problem solving - and our big American interview - Free camping NZ
This episode we are at the well known, and recommended Pinderspond. An old gold mining site, which didn't deliver much gold, but left a great spot to camp at.
Very unlevel here, but picturesque. We had some issues getting level with our jack as our jockeywheel was broken, but we got there in the end.
Lots of good exploring in the area, and generally the weather through these ways is extreme... Hot, windy, cold, what ever the season, this place delivers.

thanks team... Otago is such an amazing part of New Zealand I find it pretty Unique to New Zealand, mostly because of all those incredible rocks.
Well done kids. Caravan looked very clean and tidy. Congratulations on getting interviewed. What a great experience. Travel safe🤗🌞🤗

Thanks, kids are pretty good at tidying, although don't come and see now, they made pancakes for breakfast, and are now nowhere to be seen, except plenty of mess on the bench...
How awesome to be having someone to come and visit you with such a big channel. Also, kinda feel for the fish swimming around the pond, not knowing that 20 meters away there is a huge river with access to the world 😂

Yea tell me about it, apparently there are a few fish in there as well... Hopefully the tiny home tours channel can give us a little boost. A lot of the people they interview may live in a tiny home, but don't do social media, so we'll see I reckon we could pick up 10 -50 new subs, even when we were in our national news paper a full page spread with pictures etc, we only picked up about 40 -50 new subs.
Great video Mike, Pinders Pond looks like a great place to visit too!

Thanks Cam, I think it might give us a small nudge, a few years ago they did some families from NZ doing the same as us, their channels didn't really do much better from tiny tours, but who knows, we'll take the exposure we can get, and it's def gonna help. Hopefully the video they make gets some good views.

Thank you, appreciate that... Glad Grandad, lived a full and happy life, he'll be a lot happier now he's back with his wife of 67 years.
What a cool spot. Just think it was once not even that level until the Lions Club somewhat improved it for parking. So good in Autumn with the colours reflecting on the pond as well. I bet it was a bit cold to swim at Labour weekend. Hope you are all well

really it's had recent work to make the place more level??? I guess we are a bit out of the ordinary, the distance between our Jockeywheel and tires is pretty excessive, which can make it more challenging to get level. The water was fresh, but not as cold as the water in the catlins today, or that could be because it was cloudy all day.

@leopardsgowild yeah last time we parked there our drawbar had to rest on the ground😆, I get all the family to stand in the back of the caravan to help me easily lift it up onto the towbar after that one

Your so much more hardcore than me man... Sounds like you might have been unlevel for some nights as well though... good times caravaning... I don't think anyone would have felt the roll on our nights, so can't have been to bad. Just greatful the caravan stayed on the jack. @@RadRoadAdventures
