    If I may. Let me pass along a little tip I learned from my Italian grandmother. After you pour the canned tomatoes into the pan add the water into the tomato cans, swish the water around in the can then pour into the pan. It will clean the can and add more tomato flavor to your meal..

    Good Sunday morning Catherine. It warms my heart that you take the time to visit the sites where my ancestors lived and that you take the time to learn about these amazing dwellings and people, for that I thank you! Also, great pics of the first sunset at camp! I love pics of clouds. I even have books on clouds. As always, love you and be safe 💖🙏.

There are many more steps. AG1 looks like a good one. Keep advancing darlin'. Your vids are a gift I won't forget.

    I visited cottonwood as a home base to explore that area. I loved tuzigoot and Montezumas castle. It was so cool at tuzigoot to be able to step where the people who once lived there stepped, inside the actual rooms. Snd up to the roof. Montezumas castle was pretty amazing. I really wish I could have climbed around in there. What an amazing site

    Enjoyed learning about the historic ruins. Quite amazing that they were able to build their cliffside dwelling on five levels accessed only by ladders, and also how the Tazagoot dwellings were accessed through their roofs. Your spinach pasta looked yummy and I wish we had smell-o-vision. Happy Trails! Jenny

    Good Day Ms. Gregory. i have finally realized why i love the views in side your home. that's pretty much what it will look like when i can do what your doing. Fancy, adding a cooking segment to your fantastic adventures. I absolutely love Arizona, from Yuma, to Flagstaff. beautiful isolated in the desert. there are so many hidden towns, homes, mines, and spectacular sights. well anyway, that dinner looked fantastic. definitely making that here at home. until next week, God Bless, be safe.

    Another wonderful video! I camped at the Cottonwood State Park in October, the whole Verde Valley is such a magical place. If you get a chance, go to Montezuma's Well before you leave the area, it is often overlooked when people visit Montezuma's Castle. I love visiting the ruins of the Native American People, I always have a peaceful feeling when I visit these places but there was something extremely peaceful that touched my soul at both the castle and the Well.
    I spent the 3 weeks following Christmas in Arizona, came home to take care of a couple of things and am headed back this week, I'll keep an eye out for your camper, I'd love to run into you. I'm so glad you are able to enjoy the warmth of the Arizona Sun this time of year. I look forward to seeing where else you visit on this trip. Lost Dutchman is one of my favorite places, I enjoyed that video as well. Safe travels!

The ruins are beautiful makes you wonder why we can't build homes that last that long anymore. The meal you made I have everything here BUT the turkey sausage bummer. Sure looks great. Great to see you so happy this morning we all need that in this day and time and you take us to a happy place every week. Take care and thanks for sharing these beautiful places.

    I've been to Montezuma's castle (long ago) ....rang that bell right off. Haven't been to tagaroot (SPL) or ancient ruins (drove by)(too busy trying to see everything on a weekend jaunt and testing my driving endurance). I love the pasta coma comments (add a glass of vino, I'm there). Keep the grand scenery coming and stay safe and well.

    Hi again from Sacramento. After California, Arizona is my favorite state. There are so, so many ruins I have visited. To get to some of them, its a 10 hour back and forth horse ride to get to them. It a 16 hour day but so, so worth it. For me these places are spiritual and magical.

      @CarrieLuikens 2 года назад +2

      I live in Phoenix and have been all over AZ the past 25 years. Sedona is an absolute must see, in addition to the Grand Canyon of course. Sedona's "red rock" formations are much easier to hike to than the Grand Canyon area. Depends on how adventurous you are. There are backcountry trails in both Sedona and Grand Canyon. I like the trails that surround Sedona near Cathedral Rock where Oak Creek runs by. It is gorgeous there any season, but especially in Autumn. Plus there are lots of interesting shops in Sedona and delicious food at various restaurants.

    AZ Highway 87 was one of my favorite motorcycle rides (motocamping) along with Highway 89. My gosh, I use to love saying Tuzigoot as well. I even composed a limerick which I would sing as I rode my motorcycle and it seemed to make the miles fly by. Your breakfast and dinner meals 😋 looked delicious. Bacon and egg sandwiches on toasted multi-grain bread are the bomb; have to try them with spinach and cheese. I often make bow tie pasta with stir fried chicken, green onions and baby spinach topped with a creamy mushroom sauce. Bok Choi is another vegetable I love making with Ramen noodles with a couple of tablesoons of kimchi added. Simple meals like these are easy to prepare when camping in a vehicle. Great photography as usual...makes watching your videos with a great cup of coffee on Sunday morning a veritable treat. Thanks, Catherine!

    Good morning Cat... We're al;most nalmy here today. We've warmed-up to... Freezing! Not the coldest place I've ever been. LOL! The Coconino NF is one of my favoriye places to "lose myself" from the world in. Many breattaking trails. While in that area, I hope you have the time to take in Chaco Canypn and Canyon de Chely. Very strong suggestions. I don't think you'll be disappointed! Basha's is one of my regular stops in that part of the country. Once again, more great videography. I like the way you're captioning the highways you're on and highlighting the stops. Much appreciated by us roadtrippers! I have to confess that I stopped at the hot food bar at a nearby supermarket on my way to church and re-heated it after worship. Too cold to self-motivate for cooking. May Almighty God contine to Bless, Guard, Protect, and Guide you onto more great adventures!

    Catherine I have been following your adventures for a while, but just now subscribed. I also have a Lance truck camper that I travel in. Mine is a little larger than yours, and it and my truck are about the same age as yours. I really enjoy the vidoes of the places you visit. I have been to many of the same areas as you, but sadly I somehow missed some of the more scenic spots. I was impressed with your enchilada recipe, and made it last night. Like yours, it was delicious. I have to admit that I am a little envious of your photographic skills, and the beautiful and interesting places you find. I somehow miss a lot of the more interesting places along the way.
    I have spent quite a lot of time in and around the Cottonwood area, and enjoyed every moment of it. There is so much to see and do in that area.
    Thanks for the videos, and the food tips. D.
