hey guys welcome back to my channel if you are new here my name is jeanie i live in
colorado i do a whole bunch of colorado outdoors camping hiking all the things however we are in
wyoming the wyoming border is only one hour from us so um it's easy to take some quick
trips up here and we are currently in medicine bow national forest by the sugarloaf area
and we are doing some dispersed camping here it is gorgeous i've done a few dispersed camping vlogs
in colorado and now we're testing out wyoming and no complaints as far i'm going to flip the camera
around and show you our free dispersed camping spot here in wyoming here is our beautiful
campsite so if you're new to my channel we are in to suv camping so we have our suv converted into
our sleeping area and yeah this is our bed so our jeep is our camper we've got our portable shower
and toilet system all set up here in our pop-up tent we put our water outside since it's so warm
and sunny right now we're like take the sun in warm up the water we got our cooking area here
and we have a huge it's a huge site you guys check this out it's gorgeous and we put our chairs down
here because we have a really nice little view of this valley you can see my husband on here so
he's scoping it out do you see anything
there's fish shut up oh my god okay well we have fish here at a captain here's our view
this is gorgeous and it's free i mean can you complain no and i guess we have fish so let's
go check it out this is crazy i didn't even know there was like a stream down here wow
the trio hold on it's kind of muddy okay this is really weird this is like extremely shallow
there's fish in there it's muddy you can't i mean i couldn't see them moving but i guess it's hard
to get them in the video and like there's only this much water there's like three fish down there
it's like we almost want to like save them and put them somewhere else because there's no other like
waterways here like this is really strange but we're gonna let mother nature be mother
nature we found more there's like this tiny look how shallow this stream is
it's like a mango i don't know if you can see them in the video shoot but they're there
they're trout that are swimming back here in this extremely dried up creek i mean look at that
so i don't know
all right well that was interesting so happy labor day weekend to you all from
wyoming so because it's a labor day weekend we had a feeling it was going to be pretty busy here and
we were kind of worried that um desperate camping spots would be pretty full and we weren't wrong so
we got here at about eight o'clock this morning on a saturday and we drove around for about
45 minutes to an hour yeah through a whole bunch of forest roads here in medicine pull up
it was very busy we were in quite shocked when we saw how full everything was here so um we knew it
would be busy we just we were really questioning if we were actually going to get a camping spot
because it was quite tough we finally found one and it's a gem we're loving it so because we
got here pretty early this morning we decided to come scope out spots before we go out and do any
hiking or anything because we figured the later it goes in the day the busier it's going to get
the least chance of spots actually being available and yeah we were right
we actually set up camp at about eight o'clock this morning to like hold down our spot we
put up all our stuff outside so people were like nope that one's taken and then we went
and did some hiking so this morning we went and did the south gap lakes trail it's about three
and a half miles around trip it was a beautiful trail you hike along a bunch of different lakes
and the views are beautiful highly recommend if you're in this area the south the gaps lake trail
is beautiful we were actually here earlier this summer and we hiked to the top of medicine bow
peak definitely go check out that vlog if you're looking for more things to do in the area cheers
we're going on a little afternoon walk it's like 2 30 and i mean we're not once to just sit around
all day long and just like hang like we like to do that but we need to move too
so we're just gonna go walk the road and see what we find see who else is camping it's so
much busier than any other areas we've been in but it's labor day weekend so it's to be expected
wow we just found this little cabin in the woods this was a fun little find it's just right up the
road from our campsite so we're walking back to our campsite and all of a sudden we heard an elk
call and we kind of freaked out because it's officially at that time of year when elk are
in rut and they start bugling so it's elk bugling season here and so we heard that called oh my god
where's the elk and then we like turned the corner and we realized it was a camper with an alcohol
so yeah we were excited but scared at the same time because we're like uh
elk and rut like we have to get past this area it was fake boom so my last vlog i talked about it
just a few different upgrades we did and how you know this is a total learning as you go
process you figure out things you change things as you continue to camp so one thing we decided
we wanted to upgrade was our cooktop camp stove we used to have a single burner with the propane
underneath which worked fine there was nothing wrong with it our concern was like tipping over
our food because it's kind of top-heavy yeah yeah so we wanted something that was a little bit more
low profile so we didn't have it so tippy like we decided to purchase this double burner camp stove
and as you can see it's a much lower profile and it collapses all the way down into like
a portable little stove with a handle if we ever decide to cook something where we need two burners
now we have it and it collapses down real small so now it's time to cook
dinner tonight is homemade chili with homemade
cornbread a little topping of some sour cream cheese and some crackers
let's eat
when we go camping like this you know we're in the mountains and it's always cool and crisp
this is it some homemade chili and it's like you know fall is right around the corner
and so we're getting all the fall vibes and that calls for chili i think the lower tonight is gonna
be like 40 degrees so it's gonna be chilly tonight haha no pun intended so normally we go for an
evening sunset walk however i think tonight we're going to go for an evening sunset drive
you can tell we're getting into fall weather look at that foliage reds and yellows and oranges
we have not seen any trees yet turn um we've been in the mountains in colorado
and now here in wyoming and all the trees are thus far no color i'm just seeing
the shrubs and the plants and everything that are slowly starting
we're on our way back to the side check it
there she is she made our night it's perfect
so you guys i just realized i totally forgot all our phone chargers at home
and my battery is at like 10 percent
yeah so i don't really know much more of the vlog i'm gonna have here so uh yeah just a heads up
