Utah to Nevada-Is this Home?

In this video I depart my camp at Sand Hill Recreation Area near St. George, Utah. I cross over into Arizona and drive through the Virgin River Gorge on Interstate 15. I find a camp in the northwest corner of Arizona overlooking the Virgin River. Then I drive into Nevada and find a place to camp in Nye County.
Thanks For Being Here.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

AZ is my 2nd favorite state next to my favorite home state of California ❤ Such beauty

[@KimHaberbusch]

Oh my gosh, I can't decide on the most beautiful view - the sunset over the Virgin River or the fog the next morning over the same river... all breathtaking. Safe travels dear Brian. Greetings from downunder 🙏🧡ps. Hubby just loved the pic of you enjoying your toastie under the shade of a cactus. Bliss!

[@shesoutthere387]

I've stayed there by the Virgin River a few times. Me and the dogs would hike down to the river. Happy travels

The NEW Microphone did GREAT .... NO wind noise, ... Nice and CLEAR Brian !! BEAUTIFUL scenery, once again .... 👌👍👍👍🤏

[@richardthomas1743]

Hey Brian! Very nice video , beautiful scenery! Thanks for taking us along and wishing you all the best with finding a place to stay !

[@mygirls6255]

That’s exactly the way I do my grilled cheese! I’ve watched you ever since you left California. A big Kelly fan to. By the way I’m a 75 year old great grandma, you never know who you might touch with your videos.

[@jasonborn867]

Yes, home is where you find it! Maybe another option is putting word out to subscribers you're looking for a temporary private camp area with perhaps access to electric for an agreed upon fee. Probably be cheaper than staying at a full service campground with loud noise and constant traffic. Peace and quiet = all good!

Receipt is required :) a friends house doesn't do it for the DMV

I've actually been looking at Nevada as a retirement home. I've been in Wyoming for 35 years, but am getting tired of the winters and a few other issues. I was looking at the ghost towns and other areas north of Vegas. Drove through Calliente many years ago. My sister and her husband have camped outside of Pahrump. They really like it.

[@bryanmathew2079]

i' Was just Looking less than 2-Hours ago @ Wyoming, but ya it's ProbabLy CoLd 5-months

[@rockymountainreseller]

@@bryanmathew2079 We are having an unusually warm December. I've been here 35 years and usually it starts getting cold in October, I've seen Halloween with a foot of snow and 5 degrees. We have some breaks until January and then winter comes in and beats us up with weeks of barely above zero and many roads closed due to high wind blowing snow across the highways and interstates causing terribly hazardous conditions. By April it starts to warm up, but I have seen it snow into June. Spent several Father's days shoveling snow. Thankfully it melts quicker.

I have been watching you for a couple years now and I never get tired of the views and spots you find for all of us to enjoy. Keep doing your thing and mahalo for taking us along with you on your journey.

[@gingerjolley9027]

Love the VR gorge. I drove it several times at night. The first time I drove it in the day light I could barely keep my eyes on the road. Just beautiful....

[@Richard-lj2lx]

The Virgin River fog was gorgeous!

[@MsCar2008]

Hope you find someplace to land to get your residency. Good luck. Enjoy your video, but always do.

[@dianejohnson1991]

The west is still so vast. We live in a beautiful country. So diversity in any direction.

[@Shawn-94]

That river fog was awesome it was blueish

[@defuller1]

This high desert terrain is what attracted me to your channel back in late 2019. My grandparents homesteaded some acreage in the high desert in Southern California about 70 years ago, and the cabin they built has been a family vacation spot for all of my life. I love the rocky mountainous views and the sage brush and the coyotes and rabbits, and especially the Joshua trees! I enjoy all your content, but especially when you return to the desert Southwest.

[@brybar69]

Hey Brian... Bryan here, thanks for giving me a shout out in this video...much appreciated! A couple days after I met up with you - I found a place to stay in Hildale, UT. Great people that are allowing me to stay with them and work as a volunteer maintenance worker for their building. Very fortunate to have stumbled upon it! I'll be allowed to reside here until my St. George housing kicks in, or I get my SSDI. Anyway, looks like your making progress in your travels, that's great! It was a pleasure to meet you, and maybe someday we'll run into each other again ✌🏽 Stay warm and safe out there brother!

[@stanleyj.mitchell4851]

Next time you do a grilled cheese sandwich, try bacon with it. So a layer of cheese, a layer of streaky bacon, a layer of tomato and top it with another layer of cheese. The top layer of cheese should melt through the tomato. That’s how I like mine. Thanks for having me along for the ride.

[@garybarr1045]

Having lived in Las Vegas for over 38 years, and now living south of Reno, I identified with your camera work. A reminder of why I moved away from Las Vegas...LOL!!! I had an old friend who lived in the area where I presently live and he would go down to the Southern Nevada deserts for several months each winter for the warmer weather. Go figure?...LOL...

[@pewpewpewAK47]

You should stay at Baker reservoir when you want to stay for a few days. It is north of St. George on hwy 18. Its quiet and not crowded at all.

[@paull5609]

Nye county, where the great Art Bell lived.

[@TBGaels32]

@@paull5609 I know that name well. He was also a ham radio operator, but I can’t think of his callsign

[@AdventureVanMan]

Cost to Coast was his after hours call-in radio show. A radio legend.

[@TBGaels32]

@ Art Bell’s Call sign was K6OBB. But since he was a broadcaster, I think he had a Radio Telephone license as well.

[@esthermcdonald2297]

I have never seen the fog on a river before. So beautiful. Thank you.

[@billybupkis3688]

From your spot in Nye County you can see Mt. Whitney with binos. If not just go up canyon a bit. Morning sun makes it magnificent.

[@nomadicweatherbear]

Virgin River Gorge is one of my favorite drives. ❤

[@noreenn6976]

I love that drive thru UT/AZ, the views are amazing! Thanks Brian!

[@gwh21375]

Don't rule out finding a private rv spot on Craigslist.

[@masayoshiba]

Good luck and welcome to NV. I was there to check a few days ago too. Since I don't have a "livable" vehicle (I am going to live in Jeep), no RV parks accept me...🥲 (sorry not relevant to your case) They told me price would go up from January. As for mailing forwarding service, I am going to use Mail, Message, and More in Pahrump... She was very helpful...

[@jrowenjr]

Wow! Brought back memories. I've driven the Virgin River Gorge so many times ( St. George to Mesquite and back). Nice vid.

[@hollybruns4077]

Excellent photography, I love seeing your rig in the photos for perspective. I’ve heard that a touch of mustard to the butter adds to a perfect grilled cheese.

[@chevyvantravel9735]

pick the rv park you want , take a pic of your set up and send it to them. they are trying to avoid the falling apart rigs yours doesn't look bad.

[@AdventureVanMan]

I've been going in person. It's really the 55 plus age thing that is the hurdle. I'm only 50!🤣

[@johnnesheim7719]

Great video, Brian. I'd say more, but I gotta go make a grilled cheese sandwich. Good luck finding a place to stay for 30 days.

[@edwardmoran1739]

Imagine being from Teaneck New Jersey and watching that ! So epic open and beautiful and warm, haha !!!!! Thanks Brian !!!

[@TheInappropriateArtist]

I absolutely love camping in that area of Nevada and I bet that grilled cheese tasted amazing!!

[@MAXIMUSMINIMALIST]

I was just here a few weeks ago. Very strong cellular signals and very convenient to town although the Walmart is the south end it's still convenient. Overall it's a great place to stay for a night or even a week.

[@sharonbice4119]

Brian, I used an RV park in Amargosa Valley. It is close to Pahrump and still in Nye County. It was very reasonable. I paid for a one month yet only stayed at the park for two days! It's worked out well. I believe it was called Amargosa RV Park, right off US-95.

[@MAXIMUSMINIMALIST]

I love Amargosa Valley! I drove truck dedicated for a year and spent many a night at the truckstop and look forward to going there for free camping as well.

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Love your videos. I live in Kingman, AZ and recognize the terrain.

Brian I camped in that very spot above the river 2 years ago. Million-dollar views of the gorge and the hills behind.

[@chiefonelung9415]

You're so beautiful. Thank you so much Brian for sharing this beautiful trip. I don't know if it is my phone what? I could barely hear this either your volume was not loud enough or something is wrong with my phone. I kept checking the volume. But I did finally able to listen holding the phone closely. Thank you so much.

Wow, that sunset with the cactus is quite beautiful.

[@MrSheymie]

Amazing view of sun on the hills at 7:22

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

I didn't realise there was a 'process' to go through to change residency address in the US. It seems a bureaucratic nightmare but hopefully it's all done smoothly in time. The weather here in NE Scotland is frosty and sunny today, about 2C. We have had a very wet period just past so it's good to have this crispy dry weather now. It's enjoyable to go on my ebike on hard forest tracks rather than in several cm of mud.

So sorry about my state not welcoming you so let me welcome you. I've lived here nearly 50 years. You won't have to do a smog check in Nye county and no state tax in Nevada. Don't be here in Southern Nevada June through mid October...unbearable heat. Mt Charleston provides relief from the heat plus gorgeous mountain atmosphere about 45 minutes from Vegas. Oh, by the way, your photography was so beautiful ❤
