Nice, I can not imagine the area before the dams, would be so much drier and not as green.

Me too, have you done from June Lake to this point? I really want to try that next :)

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing That would be too much for me to handle even when I was younger and healthier. But I've heard of it. I think others have enjoyed it

Thanks, always fun at Helens!

So busy now I can only put a video up every 2 or 3 days, trying not to run out.

Nice, I like that town. I wish the Washington coast was like Oregon. Hiking on the beach?

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing yes we walked around ohllala reservoir which is about 1 hr . Then did some trails on the beach

Glad you enjoyed it, I did not want to leave :)

You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it :)

You are welcome. I have totally forgotten this drive, I need to watch it again!

Nope, it should not do that. Mine still charges to 100% every time. I would take it back and try another one.

Chips for the win!

Nice, I can never get enough of eastern Oregon :)

Wow, that is hot. We used to go to Santa Monica and LA a lot, very fun but I don't miss the traffic!

True, the trip got really cold and didn't quite work out the way I had hoped but it was still fun :) I probably won't go back until this fall now.

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing you should check out Snow lake hike Snoqualmie pass. It's a beautiful hike

We did that last year, it was amazing, I have a video of it. I just discovered that it can be reached from a different hike using Dingford Road in the Middle Fork area. I might be wrong on that road name, it is the unpaved road just past the bridge by the Middle Fork trailhead.

You are welcome Gregory :)

Awesome, Thanks! I can't wait to go back to that area and explore the mountains.

We were in the Salmon La Sac area, it was around 80 today, rest of the weekend looks iffy?

Cool, I will try and see the main business district next time.

I want a van someday, enjoying the project M so far :)

Not yet, I will try and go this fall once the timed entry ends.

Eastern, Central, and the coast of Oregon are amazing. I think it might actually have more to see than the state of Washington!

I wish I had more time to stop but I am not retired yet. My rambling was worse in this video, I have gotten better at talking less, I do agree less talk and more silence is better! Watch a newer video and you should see the difference :) I hope you have more years left than you think!

This was a bad night drive for me, I wanted to stay in a campground but they were all under construction or private. I did find an open free spot by the river just past Avery. Most of my trips I have a destination to get to so I can not explore as much as I would like. This was one of my first times trying to explore the backroads, in many of my previous videos I would always stick to the pavement when driving a 25 foot RV that comes with no spare tire!!! No RV now but a 4x4 truck, way more confident. Even better with 10 ply AT tires, ditched the horrible highway 3 ply. I am learning and getting better!

I am working on getting more comfortable in dispersed areas with no cell coverage, it is different for me since I did not grow up in areas like that.

This was during Covid, all the forest service offices were still closed. My Atlas and Gazetteer are not as detailed. So happy to see the offices open now, I have since learned about the nice paper maps that most have showing in great detail the back roads and camping spots. I even discovered that some forests have made digital maps that can be loaded into the Gaia GPS app.

Nice, I love that area. So peaceful and scenic, he is lucky to live there. I would take that over the city any day!

Nice. Check out the area around Salmon La Sac, tons of back roads and hiking trails in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing oh yeah I am very familiar. Alpine lakes wilderness is my go-to up here. Hidden gem

I love it, we just discovered the area last year! Did the Waptus River trail to Waptus Lake, a long 20 mile day hike :)

100 degrees, where are you now? I use the RUclips studio dashboard. Every month I get at least 1 person who wants me to hire them to help my channels SEO. One of the biggest things I could do now is use keywords in my titles that are trending in RUclips search but then a person wouldn't be able to tell where or what I was doing. Most travel channels never say where they are now, instead it is "Wow, I wish I had been here before" or " Wow, I found the most beautiful place ever" Every video no matter what is just expressions like that. I want people to be able to search my channel and find places, when searching on a channels home page it only looks at words in the video titles. Also, if I took the time to do close captioning that would supposedly help a lot to, that would take me forever though. Last, if I was full time I would be more unique, to many people do what I do. I still enjoy it though, it is fun to document my journeys :)

I don't know how social blade does their future predictions but that would be cool if true. I wonder if RUclips gives preference to older channels and as so many quit over the years existing channels get more thumbnails and better luck with the algorithm?

Hello my friend, I hope you are doing well :) That part of the state is amazing, will try and get back there again later this year.

The Evergreen to Georgetown area is the best, I love that part of Colorado! You would be so lucky to live there :)

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing Thank you br safe out there

Hello my Canadian friend, how goes it up there? I am looking forward to a visit this year!

Since this drive I bought a California camping book, there are almost no camping spots in that part of the state! The few like the one by Eagle Lake have very short seasons, generally Memorial Day to Labor Day.

@AmericanOutbackAmazing no there are lots and lots of places to camp. Antelope Lake and crater lake, butte lake, and many more. Next time, stop at the visitor center or even ask a local. Throw away your book, lol.

It is such a fun place to visit.

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing never visit during October fest, like to visit once this year!

It is stuck in the 70's and 80's. I think I like it because it is an oasis in the middle of nowhere with food and fuel!

Awesome, should be a fun drive to the beach!

You are welcome, even on a cloudy day it was better than I thought it would be :)

I was thinking that also we get a rare glimpse of Brian's wife

@Roscoesadie haha ..I never knew his name til now. Hi Brian! 👋

Hello :)

I try and sneak video of her!

That turned out well!

You are welcome, so glad they make you happy :)) I wish I had the strength to do a hike every day!

I did get a DJI drone from Costco but never used it yet. I don't really want to install the app, not sure I trust the Chinese company to not steal my phone info after having to give it so many permissions for access.

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing DJI is the leader in drone technology. I use a burn phone on visible for mine. Unlimited everything and data and hotspot for $30 month. I bought a used Motorola edge Plus 23 on Amazon for like $300. Nothing is on the phone so I could care less about China

I thought about doing that, a cheap burner phone would solve the problem :)

You are welcome. Shelton is in a nice location, close to Olympia and easy access to the ocean!

Minus the bumps that was a fun road :)

Wow, that would be something to experience!

@AmericanOutbackAmazing 22 kids at one time was the max. Most of the time, there were only like 15 kids. Went from grade K to 9th if I remember correctly. Was fun.

You mean the Northwest Forest Pass or the Discover Pass?

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing The Annual Northwest Forest Pass is honored at all day use, standard amenity recreation fee sites managed by the Forest Service in national forests in Washington and Oregon.

Yep, I need to get a new NW Forest Pass, I hate leaving my $80 annual pass out on the dash.

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing yup. Smash and grab.

I grew up in Nebraska. It would mainly be for cheaper housing and a central location once we are both retired. My dream is to travel cheaply for 2 weeks by camping and then be home 2 weeks, something like that so we could take care of things around the house etc. I miss being able to go to the east coast and the south easily, the west is pretty great but I also want to see eastern Canada someday. I used to want to travel around in an RV but not anymore, to much money and stress of fixing things.

@@AmericanOutbackAmazing so you know then! Yeah, we live in Oklahoma City because this is where family is but we like how it’s centralized I can get to Colorado in seven hours. I can get to my family in Ohio. I can see my friends on the East Coast and the West Coast and there’s so much to explore, I just can’t stand how hot it gets in the morning in the evenings during the summer and really miss that West Coast weather. We live between here and California normally but we live on the Central coast near SLO so it never usually gets hotter than 65 maybe 70 it’s great. i’m home for the summer in Oklahoma and it’s just so different. I have to stay inside and can’t enjoy the outside. I get up at 5 o’clock in the morning to try to catch the cool air but there’s still walls of heat. It makes me long for car camping on the coast. I love watching your videos, especially when you drive around Hood sport!

I missed the chips! I want to go back to North Dakota someday and see the Roosevelt National Park and grasslands in the area, will have to try those then.
