SAFETY ISSUE? Propane: Just want to point out you shouldn't lay your propane tank on its side. Listened to an RV tech in Texas share the explosive possibilities. Please consider securing straight up with bungees. Love your channel and looking forward to seeing Tuttle Creek soon! So beautiful there! Safe travels!
We added an airfryer, and 3 . 'quart instapot to our camper appliances. They have lessened the cooking load by 75 percent. I cook my bacon and toast and biscuit in the airfryer. Plus, chicken and pretty much all my meats except steak in there. The instapot I use if I'm tired from the day and too tired to cook. Just dump all the ingredients in, and it's does all the rest.
You are going to absolutely love your air fryer. It's versatile. fast, doesn't heat your trailer, a space saver. I bet that it makes regular appearances in future videos.
I love the rd drives with those magnificent views! Miss traveling west through the mountains. Thank you Catherine once again for such a beautiful and refreshing video! Santana😎
My daughter gave me an air fryer and I'm loving it. Takes a little time to figure out cooking times but they are great for single person meals. It's been too many years since I've been up 395 but the Eastern Sierra are truly spectacular! Thanks for sharing!
I used to bicycle and camp in Ohio. The State Park had Class A and Class B camping (10 and 4 bucks a night). I referred to them as Class and Classless. The B camp was loud with radios , motorcycles, and just plan noise.
My dad grew up in Lone Pine but moved to SoCal to raise a family. He loved that little town so much he bought a relative's home when the time came and it became his sanctuary. He is now resting in the Lone Pine Cemetery at the north end of town.
@@briang70 I love this story. I wonder want it feels like out there that makes some people fall in love with it. That you for sharing...lost my Dad to Covid, January, 2021 💔
I camped at Tuttle for years, and the general area for decades. In all of those years the campground was never over half occupied, usually much less. Over the past few years though things have changed dramatically. Social media has completely ruined the area. My last trip to Tuttle Creek a couple of years ago, it was completely full, and not with respectful folks, but a bunch of rowdy noisy city people. The crowds at Alabama Hills in their Sprinter vans and over-equipped overland Jeeps (that never see real off-roading) was heartbreaking. When I lived in Bishop in the 70s I would visit those hills often and usually encountered zero to two or three other people, max. I love Catherine's videos, not blaming her. Much of the problems started with Instagram and FB posts going viral, which attracted a mass of people with a different mindset than previous generations of campers. Now many areas in the west that were peaceful, even sacred, are ruined forever. The worst part, aside from the loss of solitude is the amount of scattered litter, and even graffiti and other vandalism. 😢
Hi Cat! We’ve camped at Tuttle Creek. We prefer less crowds too. I just returned from Fallen Leaf campground in South Lake Tahoe and it wasn’t busy at all! It was a girls trip and we were there during the week. Hosts said the campground was sold out over the weekend. We were gone by the weekend backpacking in the Desolation Wilderness. Was AMAZING! Lake Aloha is out of this world beautiful. I can’t wait for your Yosemite video. My coworkers (fellow nurses) and I are planning a backpacking trip there for our annul trip. Have fun and stay warm :)
Thank you bringing me - in my mind - back to the Rocky Mountain. It remains so incredibly beautiful. Enjoy your entire trip and stay safe Catherine. Big Hug
Catherine, I was hiking in Rock Creek in early August, the 9th or 10th, and I think I saw you on the trail, I am from Louisiana, but lived in Bishop and in Lone Pine, and I loved that area. love all your videos, have fun, Jerry
Great video, Catherine. My brother and my sister-in-law stored their fifth wheeler at McGee Creek RV Park from April to October. We camped there for five days the moved it down to San Bernardino for the winter storage. We visited Mammoth mountain area to see the fall colors in the alpine lakes of Inyo National Forest, June Lake Loop and fished for trout at Rock Creek Lake. It was absolutely gorgeous up there.
This area is certainly one of my favorites. I summitted Mt Whitney for the first time September 23rd 2018, I go back every year. I think I will visit after Thanksgiving ❤
Happy Sunday Cat! I was a little nervous when I saw how high your camper was jacked to get it level at that sloped campsite. I could just see you rolling down hill in the middle of the night. Funny, not funny, lol. Might be a good idea to carry some wheel chokes for situations like that. I have a similar Ninja air fryer and use it all the time! So easy to use, and healthier than oil frying. That time-lapse star trail shot was one of your best yet! We were just up at June Lake for a few days last week. Might have passed you on the road. I saw that Lone Pine was getting ready for their annual Film Festival. Might have been why the campground was crowded? So that was you at Walmart? Haha!
It was nice to see that you are back in the Eastern Sierra. Ever since discovering Ansel Adam's Mt. Whitney photograph as a teenager. I have been drawn to the Easter Sierra. I've been to Lone Pine several times with my son backpacking there and near Lake Tahoe in the Emigrant Gap area of the Sierras, as well as Yosemite. Looking forward to your Yosemite trip video.
Wow Cat what a stunning time lapse. What a great computer or phone wallpaper that would be. 👍🏻👍🏻. Thanks so much for taking us along on this one. Stunning photography all the way around! BTW I have the same air fryer and love it. Season up some chicken strips with some Mexican spices and air fry them for your fajitas and tacos. Mmm good! Have a great week and safe travels! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can't wait to see where you backpack in Yosemite. My first backpacking trip was over 30 years ago in Yosemite, and it continues to be one of my favorite places for a backpacking trip. Enjoy!
... Nice to see you add an air fryer in the trailer ,, not having an oven limits some great meals on the road ... I've been using one for about a year now (at home) ,, and seldom use the oven now ,, the air fryer can do so much .... Lots of video's out there on various meals and recipes ... I love "Mandy in the Making" ,, where she offers viewers recipes as well ,, and her husband and son are not only the taste testers (victims ??) ,,but also the first line critics .... easy to use and easy to clean up .. .. Always love the scenery and seeing that you are doing well ... Stay Safe ... ... I use an air fryer also in my small RV even though I have an oven , just got familiar with some recipes I like ... also Use a countertop ice maker when parked for a couple of days ,, freezer space is small and having enough ice is always needed more ,, especially in summer ...
Hi Catherine, I have wanted to comment here so many times, but am finally here…I love your content and watching your life in the Springdale! I have one as well as travel solo all summer and on vacations throughout the year. I am a teacher so can’t go full time yet but will when I retire. I know you are thinking of a winter adventure…. I go to Tucson area, many beautiful desert places like Piccacho Peak, Organ Pipe Cactus NM, Lost Dutchman SP, and the entire Parker strip/Lake Havasu area is amazing in the winter. Catalina State Park would delight you and the trails are amazing. You could backpack right from your trailer!
Yosemite is MY Favorite place on Earth,,, the Cables that allow traffic to the top of "Half Dome" come down on Labor Day,,, and stay DOWN till Late May ,,, early June,,,, The whole Yosemite National Park is Unforgettable ,,, Fire Fall is a Special sight to see over the Falls into the Valley,,,,
So happy to see you back out in you element, camping and adventuring 😊 Also great to see your subscriber count rising. Creeping up on that century mark, GREAT WORK , CAT!😊
My experience this fall camping out west in late Sept-Oct was that most camp spots were still crowded or full. Also some BML spots were charging and the only way to pay was through Reserve America and there service charge was $8.00. Some national forest camp spots were closed for the season but allowing "dry camping".
Thanks for sharing and hope the backpack trip was good - we did a backpack trip years ago from Tuolumne to Half Dome and down to the valley (with a car shuttle) and was beautiful. Hope the weather is good. I remember deer up in Tuolumne Meadows nearly the size of moose! Cheers and enjoy!
My Sunday morning cup of coffee with beautiful Catherine. 😊 I know no better way to start my morning watching this wonderful vibrant entertaining woman. 🤗
Glad to see you back with your rolling home. Although I enjoy your backpacking videos I relate better to your travel with your trailer videos. We are physically unable to do many of the hikes you do at our age now, but enjoy the fantastic scenery you show. The videos with your trailer are more in our ability range with travel now. Thanks again for all the beautiful places you take us to.
We just stayed there a couple weeks ago on our last night of our 10,600ish mile Alaskan trip. We took Tuttle Creek road which was magical but not good for long rv setups. It was our first time but won't be our last. Our favorite part was the view of Owens Dry(wet) Lake.
Pretty ride into town, beautiful scenery Catherine. It’s no wonder it’s so popular there. Do the warm weather for winter, so much easier on everything and yourself. Stay safe out there.👍
So familiar with that area. 42 years ago that where we spent our honeymoon. 2 person tent with 3 dogs add a rain storm. Which allowed us to visit the Lone Pine Laundromat the next morning. Again thank you for the wonderful beauty and memories you give to us.❤
I like these kinds of videos too and seeing camp life. I am sure going to look forward to the Yosemite trip. That is one place I have never been to either and it looks amazing from pictures I have seen of it. Safe travels!
You always inspire me so much. Camped with my 2 pups and had fires in chilly Wisconsin this weekend. Nothing like these vistas but I love getting out when ever I can. You are so lucky. Fall camping is the best 🍂🍁🧡😊
Catherine, you are such a delight to watch. I’m glad that you are doing great. I thought of you and friend Joey backpacking in Banff just this summer, when I heard about the recent fatal Grizzly attacks right there! A couple of experienced backpackers and their sweet dog :-( Ohh my goodness. Terribly sad. Continue being careful out there my dear :-)
Catherine: I have followed your exploits for a long time. Am always fascinated with your Nature Videography. I will use one of your favorite words to explain. STUNNING!
Hi Catherine - Just a heads up on Alabama Hills - I think they lost about 60% of their camping sites last year when they made it a National Scenic Area. I was there quite a few times last year and there were barely any open places to camp compared to the year before. I think they also mentioned somewhere that they will start charging fees soon. I guess it's a net positive since they will be preserving the area a bit more, but such a bummer that it's no longer just a BLM camping spot where you could almost always pull in for the night.
I'm a sucker for fall aspen trees turning colors. Love your choice of words, hand me the "dinner apparatus" honey so I can fry some eggs.. LOL Also love the choice of music.
I came through there the week of October first and am so glad I didn’t take the detour to Alabama hills with my rv. Also, never saw the top of any mountain. Socked in the whole time, a little snow, but gorgeous.
as you roll thru that "hood of the Eastern Sierra " check out "Devils Postpile" it is quite the Sight to see,,, I think it was North of Bishop... but South of Mammoth
Mosquitoes avoid white. I wear white nylon shirts when out in bug country as well! (when I am not avoiding heavy equipment on a project, of course then I wear orange)
Hi Catherine.....Im a fan of your chanel, being from the Sonora ca area, I was just in Lone pine and that camp ground a week ago! I drove back home through the Sonora pass on Hwy 108. The views there are so beautiful that it rivals Yosemite park!
Yeah, air fryers have a learning curve, and now 18 months later I'm in the cult. LOVE it. Best of all are heating leftovers to a crispiness that wasn't there the day before. Long live the AF!
Beautiful mountains right there. You got an air fryer just like mine. I can tell you fries, burgers, hot dogs, and steaks turn out real good. Also wings. Take care and stay safe and warm.
I think we left the eastern Sierras right when you guys were up there. It was recently and there was a storm coming that evening scheduled to bring snow. The fall colors were starting to come in full. Thank you to your sister for sharing her photo.
Ha, I know right where you are, was there a few weeks ago. That detour is awesome though a bit scary with oncoming traffic. Stunning, though we were apparently traveling 395 with the remnants of Burning Man all trying to get home. Camper next to us decided that the event wasn’t over and raved ALL NiGHT. Ag. I will be back though. Realized it’s only a 5 hour drive for me to come and explore and explore some more.
Some individuals don’t realize that reg. gas is 5.50 to 6 something a gallon in Cali. I just missed you, I was camping in the snow at twin lakes, Mammoth Ca. Melted fast. Safe travels
Thank you for the beautiful video and the stunning scenery on the eastern side of the Sierras is amazing during the fall. I’ve driven up Highway 395 from Ridgecrest to Reno many times but have never been able to stop and camp along the way. The Sierras are one of my favorite mountain ranges and hope that many people will have the opportunity to drive up the eastern slope and appreciate the beautiful creation that is there for us. And your supper reminded me of the vibrant fall colors! 😁
I appreciate your honesty regarding camp and cooking. Many you tubers would never do that. Your content is perfect, don't ever change❤

Where are the smores? You can’t have a fire without smores. LOL
Cold camps are fine, but a fire does add ambience! 😎
The time lapse of the stars was beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

Reminds me of all the old cowboy movies I've watched that were filmed in that area. What an absolutely beautiful part of the country.
WOW. 😮 What a scenic route to go to town! Beats the city traffic & noise. Love the video, Cat. 🙋🏼♀️👍🏻❤️
Your filming gets more beautiful each time! And beautiful drive with all those boulders.
You are going to absolutely love your air fryer. It's versatile. fast, doesn't heat your trailer, a space saver. I bet that it makes regular appearances in future videos.
Eastern sierras are a gem, as well as Catherine's channel, I hope to be in SoCAl coast for most of winter, God bless your excursions.
I love the rd drives with those magnificent views! Miss traveling west through the mountains. Thank you Catherine once again for such a beautiful and refreshing video! Santana😎
That was wild how the sun set perfectly right in that little notch.
My daughter gave me an air fryer and I'm loving it. Takes a little time to figure out cooking times but they are great for single person meals. It's been too many years since I've been up 395 but the Eastern Sierra are truly spectacular! Thanks for sharing!
The air fryer has pretty well replaced our gas stove and outside BBQ in our motorhome. Breakfast , lunch , and supper in a jiffy.
Luscious videography, and really cool star shot. I wish Fall lasted forever. Nice looking dinner but it needed hunks of garlic!
I don't like to listen to music when I'm out enjoying my time on nature. I think it's rude of people to play it loud enough for others to hear it.
I 100% agree! Silence is golden!
I used to bicycle and camp in Ohio. The State Park had Class A and Class B camping (10 and 4 bucks a night). I referred to them as Class and Classless. The B camp was loud with radios , motorcycles, and just plan noise.
Agreed Bonnie.
Thanks Catherine for letting us hang out with you! See you on the next one, can't wait.
My Father, loved Lone Pine. He spent much of his free time in that area. Now I know why. Thank you Catherine. 💛
My dad grew up in Lone Pine but moved to SoCal to raise a family. He loved that little town so much he bought a relative's home when the time came and it became his sanctuary. He is now resting in the Lone Pine Cemetery at the north end of town.

Watching your video, you wouldn't know it was super busy in the campground! You do a great job of portraying peacefulness!! 😊
I just absolutely love your truck and travel trailer setup their Catherine. Thank you so much for sharing another great video with us..👍😘❤💯😊✌

That guitar music is beautiful i love the beginning of the song just single notes
Oh man we were there in December and just loved it. Lone Pine is such a sweet little town.
Wow Cat what a stunning time lapse. What a great computer or phone wallpaper that would be. 👍🏻👍🏻. Thanks so much for taking us along on this one. Stunning photography all the way around!

Thank you Brad! Yum! I’ll have to try those ideas. Right up my alley.
Your trailer is so cozy.
I can't wait to see where you backpack in Yosemite. My first backpacking trip was over 30 years ago in Yosemite, and it continues to be one of my favorite places for a backpacking trip. Enjoy!
What a stunning location, I have explored the Western range but you have shown me I need to visit the Eastern range. Another great video!
The Eastern range is spectacular
Go there when Tioga Pass 120 is open, to save you 3+ hours of extra driving.

Awesome star trails, Catherine. Beautiful! ✨✨
How do you ensure nobody steals your trailer etc when you’re in town? Thanks for the enjoyable videos.
You have given us a majestic video!
Thanks a bunch.
So happy to see you back out in you element, camping and adventuring 😊 Also great to see your subscriber count rising. Creeping up on that century mark, GREAT WORK , CAT!😊
Thank you so much Ken! Hope all is great!
Pics of stars was awesome.

i just had that same sandwich, wheat bread and all. With Mustard tho lol
That is such a beautiful area. We were there once passing through on our way to Yosemite. I loved imagining the old westerns being filmed there!

This was a nice non-strenuous , calm , relaxing video. The time lapse of the night sky was beautiful , but too short , imo. Thanks Cat.
Maybe you could visit some other towns during the winter.. Doing some sightseeing, telling about the history and visit musea.
I LOVED the footage of you driving down the road it felt like I was there!!!! Also the stars in the sky! Greetings from Florida😊
Such Beautiful Scenery in those Eastern Sierra's!! Love your video's!!
So familiar with that area. 42 years ago that where we spent our honeymoon. 2 person tent with 3 dogs add a rain storm. Which allowed us to visit the Lone Pine Laundromat the next morning. Again thank you for the wonderful beauty and memories you give to us.❤

and even more snow in part of the Inyos, as we saw coming across from Tonopah
Catherine, you are such a delight to watch. I’m glad that you are doing great. I thought of you and friend Joey backpacking in Banff just this summer, when I heard about the recent fatal Grizzly attacks right there! A couple of experienced backpackers and their sweet dog :-( Ohh my goodness. Terribly sad. Continue being careful out there my dear :-)
Yes a husband, wife and their dog!! So tragic...
My Whitney sunrises are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I miss driving up 395. It's been 3 years since the last time. So maybe this coming spring will be a good time to go.
Catherine: I have followed your exploits for a long time. Am always fascinated with your Nature Videography. I will use one of your favorite words to explain. STUNNING!
coincidently, you are in the exact same spot we were in last Spring. The "Hills" were open & pretty full and surprisingly not too bad at Tuttle.
Hi Catherine - Just a heads up on Alabama Hills - I think they lost about 60% of their camping sites last year when they made it a National Scenic Area. I was there quite a few times last year and there were barely any open places to camp compared to the year before. I think they also mentioned somewhere that they will start charging fees soon. I guess it's a net positive since they will be preserving the area a bit more, but such a bummer that it's no longer just a BLM camping spot where you could almost always pull in for the night.
Plus it's been getting trashed so they are cracking down on dispersed camping
Seems all parks across the nation are charging more fees. Also many are making them reservable only. Credit card companies do well off this.
We were just there and you're right. Not many places to camp anymore.
New to your channel, you seem chilled out and relaxed, the videography and scenery is superb. Very well done, thank you.
I'm a sucker for fall aspen trees turning colors. Love your choice of words, hand me the "dinner apparatus" honey so I can fry some eggs.. LOL Also love the choice of music.
I came through there the week of October first and am so glad I didn’t take the detour to Alabama hills with my rv. Also, never saw the top of any mountain. Socked in the whole time, a little snow, but gorgeous.
The Eastern Sierra is the one thing that may keep me living in CA after retirement.
as you roll thru that "hood of the Eastern Sierra " check out "Devils Postpile" it is quite the Sight to see,,, I think it was North of Bishop... but South of Mammoth
Camping and wearing a white shirt……..you’re a brave woman, Catherine! 😊
Mosquitoes avoid white. I wear white nylon shirts when out in bug country as well! (when I am not avoiding heavy equipment on a project, of course then I wear orange)
You must be thrilled how your photos have turned out.
Always you bring us the most spectacular place thank you
it might have been busy, but it sure looked like a good spot to park a trailer for a few days... as always safe travels.
Hi Catherine.....Im a fan of your chanel, being from the Sonora ca area, I was just in Lone pine and that camp ground a week ago!
I drove back home through the Sonora pass on Hwy 108. The views there are so beautiful that it rivals Yosemite park!
I love the Eastern Sierras. I missed going this year because I did a cross country trip. Hoping I get up there next year.
Yeah, air fryers have a learning curve, and now 18 months later I'm in the cult. LOVE it. Best of all are heating leftovers to a crispiness that wasn't there the day before. Long live the AF!
One of my favorite camp areas and LOVE ❤ The Alabama Hills Cafe in Lone Pine 🌲 Yummy 😋

Some individuals don’t realize that reg. gas is 5.50 to 6 something a gallon in Cali. I just missed you, I was camping in the snow at twin lakes, Mammoth Ca. Melted fast. Safe travels
Oh my goodness..... gas here in Wyomijng is $3.64 !
I love the videos from my backyard!! Highway 395!! Eastern Sierra! ❤
My favorite part of the world! We are getting ready to go up there for a two week stay ❤
Thank You for the Good for the Nerves Video. Well Done!!🙏👍
I love the Lone Pine/Alabama Hills area and your video really does it justice. Can’t believe the amount of green foliage for this time of year.
I remember your first solo overnight camp at Alabama hills, I have stayed there a bunch, but they are a permit system now.
Thank you for the beautiful video and the stunning scenery on the eastern side of the Sierras is amazing during the fall. I’ve driven up Highway 395 from Ridgecrest to Reno many times but have never been able to stop and camp along the way. The Sierras are one of my favorite mountain ranges and hope that many people will have the opportunity to drive up the eastern slope and appreciate the beautiful creation that is there for us.
And your supper reminded me of the vibrant fall colors! 😁
Love your scenic videos!….THE Best!
