I can really appreciate the advice for big rigs. Thank you so much for taking the time, i have a big rig and have wanted to visit the pinnacles. Truly grateful for this advice
I love rock formations of all kinds but these look really cool! Will definitely try to visit this spot when we hit the road... Thanks for sharing! 💙Terry and Terri
More to come! I read your comment to Melody and she broke out laughing. We do try to share camping locations and experiences others will enjoy. Thanks for riding along with us Ralph. Lou
Trona Pinnacles has a moon scape feel. Be sure to activate the notification bell to catch our video on City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico. Thanks for watching! Lou
Awesome video, never heard of this place before. Very interesting. At some point we plan on hitting the 395 and this looks like a must see. Thanks for sharing you two. Safe Travels!! 🍻 Sean, Angie and Jazz
Thank you for the video. I enjoy every one you publish. My retirement comes this November and we’re hoping to travel our country for a few years in much the same fashion as you are doing. You’re our trail blazer and we sincerely appreciate you sharing your experiences making easier for us to visit some of the locations you’ve highlighted.
Thanks for this video! We are headed to Red Rock State Park next week and won't be able to visit Trona Pinnacles this time but it is an easy day trip from LA. I had never heard of this site. I have been following your videos of the Lone Pine area and this popped up on the side. Thanks again.
What an Enchanting place and landscape !!! I would love to climb up around the Pinnacles ! I bet it was fun hiking around them. Question...do you ever, look down and around on the ground for traces of ...dinosaur tracks or bones and such ? I know I would be so tempted on doing that for sure ! lol The road looks good, but I know it probably would get somewhat washboardish. Do they allow open fires there ? I didnt see, too much that could catch on fire. Yes, I see how you and Melody keep in shape, you must have walked hundreds of miles on your adventures ! I'd like to know who keeps those small rocks all lined up all the time! Seems like they would get all out of order from people walking over them ! Awww look , there comes Milo. He looks so happy !! What ?!! Oh no....NO Lou, do NOT go into the cave..😧... Creatures may be in there!! Oh Lordy ! lol What exactly would that cave have been there for ? or did someone cut it out of the rock? It didnt look like very many people were there, at that time you all camped there. Yum, dinner sounds good. Im hungry, from all the walking, YOU did ! lol Hope you have some, "moon pie's" in the rig, for our dessert ! 😂 lol Thank you guys for all the video's ! We feel so blessed, that you are doing them, and we are able to "ride along" to these places with y'all, that you visit, cause I know , some of these places I will never have the opportunity to visit there myself !! You both do an excellent job of being our "tour guides" for all of them !!! Thanks for the ride, its been fun and awsome so far ! Cant wait to see whats, down the road ! Happy Trails! Vicky (hey...if possible...in the small towns you go thru, if you could, you need to keep a better eye out for a few more, quaint, little, ice cream stands to stop at....Im feeling some vibe's, from Milo, that he might be missing out on some, that you may have passed on by ) lol 😃🐕🍧🍦
You are showing me places I've never been to in my own home state! Thank you! I agree with other comments. You are very informative, and have become my go-to channel to see all of the wonderful places I can travel to and camp, on a limited budget! Thank you Lou!

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, they are so helpful. It's hard to decide whether to check out a place to camp by looking at apps, maps and reviews.
Hi Paul. We are now in the Austin area. Spent two glorious weeks in the West Texas/Big Bend/Rio Grande area. The area exceeded our expectations. Be sure to catch these videos when published -- some of our best content. Lou
I have a couple questions this morning first what size is your battery Bank. And watching your videos it appears you go counterclockwise around the country is this correct. I have not purchased my Thousand Trails yet my question is is it even necessary you seem to do a pretty good job without using it much at least it appears that way. The question is doing what you do the way you do it how much do you think you pay for a place to stay during the course of a year excluding all the other stuff. Thank you very much for helping us plan our retirement. Mostly I just watch your videos here and there however I will be sitting down with my wife and watching most of your videos starting from approximately October November because that's when we plan on leaving our sticks and bricks. I'm guessing your video should be fairly much in order from spot to spot month to month. Please keep posting your videos your information is priceless and easy to follow thank you
Thanks for watching Mike. Our video queue is currently more than several months deep. For the most part, I publish videos in order, but if I encounter a situation or place that is more timely relevant, I'll publish immediately after recording the video. Free camping is a passion of mine because no matter how tight a budget, free is always a bargain. We like gorgeous scenery with our free camping and we bring our viewers the best we can find. With that said moving across the country at a leisurely pace often requires an economical overnight stay, and we share those as well. Thousand Trails is our best camping membership and well worth the cost. See our 3 year review under our Save Money with Thousand Trails playlist. Safe travels. Lou
That is a really beautiful place. Hard to believe it is BLM land and free. So awesome. How long did you guys stay? I want to go back to California now just to go there. Wish we had seen this before we headed back to FL.
Camping is dispersed camping and there are no designated sites. However, access is limited if you have a big rig as I point out in the video. Thanks for watching! Lou

Lou...really enjoy your in depth reviews. If you keep doing these videos..I'm going to need a new pencil for my wish list. Safe travels.
More to come! I read your comment to Melody and she broke out laughing. We do try to share camping locations and experiences others will enjoy. Thanks for riding along with us Ralph. Lou
Nice job for RVers to follow in your footsteps. Thanks!
Enjoy the adventure! Lou
Looks like an amazing place. Reminds me in some ways of City of Rocks. Thanks for sharing.

Love your videos! If your ever in New Mexico and you love rock formations , and free camping, try Bisti Badlands.
Angel Peak and Bisti Badlands are on our to do list. Thanks for riding along with us Gloria. Lou
Thanks for another great video of places we need to see. It would be great if you could mention when you were visiting. Thanks again.

Supposedly, some of the original series of Star Trek was filmed there!
Another excellent video. These videos are so informative and inspiring. Still heading towards the Big Bend Texas area?

Did you have to be in 4WD mode?
4x4 was not needed for the access road and where I camped. Thanks for watching. Lou
That is a really beautiful place. Hard to believe it is BLM land and free. So awesome. How long did you guys stay? I want to go back to California now just to go there. Wish we had seen this before we headed back to FL.
Just not enough time to see every cool stop, even in retirement. But our camping map tracks our dreams for the next pass through. Lou
@@LivingOurDreamNow We are putting this on our next west coast adventure for sure. :)
Thanks for the video. I want to camp there. What time of year were you there. I know summers are hot.
This video was recorded in November 2021. Lou
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Can you camp anywhere in trona Pinnacles or do you need to camp within designated ports?
Camping is dispersed camping and there are no designated sites. However, access is limited if you have a big rig as I point out in the video. Thanks for watching! Lou
What’s a good month to travel there? Love the video
December through February is a good time to visit.
