Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Absolutely go in whatever you have as often as you can. I have a class b that my husband and I got to do tips in for over a year before he passed. I like the minivan better for my solo travels. The minivan is nimble, stealthily, cozy and gets better fuel economy. No one gives a minivan a second look. The Pacific Crest Trail goes through the mountains with the snow in the background and you can get caught in snow up there through May... April is early spring, Summer starts at the solstice in June... Congratulations on 2 years full time. No one needs to know were your homebase is. Thank you again for taking us along on your journey.
Hey Mindy, I lived in an 18 wheeler when I drove tractor trailer. Your travels are always fun and exciting and what You want to do that’s what makes it way better and fun 👍
That is Wild Anne! You have seen some roads. I agree about my travels alone, I get to go and do whatever I want. It makes it more enjoyable and relaxing for me this way. Cheers!
Love Pedi’s! Hope you enjoyed it! Yes, keep your personal life private! Love your videos and thanks for bringing us along for the ride. April is not summer, the end of May to beginning of June is when we Californians feel summer is just starting.
@@NinthElement the REAL HEAT begins at the end of July all the way until half way into October. People that live full time in the Palm Springs area call everyone that goes there for the winter, Snow Birds, LOL! Only there from October until about Easter, some stay just for Coachella and coach fest.
I have watched you since you first met Isaac and Jaylena. Mindy you have helped me through some of my darkest times. You have a friend here who appreciates all that you do. Thank you for putting your videos out. I love them💛💜❤️🩷💙
This is such a sweet and powerful comment. I am honored to be a part of your wellness plan. I learned the hard way that...you are only as good as the top 5 people you associate with. I constantly seek healthy, positive, empowering and adventurous people to align with. You got this, BIG HUGS my RUclips Darling. Cheers!
Wow! I have been watching you since the beging when you were in Oregon. Lots of adventures, lots of pretty places. I do think we are in for a weird wrather Summer. Take care.
I hope you had safe travels out of our beautiful state Arizona. If you ever make it back to Arizona south of Tucson, visit Tombstone and Bisbee you won't regret it. Hugs
I lived in a camper part of my working life. i enjoyed it, every thing has its place. I worked as a welder in the rust belt area Ohio Michigan Pennsylvania power plants Steel miles. stayed in their parking lots saved a few bucks on rent. Now I head for Yuma there is so much to do in Yuma that before you know it your air-conditioning is costing you a arm and a leg and you have to beat feet for a cooler place to recide. We have a small farm north of Seattle for 8 months a year mow mow mow Winter comes Yuma! dance and play since 2000. Grass doesn't have to be mowed by me in Yuma. Keep it up there is much to see and do. :-) )
Loving all your videography, I know it’s a lot of work ... but it’s so good. Also love how your doing life. I am in the process of finding a van for a gentle conversion. I will keep my home, but I’d like to go out on the road for a while. I used to work in the Northwest Oregon/Washington. I absolutely love that area. Lived in California, not so much. Spent some time in Arizona, but would like to try it again. Maybe I’m too old, who knows lol. Thanks for taking me along. 💞🌷💞
Your comment is exactly "why" I keep posting publicly. We All need to be inspired from "somewhere or someone". RUclips has become a Happy Accident for me, and I LOVE the people that show up here and engage with me. I hope you find your way to the road in whatever way feels comfortable to you, and may we see each other down the road. Cheers!
@@NinthElement Im in Illinois at my home-base domicile mussing Florida lol but looking forward to spending time in the midwest again this summer with family & childhood friends
Mindy, thank you so much for sharing another well edited, great content video. Your Ninth Element has touched so many lives - inspiring and encouraging our own changes. ♻ 46.8 Subscribers and Two Years, is quite an accomplishment Mindy! Congrats! 🌟 "Don't you know that you are a Shooting Star!" It is best practice, to have a command station (home base) be confidential, as possible. I have found that to be able to experience the Sending Best, Magdalena ☮💟
You are so kind and encouraging. So much has happened in two years, and I feel so amazing to be able to live this life and share my story with you. Thanks for watching, and stay sweet. Cheers!
She's right, former New Mexican here, flash floods when it rains are a real danger do NOT take chances camping in canyons or by dry creeks, even next to low-lying roads. People die every year. If it's forecast to rain a lot or if it's raining hard, get to high ground.
Family & Faith are always first. Thank you for raising your grandson, we need these young people to be ready for a bright future. The road will be here when the time comes, Cheers!
@sugar, thank you for stepping up to rear your grand. Obligations keep me stationary right now too, but I do take short trips, to allow myself to recharge. Mindy is great for a vicarious, break though. ❤
Hi Mindy thanks for bring us along never know where you'll take us. I believe that area is BLM land I have seen another Canadian RUclipsr go and camp in there . but why would anyone leave that burnt boat there . terrible. The curb incident lol i've done that love the motel. WOW mindy time flys I've been watching you that long WOW.!.
Hey Sue, good to see you here again. 2 Years...I know right eh? People are getting so bold about dropping their trash. This was the biggest dump I have witnessed so far on the road, and it was too big for me to pick it up and put it in the trash. lol! Thanks for being here and rising along as my Copilot, Cheers!
So sorry I missed you this morning. Ember Wild needed me ❤❤❤. Can't wait to give you a huge squishy hug. I will watch this video 2 times at least. So beautiful. Thanks
I think you do this life perfectly. I too get infuriated by people who ruin it for everyone. I work at a homeless shelter and have been homeless myself and it's the main thing that would piss me off is how gross and inconsiderate others are.
Hey Mindy Have any of your other subscribers have this problem. In the past I’d say 6 or so months I’ve been unsubscribed 4x. Even though most of the time I catch you on my TV like most other channels I later go back & comment for interaction n if in a hurry I leave a heart on the comments. It can’t be your content as I’m subbed to other nomad channels w/out issue. Just was wondering love ya sweetheart ❤️❤️
Spring has been crazy in Eastern Canada too. Think we have seen the last of snow until December. May 10th here. Grass is greening now. Live spring! Safe travels Mindy. Love seeing the red throughout eyes.
Hi! Watching your video. Hoping one day you might come east. I just met Miguel at the campground in Bryson City. I did not camp as I live close by. They did the Dragon Tail yesterday. Met some other great element owners. My sister is in Tucson AZ. Maybe my first long trip will be that direction in the fall. Still working on my no build, build on mine. Thanks for the fun rides along with you!
Great video, Mindy! All 27 minutes of it... with lots of personal "reveal"... while keeping necessary personal "conceal". Having been watching many "Van Life" videos, my personal MO priority is to road-trip far and wide with fuel economy in my 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback''s 35 MPG of regular gas as my ticket of opportunity. The freedom and economy of travel enables me to combine stays along the way in those clean roadside motels with a happy alternating balance with sleeping in my Honda Civic. Being able to keep the amount of "stuff" packed in the Civic keeps my travels somewhat "light" and simple for my pursuit of road-tripping freedom. My Honda Civic Hatchback will suit me fine for now... unless you are ready to part with your "9th Element". 🤣👍
Bert, I really enjoy reading about your ideal travels. It sounds perfect and very affordable. I am glad that you enjoyed this episode, as I have been filming way less and enjoying my life being present in the moments and not always behind the camera. Would you buy 9th, and what would you pay for her? Just asking for a friend...lol! Cheers!
@@NinthElement Mindy, definitely interested... definitely a negotiated price for a win-win result. My base abode is in Central Washington State. Obviously, it's the meetup by phone, text, email or in person that would seem to be the biggest challenge, eh?
Mindy, I'd like to install some roll-out drawers in my pickup bed like you have in the back of Ninth. What are they called so I can look them up/research either who sells, installs them or how to install them myself?
Lora they were designed by me for 9th and built out by my friend Fred. He has since moved onto major house cabinet making and no longer builds out cabinets for vehicles. Have a look on Amazon, someone told me that there are more options for prefab kits online now. Cheers!
Love your pool in Palm Springs. Still cool in upper MI with a variety of weather. Will you keep 9th now that you have a newer tent model? (Hank the Tank)?
Hank the Tank, that is so cute. His name is Tank the Toaster, and yes I will be keeping both. 9th saved my life, and she runs too good to let her go. Sending warm weather, Cheers!
Gotchu to the naysayers! U were expecting the flack! Why u stay parked overnight at apt complexes! Ur videos r funny! U dont stop having fun into ur 50s!
It was a wacky looking car, and I am going to look into them to see what they are all about. They look really aerodynamic and roomy, much better taking up the roads in a city vs a big truck (not shaming big trucks here :) Cheers!
Hey Mindy! I went to the Tail of the Dragon Element meet up hoping to see you… I met so many of your friends! And……… I bought an Element! I DM’d you on instagram. Hope to hear from you. Been watching you since before Ninth. You helped me keep going through school finishing my degree last May and now I’m gonna build out my OBP Element… maybe I’ll catch you at PNW!💕🚙💕
Hi Mira, welcome to the family. Just a heads up, I don't do anything with my Instagram of Facebook accounts for my own mental health and freedom to be offline more. If you would like to contact me my email is 9thelementadventurelife@gmail.com. This is my preferred method of contact. Thanks for understanding, Cheers!
Replay today. The desert is happy for that rain! How I love and miss the desert life! Methinks ye may have outed thyself, YouTubing this stealthing. lol. The maternal advice: don’t do what I do. 😉 Enjoyed this episode. It had the desert grit and boujee luxe.✌️❤️🚐
MsVg3! lol! Yes, it was bound to happen at some point, my little secret is out. Everyone that I have encountered in neighborhoods has been so kind, and I don't stay long. See you on the next one.Cheers!
Really? I could see a boat at Burning Man, but, the culture that attends does not generally do stuff like this. We will see what the peeps have to say here @isorobot
Lol! That curb jump was the funniest thing! Haha! Something I would do. Or take out a telephone pole. Haha!
Watch out for jumping curbs! Cheers!
