Solo Female RV Life//3 Stories of Camping on Public Lands in Colorado

[@nancysmith4184]

So impressed how you have trained Sadie..I never miss a video, Thank you for taking me out of downtown St. Louis and into beautiful places, All while I am in the comfort of my recliner chair. Also, I love your “As I see it” videos. You’re one down to earth extremely smart cookie...👏👏👏😊

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching Nancy. I appreciate you!

[@faithrada]

I know hu? Carolyn does all the work... and we reap the harvest of her adventures. So grateful. 🌲🌾🌳🍁

[@sandrarantala1175]

We love camping off season, solitude is healing

[@blazerebal6946]

Kudos to you for sticking it out in spite of the noise. Leadville is so beautiful and you did find a perfect spot!

[@sandywalburn7196]

What a beautiful area. Love watching you and Sadie. She is such a beautiful and smart fur baby. What an amazing job you have done with her. Safe travels. 🤗💕

[@jean-paulmorin913]

It is amazing .

[@susanclark9024]

So nice out there. Love it

[@UncleMo2]

WOW, Colorado is so beautiful! Awesome to see Sadie so alert and watchful over her surroundings. All the hours you have put into training have definitely been paying off. Her counting is impressive and adorable! Safe & happy travels :)

[@brainmaker4495]

Carolyn, I tell you, everyone seems very stressed at this point. Like, way extra stressed. I am finding it doesn’t help as much as it normally did, to get my introvert-mandated quiet time. The stress doesn’t seem to subside. Of course, I’ve had the fires and smoke to deal with on top of everything else. It really is relentless. The confusion and switching of what is open and where it’s better or worse and on and on... I wish you some serious peace and quiet going forward. I know this video was a month ago already. Who know what we are dealing with now! Stay strong. -Suzanna

[@juliegiles334]

I actually went through Colorado and Leadville a few weeks ago. It was packed with people. One sporting goods place had people lines out the door and on the sidewalk. Too busy for me. I'm shocked about fireworks as I thought they had a statewide ban on any fire. Colorado is a beautiful state. Glad you enjoyed your summer.

[@chrisr.1803]

Sadie is sooo smart! And you are an excellent teacher!

[@judyabernathy80]

Beautiful camping spot. Sadie just has a ball no matter where she is! Simply a happy girl. Love watching her play!! ♥️❣️♥️

[@MissTree22]

You, my dear, are a BREATH OF FRESH AIR 🌬

[@kimdolly]

I wish so much that we had a love button. I adore seeing Sadie play! Happy Trails Carolyn and thank you for keeping it real. My family and I are fulltime RV dwellers for 3 months now and counting. We are having the best time so far. A few hiccups but that is to be expected. I love it and never thought this would be my life at almost 68 years old. It have brought me alive again. That is in part to you and your encouragement to be fearless.

[@usatrucking-f7w]

Your videos are beautiful, very informative and inspiring.

[@yoyojoe9240]

Yeah......By November...All the roads point to, Florida, Lousiana and south Texas.

[@danabennett5829]

I lived in Colorado for some time and, being an east coaster, I really noticed how the sun baked a person! Especially at that altitude 🌞

[@thizizliz]

Its so fun to watch Sadie grow. Sometimes she looks so gangly & then grows into it. She's minding so well! Seems like your hard work training her is paying off. Bummer about the noise.

[@deborahanderson5508]

Fireworks in nature is so insane to me! To be honest,fireworks in general. So nice,you and Sadie.

[@thekatzzzzzz]

I hear ya! I've been full timing for 5 years now and am looking for off grid land where a woman could possible create an off grid homestead safely. Enjoy your vids!

[@wendydale104]

Just beautiful Colorado pics thank you for sharing them. I love Colorado.

[@markshelton5321]

I’m so glad you and Sadie have each other on these adventures...

[@carmenkelly2683]

I have that exact same french press and love it!

[@philguzman6932]

I have a trash picker and, it gets more use than any of my other tools.

[@debkski6084]

Hi Carolyn! You do nice photography work! Thanks for taking us along. I really admire your independence and self-reliability. 😊

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you so much!

[@lilysgma2852]

Best dog ever! You've trained her well and she is so smart and loving!

[@BELINDASPIRIT]

Thank you for sharing what looks to be a beautiful spot!! Without the noise, it certainly looked and sounded peaceful!! Safe travels...

[@nfoss5656]

I love watching Sadie. Thanks for the video.

[@JayJayFromAZ]

Are you coming to AZ this year? If so let me know I have plenty of room for an RV in Holbrook AZ by Petrified Forest and Painted Desert. Keep on Keeping on!!

[@barbarella0372]

I grew up on the road, but my parents did everything back then. Them both being gone now, I still have a lot to learn. I've been looking at nomadic living for a few years now. Started with Elsa & Baron (Scamp). Then stumbled onto Bob's channel & now yours. I've dumped a lot of channels too! I've learned the most from those that are 'honest & fair about the lifestyle. No sugar coating, but not excessively negative either. I've only been out solo once & it was so peaceful! At 48, I can't remember the last time I felt that. I still have a few more years, my youngest is 13. But I'm learning what I can now. People like yourself have been so very helpful. I'm heading out tomorrow for another short BD trip. Wish me luck. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@mildredlackey1938]

Loved this video. Thanks for sharing your piece and quiet with me,

[@lorirugato6463]

Beautiful spot Sadie is adorable. Thank you for another great video Carolyn.

[@imallierambles]

Burr! I'm sitting in AZ at 100 F today but I miss the crisp mornings when I traveled Colorado this summer that are missing here in the desert. Thanks for sharing Carolyn!

[@WisconsinWanderer]

Sadie is such a great companion love her☮️❤️

[@havenonwheels5158]

Wow! Nice people to pick up other's messes! We leave sites better than they were when we got there - but not sure I would want to clean up toilet paper and poop if that was at a site.

[@heathercoffman6945]

Another reason a pet pooper scooper comes in handy.

[@havenonwheels5158]

Heather Coffman we always pick up after our dog. I don’t understand people who don’t. And leaving human feces and t paper is just disgusting (says the former EMT). I think I would probably dig a big cathole with my spade and bury that.

[@parkercummings1906]

You will have your zen back. Sometimes I have to accept those many small moments of quiet and let them be accumulative until I can get my big dose. I hope it isn't an expensive repair on your rig. Loved your natural views you showed and the ever fun loving Miss Sadie.

[@susanwood9678]

OMG! Thank you for the positive info: someone cleaned up a prior person's pigsty. I feel like that's my calling. I do it for the Earth. I LOVE knowing I'm not alone. TY

[@mikeswartz485]

welcome to my Colorado. it happens here everywhere with atv's and bikes. I have been here since 78 and love it here. I have not seen alot of what this state has to offer. i camp year round and it is awesome.

[@justiceprevails2012]

Peaceful and relaxing video, thank you!

[@ReneaDooserider]

Thank you. so much great video. I love your TEA POT 💕💕loves to Sadie. My great grand baby dog looks just like her except Storm has a tail. 💕💕

[@Maddiehere89]

Sadie has learned so much Counting and speaking and leaving it...so good Sadie!!

[@wallacesheckells7095]

Just found your page again after a year or so break. Glad to see you again and riding with a new puppy.

[@kristinapeters2534]

Love Leadville. I have many fond memories of the area. My uncle lived there and worked at Climax Mines for 25+ years, We visited every summer,

[@susieturk1]

As I've gotten older I have decided to green and brown are two of my favorite colors. Now I know why. Lovely just lovely 💚🌲

[@jeancambra8036]

I have so many things. I absolutely love your companion what a beautiful creature. I want a cup of that coffee. I can smell the pine trees after the rain. Amazing. The motorbikes are a bit much. Good luck with the brake fluid leak. Be safe.

[@dawnbyland7568]

The green is so green. Living in new Mexico I seldom see that green

[@cherylsibson8457]

Enjoy the open road Carolyn you and Sadie know how to relax and enjoy your day. We've had an orange glow out our way too with the fires, not so much last few weeks and it's been raining here.

[@CarlaHanson68]

Oh my gosh, Sadie counting was precious!! ❤

[@lorriemarchael8159]

Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing

[@lolasaxby1399]

Wow! What a beautiful life you’ve given Sadie!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I think so too!

[@gibbygibson8442]

LOVE the CAMO. I always say Camo is the new black...lol Thanks for the update. Safe travels out there. Pets to Sadie girl🐾

[@scottt8424]

Hey Carolyn thank you for the video

[@jeancambra8036]

Wow this is up 3 days and you have 12338 views. People are watching you! Love it.

[@bettybrigance6784]

So enjoyable....thanks for the video, take care of yourself and keep going

[@DeepintheRockies]

Don't you just feel peaceful out in Colorado nature? You had some beautiful spots. Sadie is such a joy to watch❤

[@brainmaker4495]

Fantastic job with the training! Beautiful!

[@deborahdoty7283]

Cool video, thanks Carolyn.

[@gailresources8120]

Such a nice video.Serene and beautiful. Did I see Lupine? Sadie is just adorable! I love seeing her looking out the front window. Oil???? Hope that wasn’t too big an issue!?

[@coptechgold]

You get to see such wonderful scenery.

[@chrisgatdula1360]

I love your life. its great... take care and stay safe.

[@heathercoffman6945]

I can't wait for you to get the applause button! :)

[@poges]

Hi in Wyoming. I wondered where you were. I'll stay tuned if I'm seeing scenery.

[@dembalzak8169]

3 years from slab city, cool you are still at it..

[@user-js9gn2hw9s]

Looks like the training with Sadie is going amazingly well. She's hilarious biting and chasing the waves LOL:)

[@vicckk56]

Sadie knows so many tricks, your a good trainer. Enjoyed the video. Thanks stay safe

[@misslisa1]

If you leave...let me know if I can fit in your suitcase. Also...I (again) commend your training with Sadie! We have the same style. "Leave it" is so valuable! Also "DOWN!" in mid-run can be a literal lifesaver. I betcha Sadie would pick it up easy (if you haven't taught her already!)

[@kathyadam9932]

Love Sadie at the lake. She made me laugh so hard. I’m so sorry you had to deal with all the off road machines. That is not what I consider Forrest friendly nor enjoyable. I love quiet I would have been a wreck. The entire world is in such unrest right now with all we have to face including covering our face 😂🤣 your not alone with the stress being on high alert. I have never seen this many issues all at once. Wow! This shall pass. Or we shall pass out. 😂 be safe hugs

[@donnavaughn5393]

Thanks. My friend great vlog

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Sadie is a hoot! Nice thing about your campsite is the remoteness, bad thing about your campsite is the traffic and Sadie will alert you to mischief makers. Be safe and can't wait for the "how I see it".

[@davepalmetto]

Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it

[@noragodley1270]

“Count to 3”... my favorite!!!

[@lindaOtis]

Love the training you’ve given Sadie! Fantastic! 😍🐕Does she like other dogs?

[@suefox6164]

I am so amazed at how much Sadie has learned. I think you could have a side job as a dog trainer.

[@melissabrown6981]

Looking forward to see the other trips that said earlier. I have been to Yellowstone. It's very nice and so pretty there.

[@alicial6072]

Lol, I like Sunday's at the camp grounds too, I always stay until Monday, while I don't get total solitude as I'm in Delaware and there isn't that type of camping here like there is out west, it still clears out and it gets really quiet.

[@doriskratz7627]

Good morning Carolyn, I wonder if farmers have some kind of link you could find and be able to clean camp on the cheap in seclusion. All farms with acreage must have access for tractors, dirt roads to pastures etc. And since they are private property, no crowds....just a thought. 🤗

[@dianamarietv4479]

I love how you film and share. Very nice.

[@dennisbosworth3665]

Oh, a rainy day in the forest ... wished I was there! The air here in Calif is smoky from the fires and the temp is hot.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yes, that's what I've heard.. so sorry. I hope it gets better soon...

[@CarrieMtn]

Ugh! We are surrounded by fires in Colorado and people are too stupid to not use fireworks!

[@tdhawk167]

Ooo, I like your kettle! And your press! Been looking for a good process for coffee and tea on the road. This is not one I've tried on yet.

[@heatherwatson8273]

You need to check Sadie's water bowl more often, it was empty for what seemed like a long time in that heat, can you find a way to tie it to the camper's front bumper so it's in the shade and so she can't knock it over. I've been a subscriber for a couple of months now, greetings from Sydney Australia

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Wow, you're just full of advice. thanks for watching.

[@judyb2425]

Love the pink harness and lease. Looks perfect on Sadie

[@lcostantino7931]

Beautiful scenery thanks 4 taking me along....... Sadie a trip.. what was she after???

[@tammygawronski639]

The motorbikes were obnoxiously loud but on the plus side they looked like they were actually wearing helmets. Legal to ride without helmets in Illinois and the number of fatalities is staggering.

[@joannmitchell8371]

Sadie gives a new mean to "catching a wave." Love your work. See you down the road (on KZbin that is)

[@jeanrodriguez5296]

Hi!!!! Carolyn what a beautiful spot. You've done a excellent job with Sweet Sadie love her !!!! Wow so cool when she speak's 😊😘 Take Care

[@packinuptucker4875]

I have 2 spin top lock barrels for garbage containment for human and dog waste. I have a good deodorant/disinfectant to add, lowering the smell. Due to wildlife, the barrels would need to be inside versus outside.Two weeks hold instead of weekly will be a change. How do people hold their trash in minimal space? It doesn’t seem to be discussed very much.

[@paulaanglin4545]

Off topic sorry... I know you have had both a 27ft and a 23ft Class C RV. Could you elaborate on the pros and cons of each. Do you think will you stick with a 23ft on your next RV, and why? If you have already covered this in another video...could you direct me to it? Thank You!

[@debstovervillarreal4348]

My boy, Jasper, L O V E S to hug. He used to launch himself across the room like the scene from Turner in Hooch in slow mo, only Jasper is around your neck in a nano-second. He hangs on and hugs tight. He is 100 pound Giant Schnauzer. His nick name used to be Mr. Exuberance, lol.

[@waitaminute2015]

Just got a chromecast so I can watch on the big TV! What a difference . I can't stand the sound of motors. I hope you find some peace soon.

[@annramer2826]

I love you’re videography ,long tome viewer never commented before (I’m shy) thank you 💝

[@dalekundtz4603]

The clicking bugs are cicadas. I am like you Carolyn. Give me quiet and peaceful camping. 👴. 😷

[@beatricebritt6955]

Sadie is such a smart beautiful dog. U have trained her well.😊

[@karinpople1019]

Where you are in the intro looks wonderful. I love Sadie's straight up ears❤️🐾

[@suncitygal]

Love this video!

[@oldcodyjr]

Solitude! It’s what helps me thrive. Just bought a tow vehicle, next comes a smallish or a bit larger lightweight travel trailer. I’m retired but need to get rid of my house and a lot of possessions and just enjoy a less entangled life in nature. I’ve previously had 2 tries at part time RV life but this time I want to live in my RV with my books and pets and I have a partner, too, but I like solitude. Your life seems joyful and balanced. Nancy in coastal south Texas.

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Another great video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊

[@Lotuslaful]

The noise and irresponsible behavior would totally stress me out. Great to see Sadie diving for waves

[@KIMI-xt4eb]

im the same way ,love my quiet,why live in middle of know where, not in planes flight patterns either! 87901 and soak in springs and river and lake in peace ! city ordered!

Kim, yes peace and quiet is hard to find sometimes!! enjoy the springs !

So glad to see you have another friend. Good for you. Have been amiss in keeping up with you. How did you acquire Sadie?

[@tonitouchberry894]

One of my biggest pet peeves! Noise at a camp spot! People go out into the forest and blast music??? I go to the forest to hear birds, wind through the trees, limbs creeking, bugs cherping! Silence! Fireworks cause fires in the forest! Noise chases the deer and coyote away! Music disrupts the brain! Stay home if you are going to be disruptive in nature! "Nobody wants you here!"

[@jasonhall8243]

Brake hose looks in tact and not leaking. caliper may have blown... if it smells putrid..blown axle seal. Keep eye on brake fluid level. If brake pedal sinks...leaking caliper or hose..Been a tech for 30+ years.. If pedal sinks clamp off that brake hose so you don't lose fluid

[@jasonhall8243]

It'll get you back to town and still have base brake function

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you!!! It was the caliper. Easy fix!!!
