My name is David and with my dog Lefty we travel the country in our ambulance conversion RV. I made this change to my life and you can too! Like, subscribe and comment! Lefty would appreciate it - he wants the adventures to keep coming!
The Campulance is a 2002 Ford E450 Marque Commando 164 Class III ambulance powered by the Ford 7.3l Powerstroke turbo diesel engine and a 4 speed 4R100 transmission. Lefty is a 68lb American Staffordshire Terrier (best I can tell) that came from the Verona Street Animal Shelter (www.vsas.org/) in March 2014 at the age of 9 months. We have been living full time in the campulance since July 2019. #ambulancelife #vanlife #staffordshireterrier

The cut open rocks are geodes. I once camped on a small island that seemed like every roundish rock I picked up was a geode, and most of the flat rock was fossilized conglomerate. Took a few cool souvenirs home from that trip! The geodes were all filled with mostly small, iron-stained, clear quartz crystals. Some of them had walls thin enough that I could break them open with just my hands.

[@meatdog]

Those rocks are called geodes.

[@RandiG63]

Lefty really loves every scent. It’s really hard to believe he’s 10 🐶 💕 I’m sorry but, those vendors were rude about filming. It’s a public place and they really have no say about it. I appreciate you being so considerate and respectful. Just really came off harsh. Would like to hear the rest of your flag story 😊

[@debvoz]

I always wonder what they have to hide if they don't want their stock filmed. It seems like they must have something they think would get them in trouble.

[@sjf67gto]

Oh jeez it must be about 10 years since I changed that to the Gadsden flag and the the meaning of the Gaston's flag is is why I like it and it's today it's just like it was back in 1776 the government is treading on us all the time, hope that answers your question oh and give Lefty a pet for me he's a real character:-)

[@sjf67gto]

@@debvoz I don't think it has anything to the product they're these people are just afraid of cameras or maybe they're on the 10 most wanted list lol.

[@johnadams7323]

KAREN 😂 she probably LOST business because of the statement 😂

[@UCEBuster]

@@sjf67gto The Gadsden flag predates the formation of the U.S. government and came to represent the unity of The Thirteen Colonies against the British. It mostly retained that unified colonies and then United States sentiment until the Civil War, when it began to be used as a symbol of division. Since then, most modern uses of it are still intended to be divisive, not overall unifying. By many it's used to signify, as you say, an opposition to the unified government we collectively choose, not opposition to an enemy nation. The U.S. government exists to ensure rights for all Americans, even as individual states seek to take them away. The Gadsden flag is more about "me", or "my group", now than it is about "us". BTW, I'm pretty sure @RandiG63 was talking about David's unfinished Confederate flag story, not your avatar.😁

I love a good flea market -- always looking for something. Must be hard to season that cast iron in an RV. If someone says, "We don't allow filming," you should say, " Oh, stolen merchandise, eh?" with a smirk, before shutting off the camera.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

I was a little surprised to hear that... its a pretty wide open space there.

Concerning filming in public places in Arizona.(A flea market is a public space.) I've included a cut & paste concerning filming in public places. I'll include the website where I found the information: Your rights as a photographer: • When in public spaces where you are lawfully present you have the right to photograph anythingthat is in plain view. That includes pictures of federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police. Such photography is a form of public oversight over the government and is important in a free society. • When you are on private property, the property owner may set rules about the taking of photographs. If you disobey the property owner's rules, they can order you off their property (and have you arrested for trespassing if you do not comply). • Police officers may not generally confiscate or demand to view your photographs or video withouta warrant. If you are arrested, the contents of your phone may be scrutinized by the police, althoughtheir constitutional power to do so remains unsettled. In addition, it is possible that courts may approvethe seizure of a camera in some circumstances if police have a reasonable, good-faith belief that itcontains evidence of a crime by someone other than the police themselves (it is unsettled whether theystill need a warrant to view them). • Police may not delete your photographs or video under any circumstances. • Police officers may legitimately order citizens to cease activities that are truly interfering with legitimate law enforcement operations. Professional officers, however, realize that such operations are subject to public scrutiny, including by citizens photographing them. • Note that the right to photograph does not give you a right to break any other laws. For example, if you are trespassing to take photographs, you may still be charged with trespass. www.acluaz.org/sites/default/files/documents/KYR%20Photographers%20ACLU-AZ.pdf
