Slab City// Solo Woman Travels Alone to Slab City: Day 1

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Sorry folks, tough day with the camera gear; it's a little rough..

[@yendor1232]

Hey what is the music your using in the video, I like it

[@peacedove9513]

Carolyn's RV Life Is it Neil Young?

[@captmcgillacutty4458]

Great video! Is Capone your cameraman? lol. Is camera mounted on your rig or are u holding it while u drive?

[@CarolynsRVLife]

It's free music by KZbin, called "hooky with Sloane" by Bird Creek. I can't afford Neil Young rights!!! :-)

[@CarolynsRVLife]

One cam sits on a tripod between the seats the new 6Mega action cam attached to my steering wheel, still trying to figure out all the attachments that one comes with.

[@Burtraw13]

It beats being homeless on the streets in the city. I think it's awesome, everyone needs a place!

[@jerryroberts7487]

Unfold that 2nd chair so no one assumes you are alone! :)

[@kaynuritdinov3055]

Jerry Roberts ...GOOD ADVICE !!!!

[@nfoss5656]

Are they using the tires to mark their property? I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think it looks like a dump site.

[@davidbacon9223]

is your cup half empty or half full? (keep stacking tires?)

[@dewardthornton7201]

I visited Slab City about 4 months ago. First thing I noticed was that Salvation Mountain looks like crap since Leonard passed away. He took much better care of it. Next thing I noticed was that it looked like no one picked up trash any more - especially on the way down to the library. I know this is the last stop for a lot of poor people and those trying to really get away from it all, but I took it off my list as a place to spend a few days.

[@williamstamper442]

Maybe bury the trash when you got a heap? That's what all metropolitan cities do...just sayin

[@TheDmac66]

I hope you stop in and see the library. Thanks for showing some of the "real"slabs, most folks only video the Range, East Jesus and Salvation Mt. They never bother to show what the rest of the slabs are like. Hope you have fun.

[@crankynomad3786]

Take me down to sketchy Slab City, where trash is piled, but the art is pretty. Slab City is actually one of the places I REALLY want to visit when I hit the road.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Well worth it. I had a GREAT time. I wouldn't be able to stay all winter but it's a fun place to visit and explore. Looking forward to sharing my next 2 vids about the art and the people. Great experience.

[@dkh1020]

OMG, ROFL!!!!!!!

[@drpackinwood2]

I don't consider old tires, grafiti and piles of trash any kind of art. Just sayin.

[@Inertia888]

Eye of the beholder...

[@jenniferwyatt7481]

Cranky Nomad ... me toi

[@ericbost4882]

I enjoyed that! I sing on the PCT on long hauls. Sometimes I get 60's musicals in my head. Gotta sing them so they get out of my head.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

LOL.. yeah.. singing helps pass the time!

[@barneymerrill3188]

Thought you were going to run that 'STOP' sign on the way to 'Slab City' for a moment!!! ;)

[@bealynn2258]

Barney Merrill ME TOOO!! lolol!!

[@janicehart5397]

I thought so too!!! whew.......

[@CarolynsRVLife]

heeee heeee. have to behave on camera!

[@gkeller9958]

Good thing you put new brakes on. Lol

[@missyb2366]

Me too Barney Merrill! I was holding my breath, and pushing an imaginary brake pedal LOL.

[@joanhazelgrove9444]

Is this Slab City like hippyville? I can relate; was a hippie once (kind of). Had a VW camper van, hair below my waist and played Janis Joplin on the VCR. Ha! Many decades ago. Love your outfit and hat.

[@joanhazelgrove9444]

Not VCR, it was 8-track! Almost forgot what we had back then.

[@dkh1020]

So glad you persued Marketing and not Music LOL! Your rendition of Paridise city brought back memories of Wierd Al Yankovick.Everytime I hear Queen another one Bites the dust, the words get overlaid in my head with "Another one rides the bus"! No worries, I won't hear your version of Paradise city over the original :)

[@CarolynsRVLife]

LOL!!! Wierd Al was great!!

[@dkh1020]

Greetings again, I can understand some of the concerns posted by your viewers as I have read some really cool stuff and some bad stuff about Slab City. I know of one You Tube personality that was literally chased out of the slabs and likely for a very good reason. You know what is in your comfort zone. Just be safe. looking forward to your perspectives on the slabs. Will I go there? We shall see:)

[@grimalkin5706]

Thank you Carolyn for sharing your trip to the Grand Canyon! I have flown over it but never got that close. Spent 45 years living in Utah and didn't ever visit it. Now as an RV'er I plan to visit thanks to your encouragement!!

[@jenhasken]

“Oh my gosh I spend way too much time alone” lol! You are a joy to watch Carolyn keep taking care out there!

[@grayewolfe6335]

Thanks Carolyn! Another awesome video. Just bought a 30' Coachman Leprechaun, and it's only thanks to you and Bob Wells (I wish I had his beard) that I fell in love with the thought of RV'ing as a full time lifestyle. I've been a Marine (White House Duty, Arlington Funerals, at 8th & I in Washington D.C., as well as an Infantry Marine in Iraq 2005 and 2006, and a Soldier serving in Afghanistan with the Reserves, and even with all of that, I consider you and Bob to be the biggest inspiration in my life. You've taught kindness, patience, voicing your opinion and most importantly, just letting the day lead my dreams. Thanks! My hero.

[@davidbacon9223]

JUMPING-JACKS for fee church meals! (White House Duty!)

[@lowellwells8370]

Carolyn, i was too, i join with all the people that said so below, I was yelling at the screen "That's a stop sign STOP, STOP" i do have a question though, How do you find a parking place in Slab City. Do you just drive around until you find a place that looks like someone camped there before but moved on? You have definitely shown me a place to stop and stay awhile. Love it, thank you.

[@NixxmomR]

I stumbled upon a slab city vlog recently and I was amazed. I can't ever imagine living that primitively forever but the residents seem to be content and that's all that matters. You have to look deeper than the "trash" to understand the beauty.

[@MicahsHope48]

Yes, yes, yes. Absolutely correct!

[@Guinevere.625]

That’s so very true

[@tomd2833]

Those capable of contentment will always be satisfied.... Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

[@spankthemonkey3437]

Drugs will make you feel like a cardboard box is a mansion

[@desertweasel6965]

Don't look too deeply or you might stumble upon a hole full of shit.

[@ChrissyD22472]

Hi Carolyn and Capone.. How are you both? I've been busy watching April the giraffe and waiting for her to have her baby.. I've found it very relaxing.. You know what I like about you Carolyn, when shit happens you take it in stride.. More ppl should be like that.. I watch all kinds of stuff on you tube and when i see the remarks or the chat i've found more hateful ppl than not, i don't get it.. why so hateful all the time? anyhow, it is refreshing to come to your channel and watch someone up beat, so thanks for that.. hope you had a great time in Slab City!

[@MrB_and_me]

I love what you said about living fearlessly! That's my goal every day. It's not always easy, but I really appreciate the reminder.

[@craigleibbrand7761]

As long as you're prepared

[@andiestewart7423]

CM Ping I’m sure not everyone is like that. Don’t be so ignorant

[@andiestewart7423]

Watch the Rabbithole videos. They’re pretty inventive

[@nomadicfoodie6286]

People living without systemic overlords (on stolen lands)

[@margaretmodrovsky1350]

I recently saw a vlog of slab city that was done by the Nomadic fanatic and I have to say this place gives me the creeps ! I love going to places where there is police protection etc You have more nerve than i. I love that song you were singing though . Is this place a former military site ? I have to check on its history . Thanks for another interesting vlog. Take care !

[@courtneykirk478]

Hahahahahahaha!! Ms. Modrovsky, I fell out laughing from your statement "it gives me the creeps". I got tickled. Huuuuuuuuuggg.

[@NYUTisch]

Very well shot video and energetically narrated video clip. Thank you Carolyn

[@imfreetobeme8]

Never heard of Slab city before ...your fearlessness is what's so encouraging ....we should all live that way

[@KJAdventures]

I am fascinated with slab city, can't wait to see it one day! Great footage, thank you for tour! 👍

[@burningbeard9478]

.....shit Carolyn traveling to slab city solo gives you some real street cred in my book....damn girl be safe down there

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍I agree about living fearlessly. Going alone is definitely something I would have challenged myself to do but after tagging along with you I can take it off of my bucket list now. 👍😃 Thanks for sharing the experience. I look forward to parts II & III. Wishing you the best. 🤗💞🤗

[@CarolynsRVLife]

It's all part of the adventure!! :-) thanks so much for hanging with me!

[@oregonmom24]

I'll bet it's unbearable hot in the summer

[@rbagel55]

You are right, it can get like 50C or 122F, the kind of heat that will kill you.

[@lastnamefirst4035]

And no water to take a shower

[@free2runferal]

I've always wondered what Slab City looks like. I'm looking forward to part 2. The art in places like this is always so interesting. As far as safety goes, it's a good bet that everyone out there just wants to be left alone and do their own thing. They aren't really paying any unnecessary attention to anyone else outside of staying aware of their surroundings. In college and for a year or two afterward, I lived with a roommate in the ghetto part of my town and we never locked our door, because no one had anything worth stealing in our neighborhood, including us. :D We made friends with the homeless in the area. I never once felt unsafe. A healthy amount of awareness is, well, healthy but outright fear comes from misunderstanding, or as you said, believing the media's fear mongering. And, I'll have to check out the link to your new gear to see if it might be something I might could use. I might need me something a little better than my Canon point-and-shoot if I ever convince myself to brave the land of youtube.

[@patriciabowler]

Awesome, I love that you do what you want to do and don't avoid a place like this because you are a female travelling solo! We're planning a RV trip to slab city and Salton Sea. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Excellent. I hope you enjoy it all as much as I did. I found it all fascinating! thanks for watching!

[@deedeew4040]

Carol, you will never have any regrets, you are living your life as you see fit. Good for you!! I have never heard of Slab City until I started watching the videos full time Rvers. Experiencing life to its fullest.

[@daveogarf]

CAROLYYYYN! Great job, despite equipment SNAFUs. WOW! So, that's Slab City. Every time I see vid of it, it offers a whole new perspective. First read about it in the Sunday LA Times many years ago. They detailed the whole Imperial Valley area including the Salton Sea, Imperial Valley agriculture, Slab City, Salvation Mountain, etc. For those who are curious, Slab City started out as a WW II Marine Corps training facility, Camp Dunlap. Later abandoned, Camp Dunlap fell into disrepair, the only remnants being the concrete slabs that the barracks were built on. Since then, it's been used by RVers, squatters, artists and others who've sought refuge from the hectic world outside. (Should sound familiar with anyone who knows Carolyn's story). Thank you, Carolyn! You promised, and you delivered. It's an amazing place, alrighty-right.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you very much Dave! Thanks for the info too.. planned on putting some history in the next couple of vids. you saved me some research!!

[@daveogarf]

You are so welcome, Ms. Friendly! :-D A little further info.: Apparently, there's an active bombing range nearby. To the east are the Chocolate Mountains, and a long-abandoned rail line connects the Eagle Mountain Iron Mine, owned by shipbuilding magnate, Henry J. Kaiser, to the coast. There are rumors that Slab City may be sold; nothing definite yet. Again - Yes, it looks decrepit and like a dumping ground, but if one can stand the up to 120-degree summer heat, it is possible to live there year-round as a few hardy souls do. Bleepnsheep is right about poverty: there are no facilities - no water, electricity, sewers, food or fuel. It's kind of the epitome of self-sufficiency, and perfect for Our Lady of the Lone Journey. ;-) Oh! And Capone.

[@daveogarf]

If I may, just ran across this quote from Henry J Kaiser hisself: "Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition -- in having to put forth the best within you to match the deeds of risk-taking, hard-working competitors." Henry J. Kaiser, industrialist

[@jenhasken]

Very curious to ask you about being sensitized to noise living on the road. I’m experiencing that too! Especially music! Why do you think that is?

[@kathyadam9932]

My mother grew up fishing with my grandparents at the salton sea. Thank you for showing how it looks today. I was down their in my youth but have always wanted to return. You travel to the best locations. I love learning. You have a great voice and you are so much fun. You brighten up each of my days.

[@elainej9127]

I look forward to your interviews. Anyone of us could be living on the edge with a string of bad luck. We shouldn't judge the people living there simply because they have been down on their luck. I bet you will find some beautiful souls just making the best of what they have. I like your music and your outfit. You are a free spirit and I love that.

[@trisix99]

Elaine J my favorite comment... I’m thinking about going

[@trisix99]

I’d rather travel north to Seattle though to live in the green but I want to see what it’s like down there.

[@bonniek9031]

Top advice of the day:::: "Cant judge people, just by looking!", So, this place looks a little different.Probably, the same type of people their as anywhere else. Looks kinda interesting. You go to it,miss Carolyn. Do what you do best, to educate, be smart at what your doing, an having a fun time doing it!!!

[@charleswaye8536]

Many Thanks for these vids Carolyn, Slab City first glance is a very entertaining looking place, much appreciated. While I've not made the move into RV living here in Australia just yet, I've a distinct feeling it will not be long, particularly if I keep watching your vids. Forgive me for this, but over recent years the news from out of America hasn't done the tourist industry any favours, it got that bad that the comment became the normal, "Well, there's another reason to not go to the USA", cruel but after watching your vids, there's really ONE good reason to go, to go RV living in Arizona!! Keep on doing what you're doing, please!!

[@papisaoco708]

Watched these all out of order but i love these vids on slab city. Day 3 still my fav gettin to kno the ppl u interviewed & their stories❤️

[@LostOnLandAgain]

Great drive thru tour. What a unique community. How did you decide where to make camp? What a fun adventure!!! Good for you! You are so right, the world isn't nearly as bad as they make it out to be. :) Safe journeys my friend!

[@Mike-cr4pl]

Slab city is on my to do list for sure. I've read alot about it and everyone basically has said "dont let how it looks scare you away". Safe travels!

[@gmaneis]

Interesting video, Carolyn. Looks like something straight from the 1969 "Easy Rider" and Woodstock era. Stay safe, and thanks for posting this glance at a very different kind of camping.

[@louvin5671]

slab city is not somewhere I would go personally. thank you for sharing it. I can watch you through my screen and that is good enough for me. be safe.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

thanks Louvin!!

[@teresapridham8077]

You're Hilarious. Before I started following your page I had no idea these kind of places existed, so very interesting. If you ever did run into a bad person do you think Capone would protect you? I often wonder about my dog Maya, part German Shepherd part cattle dog, not sure hoping her look alone would scare someone off.

[@Nhgfdsawertyu]

Carolyn, What is the music you use at the very beginning of your videos as the intro ? I really like that.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

it's called eagle rock. from KZbin creator studio

[@enlightenedlight2902]

I love your fearless spirit. You inspire me sis!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I'm so glad!

[@shelswanderlust2906]

Just found your videos a few weeks ago and I love em all!!! Thank you so much for all the info you have given this new RV'er.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Welcome Shelly and thanks for joining me! glad you enjoy the adventures!

[@michelehebert8186]

... have been wanting to comment for some time..finally..and by the way great hat!!...feel as though am living vicariously thru your travels, videos, postings..etc...thnk you!!

[@michaelrice3021]

I think Mr. Huell Howser [God rest his soul] took us on a T. V. tour of Salvation Mtn. Your vid [I thoroughly enjoyed] is my 1st glimpse of the slabs--I've been hearing about it for years. I'm laughing my ass off at the comments. Slab City is endlessly fascinating to me.

[@MicahsHope48]

You are so very, very correct about the media hype, fear mongering and other "let's sell news" stories that come from the media. I learned years ago: if you want the real truth, go and experience it (using the common sense we all were hopefully born with). Enjoyed the story in your video sprinkled with healthy doses of common sense and respect for those who live there whether by choice or circumstance.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Bonnie --- LOVE your comment... you are so right.. and thank you! 3 >3

[@TheNoonie50]

Hi Carolyn! I don't like to buy into the gloom and doom and fear based thinking either, but I think I'll have to work my way up to Slab City when I hit the road.... or not!! ha ha As always great video.

[@maine044]

Glad you are sharing! Thank you! Not sure we would want to visit there... Can't wait to see more of the art work.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

oh wait til you see!! the art moved me.. Amazing stuff!

[@riskybizness00]

God bless you Carolyn and God bless the folks in Slab City - surviving and living. Recall seeing a show years ago about Slab City when a little show called 'California Gold' came through there - a lot has changed but there are good people through there. Like that you are a brave one - cautious and willing -- I think everyone needs that in this life.

[@zainameredith7792]

I saw you support a place in Fairfield, CA. Fairfield and Vallejo are more scarier than what I've seen and know about Slab City. :)

[@ari.4536]

Thanks Carolyn. Interesting looking place, nice to visit and experience, but not to live. Pretty barren out there by the looks. Enjoyed the driving camera work. Keep safe, and happy, and kind to yourself and Capone 😀🇦🇺😀🇺🇸😀

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Ari.. yes, I don't think I could spend more than a few days at a time there...maybe a week. I'm fascinated by sociology and the human condition so this was a very interesting social construct for me to experience. stay tuned for the next vids that go more into the sociology of it.

[@ari.4536]

I'm sure there are some great people living there but you would have to truly love the isolation and off the grid lifestyle to remain living there full time. Look forward to your next vids 😀🇦🇺😀🇺🇸😀

[@EN-fl6dv]

Carolyn, you are so brave. You made my day. Thanks for the drive thru.

[@stephengomes977]

The roads and terrain remind me of field training exercises (FTX) I was in at Fort Bliss ('81-'83) the road around 8:30 reminds me of the tank trails we drove through,and like you sometimes had to walk the area to make sure we didn't hit soft sand and get stuck in our deuce and a half (2.5 ton trucks) or five tons. The bad thing was sometimes we didn't have strip maps and you had to make sure you kept up in the convoy especially at night - that was stressful, especially before the advent of night vision technologies. Thank you for taking us along!

[@andiestewart7423]

FINALLY get to see the road in ! First video I’ve watched with the full place. Thanks

[@valerie4286]

Don't think your "crazy" jealous actually. I am following you because I'd like to embark on my own journey - hopefully before the snow flies this year. love your videos

[@TexCynRVLife]

Thank you for the different view of Slab City. It's different & interesting as you drive through.

[@LadyMiriamVera]

Hey Carolyn! Did you see any evidence that slab city will be or is up for sale by California? I've watched 2015 footage of meetings taking place in slab city stating as much.

[@donibritts2911]

Oh, Carolyn...don't stay there. It looks a bit.....rough. Surprised that I didn't see a single "actual" dumpster there. It looks like a huge landfill that they forgot to cover with dirt. Mt. Trashmore looked interesting though. Be careful there.

[@tylerrodney540]

I am thinking of getting a bus together, remodeling it and then hitting the road again, previous adventures I've made without a vehicle, but I'm wondering, how easy is it to stake a claim in Slab City?

[@Goodgrief7811]

I'm glad you took us with you. How far to a store or water?

[@davidbacon9223]

check Google Maps!

[@blborto5989]

Enjoyed the tour AND the music!! Can't wait for the tour on foot. Love seeing the country thru your eyes. Thx so much 😊

[@CarolynsRVLife]

YOU rock my friend.. :-) thank you so much.

[@hazysativa3045]

Cool. I visited slob city in the late 90's. It was wild back and the contrast of people was astonishing. I wouldn't go back nowadays though.

[@NatureGloseScience]

So fun "driving" with you around Slab City. I'm really digging it here too!

[@gmaneis]

Interesting video, Carolyn. Looks like something from the 1969 Woodstock/"Easy Rider" era. Thanks for showing this very different kind of camping.

[@stevenmbell]

Very proud of you. You have more courage than most. This is a big accomplishment for most women but you have more than your share already.Peace!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Steven.. thank you so much! I appreciate your kind and encouraging comment. I truly believe MOST people are kind and if you use some common sense you can experience wonderful things!!

[@jaysuper8255]

I like the wider angle and higher resolution on the new camera. Looking forward to your next Salvation Mountain Vlog.

[@bethmay191]

Cracking your ownself up is the best!!😄

[@CarolynsRVLife]

heee heee. Glad you understand!!!

[@bethmay191]

Sure I do..I love me..😉

[@phyllisgayhardt3374]

I enjoy your determination to be a free spirit

[@redherringbone]

You got a "like" just for the singing/making up songs. We are twinsies for sure! LoL I don't talk as much as you do but hey...I'm a new subbie today! 21APR17, currently on vacation in Playa del Carmen.I've got plenty of your vids to catch up on.

[@repponter5244]

Carolyn, GREAT VIDEO! I'm glad your microphone crapped out! Loved the music. I can't drive my Class C with the radio on either, you have to pay attention. Music reminded me of Delbert McClinton, probably did'nt spell that right. When you get the notion, find Box Car Blues, and, If you can't lie no better, by Delbert, I love it Rep in Maryland

[@LilannB]

I remember watching videos of Nomadic Fanatic in Slab City and thinking the place looked like a hovel on the edge of town where bums go to live. Not a place I'd like to visit.

[@davidbacon9223]

why don't you ask these lost desert folks to do JUMPING-JACKS for a cup of sugar?!

[@GeorgePencilArt]

Some good shots. Never would have heard about this place if it weren't for RV and van dwellers showing it. :)

[@Easternoregonleatherpounder]

I've seen Slab City videos a million times so I don't feel like I need to go there (but I will when I get down there) but its still interesting to see how individuals interpret it. How do all those people get water? Where do they empty their waste?

[@spiritzweispirit1st638]

Wow! Trippy Place!...So Glad Your Spirit is So Strong😀 Music's gettin more Stronger Too! Cool stuff!!!..a Band You know?🎼🎶

[@NoRINO212]

Congrat that you got there, every sites are long term squatters for free, but I heard Imperial County was contemplating on charging user's fee a couple years ago.

[@epen1898]

Good for you, having your adventure, checking out Slab City for yourself. No radio, no problem, sing a silly song. All my songs are silly, I can never remember the lyrics.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

[@beatniksvintage]

I love crazy places like this. Great video, it's fun to experience new things that are out of the norm. I think some people don't understand that a lot of RVers are following the weather so no, they're not going to be on the east coast or in the midwest this time of year, it's too cold! The desert is the place to be this time of year. Have fun! Keep singing!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

thanks Tonya!! yes, I love to experience everything! I think the best experiences are these.. thank you.

[@jjjnettie]

In a place such as this, I'd take the exact same precautions I'd take anywhere else. At night, put away anything that you don't want stolen and keep an eye out for anyone who is overly interested in what you are doing. You're fortunate you have your dog with you. I choose not to travel with animals as they prevent me from being able to camp in National Parks here in Oz.

[@Larry-herenow]

Thanks for the tour Carolyn, looking forward to the follow-up. I've never been there (not sure why) but I just added Slab City to my bucket list.

[@carolann2710]

there are a lot lot of nice people there don't be afraid I go there every year in October and November and listen to the vans on Friday and Saturday night

[@heartbeat59]

Great job on your video! Music was excellent also. Loved the outfit that you wore. Thanks for sharing!

[@IMSiegfried]

Ditto!

[@scretiredff5906]

You need to carry around one of those GPS locators that you can use in case you have an emergency if are in trouble, be safe

[@jaysuper8255]

I like the new camera, nice wide angle....Other KZbin channel also keep it on the low down....smart move....Where do you know where to park for the night not knowing your on someone's "claimed "space"...?

[@enjoylifejourney1669]

I would go there just because it's there. It's what adventure is about. As long as the souls are good i look pass what it looks like. She was only visiting the place and not to stay there. Living free with nature has an appeal that is very attractive. Explore different places you learn more about the world and those in it.

[@nancynightingale6267]

Fun music choice, Carolyn ! I'm boogeying away here in southern California ! Ha !

[@thatmarionchickonyoutube7545]

What's the deal with Slab City? Nomadic Fanatic did a video when he was there but this doesn't look anything like his video. Is it a dangerous place? Just curious!😜

[@majilique]

Wow, interesting place. Looking forward to the other two videos. Am curious as to what the tats are. The big one looks almost like a phoenix. Eventually I'll have my dragon on my back between my shoulder blades.

[@JOEYHIPHOP2008]

Looking good Carolyn . And Capone looks like he is in watchdog mode ..⚓

[@susanseidler9860]

Looks a little post apocolyptic.

[@jerrywhite3095]

Looks like Kim from China pressed his little button.

[@kathyleners600]

I was thinking the same thing !! Way CoOL Tho

[@nomadicfoodie6286]

no, it looks like most of the world everyone in North America is afraid of with a LOT of creative peasants outside the system. Evolve, or assimilate into the corporateocracy

[@jenniferwyatt7481]

I think you are brave! Thank you for your videos

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

Good. For. You.!!!! That outfit and the music are a nice combo for this video. You rock lady!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Awww. thanks Carolena!

[@soonerorlater9883]

ok, no. the music sucks. I find it difficult to believe anyone prefers it to either silence or the expected, associated sounds.

[@carolyntolliver1146]

Why all the used tires all over the place? Is there garbage pick up, place looks REALLY trashy, or is that the whole point of Slab City?

[@Paul-tu8fg]

You go, girl! Have fun. Stay alert.

[@Inertia888]

Carolyn, you did a really good job on this video and personally I dig the music : )

[@kmm129]

Glad you are cautious, (and smart). Loved Slab City, always wanted to see it. Be well. Woof.

[@spinningwheelsroadtravels5122]

Hey, you made a good video. That music is magic, along with the tattoo, and the attitude. Nothing to fear but fear itself. Enter the portal.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Awwww. you are so kind. thank you for watching and expressing your appreciation!

[@spinningwheelsroadtravels5122]

Read it again. I just edited it.

I think its amazing what you've done and are doing! Its cool how you bring us all along with you on your journeys/adventures. And no joke, in the not too distant future, I think I may be doing the same thing. I love the outdoors and travelling, and so does my dog. All the best, safe travels.

I would love to see it, but would never camp there alone. You are braver than I. In the past there have been several loose dogs, so I would keep an eye on Capone. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences.
