Living the Dream - RV Life//More Beartooth Hwy and Yellowstone

[@BoomerGirlInaGenZWorld]

My dad’s dream was to retire to Montana. He died at 53 and never got the chance. He would have so loved this. Thank you.

[@louisguthrie7286]

I saw the comment about the woman's Dad dying at 53. I am 69 and my kids keep fighting me to get on the road. Your videos make it seem Feasible. Thank you...U.S Air Force retired

Yea!!! Carolyn s back... Love learning n site seeing.... HUGS

[@CarolynsRVLife]

This was shot in September

[@kaeirenaslp9154]

These are my favorite types of videos! This is your forte, Carolyn. Thank you for sharing your travels.

[@joyces3550]

Has to be one of the most beautiful videos you ever shot. Love Wyoming and Montana! Good to hear you laugh. Stay safe and well.

[@happyhousefinches]

Such a beautiful drive! I lived in Great Falls, Montana as a child in the early 60's. Even then, as now, the Big Sky Country landscape brings me joy! We can't wait to get back on the road again!! Thank you for the virtual travel with you and Sadie! Keep safe and well!!🐾🏞

[@inge6280]

Such a beautiful landscape. I love driving along with you!

[@racheljoanfleming159]

Too funny...two casinos and no cell signal...well at least they have their priorities in order ! lol I so enjoy your videos and your commentary, historical and just observations. You still have the joy and appreciation of a 7 year old. It is so refreshing. By the way, I think you are one of the few RVers who actually comments on the feats of engineering in North America. Truly remarkable achievements.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Glad you like them!

[@JB-qu3tb]

So great to see you and sweet little Sadie. I love her bed in the front seat!! She can help Mom with navigation!! Yes, the color palette of Fall is really enchanting. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks so much. 💕

[@lolasaxby1399]

It was funny watching Sadie rubbernecking all those people! So sweet. Such pretty country! My 7 year old granddaughter laughed at your tree joke!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Love it!!

[@scottt8424]

Hey Carolyn thank you for the mountain views in the trees

[@karenroe6270]

My husband and I travel to Montana alot. His father lives in Billings Montana. We have not camped much.But retirement is near. And I want to travel in Montana and Wyoming. I love your history tutorials. I learn so much. Love & Light from Washington state.

[@UncleMo2]

I also enjoy all the history facts Carolyn shares with us all :)

[@CarolynsRVLife]

That is awesome!

[@brittanykasha4825]

So much open road and beautiful scenery! I love it 😻

[@BubbaWarbucks]

Don't apologize for the blurriness in the footage of the bison. It lent an authenticity to the footage, as if it were from pioneer times. Beautiful countryside.

[@evelynalbano7083]

Breathtaking scenery!! I hope to get on the road this summer with my dog.... I wanna travel the US: Dyin to see all of it in person. Sadie is so cute with her head resting on the pillow, love her!!! Stay safe, hope you're both feeling well 🙏🐾

[@dragonflytoo]

If you haven't already, you must drive the Banff and Jasper routes. Stunning. I always laugh when I'm driving through, there's a sign that says something about 'distracted driving laws'. I ALWAYS think, "Then you should create a tunnel because the view in every direction is a distraction." 🤣🤣

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yes, was hoping to make it there last summer but didn't' make it. Someday! Yeah, the distracted driving laws crack me up sometimes too - there are so many distractions they don't fine you for. LOL

[@courtenayvalentine6013]

I saw three mountain rams huddle on a cliff there!!! I couldn't turn around anywhere to get a pic!!!! But was just amazing route!

[@cherylsibson8457]

[@michellekorn3693]

We so enjoyed this video of our favorite place. My husband was a fly fishing guide there for four summers starting in 2008. We try to go back every other year and stay in Gardiner for 6-7 weeks. We love it there❤️😊

[@AmericanIdolElise]

What a delightful day - The crisp air, colors and lack of people makes for a great drive, but even better hike.

[@pagewhite61]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much Carolyn.

[@texcinlulu]

Great video! Loved the Autumnal colors! Thanks for sharing your travels. Best of health to you and Sadie Girl🌞🦋❤️

[@janetmitchell1053]

I really enjoy & appreciate your excitement & enthusiasm when you see cool & beautiful scenery & things!!

[@rachel8727]

We stayed at the Soda Butte Lodge you mentioned in Cooke City. There was a buffalo that came to the back of our hotel room and we could hear it breathing out the window it was so close! I am thankful we were not on the ground floor! Neat experience though!

[@bettewasik966]

Hey Carolyn. My homebase is Butte, MT. I have traveled the Beartooth Hwy many times and thought you would be interested to know that the town of Red Lodge is in Montana. I know, the borders and highways wander a lot and it's often hard to tell which state you are in. Love your videos. And, what a beautiful travel companion you have.

[@NenaLavonne]

SO BEAUTIFUL! Wow 😮♥️

[@kimbrandom2789]

Really stunning views! Thank you for sharing!

[@pkmagic]

Fall is my favorite time to see Yellowstone and surroundings. This makes me a little homesick. Thanks for the beautiful memories.

[@beverelebarnes37]

I'm loving the video's beautiful scenery and love you telling about them. It seems like old times. I'm happy your feeling better. Be safe as you do .

[@jmwilson3787]

We’ve done Beartooth many times exploring. If you had had 4 wheel Drive, off to the right just before Cook City, there are many mining areas, old log cabins etc. Lamar River Valley is one of our favorite areas of Yellowstone. It’s the area where we saw wolf, grizzlies are prevalent, and of coarse the Buffalo herd. Actually it’s where the tour groups go to look for animals. Northeast entrance was our favorite entrance. First time we went that way, there was virtually no one, last time it had become very crowded. So much to see and do. Next time do the highway from Cody over the mountains, it won’t disappoint.

[@patriciadifferding7688]

Lovely scenery, interesting narrative and a precious pup to boot! :) Thanks!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Many thanks!

[@jenniferrae6646]

Great to see you so happy and enjoying your adventures again Carolyn. Beautiful surroundings for sure. Today is classed as our first day of autumn here, or fall, as you know it. It is certainly a gorgeous time of the year with all of the different colors. Sadie can sense your happiness I'm sure. Take care on your travels. Can't wait to see more. 🌳🌲🌿🍁🍂🍃

[@lauriehall3283]

Carolyn, these past couple vids have been so enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing. Your enjoyment of the beauty you are experiencing is fun to share too. I’m planning a road trip with my sister in law and can’t wait to do some exploring too!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks so much 😊

[@gaylemoore2784]

Thank you for sharing the Bear Tooth Hwy.....I plan to drive it this summer! I spent last summer in northwestern Montana (hiding from Covid), but this summer, I'm hoping to put some miles behind me! I'm currently at my home base in Arizona, but spring has sprung and I'm getting anxious to get back on the road!

[@Butterfly19708]

I love your vlogs. I have been watching all your videos to get caught up. So happy I found your channel. You are so inspiring.

[@firestormrider1919]

I loved your video.Please do some more across the country.It's kinda digital therapy for the eyes and mind.

[@genekied]

Great timing on this post, today is Yellowstone's Birthday (149 years young)! Today is also my 12th anniversary of working and living in Yellowstone. The Beartooth is my backyard, it's awesome. A few nice boondocking spots and some campgrounds. Relatively unspoiled. I really do wish we had cell phone in that area, internet is really tough until you get to Mammoth Hot Springs, it's the one thing would really make it viable to stay all summer. The 'No Vacancies' were pretty much all season long as we had an extremely busy summer. I just bought an older 1988 class c and have worked on it all winter and can't wait to head out and go camping this summer. The Pacific Northwest is my playground. P.S. - The 'bison jam' might have actually have been a 'wolf jam', that area is known for a pack, they were probably far out across the field, hence the scopes and long lenses. Sorry about the camping, we get invaded like this every summer, and a lot of them don't know what it means to give people space.

[@terrapintravels3829]

Great video and history, thank you!

[@courtenayvalentine6013]

How beautiful! I was out there 4 months. Went a few months after my Mom passed away. I now do gettaways as I'm still taking care of my Dad. So so very beautiful and happy for your true freedom, shared experiences and nomadic life. I wish you all the best. Stay safe!

[@sherrycousins9959]

I really enjoyed this video, seeing the sights and the information. Well done. Hope to see more soon.

[@kelsey311540]

Oh my gosh.. a petrified tree.. such a 'dad joke'... hahahahahaa! love your videos. We live in Idaho and are very familiar with the areas you are filming. Absolutely beautiful all year long!

Carolyn, I believe the movie Nomadland that you were in won the 2021 Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture (Drama)!!!

I was in Yellowstone a couple of Octobers ago. It was so beautiful and there weren't hordes of tourists like the summer.

[@crisdelgado1008]

Loved this video! Great travels and clips.

[@kevnrob1]

Hi Carolyn - GREAT VIDEO! You drove right past my tiny little back country office at the Tower Ranger Station. I was not there last summer due to COVID but I will be back this summer. Sure would have been fun to see you. You were lucky to see a large herd of bison running like that. Doesn't happen all that often. Mostly, they meander about. That animal jam could have been a bear or wolves. One of the wolf packs worked its way into that area this summer. If you see a bunch of people looking at something, don't be shy. Park the rig and ask what they are looking at. Lots of fun!! We boondock at that exact spot outside Gardner frequently. That dirt pile next to you RV is sometimes used as a shooting range back drop. The shooters stand where your chairs were! I've never seen so may campers on that spot. The most I've ever seen are two besides us. I heard things were crazy busy. You picked the perfect time to visit. The shoulder seasons, Spring and Fall, are the best times unless you want to see things in the winter. Too bad you did not see any bears. I really missed the park this year. Your video helped satisfy my longing and it also piqued my desire to get back. Thanks for sharing your trip! If you are back in the area stop by the Tower Ranger Station and ask for Kevin H.

[@lolasaxby1399]

Stunningly beautiful! Thank you for sharing

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mariondiemert430]

Don't know if you heard, but YOU were an extra in a motion picture that just won the Golden Globe. Chloe Dau's Nomadland won tonight as best picture and she won as best director. Now I am going to watch your video. Hugs to you and Sadie.

As a homesick Montana girl living in Texas, this video was very medicinal! And no, you NEVER want to go through Yellowstone in the summer months. I did that once and it was a nightmare. Traffic jams, people jams, awful Couldn't get out of that park fast enough.
