If you love watching creators visit national parks sign the petition to tell them their law requiring A SINGLE KZbinR to get the same permit as a GIANT HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION is ridiculous. Sign the petition now! chng.it/LD7W8nMFvX Patrons play a HUGE role in helping me make at least 2 videos every week for everyone to enjoy. Join the club! www.patreon.com/CarolynsRVLife

[@bethschenk2851]

Signed it happily. 😊❤

[@janete6439]

Not paying for your own lands makes sense. Anything else, no I wouldn't fall into the trap of giving up freedoms to get something. That also makes no sense. Stick together and say no to paying anything except normal national park entrance fees.

[@lisamillard1272]

Done 👌

[@shelbyh40]

good for you on looking to nutrition to help with physical ailments. I was diagnosed with MS 18yrs ago and took a hard right turn on how I ate. I am now med-free (thanks goodness as they were thousands each month), neurologist says If she didnt' know better she'd say I don't have it. Lowered my stress level and removed processed food, increased my activity. Life is good and Im grateful every day for finding what works for me.

[@bus_bigbuford4989]

I love finding old places of the past. Love to imagine the goings on there when it was in it's prime. About the people who held those old broken bottles. Drinking from that bottle and being refreshed from its contents. I found an old broken arrowhead while digging in my garden one day. It literally sat me down and I was blown away at the thought of it. The hand that made it. Was it used to kill an animal that fed a family. What they were like. The fact that my hands were holding it now so long after. And that my ass was sitting on actual ground that those who made all that possible lived. You can really take a deep dive into things. And it really throws reality into your face. In a good way. It makes me wonder the future finders of things of us. Thanks for a great video Carolyn! Boops for Sadie! 😎✌️🐾

[@bthomson]

That camp clean-up is impressive! Very little left behind. Really like the crunch of the footsteps and NO MUSIC. Thanks Carolyn!

[@NomadNana]

Heck yeah!! Can't wait to get out and there and explore! Thank you for taking us along and allowing me to live vicariously through you all these years❤

[@papasmurf1904]

Such a joy to sit back and relax a spell watching your videos. For me, they are a great escape and stress reducer. We just all have wayyy to much stress and anxiety going on these days.....not how I envisioned entering my 60's would be.

[@26skogen]

Heck yeah! Plan on camping, fishing, and hiking with my dogs this summer.

[@clvalentineshaun2541]

I just left Palm Springs. I'm always a week ahead or behind you Ms C. I'm in the medical field. This is my second assignment without my camper and I. Feeling it!!! Grrrrrr.!!! Praying i can get it back on the road soon. Enjoy and thanks for this spectacular footage.

[@alicial6072]

heck yeah!! I think the piles of rubble were the sewer pits, if you notice in the picture all the buildings were up on stilts I'm wondering if the sewer system they put in was just pipes sitting on the ground running over to the deep holes, and where you thought was someone digging might just be a small cave in where the ground wasn't compacted well enough, pretty cool history.

[@roxsanambrosini2449]

The sound of the gravel as you walked is one of my favorite sounds in the world..Just as my K9's eating their kibble is the same sound..

[@eyeswideopen1158]

Hello Carolyn. Thank you for sharing this amazing trip with us! So pretty and exciting. 😊

[@rburgert2]

Been watching you since I was in NE Pennsylvania. Now in NW Oregon camping in the woods. Bob and pups

[@goldenlass9488]

Sweet Sadie was stunning gazing at you with glowing eyes from the purple chair! The image melted my heart 💜 Could make a fabulous framed photo for mom, and calendar page for her fans! Do you paint? Would make a lovely portrait as well 🥰

[@deb7518]

Sadie has such a regal head and profile. She always reminds me of those ancient Egyptian sculptures and drawings of the dogs with Nefertiti or Cleopatra and such. In an unrelated subject...I was just wondering if you ever worried about possibly being on grounds that might have once been used for nuclear blast testing, etc.? Are areas like that clearly marked, or are some and not others? I've always wondered about that, especially after learning that so many movie folks who filmed in areas like this out west died of cancer. Susan Hayward and John Wayne were two, but there were many other actors and crew members later associated with specific atomic blasts and movies bring shot who died. Susan Hayward's biography tells how they'd all go out to watch the day's blast after their day's filming. They called the wind that blasted out in the afternath of the mushroom cloud 'Dirty Harry'. I also wonder if the current cases of Valley Fever in people and pets are some aftereffects of those atomic testing days. I know they warn you not to disturb the soil too much in certain places or let pets dig there. I figured you might know all about the areas of concern out there.

[@aurorag76]

Heck Yeah!! You've been inspiring me to live this life for a couple years now. I bought an RV and did a two month stint in it. Now I'm ready to go for longer, maybe a year!! Thanks for all of the great videos. 🤗😊

[@markparr7224]

HELL YEAH! I was in AZ in 2008 and I wandered around in the desert a bit, but not nearly enough. It has been calling me ever since.

[@padraigmortimer4142]

Found your channel a couple months back and have been enjoying catching up. I grew up In Michigan (and Canada), and moved to California for 25 years. San Francisco for ten years lived north for a while but then lived with my brother on and off in Morongo Valley near Joshua Tree for years, lots of time in Palm Springs with my parents, now I’m in upstate New York. Guess I’m a nomad of sorts just not on wheels. So anyway have been enjoying your stories and your videos of Joshua Tree and Michigan. Thanks 🙏

[@samhandley1]

I lived in the Desert for 20 years. Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Yucca Valley, we would visit Joshua tree often. The trees are Palo Verde trees. They can grow into beautiful large trees if they are watered regularly but out in the desert they can look like big bushes. For the meet eaters at Joshua tree Saloon they have the best grass fed Burgers it’s a fun bar to visit. The town of Joshua tree is a fun little funky town.

[@jlynngaertner]

Hey there. As a mom of a neurodivergent child and someone who is neurodivergent themselves I just wanted to say that it has been disproven than changes in diet, specifically removing gluten and dairy among other things, has an effect on autism or adhd. Autism is a neurodevopmental disorder and it is not known what causes it but is suspected to be genetic. Adding more nutritionally dense food to your diet is good for everyone 😊 Just wanted to throw that out there. I love your videos and following along with your adventures!

[@louisemartin7728]

Hi Carolyn, thank you for a great video and tour of the desert. Also, I love how you filmed yourself working in your campervan, with the music and overhearing your videos which I assume you were editing at that point. I am supposed to be gluten free and gave up with all the 'fancy' gluten free 'flours' that were expensive. However, my favourite is GRAM FLOUR also known as Chick Pea flour. Just add water to the flour in a clean jam jar, give it a good shake, pop into the fridge for an hour or so (important to create a good batter) then fry in coconut oil. Just before frying you can add savoury things like salt, tumeric, ground coriander and my favourite, cumin seeds. Alternatively you can add sugar and pinch of cinnamon. These are called GRAM CAKES but they are like pancakes. I usually serve them with a home made curry but try them with a little sugar if you like and see if you like them. Gram (Chick Pea) flour is relatively cheap compared to all the other gluten free flours, at least in the UK they are. I have problems with most seeds in foods and was told it's likely to be the pesticides (and processing) which inflames my already delicate digestive tract. It's good to go to rivers after heavy rain, and when the excess water has dispersed as it churns up the river bed and reveals some treasures in the way of old pottery. I expect the original dwellers of the desert left no trace. Peace be with you. It's always a pleasure listening to you on your videos Carolyn xxx. My very best wishes to you. Louise in Lancashire, England xxx

[@goldenlass9488]

Chickpea flower is a fabulous protein source! I’m a vegetarian and was delighted when I learned of it. ✅

[@sutpremblair1438]

Spent years wandering around the California desert with a friend birding, looking at wildflowers, and other wildlife. Best way to enjoy the natural world is camping in out of the way places. Check out Obsidian Butte in the area of Salton Sea general area, can't camp there but an interesting natural place.

[@videomusingsfrommotorclaw5570]

omg, I loved exploring with you! What a cool video. Thank you

[@sutpremblair1438]

Camping with friends is yes basic tribal safety instincts, plus more options for sharing food, fun times and cozy nights around the campfire.

[@texcinlulu]

Heck yea! I love to hike around. Especially when no one’s around. I love all the flora and fauna. Wildflowers are my favorite. Thanks for sharing🌞🦋♥️

[@lisamillard1272]

Desert is so majestic ❤ tty Carolyn for videos..

[@heartradiant]

heck yeah!!!😊look at that!!!🤗What fun. Thank you Carolyn!❤

[@lolasaxby1399]

Heck yeah! Love exploring- thanks for sharing!

[@PrincessofErised]

Most laws recognize degrees of impact. Driving 50 over the speed limit has very different consequences than driving 5 over the limit. What is really ridiculous about this over-encompassing law (and the irony) is that a big production company can afford all these hoops while causing the most devastation to the park. Whereas a single person recording with a hand-held cell phone makes no impact and has to pay a disproportionate fee. Sometimes logic leaves the building.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Exactly!!!!

[@AnMarie711]

Heck yeah! I start looking down at the ground and that's it...I'm looking for stuff. Next thing you know it's 2 hours later when I surface and it's like "whaaat..I wandered that far?" Haha

[@kathleenj1158]

Hello from So CA! ☺️🙋‍♀️

[@debraraythompson3126]

Heck yeah! Love it! Hugs all around!

[@annmarie9213]

Heck Yeah.... Doin' it! Thanks to you!!! 😊

[@thizizliz]

I hike in & around JTNP a lot & love it. Modern trash we pick up & carry out but the stuff you found, I leave as artifacts. Heck yeah - it's fun.

[@robertleadbetter3635]

Hi Carolyn when I was on the keto diet I found that coconut flour makes the best pancakes !

[@treeartist9705]

HECK YEAH. Love to walk and explore anywhere.

[@deesyfert5181]

Yeah I enjoy wandering in the desert and finding old things and cool rocks.

[@sutpremblair1438]

Phacelia is your early spring flower in the So Cal desert.

[@annschmidt4536]

Heck yeah!

[@mtnpeek6748]

Don’t the parks realize that channels like yours bring more people to the parks. It’s great advertising for them.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You know the government.. they don't think.

[@irefusetoaskmydoctorifyour6401]

Maybe, they don't 'want' more people coming to the parks. More people = more trash, noise, conflict, wear-n-tear, vandalism, etc. If nobody comes, then the rangers and staff can keep the wilderness and solitude for themselves! Just a thought. 🤔

[@gavinsnana]

Thank you! Carolyn I love watching and feeling like a part of your exploration and discoveries. I found this on culinary lore: “The term fifth, however, comes from when bottles were 4/5 of a quart, which is the same as 1/5 of gallon. This term is used when referring to liquor.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Wonderful!

[@michellec8273]

Yep. I knew that because my Dad always bought a fifth of Jim Beam whiskey.

[@26skogen]

Those were the days when Coke really tasted good. When I was a kid you could get a bottled Coke in a cooler that looked like a chest freezer. It was filled with cold water and lots of bottles of Coke. All bottles were returnable for a refund. We used to go around the neighborhood with our wagons and collect bottles. That’t how we got money for our penny candy. Good memories.

[@craftytraveler9238]

Thanks for the video. I did the same thing. In 2021 I did video of Joshua Tree Naitonal Park but in 2023 I just took still pictures. The law is stupid and I hope it gets changed back again.

[@janete6439]

Love your channel, Carolyn! Keep up the good work.

[@maryannbillings7385]

Very interesting really enjoyable

[@justlivingmylife]

Heck ya! I will enjoy doing that.

[@Brookethenomad]

Can’t wait !!!

[@doristaylor9386]

For us folks that don’t get to see the different places makes us so upset … we love your videos!! Those rules are ridiculous…… maybe they will change them one day! Keep up the good work! Doris & Doug Chattanooga Tennessee

[@LyndaWana-ox8rf]

Heck yeah! Gonna do that.

[@lauriekershnershoff2575]

I admit I don’t like to be all alone in the middle of nowhere… but I DO enjoy visiting different parks and places exploring as such…

[@richardweaver9682]

You are in Camp Young of the Desert Training Center. Camp Iron Mountain along Hwy 62 is fenced off from vehicles and most of the footpaths, roads, two chapels and a map of the traingincenter preserved and accessable. Easy on Hwy62 out of JTNP and a few miles past the turnoff for Desert Center.

[@maryswanson9982]

I’ll stick to the rivers and lakes that I’m used to!

[@heathergentlyinthewind806]

I love your adventure walks😊. I had no idea you couldn't film in national parks on your own personal equipment.

[@philguziar1408]

heck yeah!!! been there done that.

[@deb7518]

Sadie has such a regal head and profile. She always reminds me of those ancient Egyptian sculptures and drawings of the dogs with Nefertiti or Cleopatra and such.

[@bettygarcia5963]

HECK YEAH!! I'm gonna do what you're doing very very soon!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Awesome!

[@AnMarie711]

Squirrel! I saw something flash on the ground after the coke bottle! Haha

[@GolfMissouri]

Great video

[@triciakelliher9767]

Heck yeah! Show us what shoes you wear so you don’t get bit by rattlesnakes or other creatures in the desert please. Also loved the time you took to do the overlays to help “see” the history.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I wear low hiking boots, ankle hiking boots, crocs, sneakers and sometimes I even go barefoot and have never seen a rattlesnake in the 1000s of miles I've hiked.

[@donnac.1609]

Heck yeah! Not so much for me......but for others who are able!! Go....walk.....breathe.....find..... just rocks if nothing else!! Touristy places are fun but you pay the price......This country has lots to see! History to learn.....and experience!

[@manueldecortez8998]

Vegetation Looks vibrant Heck yeah!

[@wendymaclean6364]

Hell yeah, love exploring when hiking and camping 😊

[@rosedzindolet-faith5092]

It almost looks like old medicine bottle glass or maybe old beer bottles lol

[@brianheffernan8982]

That was an interesting video, Carolyn. I would like to go out there with a metal detector. Have a wonderful week.

[@ejd52]

An article in our local paper discusses a recent change to the filming laws for crews under 5 people and 2 vehicles. If you'd like, I'll be happy to drop a link here or by direct message if you'd rather.

[@rrrt01]

HECK YEAH!! Was born in LA in the early 60's and spent a lot of time in the dessert with my dad. I'm going back...someday. When I retire probably. It is magical out there.

[@mgf723]

Heck Yeah!!! I love that kind of exploring.

[@sharonc8764]

Great video 😮

[@tinaperez9756]

Hi Carolyn, Buckwheat is actually a seed and not a grain an it's considered a non inflammatory food. I think you're ok sticking with buckwheat.

[@cargotrailereric6738]

I can’t say no to a puppy face.😂

[@karentalley4591]

I love watching your adventures, but, how do you keep from getting lost out there during your walks? I get a bit antsy if I can't see my camper, n yet you appear to go much farther.

[@Jeanny346]

Check yea! I have done it many times!

[@daveogarf]

Fascinating! Wish we could've seen it back in the forties, just after it had been abandoned. You're an excellent tour guide.

[@beaming_life_travels215]

Heck yeah - can’t wait to get out in 🇦🇺 desert. Bring it on!!

[@brendap9425]

I would love to walk in the desert like that. But I just don't understand how you and Sadie never come across snakes...id be so afraid of rattlesnakes!

[@marycooper2557]

NICE video.did the area get taken down when done.

[@lindarussell9781]

Military uses P-38 to open cans of pre-packed food. Might not be as long ago as you imagine.

[@paige_n_neri]

My brother and I used to be "explorers" in the woods when were kids. This reminded of that fun ❤

[@luannbiegala996]

Heck yeah!!

[@texaslady7630]

I would like to be a dessert ironwood and live to be 1500 years old. "I think" lol. Carolyn and Sadie, I loved the video. So very interesting and your knowledge of the vegetation, history and terrian is amazing. I have one more jar left of the green chili's I won on your live video a while back. Have enjoyed so much :)

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Hi Texas Lady. So glad you enjoyed this video - and the chilis!!! :-)

[@charlottewilson4680]

New to your channel and loving it. What do you do for internet on the road?

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Welcome! I've done videos about getting internet on the road. You can watch them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SpoGeZf6t5lac and here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpOnp4apjM6Ibbs Enjoy!

[@indigoblue4791]

FYI There's no "cure' for autism. I'm on the spectrum and have two children who are too. Being neuro diverse is our biggest strength and just how our brains work. There's challenges interacting with a world that's set up for neuro typical's, for sure. We don't need a healthy diet anymore than anyone else does. Our bodies behave in the way. You put the right stuff in and it works properly, you don't and the body struggles, simple. Really caught me off guard too hear you say that Carolynn. Thankfully people are generally better informed these days.

[@turtlegram31656]

Oh yeah, heck yeah!!!!!😅

[@cyntiaspadafore1457]

I bet there been a lot of people come through there partying and looting and whatever just after the camp closed, which would account for some of the glass and plastic
