    Eight miles up a dirt road into the outback, haven't seen another vehicle in ages, and uses her blinker turning right into the campsite! Good habits are hard to break. A true American traveler, Chantal. Well done.

    You're out in the middle of nowhere with no other people around and you used your signal to turn. You're so well trained.

      I noticed that too.

      I do this too. It's better to maintain good driving habits then there's less of a chance of forgetting when it's necessary for safety etc.

      That’s funny. I don’t use my turn signal if there isn’t anyone near me who needs the notice.

    Have you thought of getting a mesh screen that attaches to your van with magnets to get ready for summer days? There are also ones for your windows. Another channel I watch of a female car camper spends a lot of time in the southeast and she uses them to fight mosquitoes. Bugs are the part I hate of summer. And especially with puppers. It would allow you to have the windows and door open without the bugs. Love watching you and Joey on Sunday mornings. Stay safe!

    I used to live outside of Seligman. My youngest son graduated from Seligman High School. His class had a total of 13 people who graduated. The school is K-12. It's beautiful out there and I wish I was still there. We had a horse ranch off of Jolly Road. It's in the Juniper Mountains, looks like where you were staying. The only downside was having to go to either Kingman or Prescott to do main grocery shopping and haul water for horses. We got our drinking water from Kingman. I envy you and your time there. One day if my health gets no worse, I'm going to take my camper van and go back.

    I was looking at property for sale in that area. I found a lot of property for real cheap. No electric or water although the property I was looking at did have access to water you had to haul it. No regulations so you could camp all year round if you wanted to. Plan to do The nomad thing when I retire but would kind of like a place that is mine even if it is just park.

    • @Weezieweeks
      @Weezieweeks 3 роки тому +1

      Just make sure to check regulations. I have seen some posts in Arizona Camping FB sites that Coconino County is more lenient than Yavapai County, with regards to camping on your property.

    When you squeaked Joey's toy all three of my fur babies came running in my room. It was hilarious 🤣

    Perfect balance of dialogue and scenery. Good job. Just curious, do you ever have trouble with mice when you're parked for more than a couple days in one spot? What do you do about them if you do?
