This is NOT What I Expected in San Felipe/Mad Dash for the U.S Border

Wow, thank you for giving us a beautiful view of the Sea of Cortez....

[@PRINCESSDREAMYLYN]

if you want to see the Sea of Cortez from an ocean view Salt and Tar have some amazing views from their sail boat. It is an interesting place to explore for sure.

Hi Carolyn, I'm an American international school teacher living and teaching in China for the past eight years (prior to that I lived in Mongolia for three years). When my daughter graduates from high school here, I will retire from teaching (but tutor online) and go full time RV! We still have three years left in China, though. I discovered your channel after you visited Terlingua, Texas- one of my favorite places in the USA. Watching your channel is my happy place. My teenage daughter watched some with me, recently of you shopping at the grocery store in Canada. She thought I was nuts to be so enthralled by an ordinary grocery store trip. I thinks she's nuts for watching videos of other people playing video games (not playing them, just watching others play them). So we decided we understand each other better. Your RV travel videos are my virtual RV fix! I really enjoy the quiet moments and scenery as much as your narration. Thank you so much for creating this channel and these videos. They bring me inspiration. I recently became a member to show my appreciation.

[@tigermoon44]

Girls adventures are the best because you show the details that are missed by folks who vacation hard and fast because they don't have much time! Two months seems about right. Thanks for sharing!

[@charlottewilson4680]

Have so enjoyed this trip to Mexico. I feel you all have shown the good , the bad and the ugly. Thank you so much.

[@jordangloss]

The Sea of Cortez video was gorgeous. The water blending with the sky - like it just went on forever. The flying fish, the abandon area, the seashells - Sweet Sadie and her massive wood toy... :). Just fantastic (aside from the flies!). Thanks for the lovely vacation. America, as well as many other countries, have changed dramatically over the last 4 years. This has taken it's toll on certain freedoms and the bodies, minds and spirits of the people. But that's a discussion for another day. Meanwhile...we must all do what you do. Appreciate the present and find joy in it.

[@cassyharrison3592]

What a great adventure! I enjoyed tagging along with you!

[@noyopacific]

I've spent quite a lot of time in Mexico. I recall after one long stay I was driving home and stopped at a highway rest stop outside of Bakersfield, CA. I chuckled to myself when I found the restroom was clean, nothing was broken, the toilets had seats on them and there was even toilet tissue provided ! Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy Mexico, but it does require some adjustments.

[@natsonline]

SO SO BEAUTIFUL CAROLYN. THANKS FOR SHARING!!

[@laurenkeon3267]

Have loved these videos of Baja. I love my USA (I’m a 72 year old female and I’ve left a few comments here and there thru these years with u), and the freedoms I enjoy vs so much of the world, but yea, it no longer looks or feels like the USA I grew up in. Makes me very sad . Fear has replaced the joy in so many people’s lives. I too loved Mexico, the people and the desert beauty. But I’m not brave like u. BUT I AM working g on it cause I need to b and feel more independent with traveling solo . You do ‘nature’ perfectly, the photography is stunning and I love that u capture the beauty in even the simplest of what life has for us out there. Take care. Sadie girl, you have the perfect life. 🐾❤️🐾

[@lucystrider728]

I had a coyote join us at our campfire in the Rockies. It just sat there for a while choosing our company. It was an extraordinary experience. However, it was not in a pack and was sitting calmly so we felt comfortable just enjoying the gift of the shared moment of peace with our unexpected visitor.

I used to b*tch about Colorado -- UNTIL I spent 3 months in Florida. I kissed the ground when I got back to Colorado too. Idk how ppl can stand Florida, though I was only there December through March, so I didn't get the worst of summer. But even in December I got mosquito bites, was wet all the time, gigantic cockroaches...YUCCH!!!

I just ran across your channel yesterday, and watched all your videos from start to finish on your trip to Baja. Thank you for taking me with you via video and especially getting me back safe, lol. I have never been outside of the USA, but who knows, maybe I will some day. Thanks again.

When I am in Mexico I do NOT miss Walmart, Safeway/Albertsons, Fred-Meyer, Starbucks... any of those... So yeah... When I come back after 3-4 months in Mexico I do not rush out to the store.... after being back a Month I am ready to head back down to Central Mexico though... It's nearly the same temperature all year... just a dry or wet season... I miss them both!!

When traveling in the states, every Discount Tire store has free air fill stations, that can accommodate most RVs and they do it for you. They're the only place I buy my tires. On the east coast, mostly NY, their stores are called Dunn Tires...same company. FYI...The bucket under the hose was to allow the fuel to flow better...not a leak.

[@mariondiemert430]

[@Materialworld4]

Carolyn, in the Sonoran Desert, and Mojave Desert there are forests of Ocotillos, Chain Fruit Cholla, Saguaro Cactus, Joshua Trees, and more. You have to know exactly where they are, and I do because I have photographed many of them. It is wonderful to walk in the forests when you find them, and fortunately almost no one knows where they exist. As far a those special plants in Northern Baja, they were simply amazing up close in small and large patches back in June 1976. I have propagated hundreds and hundreds of cactus, succulents, and trees, so it is possible. But you have to nurture them like they are family, but damn its more than worth the effort.

[@danasimcho310]

I had to laugh when you were looking at the collected shells that people leave for others to enjoy. I love rocks & stones, so it's a good thing that I don't live in an RV because it would be so loaded down with rocks that the back bumper would be dragging down the highway!😂 PS- Sadie is adorable!

I sure enjoyed your Baja trip. It was amazing. You did a great job of videoing and narrating. The total wildness of Baja compared to the legislated states of America is an eye opener. Living her I just got used to the laws and rules and the control our country is putting on every America. NO choices, I have to agree or go to jail. Ha, The freedom you experienced is almost like it was when I was growing up the freedom of our little ranch town. Not the city life. Now the laws and lawyers own us. It will be interesting to see what happens this year in your life and if you are able to make the trip again next year. thank you

[@glogloe1797]

This trip was just awesome! I know Baja from S.D. border up to San Quentin. My parents were retired in a little town from about 1995-2017 so I became familiar with the area. They weren’t far from San Quentin. I like the “The Old Mill” hotel/restaurant. The whole town knew my dad, he was a social guy and well liked. He gave monies for local causes. I have great memories of that Baja region of San Quentin.

[@ocny4468]

@@CarolynsRVLife ---it sounds like he said "hello" before "buen dia." His English might be quite limited and "hello" is how he greets English speakers, then simply adds "buen dia." I heard only the two syllables of "hello" without the accent on any middle syllable (which I could not detect, no matter how many times I played the clip) which would have been there had he called you that three-syllable word.
