Just the sound of that water is relaxing. I just chilled....thank you again...

Upstate New York is so beautiful. We lived outside Fort Drum for 4 years and every season is a feast for the eyes. Thank you for sharing your adventurous life and all the sights.

@virginiaschott4482 Год назад

Your one of the few who show off NY and the east coast. Thanks for that. I'm a transplant to NY and I think it's one of the most beautiful places to live, if you like Trees and green. I"m lucky to be on the Delaware river and live in the Hudson valley, Two rivers, tons of history, hiking, glacier lakes, farm land, apples maple syrup. I walk out my front door and I see the Pocono and Catskill mountains. Oh and only 3hrs to the Jersey Shore.

Thanks for that "Know your Parasites, Deer ticks, Dog ticks and Lunatic" billboard! Wholehearted laugh!!..Can't say it any better since intelligence and careful analysis is beyond what the subject deserves.. We have a government so broken/corrupt and so vulnerable to parasites and the likes of that tick.

Hello Melissa and I agree with everything you said. I have been a Patreon for about a year and a half and while I don't full time van life, I have learned so much from you Carolyn. I do have to tell you that while I enjoy you, my heart belongs to Sadie. I hope you got ahold of your mom,.

We camp in the RV all the time in the Adirondacks and have NEVER been able to get a cell signal. Once you cross the Blue Line into the Adirondacks, there is just no signal at all. It doesn't matter what coverage you have.

@WhiteTulip22 Год назад

so are these forest service roads? We tow a trailer and we have to be careful because we don't know if we can turn around. you're so confident about all your dirt roads, how do you know you could camp or turn around? you probably addressed these questions before but I missed. We just want to go on a longer adventure when my husband retires...but, we also like glamping and full hookups. however, the privacy of these locations you find is enticing.

@islandwitt1 Год назад

👍🏻 I mounted my starlink base on the roof, attached to my solar rack, near my roof hatch. I take the ‘scanner’ (?) bit off when I travel, and just pop it back up when I park for a while. So far the base is fine, and mere inches taller than panel it’s attached to, so as I am cautious about panel it’s all okay up top. Didn’t realize it needed a north facing aspect 🤷🏼‍♀️😖😄, just looked at it and sure enough it’s pointing due north 🤣👍🏻

@candacecook9510 Год назад

I had a place by lake Pleasant right by Speculator in the Adirondack but could never get any reception because it was all woods except when you went down to beach on the lake. Loved getting away from Albany area. To peace & quiet. Just wasn't crazy about the bears coming around.

@kathy7531 Год назад

I agree, it even happens in campgrounds. People have an awesome spot next to us and they never stay here. They have 3 picnics a season. It’s ridiculous!!!

@laurieclark2456 Год назад

I used to hang up there when a young teen. For years. Loved the area. Friends old Hotel turned into a Cottage. Near water many good memories. There were ten bedrooms up stairs. So just go out fishing and eat at a judge table then having some laughed and up to bed I know that area.

@cbryce9243 Год назад

Know your parasites! That was the best! Oh my Dog, she's so happy. When you asked her what's the matter, her ears were back, she looked like she was happy just standing there listening to the river. Sleeping with the roar of the river....niiiice! For the price of StarLink...you know the rest. Oh but the roar of the river, the shade of the beautiful trees. I cannot Wait! to be done with the basics of my van.

@emmiep9459 Год назад

Re: hogging spots: I used to live in and around Las Vegas, NM and further out. I would occasionally go fishing at Storrie Lake State Park. There were several RVer's who parked their RV's in the best picnic shelter spots all summer long (no hookups, and no water). They obviously purchased the resident's pass then hogged the best spots even though they were rarely there (lived nearby). I first didn't understand because I was new to the area, and the "explanation" of why they were parked there was a bunch of word salad. Really selfish. Obviously they didn't think it was, with their "first come, first serve" attitude.

@MyTi824 Год назад

Dog brush is good for the surface, but webs of feet, around ears with a flashlight .Don’t forget to check around the lids of her eyes for attached feeding nymphs. A full body inspection with your eyes and hands is a must every night and morning. Look and feel for a slight bump. The nymphs with be almost impossible to find with a black dog. When there is one there are many. From a New Yorker who knows.

@LittleMo777. Год назад

I think Sadie was mad because you parked above the river on a cliff! She wanted to be beside the water, not above it!😂

@MokkiLife Год назад

If you’re paying for a site for ALL summer that’s one thing, but if it’s a free site, that’s at the very least rude and definitely selfish! Yeah that “clear view of the NORTHERN sky” is non negotiable as far as StarLink is concerned! #150ftcord #tallexpandablepole LOVE LOVE LOVE Upstate New York ❤ It’s my (deceased) husbands home stomping grounds, I’ll be making a trip up that way with my little teardrop camper to take his ashes to Senaca Lake one of these days 🥰

@doreenwhitehead4224 Год назад

The Adirondacks are so beautiful! As a kid, we camped every weekend in the Adirondacks but in a state park. As a young adult, I hiked and camped on the Adirondack trail on several occasions for up to 10 days at a time. Loved, loved, loved it. Now, in my 70s with bum knees, hiking and camping on a trail is no longer possible... as are many other activities. I have been able to compensate, but hiking and camping on a trail is not one of them. I am able to walk on nature trails in and around my hometown, Montréal, Québec 🇨🇦 when my knees can handle it.

Deer flies or horse flies? My son's dog is allergic to fly bites and her poor little face and eyes get all swollen, he has to give her Benadryl. I live in northern NY with a 13' Scamp - wondering if I could get into any of those spots...

@jeanwonnacott2718 Год назад

We have a lot of ticks where I am, Clear Lake California, and my BettyBoop gets em often. I look in the car on the way home, and wait about a half hour. Look again, cuz they move to better places around then. I get em before they attach to her....

@getlostwhenwondering393 Год назад

I’m surprised they let people stay there without a time limit

@maryminnix4549 Год назад

Hi Carolyn. You were mentioning the selfish locals leaving their campers for the weekends. I’m camp hosting in CO and none of the people are there during the day; they’re all elsewhere. A lot of people prefer travel trailers or fifth wheels because they.can be left behind while they take day trips. It’s not always the case but often is. Love your channel. ❤️

@exploringnature6319 Год назад

I got a stupid question. If the antenna gets energy from the sun,wouldn’t you think that you can get energy from the heat of the engine? What if you put the antenna on top of the engine when it’s still warm? I don’t know nothing about this but it’s just curiosity!

@suzannebrouillette4531 Год назад

Selfish I hate people who take advantage of things like that. It seems Sadie knows just which RV is hers. Glads your Mom is feeling better.

We were in a similar situation in KC at Blue Springs Campground. I placed the Starlink atop the Cargo Glamper. Worked well.

@CarolynsRVLife Год назад

Awesome! I'm happy for you!

@MarkGeiselman Год назад

Not for nothing but I specifically got a teardrop so I could explore the area during the day and do things that aren’t necessarily in walking distance. Wouldn’t ever take a non reserved site and not stay there overnight.

I haven't been able to go up there for several years due to health problems.

An FYI. The Adirondack State Park is 6 million acres. Much of the park is privately owned. I would bet that the occupied but empty sites were on owned land.

@jeannewinpdx Год назад

Sadie living her best life! Those brushes are awesome. When I was on the road with my girl (and still now that we're home tbh) I used those brushes to keep the dirt and dust and bay. Also - do they have probiotics for dogs? Those anti-fungal meds sure do a number on the healthy gut bacteria. The Adirondacks look amazing!

@jackbrown3761 Год назад

So you are still living on the road, you're becoming a pro at boondocking, I still live in the Colorado Rockies on my own land. Full high speed internet, and views that never stop coming. My five dogs love the open space, and the Reo Grand River. Be safe and watch out for snakes.

@charlottewilson4680 Год назад
