  • In this video I depart my camp and head towards the trees. A quick drive through the town of Ash Fork, AZ on old Route 66, resupply in Williams, AZ, then into the trees. I cook up dinner on my camp stove and enjoy serenity of the woods.
    Thank you for being here.
    *My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
    Thanks for watching!

    Great ending, been missing the flute. The family and I (wife, 2 daughters, 5 and 6) camped North of Williams in the forest back in 72. We were on the way back to the East Coast from a 3 month work stint in Long Beach. Being ready to get home, we left camp and drove non stop , except for restroom, gas and food back home. The entire trip, out, back, was made in a Dodge pick up truck (standard cab, of course). Little close family time for sure, but a lot of memories in that trip.

Best of all, no signs, traffic, noise pollution and other of life’s chaos.

    Hi Brian, I'm a more or less newbie to your channel. Glad you stopped in Williams. Bill Williams was friends with my Dad when he was a young man. Bill was married to Mae, a midwife, who delivered my father when he was born in St. Paul, MN in 1913. Bill and Mae moved to the northern AZ mountains when Bill was in his late thirties I believe. Bill brought the power lines up the mountain so the settlement had electricity. I have lots of photos of my Dad and Bill. He stayed with them after riding the rails to Flagstaff in the early 30's. My Dad got a job down at the Grand Canyon Hotel when he was 17 but spent his days off with Williams' family. Just a bit of history for you. Thanks for sharing your life with your viewers. We appreciate your videos more than you know.

I went to the Grand Canyon and viewed the canyon from lookout points around the Visitor's Center. Seeing it for the first time was great and beautiful colors were amazing. Well take care and as always, "Enjoy The Adventure." 😀✌👍
