Good morning! Today is a very special day it happens to be my birthday. I have
a different kind of adventure planned for today but an adventure nonetheless
also i'll be leaving my trailer for the evening and sleeping somewhere very unique it is about
time to get going though we better get a move on and of course i'm taking you with me so let's go
you can probably guess by seeing the wraps behind me
that i'm going on a white water rafting adventure
hey guys so i'm gonna get a few paddles right here let's go two forward everybody ready one
and two
and let's do one more ready one
is
two three
as exciting as the rapids are the calm parts of the water were enjoyable as well
taking in all the beautiful scenery
oh
yeah ready
well that was a ton of fun i love doing white water rafting and that's only my second time
now i'm itching to try something maybe a little bit more technical i went ahead and
changed and as you can see i got wet i've got the natural curl going on in my hair but that's
to be expected i changed very quickly because i will be meeting my sister and brother-in-law
for a late lunch early dinner their treat for my birthday before checking in to my accommodations
we headed up to richfield utah which is about a 20-minute drive
i settled on the ground steak burger which
had that char grilled taste and was absolutely delicious
you probably wouldn't have guessed that i would be sleeping in a train car tonight i am sleeping in a
caboose in caboose village there are varying train cars here in sizes and price and i happen to be in
a caboose it might look familiar because we rode right past here on the river this morning so i got
a good look at where i was going to be which was very cool it's starting to rain a little bit there
have been thunderstorms off and on this afternoon which is kind of the norm par for the course at
this time of year it makes it for very interesting skies beautiful skies but i digress let me show
you around my little caboose as you walk in the door there is a little dinette area a television
a kitchenette and then to the right of that is a bathroom the bathroom's pretty large and we have a
separate shower and bathtub turn the light on here toilet mirror sink area it's a little bit older
you can tell the living room is very simple very plain and back here is the bedroom again
pretty basic pretty simple however i do have an amazing view out the window
and then i think the most special part of this place is the outdoors and this is my view
it felt slightly ironic i was staying in a caboose considering i had never ridden a train
so
the magpies are going bonkers out here what an amazing day it has been a great birthday
celebration i was really grateful to be able to have my brother-in-law join me on the rafting trip
and to have my sister and brother-in-law take me out to a wonderful lunch slash dinner
and then be able to spend the afternoon and evening here
it's just absolutely gorgeous i have an incredible view i am so relaxed and that's
exactly what i wanted for my birthday just a nice relaxing evening after a pretty adventurous
morning actually i think i'm going to go ahead and call it a night here and just wait for the
sunset hopefully it'll be a beautiful sunset and i will check back in in the morning good night
i'm not gonna lie it felt odd not waking up in my trailer my trailer is definitely home
it was a gorgeous morning and i was grateful for this experience
well good morning magpies they are all over here they're all on top of one of the train
cars right in front of me it is a beautiful morning here i had a great night's sleep this
little caboose village is right off of highway 89 the nearest town is richfield so it is off of a
highway however i did not hear any highway noise at all last night was really quiet and peaceful
there is no cell service or wi-fi and that's kind of nice every once in a while i think it's pretty
healthy and i enjoy being unplugged it's one of the things that i really enjoy about backpacking
is being unplugged for a while it's a it's a nice treat occasionally and a healthy thing
for sure one thing that i would highly recommend if you are considering staying here is bringing
your own coffee the coffee leaves a lot to be desired and they do have a fridge in there
so you can bring creamer keep your coffee and a coffee maker i wish i would have done that i think
that after this i will go across the street and have some breakfast and hopefully some good coffee
at the rock candy mountain cafe so this is all part of the rock candy mountain
resort area there is a ton to do here there's of course the white water rafting there's zip lining
there's tubing there's tons of ohv trails around here hiking trails there's a beautiful
trail that runs all along this river for hiking or biking and yeah it's an amazing area the rafting
at the time of filming this cost for one adult 47 dollars and the rooms here it's
you know summer high season the train car was 199 but it was a birthday gift so for me it was free
and speaking of birthday gifts the best birthday gift i could get from you all or the viewers that
have not subscribed i would love it if you would subscribe to the channel about half of the viewers
of the channel are not subscribed it's totally free it helps the channel a lot as soon as you're
done watching this video go over to my channel's main page and hit that subscribe button i would
really appreciate it it would be fantastic if by the end of this year i got to 100k subscribers
i'm at about 74 right now so that would be amazing i thank you all so much for your support i would
have never imagined that this is would be my life even four years ago and now i've been
on the road for over three years and it's just absolutely incredible make no mistake it
definitely is still work i do this all on my own it's uh you know i'm a one-woman show so i don't
have any editors any you know filmers nothing i just do it all myself but it's a labor of love
i absolutely love it my family was just here visiting niece's nephews my twin sister my mom
they came out to visit and i was thinking as we were spending the day on the ohv trails how
lucky i am that on a you know monday i could be hanging out with my family you know doing
these adventurous things and it's absolutely incredible and i do not take it for granted
anyhow i'm going to wrap things up here shortly and get back on the road i'll probably go across
