I SAID I WOULD NEVER COME HERE ~ Doing Desert Life ~ 667 Days of Van Life

I have always said I would never go to Quartzsite. Well, I went.
Come and see an Ironwood Tree that is over 1,000 years old.
I will take you through a Slot Canyon, and camp on the Colorado River.
Grab your favorite beverage with snacks and snuggle in for this week's Sweet Vlog!

[@bs80.02]

Mindy where are your pearls? I don’t think I have ever seen you without them! I lived in Tucson for 25 years and my parents lived in lake Havasu!

[@NinthElement]

Good eye. They were broken for a minute, but now repaired into a new beautiful necklace. AZ is beautiful. Cheers!

[@elsathal7359]

Thank you for sharing your journey ✌️💞🤟

The Mountain views look amazing. Love road trips so much! I live in my car life and KZbin and hope to do what your doing soon. Thank you for showing us the beautiful Earth in your eyes ❤

[@NinthElement]

Good luck Brittany, Cheers!

[@kimmyj9617]

Nice hike. Thanks for letting me tag along… virtually…. ✌️❤️🥾🥾

[@NinthElement]

You are most welcome Ms. V. Cheers!

[@theicangram]

The temp probably dropped lower than the 2? am temp,as it usually drops to the lowest around 4 am so at 0730 it was probably just starting to warm back up.

[@NinthElement]

Thank you, Cheers!

[@Mwoods-vl4kb]

Hey Mindy, great adventure as always. Does David have a channel? I'd like to see how van life is with a Labrador.

[@NinthElement]

Hello, David does not have Social Media. He really enjoys traveling with his dog. Cheers!

[@sandybiluk5479]

I was wondering, as a solo driving female and some of the remote places you go, do you carry or have any self protection? PS: I enjoy relaxing with my coffee in the mornings and watching your videos. They have a very calming effect. 😊

[@NinthElement]

Hi Sandy, it makes me smile that you enjoy my content over coffee. That sounds sweet. I have multiple forms of protection, but, I will never discuss them on the internet or in real life. That would leave me vulnerable if anyone was trying to stalk me to harm me. I also use my intuition, meaning if something feels off or not right I leave that area. I hope to see you here next week, Cheers!

[@douglashoward5738]

TGIF Mindy enjoy your time at Quartzsite. Cheers

[@NinthElement]

Thank you Douglas, have a great weekend. Cheers!

[@bobbycampos6576]

We have a very cool hike with a slot canyon in Lake Havasu where I live that dumps you at the lake.

[@NinthElement]

You are in Havasu Bobby? What a beautiful place. Cheers!

[@bobbycampos6576]

@@NinthElement Yes, thank you so much. Feel free to come visit anytime. The wife and I have 3 Elements ourselves including an 04 Galapagos. 😜👍🏻

Hi mindy. Good to see you. Nice sunrise you had there! Sometimes i feel like im related to that ironwood tree not really ,hope your having a great day! Hi from nm!

[@NinthElement]

lol! I feel like I am shrinking in height 1 inch a year, and expanding around my waist. Cheers!

[@mycocoaone]

I personally do not care for quartzite. Never went there this past winter. No decent groc stores, few restraunts so only Lake Havasu for me.

[@NinthElement]

If you like to party in a third world setting QZ is the place to be in the winter. #word Cheers!

[@julesknows6254]

Well that was sneaky...kinda funny

[@NinthElement]

Stealth Baby! Cheers!

Keep an eye out for pack rats in the Arizona desert. You don't want them in your vehicles. I love the puppy.

[@NinthElement]

I have heard about these. So many people get them in their rigs. I am going to invest in solar spot lights for under the car. Cheers!

[@mythicalnomadadventure969]

👍 Rock on 🙂 Mindy ! Hope to get to see ya' here ? WELCOME to Q.

[@NinthElement]

Thanks for the warm welcome. Keep your eyes open and maybe we will see each other? Cheers!
