Kentucky Camp Life - Living in a Van 11/2020

Found a nice creek side camp in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky. This area in the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky has been a great place to explore. Spending a nice relaxing day at camp is a great way to recharge for upcoming adventures.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

    An other great view through the windshield. I'm thinking it would be a tight fit taking a class c back in that dirt road and making that left turn into where you camped along that creek? It looked wet also. Just a perfect place to take a relaxing nap or two next to that clear water creek!! That tea looked soothing as well. Only for one?? And a wonderful place to spend time with Kelly! Shout out for Kelly!!! You both stay safe, and healthy, enjoy.
