Because of you and a few others I took a big 10,000km solo trip across Canada. Camping 11/14 days. While I didn't see everything that I wanted, I know what to do for the next trip. It does get boring and repetitive sometimes. But once you finally get back home in your own bed... You just want to get back on the bike. Thanks.
So excited to see another video. Made my Friday for sure. I just still can't get over that wind in TX. That's just insane. 🤣I'd have to agree, Cloudcroft is a really cute little town. 👍🏻 Be safe, ride safe. 🏍
YOu are an inspiration. I just bought a bike after not having one for 20+years. I am looking forward to doing some moto camping. Although I only plan to go about an hour from home and camp a night or two you have still inspired me. My bike isn't fancy but I love it a 2003 BMW F650CS. I am going to get out there and "do the thing". The way you react to the moutains is how I react to seeing fresh bodies of water. I love lakes and riding by them. I bid you peace.
Awesome! And what a grueling ride in the winds of the south west. I have family all over NM and in Loving and Carlsbad. Cloud croft was our go to reprieve from the heat of the low lands and the caverns are the apple of Carlsbad, NM’s eye! I’m so glad you made time stop in all those areas! I’m worried for you now and pray your recovery goes well and that you come out of it with all your strength. Blessings to you Amanda!
When I was 15, my father (a private pilot and single engine airplane owner) and I too a 2 week vacation and flew across the country from Clearwater, FL to Oceanside, CA and back. One of the stops we made was to visit Carlsbad Caverns. We landed at a small airstrip just north of Whites City and walked into town to find a hotel. The owner/manager of the hotel loaned us his car the next morning to drive to the Caverns for the tour. It was a memorable stop on an epic journey with my dad. Thanks for the memories. 😘
So Happy to see this notification. Lovely adventure you had on this trip. Some highs and some lows but always moving forward. I am going to miss RMR 7 and that is sad. Hopefully Betty gets well soon and stays that way for a minute and I can see you next year at RMR 8. I did not know that lovely town existed but it is on the map now. Thank you Amanda for another part of this epic trip.
I missed that laugh!!! Hope you've gotten some rest and are in a better place!!! Man, I miss those Texas roads and places... Yeah, nothing like that wind, I fought a 50mph side wind for almost 100 miles last year in New Mexico, just outside of Roswell. That road had NOTHING on it... No houses, no stops, no gas, no towns, no trees, and no traffic. But me, the bike, and the cosmos. And that was enough. Had no idea about Cloudcroft or Hwy 82, have to check them out!
Those west Texas winds in the spring are the WORSTTTT. …not to mention how dull the Permian basin is to ride through 😅 Carlsbad is so cool and im so pumped you got to see it!!
Seeing all footage of Texas is making me very homesick. Anyway... I know what you mean about the wind taking it out of you. Glad you stayed for an extra day in Carlsbad to enjoy. The caverns are definatley worth seeing. And White Sands.... Amazing! Totally spoke to the nature lover and my inner geek. And yes, I did know about 82. Rode it in 2020 with my patents.
The Rockies are FABULOUS when you are in them and not on the interstate highways. I rode US 50 from Cincinnati, OH to the Pacific Ocean in Pacifica, CA in 2016. When I rode through the Rockies I called my wife and told her "If I don't get to go any further it was worth the trip." Just stunning. I'm happy you enjoyed your trip.
Well hello again!! Good to see you back, was beginning to wonder. Enchanted Rock is such a cool place. Kinda surprised you were able to get in. Wind in Texas?? Really?? Haven't noticed it in the last %* years of living here!! LOL!!! Carlsbad is some kinda wonderful isn't it?? If you ever find yourself back in Cloudcroft, check out Dusty Boots Motel & Cafe. Very awesome little local owned motel and even better cafe!!! And make sure you let them know your traveling on motorcycle for a good rate and close to room parking. And yes, i did know 82 was an awesome ride!! While you were in Carlsbad i was sitting here saying "Oh please Amanda, go North to Artesia then West on 82 to Cloudcroft!! You will love it!!!" So glad you did. Did you see the burrows walking around town?? I can also say the mountains do something for me, even tho imma flat lander from Texas. Does the soul good to be in the mountains especially on a motorcycle!!! Safe travels!!!!
Complimenti bello questo canale Brava per il viaggio Proverò anch'io però insella alla mountain-bike e riprenderò con la mia Go-Pro Ciao suluti da Milano ITALIA 🇮🇹 👏👏👏👏
Took my RoadKing across the Northern United States this summer as you did the Southern. I started & finished Montana. Could not agree with you MORE: give me mountains.
I missed about 2 months of your ride and it will take me a loooong time to catch up. Ive been on a ride of my own for the last two months is why! New to me Polaris Slingshot…. I didn’t know about Cloudcroft… sounds a bit like Brigadoon…. Here today and gone for the next hundred years. What I did know is that a 35MPH wind in Texas is considered a relatively calm day..🤣🤣🤣🤣. Ride safe Amanda, in todays gloom and doom news, watching you enjoy this great country makes me feel quite good.
Oh my gosh, you're SO much in my backyard, I can't tell you how many suggestions run through my thoughts of things that would interest you. Alas, it's part of the exploration and discovery. I have full faith that you'll be drawn back to AZ and NM in the future. I'd love to chat with you. Just so you know, I have been in all 48 and I can tell you the wind is always there, I guess so long as this beautiful blue ball maintains its orbit.......there will be wind. But I agree it does draw your strength. Loved the video!
Well also if you camp at white sands you have to pack everything in you can't park next to your site, my brother did it. Also when I went through the Backcountry camping was closed for rehabilitation
As for the wind at Monahans, that's kinda par for the course. Try it in a hammock strapped to the shade cover. WOOHOO!!! What a ride! Guadalupe Mts Natl Park just down the road the mountain sorta shields you from the wind but it is a lot more popular with campers than Monahans.
Great video, Amanda! So glad that you made it through Texas, again. You present some wonderful shots of your trip which makes the watching experience so nice for your viewers. Answer: Yes Cloudcroft is really neat and not far from home for me and my wife to visit. Ruidoso, NM is also a nice place to pass a few days.
"I will always be a mountain lady", . . ., "and I see hills with trees on them my heart feels so happy". You've been spoiled by living in the Pacific Northwest so long! Few areas can compare. Glad you had such a great day.
On this trip you showed us, your viewers that not everything goes as you plan them. Always save money to emergencies like this one. One of my fears is my bike breaking down. I'm scared of being stuck in the middle of no were. I have roadside assistance but having my Harley towed to the nearest Harley shop could cost me 1k just for the towing. That's a big pill to swallow. But we can't live our lives in fear. The reward is greater than not doing nothing. Thank you for inspiring me to go outside my comfort zone.
Thanks for this one! It was nice to see Carlsbad from a tourist perspective. I've read about the cave. Did you go into the 'big room' part? Years ago I was in Postojna cave in Slovenia where you take a small train for 7 miles into the thirteen mile cave! Best wishes for the rest of your trip!
I can't wait to hit the road and travel. You make it look so easy. I honestly enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait for your next video.
Love the videos! I live in Atlanta but just bought an old royal star venture to keep at my family’s place in Idaho. Looking forward to some mountain view rides when I visit soon!
Never heard of that town but it looks like it'd be fun to stop at. I love traveling the two lane highways you always find great little towns and a lot of them definitely have their own unique styles. You never know what you'll find when you go on a road trip. I found Estes Park Colorado on a road trip. Their fudge is the best and worst thing ever. That fudge has gotten me out of so much trouble with so many different women I've known LOL have fun stay safe
I would love to visit Carlsbad Caverns, but my mom loves to tell the story of visiting with me as a super young child and everyone was sitting around in the amphitheater quietly waiting for the bats at sunset and I supposedly did giant baby farts in the silence and everyone laughed. I'm scarred.
Hi Amanda, great video and scenery as always - keep them coming! How did you prepare and build your self up to do the mileage you cover on your motorcycle?
Do you ever get used to the wind can you block it out somehow do you get comfortable or atleast somewhat I remember riding when I pulled over it was all I could do to stay upright the wind was lifting small pebbles off the ground I have a problem figuring out when enough is enough maybe a 45 degree angle I dont know I had a perso tell me years back that the wind filled him with energy I still waiting to see it that way
Can confirm lol 100%. As someone that does intermittent fasting throughout the morning and meal shakes for lunch, when I am able to get real food, it changes the tone of the whole day.
Cloudcroft is great. Along with all the Lincoln National Forest. The ride from Cloudcroft to Alamogordo is a trip. A fifteen mile ride from an area that has you looking for Ewoks to come attacking from the trees to the open desert of Tatooine, looking out for Jawas and Sandpeople.
Nope. I did get to Carlsbad once but it was too late in the morning to get to go down into the lower cave complex but we did get to see the bats fly out in the evening. Have you ever been to Oregon caves it's pretty neat and smaller.
I spent years at WSU (eastern WA), and every trip home was a joy, crossing the Cascades - Trees, Green. I love the desert, but mountains & forests are hard to beat.
Endscreen question: No, I had no idea that place even existed. That's one thing I enjoy about your videos. Thanks for the enjoyment and I hope you're feeling better.
Amanda, Love the vlogs! Sub'd and T-up! I am going to be picking up my CB500 soon. Coming from the BMW world, chains are a mystery to me. The owners manual of most bikes say to lube chain ever 500 miles or so. If you don't mind.... Please, explain what you do to maintain the chain. I was thinking about using maxima wax chain lube. Seems to have great reviews. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
Totally depends on what you wanna do really. I probably only clean my chain every 1,000-1,500 miles, I keep a toothbrush and some chain lube in a tool tube on the bike and scrub it then lube it. I will note again that just because I do it that way does not mean you should do it that way or take my word over your manual.
A NEW VIDEO FROM AMANDA! YAY!! Gets me in the mood to start packing for RMR. Well, not that much, it's 9:30pm and I'm settled for the night. I'll pack Sunday.
I haven’t been to Carlsbad caverns and I didn’t know Cloudcraft existed. Both are on my list now! If you ever find yourself back in Kentucky make sure you hit Mammoth Cave national Park, that will blow your socks off too! How you feel about mountains and trees is how I feel when I return to Illinois and see corn and soy beans! That’s what you grew up with, and it makes you feel like home!
Mammoth Cave is great. Carter Caves SRP has some much smaller (relatively) caves, but they're beautiful. There's even a cave under Louisville with ZIPLINES. That said, now I need to add Carlsbad.
Ok I’m drinking wine and commenting on your videos as I watch. I know I should wait until the end before I comment, but it’s the wine talking. I don’t want to disagree with you but you are a Mountain Girl. Not a Mountain Lady. With your free spirit you will need to be 92 before you can refer to yourself as a Lady. I hope you don’t take that the wrong way. Yes you are a Lady but your spirit is a young girl. And no I have heard of Cloudcroft but I just put it on my list as a go to place
Great video Amanda! I haven't seen you in person since FA campout. Those winds are crazy. I bet you would have done better with sand/snow anchors and a trowel or small shovel to dig and set them. I almost never use mine because I am always in the easier places to camp, but sometimes they are absolutely necessary! Hope you make it to Sturgis, SD August 5th and the days thereafter to enjoy the biggest bike rally in the U.S. Stay well rested so you can travel safely. See you down the road Dudette!
Thanks!
Oh my goodness thank you James I really appreciate your support!
Because of you and a few others I took a big 10,000km solo trip across Canada. Camping 11/14 days. While I didn't see everything that I wanted, I know what to do for the next trip.

Super happy to see and hear you excited and positive again, it transfers across and lifts me, Thank you and keep on enjoying the journey
In this episode of Dune: Amanda Atreides braves the desert, testing her equipment, skill, and sanity...
Great Ride. New Mexico has always been on my radar to ride someday. Thanks for sharing this.
YOu are an inspiration. I just bought a bike after not having one for 20+years. I am looking forward to doing some moto camping.

Awesome video…it’s like you have an entire film crew with you. You are very talented!
Just a quick question. Where do you find the music for your videos? Amazing how what you pick just seems to fit the mood and vibe of what's going on.
Check the description 👍
Hay Amanda you mentioned hwy 82 did you know you can take 82 all the way from New Mexico to Georgia . Ride safe my friend .
lol good to know
Never heard of that town, but now it’s on my list. I’ve only blasted across New Mexico on Route 66, but I definitely want to explore more!
Seeing all footage of Texas is making me very homesick. Anyway... I know what you mean about the wind taking it out of you. Glad you stayed for an extra day in Carlsbad to enjoy. The caverns are definatley worth seeing. And White Sands.... Amazing! Totally spoke to the nature lover and my inner geek. And yes, I did know about 82. Rode it in 2020 with my patents.
Beautiful video. i've added Clondcraft, NM to my bucket list!! You're so amazing and inspirational!!!
The Rockies are FABULOUS when you are in them and not on the interstate highways. I rode US 50 from Cincinnati, OH to the Pacific Ocean in Pacifica, CA in 2016.

Can't wait for the next one. I've wanted to camp at White Sands for so long, but every time I go by it I don't have the time!
Well also if you camp at white sands you have to pack everything in you can't park next to your site, my brother did it. Also when I went through the Backcountry camping was closed for rehabilitation
@@AstheMagpieFlies Aye! I knew about the pack in. Also they close without much notice when doing missile testing, although I assume that isn't common.
A bad day in camp can always be improved with a good book. May I suggest Patrick McManus. You'll laugh in spite of your circumstances!
As for the wind at Monahans, that's kinda par for the course. Try it in a hammock strapped to the shade cover. WOOHOO!!! What a ride! Guadalupe Mts Natl Park just down the road the mountain sorta shields you from the wind but it is a lot more popular with campers than Monahans.

Answer: Yes Cloudcroft is really neat and not far from home for me and my wife to visit. Ruidoso, NM is also a nice place to pass a few days.
Try the pizza and brewery in Cloudcroft next time! 😁💖 I was next door on my Reservation. 😁
I taught at Texas Tech for ten years and yes, Cloudcroft and Ruidoso were great escapes from Lubbock.
I can’t wait to ride through NM to find all the cutest dang towns!!
"I will always be a mountain lady", . . ., "and I see hills with trees on them my heart feels so happy". You've been spoiled by living in the Pacific Northwest so long! Few areas can compare. Glad you had such a great day.
Howdy Doodie, Magie Flies,
Big country 🇺🇸 One may really get around. Watch u tube and see how much fun it is.

Honda should give you a free bike. Your putting the 500 through it's paces and so far so good. Great channel keep living the live.
Wow! That WIND!!!💨 I wouldn't have even tried to set up the tent in that. Always fun to watch you vids. ❤📷🏍💕
Thanks for this one! It was nice to see Carlsbad from a tourist perspective. I've read about the cave. Did you go into the 'big room' part? Years ago I was in Postojna cave in Slovenia where you take a small train for 7 miles into the thirteen mile cave! Best wishes for the rest of your trip!

Converts 30 degrees to Celcius - yikes indeed!! Plus I also like a bit of height in the structure of the landscape :-)
I would love to visit Carlsbad Caverns, but my mom loves to tell the story of visiting with me as a super young child and everyone was sitting around in the amphitheater quietly waiting for the bats at sunset and I supposedly did giant baby farts in the silence and everyone laughed. I'm scarred.
Hi Amanda, great video and scenery as always - keep them coming! How did you prepare and build your self up to do the mileage you cover on your motorcycle?
Another great video! Been to NM a few times and White Sands is just amazing…looking forward to seeing that video when you post
some of my earliest memories in that area. I was born in El Paso, Cloud Croft, Carlsbad and White Sands were our play grounds when I was a kid.
Carlsbad caverns was beautiful. I remember it as a little girl when I was there. Thank you sharing.
I had 60 mph winds on my way to Arkansas definitely the scariest thing I've experienced. Great video luv your journeys
I felt almost the same feelings when I accidentally discovered Cloudcroft and the surrounding mountains and trees. I could actually breathe up there!
Cloudcroft looked like such a cute little town. I love these videos. You happy mountain lady, you!
We have several Twisted Root burgers around Dallas area, and they are the bomb!
Here's a comment for the algorithm. Love what your doing by the way.
Do you ever get used to the wind can you block it out somehow do you get comfortable or atleast somewhat I remember riding when I pulled over it was all I could do to stay upright the wind was lifting small pebbles off the ground I have a problem figuring out when enough is enough maybe a 45 degree angle I dont know I had a perso tell me years back that the wind filled him with energy I still waiting to see it that way

Completely agree that mountains and forests comfort one's soul.
Wind is the WORST of all weather to deal with. You did better than me, I wouldn't have even tried to put my tent up in that sandy wind.
good stuff as always. riding into the wind is so hard some days. worse if it's a crosswind. Super 8 seems to be my go-to. why all the shade? 😉
Ah, your video was full of familiar sights and places.. loved it.
Nope. I did get to Carlsbad once but it was too late in the morning to get to go down into the lower cave complex but we did get to see the bats fly out in the evening. Have you ever been to Oregon caves it's pretty neat and smaller.
Hi Amanda, happy to see your brave trip. Good luck🤞
Awesome video Amanda, thanks for sharing it! 👍👍
The Cavern is worth going to more than once, just like the Grand Canyon. You can’t take it all in on one trip.
Very tempted to do a ride from Alberta to Cloudcroft lol, what a gorgeous little town!
God bless you honey. I enjoy your videos so much keep up the good work and be careful out there.
You will have to return to Carlsbad and walk down the trail into the caverns when you get a chance.
I always look forward to your work. Yes, food makes all my decisions better too.
I did not know, that did look like a fun little town and a great road. Hope you are fully recovered! Glad you are back.
I always enjoy your video's you are such an amazing young lady.
wow, I missed seen your video's glad you're back!
I spent years at WSU (eastern WA), and every trip home was a joy, crossing the Cascades - Trees, Green. I love the desert, but mountains & forests are hard to beat.
When in doubt, find food....words to travel by!
Just love watching your videos!
Lord have mercy those have to be the roughest camping areas ever
Thanks for the upload. I missed you.
I really enjoyed this one. Very nicely put together! :)
Love the video, really beautiful you&the video...
Ride safe road sister, you do good work and I wish you all the best.
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING YOUR ROUTE MOVING ON THE MAP!!!
Great content. Keep your smile shining!
thanks for this! adding cloudcraft to my tank list for when i go thru there
Endscreen question: No, I had no idea that place even existed. That's one thing I enjoy about your videos. Thanks for the enjoyment and I hope you're feeling better.
Thanks for taking me along. That was fun.
I love this channel - stay strong and never change
the wind is awesome....5000 miles away.
Use to hunt in the deer capital known as Llano!
Well done! Love the music in your videos too.
Amanda, Love the vlogs! Sub'd and T-up! I am going to be picking up my CB500 soon. Coming from the BMW world, chains are a mystery to me.

Nice going keep it up you’re excellent
Very nice Amanda 👍🏻👍🏻
A NEW VIDEO FROM AMANDA! YAY!! Gets me in the mood to start packing for RMR. Well, not that much, it's 9:30pm and I'm settled for the night. I'll pack Sunday.
Very excited!!
Absolutely love your videos….!
Beautiful country indeed!
Thanks for the great video
I haven’t been to Carlsbad caverns and I didn’t know Cloudcraft existed. Both are on my list now! If you ever find yourself back in Kentucky make sure you hit Mammoth Cave national Park, that will blow your socks off too!
How you feel about mountains and trees is how I feel when I return to Illinois and see corn and soy beans! That’s what you grew up with, and it makes you feel like home!
Mammoth Cave is great. Carter Caves SRP has some much smaller (relatively) caves, but they're beautiful. There's even a cave under Louisville with ZIPLINES. That said, now I need to add Carlsbad.
Good to see you in my area of this planet

I will not be at Sturgis. I will be at Rocky Mountain Roll. Lol much more my vibe, because ya know, I run it lol 🤣
Thanks so much for sharing.
