  • As a campground host at a remotely located campground, it takes me about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to the closest town with any supplies. In this video we drive in to Meeker, Colorado to take a look around.
    *My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
    Thanks for watching!

    Wow how things change when you have not been back in a long time. Grew up there soon as I graduated I was gone. Just a very few relatives left. My grandmother used to work at the museum. I used to work at Clark’s when I was in high school. Thanks for the reminders.

    I really enjoy your camp hosting video's this summer, catching good fish helps to keep your food cost down and you cannot get fish any better tasting than that. 👍👍

    Hi Brian, Gosh I Love that area. So lush and green. Just breathtaking. Meeker seemed to be a nice little town with a nice lake and even a restaurant. It may be interesting to spend some time in the tent area and enjoy just relaxing at the park, eating breakfast out and doing some fishing before you move on. I'm happy that you get to eat some trout, that you've caught yourself. Oh, the little things in life! Thanks for sharing Brian, see you next time, Louise.

    I’m living up in Steamboat Springs and just drove through Meeker and was very impressed. It’s in a part of Colorado that hasn’t been overrun and hopefully won’t be.
    I spent the last 2 summers at Lake Powell in Utah and the nearest town was 3.5 hours away! I would have loved an hour drive!

Had 3 young kids & told them they had "really friendly police"😂 They told their dad when we got home & he said "how many tix did you get from the friendly police?". Life. Youth. Fast cars. Those were the days my friend 🎵

    With a minimum wage job, it's nice that you have the opportunity to fish for a meal to keep the budget within your budget. What a beautiful camp area. I'm glad you took on this job for the summer, sometimes a low key job is what you need to just calm the mind. The money isn't the answer, that will come to you at a later time when you are more ready to push yourself. Thank you sharing the lil town of Meeker. Take care.
