Good video the extended music at the beginning was a little excessive but I liked your choice of music and placement and editing a little more description on the locations while you were there and possibly a little history on those locations would be excellent I love taking trips to abandoned places as well you did miss the bunkers that are on the Washington side just outside of ilwaco that's an excellent hike my family and I lived in Ocean Park for a few years.
Our family spent many summers living in the lighthouse keepers house behind the light at Warrior Rock. A two story victorian style house. Our water supply came from the huge water tower at the southwest corner of the house. The rear of the house had a door the opened into a generator room with a diesel engine the supplied lights for the house... the fireplace was all riverrock and was large enough to heat the entire house. I recall falling asleep in the upstairs bedroom on foggy nights seeing the flash of the light on the wall and hearing the bell ring.. this is on the Columbia River south of St Helens not on the Wilamatte river as stated in the video..
The house was broken into during the time we had the house. I remember pulling into the dock and my dad telling me to go below deck. He had noticed that the front window was broken and the front door was open. We went back downstream while my dad radioed the sheriff. when they arrived I watched them got into the house to make sure no one was still inside. We got the all clear and when I got on the porch I could see the broken window and the blood everywhere from the culprits wound after the had broken the window to gain access. All of the contents of the house had been gone through and thrown everywhere. A sight I still remember well is seeing where they had decided that instead of starting a fire in the fireplace the started one in the middle of the living room floor that left the basement visible.... beer cans everywhere the house was never occupied again. They were able to get fingerprints and arrested the goofball days later..... By the way... we were told by the previous owner that the house was very well haunted by sailors that lost their lives while hitting the rock..
Jaden,Why? I'm sorry but I feel compelled to say that Portland USED to be a pretty cool city, it's residents, for the most part, took pride in it and kept it clean, you would NEVER, and I mean NEVER seen the amount of garbage that's everywhere now, I've lived here my whole life , born n raised, I hope your not moving to Portland, for your sake cause it's nothing but a rat infested shit hole now, thanks homeless! I just felt compelled to apologize
New subscriber here came across your channel the name of this video caught my attention! I enjoyed this one very much. I'm from Oregon and have lived here most of my life except 3 years. ❤❤❤
Warrior Rock Light is on the Columbia River not the Willamette. It is also now owned, not sure what the new owners are going to do with it yet. I remember about 50 Years ago when we had a Spring flood and a tugboat pushing a barge ran into it and took a good chunk out of it. It took them some time to get it repaired. I also remember that the Keeper's House was a very nice 2 story but no one had lived there during my lifetime and it was burned down by idiots not so many Years ago.
I was very concerned when I heard that the lighthouse had been moved to the Willamette. Such a difficult, and pointless task considering that (last I checked) It was still being used for navigation on the Columbia.
IDK If your interested or not or but there's this place off of Brooklyn Drive in Corvallis that looks 100% abandoned and I really wanted to check it out while I was there but I didn't have a chance. If you do plan on checking it out I'd love to see some more of that place because I can't seem to find anything online about it. Just a fair warning though, it might be private property. Thats about it, thanks for the rad video my man
Glad I found this. Great style mix of showing the place and talking to the camera. Think that battery fort has much history to it? Seems like we never had any war/battles here.
Thanks! In my previous video I talked about the place while showing it, but I wanted to switch things up a bit. From what I understand, Fort Stevens was made to protect the mouth of the Columbia from enemy ships. Thanks for the comment!
My family grew up in astoria and nappa. When my father passed we spread his ashes in the ocean by the peter aredale and put yellow tulips on the bow of the shipwreck. Cant go through the area without saying hello.

I’m moving there in July from south Florida I’m excited for exploring the woods and abandoned spots
Where did you end up landing? If you are in the Willamette Valley let me know, I can give you directions to some pretty cool spots.
@@omanafire I’m in Portland

@@jaden8616 Wow you moved from a free state, to one of the worst cities in one of the most oppressed states in the US! 😰😅

Amazing production! I thought you’d have at least one million subs, you definitely deserve more attention.
Up the Siletz River there is an abandoned town I have heard about. Thank you

You better stop, hey! What's that sound. Everybody look what's going down.
Cool video btw
Sophie’s Homestead and then you should Go to the sanctuary next-door
Hi Bro,
I am Phani from India Joining the Oregon State University this fall can you provide some tips, can you make a university tour video.
Klamath falls Oregon is watching
Bro your photography skills are amazing keep up the grind
Just did the lighthouse walk. Wasn't worth the hour and half walk. You passed the ufo on collins beach.
boag any relation to like gary or mark boag ex jockys back in the day????
Hey I've been Google mapping some areas an also have an old bomb shelter nothing supper cool but something interesting if your interested
Because our population density is so low, a lot of it feels abandoned all the time.
Way wanna look up the "Bombardment of Ellwood" and/or do a little more fat checking before posting...
I would rather hear info about the surroundings. I’m not sure where you are or what you are looking at. Just some music. What a loss.
Looking back on the video, I think I definitely should have added more commentary. I’m just a sucker for music but I’m always learning!
@@clips4z You'll get better as you do more work. I'm happy that you are taking criticism constructively.
Great sights but Ditch the music.... it's very distracting and you don't even describe any history about the sites you visit.
