The secret ingredient is NOT tamari (soy sauce) or nutritional yeast!!

Wasn’t taking the dog into a 300 year old,still active church in someone else’s country a bit disrespectful? Just asking? If she were a service dog that would be a different matter but service dogs do not wander around with out a leash in any location. I have a service dog and she is vested and on a leash at any time outside of my domicile.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I watched the town's loose dogs go in and out of that church all day long. The thing is, Mexicans don't care. Only Americans are so hung up on stupid shit and live a total human-centric life. It's a freaking 500 year old building, I think it'll survive a dog.

We've driven this road more times than we can count. A suggestion for you as you drive north out of Santa Rosalia (unless you cross on the ferry to Mazatlan): Follow a semi-truck up. The semi-trucks coming down can see the ones coming up.

[@marjoriesmith4839]

I love watching the roadside, buildings etc. It brings back memories of our motorhome travels

[@Simply.C]

Thank you for sharing your life, travels and home environment with us. I’m new to your channel and enjoying your content and getting to know you. I travel in a small, medium roof, self converted Ford Cargo van but considering a 24 foot class C similar to yours. I just wanted to say thank you also for showing us the interior of your camper, the wide angle view, while sitting in the chair. It looks so home-like and cozy. It’s informative to see how someone really lives on the road. ~Stacey

[@kimlittleton4943]

I am totally enjoying these long videos of such beautiful places.

Glad you like them!

Wow!! Those pictures at the end as well as all the scenes during the entire episode, we're stunning, so beautiful... Thank you so much Carolyn!

I like to add lemon pepper to my eggs. Well, i add it to almost everything to cut down on my salt. What a difference in scenery! Loved the little town. Definitely worth the drive. Love the quietness of the campground too. I live vicariously through your travel.❤

I absolutely love your Baja videos. So beautiful! I agree that fear mongering is everywhere today and I also believe you just have to do your research and go with your gut feeling too. I often get a bad vibe about a place or a person and just listen to my gut. In regards to cartel, just be careful and whatever you do, don't joke about them.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you so much!

Absolutely love watching these so many memories of going to all these places ❤️🌮💃🏼and enjoying seeing all the new places too. Awesome water filter! My favorite place is Mulege' and Loreto area. So gorgeous and the food is insane must have the clams in Loreto they are famous for them!!! Plus there's not as many stickers from cactuses over there. Especially on the beach by Bahía Concepción which is my utmost favorite spot in the world!!! My word is salsa 😂 lentils are my secret for veggie tacos 🌮

[@looking4peace1]

It might have already been mentioned, but I've found that 1tbsp nooch, 1 tbsp onion flakes, pinch of garlic, 1/4 tsp turmeric for the yellow-egg color and the big one, the ingredient that gives tofu eggs that sulfur taste is Hawaiian Black Salt. I use Frontier brand. I crumble the tofu and mix the above and brown slightly. It's very close to egg and no cholesterol!

[@donnac.1609]

Hmmm.....whatever you said or did went over my head!!!

We were going to do baja 3 years ago but a virus got in the way ... really enjoying the videos ... be weat of the cholla cactus ... it can do some major damage ... have fun it looks like a lot of fun

Thanks so much for the mission interior film work - the high altar was spectacular - maybe at the next mission you could do more close up's! also try just sitting a bit so the viewers can experience the ethereal ambiance !!!

[@sharonwisinger5162]

I’m glad you had no trouble as far as cartel or corrupt police. Some videos this is what you see. Also I really enjoyed the music.

[@The-ii5mj]

Çarolyn, I think most are just genuinely concerned. You did sound "flippant" but went back & corrected yourself (or explained?) how you felt about it. I don't know how you know it's 'Cartel Land's but I do question your posting it in your title. I hope I haven't come across rude. My perspective on Mexico differs from yours. Growing up my fav place to go was our ranch in Mexico. Was beautiful, right on the river. The "Casita" was built by my family 3 generations ago. 25 yrs ago we gave the entire Ranch, land & buildings, to The Church of Romolino. It wasn't bcuz no one wanted it. It was bcuz it had become unsafe. I won't bore you of the stories how over the yrs we had to deal w/corrupt federalies, thief's, etc. My grandchildren will only know about our ranch named after my Great Grandmother thru pictures & that makes me sad. So when you make light of Mexico & it's current state of affairs, I get why people get offended. As always wish you well. I realize this is your life. Stacie 🇨🇱🇺🇸✌️

[@kiaorable]

I loved the area where you were camping it looks lovely place to explore. When I do scrambled eggs I use nutritional yeast to give it that cheese taste. Cheers Judy from Australia

Hi Carolyn! I am Hispanic and was born and raised in the US. I have been to MX with my family and realize the definite difference between the two countries. BUT....the crap I hear that MX is dangerous is nothing but hear say. YOU ARE CORRECT! It is just as dangerous living in the US as it is in MX. Thank you for telling it like it really is. 👍✌️ Been watching your channel for a couple of years now and just love both your channels. Thanks again! @LEEsureLEE Trippin'

[@alimcally279]

I love Sadie and the freedom you give her. Shes such a good dog. You take some beautiful photos and have an eye for good video. Have you ever traveled to Florida? Its the most beautiful state in the US and proud to call it my home...south Florida

[@alimcally279]

I'm still catching up and noticed you have been to Florida. I hope you traveled to the non tourist areas. The tourist areas isn't the real Florida.

Thanks and welcome

[@ATravelingAddictSolo]

If you were into hiking, are all those mountains in your drive public or private? Could you stop and explore them if you wanted? They look so inviting!

[@rootbox]

Great info re: noise. Baja is a touristy, party, vacay spot. I know of a large groups of people from the US who winter in rented homes there every year - one big party (senior citizens!) Baja has nothing for cartels....no smuggling points.,etc. I would be more wary of venomous critters, cougars and coyotes (and pokey plants)! Excellent boondocking spot! Once again, great soundtrack.

[@jeanninebilland5708]

Carolyn,I have another question.How far are you from the town known for the migration of butterflies 🦋 just curious. Thank you ❤

I was up till 4 am watching you just got up 3 pm oh boy light snow yuck spring in a couple of days. Thank you for the info I’m not much of a traveller ITS PORTA BACK YARDA .

[@KatieClarkson-zy5vj]

I was the director of a Hispanic outreach program. We provided ESL classes as well as a large after school program. Many of the places you have traveled are cities or towns etc… our family’s came from. Be careful I was targeted by the Cartel because of our work. They mean business.

Carolyn's Point: If you spend so much time and energy "WHAT-IF"ing, you'll never feel safe - anywhere. Stop Fear-Mongering and enjoy.

[@SharpLife4]

It’s content. Chill

[@carmencsorba8153]

I can’t help but thinking that unfortunate couple who have been murdered recently while sailing on Caribbean see. Probably they were thinking the same. Live your life free, stop the fear mongering. And they were two of them, not only a single woman in a van. Although to remain within the border of USA. doesn’t guarantee you will not be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Life became very scary.

[@baberuth37]

That's true only to a point, especially if you are a woman.

[@thizizliz]

Looks like a great area. A question if you don't mind; if you filter a gallon, do you get a gallon back? We've read that household RO systems take several times the water you get back. Looked like you did better thank that.

[@anniewisecarver744]

How does that compare to the Berkey filter?

[@michaelsearcy9241]

Carolyn, how much water does a large dog like Sadie drink in a day? My own dog Maggie (a 70 lb Brittany Spaniel & Pointer mix) takes well over a gallon. I ask as I may be unwillingly forced into the nomad life shortly due to financial reasons and I need to know. Thanks.

[@lonestarlaurel]

That Iteil water purifier sounds really good but the doesn’t a Berkey (sp?) do all of that just by gravity, and then store a quantity of the clean watet until you need it?

[@conchscooter]

I’m glad you’re enjoying Baja. We’ve been in Colombia a month and find it to be very similar to Mexico except here they love their dogs. No starving strays, great music friendly people not bad food ( nowhere beats Mexico) and killer views. I fear your video will feed the drive south but down here there is almost no one traveling. We seem to have a continent to ourselves. Keep on keeping on.

[@jeanninebilland5708]

Where is the other two sistas? Love this footage. Are you getting out of the dessert?Will you head up north?

My wife and I have been enjoying your videos for a while now. We were quite surprised to see you in Mexico walking around the little town square with your dog running around off leash!! To us that seems presumptuous that as an American tourist we just come to your town and act like we own the place.. are we missing something, you usually are respectful as far as we know.. just sayin’…

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Well maybe you've missed my recent videos showing all the dogs that run the streets in Mexico. They don't mind off leash dogs. That's an American hang up

[@reneefikes7308]

I’m a Church going, Bible reading Christian, and there was nothing wrong with Sadie being in that beautiful church. If people would read their Bible, they would first see that all of creation, including dogs, came from God. Also, they would see that God loved all of his creation and commanded us to take care of it. Sadie is his creation as well as you and me. Now, don’t ask me if dogs go to heaven. I’m on the fence about that. 😁

You're right the cartel is no joke. You say you are not flippant about your safety. Well, you are talking about the CARTEL, you can never be too safe when in their territory. So don't be too arrogant, because you did research. Always keep your head on the swivel and stay away from anywhere danger may lurk. Count your blessings that you had no problems while you were there.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Out of curiosity; how much research have you done on the Mexican cartels?? Are you an expert on them? Or do you just watch a lot of news?

[@DMContreras59]

Maybe I know innocent people who have gone down there just like you and have never made it back home because of the cartel. I'm Mexican-American, I NEVER go down there, my personal choice. It's probably more dangerous for me than you anyway. I'm retired law enforcement professional staff, I've read and processed many legal documents. I don't need to do research. I tell everyone going down there to be smart and be safe.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I appreciate your concern. I agree, you're probably more at risk than I am. It benefits the cartel in NO WAY to start harming American tourists. . It's all about the $$$ and if Americans stop traveling to MX they suffer financially. That's the truth.

[@DMContreras59]

The Cartels don't care about the tourists, that's not where their $$$ is, they could care less. Tourists are just as disposable to them an any other warm body. They don't care. Just stay safe.
