Free camping in Colorado near Durango- RV Life- Sleet and Rainstorm in an RV

[@CarolynsRVLife]

In this video I show Sadie's Marrow bone on the stove. I DID NOT COOK IT! I parboiled it to kill any bacteria. She's fine. The bone is not cooked!

[@barefootreba]

Wow that sky is beautiful

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Yes Carolyn, I can relate. I am a major introvert and I always have to prepare mentally for everything.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yep.. that's very true.

[@tracidavis8991]

me too!

[@karendotson230]

Me, too!

[@tcweedon]

The anxiety it creates, makes it not worth the effort. I'm cordial but not chatty.

[@ROSIEH007]

You know, when you have a beloved pet with you on the road, you are never alone. So good to see her enjoying her life and thriving. You find the most interesting places to go to! I would not want to pass up a mineral hot springs bath. Stay safe!

[@LillyofSooth]

It is the same when living at home...having a beloved pet with you at home, you are never alone. And, honestly, I prefer a cat or dog to a human...less conflicts, no one telling you what to do or what you are doing wrong...companionship with no judgement or demands...except at feeding time ;-)

[@SharonSandlin-s6p]

Sadie looks so cute with her little paws on the dashboard looking out the window ❤

[@anitaedwards7417]

I like being by myself A week ago I celebrated 3 million miles if you haven't figured it out I'm a cross-country truck driver I'll be retiring in 7 months I've been working on my RV can't wait to get out there and just relax

[@PupsforLIFE9]

Loved 💕 the ears going up on Sadie when you said “Marrow bones”! She looked very sad when it was raining and she could not be outside. Finally getting one of those bone?? Yay! Mom is SO good to you! Enjoy your travels, Sadie! 💕🐾

[@cfinstr]

Watching your channel saves me a lot of gas money:-)

[@CarolynsRVLife]

:-)

[@sisterearth]

I just love your little passenger with her paws on the dash staring out the window. She is so sweet

[@scottmcfarland2149]

I totally relate to having to mentally prepare to be around people. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻

[@proudtexan5513]

Sadie is AWESOME!!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Woof!!! :-)

[@DeeIsFierce]

I love peanut butter on celery sticks for my snack and carrots, and broccoli raw and cooked

[@HappyLife693]

I am a nut butter nut. My favorite is by a company called Georgia Grinders. They have a hazelnut that will make you want to slap your mama. But, I found that I was gaining weight with the little nibbles of nuts or nut butter (especially the hazelnut butter). My other favorite is called Fix and Fogg Everything Butter and I don't seem to gain as much weight with it.

[@michellelyon3149]

Our family has always used Philadelphia chive cream cheese spread on celery. Great snack!

[@SharonSandlin-s6p]

I admire you Carolyn you have the courage to go after your dreams 😊I need to take lessons from you 😊

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You can do it!

[@SharonBlair-p2d]

Got to add Sadie is so beautiful...her ears talk...and the way she lays looking out the windscreen

[@MBMCincy63]

I like that Bluetti item. shivering black bell thumbs up and hearts for you both

[@lynnfiegl4953]

Sadie looked so pitiful waiting on her bone!! 😂😂 Happy Camping and Safe Travels!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🐶🐶🐾🐾

[@OleScrappy]

😊 You're teaching my husband and me all about life in the wild. We can't wait to fossil hunt and rock hound them thar hills. I saw your Lil Sweetie Pie sniffing by the Juniper tree and saw those ripe berries in this video. Did you know the berries have many uses? You can flavor Gin 😊 for one, but are also flavor meats and sauces. The ripe berry is Purple-Black, but needles are also used. Dried out, they're used to fight bacterial infections, pneumonia & UTI's. They're Anti-fungal & Anti-inflammatory & much more. Keep them around in case of emergency.

[@havayorkie]

I totally get that introverted/fat girl vibe. I’m 56 and am trying very hard to live my life as a more confident woman! It’s nice to know I’m not alone. Thanks for the gorgeous video and xoxoxo to Sadie❤

[@privatesuzie4071]

Road life not for me, until you film when it is raining and hailing and brewing a cup of something….then I close my eyes and ASMR it! The sound is so cozy.

[@MistHawk-66]

I do love celery and peanut butter ! As your choice in music, and Sadie keep smiling ,having fun ! much love 🩵to you and Sadie! Be safe! Be kind! And have peace!

[@cynthiam3319]

What a cool go bag. Bluetti has some very innovative products. I enjoy seeing video of places I can't travel to due to the high altitudes. Thanks for the beautiful views. ☮️

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I'm amazed at all the wonderful innovations Bluetti comes up with. This backpack is really very cool.

[@Vangobetsy]

I don’t know about fat girl phobia I don’t know about being introverted, but I can say being out in the world. Sometimes you just don’t wanna talk to people and enjoy your surroundings without having to having a big pissing match about who has done the best and the most and oh my God, I’m so marvelous crap I’m with you girl less is more, great video💙👠💪🏽❤️🐾

[@HappyLife693]

I'm glad you brought up your change in diet. I have noticed over the past three videos that you look like you have lost weight and appear to be feeling better. Good for you that you have found what works for you, for now. Your needs may shift in the future. This seems to be working.

[@aryan1956]

Yes, I'm just like that. Have to prepare myself to deal with people... even people I know. Ever try red lentil bread? Plenty of recipes on KZbin. Red lentils, cottage cheese, eggs, I think baking powder. Don't remember. I haven't tried it. Looks good tho.

[@literaryvan6143]

Those people also want to experience nature. We do too, that’s why we watch your channel. 😊

[@richardthomas1743]

Hello Carolyn and Sadie! Looks like you got some backing up practice in LOL . Bluetti has some awesome products out there and the backpack looks awesome too! Thanks for taking us along and thumbs UP! Vote BLUE !

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Hi Richard, This was my second back up in CO. The first was my first night there. I literally had to back up like a mile on a narrow, sandy desert road. That one was rough too. LOL I've gotten pretty good at it, thank god for side mirrors. :-p Go BLUE... have you seen the coverage of the MSG rally tonight? It's disgusting.

[@richardthomas1743]

@@CarolynsRVLife I just caught wind of that. He and his cult are beyond disgusting. Off Road Carolyn, LOL OH you have a couple of really good shots of Sadie! Shes beautiful!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

woof!!! :-p

[@Sarah-zv9ug]

Enjoyed your video it’s getting to where I don’t get uptight worrying about you and Sadie, like the time in Alaska when you were hiking and off in the clearing was that grizzly 😮 praying he didn’t see you but how could he miss you!? So glad that you have slowed down in the beginning you hiked a lot, always worried that a rattlesnake was going to get you😅

[@Watermusic0709]

Aw Sadie❤❤❤❤❤ She has soooo much expression! What breed(s) is she? She has stolen my heart!

[@bridgetoconnor7229]

I definitely have more energy when I enjoy more fruits and veg each day. Your hummus veg wrap looked great! God bless you in your travels!🙏

[@portiamartinez9002]

Hi Carolyn love Colorado was there 2 times,in 1968 and 1976 ,yay still got good memories 76 yrs young now,ill ride along with you ,o crap you just now 📫 it,love you & Sadie ,my cat does too ❤

[@Lynn.L.]

Hi ....Me too I'm also an introvert, I socialize maybe twice a year...have a couple of glasses of wine(which I never do normally)and I end up having a blast???😂by the way Carolyn, your not fat😊

[@padraigmortimer4142]

😂 can you say marrow bone Sadie? The ears love it!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

LOL

[@TeresaJones-hr4gc]

I missed you for a few days😂

[@katebriggs9301]

Good afternoon guys! Hope you two are well today! Sending happy vibes from the Pacific Northwest 🌲❤️🌲 P.s. I absolutely loved how lady like Sadie was with her bone! She is just the sweetest lil girl!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Hey there!

[@sallys2423]

I'm following a CDT hiker (Kelly Hays Hikes) and they did a zero in Pagosa Springs. The trail close by and the town are beautiful.

[@Brenda-i2k]

Hi its so pretty there sounds like your close to the highway but still very pretty 😊

[@MagicianNoriginal]

Sadie waiting for the bones😁So cute! Hot springs is a great idea for someone who is on the road so much. Thank you Carolyn!

[@craftytraveler9238]

That is a beautiful area. Hubby and I were at Great Sand Dunes National Park in mid May of 2021 and had snow. I got video of the sand dunes with snow on them.

[@budgetwithfatima6530]

Great scenery ❤❤

[@A.girl.and.her.dog_]

Just left Turkey springs blm and also buckles lake, between Chama and Pagosa. Never had trouble finding spots. Saw Two Bear while hiking at Turkey springs. Made me the happiest camper ever👍Gorgeous views. Love that area

[@julietschida9114]

I love eating broccoli with a good humus. Much prefer the stalks over florets 😊

[@AllYouNeedIsLove601]

That wrap looked so yummy. So enjoy watching you prepare food. It’s always looks so tasty and healthy looking. Gotta start making my own hummus too. 😋

[@Amie9176]

PS has gotten too crowded. I loved a day trip up there in the 80’s/90’s we had the place to ourselves. Last time we tried to stop there was a trip to Telluride Blues & Brews in 2010 & it was crazy busy.

[@faeryhill1]

Hi Carolyn&Sadie 🎉❤

[@AwayToMeBus]

I have a leveling app on my phone, works great.

[@faeryhill1]

Watching Sadie eat that Marrowbone made my heart sing 💖💓💞💕💫

[@jgplmp1984]

she sure perked up when Carolyn said she bought a marrow bone 😊

[@cindysmith6612]

Thank you for the lime tip ❤

[@cathleengross3474]

I loved your photography especially of the clouds.

[@pamellis6497]

Yes mamm live in CO. Just can't handle crowds anymore. Live in small community. Will never drive to Denver. Ever

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I was shocked at how crowded CO was. Every place I went was like Grand Central. Even places I had all to myself a few years ago. Wow.

[@barbarajeanne8351]

That hail was something! 😮

[@alicejump2290]

Always take me away on your adventures! Especially on my down days, I can experience my old dream!

[@candylee6104]

I loved pagosa springs.

[@AllenCheck]

Hi caarolyn good you found a nice spot to camp, thank you for the tip with the limes i finally found at yhe local meat market like 5 for $150. Deas getting the dingles for almost a dollar but i left them in a plasticc bag and they turned color and even got mold on them wasted a few, dontt like that. But i know whaxt to do with them now thanks again l do believe sadie knew what the marrow bones were!

[@lizzshields8086]

Hope you take advantage of the hotsprings off the rock side of the river or the hippie dip!! It's free there! You can always get a shower at the community center $4.00! Unfortunately you can't camp in the park area but people do spend the day there!! There's several forest roads along the road! I stay off 84 on a friend's farm sometimes but love the forest roads close to town!! Happy travels!! Be safe

[@conniekotnik-abel4200]

If you don’t make it fun, it won’t be!!❤

[@marialourdesparedes1494]

Holaa srta me encantan sus videos !!

[@jonigeszvain3084]

I did not know that about lemon and lime. Awesome. Also always have them on hand then. Very cool

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Hi, just discovered that too. About my lemons I put them I slice them up and put them in the freezer so I have them already sliced.❤

[@lindaknight-archer414]

I iove Natural Grocers and also Trader Joe's ❤

[@kaymccain1593]

This is such a beautiful video All the scenery was so awesome, and I love Sadie!!!❤

[@susans7091]

Love SW Colorado, Great to have a backpack power station

[@charlottewilson4680]

I did not know that about lemons and limes. I am going to do that. Thanks!

[@raynaduggan2083]

Is that a ham hock? Suddenly I'm feeling the need to get my pooch one of these but haven't the slightest. They're just sold at a meat counter? Lol at myself. Nice seeing Pagosa area again. I hadn't been in a few years but always liked going through that area.

[@flightofthecrowswing]

Peopling is exhausting! That's why the only hot spring we've ever visited was a nine mile hike..... and there was still a weird guy that showed up while we were there! Since 2020 you need a smaller rough road capable 4x4 camper to get remote enough so you can get away from people.

[@PrincessofErised]

I think you are in a Catch-22. You create awesome content that makes the nomad life of solitude look so awesome that everyone wants to live it so it gets overcrowded and loses its solitude. And also, you have to talk to people via video or the grocery store, just so you can be alone afterward. I have always looked at it as the universe maintaining balance, kinda a yin-yang thing. Life and living... such a wacky thing.

[@dianaj3139]

It's really beautiful there! I lived in Loveland area up North many years ago and always wanted to travel further south to experience the differences.

[@Judamac]

Hi from Canada.Sadie is a real sweet dog.Thanks for another great video .

[@FLR1131]

You look nice and healthy. Your hair is gorgeous.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks! Being back on the road again is good for me. I hope you're doing well.

[@NomadicArtist-p2q]

I grew up in Colorado. ❤

[@theresamariegoesplaces9688]

Great video as always! ✌️

[@joanmesser7829]

Lots of people have the same idea…find a remote spot!

[@Heather-s8t]

Awesome content

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@lisawyer7524]

Nice camping spot even with the traffic. Glad you were parked during the hail.

[@johndidier7849]

Very good review video....They need You in Their booth at shows🍒🍒

[@michaelamaestas4950]

It is going to get cold and rain / snow in Southern CO. this week . I live in ABQ, NM 87107 . We host folks who camp. Mother Bosque Garden . Hugs

[@TeresaJones-hr4gc]

And I finally moved into my rv❤

[@SharonSandlin-s6p]

Carolyn you have made this old woman’s day I so look forward to seeing your videos 😊tell Sadie I said hi beautiful 😊

[@CarolynsRVLife]

woof!

[@paulacriss6451]

I wish I could remember what I was watching on KZbin but the national forest service is not hiring any seasonal workers other than firefighters in 2025 I guess you could Google it that means a lot of things are not going to be taken care of. Glad to see you're headed back West hope you had a good time with your Mom.

[@Jaantoenen]

Cheers😊

[@halleluyah757]

Probably passed up eastern Oregon by now, but, you could STOP by for a visit

[@cherylsibson2529]

Carolyn, I checked out the Blueetti they sell them in Canada at Walmart and at Canadian tire - you picked a lovely spot! Thanks for sharing!

[@Kayte...]

Love hummus! So many ways to make it. Pesto too. (Yep, w/o dairy)

[@TTidewater41009]

I must have just passed you, I’m heading back to upstate NY after two glorious months on the road. I love living like this! I spent a day at the Springs, 3 days ago? Glorious.

[@TheYukonnahanni]

Good to see You, back on The Trail Again !! ~~ All the Best to You & Sadie !! :)))

[@tammykutschall4240]

I enjoy your vids. Leveling your motorhome is alot off work. You veggie wrap looked mouth watering. Stay safe you two.

[@annetteanderson1933]

Just a small thank you for all your work.💙Thanks!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you very much Annette!

[@poges]

My cousins daughter lives near there so I was thrilled to see the town. I'd love to visit Colorado.

[@resinartbycatherine6314]

Maybe the dog smells your frustration and that's why. I know with my own dog she's the exact same way with certain situations because she knows how I'll react

[@pursleydl2009]

I enjoy your food prep. Looks yummy.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you 😋

[@RussellNollenMusic]

Thank you for sharing this! ❤

[@m.d.grimes1622]

Enjoyed, thanks Carolyn. 😁😁😎😎👍👍💙💙( 9 days and counting)

[@lauriesteely8681]

That's a really neat product

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Isn't it??? I'm always blown away by Bluetti's products. They do an amazing job innovating power solutions people can use.

[@SharonBlair-p2d]

I live with 3 dogs chooks and ducks in backyard..l am happy being with animals..l feel there love

[@patriciamckean4186]

I am also adding more fruits and vegetables. I also am trying to add lots of water too. I do eat meat. Limiting intake though. On the road to healthier living.

[@A_Betty]

Jonathan, glad to see you back out there! Love the Tacoma set up. Mid-size trucks are the best. I put a USA shell on my truck, influenced by yours. Still love it. ❤️ thanks again.

[@DSCSF52]

I used to give my dog the raw bones and he loved them but then I noticed his upper and lower canines were getting worn down because he chews them so aggressively so I had to stop giving them to him.

[@kelisee4274]

I live between Bayfield and Durango. There's a free "hippie dip" hot springs under the bridge on the rivernin Pagosa . And .. there is a lot of camping. Any National Forest or BLM road... I'm originally from Eagle, Glenwood Springs area. Beautiful country.

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Humus and veggies are my favorite snack foods for summer. I want to buy 50 acres and build. I want to plant an orchard, gardens and put in a root cellar for food storage. That way I don’t have to travel and I don’t have people on top of me.

[@wendymaclean6364]

Dips are great with fresh veggies, helps me enjoy them. I've never had an issue eating fruits. Also an introvert and need to prepare for going out. Love your videos ❤

[@marydawkins4190]

I just came south from a week in the Grand Canyon then 3 nights to regroup on groceries, etc. Perfect daytime temperatures and manageable temperatures overnight. I'm just a few miles from Black Canyon City. Nice and warm. I love Pagosa Springs and I still love the area around Durango. Durango its self has gotten too touristy for me. Enjoy!

[@AndiCat14]

Marrow bone!! 😃
