Roodle’s sure picked a good life. Thank you for giving him that.
Our pleasure, Nancy! Roodle has a special gift of making people around him happy and smile. 😀
Roodle is a happy dog. What a beautiful life you’re giving him.
Roodle is such a joy! Tonight he hides between us as people light off fireworks. Take care and happy new year. 🐕🎾
We really appreciate that you guys don’t have drama and “click bait whining” on your channel.. we watch a few other travel channels too and they have all resorted to newspaper type headlines and slightly misleading phrases… sad
Appreciate your normalcy and down to earth-ness…👍 And of course, Roodle….😁
Thank you! I just watched watched a UA-cam channel where they complained about everything the whole video .😂 That is definitely not us, so happy you enjoy our style. Thank you for letting us know. Take care. 😀👍
The first time I was there was 1969. There were a few dirt areas to camp and it was stocked by a fly fishing club. The last time I was there was 2005 and I was driving a Ford Ranger with a 4cyl motor carrying a cabover camper with a utility trailer. I got stopped at the cattle crossing and had to take the long way in. It's much farther and steep. Not as bad as the first section you did. It takes you way up on the mountain and drops down to the campground. There was a nice trail towards the end of the lake that would take you to Bowers Lake and beyond with a right turn that would take you to the top of the ridge to the east. The view from there can look both ways north and south following the valley. The fish can be spectacular in there.
That place was perfect secluded, quiet and beautiful...That would be a Top 5 for me...Happy Trails 🐕
Hi Carrie and Dave and Roddle👍😍 Proud of you Both! Stay safe at the beet harvest 👍😍 Proud of you Carrie operating the Beet machineries You go girl👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🙋♀️
Thanks so much! The first day was stressful but I really enjoy operating this machine!
The footage of Dave and Roodle both chilling out on the paddle board, priceless.
i agree! it was great to see! Roodle would not let dave go out without him. One time he took his ball.....you can imagine how that went...lol
Best camping and travel video s out there. You show great places for us to look for. Thanks soooo much.
Thank you, Susan! We love to here kind words. Big hugs to you. 😀
I’m at 8400lbs in my Promaster and know exactly what your talking about with the steep hills and loose gravel. Great idea to walk up and radio down that the coast is clear to go for it! Love your journey and I always check your videos when I’m traveling through an area to find the best spots!
Right on! glad it was helpful.
Yet another amazing video with excellent and practical content!!! Thank you for taking me on your journey! A+
That road....You guys are brave. We encountered a road that I just could not continue on. We took the Dog out and I made a 7 or 8 point turn around. There was no room for 2 vehicles. The drop off edge was so steep, it ruined me for those kinds of roads now.
After we came down, we looked at it from below and from the highway. It is on Copper Creek road past the falls. Hwy 95 North of Bonners Ferry. It forks and the road goes up the side of a big mountain. Its almost Canada like where you were but East a bit.
Every video. You find this amazing stops. Incredible.
Thank you, Maggie! This one was extra quiet and most relaxing for me. 👍😀
So soothing to hear the thunder in the back ground 😌🙌
I enjoy watching your amazing videos 👏👏👏
Yes Febe! I love watching storms roll in. We agree about it being a soothing sound to hear thunder in the distance. 😀😀😀
My favorite bird sound is a loon as well i love that sound back home in maine camping on the lakes growing up
We lived in WA for 23 years and would camp at Lake Conconully several times. It is just south of where you are in this video. Beautiful area!
Very cool! I will have to research Lake Conconully. 👍😀
Is it BLM? Is it free campsite?
I see a Mullein field behind you (minute 30 and on.... ) It's all dried up but would be a great place in spring to harvest the plant!
Very keen eye! There was a few large areas of fresh green Mullein. I dried a large bag of it for this winters use, while we were there. 👍😀😀
Wish I were there relaxing and enjoying such beautiful lakefront solitude. Gotta luv Roodle enjoying his paddle board floatie.🛶
"Cat", here, Guys! Although we don't have a front wheel drive van, we have been told by people who do have them that the old fashioned narly snow chains do work well on hills like the one you experienced here!
Thank you for the tip, Cat! We do carry those old fashion tire chains with us. I will make a mental note for future encounters.👍😀😀😀 Carrie says we will try it out and make a short video on how it works. Thank you!
@@oneadVANtureatatime Can"t wait to see that one! Be safe out there, Yall!
What a peaceful place! Carrie looked like she was blissed out on the paddle board 🥰
Very peaceful! I was very confused with the lack of people enjoying this gem! 😀😀
Definitely worth the rough road in, looks like you had the camp ground all to yourself . Thanks for sharing the video . I'm with you Dave the loon is my favorite waterfowl I could listen to them all night long , such a beautiful bird too. . As always stay safe and healthy.
we never got to see the loon. We heard him one other time and then he left!
Hi guys! Great video. I would always love to see Carrie cook dinner. Always looking for easy, delicious meal ideas! Plus, you are a great cook Carrie. 👩🍳
Thank you, Jodi! We are currently at the Sugar beet harvest and Carrie has been cooking the best soups! We have shore power hook ups and our crockpot has been doing a lot of work! What a treat after a long days work. 😀😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime how many more days until the Beet Harvest is completed? Was it financially successful as last year? Hopefully, the answer is Yes! 👍
What an amazing camping spot! Thanks for sharing it. Safe travels!
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching and commenting. 😀
Another awesome spot, you two! Good to see Dave on the SUP this time. Thanks for another wonderful video!
Not sure if you still get our GMail messages but just wanted to make sure you know the welcome mat is out for a rest stop on I 75 on your way to Florida. If you have time stop by at your convenience. Have a good Beet harvest and hug Roodle for us.
+Dennis H. Cofer hello! I replied to your letter last night…. Apparently I didn’t send it🤷♀️ I found it in my Drafts when I went looking for it after I saw this message on UA-cam. Check your email when you get a chance😃
Wow, you three find the best places. This is my kinda place. Thanks for all the helpful information.
Thank you! We appreciate your kind words.😀
Love this video. Casey my Yorkie Poo loves watching Roodle play, he jumps up to the table top TV and barks. Scenery is beautiful .
Roodle has quite the fan club!!!
16:09: these bulbous clouds (near dead center in the video) are known as cumulus mamatus! They are considered very rare to spot.
What a beautiful way to start the weekend watching this wonderful Vlog.
Have a blessed beautiful safe weekend everyone Hello from LI New York.
Thank you! You too!
Wow, wonder if VANNA would make it up that huge hill😎 Great primitive camping on that lake👍Love the rain/cloud footage, perfect music accompaniment💖💖 You are so precious Carrie, I love your kayak adventures💖 Love Dave & ROODLE kayacking, looks so peaceful💖 Loved the private beach😎 awesome camp ground!!! Oh that valley view coming down😮😮 Thanks for the road report🤔🤔🤔 Hey Dave, Ya think VANNA & I can make it up there??🤔 Love ya guys, HAPPY TRAILS😎💖🤠
Yes! Your Vanna would have no problem at all. Your rear wheel drive eats up hill climbs with no struggle. 👍😀😀
Roodle is smarter than the cattle. Lol Beautiful place. Thanks guys.
I think Roodle knows over 20 words that we didn’t even teach him😂 Take care guys!
Thank you very much friends. Everytime I watch one of your videos I get some great ideas. We really appreciate you. Take care.
Thank you, Bill! We enjoy sharing with you. 😀
Hey folks. I'm William, my wife Erin. We are touching our 60s. Not really in tune all the social media type platforms. But I want to reach out to say we both enjoy the "3" of you.
This may be the first time I have reached out to the 3 of you because in our case we view you on the TV. SO... we don't reach out to you.
But I am taking this time to reach out on my 8 year old tablet to say thank you for sharing you work... Your destinations and sharing such details. Your destination, the camp site information.
Both Erin an I appreciate it and admire it. We are Washingtonians.
Thank you, William and Erin
Hi William and Erin! We appreciate you taking the time to comment. I wish they made a way to comment right from the tv. 😀 We love to hear kind words like this as Carrie puts so much time and effort into the editing process. Washington was great this summer. I think we have one more video coming for your state. Our favorite free designating campground in the USA. 😀
WOW! Great & Informative videos you guys! Roodle is awesome! Just got a camping trailer & would love to check out this spot! Especially since it's in my home state. Keep up the good work & have fun!❤
Beautiful spot guys loved it. Roodle did that cattle guard like a pro, smart puppy. HAPPY TRAILS
I used to help him....maybe this gave him confidence! or maybe it was mom being to protective. he has no problem with dad!
You are both great. Just love your videos.
Thank you, Sarah! We appreciate your kindness. 👍😀
That road looks like the one into Burro Creek that had at least three places my Promaster spun the wheels, especially coming out. Had to rest the brakes too! Still looks like a Megs place. Just got back to Kansas after 3 1/2 month’s traveling the northeast coast of US and Canada. Fantastic trip! Was going westbound but fell last night possibly tearing my rotator cuff, sprained wrist and contusion to kneecap. May be later than mid November before I’m out of here.
You guys are awesome! That is my kind of road to my kind of destination! We just had an unusually hot fall....nearly 80F...hottest fall since the 1930's!!!!....in Southern Alberta. But suddenly... I just finished shoveling 5 million LBS of wet snow this morning! 😳 👍😎🇨🇦❄📷
We need a good off the beaten path location every now and then to recharge! This spot was perfect! We are currently getting your weather swing temperatures here in Michigan. It’s snowed a few days ago and now it’s mid 70’s F. 😀😀
This is a cool looking lake! We are going to have to visit it! Neat that you heard and saw loons! We have loons in Northern Idaho (up north of Bonners Ferry) in Smith Lake and Robinson Lake. So, they are here. They aren't the easiest to film, though. It's almost like they know you are filming and they hide and are quiet. As soon as you put your camera up....out they come. lol.
Aspen do grow at lower elevations up here. Here are just a few of the many places to find them in North Idaho at lower places. There is a huge stand at about 3200 feet in elevation going up Deer Ridge Rd (north of Bonners Ferry, and North of Moyie Springs), off of CR 72. There are several neat places to camp by Deer Creek near the Aspen. There are also Aspen in the "valley" area up by Boundary Creek WMA (right up on the Canadian border). You pass several Aspen stands on West Side Road getting there at about 2200 feet in elevation. The Aspen are also along the St Joe River, at Huckleberry Campground (a BLM site). That one is at about 2400 feet in elevation. Anyway, they are one of my favorite trees. I love to watch the wind going through the leaves.
We had family near Sand Point but wow, you are way up north! I would like to check Smith Lake area out a bit next time through. I love aspen trees as well! The sound the wind makes blowing through the leaves is unmatched. One one my favorite places in Wyoming has aspen trees growing out of white sand on the edge of a crystal clear lake. Loons are the best! If and when we ever settle down I hope it’s loon country. 👍😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime You've got to check it out! Smith Lake is free, so is Brush Lake. Dawson Lake is also free, but you definitely hear the traffic from Meadow Creek Road. There are also places along the Kootenai river to camp for free (one near Kootenai Wildlife Refuge and one near Boundary WMA). The one near Boundary WMA has absolutely gorgeous sunrises. And, there is free camping all along Deer Cr Ridge. Oh, and you can camp for free during the off season at Robinson Lake, Copper Creek, and Meadow Creek Campgrounds (spring and fall....winter would probably be inaccessible).
Great video you guys. We will have to check that location out scout it first though. Very beautiful and surprised you had it to yourselves.
I am still surprised how many people did not visit this camping area! What a gem. We were in need of an out of the way quiet location at the time. 👍😀
Love all your videos. Safe travels!! From Oregon
Thanks so much!
Great teamwork guys. Love you Roodle!
Thanks for sharing all your great adventures!!
Thank you! Our pleasure. 😀
Very interesting video. Beautiful scenery and wonderful campground.👍😁
Thank you, Marilyn! We found this one on the Washington state DNR map. 👍😀
Thanks for sharing
It is always Roodle Time!!!
I love that area of Washington, under-visited. Loon is my second fav bird call, Whipporwill is tops for me. What an interesting pair of campsites and a great lake. Too bad fishing licenses get so darn expensive when you travel. We need a USA-wide license agreement! Great video! thanks!
I am going to research that Whipporwill bird! Yes a federal fishing license would be amazing! Then we would have to make more room in the van for gear.😂
Another lovely place to camp-however I would not be able to get there. I am thankful you filmed & shared with us. 🙏✌🌎💞
Glad you enjoyed it! Glad we made it! It was probably the MOST RELAXING location to date!
Sketchy ride up, but what a reward, beautiful area & lake.
You got that right!
New sub here, 2nd video watched - beautiful location, marked my atlas for the future :)
Oh, yeah, when I lived in Colorado there was a backcountry road rule...downhill traffic gives right of way to uphill traffic (this way uphill traffic does not lose their momentum)...guess this rule doesn't apply to all states
Incredible camp area‼️😎
Great video😁 Thank you
Thank you, Sunny! I feel we need a quiet remote spot like this at least once a month to recharge. This location was perfect! 👍😀
I love that dog
He is some kind of special! He has always made people happy!
I got a jeep will definitely be doing this
No problem for a jeep!
Yeah I got to get 4wd 😂. Looks great love the camp spot 👍🏼
No problems for you getting here. There are many side rides to explore that we couldn’t do but you might have lots of fun up here. 👍😀
Beautiful! Have you ever run into leeches in fresh water lakes?
+michelle osborne yes!! Soda lake in Wyoming! It sucked…. Literally 😂😂😂 no more swimming there for me!!
You guys always find awesome campsites! Roodle is a pro at crossing the cattle guards. Lol. No wonder it's not busy. That road!
Roodle seems to enjoy crossing logs, bridges, and cattle guards! It’s like he has a big smile on his face when the task is completed. 😂 Take care Freedom Dove, we hope your having a good day. 👍😀
Roodle shows his natural proprioception crossing the cattle guard; I think he did look down to check where he was going to place his feet & and also when he stepped off the paddle board onto the beach! 🐕🙂🚣
@@madison1446 Yes, Roodle is very smart. 👍
Weirdly UA-cam did not send me a notification that u had a video today. I looked it up after it was several hours later than usual.
I think that was our bad, Samantha. We messed up the release time. I feel bad for Carrie as she is editing videos while working the harvest at the same time. I can barely keep up with the harvest work. 😂👍
@@oneadVANtureatatime
Poor things. I was wondering if u guys were still at the beet harvest. I just wanted u guys to know in case UA-cam had done something wrong.
Thank you! We appreciate the information, sometimes strange things have happened on here.👍
Me too
You guys go to such beautiful places!
Thank you, Gary! This place was extraordinary pleasant. 😀😀👍
How high can your drone go? I know there are restrictions in national forests ,400 feet, if I remember correctly. You always get some good footage.
We’re only 3 and 1/2 hours from this site but we’d never make it in our van. It looks awesome!
If your van is rear wheel drive you may have no trouble at all. Although this time of year with the risk of snow would be a no go for anyone. 👍😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime we have a 3500 Pro-master Lexor with even more weight than you.
What a wonderful video... that place was so nice... I would love to go there some day too...how long do you have to leave for on the blm or park sight ... could you just do back and forth? and I guess I would not need to fish for that price...lol... wow. but boy that road is scary... stay safe and healthy ... Deb from South Dakota
Great question! Most blm land we have found is 14 days out of a 28 day period and you have to move out of a 25 mile radius in that time. 👍😀
Great spot. Love the lake. Could you tow a trailer up there with a 4X4?
A small light trailer during good weather might be just fine. I wouldn’t stop on the hill climb section though. 👍😀
Love your videos. I have a question that you've probably talked about before. I see a cell booster antenna on your van. What do you have and how does it work?
No way my 40" 5th wheel is going up that grade LOL Can you share that lake with me? Im from washngton state and love to learn more about its places to camp
This is Chopaka Lake… the coordinates are in the video description. So many obstacles on this route that are going to cause you grief with that size rig. We WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT! We have seen people get big rigs into some pretty impressive places though. Definitely scout it our first without the 5th wheel.
Will I be able to get here with my Honda SUV with regular tires? No overlanding experience.
What a beautiful spot. You the are living the life. So peaceful, need that in this crazy world. Thank you
It really is! I think this video is very low key....some might say boring! This location was so peaceful and relaxing!
Can u get in that water paddle board
Dave,u are required to have a pfd on you sup. State gestapo will write a ticket for that😢
Thank you for the tip! We don't need a ticket for sure👍
Dave can ask for Veteran's Discount, and show his Military ID, VA ID, or DD214 in all BLM, DNR, State and National Parks. I envy you guys, living my life without me. But i'm going to catch up to you summer of 23...
That sounds good Sam! 2023 is coming fast. 👍😀😀
Another doozy of a campsite! How do you find these places?
We found this one on the Washington DNR map. Normally we find our sites on the FreeRoam and IOverlander app. 👍😀
Tent? Someone help me out with info, on how they utilize the tent.
+Madison we don’t use the tent very often. We have it to save our spot at really popular free campgrounds…. Check out Saturdays video. It’s an old backpacking tent that is falling apart so now it is our dogs tent. He gets his bone treats in the tent when outside as he hates flies and bees! He tends to get stung…. So treat inside tent equals no bee stings. When we decide to go backpacking again we will need a new tent 1) it’s falling apart 2) it smells of a nice juicy bone ….
Hello! ?????? Is your GSPSCN Silver Tire Inflator able to inflate a KO2 85 psi tire of a ram 136wb. The one I bought can’t inflate my tires, ( a different bran).
I want to be sure that it can inflate my tires, my van weighs 6000 pounds
Our rear tires are 80psi on 8600 lb van. I would say 80 pounds is close to max as the last 5 pounds takes 10 minutes to fill.
@@oneadVANtureatatime my Van weight is like 6100 lbs. should possibly work. Thank for the answer. You guys have a great life!!! Nice.
Sorry I'm late to the game but can y'all point me to the links for your paddle board seat? I found the Freein site but not with that seat.
Carrie got this seat at Walmart. It’s one of those ones that goes on bleachers . I had to cut off the piece that sticks down to hold it in place so it wouldn’t puncture the paddle board. I hope this helps, I don’t see the brand name on the seat itself. 👍
@@oneadVANtureatatime Awesome! I like the support best! Love it. Thank you.
Will bears be a problem?
We didnt see any bear or any bear evidence but I would say always be bear aware.
Did you come here out of recommendation or how did you find it?
Hi Sandra. This is one of the campgrounds listed on our Washington DNR map. We just read the description and thought it sounded like the kind of camping we like. 👍😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime Thank you, you do an excellent job at finding places! It’s always fun to see what you’ll find next.
The road looks challenging, I always like a little adventure.
It looks like a great place to spend a weeks time exploring.
I agree with Dave the call of a Loon is a beautiful haunting call.
I haven't heard one since 1971😭.
I am definitely getting a paddle board.
👍
Now that we have a seat I am really enjoying the paddle board! Now I want to fish more😂 We hope you have a loon encounter again soon, the sound of its call instantly improves my morale. 😀😀
How’s your Mama, Carrie?
She is doing well! thank you for asking. I talked to her yesterday and she sounded GREAT! She is continuing her treatments and from what she said her cancer is not growing.
@@oneadVANtureatatime .
That’s wonderful. Please tell her I’m happy for her.
Ok u can i see she in the water
Thank u for sharing
