I would rather just head South then to purchase all that And I , personally don't like driving in snow snd ice; too dangerous

I appreciate you so much, Sharing you adventure..I want to buy a van so much and travel like you.. I enjoy hearing the good and the worries.. be safe come south stay warm.. Texas to warmth

Please be careful in abandon buildings, you never know what’s hiding in there or what you may see. I was yelling at the phone, please don’t go in there, stay safe. 💙🙏🏽💙🙏🏽💙🙏🏽💯✌🏾

She takes a lot of risks. It’s only a matter of time until a dangerous human recognizes her van and follows her.

[@shannonking6328]

She carries protection everywhere, the least of which is a knife. She is former military. However, I was also frightened for her as she entered that abandoned building. I feel the same way about abandoned buildings and caves.

[@CandyG33]

@@Opune623 don’t speak that on her, i wouldn’t go that far, that’s a bit much. I just want her to stay safe.

[@Opune623]

@@CandyG33 am pointing out the obvious. She posts herself taking these risks and people are watching. What do you think will happen? It’s better someone says it so she takes heed.

[@n.e.barton1299]

Hi caves are dicey alone even if you are in a park. Abandoned mines are a definite no no. I grew up in Pennsylvania, and we looked at a coal mine that could collapse along with its timber structure. Another dangerous condition is from a mine flooding. It looks like drizzle outside, but there might be a sudden cascade of water blocking your exit. Truth. Stay safe 🤘

[@abbylynn8872]

That was very nice of him to demo putting on chains. If you have time, please leave a great review for the store. Great customer service is so under appreciated ❤

[@chellab6944]

Totally agree!!

[@mariepalkiewicz852]

I myself would definitely travel South in winters, North in Summers. Much less of a hassle and less costs. Safe travels

[@vickieyoung7122]

You'd miss the beautiful snow !

[@faithrada]

I'd do just a tad of snow... then yup... head south. Cold just hurts too much. ❄️

[@tinahauser8864]

I agree with traveling south for the winter. So much easier and safer to drive.

The south gets cold too in the winter

[@JerseyGirl50]

Two Arrows was a trading post. Business dropped after a new interstate was built. The State owns the land, but a tribe owns the buildings. Can’t remember what tribe.

[@colleen9311]

Thanks for the info. I figured the interstate had just bypassed it. So not a ghost town.

[@TrulyJefferson]

The Hopi own the buildings.

[@susansharpe7464]

As I grow older and wiser, I envy your lifestyle more and more. What a wonderful life you have created for yourself. I see it's not always easy, but what is? Being totally alone is profoundly freeing, yet challenging at the same time. I know, because I am. Be strong in your convictions, and I support you in my limited capacity. From someone who cares, and is old enough to be your mama.

[@janellowman2041]

Girllllllll, I was nervous for you. I was like "if you don't get your azz back in that van"!!! Be safe.

Please don’t miss visiting the Grand Canyon! It is an awesome sight!

[@lindaloo7604]

Only discovered your channel today! Loving your content and free, independent spirit and approach to life. 😊 Winterising your vehicle now is very sensible as it's only going to get colder and at least you won't be limited to where you can explore. If I were on my own, I'd so LOVE to do what you're doing! Good for you making the most out of every minute. I'm so very sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. Big hugs to you. I also lost my Dad earlier this year - he was 84 and loved the wilderness and simple life. You're very lucky to have such a beautiful and big country and roads to explore. I'm in the UK so just a wee bit smaller than the States! Thank you for the great videos, go safe and wishing you happy trails. xx

Make sure you have a snow shovel, bag of ice melt, and window ice scraper. Also, the packets of hand and feet warmers that hunters use and campers use. Just in case.

[@tijrus]

Love that you created a winter option. The weather is unpredictable; your future self will thank you.

[@NickieLeeJoe]

About the abandoned building : please stay safe. Always be aware of your inner voice and listen to it. I was afraid for you. "Prudence" in French. Not quite sure if it is the same word in English. Caution. A francophone admirer. 💛🧡❤🙏🙏🙏

[@jerriem364]

Hey there, you had me sitting at the edge of my seat when you went to that ghost town Twin Arrows . Girl, I was like don’t go in there and then you said you wasn’t going to go in and then seeing that mannequin , I was saying no don’t go in there 😮. I was so happy when you got out of there . Lol Girl praying 🙏🏽 for your safety each and every day. God be with you. Thank you for this journey.❤😊

[@SC_RAYE]

Good morning from Cali, Nomi. Hope all is well and I’m glad you’re living life to the fullest fam. Missed commenting on your last video bc I had to put down one of my huskies. Talk about broken-hearted, man. But he lived a good life, 11 years. Anyway, great video, loving the taco cheeseburger! I’m going to try that. Be safe, keep on trekking and God bless!

I like how helpful that employee was at NAPA. These days it's rare to find people who actually know the products they're selling, let alone care enough to give you a demo.

[@compu1048]

My anxiety was triggered when you walked into that abandoned small building by yourself. I just couldn't do it.

[@creativedesigns4007]

As an artist, I have a love and appreciation for graffiti, just not in the way shown in your video. It does give a more creepy vibe. There are some absolutely beautiful graffiti murals in L.A., but those are done with the owners permission.

I always look forward to your videos . They are always so well put together. Great job ❤

[@judyohio2917]

I love watching your cooking! I've certainly picked up some spice tips from you. This dinner you made "today" looks great. I took a tip from your example. I made tatertot hotdish for dinner in the crockpot, but I was going to pan grill a small steak for lunch. I had 10 or so tatertots that didn't fit in the crockpot. So I put a tiny bit of butter in my steak pan, put tge tatertots in until they started to brown...then put my steak in the same pan. Some of the seasoning got on the tots. Everything was perfect! Best tots I've ever made. I never would have put it in the same pan, but for you! God's speed today. Thank you

[@marshataylor3703]

Come east to northwestern PA! Beautiful scenic routes, rural areas/counties such as Warren, Forest, McKean, Crawford, Venango, Elk-and yes we have Elk herds in Elk County! We have Allegheny National Forest, Kinzua Dam, Kinzua Bridge attraction, Drake Well, where oil was first discovered in PA. Really beautiful right now with all the fall foilage and colors! Also have Lake Erie and Presque Isle. You would love it!

[@SharonG-ip3ll]

Day 1 subbie here. Your cooking for one is always inspirational and gives me new things I want to try. That cheeseburger taco looks delicious. Good idea to go ahead and get winterized early. That way you're not scrambling at the last minute in a surprise snow storm situation. As always, safe travels. Enjoying the journey. God bless you.

Definitely winter camping is fun, beautiful!

[@dvinedzine]

The place was abandoned just in 1995, would be interesting if a highly skilled team went in and restored the buildings and opened a cafe and Route 66 souvenir place with vintage vehicles. 🙂

[@dukecitywildcat]

I think the ProMaster is front wheel drive not real wheel drive like you mentioned in the video, so you will probably want to install them on the front wheels if you ever need to use them.

[@hadlee189]

Oh wow, I like that little camper Nomi, that's all you need for yourself, & to be comfortable. Nomi if you want some cooler weather go north in Arizona, to Flagstaff. It's a very beautiful little town, that's off the beaten path.

I'm digging the juxtaposition between oldness of the place and the newness of the graffiti. Two generations represented.

[@dollladie]

As an artist, I don't see this graffiti as "destroying" anything. It's beautiful and tells a story. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I understand it. They took a discarded blank canvas, and created with it. Be safe this season. I think you are living your life in the moment, and that's a GOOD thing ❤ .. follow the road your heart leads you to.

[@captureallen8632]

I agree. We, as artists, see things like this differently.

[@surrealsista]

As an artist I also agree. It’s no different than a tattoo, really. Tattoos are art on a blank canvas. Your body is a historical element and tattooing gives it character even if it isn’t the way it was originally created. I do understand how it can seem mean-spirited and destructive. But keep in mind, the building was abandoned and condemned. The art beautified a space that now is owned by no one and was left to rot. Not everyone’s cup of tea. Be safe, and enjoy every minute of God’s creation. Even the “ugly” parts!

[@kimirio66]

Nomi is right, that it's sad that people vandalize old buildings...Whenever I come across old sites, I always think that back in the day, it was a business and people visited it, spent their money there and memories were possibly created there.
