- ☞ 👀 It is true, we decided to visit #PortlandOregon and do a tour around that area. There are so many different things to do from Hikes, Bike trails, downtown food trucks, art and books. The Portland city has a very unique vibe to it. We have all seen the news stories but once you see through those a very charming city does emerge. There is a lot of work that needs done in Portland but it is trying as a community to turn things around. We hope you consider stopping there on some of your destination plans.

When the craziness was happening a friend who lived in Portland shared a lot of videos showing how overblown the news was making the situation. My son moved there in January 2022 and I've spent A LOT of time walking around a variety of areas in Portland and have not experienced anything threatening - day or night. I can't say the same about Seattle, which I didn't really like as much. My son does live in a nicer part of the city, so there is some bias in what I'm seeing. The Saturday market is in a less glamorous part of town, but still absolutely fine. I think more people need to visit and see for themselves that it isn't the horror story the media made it to be. I'd move there in a heartbeat.
I worked in downtown Portland for almost 20 years, and during that time, it was a gorgeous place. I felt safe walking around at night alone. In fact, it wasn't too many years ago, after a fireworks show in Waterfront Park, my son and I strolled all over town safely at midnight. It was a treat to spend an evening there. The governor and mayor literally destroyed our beautiful downtown area. Old Town, China Town, and any part north of Burnside is extra gnarly. But, I'm glad you visited Powell's Books! Love that place.
I'm glad you were able to visit the Gorge, the Falls, and see the mighty Columbia River. Life is a more 'normal' the further out you go in each direction. I'm located 11 miles east, and the devastation hasn't hit us as hard, except the cost of living.
I've lived here since I was a little girl and deeply saddened to see our once beautiful downtown turn into an ugly ghetto. I'm so happy you felt a good vibe in spite of it all. We have good people in Oregon.
I have to agree with everyone having lived there 35 years ago it saddens me to see downtown and the shape it is on now. I would go visit Oregon bit would choose to bypass Portland.
We were there with years ago and it was beautiful. The international rose garden was absolutely gorgeous and we had a great time. We also visited the Pittock Mansion, loved it and the view of the city. Our biggest worry was finding a place to park! There is no way I'd go back there now, nor any time in the future, until sanity prevails. It was an amazing city, so much to see and do downtown, and it's just sad to see what has happened to a once vibrant and thriving city.
Glad you got to see the Columbia River Gorge and falls! So beautiful!
Very beautiful area of the country - thanks for watching!
Potland is one of the few cities I carry concealed in.
"That was so weird to see someone pass us in a Honda Civic" 😂 probably the most classic Portland experience y'all had was that "lost" moment and the interaction on the roadside. Great stuff!
Multnomah falls the zig and zaggin is the hike to the top of the falls that you can look down on the falls, from a work deck with rails.
So Todd, If the news you watch was wrong about Portland, could they have been wrong about other things too? Portland is a beautiful city, great to walk around, but like any other place you have to keep your wits and situational awareness.
One of the only level-headed comments I've read on this video in regards to Portland. Too many folks in their tiny towns and suburban bubbles don't understand Portland's problems reflect the entire country's core issues: Access to (mental) healthcare, the drug (fentanyl) epidemic, and the housing crisis.
Dropping the jeep seed a couple times..... love it!! lol
We were there before covid and they have a beautiful Japanese Garden and Rose Garden
Being from Portland there's NO CHANCE you didn't see the wrong in the city. Just driving on the 84, i5 or 205 you see the trash everywhere and the homeless problem. I KNOW you got footage of that but for some reason didn't show it. Hopefully some young lady doesn't watch your video, think the place is safe and head there alone.
I moved here alone (26 ya) and I'm still alive :) it might be a problem, but more knowledge is power.
@@savannahmckendrick Nah thats awesome. You learned where not to go and at what times. But that situation exists and people try to pretend it dont ......🤷♂️ Portland murder up 300% Homeless camps everywhere. I almost had to shoot a Homeless knucklehead for pulling an axe on me when he asked for a cigarette and i said no downtown. My kids couldn't walk to the park because the park became a Homeless sanctuary with camping and drug use going on daily. Shit ain't sweet in Portland right now.
Doing all the things. Good video. We have some friends that live just outside Portland. They told us the same thing you discovered. The media made it seem much much worse than it is. Thanks for taking us along.
Im truly happy you guys got out of Portland safe. That city is truly a dangerous place. Your guardian angels did a great job.
Side # Todd I admire the guts on your lady...With that said putting her in that is irresponsible to say the least...Target rich environment...You are the target...God speed, God loves crazy, cant help stupid.
@@RobWisemanDeezFit 🤔😳
I liked your video of Portland! You are correct about it being a beautiful area. You are also correct about the city having so much graffiti. Homeless people everywhere too! Our daughter moved to Portland, from KCMO, about 7 years ago, and she still loves living there! Of course, we have been there many times, and plan to go back many more times! We have never camped in Portland, and honestly, I don't know if I would feel comfortable/safe camping. Camping areas that we have seen around that area, seem to have Homeless people living in the campgrounds. Some of them will steal from you. I have seen it happen!
It is good that you were talked in to going to Portland, Todd. You would have missed the beauty that it has to offer.
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing
I’m never going to Portland. Or Seattle. Nope. God bless.
🌹Thank you for the extremely fabulous episode of where *not* to go! Love!!!😊
Portland didn't used to be that way. It used to be really clean, and no graffiti. It's always prided itself on being weird, but know its just sad, and the homeless situation is totally out of control despite their best efforts
This is why I love you guys and your channel. Nothing pre - scripted or pre - planned. Just real world travels, seeing the good AND the bad of all the places you visit. Of all the RV channels I follow, you are the REAL DEAL.
My only complaint...I have a bad case of last song recall. I walk around constantly singing the Switch It Up Intro song. ACK !!! Help me.
;-)
Bahaha! Thanks for the encouragement and for joining us on this journey!
I agree, I used to go to Portland every summer for a work conference. Makes me sad. Glad you were able to find some things enjoyable! And not just a tear down video, but a how you pack the back now! Been saying for a bit I want to see now since the kayaks are back there with Donkey. There was a brief snippet awhile back, but I need deets! 😂❤️
Just be careful, ppl steal a lot due to drug habits. The tags and tents are a bit much!! Other than that it truly is a great place. Wa state is a great place to visit too💖
If I come see Oregon, I doubt I will be stopping in Portland!
So might stop to Portland now. I usually just drive through without stopping. And I’ve come to believe that people that live in Portland are in capable of driving like a human. I would like to ebike the trail. This was a Great video
P.S. let grow.
Thank you for your review. I live outside of Portland and have always loved the town, but over the last few years I have had garbage in my head about Portland. So pleased it surprised you in a nice way other than the graffiti.
It was beautiful a couple of years back. Also not all the hikes are short like you said. Those weren’t hikes that you did. I really appreciated your video.
There are so many great places to go to outside of Portland. The main city itself is not a great place to visit, Unless you really know the smaller areas that are worth visiting. And there truly are some great areas around Portland that you are sadly missing.
First time viewer, and you guys are hilarious! Instantly subscribed ❤
Yay! Thank you! Welcome!
Thanks for bringing us along!
Glad you enjoyed yourself and that you were safe too! Portland has not been on my list of places that I would like to visit but maybe will change our minds. Thanks for taking us along. Enjoy the huddle!
I really enjoyed this video! Not sure that we will ever get to go to Portland, but I think I would like to visit after watching. The footage looked amazing. Like Todd, we watch the news and see all the bad stuff and then when we go to some of the places where the media has shown the worst side; we found the good stuff. Shelia, you cracked me up several times in this video. ~Paula
Portland WAS beautiful, before rent went sky high and then they shut down the mental hospital. That is the Saturday Market. It’s there til Christmas. Now you know why we went full time RVing. Portlands history is old and long. We had shanghigh tunnels, and even ghosts tours. We were the first with food trucks. But things went down hill Big Time. Portland recently made the top ten, for their bike paths and architecture. You should have gone up to the Portland zoo. That is beautiful.
Yes really, everyone moving here and rent being ridiculous is what ruined Portland. It used to be a playground for poor artists now it's just another rich people playground. Money ruins everything!!!
With all the negative stories in the recent past, it's good to see that Portland does appear to be making an effort. Glad you were able to find the positives! Me no big reader, but bookstore wow!
Gorgeous view of the Columbia river from that bridge!
The waterfalls look awesome, plus they come with a short walk to see them. Switch it Up
We would stop by if we were in the area but not as a travel destination. Those waterfalls are amazing! Thanks for showing us around.
There's definitely a lot of ugly happening in our city but also a shit ton of beautifulness
Great video showing a different side of the city. I still feel like there are a lot of other places to see before I would put Portland on my "to do" list but it is great to see it through your lens!
If a Honda civic can go there Shrek is still a pavement princess 😆
Yes I'd go to Portland Oregon on my vacation... Go to Western Culinary academy for a five star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ meal at a reasonable cost.. Call and see if you can get a reservation they fill up fast.😉👌And remember "Keep Portland weird". 🌈🌎
Our daughter lived in Portland for 10 years and we really loved visiting. There are so many things to do. The rose garden is beautiful and the local food is phenomenal.
We will NOT return to vacation in Portland. We remember when it was a cool, artsy, clean and welcoming city. But not anymore. Poorly managed government elected by the community that is going the wrong direction. So many better, safer places to visit and spend our money.
When I was young, we lived about 50 miles north in WA. Portland was beautiful then. I would never go there now.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video!
You guys... I work from home and this was on in the background. I heard something going on so I stopped and watched. I REALLY NEEDED this laugh today!! Shrek with DUELIES had trouble and a CIVIC went flying by?!? OMG! I LAUGHED. THANK YOU AS ALWAYS - for what you guys do. ❤ (hope he has a good mechanic!)
- Jim (The Mad Camper - out of North St Paul)
Keep the 5th wheel, get one of those semi trucks that you can fit a small 2 door Jeep on and still tow. Todd, you know that's the right decision, and it fits in really tiny parking spots.
Glad you were safe-your guardian angels were working overtime 😂
You really need to pack an emergency snack bag in Shrek.
Valid point😉
Great video!
How long were you here? You know we live 18 miles East of Portland.. did you guys stay at Portland Fairview? We live 4 minutes from there… would have been happy to show us around. We don’t go to Portland often.. not our cup of tea and it’s gotten so much worse in the last 5 years. Hope you don’t see all of Oregon as Portland. Good thing you visited mostly during the day time. That should be on the Portland Bumper stickers… “something between urine and weed”. Wow.. you were just east of our house when you were at the falls. Multnomah Falls is beautiful in the winter. Dang.. sorry we missed ya
Great Video! I love you two! Pro tip, please, please wear a helmet when you are on your bikes. I have ridden my bike 20,000 miles over the last few years and have seen it all. Trust me, you do NOT want to crash (fast or slow) without a helmet. I do not want to loose my favorite RV RUclipsrs, especially to an injury that could be prevented. I will spare you gory details but one of the most serious head injuries was when someone in front of me fell over while standing at a stop sign. Plus, you will set a good example for your 19.4 K subscribers. Stay Full Of Awesomeness ☮️ & ❤️Jim
I am glad you had a good visit to Portland and the surrounding area. While many people can get in and out without troubles and the people you meet will be nice, the negative reports about the city are also true. Maybe only a small percentage are affected by the negative, but they do still happen.
I grew up in Portland many decades ago at a time of some race riots (in the 60's) and currently live across the Columbia River in Vancouver. Even with the troubles of the 60's I always felt safe in Portland while growing up. Now, I would never go to downtown Portland for any reason, and travel to other parts of Portland only if I need to. Multiple companies (including corporate offices and retail stores and restaurants) have left town because of the current issues.
When my mother passed away a couple years ago, our realtor old us that her house in Vancouver would get multiple cash offers, mostly from people leaving Portland or California. He was right. Even if they do not vote in elections, people vote with their feet and wallets.
More recently a friend had to go to a business function in downtown Portland. He parked in a parking garage and returned to a busted-out window and items stolen. I think the items stolen were a sports coat and maybe gym bag of clothes. (but generally, nothing overly expensive)
Unfortunately you visited a s hole. When Cindy and me came to Portland in the early 80's it was one of the most beautiful cities. Our city government has allowed it to become what it is today. You only got a taste of it and thank God you had no issues. As you found out this is why we have decided to sale everything and leave the state of Oregon. By the way Todd if you carry your permit is not valid here in Oregon as we have no reciprocity with any other state.
Todd love you guys following your GPS (GOD PERSONALLY SPOKE) out in our mountains. Never go out four wheel with low fuel.
Safe travels and roads Brian and Cindy, "xtreambydesign with passion"
The homeless encampment that you showed in the beginning of your video is a great example of decriminalization of drugs without a plan to curtail substance abuse. Todd to you question of would I go to Portland? A resounding no, not even with a Tesla with a peace sign on the hood. Fun fact, the term “shanghaied” was started in Portland. The bar tenders would drug patrons, send them through a trap floor in the floor and the poor bugger would wake up on a freighter headed to china.
Decriminalized drugs?? 🤣😂 The only drug in Oregon that has been decriminalized is weed and I guarantee that has not contributed to homelessness or crime 🤣😂🤣😂
@@angelcakes1091 I believe that Oregon decriminalized the personal possession of drugs. And as for your “claim” that “weed” does not contribute to crime, I would direct you to the news in southern Oregon.
My husband used to bring voodoo donuts back from his business trips to Portland. He said his pink box got a lot of attention in the airport. Looks like there’s a lot happening in Portland! Shelia, you need a SheWee! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Love all the waterfalls.....ummm not sure about boondocking.
Even Starbucks is closing in Portland and 4 other cities. Glad you guys had a good time. Be safe.
Portland IS a great place and I’m glad you enjoyed your time. It is such a great place that way too many people are moving here creating big city issues, unfortunately. Tv painted PDX in a bad light that was incredibly exaggerated! Safe travels!
@5:33m you are not at the Farmers market. You were at the Portland Saturday Market which is an artisan market.
That waterway you mentioned is the Willamette River.
also, Fairview not Fairfield.
We enjoyed meting you today at the tram. My daughter watched your video about Portland and she liked it. The video shows very interesting areas and had a good balance. She recommends Blue Star donuts and Pip's donuts better than Vudu. Also, she hope that you got the chance of visiting Japanese Gardens, the Rose Garden, and Washington Park. Those are beautiful very well kept places. Regarding the city it is true that there are cute, good, bad, and worst areas like in any city. You did a good recap regarding that. As always, we laugh and had fun with your video. Thanks for your great work!! Hope you enjoy your ride today and we will be looking forward watching your new video.
Thanks for taking the time to stop and say hi. We truly love meeting the crew out on the road. Safe travels!
Unfortunately going to Portland because it’s on my bucket list. It looked pretty trashy. I’m a little concerned for my safety. I really enjoyed your video and subscribed. I like your vibe.
Well it’s not very often we see Sheila a little stressed. Very understandable though in that situation on a one-way narrow road leading to nowhere🤪 so glad it ended well and there were definitely hilarious moments as usual. You are brave to go to Portland and share with us the good parts now. It is definitely an expressive city with all the art and graffiti. That would be a bit eerie. And hiking poles are a great idea on uneven terrain. Mine came from Amazon a couple of days ago actually. Figured at my age I definitely need them.Have safe travels and keep on keeping on.
Wow. Had no idea about Portland. Waterfalls were pretty.
Look forward to your videos twice a week, keep it up.
Thanks Scott!
Check out Frickers in Ohio. Their menu has Frickin' Chicken, Fricken Fries and other yummy entrees. :) The Great Northwest is a neat place to visit. Lived in Spokane, WA for a couple years. My mother was born there. But I would probably circumvent Portland and travel down the coast again. Amazing drive and breathtaking stops along the way. Keep up the great content.
Nothing you see on the news is an accurate description of any City.
Only way I would go where you guys went is, carrying my Springfield XDM Elite 10mm with red dot and extra mag. Head on a swivel!
Hey guys nice video, when you were on Palmer Mill Road another mile or so would have turned to pavement onto Brower Road then to Larch Mountain Road which would’ve taken you back down to the scenic Highway. I am really bummed because I live right in that area and would have loved to meet you guys. I guess too bad so sad. Love your videos.
I was born and raised only a few miles up hwy 30 from there. Portland used to be beautiful. It’s always been a place of crime but not to the extent it’s became as with much of Americas big cities. It’s sad to see many downtown buildings boarded up and graffiti all over. That’s not how it was. There was always homeless but they didn’t have tents and garbage all over the sidewalks they slept on the ground in doorways usually. It’s sad to see some of the changes.
What, no Lucky Charms? They're Magically Delicious!
Was Todd limping?
How did you get "unlost"? We wanted to see how you got out.
You're walking through Saturday Market. We are the City of Roses...due to all the rose garden parks. So far into the vlog you are hitting the very heavy houseless areas...so of course you're going to see filthy and garbage. On the waterfront near the Steel bridge is utter trash. I live here and don't go for a Sunday stroll down there. 9:24 you're standing on the edge of skid row. 10:23 China Town, sadly is SKID ROW. I hope you move out of this area soon...BTW - Weed is legal here in Oregon. Powells is AMAZING...it's always a day trip for me, as I find it hard to leave. YES!! you made it to the Gorge...our backyard. When I need a mental health day - that's where I go. (During the weekdays it's less crowded.) Long hikes and fresh air. Uhhh...not sure what road you're on - it's not paved so I wouldn't have ever taken that route. Looks like a lovely bike ride. I haven't been on that bike trail... Now, Multnomah Falls...walk to the top...and continue for 6 miles...brings you back down the side of more water falls about five miles from where you parked. Walking to the top of Multnomah Falls in a mile - STRAIGHT UP! Kills the knees on the way down. I'm glad you had a good time in Portland and no one busted out your windows!! What you saw on TV during Covid was downtown in front of the federal building. WE protest...but that got crazy. We've always been a protesting town...but that was kind of beyond what I'm used to. Don't believe the hype. 🙃😜 BTW - I own a food truck 💚
The food truck scene is amazing - Portland has some great food and amazing art. We really enjoyed our visit there- thanks for taking the time to watch and leave your feedback.
Looks like you guys found some beautiful places outside the downtown area - have to say I don’t think I would go there.
I can’t believe that my fear of falling can actually be activated by looking straight down in a video and I want to instinctively pull you both back away from the railing. I think my fear was actually caused by a video of something I saw when I was very young.
Enjoyed your content 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
Hi from the EMAHIZERs!!!!!!
Hi EMAHIZER's!
Portland is really pretty. Its sad the things that happened there.
Sometime making the wrong turn on a road leads to amazing places.
Portland is a beautiful city.....but Not a place I desire to spend much time. Our daughter lives there and she loves it. However Oregon coast and non city places are amazing!!
Wow, we visited Portland years ago and enjoyed it, but from afar, it looks trashed now. We will visit Oregon again, but will bypass Portland. Such a shame. We have the same impression of Seattle.
The places you visited in Portland are truly dangerous. Living just outside of Portland for 40 years I would not go downtown. Glad you made it out safe and looking forward to meeting you at the Washington huddle.
The waterfall was awesome there at the end. Wasn't that the Waterfall in the movie "The Shack"?
As my father said: Discover America.... ge lost. I was born and raised in Portland and now live in Ontario on the Idaho border. I will NEVER and I mean NEVER again live in or near Portland. It is just too dangerous for my taste
Are you crazy Portland in a rv , hope it has tires on it in the morning , honey where is the truck
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment- yep she still has all her wheels And Windows
The news was not wrong, they did set it on fire, now its just what's left. Each to their own of where you go, everything is a calculated risk. My god I was with my son at Lowes at 10:45am and got followed from the parking lot into the store and part way through the store in NC... don't feel safe anywhere anymore. Thank god for the 2A!
You should watch “Someone Feed Phil” Portland episode.
Portlandistan is the nickname my friends that live there have given it.
I saw your bike. May I ask where did you buy it? I really like your 🚲
Our eBikes Are Himiways - we love the fat tires as they really allow us to hit all kinds of different terrain. Thanks for watching this video!
We got rid of our Himiway bike rack because it did the same as yours. Himiway didn’t help with our issues with our bike rack. We bought a Hollywood bike rack from etrailer and it is a very well built rack.
Weed and pee! Welcome to the west coast big cities ..it is so sad what has happened to Seattle, Portland. SF.
Nice video.
Those waterfalls were amazing! Glad you enjoyed downtown, even if it did look a little scary. How were those famous donuts?
Yummy!!
@@SwitchItUpLife glad they didn’t disappoint!!!
Thank you for taking the hit by visiting Portland, Now many who were curious will never have to visit that city. ..ever!
I don't know if you went to Mt. Reiner....The Waterfalls!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should go if you can.
Todd, Thanks for being cautious for you BOTH. You should be!
People have burnt that city down and Pissed and Shit on the streets for the last few years. They also don't believe in AMERICA - the USA. They think it's discusting which is IRONIC how they treat their city!
You guys are running wild in the DEMOCRATE nation there. I give you "BRAVERY" and "EXPLORATORY" congrats to even try this mission. -Todd
Guys, Thank you,Thank you, Thank you for such a great video! Now, I am going to Portland ! I love the vibes of the downtown! What a fun place to walk and enjoy! Thanks again
😅🤣 definitely not going to downtown when we go visit our son. .. he says it’s not as bad as they say but it’s not the same. We definitely will be headed to the waterfalls and such 🥰
🤣😅🙌🏽 OMG Sheila, I have been in that predicament but I had to 💩.... absolutely in the middle of a road trip. Nowhere for the next 20miles 🥴😭🤣 almost dug a hole on the side of the road 😅 but there was no cover from the road 😖
Safe Travels
🌺Lori&Ruben🤙🏽
switch it up go for it hahaha
So sad to see what has happened to the city I was born and raised in. It used to be clean and beautiful and I was happy to come downtown every day to work. We finally got fed up with the weirdness (and politics!) and moved to Arizona 14 years ago. Every city has it's problems but it's nice to see that you found some high points on your trip. Keep up the great videos!
Sad. The Saturday market used to be packed. If you had been there before it went to pot (pun intended), you would know how much the lack of leadership which allowed the riots has done to that city. You are comparing what you are seeing to what the news showed, not to what it once was.
Was that spot 202 that y’all met up with? They will always be known as that. 🤪🤣
The homeless problem in Portland is a major problem. And no I would not go to Portland unless I had business there.
