Yeah, I'm not far from Osseo and have been through there dozens of times in my life. I've driven through there with the camera's rolling in at least a couple of these videos. I don't remember which ones though.

It's too bad you can't drive anymore. I do have a lot of driving videos here in Wisconsin and more to come. I can only go down roads the Dodge Caravan can safely go down though! Maybe someday I'll have something more capable.

Thanks, I'll have to check it out next time I go that way!

Thanks TerryX2, we've got a few more and will probably finish next year. Some are much more rustic than others for sure!

Thanks! That was an early video and I'll have to watch it again!

I’m finding that I like it too, but there are times I wouldn’t mind company as well!

@@HomeCityHomeLife I agree with that. At times it is nice to share the experience with someone...as long as they aren't complaining the entire time! haha!

Thanks! It's a nice little park. I'm going to definitely try to get to some of the camps you've been to too!

Thanks, but I can't take the credit, it's Chris Cooking Nashville. His link is in the comments. They're pretty good buns!

Yes we do! I'm trying to get out once a week. Already had camp #2 which will be coming!

Thank you for watching!

I drove through there again last Saturday and instantly regretted it! It was packed and slow going!

Yes, we found that out! The trips last year were more about driving the Rustic Roads and scouting out future places for me to camp. My plans for last year changed after my 99 Chevy Express was deemed unsafe to drive due to a compromised frame. I have my own van again now. My 87 year old Dad can't walk far and I wasn't going to make him wait in the car. In all honesty, I couldn't walk very far either, but that's changing. This year is going to different! I'll be doing some camping, sight seeing and light hiking (for now) on my own. When Dad is with me, we'll be doing the same as last year, the Rustic Roads and scouting out camps. New videos coming soon!

Yep, I'm 60 and it's been there as long as I remember too!

Thanks Terry & Terri! Yes, I love the fall colors. The weather didn't cooperate much last year to really them except on this day. I have two more videos to edit from last year and then we start anew!

The videos from last year I’m currently editing (trying to get caught up) will only be driving and site seeing videos from the car to Rustic Roads, State and County Parks, etc. The van belongs to my 87 year old Dad (Nubby) and he goes to breakfast every morning before 6AM so I can’t use his van for overnight camping. I was personally all set to camp last year after losing my late severely disabled wife in October of 2022, when my high top 99 Chevy Express Van was deemed unsafe to drive and too expensive to fix. The channel was supposed to be about me camping and exploring alone, but I had to pivot. So Dad & I wanted to go to the Rustic Roads as my late Mother always wanted to do and so we’re doing them. Along the way I’m scouting out campgrounds I’d like to camp at and I think we found some goods ones! So I’m currently searching for something affordable, without a ton of rust or a gazillion miles on it. I may wind up with another Caravan or Caravan type vehicle as I think I can make that work for now. I need a vehicle I can sleep in as being as “big” as I currently am (though shrinking fast), I’m not too keen on sleeping in a tent right now, but perhaps in the future. So I do want to do some camping this year!

Cool! I'm going to return someday too and conquer my fear of open heights like those stairs! First I've got to lighten the load though and that'll take awhile, but I'm making some progress!

Sounds great!!

Sorry it took me awhile to respond as I wasn't getting any comments so I didn't check it too often. If you look at 22.03 you can see that it's on the windshield too. I have both kinds of holders. In previous videos I used the mirror holder and then switched to the suction cup windshield holder so I could get the camera up higher. In a video coming up the suction cup holder fails twice while I'm driving so I go back to the mirror holder in later episodes! Yeah you can buy the mirror holders on Amazon. Here's the one I got! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5YX62QK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@HomeCityHomeLife I find the damn suction is,nt worth a shit either.

@@HomeCityHomeLife It shows currently out of stock but there are others there just as good thanks for getting back to me and the info.

Thanks Terry and Terri! That could get confusing! lol Some of the Rustic Roads are much better than the others for sure. Sometimes the roads getting there are just as or more Rustic.

@@HomeCityHomeLife You are right about that! Thanks so much!

LOL

I agree! I live in a small enough community where they're not likely to be crooked. As it turns out we lost big on the state level race, but we won one school board seat.

I was tempted to drive truck at one time, the lure of the open road and all, but I never got around to it. You make it sound like so much fun! lol I'll settle for driving my van around the country if this channel can someday fund it, but I'm obviously a long way from there! Sure we can meet up for breakfast or something if you make it up to central Wisconsin. My van is a gas guzzler and I have to keep my travels close by for now. When my wife passed, so did my income as I was her full time Caregiver too. So I need to make this channel grow or in about a year or so I'll probably need to find part time work. Well good luck with your appointments. Take Care!

Thanks man!

It's slowly warming up! It has to, tomorrow is the first day of spring!

@@HomeCityHomeLife Spring already started here in Houston two weeks ago or more…everything is budding out and starting to bloom here! It’s been a bit cold here last few days being in the 50s, but, I’m sure that’d be a heatwave for y’all up there!

My Uncle loved Benny Hill. Every time we visited them in MN, Benny Hill was on at some point!

I'm in Wisconsin! Yeah, Quikcrete works great but I only needed a little bit so I used a concrete filler Red Devil premixed concrete patch. It'll dry eventually I think!

The pod is actually just for getting sun in the winter. It's too small to camp in and it would be too cold at night. There was about a 50 degree difference between the outside and in. So I will use it next winter as this one is about over here. Although, it's 9 degree Fahrenheit this morning!

On second thought, one could use that pod to sleep in if you put it on it's back, but definitely on a summer night. I thinking about getting one of those clear bubble tents to see the stars at night, but this thing could be used the same way!

@@HomeCityHomeLife yeah it's more of a day Use thing by the sounds of it. I thought it might be possible to use as a winter tent (pod, see through tent? 😅) seeing as it increased in temperature inside but going by what you said that isn't the case in cold weather.

@@CampingthesuburbsOh it increases the temperature, but only when it's sunny out! I wouldn't want to sleep in it at night when it's cold in the winter!

Thanks! Folding up that pod was even funnier which I tried to do today! It's uploading right now!

Thanks again! It's not a camper yet, but it'll do as a place to sleep for now! It is a wheelchair as my late wife was disabled.

Thanks Brenda! And thanks for being the first to comment on my videos!
