Hidden Gems in Utah | Van Life in Utah
We loved free camping in our van and checking out hot springs, salt flats, the north side of Zion National Park, and sand dunes in Utah. Each place was amazing and breathtaking. In this video we share some “hidden gems” in Utah that are somewhat off the beaten path so you can avoid the crowds.

Who we are:
We are Jon and Ray, a couple from Seattle, WA. We are full-time van lifers, traveling the US with our dog JJ, in our converted Promaster “Road Dreamer” or “Roadie” for short. We make videos about traveling to new places, what it’s like living in a van, and tips/tricks to help fellow van lifers. We hope to inspire others to try new things, alternative ways of living, and to explore the beautiful world we live in. We post new videos every Sunday. We appreciate your support on our journey!

Dave 2D sent me thats all
I like your expensive van, it showed me what it would cost to go all out…and I am saving to do it the same way. I want my A/C! Love the ‘bloopers’, keep those in. You don’t seem comfortable with being filmed yet, but your bloopers show how funny you can really be. Keep loving life…and say hi to JJ, he is adorable.
Dave2D LOVES you 😂👌

Hi, Dave2D sent me🤣🤣🤣🎊
Hey Guys : Just watched a video of someone calling you all Stupid and all kinds of negative remarks because of all the money you put in your Van/Home. Let me tell you. Don’t pay any attention to anybody who says something negative about you. First its your business what you do with your money and who is he to put you down and talk how stupid you are. Let me tell you. I’m older and because of many mistakes I worry about money every day but everything in my Life I did and need no one to tell me what I should or shouldn’t do. Its your life and I want you to enjoy it and hope all works out and hope your Video goes Viral because of your Van Expense Video. Best of luck. Your New Subscriber and not his. Take Care and be Careful and I’ll be watching. 🙂

Your cute dog put a big smile on my face 😍😍😍
Dave sent me😉
Where are the hot springs located?
Dave2D sent me lol
Hi I’m Dave.
careful throwing your dog like that you can flip its stomach and kill it from bloat.
We used to call that sand surfing it reminded me of my younger days in South Island New Zealand a lot of fun. Great video. Take care Cheers
Dave sent me. I have a question. Do you have trust funds? If not, are you doing any kind of work besides YouTube? Sand surfing looked fun.
Yes had to check you out thanks to Dave and his roasts, want you all to succeed, so… ROCK IT… hit up every hot spring in the US, I’ll follow you!
I am here because of dave2D, funny thing is that I been here I did it with a Honda accord 2013 drove it from Texas. You don’t need much to do exactly the same thing and with the stuff you already have. True it’s more convenient with a van. Cheers guys.
Congrats on getting roasted by Dave.
Dave 2D turned me on to you guys.
Just LOVED the sand sledding!! You were ALL SOOO CUTE!
Dave’s not here, man. Dude, are you related to Cheech?

Heya, Dave2D said you’re good for a loan?
Hey Jon & Rachel ( and JJ ), it appears that you guys " have finally made it on YouTube " !!! Not only because of your wonderful travel and adventure videos, but because you are being " noticed & lambasted by other YouTubers ". This time by Dave 2D, who is roasting your Millennial-ness, and wealth/spending habits. Dave’s videos are funny, so take them for what they are worth, and appreciate your new found inclusion in the YouTube World. Great videos of the parks, and JJ tracking your wipeouts in the sand. JJ says hey, I know you guys are going to crash, and he didn’t want anything to do with it. Jon seemed to wipeout in historic style. Take care, and keep documenting your journey because the sites are very interesting, and your tips do come in handy. Always, Syn Silver.
Dave 2D says Hello
Watching you because of Dave2D. Be yourselves. I applaud your ridiculously over appointed van!
