We Found New Mexico’s BEST RV SPOT! Epic Sand Sledding + Eric Broke His Tailbone. | Transcript:

Oh god, that was bad. Hey, you remember that time I broke my tailbone in Bali? Did you do it again? It just happened again. Why'd you do it? Woo! Well, y'all shouldn't have done the last run cuz my butt hurts bad. Oh, man. That really hurt, you guys. Good morning, adventures. Good morning. If you've been following along, you know that we are back to RV life, and it feels so right.

We're in it. Oh my gosh. If you guys caught our last video, we did the drive from the Austin area out west to the Los Cusus area in New Mexico. We met up with our friends Phy and Key. Actually met them for the first time. And we've been talking online for a while now, but finally met in person. They have the most adorable little camper van. Maybe more adorable than Clementine. I don't know, but probably not. I think it is here. It's all original in there, and it is the sweetest little camper. It's got like all this wood stuff in there. I'm in love with it. But we just came to a little off-grid spot and uh realized when we woke up, we

had absolutely no food other than some leftover chicken and some cheese and rice. So, Alison whipped that together. Yep. This was This is a meal at some point in the day, right? Why not for breakfast? We're just going to kind of play it by ear. We really want to go see White Sands National Park, which is right nearby, and there's just a ton of awesome nature in the area. So, we're going to get down to something. We'll do one or two things. Stay tuned. But first, coffee, breakfast, getting ourselves sorted. Yeah. Putting makeup on, doing my hair, and then we will be off.

We had grand plans to get out and see White Sands, but these two came over and we've just been chatting and hanging out. Will you guys quit BEING SO INTERESTING ALREADY? WE GOT FUN STUFF to go do. Yes. All right. But I think we're about to get our asses in gear, right? Literally got to get our RVs in gear. See if ours even starts. Okay. Break one niner. This is Clementine aka Big Bera coming at you loud and clear.

We are loose of the goose and ready to roll over. Okay, you sound way cooler than me. Who are we? They're big ber. We're Milo. I don't have a drink. We have hit the road and uh these guys were smart enough to bring little walkies so we can talk with them. This is a legit convoy now. All right, now we're just missing the travel beans, but they will make an appearance eventually. But our plan is to head to a little spot to park nearby White Sands and I think we're going to all hop in the Suzuki. head over to White Sands and then hopefully have a very fun adventure in store. It's like one of the must do

things in New Mexico, right? So, we are so excited to actually try it. Well, we did do it once a long time ago, but it was a long, long time ago. Literally a decade ago when we first started the channel and we were doing our first ever road trip. So, it's coming full circle, y'all. Billy, what is this? Um, no. I think it's like a checkpoint inspection area, but they'll probably just wait me through. Should we tell them about all our drugs?

Leave out the part about the meth. They're kind of, you know, picky about that. Okay, got it. Hey, that was your guys' first border patrol checkpoint, huh? Yeah, that was pretty nerve-wracking. I'm not going to lie. We don't do a lot of those. It looks more intimidating than it actually is. I mean, I don't know what their criteria is. I would think they take a look at our rigs and really want to inspect them, but they just waved us through. Or maybe look at what's going on here as well. Definitely got to inspect this hippie. But this girl can shift. She might be older than Milo, but she can still shift.

Oh yeah, baby. Oh yeah, she can take those hills. He can't. Oh yeah. That's why Sorry, we were going a little faster than you guys. It's all good. All right, back on the road. Let's do it. Oh my gosh, you guys. We found another tarantula. Where are you going? That is beautiful. Have you guys ever seen one before? Not size. No, it's not size. Oh my. You want to come cuddle? That makes the one we seen the other day look like a house spider.

Yeah. All right. Now, the plan is to go directly to White Sands. And to do that, we are all going to pile in Little Ruby Suzuki. All right. Climb on in, guys. Do you want me to take something? There's a cup holder, though. We're fancy like that. Fancy. Yeah. It's bigger when you get back there. It's just getting in sucks. This is cute. This is an experience. Oh my god. I feel like the novelty is going to wear off very quickly.

Oh, yeah. About 5 minutes. All right. How's your leg room back there? It's amazing. Loads of leg room. I mean, I'm aing my knees, but I'm tiny. I have a full foot in front of me. Awesome. White scans, here we come. You know, we had to make a quick stop at the visitor center to get our sand sleds. What? And it was actually almost barely more expensive to buy them. So, we own these. Yeah. All right. Here, you guys can take those. Thank you. This is like some protection. Oh, yeah. There you go. In case we roll over.

There's no airbox in this thing. Oh, hell no. Little colder out here than I thought it was going to be, huh? I didn't get the memo. I'm wearing shorts. Let's go. Do that. Woohoo. Well, as expected, sand sledding is awesome, man. You can really get a lot of speed on these dunes. So, we are out in the desert. I don't think you have to worry about too much out here, but there are two critters that are very dangerous. The second most dangerous is a little guy we learned about called the hairy sand scorpion. But there's one creature that is the deadliest of all. And you'll never know where he'll pop up.

That's right, y'all. The surf shark is back and they're once again sponsoring this video. Should I try it on my feet next time so I'm actually a surfing shark? No, I'm not going to do that. So, you guys already know we use a VPN when we're on strange Wi-Fi networks to keep our connection more secure. And that applies even more when we're road tripping because we are constantly working at coffee shops all over the country. Every site has trackers and annoying pop-ups, but Surf Shark blocks all that BS with one button. And sometimes you can even find cheaper prices on plane tickets just by turning on your VPN. And most importantly, Surf Shark can get around that pesky georestricted content. You can head to surf shark.com/theless or use code the

endless at checkout to get four extra months of Surf SharkVPN. Shark mask not included. Guys, we are very sorry about our very bad audio. Our microphone apparently broke and we didn't realize until well into this video. So, luckily Philly and Keely over there who are being really normal right now. They let us use their microphone which is a bit bigger. I don't know if they've got something to prove, but it has been proven. Check this thing out, y'all. What the heck? Oh, yeah. Man, it's so furry. All natural over here. Are we compensating? I don't know. And look, I put it on my clip here and it look it looks like a growth coming off of my body.

It's a pet. What the heck? There's the angriest little storm off in the distance. It's fantastic. And then behind us, you have the sun setting over the dunes. It's just so pretty. I love it. It's so neat that here it's just like so bright and stark white and there's nothing. And then there's just big mountains that way, big mountains that way, and clouds all around us. And then little Allison right in the middle of it all. Taking it all in. We're doing a cartwheel contest apparently. Uh 7.5. Oh, wow. Oh, 9.5. Get in there, girl.

Yay. All right. That was a 10. That was a straight up 10. Hey, that was pretty good. I would say that's probably on par with mine. Whoa. What? Okay. Why are you so like fit? Okay, these guys did not realize there was a bump at the end. I think they might both be dead. Hey, you remember that time I broke my tailbone in Bali? Did you do it again? That just happened again. Did you? Whose idea was it to do one more sled?

You son of a Why'd you do it? All right. Knocked the wind out of me. Uh, are you okay? Yeah, I don't know. I think so. Oh, y'all shouldn't have done the last run cuz my butt hurts bad. He thinks he broke his tailbone maybe again. Why do I always get hurt? I don't know if you guys remember, but I busted my tailbone in Bali many years ago. Oh my god, you guys. I might have actually broke my tailbone on that one. But uh because I'm hurt, Philly and Keely are going to drive or one of them's going to drive. Who's driving?

Okay, Keyy's driving. If I can get in here. Oh yeah. Give me a little boost. Just grab my ass. Oh god. Oh man, that really hurt you guys. Is it working? Turn it on. Is your clutch in? Oh, sorry. No. Do you have to do that? Yeah. The clutch is this one, right? Okay. Oh yeah. Parking brake. Oh yeah. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, Billy. I'm driving. I love driving so much, Philly. I'm driving a Jeep in the middle of White Sands, New Mexico.

How do we get here? Like, what? With two guys with broken tailbones? Oh, god. How's it feel being in the back of Ruby instead of the front? It's been a long time. It's pretty fun. Yeah. I forget. It's It's surprisingly spacious back here in here. Like getting into it sucks, but once you're back here, it's nice and cozy. You're doing a great job up there. Yeah. I can't believe you're letting me drive your vehicle. I love it. We all survived. It's almost like you know how to drive.

Now we can let the adults take back over. Trying to assess the damage on my tailbone, you guys. It hurts so bad sitting in the car that I had to get out and walk a little bit. So, we went to the supermarket to grab supplies for tonight. And it hurts pretty bad. I was about to say that it looks like damage was done. Well, I mean, I don't know that I can do anything other than just accept it and live with the pain. But anyways, we are going to head to a spot for tonight, but uh since Bill and Key cooked in our last evening together, we are going to cook this evening, right? Yes. This bloke just scared the hell out of me. I tried.

He just popped up. He didn't even say anything. Night has fallen and we have invited some strangers into our van. Very sinister. Oh yeah. Hey guys. We're just We're eating the snacks. Allison's cooking up some grub. I'm making some spaghetti and some sort of sauce with everything I had in the pantry. We're just hanging chilling. It's a good night. Eric's only mildly complaining from his tailbone. It's starting to hurt, y'all. Not going to lie. I'm dreading sleeping.

Well, I think you might have broken it. Philly might have bruised it. Yeah, I'll see you in the morning. Yeah, we'll compare later on video. Yeah, I don't know if you guys really caught it, but we were like, "Oh, let's do one last run." He goes down and I'm like, "OH, YEAH, GREAT." And then I go down and then we both hit our tail boats. I'm also trying to get these guys to say toy boat five times fast. Go. Toy boat. Wow. Toybo. Toy boat. AH, SO CLOSE. This is my favorite little tongue twister because it's so simple and nobody can do it except me, of course.

Oh, that's yours. Evidence. Toybo. Toy boat. Okay. But I've been practicing for like a decade. All right, y'all. Dinner is served and it is full on vegan once again. I'm coming around though. It's been tasting freaking awesome. Well, yours is not vegan. Oh, that's not vegan. Oh, I thought Well, you didn't even ask me. I wanted the vegan cheese. Oh, this one IS We're just chilling, having our nibbly bits. We got McGee bumping. Oh, yeah. If you guys haven't listened to McGee yet, no. Give them a listen. Okay. I'm not talking to you guys. I'm talking to them. But they haven't listened either. But that's our new jam. Thanks for coming over, you guys.

We're out in the middle of nowhere. A murderer could show up at any moment. But maybe they're already here. Raw dog. YOU'RE GOING TO RAW DOG. WHAT THE HECK? I see the way I didn't even flinch. That's for if you show up in a Jason mask, you're going to get that. Okay. Well, I have it now. So, well, shoot. You would be the first person to die in a horror movie. Yeah, that's me. And that's really sharp, too. I know. Yeah. I want to touch everything that whatever you do. See you guys.

We don't have to be up super early. Thank you so much. Yep. Have a good one. See you in the morning. Bye. Miss you. Bye. We have people over for one night and everything gets trashed. This is what happens in an RV cuz there's just so little room that every surface gets covered in 2 seconds. We've been off grid so we haven't been able to dump the trash and our trash is little bitty. So, we don't have any left. So, everything's going to get piled over here until the morning. And I sorted out. Well, it's official. There's sand everywhere in our RV. Everywhere. Freaking sand dunes. And my hair. If I do this, it just pours out. There's still some in my the wrinkles of my shirt. It's still falling out. It reminds me of that episode of

Seinfeld where Kramer gets back from the beach. Look at that. I even got SAND IN THE POCKETS. HEY, COME ON. YOU'RE GETTING IT ALL OVER THE FLOOR. Bad news. My tailbone hurts very, very badly. Oh no. Standing, sitting, this butt cheek, that butt cheek, doesn't matter. It all hurts. Why? Oh, why did I do that last run? I blame Philly though. He went first. But this is just the start of our friendship RV life gang. We're about to add to it, you guys. I'm so excited. Friendship RV life gang. Yeah, I'm going to make t-shirts that say that. But for now, I have to attempt to climb up into this bed. And every single step that I take hurts.

Okay. Do we all watch him do it now? Okay. Go. I don't want to do it on the camera. No, let's let's cut to next the next day. I'll fill you in, y'all. Don't worry. Yeah. Okay. Well, anyways, we will see you guys tomorrow. Good night. Well, good morning, y'all. We slept pretty well in our off-grid spot in spite of there being sand all over our bodies and in our bed. And we didn't realize it until this morning. Well, we changed. We thought that was enough, but it was not enough. Well, you know how it is when you go to the beach or you do anything in sand, it just gets everywhere. Okay, so if you go to White Sands, do a proper shower

before you even go back into your rig. Well, that was a pretty awesome first adventure with those guys. Man, White Sands is such a blast. It's awesome. It's just so wild and so unassuming in the middle of New Mexico. Like, who would think there'd be these magical sand dunes? Yeah, we had to cut out a bunch of clips. I cuz we had mentioned how our mic wasn't working and uh it destroyed like half of the clips that we did at the sand dunes. You couldn't hear anything. It was horrible. But sadly, that was not the only

difficulty we have been having on this trip. There have been some things going on behind the scenes in Clementine. Yes. But we will get to that in our next adventure. Well, it wouldn't be an Endless adventure without a misadventure, would it? But we'll link to Philly and Key in the description below, or you can just type them in on YouTube. But definitely check them out. Those guys are just a hoot. They are so much fun. They have so much energy. I thought we had a lot of energy. They are We can't match that. Yes. Goodbye, adventurers. We'll see you on the road.
