[@roxalavista4917]

Sadie really is such an amazing dog, Carolyn. I’m so glad you have each other. ❤

[@Lynn.L.]

Your dog has amazing self control on your command❤for her not to touch the ball when you called is amazing ❤

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yes!! We've worked very hard on her training and she's very smart. Amazing dog!!!

[@judystephens9979]

I really enjoy watching your road trip adventures with Sadie. I am 71 yrs. Old and too old to do what you do but always wanted to. Thank you for sharing your road trips ! Stay safe !

[@bevricker4812]

I’m 77 and not too old

[@JulieTobin-Ruszczyk]

I'm 67 and to old. Don't judge others like that. We all age different

[@marydurgin5654]

I'm 76, and I am hoping I can still do well out there on the road. I so love traveling along at my pace. Enjoying the adventure!

Hello friendlies! I have been a longtime subscriber and happened to be asked a survey sorta recommendation question while looking for today’s video. I of course answered the question and saw that I had been unsubscribed. So please double/triple check that you are still subscribed. Much love ya’ll! ❤

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you for the reminder Tina!!

[@janeskey5042]

Thanks ! Long- time subscriber too I checked ☑️and still there!

[@ThePeasantsCottage]

I’m finding this more & more too. But I think in my case, when I used a different devise, my account on that defaulted to my second gmail. I found another account I KNOW I was a subscriber, and I wasn’t. I got the ‘ah-hah!’ moment and double checked to see which account I was logged into. Sure enough - wrong account. Over the years I’ve apparently used both accounts for KZbin. So ya’ll double check what account/email you’re logged into KZbin. It might not be all KZbin messing up (but we can blame them anyway😉).

[@JoanneCosmo-x9x]

This Video is so fantastic! You should get an award of how beautiful you filmed this! Please please please make more Videos like these? You just keep giving us Awesome videos all the time Carolyn. And by the way you look Awesome! Hug Sadie for me she is such a good dog so smart too!. Love the music you play also!

[@sherricollins6503]

[@jeanninebilland5708]

Carolyn, Not gonna go into how much I love turning your videos on a Sunday night instead of TV. However, I will say I choose authenticity vs. commercial videos trying to get a million views. Thanks for letting your truth be told.👯‍♂️🕺👍

[@richardthomas1743]

Hello Carolyn and Sadie , really nice video! All of the time that you have spent with Sadie has really paid off , she is very VERY intelligent!! Thanks for taking us along and thumbs UP! 👍

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you so much!

[@christyis1270]

Such a great channel. No pretentious bragging, trying to make it all look easy or making it look so difficult when one has a partner and therefore more resources in labor, income etc. Just an honest and enjoyable day in the life of a solo senior and her lovely pup. Many great moments of artistic beauty and inspiration on the way as well. Thank you for sharing Carolyn! My dogs and I thoroughly enjoy your channel!

[@Spacehopper3800]

Well said👌👏♥️👊✌️

[@pj-light-glass]

Some very beautiful areas! Thanks for the take along Carolyn! 😊

[@Lovesapuzzle]

Iowa is a beautiful state. It's very green with many quaint, little towns. If you want a quiet life away from the problems that come with denser populations, Iowa is an excellent choice.

[@colleenpiechowski8511]

Love how Sadie was waiting for her chauffeur . I have been thru Mt Pleasant a few times and just loved the old charm of small towns. Shout out to the Evergreen motel. Beautiful, clean nice people.

[@awesomeniecy9242]

I have seen a mountain, but you travel through parts of our beautiful country I know I will never ever see and the added history information is such a treat 🥰

[@asailorandhisdogslyknight5391]

Sadie is a good trained obedient fur baby you a lucky to have her❤ be safe

[@Liz-su4fs]

Been on the road for 12 years, 6÷ full time. Have a winter properly in Florida because I am old, 74 soon. Really enjoyed his video because you showed how much physical work there is to this but also the beauty. Thanks for teaching me about so many things, especially solar I am ready to get it this month 😊❤😊

[@Hankjones1]

I drove out to Colorado in 1973 with my brother. I was 18 yrs old and my brother was 16..My dad was not too happy about that.Drove up that big mountain Pikes Peak. Camped in tents along the way. Drove from NJ and made it to Indiana late and never paid, just fell asleep and woke early to set off. Nice video

[@tdhawk167]

The look on Sadie's face when you said "you can't go poddie" priceless! 💕

[@elaineedgington934]

I first saw the Rockies when I was 16 and it has been a love affair ever since! I am 76 now my ashes will be splashed in Colorado. My son, who also loves Colorado has agreed to one last road trip! Thank you for seeing things my way! 💗

[@pamplant3610]

I live full-time in my 5th wheel in the Colorado Rocky Mountains at 9,000 ft. I'm originally from Colorado and after years living in various states from Maryland, Fla., Texas, Minn., Wisc., Tenn., AZ., and Calif., I came back home to Colorado where my heart lies.

[@corbettkim1302]

We were watching your video. Our dog couldn’t take his eyes off it. He loved watching Sadie run for the ball.

[@bonniepettersen4063]

Hi Carolyn and Sadie, Loved you am doggie playtime footage❣️ The hazy morning looked so serene🫶🏼 For those of us not on the road for summer,(Alaska Residency requirement) you keep the call of adventuring alive! Thank you🙏🏻

[@sunshinedewes4277]

Why I love your channel Carolyn because you bring us Women's herstory where ever you go. And I color outside the lines. Take that however you wish.

[@arleneshasta]

Yes, we love your authenticity!

[@joyces3550]

Love your road trip videos Carolyn. Thanks!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You are so welcome!

[@sandramcd54]

I gotta take my hat off to your dedication with Sadie and making it work with a Working dog……. We once tried to buy a Red Cloud Kelpie from a Pet Shop……and were refused, as we needed to have 10 Acres or more property to be able to buy her. I’m so glad that Pet store had such dedication to finding the right forever owner for those pups, as we would have soon found out how unsuitable we were to own one!! Ended up getting a Purebred Rhodesian Ridgeback……that was the love of my life for 13 yrs …….Kudos from Western Australia ❤🫡👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@christinamann3640]

A pet store that puts in that level of diligence on the animal’s behalf is so good to hear

[@stephaniedavis7033]

That storm got everyone, I saw it coming and was shutting up the barn when the hail hit / half dollar size. The sound was so loud on the metal roof that my OTTB freaked out, ran outside, got pelleted with hail ran back in & again ran out from the noise & back in about 5 times until he saw me & the pony hunkered down in the back of the run-in shed. Glad you made it thru it, blessing always & safe travels.

[@paulablount5565]

I have been watching you along time you are so brave,

[@HowDidWeGetHere_1]

You're so generous to again share a lovely long video. You're camera and editing keeps getting better and better. Thank you for so much ambient sounds of nature. Give extra kisses to Sadie❤

[@HowDidWeGetHere_1]

Enjoyed listening to you sing along to REO Speedwagon too!😊

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Aw thanks so much 🙏

[@Toltecgrl]

It’s good to be Sadie! ❤ She looks so comfy dozing in the front seat

[@HappyLife693]

I am so glad you are tying AG1. I think you are going to continue to be delighted with the way you feel.

[@marlenemanzer1170]

I like your choices of music lately. Sadie is so well trained. Thanks for an entertaining video and some cool facts about Nebraska.

[@grimalkin5706]

Carolyn, what a beautiful video! Makes me miss my boondocking days! Sadie is amazing to watch, she’s so smart!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Hi Linda! Glad you enjoyed it Sending you a virtual hug.

[@grimalkin5706]

[@laurastrout7588]

I live in northern Nevada and can't imagine not having mountains around me . They are so beautiful hug our city.

[@jackieadams5458]

Sadie is sooooo smart! Love watching you work with her!

[@HildaHickey]

I grew up and lived on Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, TN I can't imagine living where it is all flat land, but your videos shows very interesting places in the plains.

[@kathimeadows7869]

Great video. I love how you discuss history that these towns are famous for! I am a history buff.

[@bingusbingus776]

Thanks for the ride along Carolyn it's always so fun with you and Sadie. Stay free.❤❤❤

[@rachelhaase6553]

My cat got on my entertainment and decided to watch you on the TV move cables around and watch you dry the dog it was cute

[@kathleendanford9420]

Love it that you are showing small town America ❤

[@marydurgin5654]

I started watching you as you headed to Alaska. You have changed over time. You're always so interesting and down to earth. I loved the trip through Iowa. I have family there, and I'm fr. MN. I loved your trip through MN back then. Yes, so many people just stay in sm towns like I came from, and can't imagine leaviing. I left on my 18th birthday and went west. In 83 I moved to FL. I love the ocean and scuba diving, but the mountains always pull me back I've travled back and forth 6 times. I'm 76 and ready to go again. You being so relaxed out there gives me that sense of joy and love for the open road and nature. I see you walking in bare feet and know you are so grounded. Thank you, Caroline, for just being.

[@nancyadamson6755]

I went out west last winter and got to see the mountains in New Mexico, Arizona and California. It was magnificent, breathtaking and stunning. I took many photos I will never forget the feeling I got driving through the mountains. That was my first time. I feel everyone should drive through the mountains atleast once in their lifetime.

[@cynthiamosegaard7309]

Really enjoyed this one. The rhythm just “felt “ good 😊☮️. Oh I was permission most of my life. But then I learned some things 👍

[@betb48]

Just seeing you poring the hot water in b that paper filter for coffee is so calming so many of the reasons I love this ...the little but big things...❤❤❤

[@christineG8285]

I grew up in Nebraska. Camped my entire childhood, tent to pop up to RV. Love your adventures …. authenticity … Awe-inspiring ❤️

[@tdhawk167]

My Sis had a dog that did not like to go poddie out in the rain, she got an umbrella to hold over him so he would go. I loved the photo of her, some early rainy morning, her in her nightgown and rain jacket, getting soaked, and holding an umbrella over him going poddie! Lol! She was so mad at my brother in law for taking that photo

[@mernaloy2269]

You mean pottie ?

[@Blackbutterfly9799]

Dear Carolyn....I hope that you will forever be the beacon of a true Nomad. Your journeys are so natural ..genuinely beautiful. Simply a true Nomad story...of living on the road. I've been following you for the last 10 years and have watched you transition from through the Ups and downs... through the good times and the sad times. And it's (for me) such a wonderful and heartfelt and awesome journey you have to share with us all. You are the quintessential ... True Nomad...on so many levels. I hope that you will always be encouraged and inspired to keep going.... doing what you do. Because it's a lot of good to a lot of people.... whether you know or not. You are an OG...to say the least. And I really appreciate every single time you have shared with us. Sadie is so beautiful and smart... love her with you. Stay strong and faithful and happy... across the miles. You truly have a beautiful life out there. Thank you amore. Blessings your way. Safe and Happy Travels! 🥾🚐🏕️🛣️🗺️ *Vandie Van 🚐 Wings 🦋*

Just broke my ankle and had surgery. No more camping season for me. At least I can watch your videos.😊

[@Grandmacolorsdiamondpaints]

I live in Iowa. Born & raised. My parents drove us to the Rockies all the western states when I was very young. Unfortunately haven’t been able to get back there. I would love to get an RV & travel out there again.

[@marciakipp3633]

So enjoyed this one! Both my parents were raised in Iowa. Both gone now. Iam 71 ... Also, I was born in Ottumwa, Iowa. Thank you for the 'nostalgic trip'! ❤😊

Your music of choice is the BEST I've heard you play on your channel, keep it up !! Very soothing, out me right there in the beauty of Iowa. Didn't know Iowa had so many trees.... Great video, I think my FAVORITE ✅

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you very much!

[@alicial6072]

I had a co worker from NYC who went to a climbing gym and he would go on climbing trips in upper NY, CT etc but he would also take trips out to Utah, AZ etc. every year, so your right they have to take trips elsewhere to experience real climbing. I also worked with a guy who moved to West Virginia just to climb apparently they have some of the best climbing on the east coast, who would have thought.

[@carries.9919]

Your videos are so relaxing and bring back so many memories. My family used to go camping just about every weekend We had so much fun. 🎉❤

[@HannaloreJohnson]

I may not agree with all your political views, but I enjoy your videos. I also admire your courage and I am envious of your lifestyle.

I've been a blond most of my life, and while I graduated both high school and college with high honors. I find I can play the ditsy blond pretty easily. So yeah, play that and ask for forgiveness has always worked for me. And now being over 65 I can play the ditsy old lady, too. 😂😂

Haa. Loved your comment!

[@shgascoi]

When I was in New Mexico a woman I stayed with made her tortillas directly on the electric burners of her stove. They were so good! I was impressed and since my burners aren’t electric I just put them in a very hot pan, no oil.

[@toricaple1327]

Carolyn...you crack me up😂😂😂. In a good way. I love the natural and authentic you. No makeup nor hair brushing is expected. I look forward to watching your videos. I love that you tell it how it is. I used to ask for permission..now I'm 65...I think I'ma start being an ask forgiveness person. Lol.

[@Fred-Ash]

The routine is important as any gear. Carolyn's travel days inspire me to organize better. I can already her her say..."me, organized? What are you smoking". But the truth is I'm guilty of throwing things together on a whim, misplacing half of it, and by the time the trip is over and I've done without some necessary utensil I find it.

[@RWX348]

Awesome video! You and Sadie are so effing locked in with each other, it's unreal. 👍😄

[@denisecintas4954]

I'm both, whatever the situation calls for. I've been a longtime listener and love your freedom style.❤❤

[@annarmartin2713]

Loved this video, thru my home state.You missed my home town by about 40 miles. Kalona north of Mt Pleasant which is a lovely little town. I love road trips and when you wander through the country side on back roads it is my kind of traveling.

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍🤩💝Nice video. I love history and how you include historic info in some of your videos. I love road trips and take them often. 👍🤩💝Mt Pleasant, Iowa is adorable. We had family and a farm in Fairfield, Iowa for many many years (about 30 minutes away from Mt Pleasant). Mt Pleasant has a lot to offer from a tourist perspective. 😂🤣😆I’m definitely a “ask for forgiveness rather than permission” type person. Wishing you safe travels. 🙏💝

[@barbwosmansky8263]

Yep IA gal for 73 years. Been out West through Wyoming, Montana, Oregon, Colorado, Utah lots and lots of Mountains. Beautiful for sure. Nervous driving in them. Loved visiting but felt great when I hit Nebraska heading home. Once a middle America flatlands gal always one.

In the midwest people camp every weekend and it's always been that way campgrounds would be full on weekends as far back as the 60 and 70s

[@tiredtreasurestore]

Yes! I'm from Pontiac IL. 35 miles from Bloomington IL. I've seen the mountains in VA and TN.. But have never been West. Hopefully one day. Glad you had a nice drive through IL

[@sc12351]

I’m so enjoying your adventures. I’m 72 so guess I won’t get to do this. But sure enjoying you videos. You’re awesome. My 19 year old grandson has started traveling the world since 18. Loves to backpack alone. You’ve helped me better understand his choices Thank you. Stay safe always.

[@Alexa-ud6qm]

Great training drill with Sadie! I gotta try that one for my pooch 😅

[@zebralove2840]

I never saw a mountain until I was 21 when I went to Colorado. First time in a plane, too. Rocky Mountains blew me away.

[@daynaphipps4912]

I like that you tell us a bit of history of the places you travel

[@j7286]

I think all of my extended family in Illinois have traveled out west. Many people vacation in Colorado, where I now live. They've seen mountains, desert (Las Vegas), and the California coast. Plus Lake Michigan, and Florida. People do travel. One of my grandmothers traveled all over the USA by train and bus in her 80 years of life. Never drove a car, but had been in almost every state.

[@SharonBlair-p2d]

So impressed with your dog..and you…great friendship

You were in my old stomping grounds. I grew up in southern illinois with lots of rock cliffs and hollers. This where i learned to rock climb. Then moved north to Decatur, about 50 south of Bloomington. Spent a lot of time in bloomington as it has Illinois state University. Camping in Illinois is very popular. Use to work camp at lake Shelbyville from April to October. Well be leaving Az And heading to the midwest the beginning of July. Have a fun and safe trip.
