Got interrupted in watching the vid yesterday! I just love the clear blue lakes that you find!!! Your drone shots, Annette, are amazing!!!! You need a backup one burner butane stove, girl! Yes, to the 4x4!!!!

[@AnnettesVanTease]

I’m loving all the lakes too. 🤗🥰 I think you’re right, I need backup everything. Yes! I’m totally off-roading in a few years!

[@GracieandJacqsAdventures]

Watching now!!!!

[@AnnettesVanTease]

🙏❤️🤗

nice pullup shot with your drone and wow what a beautiful shot of the sunset thanks for sharing your adventures i hope you have a wonderful day stay safe and enjoy

[@AnnettesVanTease]

Thank you so much. I still need to practice like you do, but that sunset was amazing to see above that lake. Have the best week!

Hey there Annette! Another great adventure and video with beautiful scenery! Life gets busy! I completely get it! There are projects I wanted to start months ago too… and I still haven’t started them yet 😉🤷🏼‍♀️I’m really glad to see that you treated yourself to the magnetic window coverings!! Those are great!! The van is looking cozy… stay warm!!

[@AnnettesVanTease]

Hi Patty! I had to call myself out for knowing better and you even told me what I needed to do. 😉 I guess other things like broken fuses each week, a maybe still broken fan kind of became priority and I still have a big fix list. Mr Buddy does keep me so warm and comfy. You stay warm and safe travels. 🤗

Beautiful Sunset.. that lake is so pretty.. No propane sucks!! Those window covers look really great! Perfect fit!

[@AnnettesVanTease]

That sunset! I couldn’t see anything behind all the trees but it was pretty up in the air. So cozy with proper window covers now too. 🤗

[@deborah4579]

Happy Thanksgiving Annette! Beautiful location and drone shots as always. Happy that you got those nice magnetic covers. They make such a difference.

[@AnnettesVanTease]

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Thank you! It feels cozy and private with those new window covers.I love them.

[@MrRoughknuckles]

👍👍

[@JauneMacReady]

What a great video (shame about the propane!). I loved the views over the valleys and trees - beautiful country. That trail looked pretty gnarly. Even just the drive to it was rough! Great drone shot of the sunset too. That was a magnificent view.

[@AnnettesVanTease]

I’m glad I had sandwiches to eat. I was almost 2 hours away from propane and over an hour from food. The trail I guess is a historical icon it’s the famous for being the road that started jeeping and off-roading. I only went to the parking lot! I loved that sunset too. Couldn’t even see it from all the trees. 🙏

Beautiful scenery, stopping in from Gina’s Van Life

[@AnnettesVanTease]

Hi! Thank you, yes, it was such a beautiful area.

[@CookieMonster_1969]

That lake looked like glass, so beautiful 😁

[@AnnettesVanTease]

I loved that lake. 🤗

[@kaikito7662]

You are on my mind. Stay safe out there.

[@AnnettesVanTease]

🤗❤️

[@MrRoughknuckles]

Have fun!

[@AnnettesVanTease]

Yes you too and Happy Thanksgiving!

I've camped at Stumpy Meadows up there years ago and wlaked a mile in on the Rubicon Trail along side the 4x4s crawling. Beautiful up there. I thought you had a spare propane tank??

[@AnnettesVanTease]

I didn’t even know about that place. I saw a single photo from a lake by Azalea Campground and it was closed. I was a week late for a a Christmas tree permit too. You can cut your tree down in there, with a permit. I saw no 4x4 crawling. I had 3 spare green bottles. I never bought a spare for the hot water but I’m doing that next!

[@coravelasquez]

Such a beautiful place. I would love to be there when it's at least 20 degrees warmer. Glad you updated your window covers. I love the drone views of the surrounding area and that gorgeous sunset. Stay warm and safe! 😊

[@AnnettesVanTease]

The weather was perfect, for me. I was secretly wishing for snow. It gets cozy with the heater. That sunset was stunning, on camera. I was surrounded by trees and saw nothing like that in real life. You keep warm and safe too! 🤗

[@coravelasquez]

What a nice way to spend some quality time alone. I'm glad you're exploring and taking us along with you. Thank you! 😊

[@AnnettesVanTease]

It was nice. I really hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. 😊

[@coravelasquez]

I did, thank you.

[@barrywatler7482]

Hi ya I definitely think you should have a 4x4 😂, amazing scenery you take care and stay safe cheers from Australia 🌟🇦🇺🥰🚐🥰

[@AnnettesVanTease]

I’m lucky I didn’t pop a tire. 😂 Thank you so much and you stay safe as well! 🤗

[@gr8fullytedicated]

It always surprises me when I'm watching someone's vlog and they use the same music I've used. Since we both use Epidemic Sound it shouldn't be a surprise, I guess. Have you used their AI to pick the correct music for particular clips? I'm starting to use that more and more for mine.

[@AnnettesVanTease]

I have not that or even tested it and the next weeks video took me two days last week to find music I liked enough to finish that edit. Your Italy edits, did you use AI there? I kind of like the game of finding new songs, for now anyway.

[@BoondockingWithBoomer]

Snow?? Yuck

[@AnnettesVanTease]

It’s so pretty but I’d run from it too, if I were you.

[@BoondockingWithBoomer]

It has not hit me yet here in PA on my way to FL but is has been cold - 18F last night

[@AnnettesVanTease]

@BoondockingWithBoomer I hope you miss the snow and keep warm out there! Brrr. 🥶

[@BoondockingWithBoomer]

Thanks Annette the sooner I get to Florida the sooner I will be warmer
