❄Snowstorm: BEFORE and AFTER in Moab Utah + FREE Camping PART 1 | Newstates in the States

- Moab, Utah does not disappoint! Join us for a whirlwind tour through Arches National Park & Canyonlands before all of Moab is under a Winter Storm Warning! And we were not prepared for what happened next! 🥶
This week we found free camping near Moab on BLM land just south of downtown and discovered that just four miles away we could see two arches not inside the parks. We loaded up into our trusty Honda CR-V with Scout and set off on an adventure to see Picture Frame Arch.
The next day on a brief driving tour of Arches, we visit Balanced Rock and the Windows section of the park. Next up, is Island in the Sky, the upper section of Canyonlands National Park which is divided into three parts.
Then, hilarity ensues when rain turns to snow and we find ourselves boondocking in the desert in single digit temperatures! What could possibly go wrong when RV Camping in a Winter Storm? 🤣

HA! loved your info on colorado, made a comment, and then your trip to moab. you have a new sub. excellent video. i enjoyed that. thank you, gonna watch the frozen video next.
I have been watching your channel for awhile and really enjoy your style of vlog. Keep up the good work. Safe travels. love the mix of comedy and drama that you always have in your videos. lol
Hi Richard!! Your comment made our day, thank you so much! We always try to keep it entertaining and real. So glad you enjoy our style!! 😄 -Katelyn
About 10 years ago when digital photo albums were becoming more and more popular, I made three USA holiday albums ( page size 30cmx30) for a couple who spent there annual holidays discovering America. During this video I was propelled back in time and now experienced the canyons in a more intense way. It ws like I had been there. Same arches, same canyon shots. Amazing. I spread one photo over the two pages- and wow, it looked amazing. Now I've seen this video, I am once again over awed at the intense and immense beauty of this part of our planet. ( ps a food message: I have a Mexican corn soup recipe on my channel you my like Howard 😌). Thanks again for making my Monday morning such a pleasant experience. 🙏 👍 🎥 ❤️ 🌷 🙋♀️
Happy Monday Oma!! Oh how cool, so glad we were able to help you recreate those images with our video! We'll have even more from Arches next week. It really is incredibly beautiful! Howard is excited about that recipe, we'll check it out. Definitely sounds perfect for these chilly evenings we've been having! 🤗❤ Katelynn
Terrific video! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. So much fun.
Enjoyed your Videos, Keep'em coming Happy Holidays!
Thanks, and happy holidays to you, too! ❤️
I hope you made it to Dead Horse state park, it's Awesome, thanks for sharing you're video, we were there July 2020 and can't wait to go again.
Beautiful, love the penguins! Love how much information you guys provide. Thanks!
We're so glad you're enjoying our episodes and are along for the journey! It means a lot to hear compliments like yours. ❤️
Great video. First-time watcher.
I live in Central Utah. I love videos like this. I was just out shoveling my driveway in shorts and a hoodie. Lol.
Hey Stout! Thanks so much ☺️ haha good ol' Utah weather! 👏
@@NewstateNomads in Utah, if you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes or drive 10 miles. Lol.
Enjoyed the video. Don't think I would have stayed for the storm though....too cold for this southern girl! Stay safe!
Haha, yeah it was definitely a little too cold for our liking! 😄 Made for quite the adventure, that's for sure!
Had a little chill sympathy for you there, but what I would give to be snowed in for a night or two in our trailer! Can't wait to get to this area - nice job sharing what you saw and expierenced!
It was definitely an experience! I was so excited to see some snow, but the single degree temps I could have done without hahaha. It's such a beautiful area though, we're so glad we finally got to see it! -Katelyn
First time watcher here! Thanks for sharing your travels! We are in Rochester, NY, and have not camped in the snow yet! I'll tune in next week.
Rigney Family
Craig and family, so glad you found us! I feel like there's camping in the snow and camping in VERY cold weather. We prefer the former. 😂 Thanks for watching, and so glad you're along for the journey!
Loved this video!! The arches were so beautiful,it’s hard to find the words to describe them,I kept going back in the video,to look at them. The weather looks unbelievable there,but you got snow...yah!! We have snow here,so I was happy for you,haha.-9 here tonight,just a little cool,compared to what’s coming. Keep warm,and stay safe!!
The arches are incredible! We'll have even more of them next week 😁 whew... -9?! Yikes! 🥶🧊 Stay warm!!! ♥️-Katelyn
Katelyn, I can't believe you got that close to the edge!! 😬😬😬
And brrrr, at least you know Scout won't make a run for it in the snow! 😉🥶
Gorgeous place. Loved your video as always! We are fans of the dark sky designated areas as well. We got to experience that in Grand Canyon this summer. Breathtaking.
When were you there?! We were there in late July! It's beautiful!
@@NewstateNomads We were there in September. It was amazing. We stayed at the El Tovar right on the South Rim.
@@shannonalward217 that's a great location. You can walk right out into that beautiful scenery! What were the temps like in September?
@@NewstateNomads The temps were great. Lower 80s during the day and then a little chillier at night. It was fabulous.
Love this video on Moab very good information. Looked like nice weather then it turned cold and snowy. The Rick form looked beautiful. Did scout have fun when you were trying to hike? It was cute. Can’t wait until next week.
Thanks so much Sherri! Part 2 is live now :) Hope you enjoy! -Katelyn
Amazing scenery as always :) Adding this to my list..
So incredibly beautiful, definitely a good one to put towards the top of the list 😉 -Katelyn
Wow it looks so cold 🥶 and it fun 🤩 thanks guys 🥂
VERY cold, Lynn! 😆🥶 That was the coldest we have ever been in the RV. The forecast wasn't exactly accurate about how cold it was going to get 🤭 we won't be doing that again anytime soon! But yes, definitely beautiful!!! Wait til next week 😉 -Katelyn
OK, that was fun.
Just wait til next week 😂
Wonderful, fun video and music. Hope to get back to the Southwest next year. My View is presently in storage here in Maine and coincidentally I tow a Subaru Outback. Hope to see you on the road.
We would love to meet up someday, Rob! Safe travels to you, and so glad you're along for the journey. 👍 -Howard
Wow that temp dropped quick. Brrrr 🥶. I’ll assume a water line froze but I’ll tune in next week to see how the hair dryer saved the day. Apparently it’s not a 4 season camper. ☹️ stay warm 👍🏼
Yep, dropped over 60 degrees in one day! I would still very much call it a 4 season (freshwater tank & piping are inside, tank heaters on grey and black tanks, recirculating hot water system) BUT there is a weakness when it get VERY cold and stays in the single digits. You'll probably laugh when you see the resolution, and it's not the hairdryer. That's the only clue I'm giving out! 🤔😂 -Howard
Beautiful. Hugs from Oklahoma
Thank you Gwen!! ❤
30 degrees was enought for us in our View but we did stay warm.
It actually stayed pretty warm inside! Eric, I'm sure this won't be a surprise to you, but even with all the piping and fresh water tank inside, there is a vulnerable spot in VERY cold weather with the 24D. 😂 Don't spoil the surprise for everyone else! 🤫
Leaning over that Crevasse stressed me out Katelyn
I was very careful! Haha.... not a fan of heights! 🙋😂 -Katelyn
Bet you’re missing Mexico about now! Hope your tanks were okay! Can’t wait to see Scout in the snow next week!
Definitely missing more than the weather in Mexico! 🍽️🏖️⛰️ Scout still has mixed feeling on the snow I think. 😂
We camped out in that neck of the woods in a tipi on New Years eve. It was -2F.
Whew! That is way too cold for us!! How was that!?
@@NewstateNomads we had to get up in the middle of the night and get the dogs out of our vehicle and put them in the sleeping bags. We weren't sure they could survive the night in the vehicle. We have a tipi with a wood stove. We don't use the stove during the night but we light it before going to bed and then light it again in the morning. We didn't really leave the tipi until about 10 AM though. The stove keeps it toasty inside though.
I'd love to get to Moab. On the bucket list but maybe not when it gets so cold though LOL!
What's wild is that it was in the 70s the day before! 😆That was definitely better exploring weather. Hope you can visit one day, it's breathtaking! Thanks for watching 😊 -Katelyn
Great video.😊 Loved the park and oh yeah, those are definitely 2 ships.....(cough, cough, lol) Two ships passing in the night....❤ I was wondering about your tanks when I heard the word...cold. When I saw the ice on the windows, I said out loud, "Oh, boy, I hope their tanks are heated." Did ya'll end up waiting in line at Milts for your cheeseburgers? LQQKS, like a great place. How do you keep from slipping on your RV steps and bustin your keesters? Enquiring minds need to know these things.....❤😊❤ Thank you for a delightful video. I'm starving a cold and feeding a fever right now, so 15 minutes watching you guys was a reprieve from my misery.....lol.🤣🤣😂😂😊😊❤❤❤
Oh yes, the food at milt's was SO good, I definitely got my cheeseburger. We ended up running into some other full-time RVers there and ate so quickly we didn't get any shots of our food 🤭😆 we go VERY slowly on the steps but there have been a few close calls for sure lol so glad you enjoyed this week's video! The drama and beauty continue next week 😁♥️ -Katelyn
Also, hope you feel better ASAP!!! You poor thing, take care!! ♥️♥️♥️
@@NewstateNomads , Thank you Katelyn. I was tested for Covid, I was so thrilled it was negative. Just a double ear and sinus infection. Ten days of Augmentin 875mg 1 two times a day will do the trick. Plus taking my Florajen Probiotic. Ya gotta put the good stuff back in that the antibiotic kills. I take my probiotic at lunch. The antibiotic will kill it too if taken close together. Stay well!! ❤❤
Did you guys make it to looking glass? Also my sister lives 25 minutes south of Moab near Wilson Arch. If you want to meet someone cool for coffee let me know I put you guys in touch with her. I was just there three weeks ago and did that whole area. Took over 1000 pics. lol......also when in Moab go grab the best coffee ever at Moab Garage Company. Their pastries and breakfasts are amazing as well and so is the staff. If you go say hi to Parker from Marco from Canada:)). great place enjoy your travels!!!
Hey Marco! We didn't make it there on this trip, but we'd love to visit again (maybe when it's a little warmer). Thanks for the tip of the coffee shop, definitely will add that to our list. We drove by and I remember seeing it but we didn't actually stop. Next time we're in town it'd be so cool to meet your sister! What a beautiful place for her to live! -Katelyn
@@NewstateNomads Awesome. Stay safe you two and enjoy the travels.
You could use a big backpack for Scout!
Haha! That's not a bad idea 😂
You mentioned dark parks. Every been to the one in the northern Michigan? It is awesome!
We haven't! What's the name of it? Thanks as always for watching, Ed! -Howard
@@NewstateNomads
Headlands International Dark Sky Park
Was going to ask if you had heated tanks & how did you do in 9 deg weather. Then I seen a hair.... guess I'll have to wait to see week ???
We do have heated tanks haha buttttt we discovered a weak point. Next week's a good one! 😆❄
Great video. I’m planning to go this Wednesday 12/9. How much Snow is there right now?
How exciting, you will love it! So much to see and do. We aren't sure... this was filmed at the end of October. Let us know what you find!! -Katelyn
How have you been liking your Navion?
Christine, we absolutely love it. Two years in, and it is still such an incredible home on wheels for exploring! 👍 -Howard
What month were you there? Thanks
Hi Doc! We were there in early October of last year. Thanks for watching! -Katelyn
@@NewstateNomads we plan to be there this October. Thank you.
Those Who are Tired of Rocks are Tired of Life.
Don’t leave me hanging! What happened? 😳
Haha...it's a 'chilling' cliff hanger 😆🥶🧊 but spoiler alert... Everything was frozen! -Katelyn
