Van Life in Kentucky - Daniel Boone National Forest - 11/2020

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ย. 2020
  • One last hike in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky. Leaving our camp and heading towards McKee, Kentucky to find a camp in the Turkey Foot Recreation Area, a part of the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky. Kelly and I find a nice free camp and cook up our Thanksgiving feast. Hope everyone had a nice holiday. Thankful to have you all along for the ride!
    *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!

Water is pouring out of the pipe. This is the drinking water supply for the town of Nada. Everyone drives up the hill from Nada and fills their water jugs there. Enjoy your trip south!
