LOL I'm SO glad you changed "gentleman" to male human being. I get so sick of people always calling even criminals, "gentleman" or "ladies" I think things are different. People are ruder, entitled, and mean.
Sometimes, we need to separate ourselves from people. Your followers will follow you even if you live in a tiny home or in an apartment. We love you and want the best for you. Our world has so many people with anger issues, and it's best to surround yourself with the love this group has for you. I'm praying for you 🙏
What ever happened to scoping a camp from a distance using binoculars? Why aggravate the person you're scoping out. Lindy knows what he looks like if stuff did come up missing. She should drive thru his camp and get a video of him if she can. Some people don't learn manners until it happens to them
It is a shame how disrespectful people are. It seems like the majority of people these days. I'm afraid that the more divided our politics become the more disrespectful people become. Thanks for sharing.
I have lived in Quartsite 2 and a half years and over that time I have experienced the worst attitudes of people in all my travels. They are so entitled, they treat the local people that live here so terrible. Be careful out there. I enjoy your journey.
What has worked fast for me is saying, "My dog and I are sick! It's contagious. Don't bring your dog over here." Sick and tired of disrespect and boundaries crossed.❤
Love it! One time I had to get through a crowd that seemed to think I was invisible, until I yelled, “Excuse me! Dog with DIARRHEA!!!!!” That worked wonders!
I was going to RTR this year and changed direction. I'm glad I didn't go. You are a breath of fresh air. I wish people remembered manners. I've had people coming into my camp and sitting at my table, fire etc. without being invited, leave trash and one even yelled at me I didn't own the park. So tired of boundaries being crossed.
That’s more than rude! That’s really like trespassing when then actually sit on your property! Makes me not want to go camping. I’m going to try meetups with like-minded people. All the best to you!❤
Yes.... You need and deserve your peace. I decided years ago that I would never go to the RTR. Once it grew over 200/400 people.... I knew then it was not for me. Allowing your dog to go into someone's camp and piss on their chairs/tables.... That's a no no and a no brainier. Your followers will come and find you if you choose to camp outside of that mess. Go find your peace. We all love you and want the best for you 💖
Wow Lindy, I 100% agree with what you are saying, sometimes we put up with disrespect and rudeness so long until that happens. But more people do need to stand up and protect their space. Hats off to you.👍❗️👍 As far as the nervousness and anxiety goes since your heart surgery, as a retired nurse of 49 years working, I have rehab hundreds of heart patients, the increase in nervousness, sensitivity, and other things like that are very typical. Please continue to take care of yourself because that rudeness is only going to increase. Thank you for sharing all of this. 🙏🕊🙏
I have a very large and loud Horn used in boats that when I’m approached by a dog or human I don’t want in my camp I let it rip. Every dog backs off. I even ran a Bear ran off once. I take it with me when I walk my dog (always on leash). It’s hard to get far enough away from people nowadays. I’m way out from Q and just had three campers with ATVs and lots of kids park right next to me. They drove around and around till 10:30 pm. I had shined my light over there and heard the dad say, “who cares just keep going”. Parents are teaching their kids disrespect. But at least they will be gone on Monday I hope. 😢❤
When someone is acting strange, in silence, I pray for Gods help. I don’t know if they are manipulated by evil spirits but they flee every time I do. God is good, always.🙏🙏🙏

I think the powwow starts tomorrow . I think it’s from the 15th -19th…. Very crowded… we used to go for many years, but we don’t go anymore too crowded too many shitty people.
I put my hand up and tell intruders to STOP! I then tell them "We are in the middle of a private conversation. Have a blessed day." Turn your shoulder away and continue with your discussion. I really admire you and enjoy sharing in your life.❤
I hate the word "blessed" so I must commend you on your passive-aggressiveness; very effective. I suggest using "bro, dude, "I know my rights', "I can't breathe", and "I appreciate you" for the same effect.
Lindy, I have learned from living in Rv parks that many people who are also there have either mental health issues or drug abuse issues. I once had a Neighbor in a park that was constantly entering my space and ignoring any requests to stay away. One time she had her dog in the bath house which wasn’t allowed. I was there to wash up and mentioned the rule, but that didn’t change things. Then one morning, I was awoken by my dog who was barking incessantly. When I opened the trailer door there was yellow crime scene tape across my space and the road. Turns out the crazy neighbor I had been dealing with killed her husband. I had even gone to the management prior to the killing to tell them there were problems, but they treated it like it was just a neighbor problem. I believe it’s better to consider all aspects of the people you encounter because you will never be able to have a rational conversation with them. Best to walk away even if it’s inconvenient.
In New Zealand we have a type of camping called Freedom Camping. All vehicles are required to have a code of compliance for such use. Unfortunately many of the people who freedom camp are EXACTLY like this male you encountered. Some are even worse! I have had totally loose roaming dogs, no owner in sight, coming over to my vehicle and trying to attack my dog! NIGHTMARE!
💯💯💯 Exactly, I stay away from people, all of my focus is on my senior rescue pets and improving their health (and mine), and life is amazing. I just regret that I didn't learn this when I was young. Anyway, no one should expect a lot of respect hanging out in Quartzite. I was tempted to go myself but then thought that I don't want to be around that grossness. I take my rescue dogs on drives up and down the Pacific Coast Highway and we're all way happier.
I’m gonna be 77 yrs old. Live alone in a tiny home. Miss driving. Can’t drive anymore. Only child. Single parent. Love outdoor and animals mostly. Don’t really go anywhere except drs office. Have quite a few health issues. But I can move. Lose my balance sometimes (no drs know why)..and I’ve fallen a lot last 2 yrs ( thankful because I haven’t broken any bones…just look all banged up and bruised up). Only child…so I was alone as a child too. I’d play outside a lot. With my 2 dogs. Walked dirt trails near my home, think my wool life I’ve had to kind of pretend I’m sociable. I’m funny too. But deep down inside, I’ve always like my space, my solitude , the quiet…and hanging out with animals. Never remarried. No support. No help. Family and animals I always helped. Most little children and all animals I adore. But adult humans…not a fan. Some are very nice …but being I don’t get out much…I’d rather just hang with animals. They’re so drama …and no complaining. Have many health issues…but just pain and lots neuropathy and fatigue. I’m talking fibro exhaustion. So I’m better alone. I talk to my cats and the squirrels, and the opossums,and the raccoons, and the birds…they get along..and they trust me…and I trust them. You take care. Stay away from rude, overbearing adults who are noisy and whiny. You and Marley take good care of yourselves. Stay safe. Hugs. ❤️❤️🌟🌟🌈🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ms. Lindy you are recovering from a major surgery. It takes time to repair tissue, make muscle and blood cells. It also takes an emotional toll. So much happened and is still happening. Give yourself time, space, and acknowledge when you have had enough to take a break, have a rest, listen to your favorite music, put a cold wash cloth over your eyes and be on ignore. Take good care yourself ❤
We've been sitting here in our spot since September 1st. The Rainbow Group came in here and tried to run us out. They even threatened to camp on top of us. Needless to say we didn't budge. They learned real fast that it's first come first serve out here. The entitlement out here this season is crazy
So Sorry you have encountered such negativity and over bearing rudeness...I'm proud of YOU.. For your peace of mind and body, I think it's time for a change of scenery for You and Marley...❤❤
Oh, Lindy 🫂 I know the feeling of violation. Or those who feel they can be disrespectful. As for negativity, that drains the soul. To me, it's more tiring. 🙏🏻 you find more peaceful energy and recovery along your journey.
I always keep to myself, I never set up any type of camp outside my van, I stay in places that don’t really invite a camping atmosphere and I rarely speak to folks unless I have to. It’s safer that way plus there’s little to no drama. I would be careful if I were you. Yes, I agree we should be respected but I have seen more rude behavior than nice behavior out of the road. And I’m merely an old woman. Due to finances, I have to be out on the road 6 months out of the year. I’m not out there to socialize. If we lived in friendlier times, I wouldn’t mind making friends but the REALITY is, we don’t live in friendly times. Please…you and your puppy dog stay safe. God bless you and safe travels while on the road. 🙂🙏🦋
I’m so glad you and your puppy weren’t hurt. I don’t understand people that walk their dogs off lead. I’ve had my little dogs attacked unprovoked by off lead dogs. It’s scary to say the least. You have every right to protect yourself and your pup. People are incredibly thoughtless and irresponsible. Please take care and get your rest.
Madame I feel for you! I have reached an age where People can keep their drama! I just want peace and quiet and spend time with my dog. There are so many immature adults out there that just haven’t a clue how to be civil. Enjoy your peace with Marley. FYI I have a sign in my home that reads “The more people I meet to more I like my Dog”. God bless ❤
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s hard when the energy at these gatherings changes, and people don’t respect your space-especially with everything you’re managing after heart surgery. I hope you can find a smaller, more peaceful group to camp with. Just know there are people who care about you and are rooting for your health and happiness
Thanks for the video. When living in a van was "quiet" it was a good thing. Now with ALL of the videos and the fad like popularity, people show up like it's entertainment. People who need to live in a vehicle understand the full spectrum of what it takes and the need for self regulation, rules and respect to survive and find some safety and enjoyment. It if is entertainment or just another large spectacle like a concert or a festival then anyone can show up and the city comes to the campground. Yes you need some peace and quiet to recuperate. Blessings.🙏
Wow. Thank you for sharing. Your experience helps put things in my life into perspective. I'm living in my van and trailer. Trying to figure out where to go. Currently in Seattle area. Would like warmer weather with more sunshine. I have considered going to rtr over the years. But after listening to your report, not quick to formulate that into my plans. Everything you mention is what I'm trying to get away from. Noise and rude people.
Glad I found you what a sweet lady you are you go girl don’t let negativity get you down stay in the light and enjoy doing what you enjoy doing and that’s been freexxx❤️🇬🇧
Lindy, we love you and Marley and that male walking through your camp was downright rude and disrespectful... We hope that doesn't deter you from coming back next year... standing up for yourself was just what was needed... Love ,peace and many blessings Jim and Dawn Turner aka the turners on the road ❤
You ROCK!!! (pun intended!) Love you Lindy! You're a strong woman! Stand your ground. You have every right to your boundaries. It's just sad that everywhere you turn you are having to assert yourself. That gets exhausting! Do what you need to, to take care of yourself! ❤
Good for you ms. Lindy..you are totally right!!! Be careful...as people can not be trusted!! Your boy really loves his Mom!!! I say a prayer for you to have good health!!!!
Lindy, isn't it sad that people's social skills have deteriorated so much? It's actually pretty disgusting! I think you handled the situation with the woman beautifully, and ditto the man with the dog . Great job!!!
You da' bomb, Lindsey. Thank you for showing us how "it' is done. With grace and courage. Thank you!!! For what it's worth, have some wasp spray handy. Shoots out greater than 10'. Gives you and yours a chance to get inside for safety. Don't argue. Just act. You can not reason with crazy.
I'm Hearing more negative things about staying at the LTVA. I've always stayed out on Plomosa Rd and never had a problem. Saw you at the RTR, wanted to say hi but you looked busy with other people so next time. Good to see you up and mobil, Happy Camping!🏕
I like how you stuck up for yourself Lindy. Get some of those hip high folding screens that you set up on the boundaries of your camp. It helps deterr loose animals... and humans, from going into your space uninvited.
Confrontation does wear a person out, especially when you are recuperating. I'm so sorry these things happened to you, when you only came to be around ppl but still enjoy your space. I hope you can find a solution soon so you can be happy. It's great to have ppl speak up to maybe teach rude ppl a lesson. although it hard to know if anything ever sticks!
So sorry for your bad experiences. Unfortunately people everywhere are getting so disrespectful especially to us seniors. Please take care of yourself!
It sounds like he was casing your area for an easy target. I'm glad you're getting out and about but I believe it's too soon for you. Nun ma bizzzzzness but your health is important. My dad needed a year after his 5 bypass surgery to feel better. He too had to get back out there as soon as possible. Be careful out there, get some rest, put a couple extra rocks beside your chair and stay safe.
Sounds like his dog hates him too! I've had a deaf dog, and she never once tried to bite me, or anyone else. You should put up a couple of signs that say "I am CONTAGIOUS! Please stay out of the boundaries of this camp!" I bet that jerk won't walk through your camp again! Lol I 💕
✨I keep hearing Quartside isn’t the same, I honestly am worried about when all of the old-school are no longer with us, I think a lot of it is, that both parents have to work, and the youth are not getting taught to respect the elders, much less pick up a Bible, and then some like the lady you were discussing do not know how to read the room kinda thing, Be careful of who you chose as your pact, not everyone is who they proclaim online. The drug use has gotten out of control, not that I need to tell you, You are very aware of your surroundings, but times have become desperate for many, I’m so glad I’m a country folk in times like this, do what you are up to, and to heck with anyone who doesn’t like it. Be safe.✨
I was camping in N.H. a few years ago and a woman did the same thing! Came into my camp and sat down at my picnic table! There are people that have zero idea of personal space and general respect.
I know how you feel, I'm in my early 70s and it gets hard to move it, and if only those younger could understand disrespect gets them nowhere, especially in the eyes of God. 😿🙏🕊💙
Hi Lindy, thanks for keeping it real, you always let us know exactly what's going on. I am sorry those people were disrespectful and rude. I totally understand your frustration. The older I get, the more I just can't tolerate disrespect. So I tend to stay isolated. And I enjoy it. I have my animals and I keep my human interactions to a minimum. I don't have any specific answers for you. I saw something on Instagram, forgot who posted it. But it said between an action and our response, we have a space, time for a pause. And that really made me think. ...I want my head space to be clear as possible. How to keep it clear, well that is a process for sure. Please try to enjoy your stay there, I hope you meet people that are respectful and not rude. Have a good week Lindy, I am rooting for you🥰🥰🥰
Hi Lindy, so sorry to hear about your experiences. The Bible tells us these things will happen the closer to His return. Keep the Faith! You’re a warrior! I feel bad that you are having a harder time walking. I realize your health and age. My husband, who is only 62 has spinal stenosis. He is still mobile, can drive and do a lot still, but has pain and numbness in his arm and leg. He sucked up his pride and decided to get an electric chair to assist him if we are places he needs to walk, knowing he wouldn’t be able too and he wanted to enjoy things I like to do…walking in nature on paved trails or even in a mall for 2 examples. He is so happy he made that decision. He doesn’t use it all the time, because he wants to keep moving and not give up. Maybe think about looking into this as an option. His comes apart and stows away in my Honda civic trunk. He weighs 325 and is 6’2”, so it’s a sturdy chair, but not big and bulky like some you see. His doctor wrote him a prescription for it and insurance approved it. Praying for you! ❤
Good for you Lindy standing up for yourself. If not, people will crap on you in plain English, especially with seniors. The man with the dog had big cannolis to taunt you like that. He was a coward trying to get away with it when he saw you were alone. And AGREE 100% about the toilet thing. I would never agree to show how I tinkle !!! 🚽🥴
A friend of mine was walking home when she was attacked by a man who knocked her down and used his dog to threaten her while he began to assault her. She was saved by some people who happened upon the scene and chased him off. Be careful of someone you don't know who makes a beeline for you like it sounds like this man did. There was something off about him.
You are 100% correct. People have become scavengers and mongrels. Drama drama drama. Probably my last year after 6, in Q. Don't know where to go. Good move with the rock - I will remember that!
Bottom line also...not EVERYONE likes dogs! My Mother was DEATHLY afraid of dogs no matter how trained your dog is! P.S I ABSOLUTELY L❤VE dogs!! 😁 Marie ❤️
You are right Lindy. There is just no respect these days. Some people think just cause we are getting older that we lost it. We get better and wiser. You take care Lindy and Marley be safe ♥️♥️
Good for you standing up for yourself. You are totally in the right. Your campsite is your domain for the time that you are there and can allow anyone you want to come into it. You are not required to let everyone come in as they please. I do hope your strength comes back. It is hard on a body to go through surgery and the downtime afterwards and it takes a great deal of time and effort to get back to where you were before. I am glad you know your limits and rest when you need to, just never stop getting back out there and moving after you have rested. Stay warm!
I sure hope you get to enjoy the rest of your time there. Disrespectful folks are everywhere sadly. I will pray for some restful and relaxing days ahead. Hugs.
Rude, with or without dog, don’t walk thru someone’s camp site. Second all dogs should be on a leash if not in one’s own fenced yard or a dog park. I see Bob letting his dog run and talks about manners? People just lack common respect for others.
You got that right! That,s disrespectful! That is so rude! I love in vernal, Utah and this is the most rude people I have ever meat. I have a wolf dog and she,s on two harnesses big color three leashes, people at park never put their dogs on leashes. That,s rude. Linda, be careful sweety. You are a sweet person.
ELDERS always get respect in the LAKOTA ways and INDIGENOUS ways.. THIS is SAD..SO SORRY..U are a smart devotee nomad in the COMMUNITY.. LUV YU and your vids. U & Jason ROCK.. kisses for MARLEY.. keep on!
Hi precious sweet lady! You look really good! Some people have no shame or decency! He was definitely disrespectful!!!! Good for you! I’d have probably thrown boiling water! That guy is nuts!!! Poor dog! I don’t care for negative people either! She had no right to treat you that way! I’m glad you told that lady to get out of your camp! You don’t need that stress at all! I love and pray for you!🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️
I'm sorry this happened Lindy. Unfortunately, rudeness has become an epidemic. Sometimes just ignoring the offender works best with overly aggressive people or simply excusing yourself from the offending person rather than getting into a confrontation. Many people become violent these days. Your health and your life are what's important.
I lived on Maui for 12yrs. Seems people were Always Approaching, esp on the beach. I would tell them I was MEDITATING, and most often, 95% of the time, they would walk away. Try it. @l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428
Good for you, I totally agree with you!! But the person who was sitting with you, that this woman stopped to talk, should have told this woman to LEAVE! I personally believe that this is intentional disrespect to American women of our age in America, especially by other Americans between the ages of 30 to 50 years of age. I don't believe in cowering down to bullies, period.
Lindy dear.....you are not wrong. There is an unprecedented amount of disrespectful people out there in our day and age. Bad upbringing and parenting!!! 😮
LOL I'm SO glad you changed "gentleman" to male human being. I get so sick of people always calling even criminals, "gentleman" or "ladies" I think things are different. People are ruder, entitled, and mean.
it's the worst when you hear a police officer call them ladies and gentleman with the upmost affection. insanity
Many years ago on Oprah oe something explain the details of a knife attack....went something like "the gentleman placed the knife in my head".
I understand her not wanting to be disrespected. Walking away from idiots is the best option for your sanity and safety.
When I say “gentleman” I sometimes add “…and I use the term loosely”. Same with the word “lady” 😄
Yep
Please be careful. These type of ignorant people can become unhinged.
TELL ME ABOUT IT! I have my own story! SMH! 🤨
Going near someone's space is disrespectful. You literally have to go out of your way to walk into others.
Am proud of you for being so feisty ...going on 79 and don't have time to suffer rudeness
There's plenty of room out there, for all. They don't need to be in anyone elses space uninvited. I'm with you, Lindy. ❤
This year is The worst.
Sometimes, we need to separate ourselves from people. Your followers will follow you even if you live in a tiny home or in an apartment.

I'm praying for you 🙏
Becareful! I had this happen and it turned out others had seen this guy and he was scoping your camp out to see if there was anything worth stealing!
That's what I was thinking. This wasn't disrespect. This was aggression.
What ever happened to scoping a camp from a distance using binoculars? Why aggravate the person you're scoping out. Lindy knows what he looks like if stuff did come up missing. She should drive thru his camp and get a video of him if she can. Some people don't learn manners until it happens to them
@@sandyallen1523 He was checking to see how she would react. I agree she should get a photo or video of him if possible.
I'm sure he was casing the site. Get out your cell phone & get him on video.
@RetiredFreeBird he might have been looking for something someone had stolen from his site. You would assume it was taken by someone close by
Times have definitely changed… people have no respect anymore ☹️

Quartzite is becoming less safe, I no longer go there in last 2 years.
maybe the local people should stop catering to them and tell them to get lost. those people with a bad attitude need to go away
I’m glad you spoke up, Lindy! I don’t understand why so many people are so rude these days.
I was taught to respect elders, now I am one, do not know what happened to manners.
@ - I know. I worry about how bad it will get in the coming years when the children of these rude people become adults.
That is scary. Lord help us.

Most little children and all animals I adore. But adult humans…not a fan. Some are very nice …but being I don’t get out much…I’d rather just hang with animals. They’re so drama …and no complaining.
Have many health issues…but just pain and lots neuropathy and fatigue. I’m talking fibro exhaustion. So I’m better alone. I talk to my cats and the squirrels, and the opossums,and the raccoons, and the birds…they get along..and they trust me…and I trust them.
You take care. Stay away from rude, overbearing adults who are noisy and whiny. You and Marley take good care of yourselves. Stay safe. Hugs. ❤️❤️🌟🌟🌈🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm beginning to feel that way, too. It's sad, we're retired now. ❤
Ms. Lindy you are recovering from a major surgery. It takes time to repair tissue, make muscle and blood cells. It also takes an emotional toll. So much happened and is still happening. Give yourself time, space, and acknowledge when you have had enough to take a break, have a rest, listen to your favorite music, put a cold wash cloth over your eyes and be on ignore. Take good care yourself ❤
Doing just that
We've been sitting here in our spot since September 1st. The Rainbow Group came in here and tried to run us out. They even threatened to camp on top of us. Needless to say we didn't budge. They learned real fast that it's first come first serve out here. The entitlement out here this season is crazy
Everyone has noticed.
Disrespect is so annoying! Take care of you and Marley and stay safe.🙏🏻
So Sorry you have encountered such negativity and over bearing rudeness...I'm proud of YOU.. For your peace of mind and body, I think it's time for a change of scenery for You and Marley...❤❤
Oh, Lindy 🫂 I know the feeling of violation. Or those who feel they can be disrespectful. As for negativity, that drains the soul. To me, it's more tiring. 🙏🏻 you find more peaceful energy and recovery along your journey.
I always keep to myself, I never set up any type of camp outside my van, I stay in places that don’t really invite a camping atmosphere and I rarely speak to folks unless I have to.
It’s safer that way plus there’s little to no drama.
I would be careful if I were you. Yes, I agree we should be respected but I have seen more rude behavior than nice behavior out of the road.
And I’m merely an old woman. Due to finances, I have to be out on the road 6 months out of the year.
I’m not out there to socialize. If we lived in friendlier times, I wouldn’t mind making friends but the REALITY is, we don’t live in friendly times.
Please…you and your puppy dog stay safe.
God bless you and safe travels while on the road. 🙂🙏🦋
I’m so glad you and your puppy weren’t hurt. I don’t understand people that walk their dogs off lead. I’ve had my little dogs attacked unprovoked by off lead dogs. It’s scary to say the least. You have every right to protect yourself and your pup. People are incredibly thoughtless and irresponsible. Please take care and get your rest.
Madame I feel for you! I have reached an age where People can keep their drama! I just want peace and quiet and spend time with my dog. There are so many immature adults out there that just haven’t a clue how to be civil. Enjoy your peace with Marley. FYI I have a sign in my home that reads “The more people I meet to more I like my Dog”. God bless ❤
Mine says: My dog and I talk sh1t about you. 😂😂😂
when I camp...I do not want to be near people. sometimes you have to ignore the idiots.
Thanks
Thank you for you super thanks support. LINDY
Sorry this happened to you, glad you stood your ground. People have no respect for others now days.
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s hard when the energy at these gatherings changes, and people don’t respect your space-especially with everything you’re managing after heart surgery. I hope you can find a smaller, more peaceful group to camp with. Just know there are people who care about you and are rooting for your health and happiness
Thanks for the video. When living in a van was "quiet" it was a good thing. Now with ALL of the videos and the fad like popularity, people show up like it's entertainment. People who need to live in a vehicle understand the full spectrum of what it takes and the need for self regulation, rules and respect to survive and find some safety and enjoyment. It if is entertainment or just another large spectacle like a concert or a festival then anyone can show up and the city comes to the campground. Yes you need some peace and quiet to recuperate. Blessings.🙏
Someone there in the USA PLEASE provide a safe, quiet place for this lady to camp. There must be someone out there with acreage and a place for her.
I despise rude behavior in a person. There's no sense in it
Captain Call…lonesome dove. Loved him
Wow. Thank you for sharing.
Your experience helps put things in my life into perspective.
I'm living in my van and trailer. Trying to figure out where to go.
Currently in Seattle area. Would like warmer weather with more sunshine.
I have considered going to rtr over the years. But after listening to your report, not quick to formulate that into my plans. Everything you mention is what I'm trying to get away from. Noise and rude people.
I can’t wait until the sun comes out. I’m sitting in a parking lot in Burien under the grey skies.
Good for you. I understand completely. People seem to think they are entitled and the world revolves around them. No thank you to that. ❤
Put up a sign in your camp "drama free, space" lol
Glad I found you what a sweet lady you are you go girl don’t let negativity get you down stay in the light and enjoy doing what you enjoy doing and that’s been freexxx❤️🇬🇧
You need to keep your sanity.
You and Marly take care and be safe and healthy.🌺🌿
Lindy, we love you and Marley and that male walking through your camp was downright rude and disrespectful... We hope that doesn't deter you from coming back next year... standing up for yourself was just what was needed...
Love ,peace and many blessings
Jim and Dawn Turner aka the turners on the road ❤
You ROCK!!! (pun intended!) Love you Lindy! You're a strong woman! Stand your ground. You have every right to your boundaries. It's just sad that everywhere you turn you are having to assert yourself. That gets exhausting! Do what you need to, to take care of yourself! ❤
Good for you ms. Lindy..you are totally right!!! Be careful...as people can not be trusted!! Your boy really loves his Mom!!! I say a prayer for you to have good health!!!!
Lindy, isn't it sad that people's social skills have deteriorated so much? It's actually pretty disgusting! I think you handled the situation with the woman beautifully, and ditto the man with the dog . Great job!!!
You da' bomb, Lindsey. Thank you for showing us how "it' is done. With grace and courage. Thank you!!! For what it's worth, have some wasp spray handy. Shoots out greater than 10'. Gives you and yours a chance to get inside for safety. Don't argue. Just act. You can not reason with crazy.
I'm Hearing more negative things about staying at the LTVA. I've always stayed out on Plomosa Rd and never had a problem. Saw you at the RTR, wanted to say hi but you looked busy with other people so next time. Good to see you up and mobil, Happy Camping!🏕
I love how brave you are and stand up for yourself. Take care.❤
I like how you stuck up for yourself Lindy.
Get some of those hip high folding screens that you set up on the boundaries of your camp.
It helps deterr loose animals... and humans, from going into your space uninvited.
Confrontation does wear a person out, especially when you are recuperating. I'm so sorry these things happened to you, when you only came to be around ppl but still enjoy your space. I hope you can find a solution soon so you can be happy. It's great to have ppl speak up to maybe teach rude ppl a lesson. although it hard to know if anything ever sticks!
So sorry for your bad experiences. Unfortunately people everywhere are getting so disrespectful especially to us seniors. Please take care of yourself!
It sounds like he was casing your area for an easy target. I'm glad you're getting out and about but I believe it's too soon for you. Nun ma bizzzzzness but your health is important. My dad needed a year after his 5 bypass surgery to feel better. He too had to get back out there as soon as possible. Be careful out there, get some rest, put a couple extra rocks beside your chair and stay safe.
You go girl! Good for you. You’re an inspiration to the rest of us. Keep it up ❤
Sounds like his dog hates him too! I've had a deaf dog, and she never once tried to bite me, or anyone else.
You should put up a couple of signs that say "I am CONTAGIOUS! Please stay out of the boundaries of this camp!"
I bet that jerk won't walk through your camp again! Lol I 💕
Good for you. Don't let anyone get away with shitty behavior.
✨I keep hearing Quartside isn’t the same, I honestly am worried about when all of the old-school are no longer with us, I think a lot of it is, that both parents have to work, and the youth are not getting taught to respect the elders, much less pick up a Bible, and then some like the lady you were discussing do not know how to read the room kinda thing, Be careful of who you chose as your pact, not everyone is who they proclaim online. The drug use has gotten out of control, not that I need to tell you, You are very aware of your surroundings, but times have become desperate for many, I’m so glad I’m a country folk in times like this, do what you are up to, and to heck with anyone who doesn’t like it. Be safe.✨
I was camping in N.H. a few years ago and a woman did the same thing! Came into my camp and sat down at my picnic table! There are people that have zero idea of personal space and general respect.
I'm glad you standing up for yourself cuz people can be search jerks be safe 🙏
Sorry that those incidents happened to you mom !!!
I know how you feel, I'm in my early 70s and it gets hard to move it, and if only those younger could understand disrespect gets them nowhere, especially in the eyes of God. 😿🙏🕊💙
Hi Lindy, thanks for keeping it real, you always let us know exactly what's going on. I am sorry those people were disrespectful and rude. I totally understand your frustration. The older I get, the more I just can't tolerate disrespect. So I tend to stay isolated. And I enjoy it. I have my animals and I keep my human interactions to a minimum. I don't have any specific answers for you. I saw something on Instagram, forgot who posted it. But it said between an action and our response, we have a space, time for a pause. And that really made me think. ...I want my head space to be clear as possible. How to keep it clear, well that is a process for sure. Please try to enjoy your stay there, I hope you meet people that are respectful and not rude. Have a good week Lindy, I am rooting for you🥰🥰🥰
Hi Lindy, so sorry to hear about your experiences. The Bible tells us these things will happen the closer to His return. Keep the Faith! You’re a warrior!
I feel bad that you are having a harder time walking. I realize your health and age. My husband, who is only 62 has spinal stenosis. He is still mobile, can drive and do a lot still, but has pain and numbness in his arm and leg. He sucked up his pride and decided to get an electric chair to assist him if we are places he needs to walk, knowing he wouldn’t be able too and he wanted to enjoy things I like to do…walking in nature on paved trails or even in a mall for 2 examples. He is so happy he made that decision. He doesn’t use it all the time, because he wants to keep moving and not give up. Maybe think about looking into this as an option. His comes apart and stows away in my Honda civic trunk. He weighs 325 and is 6’2”, so it’s a sturdy chair, but not big and bulky like some you see. His doctor wrote him a prescription for it and insurance approved it. Praying for you! ❤
Good for you Lindy standing up for yourself. If not, people will crap on you in plain English, especially with seniors. The man with the dog had big cannolis to taunt you like that. He was a coward trying to get away with it when he saw you were alone. And AGREE 100% about the toilet thing. I would never agree to show how I tinkle !!! 🚽🥴
A friend of mine was walking home when she was attacked by a man who knocked her down and used his dog to threaten her while he began to assault her. She was saved by some people who happened upon the scene and chased him off. Be careful of someone you don't know who makes a beeline for you like it sounds like this man did. There was something off about him.
If you are uncomfortable move. It is not worth the aggravation!
Lindy, I’m so sorry people are being so disrespectful. You be careful and keep a close eye on sweet Marley. ❤
Please be careful and breathe! Take a nap too! ❤️
You are 100% correct. People have become scavengers and mongrels. Drama drama drama. Probably my last year after 6, in Q. Don't know where to go. Good move with the rock - I will remember that!
Sending you lots of understanding, hope you are. Feeling much better soon
Bottom line also...not EVERYONE likes dogs! My Mother was DEATHLY afraid of dogs no matter how trained your dog is! P.S I ABSOLUTELY
L❤VE dogs!! 😁 Marie ❤️
Glad to see you.
Hey Marie👋🏻
It's common sense that you don't walk your dog through another's camp. That's etiquette. People and the dog can get injured.
He's a jerk. Stay safe!
Glad you stood up for yourself - sounds like this dude is really out of touch with reality.
It’s getting more and more dangerous out there, Lindy. Be careful.
Now I know why you've been so heavily on my mind lately! ❤
You are right Lindy. There is just no respect these days. Some people think just cause we are getting older that we lost it. We get better and wiser. You take care Lindy and Marley be safe ♥️♥️
Good for you standing up for yourself. You are totally in the right. Your campsite is your domain for the time that you are there and can allow anyone you want to come into it. You are not required to let everyone come in as they please. I do hope your strength comes back. It is hard on a body to go through surgery and the downtime afterwards and it takes a great deal of time and effort to get back to where you were before. I am glad you know your limits and rest when you need to, just never stop getting back out there and moving after you have rested. Stay warm!
Thanks! I appreciate your support.
I sure hope you get to enjoy the rest of your time there. Disrespectful folks are everywhere sadly. I will pray for some restful and relaxing days ahead. Hugs.
I'm surrounded by friends who have my back.
That gut sense was right on mamm. God gives us that for a reason.
Welcome to this world we live in today!😊
These days I do my best to steer clear of humans.....its sad. So sorry, you certainly don't need the stress.
The disrespectful are everywhere. We can’t run or hide. It’s awful. Stay safe.
You're doing great , I agree people today aren't raised with any respect not all but most .😊
Rude, with or without dog, don’t walk thru someone’s camp site. Second all dogs should be on a leash if not in one’s own fenced yard or a dog park. I see Bob letting his dog run and talks about manners?
People just lack common respect for others.
He was testing you to see how close he can get and what you have!!!
You got that right! That,s disrespectful! That is so rude! I love in vernal, Utah and this is the most rude people I have ever meat. I have a wolf dog and she,s on two harnesses big color three leashes, people at park never put their dogs on leashes. That,s rude. Linda, be careful sweety. You are a sweet person.
A little respect goes a damn long way any day! Bless you.
Keep being you 💕
ELDERS always get respect in the LAKOTA ways and INDIGENOUS ways.. THIS is SAD..SO SORRY..U are a smart devotee nomad in the COMMUNITY.. LUV YU and your vids. U & Jason ROCK.. kisses for MARLEY.. keep on!
Thank you for watching.
Hi precious sweet lady! You look really good!
Some people have no shame or decency! He was definitely disrespectful!!!!
Good for you! I’d have probably thrown boiling water!
That guy is nuts!!! Poor dog!
I don’t care for negative people either! She had no right to treat you that way! I’m glad you told that lady to get out of your camp!
You don’t need that stress at all! I love and pray for you!🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️
You don’t have to stay if you’re uncomfortable, I agree no one needs the drama and disrespect. Your subscribers surely will understand and support you
You were correct in your standing up for yourself.😮Amen sister
What a jerk, he was wrong for sure. Open space camp is supposed to be fun and relaxing. Ignorance is everywhere 😢😢
I'm sorry this happened Lindy. Unfortunately, rudeness has become an epidemic. Sometimes just ignoring the offender works best with overly aggressive people or simply excusing yourself from the offending person rather than getting into a confrontation. Many people become violent these days. Your health and your life are what's important.
That's exactly why they do it. We can not live like this as s society. God takes care of me. I do not let fear dictate how I live.
I lived on Maui for 12yrs. Seems people were Always Approaching, esp on the beach. I would tell them I was MEDITATING, and most often, 95% of the time, they would walk away. Try it. @l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428
❤Please stay safe Ms. Lindy
Good for you, I totally agree with you!! But the person who was sitting with you, that this woman stopped to talk, should have told this woman to LEAVE! I personally believe that this is intentional disrespect to American women of our age in America, especially by other Americans between the ages of 30 to 50 years of age. I don't believe in cowering down to bullies, period.
NO CAMPGROUND MANNERS!!! I CAN'T STAND IT!!! Marie ❤️
Lindy dear.....you are not wrong. There is an unprecedented amount of disrespectful people out there in our day and age. Bad upbringing and parenting!!! 😮
