I camped in almost that exact spot a year ago! It is truly magical and beyond beautiful! I would often just sit outside and look at the mountains. I would also look the other way in the evening and watch the beautiful sunset. It's unbelievable as it reflects on the mountains!
Why aren't you just being a slug, listening to the rain and reading? I have kitties so they cuddle up with me and I'm in heaven. My perfect world!! We are always so busy so enjoy these serene times.
Sadie is so adorable. What a great companion! I actually love rainy days just sit back and read and relax in my RV. Of course I am retired makes it easier for me.
I think that snowfall was the last moisture we had this spring. It was beautiful. i would suggest always having water and a snack with you since you are hiking alone on the off chance you turn an ankle, etc. You would then have water and food with you while waiting for help to come. Perhaps even a space blanket as well since it can turn very cold once the sun goes down even in summer.
It is so weird to me that people move out into the wilderness just to trash it. I'm sure you know that Joshua Tree used to be a GIANT lake and even a hundred years ago there were still places with standing water. Actually, if you know where to look, there still are.but they are few, far between and no longer clear and nice. But when you get out off the paved roads, there is always evidence of the trash that folks left even then. Abandoned mines with huge pieces of equipment, cans, bottles, cables, cars, trucks, a windmill and so on. Amazing. Gosh, those mountains are amazing. I'm at 3500' elevation and we had some clouds blow over, but no moisture. So cool to see rain and snow up there! Awesome. We desert dwellers celebrate any form of moisture from the sky, eh? Happy new week. I'll have to give that walnut taco filling a try - thanks for the ideas!!!
Wow Carolyn, I spent my whole Air Force 29 year staying away from Holloman AFB, Alamogordo, NM, and now you show me how beautiful it really is. Rain, snow, 80°, heat all in one day...Great. Thank you. It really is " gorgeous ". Stay Beautiful, knowledgeable, adventurous, and safe.
Thank you you made my day... I truly needed this . I love the nature of the desert. Me being 71 and with a bad right knee I can't do the long exploring outings. Again thank you.
My home town. I had tears from the beginning. So nice to see my home. I haven't been there in many many years. The weather was certainly not the norm!! Very cool episode! Thank you for sharing!
It's been so special for me that you've been or were in New Mexico for awhile since I visited for first time in March with my loved ones now living far from me, there in NM. I fell in love with the land and the mountains and loved the people I met in ABQ where I predominantly visited. I was the one saying , boo hoo, I missed the meet up and so narrowly, but loved seeing everyone gathered during your LIVE. I wonder what Sadie would be like had she not been so lucky as to be with you exploring, as she so clearly and naturally loves to do. She runs, digs, sniffs to her heart's content and a cozy home and bed to come home to. The mountains in your video are so beautiful, I couldn't get over seeing the mountains right from ABQ and was in a constant state of "wow".❤️
I'm late to the party and have just now come across this, but great vid. Your enthusiasm for the scenery and that awesome crispness of the desert climate really comes through. I wouldn't have commented until you referred to it as "magical" ... what a great word for New Mexico. I hope to be relocating there soon. Be well.
Hope only snow and no hail . N.M. hail can get ft high and did for us in 1970s. Our metal roof on pop up had oodles of dents all over roof.It was our first trip in tent camper,our new to us, first camper with wheels. 👍Thank you so much for your great YT channel. AND THE WAY I SEE IT.🤗
Misty magic mountains time forgot, cool and so pretty! almost expected a dino to jump down from them mountains and chase you an Sadie all the way back to the RV lol Shame shame take a backpack always with a first aide kit, some snacks and water : ) Awesome video ~*~
Such a wonderful video Carolyn. Well done with gorgeous views! It's a horrible shame that so many people disrespect, destroy, and take this planet for granted. I just don't understand it. This was really a great video and I enjoyed it very much.👍😊
I lived in Alamogordo, on the north edge of town in a run-down trailer park on the north edge of town, in '63 - '64. I could walk right out into the desert very much like in this video. I absolutely LOVED it.
The formations on those mountains are so unusual! Amazing! Personally, I couldn't bear to have any of my pets remains disturbed in such a way. I would be devastated to know that had happened. Sadie is so precious with those expressions and her antics. Bright eyed, shiny coat, gorgeous girl.
I experienced that last night I was in a Walmart parking lot and people would park close to me when they saw me sleeping in my backseat. it's a matter of people in numbers are safer.
My dear I sometimes do Wordel in the middle of the night. I’m 85 and I’m not only into Wordel but now I do Canuckle.. It’s a Canadian version. Remotely related to Canada. Sometimes I think it’s the worst thing I ever did but it’s great I suppose for keeping my mind sharp or making me swear in the middle of the night. Lol. It certainly hasn’t helped me cut down on this thing. I can honestly say I don’t watch television that doesn’t mean I don’t watch anything. Lol
Neri loves small drink/water bottles, they're her favorite toy. Just rinse, take off cap and hours of entertainment. Plus, they don't take up as much room in recycled can when she's finished 😁 Those views are definitely worth the mud.
wonderful Vid Carolyn & Sweet Sadie,😊🌷🌷🌷Never been anywhere just a few states.. Mts in New. Mexico. so Awesome.!! lucky you to see them all Natural. thank you you Both STAY SAFE K. 😊🌷🌷🌷🌷✝️🍉splish splash!!! 😊🌼🎶🎶🎶
I take a water bottle put some rocks inside it, my dogs go crazy for them. Funny doggie toys 🧸 🔫 😄 I've always taught my kids " we take out Everything we taking in with us camping And we even clean up too
Absolutely love your videos Carolyn please keep them rolling in!! I am 76 and still don't have the courage to take off for my adventures 🙃 even though I've bought my camper. You always inspire me. But unlike America 🇺🇸 😕 we don't have much freedom to drive places here New Zealand a lot if land here belongs to Moari...I kind of envy all the beautiful deserts you can freedom park for long periods in USA, it's so boring here and most KIWIS are still sleeping 😴 and depend on government to tell them what to do...anyway would love to hear from you sometime if you come across my messages 😃
Through out this video I kept saying omg, omg, the scenery was awesome in the rain. We’re sloshing around in mud at the moment as well here in SEQld, Australia, been very wet, now humidity is shocking, so can relate.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video. I enjoyed it very much and remembering the many times I have been to Alamogordo and Oliver Lee State Park. I am living in Germany and don`t know much about staying on Public Land. Hope to be back one day
Ooh that landscape is beautiful. I can't wait to get back out west. You'll never see this gun toting gal littering. Someone riding with me threw out a wrapper and I screeched to a halt and made them go pick it up. I said THE WORLD IS NOT YOUR TRASHCAN lol. Sadie is just having the best life😊
Beautiful. Can't wait to head out that way sometime. When I saw your video, I assumed it was an older one but it was posted 10 hours ago! I can't believe there is snow right now because it's hot. Strangely enough, last night we had (MS gulf coast) very large hail! We never have that. Weird weather these days.
Maybe those metal bands/tubes left behind were set there for future use to be used to build a culvert to divert the water under the road so it doesn't wash out. Just spit-balling.
Love all your videos and Sadie too🥰🥰🥰. Question have you ever encounter something not to believe is from this planet? Many Blessings on your exploring 🙏🏻🙏🏻
If you want to find out about plants in the wild watch TH-camr Crime Pays But Botony Doesn’t. Tony is very knowledgeable and passionate about wild plants.He’s very funny and highly opinionated. And does swear a lot. So be aware!
Responding to the grave you found: A friend was buried recently in Gila National Forest. As per his wishes, his body was placed in a wool shroud, with the intent that he would return to the Earth. Gila is one of the few places in the US where this is legal.
Hi Carolyn hi pretty Sadie girl ⚘🐾⚘🐾This was such a COOL video❣❣Really enjoyed it❣❣ Thanks for the plastic bag tip, unfortunately I didn't know that😥😥 I've lost so many pets in my lifetime and I miss them all so so much. Stormy, Rain & Thunder my 3 cats will be my last. So hard😥
I have a question. I'm looking forward to getting on the road, myself. I have a little 5lb chihuahua and I was wondering if anyone has problems with hawks and rattlesnakes trying to get to small dogs or cats. What can be done to prevent attacks? My dad lives out in the country of Louisiana and when I bring "Rosita", he says the hawks will swoop down and get her, so I keep her right by me always when we are outside.
For the birds of prey put a bright colored sweater/shirt/jacket on her, whenever she's outside. The brighter, the better; neon green, hot pink, red; etc. As for rattlers the only effective thing is rattlesnake training for dogs.
Carolyn, are you not afraid of a rattlesnake biting her? It seems with as much digging and exploring she does, it's only a matter of time before she encounters one, no?
Wait! How do you do that? NYT only allows one….don’t give me some high tech download another browser, whatever answer. This old lady does not do high tech…😺
I love your adventures, point of view, and dog. It's refreshing to see a real person out there. Keep on trucking. ❤️

Yeah, Sadie is something else! Rainy days can be nice, even if not retired. :-) Hope you're well. hugs, C

I spent the years from 1974 to 1977 at Holloman F4S
This is what this should be in NM at least up north and geez with the fires and drought we need this.
I think I left my heart in New Mexico last week. I drove from Sekiu WA to Mercedes TX,,alone,, and New Mexico has my heart….omg Sadie cracks me up 😅
What beautiful pictures you took. Breath taking. I think these are some of your best pictures ever. Wow! Great job Carolyn. Hugs to you both
Those are amazing shots of the beauty you visited...Thanks for sharing.
You are one of my most admired women; you are so brave , fearless and ingenious. I love to watch your videos
Thank you you made my day...
I truly needed this .
I love the nature of the desert.
Me being 71 and with a bad right knee I can't do the long exploring outings.
Again thank you.
Nature never disappoints! So beautiful! Safe travels!!
Gorgeous views, those cactus needles are big enough to be toothpicks, love Sadie and her antics and your videos
My GOSH Carolyn your photography is gorgeous!! I will watch this again once my headache is gone.
It’s like you and Sadie are all. Alone in the world. Beautiful
thanks for showing the beauty ... I need to make a trip back there someday ....
We spent a week in Alamogordo at Oliver Lee SP three years ago. We loved it!!
Wow! So beautiful! LOVE LOVE your perspective!
Beautiful nature and area. At least I get to travel with you. Thanks.
I love how you enjoy the loveliness of nature! That would be what I'd enjoy so much about a nomadic life.
The pictures of the mountains need to be one of your pics for your 2023 calendar! I hope you still consider making a small little cookbook!
Yep the picture is already set aside for the calendar and the cookbook is in the works
It always amazes me how the "snow level line" is spot on! Snow to 4000' ....let"s draw a line!! '
My home town. I had tears from the beginning. So nice to see my home. I haven't been there in many many years. The weather was certainly not the norm!! Very cool episode! Thank you for sharing!
Those mountains are so Beautiful!
Can't wait to get out there and see some of that!...safe travels!

What a beautiful video of the desert. Colors were terrific!
This was such a relaxing video, thank you.
That meal looked so yummy made me hungry! Great video never get tired of the mountains thanks Carolyn ☮️❤️
Pretty the way the clouds hang down over the mountains.
Thank you for the fry pan cover idea. I'm going to use it in my camper.
Gee that's such a beautiful place and you're looking good too Carolyn.
Hope only snow and no hail . N.M. hail can get ft high and did for us in 1970s. Our metal roof on pop up had oodles of dents all over roof.It was our first trip in tent camper,our new to us, first camper with wheels. 👍Thank you so much for your great YT channel. AND THE WAY I SEE IT.🤗
Beautiful scenery for sure, glad you get lots of pics for the memories 👍.. Sadie definitely has a personality, love her expressions 😁.. be safe ..🙏🤗🥰
Thanks!

The view of the mountains with the fog is so pretty.
Misty magic mountains time forgot, cool and so pretty! almost expected a dino to jump down from them mountains and chase you an Sadie all the way back to the RV lol Shame shame take a backpack always with a first aide kit, some snacks and water : ) Awesome video ~*~
Great views. Thanks for that. 🧘🙏🌎☮️
Beautiful scenery!
New Mexico is beautiful.
Wow!! Those mountains look cool. Thanks for sharing.😊

Very cool!
I married there in '65 and we moved into northside mobile home park. Lot D12 ha! Not sure how I remember that!
The formations on those mountains are so unusual! Amazing!
Personally, I couldn't bear to have any of my pets remains disturbed in such a way. I would be devastated to know that had happened.
Sadie is so precious with those expressions and her antics. Bright eyed, shiny coat, gorgeous girl.

nice to visit ,,thanks for the vlog, Stay healthy and safe
That’s pretty cool, watching it snow in the desert 🌵
Cool video and cool music track! 🏜️
You find beauty everywhere in mother earth
I hope after the rain warm weather would be there so everything would bloom
Wordle! It's consumed my life. I wait until midnight, do the Wordle, then sleep like a baby. Beautiful weather!
Funny - I do it while I’m watching NPR Newshour at 6.
My dear I sometimes do Wordel in the middle of the night. I’m 85 and I’m not only into Wordel but now I do Canuckle.. It’s a Canadian version. Remotely related to Canada.

It certainly hasn’t helped me cut down on this thing. I can honestly say I don’t watch television that doesn’t mean I don’t watch anything. Lol
Now I want to make a big bowl of popcorn and sit and watch a movie.
I wish I could be able to be and go like you do ......I got a bad leg I can't walk on.... your so blessed...
Neri loves small drink/water bottles, they're her favorite toy. Just rinse, take off cap and hours of entertainment. Plus, they don't take up as much room in recycled can when she's finished 😁
Those views are definitely worth the mud.
Try smashing on with your foot and stick it in an old sock. Great game of fetch ensues!
@@cboyle707 She eats socks!!!!
Beautiful videography in the beginning! Wow, I would not mind being out there in landscapes like that!
Beautiful unique mountains.
Beautiful
Watching the lunar eclipse. So beautiful.
I was getting worried about you LoL!! Cheers! 😃
I’m in cassville arkansas. Cool day trout fishing and dog petting. It ain’t that cold here. Enjoy life.

Love you Cariolyn and Sadie girl
It is supposed to be about 85° next week near Asheboro North Carolina, but possibly Thunderstorms.
Ooh that landscape is beautiful. I can't wait to get back out west.
You'll never see this gun toting gal littering. Someone riding with me threw out a wrapper and I screeched to a halt and made them go pick it up. I said THE WORLD IS NOT YOUR TRASHCAN lol.
Sadie is just having the best life😊
Eventually you'll be fully retired from having to work and engage each new day exclusively, "how ya like." 🥰
Beautiful. Can't wait to head out that way sometime. When I saw your video, I assumed it was an older one but it was posted 10 hours ago! I can't believe there is snow right now because it's hot. Strangely enough, last night we had (MS gulf coast) very large hail! We never have that. Weird weather these days.
She might have held on to it for several months before posting.
Yes, it's a transition between the Sonoran and Mojave desert so with plants and animals from both ecosystems.
Yes ocotillo we don't have those in the Mojave Desert in California.
Sadie is adorable!
Maybe those metal bands/tubes left behind were set there for future use to be used to build a culvert to divert the water under the road so it doesn't wash out. Just spit-balling.
Very pretty there.
lol Sexy Sadie girl 🥰. Beautiful scenery…and snow! Wow!!
Love all your videos and Sadie too🥰🥰🥰. Question have you ever encounter something not to believe is from this planet? Many Blessings on your exploring 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Peanut butter, in the morning oatmeal, is my protein boost during breakfast.
Yay wordle. Meet too.
Hey! Just wanted to let you know that thumbnail of you is just beautiful ❤️!
Oh yes a high altitude if I remember it's been awhile.
Hi Carolyn hi pretty Sadie girl ⚘🐾⚘🐾This was such a COOL video❣❣Really enjoyed it❣❣ Thanks for the plastic bag tip, unfortunately I didn't know that😥😥 I've lost so many pets in my lifetime and I miss them all so so much. Stormy, Rain & Thunder my 3 cats will be my last. So hard😥
also put heavy rcks on top of the grave. .
From the hills, I think I know where you are - south of "Alamo" at the Oliver Lee State Park? Gorgeous place. Best wishes.

I totally get "Sucked in by Wordle'. I do 5 of them each day!!
Wait! How do you do that? NYT only allows one….don’t give me some high tech download another browser, whatever answer. This old lady does not do high tech…😺
maybe a white t shirt for sadie when walking in the hot sun. that black coat probably nurns her in the sun. a t shirt wouldn't e hot. just a thought
Oots must be water proof.. all the different textures on the mountain 😃
The New Mexico Gazetteer shows that is private land. There is an OHV area on BLM about 10 miles south on the west side of 54.
taco bowl looks super yummy
I hate crowded campers but they must feel much safer next to you. Whooppee.
I worry about flash floods and the mud making it too hard to get out!
