Seeing the Great Lakes for the First Time | Car Camping in New York

[@garydelcourt2791]

Michigan is the place to see the Great Lakes…Lake Superior is incredible especially during a large storm and Lake Michigan is beautiful…

[@nature10879]

I enjoyed this immensely, thanks for posting as always.

[@aaronpolakiewicz1582]

@Sydnie weather tech makes complete vehicle window shades custom to your vehicle. It will block out a lot more light. I grew up camping but unfortunately my family doesn't like it. I did just go for a few nights at Allegany in a rustic cabin with a Woodstove for heat. Had a great time with my son! NYS has a lot of great places to camp.

[@rctd511]

I got excited when you went down the peninsula because it's not far from where I live. Then as I watched and saw the Ripley sign I got more excited and then saw you in Mayville coming to the intersection of 394 and 430 and it made my day! I live in a small town about 10 minutes from there! You were just down the road. If I was to guess I would say you camped by the Chautauqua Gorge State Forest or Mt Pleasant State Forest. At any rate I'm happy you stopped by my area and enjoyed it!

[@Michael-tx7tc]

I really enjoyed watching your videos they run I really like was when you went to Mexico with your parents that was very interesting keep up the good work girl God bless you with all your travel

[@espnmk]

Beautiful fall colors and Lake Erie just amazing in all it's Glory! Of course Sydnie had to move camp spots because of some creep'ish location, lol. Thanks for Sharing be safe and keep the footage coming.

[@fletchdad8755]

I live on Lake Erie , in the city of Erie ! Presque Isle has some great beaches and scenic trails !

[@stacymcmahon453]

Presque Isle is really beautiful and peaceful. Glad you got a chance to check it out! As far as things to do in between, when my wife and I were dating, we drove from DC to Erie and stopped in Punxsutawney for lunch. They have an interesting exhibit about Groundhog Day, and you can see the actual groundhogs.

[@sydniestateofmind]

I considered stopping there haha

[@UrbanXExplorer]

Girl ya go !!! Atleast your going before winter sets in and not stuck up north because they get huge amounts of snow, plus ya don't have to having to deal with iced up roads. Keep on keeping on!! 👏👏 it's my saying that I say..lol keep safe,warm and keep that smile up. 😉

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

Sydnie I am in Australia and they are on my bucket list so thank you for sharing this with me means a lot to me love 🥰 john

[@russgilbertson8689]

Without cell service you have to relied on the map Your Dad use. If the grid goes down, this way of doing things is very good , once you get your confident up, and also ask people at the general store or quickie mart.

[@Rod1armysdad]

Hello Sydnie! I thank you for your content. Following all the time. From NC.

[@aguyinarkansas]

A friend of mine and I took a road trip last year living our state of Arkansas and traveled to western New York, Niagara Falls and into Canada, back into Michigan. We ended up,seeing all 5 Great Lakes in our 3300 mile road trip. Keep up your travels and thanks for sharing

[@sydniestateofmind]

I want to go back up and explore more of the lakes eventually. So beautiful.

[@aguyinarkansas]

@ western New York was incredible. Tons of waterfalls. Buttermilk Falls was a neat one

[@donanderson9477]

Beautiful scenery. You ever get lonely on the road?? Wrong time if year but you should come to Midwest next year. Plenty of camping and clear streams and lakes ✌✌ Be safe.

[@jon-yj5jg]

thanks for posting

[@MARKCANEER]

Thank You for sharing another Great Video!! Stay Safe, keep posting and I'll keep watching.🙏👍🐕‍🦺

[@sr208703]

Incredible music!

[@goober9983]

Places with no cell service gets me excited. I would like to move there. 😊😊

[@shehroz6220]

The drone shots were gorgeous.

[@csscott9803]

Thanks for sharing🙏😁

[@briandye860]

Be safe out there. ❤

[@crantheman77]

Appreciate the videos! Thank you

[@willythewave]

Can I just tell you that you are beautiful and amazing? I hope you have a wonderful fall and winter season forthcoming. Thank you for sharing your life. :)

[@UnWindDaily2]

[@UnWindDaily2]

Time changes on Sunday fall back 😁

[@UnWindDaily2]

Oh my gosh you always GO above and beyond on your photos ♥🫶 I’m scared to see Big Foot too always go by whatcha feel can’t go wrong stay safe stay hydrated I love your videos 👍😁♥❣

[@fabiennedelforge]

Belgique 🇧🇪 ❤❤😊

[@randallpaul8712]

❤ I live Upstate New York around the Finger Lakes I enjoy watching your channel you are so beautiful

[@OutWestKenny]

I grew up on the grate lakes in Michigan

[@fredricjulien8738]

Nice vid Syd. 😊 You were close to my neck of the woods when you went to Erie. I live in Michigan, not far from Lake Huron. Glad you got to experience for the first time in your life, standing next to a Great Lake. The water temp is a bit chilly to go swimming this time of year. Don't be too freaked out over Bigfoot. He likes to put the fear in pretty young girls, but I heard he's actually kind of a wimp. 🐵 See you in the next one as your adventure continues.

[@roylivingston9085]

Bigfoots real name darryl.

[@rachelmaher8406]

wow you are at my neck of the woods. you should go to the adirandacks. my favorite spot in the whole world.

[@jo100]

My Brothers And Sisters, The Parks In The East Coast of America 🇺🇸 are very very very Beautiful For Real.

[@kro_sober]

I agree that the lake is dope, the trees also look amazing. I'm jealous we didn't have that here in our country. Btw maybe it's just me but your videography has been improved 👌👌👌

Sydnie, you should think about getting a gps for your car, then you wont have to worry about cell service, they work from satellite, not cell signal. Look at Magellan or Garmin, I think you could find one that's not that expensive. I've had good luck with Magellan in my older truck that didn't come with a navigation system.

[@sydniestateofmind]

I have a Garmin and an iridium sat phone. I just like camp sites with service because I enjoy doom scrolling

@@sydniestateofmind Oh, ok. Stay safe and have a great day.

[@Jack-v8h4k]

Awesome video!!! ❤

[@jonathankinney2364]

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@bryanirwin5473]

You drove under a roller coaster and said nothing. lol The view of the lake from the top of the first hill on that roller coaster is breathtaking.

[@UrbanXExplorer]

You should like get a hardback note book and collect each states sticker and add them. That way you have awesome travel portfolio of stickers from every state you visited an many years down the road you can always show friends of all places you visited.

[@sydniestateofmind]

I've been placing them on my cooler!

[@UrbanXExplorer]

@sydniestateofmind kool 😊 just be safe out there. When I start my journey after new years I'm taking couple of my good buddies, Smith & Wesson 😜 ya just never no when you might need them, specially in parks where bears are Bob cats, mountain lions.

[@rogertessier4226]

love your videos❤

[@Super23_Super23]

Pop tarts... nature's most perfect food

[@opiealvin]

New York Recommendations: Niagara Falls, Letchworth State Park, and Watkins Glen State Park. Old Fort Niagara is right on Lake Ontario. Safe travels.

[@sydniestateofmind]

I'll have to go back

[@RobertPeru2749]

cool campsite

[@wilE6764]

Sheetz are the best!

[@WyldeHills]

Try getting a WeBoost Overland version. It is amazing!!

[@sydniestateofmind]

I looked into them the other day....didn't realize how expensive they are. oof.

[@WyldeHills]

@@sydniestateofmind You are right. Mine was about $500.00. I have heard that in the long run, especially as a content creator that is often way out in the sticks that it "pays for itself" in reduced gas costs. I don't know how true that is, since I only really do instagram atm.

[@pozitivevibez007]

Great views! Where do u get ur music from.?

[@sydniestateofmind]

Epidemic sound

[@craigattaway1410]

Texas says howdy 🤠

[@rastusbojangles]

brown cinnamon poptarts are the best.

[@stephencamperlivinglife]

I doing that life 9 month car camper bravo 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jonathankinney2364]

Syddddd! Sarah’s coming to visit tomorrow :)

[@sydniestateofmind]

SARRRRRRR tell her hi

[@michelled3867]

How do you find your camp spots? I would like to try venturing out here and there, but how do you find beautiful free camp spots like you do? Thanks, just started following.

[@sydniestateofmind]

An app called iOverlander!

[@Alikhantanoli-yf6mo]

Gorgeous life

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Beautiful place. 👍44

[@justinvardas8654]

Hi Sydney! Do you pay for all your campgrounds? Thanks 😊

[@intotheoutside4299]

new here! love the videos!

[@dalepatrick6480]

Bigfoot needs ❤ too😅😅

[@garrieparker4837]

You should pick up and Atlas of the United States from a gas station or book store for back up when you can't get service instead of guessing. That only leads to hours out of your way at times.

[@woodlandcrow]

People can also download Google maps for use offline but it is more fun without it lol.

[@kebbykebs23]

♥️

[@condor.67]

What if I tell you bigfoots are actually quite diplomatic?

[@blaksupreme1044]

hello from Cleveland Ohio

[@tjellis1479]

Juneau Alaska? No but I hope to someday see what I did there....stayed tuned for my next comment.

[@TC_Conner]

It's 11am as I post this comment and at 3:42 in you prompted me to go eat! And yes, PopTarts!! (If you think that's funny, reply "that's funny" and you'll earn a new subscriber from KY via PA. 😎)

[@dennisdevore1648]

Where are you from, Sydnie?

[@sydniestateofmind]

VA

[@nicholasblue]

Bigfoot is not really a thing in upstate New York, despite what any wishful thinking locals might think. You're more likely to run into a semi-lost hunter. (They can't find where they parked the truck). Slaínte.☘️😎

[@Alikhantanoli-yf6mo]

😮😮😮

[@imsnowedn]

22 miles with no service. How ever to survive. Life actually is better with no cell service for 5-6 days. Then you realize you are missing nothing. Looks like a great location this time of year!

[@gtrpkr2487]

I agree that you don’t always need to be on your phone. In some cases you need service for directions, gas,groceries and so on. Most people her age have no clue how to read a paper map. Not trying to criticize, but truth is the truth. I enjoy your travels and have been doing hiking of my own. I don’t live in my vehicle. So, kudos to you. Great job.

[@eagleeye8920]

You are bold to camp alone in this place

[@sydniestateofmind]

It's no biggie

[@sydniestateofmind]

Unless bigfoot is lurking.

[@dakotajahnke8142]

You are so beautiful smart and ambitious they needs to be more girls like you 👏 👏

[@figueroa1972]

Great taste in music Syd! Be safe......pumping seeds ...hummm?

[@JoshTaylor-sx4yb]

Hi beautiful 🌹🌹

[@mikesears2857]

You wernt that far from Niagara Falls. Bet camping in NYS is up near Inlet NY Moose River plains wild forest all primitive sites.

[@sydniestateofmind]

I contemplated going but decided against it. Oops

[@jlea2480]

Your cup had mice pee on it?😳

[@budwilliams6590]

Bye

[@darinhyden672]

Yep, camp looked kind of squatchie.

[@swilsher]

I enjoy your videos but a couple of ideas: 1 the drive away shots don’t really add anything significant to your storyline because each time you do them we all know you must go back to retrieve your camera. Maybe hovering your drone capturing your drive away would be more entertaining (but unnecessary). 2 not sure if you are aware but you can download maps for an area ahead of time so if you lose signal you can still have a map to use.

[@RRW177]

i like them. they add context and perspective

[@ribo451]

From what I’ve heard of New York on the news I’m surprised you weren’t murrderred at least twice while you were there. Tv tells me it’s dangerous.

[@p0cket4rt]

Not to be that guy, but shes caucasian. They are highly protected in america.

[@RicardoRoams]

I was born and spent the first 14 years of my life in western New York state. It sounds like this is the area that Sydnie is in now. I can tell you that part of the state is beautiful! Close proximity to both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, not to mention Niagara Falls. Winters can be extreme. I am curious as to which TV channels you are watching.

[@ribo451]

Whichever ones have “Law and Order” on them.
