[@wildnesting8051]

Really enjoyed your video! Yes, the quiet undeveloped deserted places have a magic of their own! ☀️

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks for watching and glad to hear you are enjoying traveling with Sadie and me.

[@jhemnes1]

The J is pronounced as an H in Javelina. I made the same mistake when I first moved out west but I feel like a local should have known that😅 I love that tree. . I'm old and gnarly too😊

[@rebeccal2771]

Yes, you sound like I did when I first moved to New Mexico. I'm surprised the local didn't correct you.

[@laus7504]

"Big pig" works for this non-educated pleb! LOL

[@norasteel1776]

You know, Carolyn, watching your shows sometimes is like being there for me. This video especially, I liked the feeling of the the birds and the morning, oh, I hope you know what I mean. Thank you for posting this video. Take care and you and sadie stay safe.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Awe, I’m glad to hear that Nora. Thanks for watching!

[@lindayaya59]

Yes I love big old trees like that. Beautiful. I think people should plant 2 for every one destroyed. Have a great day

[@Mooniicky]

What a beautiful area - loved this video. My grandmother used to love trees, she would always lean on her favourites and get strength from them.

[@jamierupert7563]

That is the coolest campground. Thanks for sharing. And HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!💐

[@exscapegoatpowerfulhealer9685]

Had to comment on you & your fur baby conversing. They understand every word. & how beautiful to share with your viewers.❤❤

[@Carol-qi6me]

Love this! 💜✌🏽

[@sandracarpenter144]

Yes, I love trees. They may be narley yet they stand tall no matter what they have been through. Twisted yet strong and survivors. Amazing to see them grow on a rock with little dirt, in the windiest places with growth on only on side. Safe travels ❤️✌🏼😎👍🏼

[@mrsfivepip]

We love the bottomless lakes campground

[@stevischermi6409]

Nice history lesson, Carolyn.

[@sky02148]

Thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy

[@SteveTheFordGuy985]

Thanks Carolyn, for another great video, a beautiful place with interesting history.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You’re welcome Steve!

[@cwhipple5744]

Thank you for sharing!

[@geogypsytraveler]

Hope you hugged that tree. A special find indeed.

[@rebeccatrevino9296]

thanks for sharing the experience..

[@hopeonthetrail6984]

I love trees also. Have a wonderful collection of pictures in lots of different settings. I love the tour of the Dam campground. We have CCC camps where I live in Va also and I love learning about the history. Thanks for sharing. I always love when you have a new post.

[@richardtyree9384]

Real nice place to visit...

[@FishMH]

I remember that kind of fish hatchery, you sure find interesting, old Americana sites and info. Thanks for sharing

[@trish7042]

I absolutely LOVE your perspective. Thank you so much for pointing out all these beautiful things on your adventures!

[@veeemit9719]

Yes, trees are the best!

[@larajackson7506]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Much love to ya!!☺❤ see you later

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You’re welcome Lara and thanks for watching!

[@VenaJensen]

Great video, Carolyn! Baby Javelinas are called "reds" because their hair is a red color. So cool you got to see the adult!

[@wildbrookies]

Another awesome video! Tons of material! We need this as we focus on our big trip. Thank you again for everything! Take care!

[@SpknTC13]

Happy Mother’s Day!! Sadie has a great mama!! 🥰😍

[@eileenfeltes3570]

NM is one of the top 5 poorest states in the USA. The parks which have income producing camping get priority. (Albuquerque resident here.)

[@hopefranklin9155]

That Sadie is such a sweet girl. I love your side kick. Can't but smile when I see her run and check things out. Like where you two camped at. Those cauliflower pancakes looked mighty good. Yum yum. Thanks for leaving us with the birds. Take care and thanks for taking us along with you and Sadie. ❤

[@GwenDeeful]

This was so interesting. I remember driving thru Truth or Consequences, NM Thank you

[@rhondatraywick3724]

Beautiful spot!! Looks like New Mexico could use a good rain! Safe travels!

[@mrsfivepip]

We are having lots of grass fires this year. We need rain badly

[@MsVintage61]

YES, I love trees! What a cool spot, hope to check it out one day 🌵

[@deenalaux5182]

Wow! Those cakes look so yummy! They sort of remind me of salmon patties or something my grandmother used to make called fried cornbread. Your food always looks yummy! ❤️❤️

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Those birds are talking-to you❤️💯🙏🏻🕊✨👼💕

[@mauricelamaredwards2624]

Awesome video I love watching

[@eileenlightfoot7082]

I love trees 🌳 too! Cool camp!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Your cauliflower cakes sound wonderful. I have some old cauliflower to cook!

[@sabracrouse5893]

Hey Carolyn and Sadie really nice video! I'm going to try your cauliflower recipe today. Good seeing you guys take care stay safe and God bless you both

[@getlostwhenwondering393]

Sadie is a well traveled dog. Happy Mother’s Day. The tree has a beautiful shape.

[@deonnabarry3306]

Fish hatchery, right in my back yard. It is full of water now, they are releasing water from Elephant Butte lake

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

Hi Carolyn hi pretty Sadie girl ⚘🐾⚘🐾 Happy Mother's Day⚘⚘You're such a great mom🥰 Trees are COOL.

[@AngieExploresTravel]

Great location

[@vickir6412]

Nice place . Nice video 👍

[@judyclark8653]

I think it’s cool that you can run into other campers who give you the low down on wild animals in the area! Hope you get to see a bobcat. In AZ the javelinas scavenge under bird feeders. That bird at the end might be a mockingbird - they mimic other birds and rattle off, sometimes during the night.

[@HoneyandMe]

Love this campsite and added it to NM list of campsites to check out! Historical places always fascinate me too. Your creation looks so good!! Pretty gorgeous tree! Safe travels, Carolyn!

[@suzanneens1948]

I really like Elephant Butte, if you get a chance Caballo SP is not far. And, as I commented on an earlier video, I really think you will love Silver City, quirky, arty, and off the beaten path. Not quite as depressing, as you stated, as TorC. Suggest taking the state road from Caballo thru Hatch -- also not to be missed -- to 180 into Silver. Enjoy! Luvya Sadie💜

[@TheNoonie50]

I hope you hiked Tent Rocks while you were near. Great video! I loved having my own little adobe shelter to eat in when I camped out there...:)

[@edwardlulofs444]

Thanks

[@desertbluecatnm]

Actually TorC has revitalized in comparison to what it was 20 years ago. Especially the downtown, hot springs, motels. But I'm sure the pandemic has hurt them. Also the disappearing water in the RG and the lake has hurt their recreation economy, it's really quite sad how it looks now.

[@annieyahu676]

Great Video ❤️ gonna try those cauliflower fry patties!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks for tuning in Annie! I think you’ll like them.

[@rockobattino3318]

Get yourself some roasted tomatoes or make them. They will up your game big time. I make mashed avocado (add what ever you like in them) make a wrap and sprinkle some bagel seasoning and your in heaven

[@nicolekiogima7959]

I am going to try the cauliflower pancakes.. sounds so yummy 😋

[@janetmitchell1053]

That damn wind! Is there anywhere that it's NOT blowing? Interesting area to explore! I always enjoy your videos. Safe travels!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Janet!

[@suefox6164]

Its so good to see you and Sadie again! I was just thinking about you, wondering if you were still making videos.

[@wildmeadows8495]

Sadie needs a pushpin map for all her travels.

[@Linda-td8hj]

Looks like a cool place 😎 it's so pretty shame that they can't afford the upkeep of these places ♡❤♡❤

[@tuttib7500]

What an awesome place. It's sad people can't control themselves from vandalizing!

[@jamierupert7563]

That makes me sick. So sad.

[@isearcheduwin3132]

Gorgeous trees, wildlife and water. Campground has a lot of history!

[@packinuptucker4875]

Javelins-there were a couple of news reports this year of people and dogs being hurt by them. Most likely a yearly thing. Any time near water and prey, there are predators. I need a night cam for direct viewing. I was a ways away from water. One time in the day a young coyote crossed by me but in the wrong direction of water. I had a couple of nights of a animal visitor growling. I can only imagine a cougar in that area. They must travel pretty far outside of the water zone for food if not enough in the area. I woke this morning to thinking about snakes. I have not seen one yet but I was hissed at in their holes in the winter. Since they can go up vertically, I really need some window shields in the cab when I have the windows open. Also a snake grabber because heavens, how would I get one out if it did happen? Safe journeys.

[@mrsfivepip]

There is a balloon regatta there in October at elephant butte we are going to

[@evalynlemon5045]

America's Test Kitchen rated Best Foods Vegan Mayo the best pre-made vegan mayo in flavor and consistency. I haven't been able to find it yet.

[@laurievibe5573]

you are a total inspiration. woman rule. men drool

[@deborahsimpson4968]

Those cauliflower fritters look killer chick. I too am a WFPB GF V

[@deborahsimpson4968]

T&C yes super cool place.. I have held up around that area a bit, not enough. I do the cheap older hot springs there. . and 99% I'm boondocking. That place if no longer srate park Is it actually a freebie?

[@glennarussell4682]

💌

[@granneeannees2s467]

You should consider a Rv camping cookbook for Vegans

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I have a mile long list of "shoulds' from viewers.

[@kheventplanner]

Can you throw a recipe for those cauliflower pancakes and the dip on here please??? I have to go to a gluten free diet and I'm willing to try anything lol

[@travelingwithcharity6598]

💛💛💛

[@stellasrvadventures483]

Love t or c

[@jamierupert7563]

I see what you did there in your video title. Hahaha, cute.😊

[@linsweet2257]

you should have said LOOK COW!!!!! SADIE WOULD HAVE TORN DOWN THE DOOR TO GET A CHASE

[@caliwebb3]

😍

[@reverands571]

In Panama, wetlands did breed mosquitoes, which did "spread" disease. It doomed the French effort to build the Panama Canal, by killing so many workers. When American efforts to build the Canal were started, they sprayed petroleum into any puddles and wetlands, which worked to keep bug numbers down, leading to eventual success. Imagine what that did to the ecology---ugh ... Malaria was the disease in question, if memory serves.

[@deaconessfaithcommunitynur4745]

You do great vegan cooking !

[@jamesmeans4813]

Actually my experience they don't delete my subscription but they keep turning off my notifications. 🤔🤓

[@KIMI-xt4eb]

87901 are for those who get it,,motto is enjoy it dont change it,, not depressded,[ how,exactly what you proclaim,,ted turner etc, stop....................enjoy,

[@GratefulWarriorMom]

Carolyn, how do you currently like the class c? I'm in the process of a reno of a class a 32'. It looks as though my plan for fulltime travel is being sidetracked again because my husband can't see it being done and being able to earn a living, insurance, etc. We are considering the option of me traveling alone off and on. Boy did I get a flashback with my family! "That's stupid, dangerous, why???," etc. I heard it good. Give me the right words to say please!

[@treeartist2811]

I LOVE trees. Try hugging and leaning against them.

[@TheFreewheelinNomad]

Me…. I see It! see it I see! I see the pig! realizes I’m at home alone. now feeling stupid 😂

[@zanobiashalks2769]

Looks like potato pancakes!

[@blueskyvan4118]

Hey Carolyn, did you have a man with you as you were going through the abandoned fish hatchery? At 5:05 I can hear a man repeat your “wow”. Just wondered if you had somebody there with you or if maybe…?

[@camp3304]

I’m sure Sadie is fine but sadly Javelinas killed my friends border collie on their property in eastern AZ and the dog was only protecting the home. They can be viscous!

[@KIMI-xt4eb]

87901 truth or Consqences ,we just had a fiesta here ,,????????????????????????????/

[@georgedemodiga3752]

VEGAN MAYO @ Walmart... well, in AK anyway

[@stevischermi6409]

Spawn?

[@Bea_Yee]

Look up toy box killer since you were in t or c 👻👻😲😱😬😳

[@suzigrosart5040]

Love watching your adventures. Been a fan for at least 2 years, if not more. Have a question for you. How do you keep Sadie away from snakes and scorpions when out west? She's so inquisitive and adventurous. I'd be totally afraid my nosey little chihuahua would get in trouble.

[@serendipitousjourney2051]

Absolutely love your content !! Big hug to Sadie Girl!! ❤

[@thelwell256]

Loved watching the video but super loved the cauliflower and mayo lunch. Gave me inspiration to buy cauliflower and make some...yummy.

[@michellebarlondsmith6243]

chipotle lime cilantro mayo ... just saying ..... mmmmm I am now going to try adding corn to my potato pancakes

[@KIMI-xt4eb]

we dont have javinlas here,,,pigs let loose to on couple acres of land..geesh....dry no,end of winter,yes,i have garden and flowering trees,.same town , up north 300 plus miles away fires not here 87901,, dam it,,C

[@nunmar100]

J is pronounced as a H in Spanish.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yes it is!!! If only it had told me how to spell it's name and that they prefer the Spanish pronunciation. I'll be sure to stop filming and ask the wildlife what they prefer next time

[@Colorista_1]

I actually grew up in the wild west. Lol. Actually the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. 8 months ago we moved to my husband's home state, Georgia. You have absolutely no idea of how much I miss "my mountains." It's really fun to see you exploring that area. Have a truly blessed day!

[@dalekundtz760]

I believe the word you were looking for was fingerlings

[@lindac7146]

Nice location. Thx for sharing.

[@brooklynhomesteader3721]

👐🏾Those really look delicious😋

[@Oceanspirit26]

Brilliant recipe! I’m so trying they.

[@eileencarter3875]

Thanks for the History lesson Carolyn. I’ve been watching all your Video’s for nearly two years now. I love Sadie. Happy Mothers’ Day Carolyn. Have a Wonderful Day.

[@Honkytonk1425]

My dog was bitten by a javalena so be careful

[@tylerrodney540]

I knew you were in new mexico, I have land near taos on the mesa!

[@CBAmakingAusername]

Beautiful yes I also love trees

[@snickerz5810]

Awwe Sadie's sooo cute barking at the piggie.. this campsite is giving me wild wild west vibes. pretty cool to get to walk through time in a sense.

[@gavinpeters5418]

such a gorgeous spot... wow javalinas are bad news in AZ they tear up everything and eat your pets.
