Great video! We were camped about 5 miles outside a Port Townsend for a month (mid May to mid June this year). I had my first Pasties at Tommy Knockers (so I can’t compare and contrast), but they were terrific! The staff was so pleasant…and the food outstanding. We went back to them a few times while in the area. If that is what UK Pasties are supposed to taste like…well…sign me up for more!!
Omg absolutely love this!! Ben says lamb and mint is the ultimate flavour but of course the traditional one is great too. Might have been less heartbroken if you said it was rubbish 😂 💛
My husband and I spent a lovely day in Port Townsend waiting on the ferry. Beautiful spot. We came across a young Elephant Seal laying on the sidewalk molting! I'm looking forward to reliving my journey through your eyes. Oregon is so beautiful!
Ah no way! We heard from a local they get lots of sea lions and seals but to see an elephant seal moutling must have been so cool. We are just loving the PNW so far! Only heard incredible things about Oregon 💛
I am from the US and while I have been to every state but Alaska, I am so envious of all of what you are exploring. I am nearly 68 yrs old but need to, perhaps, change my priorities.
Oh guys!! Soooo good to have you back and to be back on the road with you. And man, did I LAUGH when you were sorting out Bens foot…I had to dig a thorn out of johns this morning, and…well, you know 😉 happy travels friends! Until next week 🙏🏼
Just stunning! From the first glimpses, to the last vista as the sun sets. What a beaut. Feeling your pain, Ben, had a ganglion out of my foot a month ago and it's still giving me grief! Though, think you have a better story: capsizing in orca infested waters whilst channelling your inner hunter-gatherer 😉 Have a great week, and see you next Sunday! Massive hugs and love!! xx
Eek Ben's got one on his wrist! I'll let the doctor sort that one out though 😂 Thanks Kit, after hearing so much about the PNW it's pretty awesome to be here. And can confirm it lives up to all the foresty, dark, mysterious hype! xx
Nurse Chesca and orderly River performed great teamwork on Ben's foot owie. What a series of mishaps! Such a sweet pup to provide comfort in times like this. Beautiful country! If Jane says there could be Bigfoot in the forest, it could be true indeed. Happy trails!
Careful with the cut from the rocks. Nasty stuff on the barnacles. Soak in warm salt water at least twice a day. If it shows red and heat see a dr immediately. Don't play around, my friends father landed up losing his foot because of a " simple cut on the beach". Happy to see you back to posting your adventures.
Thanks for sharing another incredible video. I’m retired so I always know what day it is when your videos pop us. Lol I enjoy each and every one. 💕🥰 Stay safe
Brilliant video. My husband and I have hitchhiked both directions of the Pacific Coast highway, top to bottom and back twice and driven it 3 times. It's my favourite place on earth. I've been all over Canada, USA and 12 countries in Europe...and I still say it's my favourite. It's something about the cliffs and water and the feel of the freshest winds on my skin. Heaven on earth. It's lucky for me I like rain 🙃. I enjoyed this so much I'm watching it again. Sucks about the loss of your fishing rod and your wound....I hope you a speedy healing...ya big baby. Chess, you were extremely gentle.
Wow, you would be the person to go to for recommendations! So excited to hit the Oregon coast soon, we've only heard amazing things about it. And the rain just adds to the atmosphere here! We're parked in a cloud right now, amongst thick, mossy forest. It's like being on a film set. Magic! Haha yes Ben was being a big baby, not melodramatic at all 🤪 xx
It was quite a while ago now and I'm sure things have changed in the past 10 years. We camped on the beaches and in the forest with our little orange tent...so glad it was orange. One night we didn;t find a place to pitch the tent and we finally found a clearing near a town...much after dark. We had a great sleep until about 7 am when we heard all of the noise. We looked out of the tent to see all sorts of construction vehicles moving around. We had camped in the middle of a construction site :) The workers were so nice and bought us coffee from a coffee truck. Watch out for the sneaker waves!
Just wow yet again, such beautiful forest and sea scapes, it must be so difficult to leave. What an amazing achievement going to all those furthest points. Poor Ben with his cut foot, I hope it's healed, such a painful place. I was wiped out surf canoeing in Cornwall and rolled up the beach attractively grazing my face😅. What a shame the pastie shop wasn't open, a real taste of home. It was Bryns 3rd birthday yesterday, a shame I can't send you any pictures of him. Looking forward to next weeks episode, as ever stay safe, love Sue and Bryn xx
Ouch! Grazing your face must have been painful, there's never a graceful way of capsizing is there?! 😂 Happiest of birthdays to Bryn! Hope he got extra treats. River was 3 this year and Scout is 3 next April. Belly rubs and snuggles to Bryn from us 💕 🐾 xx
Love that you've gone here, it's such a beautiful forest landscape. I so enjoyed hiking through the Olympic Forest. Hope your foot is much better now Ben, it's no fun having a bum foot. Hopefully you can catch some fish down the road as well. I'm doing maintenance on the van, yesterday I changed the engine oil and this morning I'm heading under the van to change the oil in the generator. We have such a great facebook group that is so helpful in letting one another know how to maintain, fix and repair things on our rigs. Hope you're having a good weekend and in a lovely spot to enjoy before moving on. Safe travels!🤗☺
To see the look of surprised glee on your faces at the most north-westerly point of this vast country was priceless. With an unexpected milestone completed on the way, now on to more adventure and the big purpose of this massive expedition. Those painful bits, (yes Ben, I would have been a big wimp too, besides the fact that usually the most painfully excruciatingly ticklish spot on my body has always been my feet! So combo pain ugh!), along the way will likely pale in the grand scheme of things. I do wish you'd found Sasquatch because then I could have boasted that I have friends who made an historic discovery, so be it, scratch that. Happy that from the last vlog the kids are back with you loving on them. Great to see you settled in the van groove once again with new things to see around every twist in the road or feel on the rolling sea. Bon voyage once more. Onward. Hugs and ear scratches for whoever lines up for either or both. Much love from CT.😘😘🥓🥓🚐🌎
Don't you always find the little cuts and splinters always hurt way more than bigger cuts?! We are kind of wishing we'd arranged some sort of nighttime Sasquatch hunt! They take it seriously out here! We had such a long break but it's amazing how quickly we've settled back into our old routines on the road. I'll take hugs and head scratches please! They're my favourite 🤩 Chesca xoxo
@@OverlandingSophia Yup those little paper cuts hurt ! Or scraped knees. Ouch . when I was a kid stepped on a lit cigarette butt that had been tossed in the grass. Wow that was awful. Trust Ben’s 🦶🏻 is on the mend. OXXO
😁Well done, what a journey to all 4 corner's epic thanks for the guided tour. Glad to see you back and the dog's look happy as well. Be safe looking forward the the rest of the never ending story. Cheers, keep the faith. Dean
Ex pat Cornish miners went out to work overseas and took the pasty with them. Lots of Cornish heritage also in Sth America. Truronian watching in Nuneaton. Great video
Yes! Apparently there's a place named Harberton in Argentina named after the village near where I used to live in Totnes. Who knows, we might get our Cornish pasty fix down at the other end of the world!
@15:30 - I live in this area. Yes, if you don't stay up on cutting back the bush it will completely consume everything. More importantly we have to keep on top of cutting down trees or they will break off and fall on our house. I swear, sometimes I feel like the flora is attacking us.
I heard from someone once that you could compare north america to europe. Each state in the us is so different, maybe like its own little country, honestly. Your comparison with the four corners really showed that honestly! Actually so impressive! I'm actually also super sensitive to pain, what helps is doing the cleaning of wounds myself. Somehow it doesn't hurt as much this way 😂 Great episode guys, can't wait for the next one, until next week xx
I live in Canada and have been across the country several times and lived in four provinces. I’ve also been to Europe and many US states. I haven’t seen anything that compares to Europe. I wonder what state(s) they’re referring to? 🤔
I think Jenny means that many States feel so distinct and different to each other, they could be different countries. Not that they compare to Europe culturally per se, but that the same way you cross many countries in Europe, crossing the State lines can feel like entering somewhere new! And we would have to agree. It's hard to believe Florida and Alaska are in the same country, when you look at how geographically different they are, the way of life, the culture there etc. Going to the 4 corners really highlighted this for us 💕
Another fishing tip for Ben: the next time the sea gives you a dunk and steals all your gear, it just so happens you had just caught the largest fish you've ever seen and you lost that, too. 😉👌 Fun fact: Sasquatch saw me on a hike once, but no one believes him. 😞 The waterway between Vancouver Island and the Olympic Peninsula is the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and all the shipping traffic to & from Vancouver, Seattle, Tacoma, et al travel thru it. Very busy, and quite treacherous! Congrats on another geographic milestone reached! ❤️❤️😎👍xx
Hahaha you know I literally made that joke to him 😂 Said did he just catch a massive fish and that went overboard too 🙈 The Strait of Juan de Fuca was so beautiful, if busy! Not a bad commute for those ship captains 🤩✨ xx
Such a beautiful place. Big oops to Ben and the 🛶, thankfully you have a great medical team to care for you. Here in NS we are watching 🌀 Franklin 😢, hopefully it goes out to sea and doesn't make land fall at all. Have a safe week ❤
Hehe thanks Ellie. Scout was supervisor, River is emotional support and I'm the evil nurse 😂 Hoping Franklin decides to not pay you a visit! It must be almost a year since we were caught in Fiona with you all 💛
Didn't take long before you moved me to tears again!!!! So emotional marking all those compass points of your journey so far- what incredible scenery in each- BUT think this was my favourite, so other-worldly and mystical looking!! xx
Ah Sally, love you! 🥹 It's mad to think how far we've driven our little van! North America is BIG! If you loved the scenery in this video just wait until next week. It gets even MORE other-wordly. Like a real life fantasy 😍 ✨ xx
Looking back at all those clips of the four corners is was just absolutely incredible. Guys you have had an absolutely insane trip!!! Sending you lots of love, I did chuckle at Ben's grimace 🤣🤣🦶🦶 that shot of River with the stick was so beautiful ❤️
It's mad! You never realise in the moment what you're doing, it's not until we thought about it we were like - we've driven A LONG way 😂 Hahaha Ben, not being melodramatic at all. Loads of love xxx
GR8 VID ~ WATCHED IT ALL AND I LOVE ❤ IT !!! I'm watching most of these videos out of sequence .. RUclips just pops up the next one I haven't seen for me. I always try to leave a comment to help you with the RUclips algorithm and so it pops up another video I havent seen. I love it because I keep getting more videos I havent seen and I don't mind they are out of sequence. This video was great.. I've been in Seattle often because my son and grandkids are there but i havent been on that Island.. i usually avoid the cost of the ferries and just drive down and around to get onto the Olympia Peninsula. On Ben foray into fishing, maybe he's just better at driving the Van and giving big HUGS .. LOL !!!
A good friend of ours is from Cornwall. Pasties are fantastic! What a beautiful area. Ben, keep that cut as clean as possible and often. Hydrogen peroxide if you have it.
They are top tier!! We were heartbroken it was closed 😂😭 Happy to report the cut is healing nicely and Ben isn’t walking like he’s got one leg shorter than the other now!
If you ever find yourself in upper Michigan, pasties are very common. I personally have never tried them, but I know people who drive up there just for lunch. Then turn around and come back to NE Wisconsin. I hope you cleaned that cut well, cuts on rocks in the water can easily get infected. LV the video
Yes!! We’ve heard about the Cornish pasties in Michigan. Would probably have detoured ourselves if we were closer 🤣 The cut has healed up nicely now, was getting worried as it was looking red but thankfully it’s on the mend 💛🙌
Hi Guys, bit late again, I was exploring the Brecon beacons national park today and have finished. Hope you're all well, kayaking ooh nice.. oh no sorry to hear this Ben, ah that's gutting losing a rod and hurting your foot. Disaster,s only comes in three's that's what they say, thank god you got a ferry back! Ah River is such a wonderful comforter.. love a good pasty!! No!! Closed 😭 coffee cake 🍰❤.. I was wandering around forests today, it's so nice to have a good walk.. this weekend has been full of heavy showers and cloud ☁️.. the 4 corners! Super impressive!! I'm more about the journey, I don't know what to do when I arrive 😂. Have fun and get better Ben!
You'll have to have 3 Cornish pasties for us Mark to make up for it! How were the Brecon Beacons? Hahah yeah the journey is the best part! Once you arrive it's like... okay, what now 😂 🙈 Sending love and some warm weather your way - it's been 32 degrees this weekend and boiling! 💛 xx
@@OverlandingSophia hey, yeah the Brecon beacons were amazing, there's such beauty in nature and I do try and spend at least half an hour in each place but I'm definitely more of a chase than catch type of traveler! I'm at the British motor museum enjoying Shed fest with my camper shed.
omg! Pasty is so huge in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! You have to go there. It's an area with old mining towns, where people from Cornwall settled. It's definitely a thing in the U.P.! :)
Oh and it’s also located on Lake Superior, biggest fresh water lake in the world, and home to the Pictured Rocks national lakeshore. You must go some day. So beautiful! You will be amazed at the beauty of the Great Lakes region and its interesting history.
You are a great story teller. If you are stuck for a day waiting for a ferry then Fort Casey is a great place to be stuck. Hopefully you went up to see the disappearing guns, from the Second World War, up on the hill. My wife and I always go down to Fort Casey, in our small fiberglass 5th wheel, storm watching in Feb. and stay out on the small spit in the campsite by the ferry terminal there. It would be nice to camp just anywhere like you guys do but a trailer is not at all stealthy! As a kid, back in the sixties, my mum and dad would always take our trailer up to the moors in South Wales and Devon camping but I doubt you can do that nowadays. We stayed so many times in a spot up by Breckon Beacons that the local milkman would drop off milk for us while we were camping! It's great to see genuine young people like you getting out, seeing the world and really enjoying yourselves and then documenting your travels in a down to earth way for all of us. Take care.
We saw Fort Casey but the park was closed by the time we rolled up! But great shout to hang out there. South Wales and Devon are the gold standard for camping back home! Minus Scotland of course 😋 They recently had a land owner try to ban wild camping on Dartmoor, which was the last place in the UK you could do it. He succeeded, but then got the ban overturned on appeal after huge uproar from the public. So, you can indeed still go and camp in Devon! And thank you so much for the kind words 💛 🥹
"GENTLY CHES...GENTLY!😤😩" 😂🤣😂 Creasing ahahaha!! That was bloody hilarious I can't😭😂 highlight of the video hahahah!! What a lovely little town and amazing Forrest!😍 So stunning. Loved this video guys, you two are living the dream and I'm so happy for you 💕✨xx
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT GENTLY IS?!!" 😂 😭 Haha I die, he kills me everytime I watch it 😂 Thanks my love, feels good to be back on the road and finding our groove again. Sending love! xx 💕
Can’t say we’ve been to all four points, but have not done too badly in our U.K. camper travelling by backroads, small towns and public swimming pools. From Charleston to Big Bend NP, Mid America, back to Tucson, out to Hearst Castle and now in Canada heading East the US is an amazing place. Canada is proving great too, hoping to get our B2 visa reset so we can cross back into the US, if not will enjoy Canada and home from Halifax. Safe travels!
Sounds amazing! We never made it to Big Bend… wish we had as it looks incredible. How long have you guys been out here for? Might be worth just trying the border, crossing into Canada did reset it for us and they gave us a brand new stamp in Alaska 🫶
We arrived in the US end of feb and camper arrived mid March so 5 months on the road, have let our visas run out in Canada will wait a couple of weeks and as you suggest will try the border (or two) and see what happens.
Tommy knockers.... Kinda like i felt at Big Mike's pizza shop in Nova Scotia 😂. Sent you guys a few notes about the trip. Hopefully the van will be back soon! and YES.. $$$$ 😬. Great Video! xxx/ooo
Bill we were so gutted FOR you that she was closed!! 😭😭 Was going to tell you I replied but you already know that 😂🫶✨ Let us know when you get the van back x
Crazy how you hit those 4 key points wow. I don’t know if you’ll see Bigfoot but you sure found sore foot bahaha, poor Ben rough go eh. Lol Safe travels always a pleasure to watch. ❤
You can find pasties in upper Michigan and also in Flagstaff Arizona. I grew up in Michigan and the Cornish miners brought them over to work in Michigan mines. Flagstaff was just a Michigan guy who opened shop.
There’s a cool maritime museum/centre there we didn’t get chance to go into, also an open boat making, wood working workshop that looked really cool too. Definitely a cool maritime place to visit 🙌
@@OverlandingSophia Eeeee Port Townsend....i have to say that brownstone behind your right shoulder @12:12 is theee store many years ago my close-close precious friend (life was taken in...oh where else.... Mexico Playa del Carmen) bought me this soft wool tam with luvvvly adornment. Then we went around to all the *OFFICER and a Gentleman* filming locations...hellllo did no one tell ya?? I've not been to that area since and started crying my faccce off (tx...ugly crying) when getting walk about and then the store was right behind u. Meant to be girl.
Honestly your videos are just amazing! What an incredible journey you’re on. (PS Hope Ben’s foot heels quickly! Obviously didn’t laugh out loud at all! 😂)
Oh Ben, sorry for laughing at your foot misery.😂 I couldn't help it. Please be careful with it. Same thing happened with my daughter. Even though she was regularly tending to it. She ended up with an infection due to the bacteria thats in her shoe as well. Keep a close eye on it.
You could have left Whidbey Island on the Mukilteo Ferry and driven south down I-5 from Mukilteo to the Edmonds-Kingston ferry only 30 minute drive, and then only 30 min ferry crossing, taking you over to Kingston on the Olympic Peninsula. There are no reservations needed on Edmonds Ferry and the sailings are every 50 minutes. The entire trip may have taken 2 hours at most. Far less than waiting as a you two did.
Understood - but from Kingston to Port Townsend is only a 50 minute drive. Would have still saved you hours of sitting in a ferry line up. Plus the drive from Kingston is lovely because you'd have done it in daylight. Anyway - happy travels. Take care.
Love these vlogs! FYI Cornish pasties are sold everywhere in Great Lakes Region (Cornish immigrants came to USA in 1900s to work in iron ore mines, in places like UP MI & Mineral PT WI). I grew up with them and best homemade fresh.
You guys got to come back one day to Vancouver island ….it’s just got this amazing island vibe …you can easily spend 3 weeks there Enjoy the ride down south
Hi ya Chesca Ben River and Scout, we used to have real Cornish man selling Cornish Pasties each week at the markets until one week he wasn’t there. Scout doesn’t care about your pain🤩. Sasquatch is another name for our Yowie . Take care and stay safe cheers from Australia 🤩☕️🇦🇺
Ah what! No notice or anything! Apparently they’re all over Canada and the US but this is the first real Cornish place we’d seen. Haha yeah Scout was just supervising 🤣 Sending love down under! 💛
Drove to get good signal for watching More Adventures. Feel for you Ben. Cut the bottom of my foot a while back. Not nice at all. Painful and look like a knob trying to walk. Can't believe you lost the fishing gear, not fair. That forest looked really spectacular. Although I'm sat on a beach, sunshine and now going for a dip 😅 Love and Big Hugs Both. Safe Travels ❤
Your videos are way too short - I need to see more of your journeys. I'm very thankful that RUclips suggested i watch your first one from Nova Scotia. I wait patiently, or try to be patient, each week. Safe travels.
My dream is to be the youngest person to walk the entire pan American highway when I become strong and rich enough. you guys are really inspiring and I cant wait to see what you do when you get to the darien!
Amazing video again. Thank you. Did i tell you? I baught a BorderCollie puppy he is looking the samen as River, and i called him Ben. Named him after the father of my first BorderCollie. Sorry Ben😊 but my Ben had the same lovely caracter as your River. Safe trafels.
Hey great to see you back guys. Sorry for your foot Ben hope Ches is being a good nurse. Was that a new tattoo on your arm Ches ? Pups look good andvsettled back into routine.
Hello! Ah it’s good to be back! The foot is healing nicely, I think I’m a good nurse but Ben is an awful patient 🤣 Not a new tattoo! Got it done last year before we came away ❤️🔥
FYI we have Cornish pasties in all the good bakeries here in South Australia, some in the old mining towns still make them proper traditional as well ❤ great vlog as usual, so pretty and yes big foot probably is real but why would it come anywhere near humans and their flashy light machine's, they too smart to have their picture taken 😊
That’s really cool. There must be a strong tie in the mining communities of Australia to those back in the UK 🫶 Apparently they’re way more common than I realise. I need to keep my nose out more 🤣 xx
Congratulations on 4 corners! Enjoying some whisky on a Sunday evening in the Maritimes and worried a little about some luck I may have sent your way. When the fishing wasn't going so good, I offered some advice on a steadfast lure. By far, not the best lure for each application, but one to toss out there when you just weren't sure and had no other local folks to glean knowledge from. Well hell, I wished all of my luck onto those lures should you take my advice and now I have to ask, are you superstitious? I'm just a little stitious but perhaps inadvertently, I cursed you by wishing luck on those William's. (Was that the lure the local made fun of? My juju doesn't like to be made fun of). Didn't think it would come up here. My juju bites back by flipping boats over, hurting people and such. Dang, I just wanted you to catch a fish. I would suggest buying a cheap rod, tying a William's to it, and taking that first cast with it to let my positive energy run its course. Then try whatever the locals suggest. I think ignoring that positive energy I put on my advice is doing something I didn't expect and I didn't foresee it. It's bitter about being ignored. Sorry about that. Ha! Funny stuff. Great shots!
Hahah dammit Pete it was you the whole time! 😂 Not superstitious but I am a little stitious has me in fits 🤣🤣 I think by casting aside (pun intended) the original lures, Ben was no longer protected by your good luck and was open to the elements of sharp rocks, rogue waves and had to make the ultimate sacrifice to Davy Jones - his fishing rod and new lure 🏴☠️ Back to the originals it is! 🔮
@@OverlandingSophia it’s the Pasty Kitchen in Los Alamitos off the 405 freeway south just south of Long Beach California. I used to live across the street.
After hearing your struggles getting a spot on that ferry, it might have been easier to go over to Vancouver Island and taken a ferry form Victoria to Port Angeles.
Did you know there's a place in Washington State that celebrates being undiscovered by Captain Cook? Apparently he bypassed them in the fog and made land on Vancouver Island. To commemorate, once a year they light bonfires and shout out to sea "We're over here!" On another note, I have a Westie called Oggie, after the Cornish pasty. Oi! Oi! Oi!
Hahaha I don't know what we love more, the fact that people light bonfires and shout 'We're Over Here!" or your little Westie called Oggie! Best name ever! 💛
Yes we’re aware, thanks ☺️ It’s actually something we talk about in next weeks vlog, as national parks are somewhere we generally avoid because we can’t really do anything with the dogs in most of them in the US 😢
@@OverlandingSophia thank you. I do travel research for disabled vets and those with mobility issues or need adaptive technology. Service animals are allowed but not pets and it’s important people understand why that is. When I was at Olympic there were seven pets illegally on the Storm King trail, and the rangers had to send someone out there to police. It is a shame not to be able to access the national parks for the pet reason…. A doggy daycare would be a great idea 😁 But the reason is for the conservation of the protected lands. I appreciate you guys discussing it from your perspective
Great video! We were camped about 5 miles outside a Port Townsend for a month (mid May to mid June this year). I had my first Pasties at Tommy Knockers (so I can’t compare and contrast), but they were terrific! The staff was so pleasant…and the food outstanding. We went back to them a few times while in the area. If that is what UK Pasties are supposed to taste like…well…sign me up for more!!
Omg absolutely love this!! Ben says lamb and mint is the ultimate flavour but of course the traditional one is great too. Might have been less heartbroken if you said it was rubbish 😂 💛
Your content is superb 🎯 outstanding.. it's the only RUclips channel we immediately want to watch again - and we do 😁😁
Thank you so much Jason 🥹 AND it means you get to see Ben crying in pain twice! Even better 🤭 💛
My husband and I spent a lovely day in Port Townsend waiting on the ferry. Beautiful spot. We came across a young Elephant Seal laying on the sidewalk molting! I'm looking forward to reliving my journey through your eyes. Oregon is so beautiful!

68 years young!! Alaska is waiting for you 🙌✨
You have a lot of years left. Go for it.
Oh guys!! Soooo good to have you back and to be back on the road with you. And man, did I LAUGH when you were sorting out Bens foot…I had to dig a thorn out of johns this morning, and…well, you know 😉 happy travels friends! Until next week 🙏🏼
Thank you so much Tara! Hahaha yeah, they're just so melodramatic 😂 xx
Great journey you guys are on 🌞,thanks for sharing ,River is so sweet to comfort Ben while in pain ❤️.
Thank you Cindy! She's a sweetheart 💕 🐶
Just stunning! From the first glimpses, to the last vista as the sun sets. What a beaut.
Feeling your pain, Ben, had a ganglion out of my foot a month ago and it's still giving me grief! Though, think you have a better story: capsizing in orca infested waters whilst channelling your inner hunter-gatherer 😉
Have a great week, and see you next Sunday! Massive hugs and love!! xx
Eek Ben's got one on his wrist! I'll let the doctor sort that one out though 😂 Thanks Kit, after hearing so much about the PNW it's pretty awesome to be here. And can confirm it lives up to all the foresty, dark, mysterious hype! xx
@@OverlandingSophia So true...and my feature film Funding is coming together... so I'll be able to soon become one of your best patrons. Yippee 😊
The Olympic Peninsula is pure magic to me!
Totally agree! It's a special corner of the world ✨
It's too bad you weren't able to get to Michigan. Pasties are popular in the Upper Peninsula.
We've heard about the pasties in Michigan! Never expected to find one out here in the PNW 🙈
Nurse Chesca and orderly River performed great teamwork on Ben's foot owie. What a series of mishaps! Such a sweet pup to provide comfort in times like this. Beautiful country! If Jane says there could be Bigfoot in the forest, it could be true indeed. Happy trails!
A small series of unfortunate events indeed! Thankfully the foot is on the mend. No more making Ben cry 😂💛
Lol, We all know what men are like when they have a cold, so I can imagine the crying he did. 🤭😅😂
Careful with the cut from the rocks. Nasty stuff on the barnacles. Soak in warm salt water at least twice a day. If it shows red and heat see a dr immediately. Don't play around, my friends father landed up losing his foot because of a " simple cut on the beach". Happy to see you back to posting your adventures.
Eek that’s awful! 😢 Thankfully Bens has pretty much healed now 🙌
Part of my heart will always be in the Pacific Northwest after living in Portland for 18 years! ❤️
Hope the next few videos bring back some lovely memories for you! This is a beautiful part of the world 💛
6:25 all that lovely driftwood just screaming out to go on my lathe!!
There is so much here! Went to a beach the other day and some of it is the size of giant trees. Incredible 🙌
I am glad to see you back on RUclips . Interesting and safe trips for you.
Thank you so much, it feels like we've never been away 🥰
Thanks for sharing another incredible video. I’m retired so I always know what day it is when your videos pop us. Lol
I enjoy each and every one.
💕🥰
Stay safe
Hehe you know you’re living your best life when you don’t know what day of the week it is! Sending love ❤️✨
Brilliant video. My husband and I have hitchhiked both directions of the Pacific Coast highway, top to bottom and back twice and driven it 3 times. It's my favourite place on earth. I've been all over Canada, USA and 12 countries in Europe...and I still say it's my favourite. It's something about the cliffs and water and the feel of the freshest winds on my skin. Heaven on earth. It's lucky for me I like rain 🙃. I enjoyed this so much I'm watching it again. Sucks about the loss of your fishing rod and your wound....I hope you a speedy healing...ya big baby. Chess, you were extremely gentle.
Wow, you would be the person to go to for recommendations! So excited to hit the Oregon coast soon, we've only heard amazing things about it. And the rain just adds to the atmosphere here! We're parked in a cloud right now, amongst thick, mossy forest. It's like being on a film set. Magic! Haha yes Ben was being a big baby, not melodramatic at all 🤪 xx
It was quite a while ago now and I'm sure things have changed in the past 10 years. We camped on the beaches and in the forest with our little orange tent...so glad it was orange. One night we didn;t find a place to pitch the tent and we finally found a clearing near a town...much after dark. We had a great sleep until about 7 am when we heard all of the noise. We looked out of the tent to see all sorts of construction vehicles moving around. We had camped in the middle of a construction site :) The workers were so nice and bought us coffee from a coffee truck. Watch out for the sneaker waves!
Just wow yet again, such beautiful forest and sea scapes, it must be so difficult to leave. What an amazing achievement going to all those furthest points.
Poor Ben with his cut foot, I hope it's healed, such a painful place. I was wiped out surf canoeing in Cornwall and rolled up the beach attractively grazing my face😅. What a shame the pastie shop wasn't open, a real taste of home.
It was Bryns 3rd birthday yesterday, a shame I can't send you any pictures of him. Looking forward to next weeks episode, as ever stay safe, love Sue and Bryn xx
Ouch! Grazing your face must have been painful, there's never a graceful way of capsizing is there?! 😂 Happiest of birthdays to Bryn! Hope he got extra treats. River was 3 this year and Scout is 3 next April. Belly rubs and snuggles to Bryn from us 💕 🐾 xx
Glad to see you back from the UK safe and sound, enjoy your future adventures, will you be back in the Baja? Stay safe Rick and Susan Banks
Thanks guys! Yep we'll be driving down Baja to take the ferry over to the mainland 💛
Love that you've gone here, it's such a beautiful forest landscape. I so enjoyed hiking through the Olympic Forest. Hope your foot is much better now Ben, it's no fun having a bum foot. Hopefully you can catch some fish down the road as well. I'm doing maintenance on the van, yesterday I changed the engine oil and this morning I'm heading under the van to change the oil in the generator. We have such a great facebook group that is so helpful in letting one another know how to maintain, fix and repair things on our rigs. Hope you're having a good weekend and in a lovely spot to enjoy before moving on. Safe travels!🤗☺
It’s a beautiful corner of the world! Glad to hear maintenance is going well! We are due an oil change very soon 🙈 Sending love! ✨
To see the look of surprised glee on your faces at the most north-westerly point of this vast country was priceless. With an unexpected milestone completed on the way, now on to more adventure and the big purpose of this massive expedition. Those painful bits, (yes Ben, I would have been a big wimp too, besides the fact that usually the most painfully excruciatingly ticklish spot on my body has always been my feet! So combo pain ugh!), along the way will likely pale in the grand scheme of things. I do wish you'd found Sasquatch because then I could have boasted that I have friends who made an historic discovery, so be it, scratch that. Happy that from the last vlog the kids are back with you loving on them. Great to see you settled in the van groove once again with new things to see around every twist in the road or feel on the rolling sea. Bon voyage once more. Onward. Hugs and ear scratches for whoever lines up for either or both. Much love from CT.😘😘🥓🥓🚐🌎
Don't you always find the little cuts and splinters always hurt way more than bigger cuts?! We are kind of wishing we'd arranged some sort of nighttime Sasquatch hunt! They take it seriously out here! We had such a long break but it's amazing how quickly we've settled back into our old routines on the road. I'll take hugs and head scratches please! They're my favourite 🤩 Chesca xoxo
@@OverlandingSophia Yup those little paper cuts hurt ! Or scraped knees. Ouch . when I was a kid stepped on a lit cigarette butt that had been tossed in the grass. Wow that was awful. Trust Ben’s 🦶🏻 is on the mend. OXXO
😁Well done, what a journey to all 4 corner's epic thanks for the guided tour.
Glad to see you back and the dog's look happy as well.
Be safe looking forward the the rest of the never ending story.
Cheers, keep the faith.
Dean
Thank you Dean! It's been pretty epic when we look back - and we didn't even realise we were doing it! 💛
Ex pat Cornish miners went out to work overseas and took the pasty with them. Lots of Cornish heritage also in Sth America. Truronian watching in Nuneaton. Great video
Yes! Apparently there's a place named Harberton in Argentina named after the village near where I used to live in Totnes. Who knows, we might get our Cornish pasty fix down at the other end of the world!
@15:30 - I live in this area. Yes, if you don't stay up on cutting back the bush it will completely consume everything. More importantly we have to keep on top of cutting down trees or they will break off and fall on our house. I swear, sometimes I feel like the flora is attacking us.
I heard from someone once that you could compare north america to europe. Each state in the us is so different, maybe like its own little country, honestly. Your comparison with the four corners really showed that honestly! Actually so impressive!
I'm actually also super sensitive to pain, what helps is doing the cleaning of wounds myself. Somehow it doesn't hurt as much this way 😂
Great episode guys, can't wait for the next one, until next week xx
I live in Canada and have been across the country several times and lived in four provinces. I’ve also been to Europe and many US states. I haven’t seen anything that compares to Europe. I wonder what state(s) they’re referring to? 🤔
I think Jenny means that many States feel so distinct and different to each other, they could be different countries. Not that they compare to Europe culturally per se, but that the same way you cross many countries in Europe, crossing the State lines can feel like entering somewhere new! And we would have to agree. It's hard to believe Florida and Alaska are in the same country, when you look at how geographically different they are, the way of life, the culture there etc. Going to the 4 corners really highlighted this for us 💕
I made that same journey a long time ago (early 70's) Always hoped I would go back, so it's nice to go along with you.
It doubt it has changed much since you were there, hope it brought back some memories for you!
Another fishing tip for Ben: the next time the sea gives you a dunk and steals all your gear, it just so happens you had just caught the largest fish you've ever seen and you lost that, too. 😉👌
Fun fact: Sasquatch saw me on a hike once, but no one believes him. 😞
The waterway between Vancouver Island and the Olympic Peninsula is the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and all the shipping traffic to & from Vancouver, Seattle, Tacoma, et al travel thru it. Very busy, and quite treacherous!
Congrats on another geographic milestone reached! ❤️❤️😎👍xx
Hahaha you know I literally made that joke to him 😂 Said did he just catch a massive fish and that went overboard too 🙈
The Strait of Juan de Fuca was so beautiful, if busy! Not a bad commute for those ship captains 🤩✨ xx
Such a beautiful place. Big oops to Ben and the 🛶, thankfully you have a great medical team to care for you. Here in NS we are watching 🌀 Franklin 😢, hopefully it goes out to sea and doesn't make land fall at all. Have a safe week ❤
Hehe thanks Ellie. Scout was supervisor, River is emotional support and I'm the evil nurse 😂 Hoping Franklin decides to not pay you a visit! It must be almost a year since we were caught in Fiona with you all 💛
Didn't take long before you moved me to tears again!!!! So emotional marking all those compass points of your journey so far- what incredible scenery in each- BUT think this was my favourite, so other-worldly and mystical looking!! xx
Ah Sally, love you! 🥹 It's mad to think how far we've driven our little van! North America is BIG! If you loved the scenery in this video just wait until next week. It gets even MORE other-wordly. Like a real life fantasy 😍 ✨ xx
Cornish pasties are widely available in Canada. Had many in my life. Glad you showed us this charming town!
And we’ve missed them this whole time! 😭🙈
I can think of at least four shops selling them here in Halifax.
Lovely video guys - Ohhhh Ben that cut on you foot looks sore - hope it's on the mend - South you go !! Wave hi to the Goonies from us !! xx
Thankfully it’s healing now, thank god for the first aid kit you gave us in Baja 😂🙈 Ben is way too excited for the Goonies!! 🫶✨
Looking back at all those clips of the four corners is was just absolutely incredible. Guys you have had an absolutely insane trip!!! Sending you lots of love, I did chuckle at Ben's grimace 🤣🤣🦶🦶 that shot of River with the stick was so beautiful ❤️
It's mad! You never realise in the moment what you're doing, it's not until we thought about it we were like - we've driven A LONG way 😂 Hahaha Ben, not being melodramatic at all. Loads of love xxx
GR8 VID ~ WATCHED IT ALL AND I LOVE ❤ IT !!!
I'm watching most of these videos out of sequence .. RUclips just pops up the next one I haven't seen for me.
I always try to leave a comment to help you with the RUclips algorithm and so it pops up another video I havent seen. I love it because I keep getting more videos I havent seen and I don't mind they are out of sequence.
This video was great.. I've been in Seattle often because my son and grandkids are there but i havent been on that Island.. i usually avoid the cost of the ferries and just drive down and around to get onto the Olympia Peninsula.
On Ben foray into fishing, maybe he's just better at driving the Van and giving big HUGS .. LOL !!!
A good friend of ours is from Cornwall. Pasties are fantastic! What a beautiful area.
Ben, keep that cut as clean as possible and often. Hydrogen peroxide if you have it.
They are top tier!! We were heartbroken it was closed 😂😭 Happy to report the cut is healing nicely and Ben isn’t walking like he’s got one leg shorter than the other now!
If you ever find yourself in upper Michigan, pasties are very common. I personally have never tried them, but I know people who drive up there just for lunch. Then turn around and come back to NE Wisconsin. I hope you cleaned that cut well, cuts on rocks in the water can easily get infected. LV the video
Yes!! We’ve heard about the Cornish pasties in Michigan. Would probably have detoured ourselves if we were closer 🤣 The cut has healed up nicely now, was getting worried as it was looking red but thankfully it’s on the mend 💛🙌
Beautiful as always!! Thank you for sharing your journey
Thanks Kathleen 🥹
Great to see you guys back again. Port Townsend looked like a great place to stay. Hope your foot is better.
So sorry Ben about your foot. Good job you had Nurse River you were so funny. Thanks for another great week. 💕for River and Scout.
He clearly needed the emotional support of River 😭😅 X
Hi Guys, bit late again, I was exploring the Brecon beacons national park today and have finished. Hope you're all well, kayaking ooh nice.. oh no sorry to hear this Ben, ah that's gutting losing a rod and hurting your foot. Disaster,s only comes in three's that's what they say, thank god you got a ferry back! Ah River is such a wonderful comforter.. love a good pasty!! No!! Closed 😭 coffee cake 🍰❤.. I was wandering around forests today, it's so nice to have a good walk.. this weekend has been full of heavy showers and cloud ☁️.. the 4 corners! Super impressive!! I'm more about the journey, I don't know what to do when I arrive 😂. Have fun and get better Ben!
You'll have to have 3 Cornish pasties for us Mark to make up for it! How were the Brecon Beacons? Hahah yeah the journey is the best part! Once you arrive it's like... okay, what now 😂 🙈 Sending love and some warm weather your way - it's been 32 degrees this weekend and boiling! 💛 xx
@@OverlandingSophia hey, yeah the Brecon beacons were amazing, there's such beauty in nature and I do try and spend at least half an hour in each place but I'm definitely more of a chase than catch type of traveler! I'm at the British motor museum enjoying Shed fest with my camper shed.
omg! Pasty is so huge in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! You have to go there. It's an area with old mining towns, where people from Cornwall settled. It's definitely a thing in the U.P.! :)
Oh and it’s also located on Lake Superior, biggest fresh water lake in the world, and home to the Pictured Rocks national lakeshore. You must go some day. So beautiful! You will be amazed at the beauty of the Great Lakes region and its interesting history.
You are a great story teller. If you are stuck for a day waiting for a ferry then Fort Casey is a great place to be stuck. Hopefully you went up to see the disappearing guns, from the Second World War, up on the hill. My wife and I always go down to Fort Casey, in our small fiberglass 5th wheel, storm watching in Feb. and stay out on the small spit in the campsite by the ferry terminal there. It would be nice to camp just anywhere like you guys do but a trailer is not at all stealthy! As a kid, back in the sixties, my mum and dad would always take our trailer up to the moors in South Wales and Devon camping but I doubt you can do that nowadays. We stayed so many times in a spot up by Breckon Beacons that the local milkman would drop off milk for us while we were camping!
It's great to see genuine young people like you getting out, seeing the world and really enjoying yourselves and then documenting your travels in a down to earth way for all of us. Take care.
We saw Fort Casey but the park was closed by the time we rolled up! But great shout to hang out there. South Wales and Devon are the gold standard for camping back home! Minus Scotland of course 😋 They recently had a land owner try to ban wild camping on Dartmoor, which was the last place in the UK you could do it. He succeeded, but then got the ban overturned on appeal after huge uproar from the public. So, you can indeed still go and camp in Devon! And thank you so much for the kind words 💛 🥹
If you ever get to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, you will find pasty shops all over the place. My favorite is Randall's Bakery in Wakefield Michigan.
Great job guys, we only made it to 3, so we'll pass the torch k to you 😂
Another cracking video 👍
Haha 😆 South we go!
@@OverlandingSophiaare you heading straight to mainland Mexico, or heading back to Baja and then catching the ferry?
They also have pasties in the upper peninsula of Michigan
LOL! I live near Sooke on Vancouver Island, directly across from Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula. My property is right in the rainforest.
Love it! We were probably waving right at you! 🥰
@@OverlandingSophia and I'm waving back! Enjoy the Pacific Northwest - there is no place like it!
"GENTLY CHES...GENTLY!😤😩" 😂🤣😂 Creasing ahahaha!! That was bloody hilarious I can't😭😂 highlight of the video hahahah!!
What a lovely little town and amazing Forrest!😍 So stunning. Loved this video guys, you two are living the dream and I'm so happy for you 💕✨xx
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT GENTLY IS?!!" 😂 😭 Haha I die, he kills me everytime I watch it 😂
Thanks my love, feels good to be back on the road and finding our groove again. Sending love! xx 💕
Can’t say we’ve been to all four points, but have not done too badly in our U.K. camper travelling by backroads, small towns and public swimming pools. From Charleston to Big Bend NP, Mid America, back to Tucson, out to Hearst Castle and now in Canada heading East the US is an amazing place. Canada is proving great too, hoping to get our B2 visa reset so we can cross back into the US, if not will enjoy Canada and home from Halifax. Safe travels!
Sounds amazing! We never made it to Big Bend… wish we had as it looks incredible. How long have you guys been out here for? Might be worth just trying the border, crossing into Canada did reset it for us and they gave us a brand new stamp in Alaska 🫶
We arrived in the US end of feb and camper arrived mid March so 5 months on the road, have let our visas run out in Canada will wait a couple of weeks and as you suggest will try the border (or two) and see what happens.
Tommy knockers.... Kinda like i felt at Big Mike's pizza shop in Nova Scotia 😂. Sent you guys a few notes about the trip. Hopefully the van will be back soon! and YES.. $$$$ 😬. Great Video! xxx/ooo
Bill we were so gutted FOR you that she was closed!! 😭😭 Was going to tell you I replied but you already know that 😂🫶✨ Let us know when you get the van back x
Crazy how you hit those 4 key points wow.
I don’t know if you’ll see Bigfoot but you sure found sore foot bahaha, poor Ben rough go eh. Lol
Safe travels always a pleasure to watch. ❤
Hahah 🤣 Bigfoot's more dramatic brother! Yeah can't believe how far we've travelled in the past year! 💛
Port Townsend is where the motion picture "An Officer and a Gentleman" was filmed
Always enjoy watching you two! Another fab video 👍👍❤️
You can find pasties in upper Michigan and also in Flagstaff Arizona. I grew up in Michigan and the Cornish miners brought them over to work in Michigan mines. Flagstaff was just a Michigan guy who opened shop.
What most folks do is take the ferry to Vancouver island and then take the Washington ferry "coho" from Victoria to either port Angeles or Seattle
Sounds like a great trip too! For us, Vancouver Island ferry was too £££ unless we were going to spend a while there 😢
Wonderful as always. So lovely to see you travelling again 😁
Thank you so much Jane! 💛
Port Townsend looked lovely - added to my list of maritime places to visit….. one day! ❤
There’s a cool maritime museum/centre there we didn’t get chance to go into, also an open boat making, wood working workshop that looked really cool too. Definitely a cool maritime place to visit 🙌
You brought great memories for me with this episode! Thank-you👍🏻! Can’t wait for the next one!
Ah love to hear this Tom! 🫶✨
@@OverlandingSophia Eeeee Port Townsend....i have to say that brownstone behind your right shoulder @12:12 is theee store many years ago my close-close precious friend (life was taken in...oh where else.... Mexico Playa del Carmen) bought me this soft wool tam with luvvvly adornment. Then we went around to all the *OFFICER and a Gentleman* filming locations...hellllo did no one tell ya?? I've not been to that area since and started crying my faccce off (tx...ugly crying) when getting walk about and then the store was right behind u. Meant to be girl.
Fantastic , really enjoyed this , some beautiful parts of the u s
Thanks guys! Yes indeed, so many incredible landscapes - and all so different! 💛
Honestly your videos are just amazing! What an incredible journey you’re on. (PS Hope Ben’s foot heels quickly! Obviously didn’t laugh out loud at all! 😂)
Thank you so much Diana 💛 🥹 Hahah I mean, I didn't laugh out loud editing the footage, at all 🙈 xx
Oh Ben, sorry for laughing at your foot misery.😂 I couldn't help it.
Please be careful with it. Same thing happened with my daughter. Even though she was regularly tending to it. She ended up with an infection due to the bacteria thats in her shoe as well. Keep a close eye on it.
I was in stitches too, he is so dramatic 🤣 Thankfully it’s healed up nicely since then! Was a nasty cut 😕 xx
Love it guys. So glad you’re back.
Woop thank you so much guys 🤗💛
You could have left Whidbey Island on the Mukilteo Ferry and driven south down I-5 from Mukilteo to the Edmonds-Kingston ferry only 30 minute drive, and then only 30 min ferry crossing, taking you over to Kingston on the Olympic Peninsula. There are no reservations needed on Edmonds Ferry and the sailings are every 50 minutes. The entire trip may have taken 2 hours at most. Far less than waiting as a you two did.
We really wanted to see Port Townsend and Kingston is just a bit too far in the wrong direction for us heading west!
Understood - but from Kingston to Port Townsend is only a 50 minute drive. Would have still saved you hours of sitting in a ferry line up. Plus the drive from Kingston is lovely because you'd have done it in daylight. Anyway - happy travels. Take care.
@@elsiesmith1771 Thanks for this. We know for next time 🫶
Great to see you both again. The gods are expressing their displeasure for you not coming to my home - Vancouver Island 😂
Hahaha that will teach us! 🤣🙈
Great stuff as usual, thanks for sharing, I love to watch your adventures.
Thank you Kim 🥰✨
Love these vlogs! FYI Cornish pasties are sold everywhere in Great Lakes Region (Cornish immigrants came to USA in 1900s to work in iron ore mines, in places like UP MI & Mineral PT WI). I grew up with them and best homemade fresh.
Thank you so much! 🥹 Yesss I've heard about the pasties in Michigan! Shame we didn't make it over there to sample them 🤪
Happy Sunday
Love the caption of your adventure toward USA
Thank you Charlene 🥰✨
awesome video again, safe travels from Nova Scotia :)
Thank you so much Nikki! Love from the west coast! ✨
Brilliant. Ben, get better soon. X
Thanks Linda 💕
Absolutely amazing ❤
Thanks so much Rob 🥹 💛
You guys got to come back one day to Vancouver island ….it’s just got this amazing island vibe …you can easily spend 3 weeks there Enjoy the ride down south
Ah we can’t wait to visit! We’ll be back for sure 🥰
My apologies to Ben. I had tears of laughter while he was getting his foot "gently" examined. 😂
Hahah I was also laughing during the edit! Such a drama queen 😂 👑
Beautiful part of the country.
Totally agree 🥰
Hi ya Chesca Ben River and Scout, we used to have real Cornish man selling Cornish Pasties each week at the markets until one week he wasn’t there. Scout doesn’t care about your pain🤩. Sasquatch is another name for our Yowie . Take care and stay safe cheers from Australia 🤩☕️🇦🇺
Ah what! No notice or anything! Apparently they’re all over Canada and the US but this is the first real Cornish place we’d seen. Haha yeah Scout was just supervising 🤣 Sending love down under! 💛
Amazing 🤩
💛 💛
Fabulous ❤
💞
When you did his foot, he was about to faint. Lololo
So melodramatic 😭😂
try not to miss the Fern Canyon in Prairie Creek Redwood State Park. Northern California. the area is pure magic.
Thank you Kellie, it looks incredible! Have bookmarked it, hope we make it!
My cousin lives in Anacortes - they see orcas all the time from their perch!
So incredible! 😍
Another stunning video. We have some good Cornish pasty shops in Nova Scotia😊
Now we have ANOTHER reason to come back to Nova Scotia 😉 💛
Oh Ben, sorry about your foot, keep it clean.
Drove to get good signal for watching More Adventures. Feel for you Ben. Cut the bottom of my foot a while back. Not nice at all. Painful and look like a knob trying to walk. Can't believe you lost the fishing gear, not fair. That forest looked really spectacular. Although I'm sat on a beach, sunshine and now going for a dip 😅 Love and Big Hugs Both. Safe Travels ❤
Hahah when he was walking I nicknamed him Long John Silver 😂 Enjoy that beach and sunshine! Love and hugs ❤️✨
Maybe Ben should handle his own foot care. :)
Your videos are way too short - I need to see more of your journeys. I'm very thankful that
RUclips suggested i watch your first one from Nova Scotia. I wait patiently, or try to be patient, each week. Safe travels.
Oh thank you so much! 🥹🫶 One day if we get an editor I’d love to do 2 vids per week! So much happens sometimes it’s hard to fit it all into one video!
My dream is to be the youngest person to walk the entire pan American highway when I become strong and rich enough. you guys are really inspiring and I cant wait to see what you do when you get to the darien!
That would be incredible! We have to ship around the Darien, there’s no roads there 🙂
@@OverlandingSophia if you shipped the car around the darien but walked through it that would be crazy
At least the ferry crossing went smoothly this time 😂
Apart from the odd rogue wave 😅
Amazing video again. Thank you.
Did i tell you? I baught a BorderCollie puppy he is looking the samen as River, and i called him Ben. Named him after the father of my first BorderCollie. Sorry Ben😊 but my Ben had the same lovely caracter as your River. Safe trafels.
Haha Ben says it’s a superior name 😂 Would looove to see photos if you ever get chance to send some over! 🫶🐶
@@OverlandingSophia i will i will
Hey great to see you back guys. Sorry for your foot Ben hope Ches is being a good nurse. Was that a new tattoo on your arm Ches ? Pups look good andvsettled back into routine.
Hello! Ah it’s good to be back! The foot is healing nicely, I think I’m a good nurse but Ben is an awful patient 🤣 Not a new tattoo! Got it done last year before we came away ❤️🔥
FYI we have Cornish pasties in all the good bakeries here in South Australia, some in the old mining towns still make them proper traditional as well ❤ great vlog as usual, so pretty and yes big foot probably is real but why would it come anywhere near humans and their flashy light machine's, they too smart to have their picture taken 😊
That’s really cool. There must be a strong tie in the mining communities of Australia to those back in the UK 🫶 Apparently they’re way more common than I realise. I need to keep my nose out more 🤣 xx
Congratulations on 4 corners!
Enjoying some whisky on a Sunday evening in the Maritimes and worried a little about some luck I may have sent your way.
When the fishing wasn't going so good, I offered some advice on a steadfast lure. By far, not the best lure for each application, but one to toss out there when you just weren't sure and had no other local folks to glean knowledge from.
Well hell, I wished all of my luck onto those lures should you take my advice and now I have to ask, are you superstitious? I'm just a little stitious but perhaps inadvertently, I cursed you by wishing luck on those William's. (Was that the lure the local made fun of? My juju doesn't like to be made fun of). Didn't think it would come up here.
My juju bites back by flipping boats over, hurting people and such. Dang, I just wanted you to catch a fish. I would suggest buying a cheap rod, tying a William's to it, and taking that first cast with it to let my positive energy run its course. Then try whatever the locals suggest. I think ignoring that positive energy I put on my advice is doing something I didn't expect and I didn't foresee it. It's bitter about being ignored. Sorry about that. Ha!
Funny stuff.
Great shots!
Hahah dammit Pete it was you the whole time! 😂 Not superstitious but I am a little stitious has me in fits 🤣🤣 I think by casting aside (pun intended) the original lures, Ben was no longer protected by your good luck and was open to the elements of sharp rocks, rogue waves and had to make the ultimate sacrifice to Davy Jones - his fishing rod and new lure 🏴☠️ Back to the originals it is! 🔮
Brilliant 🙂
❤️🫶
We have Cornish pasties in Southern California
No way! Okay we’ll be on a mission to find them there, thank you 🙌
@@OverlandingSophia it’s the Pasty Kitchen in Los Alamitos off the 405 freeway south just south of Long Beach California. I used to live across the street.
The fishing lure you lost is called a "buzz bomb".
It is indeed 😊
Oh my! No pasty! ( I’m from near Okehampton Devon) xx
I know!! An absolute tragedy 😭
gotta love raccoons 🦝 ♥️ 😂
YES!! They are one of my favourite animals ever. Their hands 🥹 💕
What is amazing, is you. Best wishes
Oh thank you 🥹💛
After hearing your struggles getting a spot on that ferry, it might have been easier to go over to Vancouver Island and taken a ferry form Victoria to Port Angeles.
It was pretty expensive to get the VI ferry and didn’t seem worth it if we weren’t going to spend any time there 😢
Did you know there's a place in Washington State that celebrates being undiscovered by Captain Cook? Apparently he bypassed them in the fog and made land on Vancouver Island. To commemorate, once a year they light bonfires and shout out to sea "We're over here!" On another note, I have a Westie called Oggie, after the Cornish pasty. Oi! Oi! Oi!
Hahaha I don't know what we love more, the fact that people light bonfires and shout 'We're Over Here!" or your little Westie called Oggie! Best name ever! 💛
such an encouraging journey! Just wonder how do you plan to cross the Colombia-Panama border gap?
We will be shipping! It’s the only way around ☺️
You guys made it to British Columbia and now you are headed to Columbia half a world away. Oh man oh man. lol
Yes indeed! From one Columbia to another!
You could have had your British food on Vancouver island
Just a heads up, your dogs needed to be on leashes in the Olympic state park areas and not allowed on trails in the national park portion
Yes we’re aware, thanks ☺️ It’s actually something we talk about in next weeks vlog, as national parks are somewhere we generally avoid because we can’t really do anything with the dogs in most of them in the US 😢
@@OverlandingSophia thank you. I do travel research for disabled vets and those with mobility issues or need adaptive technology. Service animals are allowed but not pets and it’s important people understand why that is. When I was at Olympic there were seven pets illegally on the Storm King trail, and the rangers had to send someone out there to police. It is a shame not to be able to access the national parks for the pet reason…. A doggy daycare would be a great idea 😁 But the reason is for the conservation of the protected lands. I appreciate you guys discussing it from your perspective
When you were in Halifax Fries & Co Sells all Brit pies shame you missed it lol
Is a Brit pie the same as a Cornish pasty though?!
Yes it is a Cornish. We also have steak and kidney , steak and ale, chip shop curry and mushy peas.
