Solo Motorcycle Camping Trip High in the Colorado Rockies

[@rockbay79]

After watching your camping video, I wanted to share an unexpected camping meal I had about 15 years ago. My wife and I rode our 1994 HD Heritage Softail Classic to Beaver Lake located in Northwest Arkansas. We planned on camping over-night and return home the next afternoon. We brought along just a small meal of "junkie" type food snacks. Well, after we arrived and set up our camp with a small 3-man tent, we took a stroll just to look things over. During this walk, I started talking to this older gentleman and his wife about their huge motorhome camper and how nice it was as a camper rig. After they found out we were going to share a "brown bag" supper, they invited us to eat dinner with them. To our surprise they treated us to a really nice steak dinner over the open flame pit. It was really good. I demanded they allow my wife and I to clean the dishes and help put things away. They were really cool to offer us this meal. We have always enjoyed camping on my motorcycle because you meet such nice people. Continue to enjoy your channel! Be safe. :)

[@ridetofood]

Very cool! I had a similar steak dinner offered to me on a trip back in 2015 while staying at balmorhea state park in west Texas. Some folks are so nice! Thanks for the kind words 😊

[@rockbay79]

@@ridetofood Yes, there are still a lot of nice people in the world. This is what I love about motorcycles. They allow, we the riders, to release stress. I always feel better after a nice afternoon ride. Sort of new to your channel. The video you shot in Wilson Arkansas was about 30 miles East of where I grew up. That video was what attracted me to your channel. Also, one last question: Did you buy that HD Low Rider ST you posted a video on your channel? I really liked that bike. Take care now.

[@Luke_StClair]

Great job. Thanks for taking us along

[@ridetofood]

Glad you enjoyed it!! 🙌

[@timjohnson5163]

Great trip. The filming, editing and drone footage was outstanding. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Must be difficult doing that all by yourself. The finished product was awesome. Can't wait for the next one.

[@ridetofood]

It is definitely a task to film and edit completely solo! That’s why it takes me so long to get the videos published 🤣🙌 thanks for watching Tim!

[@tacitogrande]

Mother Nature is one heck of an artist! Thanks for uploading! Glad you got to see the moose.

This will be my first season camping off the bike, between you and Adam sandoval I've learned so much! Thank you so much for your content! You're Killin it!

[@ridetofood]

Thank you! :)

[@SoundMindADV]

Gorgeous scenery. This is my favorite kind of video. Motorcycles, camping, and hiking! Thanks for sharing this.

[@ridetofood]

Love that you loved it! Thanks for watching. This is my kinda moto camping, so perhaps I’ll have to make another (similar) video! :)

[@DorkintheRoad]

Great vid! Very fun to watch!

You live in such an awesome part of this country. Between your great knack for creative content and the natural beauty of the area, your videos are so enjoyable to watch. Keep doing what you do young lady. Thanks Staci

[@ridetofood]

Thanks Wayne!

[@neilmackinnon3371]

What absolutely stunning scenery.... and a Moose. I'm just waiting for spring, so that I can get a few overnight camping trips in. I really enjoyed the video, more short trips and stunning scenery please.

[@ridetofood]

Definitely doing some more short trips in 2022!! :) Glad you enjoyed it!

[@scottbirdsong4284]

Love your motorcycle content. Short weekend trips or long road trips, doesn't matter, both are great!! I much rather watch content about the ride and destination rather than someone just talking about their life thoughts like others. I like most motorcycle content but your format is my favorite style. FYI, I ride an F700GS.

[@ridetofood]

Thanks for all of the kind words, Scott!

[@emfl4437]

Motorcycles and camping, my favorite. I am absolutely enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing 🎉🏍️

[@tmurphy250]

Stacey, what a great video! I usually enjoy your destination videos. To me the journey is often as good as the destination, and you document these very well. But this one, close to your home, had vivid photography, the drone footage was awesome. And the Moose and your story telling was just fantastic! Keep these coming.. I hope to make Colorado soon. And keep in mind we have great rides in New England. Thanks again for another great video!

[@ridetofood]

I hope to make it to New England this fall! If not, definitely next year for Laconia :)

[@mikedanaher3413]

Great video as always, Stacy. Here in Central NY we have them stored for the winter. Unfortunately I didn’t have to store mine this year, a 84 year old lady turned left in front of me. Yup, you guessed it. Totaled bike and severely broken rider. Hopefully be on my feet soon. Still have a lot of therapy to go. I will make a full recovery. However I’m not replacing the bike. Next person who turns in front of me is going to feel how hard the front end of a F350 is. God Bless you and Ride safe. I now live vicariously through you and a couple other channels.

[@ridetofood]

Unfortunate to hear! Sounds like you've got a plan that works best for you, though! Thanks for watching, Mike! Hope you're on your feet soon as well!
