You are truly pushing Betty around today. Be safe guy.

@ 19:20 that looks like Aloe

[@michelleortega1514]

The mogollon rim is one of my favorite places.Used to go to woods canyon lake and Tonto creek all the time.Heber is a great little town

[@rosehernandez5313]

We have a cabin in Overgaard. Love it up there.

[@charcornwall2717]

Wowza views....thanks for sharing....❤❤❤

[@anitablades6033]

Your Rig doesn't mind going up those mountains and big hills, the other day I was watching the New Panda trying to go up mountains, your rig does better than that newer rig. You have a good rig there !!! Thanks for the ride along !

[@kele1264]

Such beautiful country you drive through. Trees, rocks, pie bars.... What? Pie Bar? Never heard of such a thing! If you go, please take us with you. Good health and happiness; hugs and kissies for Bella.

[@carlahead5072]

Good evening Dave,Bella,and the Bounder!!! Thank you so much for another great video and you couldn’t have chosen a better spot to relax and up on the hill there. Yeah I’ll completely agree with you by chooosing not to stay on top of the hill so to speak. Happy to see that you made it down off of the big hill for sure and found somewhere else to stay that perhaps was just as nice. Well safe travels and looking forward to the new adventures the road ahead of you will take you next. Again, great breathtaking scenic views where you were . Much love ❤️ to you Bella !!! Don’t blame you I like cooler weather and don’t like the heat at all. ❤️❤️❤️🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍💖🥰😍

[@stoutexpress8952]

love the flagstone by the cliffs

[@sylvialmartel]

I agree a little to much danger there especially with Bella.. ♥ALWAYS BE BLESSED♥

[@19639747]

That 454 sounds nice. Obviously you’re not afraid to get on it. That’s the only way to drive that motor🤘🎸

Betty the bounder #1

[@thomasnightingale7897]

hey Dave that looked like a nice place to camp . you need to check out the pie bar one shot at a time. if your ever in Tucson check out the desert museum you will learn about desert and mountain plants and the wildlife that inhabits Arizona worth a stop. Have a good one

[@code4forlife]

Great looking Camping spot.👍

[@pambaker3046]

Thanks Dave, Bella and Betty for a sweet trip today and beautiful views! I'm stuck at home on isolation with Covid-19 and pneumonia! Wish I was already retired and on the road, still only another year! Hope to see you down the road sometime! Keep the video's coming, they cheer me up so much!

[@LuckyLarry]

Like Bella I like my naps too!

[@maevebrain]

I enjoy your showing us around Dave. Thanks

[@DavesRVLife]

My pleasure! :)

[@pamcox]

What a beautiful view you had. Hope all is well with you.

What a view! Bella stay away from the edge!

[@pauls9082]

I would’ve loved to have stayed at that camp with the view!

[@davidbrickey5925]

No that’s one heck of a claim look like better struggling . ☕️👍🍀

[@tazmod7272]

In 1969 I worked on the Coconino National Forest during the summer doing forest inventory. We were all over the forest. On week we stayed in an old Forest Service cabin near the Mogollon Rim. Lightning and thunderstorms would come up in the evening. It was amazing and scary.

[@carolwest6095]

Dave that's a wonderful camp spot too bad you couldn't stay longer. The clouds in the sky and long view was beautiful. Children need to know that putting rocks between succulent leaves can hurt them. I blame the parents.

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

Retire Betty next to panda. Lol I wonder what you would buy to replace Betty. Would you go another big bus? Those rocks look like slate.

[@marieg4739]

Arizona flagstone....

we loved Yuma wintered there for 5 years, and yes it was hot when we first got there. Enjoy your travels, happy that you can do it. We are from Canada and have to miss out this winter.

[@lindaltsteele1313]

Very pretty up there .... Aloe plants .... They need a fence .

[@pennylee6569]

Awesome drive an views see yah Dave and Bella hugs always

[@jillipepper5353]

That was a pain, getting all the way up to that beautiful spot and having to come right back down, It was gorgeous up there. I hope the pie was good at least, I love pie but rarely have it anymore, if I made one or bought one at least half goes to waste, I wish there was a pie cafe near here.🤣😂🙋🏼

[@cherriemckinstry131]

That sounds like a great idea..

[@edieboswiney6901]

Lea’s Restaurant in Lecompte, La, just a few miles off of I-49! Their pies or slices will have you bringng back things that you hadn’t thought of stealing.... They also serve hot plate sandwiches for lunch and always serve sandwiches. BTW: I have no affiliation other than being a louisiana resident and FAN of Lea’s!!

Thanks, you too!

That sounds like a lot of fun, chasing the warm weather. I hope to make it to Quartzsite soon. Hi Bella! Cheers!!!

[@dorcasrutherford8669]

Looking good!

[@christydittmerproductions]

I think my ears popped coming up that hill😂 great camp spot, other than no signal.

[@LetGoAnLive]

The good news Dave Yuma/Quartzite area and is suppose to be nice and cool by Saturday. I am headed out towards American girl mine😊 Safe travels !

[@deedeew4040]

Expecting snow this weekend Dave. Zane Gray famous writer of western books lived in the area you are in.

[@pamkaufman3662]

What a beautiful location! Too bad it didn't work out for you, especially after that climb.

[@victoriabaker4400]

Hey Dave-- It's pronounced Muh-ghee-YUN-- the double "el" is a y sound as in Spanish, and the accent is lightly on the last syllable. I always thought it was "moh-ghee-YOHN, but not according to "pronounce it" videos on the web. I grew up in Arizona which is part of why I love watching ya'lls videos, takes me back. So beautiful.

[@stinkysrvadventures8620]

2 newer bounders just drove by my NASCAR campsite. They were both so quite, and beautiful.

[@beverlyeisen7557]

Dave, You better show us pictures of the pie bar. I really enjoy your video's and getting away from the tribe. Betty seems to be doing ok. What kind of work do you do while traveling?

[@onrycodger]

The climb getting there is pure brutal on your rig, but the site you were at was awesome. It would be hard for me to leave that spot. Great video! 👍

[@OhHellMichelle]

They are called slate rocks I'm pretty sure & Aloe Vera plants 🤔 Maybe..Thx for another great video!

[@stinkysrvadventures8620]

Love camping off forest rd 300 on rim road

[@thinkinoutloud.1]

Nice travels!

[@davebestsgirl]

Great view from the top.

[@DavesRVLife]

Yes it was!

[@JIM-sb8qh]

dave go to cherry rd off of 169 its nice here in prescott cool temps here !!!!!!!!!!

[@robhebbs7960]

Dave surprised to see you on rt. 87 ( or we locals call it the Bee line highway.) I travel that route all summer long to beat the heat. i have a house in east phoenix and keep my travel trailer in happy jack storage all summer. Thats only another 15 miles from where you stopped on the rim. All kinds of free camping in the national forest. plenty of cell signal to. From my house at 1300 feet to where you stopped on the rim is a 6000 foot elevation climb. No wonder Betty was pooped out LOL. From stawberry to where you were on the rim is a staight 1000 ft. climb.

[@JayJayFromAZ]

Great drive through from Winslow to Pine. Sidewinders Bar and Grill or was that in Strawberry?

[@MrBornfisher]

Was that Bella or Betty that yawned? I drove that road once after a snowstorm and it was amazing!! Thanks for the ride along!!

[@charcornwall2717]

Beautiful place...thank you for taking us with you...

[@shannacraft4099]

🌼 I always enjoy traveling with Bella and you! Thanks for sharing! Beautiful sights!!! Stay safe!

[@DavesRVLife]

Thank you! You too!

[@Nivasi]

'hot' LOL I grew up in SE texas, I whine if PA doesn't get sticky at least ONCE - those 'things' are called cactus.. to be exact century cactus

[@jackiegardner7483]

Sweet Bella🐶

[@judgiedee]

Those flat rocks are flagstones.Arizona flagstone is mainly quarried from the Coconino and Prescott National Forests. Although flagstone and dimension stone are quarried from all over. There are flagstone quarry operations near Ashfork and Williams AZ. People use it for walkways, patios and sidewalks all over the Southwest.

[@arkansastraveler7698]

One of my nieces got married at one of lookouts

[@old-timerfull-timer245]

Dave, l would bet that a big block GM, the sound of your rig climbing those grades, is the best thing thats happened today. Sounds strong, shifts great. Been running one myself for many years. 1975, Class A, 26ft Argosy Airstream. Nothing sounds like a big block Chevy, peddle to the metal, passing gear, Quadrajet secondaries wide open on a mountain pass grade. Thanks for the audio.

[@louparry7721]

It would have been hard for me to leave that beautiful mountain. It was gorgeous. I understand that you gotta do what ya gotta do at times. I hope your pie is delicious! God bless , Louise

[@lindakrusyna7275]

Beautiful area.

[@imallierambles]

What a view! I just started to live life full time in my RV this year and wanted to get to the Mogollon Rim but didn't get a chance (I hung out up in the Kaibab and Flagstaff for a long time instead). It's on my list as soon as I don't have to worry about snow next year.

[@MarkfromArizona]

Great video....I think rainbow bridge is close to strawberry.

[@marieg4739]

Yeah ,he missed it...beautiful place...been there lots of times.

[@russellhancock9765]

Wow. What a view.

[@rickymcintosh1152]

I cant remember if it was Eric or CVK stop at the pie place and got a great burger & pie.......

[@jamesjackson7752]

Thank you for the ride along.

[@gerismix-upadventures]

Aloe, in Hawaii we use it for open sores or we scrape it and squeeze out the jell and put a little in your drink like orange juice and so on, it helps for blood pressure, upset stomach, and so on. Aloha from Hawai’i 🌺

[@wande.RV.iew1]

It may be worth getting a cell booster and long pole when the signal is so low. Nice video of another beautiful area!

[@JodysJourney]

My ears were popping just watching you make that climb. LOL

[@TheWestlandgirl]

Dogs yawn to pop their ears too in high altitudes.

[@jaya.0069]

Pie bar huh, sounds like right up my alley!

[@kathleenh3975]

They're not kidding about turning of the air conditioning on that 6 mile upgrade.

[@pamelaandrade6930]

All those beautiful pine trees! When you showed us over the cliffs, it took me back to my beautiful Blue Mountains in Australia.

[@cherriemckinstry131]

Looks like fun Dave. Im here in Pa. Watching the views and enjoying the ride.. i like the speed up part but you still get an idea of the terrain. You had a few good spots there.. and a ie bar? Wheres the photos? When you get in the upper altitudes. Sometimes the UV can be more intense..esp. on sunny days. Some weather channels will say if its low medium or high.. see if it makes a difference in your area. Some areas get more than others and higher altitudes.. even piolets with h8gh altitude flights in some areas have had to cut back.. The also started putting blue bags on bannanas a few years ago i was told it was for UV protection. We get a very few days of here. Some people use a meter to check.. i read its more intense in the central and parts of South America and there was an ozone hole for awhile over the antartic in one spot. Interesting info.

[@60West]

Great spot.. I've camped two spots to the left of where you are a few times over the past couple years. Thanks Dave!

[@rosehernandez5313]

Hi, Dave I used to go up to Kohl's Ranch just east of Payson. If you get a chance go east on Highway 260 from Payson. You'll find some pretty nice places up there. Stay safe up there!

[@barnettbilly85]

Does Betty ever answer you back when you talk to her ?

[@DavesRVLife]

Never! lol

[@davesanders9203]

Know the area. Glad you enjoyed it. I can only guess you're headed toward Prescott? If you do go thru Prescott and are interested in "Haunted Houses" you could check out Hotel Vendome. Maybe you could check out Yarnell, AZ. It has a special memorial nearby. Related to Firefighters.

[@billlong5979]

The plant is Agave. They make sweetener and tequila - depending on the species.

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Beautiful View! 👍👍

[@DavesRVLife]

Yes it was!

[@brikshoe6259]

Enjoy the cool weather and you'll be back in Yuma soon. I was stationed at the Marine air base there in the mid-80s .... it was a very pleasant little city, clean, well-kept, low crime. Alas, I hear things have changed. It looked like a nice day for a road trip anyway! You have very good video on your "dash cam"; what are you using to record your drives?

[@carolyncrisman]

Thanks for your footage of places to camp in Arizona. My husband and I really enjoy your channel. We just got back from a family reunion in Colton Point Pennsylvania. On the way back we stopped and ate a great hamburger dinner at Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub. Thanks for the suggestion to eat there.

[@jennyhackenberg3790]

you were in my neck of the woods. I live about an hour away from colton point. beautiful view

[@marciannaprice1882]

Amazing views! Thank you for taking us along 😊

[@DavesRVLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@marieg4739]

Hi Dave , you gave Betty a workout driving all the way from Yuma to the Mogollon Rim, which by the way is pronounced...Mogo-yon... Its a beautiful area for camping in the summer when its burning up in the Phoenix area where we live. The rim is an escarpment that goes all the way to New Mexico and is at 7000+ ft. elev. too bad you couldn't overnight, but theres all kinds of camping in the area. I'm sure you'll enjoy the cool weather . If you keep driving you'll get to Payson and get on the 260 and that'll take you to Showlow and Pinetop/Lakeside with beautiful lakes and lots of camping. Enjoy your stay in our state!!!

[@connieolivares9453]

🌞nice video! Yes, too hot in Yuma! I live in Buckeye AZ and just as bad! It's nice to get away now and then to a cooler place to camp and visit. The city of Phoenix is like in a big hole...lol!!! Very hot, but lived in AZ all my life...you get used to it. I hate days when you don't have a plan where to travel and visit. Everything will fall into place! Stay safe and safe travels!🌞🏜️👍

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

You see some awesome scenery. Please be careful around those edges. I'd dearly would hate for anything to happen to you. I can't grab your arm from here. Peaceful camp spot. Safe travels.

Does the altitude ever bother you. Every time I go to Santa Fe I get altitude sickness! Never mind I just heard what you said.
