Traveling with Minnie VanGogh
United States
Приєднався 22 жов 2020
Hello! I'm Marilyn and I'm Traveling with Minnie VanGogh! Please join me in my adventures as I travel around in my minivan camper, exploring the sites, enjoying the beauty and of course meeting new friends and reconnecting with old friends. I have named my minivan Minnie VanGogh. Minnie Van- because she is a minivan and VanGogh because I have an interest in painting. As I start to travel more and more, I thought that creating a UA-cam channel might be helpful in keeping my friends and family in the know of what I am doing, where I have been and that I am happy having the time of my life. I travel with my best friend, Jazzi, who is a 6 year old Border Collie. I hope you enjoy coming along for the ride!

Visiting Maine was a dream come true for me. I was captivated by the grandeur of the lighthouses dotting the seashore, as well as the endless mountain vistas that stretched into the horizon. My friend Sandy graciously invited me to spend a couple of days with her, and she showed me all the hidden gems in her neck of the woods. We had such a wonderful time exploring and even though Blue decided ...

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃They Didn't have a picture of lasagna 🤣🤣
Happy Thanksgiving! 😹
I like being able to stay in and not go out anymore. I take care of my twin grandbabies but my son or his wife bring them to me. I'm in Missouri so I we usually get more ice than snow. I don't like either of them. Enjoy your lasagne. My son is deep frying a turkey for all the relatives going to their house.
Ice is a nightmare, I’ll take snow any day over ice. Enjoy those grand babies. Thank you for watching, Happy Thanksgiving!
Just grabbed this because I’m tired of going to the gas station for pumping up my tires.
I hope you like it as much as I do. I too was going to gas stations and having to pay for air. This has paid for itself already. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful country❤
Can't wait till next year when we can spend a couple of nights camping in that area.
Sandys Maine accent at the end 😂
She's precious, just like you!
Love you ladies and love the laughter and good times we share together! 🦋💙🦋
I miss you all and so happy we check in with each other every day. ❤
I missed this but glad I got to see it. Miss you ladies
This is what happens when you abondon your chicks!
That was so much fun hanging out with you, ladies. 😂
I really miss you guys
Thanks!
I hope this helped you. Thank you for watching!
Does the bridge still get flooded? Beautiful views along the road. Thanks for sharing.
Yes it still floods every spring. It is located in an area close to the Tionesta Dam which was constructed as part of the flood control system. Tionesta Creek flows in to the Allegheny River which joins the Monongehela to form the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, PA.
How much does it cost? I need one of those😁
I paid about $40 but right now the tool only is $29.97 at Home Depot. The battery and charger are extra at $89
Great review
Thanks so much. This will be with me from now on, but it sure is nice to have friends like you who helped me out in the past!
Could you paint the reflectix?
I have seen some videos where people have painted the reflectix. I don't know how well that would last. I chose to cover the reflectix with fabric since using the spray adhesive was so easy. Thank you for watching. I hope you found the video helpful.
What adhesive did you use to adhere your fabric to the reflectix?
I think it was a spray adhesive I bought at JoAnn's Fabrics
Jazzi is so pretty 😍 At 2:52 where is that? It looks familiar.
The waterfall is Smalls Falls near Phillips, ME. Give Sophie some love from me and Jazzi!
That’s the best way of getting a window mat the right shape I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
I'm happy to know that this helps. Thank you for watching.
That boat is big enough for 3-5 footers. Just a little bumpy.
Yes, it handled well. Can't say the same for one of the customers, LOL. Thanks for watching!
i think the mountains you are looking at from left to right are Saddleback, Little Saddleback, Farmer, and Mt. Abraham, the peak way off to the right is Sugarloaf Ski area......i have to suffer through looking at these everyday too.. i can see them from 30 miles away though, enjoy your trips and endeavors...
You know your mountains of Maine for sure. I live in the foothills of Pennsylvania and just 30 miles from me in Ohio the land is flat and boring. I recently went to Forest County, PA where the mountains get bigger but to see mountains this size I need to go further east. Maine did not disappoint at all with the different terrains and I will return for more. Thank you so much for watching.
Very nice!
Thank you and thank you for watching.
Where is this? I would have loved going there.
Sandy took me to a few places that were absolutely gorgeous
Jazzy is living it up❤❤Where's Blue?
He got an attitude and decided to spend the day in bed. He didn't miss out the next day though!
@travelingwithminnievangogh awe bless him 🙏 glad he had a better day ❤️
Jazzys having a blast
New trees, new squirrels!
Beautiful views
Yes they are, I could watch this view all day.
Fun park for the fur babies!
You can see they wore themselves out... the best dog park I have ever seen - besides the one at Bonita Springs in FL
That was fun day with the pups! 💙🦋💙
It was so nice to have them off leash for a change, They sure appreciated it.
I like the patios on top of some of the buildings
Aren't they something!
It was closed the day Sandy, Linda and I went plus me and Linda were illegally parked and got caught. But were allowed to stay long enough to get a picture though 🤣🤣
Parking was a bit confusing but I asked and was told where I was was OK. I didn't get a ticket so I guess I got lucky. It was very interesting inside and a fantastic view from the top. Guess next year I will try the Searsport Observatory.
@@travelingwithminnievangogh that one is easy, it has an elevator 😁 do the fort also it is amazing.
@@thisvanlifeofmine I did do the fort and loved it
Very nice. Great job.
Thank you and thank you for watching.
In my opinion the waves were giving you a nice walleye chop. Hard to tell from video, but given the lack of steady whitecaps I'd say you had 3 fts tops.... but I could be wrong. Relative to missing fish, ensure you have your drag set correctly and slow down on your retrieve. My advice would be to hold the rod with your left hand about a foot up from the reel. Keep your tip up and do a steady retrieve, when the fish see's the boat and takes a dive - do not reel in, let the drag do its job. But it looks as though you had fun, that is all that counts....
Thank you for watching. I had a ball. It had been almost 5 years since I was out on the lake and I definitely lost my touch. I need to relearn. Our charter boat captain was great and had it not been for the fact that my friend was getting seasick, I'm sure I would have gotten my technique back. Here's to trying again in May. Hopefully with calmer seas.
Great Video! I love that place! 💙🦋💙
Thanks! It really was special, can't wait to go back.
So many places to see in Maine!
and we gotta go back to see more 'cause we can't seem them all in one year!
interesting video great leaning experience
When you return to Maine, be sure to stop. They have so many wonderful products.
Oh I need to go there next time🤣
Sorry you missed it when you were there. Definitely get there next time, you will be glad you did!
@@travelingwithminnievangogh I plan on it 😁
Great video!! Love the chocolate Moose and Bears. So fun!! I'm going to have to put Maine on my bucket list now. 😊💜🐾
I have always wanted to go to Maine and this was my first year going there - Loved it so much I went 3 times!
My ideal exercise walking and shopping😂
Yep, I know what you mean! Thank you for watching.
Those were fun times! 💙🦋💙
Yes it was, and we will have to do it again
Enjoyed the video
Sure wish you could have been there!
Very beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. 👍2
thank you, I appreciate you watching. Love your channel as well.
enjoyed- you uploaded amazing -talk to you soon~ Traveling~=))
Thank you for watching and for your kind comments.
I could hardly believe Jazzy and Blue sitting so calmly while that squirrel taunted them. But a dog can only take so much! Lol! Thanks for the beautiful day in maine ❤
They were so good for so long. It was amazing. I was just waiting for the action to happen but still wasn't prepared for it when it did.
I love the way you think things out and make everything useful and pretty. It would make me happy to look at it everyday. Well done Marilyn!
Thank you for your kind words. That means a lot to me.
Thanks for the simple idea for making a template for window covering. That’s a big $$ saver. Glad to find your channel❤️
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you are here too. I appreciate you.
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍5
Thank you for watching.
Looks like you still had fun despite rough waters 🐟🐟
I did, but my poor friend was not doing well. It was good to be back out on the lake again. I sure do miss it.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!!!!! I’m a 65 year old woman dreaming about van living someday. Right now I’m just van camping for the 2nd time this weekend!!!!
Welcome to Van Life! I love to camp in my minivan. I know several people who live full time in theirs and love it. Personally, I am good for about a month before I feel the need to be back in my sticks-n-bricks, but then it's not long and I feel the need to be in my tiny home on wheels and off for another adventure.
The reflective on the windows will interfere with internet reception. I used black corrugated plastic instead.
Thank you for pointing that out, I may have been wondering eventually why I wasn't able to get online. Thank you for watching and for your input.
Hey I linked to this video from reddit bc you are so sweet and cool. I only drive a hatchback but I watched your video so I'd know what to do, I never heard of reflectix. I wish I could sew fabric on I never login to leave comments but you inspired me so I'm saying thx
thank your for your kind words and for watching.
Hope to make it there someday!
let me know if you do come, I'll be happy to show you around.
@@travelingwithminnievangogh Thank you!
just beautiful
It was an awesome place
