Off the Beaten Path- I Found an Actual Ghost Town!

[@aradee9028]

Thanks for showing us all the memorial. It was very compassionate .

[@cathleengross3474]

I loved seeing the horse competition. It is so much fun to travel old roads and meet the local people. Everywhere I have travelled, all local people were friendly, helpful, nice. Thanks, Carolyn. Now I know what S Dakota looks like.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I'm glad you enjoyed it too. I loved seeing it!

[@ginahernandez8419]

Thanks!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you so much Gina!

[@ginahernandez8419]

@@CarolynsRVLife next time I will give more ..this was my very first time ever sending to anyone.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I'm humbled and honored by your generosity. Thank you

[@WhiteTulip22]

I love small old towns like that. We take a lot of drives and see things like that too. Keep going girl, I love your adventurous spirit and independence.

[@karenholley8356]

Sadie, in the co-pilot's seat, ever vigilant! Nothing escapes her. So precious.

I love the Beautiful way Pierre Military Veterens were shown such Respect with their Monuments....🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@craigandlisao9736]

We have many pictures on our walls of trees. I’m obsessed with the beauty of soo many trees. Thank you for sharing such lovely scenery 🥰

[@Rachel20285]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video and all the random site seeing! The sound of the wind in that old tiny town … I got such a lonely feeling. Those fabulous Hot Springs! Amazing! Huge cottonwoods along the Missouri River… very nice to come along for the ride.

[@rosepatrick8002]

Great video! The Veteran's Memorial was beautiful. Back roads are most scenic and fun

[@hopefranklin9155]

The treasures you can find off the beaten path. Great vid. Katie did good going across. She is a sweetie. Be safe and blessed.

[@angiewebb7538]

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you and Sadie for showing us around. It's amazing how you find all these awesome places. Stuff we pass driving along the interstate/highway.

[@kathy0698]

Your dog is beyond precious!!!

[@TJ-iw5zq]

I love the landscape. Been to s.d. many times and it always feels like…this is where I belong. I can breathe! I’ve been to Phillip!! Wow. Had friends that lived there. Stayed in a little motel in Martin s.d. and the radio alarm woke us up to Indian music. My husband jumped up and said “quick, circle the cars”! When we walked around town all the Native American kids would point and laugh at my husband. He is a redhead and I don’t think they ever seen anyone with red hair before. We found people living in sod houses, never been off their plot of land in their life. Love it there! Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories.

[@judithbeers7598]

My deceased husband grew up in Martin, SDak. We visited his sister there many times. Wonderful ppl and great food. Got a lot of old-time German food recipes.

[@paige_n_neri]

Love the memorial. The shadows were just right on the statues to make them appear real. Sweet Sadie ❤

[@irislabranche4323]

I love your First Nation music

[@CarolynsRVLife]

that was on the radio!!! wasn't it awesome?

[@elizabethash4720]

Sadie enjoys every minute, like you shes in her element what a team 😊❤🎉

[@barbaraadelman2391]

Of all of your videos, I think I enjoyed this one the most! LOVED the ghost town part...that was fascinating to me. And the tour of the Pierre was wonderful (as was all of it in between). Be safe and healthy! You AND Sadie...

[@sabracrouse5893]

When you were filming the church so when was howling through it gave me the Goosebumps. Sadie was really interested in looking at everything have a good one stay safe God bless and take care

[@unclebob6728]

Thank You!

[@babsgaudreau5936]

Your music picks are rad!!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

thanks Babs.

[@ms.jessadventures]

The backroads are always incredible. Great video, my family from SD, but I've never been YET, this video made me feel like I was experiencing my families heritage. Good to learn about boondocking out there.

[@gingerjolley9027]

Oh man.....I'd love to resurrect on of those old buildings.....super cool.

[@nanaflowerpower]

Sadie on the bridge! 😆 what a brave pup!!

[@quantumdiscoverynetwork9257]

The tour around the Capitol was very interesting. You took from the past to my childhood past. You were very informative about both. Thank you. Hey there are 50 Capitols, 50 videos!

[@freefallintoseed3346]

Oh my gosh! I grew up in the Dakotas and when you showed this video with the wild Dakota winds it brought back great memories. Thank you

[@Kitchguy]

Great video. These are your best types of videos. Really enjoyed it.

[@purpletam5900]

I like your red and white shirt.

[@purpletam5900]

checkered

[@passivitysmith5314]

This is so impressive. These people are proud of where they live! Manicured lawns and fields everywhere, no place lacking attention. Wonderful. The river area was gorgeous! I could sit there all day and listen to those birds, beautiful! I really believe wars are nothing more than revenue, like now...so many out of work, businesses closed, banks hanging by threads, uncontrollable inflation, worldwide. That has always been their answer. Sad.

[@kaczmogal]

Beautiful woods at campground. I had nesting bald eagles on my property on the Washington coast. I loved their routine timed by the tides. Always knew when they were around because all the birds would go crazy harassing them to distract from their nests. Had an eye ball to eye ball encounter with a mother eagle protecting her juvenile which is one of the most impressive experiences of my life. They have a distinct squawk.

[@sarapulford5957]

For a gost town the grass seemed mostly well cut.

[@doloresreynolds8145]

I agree, it looked mowed.

[@karenroe6270]

I love to hear the announcers they are so funny & each one different. Intertainment in the raw. What a beautiful memorial.🤗🙃😉💖🌟

[@GaryNichols50]

Very touching when you took the hand of the soldier statue at the memorial and said "Thank you".

[@clarebrant5305]

Great video. Thanks. 👍😁

[@wendybeiermann815]

THANK YOU💔💔💔💔

[@suzannebrouillette4531]

Spooky but cool.....

[@bobbihanratty8792]

Those are old grain bins beside the railroad. They would load grain onto the train. I love to see and hear your view of old towns.. love it..safe travels..

[@michellebarlondsmith6243]

Gotta love those moments when you find something by accident .....

[@hopeonthetrail6984]

What a cool find. Did you see the deer running behind the ol' school truck camper? How fun to just stumble upon it. Thanks for taking us along. Teri

[@AngelBaby11117]

You've come a long way, baby, in so many ways! Excellent video Carolyn, really enjoyed it. Love your Sadie Girl, bush jumper like my dog!

[@camelcompany9252]

It’s not a mill, it’s a grain elevator! It’s next to the train tracks so they could ship the grain out of town.

[@CLR1952]

So interesting🦋🦋🦋

[@julien2912]

Yes Awesome! If you ever buy land you need to buy some that has a really big building on it like one of these abandoned ones in this town. It would be cool if you had one that is tall enough to drive your RV right into it. Like a shop/house for a home base.

[@ingridme6585]

Love how you interact with Sadie. My Border Collie also has a fear of bridges haha. Love Sadie's jump hunt. Nice to see a bit of America through your footage! Thank you!

[@lisarogers4034]

Really awesome video, thanks!

[@WisconsinWanderer]

It was really a treat to meet you Carolyn and all the wonderful people that gathered rain or not! Kinda like a big family! Thank all for giving me that feeling ☮️❤️

[@CarolynsRVLife]

WW - I'm so glad you came and I got the chance to meet you. Yep, some tough cookies out there in the pouring rain! Hope you got your exhaust fixed :-p

[@CBAmakingAusername]

Beautiful little ghost. Town

[@gerrymaitland9799]

the War Memorial was very moving. Great video. Thank you for sharing...

[@dsteenytravelhome4484]

Thanks you for sharing. Makes me want to check out the Dakotas. I drove through them in the 1989-1990. It would be great to see it like you did.

[@deebauguess4054]

I love seeing the interesting places you go. I found it hard to go to public places with my dog to as I live in Florida. Not dog friendly

[@maryrusso4910]

It's Hurricane (her-a-ken), WV, too.

[@bogardus11]

Aaahahahahaha Sadie was pissed you left her in the rig....😄😄😄what a sweet little girl with loads of personality!! Just like her Mom 😅 I just love the nature you show us, and I love your music, and love you too Miss Carolyn.

[@Gracieemerson5703]

Haha that looks like every town around where my family is from in Moffitt, North Dakota. I was born in Bismarck, we moved to beautiful San Diego when I was a year old, thank goodness!

[@therakinney457]

I love your videos,i get to travel without leaving home,did alot but those days are over for me.You do a great job showing the area you are in,thank you an keep it up,be safe an have a great day!

[@deebauguess4054]

You are so brave to travel to secluded places alone. I admire you as I am a scary cat🙂

[@natewrites7803]

I was just thinking, shes at Cottonwood. Wish someone would restore the brick building and church.

[@natewrites7803]

That cool radio station you are listening to is KILI, Lakota radio station, very cool.

[@Pardis-Ha]

Awesome as always.❤🇺🇲

[@donnasloane9031]

Would make a great movie set.

[@dot1shots61]

Just think like in 20 or 30 years all the coastal states will be flooded out from the oceans rising and these little towns will be flourishing again. I like when you look up the area you venture into and tell us about it. Very interesting. Good video. Thanks!

[@angiewebb7538]

The deer was an added plus.

[@marydurgin5654]

I really enjoyed your time in South Dakota. I grew up in MN, so I'm sure to enjoy the upcoming states. I always watch your videos anyway. Thanks!

[@lori5142]

I live in south central Kansas, all of our small towns look like that here. Business long since gone, schools consolidated , and churches closed, due to money. Only thing left is the houses people still live in, because rent is cheap or they are family homesteads. Buildings are standing abandoned and every single little town has the grain elevators you saw, so farmers didn't have to drive far to dump their grain. Only towns that have businesses now are mostly 3,000 population or more.

[@kiaorable]

What a beautiful memorial.

[@terrybrowning3542]

That was the grain elevator by the train tracks. Every town had an elevator for the farmers to ship their wheat and grain.

[@ginahernandez8419]

So cool! 😊

[@bobbihanratty8792]

Thanks for showing the memorial, very nice..

[@tdhawk167]

What neat little towns

[@lynna1768]

Enjoyed the video 😊👍

[@becca7776]

stay safe...

[@tdhawk167]

Beautiful Veterans' Memorial

[@cedarcottagefarm2885]

So many little towns sprung up by the grain elevators. Then bigger companies come in and built better grain elevators and the little towns disappear. We have a lot in the Midwest.

[@debbiehempele3536]

Cool you could buy the whole town

[@grandmasheeshee9579]

Loved your hair pulled up for a quick change!

[@gwyntx7620]

I had family that lived in Philip. Nice little town

[@mauricelamaredwards2624]

WOW! That amazing stumble up in a ghost town while driving!!

[@kimjhpl1524]

Fun video. Looking forward to more and further east.

[@lcostantino7931]

How beautiful,,, can't believe just leaving equipment.....

[@mamadonna3598]

I watched and enjoyed the whole video. Thanks Carolyn, God Bless you!

[@debraporter1797]

So loved this video. How cool. Those life like statues of every branch. 👍 great find.

[@12Gaile]

The memorial was so stirring. Made me teary eyed. Thank you for spending time there. ♥️

[@savingsilver]

Love that little town! Did you see the deer running right when you were talking about the old RV? I barely saw it!

[@mojavemike6522]

Yep, saw it also.

[@kathyadam9932]

Wow! What a great find. I love places like this. The church was so awesome. How exciting. See the road less traveled is always the best. My Dad taught me this. Miss taking him on Sunday drives. I just love your channel. Thank you for such a cool day. Loved the music. Hugs. Love your dislike of rules. Whine all you want. I do that in the morning. Lol.

[@kathyadam9932]

Love rodeos too. Cowboys are cute. Lol

[@annettemiller4837]

Love your videos Carolyn have been subscribed since my Cousin told me about you and your travels 2yrs ago as she also follows you too!! Keep safe! Your Friebds in Aussie

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Carolyn, when you touched the military statue's hand and said, "Thank you for your service", I was instantly choked up and tears came to my eyes. My Dad was a Navy vet...he passed away 5 years ago last month. Wonderful video. Sadie cracked me up. Safe travels.👍👍👍👍👍😊💖 ( It took me a while to see this video because I am at camp right now. 😁)

[@sharonsteele8915]

Thank you for a wonderful video, love the little ghost towns and definitely liked the rodeo😁, poor Sadie didn't like that bridge..be safe🤗💗

[@babygirlgibbs]

I really love it when you go to these ghost towns and little towns nobody's heard of. Thank you for researching them too. So interesting. Keep hunting for these towns cuz I really enjoy it. Give my love to beautiful Sadie. Love to you too!😘❤

[@lcostantino7931]

AGREE love to learn different cultures....

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Neat place

[@mayevans7568]

You can get a harness for her head called a halti its like a horse bridle you lead her by the nose not the neck or a halti harness if she pulls she trips her self up they are kind

[@richardkelley3644]

That old metal building (that you did not know what it was) is a grain elevator.

[@marysullivan1588]

Sadie so cute going across the dock bridge ❤️ Vermont my favorite place on earth .

[@jenniferrae6646]

What an awesome place!! So wish that I could visit one day. Thank you Carolyn.

[@jennza4able]

I was at Badlands, near Wall. I saw all the rv’s to my left on top of the mountain. I wanted to go, but I did not want to make them feel uncomfortable. I think you were there. I was so sad I could not meet you. I am not sure if you like to meet fans. (I am kind of introvert too) but Oh my!! I wanted to meet you. I admire you so much!! Your courage to be free, it is my inspiration. Take care and hope to see you on the road someday!!

[@regenagroen4631]

AWW Poor Sadie, I had a smile on my face when she was SLOWLY walking across the bridge, too cute!!! & when you put the camera on those faces, I was thinking they would move LOL!!! Would be a scary thing for Halloween!!! LOVES/HUGS to you & PRECIOUS Sadie!!! Wish I could of came to the meet up. Would of LOVED to meet you & Sadie!!!

[@user-js9gn2hw9s]

OMGGGG SADIE CROSSING THE BRIDGE HAHALOLOLOL

[@dawnatishauser4223]

A grainery that’s what that building was next to the railroad tracks

[@ShirleyWiggerman]

That was a really nice ghost town. I get why you would want to live there. I'd want to fix it up and bring in new ppl but ppl that would help the town not hurt it, that would be the challenge. I'd want to leave as much as the old buildings that I could with just enough modernizing as needed for an old town like that but in disguise.

[@Carol-qi6me]

Always cracks me up when Sadie jumps and pounces in the bushes.

[@joycecollins5796]

Wowwwww reallyyyy coolll ghost town!!!! Thanks Carolyn for showing us these areas---Luv from Canada----hopefully make it down next year----if damn Covid over!!!!😎😎
