Carolyn, I am sure you have already heard about the 3 men in Baja who were shot in the head by what the DA says was cartel or just being robbed by some Mexicans. But I was just thinking about you being out there a few weeks ago and saying how safe it was. They are actually advising the all tourists avoid the area because of kidnappings and killings. I’m sad because I was planning on that being my first trip in my van 🚐 in August! Ugh! These were three big guys and they tried to fight them off but lost that battle. It’s so so sad. There’s actually a big protest today about the safety of Baja now. So please be safe. ❤❤❤
And I read that they tried to fight off the killers from stealing their truck, but after they were shot the truck was found burned….so what the hell did they lose their lives for….
Terrible sad story and it’s scary times … I think I’d def avoid Mexico
It was terrible sad 2 Australian brothers from Perth. So heartbreaking for the parents.
I wouldn’t go there now no way!!!
It’s almost that bad in the US. But, they where alone out there. Easier for Robbers.
My dog, Holly, got her lab results. It’s benign. Don’t know if you saw my other comment on last week’s video. She is doing better than ever since her dental stuff.
I was 70 did this drive 2 years ago by myself going to CO. Pulling a 23 ft trailer. Was a beautiful drive thankfully. Stayed in a great Koa campground . I still look back OMG I can not believe I got thru that. NO MANS LAND. LOVED IT
Hi there.
I have watched you for many yrs.i live in BC Canada.i have a 1994 winnebago brave I just love it.I have a hubby but he was a trucker so he doesn't want to travel with me. I have cebral palsy but I can walk and drive it
Amazing how you push past the ones that don't feel right and nail such kewl camp spots. Thumbs up!
Yep... I do it a lot. It has to feel just right! Thanks for watching bobby!
Wow, what an environment! Spectacular, to be sure. Hope you're doing well out there. Again as always, thanks for taking us along!
Carolyn you have the most wonderful life!
I also use blocks to level.....that is such a good idea to have the bubbles where you can see them from inside. I'm usually a pretty good judge of how many blocks I'll need where, but occasionally, I have given up and moved to another spot.
I've done that too!
The one, and only pioneer of women RV'ers still going! Wow! Keep it up! I'm still proud of you after all these years.
Maria with Roaming Reckless has been traveling the US since 2016 ..
Some remember The Alamo... I remember the EPOCH Baja Sand Pit. 😱
lol!!!! OMG.. me too, unfortunately
Great video! I really enjoyed watching the camp search process and the leveling tips, tricks! You looked like a real confident boss woman figuring it all out by yourself! You are a great role model for others!! Thank you!!
I followed you from the beginning, but I just want to let you know that I enjoy these new videos so much more than the original how to videos I love these day in the life. I like the longer extended version the way they’re filmed a shout out I’ve liko all your videos, but I really enjoy these so take care. I love your political views the whole shebang, take safe travel Gina
They named that road exactly what it is. I remember the days we drove from Calif to Michigan and saw many many lonely roads
Hi Carolyn, I really have learned a lot from you. Thanks so much for all your hard work! 🥰
Nice video , lots of awesome scenery. Beautiful camping spot but you sure had to work for it to get level. Yes I have to admit that your Pizza looked real good! Safe travels to you and Sadie. 👍
Hi Richard, Yes, it was an awesome spot. I actually cut quite a bit of the process of leveling out to not bore you all to death. LOL. Eventually I got level enough to enjoy the spot.
Yes the pizza was pretty good!!
I am headed to Utah in a couple days from Texas. We are RVing, can't wait!!!!
Those butterflies were elegant
I love long handled squeegee too!!
I. Wouldn't. Trust. Anything. I. Would. Reylie. On. Myself. For. What. Would. Be. Safe. For. Anmails. Or. Kids. Mostly. Because. Weather. Changes. Are. Bad. Now. And. Days
My Google home just set a timer for 8 minutes, thanks Carolyn! 😂😂😂
Enjoyed your video, btw! ☺️
I know Sadie had a limp that went away, a sign of Lyme disease. Has she been tested for this? Thanks for sharing your experiences. 🐕🐾🐕
Follow your gut instinct girl.. be safe first and foremost ♥️🦅
Long handle squeegees are great! 🙌
Need them even for a Sprinter Van, so I ended up buying my own after awhile!! It is an awesome one that extends out giving it 5'7" long!!
@@HannaloreJohnson that's awesome! Heck ya. Makes it so much easier. I didn't know you'd need one on a sprinter too! They def don't have enough of them out. Thanks for sharing
@carolynsRVLIFE if something inside of you tells you something is wrong, that is your conscience.listen to your conscience.❤
Hello Carolyn drive safe, I see your videos.Nice traveling GOD bless you.❤
Thanks!
Thank you so much 💓 💗 💛!
Looked for the Sunday video too. Nothing. Now it’s Wednesday. Hope all is fine.
Carolyn, Hiding in some soda pop alternatives are ingredients that compete with iodine for binding sites on our cells...thereby affecting our thyroid hormone functioning. I can't name names online, but I felt a lot better when I stopped drinking these sparkling beverages. Take good care ❤ Liz, PhD (neuropsychology and endocrinology).
I love travel days! It’s a great glimpse into RV life. We also get to see how you find camp and then set up!Some times it’s nice to see the living in the RV part and not just the great adventures! ❤
Do you know how many 8 minute timers you started with this video?
😂😂😂
❤ Wow.. That drive is so beautiful!!! Much Love!!! ❤
When crossing into Indiana on 50 into Vincennes the George Rogers Clark memorial is nearby, The Red Skelton Museum is also close. Take highway 41 south into Evansville, btw, 41 is part of the Dixie Highway that runs from Michigan to Florida. Evansville was a supplier of LST's during WWII, take a tour of an LST while here and visit the Evansville Wartime Museum. A League Of Their Own was filmed in Evansville and surrounding cities. I could show you my baseball glove with the stars autographs. There are some fruit and veg stand here in town also. Depending on when you get to southern Indiana watermelon and cantaloupe are available from the fields. Stay safe.
I am sure there is something you can put on the window in case someone wouldn’t think you left Sadie in a hot car. Some people may call the police if they thought that she was in danger. Just a thought.
Beautiful area, those mountains, oh my goodness so beautiful! That pizza looked yummy! Safe travels to you and Ms Sadie!!! 😃👍
I have found that if you put a pizza stone in your RV oven. You get a much more even cook.
Wow that’s my type of camp spot, absolutely beautifull
Nice find. I see it was in the region of the Great Basin National Park.
That is correct
Have you seen the TH-cams about you by Linescrew1? What has he got against you?
Is that your Ex husband (Maybe?).
Geez he certainly has a bad case of angst against you. His posts are not kind at all maybe TH-cam will scratch all of his negativity.
ex-husband? Give Carolyn some credit. I'm sure even as a druggy she wouldn't have touched that lunatic with a 10 foot pole. He's just a psychotic obsessed fan who has been stalking her for years. All her friendlies have reported him, probably thousands of times.
WOW!!♥ What a View!! Those mountains were Amazing!!
Enjoy your secluded campsite!
that's one of the advantages for people who have a dirt bike or e-bike they can park it and go look for a site without worrying about getting stuck out there. Adventurevanman has found some truly amazing spots wandering on his little dirt bike. The last RV oven I had I had to always cook everything 25 degrees less than the directions as well as rotate.
Great episode as always,showing your real self,real life and the awesome beauty of nature in the American west.
I have been to Eloy by the way a number of times,it truly is a great little biggest town in the area.
And a lifesaver,as I had a repair breakdown just when I got there one time,no one else able to do it for over 200 miles.
Yea, me and Google don’t get along. Google tells me ‘turn left’ ……and there IS no left, or turn left or right and it’s the opposite. Grrrr. When I’m in the city and not pulling anything, it’s just irritating, but when I’m pulling my 30 ft TRAILER behind me, it can be quite scary….with no place to turn around or back up. So yea, me no trust Mr/Miss/Ms/They/Them…..whatever Google.
I was with Carolyn in my dream last night. Just driving around. Weird. Had to share. Not lying either.
A adventure for sure ! If anyone can make things work … you will … beautiful campsite for sure . Having your beautiful Sadie w/ you has to be a real plus !! 😇Enjoy and stay safe …. Pizza 🍕 looked great !!!
New Sub here! Love your video!
Well hello Carolyn
What a surprise
Forgot it was Sunday 😂
Loved this episode, as usual! Always look forward to a new video every week!
P.S. I keep a pizza stone in my RV oven at all times….helps mine to keep the temp even.
Hi Carolyn, great maneuvering on those roads. That's the one thing I worry about boondocking. My class c is 27 feet and crappie roads. I guess I could do a 100 point turn around 🤷 😂lol. Blessed travels always. Thanks again for your videos
Hi from BC Canada.I enjoy your videos. You are a very positive person.
Many times I've used 4x6 board pieces to level, my fav is the Anderson leveler, also I've used rocks! (I'll post the photo)
When you finished leveling the rig, Did you notice the SNAKE in the bush you filmed ?
That was funny, I don't care who you are. -- That's is one of the catch phrases from Larry the Cable Guy.
Well, like your other fans I hope to see you someday, I know I won't, but I am less than seventy miles north of Salt Lake City. Probably about as close as I will ever be. By next week I will have been a year in this lifestyle. Your videos have been very helpful. I do still have a lot to learn.
Wow what. Beautiful drive!
Just had to say yay! Always happy to see a new video of yours Carolyn. Subscribed to your page a few weeks ago n have watched many of your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Looking forward to your next video. God Bless you ❤
As always… I enjoyed this video. You take the time always to make us feel we are on a vacation. Good blessings too you and Sadie girl😊
Awww❤ always Carolina. You spire me
Hello Carolyn, been watching for years - rarely comment. I’m always behind on video’s… I live in Salt Lake and always wanted to meet you. I’m sure you are miles away from Sale Lake. I retired last year and satellite out from my house in a Roadtrek van with two small dogs. I grew up camping and doing road trips with family. It has always been in my blood. Now I get to go as I please. I am loving retirement. Enjoy your drive through Utah it is a beautiful state.
Kelly
Glad I know the trouble with the windshield, I thought my eyes were going. Lol. I noticed it right away.
Makes me wanna get in my minivan and go somewhere❤😅
Another great video. I was saying no when you put your mail in the blue box. They have been saying those aren't being picked up. Hope your mail gets where it's supposed to. Safe travels.
Carolyn, is the rear window broken out?
No.
I saw the curtain flying out the back window while she was closing up camp also. I just figured she had her window open for that great breeze. 😃
@@katebriggs9301
I thought those back windows were sealed.
It looks like she has those towels taped there.
@@sapphiresword139 could be! lol I thought they were curtains!
My back window is the emergency exit. It's not sealed and there were no towels and no tape. just the curtain blowing in the breeze.
I’ve been following you for a long time. I lost you at one time when I got hacked but I am back subscribed with you now. I so admire you and REALLY ENJOY watching your videos. Thx
Hi Carolyn, I loved the videos of Mexico with you and your friends. Beautiful scenery. I really like your videos and I like the longer videos! Stay safe and take care!!!Jodi
Next gas stop....Wendover, as you will be missing Wells....your trip sure brings back memories. Be cautious walking out in the middle of nowhere as there are rattlesnakes and no close hospitals.
Your dog, Sadie, reminds me of my daughters service dog, Blaze. He is a rescue found on side of the road in Tennessee I believe. We live in South St Paul, MN. Warrior dog rescue brought Blaze up to MN. She just went to play and socialize with puppies. Blaze picked her out!! She wasnt looking to adopt at the time. She went back a week later and he picked her again!!! She adopted him! He is so into my daughter and helps when needed.
Sadie could be a relative!! Same ears and coloring!
I swear, I don't know how you do it. Que cajones!
You'd get better mileage if you used premium. Probably 10-11mpg.
Why couldn't you take your LEVEL and put it on the ground to see where it is level instead of parking the RV over and over to get the RV level????? I would have thought well that area is not level lets move over to where the camera is and see if that is more level
Question: will just leveling one side that high over time hurt your axal? Mine is sometimes off about 1 bubble of being level and i say good enough lol But I have never been somewhere this uneven wow so just had to ask 😂 thankful to anyone who might answer
Ely was a great town to visit 😀 we went through there in 2016 enjoyed the murals and some of the best Chinese takeout food ever
I thought i watched a video a while ago , of you saying you are a vegetarian/vegan?
Did you change??
What a great video. I really enjoyed it. There were some beautiful views on that road. You chose a really nice camp spot. Looking forward to watching this trip. Safe travels Carolyn!👍😊
Great western music!!! Its like a clint eastwood movie..
Great spot to spend a few days. I hope I will be as successful at developing that travel sense once I hit the road.
Thank you for another wonderful video, loved it so much !
Thanks, Carolyn, another great video.
Love the scenery looks amazing
Wonderful woman to do that trip. Hi from ireland.
28:10 My phone just set a timer for eight minutes!😊
I know you intend to keep your RV for a very long time, however what type of RV would interest you if you were to make another purchase? Purely hypothetical
If I didn't win the lottery, I'd honestly buy the exact same RV. I love my Itasca, It's a great rig
@@CarolynsRVLife That's seriously why I bought my 24' Class C - you make it look do-able!!
Fyi u have evidence u mailed them by video taping it fyi
Dry long day for Sadie. 25:33
I like this kind of video. So interesting.
I am really enjoying your travels😊
I wish I have some of that cold weather, it was 104 degrees here today..Brutal 😂 Enjoyed the video
Where was it that hot? Asia?
@@Serenityfor1 Mexico

Your plastic blocks are an upgrade from my 2" x 8" wood blocks in assorted lenghts, makes a pyramid to level. I've never boon docked, I blame hollywood and desert slasher movies....
Yummy Daiya pizza is my favourite gluten free pizza, I'm planning on a camping trip this summer and you give wonderful tips and tricks on your videos :)
Beautiful area!
Hello Carolyn hope you're fine with you're pretty Sadie amazing video
You are amazing
You might want to consider doing a security block (it’s called something like that) where no new credit cards, etc can be opened in your name. If someone stole your tax returns/SSN/info out of the mail. It might be called a credit freeze (?)
great adventure ! shivering black bell thumbs up and hearts!
Certainly don't like driving tall vehicles in the wind!
