good morning from south orange county california if you watch my last video you saw that i had
taken a trip up to big bear lake california with my mom so we just recently completed that trip
and i am down here at my favorite campsite it is time to leave california i've really enjoyed
my stay here i enjoyed spending time up in the sierra that was
awesome and i had some good quality time with family however it is time to move on today i
need to get this camper and ship shape and my rig my truck and the inside cab of my truck is just
filthy everything's dirty everything's covered in dust and i just need to get it road ready for the
next leg of my summer adventures so that is what i'm going to do today and i'm going to bring you
with me i'm also going to bring you with me on the road as we set out to our next destination
but yeah let's go ahead and get started with getting this place cleaned up
first thing on the agenda is to get the outside of this baby washed we are headed to the car wash
my hair got a little wild there at the car wash from uh sweat
and water it is time to head back to camp and get the camper cleaned up
looking sharp and ready to roll
need some food but fridge is all cleaned
up she is looking sharp outside and then
i'd say the rig and i are ready for this next leg
of my summer adventures i'm super excited and stoked to get back on the road i'm picking up
with you several hours later i went out for a beautiful dinner in laguna beach
it was awesome i went with some family and it was my send-off dinner as i get ready to head
out once again that's probably the hardest part of living on the road full time for me
is when i do get comfortable someplace with family or friends and spend a little time there it always
comes time to say goodbye again and it's always a little bit bittersweet but i do know that i'll be
back and once i'm out there again i remember why i do this and it all comes back really quickly and
you know i have no regrets so i am going to be getting to bed early tonight because i will be
leaving bright and early in the morning probably about 3 a.m to get through the desert before it
gets too hot so i will say goodnight here and i will see you all in the morning good night
good morning i got a little bit later start than i had anticipated i left at 4 a.m instead of 3 a.m
the sun is just starting to come up well on my way to wyoming
thunderstorms at the walmart parking lot which is my home for the night well i made it to my
destination for the evening which is the walmart parking lot in cedar city utah
you haven't really lived the road life unless you spent at least one night in a walmart parking lot
i've actually stayed at this one a couple of times i arrived just in time for the afternoon
thunderstorms which is very cool i love a good thunderstorm and it cooled things off which is
really nice i was feeling pretty ambitious on the drive up here and thought that i might just take
a nap and get back on the road for a few hours however once i got here it hit me how tired i
was so i opted just to go ahead and stay here and get some rest for the rest of the afternoon
i went inside and did some shopping in walmart got some groceries for the next
few days and just got myself a pre-made sandwich because i don't feel like cooking
tomorrow the plan is to drive straight to the tetons yeah i'm so excited it's going
to take about 10 hours probably to get there with stops and i do have a campsite reserved
it's going to be another long drive after a long drive today but i cannot wait to get to
the end destination i think i'm going to go ahead and call it a night now get some
rest and rest up for the long drive so i will catch up with you all in the morning good night
i never was a big fan of driving in the city but
give me a wide open road and i'm happy to be in the driver's seat
i am taking a different way into wyoming this time from utah i am going through the
mountains i will be passing by park city so i'm hoping it will be fairly scenic
yeah just entered wyoming however this route will take me back into utah for a short time
and then back into wyoming so it just kind of psyched me out a little bit
i have officially entered the bridger teton national forest
well i made it and it is smoky smoky out west seems to be the new normal
i'm going to go ahead and go to camp and get settled in i'll be here for a while so there
will be plenty of time to check all this out and hopefully some of the smoke blows out of the way
arrive at gross venture campground road
arrived
good morning everyone i am waking up here on my first morning in wyoming this year
and i am stoked i got here to camp last night and i was really knackered after two days of
long driving i generally like to keep my driving to about a six hour maximum per day that did not
happen over the last couple of days but it was well worth it to be here right now it's a chilly
morning it is in the 40s this morning and i have not experienced temps that low in quite some time
and it's actually very refreshing i am currently at the grovant campground and i have never
stayed at an official campground when i visited the tetons in the past i've always boondocked
however i was hearing lots of information that most of the boondocking has been full here it's
been very difficult to find a spot so i just wanted to make sure that after such a long drive
that i definitely had some place to stay without having to search around a bit to find a spot i
have this place for several days and the plan is to scout out a possible good boondocking spot so
that i can transition from a campground to a boondocking space which i think i would
enjoy a bit more having said that this spot is really nice it is right along the grovant river
and i've heard people mentioning uh all around me that they've seen moose pretty frequently so
fingers crossed that i get to see a moose i guess there's a cow and a baby somewhere around here
so it would be awesome to get to see them as you saw from the shots yesterday there is some smoke
here in wyoming i believe it's coming from other states here out west similar to last year however
if the visibility stays at what it was yesterday and doesn't get any worse i i'll be good by that
there's just no escaping it it's going to be i guess something that we're going to be dealing
with for quite some time with drought conditions dry conditions and i don't think that there's
any way to escape it unless we have a really wet winter with lots of snowpack which i am praying
for i hope you enjoyed coming along on this ride along video documenting my travels from orange
county california here to wyoming starting at my camp in orange county california and ending here
at my camp in wyoming when you live on the road full time the drive is just as much a part of the
journey as the time you spend at your destination i'm going to wrap up this video here however stay
