    You can set your temporary color with vinegar, helps the color last longer. The vinegar smell isn't overwhelming (to me) after you rinse it out really well and then dry in the desert breeze.
    Beautiful color. Beautiful sign. Great video. Love watching you and Joey.

    Quartzsite is so beautiful. I LOVE your carved wooden sign! You're hair color turned out perfect and I LOVE it! What a nice guy to gift you jewelry. Glad you made it safely over all those rocks and bumps. Happy Sunday morning. Have fun!

    I love the way your hair changes shade of pink.
    When I was 15 I did my hair pink with food colouring. It lasted for months and as time went on it changed shades of pink. I’m 51 now, the crazy things we do when we are young😂

      Im 59 I heard in my day girls used KoolAid packets. Not for me. I see women my age or in their 40’s and wonder do they realize how ridiculous they look? And we used vinegar sprayed on our hair for highlights. No wonder our hair was so dry. 😂

    Enjoyed your video. You were recommended to watch by a friend Beth Sundberg-Leonie who just went down to Quartzite to camp. We’re headed down in about 2 weeks from now for a ‘Ham Radio QuartzFest’ that my husband is participating in. That’s being held south of town(I believe 7 miles, but it doesn’t look like it on google map). It’s the Roadrunner 14-day camping area just off of La Paz Valley Rd. ’m personally interested in browsing the rock show tents and maybe checkout the rv tent show. Other than that we’ll be checking out a few 4x4 trails in our red Jeep the 24th and 25th. I mention the ‘red’ Jeep just in case you catch a glimpse of us. And by the way, thanks for the heads up on the firewood.

    Hello Chantelle, I keep coming back to you and just wanted to let you know that you and Joey are my favorite subscription. I recently purchase a Ford Transit Connect to do some cross country traveling. I have friends in Bellingham Washington and a beloved daughter in Las Vegas. I like to take month long trips to visit them and camp in-beteeen. This coming year I want to go to Arizona. How late in Spring can one still tolerate Arizona? And when do people go back in the fall?
    Also need to tell you that what first attracted your Journey to me is your making and enjoying your morning coffee. I'm also a coffee nut. Also I have 2 fur boys named Dexter and Axel who always come on trips with me. Hope to Meet you some day. Regards Christa

    I am in Quartzite!!! Made the plunge! So funny your talking to Joey alone in your car. My furball is with me , was sitting outside my car last night cleaning. Veges, cooking and talking to furball, and suddenly stopped realizing my dog is in the car! So been sitting here over an hour having a very animated conversation with something NO ONE CAN SEE! So if you hear about the crazy
    Old lady in another camp, it’s just one of your followers on her
    shakedown cruise. Lol, hope to run into you. Your right, this is a fun place!
