Joey is so adorable!❤
I love Moab and Utah is my favorite State to visit. Been full timing for 7 years and always love driving through that area and up along the Colorado River. You are amazing, Chantelle. I really think that those who are trying to scare you aren't very nice doing that. People who live in fear should probably never leave their house. More bad things happen in or near large cities and suburbs where they are than out on the road. You are very 'road savvy'. Love to you and Joey.
This is definitely on my list of places to visit! I enjoyed your video! I’m not getting all the people freaking out about the murders… in the past recent years Moab has has zero homicides, but because of one double murder where circumstances are still not clear - people are fear mongering. Thanks for living your life Chantelle & showing us that fear doesn’t & shouldn’t rule our lives!
What an absolutely gorgeous place you found! Thanks for sharing!😘
What a beautiful place! It’s sad so many trails don’t allow dogs. Personally, I prefer dogs to most humans. I suppose there is a reason for it. Thank you for sharing! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving ❤️

While Shantel is a good dog owner, many aren't, and I understand why they don't allow dogs. I live right next to a leash only trail, and 90% of the dogs are never leashed. This is not a dog issue, it's a people responsibility issue.

What beautiful scenery, endless red rocks, the river and fall leaves, accompanied by some lovely music. Enjoy your adventure and happy, safe travels to you and Joey. 🥰
Those mountains are amazing - loaded with all that amethyst!!!!
Can't wait until Spring and the start of my journey from Ohio to California and the leisurely scenic journey I'm planning! Moab is #1 of my places to see in Utah. Arizona too! ❤from Ohio
Laughed when I saw how dirty the exterior of your van was! That was a beautiful camp on the river. Wish I was there, as we now have snow! Stay safe.👍😎🇨🇦📷🐾
Never are any of your videos NOT showing beautiful places (and Joey and Coffee!) Stunning video as always!
You always find a way to make things tranquil for others. Thank you May you and Joey find delight and beauty with each discovery, each exploration. Be safe , keep that golden smile, both of you.
Dang girl be careful there !!!
It is Amazing! God is so Good! Stay warm my friend! We got our first snow here today not so very far away!the music is incredible!
The high way you were traversing is breath taking….so cool to tZke that virtual ride! Thank you for sharing it.
Good morning I love Moab as well:) The ladies in the grocery store are always so helpful and sweet. I always leave with a smile on my face. The only problem with Moab is the only circle k doesn't have Texas pecan coffee hahaha Thank you for the shower info I had no idea!! Stay warm out there,:) You're welcome to come for Thanksgiving. We are a motley Crew of random eccentrics and animals but I think you would fit in perfectly. You and Joey are more than welcome
yes.... music captured the quiet splendor. thank you. i'll keep this one for times when i need to escape the noise.
Something I hadn't thought of...having a lock 🔐 for public lockers. I'll have to pick one up and put it on my shower bag.
Girl LOOK AT YOU OVER 9,000 VEIWS YOU GO GIRL BEEN HERE.SINCE THE DAY YOU HIT THE ROAD I BELIEVE I AM RIGHT NEXT YO YOU AN MY JOEIE BOY LOVE YALL BE SAFE LOVE MS PEGGY FROM COLOGNE MN
I will be heading out to see the west on my own terms by Jan. 2022. Been waiting on this for 68 years now. Thank you for your insight.
Uh, so satisfying to watch you wash the van. I love those DIY carwashes.
You may need a shower, but I want to tell you that your eyes look so blue n gorgeous...stay safe you and Joey🙏🏼💖😊
When you washed your van, did you spray the mud off from the wheel wells, axels, and undercarriage? If you didn't, I Highly recommend that you do. The sound you're hearing might be the dried mud rubbing on your tires, etc. I used to drive a little Dodge Neon down a Rez road just like one you went down. My Neon often looked like that.
Absolutely love the walk around with the music. I watched it twice. Happy Thanksgiving to you both.
Moab is one of the most beautiful places on this planet! I can’t wait to see your Canyonlands video!
You're such a brave woman! Go girl and your doggy! Pls take care on your journey with your buddy!
Gorgeous mountains. That vegan ball sandwich looks delicious. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Joey!
Really love the music you chose for the first part of your video...and the second part too! 👌 💖 Love your videos Chantelle and your spirit of adventure. I've been full-timing in my SUV for over a year now (young at heart retired female). We travel to many of the same places...hope to cross paths with you one day 😉
Nice music with your video, beautiful area, I always look foward to your next adventure....take good care of yourself and keep going
The classic piano 🎶 is perfect...I hope you use it often as it enhances the beauty of your video scenery. Makes my BP drop...so calming. 😂 Moab is gorgeous and considered a top spot for retirement. Thanks for the great video.
I'm so glad you still have your merch. I just did some Christmas shopping on there! I love doing my gift shopping online, so THANK YOU!
Great music this time Chantelle! The music driving through Moab reminded me of The Allman Brothers. The piano music was perfect for showing the scenery at the campsite. Thanks for another great tour.
Beautiful area. Would you consider doing a what I spent in a month video? I know you boondock and also pay for campgrounds. I think it would be of interest to those of us who want to travel in a simlar way to plan out how much money it would cost. I realize there are always variables but even a three month average would be interesting.
When I visited Moab one of my highlights was stopping at those water pipes that come out of the side of the mountains, to get fresh drinking water. In my mind the best water I ever had! The white truck that you filmed in your video reminded me of those pipes where we'd stop. I love Moab I call it the four wheel drive capital of the world! I went there when I got my first Jeep in 1994. I parked on the side of that same road on my Jeep hood and watched people white rafting down that same river. Thanks for the memories. I'll be back out there next year. I absolutely loved loved loves this video thank you!

Moab used to be called the slick rock capital of the world when I visited it
OMG beautiful! Thank you for showing us beautiful pictures of places we will probably never get to go. Please be safe and watch your surroundings God bless take care
Wow! Simply wow!
thanks Chantelle, for the meditation on the scenery! eva
I would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. And yes I went on the trip with you and Moab and it was so cute when you went through the tunnel I said the light at the end of the tunnel and there you are just be safe and I'll see you in your next video give Joey some love for me
Stop by a parts store and buy a can of belt spray while the engine is running spray it on your belt if the belt was making the noise it will go away

When you first turn down that road with alot of trails, that tree on the left hanging over the pull out was cool. Was there early fall for the first time. So beautiful.
Hello from Arizona. Take care. Always enjoy watching ur videos. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you for continuing to share these beautiful areas.
So beautiful. And you always pick the best music. Love your videos.
Amazing views. Great campground. Joey so adorable 🥰🥰
You're right, the piano music was perfect for the gorgeous scenery! Thank you!
What a peaceful place and relaxing music too ❤️
Wow, I just love going on these adventures with you, so beautiful.
This is my fav blog …. The ride & where you parked are awesome 👏
How absolutely beautiful the scenery is! Enjoy your time there! Hi Joey! 🐶
Wow! I now want to jump in my car and drive to Utah and Moab!! Love seeing your travels! Be safe!! Have fun!! Hugs for cutie Joey!
We were in Moab in May. It is a cute town. It looks beautiful there in the fall and not so many people. It is so beautiful. I agree one could spend a long time exploring there. Thanks so much for the video.

Van appears to be doing well. One day I will visit Moab with my son🏕.
So beautiful. Awe poor Joey couldn’t go.that’s not fair.,
u do know all the murders in Moab?
Truly beautiful. Really enjoyed the piano music it was fitting for the area. Lovely choice. Have a blessed week my beautiful friend 💖🌟🥰
You are an inspiration Chantelle. Cheers Julie from Australia.
😎‼️Landscape definitely 👍👍⬆️
Please get AAA extended coverage! It is so worth it if you break down. For just at $100 you can have tow coverage that will tow you up to 100 miles from where you break down and can be used up to four times a year! Not only for towing but also covers flat tires/lockouts/bring you gas/etc!. If you use your care insurance towing your premium goes up and they usually only cover 5 miles and than you start paying !!! Please consider this, it’s so worth it!
Ooohh so beautiful!
Well worth the $20 for the view you have. Absolutely stunning. Also the footage of the drive is just gorgeous. I live in Montana having done the going to the Sun Road twice this year and seeing Yellowstone plus living in this gorgeous state now as of August 2021; I thought it was beautiful here but I will definitely have to make my way to Utah. Love the choice of music 🎵....BEAUTIFUL 🥰
Hello from Sacramento, California USA.
Happy Thanksgiving Chantel and sweet Joey!
Great scenery, and your pup Joey, too cute.
Have you been down in the verde valley/ Sedona area? If not, check it out. 🙂 ETA: Moab looks gorgeous! Lovely video!
Beautiful. I really want to visit it. You make me want to travel. Love your channel.
Amazing scenery! It has been years since I traveled through here camping with my family!
Chantelle, you and Joey have some wonderful adventures! I would love to travel to Moab and explore it. Love your videos! Safe travels to you.
Such a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving. ❤️
This part of the country is so beautiful. I loved my time there a few weeks ago. I don't know your travel plans, but Monument Valley is a beautiful day trip. There is a 17 mile drive that takes you through the Valley. I took a tour, but I could have driven it myself. Stay warm.
What a beautiful place.
Your scenery videos are fine, but you are a star with your monologues. You can always get me laughing. For instance, when you said fingers crossed about your van. I have done that many times about my cars even though I try to maintain them well.
Hey girl. Great job on the video and music. What a beautiful place. Joey is so dang cute. Happy Thanksgiving!
I really like the music in this one 🙌🏻
