foreign
guys what an incredible 24 hours it has been holy cow this it is just getting scarier and
scarier and unpredictable on the road I'm here in New Orleans and but yesterday you
know I was I drove eight hours trying to escape the rain of Texas well finally I got in front
of that storm just to just to get into another storm here in Louisiana and uh anyway I I
think I'm okay now uh there's a little break in the weather sunshine and blue skies and
I'm feeling better but holy cow last night was a mess I'm here at what's it called the
beautiful fowlberg Brewing Company one of the oldest craft breweries in all of New Orleans
boy it looks different right now last night when I rolled in uh late at night it was still
raining and uh I was the only person who was in this massive bar which I thought was kind
of crazy they are pet friendly so I was able to bring uh Opie in and uh tried out one of
their uh flights of beer and I liked a few of them uh they they can do uh live music
here and I think they do on the weekends usually but um I was told that because it was raining
and there were tornado warnings in the area that that's why I was the only person in this
building yesterday I did also get one of their awesome pretzels with some queso cheese and
that was ridiculously delicious everything was going great we came back out into the
RV with the rain slowing down it got really quiet all of a sudden no wind no rain and
then homes
guys phone's blaring tornado warnings going
oh leash [Music] what are you gonna do in an RV there's nowhere to go that is actually
the third time in my life I have been in an area where there was a a confirmed touchdown
or actually I haven't actually confirmed that there was a tornado that touched down in New
Orleans but there was something with the clouds something going on where if they give you
an alert on your phone and say take cover and then they start blaring those Sirens those
Sirens are for hurricanes evacuations and tornadoes when they blow those I panic a little
bit and I panicked last night just a wide open area here there's one RV over there another
big Class A over there and there was a van parked right here that left but where are
you gonna go where where are you going to go hide during a tornado you know so I was
watching the news watching the weather keep an eye on everything Sirens went off it went
calm it never rained again everything dried up and here we are resetting like holy cow
we made it like gosh guys time out like man what is it with this extreme weather that
follows me everywhere I got tater tot unhooked because now I've been coming to New Orleans
for for eight or nine years here on the road I've got my spot which we're gonna go check
out later a free spot to Boondock in your RV although it's risky it's risky but it it's
just a short little three block walk over to the French Quarter this is new for me this
is a locked gated community so when they close at 8 pm they lock the gate out front and give
me a little pin card to get in and out so it's a very safe they've got a rolling security
officer that works the entire night the parking lot's lit so this gives me a really good feeling
comfortable being here in New Orleans to be able to explore um as I normally do in my
videos I would normally say that I'm uploading this video with Nomad internet and I'm just
being transparent with you so that you know it happens to all of us right now live I do
not have any Nomad internet I actually uh two days ago I opened up my Nomad internet
router and I was getting uh an orange light and an error message insert SIM card my SIM
card was inserted and it was inserted correctly and then that's never happened I reached out
to Nomad internet and they overnighted me a new SIM card it still doesn't work so I
have a hardware issue I have a bad router so um thank you Nomad internet for continuing
to help me out hopefully sometime in the future I'm going to have to get a new Nighthawk router
or maybe a new router but right now I do not have any working Nomad internet I'm not stressed
I have some backups I got my iPhone I've got starlink so that's okay I'll give you an update
here later but yeah I like my digs here I'm liking it you can obviously tell they are
RV friendly here Tara and Opie we survived yes I'm gonna go do some New Orleans stuffs
and then I'll be back for the kitties okay all right guys Opie hold on hold down the
fort okay all right French Quarter and Bourbon Street are right to our right uh we are gonna
turn left right here instead you can see this wall in front of me this is North Peters Road
and this is the spot uh so I boondocked so many times right here off to the right with
there I don't okay there's one RV up here but not a whole lot is there just one yeah
this right here is the only RV I see all right I'm finding more RVs and vans and people who
are possibly a little more permanent here but yeah this is so North Peters and Spain
Street s-p-a-i-n all of this right here looks like you got some car dwellers here yeah definitely
somebody in a van right here uh it doesn't say no RV parking or that you can't park your
RV here it's weird in New Orleans because the law is that these vehicles are allowed
to park here for up to 72 hours that's not me endorsing this place and saying you should
Park your RV here I'm just pointing out that I have a lot of people do uh it doesn't also
doesn't say that you're allowed to live in your RV or camp in your RV overnight however
a lot of people do it and seem to get away with it and the police around here don't really
seem to care I'm gonna go back up here find another spot to park for free with tater tot
and we'll we'll head into New Orleans snaulins hey uh I like New Orleans when I first parked
an RV here and then walked away it was a little uncomfortable feeling it is what it is right
so this little red Toyota right here this is the last of the free parking everything
else on this side closer to uh Bourbon Street and French Quarter is all paid parking so
you got to pay now just like that though three blocks of walking and we have one of the entrances
of the French market so I'm gonna go check it out I don't think I'll find any Mickey
or camel or uh Harley stuff but I'm gonna look around anyway it's pretty cool look at
these handmade magnets made out of wood and they're all unique handmade there's kitties
there look at this one two kitties like Opie and Tara on a custom magnet signed by is that
Alice Alice is that what it said that's you I love it I'll take that one I got my two
kitty cat magnet handmade here it doesn't say New Orleans on it but I'll always remember
I got it in New Orleans so that half is all crafts behind me is the food and you get to
walk around with alcohol in New Orleans so I might have to get me a barley pop all right
I got my uh Bud Light draft from organic banana there all right now I'm good to walk around
got some live music out here too awesome beautiful vibrant colorful artistic place here in the
daytime people eating up there at night it uh it changes quite a bit at night right now
it's nice I love these old streets though if you get here early enough in the morning
they've got pressure washers out and street sweepers at night these Corners right here
will just reek of urine and puke and the occasional I got one coming right now horse carriage
[Music]
oh we're in the artsy fartsy area lots of Art and then it opens up in here it's like
a mini little Central Park yeah okay this is a Jackson Square here in New Orleans what

really earned these sunny days though like literally I've done my time to enjoy this
