[@deebauguess4054]

The solitude makes the atmosphere seem enchanting.Thank you for giving this place the opportunity of sharing its history with us. The memories you are creating for yourself is remarkable. Stay safe stay warm.

[@tdhawk167]

Beauty and mystery everywhere you look there

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yes! It was a magical place to spend some time! I hope you're doing well in the frigid upstate temps!

[@tdhawk167]

@CarolynsRVLife Thanks! yeah, it's been crazy! The winds and the temps. Was -18F this last week! I have not been out hiking for a while! Hope your Mom is doing ok in this!

[@Berniimae]

All the warm colors on your camper makes it very cozy. Love all the textures from the rock formations. Pancakes look vert appetizing.

[@janetdeiaco7472]

Beautiful area. You have the coziest colors in your RV. You are doing a really good job living your life in an RV 💃

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I appreciate that! 😄

[@kendallwo4323]

Ugh on finding the mylar balloon in such a remote spot. I wish people who release balloons on purpose would realize the damage they inflict on wildlife and nature in general 😒

[@Travelmaryandblue]

Hi Carolyn I’m catching up on your videos and as always I so appreciate your authenticity & not being afraid to be yourself! So glad you & Sadie are doing great! Wow time sure passes fast wishing you love, health & happiness ❤ be happy, be free, be kind 🤗 love you & Sadie & all that you do.

[@karendotson230]

I love exploring! I could wander around there forever!

[@kimdolly]

I just loved this video so much! Your hike was one of the most amazing walks. I just felt how ancient that area is and could envision the 2 and 4 legged beasts that inhabited the land long ago. It was another fabulous camp, and I thoroughly enjoyed being with you and Sadie. She's such a good dog, and that's because you have given her so much love and time. Thank you for sharing your life.I know that it's not easy putting yourself out there, and I appreciate all your effort. Take care of yourself. ❤

[@SuzanneS2023]

❤ love your videos, thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@karakoppanyi3845]

Sadie was also in awe in that spectacular environment!

[@loganmckay3194]

Love how colorful your home is!And I enjoy watching you cook. I am fulltimer too.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you . Ive added these cooking segments because people asked for them for years. And most people seem to love them. Thanks for watching

[@sandralelinski4812]

I ran 12v heat tape around my pipes. Works great.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I'll have to give that a try!

[@chistinemartel9043]

I think I’m going to build my rig with out pipes and just have water jugs.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

That's smart

[@maryhartsock7792]

I had to winterize my rig in Quartzsite because of the extreme cold in the south. Relying on water jugs is a small inconvenience compared to frozen pipes.

[@caliwebb3]

thanks carolyn. I really appreciate you

[@SarahGraymatter]

Love your work

[@marilynrenaud1892]

I want your cookbook sooo bad!👍

[@rvlife289]

Awesome video!

[@TeresaJones-hr4gc]

I wanted to say Thank you for my Carolyns RV Life calendar. I love it❤

[@SandiJessen-e3e]

Soooo beautiful! I meant to say a ways back, how GOOD you are at advertising products! YOU ARE THE BEST! Your companies who have you, should feel blessed because you show the in’s & out’s of a product! Just GOOD, Carolyn!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you so much! I always try to be honest and thorough when reviewing a product.

[@stanknstabby]

The pipes in my RV have been frozen for days (I'm currently in Upstate NY). They finally thawed, so now I can do the enormous amount of dishes that have piled up. The struggle of full timers is real! Stay safe!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I feel you! The struggle is real!

[@suestokke1839]

I use paper plates when in that situation. A bit more garbage, but saves on water.

[@sandracalia5022]

This isca very interesting video. I like the way you caption in more information about the area. I think I would have kept that interesting " out of place" rock.

[@beckyprentice2751]

So stunning. Rock formations can be so beautiful and tell so many stories. Amazing how we can tell what happened so long ago. What a fantastic find. Thank you Carolyn for another great adventure. Will be rewatching for sure

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@maryswanson9982]

It must be amazing there in a rainstorm!

[@Hoshigirl0704]

Amazing indeed that rock was art and yes it was made for you. I agree maybe you should have kept it, oh well it’s still in nature to enjoy. You are the best so much to see thanks to you. Good Day!❤️☀️🙏

[@rosemariegross5555]

Carolyn can pick it up the next time she drives through.

[@marielinejuillard9495]

Amazing place❤

[@marydawkins4190]

I'm constantly in awe of the geology of the Southwest! The mountain ridges from Yuma to Quartzite are just incredible. Thanks so much for sharing this particular area...I have to know where! I think I follow you on Patreon...I'll join if I'm not already following. I agree those look sort of like dinosaur tracks! Great video 🎉

[@teakizzy]

Wonderful video as usual thanks Carolyn 🎉❤️

[@kaiya1382]

Do you watch the Trek Planner? I’m sure you would enjoy him. He has gorgeous scenery just like you have. Nice trek with you. I love that scenery. I’m in frigid Canada so this is a treat.

[@diannaharrison5931]

That is a very special place. Really cool!!!

[@penny37747]

I am watching this video at 3am and now I am hungry for sweet potatoes 😂thank for another amazing video

[@kathyadam9932]

Looks like old Egyptian art. You found another amazing place. I love geology Thank you for this beautiful find. Be safe. 🙂

[@judyrobb9850]

That was amazing!

[@phyllisdenton8771]

In NC this week has been that they getting out of tents. It’s been three or four months. Still finding people.

[@loriking3319]

Dang it wondered if they'd find more bodies from Helene and milton. Those swirls could be tsunami

[@ITellYouRide]

I’ve been debating on getting solar for my class C or a power bank and I’ve cleaned and your video has helped me decide to get the power back. I can get a solar charged power bank that I can also plug into my camper when it needs charged and not have to put anything on my roof. Thank you for testing it out for me. You are quite the inspiration.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

That's awesome! It's nice to have options and they're super convenient too!

[@maryhartsock7792]

I absolutely agree about the Bluetti. The single best feature of my Bluetti is that it can be charged up super fast. It’s amazing. I keep my starlink under my bathroom shower skylight with two tension rods. It works great even while driving and I power it with my Bluetti. (I don’t have an inverter in my rig) Having starlink while I’m driving has been useful in places where my cell signal is spotty. Plus if I am just parking overnight I have internet/TV/cell service without putting the dish outside. The quality of the Bluetti is terrific too. So glad I splurged and got one and two portable solar panels too! Finally with the addition of some things like the Bluetti and starlink I feel confident to boondock by myself just about anywhere.

[@christopherneil988]

At minute 20:38 it looks like the foot print has big round toes coming out of the big round one! I bet it was some kind of dinosaur. I love that place. Thank you Carolyn for finding it and sharing it with us.

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

Truly a magical and beautiful place❣️❣️💙🦋💙

[@annmarieschantz9724]

I saw a skull in one of those ancient ruins. It's above the writing, type stuff. It could of been left by Sasquatch I'm being serious too. What an amazing place you found!❤❤❤ No people to see my kinda campsite.😊

[@tammykutschall4240]

I have a special feeling about the badlands in Alberta. I live in a small town 2 hours from them. It feels like a warm embrace when I see the layers of sediment. I enjoyed your vid . All the best in 2025.

[@TeresaJones-hr4gc]

Next purchase will be the Bluetti

[@lynnfiegl4953]

I wish you would have kept that “rock” because I think it looked like a petrified vertebrae of some kind of animal?? But it was cool looking. What a mystical place you found to camp at. And those did look like mammoth 🦣 footprints!! Happy Camping and Safe Travels for you and Sadie!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🐶🐶🐾🐾

[@tinaperez9756]

I thought vertebrae too.

[@mufn5189]

Yes. The rock does appear to be a vertebral body.

[@loriking3319]

I thought same thing

[@karen-kv7f]

Great fan of buckwheat here. I make 2- ingredient sourdough bread out of the groats- keeps my blood sugar steady all morning. Its also the medicinal food for Blood type A people. Tastes great.

Gypsum is what out walls are made out of. Lots of it in the desert.

[@lindagillespie8040]

Carolyn,,Sadie wow what an enchanting environment! I really think you should have kept that 1 of a kind rock😊 I am going there,i really need too! Crazy,right? Be joyful you 2,❤

[@jean-paulmorin913]

I respect your choice of leaving the special stone , fossil or not in place.

[@justjo1711]

I buy a vegan protein shake that is pretty good (a little sweet) that I drink when I want a little more protein. The brand is OWYN. You can get the shake in 20 grams of protein or 32 grams. It's great for a fast protein infusion without cooking! Very interesting terrain where you are now. We have some places in Utah that are very similar. Do you think those tracks could have been someone walking in big boots when the ground was very wet? Slipping around would enlarge them.

[@freedomfinder5196]

Burros??? It’s beautiful there. Thanks for sharing.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yes, there are wild burros all over Southern Nevada!

[@loriking3319]

Love your test of bluetti. Eed to watch for one. 2600 right

[@wildmeadows8495]

The frozen pipe explanation was weirdly fascinating.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Lol

[@lindajohnson5779]

Another great video - one of your best! Those are definitely some kind of footsteps. Great find . . .THANKS! But you need to go back and get that incredible rock 😊

[@jamesobrien4753]

My guess would be part of a shoulder joint bone structure.

[@tzinanechumah]

Unicorns ❤

[@dreamingmusicgal]

At one angel of that thing it looked like a golden eagle.

[@TERESAJAMISON-u3t]

Looks like a vertebrae

[@JayJayFromAZ]

Hey why is your calendar not on your wall? Lol. Got mine last week. Great pics!! Never mind I think I see it on your cabinet.

[@wmsnyderphoto]

If thinking about buying the Bluetti would compare price, looks like it is a lot cheaper buying on Amazon rather than Bluetti site.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I'm not sure which unit you're looking at, but the Elite 200 v2 is exactly the same price on both sites - $1699

[@wmsnyderphoto]

@@CarolynsRVLife Amazon showed a coupon for $600 off.

[@collinsfriend1]

An FYI I was able to get the heated vest and the water tester with a discount from Carolyns links. They really do work.

[@debliedel]

Use some heat tape around your water system.

[@Mimiw28]

Wow those ruins are so magnificent. How far off a major road do you need to go to find them.

[@gailorman426]

Very interesting, Giants use to roam the earth. Definitely ancient ruins for sure. Do some research on the Mud flood.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

That is an interesting theory. 😊

[@PrincessofErised]

I guess it is the chicken or the egg. Is the rock like architecture or is the architecture like the rock? Either way, it was amazing!

[@HannaloreJohnson]

That would be a great place to just unwind for me❤❤❤❤Love it, so majestic and peaceful!! And now you remind me, I have a bag of blueberries that we picked this last summer and it's looking like either muffins or waffles/pancakes on the list this week!! I spent 5 days dog sitting over last weekend, we in PA dropped to -23 at night and after the people left, the 4 dogs ran to shed, and barking, and a dog in shed barked! I called them to find out that the MIL who went with, but didwant to pay for me to watch her poodle, put him in the shed, no blanket, no heat, in a crate!! Took him out, I thought he was gone, but an hour later,he came around! When they came back, she didn't even come to get him, just left!! So when I left the next morning, I took him with me! A week later now, and still hasn't even called them or nothing!! Guess I have me a poodle now, house broken, and now is starting to gain weight because he does like to eat!! Love the video, and happy to see Sadie, she is such an awesome fur baby!!

[@tinaperez9756]

what is wrong with her doing that to her dog? What a disgusting woman! Shame on her and glad you rescued that poor dog.

[@lynzeemckay3722]

DERBY LINE VT, ❤ I just watched a program on this US town that is on the Canadian border, you can drive on one side of the road in U.S. and the other side is Canada, and there are cameras everywhere so no crossing over. It’s a beautiful place and if you have never been there it would be a great bucket list place to visit that would make a great program, it’s fascinating and a beautiful place. Watch on KZbin.

What kind of protein powder do you use?

It was Yeti foot prints in the mud....

[@mayjan74]

That Bluetti is $1700. I can’t even come close to affording it, even with a discount. I’d love to have it though.

[@dreamingmusicgal]

Question... The solar panel you always have out is that what you use to charge the Bluetti only and what is the wattage on it? Hope this question makes since and not stupid. I ask with being older alone no body to help and with tons of medical issues and using a cpap plus having 3 furbabies I need something. I've started prepping long time ago foe things but haven't bitten this part one the cost and I want/help to know what I need to live on. I do not trust I'll/we'll have power from day to day anymore with jacka$$ in office.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Hi Musicalgal, it's not a stupid question at all. I use the Bluetti Pv350 watt solar panel to charge my bluetti. I think that and the Elite 200 would be perfect for your CPAP and other needs. Good luck! shrsl.com/4tnry

[@sharonmansfield3053]

What peanut protein powder do you use? I looked a past videos and didn’t see it listed. I’m looking for one that isn’t very heavy processed.

[@RebuildingDreams28]

How many watts of panels do you use? I will be going full time soon for on the road work life. Thank you.

[@OneRedDragonfly]

The mud (calichi) in some southern NV areas will literally give you cement shoes and leave divots like that. Ask me how I know 😂

[@CarolynsRVLife]

LOL! :-p That's a good point. Someone could have walked through there when it was wet. I didn't think of that..

Is the AC adapter on your affiliate page? I dug around on there and didn't see it. Anyhow, if you put it on there im happy to use the link. I looked at my variety of adapters and somehow i dont have one.

Thank you for sharing information you discover regarding the places and things you find during your hikes. When I visit such places, I like to imagine living there at the time when it was populated in the past...What would life have been like?

Foot prints were wild. Dug fossils, dinosaurs, and dino foot prints in Western MA. It was wild

[@mariondiemert430]

14:33 were those gold specks? This was one of my favorite of all your camp sites. Thank you so much for sharing it with us, hugs to you and Sadie. After Hurricane Harvey here in Texas, it was really just days of heavy rain and the wind was not that bad, but we had no power for almost three weeks. I ordered a Generac stand by generator. My son Chris, a c6/c7 quadriplegic, his body took over the temperature around him. He spent many an hour sitting in his car with the ac on. We no longer could live that way.

[@debliedel]

Bigfoot in da house!!!

[@RVthereyetmemaw]

Is this a crate of a volcano before it was a sea, or covered in water? The place is beautiful! I love playing with old machines what’s wrong with the generator?

[@diannateller5675]

Are you sure it’s 1/8 inch fixture? My rv is 3/8 inch and the parts are more expensive. The newer rv’s are 1/2 and I’m in the process of changing everything over to 1/2. If you don’t use the outside shower you can always just cap it off or use a metal shutoff valve. I did that and used shark bite clamps with a metal shutoff valve I did screw it to the inside wall with the end of the hose pointing up just in case because of the gravity feed and have never had any leaks
