People think NYC when thinking of NY. The state is so much more than that and has so much to offer. Except sane politics.......

[@rootbox]

Good tip re: taking pic of trail map. Also, no matter how short, always bring water (yes, even if you are by a stream, lake , river) for you and your dog. A great thing for both humans and dogs is the gel skarff. Golfers know about them. It's a tube of material with gel in them. Flat when dry , once soaked in water they swell - tie it around your neck and it will bring relief from heat. I like to put mine in the freezer before wearing or putting on my dog.

[@TheJudgyBeagle]

Great video! My beagle sometimes pulls the same potty fake out and then suddenly has to go once we get on the road. Welcome to east coast humidity. 🥵 I live in Florida, so I feel your pain. Wrapping celery in foil helps it stay fresh longer. As a fellow solo woman, I say keep the delay. Can't imagine why anyone would have a problem with it!

[@HappyLife693]

Hi Carolyn, I lost my Yeti once andI I still miss it. Enjoying your video. It does seem hot and humid but you make it easy to watch, sitting here in the AC! Love❤ the water fall and water sounds on the hike. Your dog Sadie, is such a good girl. What a wonderful companion.

[@carolyndifiori-hopkins6960]

New York State Is Gorges. ❤ Moved here 27 years ago from the flat lands of NJ. Beautiful and humorous video. The heat was awful. Glad you and Sadie survived. I’ve hiked a lot of the falls in the Western part of the state. Magical. My land above Keuka Lake actually had a few small waterfalls on it. The entire area is glacial making the land magnificent.

I love our Fingerlakes area so much! A true hidden gem

[@kathimeadows7869]

I appreciate your weekly videos and the time you put into them. Time in between is necessary for you to recharge. I follow a page that posts a video every day. I skip many of them because the story lines are boring. You do you Carolyn.

I appreciate that!

Sadie’s been more places than most people 🤣!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yes, she's a well traveled dog!

Oh my gosh that is so beautiful!!! Sadie just laying in the water with her tongue hanging out!! ❤ I loved upstate New York. We stayed in Mexico NY at Yogi Bear campground ..gosh..like 10 -15years ago.. Wow..time flies. Salmon fishing. Thank you Carolyn!! Very nice!! ❤

I spent my childhood in a renovated one-room schoolhouse with the cast iron and wood desks were removed from being bolted into the maple flooring and placed in the basement. These became scary objects piled in a dark and dank place that still presents in my dreams. Many good memories and the foundation for lifelong learning.

[@JuliePike820]

I love how real you are! And I love watching you cook, you make healthy food but you don’t overthink it like I do. I over-analyze everything!

[@texcinlulu]

Thanks for the beautiful video! Loved the park with all the streams and waterfalls. So peaceful. What I add to my salads are capers, marinated artichoke hearts , apples, blueberries , dried cranberries , scallions and olives. That lemon dressing looked good. Sadie’s tongue was hanging out farther then I’ve ever seen🤪. That hike was a workout. Looking forward to your next video. Happy trails🌞🦋💖

[@annetteanderson1933]

❤😊 love to see Sadie smile when she got in that waterfall.

[@lynnfiegl4953]

OMGosh! You are really making me miss living in NY state! Those waterfalls are so beautiful! Looks like a rainforest! I can’t believe you found your Yeti! What luck! Sadie was too cute laying in the water! I can’t remember if I’ve ever been out the way, I was 10 when we moved to NC. We lived in Gowanda , near Jamestown/Dunkirk area. So just wanted to say thank you for taking us along! It’s like an early birthday gift (I’m turning 54 tomorrow)! Happy Camping and Safe Travels! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🐶🐶

[@PrincessofErised]

I totally get it when you realize what you thought you knew is totally wrong. I thought I had a bone missing in my foot for 30 years. Then I started working for a Podiatrist who noticed my ankles turned down and inwards. Did an x-ray and said, your feet are fine, you are just flat-footed, basically no arches. I had arch supports in my shoes as a child and my grandmother thought my feet were deformed so I grew up thinking that. lol I wear orthotics now and everything is ok.

[@marciakipp3633]

Love the music you play in background! Thank you Carolyn! ❤😊...

[@susanweeldreyer8692]

Did not know that New York had rural and forest. Enjoyed watching 👍

[@richardthomas1743]

Awesome video! Lots to see and do there, I am glad that you found some nice cool places to escape the heat. I am really glad that your growling noise has been repaired , I bet it seems really nice to have a quiet ride now.. The awing , well maybe there was a bit of a sag in the material because the mechanism was sticking and maybe a weird lighting issue that made it appear that there was a big rip in the awning?? 🤔. But its working now , I bet you would have used that a lot in the past few years had you know! You got lucky finding your Yeti cup LOL.. I am glad that all is good for you and Sadie! Have fun exploring upstate NY!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yesss!!! It's so nice to finally have that fixed. Also noticed my U-joints don't clunk when I go from park to drive on my levelers anymore. thank you so much for all your help!

Loved this video. My aunt and uncle lived in Climax, NY, and when we would visit in the summer there was a great creek we could swim in. It was only about 20 minutes from their house and one year, my sisters and I arrived at the creek, couldn't wait to cool off.....and it was dry. I will never forget how disappointed and sad we were. I loved the smell of the forest and the birds singing. Thank you. Hugs to you and Sadie.

I was camping here in Michigan on Lake Huron in that heat and humidity and it was unbearable. The only reason I left the rv was because I had to walk the dog. First time I've run the A/C in the rv since I bought it last year!

It's hard for me to believe that is New York. Loved the music to which you showed us your pumping gas - that easy country feeling (which I DO NOT get in Los Angeles).. Very nice......then as soon as I typed that, you went into trademark copyright infringements you encounter as a KZbinr. All the intricacies and hoops you need to jump through. Not easy.

[@gaylemoore2784]

I was in the Finger Lakes Region of NY State (as well as Niagra Falls and the Adirondack Mountains) in summer of 2022. I was totally amazed at what a beautiful state is New York. It's so much more than NYC (which I have been to once several years ago..... pre RV life). It was fun to go along with you again. And, as far as the "dream" or "shadow" or whatever..... it happens to the best of us! You've not used up your last brain cell, yet! Travel on! Hugs to Sadie!

We really enjoyed this video, good editing and still photography. We also enjoy the ambient sounds of life as you live it, music is not something we care about when watching your videos...I'll bet there's several people who feel the same and hate to think it's such a hassle for you. We also think your awning was repaired by the "awning repair Piskies", they usually stay under bridges and effect their repairs when you're not aware of them...and yes, something similar has happened to us, but we're much older than you. 😂😂🤣🤣😁😁😎😎👍👍

It's so great to see how much you enjoy your life and it really shows by how much chuckling you do in your videos. It's truly wonderful! About salads- I recently started adding pearl barley to my big, tossed salads. A cooked, crumbled black bean burg is also nice. I also sometimes add sliced beets. shredded red cabbage is a regular for me. I use the OXO grater with the handle. Shreds the veggies right into the bowl. super easy and a quick rinse and it's clean. Arugula is my fav green. Happy crunching!!`

I camped at Filmore Glen with my boxer girl. I started up the upper trail expecting to get to the dam. We walked over two miles and did not find the dam so we turned around and came down the lower gorge trail. Got almost to the bottom and the bridge was under construction which is the only way down…so back up the glen trail and up to the other side of the gorge back to the campground. 6.2 miles we walked that morning. My boxer did fine as I had snacks and water but let me tell you this 70 year old woman would never have purposely ventured off on a 6 mile hike. I was exhausted and the weather was about what you are experiencing. So that’s my rptale of adventure.

I’m vegan as well, my salads are crazy good. I put everything in my salad. Home made beanballs, nuts, seeds, fruits, fennel. Dressing is often a tahini base, but what ever I have in my fridge goes into the dressing as well. I don’t like to waste anything, can’t say that it’s always good.
