The bird you encountered is called a Dusky Grouse. It lives in the forest areas of the Rocky Mountains and is a game bird (like a quail or pheasants). Until recently, it was called Blue Grouse, but apparently they discovered there are 2 subspecies throughout the Rocky Mountains in the U.S. and Canada, so they renamed them both and the subspecies in CO is the Dusky Grouse. There are also ptarmigan at high elevation in CO (another game bird that are similar in size), but they live within the alpine tundra zone above timberline...probably more than you wanted to know...😁

The bird was trying to make you think it was injured with its wing down so you would follow it away from the nest. A Killdear does that too so that any hunters will not find the nest. Good mama.

We've been FT for the last 4 years, boondocking most of the time. We disinfect our motorhomes freshwater tank once a year but always drink the water out of our tanks, though it's filtered twice before it goes in and twice after it comes out - mainly for taste rather than safety though. We carry 115 gallons with us which usually lasts us the 2-week boondocking limit in most places if we only shower once a week - doing "bird baths" to get us through. We usually use about 12-15 gallons for both our showers (and shaving). So, we carry 3, 5-gallon folding water containers in our toad to replenish 1 shower day per refill trip when we go out to eat, buy groceries, etc. which allows us to leave our MH in place for the full 2 weeks at a time. We haven't spent a dime on RV parks since March when we wintered over in the RGV in TX which cost us only $170/mo for the 50a FHU site plus about $65-$100/mo for electricity as we have solar. Keeping an RV functioning FT can be challenging. Just today the plastic drain plug in our water heater burst while filling our tank causing some field expedient repairs just so we could fill our tank. A couple years back we boondocked for 2 weeks at the Golden Horn, between Silverton and Ouray. That million-dollar highway is crazy in a big RV, no? I sure wouldn't travel it when there's snow and ice on the road! You have the same idea as us - head for high elevations when it's hot (we're in the Grand Tetons now), then we "run for the border" when it turns cold. This winter we're returning to the LTVAs around Quartzsite - can't beat $180 for 7 months (86 cents a day) for not only a safe, level place to stay, but unlimited water, dump and trash disposal. Hope to see you down the road someday. Take care, Chip & Cindy

Your vids are just the right mix of various content without making them too short or too long. The shame of these newer rigs is that the brands can get blasted when it really is the Lippert junk that the manufacturers have to use due to the seeming monopoly of slides etc. The clips on the brake magnets recall was simply ridiculous and could have gotten you badly hurt or killed.

On July 16th-26th test rented a Grand Design 36 foot, 9000 pound RV that we drug from Dallas, Texas to Page, Arizona (Lake Powell) for 5 days, then on to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, for a total of 2,456 miles. The tow vehicle for the 2019 ram 1500 in those mountain were no joke. When we get the Brinkley, my 2020 Raptor will be the sacrificial lamb. I’ve been looking at the F350 high output Ford but my son loves the RAM 3500 and wants me to get a 3500 single rear wheel. The dully trucks are a lot to drive around day to day. What are you guys towing with? I have so many questions! Are you loving the Brinkley? What options would you go for? With your Boondocking, did you go with the lithium batteries and the most available solar power? Obviously, I subscribed and cannot wait to see more of your videos. We were planning a pick up at the Brinkley as well. Sooo cool!!

The bird chasing you looks like a dusky grouse. It was probably protecting its young or territory.

You guys are freaking awesome! I go full-time in next summer for a while until I decide where to buy my next house. Everything’s going quick. New fifth wheel this winter new truck next spring! I really hope to run into you. Crazy kids! I’d love to have a conversation. I’m 20+ years your senior, I would guess but I enjoy you guys so much! And my Australian shepherd Tango, thanks your dogs are great!

Oh how exciting!! It really does go pretty quick getting everything ready to hit the road. It’d be great to run into you! Which, is quite likely since all us RVers are chasing good weather 🤣 and thanks for coming along on our adventures!
