In this video we move camp to Elephant Butte State Park. I find a nice spot right on the water. Great place to beat the heat!
Thank you for being here.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

Some folks like slots of trees then there's me I like trees ,but, since I live, (my home base, ) smack dab in the middle of a whole bunch of very tall trees , Give me wide open spaces when traveling in my little class C Ladybug,in N.Mexico. Thanks Brian & Kelly.Hobbs, you and I are about the same speed. and your very handsome! I sure like what the beach area has to offer. Great lake,mt. views ,sunrise/set , moon ,THE BEST night light. Thank you very much from OK.

Your videos always make me calm and appreciate the simple things in life. I’m starting to realize that simpler is better. Thank you for not bringing drama into these videos like so many RU-vidrs do, but you instead bring nature’s beauty to us in all its glory. Hobbs is one lucky dog to be so well cared for by both of you. Best wishes from Florida. 🌴👍

Your hitting all of my old haunts lately Brian. Spent too many days to count camping and fishing at The Butte while I was stationed at Ft, Bliss in El Paso. It is a beautiful lake with great facilities and nice people when I was there. Thanks for the trip to the lake. Stay Safe and Take Care! Please give Hobbs a treat!

Hey Bryan, you are the first channel I started watching years ago, today is my first day as a Nomad,( sold the house). I live in Albuquerque and spend time at the Butte, so it is cool that you are there. It seems that things have come full circle.👍 I recommend JACKS CREEK CAMPGROUND IN THE PECOS beautiful area. Good luck and safe travels 👍

@danrandall794 4 месяца назад

Another great spot. Amazing how cool lake water will keep you cool for a couple hours. When I was a kid and when it was hot we always went to the lake to cool off before sunset. No A.C. of course in the house. It was too hot upstairs so my Brother and I slept in our screened in porch most of the summer. Great memories. Great to see Miss Kelly and you guys enjoying life. I have many of those Ryobi tools including a small blower that I sometimes use to clean things up.

@AdventureVanMan 4 месяца назад

Very similar growing up with no A/C. My dad did install an above ground pool though. We'd be in there after dark some summer nights!😆

Hey Brian, you found one of my favorite stops when I am going from Boulder to Arizona. Always enjoyed my stays, very peaceful, something about water that just takes everything down a notch. Nice videography, as usual, love the sun and moon shots. Glad you guys enjoyed your stay, travel safe my friend.

@bertkelly7650 4 месяца назад

Yeah, I'm invested in Ryobi also. Bought a bundle that had a drill, sawzaw, circular saw and flash light. Then I bought a chain saw, weed whacker, hedge trimmer and blower. Need to up grade to more amp hour batteries. Thanks for your relaxing video!

@alchristensen8121 4 месяца назад

The last time I was a Elephant Butte it happened to be July 4th weekend and there were hundreds of rigs set up by the water. All day the next day a half dozen 6x6 military trucks - Duce-and-a-halves and 5-tons - made money pulling RVs out of the sand and up the hill. I take it you guys didn't have that problem. One of my favorite things at NM state parks is the showers. No coins or tokens needed, just keep pushing the button every couple of minutes.

@thizizliz 4 месяца назад

What a lovely spot - and a great view too. Seems like a bargain for the price. Oh golly, I need to dig down into the freezer - I think we have a pork loin somewhere. We really like it because it's tender and moist but lean as well as flavorful. Good idea. Hobbs has really taken to the camp life, hasn't he? It has to be good for him to move outdoors and get more active.

If you wanted some shade you could have camped at Percha Dam, Caballo Lake or go West to the Gila Wilderness. There Bear Lake, Sapillio Canyon, Bill Evans, Lake Robert's and Snow Lake. Most are free camping. 👍 👍
