New friends in the middle of the desert! It was awesome to finally meet you Brain. Had a great time hanging out and I’m sure I’ll definitely see ya again on down the road.
My husband Joe is sorry we missed you....you were 2 miles from our house. He's been following your videos for years...we live just outside of Devils Canyon
Great Video... thanks for tuning me on to the Captain < FYI. Cindy and I were on the road for the first time. 35 days from Michigan to California and back. Traveled 7000 miles. So glad we had a lithium ion Battery that powered our small fridge.
Oh Brian. If you had gone 15 miles up the road on 88 you would have found lots of boon-docking and a beautiful camp called Tortilla Flat Campground. I spent 6 nights there a week ago. Beautiful.
Ever since Camo Dave died, I've been deleting my van life YT subscriptions, I decided to give yours one last look. This video prompted me to keep sub to yours. Enjoy your day.
Your videos actually make me feel like I’m there. You have an amazing camera. Thanks for sharing your travels with those of us who can’t do the same at this time.
Will you and Kellie be meeting up soon? I love seeing you two together 💞. Yeah, that looks way too crowded to me too. I hate crowds and those things are overpriced so much it's ridiculous.
I really like riding the trails at Gold Canyon on my mountain bike. Right now I’m riding clear Creek trails near Oxford Mississippi there’s good dispersed camping here.
I worked 2 years at the AZ ren fair. Such good times. That was back in 91-92 so prob a tad different. But yeah a fun way to make a little cash. I only worked weekends so I was able to hike n camp in superstation wilderness across the street, where u were camped, all week long. Good times. Been chasing the snow last few years in winter. Currently in Telluride but I may give up snowboarding next year n spend the winter back in AZ.
Have you considered Visible phone service. Visible is a Verizon MVNO. It is subject to prioritization which will slow it down but for the areas you seem to prefer, if verizon works then visible should work. There are no contracts and it's unlimited data, voice and text. I get good speeds with it. It works on 4G/LTE and 5G. The best part though is it's only $40 / month with all taxes and fees included and if you join party pay you get it for $25 / month. I've been using the service for 3 years with no complaints. I also bought a MOFI 4500 router and run a second visible sim in it for my internet. Best wishes!
Safe travels Brian, I agree i wouldnt wait for ANY show like that....traffic ridiculous. plus the crowds yuck. I go places also when they are closed when no one is around
Hey, Brian! Greetings from the Alabama-Florida line. Moved here from Ohio nearly 43 years ago. My husband and I are 73 shortly. Got a little 20 ft rig from hitch point to bumper 5 1/2 yrs ago. Daughter in Phoenix area, so that's where we head 3-4 mo. twice a year. Bounce in and out for visits while we enjoy this great country the rest. Boondock as much as we can. Bought NM pass last December for the year. Did lower third of state and Hope to finish it off this year. 60 is a favorite route of ours. Always say, "We're just exploring!". This video was in some of our favorite area. Thanks for taking us with you. Really enjoyed your salmon work.
Brian you were in my neck of the woods. Your more than happy to camp in my driveway for a few days. I meet you at RTR. I spent one night in Scadden wash.
We love our Arizona Winter home base too. A little too warm for us in the Summer so we retreat North to our Montana hide out. We've been Full Time RV'ing since 1993.
I love AZ (my home base). Such great hiking and camping. Your right, it gets hot in the summer. I love free wheeling it at times as life happens instead of following a planned schedule. You often discover new adventures that way.
Great video! I would have skipped the fair too seeing that long line of traffic. My husband and I don't like crowded spaces either. Stay safe and thanks for sharing!
Ha, I actually spotted your van parked off the side of the road there in Gold Canyon a couple weeks back. Unfortunately it was late, otherwise I would have stopped to say hi! There are some great MTB trails just north of the ridge from where the dispersed camping is, FYI. Safe travels!
We were in this same area about 2 weeks ago. We actually had considered going to the Renaissance Fair, but like you, we got stuck in the long line of traffic and decided to skip it. We did go out to Superior and then to Roosevelt lake for the day. It was fun to meet Nick on your video. Will have to check out his channel. We are back home in MT now. Can't wait for some warmer weather here.
hahaha... I did the same thing first time I encountered the renaissance festival.. just drove on by. I did end up going a couple years later, and it was cool. Hope you got the "back-stage look". gosh I SO love my AZ!!! Beauty every where you look... Thanks for sharing your travels.
Hey Brian..back in Washington state. Took the PCH from Longbeach all the way North..epic journey ! Staying for awhile at my Mom's and after I've rested from my travels will venture out around here and explore more 😁 Looking forward to seeing the renovations to the box truck..still planning on getting one in the future 👍 Take care and enjoy the journey my friend ✌️😁
Yeah, Ren faires are a big deal. I can't imagine waiting an hour in line to get in but yeah.... The jeep, the drone shots, the editing and the stellar footage were greatly appreciated! Ha ha I loved it when your friend said "away we go". Seems like a good guy to do some grilling and chilling with.
This is such a great time of year in the desert; the greenery, as you mentioned, standing water, the critters waking up. Clear skies, blooms in surprising places. And oh wow, what views. Sounds like you're having a blast!
Gorgeous hike. Was that like a trail head marked hiking trail? Or do ya'll just roam around out there. Not that many animals but the dang scenery was tremendous.....all those cacti, huge, awesome specimens. Thanks Brian !!!!
I started laughing when you said "No, I am not feeling it, not dealing with that line of traffic today." 😂
I can SO relate!!!! 😂😂😂😂
New friends in the middle of the desert! It was awesome to finally meet you Brain. Had a great time hanging out and I’m sure I’ll definitely see ya again on down the road.
Hi 🙋🏿♀️ And Away We Go! 🚛

I like that saying plans are like written in jello hey stay safe and be cool
Oh Brian. If you had gone 15 miles up the road on 88 you would have found lots of boon-docking and a beautiful camp called Tortilla Flat Campground. I spent 6 nights there a week ago. Beautiful.
nick’s “away we go” made me lol
Got stuck in that traffic a few weeks ago. Decided to take a day drive out the 60 east and bam. Stop and go for a good hour.
Nothing quite like the gorgeous Southwest 🍿🏞
Beautiful country where you are at the moment Brian...
You need to get t-shirts made with my plans are written in jello 🤣🤣
Peace from Australia ✌️

Hello. Have a safe blessed night! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is my backyard. I live a few miles from here.
No plans keeps stress out of our lives
I had some friends that would say "we never make plans, we just have some ideas.....no stress, let the Universe direct us."
Your videos actually make me feel like I’m there. You have an amazing camera. Thanks for sharing your travels with those of us who can’t do the same at this time.
GNARKILL Hoo da doo doo I brought some beer here for you~!
Amazing area there at Tonto National Forest. Wow, magical.
The desert sunset took my breath away!
Stunning area. Some day I might get the chance to travel. Until then, thanks for taking us along!
That scene when you first pulled into Tonto National Forest was outstandingly beautiful! 👍 😎
Hello from Colorado

Flexibility has got to be one of the best perks of van life. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice looking camping sites. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛
Beautiful sunsets, Elk steaks and Burgers and meeting new Friends. Life is good. God Bless Brian.

I love how the sky in Arizona always winks at you!
I love it when I.... Don't Have Plans....
Will you and Kellie be meeting up soon? I love seeing you two together 💞. Yeah, that looks way too crowded to me too. I hate crowds and those things are overpriced so much it's ridiculous.
The adventure continues.
I really like riding the trails at Gold Canyon on my mountain bike. Right now I’m riding clear Creek trails near Oxford Mississippi there’s good dispersed camping here.
Love love love Az!!! Too bad it gets so darn hot there, but such a great state!!
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing!

A masterclass in reflecting noise and peace, with peace rising to inspire - I thank you!
What was the name of the trail you hiked. You do a beautiful job of sharing nature with us.
Greetings true friend,my favorite place..easy camping..just have to do it in cool parts of seasons..lol.. prayers n much love towards your journey 💯
Got to be able to roll with the bunches, great video, away we go. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 🚐
Those petroglyphs are for sure worth the hike, hope you beat the crowds that rush through there! Great video!
Absolutely beautiful sunset.
While in Arizona,stop in my old stomping grounds. Lil town called Wickenburg. Lots to do and see. But, only if you have time.
👋Brian👍Skip the crowded😁
In Australia we say "yeah, no!" Go with your gut. Crowds are too "peopley" for me.😂👍
Safe travels Brian, I agree i wouldnt wait for ANY show like that....traffic ridiculous. plus the crowds yuck. I go places also when they are closed when no one is around

Such amazing scenery. Arizona is definitely on my to visit list!
Tonto National Forest, my fav!
Yall should see the White Tank Mountains. It is beautiful. Great trails. God bless
@@thelmahenriques6454 looked like Big Bend but with saguaros, might be my next desert destination. Thanks for sharing.
Never having to punch a time clock is so rewarding........
We love our Arizona Winter home base too. A little too warm for us in the Summer so we retreat North to our Montana hide out. We've been Full Time RV'ing since 1993.
Sounds like a perfect set up💙😃
I love AZ (my home base). Such great hiking and camping. Your right, it gets hot in the summer. I love free wheeling it at times as life happens instead of following a planned schedule. You often discover new adventures that way.
You can always escape to Flagstaff or Sedona or down on the border at one of the many national forests there.
Great video! I would have skipped the fair too seeing that long line of traffic. My husband and I don't like crowded spaces either. Stay safe and thanks for sharing!

Beautiful area of Arizona! Thanks for sharing Brian 😎✌️
FYI: Toads live in the desert. They use water to breed in. Frogs live in water
Awesome! 👍😎🇨🇦🌵
Beautiful 😍😍🤤👍 Thank you!
Really beautiful country. Love the cacti.
hahaha... I did the same thing first time I encountered the renaissance festival.. just drove on by. I did end up going a couple years later, and it was cool. Hope you got the "back-stage look". gosh I SO love my AZ!!! Beauty every where you look... Thanks for sharing your travels.
Fun video Brian
Beautiful scenery. Thank you for bringing us along.

I remember watching the video of you going to buy the single axle box van you have …that’s the best thing you’ve ever done
I want one
Wow, beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful country, good call on passing the festival, looked pretty crowded.
This video is exactly what I needed today - thank you
Yeah, the Renaissance Festival is Big deal! Think Comicon for but for 1500's attire.
Awesome thank's man !!!
I was in Gold canyon. Yes, the traffic is backed up quite often.
Missed seeing KK as well on my way east.
Happy travels my friend 😊
Beautiful nature. Friendship on the road. “ the best laid plans often go awry.”
That's what I was telling them in the desert near Quartzite, my plan was to not have a plan.
Hey, if you do end up in Wickenburg. Stop by Thread Works , ask for Amber (my sister).She can tell you about places to see.
Yeah, Ren faires are a big deal. I can't imagine waiting an hour in line to get in but yeah.... The jeep, the drone shots, the editing and the stellar footage were greatly appreciated! Ha ha I loved it when your friend said "away we go". Seems like a good guy to do some grilling and chilling with.
That was an iconic desert landscape and with the late afternoon light on those hills, wow!
Right on. Ya that line was wild! Should do some kind of phone pay thing?
stunning views man !!! 👍👍👍
Love Lost Dutchman. Good video
As always Brian, thank you for sharing a piece of your story. 🙏
Thanks for bringing us along, greatly appreciated for sure.
Thank you.
Yay!
This is such a great time of year in the desert; the greenery, as you mentioned, standing water, the critters waking up. Clear skies, blooms in surprising places. And oh wow, what views. Sounds like you're having a blast!
Wow, that sunset and the location was postcard Arizona. Thanks, Brian.
Gorgeous hike. Was that like a trail head marked hiking trail? Or do ya'll just roam around out there. Not that many animals but the dang scenery was tremendous.....all those cacti, huge, awesome specimens. Thanks Brian !!!!
Your Videos are Clean and very crisp and sharp, I wonder what camera do you use to take this shots? Thanks.
Great Adventure !! Epic Hike making new friends couldn't ask for a better day 💯✌️
If you head out to Death Valley, my place is on the way in Pahrump Nv. i have a shop full of tools if you want to do a mod.
Wow what a sunset that was awesome.

I love Arizona i lived there for 20 years...fun video
Beautiful scenery.
You always find the coolest spots to camp!! Awesome!! 👍🏻
