We see this all the time! people come and enjoy the beautiful area and leave trash.....we just dont get it? The worst is the weekend campers who leave human waste trash!! We are happy to do our small part!
Oh my God! Best place EVER!!! Absolutely blew my mind! Thank you so much for picking up the trash left behind by others. There's no respect for the land anymore. The river was beautiful with the crystal clear water! What a wonderful spot and a gorgeous area! I would love getting into the hot springs with those gorgeous waterfalls! Wish I could go to Idaho... Marilyn from Massachusetts. 👍👍👍👍👍😁
Glad you enjoyed it! Wasnt the river just gorgeous!! We didnt even get to fly over the river in the best light.... it was the most beautiful color and crystal clear!! Idaho is AMAZING!!
What an enchanting place you have found! So glad you took the effort to record it while there was no one there to spoil the beauty of it all. You make me long to get back to that area of Idaho.
Glad you enjoyed it!! we stopped by the night before and it was super crowded! We met some awesome people though!! we were surprised that we had the whole place to ourselves for hours!!
Our pleasure guys! It feels good to leave a nice clean hot spring behind.😀 We just cleaned up another hot spring today. I hope it's contagious and others will get the clean up bug.
Sometimes watching the stunning place you get to see I get a little sad because we are stuck here in London with all the problems in Brittian and the rest of Europe and not to able to see the beautiful parts of Britain and rest of Europe as all borders are closed due to the virus. Roodle makes me laugh he got you two we'll trained. Again a beautiful video and take care.
yes, roodle has us trained for sure.....the little brat! He was dropping that ball on purpose!! I am so excited to have you watching our channel from London. Europe seems to be in a much more stringent lockdown than we are here in the states. We are having a second wave and some states are starting to issue more strict rules. I miss the days without covid-19......hang in there!!
Fantastic! Litter Control example is most excellent. If only half of us took the effort that you two do to pick up litter the problem would be solved. Many hands make light work. Teenagers in their ignorance will always be with us, and so will the adult trolls. With a little education and examples like yours, the good people can make up for them by far.
Picking up litter is contagious.... we were picking up litter along a river bed in Oregon after a big holiday weekend and it was so encouraging to see people pitching in just because they saw us cleaning up. And yes sometimes the younger crowd leaves behind trash......unfortunately so do others. We are happy to do our part!
Great video guys!! Looked at lot different when we went there with all the snow ❄️ & We loved those springs so much but all the trash was a wicked bummer. We also had a full bag of trash we carried out. Awesome job guys! Can’t wait to see you again soon💚
I look forward to seeing what it looks like with snow! You guys are having great timing with the snow and hot springs! I will place a bet that you don't get snow at your next hot spring visit 😂 Roodle wants to know when you will be coming around again. 😀😀😀
I am in the process of watching ALL your videos (Starting from from your first youtube video). In doing this I noticed some photos of you Holding some Darn NICE fish. I did not know you were a fisherman. Fishing of coarse is going to be one of my passions I will be focusing on in VanLife! So I would just like to say NICE LOOKING FISH MAN! You are one of my favorite VanLifers I follow. I follow you mostly because you go to some incredible locations and you help us find the locations. The locations you often go to are off the beaten path (like your northern California boondocking areas). I'm sure I will never see another vanlifer visit many of the locations you show us! This is were you are better than all the rest out there! You two have mad skills at finding cool spots. Also your drone skills are amazing! and the photography is outstanding too! I watch for your videos every Saturday morning. Because what you do I felt the need to glean every bit of information I can from ALL your videos. I have been researching camping and activities location (Fishing Hiking, Rockhounding, mountains, wild life viewing.....). So I would just like to say THANK YOU! You are helping many people out there!!!!!! Roger The ExBassGuide
Thank you for all the compliments! We just stayed the night on a river in Idaho that has Yellowstone cutthroat trout in it. The water looked perfect for fishing. Nice deep holes with enough current to move the food right to the fish. It was pure torture! I wanted to fish badly. Unfortunately with us moving around from state to state so often and being on a very limited budget we can't afford to buy a license for every state I want 😂 You are going to have a blast fishing your way around while doing vanlife. Off the beaten path is definitely the way to do it. We are honored to have you as a subscriber! I hope we meet along the way somewhere, I would love to share some fish stories. 😀
Kari and Dave your adventures are wonderful and they keep me in uplifted Spirit while I do this big job I have going on at home... I am building a Bathroom out of cement but I’m making it look like a real rock and it has a cave shower! I watch your videos in the mornings before I go in there to work and I love to look at the colors of nature and the Hot Springs you go to! These special videos help me keep my connection with nature and the kind of people that I love to be with! Thank you so much for helping keep me inspired during this lonely job...
Another destination for my must see list. I'm with Dave on warm springs versus hot springs, lol. Roodle is lucky to have such caring parents and a ball rescue team😁. I looked into the Sumo springs, they look like a great product. Once I finish my conversion I may need a set on the front suspension. Another thumbs up for the video 👍👍👍
Hi J. G. Any Idea when you will finally be hitting the road? We look forward to the time when we get to meet you and hang out a bit. I hope your still planing on towing that Jeep with you. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime covid caused a 6 month delivery delay 🤬. I am hoping to have it finished by April. I will definitely be dragging the Jeep behind me. I look forward to meeting the 3 of you and hanging out. So many of the things are made in China 🤮 and I keep waiting for this or that part. I'm waiting for the batteries now. Take care and stay warm.
Hey guys! Wow, what a beautiful camping and adventuring spot! Sleeping among the trees by the river sounds so peaceful. Loved those hotsprings...all the pools, waterfalls and rocks. I would not want to leave. What a great way to spend a day. It definitely would have been extra pretty with snow. Great job picking up the garbage! Can't wait to see where you go next! 😀
I can see why, that river is beautiful! Add-in a hot spring and outstanding free camping and you have a real gem. What's your favorite thing to do in this area? What keeps you coming back for such a long time?
Sigh...we were in Sun Valley last summer for part of our summer vacation. Just 2 hours away from this gem! Didn't know about it and I'm kicking myself! Oh well, next time. Thanks for sharing this!
Eeerrrr brakes are on, hold the phone ☎️ , change of plans! Turn this rig around! too incredibly beautiful to pass this by! 💗 💗 Another superb Advanture! Videography is brilliant!
Wow! Such an awesome place! You guys always seem to find “another paradise”! Roodle looks like he’s happy too! Thanks for sharing! The drone shots were super! 🤙
We didn't even know that a natural hot waterfall was a thing! I think this is Carrie’s favorite hot spring yet. She likes the water super hot and that waterfall was way too hot for me. Now everytime we go to a hot spring we have to make up extra ball time with Roodle. He is not complaining either.🐕 🎾
Well I watched y'all on the big screen then have to get on my pc to give you a hands up and all that jazz! Love that "hot tub" LOL Hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving! Blessings
oh wow, such an awesome spot. We have never been to a hot spring. We definitely would like to check it out one day. Thanks for picking up the trash, we do the same when we are out on a hike. You are good people!!!
Hot springs and snow are my favorite Duo! I am happy to hear that you pick up trash also! We noticed people see us do it than they pick up trash also. It's a good kind if contagious 😂 We hope you get a chance to visit a natural hot spring at sometime. It's a memory you will not forget. 😀
Wow! Simply amazing spot! So happy that I stumbled upon your channel! Thanks for sharing with this new sub! Blessings and safe travels my new friends!❤️❤️
Welcome aboard! We usually do two videos a week. Wednesday is something van related and Sundays are our boondocking spots. We are a bit behind as we worked the sugar beet harvest in Montana for the month of october.
Yeah!!! I'm the first viewer! Over night security guard here. I picture me and my family there with you. You're all so nice for sharing your great experience. Spectacular camera work!
Thank you! We second that motion 😀 I think more people are traveling now than ever. We have been more busy picking up trash this year than ever before .
@@oneadVANtureatatime I believe they do indeed have many springs there. I always asks locals when passing though on my cycle and often they pass information on as where to go to find them. Geology is a hobby of mine and I often combine this into my research.
Are you serious? These places exist in the world? It’s amazing that you can stay for 14 days on a beautiful stream and only be 2 miles from those awesome hot springs. I’d prefer a little warmer then 22 degrees 😂 but it keeps the crowds away. Great video and such an awesome place. Thanks for picking up the trash ✌🏼
I know, right? We have ALWAYS be campers and we didn't even know about these free awesome spots. We are enjoying the cooler temps...NO BUGS!! and yes, a lot less people!!
Idaho looks lovely this time of year those freezing mornings be too much for me I'd be heading down south to Phionex Arizona to grab some free heat then head back up north in the spring but you seem happy to enjoy the snow like most Penguins :0)
Sounds great! Yeah we have been having a great time playing in the snow....I cannot remember the last time the day time temperatures were above freezing! We are currently in Utah headed south and excited about the day time temps...we are going to eventually end up in Arizona as well!
Unfortunately the fs is going to close this hot springs because of the garbage and over use ☹ thank you for being a great steward of the land . We appreciate it
Hope you got a chance to get to Twin Springs....its up above boise past Arrowrock dam. Pretty cool hotfall into a nice pool right off the road. Idaho is a better place for you guys visiting
Hi Patrick, Twin Springs sounds like just the kind of hot spring we love! We appreciate the tip and look forward to checking it out next chance we get. Idaho rock! Love this state. 😀
Drove right by there back in August 2019 on my way to Stanley. I'm not a hot springs person, so I didn't stop. Thanks for another great video. Campsite coordinates when you get a chance please.
I’m getting warmed up just watching y’all. Your videos make me see that AZ is so overrated as the only place to visit in Winter. It looks fantastic! I’m n Northern CA and I woke up to 38 degrees. I see the sun out there in Lowman but still says it’s n 20s 30s. I thought I was the only person who wore shorts n those temps😂Keep up the great work with one of the best and real content channels about Van Life off. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the view!! We love the cooler temps not that we have our Webasto heater. We are really limited when winter finally hits and dumps snow as our van is 2 Wheel drive and I have to admit camping in the winter with a dog is a lot harder when it comes to mud and snow everywhere inside the van. We will eventually end up in Arizona as it will be to hard to find boondocking when the winter snow falls. What part of Northern California are you from? We grew up in Alturas and lived in Redding for 16 years.
@@oneadVANtureatatime I’ve been n Los Gatos, CA for 40 years. Lived n same home for 38 but had to sell to care 4 my late husband who fell 2 Alzheimer’s. My neighbor, accross the street from Phil & I all those years, has graciously provided her 2 acre land fit me to use as a home base. I have electrical hook up to my shore power but I like to remain as independent as possible so I only use 4 my Dometic when I’m parked. Also, want to know my limitations with my 400 watt solar set up. Due to some health issues & C19 I’m only taking small/short trips. I watch your videos 4 inspiration and info. on great places to go. I love that you share. Many you tubers are more secretive about their “finds”. I kinda get it but I’m with the share and share alike crowd. I also love How good you are to your dog. You treat him like I treat my cat Toby. Who, by the way, really doesn’t like the Van situation. Luckily the owner of the estate I’m on is an animal lover. This is now his home but I keep trying. I think it’s hard 4 a cat to go from roaming 2 + acres (the home I sold was also 2 acres)to a tin can. But he’s a wonderful cat who Phil picked out from a rescue agency, and he’ll always b my cat; even if he chooses not to travel with me. Finally, your photography is amazing. I love photography but I am just not good. I’ll keep trying. Recently purchased a P1000 by Nikon. You can be a bad photographer like me and take amazing pics with this camera. I’m an avid birder and a wild animal lover so looking forward 2 more of that. Take care and thanks again 4 such fabulous content.
Hi Guys! New subbie here and loving your channel. Do you mind sharing what drone you guys use? Hubby is itching to buy one and we like the look of yours. Safe travels !
Thanks for subbing! This is our second drone....Our first drone was the Mavic Air, Dave had over 130 flight hours on that one!! It did a great job but we crashed it...lol We now have the Mavic Air 2 and love it just as much as the first one. The Mavic Air 2 has more flight time with is great for us. I would not recommend the Mavic Mini...our friend had one that had some issues....it would crash every time you hit the return home function and it was so small that sometimes the wind carried it away. All super easy to fly!
Love your videos guys! I would have never known about Idaho as a destination. Beautiful! Did you stay there the full 14 days? How many times did you go to the hot springs during your stay? Weather permitting, do you do an outside activity every day? How cold did it get at night? Is your heater working well? Can you bring biodegradable shampoo and use the hot springs as a shower? Lol. Lots of questions lol. I look forward to your videos each week. 😍
Idaho is AMAZING!! We only stayed at this spot a couple of days but usually we stay a week to 10 days. We visited this hotspring twice. Yes we do an outside activity everyday unless the weather is really nasty. Roodle helps keep us active for sure. The nighttime temperatures have been dropping down into the teens at night and barely breaking the freezing mark of 32 degrees in the day time.........the heater is working fantastic! No you cannot use any biodegradable shampoo or soaps in the hotsprings. Thank you for watching!!
Hi guys beautiful spot too cold for me ignorant people don't realize we can lose the privilege to stay there by leaving garbage thanks for respecting nature🤔♥️😃🚐👣🐾👣🌲🌵✌️👍
We agree! We just dont understand how you can go to a super cool area.....have a great time and then trash it? it makes no sense!! We are happy to do our part!
On another channel, I criticized the videographer for carving into a tree with a knife. He called me a "troll". Some people just don't get it, including the people who leave trash. Carrie, you looked really happy in this video. Big smile.
Thank you, Jim! Yeah, I would not be impressed with someone carving into a live tree either! The fact that he put it on camera really shows how he has no respect for nature. Carrie says that Kirkham hot spring is her favorite so far! I only disagree because the waterfall was so hot I could not hang! 😂
Not necessarily. Soaking in the hot springs will keep them warm. A man once told me he sat in a sauna in Nova Scotia one winter night, then wrapped a towel around himself and walked outside back to the barracks. The temperature was 60 below zero, and he couldn't even feel it. When he arrived, he experienced the greatest glow.
We just picked up two more bags of trash here at meadow hot spring in Utah. I hope people will suck less when they see us picking up their trash. We finally got a good sunset tonight! Minus the trash these hot springs are awesome. Wish you guys were here to enjoy with us. 😀
awww no footage of Dave's head in the waterfall.... lol. Hey, I'm wondering if your skin smells like sulfur after your bath in the hot spring? Just curious.
He said it was too hot!! Yes, some hotsprings you do leave smelling like sulfur but the hotsprings that we have visited in Idaho have not had that sulfur smell!
Spectacular! I am getter closer to being on the road! I also dropped at pin, thank you for sharing!! 👍😘 I also hit 100 subs! 😂😂. Thank you for sharing! Stay safe! 👍🙏🏻😘🐾🐾
And they can get SUPERHOT, like no joke hot, but most of em are near springs or rivers so the pools are kinda adjustable, in a way, if you mess with the different flows
I'm a local to Boise and love the hotsprings all over our area... However, I am under the impression that ALL public access hotsprings are currently closed do to Covid19.
Hi Cory. Oregon did close their hot springs down for a time but Idaho has not from what we have researched. The pit toilets have the standard sign posted on the doors and are open to the public as well. This said we are choosing to go early in the morning when there are the fewest people around for our own safety and others as well.
Thank you for picking up after the morons that left bottles & cans. I sure could use this location for my back pain. Free hot water pools. You guys came up to my home town in the Adirondacks... next time let me know you can boondock on my property. Be safe.
Love that! Yes, we pick up trash at every boondocking site. Our future goals is to create a non-profit organization that will allow van/nomad get togethers where we can clean areas that are in desperate need of some help. Unfortunately the most trash we see in human waste and toilet paper (usually) and this is why we are huge advocates for having some sort of toilets in rigs....composting, cassette.... whatever it takes to get the job done.
Loved the video. I was just up in Idaho a couple of months ago, strolling slowly down hwy 93 and the Salmon River. I almost went over to hwy 21 but stayed on 93 and slipped into Nevada. Your video convinced me to come back and do more roaming around in Idaho. I'm going to check out hwy 21 next time. Thank you thank you !!!
" Clothing is not optional here, in fact you can be cited if caught nude". I intend to go west one day, I'll go to Oregon, where they cannot force me to wear a bikini.
Beautiful place! Thank you for cleaning up after the careless dirtbags who left their trash behind. I can’t even comprehend the mind of a person who could do this. It’s appalling and inexcusable. 🤬
Thank you for picking up trash. The gates closed are going to be the norm as assholes leave there remains behind due to their absolute arrogant attitude of it’s not my problem.
Thank you for picking up after others who don’t have the respect for the land. Beautiful place
Just a public service announcement to the litters. "HEY DIRTBAGS, PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF".
Crazy why people do that... Kudos to Dave and Carrie for packing it out.
We see this all the time! people come and enjoy the beautiful area and leave trash.....we just dont get it? The worst is the weekend campers who leave human waste trash!! We are happy to do our small part!
we just don't get it?
@@oneadVANtureatatime I'm on board! :)
Thank you very much for picking up trash at the hot spring! We always leave sites better than we find them. You two rock!!!!! David and Juanita

I know, right? We have ALWAYS be campers and we didn't even know about these free awesome spots. We are enjoying the cooler temps...NO BUGS!! and yes, a lot less people!!
Idaho looks lovely this time of year those freezing mornings be too much for me I'd be heading down south to Phionex Arizona to grab some free heat then head back up north in the spring but you seem happy to enjoy the snow like most Penguins :0)
Sounds great! Yeah we have been having a great time playing in the snow....I cannot remember the last time the day time temperatures were above freezing! We are currently in Utah headed south and excited about the day time temps...we are going to eventually end up in Arizona as well!
Amazing place! Enjoy your stay!
Thank you! 😃
Unfortunately the fs is going to close this hot springs because of the garbage and over use ☹ thank you for being a great steward of the land . We appreciate it
Hopefully the cleaning will become contagious and this gem will stay open. Our friends stopped by a couple of weeks later and also did a big cleanup.
Hope you got a chance to get to Twin Springs....its up above boise past Arrowrock dam. Pretty cool hotfall into a nice pool right off the road. Idaho is a better place for you guys visiting
Hi Patrick, Twin Springs sounds like just the kind of hot spring we love! We appreciate the tip and look forward to checking it out next chance we get. Idaho rock! Love this state. 😀
Drove right by there back in August 2019 on my way to Stanley. I'm not a hot springs person, so I didn't stop. Thanks for another great video. Campsite coordinates when you get a chance please.
+Ramblin' Ralph (44.0731908, -115.5089289).... but there were several options!!
Absolute perfect spot........My biggest pet peeve is people leaving trash behind!!!!
Beutifull place, thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching, Dina! We appreciate you. 😀
I’m getting warmed up just watching y’all. Your videos make me see that AZ is so overrated as the only place to visit in Winter. It looks fantastic! I’m n Northern CA and I woke up to 38 degrees. I see the sun out there in Lowman but still says it’s n 20s 30s. I thought I was the only person who wore shorts n those temps😂Keep up the great work with one of the best and real content channels about Van Life off. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the view!! We love the cooler temps not that we have our Webasto heater. We are really limited when winter finally hits and dumps snow as our van is 2 Wheel drive and I have to admit camping in the winter with a dog is a lot harder when it comes to mud and snow everywhere inside the van. We will eventually end up in Arizona as it will be to hard to find boondocking when the winter snow falls. What part of Northern California are you from? We grew up in Alturas and lived in Redding for 16 years.
@@oneadVANtureatatime I’ve been n Los Gatos, CA for 40 years. Lived n same home for 38 but had to sell to care 4 my late husband who fell 2 Alzheimer’s. My neighbor, accross the street from Phil & I all those years, has graciously provided her 2 acre land fit me to use as a home base. I have electrical hook up to my shore power but I like to remain as independent as possible so I only use 4 my Dometic when I’m parked. Also, want to know my limitations with my 400 watt solar set up. Due to some health issues & C19 I’m only taking small/short trips. I watch your videos 4 inspiration and info. on great places to go. I love that you share. Many you tubers are more secretive about their “finds”. I kinda get it but I’m with the share and share alike crowd. I also love How good you are to your dog. You treat him like I treat my cat Toby. Who, by the way, really doesn’t like the Van situation. Luckily the owner of the estate I’m on is an animal lover. This is now his home but I keep trying. I think it’s hard 4 a cat to go from roaming 2 + acres (the home I sold was also 2 acres)to a tin can. But he’s a wonderful cat who Phil picked out from a rescue agency, and he’ll always b my cat; even if he chooses not to travel with me. Finally, your photography is amazing. I love photography but I am just not good. I’ll keep trying. Recently purchased a P1000 by Nikon. You can be a bad photographer like me and take amazing pics with this camera. I’m an avid birder and a wild animal lover so looking forward 2 more of that. Take care and thanks again 4 such fabulous content.
Hi Guys! New subbie here and loving your channel. Do you mind sharing what drone you guys use? Hubby is itching to buy one and we like the look of yours. Safe travels !
Thanks for subbing! This is our second drone....Our first drone was the Mavic Air, Dave had over 130 flight hours on that one!! It did a great job but we crashed it...lol We now have the Mavic Air 2 and love it just as much as the first one. The Mavic Air 2 has more flight time with is great for us. I would not recommend the Mavic Mini...our friend had one that had some issues....it would crash every time you hit the return home function and it was so small that sometimes the wind carried it away. All super easy to fly!
@@oneadVANtureatatime Thanks so much for the advise. It is much appreciated . Looking forward to your next adVanture
Wow... how cool is THAT??!!
Thank you! 😀
Great campsite! Can we have the GPS cordinate of your campsite ? Thank you for sharing your adventure.
Boondocking coordinates 44.0731908, -115.5089289. There were many options to choose from along this highway... happy Boondocking
Thank you!
You guys couldn't look more content soaking among all that splendor. Very cool place.
You got that right!
Glad you saved roodles ball. Where can I find one like it.
I have seen them at Tractor supply and Pet Smart stores. 🐕🎾🎾🎾
Love your videos guys! I would have never known about Idaho as a destination. Beautiful! Did you stay there the full 14 days? How many times did you go to the hot springs during your stay? Weather permitting, do you do an outside activity every day? How cold did it get at night? Is your heater working well? Can you bring biodegradable shampoo and use the hot springs as a shower? Lol. Lots of questions lol. I look forward to your videos each week. 😍
Idaho is AMAZING!! We only stayed at this spot a couple of days but usually we stay a week to 10 days. We visited this hotspring twice. Yes we do an outside activity everyday unless the weather is really nasty. Roodle helps keep us active for sure. The nighttime temperatures have been dropping down into the teens at night and barely breaking the freezing mark of 32 degrees in the day time.........the heater is working fantastic! No you cannot use any biodegradable shampoo or soaps in the hotsprings. Thank you for watching!!
Thank you so much for responding! That is very cold! So glad the heater is working! Roodle is awesome! 😊🐶💕
That was awesome!
We love hot springs and free camping! 😀
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you!!
Hi guys beautiful spot too cold for me ignorant people don't realize we can lose the privilege to stay there by leaving garbage thanks for respecting nature🤔♥️😃🚐👣🐾👣🌲🌵✌️👍
We agree! We just dont understand how you can go to a super cool area.....have a great time and then trash it? it makes no sense!! We are happy to do our part!
SHE IS THE CHAMPION BALL SAVER.
Love your chanel.
Thank you! 😀
LOVE THOSE PONDEROSA PINES.
Lovely! Well filmed! Best Wishes for #2021 Travels!
thank you!! We are really hoping the canadian border opens to travel in 2021
I would love to stay there for 2 weeks.
On another channel, I criticized the videographer for carving into a tree with a knife. He called me a "troll". Some people just don't get it, including the people who leave trash. Carrie, you looked really happy in this video. Big smile.
Thank you, Jim! Yeah, I would not be impressed with someone carving into a live tree either! The fact that he put it on camera really shows how he has no respect for nature. Carrie says that Kirkham hot spring is her favorite so far! I only disagree because the waterfall was so hot I could not hang! 😂
Beautiful ✌💖
Thank you so much 😀
Another awesome video! 😊
Thanks again!
I HAVE A FEELING IT IS GOING TO BE A COLD WALK BACK TO THE VAN.
Not necessarily. Soaking in the hot springs will keep them warm. A man once told me he sat in a sauna in Nova Scotia one winter night, then wrapped a towel around himself and walked outside back to the barracks. The temperature was 60 below zero, and he couldn't even feel it. When he arrived, he experienced the greatest glow.
@@AuroraBoarder1 60 BELOW YOU SAY??? COULD NOT FEEL IT YOU SAY??? A GREAT GLOW YOU SAY????? YOU DON'T SAY!!
#leavenotrace
People suck, but this spot does not!!! Awesome find guys!
We just picked up two more bags of trash here at meadow hot spring in Utah. I hope people will suck less when they see us picking up their trash. We finally got a good sunset tonight! Minus the trash these hot springs are awesome. Wish you guys were here to enjoy with us. 😀
awww no footage of Dave's head in the waterfall.... lol. Hey, I'm wondering if your skin smells like sulfur after your bath in the hot spring? Just curious.
He said it was too hot!! Yes, some hotsprings you do leave smelling like sulfur but the hotsprings that we have visited in Idaho have not had that sulfur smell!
Your aunt julie and I need to do a road trip and meet up with you kids! Looks awesome I could soak all day!
Spectacular! I am getter closer to being on the road! I also dropped at pin, thank you for sharing!! 👍😘
I also hit 100 subs! 😂😂. Thank you for sharing! Stay safe! 👍🙏🏻😘🐾🐾
In terms of time how long does it take to find these spots?
What was the temps like?
Lou & Angie
There all over the place here, well worn paths to most of em:)
And they can get SUPERHOT, like no joke hot, but most of em are near springs or rivers so the pools are kinda adjustable, in a way, if you mess with the different flows
I'm a local to Boise and love the hotsprings all over our area...
However, I am under the impression that ALL public access hotsprings are currently closed do to Covid19.
Hi Cory. Oregon did close their hot springs down for a time but Idaho has not from what we have researched. The pit toilets have the standard sign posted on the doors and are open to the public as well. This said we are choosing to go early in the morning when there are the fewest people around for our own safety and others as well.
What do you guys use the rake for? Other than getting Roodles ball.
Hi Samuel! We use it to rake around fire rings, coals in the fire before we cook dinner, and to clean up campsites if there is trash around.
@@oneadVANtureatatime wow that's super cool!
I've been loving your videos! I'm about the join the nomad life.
Congratulations! Our only regret is that we didn't start this lifestyle sooner! You are going to love it! See you on the road!😀
I will be stopping there within the next few days
1 #LiveYourPassion Luv the interesting places you travel !! It’s so refreshing !! ❤️ 🌞🚐🇺🇸 #FindYourFreedom 🐾 Happy Dog Roodle !!
You find truly beautiful places! Have you ever soaked in the hot springs just before bedtime and a bellyful of s’mores?! Best sleep ever!
Yes! Boat Box hot spring just outside of Stanley is the perfect choice for a pre-bedtime soak. 😎 We did that 5 or 6 times. 😂
Thank you for picking up after the morons that left bottles & cans. I sure could use this location for my back pain. Free hot water pools. You guys came up to my home town in the Adirondacks... next time let me know you can boondock on my property. Be safe.
Dropped a pin...my wife says "This is my dream spot." Thankyou for picking up GARBAGE! We do too...AAA+++Boondocking etiquette!
Love that! Yes, we pick up trash at every boondocking site. Our future goals is to create a non-profit organization that will allow van/nomad get togethers where we can clean areas that are in desperate need of some help. Unfortunately the most trash we see in human waste and toilet paper (usually) and this is why we are huge advocates for having some sort of toilets in rigs....composting, cassette.... whatever it takes to get the job done.
Idaho has more hot springs than Oregon and Washington combined. That's just one reason I lived here since 1968.
We have heard the same! Most people are not aware of that and that's probably a good thing. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime Bingo.
Thanks for picking up the trash
We are happy to do our part!! But.....more needs to be done!
Very nice of you to pick up that trash on your way out 👍🏼
They are talking about closing access down to this hot springs due to trash 😢 Hopefully our clean up efforts will become contagious 😎
Loved the video. I was just up in Idaho a couple of months ago, strolling slowly down hwy 93 and the Salmon River. I almost went over to hwy 21 but stayed on 93 and slipped into Nevada. Your video convinced me to come back and do more roaming around in Idaho. I'm going to check out hwy 21 next time. Thank you thank you !!!
we loved the whole area!
" Clothing is not optional here, in fact you can be cited if caught nude". I intend to go west one day, I'll go to Oregon, where they cannot force me to wear a bikini.
Really they make you ware clothes, it's a hot springs for goodness sakes! Here in nevada they are clothing optional.
Many hotsprings in Idaho are indeed clothing optional. This one is located across from Hwy21, and therefore more restricted.
@@chukarcory74 Thank you for the information.
Beautiful place! Thank you for cleaning up after the careless dirtbags who left their trash behind. I can’t even comprehend the mind of a person who could do this. It’s appalling and inexcusable. 🤬
класс 😊 ❤
it's stunning place, can you give me the location, GPS coordination, so I can get there . thanks
Boondocking coordinates 44.0731908, -115.5089289. There were many options to choose from!!
YOU DO NOT SEE VAN LIFERS CARRYING A YARD LEAF RACK AROUND MUCH.
Thank you for picking up trash. The gates closed are going to be the norm as assholes leave there remains behind due to their absolute arrogant attitude of it’s not my problem.
The misadVANtures of Roodle the doodle!
he really has us trained!!
Kudos for gathering trash.
THANK YOU! we are happy to do our part!
