SAFETY ISSUE? Propane: Just want to point out you shouldn't lay your propane tank on its side. Listened to an RV tech in Texas share the explosive possibilities. Please consider securing straight up with bungees. Love your channel and looking forward to seeing Tuttle Creek soon! So beautiful there! Safe travels!

[@cathiecollins7320]

I appreciate your honesty regarding camp and cooking. Many you tubers would never do that. Your content is perfect, don't ever change❤

[@ctruthtoday]

I love the choice of music on your videos. Such serenity.

[@kouten07]

Yes! 💞

[@sofiawhite378]

We should give her credit for doing this by herself she is amazing keep it up we love you!

[@vickaiser]

That was wild how the sun set perfectly right in that little notch.

[@johnmcdonald1306]

The mountain backdrops are amazing

[@MOTrav]

Where are the smores? You can’t have a fire without smores. LOL Cold camps are fine, but a fire does add ambience! 😎

[@EK-mx7zb]

Luscious videography, and really cool star shot. I wish Fall lasted forever. Nice looking dinner but it needed hunks of garlic!

[@lawrencewagner8685]

You are going to absolutely love your air fryer. It's versatile. fast, doesn't heat your trailer, a space saver. I bet that it makes regular appearances in future videos.

[@dianejohnston7437]

The time lapse of the stars was beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

[@debbiejohnson1441]

We added an airfryer, and 3 . 'quart instapot to our camper appliances. They have lessened the cooking load by 75 percent. I cook my bacon and toast and biscuit in the airfryer. Plus, chicken and pretty much all my meats except steak in there. The instapot I use if I'm tired from the day and too tired to cook. Just dump all the ingredients in, and it's does all the rest.

[@DennisLesh]

Reminds me of all the old cowboy movies I've watched that were filmed in that area. What an absolutely beautiful part of the country.

[@michaelanthony8780]

I camped at Tuttle for years, and the general area for decades. In all of those years the campground was never over half occupied, usually much less. Over the past few years though things have changed dramatically. Social media has completely ruined the area. My last trip to Tuttle Creek a couple of years ago, it was completely full, and not with respectful folks, but a bunch of rowdy noisy city people. The crowds at Alabama Hills in their Sprinter vans and over-equipped overland Jeeps (that never see real off-roading) was heartbreaking. When I lived in Bishop in the 70s I would visit those hills often and usually encountered zero to two or three other people, max. I love Catherine's videos, not blaming her. Much of the problems started with Instagram and FB posts going viral, which attracted a mass of people with a different mindset than previous generations of campers. Now many areas in the west that were peaceful, even sacred, are ruined forever. The worst part, aside from the loss of solitude is the amount of scattered litter, and even graffiti and other vandalism. 😢

[@overcomeinone8371]

Eastern sierras are a gem, as well as Catherine's channel, I hope to be in SoCAl coast for most of winter, God bless your excursions.

[@jim5549]

My daughter gave me an air fryer and I'm loving it. Takes a little time to figure out cooking times but they are great for single person meals. It's been too many years since I've been up 395 but the Eastern Sierra are truly spectacular! Thanks for sharing!

[@lhollybow]

The air fryer has pretty well replaced our gas stove and outside BBQ in our motorhome. Breakfast , lunch , and supper in a jiffy.

[@NilDreams]

Your filming gets more beautiful each time! And beautiful drive with all those boulders.

[@reinholdvink2654]

Maybe you could visit some other towns during the winter.. Doing some sightseeing, telling about the history and visit musea.

[@sacredstonecards9051]

My Father, loved Lone Pine. He spent much of his free time in that area. Now I know why. Thank you Catherine. 💛

[@briang70]

My dad grew up in Lone Pine but moved to SoCal to raise a family. He loved that little town so much he bought a relative's home when the time came and it became his sanctuary. He is now resting in the Lone Pine Cemetery at the north end of town.

[@sacredstonecards9051]

@@briang70 I love this story. I wonder want it feels like out there that makes some people fall in love with it. That you for sharing...lost my Dad to Covid, January, 2021 💔

[@bonniecleveland3470]

I don't like to listen to music when I'm out enjoying my time on nature. I think it's rude of people to play it loud enough for others to hear it.

[@livingthegospel5799]

I 100% agree! Silence is golden!

[@shawnheneghan4110]

I used to bicycle and camp in Ohio. The State Park had Class A and Class B camping (10 and 4 bucks a night). I referred to them as Class and Classless. The B camp was loud with radios , motorcycles, and just plan noise.

[@kokolovitch56]

Agreed Bonnie.

[@lorigurney7280]

I love the rd drives with those magnificent views! Miss traveling west through the mountains. Thank you Catherine once again for such a beautiful and refreshing video! Santana😎

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

You can always count on your channel for breathtaking scenery

[@briancoughlin6732]

That guitar music is beautiful i love the beginning of the song just single notes

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Nice to see you add an air fryer in the trailer ,, not having an oven limits some great meals on the road ... I've been using one for about a year now (at home) ,, and seldom use the oven now ,, the air fryer can do so much .... Lots of video's out there on various meals and recipes ... I love "Mandy in the Making" ,, where she offers viewers recipes as well ,, and her husband and son are not only the taste testers (victims ??) ,,but also the first line critics .... easy to use and easy to clean up .. .. Always love the scenery and seeing that you are doing well ... Stay Safe ... ... I use an air fryer also in my small RV even though I have an oven , just got familiar with some recipes I like ... also Use a countertop ice maker when parked for a couple of days ,, freezer space is small and having enough ice is always needed more ,, especially in summer ...

[@GluteusMaximus21]

Wow, A beautiful woman and beautiful scenery. Loved it.

[@maverick4080]

I just absolutely love your truck and travel trailer setup their Catherine. Thank you so much for sharing another great video with us..👍😘❤💯😊✌

[@sharondavis8003]

WOW. 😮 What a scenic route to go to town! Beats the city traffic & noise. Love the video, Cat. 🙋🏼‍♀️👍🏻❤️

[@charleshartig3247]

Thanks Catherine for letting us hang out with you! See you on the next one, can't wait.

[@markg3025]

What a stunning location, I have explored the Western range but you have shown me I need to visit the Eastern range. Another great video!

[@jenniferfisher530]

The Eastern range is spectacular

[@jr.6199]

Go there when Tioga Pass 120 is open, to save you 3+ hours of extra driving.

[@cheriwinden3856]

You have given us a majestic video! Thanks a bunch.

[@ThisWomansBrain]

Oh man we were there in December and just loved it. Lone Pine is such a sweet little town.

[@Bucketlistretreats]

Ah my home .... love it ... great timelapse of that gorgeous night sky...

[@donnasanford3970]

Beautiful scenery. We always cook in our air fryer when Camping,and really All the time.

[@davidshaw8515]

Glad to see you back with your rolling home. Although I enjoy your backpacking videos I relate better to your travel with your trailer videos. We are physically unable to do many of the hikes you do at our age now, but enjoy the fantastic scenery you show. The videos with your trailer are more in our ability range with travel now. Thanks again for all the beautiful places you take us to.

[@glb2546]

Catherine, I was hiking in Rock Creek in early August, the 9th or 10th, and I think I saw you on the trail, I am from Louisiana, but lived in Bishop and in Lone Pine, and I loved that area. love all your videos, have fun, Jerry

[@PWlangford1]

Your trailer is so cozy.

[@johneason6540]

This area is certainly one of my favorites. I summitted Mt Whitney for the first time September 23rd 2018, I go back every year. I think I will visit after Thanksgiving ❤

[@tychosnova2896]

I ventured out, after the past 3 years, to some of my most favorite, scenic, haunts that used to be deserted. Only this time they were swarming with people! Biking on hiking-only trails, playing music in sacred areas, fly-fishing where it was not allowed - people tromping off trail, pulling down branches and leaving trash, etc. The park rangers had their hands full ... seems like no place of quiet beauty remains the same anymore 😥. 21:00 O.M.G!!! 😀

[@thiamata5346]

Awesome video. Very Zen! Beautiful area.

[@timkrause5081]

Such Beautiful Scenery in those Eastern Sierra's!! Love your video's!!

[@calsurflance5598]

I just noticed you are approaching 91 thousand subs! Very cool and congrats! You have earned it!🙏🙏

[@alexanderweaver7066]

Great video, Catherine. My brother and my sister-in-law stored their fifth wheeler at McGee Creek RV Park from April to October. We camped there for five days the moved it down to San Bernardino for the winter storage. We visited Mammoth mountain area to see the fall colors in the alpine lakes of Inyo National Forest, June Lake Loop and fished for trout at Rock Creek Lake. It was absolutely gorgeous up there.

[@lyndagorter5319]

Hi Catherine, I have wanted to comment here so many times, but am finally here…I love your content and watching your life in the Springdale! I have one as well as travel solo all summer and on vacations throughout the year. I am a teacher so can’t go full time yet but will when I retire. I know you are thinking of a winter adventure…. I go to Tucson area, many beautiful desert places like Piccacho Peak, Organ Pipe Cactus NM, Lost Dutchman SP, and the entire Parker strip/Lake Havasu area is amazing in the winter. Catalina State Park would delight you and the trails are amazing. You could backpack right from your trailer!

[@joannehuttenhoff2701]

You are so right!! LOVE AZ in the winter time!!😍

[@lyndagorter5319]

The smell of the desert after a rain is so amazing!

[@BradfordKMassey]

Wow Cat what a stunning time lapse. What a great computer or phone wallpaper that would be. 👍🏻👍🏻. Thanks so much for taking us along on this one. Stunning photography all the way around! BTW I have the same air fryer and love it. Season up some chicken strips with some Mexican spices and air fry them for your fajitas and tacos. Mmm good! Have a great week and safe travels! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Brad! Yum! I’ll have to try those ideas. Right up my alley.

[@MARKCANEER]

Thank You for the Good for the Nerves Video. Well Done!!🙏👍

[@loralora4368]

How do you ensure nobody steals your trailer etc when you’re in town? Thanks for the enjoyable videos.

[@windybrown733]

Hi Cat! We’ve camped at Tuttle Creek. We prefer less crowds too. I just returned from Fallen Leaf campground in South Lake Tahoe and it wasn’t busy at all! It was a girls trip and we were there during the week. Hosts said the campground was sold out over the weekend. We were gone by the weekend backpacking in the Desolation Wilderness. Was AMAZING! Lake Aloha is out of this world beautiful. I can’t wait for your Yosemite video. My coworkers (fellow nurses) and I are planning a backpacking trip there for our annul trip. Have fun and stay warm :)

[@debrabalawajder2617]

That is such a beautiful area. We were there once passing through on our way to Yosemite. I loved imagining the old westerns being filmed there!

[@carlrice6989]

Yosemite is MY Favorite place on Earth,,, the Cables that allow traffic to the top of "Half Dome" come down on Labor Day,,, and stay DOWN till Late May ,,, early June,,,, The whole Yosemite National Park is Unforgettable ,,, Fire Fall is a Special sight to see over the Falls into the Valley,,,,

[@evelynmoyer9069]

They used to celebrate all the old movies that were filmed in the Alabama Hills on Columbus Day...people like Roy Rogers would show up for the fans.

[@joannehuttenhoff2701]

Watching your video, you wouldn't know it was super busy in the campground! You do a great job of portraying peacefulness!! 😊

[@karencaskey6210]

I can't wait to see where you backpack in Yosemite. My first backpacking trip was over 30 years ago in Yosemite, and it continues to be one of my favorite places for a backpacking trip. Enjoy!

[@krisg3984]

Hi Catherine ! That's for bringing us along 😊

[@puiasv]

Always you bring us the most spectacular place thank you

[@gmcenroe]

It was nice to see that you are back in the Eastern Sierra. Ever since discovering Ansel Adam's Mt. Whitney photograph as a teenager. I have been drawn to the Easter Sierra. I've been to Lone Pine several times with my son backpacking there and near Lake Tahoe in the Emigrant Gap area of the Sierras, as well as Yosemite. Looking forward to your Yosemite trip video.

[@PWlangford1]

You must be thrilled how your photos have turned out.

Thank you bringing me - in my mind - back to the Rocky Mountain. It remains so incredibly beautiful. Enjoy your entire trip and stay safe Catherine. Big Hug

Catherine, you are such a delight to watch. I’m glad that you are doing great. I thought of you and friend Joey backpacking in Banff just this summer, when I heard about the recent fatal Grizzly attacks right there! A couple of experienced backpackers and their sweet dog :-( Ohh my goodness. Terribly sad. Continue being careful out there my dear :-)

Yes a husband, wife and their dog!! So tragic...

Thanks for sharing and hope the backpack trip was good - we did a backpack trip years ago from Tuolumne to Half Dome and down to the valley (with a car shuttle) and was beautiful. Hope the weather is good. I remember deer up in Tuolumne Meadows nearly the size of moose! Cheers and enjoy!

Cat... Another outstanding thumbnail picture. That's some kind of sassy look you've got going on there. Standing there, a hatchet in one hand and a club in the other with that smile on your face. Kind of a mixed message there sweetheart. But you do seem to be waving a knife around fairly often. And big ones too!! Your starlapse scene near the end was really cool. You're getting pretty good at those. Have an awesome week angel. Randy. 🎹

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you so much Randy. The title and thumbnail were kind of a spoof on all the “Alone” stuff I see out there.

[@markpirtle1096]

Happy Sunday Cat! I was a little nervous when I saw how high your camper was jacked to get it level at that sloped campsite. I could just see you rolling down hill in the middle of the night. Funny, not funny, lol. Might be a good idea to carry some wheel chokes for situations like that. I have a similar Ninja air fryer and use it all the time! So easy to use, and healthier than oil frying. That time-lapse star trail shot was one of your best yet! We were just up at June Lake for a few days last week. Might have passed you on the road. I saw that Lone Pine was getting ready for their annual Film Festival. Might have been why the campground was crowded? So that was you at Walmart? Haha!

[@virginiajorgensen8614]

As always, I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@mccproc]

Catherine: I have followed your exploits for a long time. Am always fascinated with your Nature Videography. I will use one of your favorite words to explain. STUNNING!

[@lynnemarieallan5013]

So familiar with that area. 42 years ago that where we spent our honeymoon. 2 person tent with 3 dogs add a rain storm. Which allowed us to visit the Lone Pine Laundromat the next morning. Again thank you for the wonderful beauty and memories you give to us.❤

[@CritterSitterofCary]

Same air fryer...you will love it and yes...at leasts it Santana❤

Beautiful mountains right there. You got an air fryer just like mine. I can tell you fries, burgers, hot dogs, and steaks turn out real good. Also wings. Take care and stay safe and warm.

[@carolineray2155]

My experience this fall camping out west in late Sept-Oct was that most camp spots were still crowded or full. Also some BML spots were charging and the only way to pay was through Reserve America and there service charge was $8.00. Some national forest camp spots were closed for the season but allowing "dry camping".

[@SuziQuzi9725]

Thanks!

[@kennethmoore5629]

[@stanw909]

We just stayed there a couple weeks ago on our last night of our 10,600ish mile Alaskan trip. We took Tuttle Creek road which was magical but not good for long rv setups. It was our first time but won't be our last. Our favorite part was the view of Owens Dry(wet) Lake.

[@montydanable]

Yeah, air fryers have a learning curve, and now 18 months later I'm in the cult. LOVE it. Best of all are heating leftovers to a crispiness that wasn't there the day before. Long live the AF!

[@markflo8412]

Great shot of the 20 mile shadow!

[@herb7877]

Pretty ride into town, beautiful scenery Catherine. It’s no wonder it’s so popular there. Do the warm weather for winter, so much easier on everything and yourself. Stay safe out there.👍
