Oregon born and raised. 29 yrso. If your actually on the coast still. You got about 6 hours until you reach peak beauty. “Natural bridges” gold beach. Come visit I’ll take ya! Love the vids guys
Been in Oregon since 1975. Had a beach cabin in Pacific City. I have had the pleasure of seeing the west and east coast line. Have to say the Pacific coast is spectacular from Washington to southern California.
Oregon 101 (southbound) is one of our favorite drives. We recently drove from Port Townsend (I am the guy that commented to you about Tommy Knockers restaurant) to just north of San Francisco on 101 (we continued on to San Diego on alternate routes). If your stay at Umpqua was recent, you might have seen friends of ours that did a 3 month volunteer gig at the lighthouse. Not sure where you are now, but highly recommend hiking somewhere along the Avenue of the Giants. Safe travels.
It's become one of the highlights of the trip! We were spoiled with the weather. We didn't go into the lighthouse so didn't see anyone unfortunately. But we fell head over heels in love with Oregon. We saw the Redwoods this week! 😃 💛
Love the technical term... Bloody big bridge! 😂 Those shots of the Oregon coast at are just out of this world! 😮 Def going to check out Gracie's clams if we're ever over that way! 😅 xx
Hi ya Chesca,Ben River and Scout ,awesome to see another video , we have the coffee trailers on the roadside . Take care and stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺☕️🥰
I never realized how beautiful the Oregon coast is. One of the things I love about your travels is seeing the absolute beauty of our world. Can't thank you enough for sharing it all with us. Be well and safe travels. :)
I'm an Oregon native. I've traveled half the U.S, every state in the west up to Texas. In my opinion no other state is nearly as beautiful, and it has an amazing climate.
In 1980 my wife (then girlfriend) and I took our first camping trip together down the Oregon Coast and have been many many times again over the years. We never tire of the beautiful and rugged scenery and as Ben mentioned I think the coast is the closest one would get to parts of the coastal UK. I think one has to think of the coast as one long skinny National Park and as such the lack of, "park ups" as you call them helps preserve the beauty and ruggedness of the area. You guys are sympathetic to making sure you leave an area in as good or better condition than you found it but so many don't, which is a shame.
Yes! I ended up cutting it out the video but parts of it reminded me of the Cornish coast. it was so beautiful and rugged. The Cornish coast suffers from the same problem - lots of people wanting to wild camp but now, mostly prohibited. Too many people doing van life can ruin a place - especially when people decide to set up there for weeks on end and make it impossible for people in cars to visit beauty spots. The 16 hour parking limits on those spots in Nye Beach were a really great compromise in our eyes! Gave us somewhere safe to park but we had to be gone in the morning! 💛
The people who told you about the Oregon coast were not pulling your leg the scenery was spectacular i'm so glad you have a drone it gives us such an amazing perspective of the areas you go through thanks for bringing us along looking forward to next weeks adventure Karl from eastern Canada
I don't think so!! It seems to be a universal thing 🤪 Sign of a good relationships - are you listening to podcasts or reading out signs to each other 😆 xx
Wow, I seem to start every comment I put under your videos with wow! I had no idea Oregon had the most amazing beaches. I want to see everything you see now. Incredible. Thanks again for sharing your journey. Amazing x
We seem to be running out of words too 😂 Oregon was incredible, that coastline has to be one of the most beautiful we've ever driven. White powdery beaches for hundreds of miles! 💛
Lifelong Oregonian here, the coast is amazing, but so much more to Oregon...coast, cascades, desert, plains, rolling grasslands...we have it all...im a forrest fan and ghost towns are always fun
i have been to Washington state many times and never ventured into Oregon before. i never knew it was that spectacular! thanks guys for the great video definitely enjoying your videos and looking forward to the rest
Sounds like you were enjoying my neck of the woods. We live across the street from the Pacific Ocean between Newport where we shop (where you stayed at Nye Beach) and tiny Waldport where my husband crabs. We love it here. Every day the ocean scape changes. Right now the seals across the street are barking day and night and we sleep well listening to the waves roll in and crash against the rocks. Saw you were in Depoe Bay watching whales. I'll have to try the crab mac and cheese next time we take a drive up to check out the whales. I heard you say the Shearwater Inn while you were reading names of places in Lincoln City. We rented a room there this summer for the kite festival they had and really enjoyed the huge kites and to people watch from the balcony. Just started watching you today and it was all about our area. Will continue and get caught up on others. Thanks. Kathleen
Hi Kathleen! Oh wow we really were in your neck of the woods!! You live in a stunning part of the world. We were lucky with beautiful weather but can imagine it's a magical coastline in any weather. Would love to see it when it's moody and stormy too. Definitely recommend trying out the crab mac n cheese! Honestly it was amazing 🤤 Say hi to Oregon for us, we miss it already 💛
I love your passion. I've been up and down the Pacific Coast of the US numerous times and absolutely love it. Never tire. You guys are like kids in a candy shop.
Haha it's an incredible stretch of coast. More beaches and coves than you could possibly see in one lifetime. And we were blessed with the most amazing weather for it too. Although I bet it looks so atmospheric in the mist and fog too.
Finally able to watch your video and it didn't disappoint. Hurricane Lee came to visit NS so we were without power for almost 4 days. I have always read the signs. Our kids would make jokes about it when we went on road trips when they were young. It's been 10 years since we travelled the Oregon coast and after watching your drone shots, I'm ready to go back!!!
What a beautiful coastline Oregon has. Looks like we came out of hurricane Lee unscathed and thankful ❤. Coastal areas had very high waves and lots of sea foam at Lawrencetown Beach Nothing worse than having no coffee or tea😮 safe travels ❤
Still gusty here in Cape Breton but we got off OK. So enjoying the spectacular Oregon coast. Just returned from our trip in the Yukon and up to the Arctic Ocean on the Dempster with our family. It was amazing.@@OverlandingSophia
Reading signs, we do that. It's all about being observant. The amount of times when speaking to friends they say they haven't seen such and such or didn't notice something. We reckon we must be really nosey or we prefer inquisitive or enquiring. Like you we see stuff and get to know our way around.
The Oregon Coast was the first road trip my husband and I took after we were married. Would even hop in the car after work and head down there for 3 to 5 days in every season for a few decades. Your stunning video and especially those gorgeous,gorgeous, gorgeous (just had to add one more in lol) drone shots made us "homesick" for it again. Don't know how one can be homesick for a place that has never been home but that entire coastline is just pure magic and always calls us back to it. So glad to see that you guys got the best weather for it as well except the darn cloud bank forming before sunset. Cloud banks and fog does make the coast tricky to visit. Love those sand dunes as well to explore. That was super cool to see the lighthouse light at night. Always stayed far enough away from it that we had to head back to the motel. It was fun to realise just where you were before you even said it. Fantastic that you got to see whales (well Ben saw them lol) at Depoe Bay. The whale trips from there are fantastic since they don't have to go out too far to spot them after leaving the harbour. What a shame about people taking advantage and making it harder for people like yourselves that respect the rules and keep things clean as possible. Oh and yes always always reading the signs out loud. lol Continued safe travels and thank you for sharing your travels and all the amazing facts/history you share as well.
Love the cinematic lines on intro. Those beaches are incredible!! Love how excited Ben is over the Goonies 😂 the golden light on that sunset was just so dreamy ❤️❤️❤️
It’s funny you mentioned about reading the road signs to each other. My ex-husband used to do that all the time and it drove me insane because he didn’t even read them. I swear he looked at the first two letters and the last and made up the rest so he never got it right. Drove me nuts. lol I’ve never been to Oregon, but it looks amazing. What a gorgeous shoreline and the beaches are beautiful and clean. This was an incredibly beautiful video. Thanks for sharing, and safe travels and hugs from Nova Scotia, Canada. 🇨🇦 🤗
Omg that sounds like something Ben would do and it would drive me nuts too 😂 He either reads out the signs or he completely ignores them so when we miss a turn or he doesn't realise where we are, I'm like - did you not see the signs?! I swear he reads them half the time, ignores them completely the other half, haha. Oregon blew us away. Hands down one of the most beautiful coastlines we've seen, and we were spoiled with the weather 🌞 Sending love to Nova Scotia! xx
I'm glad you got to see some of the dunes. Absolutely beautiful. I'm going to go back there someday and drive the 101 all the way thru Oregon. Bucket list for sure!!
They were incredible! Would be lovely to hike through them but also kind of glad we didn't have to trudge through deep sand 😂 Definitely a bucket list road trip!! I drove Big Sur many years ago and I think the Oregon coast is more spectacular 💛
My boyfriend and I are currently on a US roadtrip, making our way over from the east coast. We'll be hitting the Oregon coastline in a couple of weeks and this vlog has got me so excited for it!
LOVE to hear this! You're going to have an amazing time. Hope the sun shines for you in Oregon, we lucked out on the weather and it made it feel like paradise in places. Safe travels guys 🥳 💛
Those beaches were absolutely stunning, you can see how many films have used them. What a spectacular road to travel along, I would find it so hard to leave them. It's seriously making me re-evaluate what I'm going to do going forward. Loving these videos. Stay safe with love Sue and Bryn xx
Yes! It's really like being on a film set. Think you could spend a lifetime exploring that stretch of coastline. Well, as long as you and Bryn are happy and life is full of adventures, you will be doing fine. Can't wait for our catch up when we finally make it home 🥰 Sending love to you both xxx
I live in Salem oregon, and we visit the coast often its beautiful I love it so much ❤ enjoy. Yachats is an amazing place to visit the cutest small town with calm vibes and welcoming folks.
OMG!!! The Oregon coast is so beautiful, and the light show from the lighthouse is amazing. So sorry to hear of your plight with the caffeine, and hope you made it safely to a coffee shop to refuel. LOL Thanks for sharing all your amazing travels with us. Much love and light to you all.
If you ever go back to Canada you should see the Athabasca Sand Dunes provincial park in Northern Saskatchewan. The most northerly sand dunes. We found one of our dogs on a trip to California. He was dumped as a puppy in the Oregon caves. He was as black as the dead of night and he fell asleep on the black rubber mat of our wheel well. We smuggled him home with us to Vancouver BC and he was the best dog ever.
No way!! Oh my you are absolute legends in our eyes for saving him!! Can't believe someone would dump him in the caves 😢 Thank you for giving him a new life ❤️ 🐾
Hi Ben and Chesca. Just a note to say hi. Currently 3 weeks into my Camino Frances doing a fundraiser for Dekafok. Will catch up with your vlogs when I get home. Keep trucking
It is unbelievably beautiful...so happy to here you remiss nova Scotia..we have just had another hurricane Lee this time and maybe i remember you were here for Feona ....happy trails safe journeys from the Annapolis valley Nova Scotia Canada
We were indeed there for Fiona! She kicked us off Cape Breton! We were north of Cheticamp and saw the hurricane was going to hit us pretty much directly there, so we drove over to Wolfville and weathered it out. Had our first storm chips too! So glad Hurricane Lee wasn't as bad as Fiona, we were worried for you guys xx
Hey Guys, hope you’re well! I really like to see different bridges.. the drone coastline views are stunning! Gotta explore the caves otherwise my curiosity will not forgive me… it’s a beautiful drive, coastline drives are my favourite.. I don’t have a partner but I do read all the signs to myself. Yes remember that.. Ben got the best view! Sea hag? There’s something fishy about that place 😂😂.. I do like the bill arriving soon idea.. shame, it’s always the few that ruin it for the many at park ups.. I have to get a drone, so many good shots to be had.. spooky 👻 story.. why was Ben twerking 😂😂😂.. cake 🧁 and coffee, good price.. Hobbit Beach 🏖️ wow 😍.. looks nice, what was the temperature? That’s the problem with beaches, you end up with half of it in your shoes 😂.. the lighthouse is like a good light show as you said.. anyway, thanks always for sharing, have fun for the next week x
So many bridges and caves here, you’d love it! Ahah the chowder was SEA-soned to perfection 😆 The drone is amazing for seeing where you are from a new perspective. I’m in love with flying it over here, it looks amazing anyway and then bam, endless turquoise seas. Kept looking for whales out to sea while it was up but didn’t see anything 😔 Hope you’re having a lovely weekend, sending love xx 💖
@@OverlandingSophia 😂😉👌.. love the return pun.. can’t wait to get back out there but the Frankenshed is a little unwell, love back from a finally autumnal Devon xx
When Ben said he can see Whales, I thought he had completely lost his bearings..., cos Wales is not in that direction 😂!!! So, how's ya Spanish doin'? Lookin' forward to Mexico..., i'ts on my bucket list.
Hahah he does lose his bearings sometimes but thankfully not that bad 😂 Spanish is getting there! Really looking forward to being in Mexico when we can practice it every day 💛
At the risk of repeating what you said....Wow!! That's going on the list of must visits! Plus- Chesca, you could do a storytelling channel... i was gripped!!!!🏴☠😆
Such a lovely place , the Oregon Coast....and to think only 1 year ago you were in Nova Scotia....wow Keep on the with the great videos and be sure to go find some COFFEE!!!!!
We can't believe it's a year since Nova Scotia! It was around this time we were hiding from Hurricane Fiona and getting ready to cross into Maine 😮 Where does the time go?!
Love traveling along with you two and your precious pups! Stunning scenery from the Oregon Coast. Sad to see you leave the US soon but looking forward to the rest of your journey through Central and South America!
It's really hard. We live in a 40 foot bus and usually camp in a state forest on the coast range. Tillamook and Clatsop state forests by Astoria and Seaside. There are some nice campgrounds on the Siletz River. There are very very few places on the coast unless you book ahead especially in summer. There are almost no pullouts that allow overnight parking anymore and that's sad. With all that being said if you drive 20 miles into the mountains you will usually find somewhere to boondock. Save travels, Llama bus 🦙🚌💨💨
Yep it really wasn't easy to find places the further south we got. Just shows what happens when a few people ruin it for the rest of us 😔 But Nye beach was a beautiful spot, right on the cliff top. Safe travels to you guys 💛
What a stunning coast line . That bridge is that the one they used in the program highway to heaven ??? They say it’s so steep it looks like the road is going into heaven .
I just love that you are enjoying this so much - it really is an amazing drive isn’t it! Your enthusiasm comes through in spades. It’s time I did it again. Think you’ll like Big Sur too - hope the 101 is open for you as it often gets closed from land slides. Thanks for another inspiring vid.
It's incredible! We knew it would be beautiful but the Oregon coast really blew us away. It's probably been one of the highlights of the trip so far. I did Big Sur in a camper van about 10 years ago and while it was stunning, the Oregon coast had a certain wild magic to it. We also think it's time you did it again! 💛
i loved the goonies so ty for the vid and love to see your dogs having fun made me feel a little sad as our dog daisy our lovely dog so missed passed on sept 1st our hearts broke anyway love to you both plus doglets great scenery wow xx
"It would be a crime if this cave wasn't used for smuggling!" So, a crime if it wasn't used for crime? 🤣😉 Oregon's coast just gets more and more rugged as you go south! 😍😍 You're gonna love it! Mimi and I honeymooned down the coast, many happy memories. A heads up on the coffee stands: if you see one that's painted pink and/or labeled as a "bikini barista", be prepared for an eyeful and an overpriced latte! 😳😳 Continued safe adventures!! ❤️❤️😎👍xx
Haha a crime to cancel out another crime, it makes sense in my head 😂 Ah it's such a beautiful place to honeymoon! Honestly I loved it more than Big Sur, ssh! And I must have cut it out of the video without realising BUT we have already spotted the bikini baristas! 😂 Was kind of hoping this was one but alas, it wasn't our lucky day 🤪 xx
Thank you for an absolutely wonderful video, form Hobbiton to Dune (two of my favorite places) and the this wonderful west coast. Now I have to buy a new Rv and travel from NS to the west coast and head south. Thinks" better get a house sitter"..........................
@@OverlandingSophia Guys that was outstanding, pure beauty, your coffee and cake was a good price. Yes my Mrs had her birthday also last week, Virgos are funny and adventurous. Safe travels guys. Yes we read all the signs on our travels.
My beautiful wife is a sign reader and she knows it drives me nuts. That said, we absolutely love oceanside drives. Oregon looks lovely. Also, the crab mac & cheese looked amazing!
Pahaha that probably makes her do it more 🤪 If you love oceanside drives, Oregon has to be up there with the best we've done. And the mac & cheese topped it off, SO good! 🤤
Amazing coastal road drive guys! I invite you to drive the Great Ocean Road here in Victoria Australia. Another mind bowing coastal drive you would love I know. They have great tea and coffee (Caffeine) along the way as well 👏☕️🫖🚐🌊❤
Are you gonna go see the big smiley face on the side of the mountain between Willamina and Grand Ronde near mile-marker 25 on Oregon 18? Though I'm not sure its visible yet, but it is there.
Here is a tidbit I bet you didn't realize. Look on your map, about 10 place names above the Oregon Sand Dunes area is a place called Newport. That is the same latitude as Halifax, Nova Scotia. About 175 km (I think) from the California border. Much closer than the British Columbia border.
The beach we stayed at - where we watched the sunset and it had the 16 hour parking limit - that was Nye beach just outside Newport! Feels like we haven't gone south much but you've put into perspective just how far we've really come 💛
Just after Peggy’s cove, did you guys stop at a campground to dump your sewage and fill up with water? One of the owners helped you? Pretty sure that was me! I’ve been following your journey all the way from Peggy’s Cove.
No I don’t think that was us! We stayed in a campsite in St Margaret’s Bay for 3 days after we picked up the van, then after Peggy’s Cove we went to Lunenburg and over to Baccharo Point 💛
I assume you post with some delay but if/when you reach Santa Cruz, ping me if you want a local guide. We are famous for surfing but its really the redwoods, which you have likely been driving through since Trinity that are our unique California beauties. (Don’t go to Muir Woods!)
When I was younger and went to Vancouver, Canada@@OverlandingSophia, I just heard lots of "eh and aboot" and people there were really nice. And the women in Canada/UK are much pretteir than here in America. Maybe it's all the pollution here, not sure? Shrug. lol
I live in Tillamook Oregon and I’ve tried camping on the coast and it’s not very friendly to RV camping or vans. I hope you guys found places I mean free places to sleep.
@@Aaron-P The Oregon Coast Highway is the 101 on our Google Maps? It becomes Hwy 1 just north of Fort Bragg in CA near Leggett? Confusion! Are our maps different?
@@OverlandingSophia yours are correct! I was trying to confirm you are on US 101 and that US Hwy 1 is along the Atlantic Coast. It gets confusing fast, but if the road sign has a white shield on a black background, it is a US Numbered Highway.
Oregon born and raised. 29 yrso. If your actually on the coast still. You got about 6 hours until you reach peak beauty. “Natural bridges” gold beach. Come visit I’ll take ya! Love the vids guys
Hard to pick the best spot on the west coast, but I do love the redwoods, goldbeach beautiful too

😊 Warms the heart with joy seeing you two with a new video pops up with the my coffee morning vibe, fun! Carry on.... 🏞🙃🌅
🥹 🥹 Thank you! Honoured to be a part of the Sunday morning coffee... a sacred time! 😇 💛
I hate waiting for the bill, I like it on the table before I finish eating, so I can leave when I'm ready.
Always a thumbs up 👍
It's such an alien concept to us!
Beautiful! Made me homesick for the gorgeous Oregon Coast! You were lucky with the weather! ❤️
We are always reading the signs out loud.... Are there people who don't??😂
Also, Ches, you're a fantastic story teller!
I don't think so!! It seems to be a universal thing 🤪 Sign of a good relationships - are you listening to podcasts or reading out signs to each other 😆 xx
One of our favourite trips!
One of our favourites now too! 💛

Yes! It's really like being on a film set. Think you could spend a lifetime exploring that stretch of coastline. Well, as long as you and Bryn are happy and life is full of adventures, you will be doing fine. Can't wait for our catch up when we finally make it home 🥰 Sending love to you both xxx
Thank-you for the 21min escape from the real world. Beautiful scenery, and great company.
You are more than welcome, thank you for joining us 💛
I live in Salem oregon, and we visit the coast often its beautiful I love it so much ❤ enjoy. Yachats is an amazing place to visit the cutest small town with calm vibes and welcoming folks.
OMG!!! The Oregon coast is so beautiful, and the light show from the lighthouse is amazing. So sorry to hear of your plight with the caffeine, and hope you made it safely to a coffee shop to refuel. LOL Thanks for sharing all your amazing travels with us. Much love and light to you all.
I cannot believe you didn't stop in Tillamook for the best cheese and ice cream in the USA!
I thought exactly the same thing!
We drove past and it was SO busy! 😅
Okay, you are excused :)
Well, if you get a chance while you're still in Oregon stop at a store and grab some. So good.
If you ever go back to Canada you should see the Athabasca Sand Dunes provincial park in Northern Saskatchewan. The most northerly sand dunes.
We found one of our dogs on a trip to California. He was dumped as a puppy in the Oregon caves. He was as black as the dead of night and he fell asleep on the black rubber mat of our wheel well. We smuggled him home with us to Vancouver BC and he was the best dog ever.
No way!! Oh my you are absolute legends in our eyes for saving him!! Can't believe someone would dump him in the caves 😢 Thank you for giving him a new life ❤️ 🐾
Ben that was some classy quirking you did there! Top notch. Omg what incredible beaches. Sending out lots of caffeine prayers for you's.🤣🙏💙
Little Sunday morning treat for you all 😂 💃 Thanks for the caffeine prayers, they worked! Now we have TOO much coffee 😂 xx
Thank you so much for all the stunning, gorgeous pictures! Safe travel!
Thank you for the kind words, and for joining us! 💛
Hi Ben and Chesca. Just a note to say hi. Currently 3 weeks into my Camino Frances doing a fundraiser for Dekafok. Will catch up with your vlogs when I get home. Keep trucking
Oh wow!! How is it going?! Sure that you’re absolutely smashing it! 💪
It is unbelievably beautiful...so happy to here you remiss nova Scotia..we have just had another hurricane Lee this time and maybe i remember you were here for Feona ....happy trails safe journeys from the Annapolis valley Nova Scotia Canada
We were indeed there for Fiona! She kicked us off Cape Breton! We were north of Cheticamp and saw the hurricane was going to hit us pretty much directly there, so we drove over to Wolfville and weathered it out. Had our first storm chips too! So glad Hurricane Lee wasn't as bad as Fiona, we were worried for you guys xx
I love The Goonies!!! thanks for including those references!
Ah amazing! Last week was a Goonies fest! 🤩
Stunning coastline! Love the TWO shout outs for Nova Scotia
Hey Guys, hope you’re well! I really like to see different bridges.. the drone coastline views are stunning! Gotta explore the caves otherwise my curiosity will not forgive me… it’s a beautiful drive, coastline drives are my favourite.. I don’t have a partner but I do read all the signs to myself. Yes remember that.. Ben got the best view! Sea hag? There’s something fishy about that place 😂😂.. I do like the bill arriving soon idea.. shame, it’s always the few that ruin it for the many at park ups.. I have to get a drone, so many good shots to be had.. spooky 👻 story.. why was Ben twerking 😂😂😂.. cake 🧁 and coffee, good price.. Hobbit Beach 🏖️ wow 😍.. looks nice, what was the temperature? That’s the problem with beaches, you end up with half of it in your shoes 😂.. the lighthouse is like a good light show as you said.. anyway, thanks always for sharing, have fun for the next week x
So many bridges and caves here, you’d love it! Ahah the chowder was SEA-soned to perfection 😆 The drone is amazing for seeing where you are from a new perspective. I’m in love with flying it over here, it looks amazing anyway and then bam, endless turquoise seas. Kept looking for whales out to sea while it was up but didn’t see anything 😔 Hope you’re having a lovely weekend, sending love xx 💖
@@OverlandingSophia 😂😉👌.. love the return pun.. can’t wait to get back out there but the Frankenshed is a little unwell, love back from a finally autumnal Devon xx
Smashing video, loving all the drone footage! You have become my favourite YT'ers Mx
Thank you so much Mia, that's so lovely to hear 🥹
When Ben said he can see Whales, I thought he had completely lost his bearings..., cos Wales is not in that direction 😂!!!
So, how's ya Spanish doin'? Lookin' forward to Mexico..., i'ts on my bucket list.
Hahah he does lose his bearings sometimes but thankfully not that bad 😂 Spanish is getting there! Really looking forward to being in Mexico when we can practice it every day 💛
Welcome to the Oregon coast! Love it here…
What an incredibly gorgeous coastline!
So stunning! The beaches literally never end!
It's absolutely stunning. We read out unusual names on signs too. X
Glad to know it's not just us! xx
What a beautiful coastline. Glad to see the new video. My wife and I went to rest in St. Petersburg for 10 days. Greetings to you and safe travels.
It really is spectacular! Hope you both had a lovely break away 💛
Ben nerding out is awesome......
Nerds are cool 😎✨
Aweee how lovely... I lived on the oregon coast for a few years and miss it so much..was great to see it again through your eyes ❤
What a beautiful part of the world to live in! Hope this brought back some lovely memories for you 💛
At the risk of repeating what you said....Wow!! That's going on the list of must visits! Plus- Chesca, you could do a storytelling channel... i was gripped!!!!🏴☠😆
Haha thank you Sally, love me a good pirate story! 🏴☠️ 😆
Such a lovely place , the Oregon Coast....and to think only 1 year ago you were in Nova Scotia....wow Keep on the with the great videos and be sure to go find some COFFEE!!!!!
We can't believe it's a year since Nova Scotia! It was around this time we were hiding from Hurricane Fiona and getting ready to cross into Maine 😮 Where does the time go?!
Love traveling along with you two and your precious pups! Stunning scenery from the Oregon Coast. Sad to see you leave the US soon but looking forward to the rest of your journey through Central and South America!
It's wonderful to have you with us Theresa! We are really going to miss North America but very excited for some new horizons 💛
It's really hard. We live in a 40 foot bus and usually camp in a state forest on the coast range. Tillamook and Clatsop state forests by Astoria and Seaside. There are some nice campgrounds on the Siletz River. There are very very few places on the coast unless you book ahead especially in summer. There are almost no pullouts that allow overnight parking anymore and that's sad. With all that being said if you drive 20 miles into the mountains you will usually find somewhere to boondock. Save travels, Llama bus 🦙🚌💨💨
Yep it really wasn't easy to find places the further south we got. Just shows what happens when a few people ruin it for the rest of us 😔 But Nye beach was a beautiful spot, right on the cliff top. Safe travels to you guys 💛
What a stunning coast line . That bridge is that the one they used in the program highway to heaven ??? They say it’s so steep it looks like the road is going into heaven .
Hmm I'm not sure! Haven't seen the program but do know there's a road in Wyoming that looks like it's going to into the heavens!
Hey guys. Loving the videos of your trip. I would love to travel down the Oregon coast one day but till then this will do. Cheers beautiful people.❤😊❤
Hope you make it out here, it's one of our favourite places we've been in the US! 💛
Glad you're still enjoying the Road! Greetings from Cape Breton! Still watching and still wishing you both well!
Thank you so much! Makes us so happy to hear from our Nova Scotia fam 🥰 So glad you guys made it through Hurricane Lee unscathed 💛
I just love that you are enjoying this so much - it really is an amazing drive isn’t it! Your enthusiasm comes through in spades. It’s time I did it again. Think you’ll like Big Sur too - hope the 101 is open for you as it often gets closed from land slides. Thanks for another inspiring vid.
I'd guess ya can get Kerouac merch, 9155 ? ( if ya that way inclined) Read a lot of his stuff. He could tell a tale.
Read Kerouac when I was about 16, ignited a desire for the open road... and here I am, many years later!
It's incredible! We knew it would be beautiful but the Oregon coast really blew us away. It's probably been one of the highlights of the trip so far. I did Big Sur in a camper van about 10 years ago and while it was stunning, the Oregon coast had a certain wild magic to it. We also think it's time you did it again! 💛
Beautiful ❤️, stay safe on the next leg of your journey.
Thanks so much Cindy 💖💖
i loved the goonies so ty for the vid and love to see your dogs having fun made me feel a little sad as our dog daisy our lovely dog so missed passed on sept 1st our hearts broke anyway love to you both plus doglets great scenery wow xx
I read signs on road trips too, helps pass the time
Another beautifully shot video guys 🥰🥰
Thank you so much 🥹💖 xx
@@OverlandingSophia 😁😁😁❤️
"It would be a crime if this cave wasn't used for smuggling!" So, a crime if it wasn't used for crime? 🤣😉
Oregon's coast just gets more and more rugged as you go south! 😍😍 You're gonna love it! Mimi and I honeymooned down the coast, many happy memories.
A heads up on the coffee stands: if you see one that's painted pink and/or labeled as a "bikini barista", be prepared for an eyeful and an overpriced latte! 😳😳
Continued safe adventures!! ❤️❤️😎👍xx
Haha a crime to cancel out another crime, it makes sense in my head 😂 Ah it's such a beautiful place to honeymoon! Honestly I loved it more than Big Sur, ssh! And I must have cut it out of the video without realising BUT we have already spotted the bikini baristas! 😂 Was kind of hoping this was one but alas, it wasn't our lucky day 🤪 xx
Oh my!! 💖💟💖💟💖
Safe travels. I hope to wossaname you get the tea and coffee situation sorted.
Haha thank you, not sure he does much good anyway but appreciate the gesture 😉 💛
Thank you for an absolutely wonderful video, form Hobbiton to Dune (two of my favorite places) and the this wonderful west coast. Now I have to buy a new Rv and travel from NS to the west coast and head south. Thinks" better get a house sitter"..........................
Haha we are nothing if not enablers for you to do EXACTLY that. The road is calling Paul! 😉 💛
That sure was beautiful!!! And yes I am always reading signs while we drive ....it makes my husbnad crazy LOL
Hahaa it's almost like a tic, we don't realise we're doing it!
Your filming was incredible!
Thank you so much Del, the coastline here does most of the work 💛
Will be watching soon with a nice cuppa and ginger cake.
Sounds perfect! 🫶
@@OverlandingSophia Guys that was outstanding, pure beauty, your coffee and cake was a good price. Yes my Mrs had her birthday also last week, Virgos are funny and adventurous. Safe travels guys. Yes we read all the signs on our travels.
My beautiful wife is a sign reader and she knows it drives me nuts.
That said, we absolutely love oceanside drives. Oregon looks lovely.
Also, the crab mac & cheese looked amazing!
Pahaha that probably makes her do it more 🤪 If you love oceanside drives, Oregon has to be up there with the best we've done. And the mac & cheese topped it off, SO good! 🤤
I hope you get a clear, sunny day for PCH (California 1). Twisting and winding beauty @@OverlandingSophia
If I can suggest: go to UT and AZ before mexico. Love your channel
We drove Utah on our way north to Alaska! Had an incredible time, it's one of our favourite States! 💛
An epic episode love your energy take care
Thanks so much Shaun 🥹 💛
Thank you for keeping the dogs on leashes!
There is little side roads on the 101. No body should bother you as long as it's just over night
Amazing coastal road drive guys! I invite you to drive the Great Ocean Road here in Victoria Australia. Another mind bowing coastal drive you would love I know. They have great tea and coffee (Caffeine) along the way as well 👏☕️🫖🚐🌊❤
Ah one day we would love to! Australia is off the cards while we have the pups as the quarantine laws are so strict and £££! 💛
Happy belated birthday 🎉
Suck amazing views, you guys do such good work.
Safe travels
Thanks so much Russell! Heard you guys managed to avoid the worse of the hurricane x
@@OverlandingSophia yes we did thankfully.
WOW Stunning ❤❤❤❤
Cool lighthouse, U.S. 101 is a beautiful drive all the way to San Diego, safe travels guys ,still in the 80s in Vancouver lol , not sure why?
It’s been a beautiful drive so far. Quite cool here on the coast! No idea what it is in Fahrenheit 😂✨
Ohh lovely video as always - the best part has to be Ben's twerking !!!! good job - Chris & Marianne x
Haha Strictly needs to watch out 😂 xxx
Hey, on time and usual jabbering to follow x
Absolutely love it! Wondering what map you were using?
Born and raised on the oregon never gert tired of it
What an amazing place to grow up! One of the highlights of our trip so far 💛
I'm watching this 07/19/24 and wanted to wish you a belated/early birthday!
Aw thank you Martha! Officially my first happy birthday of the year ⭐️
@@OverlandingSophia 🎉🎂🎈
Yep, Frank Herbert wrote the Dune books.
Are you gonna go see the big smiley face on the side of the mountain between Willamina and Grand Ronde near mile-marker 25 on Oregon 18? Though I'm not sure its visible yet, but it is there.
I think we missed it! 😔
I love your videos. Have a great journey! Look into Harbin Hot Springs in Northern Cali. ;)
A little out of our way BUT we do have some pretty awesome hot springs lined up in Cali if it works out!
Here is a tidbit I bet you didn't realize. Look on your map, about 10 place names above the Oregon Sand Dunes area is a place called Newport. That is the same latitude as Halifax, Nova Scotia. About 175 km (I think) from the California border. Much closer than the British Columbia border.
The beach we stayed at - where we watched the sunset and it had the 16 hour parking limit - that was Nye beach just outside Newport! Feels like we haven't gone south much but you've put into perspective just how far we've really come 💛
We definitely read signs 😂
Not just us! 😂 🙌
Can't believe its been over a year already since you were in NS. 😯
I KNOW! Time is flying 😳
You stopped at the worst place to get coffee on the coast...lol (i live here, I'll never go back to that place)
Just be careful, some of those coffee shacks give you more than just coffee 🤣
Bikini baristas?! We've been keeping an eye out but the only one we saw was closed! 😂 👙
Just after Peggy’s cove, did you guys stop at a campground to dump your sewage and fill up with water? One of the owners helped you? Pretty sure that was me! I’ve been following your journey all the way from Peggy’s Cove.
No I don’t think that was us! We stayed in a campsite in St Margaret’s Bay for 3 days after we picked up the van, then after Peggy’s Cove we went to Lunenburg and over to Baccharo Point 💛
I assume you post with some delay but if/when you reach Santa Cruz, ping me if you want a local guide. We are famous for surfing but its really the redwoods, which you have likely been driving through since Trinity that are our unique California beauties. (Don’t go to Muir Woods!)
Thanks for the kind offer Carlos! Better to email us as its easy to lose track of YT comments after a while! 💛
Mo's on the Oregon coast is my favorite. But the lines can be a little off putting
Love your accents. Don't hear it very often. :)
Heard it lots in Canada but nothing down the west coast of the US 😄
We don't get it very often here in America unless it's people pretending aka "Actors" . lol@@OverlandingSophia
When I was younger and went to Vancouver, Canada@@OverlandingSophia, I just heard lots of "eh and aboot" and people there were really nice. And the women in Canada/UK are much pretteir than here in America. Maybe it's all the pollution here, not sure? Shrug. lol
I live in Tillamook Oregon and I’ve tried camping on the coast and it’s not very friendly to RV camping or vans. I hope you guys found places I mean free places to sleep.
Excuse me it's Highway 1. Speaking of whales, this is the gray whale route between Northern Alaska and mating grounds in Baja.
Definitely the 101 in Oregon 😊 Yes it is, saw so many just spouting off shore but never managed to grab it on camera!
Can confirm, US Hwy 1 runs on the eastern seaboard. Confusingly, California's State Route CA 1 does have concurrent sections with US 101, though.
Hey Portland can be a shit show but also had great resources
@@Aaron-P The Oregon Coast Highway is the 101 on our Google Maps? It becomes Hwy 1 just north of Fort Bragg in CA near Leggett? Confusion! Are our maps different?
@@OverlandingSophia yours are correct! I was trying to confirm you are on US 101 and that US Hwy 1 is along the Atlantic Coast. It gets confusing fast, but if the road sign has a white shield on a black background, it is a US Numbered Highway.
Amazing 💕
💞💞
Hey You Guys!
Haha yes!! 🙌
Sending thoughts and prayers. Hopefully you find some caffeine soon 🙏🙏
Omggg it worked!! Thank you 😂 🙏
