I can do this and I will do this", you go Lee!
😊👍
Good Luck Very Best of Luck To You Always!
84 yrs old !!!! NO WAY !!! What an inspiration this adventurous lady is ! I wanna grow up to be like her ! (I'm 66)
😊👍
What a lovely lady, she has a lot of miles ahead of her...I like her van setup too. You all enjoy the meet up, be safe and stay happy
Thank you, Betty. 🙂
"Yes I can, yes I will... and they better like it!" 😅... You go girl, and keep doing your thing!
If your mom is 84 and healthy enough to go camping in a minivan, she needs to be celebrated, not criticized. You go Girl!!!
My mom is 81 and since dad passed last Dec she just wants to sit. I wish she would travel with me. Lee is so inspiring.
Hi Kimberly. 👋 Have you tried a short, daytrip to something easy that she would love?
@@ButterflyTracks Jan I have offered that she has always had a love for photography I told her we could go to the local wildlife refuge and take pictures she is in such a slump. Her mother died suddenly at 80 but was more active lived alone despite near blindness. She was a military wife and always so strong. It’s sad. I will keep offering.
@@kimberlyknight4973 maybe try showing her this video? Blessings to both of you.
She looks 👍 great. I'm in awe she's 84
How amazing. She 84. Still doing what she wants
I enjoyed this, I'm 74 wish I was able to do this, years ago Mom and I spent 6months in her van going out west we had a ball.
Great memories, Kathy. 💙
God love her!!!!! I’ll be heading out myself come spring. My family think I’m nuts lol I’m 64 and I’m ready to go. This is my second go around I had a cargo van now a minivan. Keep safe ladies enjoy🙏🏽
Families are like that. They love us but can't hold us back..😊
@@ButterflyTracks I know you are so right lol
What a joy! I know her family must be proud. She doesn't look 84!
👍
I loved this interview and tour of this special lady! I have been feeling almost too old to finish my build and get going but she is older and is out there by herself. She gives me a little boast...love her simple set-up. I have a big,old friendly dog that will be going too if I get to going. Thanks for your videos. From Central Oklahoma
💙 🦋 💙
Me too Janet. Over the years of watching these videos, I’ve accumulated everything Needed. Just never lifted off. I better get with it because I’m 75 today. If not now….
Oh she is so dear. God bless her. I am so sorry her daughter passed away but love how she holds her daughter close in her heart. God bless!
💙
This woman is incredible! I love her energy & stamina! I absolutely think her van set up is awesome, everything she needs & wants on the road. She makes me want to hit the open road! God bless her. 🙏✅👍❤️💖💗💜
💙 🦋 💙
What a lovely lady! Love her confidence and independence ☺️❤️
What an inspiration! My parents are 84 and 85 and they stopped their travels many years ago. I hope to be like Miss Lee and enjoy life to its fullest!
💙🦋💙
She looks amazing at 84! Good for her doing her own thing ♥️👍
🙂👍
Love her smile. Inspirational for getting the van life started.
🦋
What a delightful woman!
Such a wonderful adventurous soul!!! She’s inspiring! ❤️🙏
🙂
What a beautiful lady. I was so shocked when she said her age. She's such an inspiration.
It was nice to finally get to meet Lee! What a precious lady she is❤
Yes, and so are you! Thanks for helping with the sap... 😊
@@ButterflyTracks My Pleasure😁
I am 58 yrs old,I have been wanting to do this for yrs and finally got a van the night before Thanksgiving,only to have it stolen Thanksgiving day,due to the holiday I wasn't able to get it tagged or insured,they were closed,dream shattered,I love your channel,my mom's name was Winnie, I refuse to give up!!!!! Praying that 🙏♥I will someday make it come true,solo widow and shattered dream for now atleast I didn't have my items in yet,was going to set it all up after mvd and insured,so I am so lost and living in the shelter 💔now,hard to be alone in the world 💔, you are such an inspiration 💙to me,thank you.
I am so sorry. You are young enough that you have time to start over. I hope the police can recover the van. You will be okay. Keep your chin up. Maybe something even better will come your way. Just make the effort and meet it half way.
Love her! What a remarkable lady - She reminds me of my beloved grandmom 💖
She really is a sweet lady. 🙂
Lovely lady ❤️ She had me smiling and I love her cozy little home
Great interview - she is lovely and 84??!!!! Wow!
Still living her best life! 🦋
Boy she looks 30 years younger, bless her!
Amazing lady. She’s busy living! It’s not the age it’s the attitude! And she’s got great attitude. I always cape cod in September.
🙂👍
She is a very young 84! Love the video, I love to see other people's rigs!
🙂
What a sweet lady and doing this at her age ! What an inspiration! ❤️
Wow, she looks great for 84. She has all she needs in there, & you are never too old for anything, it keeps you young to do what you love.
🙂👍
She is such an inspiration! I hope to still be travelling at her age!! Love it love her❤
I love her no build and her spirit. I tend to prefer the coziness and creativity that no builds have, and the ability to change things around, rather than a build that you’re stuck with in a way. I hope you plan a history tour, that was always something my parents focused on during some of her trips growing up.
I totally agree! 🙂
I am so impressed and inspired by this 80 plus lady. If I ever get on the road I would like to meet up with her. I am 80 and thought that I have waited too long to hit the road. I now think I might rethink this. Thank you so much for sharing your story! MayGod continue to protect you and bless you! Marie from South Carolina.
Thank you, Marie. 😊
I live in S C also. I'm 76. I'm making a list of people in our stare so we can meet. Where are you? You can IM me.
What a sweetheart❣️Van layout is adorable and cozy. My sympathies on her daughter's passing. Glad she is soaking up all the adventuring she can get! Blessings from Posey County, Indiana❣️
💙
Love your interviews. You also seem to meet the most interesting and resourceful women😊
Thank you. The people I meet may be the best part of my nomad life.
Thank you all for the nice comments. You all give inspiration yes I can do this. Lee
💙
I'm so glad she is enjoying her life . GO GRANNY GO !
Bless her! What a spirit of adventure! The two things I do not like are same as her. I don't want to have to pull anything big, or have to empty a black water tank. Yep! Fine tuning what you need for yourself, keeps you happy on the road. I feel like going out as minimal as possible.
Awww what a sweetheart! I lost a daughter when she was 36 from Cancer! So sorry for her loss! ✝️♥️🙏✝️ Great video Thank You For Sharing! Her van is ready Nice! Good job! Great video 🤗👍 Thank you for sharing! See you on the next video 🙂✝️♥️🙏✝️safe journey!
Thank you, Debbie. 😊
@@ButterflyTracks Thank You 🙂
I just love her !! God Bless her and protect her in all her travels :) .
💙
I am amazed at the adventurous attitude of these women!
🦋
84? That would've been a bet I would've lost! She looks AMAZING! She has a nice no-build build, too.
Yes, she's a sweetheart. 💙🦋💙
great setup! She is living life to the fullest and is doing better at 84 than many people 20 years younger!! Wonderful video!!!
Thank you. So true. Don't we all want to be her when we grow up!
Nice video Jan. Can't believe she's 84. Unreal take care stay safe and God bless all of you and doggies
Thank Sabra. 💙 🦋 💙
I didn't believe Lee was the age she said she was! She's taking along a reminder of her daughter, and if I head out, I will be taking along reminders of my Mom. I promised Mom, we'd go traveling, and we never got the chance. I've love to me her someday. My granddaughter also lives in TX. I wish her safe and happy days ahead.
Thank you, April. 🙂 The reminders we take are comforting. 💙
Amazing! I sure hope I can still go camping when I’m her age. Bless her heart!
💙
She’s an inspiration to me. I’m 77 and just getting my plans set to get on the road too!
Lee is amazing! I love her determination & take control attitude. I’m soon to be 74 & am planning my escape in a few months. Mo in NJ
😊👍
Lee, you're a great inspiration, just get out and do it!!! I hope this past year you've done a lot of exploring and just had a great time. God Bless and safe travels.🌿
Wow thats just so great to see .. So happy for her.
😊
She seems like such a sweet woman, God bless her 😊
She really is. 😊
She really is amazing! I know about GPS routing you somewhere you didn't intend on going. Turn right, turn left, turn right, make a u-turn. Yikes.
Yes, she's an inspiration for sure.
Yes, I can't leave home without GPS but it can get you in trouble too.
Horse bed pellets. Animal feed store. Walmart for the bags fit five gallon bucket.
Wow! I just love her. I hope y’all can do that history trip together. ❤
I hope so too. 🙂
Another wonderful video of another fantastic lady!
💙 🦋 💙
Lady you're rocking it Get out there and enjoy your lifeDon't listen to nobody you enjoy your life what you want to do and as long as you can do it do it
😊
I agree with this sweet lady. A mini van is a great way to travel full time. I’ve done it for years! Salute!
I agree. It's a pleasure to drive. 😊
A nice no build build. Like the open nature of the van.
Loves this lady. Amazing 84!!!
Gives me hope I'm 79 and still can get out there someday.
I love hearing yet another New England Accent on the road besides Lulu. I can't wait to join you guys!!!
Can't wait to meet you! 💙🦋💙
Hope I can still be traveling and be as spry in 10 years when I’m 84. She has everything she needs and is bringing her daughter along via Winnie. She could just take out her bed and cover most everything else up with a few blankets so no condo people can tell what it is.
😊👍
What an amazing, inspiring woman! Thanks for sharing.
🙂
Very nice build, and organized ❤️😊 Doesn't look 84 years old ❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing and safe travels ❤️😊
Thank you! 🤗

Crikey 84! Wow. Happy travels. Cheers Mo, Australia
I really like her. I live in Massachusetts and I think that she is really cool. I bet she's a lot of fun to be around. Wonderful video!👍😁
Yes, she is a lot of fun. 😊
I live in Montana and reading the comments I read your comment it reminded me of my old navy days and spending my leave time in Gardner at my shipmate families house! Loved my time there back in the 70s. Happy travels my friend!
Loved this video. Lee is 84?!? She sure doesn't look like it wow. She is so inspirational! "I'm going to do it"...yes!🙂. I'm almost 60 & planning to start out on my own next Spring. I lean more towards the "no build" type since I believe in less is more and prefer scenery & mountains to "things". Just purchased my first Jackery & also a smaller portable power bank...already tried out the smaller (HOWEASY from Amazon) one & it's amazing! I can't wait to feel that freedom of being on the road. I've always loved road trips & have always been a gypsy at heart. Where did Lee get those disposable/zippered waste bags? Those are perfect!
Thanks for sharing her story with us. I love how you talk with the women, more like a friendly conversation than a van life "interview" which I love.
So sorry for your loss, Lee. 💜
Thank you, Marie. 🙂 She got those bags with the potty. I haven't searched for them but you could probably get them separately too.
@@ButterflyTracks Oh thanks :-) It looked like the black bag was attached to the zipper bag (which I thought was handy but have never seen that kind) and her potty was a bucket w/toilet seat on top of it...I'm guessing Home Depot or a store like that maybe? I've seen the buckets used in many other videos, seems easy enough, but have never seen the black/ziploc type bags. I don't like ordering a lot from amazon so was hoping they sell those type of bags at a box store, etc. Did you happen to see the brand name or anything? Been getting things ready for my van life starting next Spring & trying to find some really good, biodegradable waste bags.
Thanks for replying, hope you have a beautiful day and so glad I found your channel, you have such a calming and friendly personality and I've really enjoyed your van tours of the other solo women travelers. 🙂
WOW!! You go Girl!!! 🥰🥰
😊
Wonderful inspirational woman🙏
I can’t wait to do this and she is a huge inspiration! I 68 and raring to go but my truck is in the shop getting a lot of work done so I’ll have to wait til spring.
Hi Nancy. 👋 Glad you're getting that work done. Then you'll be all set to go!
She’s fabulous! I hope I’m like her when I turn 84. I always enjoy your van tours. I just requested to join your FB group.
You're in! 😊
@@ButterflyTracks Yay! I’ll be at the Deland, FL meet up. Hope to see you there.
Sorry😢 about your daughter I lost my son to acute Lukemia only ,2 years ago. He was only 41. I am still trying to get the courage to take off for can life in the Dodge Grand Caravan that he got for me. God bless you in your travels
