We Made Camp In The BADLANDS SD | Ambulance Conversion Life

[@gd4u422]

I love when Lefty is sitting in the drivers seat-I swear he looks like he knows how to drive! LOL!

[@L-Anded]

I like that floodlight. Very comforting. Lefty's little paws holding that biscuit while he daintily nibbled on it just melts my heart. I liked the two dogs taking ownership of their houses and telling the other one about it. Dogs crack me up. They take their jobs very seriously.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

The motion lights are great for lighting up home when we walk up :)

[@melodiebelle1]

I was really surprised how quiet in the rig versus all the traffic noise when you went outside. You and Lefty be safe and happy travels.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

The box stays pretty quiet inside thankfully - lets us get good sleep :)

[@w.e.b.8719]

I have not seen a Sinclair gasoline station in over 4 decades. I always loved the Brontosaurus, now renamed Apatosaurus, when I was a child.

[@IamN...]

1990 I was in the Badlands. The most spectacular sunrise I had ever seen lighting the canyons up with every hue of purple to white. Memories for a lifetime.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

It is a beautiful place!

Sorry! Cinnabon will never measure up to my Mom's cinnamon rolls.

Good to see that you are all alright. I was getting concerned because I had not seen your video in a few days. Give Lefty a hug for me.

[@nursebabs]

I love the way he talks to you. It just cracks me up 🤣

[@dcwallace9930]

I do love Bear! He looks like such a sweetheart Hope you're fixing Jeff a cup of joe in the mornings.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

He's a great dog! Very gentle :)

[@MsPhillyG]

Just love the scenery on your journey. I love watching Lefty sleeping in the front seat. I traveled from South Florida to PA with 3 big dogs and it was alot of work. We slept at rest areas in btw the 18 wheelers for safety and because the humming from the trucks helped us sleep comfortably. I had to stop quite a bit to let the dogs out to stretch thier legs, do thier business and to rotate them in the SUV. I made it back to PA just before a horrendous snow storm.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

We do a lot of stops to get out and walk - when I see good grass we stop!!

[@danielbaughn1923]

Beautiful scenery! Good for you and the Cinnabon! LOL

Love cinnabon. But I can only eat half...so sweet.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

It takes me 2 or 3 goes to finish it !

[@johntossing624]

Great music selection. The road trip tunes are spot on. Thanks for sharing.

[@tracythorn2918]

Thanks for the walk through Wall Drug, it's been a while. Very close to the badlands you'll find the Minuteman Missle Silo, it's a fun tour. Everything was left just as it was in the 80's when it was shut down as part of the "Salt II" Treaty.

[@earndoggy]

My cousin used to get summer jobs every year at Wall Drug. I've been past it about half a dozen or more times but never stopped in.

[@sarahoconnell7801]

McDonald's has a pretty tasty cinnamon roll for about half that price...

[@pattystuart8095]

Western SoDak hit the trifecta with the Badlands, Black Hills, and Mt. Rushmore.

[@markrenfrow9873]

Hey Dave and Lefty. I always have to stop at Wall Drugs. After reading all those signs, it seems necessary. Last time we took the fur kids in to the backyard. Couple of stuffed buffalo there. Buddy the wonder hound cautiously went up and sniffed a hoof, looked up, made a rapid tactical retreat! It was a moment that I still laugh about. Y'all roll on!

[@TheCampulanceMan]

Lefty got to explore all around Wall but... I lost the footage somehow :/

[@meatdog]

Ooooh man, a warm ooie gooey cinnabun and a hot cup of joe..... heaven!!. Especially on the road on a cold morning. Smell the enticing goodness.

[@sharonrose1226]

What an absolutely beautiful sunrise! Really amazingly awesome!! Thank you for sharing that.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

We always get some great sunrises and sunsets down there :)

[@mitzilickliter3879]

That Sculpture was Awesome!! I've never seen that before. Nice! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent Travel Experience ... You two rock!

[@crystalphillips696]

That museum place was amazing you went through I can't believe how big it was. I bet you could spend the whole day in there and never see everything it has. Lefty was so happy when you came back to the truck he looks so cute sitting in the driver's seat.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

That's a wild place that sells everything :)

[@donnastedham9822]

Lefty is a great travel companion. I think he does want to drive.

I wonder what left you was thinking when he's in the front seat and then his head leaned over and he looked backwards. Dogs rule. How in the heck did you notice that snake while you were driving it looked like it was pretty small

Cinnabon = YUMMY! Speaking of jake brakes, once I was going from Nebraska to Iowa through Omaha on 80 and just over the border there was some construction. I was driving a 1986 Mustang and there was an 18 wheeler behind me. Eventually the road got down to one lane. I was boogeying along with my friendly knight of the road behind me when I noticed two cars pulled off on the shoulder ahead. Something told me to lift and just as I did they both pulled out directly in front of us. I could barely stop my little Mustang in time and the poor trucker behind me had to lay down on his brakes. All I could hear was the roar of the jake brake and I couldn't even see his headlights anymore, he was about a foot from my bumper. I felt so bad for him. Luckily we all came through it fine.

[@danrandall794]

Don't feel bad for him he was following to close and could have killed you. I get a kick when people say things like that other vehicle did something totally unexpected. Really? Just start driving today? Those things are TOTALLY expected and they happen all the time. Wake up people especially you truckers. Distractions and following distance causes so many crashes.

[@earndoggy]

@@danrandall794 Yes, Negative Nancy, LOL, that's why I didn't hit them, I lifted because I was expecting them to pull out in front of me.

[@BionicLesbian]

Loved the ending 🤗

[@1954shadow]

Was out on the bike trail today, my “Lefty” sticker on the back of my helmet, is like a good luck charm.

[@ellertorresiii1081]

Hello David and Mr. Lefty. Once in a blue moon, I would crave for a Cinnabon too. Loves Gas Station always does it for me. At any rate, How’s your daughter Dalynn doing from her car accident. Are they able to repair her car vs totaling it? I am glad for you though because your rig is running quite well. Very nice view of sunset and sunrise. Take care and always be safe my friend.

Wish I could do a roadtrip in my little micro camper to the US 😎. Safe travels Davy and lefty 😁👍

Have you ever had the fuel tank down? There is a sock around the intake line inside the tank that is renown for getting clogged up. Much known for causing people to lose power on long grades.

[@davidmohr4606]

Really a different perspective for me. I drive between Sioux Falls, Mitchell and Chamberlain, SD on a regular basis. The fuel stop in Mitchell, the wind generators near white Lake, and the Missouri River crossing were neat. When you left the Chamberlain Rest area, there was a light blue/turquoise water tower in the distance. I live about 200 yards south of the tower (between the tower and the hospital). I really enjoy your efforts in taking us along on your travels. If you ever make it back this way, I'd be honored to meet you and Lefty for a meal and conversation. Safe Travels!!! Also really glad the front sway bar and differential gearset are all working well.
