STICKERS!!!! a sticker made with the van and the Northern Lights behind it!!!! I want one!!!! Carrie, you're the World's Greatest Photographer!!!
+Sam Iam definitely!!! I’m on it!
+Sam Iam we were also talking about updating our business cards…. Well everything with that image😃
@@oneadVANtureatatime OMG, you need your own Art Gallery Pull Behind Trailer!!!😎
I took a snap shot of it and made it my screen saver on my phone. Awesome pics Carrie.
The wind! That's why we only spent a season in Nebraska - wind, tornados, and either blistering heat or bone-breaking cold... Welcome back, y'all!
Thank you, Amy! It's been tough to get the drone up! So many of the days are windy just like you experienced 😂
Once again you didn’t disappoint with a wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing. Enjoy these times of your life. They are much shorter than you think. I have spent a lifetime camping and exploring as much as possible. Having the love of your life to share it with makes it that much more wonderful.
May God richly bless you both.
I know I sound hokey but the shots of the northern lights just made me tear up. SO GLAD you got to see this.
I was hokey right along with you!
Very cool. Saw them 40 years ago in B.C. Canada. That night has haunted me since.
Related: be sure to catch a full-eclipse of the sun (April 8, 2024, put it on your calendar, head to Austin).
You are both such a blessing. You prove there's still peace and beauty just when we need it. The time lapse was beautiful.
Dave wasn't the only one getting nervous when you got so close to that edge!!! Holy Cows my stomach jumps up to my throat everytime you do that! I kept thinking that wind was going to just sweep you over
You made me nervous walking around the cliffs. South Dakota is very beautiful and an unsung destination. Thank you for sharing the lights and your recovery area after the beet harvest.
Hi Larry. We agree about South Dakota being an unsung destination! That's just the locations we love the most.
Fantastic Northern lights. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, Janice! What a treat for the first camp back. 😎
What an incredible return to the road. That time lapse was pure magic!
OMG the northern light was awesome...very colorful. Well done 👏 ✔ 👍
It was incredible, we would have never predicted that event in South Dakota 😎
Oh man, what a dream come true. Glad sweet people get to be so lucky!
Thank you, Tracey! 😀
I’m with Dave, no edges. What a spot. Great find.
Glad you guys survived the harvest. Missed the three of you.
Those northern lights look amazing.
If you could only email that soup, yummy. Loved the northern lights Timelapse…
Absolutely gorgeous with the Northern lights as a bonus! Thanks so much!
Thank you, Pat! We got a real special treat that we will never forget! 😀
😎👍 So envious of your good fortune seeing the Northern Lights!
Glad you are back on your adVANture! rest up...
Fantastic show ! What a beautiful camp site. So glad your back making videos.
Wow what a gem.
😋 oh that soup looked so good. Loved the Northern Lights! I hope you lounged around in the van and got some good rest up time! 😴 take care😊👍🏻🐕🚐🍲🤗
I'm so glad you got to see the Northern Lights! It was cloudy here (where we are in Idaho), so we missed them this time. But, they are so cool to get to see!!!! Its the kind of thing you'll never forget. Oh, by the way, loved the stew you showed. We'll have to try that. Thanks for another great episode!
Thank you, Cheri! We could have not asked for a better place to recover from the beet harvest and even got a light show. That stew is yummy! I hope you get a chance to try it. It is the season for a hot stew. 😎
Wow. Double wow what a spot. Carrie the timelapse was beautiful excellent job. Definitely keeping this spot on our list. KEEP ON LIVING THE DREAM. HAPPY TRAILS
We watch a lot of TH-cam. You 3 are a real joy to watch! Love your channel!
Thank you so much! We love and appreciate your kindness. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
The shots of the northern lights were phenomenal! Great find!! So happy to see y’all back on the road 🤗
Thank you! That was an awesome experience to start back the journey. 😀
Absolutely great video. South Dakota is fantastic. It's beautiful all along the west border. I will remember this for for a Sturgis excursion next year. Great photography and cooking , Carrie. So happy to wake up to this on Saturday. Being a patrion for your channel is a pleasure. You two are a blessing. Welcome back on the road. Thank you.
Thank you, Dennis! I hope you two get a chance to camp at this one. You can walk in any direction here and find something awesome! We are so honored to have you as a Patron. We were talking today about our favorite location in Colorado and we both agree it is Silver Jack! We are so happy we got to meet you two in person. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
so great to see you guys again. you look so happy and I was smiling throughout the whole video. great video with the music and the drone and the suspenseful cliffs (carrie!). AND The Northern Lights!! wow!! great time-lapse. (also on my bucket list) great campsite. ENJOY & RELAX.
Thank you! What an awesome treat on the first camp back. We would have never expected to see the Northern Lights in South Dakota! It feels great to be back. 😎
So glad you were able to see the Northern Lights! They were forecast in the upper U.S. two nights in a row due to a bad solar storm. Wind and cliffs scare me - I'm very heavy but I was almost blown over the edge of the rim trail at Brice Canyon. Best to stay several feet away because you never know when a strong gust will hit you.
Thanks for telling us about that campground. What a beautiful view from the cliff edge. And the northern lights, on my bucket list too, that purple-pink band with the green band -- amazing.
That was the perfect spot for us to recover from the beet harvest and we even got a light show! You are very welcome! We love this job. 😀
Calendars 📅, I ordered 3 of them.......
Welcome back, you have been missed, 23,000 subscribers and growing 👏👏👏.
I love cliffs and rocks, this is going on my must visit list 👍.
The northern lights are amazing, I haven't seen them since 1971😱.
Great video as always 👍
Absolutely love how genuine you both are. You guys always bring a smile to my face and i love how you guys find all these boondocking sites that are just so incredible. Like come on, northern lights in South Dakota? Leave it to you two to make it happen. I can feel the aura around you just by watching your videos. Im always put at ease traveling the country with you. Dont ever change. My plan is to travel the country like you guys by first landing a freelance position somewhere that will enable me to do so. I have been taking some Salesforce classes so i can remotely work on computer anywhere, also getting into photograpy more especially photos with perspectives. I like to have the viewer come up with their own conclusion on what they are seeing. Anywho, keep on making me 😊
So beautiful. And great review as always. Been missing you on Saturday mornings.
Thank you, Susan! That is good to hear. It feels so great to be back at home on our public lands. 😎
Love South Dakota there is definitely a positive energy there! Loved the Northern Lights! Congrats on year three! One of the best videos from y'all! Keep on truckin'!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic shots of the Aurora Borealis. Such a nice campsite. Great spot after the beet harvest.
Thank you, Dorothy! That was a delightful location to recharge and enjoy the light show. 😎
The Northern Lights...Amazing
Thank you! 😀
Yay!!! It is so great to have you back. What an awesome location and camping area. It really does seem like a little oasis on the plains. Drone footage was beautiful. I loved the closeups of Roodle. So happy that he gets to run around after being cooped up during the harvest. I have to admit that my knees were getting weak when Carrie was walking up to that edge of the cliff. Yikes!! Your soup looked amazing!! I always enjoy when you share your recipes. The time lapse of the northern lights turned out AMAZING!! We also could have viewed them from our house, but we didn't know of the possibility. Darn the luck for us. Watching your time lapse makes me feel like I didn't miss out. Welcome back to your home on the road!! Travel safe...
Its great to be back!!! Roodle was SO HAPPY to be able to run all around! He put on a few beet harvest pounds...lol It seems we have been camping on the edge of cliffs now for weeks. We just found and AMAZING spot in Utah. Glad you enjoyed the timelapse.....and to think I almost did not get my camera out!!!
I love that primitive camp stove they built. Very cool
Weren't those cool! I regret not cooking from one of them. I could have at least made pancakes. 😎
Thanks for sharing my favorite spot! I frequent the spot often, I live down in the prairie about 30 miles from there and I love love! One of my favorite things is the way the pines smell. It's a great place for rest and relaxation so enjoy, I know you've worked hard for the beet harvest!
Right on Krystal! You live in an awesome area! I love how peaceful it is. The smell of the pine trees are great! It's hard to find a location this nice that's not overcrowded with people. A true treasure!
That soup looked delicious. TFS. Hugs to Ruddle.
The soup was awesome! More soups to come this winter season. ❄️😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime I’m looking forward to them.
So beautiful!
The time lapse. Breath taking! It looks like CGI. The 2 shooting stars or light sources across the sky were truly amazing. Thank you for taking the time to capture this for all of us to enjoy!
Mark(& Teresa)
Thank you! it was truly magical.....and to think I almost did not get my camera out!
@@oneadVANtureatatime ❤
Beautiful! Thank you for taking us on the trip! Looks like you might have some contenders for next year’s calendar! I never expected anywhere in SD to be so beautiful. We’ll certainly get there someday!
Mr. Baker the Black Hills and western South Dakota are the reason Custer had to go at the Little Big Horn. One can understand why the Sioux and others were angry. May we all get the chance to find peace like Dave and Carrie and Rudel.
Just like Dennis said, that western edge of South Dakota is amazing! 😎
Wow! What a great campsite! My dog would go after the ball as well. Thanks for sharing this awesome place 😀
What a beautiful place! You are living my dream❤️ I hope some day to travel and experience this beauty in person. In the meantime, I will continue to watch your videos and live vicariously through your camera lens. Roodle is adorable .
Me too…
We are honored to have you following us! It's so much fun to share these amazing lands. We are excited for you to get on the road and have as much fun as we are having!
Wow. I've always wanted to see the northern lights. That's so beautiful.
What a special treat! I would have never guessed we would see the Northern Lights in South Dakota 😎
Oh my goodness!! So much to say! Ok first, those cliffs are beautiful but YIKES! Reminds me exactly of Acton Recreational Area (free) camping outside of Billings, Montana. You must check it out someday. (we have a video on it) Secondly, so glad you're done with the Beet Harvest and Dave got his drone back. Lastly, WOW on the northern lights! What a cool extra blessing! Yummy soup too....
Wonderful video. So glad you have the beet harvest behind you. The time-lapse northern light sequence was inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are quite simply the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Great photography and great to have you back!
Wow, thank you! and its great to be back!!
Fantastic video! Great time lapse of the Northern Lights.
OMG those lights were spectacular!! You are very good at those time lapses and the photography with the drone is amazing also!! Thanks for traveling to those cool sites. Now get some rest!!
Thank you! It took us a week to catch up on rest 😂
Gorgeous campground! I would love to see the northern lights but I doubt I ever will living in Massachusetts... They were absolutely spectacular! Wonderful video! 👍👍👍👍👍😁
Thank you so much.....True, you Probably will not see them in Massachusetts! I would love to see the in Norway!!!
That was a spectacular treat. Thank you for sharing as usual. Safe travels.
Great video. I am a resident my whole life and late nite sky observer in South dakota. Would take my kids out to watch the "lights". Look after midnight, is the best time for observing. Saw a Leonid meteor shower in late nintys that was hair raising. Big chalk mark on my things to see bucket list. Welcome to south Dakota.
Thank you, Thomas! South Dakota has got to be high on the list of States for night sky viewing. So little light pollution. What a real treat! There is a meteor shower tonight but the nearly full moon might make it tough to observe.
Good to see you back! Love the music you’ve included here, you’ve made me a Loving Caliber and Cody Francis fan. Thanks!
Carrie! That time-lapse! Omg omg omg!
Thank you, Carrie!! We couldn't have ask for anything more spectacular for our first camp out of the beet harvest.
Great video, we marked the campground on Google Maps for future reference. And, the soup was absolutely delicious. Made it for supper tonight. Wow, it was GOOD!
What amazing lights and so well captured by you. I loved the campsite and your drone footage showed it's great dramatic beauty. It must have been lovely for the three of you to be at such a beautiful place specially after the harvest. Carrie I remember the first time to did night photography was of two roads diverging in the woods. This one of the lights is also great. Love to Roodle. Take care and have fun🤣😝😜
Thank you, Seema! That was the perfect location to recover from the beet Harvest. We even got a light show! It feels so good to be back out in nature doing what we love. Thank you so much for all of your support! 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
Awesome to see you guys back to the norm for you. Loved it…bookmarked it…thank you so much for all you do. Be safe, be warm…head south. Love you guys! ❤️
Thank you! It feels so good to be back on public lands enjoying the peace and quiet. We are back at home. 😎
So glad to see you back on the road! You three are such a joy to follow along with and you're so blessed to be able to follow your dreams. The northern lights were so amazing, thanks for getting out in the dead of night to video them.
Wish I could travel to remote places like that but being a 78 year old woman pulling a teardrop I don't feel real comfortable going to such remote areas. I do camp on BLM land, national and state forests where there is usually other campers.
I'll be at Dome Rock outside Quartzite next month, Lord willing. I love the desert.
Take care.
Hi Thelma. It feels great to be back on the road! Yes, this is super remote and not a bad spot to meet up with a friend but definitely not in the winter months. 😂❄️ We hope you have a great time in Quartzite! We are hoping to head that way but it might not be until February. We love the desert during the winter as well! Have a great time. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾❄️
You could boil that water and make it safe to drink. Natural spring water is more healthy for you....too bad it's not a hot spring. Ya'll stay warm and safe out there!!! BTW, I've had to use your green beanie in SC already, love it!!!
We were thinking that same thing about the spring! If that would have been a hot spring we would have stayed until the snow pushed us out. 😂
Yeah the Roodles are back! Great that the Northern Lights were visible. We are in southern BC and didn't see anything. I am busy making notes on this campsite - adding it to our list of places to stay when we eventually can travel south ( no van yet - pandemic delays). Cheers!
Great video. Northern lights are beautiful!! Great to see you again.
So happy to have you guys back on the road 🛣️. I would just like to say thank you for all that you do! I appreciate you both, very much 💜👍🤗
Thank You so much!!! we really appreciate your feedback!!
So beautiful, thank you for sharing the Northern Lights and campground info!
Our privilege. Thank you! 😀
Congrats on your awesome capture of the Northern Lights! Great job. So glad you got to see it!
Thank you very much! I was such a happy girl!! And to think I almost didnt get me camera out!
Love journeying with you! Thanks so much for being authentic.
Thank you Kim! We are honored to have you along with us. 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
I received my calendar the other day. It’s beautiful. Thank you!
Right on Ellen! We are happy you like it! This is our first try at making Calendars. 😎
Way to comeback from the beet harvest break! Your campground review was great, and the northern lights, wow!
It feels so good to be back on the road! Thank you. 😎
What a great video, so good to see you back on the road, and can not wait for my chance to see the northern lights again, thanks for sharing.
You are welcome! its great to be back on the road again. Im still looking forward to seeing the northern lights in Alaska or Norway....that would be AWESOME!!
Very well done on the time lapse! Great spot to stop and camp. Just beautiful.
Wowsa what an awesome campground and those northern lights were spectacular‼️AhhhMazing video you guys‼️ 👏🏼😃❤️
Thank you! And to think I almost did not get my camera out!
I love that you share valuable information about each dispersed camping area, thank you!!
Thank you, Teresa! We love this job and hope others will have as much fun as we do. See you on the road. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime I officially hit the road in my 5th wheel Arctic Fox camper with my 2 pups after Thanksgiving. Im camping in Thousand Trails campgrounds for the first couple months…until I get my sea legs, but my dream is to Boondock in more remote areas like you all do. Please let me know if you are in Florida in the next few months🌞🐠🦞🌴I hope to meet you all someday in the near future.
Congratulations! We started our journey right after Thanksgiving in 2018 😂 It's a great time of year to begin as many campers are done for the year and it's less crowded...except for Florida 😆 Thank you for the invite! Florida was on our list. I have heard the Arctic Fox trailers are well built and can handle all 4 seasons. Most can't claim that. See you on the road. 😀
Wow! That is so cool!! Thank you for sharing such an amazing experience!! Love the time lapse!
You are very welcome! Im glad I got up to go pee in the middle of the night or we would have missed out!
You both do such a great job with this channel Love your excitement!!
Thank you, Wendy! We love to hear comments like this 😀😀😀
Awesome guys!! Will have to check it out. Pickles says hi roodle!! 🐕
Super cool! I really envy you two so much. My wife and I can't wait to join you on the road and perhaps meet you two some day.
Welcome back y’all!! WOW!!!!! What an epic show nature put on! So amazing! Beautiful campground, too!
Thank you! It feels so great to be back doing what we love and sharing it! 😎
Great find guys....
Thank you! This was a good one!
You got some red color at night...red is VERY RARE! Usually, it's green. I saw the northern lights wayyy back in October '84 in Vermont, but it was a 1/3 moon that didn't help. So glad you got to see them. My bucket list is to camp as high as possible and check out a summer time meteor shower, but coming up real soon: the Leonid Meteor shower and a lunar eclipse! You're in for a treat! I'm also thinking of getting a telescope maybe...but in an RV, space is premium! As always, thanks for all the tips and the great videos!
Had to come back a couple times just to enjoy the photography
Thank you, Cathy! Carrie loves to spend time with her camera and it's a good feeling to hear your kindness. 😎
OMG you guys! The Arora, the location, the lovely soup!!! Wow, wow, wow! That time lapse is AMAZING!!!! Thank you SO much for sharing!
Great to see you guys back on the road and your regular vlogs. Looking forward to many more, So cool that you got to see the Northern Lights, I have seen them from northern Michigan, what a beautiful sight to see. Happy camping Guys.
Thank you! We are happy to be back on the road!
Great to see the northern lights in your video!!
Omg. Stop it. Your scaring the hell outta me with those cliffs and ruddle
Roodle has no fear! He stays close and listens to us thankfully 😅
Wow what a gorgeous free spot ! Thanks for the beautiful video.
it truly was!!! and it is our pleasure to share these locations!
40 Miles North of my house...Pine Hills.. Been there many times...hidden treasure in Hardin County...I've never seen another person or camper when I have been there...Cool video.
Just finished watching...You were a bit north of where I was thinking.. but same beautiful campground...
Right on, Steven! The lack of people really makes this area awesome! I look forward to the next time .😀
Wow, guys, AMAZING spot & photography!! Holy smokes!! We missed you two big time-you really are the VERY BEST at sharing info! Adding this one to our bucket list. Thanks so much …& hope to see you down the road someday.
Our pleasure! Thanks so much! Such an amazing compliment!! Much appreciated!!!!
Lovely spot!
Very cool that your time lapse lights came out so well and the music choice 👍
Great video
Thank you, Cathy! 😀
Thanks so much for sharing this campground with us. We hope to go here in September/October. Hope the weather is as nice as it is for you this day.
Good to see you comfortably back at home 👍😂 My Saturday mornings with my coffee is now back to being complete since you are back home making videos 👍 That campground is awesome it is definitely a place that will be on my list to get to. The northern lights it’s something that I hope someday to see. I was amazed that you got to see them from that part of the country. Excellent video thank you 👍
Thank you! We hope you get to come here and check this one out! That northern lights was quite the show. We never expected it either. 😀
❣️ Awesome ❣️
Thank you! 😀
Great photos Carrie!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Karen! 📷 😀
Great information about this camping place. I love South Dakota. Stayed two nights at Nomad View in the Badlands which is BLM I believe. I imagine that you will take advantage of that amazing area as well. Love your videos. Take care. That soup looked great.
Hi Christine. That's our next video! We had an awesome time in the badlands. There was more wildlife than people! We can't wait to share. 😎
Another video hit!! Wow. We just became SD residents. Love it there
Just got out of grocery store to make the sausage soup. Yum
Hey in 2013 I went up to Coldfoot AK
Up to the arctic.
Was up there during the Northern light timeframe ...guess what...the night I was there they never showed up 😭
You guys are very lucky to see that
The photography was just awesome Carrie
Thanks guys 👍
The northern lights are fleeting..... I would love to see them in Norway!!! Bucketlist Item!! I love making sausage soup.....this recipe is so versatile! Sometime I call it "must go soup" because I use everything in the frig that must go....lol
Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
Thanks, you too!
I am so ready to be out there. Great video as always. Hey everyone reading this, order a calendar today!! it was a big northern lights, They were visible as far south as middle Kansas for a little bit
Thank you for the shout-out on the Calenders, Bob! We appreciate the help. 😀😀😀
Wow what a treasure find! And a quick look of the area and there are a lot of other Parks as well I really enjoyed your presentation and experiencing life with you for a day. And I don't know if that would be a simple meal according to my definition but it sure looked good and Hardy! And you look very comfortable in your van!I am looking forward to more advantures with you three!
Thank you, Paul! We are very happy and comfortable in our van. We look forward to spending more time in South Dakota and sharing our experience with you! Thank you for your kind words! 😎
Ok seen a lot of great videos over last couple years but th Northern Lights takes th cake‼️
Thank you!! I CANNOT wait to get to alaska and see more northern lights....I love them! Or maybe Norway....that would be a dream come true!!
Awesome video! What a treat to see the northern lights!
Thank you, Linda 😀
