Alright guys...seriously....this is one of your best videos. Your cinematography is unreal. You tease us with an explanation of an oasis, we get a few seconds of walking through dry, barren desert to tease us, and then *WHAM* a beautiful, lush green oasis fills the screen! Go back over this video and see what I mean. You two are so much better than you will ever realize or accept credit for. Almost as good as Tarantino, but nobody got killed! Bre is beautiful, TJ is so relaxed with that friendly smile! And the two cutest pups on the internet! Without question, my favourite RUclips channel. Thanks very much.
Just this past January, on our way to Arizona, we found on one of many apps., that at Twenty-Nine Palms, there is a casino, and they more than welcomed us to stay for up to three days (free). So, we stayed there, and drove our car in to Joshua Tree National Park and went on some hikes ourselves! We did stop at the two main campsites, just to take a peek, and they where jammed full, and we didn't really find many sites that would facilitate our larger Motorhome, so we at least found that out! The hike was fantastic, although we did encounter some snow in the shady locations, but took lots of photo's of our encounter and really enjoyed it! Thanks for showing us around!
At 11:42, you say it is pretty cold. Both dogs had the look mine did before a winter quail hunt. They were excited and comfortable in their element. Very cool. RIP Patches 1995. a great quail dog. She was a Springer too
Love it. We live just an hour from there. March is when the desert flowers bloom. We have an annual national park pass, and annual state park pass. That's a great way to go. Those cholla cactus are known to jump off at you, and stick on you (when u get too close). And they're painful to remove.
Great attitude with the site stealer. Glad there was another site available, if not the vlog could have gone another way. Beautiful area and great vlog.
Thanks, I may not have had that attitude in the moment but after taking a breath or two I got there eventually. That guy was a real booger, he was in a tent and took up one of the larger sites in the campground and only ended up staying one night 😤Oh well, it all worked out and we had a great time in Joshua Tree despite him!
Joshua Tree is a treasure that you can only appreciate by being there. Good on you two for giving it a shot. Bet you were a bit surprised by how chilly it can be. As many hours as we've spent in the park I NEVER heard the large bouldering rocks referred to as Flintstones rocks ... but Flintstones is the perfect name ... perfect visual.
Another beauty guys! Loved the oasis..that was cool. I don’t know how you guys remember all that info you tell us!!! I’m guessing you both are above average intelligence...Thanks for making wonderful videos, I know it’s a lot of work and time spent! 🥰👍👌🎉😊
Glad you enjoyed, Loran!! Decent short term memory, just don't quiz us on it a week later 😉As always, thanks for watching and commenting, we'll see you next week!
Love your channel. Love the historical sites, views, and the short synopsis you give. I live on an island in the middle of the Pacific. I"m sure many of these places I'll probably never actually visit. Thank you!
I have a Joshua Tree that I have grown from seed in my house in northern Minnesota. Yes, it stays indoors during the winter. They are related to the lily family.
I would guess it was quite a different place in the 60’s. It is really beautiful place, but I understand it can get pretty crowded at peak times. I’m glad we were able to bring back some good memories. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂
@@EmbracingDetours yes back then you could spend the day out there and see maybe two or three others. We would rummage around the old stamp Mills and climb all over the rocks. Spring was best as everything was in bloom. I always love the desert it holds a special beauty of its own. Thank again
Great video. Your videos are just getting better and better. We love Joshua Tree and stay on BLM next to the park when we are heading to or coming back from Arizona. One of our most disappointing moments in JT was when the park was closed during the government shutdown and the yahoos from the LA area invaded the park and wreaked havoc. Fortunately friends in the outdoor industry stepped up, along with many others, to help keep the park as clean as possible. The fact that JT is so accessible from the LA area means that there will be a few more rotten apples that don't follow camping etiquette. In the end, never let that kind of thing spoil the visit to an awesome park...
We were in this area in late November! It was SO cold. The Cholla garden is really cool. We hiked there a few years ago with my brother-in-law. Keys View is beautiful. We went there too but not at sunset! WOW!!!
The weather was almost perfect for us in December. We were very lucky though, only a few weeks after we left and it was snowing there 🥶 We truly enjoyed our time in Joshua Tree NP 🙂
Thanks for filming the ride in the trailer. Thousands of posts has bashed about not riding in a trailer, but few have ever shown it live. Thanks for showing.
A very entertaining vlog - Great eye for videoing the beautiful sunsets, the desert walks and sharing the history. I’ve put Joshua Tree on my list to see. And your final RV site looked very nice.
Thanks again for taking us along. The photography is fantastic. I lived in AZ for 26 years and have been at this park but never experienced it like you folks have. Thanks again. All the best to you.
Can you imagine the stories you might hear.... if the boulders, could talk? Video nicely done, Joshua Tree National Park now on our bucket list. 👍 Be well, safe travels.
We are hoping to visit the Joshua Tree area this summer (2021!) Thanks for the video about the great hikes here. We may need to alter our walks from what you did in December 2019. Your short ride in your rig reminds me. In 1977, we bought our first travel trailer on a ‘diving into the deep end of the pool’ experience, without even knowing we were, as we hauled a 17 1/2 foot Prowler behind a 1960 Chev Apache 1/2 ton from Bremerton, WA to Biloxi, MS for an Air Force school at Keebler AFB. We knew nothing about trailering. My wife, who likes to sleep in, decided she could simply sleep in while I hit the road at Oh Dark Thirty one morning in Montana. We had no communications between the trailer and the truck cab. I told her to wind the louvered windows on the driver’s side of the trailer in and out when she and our 3 year old daughter were ready to come up to the truck. I would see the windows going in the rear view mirror and pull over. I never did see the windows going, but finally pulled over after a few hours anyway. My wife reported to me that she had been working the windows like a Navy Signalman all the time. I never saw them, though I was looking. (No! Really!) She reported that, it was so bumpy and noisy, they did not sleep at all from the very start. That was the last time she ‘slept in’ for the entire trip, while we were on the road. PS The trip down to Biloxi and the trip back along I-10 and up I-5 (with a wonderful stop to visit snowbirding grandparents in Hemet, CA) was without any serious problems at all. After about six months living in a small travel trailer, my wife ended up loving it! We are full timing now for the last eight months in a considerably larger rig. Thanks for the video!
Now that's a funny story 😆 Oh I can just imagine your poor wife back there frantically winding the windows open and closed! I guess that's one way to get us ladies up and moving early!! We really enjoyed Joshua Tree, such a unique landscape! Our pleasure, glad you enjoyed the video and we hope you enjoy your time there as much as we did 👍
Started off a little bumpy ride, no respect for the empty char marker, you did well to move on...tough sometimes dealing with those people. Ended with a great tour and photos that are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Hope to join this traveling bug soon. On a long trip out west years ago, my brother talked me into riding in the trailer for a rest...awful experience, before cell phones. He finally stopped after one hour of bouncing, I’ll never do that again.
Thanks... I won't lie, that situation really rubbed me the wrong way and I needed a bit to cool off before I could film about it. You know what they say about karma. Riding in the trailer while moving is no joke, I can't imagine what it must have been like at speed 😬Totally sounds like something a brother would do lol. So glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching and commenting and we hope to see you out here one day soon!
Thank you for showing us all the places that we haven't been camping. It reminded me a little bit of the Alabama Hills West of Lone Pine against the mountains. Thank you for sharing your great videos with us.
What beautiful country! Thanks for taking us along 😉 Gotta say, you guys have a real knack for editing and finding just the right music to reinforce the images. Thanks for all you do!
I have to agree with the person that too "your site". Up here in Wa. State, campground rules state that you cannot claim a site by leaving stuff in it.
Love your rig. Could you do a video on how you do electrical when boondocking? I've noticed some solar panels in some of your videos. Interested in the technical details, and peculiarities of an Airstream.
We're currently in Joshua Tree, CA. Keys View was awesome! And those 5,000 off shoots is what got us lost on the Hidden Valley Trail - LOL - Great video!
Man my legs are tired you guys walked a lot beautiful country another great video you guys be safe out there watch all the crazies looking forward to the next one
Well, I’m not sure I would have been as good with the interlopers as you! However, your site looked wonderful. Great video! Awesome beauty! Thanks for sharing!
I’m sorry about those people that took your campsite 💔I know the feeling next time stay at Black Rock canyon campground there are beautiful trails from there and WiFi dump station and water ❤️thank you for your awesome videos❤️glad I found you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful place! Historical areas are so cool to see. We went to Tombstone last year and although it’s quite commercialized it was still fun to see. Thanks for the video!
Well if you are out fishing for subscribers, I swallowed the hook!!! Excellent video. Love your style, and the content of the natural beauty was stellar. Thank you!
3:22 I thought that might happen, I would have thought it was just a forgoten or abandoned chair myself - I would have suggested that you stayed behind.
We were in Joshua tree in November, of course we made reservations and didn’t assume we could just park anywhere. Also illegal to ride in trailer so looks like you guys are above doing the right thing! Rangers tell you when you enter not to park in any reserve spots.
Another great video. My wife and I are leaving second week of April for our first cross country travel experience in our AS. We have six weeks off from work for the trip. A little nervous about the trip because we don’t want to make reservations.
I think Joshua Tree National Park is a great place to visit. It is much better to visit when it's not so hot. I did several helicopter searches for missing people in Joshua Tree when I was working out of the CHP's Inland Division regional helicopter. All were during the hot months, and none of them turned out well. Still, it is quite the place.
Too bad you’re not still in Joshua Tree NP. I’ve been following your channel for a while and enjoy it very much. I live in Yucca Valley and worked in law enforcement in the Morongo Basin for about 24 years. I’m retired now and it would have been nice to meet you both. The wife and I are about 1 year out from full-timing in our class A. Take care and safe travels.
Darn it! We're sorry we missed the chance to meet up with you and your wife 😔We don't post where we are while we're there for safety reasons, being law enforcement I imagine you understand. Thank you for the kind wishes, we look forward to seeing you out on the road soon!!
Hi, youtube recommended this video, I guess since I watch a lot of boon docking videos. Really enjoyed this one. The sharpness of the video was outstanding....and you did this with only a Canon M6? Sorry you ran into some bad actors at the camp spot. Contrary to some of the naysayers below. If you leave a sign of occupancy at a site, then the site is yours. Tent campers leave their tent in place when exploring. Perhaps the chair was not suggestive enough for possession. Anyway, in this age of gun nuts, it is best to move on. You do not know who is packing. The space is not worth dying for. Now off to see some of your other video. Safe travels.
I guess the most pressing two questions are 1) Did you get your chair back? 2) did you re encounter the "claim jumper" while staying there , hiking, stepping out of the vault toilet etc.?
It appears there are 1 percenters in the RV community, just like there are in the motorcycle world. Glad it didn't spoil your adventure. v/r, TS - Denver
Your videos got us hooked on visiting the national parks. In fact we plan on driving out to the Smokey Mountains this spring! Have you been there? Also going to Acadia this summer. Hope to one day do what your doing now.
We love our National Parks!! Coming from Florida we have spent a fair share of our pre-RV travels in and around the Smokies, it is a beautiful part of the country. Acadia is a magical place as are most of the New England states. Great area to visit but plan ahead, Acadia gets very busy in the summer. Enjoy your trip and safe travels. Hope to see you out on the road someday 🙂
Hello, I just found your channel and loved your adventure and two pups!!!!! How do you like your van / airstream set up. It looks great. I hope to locate a truck camper and hit the tails full time come Nov 2020. Safe travels, and see you down the road and around the bend! Randy Toledo Ohio.
Embracing Detours probably MastodonPeak and Barker Dam. Although, each hike had it’s own beauty and interesting facets. We stayed at Blackrock Campground in our travel trailer. Nice hiking there, plus, water and flush toilets and dump.
Enjoy your videos and travel experiences! Think I spotted a Berky (?) water filter in your kitchen? If so, what model and your thoughts. Thanks, stay safe.
The park looked very "cool" when you were there and gather its even more spectacular if one can catch it during a super bloom, that's if it rains. Quite the looking plants and landscape indeed from the trails you explored but I wouldn't want to be caught there during the summer !. As to the tent camper, karma will catch up with him sooner or later with that sort of attitude. May have to make up a sign for future use to attach to the lawn chair "reserved campsite" or something along those lines for the somewhat pushy self absorbed few that are out there mingling with the majority of mostly respecting camping goers.
We have found the odd ass*#~! during our travels but we have that the majority of people we encountered have been awesome. We decided that they weren’t worth the energy to deal with. I’m certain they will find their special campsite lol
I've been wanting to go there! Question for you, how do you keep your dogs cool when not with you on your excursions? I know it wasn't hot on this trip, but I'm wondering how you do it if it is. Thank you
I knew as soon as you left that chair that someone was going to claim the site. I think I would have stayed with the chair but that may have been worse if he was a stroppy bloke!
We're with you there!! I'm no snake expert, but I think because snakes are cold-blooded they're much less active during the cooler months and you don't have to worry about them quite as much 🐍👍
@@EmbracingDetours True, some say that they are hibernating as long as night temps are below 50 degrees and the day temps stay cool. My desert hiking period in Las Vegas area is mid to late November until mid April. Have never seen a rattler during this period.
RUclips recommended this video awesome video, sorry about camp site but a chair does nothing to show the site is yours, someone could have left it behind you know what I mean 😪

This is California, guys! You are lucky the camp-site stealer didn’t swipe your chair! 😂
People are both the best & worst part of this lifestyle...kudos for not letting the instigator ruin your visit 👏👏👏
Great tour guys....you are definitely in the running for king and queen of b-roll! Thanks for taking us along!
At 11:42, you say it is pretty cold. Both dogs had the look mine did before a winter quail hunt. They were excited and comfortable in their element. Very cool. RIP Patches 1995. a great quail dog. She was a Springer too
We loved Joshua Tree National Park! We were thinking just like you...another desert park...how could it be different?! Beautiful Park!
Great video guys, been to Joshua Tree many times years ago. Thanks for letting me see it again.
Love it. We live just an hour from there. March is when the desert flowers bloom. We have an annual national park pass, and annual state park pass. That's a great way to go. Those cholla cactus are known to jump off at you, and stick on you (when u get too close). And they're painful to remove.

I love Joshua Tree NP! I am originally from Palm Springs, so have always loved the desert. Great video!
I LOVE THE MOUNTAINS AND TREES BUT THE DESERT DOES HAVE IT'S OWN KIND OF BEAUTY.
Awesome video. I really don't have much knowledge of Joshua Tree, but your video makes me want to explore it!
You both are amazing folks! :-) love your videos! God bless you both! :-)
Another great video learned important information from you guys again
Great photography/videography on this one. I love the information that you give. I'm a homeschool mom and it makes me happy.
THAT IS REALLY SOME INTERESTING GEOLOGY. LOOKS LIKE IT IS WELL WORTH VISITING.

Great vid ya'll, very clean out there.
Excellent video. We got a ton out of it. Great hiking information. I was debating staying at Jumbo rocks but now will stay at Belle
Following from Tampa, Fl. Keep it up, looks like your having a great time!
Just came across your channel. Great video! I'll be watching more for sure.
Love your rig. Could you do a video on how you do electrical when boondocking? I've noticed some solar panels in some of your videos. Interested in the technical details, and peculiarities of an Airstream.
The Colorado Desert section is where the wildflower superbloom was last year.
We're currently in Joshua Tree, CA. Keys View was awesome! And those 5,000 off shoots is what got us lost on the Hidden Valley Trail - LOL - Great video!
Man my legs are tired you guys walked a lot beautiful country another great video you guys be safe out there watch all the crazies looking forward to the next one
Thank you, Kenny!! Most of the hikes were relatively easy so it wasn't too difficult to do a few extra 😉
nailed it. Thanks.
Well, I’m not sure I would have been as good with the interlopers as you! However, your site looked wonderful. Great video! Awesome beauty! Thanks for sharing!
I’m sorry about those people that took your campsite 💔I know the feeling next time stay at Black Rock canyon campground there are beautiful trails from there and WiFi dump station and water ❤️thank you for your awesome videos❤️glad I found you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful place! Historical areas are so cool to see. We went to Tombstone last year and although it’s quite commercialized it was still fun to see.
Thanks for the video!
Had a similar experience there in January when our water cache was taken. Pirates rules at Joshua Tree.
Another awesome video! Definitely putting Joshua Tree on my list after seeing this!
Well if you are out fishing for subscribers, I swallowed the hook!!! Excellent video. Love your style, and the content of the natural beauty was stellar. Thank you!
Thank you so much for following along and commenting 😊
thanks for sharing.
Very nice informative video. Good Job!
Thanks for sharing guys! This place has been on our list for a while...just haven't been able to make it out there yet. Looks beautiful.
Love the video. Your camera on the oasis trail is so crisp....I feel like I could touch the rocks and other items!
3:22 I thought that might happen, I would have thought it was just a forgoten or abandoned chair myself - I would have suggested that you stayed behind.
we were there in December as well...loved it.

Another great video. I can’t wait to see it in person. JT must be the place where my Uncle Ralph thought they staged the lunar landing in 1969! !
Lol.....we thought it happened down at Big Bend National Park......looked just like the moon

Hello, I just found your channel and loved your adventure and two pups!!!!! How do you like your van / airstream set up. It looks great. I hope to locate a truck camper and hit the tails full time come Nov 2020. Safe travels, and see you down the road and around the bend! Randy Toledo Ohio.
cool
You should have Sat in the chair! Live and learn.
With the dogs.
That really shouldn’t be necessary.
@@touringdan technically claiming a site in a national park without a human present is illegal. So it is absolutely necessary to sit in the chair.
JT is a great place we camped there last May for a week. Hiked all the trails and then some. Beautiful area
Nice!! I bet May was a beautiful time of year to be there 😊What was your favorite hike?
Embracing Detours probably MastodonPeak and Barker Dam. Although, each hike had it’s own beauty and interesting facets. We stayed at Blackrock Campground in our travel trailer. Nice hiking there, plus, water and flush toilets and dump.
Enjoy your videos and travel experiences! Think I spotted a Berky (?) water filter in your kitchen? If so, what model and your thoughts. Thanks, stay safe.
Haha yep California I’m surprised the chair was still there.
The park looked very "cool" when you were there and gather its even more spectacular if one can catch it during a super bloom, that's if it rains. Quite the looking plants and landscape indeed from the trails you explored but I wouldn't want to be caught there during the summer !. As to the tent camper, karma will catch up with him sooner or later with that sort of attitude. May have to make up a sign for future use to attach to the lawn chair "reserved campsite" or something along those lines for the somewhat pushy self absorbed few that are out there mingling with the majority of mostly respecting camping goers.
We have found the odd ass*#~! during our travels but we have that the majority of people we encountered have been awesome. We decided that they weren’t worth the energy to deal with. I’m certain they will find their special campsite lol
Nice video
What is the most popular camping loop , is it the bell loop , also are they first come first serve sites
What kind of dogs do you have? Are they Springer Spaniels? They are adorable.
Was that the L.A crawl?
Yes it was 🤪 Three hours of stop and go traffic through Pasadena.
I've been wanting to go there! Question for you, how do you keep your dogs cool when not with you on your excursions? I know it wasn't hot on this trip, but I'm wondering how you do it if it is. Thank you
I knew as soon as you left that chair that someone was going to claim the site. I think I would have stayed with the chair but that may have been worse if he was a stroppy bloke!
I always worry about snake's when in a desert area.
We're with you there!! I'm no snake expert, but I think because snakes are cold-blooded they're much less active during the cooler months and you don't have to worry about them quite as much 🐍👍
@@EmbracingDetours True, some say that they are hibernating as long as night temps are below 50 degrees and the day temps stay cool. My desert hiking period in Las Vegas area is mid to late November until mid April. Have never seen a rattler during this period.
I worry more about the 2 legged snakes
Were dogs allowed on any of the trails you went on?
No
RUclips recommended this video awesome video, sorry about camp site but a chair does nothing to show the site is yours, someone could have left it behind you know what I mean 😪
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
DECEMBER???? YEAH THAT EDITING TAKES A WHILE.
make-up adds overhead to RV lifestyle
