Wynstons growl in the beginning…..so cute. Praying for CA. I lost my house and everything to a fire….I know that devastated feeling. Please stay safe.
I can't imagine. I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss.
Your little home on wheels is set up so pretty and comfy 💕
Oh thank you so much 😘
Hi Amanda, Prayers for everyone suffering from and battling these horrible fires! Love Wynston's new vibrato howl. He never ceases to amaze us! 🙏💙
Absolutely. Glad you are safe, Julie. ❤️🩷
The wind wasn’t too bad this morning but by early afternoon it was really bad. I hope it’s better tomorrow
The afternoons always seem to be the worst, which sucks for me because that's when I like to be outside.
I've always said that bacon should be treated as a condiment... and your salad just proves it! That vibrato tho! 🤩
Ooooo yes, John. Bacon is life, and Wynston would agree.
Wynston sure can tell a tall take. He had much to say.
I love the wind but it isn't very pleasant when it is mixed with dirt.
That's a great spot for the hat, but if you don't want it resting on the brim.... .hmmm
Well you could hang it from a scarf wrapped around the brim and attacch the two ends of the scarf to your van wall or window. Or even a macrame hat hanger. You could even use a small macrame plant holder as a hat hanger. Sometimes I've seen them at thriftstores. Dollartree could have them too. Or you can make your own.
You could hang it off the back of a seat but that may get in the way and not be protected.
Great ideas, Nancy. Thanks!
Great spot for your hat 👍😁
Safe travels.
Thanks!
I just have to let you know Amanda, I so look forward to your videos. There's so much ugly stuff in the world and I was following politics and I'm so disgusted by everything.... I just look forward to a few youtubers out in quartzsite that I follow. And that is all my spare time when I'm bored. I just want to listen and watch you, travels with Dottie, and a couple of others. I can't remember their names right now but it just gives me peace. I just love what you guys do and I just connect. I'm not a full-time traveling person but I have an RV and my husband and I in our spare time do a lot of it so I kind of relate and it just gives me peace to see you living the life you live and you're just such a level-headed cool ass woman. Anyway... Thank you for the videos
I love Rob from Travels with Dottie! He and I are good friends. I appreciate your kind words, Ann. There is so much ugly stuff in the world - you're absolutely right about that. I've even been getting a lot of terrible comments from ugly people, so your comment is much appreciated. ❤️😍🥰
I love it when Wynston sings!!!! ❤❤❤❤
He's such a ham.
I grew up in Oklahoma & take the wind in consideration with every outdoor activity! It can be a real pain! Couldn't quit thinking about the cucumber salad so, bought the ingredients today & have the cakes, seasonings & dressing marinating in the fridge. Yum!!!❤
*cakes not cakes😂
This is ann again , I forgot to add that I'm from Southeastern, Arizona. I used to live in bisbee for years, I know the Wilcox area and all of that part of the state so I got to kick out of seeing you guys hang out down there.
It's such a unique, fun part of Arizona.
Maybe put some soft padding in the bottom of where u have it that should protect the brim
Good idea.
Another great video, your dog is so cool, nice hat, yes the wind bites, hopefully it goes away soon😊
Winston is so cute. He looks so tiny. I have a teacup chihuahua who's 4 pounds, but he looks smaller than my little girl. I'm glad you had a good time during the holidays, but I know you're glad to be back to your routine. Hugs to you and your baby boy.
Wynston is actually 9.5lbs!
I just drove my last 4hrs on 10 yesterday to get here and the wind on the freeway was so difficult to handle my roadtrek, it wore me out, stopped acouple times to take breaks. I've been dealing with wind n winter weather driving in it for 6 days..its exhausting. Glad Im done driving. If u need any extra hands to do stuff for meetup let me know, I'll do wht I can.
Driving in the wind is exhausting!
@AdventuringWithAmanda yes it is
Yes…..please be careful with all the wind. I live in Havasu and it is blowing really hard.❤
Check out the cowboy hat holder for your roof. The holder is a pre-shaped wire holder that you attach to the roof. Works great a must for the true cowgirl!
Cool! I will look into that!
Clever hacks with the beads!
Wynston snort 🤗🫶🏼 🐾 Love watching your videos. We are getting closer and closer each day to the start of our own journey. 🤘🏼✨
Exciting!!
Nice video
Thanks! 😊
Hi Amanda wyston 😊is so cute
Thank you!
A thought on the hat storage: maybe a little ceiling net above Wynston's bed to keep it from getting crushed or crimped?
Yes, I was thinking about adding a cargo net.
Hi Amanda
I have my hat held up with a small circle zip tie running through the top of back seat belt. I used a cord to tie onto hat to the zip tie. Hope this can help. Safe travels.
Hello Amanda, liked your video!. I did make the salad today, and enjoyed it very much. You are definitely right about the cheese &bacon. You must not leave them in overnight. I only made 1/2 salad, and yes it was yummy 😋. Cheers and stay safe 🤗
Thank you!
I thought the same thing with the fires, pray for them people 🙏
That’s a beautiful spot!!
Nice❤❤❤ Your weather is interesting; 40 degree difference in a day is difficult, imo. That would require wardrobe changes or on n off jackets. Your winds seem awful. Hope that all gets settled down. I m buying cucumbers today, lol. Thanks much n kisses to Wynston❤❤❤❤❤❤
The weather IS interesting. From shorts and t-shirt to warm clothing everyday. But I'm not complaining!
Sing it buddy he’s such a handsome boy ♥ 👍😁🫶❣ yeah sometimes car repairs can get expensive sometimes or overwhelming,,,,,I’m happy you have a friend to help with that stuff oh my gosh 3 rd day of winds out here 😑there’s also a valley fever 🤒 going around my heart ♥ is breaking for those people that have lost their homes too yeah Amanda it is concerning like how you said we just never know ….I always try to keep up with the whether just like you do I have asthma so that helps if I have to do my machine ….I bought a new 2025 pocket calendar I have a journal too journaling is relaxing ☺ great video Amanda I hope you have a good nights sleep 😴 🫶
Tucson was crazy windy on Wednesday!
It's been crazy!
Hoping u do ok in the wind & the smoke from the fires doesn't get too bad. Stay safe Amanda. Wynston's special howl at the beginning was impressive!
Smoke was bad the other day but thankfully it's dissipated. Thank you!
Two Flat parallel fabric or belt staps anchored side by side and the hat tucked between. Maybe on the ceiling, so it's out of your way.
Brilliant idea!
❤❤
High wind here too ❤
Hi Amanda
Looks nice there, pretty cold here in WI. Burr
Oh yes. I'm very familiar with Wisconsin and Minnesota cold!
Where is the larger weather station fitting in? We like the large print appearance.
It has legs, so I just stand it wherever when I'm camped. I put it away when I'm driving.
Dumb question, dont have to answer,but while in Quartzsite, where do you dump your waste? I mean both,pee and poop.
Amanda, hello beautiful lady, Could I ask your thoughts about getting power station on Temu? By the way Love all your content.
❤️🥰❤️🥳👋🐶🩷
Will your hat fit on the headrest of your passenger seat? I'm not sure if you hve one, but if you do.
I tried that, and the headrest is a bit too big. 😫
180000 people had to evacuate L.A. in the last 3 days many with nothing to go back to.
No doubt some will show up at Quartzsite eventually.
I didn’t even go outside because of the dust, yuck
It is so yucky.
Will your hat fit on the headrest of your passenger seat?
The headrest is BARELY too big 😫
