    My suggestion for a portable shower is a Hike crew portable water heater runs off propane. It works excellent I bought my used off eBay for 149 bucks and the owner got right back to me. Wanted me to know how it worked so I tested it out at my house first no problems iI used it out Boondocking , no problems The solar shower thing is kind of a joke and yes, it does get mold in it. 😊

But, I have a lot of health problems and no way I could handle driving up there even though I live in Oregon. So my question is, the next time you go to that awesome coffee shop could you mention to the owner that there are people who would love to buy his coffee so would he consider selling it online??🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Scott, just getting caught up on some of your videos. Nice to see you again 😂. Beautiful campground. Thanks for taking us along. Now I am definitely craving coffee though! For mosquitos: eucalyptus and/or peppermint oil, cedarwood, lavender and citronella oil all work great. Mosquitos love me for some reason, and that seems to keep them away. A nice non toxic substitute instead of the deet bug spray (if you can tolerate the smell of EOs). Also, weird people are the best. Life would be so boring without us 😂

      @@StaticCamperVan Yeah. I was up there a couple of months ago, also enjoyed some time in Seattle in the Volunteer Park area during the Rhododendron bloom (old neighborhood of mine, decades ago). I believe there have been fires in the Olympic Peninsula in recent years, though. I was thinking about heading back up and spending some time in the North Cascades while there, as I haven't been there for decades. Then looked the park up and saw the advisories. Yikes. It's hard to understand, from just those advisories and some other news stories, wildfire maps, etc, what the real situation on the ground is in the broader area. I've also been following the high heat all along the I5 corridor... I had to avoid that and traveled up and down the coast (between WA and CA) due to the heat, the problem for me being that I couldn't really find anywhere I felt comfortable parking midway between Fort Bragg and the Bay Area, so just kept driving, all that way, at night in the dark, heading back to the Bay, which really sucked! The CA Coast around Pacifica and Pacific Grove has been a real (and gorgeous) haven from the heat this summer. I have reason to spend some time back up in WA this summer/fall, but since I want to avoid both heat and rain, not sure how well that will go, if I do return. So, you haven't noticed smoke up in WA in your meanderings of late? Glad you are enjoying the forest. I feel like spending some time in the forest too, soon, but I think it will be the redwoods around Santa Cruz for me .. I really hope you will find a good solution for your engine or some not too exhausting ways to finance a new vehicle. Wishing you the best of luck .
