HE DIDN’T TELL ME! An Unexpected (and Surprising) Ending in My Camper Van (RV Life)

I had an unexpected and surprising ending in my camper van - RV Life. Dave didn’t tell me something and caught me by surprise during our 1,500 mile RV life trip from Nevada to Texas in our van. Couldn't believe the energy of Here’s what happened.

Hi Tanya and Dave, love, love, love re-watching the videos!!! 😊👏💞

[@allisonfields6357]

We drove across the United States from California to Florida to drop off our son for the Disney college program. We stopped in Winslow, Arizona, Santa Rosa, New Mexico where our son jumped into the big blue hole. We are from Santa Rosa, California, so that was very cool to us. We stayed in Tucumcari New Mexico, where we cruised down route 66 listening to oldies music. In Texas we stopped at Cadillac Ranch. Although our trip was done in our sons car, the experience that we had driving across the country was truly an amazing one!

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Sounds like an amazing trip Allison, thanks so much for sharing! We stopped at Cadillac Ranch the last time we drove across.

[@mrs.c5471]

My husband and I had friends in Santa Rosa, and we stayed with them on our first trip to CA. What a beautiful town, and perfect home base for our journeys up and down the PCH.

Those were bear prints when you camped near Flagstaff. FYI: When you know you are going to be going up in elevation, increase your water intake a week before, and add an iron supplement to your diet (help create extra red blood cells) for 10 days (the week before and first 3 days at elevation). You will reduce the likelihood to experience elevation sickness while hiking around.

[@angiemolina6497]

If you are in New Mexico the first week in October you can come to Albuquerque for the International Balloon Fiesta. It will blow your minds. It’s so much fun and they have RV parks but they go fast so maybe look into 2024. I would love to see you guys there.

[@emwa3600]

If you're driving between San Antonio and El Paso - west of Fort Stockton - there's a small town 10 miles off the freeway named Balmorhea - "BAL muh RAY" with a wonderful crater-like lake, and a canal running past li'l cottages. So beautiful. It's worth the side trip.

[@janefromtennessee]

Good cook, good food. Yes!

[@racquelthompson5013]

Those prints looked like bear paws. I could be mistaken there are large dog breeds that have huge paws as well. Did you get a picture of the prints would have been able to ask a park Ranger their opinion on the prints. I love watching you and Dave always a joy to watch and having fun, and enjoying the the local eats. Where ever you're journey takes you it is all very beautiful and it is what I love the most, traveling with you both and the kitkats. Be safe much fun and God bless this beautiful world we live in.

[@jewels3256]

Its definitely some sort of giant dog or wolf, bear paws usually have five toes and you'd see the back paw tracks.

[@lisaglassford9574]

I like both styles of your videos. Keep them both going. Learning along with you on your towns is fun. Educational. But l love just watching both of you just exploring and cooking or eating at the local specialty spots. I love you guys!😊

Nice spot you found! What a great breakfast outside in the cool mountain air! I'm so jealous! We aren't headed back to Arizona until end of August. Those are probably coyote tracks. Cats don't have visible claws in their tracks.

Have you guys been to Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas? My husband and I spent this last weekend there hiking to Arkansas tallest waterfall, cedar falls. We stayed in CCC cabins at the edge of a cliff on top of the mountain. The campgrounds for rv’s are just as beautiful. The park is amazing. I highly recommend it.

Hi Tanya and Dave, just another day of re-watching your videos!! Tanya I went to a work conference in Texas many years ago and I too rode the electric bull. 🐂 It was maybe like 5 seconds and I fell off!!! I love spending some of my day with as I always say...THE BEST COUPLE EVER!!! From Tricee in Virginia Beach, VA ⛱️⛱️ ⛱️⛱️

[@hgj2019]

In Winslow, you missed a great stop! “La Posada” is diagonally across the intersection from the “standing on a corner” attraction. It is a Classic old Harvey House hotel lovingly restored. It features the “Turquoise Room” restaurant and lounge (FANTASTIC FOOD!!). It is both a historic and current Amtrak stop. The building is beautiful, with a rich history of housing notable historic figures. Visitors may freely explore much of the building, and it is fascinating! I consider it to be a “MUST SEE” AZ attraction. AND…if f you are headed east plan your arrival in Holbrook to coincide with mealtime and visit “Mesa Italian” on the north side of town. Small, charming, and GREAT Italian food! Then head over for a quick tour of the petrified forest . AZ is SUCH a GREAT STATE!

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thanks for the great tips! You are the second person to tell us about La Posada, we definitely have to check it out next time! We will also add Mesa Italian to our list!!

Thank you. No you didn’t miss anything. So Dave never shared the full plans of this trip with me so it was pretty much a surprise the entire time!

By the size of the tracks if it’s a bobcat it’s a good size one (we had a few on our farm years ago)

[@marthagaluszka8888]

Yep, it's a cat. Any larger track and it could have been a puma/mountain lion/jaguar. They do roam parts of Texas but this was definitely a bobcat, also known as a lynx. They are common all the way from Canada through Mexico. They are not on the endangered because they are common. We had them on our ranch in Oklahoma, where they could be shot if they went after the calves, but they mostly hunted quail and other ground birds, mice, rats, etc. If they didn't bother us we didn't bother them.

Deep in the heart of Texas! I haven't heard that since grade school. It was a short spooky little joke/story. I used to remember it all word for word and loved telling it to friends who never heard it. Who remembers the whole thing? I forgot it. Gotta Google. Always good to catch up with you two 💕

[@maleficent973]

Found it! It was the first day of school and this girl's teacher asked her what her name was. She said "Texas." The teacher said, "Haha, no really, what's your name?" and the girl said, "Texas," so the teacher said, "Go to the principal's office." The principal said, "What's your name?" She replied, "Texas." He said, "Funny, what's your name?" and she said, "Texas," so he sent her home. As Texas was walking home, a guy stopped her and said, "What's your name?" She said, "Texas." He said, "That's funny. No, really, what's your name?" She said, "Texas." He said, "I will stab you with my mother's butcher knife if you don't tell me what your real name is," and she said, "IT'S TEXAS!" so he stabbed her. When he got home, his mother asked, "Where's my butcher knife?" and he sang "DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS!"
