What is surprising to me is how little the lava has broken down after all this time. There doesn’t seem to be any plant life growing between the rocks. In Hawaii ferns are the first to grow, other plants follow of course over time. That the volcano is out there completely blows me away! Any idea as to age? The size of the rim on the caldera seems quite worn down but the amount of lava is amazing! Lol all this of course is through your lens. YOU JUST FIND THE BEST STUFF!!! What highway are you on, I HAVE TO GO THERE!! Thank you for sharing!

[@karenangeline4975]

Hey Carolyn! I've been watchin you for years now, still making good videos that I always enjoy! Keeps going girlfriend!! All the best to you!❤😊

I've been blessed with getting to see the wild horses in Nevada - it was breathtaking.

[@MarlaSims-xj9jm]

This is one of my very favorite videos of yours! Wild horses, women being acknowledged! Thank you🩵

[@lizabethjoy1883]

I too am a rv full timer in a class c , I admire you Carolyn and have learned from your channel . And yes , although I do as many rv repairs as I can learn , going to an RV repair is stressful. Because I do not trust these places. Peace❤

[@michelleditzler2105]

Cool places,beautiful skies,horses!! I would love all that

[@bobmirror7164]

The spiced butter beans from Family Dollar are so good. I prepare them by soaking the can in the cool refrigerator before opening with a special can opener, then savoring them a specially made white plastic spoon.

[@cynthiam3319]

Yes, I do know about washboard roads in RV's, cars, trucks, motorcycles, it's miserable. Since my rig is my home I usually won't speed up to ride on top of the bumps. It stills feels like an earthquake moving down the road in an RV. I'm never in a hurry, so turtle crawl it is for me. ☮️

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Well said!

[@collinsfriend1]

The road to Indian Reservoir on Walker Ridge is washboard. Just have to go slow.

[@traci635]

Good ol Ely! Was an interesting place to grow up! Last time there, 1994. Hasn't changed much. Yes, highway 50 is indeed pretty lonely, as you drive towards Reno passing through Ruth, Eureka, Austin, Fernley, Fallon......the Great Basin isnt very scenic but the mountains around Ely are pretty. Thank you for sharing! Boy does it take me back! Loved seeing Ely from a far......

With the right tires and rims airing down makes a huge difference! Washboard roads are horrible on the nerves and the rigs! Cool rocks! It may have been picture jasper? Maybe?

What a great town! I think the way "culture" was used was different than what we might refer to. Of course all women from different areas have culture, and women from different countries brought their own cultures.

[@traci635]

Ely is indeed a unique little town in Central Nevada. It is my hometown, this video sure brought back memories! It's an interesting and pretty place to visit. As is Ruth where the Liberty pit copper mine is, and McGill which is opposite direction

[@christiannemayer6062]

So interesting, washboard roads I remember only from childhood 🤣getting shook💞that village was amazing. Enjoy the journey. Go girl.( Red Tent) Good read,too.

Love this video. Those lava fields are fascinating! I’ve been to El Malpais National Monument in New Mexico which has an extensive lava field. Hope Sadie is feeling better. Sorry for the frustrations in getting work done on your van. Safe travels.

[@carolinenunez3455]

I’ve driven washboard roads you can float over, and some that you can’t. And once with my brother in his VW bus: “THIS IS RUINING MY SUSPENSION!” LOL

I was in Quartzsite all winter and the pilot gas station was always out of gas. Loves to busy all the time. I started using Arco on the other end of town price varies like all of them but much easier to get in out of. Safe travels 9:48

Yes have driven on washboard roads, only tried floating once, nevermind again. Always went real slow 😊. Now with motorcycle going in and out of our spot we definitely floated 😅

I can tell one of Sadie's favorite phrase is "chasing bunnies!" Wow, did she perk up when you said that!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

yep she knows all the words; cows, chipmunks, critters, bunnies. so many lol

[@thizizliz]

Ooh, Ely looks interesting. Funny, I've always thought of I-40 as being the only road from coast to coast. Seems like 50 is a close second. Cool. I'll look forward to your trip for sure. I hope your mom is doing well and that your regular visits are good for you both - certainly good for content.

[@waterywaves]

I am so happy you went to NM It’s the coolest area to explore

Your like listening to a friend. I've been watching your channel for some time. Thank u🎉

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I appreciate that!

[@kaczmogal]

Good for you for enduring all the mechanical issues with RVing. I couldn’t do it so credit to you. Especially folks you don’t know are reliable and trustworthy. It seems too stressful to me. I hate car repairs except if it’s my tried and true local mechanic. A guy I can trust.

[@marydawkins4190]

Wow. Ely used to be nothing more than a wide spot in the road. I've driven Hwy 50 back in the early 90s from Denver to Tahoe and saw about 5 other cars. LOL Not that there weren't all the old buildings but nothing was happening in Ely. Interesting how they've added so much to see and learn about the area.

[@freedomfinder5196]

Never tried going fast over washboard road. I always crawl over it!

[@bettydanico2959]

Beautiful scenic views😍

[@philguziar1408]

I enjoy all your road trip videos and Satie is a doll. I noticed something when you were getting water. The door seal to your water tank looked to be black with mold. Maybe its just the seal. Don't want you to get sick. Safe travels.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

it's been like that for 4 years. LOl thanks for your concern.

[@janetsmith2870]

Enjoyed! Thanks.

[@dreamingmusicgal]

Having been raised in Louisiana and a southern Cajun I seen lots of cattle guards and washboard dirt roads and most of the time they do go hand in hand in the country. I do have to say even if it's a pavement road most of the time they stink as well.

[@rosemarypatrick2119]

Ely on my list to visit, very cool place loved the horses

[@peacedove9513]

Awesome Quartsite photos!! I live on a washboard road 😵‍💫

[@yourekittenme.]

Do you think you might have some contenders for calendar pics from this video (rainbow, for example)? Ahh, good ol’ Rt 50. I live just outside of Ocean City, MD. My daughter has pictures of the signs at each end of the highway!

[@jeanninebilland5708]

Carolyn, We are 100% with you girl on the patriarchy. When I started to talk 50 years in- my mom started to squirm. Women just did not buck the system,don’t you know🙀 And as we evolve- we finally heal so other women may see the light as well. Thank you Carolyn🫶🏽you rock!

[@canyondiva493]

Oh you’re in Ely; find time to see the Nevada Northern Railway museum and shop. You can learn about Dirt the Cat and his successor, Dirt Junior. The trains are beautiful and certain times you can ride or even drive a locomotive!

[@vernonbrechin826]

Thanks for sharing that beautiful scenery around the Black Rock Lava Flow. The radar dome on the ridge is part of the Air Force testing range associated with Area 51. If instead of heading east on the Lunar Crater Road you can head NW, from US-6, towards the Project Faultless underground nuclear explosion test site.

[@collinsfriend1]

Have you thought about a solar oven? Gosun is having a sale and I just bought another for our grandson to help them save and not heat up their apt. They look odd because they are long and there are other brands with the vacuum tube type- but whatever brand they are fast and get very hot. Up to 550 degrees. That particular type can cook even in snow and don't require full sun. It's good of course but works either way. Not supposed to preheat to avoid thermal shock but they're fast enough you don't need to anyway. Since you park and stay in places you might find it handy to set up and forget and come back to a meal. The box type are slower and don't seem to get as hot. anyway just a thought.

[@ForeverChanged7]

[@cherylsibson2529]

Was thinking as you drove, Carolyn could go visit Matt's off road, and see what he'll come up with for your wheel baring's probably not a bad idea! Times are so wild now, he might come up with a solution for you I love that mural too was good to see it. if you want to read a good book, try the "Red Tent".

[@sherelynwhite4130]

Love the wall of woman! And agree with "english" woman bringing "culture" as a ridiculous statement! I too am way over this patriarchal world and can only hope and trust that as women come into their power with knowledge and self-love we will rise up again. The world would be a better place with a matriarchal system in place again! Thank you for taking me with you as you drive through these dusty little desert one horse towns. Something I have absolutely zero interest in ever doing, so I appreciate going with you on the journey that I will never take! Happy Trails.🌺🌈🙋‍♀️

[@NomadicPride]

You can actually "float" on any washboard road; it's dependent on your speed and the distance between the bumps. If the bumps are closer together, you can float at lower speeds. If they're farther apart, you need to go faster to achieve the same effect. On the other hand, faster speed on a washboard road means you have much less control over the steering, so it may not be worth the trade-off.

[@coffenut]

I just finished reading a wonderfully written book by Kristin Hannah called "The Four Winds" which is about a woman who struggled to keep her family together during the Great Depression & Dust Bowl. It was eye opening for me especially when you think about today's political stresses and attitudes towards immigrants. The difference is, of course, is that now it non-Americans whereas back then the attitudes were targeted towards fellow Americans. I was reminded of the book and thought I would suggest it to you after you started talking about the female contributions in history. Recommend if you haven't read it yet.
