winter car camping - hot springs and pizza - it is still cold

Everyone, Please take a moment to appreciate Rosa and all the hard work she does to give us all these camera angles❤. The angles really makes you feel like you are there.

Rosa is unconventional, a free spirit with a sense of humor. She is also adventurous, courageous and very ethical. In Buddhism we call such people bodhisattva.

Praying for you Rosa for: Safety and protection. Good health and strength. Kind strangers when you need them. Deep calm sleeps. Clarity of mind to treasure the wonders of your adventure.

[@Juju-l3o]

Amen 🙏

I really hope you never quit your lifestyle and always travel in your car even as a part time. Please don't stop sharing your adventures. It's sad to see how many van/car life Chanels disappeared in 2023. Your sense of humor and wondering soul brings a lot of joy to so many of us, I can"t wait for your PCT chapter, that's gonna be insane !!!!

[@nacho_panda26]

Making pizza on the back of your car in below zero temperatures is amazing, I can barely do that in a kitchen 😂 the best thing about winter is watching you find awesome hot springs!

[@tommycanuck]

Excellent weather for hot springs - It's understandable :D

[@fredricjulien8738]

Rosa, you're just as much a part of winter as the snow-covered pines that line the road. The steam that rises from the hot springs, the chains on Elrond's tires for traction, the frozen olive oil, mouthwash turned slushy, and your frozen hair sicle. Thanks for showing us the pristine beauty that surrounds the hot spring. I got worried when you started eating that pizza, I thought the toppings were gonna slide off onto your lap. You handled it like a pro. Your love of winter and hot springs truly amazes me. 😍🌹

[@lifeinmyelement]

Those springs really are beautiful with the trees and snows and bather!

[@SGA.Creates]

You are amazing ! I discovered your channel today and started watching your videos and couldn't believe it was real that someone could be living and traveling in their car for six years. I have always dreamed of taking a long road trip, and sometimes I thought about sleeping in the car for a night to save money, but soon my fears and doubts took my mind off the idea. But seeing you I realized how all those fears were unfounded by society, they are not real. Seeing your excitement in every little detail of your environment, how you enjoy cooking or the snow much more than anyone else in a five star resort, has warmed my soul and made me want to start planning an adventure. You are such an example :) thank you so much for letting us join you in your journey! Lots of love from Spain 💜

[@enns5366]

I get so happy every time you post a video because I know it's gonna be just beautiful to watch. The magical snow your ALWAYS in is awesome

[@lifeinmyelement]

Awww 🥹❤️ thank you!!

[@jdlestero]

I think I was sitting in a truck stop in Ellensburg waiting to go over Snoqualmie, when you were up there. I had a light load so I waited until the chain restriction dropped. Good on you for waiting for better conditions.

[@tikoy1955]

Great video. Everything is awesome on this hot spring video. The walk there, the spring and the walk back. Just amazing.

I watch your videos just to see what you cook from the back of your car. It’s awesome to watch you create these meals in all weather conditions from the desert to the mountains. Homemade gnocchi and bread from scratch…sautéed veggies while it’s snowing. I truly get disappointed when you don’t eat. 👏

[@mikem9892]

Pizza looked incredible and could hear the crunch of the crust when you bit into it. Nice cheese pull as well

[@Freedom17762]

Those hot springs look incredible! I wish we had more of them here in oregon. Hey just a heads up, I used to be a ski bum for years and I would never use my ebrake when I park because the brake pads can freeze to the drum and leave you stranded. I’ve seen it happen many times at ski resorts. Glad it hasn’t happened to you yet.

[@lifeinmyelement]

I appreciate the warning! I've always used my ebrake in winter, though, so I'm not sure I can stop! It makes me feel safe lol

[@Freedom17762]

@@lifeinmyelement haha thats fair. Love your channel, keep up the good work. Ps if they ever do freeze just try tapping on the drum with a hammer or something steel and they should free up.

[@sueh2225]

Oh, I hate Snoqualmie pass any time of the year but especially in Winter! Have you ever tried to divert up towards Moses Lake and then going toward Wenatchee and going hwy 2 through Leavenworth? The pass on hwy 2 is far better to drive on than Snoqualmie, imo. Love all your hot spring locations! I grew up in North Idaho and lived in SE Idaho for a couple years and never even realized there were so many right there! We always went to the developed ones in Montana but that was the ‘70s and not crowded like everything is now. Cheers!

[@missnancysdayoff]

The scenery is sooo beautiful. And the path to the hot springs 😮I’m so jealous , thanks for the video ❤

[@robertmyers4664]

I got cold just watching you! Just the cooking and the car camping in this weather, and then knowing what it’s like to get out of a Hot Spring and then have to put on frozen clothes. I do love however how I immediately knew what road you were going on and was able to narrow it down to two springs that you might be visiting, and I knew which one immediately upon seeing the trail. It definitely brings back good memories!

[@bigdaddy403]

That pizza 🍕 looks delicious 😋

[@kayakinggrandmakelly7105]

The problem with watching your channel is that I get very jealous, because I live back east and the suburban 4 wheel drive won’t make it that far with almost 400 thousand miles……..but I still wanna go to some of those hot springs. It looks so BEAUTIFUL!

[@lifeinmyelement]

Having a car with that many miles is awesome! Good for you! But I get it, my parents rented a car last time they drove out west, for similar reasons!

[@aen9321]

I just want to say, I just found your channel and it is so cool to see you in this area because I’m also a nomad & I just relocated to Sandpoint, ID during the same deep freeze!! It was a wild journey up through the frozen pines and the mountains are beautiful. Love seeing other girls rock it!! 💗

Nice work, gotta be tough in the cold weather. I'm considerably south of you Rosa, be comforted in knowing spring is starting to show up. warmer near 70's days.. buds on trees.. even a couple of birds in the morning.. hang in there.

[@simonagree4070]

That is some cuh-razy driving weather -- quite the contrast with all the van-lifers down in Arizona right now. You are officially the Snow Queen! I like flour tortillas -- gorditas -- for my pan "pizzas". They last almost forever, and they're easier to fold over for eating. Watching you crunch through the snow to soak for hours in hot water (and find someone else already there!), then crunch back and chisel more snow out of your wheel wells, all without complaining unduly, really does something for my winter blues this year.

[@randybeeson3424]

Such a beautiful wandering soul. Enjoy your youth and freedom girl!

[@scamphound1892]

So crunchy! A nice investment might be remote start if possible. You can stay cozy in bed and still start the car. I think mine times out after 15 minutes.

[@Pinkkermit17]

Kicking snow off my car tires is my favorite part of snow…. It’s an obsession to try to get it all off with one kick.

[@OrionMcKay1]

Those Hot Springs look so inviting. If you need a place in Washington to chill I'm located near Mt Baker Ski Area. Cheers

(Knock on wood!) While you're out of the woods, you should give Elrond some love. Carwash, maybe. And take him to the parts store and ask the folks in there to test the battery, please.
