Hey y'all, how are you doing? Just a little update cause it's been a while... :) Sierra Camping Adventures: ua-cam.com/play/PLom7agEj80-7SpbbBnejsplCY2JftO5ge.html
Diane - found your youtube channel today. I am in Roseville California and am looking to get back into camping after many years of not. I see you are based in Lake Tahoe. I am new to the area having moved here in 2021and am looking for some good places close by to start car camping on my own.
There are some good state parks and national forest campgrounds between you and Tahoe off I-80, check their websites or google campgrounds near me to see options on a map. Start close to home to get your feet wet... :)
Yay! Diane is back! That looks like heaven to me! Believe it or not I absolutely love cold weather and snow! Here is SoCal we’ve had so much rain, had to cancel a lot of hiking adventures. I know you won’t be camping now, but I would love to see vidoes around Tahoe! Show us more snowy landscapes 😍😍😍
Hey y'all... If you like snow, come on up cause now we've got plenty. Finally, after a pretty mild winter. Hope you aren't going stir-crazy inside with all that rain! Moar Tahoe, eh? Thinking...
I was watching Foresty Forest, and Adventure Time Louie overnighting in a parking lot in Truckee and I thought to myself... I wonder how Diane is doing up in those mountains? Glad to see you are hunkered down in a warm safe location. Stay safe and feeling a little guilty for 70+ temperatures in FL. Stay safe and warm, see you "outside" in the spring!
LOL, I was a lot more comfortable than they were, that's for sure! Sounds like another lovely Florida winter, but those mosquitoes, fire ants and alligators? No, thank you... :)
Hey, good to see you, and you have my deepest sympathies with all the snow that you are shoveling! I agree with you that is looks like complete misery to me for the winter wilderness You Tube campers. 🥶 I am looking forward to you and Piggies new adventures this spring and summer.
Hey Diane, #39 here, I bought a van, yay. Miss your videos, you need to come back. On a cheap rv living, Bob interview a woman who is starting a similar version of RTR in Alaska next July 2025. I am planing on going, you should too and do a meet-up.
Hey that's so awesome, congratulations!!! Yes, I'm hoping to get back to camping this summer, it's been a crazy busy year. Wow, I'd love to make it to Alaska, I'll have to check that video out. Thanks for the tip!
Hi Diane! Nice video it’s good to hear from you. I remember one year getting 3 feet of snow in 24 hours and indeed it’s overwhelming. Shovel and sweep with the broom and repeat. One good thought is Spring is on its way. Stay safe and warm.🤗
Hi Diane! Always love hearing from you! I don't blame you for not wanting to camp in the cold. Me either! Right now, I'm planning a spring camping trip to southern Utah in May and another camping trip to beautiful Idaho and the Sawtooth Mountains in July, with a stop in Idaho Falls on the Fourth for the largest fireworks display west of the Mississippi. Looking forward to it!
I'm so glad our winter is over. I'm in Central NC or south of hwy 85 close to Virginia. Ive got a two night trip planned in two or so weeks heading to Lake Gaston, yay
Hi Diane!! OMG I was thinking of you yesterday (2nd) and if or how much snow you got and if you were all right!!! The weather news did not make it look fun for you all!! Stay warm and safe! Looking forward to future videos!! Sending hugs!❤❤🤗🤗
That is crazy. I know you haven't had as much snow as last year, but last year, it was evenly distributed. Have you ever recalled a storm like this one?
Oh yea your back! Ty i got cold just watching lol am in southern california well it is raining right now and ugly grey i am too chicken to go too far from my home so i get to travel with your vids cant wait till spring loved your snow show lol
So glad to see your video this morning.❤️ I'm 1 of the crazy ones living in a van. My van is covered in snow this AM and I'm inside. Brrrr. Sending love & hugs from Canada.
Missed you, lady! Thanks for sharing the blizzard footage. Re: shoveling early and often - I learned that lesson when we had a big snowstorm come through Tennessee back in January. First wave of snow was nice and soft, but the second wave came in as an ice/snow combo, so all that nice and soft snow became hard and icy and awful. Looking forward to more camping/Diane-life adventures (with Piggy!) when the weather straightens itself out!
Diane, She's alive, she's alive. It's nice to know Ted and you are alive and well. It's clear, who's wearing the pants in the family. Cheeky and in charge. Sling that that snow like a pro. The maintenance fellows have nothing on you. Life is rough here with the rain and 49F. Slaving over a coffee maker and being a keyboard warrior. Listening to two "Mocking birds" who try to out do one another. Retired life is tough here in the SFO Bay area. I've officially join the Senior crowd recently. Oh joy ! Do bring Piggy in from the cold, some how Piggy and Frost Bite is a tad harsh to imagine. Stay safe, warm and dry. Cheers, Mate.
Thanks for posting! I was just wondering if you were going to let us see what is happening in Tahoe. Amazing storm in the Sierra's. I am in the Central Valley and ran to Yosemite before this storm hit. It was a lovely day but the weather alert on my phone had a warning to leave by 3:30. A little scary but exciting. Hope you all stay safe.🌬🏔
Thanks for the update. I’am in Kentucky now. The weather is going to be in the 70’s today. I do the seasonal nomad thing. I don’t like the winter camping either.
Is Tahoe your year round home? I'm home-based in Reno. I'm not a snow person or a skiier! I chose Reno for the taxes and the seasons that are none too extreme. The camper van is dry under the carport today. Usually, I take the van to the SW this time of year, but had to be home for some repairs. Gonna shovel the snow in the driveway today. You've got me motivated!
Hi 😊 I am a new subscriber, from Bonnie Scotland 🏴 Just recently gotten into watching vanlife /carlife vlogs and came across yours. You are inspirational! So much so that I am planning on clearing out my car tomorrow (much needed 😂) and measuring it to see if my futon will fit in there with the back seats folded down 😅 we'll see. Much love x
@dianeschmiane Thank you 😊 Car cleaned out & vacuumed. Measured some carpet for the back. Visited my dad who has spare wood and is going to build me a little ledge to bring the mattress area level! Exciting 🥰🤩
Hi Diane. Great to see a video coming from your channel. We’ve been having some great weather here in Chicago. I’m starting to get the itch to travel. After I seen the channel Firebox Stove go to Lake Tahoe I have put it on my bucket list. Seemed so beautiful with the tall pine trees 🌲. I’ll have to view it again to see if he went to the California or the Nevada side. Oh well I’ll be retiring in about 6 months and I’m looking forward to seeing Tahoe. Hang in there Lady Di and hope to see you in the spring. ATB Mike from Chicago 😊
Mike, thanks, and Chicago, whoa... There's no escaping the cold there! Tahoe is fabulous but it's kind of a zoo in July-August. September is better and the first half of October it's still warm and way less crowded. Retirement, congratulations. Get out there while you can... 🚗
Thank goodness I saw none. Been 4.5 mo 2023-24 in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Mámi passed @92 getting house in order. Be back in the Midwest by mid-April. Oldest daughter 1st baby due nxt mo. Journey South begins September 2025. Missing freedom Nomad life 🙏🏼🇵🇷🏝🌞🌊🌺🌴🪴🌿🌚🤗

On the bright side, shoveling is such great exercise, but yeah, I love my central heat and infinite hot water on days like these... :)

OH YAY!!!! Missed your videos so much! In fact, I went thru a little grieving process after I finished watching your adventures. ❤😊
Awwww, thank you! Don't worry, there will be more...

LOL, yep, pretty much that's how it goes. But we needed the precipitation, so no hurry for spring... 🌺
@@dianeschmiane That’s a good way to look at it😊
I was shivering just watching this video lol. Looking forward to seeing your spring camping videos.
Thanks, Ruth, me too!
Ohhhh noooo,,thx for the update,,,and so glad Piggy is ok,,,and of course you and Ted 😊
Thankfully the electricity and internet never went out, LOL! 🌨⛄

Hi Diane, good to see a video ☺️👍
Nice to see you again too...
That was fun . Nice tomato plant, so thats what you've been up to
That's my little gardening project that just won't die... :)
Hi Diane!! OMG I was thinking of you yesterday (2nd) and if or how much snow you got and if you were all right!!! The weather news did not make it look fun for you all!! Stay warm and safe! Looking forward to future videos!! Sending hugs!❤❤🤗🤗
We're in a bit of a banana belt here, so we don't get as much as other areas around the lake... :)
@@dianeschmiane still, that was a lot of snow you were shoveling and the blowing snow made it look like a blizzard there!! Lol
Nice seeing you again. Hopefully its nicer now 😂 I hate snow
We still have snow, but it's finally starting to melt with the longer days...
☔️ in Bay Area. Looking forward to your upcoming spring camping adventures. 🐿️⛺️ 🔦🥣 🍱 🍳
Super cool, you've got so many nice places to go nearby!
Love the update and glad Piggy is ok. It was 73 in Oklahoma today!
Holy cow, it's like springtime there! Nice to see you again, Charlotte!!
That is crazy. I know you haven't had as much snow as last year, but last year, it was evenly distributed. Have you ever recalled a storm like this one?
Meh, I don't know. Last year was a lot worse. This year's been mild... :)
Oh yea your back! Ty i got cold just watching lol am in southern california well it is raining right now and ugly grey i am too chicken to go too far from my home so i get to travel with your vids cant wait till spring loved your snow show lol

I just saw this one 🎉😊
Sure do miss hearing from you!

I'll bet it was wonderful to be there without all the crowds. Glad you made it home safe!

Oh wow, my favorite weather. But we'll get it soon enough!

Yes, this is home base, and you picked a nice one as well. I lived in Reno for years, it's a great little city. Good thing you have a carport!
Oh gosh! WOW. 😮 Crazy weather. ❄️ Nice to hear from you.
Girlfriend… so good to see you!! Boy, do I NOT blame you for not camping in THAT???? Be well and see you in the Spring ( thaw)!! Lol❤❤❤
In Kansas City it hit 80 degrees today and we've got Crocus and Jerusalem Stars blooming. Wow! Tahoe anytime is so beautiful! Thanks for the video
Whoa, that's crazy! But how nice to see the flowers coming up already!

@@lovesthegreatestgift Very cool, sounds like you're moving along nicely. It is fun, building out the rolling clubhouse, haha!
Thanks😮
Oh my!!! Looks pretty cold to me!! ❤
Not as cold as the midwest and east coast, but with that wind chill... Pretty dang cold!
