The badlands of New Mexico are some of the most bizarre terrain Jenni and I have ever seen. We were fortunate enough to camp right at the cliff edge overlooking the gorgeous badlands of Angel Peak. Here we walked along the ridges of massive hills that stretch out into these badlands which only increased our hunger for exploration.
Lucky for us, even more unusual badlands were fairly close by at Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness Study Area. Surrounded by Native Reservation land, this vast expanse of rolling clay hills is a strange land filled with hoodoos, petrified wood, and fossils. With no real trail to follow it is possible to get lost out here, but it's okay, we weren't out here alone.
We are caravaning with Thomas and Stacy of I'm Not Lost I'm RVing and they joined us on this adventure! We split up fairly soon upon reaching the Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah wash so we could explore at our own pace, but just knowing there were friends nearby - should we get lost - was a comforting thought.

Sweetie is totally expecting one of those burritos! She was looking at you so intently!

[@bird10498]

She was hoping but didn't help herself. All the dogs I've ever had would have been on those things. She really is a Sweetie.

[@shanemike3070]

22 years here in New Mexico, Love it. Belen

[@MatthewSemones]

Full Time RV Life agree's with you guys, you look relaxed and happy. Thanks for sharing your journey. I don't mean that lightly. I know there are times when you just don't want to edit another video, shoot another video, drag stuff out, put it back, drag it out again... really, thank you for all the trouble you go through to bring us the fantastic footage!

[@donnymcglasson8332]

I grew up in Cuba, about 85 miles south of there. Worked all around that area and loved all the magnificent scenery but OMG, seeing it from the air is incredible. Thank you so much for this video. WOW, absolutely love it.

[@tammymcdowell9469]

LOVE this video! Good one Jenni! They are not lost David, they are Rving! Thanks for sharing this with us! Love these travels!

[@FateUnbound]

Hahaha thank you Tammy! 😊😁

[@marybachmann]

Some prize-worthy drone shots there!

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you! 😊 -David

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

OMG those shots were breathtaking!!! Loved them!!!

[@philjames3163]

Angel Peak, just south of where I live! Nice!

[@benjaminray2425]

Can see angel peak from my house 👌

[@bird10498]

As always, such great photography. Fly that drone! Nice to see your guys personalities coming out, going beyond just being presenters. So many great moments but my favorite was when Jen was complaining about being lost in the desert and her husband was probably dead and you, Dave, just walked into the frame from behind. Don't know if that was staged but either way, it was pretty funny. Poor Sweetie didn't get any breakfast burritos but she was too much of a lady to just help herself. Good dog!

[@dub5355]

Oh this is where the guy threw a rock at the drone. Love you guys. Keep it coming.

[@FateUnbound]

Yep! This is where it all went down haha. Thank you! 😊😁 -David

[@7jimtemple]

David, you are getting to be the pro with that drone. Adds such value to your video. Keep up the good work and say hi to Thomas and Stacy for me. Love their channel too.

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you Jim that is really nice of you to say! 😊😁 Unfortunately we aren't caravaning with them any more, our videos are about 3 weeks behind real time.

[@davidbuchanan9812]

Such beautiful camera and drone video.

[@N-Scale]

New Mexico has many hidden and beautiful places. Mike

[@MattHughesRealtor]

Jenni's joke was quite funny!

[@FateUnbound]

Hahaha at least you thought it was funny! 😅😋 -David

[@janedelaney7]

New Mexico has always been one of my favorite destinations for road trips. Your drone views are stunning. As someone who's interested in geology and fossils, I enjoyed seeing the geology of the area...definitely fossil country! Yes, I've been briefly lost a few times in that type of terrain, especially on cloudy days. Thanks for sharing.

[@UncaDave]

Amazing geography! Another have-spot to check out, Thanks!!!! Film work with the drone was unbelievable!

[@buster5211]

wow Dave Greatest Drone Shots EVER!!!!!!!NICE

[@ronradabaugh5000]

Loved the drone footage. Great area !

[@travisadams4470]

The vehicle remnants you found are RV'ers who DID get lost!

[@earljmaui_boy2546]

* * * I believe you're right. . . and they never made it out alive... they're in the dried-mud bank... * * * Until that time. . .

[@joulemine]

🤣

[@synsilver3315]

Hey Jenni & David & Herd, enjoy the video which were very informative. Please tell Thomas & Stacy hello for me, and during the truck ride it appears that Thomas was trying to get his groove on or doing some wobbly cabbage patch version. Like you two, those " not Lost RVers " are really uplifting and inspirational. I kinda like you kind of people, can't get enough of such positive vibes. Alice looked so chilled, and Sweetie was all over that breakfast. Always, Syn Silver !!!

[@turnbullstravels735]

Love the dead not dead bit. 😂😂😂

[@WhatTheHammar]

Another excellent video, that’s why you have 53k subscribers. Keep up the good work! As many have already mentioned the aerial shots are excellent. My favorite part of your hike was the vehicle buried way out there in the badlands, it was kinda creepy, cool and very interesting. I really want to know what happened! Keep having fun and sharing it with us!

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you Mark!! That's so awesome to hear that from you. The buried vehicle was definitely strange and brought up a lot of questions. We want to know too! -David

[@jameshetfield5894]

Love it, wonderful drone footage as always. Looks perfectly professional! Thank you and stay safe!

[@MikeSalsgiver]

That was a GREAT video! Now I REALLY want to visit the Badlands..Safe travels, my friends.

[@dennisongeorge760]

Love New Mexico!

[@kylepifer9509]

The badlands in the N&S D are so different yet cool 😎

[@monicarandeen8698]

I always enjoy your videos. You take us off the beaten path. This place was outstanding. And thx for throwing in the recipe. P.s. Ally cat hanging off the corner of the counter. Made me chuckle!

[@louisekelly3243]

We enjoyed it there. The name is a tongue twister! Enjoy, nice to have friends to hang out with :)

[@stevekiemele995]

Fantastic drone footage!

[@TheCampoholics]

You two are amazing. Love the fact that you were set up right on the ridge, heck of a campsite. We are going to be there someday. We are basing a lot of our journey based off your reviews! We started our channel and would appreciate any recommendations if you check it out. Thanks! Mike and Missy.

[@djinncat]

Jenni you're so punny, and the dieing in the Badlands was like a scene from The Blair Witch Project. Lol. You two make great video.

[@UncaDave]

Almost forgot, AWESOME TACOS 🌮 🌮!!!!!!

[@waynert69]

Made the drive from Angel Peak to Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah. Yeah the road was rough, but it was worth it, beautiful hike into the badlands, didn't get lost. (And yes Jenni's joke was great.)

[@eligome8658]

T HAT t was a good one Jenny. I Laughed

[@karennadeau8251]

Wow. So awesome...thank you for sharing

[@TravelswithYoly]

Oh, on another note .... if you guys are heading to Utah instead of Colorado be sure to check out Goblin Valley State Park if you haven't already. It makes these "hoodoos" pale by comparison and it's where they filmed much of the movie Galaxy Quest. Lots of camping in the area also. We have a video on our channel if you want a preview :-)

[@rvserious8317]

You found Jimmy Hoffa!!

[@wendyfoster997]

Looks like a great campsite and the badlands look amazing but I could see where you could get lost. That recipe looked easy and good.

[@FateUnbound]

It was definitely in our top 5 favorite sites. And breakfast burritos are delicious! -David

[@LivingTheRVLocaLife]

that was funny there RVing lol loved the video thanks for sharing putting it on our list of things to look for safe travels take care

[@FateUnbound]

Hahaha well at least someone liked Jenni's lame joke 😅 -David

[@lisafleming9603]

@@FateUnbound still funny 😆

[@joulemine]

I blame Stacy for getting us lost LOL! Awesome drone footage David, if it came closer I had my rocks ready 🤦‍♂️😂. We had a good time wandering around out there for sure. It was a neat place, so glad we went during a cooler part of the year. Safe Travels!! -Thomas

[@markreynolds9570]

Your getting really good at this.

[@SNOTT8417]

Glad y'all had fun together.

[@virginialemm864]

OMG! Love, love, LOVE your drone shots! Magnificent! That’s great you’ve discovered caravanning friends. I am loving what I’ve been seeing of New Mexico... haven’t visited in quite a while. Gonna get the Navion ready for a trip there! Safe travels you two!

[@FateUnbound]

Thank you Virginia! New Mexico has some pretty great places to explore and we really enjoyed caravaning with I'm Not Lost I'm RVing. Safe and happy travels! -David

[@bcdennis1]

That's my back yard. You need to go check out Shiprock.

[@regenagroen4631]

They're not lost they're RVing LOL That's what I would've said too LOL!!!! & WOW what a GORGEOUS VIEW!!! You guys are funny!!! LOVES/HUGS to all of you!!! Say HI to I'm not lost I'm Rving, I have subed to them awhile back.. Loves/Hugs to them too!!!

[@deltabravo1257]

Might be worth getting a handheld GPS for adventure like the hike, so if you get disoriented on direction, you can follow your track log back.

[@leapnlarry]

Two of my favorite rv channels together, david did a. Great site review, but it just seemed weird having a site review without Jenny!

[@richrodeman]

Awesome video guys!

[@GamerplayerWT]

Really hope you guys get a chance to see the Very Large Array.

[@kookiesisco4075]

Wow! I grew up in the area. For the pass 15 years we've had the worse drought and often had to rescue horses and cows all up in that territory. Did you all notice all the oil pumps? There are so much fracking in that area. But that's another story. Anyways, did you find arrowheads? Well, enjoy and thanks for visiting and have a safe Rving. Ahe'hee

[@stephenfleming7918]

What a long video! Thanks so much it was perfect. Very scenic and beautiful area. Haven’t seen anything like it before.

[@peem1244]

Hi guys, Jen's lost it...too much gaming maybe! Haha. You should tie a lanyard to the drone so you can deliver truck keys, etc. to lost friends. And today Alice is a...towel. Super video as usual. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 😎

[@richardquinones5598]

this was the funniest one so far. you both made me laugh so hard

[@campingwiththecups4459]

Wow incredible !! Hope to get there some day!

[@Beckfrombama]

Wow, incredible scenes! David, you should get a pair of walkie-talkies, they are pretty cheap for some long range ones on Amazon. My wife and I use them to help back up our travel trailer. We have also found when we travel others we let them use one even in different vehicles for communication rather than cell phones because they are reliable. Cheers!

[@nancybarnett2832]

You should check out the Badlands in South Dakota and then head to the Black Hills in SD. It's so amazing there, it's keeps us going back for more!

[@My5ajz4life]

Come to Las Vegas ,NM Hot Springs and a castle as you enjoy the natural mineral water hot springs. Wild west plaza and Patrick Swayze's ranch is not far up the mountain.

8:30 GET TALL FLAG HELPS TOO! :) 21:50 Stir in some Mayo 1 TlSp for every 2-3 eggs. Makes them FLUFF UP!!!

[@dzymslizzy3641]

In an area like that with no defined trails, it would be super easy to get truly lost. I don't think I'd be venturing out there without adding one other item to my kit: a personal EPIRB beacon! And maybe a satellite phone. LOL at how Alice was draped over the counter when you got back! I have a cat who likes to sit that way on the cat tree! ;-) HA! Sweetie wants a burrito! (Butter because not only potatoes, but eggs stick to EVERYTHING!)

[@HighlanderMikeGolf]

Looks like you guys are enjoying your time with friends...you all seem like cool people. The debris in the wash that you were travelling through was due to flash flooding during the monsoon season. The flash floods can be very powerful and come without warning....especially in remote areas with no signal. Take Care and Safe Travels.

[@TeddyRux20]

Ok heres the thing....those breakfast burritos.... because your in new mexico u guys need to get some hatch green chile for those burritos. It will change your life

[@noconz0727]

All the drone footage

[@rcorn8114]

Yep! It was funny!!

[@jordanmiller9931]

Most stunning video so far!...And, it was funny too!

[@MatthewSemones]

I agree... it was funny :)

[@RVingwiththeMoracas]

That landscape is so crazy - we hope to make it there sometime. Thanks for sharing.

[@Z3nHolEminD]

Well I.D made easy,, gotta get a drone

[@stephenverchinski409]

At 16:00 if you dig you could find yourself in a Tony Hillerman novel.

[@travisadams4470]

Great Bad Lands video! You should all wear wide brim hats when out in the desert.

[@MattHughesRealtor]

Awesome!

[@FateUnbound]

Thanks Matt! 😊😁 -David

[@IrvieMartin]

Beautiful footage! I've never been so thanks for sharing.

[@ralphwoodard609]

Just heard your comment about coming into Colorado. Hopefully you can do a quick stop in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Would love to do a quick meet.

[@raymondschneider5217]

Really incredible scenery; love the drone shots of the "weird" formations (from erosion-?). Beautiful sunset, as was expected! Was there a visitor center to give some of the history of the area? Hey, Y'all (Fate Unbound and I'm Not Lost I'm RV'ing) Be Safe!

[@SuperEarth009]

Mows the time to come to North Dakota, we also have the same Bad lands here

[@DanDavis100]

That’s a great spot.... we were there last year and it was great. Did you hear the motors from the gas extraction? Unfortunately, they can be a little noisy in all the beauty.

[@solidsnakesteven]

Come down to Albuquerque

[@glennbatson7994]

Would have walkie talkies helped?

[@Big824John]

Yes, they most definitely would have! ;)

[@kellysadezwicz2430]

[@janetmedley2716]

I put Ranch dressing in my eggs when I make my burritos.

[@jamesking4308]

Awesome fun! I too loose track of time when exploring :)

[@brianmott2224]

Another great place to see some unique formations in rock and mud is Cathedral Gorge Park in Nevada. Great video once again keep them coming.

[@josephbaca6372]

You have to cross the open areas away from the wash to get to the coolest areas. It does get scary 😱 though and you do need a GPS. For me nothing in the world compares to the Bisti Bad Lands

[@juanitalee5519]

What an amazing place!! But me, I would be worried about snakes!!!

[@HSkyler]

Fantastic place!! I lived two hours south for 17 years. The reason for all that "stuff" in the wash? Because it's a wash, or arroyo, and when the monsoon weather hits everything floods depending on where it's raining. Yes, it was probably a car, or a sofa, or a refrigerator. People dump things in New Mexico, unfortunately. Hoodoos are incredible. What is the temp in your RV for the pets during the day when you're out? Thanks!

[@professorjedi1024]

love your vids and your site reviews... always looking for places to take my mom in my RV so I'm going to try some of the sites you've reviewed

[@Vlogsoup]

There could totally be bodies inside that buried car😳

[@FateUnbound]

Dang, I didn't even think of that...

[@hamey]

Love one skillet meals, thanks for sharing. Love those babies, too! 😁

[@nilobeebee]

I am deathly curious about those buried cars. You should've geotagged their location and shared it. Some other hobbyist into archaeological automobiles might be interested and we'd find out the story behind those cars.

[@FateUnbound]

I know exactly where it is and could figure out the GPS coordinates from google sattelite. However this is a protected area so they'd probably have to get a permit from the BLM office before doing any sort of digging. But I'm massively curious too!

[@deanh7190]

Could you have attached the truck keys to the drone and flown them over to your waiting guests?

[@FateUnbound]

Haha no, and there's no way I am risking losing my keys in the middle of nowhere! The drone has no compartment or anything on it. Would have been nice though.

[@deanh7190]

When you're in New Mexico you can't use salsa, you have to use red or green chile.

Nope, I like salsa too much! 😅😋 -David

[@davidh5009]

Again, great drone work of truly stunning scenery. BTW, did you notice what looked like a falcon checking your drone out just after the transition at 2:00. It's just a slashing blur unless you slow the playback down.

[@CHEEZNIP12]

Hey. Love your vids. Hope to start Boondocking soon. Question: have you done a vid on RV GPS’? Thank you :)
