The haz mat refers to commercial loads, known as a “reportable quantity”. So, usually tunnels are restricted to fuel trucks, tankers filled with flammable materials. Your little propane tank is not what they are concerned about.

I know you can't do 54-minute videos on a regular basis, but I just want you to know how much I enjoyed this one. I hated to see it end. I especially liked the simple cooking shots interspersed with nature scenes. Two more years for me, and I can be on the road as well. Thank you for your channel! 😊

According to the Live Oak Society the oldest southern live oak is believed to be the Seven Sisters Oak located in Mandeville, Louisiana, with an estimated age of between 500-1000 years.

I only live a few hours from where you were in Louisiana. Those are Live Oak trees.... aren't they awesome? We have a younger one in our backyard but they can live for a hundred years.

The Oaks with the Spanish Moss down there are absolutely beautiful.

Words can’t say how much of enjoyment to watch… The bugs,sounds, rain,oh ❤those trees I’m tree lover anyhow, but you did such an excellent job, on this video. So much to learn and it’s free. Some of the places seem beautiful, but haunting at the same time. Thank you

😊I love the way Sadie stops as soon as you ask. You trained her well. It would be very lonely without her company.

Yes, please! More like this! I lovelovelove the sound of rain; thunder is a bonus. It's like a lullaby to me. And the peepers. Oh, how I miss the east coast! Your writing instructor gave you good advice, but whoever taught you video/photography was a genius. Thank you so much for bringing us along.

Strange, I haven’t had a video of yours pop up in my feed for months. I’m glad this one did! It was fantastic! I don’t know how you slept with that roar of rain on the roof of your RV! If we had that much rain here in Southern California, that would be enough rain for a year, and it would flood! I’m looking forward to going back and looking at all the videos I missed! Looks like you and Sadie are having a great trip! Thanks!

Love the research you do , the education you provide , the beauty you share 🙏Thank You Carolyn 💖

Thank you for this. It nourished my soul. The Southern Live Oak Trees were breathtaking. There is something haunting about the Louisiana Bayou that I love ❤️🎉

Thank you for sharing the breathtaking trees and Bayou country where my parents migrated from during the great migration.

Beautiful part of the country. I really do love those massive trees. And that cute Sadie as always.

I would be sleeping like a baby..love the sound of rain..😊

07:39 pm Hi I love your videos so much! I’m very sick right now and this video made me feel better! This is the kind of walk I used to take in Lynchburg VA. We would look at old houses. Your videos have helped me for a long time!! I’m disabled and so happy to feel as if I am on a walk with you and Sadie! I was so excited to see you in the the movie as well!! Love your channel 🥰

Long time follower: Thank you as always Carolyn! You are an amazing person.....

Ahhh, Louisiana. I enjoyed my time there. Very atmospheric, steeped in history with a haunting aura. The beautiful Spanish moss hanging from the trees, the rain, the hurricanes and hurricane parties, the taping of windows in preparation for hurricanes, and I met some very interesting and engaging people. Cajuns living across a swamp, making boudin sausage and their warm hospitality, but they don't accept just anyone into their very private homes, only accessible via a pirot (flat boat). People speaking English with a charming patois, a Louisiana accent. The older people speaking French, a friend with a very old upstairs apartment in the French Quarter, with a balcony made of beautiful wrought iron. Watching the "crews" go by with a bird's eye view from the apartment during Mardi Gras. The incredible jazz cafes, the incomparable Cajun cuisine, and the swamp. Visiting the old, preserved plantations that are now B&Bs. The Cafe Du Monde at 7:30 am, parking at the Farmer's Market so you'd be able to find a parking space, the Cafe Du Monde chicory coffee, the wonderful beneits (sp?), ie, donuts, the best I've ever had. The oyster po-boy sandwiches which became my favorite food. The beautiful Quarter, taking you back to the time when it was an important cultural and trading center of America. Interestingly, I really felt at home there. Ahhh, Beautiful Louisiana. I'll always love you and your unique culture and beautiful people. It truly is like being in a different country.

"Skeeters" are the state bird. I love that state. Took my boys camping there. Dont remember what campground, but it was family-run, and people were SO nice. Little tip for the state bird: Citronella candles. Works GREAT. We camped in a tent. Boys LOVED IT!!

What a wonderful video. I love the swamps, too. So beautiful and full of life. You picked a good time to go. Summers are unbearable down there. Love listening to the rain and the birds. So relaxing

I agree with you, but living here in SW Louisiana if I have to deal with another hurricane (and at 63 I'm too old for this), I'll trade places with you in Arizona. We had back to back hurricanes in 2020. Can't deal with this again.

Your so fun to watch! And have the best attitude! Rock on !

What a great video Carolyn. The trees the rain and showing us who have never traveled to the bayou what a beautiful place. Thanks for taking us with you on your journey. ❤

You should come! I've lived here all my life and I love it. Except in the summer it is extremely hot. So plan your trip accordingly.

You just traveled through one of my favorite routes, Carolyn! Coming from the Prairie State of Illinois, everything in the south just fascinates me! You never get to see Spanish Moss in Western Illinois, I'll tell ya that! Every part of our country is just beautiful, and the longer I live (I'm 71 now), the more I appreciate how lucky I was to be born in the USA!

This is an instant Classic Carolyn video for me. Thank you for highlighting the serenity of the park. I may not always comment, but I'm always watching and enjoying. Here's to a safe and prosperous New Year for us all

Wow what beautiful scenery. So peaceful and the bird sounds are lovely.

I love the video, especially the scenery thank you for sharing. I live in Louisiana and I love seeing the beautiful trees and people enjoying the nature.

All that stuff hanging from the branches, we in Australia and New Zealand call that Old man’s Beard. Looks so pretty.

I like seeing you boondock and stealth camping because it shows how people who have little to no money do it . Anyone can go to a camp site where everything is provided.

I just watched your live Baja video & since you mentioned this one in your live, I came back to watch it again. This is a great video that in an understated way allows everyone to experience what this environment feels & looks like, & your photography skills are awesome 👏🏻 📷

Hey Carolyn and Sadie just watched you on my Google TV on the bayou haven't seen you guys in so long really missed you now not as busy as I was so I can watch more often. Love that oak tree you guys are looking well take care stay safe and God bless you both

Driving my 24' Class C in the wind is like driving a sail boat!! Happy New Year, Carolyn!!

Put those trees on your Heavenly Bucket list! 😮 😊

That was an awesome adventure. Beautiful too but I think I’d be too afraid to walk through areas that close to water. Thanks for taking me along for the ride

The free night thing was southern hospitality 💜

Alright I-10 West. Makes me feel like I’m the one, coming home. Love your new calendar, it has great pictures. Love sleeping in the rv during a rain storm, cozy as all get out. Happy New Year 🙏🎉

Personally I am glad the officer was doing his job and pulled you over to check on you. If you saw a vehicle weaving, you’d be the first to say, “where’s the police 👮‍♀️ when you need them ?”

I wasn't "weaving". I was being blown around by obvious gusts as was every high profile vehicle on the road that day. But I never 'weaved' out of my lane.

So sorry for my choice of words, but I never said you were crossing lanes !! Yes, I understand high winds and your type of vehicle, and I am sure the officer did, too. However, I don’t think he was trying to harass you, nor do I think he was meeting a quota. He was just doing his job, you know, protect and serve. He was damned if he did and would bed bed if he didn’t!!! Please explain to me how swerving (according to the officer) is so different as opposed to weaving,,,,,,,oh, that’s right, swerving is soooouch better then weaving, hhhmmmm!!!

I just found your videos and love them. Also love your dog. My labradoodle is watching the show with me. Thank you for sharing.

I loved this longer video. Enjoyed rain also. Thanks

Those Live Oaks had my inner child yelling, CLIMB! Wonderful video Carolyn, loved it. Wishing you a very Happy, Healthy and safe New Year! Hugs to you and Sadie.

Loved this video. Best way to tour a swamp...watching you do it. I hate mosquitoes and other denizens of the swamp. I've lived in swamp areas and I'd rather face a grizzly than a palmetto cockroach. And to think I was born in Baton Rouge, mom had enough sense to move out of the swamp before I was out of diapers. I remember a trip when I was a teen and met a bunch of my swamp living, toothless, relatives, shudder, freaked me right the f#ck out. Glad you enjoyed your time crossing one off the bucket list. ☮️

You make it sound like all people of Louisiana have no teeth and are backward idiots. They are some of the nicest people always friendly.lol. and yes i have my teeth

I loved this video!!!! The longer ones with your “life” - cooking, cleaning, playing, hiking… yes! I am so looking forward to getting back on the road! All that rain … had to take a potty break (tmi/lol😊)

I agree with the other comments, you found a peaceful spot to stay with so much nature around you. Just glad you didn't get flooded out during the storm. I wanted to mention something else about your video and that is that I love how you move the camera slowly, letting us really enjoy the scenic beauty and not feeling like you are in a hurry to finish. Also I have a vertigo problem that can kick in just from someone moving the camera too quickly but I had no problem with yours. I love the Live Oak trees too. I first "met" them when I lived in beautiful Austin, TX. for a year and a half.

This was awesome! Love the sound of the rain. It’s so calming to me. Thanks for sharing Carolyn! ✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

Ohmygosh, no way, not me. Swamps, gators? Not for me. You’re one brave woman, girl!!!

Thank you I do enjoy the longer videos

Your video makes me want to visit Louisiana. And honestly I'd have to touch those trees. I'm stunned with how beautiful they are. Breathtaking.

This one brings back a lot of fond Louisiana memories. We bought our sailboat in Florida in 1999 and spent several months taking her back to Texas along the Intracoastal Waterway. We spent a long time in Louisiana, including anchoring overnight in several bayous and close to the Barataria Waterway (including an anchorage next to a cemetery!). An epic adventure. I've never seen so many kinds of commerical large boats, tugs, barges, locks, bridges, and seaplanes. So glad you enjoyed your adventures in the bayou areas! Louisiana waterways are definitely a bucket list item.

I really enjoyed. Thank you

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!! 🎊🥳🎉🧿

I love this video! Be safe 🙏 Happy New Year! Your a blessing!

HAPPY New Year’s Carolyn. You and Saddy stay safe.

Got my calendar! Love it❤ Sadie is such a good girl, the way she stays close and responds to your voice is amazing! Loved all the bird songs, not so sure about hearing all that rain though! I enjoyed the longer video, thank you!

Woo hoo I just found you again! So happy you are still out and about. I missed you. I’m happy you stay more often in a camp site just so much safer and less stressful. Wishing you happy trails and I look forward to more adventures! Pam

Hey Carolyn and Sadie. I Just found your videos for the first time. I saw , Louisiana Bayou , in your heading and it immediately caught my attention. I’ve lived here in Louisiana for 67 years. Welcome to our state. I hope you get the chance to meet the people and eat our food before you leave our state. We are a friendly bunch and after a good meal and a couple of old stories, you are family. There’s one thing that is Very important that you know ….Around the Bayou where you spent last night the gators may be in the grass or under your RV. They are much faster moving on the ground than people think. Be aware of your surroundings and keep Sadie with you. Just go about your business and you’ll be fine. Gators don’t want to fool with you unless they feel threatened. Much love and Happy New Year to you and Sadie. 🌾🐊🌻

Thank You for this video Carolyn , the sounds of nature , and sights were wonderful .

What a lovely gift- nice long travel video. So beautiful. Happy new year

What a great video on Louisiana topography, environment, culture, & history. I lived there for 40+ yrs. I returned home to Pensacola almost 8 yrs ago. Hugs to Sadie. Thank you for sharing your experience w/us. Be careful, be blessed.

Carolyn, I love these long videos. Those trees....WOW....felt the same way you did about them. The night sounds....all of it was a great video. Thank you for sharing this time with me. It was so relaxing. I liked your comments 'off the cuff.' The balance of your humor mixed with more serious Sadie/gator topics was perfect. Your years of experience sure shows. Thanks for making some of the patreon content available to those of us that aren't the 'paying variety.' Love you and your content. Happy New Year my friend! 💗 Sadie is sure a well cared for companion!🐾🤎

Allll the best Carolyn and Sadie in the New Year!!! Safe travels!!!❤❤

I really enjoyed this video. And you were fearless going into that deserted house!

Nice video thanks ❤

Beautiful rain mystical bayou you capture the atmosphere perfectly good excellent video

Loved seeing the bayou and the incredible, wonderful Live Oaks, majestic!

This was a great video to listen to as I got my walk in. Listening to all the sounds was awesome. So good that I’m going to be listening and this time watching it for sure. So x2 will be good for the Chanel. Happy New Year to you and Sweet Sadie !Sue in Canada 🇨🇦

Thanks! Many great memories of time spent at Lake Fausse Point!❤

I really enjoyed this video, and thank you. Happy New Year!

Great program as always. Showing life as it really is,both the good and not so good. No one does it better then you. And yes the longer videos are much desired,keep it up. And may this year be your best one yet.

I used to live 52 minutes drive from where you are at, Carolyn. Franklinton, La.

I LOVE that you are showing show much of your different travels, totally addicted

Those trees are so cool. Makes me want to visit the south.

Those trees are usually where there's water i live in NC by the lumber river they're in my yard and all along the river they're everywhere here on the coast. My friend who's from New Jersey but now lives in Appalachia VA came to visit she took bunches of photos of them. She's a fellow u tuber that's how we met. Happy new year & safe travels.

The trees! Their beauty is breathtaking❤Happy for you to have a new generator.

This was so beautiful and peaceful. Also, a feast for the ears - loved the sound of the insects and the rain. The vegetation around there is absolutely fascinating! I think I prefer it without leaves so the gnarly, tangled branches were at their best. Those live oaks!!! Cheers from Oregon. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

February 25, 2024 I am watching from Irving Texas near Dallas and this is the first time I saw you all your videos and I really enjoy them. You do a great job of explaining what you’re filming filling us in on historic backgrounds and just overall very enjoyable video thank you so much❤

Originally from New Orleans - the KS & now AZ. Trees along the Southern coast are beautiful indeed. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year. Hope 2024 is wonderful and a sweet adventure for you & Sadie.

Enjoyed this one a lot, Happy New Year Carolyn! 😁😁😎😎👍👍

Just needed to say. I loved Your video. I was born & raised in South. Louisiana. Bayou. Country. I. Love it. Yes & all those beautiful Oak trees. I never get tired of seeing them. ❣️

Happy New Year 🎉🌉🎆🎇🥂🎉✊🏿🙏🏿✊🏿😅😅

Carolyn, you amaze me. I’m from Louisiana and find the bayou a bit scary. I like your Fearless sweatshirt. So true. You continue to be an inspiration. ❤

I just found your show. When I was 27 I did that ride in my 68 Camaro convertible. Thank u 4 sort of taking me back ....

Camping in my backyard! Was delightful to see familiar sites seen often on video....gives a different perspective and appreciation! (Mosquitoes are a nuisance :)). We did end up getting an average of 6" during this particular weather frontal system, much needed, & very thankful!

Enjoyed watching this beautiful video while chopping vegetables, onion and garlic for my black-eyed peas! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Those are Live Oaks. They are protected. The oldest one is in New Orleans. They call it the tree of Life. It's somewhere around 4 or 500 years old.

Thanks for one last video of 23! Happy travels to you and Sadie for 2024! 🥶🖤🔔👍💓🕛🎊

❤❤❤❤❤ Love your videos no matter what the length . You are great company.

Yes I really enjoyed the longer video, Happy new year ❤

Happy New Year to you and Sadie. Loved the longer video

Great video Carolyn, Sadie is such a good girl.,May you and Sadie have a great NEW YEAR!

Nature!! Beautiful! Love it. Thanks for sharing!

Happy New Year, Carolyn. Wishing you effortless health, wealth & travels in 2024! 🌉🎉🎆 thx for weathering the rain for our viewing pleasure.

That red is such a good color on you! I think I read there are alligators in the Bayou in Louisiana. Watch Sadie for sure. Giggle, within 2 minutes after I wrote that you talked about alligators!

Loved this video Carolyn. Thank you.

"I'm driving a billboard" 😅 Sadie's not barking.. she's telling you a lot of important stuff! LOL @49: The frogs 🐸 brought back memories of passing through the Carolinas. Good times. Btw.. My sense is .. with alligators you can't be too careful. Yes they can move VERY fast, and even climb chainlink fences 😮 plus they can stray FAR from water. Better safe than sorry Dear One. 🙏 🐕

I'm new to your channel and am really enjoying it. Thanks for all you do and safe travels.❤

Shes my kind of lady!! Just found my new favorite channel!! This was just awesome ❤❤❤

Love this video!! The night sounds and lights in your rv
