Exploring Ayres Natural Bridge and Surprise Meet Up Backroads Vanner Van Life

[@sarebearlovestocraft1575]

That's cool that you had that spontaneous meet up with Backroads! You both make great vids!

[@Radnally]

'A house as a home base. Go where the weather is good.....' Exactly what I do.

[@justthisonechick7068]

what a delight to wake up on a work week to see another awesome video from you Brian! it just makes me happy to know you are out there paving the way for the rest of us who will be living the life very soon!

[@mohdfiruzali2276]

a very nice surprise meet up with back road vanners ! a peaceful campsites get connected with the nature's! stay safe!

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Mohd firuz ali Thank you. I always appreciate your comments :)

[@JJF10101957]

So many natural arches in the Southwest! How were we blessed with one, let alone dozens. We are so blessed!

[@roamingfree6968]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful place. I'll never see it. As a pittie pooper picker upper, I do understand the frustration. Those that don't clean up after their pets ruin it for the rest of us. One bad apple spoils the bushel as the old expression goes. Love the video.

[@WendyWilliamsLiving]

Mike has some terrific how-to videos! Love both your channels.

[@ibwatching9752]

I recognize those guys! so crazy you guys meet up.. love it!!!

[@LadyTSurvival]

im actually subscribed to both of you so this was a cool video

[@saprano1972]

Brian, your music selections are out of sight.👍🏼

[@OldHippieVapes55]

That was outta sight! One of the benefits of Van Life!

[@monicac5348]

Hi Brian, I very much enjoy your videos. You offer useful & interesting information. Backroads Vanner also has excellent videos. It's great that you were able to meetup.

[@bforgiveness]

Thanks for the early morning vertigo! I am just kidding, I don't know what it is, when I am actually in nature I have no problem with heights, but this bridge and the other one you did, AZ, (I think), made my stomach turn. Nice interview. I enjoy their channel too. You both put out quality videos. Beautiful park, bummer about the no pets though. Thanks for sharing, Valerie

[@janicepeck4828]

HOW COOL ! Not seen Back Roads Vanner. I will check their channel. No pets! at a FREE ,gorgeous campground. Guessing the Vann ers had to leave to walk the dogs. Great video. Awesome natural bridge. We stayed in Douglas back in '90 heading to Yellowstone. Safe adventures.Jp

[@TheBoundlessJourney]

Man, I envy these guys who have such great DIY skills.

[@weekendlovinggypsy1737]

They have an awesome canopy and had his windows professionally tinted.

[@lawsonone6015]

Great video, Brian! Love when you guys do the meetups!

[@weekendlovinggypsy1737]

I love that place and it opens back up tomorrow. yeaaah

[@weekendlovinggypsy1737]

I was there at the end of September, the last weekend they were open. I didn't stay cuz I spent the night at a free campground in Douglas. Left Ayers and drove up to Devils Tower. First time back there since I was a kid.

[@TSunshineful]

I love Mike's channel. If anyone hasn't done so yet, check it out! If I had the money, time, and skill, that's the way to go.

[@judycarey9051]

What a great chance meeting. I'm from Texas. Will have to check Backroads Vanner out. Great red rock formations.

[@ArkansasMike]

Great meet-up! Awesome video my friend.

[@ChiefinGuam]

Great meet up! I'm headed over to their channel to subscribe. I really like the layout inside their van.

[@alvinreyes2989]

so cool to see fellow youtubers coming together!

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

Another great park Brian. the bridge is awesome. what a great meetup. did you ever find out why no pets?

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Cindy Derosa I went to the campground host to ask about the 'no pets' policy and she didnt have an answer, but they had two dogs of their own in the 'host' house. She seemed embarrased of the irony.

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

they had pets, kinda funny when you think about it. Be safe on the road

[@panelvandan1057]

great video and, cool meet up! it seams odd no pets but then the host has two dogs? thats one of them things that make ya go Hmmmm ??? peace and happy travels.

[@LostOnLandAgain]

I follow their channel too. They have such a sweet van! Great meet up!

[@susanstrickland6774]

Very neat area. Great meet up. Thanks.

[@ericcrawford3405]

Great video...glad you met up!

[@101perspective]

Cool video and meet up. I can't believe they travel around in that small van with 2 people AND 2 dogs. That's crazy. They look comfortable in there though. Did you ever find out why they don't allow pets at that location?

[@darfirst]

Cool spot for sure. Loved the meetup I follow them as well.

[@Tatiacha]

What a cool little hidden oasis

[@KennethSievers]

Nice place and cool meet-up!!

[@MrJpat88]

Glad to see I'm not the only weirdo with a box on a hitch carrier! I originally tried a tool box and it blocked my license plate, plastic Contigo box from Lowes turned out to be a good plan B minus the security. They have a tall metal one I should of got but was twice the price and smaller. The ATV hitch racks at Harbor Freight have an angle to them so more ground clearance. That would be a great addition to the van! Another great video Brian.

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Wandering Patches Thank bro. I will be setting up my van with a similar setup. Im going to try to get a mountain bike on there also. Hope things are moving forward with the RV! peace 👍

[@MrJpat88]

Awesome! That will be sweet can't wait to see what you set up. That will be great to have a bike, excited to have one this time. Things are going good with the RV, don't want to give anything away but got good news on it and be good to go in a few days!

[@igneousidol]

great ideas for the counter height back rack box under canopy

[@jennyhackenberg2078]

great video and it is so good you got to meet those two. be safe, have fun and if you ever get to my area in Pennsylvania maybe I can meet up just to say hi.

[@shanash1]

Love you guys--two great channels!

[@mrbr549]

I sub you both, and this was a great meet up! Love that little park because it reminds me of an Oasis in the prairie.

[@4yellowwolf]

Love the jams...

[@JGallo-pm5dq]

Thanks for the awesome video

[@jimbrownza]

I'm betting the No Pets thing is a knee-jerk to some problem they once had, and the details are lost in the mists of time

[@eddiechavez6095]

Very awesome !

[@barbarafritchie2000]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool video

[@SteveGullett]

Pretty cool when KZbinr’s meet up. Haha!

[@4yellowwolf]

very cool!

[@nancyedwards8293]

Great video.

[@patrickjobling8676]

Fabbo guys ...😁

[@ttwillow9073]

Sure would like to know why this place is so opposed to having pets there. My dogs are seniors. One is pushing 15 yrs old. He has his canine good citizen certificate and used to visit nursing homes as well. They both are my constant companions and I would never even think about not having them with me because a place like this forbids pets. So I would never go there. Your video is enough of a visit, so thanks for that. Looks like Backroads Vanners dogs are seniors as well. It's a shame some places discriminate against our family pets.

[@ChristinaColoradoan]

Somehow I missed how to get one of your stickers. Would really love to have one 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@AdventureVanMan]

I always appreciate your positive comments! :) Here is a link for the stickers... www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=55KL9AFRK7KZW

[@ChristinaColoradoan]

AdventureVanMan I always appreciate your videos! In particular, I appreciate your love and desire to be outdoors! 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 Getting my sticker now...

[@hbuzzell]

Great video (since we can never visit there b/c we have a dog that we travel with). Also great seeing Backroads Vanner! The no pets policy is so weird and I have read horror stories about how sometimes the host that is there freaks out and calls the authorities even if the dogs stay in a vehicle. Someone must have not been responsible with their pets and ruined it for everyone.

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Heather Buzzell The campground host actually had two big dogs with them. I called her out on it and she ignored me.

[@hbuzzell]

You should read the comments and feedback on the websites about how crazy it gets. I had read those after I watched your video the other day, and when Mike had his dogs, I was like, this could be fun if they saw them. They probably feel they have good reasons for it, but maybe they should just enforce rules like leash laws and pick up after yourself.

[@markpatceg5582]

I am with the parks and rec. board overseeing management of the park. It is a very heavily visited park at times. When dogs are there too, it becomes very over crowded and issues can arise. Public safety is a concern at the park, and based on past issues, that was one concern that could be controlled. We are currently looking into a dog park at the entrance to accommodate four legged travelers. The caretakers, who are required to maintain full time residence at the park, are allowed to have pets within the confines of the county provided dwelling and fenced yard. We do regret the inconvenience of this rule, however, pets that are "SAFELY" kept inside private vehicles are welcome.

hey I have made those receiver cargo racks some for motorcycles and some for mtn. bikes I am a welder by trade and own a welding buisiness.if you happen to come through idaho I'd love to build one for you.

[@dianalong4283]

💜😇💜

[@johnmeadows5645]

pet owners have their run of most of the parks and recreation areas in the country, letting their animals crap all over the place. it's nice to see a park that bans them so the kids can have a decent clean area to play in.

[@FeelItRising]

No pets? will never go

[@BrandonDKirkwood]

You gotta meet up with Jed next aka into the mystery 13

[@TSunshineful]

He is the most enthusiastic vanner on KZbin, lol. His enthusiasm is contagious! Every video you will come away with a smile :)
