I hope there wasn’t anything bad in the stamp sand. I wouldn’t think so if they’re putting it on the beach, but I’ve seen worse.

[@bettylou3709]

I think the word you were looking for might be slag.

[@kathyadam9932]

Love the horn idea 😂🤣keep sharing small towns and the history. Feel like I’m there. Hugs

[@lynettehodnicki5240]

I've noticed a change in you over the last few months... Your spirit is lighter and happier. Wishing you much peace.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

That's funny. A few others to me I don't seem happy lately. Lol. But yes I'm enjoying my travels and do feel light and 😊 😃

[@sabracrouse5893]

Like looking at all the buildings and stuff along the way. It's fun traveling with you it's not boring. It feels like I'm there. I love it say hi to Sadie take care stay safe and God bless you

[@sunnyside9988]

Love the end of this video. Beautiful!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@janetsmith2870]

I am only speaking g for myself but I love that you are driving through towns and we can see them. I would like to visit those places myself. Thank you.

[@laurenkeon3267]

Beautiful. Loved the ending. Kinda made me teary. Wish people could just see this beautiful world, embrace it, and take care of each other.

[@barbarajohnson2893]

I enjoy seeing the towns you go through. Sometimes it feels like a drive through history with you narrating the way you do. Your travels would be a great way to learn some of our history without feeling like we're in school. Sadie is such a joy to see. That sunset was absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing it. Safe and happy travels.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Barbara!

[@Ekinnajay]

Wow, that last image of Sadie with the sun setting was magical! And I definitely enjoy all the little towns you pass through and seeing them. It's fun to see how other people live.

[@kathleenj1158]

I genuinely do enjoy seeing the towns that you drive through. 😊🙋‍♀️

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Awesome. Thanks 😊

[@bevtrue6937]

I would want to stay there a LONG time. Awesome.

[@Sharkurash]

I've never had the chance to explore a lot of the state, I so enjoy watching you pass through and give a little history. I look forward to seeing the East Coast through your and Sadie's eyes. Don't be shy about sharing that.

[@marshaiula7282]

I love seeing the town's you drive thru. My husband and I hope to someday be nomads, but if not we are traveling thru your videos. Glad your tires have stopped giving you trouble.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Marsha! Hoping you can enjoy nomad life soon as well! Until then, stay tuned for more adventures. 😎

[@oceanlover3530]

I love the footage of you driving through various towns! Please keep posting! Thanks Carolyn! Stay safe! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻

[@daveogarf]

LOVE the quaint little towns! And KILLER incidental music, too!

[@DebbieGring]

I have a lot of family in Michigan, and love that state! Have camped there many many times over the past 60 some years! Hope rest of your trip is/was good!

[@tonisuesmith6125]

I think part of why we like you driving through the little towns is you get excited . we can tell that you are really enjoying yourself Carolyn. That makes it more enjoyable for us. We're seeing places we have never dreamed of . most of us live in cities anymore seems like. So showing us where your driving in these little towns is exciting. Some of us forget there are still places out there where people still live . I like small town life . I also like for there to be a good size town around an hour HR and half away to do shopping. Thanks for sharing these places with us

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You're welcome! Thanks for traveling with me!

[@wynonastroud6525]

That was a beautiful video, I think I'm in love with the UP too.the sunset was so special, great ending

[@vickyhargrove1096]

I love the horn idea. I have wanted something similar!

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Carolyn, these videos are outstanding! I absolutely love seeing small towns and getting a feel for the place. I would love to see the UP after seeing all of your videos. Very well done and beautiful music to go along with beautiful scenery. Just wonderful! 👍👍👍👍👍😁

[@lindamyers9736]

Lake Michigan is my favorite Lake,, thanks for bring back so many Memories for me

[@tdhawk167]

Love to see the towns!💕

[@vickyhargrove1096]

And I love your driving through the towns. I live in lower Michigan which I love, but also love the UP.

[@moandjen]

Love that sun setting on the water. Always my calmest moments.

Hi Carolyn, Sadie..Beautiful scenery, sunset.thxs for vlog.

[@howardmoses6280]

Glad tires fix.hope so

[@suemartinez715]

Your attitude is awesome.

[@mikeniemi]

Thanks for taking us along! BTW, my Dad was from one of the uppermost parts of the UP. Grand Marais. His family made fish boxes on 600 acres, My aunt and uncle had the only store in town.

[@gerbearjones6056]

I love your sense of humour and humility..... but that infectious laugh of yours is the bomb

[@Kimmbberr]

That closing shot was simply gorgeous. I absolutely agree with you about the small towns, they are super cute. I am absolutely going to visit the UP because of your videos

[@aspiringhope1496]

It doesn’t matter what town you go through as long as you are there you make it interesting. I love when you walk and talk and Sadie is so happy running around exploring.This video was so beautiful at the end. It looked so serene. Yaaaay! Your tires are fixed! ❤️Love from Alaska...Anne

[@BlueSpirit.]

Beautiful music and sunset.

[@Carol-qi6me]

I ❤️ your videos! I honestly love watching you drive through the towns taking in the scenery as you go. They're places I'll probably never see so I appreciate you letting us tag along!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks for joining me Janice! Glad you are enjoying the adventure with me!

[@rickybeaver310]

I also love the small towns in the UP so keep on showing them . Now I know I need to change my valve stems thank you

[@hipdogdsv]

Omg....when we built our house in 1975 I kept picking up nails at the home site. Grrrrrrrlfriend, I had 21 flats in less than a year!! I could jack up my 66 Chevy Bel Air , take tire 9ff, get new outta trunk and be done in under 5 minutes. All my friends still bring it up anytime anyone has tire probs, lol.

[@laurajphillips]

Very nice!

[@jericheatum9474]

Beautiful!!!

[@RoseGrace100]

Love all your videos. Gives us so many ideas of stops to make. I also love when you video the small towns. Thank you Carolyn!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching Carol!

[@jackybaynes1648]

I’ll say it again, love the driving through towns bits 😊

[@user-js9gn2hw9s]

LOOOOOVE SADIE!!!XOXO AND U,OF COURSE! THAT SUNSET YOU CAPTURED,IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!

[@russellhancock9765]

I am glad that You finally got them fixed. I had a 1985 Plymouth Reliant and it came with Good Year Vector tires and they were like a magnet for rocks and nails.

[@patchworkmermaid]

Thanks for the footage of L'Anse, MI. I've never been there but talk to people from there often.

[@justicedaicy]

Oh! Tires on the RV are the bane of my existence! We used to travel in a Bounder motorhome, and were forever blowing tires along the way. Spent the night in the parking lot of many a tire store. Nice to hear they tire shop took such good care or you! Sure love the scenery that you are showing in all your videos.

[@jenettes.7961]

I love that you tell us about the towns snd the historical information I’m from Kamloops BC Canada 🇨🇦 and will never see these places . I travel through your eyes. Do keep it up I love it❤️👍

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Glad you are enjoying traveling with me! Thanks for tuning in!

I love seeing the Towns You drive-through.. Just beautiful take care Is God-bless

[@kenhuth1762]

You are right about the small towns in Michigan. They are so nice and clean. The same can be said for towns in Wisconsin and Iowa. Having lived 60 years in Illinois and recently moved to Texas for family obligations I really love the videos of those states. Thanks

[@lisarogers4034]

Love this video ❤️

[@ruthannbiernot9856]

Beautiful view of the sunset!

Your videos of the UP are so beautiful. Bucket List. Hugs to you and Sadie.

Glad you like them!

[@michellebarlondsmith6243]

I wanna be a Sadie dog in my next life, that sunset is/was the money shot! Fabulous!

[@brianc.843]

Looks fun!

[@carro4479]

I love it when you film small local towns...Bad Axe, Michigan was a small town where I was born. My cousin is the mayor of Bad Axe. I have been told my family is a long line of my maiden last name mayors of Bad Axe. Keep filming and smelling the flowers along the way on your very picturesque journey with Sadie. Smiles and hugs.

[@moondancer5115]

You've captured the Pure Michigan vibe beautifully 😎❤🙏👋

[@jenniferrae6646]

😊We pronounce that as 'How tin' here Carolyn! 👍. The tyres, wow. Thank goodness sorted for you, at last! Sadie girl, so happy skipping along the edge of Lake Superior! 💜🐕 and those smooches! 😙

[@sleepycalico]

Yes! That town is beautiful! and the shore is beautiful. It's just the extremes of weather--humidity and snow--that would get me to me.

[@pattin4015]

So glad that you had a good experience at the tire shop...that is so rare, to walk out and to feel like a very good day is ahead of us after the visit. Liked your idea with the horns - to agree or not agree with signs posted...funny! A concept hard to grasp tho in L.A. Love small towns. Sadie is having the time of her life!..and oh...beautiful sunset!!

[@eyeswideopen1158]

What a gorgeous sunset! Such a pretty place, thank you for sharing with us.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Of course! thank you Eyeswideopen!

What a beautiful video and the sunset was fabulous.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Michele, it was such a gorgeous sunset! In fact every night at that lighthouse there was a sunset crowd who came just for that. I highly recommend that spot if you're ever in MI!

[@warrenweisfus709]

Somewhere (sorry can’t say on KZbin) south east of L’anse is a boondock river crossing campsite. At this camp experienced the most awesome, memorable natural beauty happening of all the years I’ve travelled the U.P.

[@alexandragoodwin8655]

Hello Carolyn , I use to have a ooga horn which I purchased at harbor freight store. It was for my 96 cheve truck. I had the greatest time with that horn. I miss it and my truck still. Easy to install. I hope you do get one.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Very cool! That would be fun to have! Thanks for watching!

[@russelbaird5499]

Glad you had a good tire experience . You were due for one after suffering so many disappointments . Stay safe , have fun .

[@QuiltGeek]

Like everyone else l’m enjoying all the small towns you are going thru. Would love to live that laid back lifestyle where you know your neighbors and shopkeepers. But then I picture them in the winter covered in snow!! I’m a So Cal native and would never make it…especially at age 74!! Definitely on my list now for a late summer or early fall trip. Thank you!!

[@nancydenmark1614]

Maybe a horn that sounds like a raspberry? Me too. I like seeing the old towns and the old architecture.

[@RoadArtAdventure]

Great sunset. How many times have i stood on the shores of Lake Erie in Cleveland, watching the sun go down and waiting for the green line... which I have never seen.

[@tdhawk167]

Beautiful footage of the "Sunset with Sadie"! Sounds like a song! 💕Or a series?😊

[@goofeyslove2822]

In mid May I picked up my new to me RV in Oscoda Mi. And drove it all the way back to Venice Calif. I couldn't stop and sight see as I had pets waiting for me to return. It's definitely on my go back and visit list when I can take my time. There wasn't one town that I didn't want to return to see especially along the lakes there. Thanks for having the time to record them for us to see.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You're welcome Vicki. Glad you are enjoying the MI vids! Thanks for watching!

Wow Carolyn i like that area. So pretty

[@karenroe6270]

Yay !!!! I haven't seen the UP even though I lived in Hibbing Minnesota, very near Virginia. My Dad was such a creature of habit. Our summer vacations were the same. I love traveling with you 💕 when we start to travel more my list is going to be long. Have a blessed week. Love & Light from Washington state 💖🌟

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Karen!

[@gailjohnston6102]

You are so right. When you said the older you get , the younger people look around you. I look at sports and the players all look like they just got out of high school. Plus ,I just spent a fortune on tires for my truck . But I got good quality, and I hope they will be worth the price.
