[@queentatonka]

I am not that Carolyn!!

[@jmubreader]

As a former auto glass installer for 26 years, I was really surprised when they release the vehicle that quickly . 20 some years ago when I was doing it, we had to hold the vehicle for 4 to 8 hours depending on what the temperature was outside. Yes, it does need to sit and cure. If it’s still loose when you leave, I would go to a different company. They obviously don’t know how to install glass. It needs to be completely removed and reinstalled with fresh urethane and allowed to cure. Another thing we used to do is put tape around the windshield to body area and have the customer peel it off the next day just to prevent any movement at all.

[@cindypalmatier5962]

Thanks for taking me with in this video! My Twin brother used to hitch hike out west all the time, ever since the 1970s, his favorite state was Utah too, expeshally Salt Lake. God rest his soul! One day my son who's handicap and me will get a RV and go there too! Thanks again!!🎉

[@AMMandrea123]

Me too Cindy! I was working in Vernal UT and used to hitch hike alone to Flaming Gorge every weekend.

[@alexandrakozub2501]

Your not alone lol DEER

[@alexandrakozub2501]

The deer are wondering what you doing there on gods land and probably thinking wonder if she has something to eat lol

[@alexandrakozub2501]

Sadie so cute with her paws up on dash checking everything out. AWESOME

[@alexandrakozub2501]

That’s GODS COUNTRY ENJOY ITS YOURS TOO THANKS FOR SHARING

[@Lore67]

YIPEEEE! Utah is my Home ,,every morning i look out my front window and see the beautiful mountains ,,salt Lake city is a great city

[@lynzeemckay3722]

Hi Carolyn, I don’t know if you have moved on from from Utah and heading towards Washington State but I live on the dry side in the Tri-Cities (Richland) we have a lot of free parking along the Columbia River and a great low fee place all grass and choice of no hookups clean bathrooms and hardly ever has more the a few campers it’s kind of hidden away and a sort walk to the Wenatchee River. We are very close to Canada, Montana, Idaho, Oregon some beautiful camping in all these states. You and Sadie more then welcome to a long hot shower or spa tub and to use my laundry. My first trip to the RTR is that right? Can’t remember the name … I wanted to meet you and Capone but it was the year you missed must of been 2019 or 2020 as Covid came along after that. When I was thinking about buying a travel trailer you where the first person I started watching on KZbin to find out what I needed to know. Also when you were planning your trip to New Zealand I mentioned I used to live there actually for 14 years my 2 kids started school there and finished school there and they went back to Australia to get jobs in Sydney. The few times I have talked to you here I signed off New Zealand Lynzee to help you to remember me as I don’t comment to often. Anyway you’re welcome to use my facilities and I’ll show you and Sadie some great spots to overnight. I just lost my two dogs Shy the year before last she was 17 and my little Izzy last December he was 16 I knew he was old and thought I was prepared but the loss was terrible still getting over it so I understand how bad it was when you lost Huck. Let me know if you do get to my neck of the woods. NZ Lynzee

[@mariondiemert430]

At 54 min. How beautiful! I am always so happy to see that when you leave a camping spot, it is sparkly clean. You rock. Hugs to you and Sadie.

[@skyangelthefan]

I’m a FA ✈️…Mountain time is my favorite time zone. Plus, the views are peaceful.

[@FreshAir831]

Thank you for your videos! Sadie is my favorite fur baby on KZbin! I enjoy your travels, but especially watching the love between you and Sadie. So precious. Happy travels! ❤

[@deniseboucher8606]

Hi, 👋🏼 thank you for the wonderful views of the mountains. Gorgeous x10. While watching I crochet and got a kick out of the sheep. 🐑. I love them 😍. They put some of my clothes on my back and blankets on my lap. lol Enjoy and stay safe ❤😊

[@priscillawrites6685]

I had a windshield replaced. The shop told me to go home, park the car, cover the windshield to protect it from weather, and don’t drive for 2 days. They were right.

[@witchisyours4592]

Yes! That's what I was told also. It needs time to set

[@lisarichards3853]

I had my windshield replaced and they told me to let it sit and cure for 2 days. I gave it 3 and it's great. Although I had it done in June also.

[@debliedel]

OMG! Don't know how I missed this video! So glad I found it! I know where I'm going on my next vacation! Thanks, Carolyn! Absolutely beautiful!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You are so welcome!

[@lolasaxby1399]

Wow!beautiful thanks for sharing!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you too

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Hi Lola, I'm happy you enjoyed it!

[@dianaj3139]

I came back to say THANK YOU for the recipe ideas... I have always loved Quinoa in salads, and this was a terrific recipe!

[@dianaj3139]

Utah is one of my favorite places to visit... doesn't hurt that I have a friend that lives there. But it's also among my favorites because as a kid my family drove through so many states on our cross-country trips during my dad's 3 week vacations... Thanks for the memories :)

[@kellyk1958]

Wow, you were less than 1/4 block from my house when you got the window fixed in salt lake. You used the same dump station I use when I get home from trips. So close to my house. I could have treated you to lunch and Sadie to treats. Someday we will meet up. Enjoy your time in the mountain west.

[@kennethgardner3090]

I have mixed feelings on this one. This video was awesome. As one of your fans who would like to meet you one day, I'm camping seventy miles north of Salt Lake city. I also loved you filming the roads. Some of them I've been on. Thank you again.

[@RussellNollenMusic]

Thank you for sharing this! ❤

[@judithdavis7437]

Absolutely love this part of your trip!! Never seen any part of the west!Just in the movies

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

Great video Carolyn❣❣

[@RosaCODA]

Interesting with beautiful scenery as well as keeping it real, the windshield issues. Captivated from start to finish!!

[@kathyrenee589]

William Least Heat Moon - just read Blue Highways last fall and loved it!

[@maryswanson9982]

I didn’t think I was OCD until I saw your windshield! 😂

[@user-fn9gw7nr9s]

Carolyn you brighten my day!

[@drph.d353]

Amazing travels as i watch Carolyns from day one to now year after year live so many different lives~!

[@amstergal]

Thank you, Carolyn for such a beautiful video. I needed to "escape" big time and this really helped. I'm sorry though for all the windshield issues and hope all good now. I appreciate all the time you spent filming and editing showing us this incredible, gorgeous scenery.

[@Hoshigirl0704]

I enjoyed this trip and the Mountains and rivers and also all the 🌲 trees. Sharing lunch with you. Carolyn you are fun and all the historical things on the way you take time to tell us. Those ⛰️ mountains were beautiful. Good Blessings ❤

[@rhondatraywick3724]

Beautiful video! Safe travels to you and Sadie! 😄

[@kimsmart9359]

Flaming Gorge is beautiful!

[@michaelzorro2738]

Beautiful landscapes... Thank you for sharing.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Many thanks!

[@karendotson230]

Beautiful video! Thank you for taking us with you! 😊

[@kentuckylucky5762]

Waggle a good idea!!! Will get one after i get an rv

[@wendymaclean6364]

Thanks again for taking us along with you 😊

[@user-ns8hc6xz6v]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Carolyn...this video is absolutely excellent! Definitely one of my favorites. You took us to so many beautiful places. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey. Looking forward to enjoying the rest of your travels. 👍😁♥️

[@jackmckarson6271]

Thanks!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you very much for the tip Jack!

[@HildaHickey]

wow you are not kidding! It is awesome! The rock mountains where you got out and walked around were so neat. I saw faces on the mountainside. Nature is so great!

[@tzinanechumah]

Beautiful. Thank you, for taking us all along with you. :D

[@micheleharper4276]

It's absolutely stunning. I love your videos.

[@danajensen2935]

Great video, Carolyn! I really enjoyed seeing Flaming Gorge - my folks used to camp there in the 80’s and they found fruit trees in random areas so would glean fruit on their travels. You captured the beautiful scenery so well and I really appreciate you sharing it with us! Safe travels!

[@kastlight59]

Thank you for the video! Excellent as always. Love the music and food prep!

[@jeannettefreeman9023]

Yay Carolyn and Sadie! Was hoping for a video drop soon. Thanks for sharing your lives with us and taking us on your adventures ❤️

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Our pleasure!

[@MsCar2008]

Very nice video, thank you.

[@karakoppanyi3845]

What beautiful scenery. I could almost smell the pines. Loved this video!

[@ronnyfoulk1858]

Thanks for such a wonderful trip and glad you are back and feeling better.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You're very welcome Ronny!

[@RaivenBC]

At least you recognize that it is your issue and not the fault of the other campers. They definitely parked a respectful distance away from you.

[@gerriannebreck1369]

“Screw it we’ve got time, let explore it”. Hell yes! Describes your adventures perfectly. Great video! Love to see you in your element and leaning into your curious nature! ❤

[@user-pe4rl3iy8p]

Glady you’re back in the US

[@COASTIEMOM27]

Another great video.

[@suzannearmstrong3426]

When you replace a windshield, always give it at least 24 hours or more to cure. I learned the hard way

[@kentuckylucky5762]

Gotta watch for leaks!!

[@carolclover1238]

Great video❤

[@barbrabrurrier7548]

Such beautiful sites you shared

[@thelifeandtimesofcrazypatr699]

I really think when you have a windshield replacement, you are not supposed to drive for 24 hours. Just closing the doors can put pressure on the windshield and push it forward.

[@HappyLife693]

I enjoy your videos for many reasons, one is the information that you share while traveling in the area. I can see the area in real time and learn about its history or other interesting facts.

[@maryb7034]

BEST RIDE EVER THANK YOU

[@philguziar1408]

Great travel video, amazing sights. Wish i were there. Safe travels to you I'll be watching.

[@barbarajeanne8351]

A week late watching this but super enjoyable 😄

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Glad you enjoyed it! Better late than never. Thanks 😊

[@user-sx2yv1sb3q]

That was amazing!! And yes I have always thought those small ledge's in the mountains side would be a great place to camp at!! Thank you for the ride along!! It was great!! Loved it!!

[@richarddunn4045]

Thank you for this great episode.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jayniestanley4730]

I am a midnight butterfly. I do not enjoy crowds . I prefer peace n quiet over a beach filled to max. Nope, not me. 😊

[@cherylsibson2529]

yeah Green trees is great, hope you find what your looking for Carolyn hugs!

[@bettybrigance6784]

Outstanding video..!!!!!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Glad you liked it!

[@bluewillow2217]

Sheep Creek is the best. You should see it in September!

[@catherinedonoghue]

Beautiful 💜

[@annarmartin2713]

Thanks for this wonderful road-trip, I know exactly where you were.l spent a night in Green River ,WY and would love todo the geology tour through the Flaming River Gorge. On that same trip I took a 50 mile trip south of 80 in ID to a bird sanctuary along the Snake River. A very memorable side trip. Your videos take me to familiar and new places and that feels great. Thanks.

[@trina7410]

I was born and raised on Mountain Time in Colorado. West of Woodland park near Hartsel. I'm in Kansas now. I am so longing for my Rocky Mountains and to travel but only have a 4 door Ford Focus. Want to be in an rv so so bad. Especially since my husband passed 2 years ago coming this May 25th. My husband and I spent some very good times living in Colorado together also as well as Erie PA the last 5 years of our marriage. Can you tell I'm lonely. Lol I'm sorry. But yeah I really envy you and anyone who lives their life like this. Happy and safe travels.

[@esthermcdonald2297]

It is always fun traveling with you

[@victoriagoingforit6183]

I watched all of this video and enjoyed it very much! Thank you. I'm with you. I like trees too and especially pine trees. I hope to visit that area sometime. Appreciated your tips too.

[@mikehenry529]

I'm going to miss seeing that Michigan State Parks sticker. Hope you make it back to the UP one of these days.

[@LarryTouchet]

Love your videos

[@grumpybear5305]

I've had several windshields replaced by safelite auto glass ..80% on time..respectful time..2 of the windshields where in my car and cost me nothing..insurance took care of it..company insurance took care of ones in semi trucks 🚚 😊😊😊😊😊

[@ceetee2021]

ooh, you're handling your sewer hose without gloves!!! When I had my windshield replaced they said to let the glue cure for a few hours or better yet over night before subjecting it to road vibration. The result could be water leaking in.

[@faithrada]

Omg.. That Bakery!!! 😋 Having trouble with your towel? 😅 As for the Starlink.. is it possible that all rhe solar flares could be messing with it? We just had the highest rated .. M class, which can interfere with things. Just a thought. That 'not a loop' SCENIC road.. what a FIND! ❤

[@LarryTouchet]

Hello Carolyn live your videos

[@grumpybear5305]

Nice tomatoes 🍅 😊

[@xstanadu]

Luv that you have waggle for your beautiful Sadie 😇 you have a talent for finding the most beautiful areas And peace and quiet ~ The scenery is amazing ~ enjoy and stay safe 😇congrats on getting a new windshield 👏👏😀Glad ya got the windshield fixed a 2nd time ‼️ and the bakery OMG yum 😋…..Geesh …. The windshield still shaky ?!! ! Guess the old cracked one wasn’t so bad ! 🥴 I relate to the patience part . Salad looked so great . PS … thank you for your background research information always making it more interesting . ⭐️

[@ImsunaSong-gw2gs]

Yes..your suppose to let it sit and cure. Love the drive!❤

[@HappyLife693]

I love the campsite in Flaming Gorge.

[@beatricebritt347]

Your food looks to colorful and good.😊

[@lauriesteely8681]

I really like your choice in music this week right on

[@user-sx2yv1sb3q]

Yes, had to replace the broken windshield twice in the Chevy van, The 1st one wouldn't hold the seal eather, and while putting the 2nd one in they noticed a dimple and filled it in, so that seal stayed nicely for a week, then a rock came off a dump truck right on the driver side, and back I went to the same place!! But yes, I can understand your frustration on the window!!

[@darlenewithrow7587]

I got my windows tinted about a month ago. It took 7 days for them to cure because the temps were not high enough to dry em out especially in the shade

[@marlenemanzer1170]

I would be the same way if I were traveling in an RV. I love my privacy! Thanks for the entertaining video!

[@lynnkalles2055]

I'm so excited your back. Looking forward to seeing you each week. Glad you are feeling better ❤xoxo my favorite time zone is pacific standard time here in the beautiful foothills of the north cascades in Washington state 😊

[@tonybalz2726]

I've been there! Its a beautiful part of the state.

[@Splash99]

If I had a pet and lived the nomad life, Waggle would be a priority. MT time zone is my favorite as well. Pacific gives me a detached feeling. Love all your video's Carolyn. Thanks for all your info, discounts and adventures. Checker boarding should be illegal.

[@JKART-do5jc]

I replaced my windshield on my 04 sprinter, but pretty sure I let it sit in driveway for a while. So far so good, years later. I had to take out at home, sand down the rust and prime and paint. Installers came to house, they were awesome. Good luck with that windshield. I loved that flaming gorge area. Had some great times up in that area. Dinosaur National Monument is worth seeing, not far.

[@markcarey5624]

Great video have had many windshields installed. Installer kept my vehicles till the end of the day I guess so it was cured

[@LSChestersMom]

Great video! One thing I have learned is to be patient and do things the right way has saved my serenity and more cost effective :) For me there is never any rush. I love a slow life. :) It's okay for other people to camp :)

[@cynthiam3319]

Flaming Gorge is amazing. I want to do it again. ☮️

[@resinartbycatherine6314]

I don't know if you have a portable blender but a little bit of cilantro olive oil garlic and spinach makes a scrumptious dressing! I LOVE your life❤

[@grumpybear5305]

Any time zone that provides me a pretty view and peace and quiet 🤫 😌 ✨️ ☺️ 👌 😊

[@WhiteTulip22]

Sometimes a person just doesn't feel like chopping. I try to chop in advance and while I'm chopping I sit and watch something interesting on my computer. The ducks honking made my dog jump up and look out the window, lol.

[@poges]

Everything looks so dry. I see snow so guess this is awhile ago. I live on the Westcoast of Canada and much prefer green all year. But you gotta love rain. Enjoy your summer Carolyn.

[@sally_forth]

Thanks for taking us along. Every time I’ve tried iOverlander for boondocking it’s been an epic fail. Based on your experience I may have to give it another go.

[@_LikeATumbleweed]

That salad looks delicious!!!

[@melissabrown6981]

Wyoming is so pretty that time of year. ❤

[@kimkesler7056]

It depends on the weather. And in the semi, they make us sit for 2 to 4 hrs to let it dry

[@marydawkins4190]

I 80 goes through some gorgeous areas. I love going through Pennsylvania on 80! Of course I had to look it up....William Least-Heat Moon, Blue Highways, 1982, autobiographical travel book. Cool! Yes, I will be getting this to read!!

[@eliciamccoy3326]

Great video loved it such a beautiful drive I am like you I love love to escape off into a canyon or forest and live😂 and if I need to see old fossils I just get my mirror

[@jean-paulmorin913]

You can sometimes prevent windshield crack from spreading by notching perpendicular at end of crack. Also you can sometimes "steer" the crack back down to bottom by putting pressure with your palm or an object at end of the crack
