This place is wonderful. My favorite place to go for a little get away. Natural hot springs here is really therapeutic. Thank you for the review.
Glad you enjoyed it,.........this place was wonderful,.........and comes up in our discussions and thoughts many times a year. We also loved the area! Happy Thanksgiving.
......"Always worried that we might bore folks to death", (as you replied in the comments below).....NOT bored here, I am new to your channel about 2 months ago, and I look forward to your vlogs each week!! Thanks for the insight on the RV park in Bozeman. You and Sue are quite entertaining, stay safe.
Thanks for the kind comment Larry,......
Wow! What awesome scenery and views. We were supposed to be in Palm Springs right now but...
TONS of things to do and see in Palm Springs!
Hello Mark and Sue, from Ouray CO! We just returned home from 2 weeks of camping in Palm Springs. We loved it. We stayed at the KOA, which worked fine for us. But, I will try this place out the next time we go! Look very peaceful!
We went to look at the KOA. I am certain you will like this place better!
@Our Journey In Myles Hi there!! That is great!! I will definitely try out Catalina the next time we go there. My friend, Marc Guido , that runs the Grand Adventures Channel likes it there better too.
You have a great sense of humor, and a great outlook on life...I enjoy your channel more than most, I think it's because I too am fascinated with the details of things, especially the mechanical sort!
Wow, thank you Junior! We have a great drive video coming up next week. Hope you like it!
Loved the nice stroll around the park! Really shows off the place well and the hot spring pools just added to itch that Catalina RV Resort is a destination must for us! Thanks Mark & Sue for putting this video together and sharing the experience! Safe Travels Friends!
Glad you enjoyed it Ben! Hope Palm Springs as well as the rest of the US can start to open up a little again. We will start moving again once Sue gets vaccinated.
Hey Mark and Sue.... thanks for taking the time to share your wonderful adventures. I love visiting with you with each video. Be well! Bill
Our pleasure Bill! We have an AWESOME drive video next week!
A very relaxing video. Keep On Walking
Thank you, Peter, I will. Always worried that we might bore folks to death,......but sometimes you have to talk a lot to give all the info and to project a true feel of a place. Video with only music just doesn't tell the story. It is the easy way to do a review,......
This was a great video Mark. Thank you for showing the camp ground. I see why you like it. It’s very nice there. I would love to myself hop into a hot springs. Is that anything like a heated pool? It sounds like it. But not sure. Glad they have activities there. Thank you for this video. Looking forward to seeing seeing another video soon! Stay safe and safe travels.
Glad you enjoyed it Sherri. The large pool was perfectly mixed to be uniformly heated to about 89 degrees, during the day as well as during the dead of night. It never was too cold to swim because the water was so warm.
@@OurJourneyInMyles That’s warm but not too bad at all. I wouldn’t mind it Thank you Mark and Sue.
We woke up to -15 degrees in Iowa this am. Your RV resort looks fabulous and warm including the hot spring pool. My kind of place!
Wow! I think I would die if that happen to me again! Stay safe & stay warm Mick.
Mark as always excellent narration and review info on the awesome places Sue and you visit. You both certainly keep the dream alive andI look so forward to visiting some of these places. Thanks for sharing and you two stay safe👍
Thanks 👍Kevin! The dream is a little tougher this year. We are an older couple, so continuing to travel on our channel seemed too risky for this old goat. When Sue gets her vaccination we will still practice good safety tips, but will actually start "moving" the RV place to place again.
As always great video and thanks for sharing all this information with us! Stay safe and healthy! Safe travels!
Thanks for another check in Ramon!
Always a riot to go on a leisurely walk with the Chan Man! Surprised that the park was so EMPTY...
I think we were right on the edge of the start of the season, AND the fact that NO Canadians were going to be able to come down due to the border closing.
Thanks for the walk through the park. It looks like a beautiful location to hunker down for a few days.
It really is Robert! We should have planned better and stayed longer here and less time in Milwaukee, WI! We were hurrying to keep a Nov 1st 2020 "long term" reservation in CA.
@@OurJourneyInMyles You should consider a return visit when all of the activities and amenities are available........and COVID is just a bad memory. Stay safe and get that second vaccine!
Another great video. Nice park. The warm waters is very enticing. You both do a great job on these videos. We still don’t have an RV, but the end is in sight. Hope to buy later this year. Yes, a Newmar Dutch Star.
Thanks so much John! The Dutch Star is the best bang for the buck!
Mark and Sue, I really appreciate your videos, very fun keep up the good work!!!
Thanks, will do Tim!
Oh my how things have changed since you’ve been there! I made our reservations of January of 23 for our dates in 2024. I’m not sure how you get a better camping spot, I would think a year in advance we would get a better spot. We had reservations for January and February of this year and only stayed 4 nights. Maintenance could not get the Wi-Fi or cable tv to work our site, our space was very uneven and couldn’t put out our chairs for outdoors. The maintenance man told us to ask for another site, he was unable to repair the Wi-Fi and said the cable was a spectrum problem. We gave them 2 days to make it right and there were no other options. There were plenty of other nicer spots that were vacant 😩Upkeep is not a priority here. The homeless go through the camp at night and steel. There’s been a hole in the fence for a long time to try to keep them out that has not been repaired. Very poor management! Our neighbor said he’s been there for the last four years, and every year it gets worse, he won’t return either. There’s a different kind of clientele here. The only thing positive of our experience was Georgia in the office, she was great! I would not recommend this rv park to anyone. We found a much better place just down the road, Sky Valley Caliente Springs on Dillon Rd. All things happen for a reason! We’re very happy where we are now👏👏. Love your channel, you’ve taught me a lot 😁
Really sorry to hear that! We LOVED that place and still talk about it often. The hot spring pool was to die for. It was way cheaper than any other place around. We will make sure to read reviews before we go again. We are thinking maybe in late 2024 or early 2025?
What a grandMA! So happy for you!
Thanks Bill. Grandma is so happy to be with the little bundle. I feel slightly neglected.
Great review, Mark! Looks like a destination to me, and very reasonably price, especially with PA! Appreciate you guys!
Thanks for watching Foretraveler! When Passport America is accepted it always feels like Christmas!
Looks like a nice big Campground
Yes,....this place is actually quite large!
I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now, it’s relaxing and enjoyable, I really appreciate the quality of videos you publish. I’m living vicariously through your videos. I’m in my mid-40s and I look forward to follow your path some day. I especially enjoy the scenery‘s you record of the places you visit. Keep up the good job and stay safe out there.
Thank you very much Joe! I wish I had been smart enough to discover RVing when I was younger and had more "life" in my body,bones and muscles!
@@OurJourneyInMyles Good advice!! Would love to start sooner than later..
Welcome to my beautiful city.
The Desert Hot Springs/Palm Springs area is a show stopper!
Hi Mark and Sue- We just flew down from Seattle to Houston and purchased a 2016 4369 DS with just under 5,000 miles on it and the layout is just like yours :-) It has been fun watching your video's so we could become familiar with the 4369....we are hooked on you guy's !!! keep up the good work !!! Cheers from Curt and Dahlia !!!
Very nice choice! You will have the fire escape door in the bathroom! I assume you will already have the front axle upgrade with the 315 front tires. (Don't know how many were made with the lower capacity front axle, before they were recalled.) You made the best choice for a used Newmar Dutch Star. Going to 2015 and below has NO fire escape door.
@@OurJourneyInMyles- Our coach was built mid 2016 and I verified that it has the 18,000 lb front axle and also all new tires...Love your video's and hope to catch up with you guys someday !!! Next thing on our list is what flat tow vehicle to get and I also want to install Li batteries and solar panels. We left the coach in Houston and will drive it up to South Dakota in a couple of months to pay the sales tax and become legal resediments...Your video on that issue was very informative. Once done with all that, we will drive it back here to Seattle....we will boat in the summer and head south in the winter :-) Thanks so much for what you guys do !!!
Man for some reason I keep getting videos about the desert in my recommended and its so weird to see so many people finding a town I've lived in my entire 18 years interesting and new lmao. Enjoy the valley.
Thanks Kyle!
Wow wow wow G video
👍
Nice name desert Hot Spring
Great place too!
Can’t wait to go back in May.
The weather will be awesome!
Looks nice there!!! 😊😊😊
Very much so TP!
Nice recovery mark, when you have to and want to listen to your wife lol
You got that right! Pulled the rabbit out of the ole hat before it was too late.
Bozeman has pull thru's ! We'll put that on our list! Thanks!
Good choice! The pools and general atmosphere at the spa is awesome.
So have ya been there on a WINDY day? lol!! Cheers!!
Yes! And on those days we stayed in the rig & worked on editing videos!
Wish they had pull thru's!
Yes, I must admit that is always our first choice as well.
nice place because its empty! Not cheap to me! I am not a Big Shooter! Nice weather..its neg 9 degrees here!
We average about $43/night, year around. 30 x $43 = $1290/month (electric, water & trash included) Anything cheaper than that is a bargain! Right now, we are right outside LA for $1560/month. We consider it reasonable for the area,.....
@@OurJourneyInMyles and you dont have to shovel any snow!!!
Old bones are good bones! Too bad Sue was forced to toil in the TH-cam sweatshop while you walked the trailer park.
If folks knew the real truth behind the youtube sweatshop required for a channel to publish regularly, they would be dumbfounded why we do it!
can I ask how do you make money while traveling and being retired
We each have pensions, Mark takes his social security and we have 401K savings. We will have our budget video out in two weeks. Watch for it. It will be an eye opener!
@@OurJourneyInMyles I will thank you so much you guys are awesome and I can't wait to get out there and enjoy my journey
