That’s not a St. Louis Cardinal, but rather an Arizona Cardinal.
Don’t go to Peoria Arizona if you want to squat for free. Arizona Land Trust requires a permit good for 14days total in a calendar year. PD enforces it and is relentless. I guess the residents have had enough of this.
turkey in the straw LMAO
Love your videos !
You put together a good video. Thanks for the info on your travels. We’ll check’em out!!
Great video Slim, I live In AZ Suncitywest now get to those places now and then, visited AZ 20 years ago threw the ticket away back to Illinois still here LOL
Being a ARIZONA person ( living there ) I found this to be a great , fun and informative video !! Great photography
And since I’ve been wanting to visit AJO , afyer seeing this , I’ll def be going !
Thank you Sir for sharing your adventures !! 😁
Gad blass youuuu!!!!!!!
@ 7:51 // “especially if you’re a St. Louis fan” this snowbird don’t know he’s in Cardinal country 🤦♂️
Luv seeing my state being explored !!!
It took a Canadian to express the true spirit of Southern Arizona. Sadly it is negated by thousands of Scottsdale transplants that are trying to turn Arizona into an air conditioned, corporate driven, Apple store Peyton place of dead suburbs. Keep the cowboy spirit alive.
Beware of the frybread, for every bite you’ll gain five to ten lbs.
more hobo cuisine tips!
Just found your channel, love the style! Very Bruce Brown
Lol great show you’re a hoot
Near Phoenix, is White tank my still free?
Amazing that a cactus needle can play a Gram. U gave me a smile on my face today.
Arizona is my home, I am happy to have you.
Love this channel so fkn much I love the honesty and transparency, the videography and editing to your videos, and your in depth narration . Your top notch for sure please keep it up Slim:)
You are adorable are you Single?
Adios!!! Slim!! Muy buenos videos!!!
That fry bread is like a pizza. 😄🤠♥️🌴
Fry Bread = Taco Pizza
Always eager to find new boon docking spots. Tip: that bathing suit got to go.
The one thing most frustrating to me is FINDING FREE SHOWERS!
Where are these elusive creatures. I am planning to go to Roswell and then southern Arizona in January.
Looking for free camping, free showers, gold & haunted places.
Slim, just love your old gramma phone. I remember an old Victrola we had when I was a kid, would play old carbon records.
Thanks for sharing all the great information.
re: Buckeye Hills
Interesting government response to high demand – reduce supply
You crack me up, Slim.
Go to Slab City and do a video. 🤣
As ever, brilliant! Cheers Slim. 👍😄🍺
Just wanted to tell you that I thoroughly enjoy your videos! They are scenic, thoughtful, humorous, intriguing, interesting and very entertaining. Thank you for a wonderful video. I binge watched a few episodes when I first discovered your channel. Had to reign myself in and set limits or I would have run out of our visits. That’s what these feel like. We are sitting at the kitchen table and you are sharing pictures and stories of your travels, trials, tribulations and triumphs! Good Job Sir. Very Good Job.
You are great! Thank you so much for your time& thoughts. Both of my grown children are established in AZ . Now with granddaughters there , I’ll be coming out from CA much more. Single, and carefully spending, having free sites is really wonderful.
We are scouting out land to boondock on in AZ right now lol. I’m a bit worried about the snakes. Any safety tips for people with kids and pets?
Thanks for the video..The fry bread you had was a Navajo taco. The fry bread part is the bottom. A lot of places make it with honey or powered sugar an call it elephant ears…In Gallup NM fry bread is common in all restaurants and roadside stands…..God bless….C-Ya
Thanks! I like to also see a fellow hummingbird-feeder-carrier!
I’m sorry but when I heard you say "when it gets really, really hot, like today it’s in the 80’s" I busted up. I plan to make Snyder Hill my first site. I found this video when I was looking for the spot I will go to following Snyder Hill. Now, this is a good start. I can make these spots my first five.
Too bad the one place is closed. Maybe they could re open if they put markers where you are permitted to camp and limit the # of people.
Dummy, that was an Arizona Cardinal, you know, for the fans of the NFL team! Also, my daughter gets those grills at Walmart. They are cookie cooling sheets. They are also on Amazon.
The drive between Superior and Globe down into Phoenix is a great drive up, over and through mountain passes.
Hi Slim, I noticed your tongue bike mount. Great idea. May try it on my 13′ Trillium. Thank you for the informative video. Happy Trails
Great reviews. Thank you for the honesty and hilarity you installing your videos. Love the parody of Apocalypse Now
Awesome. That Fry bread looks good.
Taken my aliner out west this summer thanks
I had to give you a thumbs up. No matter how old your video is. You are truly comical. Happy camping.
St. Louis fan? You’re not that far from the home of the Arizona Cardinals football team.
I love Oak Flats, and didn’t experience the busyness you did.
When you do videos like this, could you add links to google maps, or lat/long coordinates?
Arizona my home. Many characters live there. Fry bread heaven.
Great stuff. Thanks 😊
I want to learn how to camp with my little trailer on free eras, I am from Corona California, I need some tips. Thx keep making this videos.
Been to Oak Flat Campground many times… Love it there
Slim that Canadian glow in the dark tan could turn into crispy critter quick!
Good times.
