You always make me laugh
Caroline I feel I know for so long now, you are always welcome to boondock on my property in Florida, mossey head to be exact. We have this land and live in tents while we build a small cabin
I like lived in a van back in 2004, I felt unwelcome everywhere I went, the road was hard and isolating, and I know I have rough patches in life, so I purchased land and put a 8 by 12 shed on the place, then my boyfriend bought land in Florida, it's been great we have been here 5 months it's kindred here, my credit card didn't work at the store and guy behind me demanded to buy the gas for me, I told him I didn't need it I have another card, what I am saying is I have been finding kind people here.
Sometimes I wish I could travel with you Carolyn.
I missed out on living the life you have .
I know your a nomad, but if you ever want to stop by, your welcome, you are a brainact like myself and we are hard to find esp. ones that are still open to learning. We have 4 dog's, we didn't exactly ask for but that's ok we have plenty of love for them all. I remember your journey long ago, I don't want to bring it up, however, I haven't lost my dog's, my eldest is 18, the pain you went through is still unimagined for me. Hard is hard and yes some days everything you try to do is hard and harder, you give me the strength I need to keep going,
Omg it makes me insane when people are loud after quiet hours! 😡😡 That’s why we stay at state parks because they usually enforce it. But you don’t need to apologize for being cranky. I so get it. 😍😍
I would have nicely asked them to finish their party inside. I would have told them I needed to sleep. Or asked the host to tell them.
I’m old...live alone...caring for some outside critters and took 2 sickly stray cats in.
My life has been pretty topsy turvy...nothing turned out the way I thought it would. Not even close. Single parent..got rid of ex who drank and partied too much. Raised my girls alone. I received not one cent for child support. Worked hard..hectic job..
Tried to give my kids a loving, stable environment. Never remarried. Fostered shelter animals, worked and helped raise all 5 grandkids. Ex harassed me...but paid no child support. His family didn’t let me know he had mental issues...and I saw no sign of anything until his dad passed . He went off the deep end. I lost my dad at 16 yrs old...had to be strong for my mom who wasn’t doing well. Neither was I. Only child...so I went to school, worked 2 afternoons a week after school. And came home to my mom. Wasn’t easy. My best friend moved away after she got married...so I had no one except a few close family members.
Sorry...didn’t mean to ramble... I don’t work anymore. Got about 15 heath issues and I’m financially, emotionally and physically feeling drained. Just a tad bit of savings left...so hopefully will be exiting soon. Not in a morbid way....just..everyone in my family has died from heart issues at an early age. So young...even my younger daughter. She was only 37. My dad was 42 yrs old. His mom was 36 yrs old. One of my cousins died from heat problems at 19 yrs old. Mostly everyone on both sides of family gone by 71/72 yrs old...or much younger.
Thing is....I’m still here for some reason , will be 75 yrs old soon...and I’m exhausted...and obviously drs figured out that I have a substantial list of health issues...crazy weird stuff. Fatigue and pain is worse.
I live alone in my tiny home..grandkids all grown up...busy...living lives...I don’t drink, smoke or do any recreational drugs...and I’m never lonely. I hate socializing.. I hate loud noises, bright lights and crowds...omg...I’ve changed so much over the years. I love my solitude, do what I’m able to do...the rest doesn’t get done. There’s no handymen/handy women in my area who will do any repairs..or help...so it is what it is. What’s broken stays broken for now.
I don’t understand why people drink or try other substances too. Their brains are being short circuited..and they have no awareness. Everything gets blurry, including their words and actions...and the noise volume goes up, and people just blank out (common sense is definitely blurred by alcohol)..and act strange, loud and, sometimes, obnoxious.
Even as a little kid...I didn’t like crowds and loudness.
Might just be me. I’m old and I’m quirky and I’ve nothing to prove to anyone. And I don’t answer to anyone....but still love and care for my family and my fur babies (inside and outside).
I like seclusion...maybe in a big mountain cabin...a few people tp help me....and the only beings I’d want to hang with would kinda be non humans. They’re much nicer than many humans I’ve interacted with and/or met throughout my life.
Sorry...long ramble....was trying to say I understand how loud music, noise and booze...or whatever...may somehow cause most people to lose his/her ability to think and act rationally...and if their brains are short circuiting...they’re not even going to actually realize how they’re acting, how loud they are...and there’s no rational thinking going on ...so they won’t comprehend that either. Yeah that sums up my ex. Annoying ...very annoying. And I didn’t need my kids or my dog bothered by his late night visits to our home several times a month.
I like being alone.. and I think you like your space too. Hugs to you and Sadie. Good luck, stay safe! Stay safe. 💓💓
Ms Sandella11- As long as there is a breath in your body, someone needs what you have to offer, if you chose, of course. Judging from your post, you are a woman of enormous strength. And, You have taken care of everyone else with flying colors. Aside from all that, you managed to still be going at 72 1/2!! Bravo!! I am 77, turning 78 in March. And, I have health issues, as well. But, I am focusing on what I CAN do, not what I can’t do anymore. And, I live alone, with no kids, no family in this state, and a few really good friends. Yes, it’s sometimes scary, sometimes lonely, sometimes it seems hopeless and like no one cares. But. The one thing that keeps me going is the spirit of God within me. Not everyone believes the same, and I respect that. But, building a relationship with what you do believe in is paramount in being able to handle life as it comes.
You can be very proud of what you have accomplished in this life. You seem like an excellent mother and grandmother who has put her family first. While I don’t have all the answers, I do know that you are needed right where you are. Your life is NO accident. I am sending you good vibes today of love, good times, and a hope for the future. ♥️🙏🏼♥️
@@sandella11 WOW, I read everything you wrote and hear you loud and clear. Your fur babies and any humans you allow around you are blessed to have you in their lives🐾🐾💙🦋💙 Maybe go outside, take off your shoes and feel the earth beneath you, stretch your arms to the sky, close your eyes and breath in all the nature and oxygen around you. Take that time for yourself. You've given so much of yourself. Doing what I suggested is giving to yourself and will reenergize you. Just a thought. I need to go do that myself,,,it's been awhile 🥰🦋🦋
@@sandella11 💙maybe your compassion is why you are still here? You're obviously an amazing lady for doing all that you did on your own. Hope you have some relief for your medical issues. Your what you call ramblings may be wisdom to some, seems you have quite a story you could tell. Peace to you.
Girl. Just had one of my top 5 worst days RV'ing ever in the Smokey Mountains. The people were amazing, the roads... not meant for RV's! Such a relief to see someone else had a sucky day RVing... feels better to not be alone. Thanks for being real!! I feel so much better. I guess we're all bound to have these kind of days. Thanks again for the honesty in your video.
Hi 😊 there janel.beach from nyc long island 😎😊🏝️
cant imagine those mountain roads in a Rv. Our Astro high top van had issues. I just wanted to be back on flat ground lol
good for you to share your raw feelings in the moment. those people were highly inconsiderate and your reaction was normal. if it happens again, perhaps you may find your generator needs to be turned on very early the next morning ;)
Hope you finally got some rest, I watched all the video. Love you cranky and all.
😴
Agreed 💯 Carolyn's.🙂👍💜
Carolyn, it was good of you to share your story. I am sure you are helping a lot of people with this video. My experience with 12-steps programs were more positive. I found the experienced people in the room (those with one or more years of success) to be generally affirmative, healthy, employed, groomed and rested. The "not-always-old-timers" all had their quirks, foibles, frustrations and failings, but they were generally were successful because they remembered what not-to-do. These were 99% voluntary meetings, not "jail or meetings" meetings. Not that anyone is better than anyone else, but the zeitgeist if one is voluntarily in the room can be more upbeat I think. People are there because they WANT to be there. The people with one or more years of success were generally friendly, no-nonsense and helpful. I got a lot of great advice such as: "you'll plan your relapse" (that put me on my guard against back sliding), "no one ever died of lack of sleep," "there's no problem that drinking won't make worse," "h.a.l.t. = hungry, angry, lonely, tired," etc. I can remember one woman saying (with 6 years of "success" under her belt): "I still hear the voices in my head telling me 'you're a nothing, a loser, a nobody.' The difference is I don't listen any more."
Second, there is a God. I'm going to give you St. Thomas Aquinas on how we can feel assured there is a God. One, study creation. Start with the universe, just a tiny slice of it like the Solar System. One cannot help but become struck with awe. Study "black holes," "quasars" and "dark matter." Look at photos of the planet Jupiter taken from the Hubble Space Telescope. Think all of that just happened? Try making something out of nothing. I make things, and it's hard to make something come out "right" and "usable." Only God can make things perfectly, and out of nothing.
Einstein started out as an atheist. He came to a sort of deist believe--that is, he came to believe there is an intelligent design in the universe--in his quest for a "unified theory," which he never achieved. (He did not believe in a personal God, or in the person of Jesus Christ as God, however, or even in JC as a confirmed 'historical person' to my knowledge. That is, Einstein, to my knowledge, did not buy into things like the 10 commandments or private revelation.
Second way we access God (per St. Thomas Aquinas) is through private revelation and personal inspiration. What's the personal inspiration? The longing for the transcendent. This is the proverbial "hole in my heart that can only be filled by You". What's private revelation? God comes to you in a way that cannot be denied and is often sensorially confirmed. Here, God takes the lead. One cannot "produce" or "demand" a private revelation. However, JC said "seek and you will find," and I found Him trustworthy in that statement. I did seek the truth quite doggedly (having a God-sized hole in my heart) and did find (because He had mercy on me). God has no favorites. You seek Him with all your heart and soul, you will find Him.
Recommended reading in your vision quest (assuming you have one): C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity" and "The Great Divorce". I've read almost all of Lewis' nonfiction and a good deal of his fiction. He convinced me (and he was a genius type and started out a hard-core atheist. He described himself in his autobiography "Surprised by Joy" as the most reluctant convert in England.) Second, study the life of St. Padre Pio who died in 1968 and had the stigmata of JC for 50 years. He could bi-locate and performed many miracles, exorcisms and won millions of conversions for Our Lord. Third, read Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. There is real power in scripture.
Keep up the good work! We'll keep subscribing and watching!
I appreciate the rawness and authenticity of your video today. Thank you for posting! Always, much love and support!
Hi 😊 there silver.shandin.from nyc long island. 😎🙂
Carolyn, I discovered your channel recently and can not stop watching. You are intelligent, engaging, entertaining & fearless. Thank you for sharing your (& Sadie's) adventures with us.
Sadly, this is the reality in all populated areas. Society has deteriorated in terms of civil behavior.
Welcome to Ohio! We love to party and usually our neighbors are other family members so no one care... lol. I laughed at your blooper. Had to rewind it three times to believe the slip up actually came out of your mouth. You made my day.
if i lived in Ohio i would stay drunk too..
Good Morning. There are a lot of chickens not taken care of but local farmers markets or little local farms have happy field chickens and their eggs are golden yellow. We have two back yard chickens who are spoiled rotten with all the left overs they could eat and daily worms and lots of time in the yard out scratching.
There are assholes everywhere. They knew what they were doing. We were camping at a state park and turned in for the night. 12am a guy got ontop of his motorhome and started a gas blower and was blowing the pine needles off the top. WTF!
I called the police, screw the camp host. I didn't think they would show up, but I was pleasantly surprised that they did. So, they not only made him stop but told him to leave the park.
Videotaping is key.
Sadie looked at the vehicle and didn’t see anything to get excited about.😮. You had a long drive to go to your home. Congratulations!
Oh my gosh, Carolyn! My wife and I lived 5 minutes from that awful state park in Grand Rapids! We lived near there for ten years. That campground had the worst reputation. It made it on the news more than once. Also, it flooded at least once a year. I wish I knew you would be there, and I would have warned you. Anyway, sorry you had a bad time of it. But thank you for all the video. It brings back memories. Grand Rapids is a really cute town. We used to go to the yearly Apple Butter Festival there. Since my wife is gone, I haven't been back to Ohio, and really have no plans to go. Sorry to go on and on, just wanted to say 'small world'! Safe travels to you! And best wishes for no more parks like Mary Jane Thurston State Park! 😳
Oh wow!!! That's kinda crazy that it had a reputation for that kind of nonsense. LOL. Thank you for sharing.
I also lived in Grand Rapids, Ohio area for many years..the Apple butter Festival is Amazing..The little town of Grand Rapids is a fun day trip.
Walking the trail behind the shops and restaurant to the actual Rapids is a short nice Trail. The River you were speaking of is the Maumee River. A lot of interesting history
In that Area. Unfortunately you picked a Park that does not have much and gets little Attention as far as upkeep. It is and always has been a Park for the "Locals". Most of them barely over 21 who do go there to drink and party. This Park gets little Attention except for those who maybe want to go boating & water skiing. No such thing as quiet time in that park or any other in that area along the Maumee River. There are some pretty Daytime Family Parks on the other side of the
River..and those are and always
Have been a great place for Families to go and picnic and kids to play. Yes you definitely
Would have had a better rest at Walmart or one of the big Truck
Stops. Sorry about your bad experience..as there really are
Some cool laid-back day trips in that area..just unfortunately not what you were looking for at the time.
be safe read those reviews. I do now after some awful experiences myself.Leave on yourself, so no one else has to endure that crap.
ohhhh! Carolyn! your silliness just cracks me up! thank you for being YOU!
Yes, we all do it! But you are brave enough , "to tell it"! ❤😊
There are times I wish I could travel with you. But I've missed my chance at living a life like yours .
I’ve watched you now for a few years, I have to say I still really enjoy your content and of course The dog. I know why I like you , You’re real.xx
Thank you 😊
About all you can do Carolyn is to remember the sounds of the forest, the sounds of the birds, the sounds of Sadie nearby, and know that you have peace in your heart. Home is in your heart, and that's all that matters.
that so nice Cheryl
Good to see someone else show their real side when They don't sleep. My usual because I suffer from Innsomnia. You made me laugh Carolyn. Thanks for keeping it real.
Hello Carolyn and Miss Sadie! Sadie is such a Great Travel Buddy! I agree, others seem to have zero respect anymore! The fees for the sites are outrageous! I hope you voiced what all was wrong and gave them the bad review they deserved! God Bless and Safe Travels! Donna NE GA mtns
Hi 😊 there donna.latty.agreed with u 🙂👍😎🎃🎃❤️
Been there. Done that. One night in Louisiana me and my 96 year old mother were in the middle of our site in my rig. A mother and father and their toddler and brand new baby set up their tent RIGHT on the line of our site. Baby cried all night. Mom yelled at toddler. They were no more than 5-6 feet from us. The whole other side of their site they used for a car and picnic table and playpen. There was no one on the other side of them. I asked nicely if they could move their tent away from our rig for the next two nights we were supposed to be there and SHE called the park ranger and said that I threatened her!!
Talk about cranky….😂
Yes I agree Carolyn, you had a right to be cranky. What a world we live in nowadays!
Ha Ha . You are easily entertained, just like me. I crack myself up all the time.
Oh, Carolyn! I SO feel you! I was in a campground for a month, already paid for, of course, and the neighbors from hell moved in next door. After many complaints and no help from the host, I began to record them. 1:30 a.m. and the husband was 8-10 feet from my window HOWLING AT THE MOON! They sometimes stayed up with a dozen or so invited guests (who parked half in my campsite) til the sun was coming up! I’ve not stayed in a campground since that horrible month, two years ago! You have a right to be angry and cranky. We feel your pain!
People are incredibly inconsiderate and selfish. I am SO SICK of the entitlement. I hope things improved.
Loretta here that 🙂👍👍
The braille 😂😂😂😂😂😂 OMG!!! That's hilarious!!!!! But you caught the Amish popcorn!!!!! I'm literally laughing out loud at that!!!!
Treat looks delish for sure and I would love to try it...can't wait for your cookbook!!!! Cheers
I know exactly how you feel about,unbelievably rude people,on the road while camping.
This past year,while boondocking in calfornia,I was in a campsite,parked on it's own short driveway,before fire ring.
At 0600 in morning,mind you, a large brand new expensive truck with new RV,pulled around me went onto the grass and went on the other side of my fire ring.
Then began to uncamp in my space,talking loudly.
Of course I woke up and when they saw me a young man and worman,they just looked away,ignored me and went on putting out their chairs etc.
It was the last spot with phone service,I just left,went down rd to better spot,but no phone,so left later in day.
Went I went back,their RV was still there,with there stuff outside but they and there truck had left.
I've seen a lot of rude people on my trips,but that one was the winner of all time.
Great video like always,and that's why we love you,because you show us your real self,the good,happy and down moments as well in life.
Because that's what life and humanity is,good times and bad,and not always a Rose Garden.
Thank you! 🍀Better future camping 🏕. Love your dog!🍀
Your looking good. I admire the way to cook all your meals. Keep up the great work and thank you for a great Sunday video. Love seeing towns along your trips. Sadie is cute as always
I had a kid that walked into my site once a hide behind a tree and watched me and my grandson. I told my grandson to stay put, I walked around and crabbed the kid and walked him to his site and told his mother to keep her son on her site or better yet inside her cabin. They had to many people in the cabin and they were loud as hell. Mind you this was a family-owned campground. I had just driven from VA to NJ to see family and I was tried. The mother called me a hick and go back where I came from. Hell flew into me and my NJ accent and attitude came out. I went back to my site and told my grandson that we will mark this campground off our list. WELL she turned me in! The owner came to me and asked me to leave now, my grandson said sir, I have video of what was going on and how I handled it. (Smart on his part) Well he left my site and showed her the video and asked to pack up and leave because she didn't have control of the kids. On the video it showed the boy reaching inti my van. Also I found out that my cousin bought this campground a few months back.
@18:24 It's the exact location my nephew passed in 2008 while fishing. Down that tow path there is a memorial set up for him! Thank you
I’m surprised someone (camp host) didn’t call the cops. My experience in campgrounds (state or otherwise) is the camp host calls the cops & they handle it especially if there is alcohol (or the camp host is a woman) involved. Looking forward to the meet & greet. Hopefully I’ll get to go.
Good to see you Carolyn Sadie. So sorry about that experience at the campground. Take care stay safe God bless you both
Cranky! Once I marched around the block in my dressing gown and marched into a party and yelled "Shut UP!" Im a cranky Leo!
So glad you share everything. I will be out there within the next year and I've learned so much from you. Especially how I want to camp. As an introvert myself, I think it will be a lot of boondocking for me. Thanks for being you!
Had a similar experience last month while tent camping. The campers next to me had a large television hooked up to a computer and power bank and watched adventure movies until midnight! I asked the ranger if there was quiet hours - he said 10 p.m. then asked "oh the TV?" I said yes and he said he usually just drives by and they get the message. So I'm thinking - "usually?" so they are probably regulars and he probably didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Needless to say - no sleep for me. Set a bad tone for my next day.
I love the just egg. Easy and I can make more for leftovers and reheats great
Totally with you eating healthy on the road. I have found I have cut back calories and increased moving my body. A perfect storm for better well being. Thank you for sharing your food experiences❤
Even with the challenges it's awesome when you get a good place! It all evens out.
Love the info and tour as you drive through the towns!
It was funny! Needed to laugh. Thanks.
I like the salty words!😅💞😘Happy Trails and Safe travels.
Keeping it real! It's not all rainbows and unicorns.
I always learn something useful when I watch your videos
Awesome, thank you!
A very real video. I loved it. I share your feelings about loud campers.
We all have bad days. We all get cranky. Glad to see you are like the rest of us! Lol
Did you ever say anything to the host before you left or just they email? Great video thanks for sharing I loved it, the whole video was real life, all your videos are , thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy
I love the braille. Made my day
Looks like you're "silly tired", Carolyn. Are you getting enough sleep?
Maybe, just relaxed, and enjoying the road, being silly. Fun to watch ....
yeah, i've had experiences at provincial parks in new brunswick, nova scotia that were the same. Expensive, loud and hard to sleep. then i found some that were more like county parks in nova scotia, far cheaper, more beautiful and so peaceful. makes the experiences all the more special.
We have experienced the same thing over and over and totally fed up with campgrounds as you! I didn't see that you were cranky, I saw it as telling it like it is!
A great video as always!.
I can see that there is a huge difference in boon-docking in the east than in the west. I hope the rest of your trip you find relaxing places to rest!
Hi 😊 there a.traveling.addict.agreed 🙂👍🎃🎃🎃😎❤️
I'm cranky too living poor near the beach in Santa Barbara you remind me of my otter half who passed away a few years back who wanted to buy an RV so I could drive her around the country but I was a writing blogger with an editor who wanted to keep my job for awhile so I could become somebody, I never did. Thank You for letter me watch your travels.
I would be cranky too I can't sleep with voices of any kind. I was a OTR truck driver and I got use to listening for people around my truck. Voices wake me up fast. Stay safe and enjoy your life
Being cranky once in awhile it is being authentic 😀 I would keep a little box of those orange foam ear plugs for emergency. They can be a little uncomfortable but the bliss of complete silence is great to fall asleep and, well me, after a few hour I take them off during my sleep 😅 and the noise outside has stopped. I wake up in the morning finding them in my bed. Thank you for showing us those pretty towns. 🙏🐾
I may be the odd one out, but, I enjoy the "complaining" portions. Ride on, Carolyn. You are a brave and honest soul.
Lol. 😊
Your video shows the reality of nomadic journey's!!
Video of small towns & backroads was enchanting.
Don't feel bad about that. i had a very similar experience lol
My husband and I were driving and there was a warning strip before the stop sign with bumps on it and I asked my hubby what that was and he told me it was a braille stop sign and I said" what a great idea" LOL
Sadie's the cutest....love her and u ,of course XOXO
Looks awesome!!
Enjoy listening to you.
Carolyn, I am not sure where you are right now, but you are welcome to stay with us in New Jersey.
Seriously Carolyn... even your rants are adorable. Remember... you are always welcome in our little woods in Southern NH.
PS : I hear you on the eggs. I typically only buy VITAL FARMS... Pasture Raised.
They cost more $$ but imho it's worth it.
Haha...ty Faith! Yeah I bought cage free farm raised when I still ate them too. It's tragic what they do to those poor corporate chickens
thank you for the tour. Charming town.
we all got some F 's to give so no offense taken lol
Just found out yesterday that my maternal great grandmother was born in Illinois! Thought she had been born in Denmark, as my maternal great grandfather was... But I learned they met here in the states! Our family farm is in Southern MN. Beautiful there... Outside the small town of Morgan. Love Morgan! Was great to see Illinois! Love and safe travels for you and Sadie💕💕💕
If my sleep gets messed with, I get really fugly. I need my sleep. No bullshit!!!! I understand completely 😁
Awesome video!
I go camping for serenity..many nights people don't make it possible. .they just invite themselves over..ugh
Carolyn I am in Northern NY. I have a driveway with electric. You are so welcome to stay with me. Love you
Go get em girl.....stay safe, and happy
We stay at a horse camp in Arkansas every Oct, where a lot of other people also camp during the same time each year. There aren’t hook-ups at this camp. A few years ago a lady camped next to us and left her generator running 24-7, because she had an electric only refrigerator. The extra bad thing about it was that it was sitting about 8-10’ from my bedroom window. I am a light sleeper, so it kept me awake most of the night. I nicely told her generators were supposed to be shut off at night. I have seen her at least 2 other years and when I have stopped to say hello, both times she has brought up the fact that I complained about her generator. 😏. This year, she was camped about 60’ from us, and she is still running her generator 24-7. At least it wasn’t sitting right next to us, so it didn’t bother me too much. This campground has some permanent campers and one of them has a hunting dog that is left tied up outdoors all night. This dog barks aaalll night long. I felt sorry for the people who were camped close to that barking dog.
You can boondocks at cabela’s (Bass Pro shop)
Just off route I-78 East & Route 61 north, they have water, and dog kennels
No sewer. RV’s have their own side of the parking lot.
It was great!
I really enjoy your travels with beautiful Sadie by your side. I know what as special care you give her to keep her healthy and safe. You may want to consider installing a dog seat harness to avoid an injury or worse in a sudden stop. She is precious.
I certainly can relate with that situation in camping. Rest Areas are not much better. I always look for large truck stops with back lots for noise free or reduced noises. I generally don't get a good nights sleep whenever I'm on the road. But big Petro stops generally have good food and some places to park.
And that's why I avoid campgrounds but sometimes you don't have a choice. I'm out west so we have more booondocking choices. I have tinnitus in one ear so I use a sound machine at bedtime that makes white noise and I turn it up. It blocks out all of the outside noise and I use it all the time. If there was a problem or emergency, Sadie would wake you up. Early in the summer at a remote campground in Utah someone had a dog that barked all day and night. I went to the host and he didn't want to do anything about it. My response was that if he didn't do something, myself and several otehrs were going to take care of it ourselves and then he'd have a much larger problem on his hands. He fixed the problem and those campers left. Sometimes you just have to be cranky and put your foot down.
You had every right to be cranky!
True marg.l.🙂👍👍😱💜
I can't wait until your cookbook is published
Braille for the driver lol! Yes we all have lapses like that 😂
Yes hard working people love to go camping and let Loose when they get away from the rat race, I’m one myself. But what’s great is there are many places to go for nomads that just don’t like people. Lol 😂 I say if you can’t beat them join their party and enjoy.😎
The Braille thing was hilarious.
Great video!
Thumbs up ,shivering bell, always glad to travel with you even if you are Grumpy cranky.
Thank you!
I've done the same thing, thinking it's braille on the steering wheel,,, LOL, crazy thoughts!
omgoodness you would have had a quieter and cheaper nights stay at a rest stop. Always go with your first instinct. loved your video and pure Ness. lol
I am with you girl! I live in Florida and we get snowbirds who sit on their porch right across the tiny bit of water behind us drinking and laugh and have music till 2am. It sounds like are right in my back yard or lanai. I miss my next door neighbor who recently moved, she would yell right from her lanai for them to shut up😂 I hope to van life or RV someday and I would want to find private spots!
Carolyn been a while since I commented. Just watched this video on my t.v. and I'm sorry for your experience back East. I definitely think that was rude of those campers and don't blame you! I don't know what the camp hosts deal was... maybe they were afraid of the party group or just didn't care?? I hope you have a better experience going forward. It is tough here and like you said no boondocking really. 😞This is why our dream is to travel mid -west/ west (more where you usually are..) when we start our journey!!! Please don't blame all of us, we aren't all like those dufuses. LOL Safe travels! And try to enjoy the beauty of the E. Coast! The ocean is beautiful too albeit much cooler now and the foliage of course can't be beat. ((Hugs)) to Sadie! 💙
It was funny Carolyn lol
Thanks for being vegan and showing why too. That's really cool.
We had a young family camped right beside us, they used our water connection for a time out corner for their 2 yr old! It was directly beside our bed. We woke up to screaming and yelling every morning. 😱😳 People just don't think!
Or worse than that... some simply don't even care. Whether they grasp karma or not though. .. karma is relentless.
😊😢 no parties no crowd have a great day a safe
Once I got cranky camping after a super loud huge family RV moved in with a loud, unnecessary generator and shone bright florescent lights into our site and tent and played awful, loud music too late at night with kids and adults yelling way too loud til 3am. We'd been hiking all day and were exhausted. The next day I heard yelling again from them as they were again climbing all over a fallen tree right in our clearly marked campsite. Apparently there was some really sticky sap all over it and it got all over their clothes. Or it could've been pancake syrup, IDK. Funny thing though, I slept a lot better the next night. 😂
Carolyn never apologize for being human🙂we all have bad days.
Hello Carolyn. The bumps on the Cruise Control are so you can feel which is which without taking your eyes off the road.
Yes. I figured that out😝
@@CarolynsRVLife I sure enjoy all of your videos. I wish I could travel like that.
Ha! I think we all get cranky...especially when numb nuts and lack of sleep are involved...introverts have less energy to deal with stoopid! Ranty or no, I still loved the video! better luck at the next camping spot! No Stoopids! Ha!
I can’t wait for your cook book everything you make looks so yummy!
I hope you can find a peace of land where you can settle down and rest in the near future
Be Cranky, its good for you. Bottling it up is much worse. Your smiles tell us all you really are doing good.
I understand. We've had the same thing Happen to us up in Canada at a campsite. People bringing sound equipment and having a mini concert. Luckily they piped down by 10pm which is quiet hour.
Roaming dogs is a problem too at times. You just never know what'll happen hey. Hope you got more sleep the next night.
Oof, I have been there, driving on a long trip and having a bad night due to jerks making noise. You have my sympathies. I did get a great laugh over the braille cruise control buttons, and the Amish microwave popcorn though! Too funny, thanks for that! I am planning to be at the NC meet-up, looking forward to meeting you in person (I won a one-on-one video call with you a couple of years ago) and Sadie, too! Hope things are good now, take care!
