WE DID NOT LOVE THE GRAND CANYON // 13 ft Scamp Trailer // A Busy, Hot, Scary Crack in the Ground

[@wheatridger]

Anybody who arrives at the South Rim overlook in the middle of the day will be disappointed. With the sun over your shoulder as you look north, the light flattens the ridgelines, making it look like a postcard of itself. The Canyon is best seen during the hours around dawn and sunset, when the sun is in the east and west. That light transforms the scene into countless layers of depth, line and space. Better luck next time.

[@ladyandthescamp]

Good to know. We found the hardest part was scope. It's so hard to fathom the canyon that the mind can't wrap around it enough to appreciate it. I think maybe had we seen it this way, it would be different.

[@Joe-cu4hi]

You both are so fun and you make due with what you have, we appreciate that so much. Thank you for sharing

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks! That’s a nice compliment.

[@cdlady54_95]

Now that was a great trip!

[@ladyandthescamp]

It was!

[@lindaf741]

Your prepared meals look yummy

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks! We like to eat!

[@lauraburke6195]

Can we go now, lol. Winter coat and flip flops, that’s how us midwesterners roll! Looking forward to the next segment 😊

[@ladyandthescamp]

You know it!! Thanks!

[@0HARE]

Wow, what a great episode! I’m in awe of your planning and organizational skills. Sad to see that you had a less than wonderful time there. We took our ‘79 Scamp to the Grand Canyon in 2012. We spent two nights and three days at Desert View Campground there. For us it was wonderful, two adults and no children.(we have no kids). We took the motorcycle for a ride along the South Rim road, and every evening the Park Rangers had a presentation at the edge of the Canyon. Wishing you all well, and Happy Camping!

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks! We had fun...just not at the canyon. :)

[@joansidor5191]

I just pack for myself and 2 little dogs.. I admire you. Joan

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks! It took months of planning.

[@callieduval3000]

Was in awe of the grand canyon because I grew up with a few hills and trees everywhere but once you stare a few minutes that's about it so it's a thing you do once and that's enough

[@ladyandthescamp]

Yep, once is enough!

[@paullopez2000]

Really impressive you cook every meal! Like a proper meal

[@ladyandthescamp]

We really like food. :)

[@lynnerussell1440]

I love the Grand Canyon. Born in LA; so I love it there too. The "shower" was fantastic.

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks for watching!!

[@joansidor3409]

I love the north rim!! South rim is way too crowded! Joan

[@ladyandthescamp]

It was busy!

[@julysanchez-sadowski7086]

The Grand Canyon is overwhelming-- it's so big! Enjoy LA 😉

[@ladyandthescamp]

It is! It’s too hard to even understand.

[@jscott1213]

Ah, little man didn’t like the living on the edge. Great video, thanks. We have geese that use the crosswalk. They bring their babies and show them the way.

[@ladyandthescamp]

you got the treat!! He did not like the edge!

[@debk6598]

You are amazing! Your packing and organization are epic! I’m with your little-I don’t like those cliff edges. 🥰

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks!

[@driline]

OMG Your editing and selection of music was pure genius. I felt like I was watching a Netflix special. Absolutely hilarious. Ok seriously now I’ve worked in television for 17 years at a top 100 market CBS affiliate. If you don’t start submitting your videos to production houses in California then I will. You have incredible talent. Do something with it!

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks so much for your vote of confidence. :) As much as I like filming and editing, I think that ship has sailed (I’m old). But I appreciate you watching!

[@driline]

@@ladyandthescamp You’re not old. I’m old 😂. Anyway if you ever decide to change careers……..

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks! Haha!

[@tracylamont8137]

We did a similar trip to yours. 3 weeks and 9 national parks! The North Rim to the Grand Canyon is beautiful! Your dinners look amazing and simple. Your children are so luck!

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks!! You hit it hard with 9 national parks!! We could only fit 5!

[@rictech1325]

Yea definitely great video.. I have no desire to travel Grand Canyon? Kinda freaks me out … watching on videos is good enough. Again and always such a beautiful family!!!! Like I said before? Please be careful in LA. Do not take your eyes off anything. Know your surroundings at all times.. your friend ric in nor cal..

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks! La was awesome!

[@paullopez2000]

Love the videos

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks!

[@tylerhoose3750]

We did a similar trip last year, Eastern Iowa to Sedona Arizona. Now we're trying to plan a trip to Florida. The scamp is the best!

[@ladyandthescamp]

Have fun!!

[@eduardohart9899]

Hi. We enjoy your videos, please keep posting. We are planning to get a Scamp 13 with bathroom and we are unsure to include an A/C. Does your Scamp have A/C? and if it has then do you actually use it? Thanks.

[@ladyandthescamp]

We do have A/C but did not choose it. We used it three times in 25 days on our trip. And maybe a couple before that. We don't really see a need for it because we don't usually travel in the hottest parts of the country, and when we do, we just get an airbnb due to the cost of some of the hipcamps and electical camping spots. I have thought about ripping it off many times. But, if you plan to travel where there will be power (we boondock a lot), and in parts of the country when it's hot, it might work for you. We find it an expensive waste.

[@dgale1023]

I live in California so I've been to the canyon more than once and 2 hours is all you need. I have pics of the Canyon and they all basically look the same

[@lisauerkvitz3198]

Do you use the refrigerator much when you’re on the road if you have access to electricity at campgrounds? Also, do you put much water in the fresh water tank when traveling? I trying to figure out how this all works when I pick up my new Scamp in the next few weeks.

[@ladyandthescamp]

I almost never use the fridge for long trips. Too much propane and a cooler works fine for us. I wouldn’t have bought a fridge if I could have chosen. We only put fresh water in when we are near water sources.

[@rederic2004]

Looks like you may need a good rest after this part of the Vacay.

[@ladyandthescamp]

Yes. For sure.

[@joansidor5191]

South rim? Or north? J

[@ladyandthescamp]

South. the good rim. :)

[@lisa1s2know31]

From National Lampoons Vacation: Clark Griswald : Roy... can I call you Roy? Have you even driven cross-country? Roy Walley : Oh, hell yes. Drove the whole family to Florida. Worst two weeks I ever spent in my life. The smell from the back seat was terrible. Clark Griswald : Ooooh. Ooooh, I know that smell. Kidding aside, I love your videos! Terrified of heights!

[@ladyandthescamp]

Haha! Thanks! I love that movie!

[@monikalenz2559]

Lucky kids to have parents like you.

[@ladyandthescamp]

Thanks! I’ll remind them when they are teenagers. :)

It's *good* gal, i Like Lady & the Scamp's KZbin offerings! 🙏🦉 🏞️

[@Alohasheree]

Wait! What kind of Graham crackers did you use for the smores? They looked thicker than others. Also, hubby is VERY flexible.

[@ladyandthescamp]

They are gluten free and taste much better than actual graham crackers!

[@joetrumblak3522]

Love your videos very enjoyable. The kids look like they're having a ball. My question is with everything that you put in the Scamp to be traveling does your husband know how much weight is on your trailer hitch just curious.

[@ladyandthescamp]

We weighed it at a cat scale. I made a video of it. We are pretty careful.

[@KindredSpirit909]

I’m with the kids with their fear of heights! Another KZbinr suggested Scrubzz for easy ‘sponge baths’. They’re great and only need a couple of tablespoons of water to activate. Plus, no need to rinse.

[@ladyandthescamp]

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

[@KindredSpirit909]

@@ladyandthescamp good for all over, but if skin sensitivity, at least for feet!

Sounds good!

Welcome to LA. Stay away from the weirdos 😂. Hey go visit the first historic McDonald’s museum in San Bernardino. It’s free. If u saw “the founder” on Netflix. You’ll know some history. 👍🏽

[@ladyandthescamp]

Cool! Thanks!

[@djkenny1202]

Your little is like me with Heights. Nope. The Woah people made me Woozie. Sitting on the Edge? Nope. Nope. And Nope.

[@ladyandthescamp]

haha. Yes. He does not appreciate heights. Those people were so relaxed sitting on the edge. Crazy.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

I, too, was underwhelmed with the Grand Canyon. We did both hiking and a helicopter ride of it. Just seemed huge but that was about it. Mountain Ranges and Canyons were commonplace during my childhood and earlier adult years so I didn't see the awesomeness of it other than its size.

[@ladyandthescamp]

Yeah, even from the Midwest we were not super excited. It was just a huge hole!

[@kristirichards2249]

I didnt love the Grand Canyon either. Vacation when Ellen asks Clark "Dont you wanna see the Grand Canyon?" My reaction was similar to Clark's. Love Sedona tho. Love you guys but why do you have a photo of Adele on your cooler?

[@ladyandthescamp]

Sedona is on our list! Adele is my best friend. :) I love her as much as the Scamp. :)
