My mom always said she didn’t trust anyone who didn’t love dogs. You guys have a wonderful dog. God bless.
Thank you! Roodle is the star of our show. 😀😀🐕
Liked the music, and the burros .
Thank you! Those burros were so cute! That was a rear treat. 😀
I love your videos and photos and your sweet funny dog. 🐩
Thanks for your kindness, Roodle would high five you if you were here 😃
The table looks pretty to me!😍
Thank you Nita! Carrie sanded down the ridges a bit and put a clear coat on it. I hope she keeps it 😃
Roodle is so cute wearing the shoes. Love Cary's photo so much, absolutely stunning 👍👍
Thank you! Roodle has had those shoes for years now and I think he likes them 😂
Wild donkeys!!! I can't wait to see them in person. Arizona is my soul place. I've never been, but that's where I'm most exciting about going. Thanks for the views. Loooove your pooch.
oneAdVANture videos could be Discovery Channel reality show programs-both educational and entertaining.
Thank you! Carrie just keeps getting better at editing these videos. Maybe someday she will get an exciting offer 😀😀😀 That sunset was truly amazing!
Omg your painting is beautiful! Looks like a picture from space from the space station!! Great job sweetheart
Thank you Marc! It is fitting into the van decode well. 😀
I loved this one! So beautiful!
Thank you, Cheri! Carrie did a nice job fitting the music to the scenes. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime She did a wonderful job!
Welcome. Looks like you were at Darby Well. I live in Why for the winter.
I love your drone footage.
And all your music.
Yes Darby Well! I can see why you like it here in the winter! What a fantastic place to experience. Thank you for your kindness and for watching our video 😃
Once again amazing pictures.Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Lori! That sunset was amazing 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime it's funny another couple I watch on TH-cam released a video today. It's the same place yours is about. Two different perspectives of the same area. If you get the time watch it. It's the getaway couple.
Thank you for showing these guys, Carrie and I are watching their video now 😀 We like their thumbnail already.
Beautiful video. The symphony / spaghetti western music was awesome. Ruddle song is a keeper. Thank you for sharing. Table looks great, but may need a clear paint top to smoothit out. 🤷♂️. Thank you.
Thank you Nick! Carrie has been saving this music just for this video camping among the cactus 🌵 You nailed it on the table that is just what Carrie did. We love Roodles jingle! Thank you for your kind comment 😃
Thank you
I love your van. We need one like that.
Thank you, Reb! 80 k miles and over two years. We still love this van and lifestyle 😃
He'll show you it all if you throw him the ball! How talented your friends are! Thank you for another enjoyable watch!
Caroline and Gab did such a wonderful job on Roodles song! This journey has truly been about the amazing people we meet😃
It's about time Roodle got his own theme song. With his fancy haircut and specialty backpack, everyone knows he's no ordinary dog.
Roodle is finally getting the respect he deserves 😂 Caroline and Gabe are awesome! So kind of them to make Roodle his own jingle 😎
Great as always! Loved the Roodle song and the game night.
Caroline and Gab did such a great job on Roodles song! I miss these guys already 😃
Great video good job

Thank you, Andrea! We are picking up Patrons and subscribers faster than ever now. This is pretty exciting for us after the amount of time and effort it's beginning to pay off! We might be able to stay on the road and continue exploring this awesome planet! 😀😀😀
love Love LOVE the little birds perched on top of the spire at 6:11 ! So cute! Thanks again for another great video!
Those birds were hard for me to see when flying the drone 😂 I look forward to getting a better look someday on a big screen tv 😃
Beautiful video love the information.
Gorgeous desert location. Thank you for sharing! 70 sounds so lovely! Love doodles boots! I hope my dog keeps them on in the desert 🌵
Roodle does pretty good about keeping his shoes on. We hear some dogs just won’t have it 😂
Love the soundtrack. I was waiting for Clint Eastwood to jump out from behind a cactus at any moment. Great video thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 😂 Carrie has been saving this music just for this video with the cactus 🌵 😃
Me too! Perfect choice.
Love your musical choice for your video! Great video as usual guys! Van on!
Thank you! Carrie has been waiting to use that music and this place was the perfect fit 😎
Oh now that's one big beautiful wall. 😁
Your work on the wood looks out this world. Just beautiful !
Loved the video with the Western style music. Wishing you two many more subscribers.I am enjoying watching your older videos along with the new ones.Thanks for sharing your travels with us.
Thank you Alok! Carrie has been saving this western music just for this video among the cactus 🌵 We appreciate you going back and watching our older videos. We seem to be growing faster most recently 😃
Wow! Such a beautiful place! Love the song for Roodle. The table came out nice! Looking forward to your next video.
Caroline and Gabe were so kind to make Roodle his own song! Caroline has a wonderful voice. We miss these guys badly. Thank you for your kind words on Carrie's table! We needed a little more personality in our van design and it works well. 😀
LOL LOVE the Roodle theme song! So perfect!
Wonderful scenery. I liked the music in the first 5 minutes too, although my money's on the Roodle song to make the Top 40.
Awesome! We love Roodles theme song! Carrie has been saving the western music just for this video in the cactus. 😂
And this is where my journey with you began. My brother and sister live in Ajo and I'll be returning in Oct. this year to spend part of the winter there. I love Ajo.
Beautiful❣️❣️❣️🌵🌵🌵🌵❣️❣️❣️
Thank you, Bren! 😃
Love the Roodle song, and I am a fan of how the board turned out.
Caroline and Gab did a fantastic job on Roodles song! Thank you for your kindness! 😃
This was one of our places to camp. Looks like a lot of people there. Absolutely beautiful! 🌵
Great video
Thank you, Sandra! We are loving this lifestyle 😀
😍 Wow! Beautiful. I love Roodle’s song! Your friends did an amazing job 🙌🏽🙌🏽😊
Thank you for your kind words Mystical! I miss these guys already. It really is about the people you meet along the way😃
@@oneadVANtureatatime You’re welcome!! 😊❤️
Great video, I hope to tour that area at night by Jeep with 2 or more vehicles. Videos I have watched show a lot more wildlife at night. I have several of my family and friends watching your channel. Congratulations 👏 on the growth, you have earned it.
Always a thumbs up 👍
We are sure you are right about the wildlife coming out at night around here . Roodle was smelling the air and barking in the middle of the night. Thank you, J G! We are starting to get many more views recently! It feels great 👍🏼 😃
Very cinematic music!
Thank you for touring Ajo for us. Heading there for some February Boondocking!
The Ballad Of Roodle! It's gonna be a hit. Spaghetti western music just perfect for the locale. Your sunset close was magnificent.
Thank you Tod! We love your kind words. It was the perfect western setting. Carrie saved the music just for this video among the cactus 🌵
Thanks for sharing the journey, Many Thanks, safe travels. On my list.
Thank you, We hope to see you on the road😃
Great time lapse video.
Thank you! We keep catching these amazing cloud watching days . I love this lifestyle! Stay safe and warm 😃
Loved the music. Great video. Wonderful photography
Carrie has been saving that music just for this video among the cactus 🌵 Thank you for your kindness 😃😃😃
Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
Thank you Dave 😃
By the way Carrie, the table looks amazing!😊
Thank you! 😂
@@oneadVANtureatatime You’re welcome! ☺️
Great video loved the location. I thought you did a great job with your first time at rattle can art. Always love the roodle time. The photos were awesome especially the sunsets. HAPPY TRAILS
Thank you Dan! Carrie ended up sanding down the table to take the ridges out and then clear coating it. I think she should keep it 😃 We are in Texas now and the snow did follow us again 😂
Hey guys! What a wonderful video! I love the style. The music, perfect. Really enjoyed the drone footage too. Omg, the Roodle song. That was super awesome! The cactus history was fascinating. Carrie...that painting is super awesome. I really like it. The border wall, now that was interesting. So glad you are picking up more subscribers and patrons! So cool! Love the goal. You can and will do it! Looks like you lost the snow. Happy traveling east!!!😀💗
Thank you Lynda! We headed East after this video and the snow found us again! 😃😂 We are currently in Texas but it feels like Idaho .
Have fun
Beautiful Arizona!!
Incredible footage and production. You guys are getting better and better every episode. 👍
Thank you! This is one of those amazing places that made for an easy fun video 😃
Perfect desert music!!! Excellent video as always! Thank you!
Carrie has been saving this music just for this location in the Cactus 🌵 😃
@@oneadVANtureatatime Very well played Carrie!!! Congratulations!
So funny the dog shoes...but I bet they feel good on his feet. Beautiful place there your at.. Is it hot during the day? And cold during the night?
I would say warm during the day and cool at night. At least when we were there. I would not go there in the summer, way to hot 🥵 Roodle likes the shoes, he has had them for 4 years now 😂
Howdy from Tucson! Yes, our Sonoran desert is truly a special place. Nice video! 👍
Enjoyed your video! I was born and lived in Ajo. I haven't been there in awhile. Enjoyed seeing the 3 peaked mountain in the background. I know it well. And it brought back memories.😊
Enjoyed the video...looks like a beautiful place
Thank you for your kindness 😃
Hey Guys - we just found your channel. Really enjoying it! We took your advice and spent a couple days outside Ajo and had a ball. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. We went further out past Darby Well. Could not believe how quiet it was. Full moon was spectacular, almost as bright as day light. We subscribed and have added you to our list of "Must Watch TH-camrs"!
Thank you for subscribing! We are happy to hear you went to Ajo and enjoyed it. We are hoping people will have as much fun as we do. Very cool to catch the full moon there! Did you hear any owls at night? Plus the military exercises were fun to watch. We miss that place already. 😂 We hope to meet you on the road sometime. 😀
Your videos are getting better and better. Really enjoyed that one!
Thank you! Carrie has been working hard on the editing and appreciates your kind words 😃
Very wow! Must go!
Thank you guys! 😃
Fabulous photography, as usual! You guys are the best!
Thank you Joyce! We love comments like this 😃
A gorgeous video. Your choice of music is perfect. Especially loved the Roodle part. Was that Caroline singing? It was beautiful. Looking forward to the next one. 🇨🇦
That sure was Caroline signing! Those guys are both so talented and fun to be around. You should see how excited Roodle gets when he hears their diesel truck pull up 😃😃😃
As usual great drone footage, also love the uses of the spaghetti western music, expected to see Clint Eastwood any time. Keep up the good work, stay safe and well.
Thank you Jim! Carrie has been saving that music just for a desert cactus 🌵 video like this one😃
That table is fantastic. I love it.
Definitely adding this place to our "must see destinations." Thanks for sharing! Love the table and as usual, love Roodle and all your adventures! Safe travels!!
I'm with you...adding it to my list as well! Looks like an awesome area to visit. 👍
Thank you for your kind words! You will love this location..just not in the summer😂
NICE
Spectacular sunset!
Wow! The wall is real!
The lights are lit when there is a trespasser and a camera clicks on too.
You do wonderful work, always interesting and great photography, deserve lots and lots of subscribers. Loved Roodles star performance! Glad the snow didn't follow you this time😀
Thank you! We did catch a short break from the snow! We appreciate your kind words, thank you. 😃
Oh my gosh you guys did such a beautiful job of Photography Drone footage and great conversation I think I have I subscribed to probably 40 TH-camrs you were in my top 5 No Doubt I think you won't have any problem reaching your goal I love it because you were just being yourself and rutile is just too cool thank you so much for being an Americans
Thank you so much for your kindness, Dan! We have a great time showing off these amazing lands. We are honored to be in your top 5 . You put a big smile on our faces from this comment. 😃😃😃
Nice. I saw lex and riot go to center of the world monument recently.thanks y'all.
Dont you worry about rattlers out there with Roodle he cracks me up with his ball
Lol! He loves playing ball more than anything. One happy dog he is😂
Reminds me that we need to get back to the area. So much more to explore!! Safe travels East.
Thank you, Ric! We were very impressed with southern Arizona and look forward to going back as well.
Thought I was in a Clint Eastwood western there for a minute...
This comment made my day
Carrie has been saving this music just for this video among the cactus 🌵 😂😂
_I was going to write the same thing!_
I was feeling the urge to chew a black cigarillo, myself...
@@richardmourdock2719 lol
What a great place! We're still building out our shuttle bus and starting to think of places to boondock. Definitely adding this to our list.
A shuttle bus sounds awesome to convert! Thank you for watching our channel, we love to share this amazing land. 😀
Nice video.
Thank you 😊
Very nice episode. Loved the drone footage and the music. I was expecting Clint Eastwood to come riding up for a visit!
Yep...same here.
Thank you George! Carrie has been saving this music just for this video 😂
Really enjoy your channel. My girlfriend and I are hoping to get on the road ourselves soon. I am about a year away from retiring and we are putting things together for a cargo trailer/ vehicle conversion. Your content of hiking, nature, and exploring not so crowded places while boondocking is our vicarious anticipation builder for this adventure hopefully soon to come.
I love that they get out and away from people. I am always up for getting away from it all!
We love off the beaten path exploring! I think converting a cargo trailer is a fantastic idea! You will be able to make it custom to fit your needs without spending piles of cash for something that is made cheaply. Thank you so much for your kind words. We are excited for you to hit the road. 😃
Harika.👍
Came back to this video again! I remembered that you made a video of this area and that I decided I had to see for myself.
Soooo I am on my way! Me and my dog Ivan!
Thank you so much for sharing your Advantures and your appreciation for beautiful places and Rooooooodle the Golden Doodle 🥰
Carrie just shared your picture! We are so excited you are there! We hope you have a great time and catch an epic sunset. If you get a chance check out Organ Pipe National Monument, it's a fun loop drive. 😀
Looks really nice--your table! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for your kind words on the Table! 😃
THANK YOU! Great video♡
Thank you Kandy! We appreciate your kindness 😃
Love love this video. Thanks for sharing your work. Come next January we are heading to AZ with our doodle, Bailey. Oh the table was beautiful on camera. Great job. Stay safe.
You are going to love Arizona in January. We would love to see you there and let our dogs play together 😃🐕🐕
I loved the song about Roodle! Very cute! Great video guys, thanks for sharing! Safe travels!
Thank you! Roodle even loves his new theme song, especially when someone sings to him. 😀
Beautiful video. It's really nice seeing other parts of the country I'd otherwise never see. Seeing the wall was very interesting... Thank you for sharing that. Roodle was cute with his shoes on... What a good dog! Enjoy the warmth, it's freezing here in Massachusetts. Safe travels. 👍👍👍👍👍😁
Thank you! I bet it is freezing there in Mass! 🥶❄️ I smile and laugh every time Roodle first walks around with his shoes 😂😂 Stay safe and warm 😃
LOVE LOVE THE MUSIC, PERFECT!
I love cactus💖🌵🌵Oh the beautiful desert!! Clouds!!! Saguaro in the Sunset💖 The table looks like a pic from space of stormy weather!!!! Ohhh Roodle💖 Wow, the Organ Pipe Cactus!!! Loved the info about them...thank you💖 I took my 8 yr old to the Wall on a Southwest road trip summer 2020👍 Great opportunity to discuss borders, etc💖 As usual, your filming & Still shots are outstanding💖
Carrie has been waiting to us that western music, this place felt like we were in a western movie 😂 Your trip sounds like it was fun, How many kids get to get out and explore nowadays. I love your comment, you are so very kind! We need a 1000 more just like you. Thank you and keep safe 😂
@@oneadVANtureatatime
Me and my 8 year old GRANDDAUGHTER on the road for 8 weeks this past summer!!! Oh what a blast!! Route 66, Oatman as, Grand Canyon, Meteor Crator, Colorado River to Lake Havasu, and oh so much more...over 3000 miles of the beautiful Southwest. I promised her at least 1 national park every summer. She soaked up all that history and beauty, I think she got my adventure spirit💖💖
You three are such a joy!! I so enjoy Carrie's photos and the filming is top-notch beautimus!! Satisfied my hunger to be on the road. I am doing a Reno on a 1964 Traveleze 18' travel Trailer this year to get back on the road🤗💖 Happy Trails to you🤠
Fantastic job yall! Your videos are very well done. Always fun and informative! Safe travels!
Thank you 😊
I totally used to live there when I was a kid!!!
Right on! I can name so many reasons to like this area. We look forward to going back. Thank you for watching and commenting Stay safe 😃
Aw, Roodle has his own song! Lol.
I know Right! Roodle is becoming quite the star 💫 Caroline and Gabe were so kind to make this jingle! Roodle loves when people sing to him 😂
Great episode. You got us really considering a trip out that way. Thanks.
Thank you James! We keep finding ourselves in Arizona every January. 😃
Looks like the universe,your paint job!I would have done a map
Great video. I loved your choice of music and your scenery shots were beautiful. And not to forget, the table you painted was beautiful.
Thank you! Carrie gets credit for all three. I will let her know about your kind words! 😃
Recently finished sailing around the world with SV Delos. Looking for a new adventure and found you! Watched all the episodes to the present and am now inspired to explore the USA. Thanks for keeping us entertained during the pandemic. We love Roodle, but the mowhawk is not as flattering on him as the lion cut. Next time you shave Roodle and Dave, return them to the old look!
I'm trying to catch up on all of the episodes as well. That's a lot...But it's fun to see!
That must have been an amazing adventure sailing around the world! I wanted to do that as well but Carrie gets the worst kind of sea sickness. We are honored to have you watching our Chanel and would love to share stories someday. We hope to see you on the road 😃 oh and I miss the lion cut as well 😂
A HUGE thank you to Gabe & Caroline for composing the Roodle jingle. If you would like to show them some love...head over to their website and purchase Roodles jingle. wonderouslyfe.com/shop/ols/products/the-roodle-song
Roodle has always let me put these boots on him. They are expensive and why they don’t come in a 4 pack.... I don’t know 🤷♀️ they have saved Roodles feet countless times.

Hi guys beautiful scenery especially all the cactus what app did you use for that unreal cheap shower enjoy guys😃👣🐾👣🌵🌲👍✌️
Hi Mark! IOverlander hooked us up with those 50 cent showers! I wish we could find one right now here in Texas 😊 Most of the water is shut off state wide.
What a beautiful place! This is valuable information. Much appreciated! We are adding this to our must see destinations!!
Nice! That's what we want to hear. We hope you have the most enjoyable time possible 😀😀😀
looks really awesome
We loved this location, thank you 😊
I love this , you guys are so real and so much fun to watch ! thank you !
Thank you, Jean. 😀
For the table, the design looks cool, but I'd guess you don't like how the texture turned out, and why you said it was a disaster. If so, I'd suggest sanding it down a bit to smooth out some of the texture, then using epoxy or something similar to put a clear coat on it,t hat you can make as translucent and smooth as you want.
Also, I thought I recognized the people in the truck camper you were playing cards with, as I've seen their youtube vids as well, if they're the people I think they are.
Lastly, I dug the explanation and footage of of he local flora and fauna. I appreciate the biology lesson, as though I knew a bit about cacti, I did not know the details, especially in regards tot he saguaro lifecycle.
Thank you for the advice on Carries table! I think that’s what she will do.. sound it down a bit and clear coat it. We miss Caroline and Gabe! So cool you have seen their channel! They are very talented and fun to spend time with. 😃
Arizona so beautiful. Also Southern Utah.
I completely agree! On both accounts 😃
