Please don’t take this the wrong way, but damn do you boys get around! 🥰😎

[@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures]

Ha! We will take that in the best way possible! Thanks for noticing.... :-)

We really like Freedom Valley Campground. We live in Michigan and spend 5 months there, 1 week each month. We were there the weekend you were and met and talked to you guy's around the campfire at the clubhouse and also attended the Yeager Games and had a great time. 😊

[@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures]

Yes! I remember! It’s one of our favorite campgrounds- and we always try to stop by every summer. Hope to see you there next season!

James, when you do yoga, do you just do it on your patio, or in the RV? I'm trying to "Begin Again" but traveling has been causing a lot of blood loss from the blood suckers. Just came back to NC from the UP of Mich. and camped along the Mississippi. Talk about dense mosquitoes. Suffered 5 bites on my ankles and toes!!

[@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures]

James doesn't practice inside the RV. He tries to do it outside our RV if there is a nice clear area, but he will walk all over the campground to try to find a dock, pavilion or some other place that isn't buggy and not near a lot of people. When he teaches at campgrounds it's usually on pool decks. Paul, meanwhile, attracts every mosquito in a 1 mile radius, so he kind of keeps them away from James :-)

Brrr...

[@allenweist4483]

It is somewhat close to Cedar Pointe amusement park.

[@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures]

It is... and some people use this as home base to do a day trip there... we have yet to go there, as we don't want to leave Chompers alone that long!

[@leonohart3982]

OK, boys and watching you guys sometime. Do you have a question? Why does only the red states have all the good gay Campground and none of us blue states do like New Mexico.

[@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures]

Ha! Well we won't get into Politics, but I do think Gay Campgrounds are popular in more rural areas of the country since they are farther away from 'big cities' where there are nightclubs and places for the LGBTQ community to congregate.. Gay Campgrounds take the place of that in rural areas.

[@VHGbham]

You guys can go to normal campgrounds, you know. Your people are no longer segregated. Join the rest of us!

[@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures]

We do! Not sure if you looked at our channel, but we did a whole 6 week tour of campgrounds all over California... and later this month we will be discovering other great campgrounds on our way back west. (Does that sound like a reason to subscribe? LOL)

Hopefully you had tongue firmly in cheek when you wrote that 😂 Like James and Paul, I have indeed had many pleasant experiences with straight people at state parks, BLM lands, and private campgrounds, but in America today GLBT+ people cannot just assume that they will be accepted (or even safe) in amongst the general population. For example, it was just in April 2022 at Canopy Oaks rv park in Lake Wales FL, that another camper threatened to call management over the fact that I have a 1 inch by 6 inch rainbow sticker on the back of my RV, claiming that I was a “groomer”. Or this past May, at Trail of Tears state park in Missouri, where I was having a perfectly pleasant and normal conversation with a neighbor who immediately whisked his whole family inside their camper when my husband came over and introduced himself as my husband. I’m certain that you are very welcoming of everyone you meet, and your message of inclusion is encouraging to see, but understand that for GLBT people, especially those who don’t fit gender stereotypes, when vacations are limited to maybe one a year, with a choice between a destination that will definitely be welcoming and inclusive, and a place where one has to try and appear “normal” to minimize the risk of a negative experience, choosing the GLBT campground is the safe and easy choice.
