    My roots come from the South (my grandparents came from Appalacia) and I agree having grown up on the West Coast where life is so very different in every conceivable way. Yet the land felt so familiar in AL & GA when I was stationed there in the military many years ago. My DNA recognized "home" even though I grew up with surf culture in sunny California, it tragic that we feel the need to stereotype each other when we all have the same needs and desires as human beings.....good upon you for opening your mind and heart, Carolyn. John Lewis is one of my favorite heros, thanks for mentioning him.

    I imagine you will never read this but I need to say how I agree with your thoughts on Mother Earth. I always retreat to the outdoors and nature when I'm stressed or upset but I try to get out as often as possible to just maintain sanity, lol. It has always helped me much more than any religion and we need to protect her as well as we possibly can. I agree with you on most all of your views and appreciate hearing a different point of view from what I usually get here in the very red Midwest, lol. Looks like a very peaceful place to visit. Oh my gosh, love that froggy chorus! Sadie is such a beautiful sweetheart, love her so much! Great video. Thanks for sharing with us.

    Alabama here. I just started watching your channel and appreciate your honesty about your growth. At 70, I've experienced a lot of it myself. I was a kid in the worst of the race troubles in Birmingham and have grown tremendously over the years. I like what you said about some don't grow but you do..same here and grateful for it. Thanks for the many good things you said about Alabama.. it's far from perfect but has come a long way. New generations move us farther and farther away from the sad history you spoke of. I may not live to see it but I have hope for us, maybe because as a rule, Southerners love people and most have good hearts. Anyways, I'm looking forward to watching your channel. :-)

    That is Spanish Moss hanging in the trees. It's an air plant and just hangs there. However, it covers the leaves and cuts down on photosynthesis, so the branch eventually dies. After enough branches die the tree dies. Yes, it takes a few years. I hate the stuff!!

    The Princess and the Pea. A story by Hans Christian Andersen. A prince insists on marrying a real princess. When a woman comes to his door maintaining that she is a real princess, the prince's mother tests her by burying a pea in the bed she is offered for the night, covered by twenty mattresses and twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses. and then ordering the woman to sleep on the mattresses. In the morning, the princess tells her hosts that she endured a sleepless night, kept awake by something hard in the bed that she is certain has bruised her. The prince's family realizes she is a princess since no one but a real princess could be so delicate. The two are happily married, and the story ends with the pea being placed in a museum, where it might still remain. (And not Sleeping Beauty. That is a different girl forced to her bed because the bad witch did not get invited to a party. lol) So it is no wonder that some women grow up thinking they are victims or need rescuing. Luckily, women like me just smile and enjoy the fantasy that it is.

    I remember having to hunt for overnight spots in Alabama. I pulled up a road and there was a perfect, flat spot to park. Out of the way by a murky looking pond. In the morning I sat there behind the rig having my coffee. Perfect. Quiet but for the birds singing. All of a sudden, the loudest roar came out of that pond. I was up and in, in seconds flat!! I didn't know alligator's roar. lol. Safe travels. I love your bravery.

    I completely felt your pain in the beginning! I was just in Tuscaloosa to watch my niece graduate, and you would think there would be plenty of camping in mid December, but I had the same experience at Payne Lake! All the electrical sites were taken, and in the primitive area, all the sites were very unlevel. If you ever get back down there though, I highly recommend the Tannehill State Forest. Lots of history and pretty trails and you can get water and electric for $25. It was fairly empty and I got a nice spot next to the creek, but if it was during the summer, it would be an absolute cluster! The sites are really on top of each other, but being Winter, it was pretty open. AnyWho I’m gonna go back to watching the rest of the video. I just wanted to share that and say hello! Safe travels.😊

    I had a giggling fit when you called it "lady's beard". It really tickled me. Heck, why not call it "gay man's beard". Ohhh, so silly. Whatever it's called, yes, it is beautiful. Great video.

    Princes and the pea - A story by Hans Christian Andersen. A prince insists on marrying a real princess. When a woman comes to his door maintaining that she is a real princess, the prince's mother tests her by burying a pea under a huge stack of mattresses and then ordering the woman to sleep on the mattresses.

    I just learned something about myself. I think I have confirmation bias, too. I didn't know what it was called, and it has been dragging me down. I live in an area where there are a lot of poor and homeless people. I feel bad for those people, but it also disgusts me because it makes the city trashy and dirty. I find myself looking for confirmation, when I'd rather focus on the beautiful.

    Spanish moss.
    Sadie always looks like she's on duty when she's on a leash, from that camera angle anyway.😅
    It's a sycamore tree, I think. Big leaves. I used to have to rake them. Now I live in the woods, we don't even bother. I rake my driveway twice a year and let nature take care of the rest.❤

      Hi Sky, it's all about priorities. Sure my gas mileage sucks, but I also haven't been stuck since I got them. I spend as much time as possible off paved roads, so for me it's worth every cent.
      Best of luck in your adventures! Thanks for watching

    Many years ago, women weren't allowed to vote. I am half polish. My Dad was polish. His parent came from Poland to escape the Nazis. My Grand Dad worked in the coal mines in PA. My grandparents couldn't speak English. My Dad fought in WW11 before I was born. He was hit by a piece of a bomb. He survived or I wouldn't be here. A lot of people had it hard over the years. We shouldn't have all these homeless people.

      @@CarolynsRVLife We should be so grateful for this country where women are free to follow their dreams. I came from Brasil many years ago and built a fabulous life for myself including winning an Emmy. NEVER ONCE I felt oppressed, discriminated upon, on the contrary,
      this country gave so many opportunities and the freedom as woman to be whatever I wanted to be. The feeling of second class citizen is a personal feeling and not a reality. We have women in high positions from all levels and paid high salaries like man do. Please be fair and please stop reactivating the sentiment of victimhood. You have so much so offer Carolyn! Be grateful instead and thank God we do not live in countries where women are really treated as second class citizens. God bless you.❤️

      Lmao.. right. Ask #Kate Cox and #BrittanyWatts how grateful they are to live in the good ole U S of A. Our Supreme Court has actual sexual predators, and half the country thinks electing a confirmed rapist to run the free world is perfectly fine. Ask the millions of women who've been assaulted and raped without any repercussions for the rapist. Ask Chanel Miller, Christine Blasi ford, E. Jean Carroll, Anita Hill. Ask any woman who works in make dominated fields or who works online. HELL ask Hillary Clinton how grateful she is! We are NOT equal. Stop drinking the patriarchal kool-aid
