The one, and only pioneer of women RV'ers still going! Wow! Keep it up! I'm still proud of you after all these years.
Carolyn, I am sure you have already heard about the 3 men in Baja who were shot in the head by what the DA says was cartel or just being robbed by some Mexicans. But I was just thinking about you being out there a few weeks ago and saying how safe it was. They are actually advising the all tourists avoid the area because of kidnappings and killings. I’m sad because I was planning on that being my first trip in my van 🚐 in August! Ugh! These were three big guys and they tried to fight them off but lost that battle. It’s so so sad. There’s actually a big protest today about the safety of Baja now. So please be safe. ❤❤❤
And I read that they tried to fight off the killers from stealing their truck, but after they were shot the truck was found burned….so what the hell did they lose their lives for….
Terrible sad story and it’s scary times … I think I’d def avoid Mexico
It was terrible sad 2 Australian brothers from Perth. So heartbreaking for the parents.
I wouldn’t go there now no way!!!
It’s almost that bad in the US. But, they where alone out there. Easier for Robbers.
My dog, Holly, got her lab results. It’s benign. Don’t know if you saw my other comment on last week’s video. She is doing better than ever since her dental stuff.
I was 70 did this drive 2 years ago by myself going to CO. Pulling a 23 ft trailer. Was a beautiful drive thankfully. Stayed in a great Koa campground . I still look back OMG I can not believe I got thru that. NO MANS LAND. LOVED IT
Your dog, Sadie, reminds me of my daughters service dog, Blaze. He is a rescue found on side of the road in Tennessee I believe. We live in South St Paul, MN. Warrior dog rescue brought Blaze up to MN. She just went to play and socialize with puppies. Blaze picked her out!! She wasnt looking to adopt at the time. She went back a week later and he picked her again!!! She adopted him! He is so into my daughter and helps when needed.
Sadie could be a relative!! Same ears and coloring!
Amazing how you push past the ones that don't feel right and nail such kewl camp spots. Thumbs up!
Yep... I do it a lot. It has to feel just right! Thanks for watching bobby!
I also use blocks to level.....that is such a good idea to have the bubbles where you can see them from inside. I'm usually a pretty good judge of how many blocks I'll need where, but occasionally, I have given up and moved to another spot.
I've done that too!
Carolyn you have the most wonderful life!
Hi there.
I have watched you for many yrs.i live in BC Canada.i have a 1994 winnebago brave I just love it.I have a hubby but he was a trucker so he doesn't want to travel with me. I have cebral palsy but I can walk and drive it
Wow, what an environment! Spectacular, to be sure. Hope you're doing well out there. Again as always, thanks for taking us along!
They named that road exactly what it is. I remember the days we drove from Calif to Michigan and saw many many lonely roads
Great video! I really enjoyed watching the camp search process and the leveling tips, tricks! You looked like a real confident boss woman figuring it all out by yourself! You are a great role model for others!! Thank you!!
Those butterflies were elegant
Nice video , lots of awesome scenery. Beautiful camping spot but you sure had to work for it to get level. Yes I have to admit that your Pizza looked real good! Safe travels to you and Sadie. 👍
Hi Richard, Yes, it was an awesome spot. I actually cut quite a bit of the process of leveling out to not bore you all to death. LOL. Eventually I got level enough to enjoy the spot.
Yes the pizza was pretty good!!
Some remember The Alamo... I remember the EPOCH Baja Sand Pit. 😱
lol!!!! OMG.. me too, unfortunately
I followed you from the beginning, but I just want to let you know that I enjoy these new videos so much more than the original how to videos I love these day in the life. I like the longer extended version the way they’re filmed a shout out I’ve liko all your videos, but I really enjoy these so take care. I love your political views the whole shebang, take safe travel Gina
Thanks!
Thank you so much 💓 💗 💛!
Hi Carolyn, I really have learned a lot from you. Thanks so much for all your hard work! 🥰
I love travel days! It’s a great glimpse into RV life. We also get to see how you find camp and then set up!Some times it’s nice to see the living in the RV part and not just the great adventures! ❤
My Google home just set a timer for 8 minutes, thanks Carolyn! 😂😂😂
Enjoyed your video, btw! ☺️
I have found that if you put a pizza stone in your RV oven. You get a much more even cook.
I am headed to Utah in a couple days from Texas. We are RVing, can't wait!!!!
WOW!!♥ What a View!! Those mountains were Amazing!!
Beautiful area, those mountains, oh my goodness so beautiful! That pizza looked yummy! Safe travels to you and Ms Sadie!!! 😃👍
❤ Wow.. That drive is so beautiful!!! Much Love!!! ❤
Long handle squeegees are great! 🙌
Need them even for a Sprinter Van, so I ended up buying my own after awhile!! It is an awesome one that extends out giving it 5'7" long!!
@@user-sx2yv1sb3q that's awesome! Heck ya. Makes it so much easier. I didn't know you'd need one on a sprinter too! They def don't have enough of them out. Thanks for sharing
@carolynsRVLIFE if something inside of you tells you something is wrong, that is your conscience.listen to your conscience.❤
As always… I enjoyed this video. You take the time always to make us feel we are on a vacation. Good blessings too you and Sadie girl😊
A adventure for sure ! If anyone can make things work … you will … beautiful campsite for sure . Having your beautiful Sadie w/ you has to be a real plus !! 😇Enjoy and stay safe …. Pizza 🍕 looked great !!!
Wow that’s my type of camp spot, absolutely beautifull
Great episode as always,showing your real self,real life and the awesome beauty of nature in the American west.
I have been to Eloy by the way a number of times,it truly is a great little biggest town in the area.
And a lifesaver,as I had a repair breakdown just when I got there one time,no one else able to do it for over 200 miles.
I love long handled squeegee too!!
Carolyn, Hiding in some soda pop alternatives are ingredients that compete with iodine for binding sites on our cells...thereby affecting our thyroid hormone functioning. I can't name names online, but I felt a lot better when I stopped drinking these sparkling beverages. Take good care ❤ Liz, PhD (neuropsychology and endocrinology).
Just had to say yay! Always happy to see a new video of yours Carolyn. Subscribed to your page a few weeks ago n have watched many of your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Looking forward to your next video. God Bless you ❤
Follow your gut instinct girl.. be safe first and foremost ♥️🦅
I know Sadie had a limp that went away, a sign of Lyme disease. Has she been tested for this? Thanks for sharing your experiences. 🐕🐾🐕
that's one of the advantages for people who have a dirt bike or e-bike they can park it and go look for a site without worrying about getting stuck out there. Adventurevanman has found some truly amazing spots wandering on his little dirt bike. The last RV oven I had I had to always cook everything 25 degrees less than the directions as well as rotate.
When crossing into Indiana on 50 into Vincennes the George Rogers Clark memorial is nearby, The Red Skelton Museum is also close. Take highway 41 south into Evansville, btw, 41 is part of the Dixie Highway that runs from Michigan to Florida. Evansville was a supplier of LST's during WWII, take a tour of an LST while here and visit the Evansville Wartime Museum. A League Of Their Own was filmed in Evansville and surrounding cities. I could show you my baseball glove with the stars autographs. There are some fruit and veg stand here in town also. Depending on when you get to southern Indiana watermelon and cantaloupe are available from the fields. Stay safe.
Nice find. I see it was in the region of the Great Basin National Park.
That is correct
Glad I know the trouble with the windshield, I thought my eyes were going. Lol. I noticed it right away.
Wow what. Beautiful drive!
Hi from BC Canada.I enjoy your videos. You are a very positive person.
I am sure there is something you can put on the window in case someone wouldn’t think you left Sadie in a hot car. Some people may call the police if they thought that she was in danger. Just a thought.
What a great video. I really enjoyed it. There were some beautiful views on that road. You chose a really nice camp spot. Looking forward to watching this trip. Safe travels Carolyn!👍😊
Another great video. I was saying no when you put your mail in the blue box. They have been saying those aren't being picked up. Hope your mail gets where it's supposed to. Safe travels.
Thank you for another wonderful video, loved it so much !
Thanks, Carolyn, another great video.
Enjoy your secluded campsite!
Love the scenery looks amazing
Many times I've used 4x6 board pieces to level, my fav is the Anderson leveler, also I've used rocks! (I'll post the photo)
Loved this episode, as usual! Always look forward to a new video every week!
P.S. I keep a pizza stone in my RV oven at all times….helps mine to keep the temp even.
Looked for the Sunday video too. Nothing. Now it’s Wednesday. Hope all is fine.
I was with Carolyn in my dream last night. Just driving around. Weird. Had to share. Not lying either.
As always thanks again!!!
My pleasure!
Hi Carolyn, I loved the videos of Mexico with you and your friends. Beautiful scenery. I really like your videos and I like the longer videos! Stay safe and take care!!!Jodi
Well hello Carolyn
What a surprise
Forgot it was Sunday 😂
Awww❤ always Carolina. You spire me
Hi Carolyn, great maneuvering on those roads. That's the one thing I worry about boondocking. My class c is 27 feet and crappie roads. I guess I could do a 100 point turn around 🤷 😂lol. Blessed travels always. Thanks again for your videos
Hello Carolyn, been watching for years - rarely comment. I’m always behind on video’s… I live in Salt Lake and always wanted to meet you. I’m sure you are miles away from Sale Lake. I retired last year and satellite out from my house in a Roadtrek van with two small dogs. I grew up camping and doing road trips with family. It has always been in my blood. Now I get to go as I please. I am loving retirement. Enjoy your drive through Utah it is a beautiful state.
Kelly
Beautiful area!
Yep! My rv oven is the same
Thanks for another RV adventure
Great western music!!! Its like a clint eastwood movie..
That was funny, I don't care who you are. -- That's is one of the catch phrases from Larry the Cable Guy.
UTAH!!!!!!!! My Home !! Welcome
great job Carolyn, ,been watching for years . You never get old with you channel. i llive in my van now after selling my home and im happy i just still work some at 70. Not much..i want to hit the road for the Ozarks...soon . Keep up the great work..Nancy
I swear, I don't know how you do it. Que cajones!
Makes me wanna get in my minivan and go somewhere❤😅
Great video
This was pne of my favorite videos of yours:)
Beautiful campsite. :)
great adventure ! shivering black bell thumbs up and hearts!
That waggle monitor is great thing
Well, like your other fans I hope to see you someday, I know I won't, but I am less than seventy miles north of Salt Lake City. Probably about as close as I will ever be. By next week I will have been a year in this lifestyle. Your videos have been very helpful. I do still have a lot to learn.
Dry long day for Sadie. 25:33
Yummy Daiya pizza is my favourite gluten free pizza, I'm planning on a camping trip this summer and you give wonderful tips and tricks on your videos :)
I wish I have some of that cold weather, it was 104 degrees here today..Brutal 😂 Enjoyed the video
Where was it that hot? Asia?
@@Serenityfor1 Mexico
When you finished leveling the rig, Did you notice the SNAKE in the bush you filmed ?
Hard to be level but you did great
Beautiful scenes
Yea, me and Google don’t get along. Google tells me ‘turn left’ ……and there IS no left, or turn left or right and it’s the opposite. Grrrr. When I’m in the city and not pulling anything, it’s just irritating, but when I’m pulling my 30 ft TRAILER behind me, it can be quite scary….with no place to turn around or back up. So yea, me no trust Mr/Miss/Ms/They/Them…..whatever Google.
New Sub here! Love your video!
Carolyn your using my bad i gave you last Christmas. I'm so excited you like it. Laurie from Maine
I thought it was you!! thank you!!
Your welcome Carolyn
I know… now I’m too scared to go!
Hello 👋 from Mexico 🇲🇽
Hello 👋
Enjoy the Loneliest Highway!
Your welcome
Love your videos Have you thought about 4x4 van.
You might want to consider doing a security block (it’s called something like that) where no new credit cards, etc can be opened in your name. If someone stole your tax returns/SSN/info out of the mail. It might be called a credit freeze (?)
Scouting the road ahead with a drone is something I hope to be able to do someday. I'm in a mid-sized suv. I no longer have my motor home with a 454, so no real power to get out of a sticky muddy rutty road situation.
I just found your video yesterday about wifi names and got busy with tasks so I'm glad I found you again today. Will be following you. I've lived and traveled in my car for six years now. At my daughter's now but plan to head to NM next month. Hugs to all the great women out living a peaceful life!
We'll be in the area late this year. Thanks for showing us some of the beautiful scenery! I loved the trick with leaving the camera on the ground while you drove off! Glad you didn't forget about it and walked all the way back to get it! lol I'm sure that was well planned in advance! BTW, we're considering the Waggle Pet Monitor for our cats! Thanks again
Certainly don't like driving tall vehicles in the wind!
Question: will just leveling one side that high over time hurt your axal? Mine is sometimes off about 1 bubble of being level and i say good enough lol But I have never been somewhere this uneven wow so just had to ask 😂 thankful to anyone who might answer
Do you know how many 8 minute timers you started with this video?
😂😂😂
How did you get turned around on that second road? Or did you back all the out to the highway? I've been on that stretch of 50 from Delta to Ely, but have only boondocked closer to Ely.
I had to back up a little bit and take another dirt road and was eventually able to turn around. I actually drove around those roads for quite a while. There's a lot I didn't show (I think it would get boring for people). I did find a place to turn around, but it was tight. :-)
@@CarolynsRVLife You're starting your 9th year. I had to stop and count, but in August, I'll be starting my 8th year! I've been watching your videos since I started in 2017.
That's awesome! Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐. Thanks so much for watching @

I have to go an binge watch your videos😂anywho thankyou for your hard efforts sending Blessings ,Stay Safe BE Happy From me V AUSTRALIA🥰 GODBLESS
I loved how you shared your pizza with us! Stay safe, my friend. I'm still watching and lovin you!
I really enjoyed this video. So many helpful tips.
I'm planning on going to the RTR this coming January 2025 leaving from Lafayette Louisiana and I know it will take me several days to get there.
I always enjoy your videos.
You always keep it real about the ups and downs of RV life on the road and I appreciate that. I'm in a 2001, 24ft Class C that I love. It's the perfect size for me to feel comfortable driving and traveling in by myself. Safe travels to you and Sadie.
That is a descent price for GF pizza, too!
It's vegan too!
Carolyn, is the rear window broken out?
No.
I saw the curtain flying out the back window while she was closing up camp also. I just figured she had her window open for that great breeze. 😃
@@katebriggs9301
I thought those back windows were sealed.
It looks like she has those towels taped there.
@@sapphiresword139 could be! lol I thought they were curtains!
My back window is the emergency exit. It's not sealed and there were no towels and no tape. just the curtain blowing in the breeze.
Carolyn, that was a very pretty place you camped at. I love Arugula myself. Thank you so much for the video. Really love watching you. Stay safe.
