ℹ️ About the Episode:
In this episode, we stay overnight at a Harvest Hosts-a church at Port Ludlow-before taking the ferry from Kingston to Edmonds. The ferry was $122 with our truck and trailer (55 feet long combined) and saved us from having to drive Interstate 5 through Seattle. Plus, taking ferries on an RV trip is fun! We've done several, and this episode contains some bonus footage of those trips. Then we make our way to North Cascades National Park. We would have loved to stay at Newhalem Campground, which by the way has full bars LTE cell service (at least with Verizon)-but after nearly a month of dry camping since Red Fish, Idaho, we really needed to catch up on laundry and treat ourselves to a long hot shower! It rained while we were in the North Cascades, which prevented us from hiking. That was a bummer, because hiking might just be the single reason people go there, besides the scenic drive on Highway 20. We didn't do nearly as much as we would have liked, but we did have a great time. Sometimes, it's important to remember that having a great time together is better than doing as much as possible. And doing as much as possible might take away from having a great time!

So glad you enjoyed the Kingston Ferry - We are one of the ones that it is very normal for us!
Washington has so much to offer. Beaches, mountains , hiking,biking,great food ,friendly people!!! Come back soon
Yes it definitely does
I’m totally impressed that you pronounced “Skagit” correctly in the first try! Winthrop, Mazama and that whole area are truly spectacular.
Would love a KYD coffee mug with the 0.0 camper level symbology!!☕️👍
Nothing better than a level camper!!
Incredible been using a tire thumper since old truck days in the 70s! And yes they also have another use for security! ThomyT
Every video just gets better. Marc I had flashbacks to my childhood when you said "Ruby Falls"....never let go of a small child in Ruby Falls as it will scar them for life. Glass baby, semi trucks & ferries covers all the bases. Thank you for taking us along !
Love Sundays at 8 pm yeah!
I work for the ferries and if you you look at the 4:37 mark of your video you'll see how the ticket seller estimated your rig length. There are measuring lines painted on the ground so they can easily judge your vehicle length.
That's Kingston. At Port Townsend and Coupeville (Keystone) they have a measuring wheel they roll on the ground from front of truck to back of camper.
KYD and The Three Amigos…. Going to be a good night!!😃
GREETINGS!!! and
WELCOME TO OUR LOVELY CORNER OF THE WORLD...
have been doing the North Cascades and Winthrop for years!!!
WELL DONE AS USUAL!!!
safe journeys and bright stars to shine upon you!!!
You live in a beautiful area. We are in Oregon but try and get up there when we can.
You were within five minutes of my house on this trip! Would have been wild to run into you.
I've lived in the PNW all my life and still get awed every time I ride a ferry. And I'm in North Cascades NP regularly and never knew there was a lit up waterfall!! We'll have to check it out next summer.
Thanks for this great video. I love all of them, but this one being (almost) literally in my backyard made it that much more special.
I so look forward to your videos every Sunday!! I live vicariously through your travels. We took our 5th wheel on the Alaska Ferry system when we moved to Alaska from Nevada for hubby's job back in 2005. Boarded the ferry in Bellingham WA to Juneau, then had to hotel it one night in Juneau, then caught another ferry from Juneau to Whittier the next morning. A total of 6 days on the ferry...and it was in the month of March! When his job ended in 2012, I told him I would only move back to the lower 48 on the ferry. SUCH AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Many great memories! The entire ferry from Juneau to Whittier was full of Coast Guard people and their families moving up to AK for their new deployment. Met lots of wonderful people on that ferry. Many thanks for the memories of getting on the ferry. P.S....we also took the Badger ferry from WI to MI, on our way to the UP. I remember feeling a bit "green" that morning, as Lake Michigan was a bit rough!
Awesome story
I grew up in the NW. This made me homesick in a good way!
10:30 You guys should check out Ellie in Space's video, "Starlink helping during disaster... and race cars." A guy developed a flat mount for Starlink dishes. His company is called, Star Mount Systems. You could have a flat mount Starlink dish on your roof so you never have to worry about set up or tearing down.
One of my fellow UPS brothers for the win !! Thanks Matt for helping out my KYD fam !!
We love our UPS driver back in Flag.
We live in the PNW, thank you for reminding us how beautiful our state is, sometimes you take things for granted, it is good to see it from someone else's perspective.
After driving a school bus for about 20 years.
I learned that when I pull in and turn at an angle.
So when someone parks in front of you. You are not waiting for their come back.
As a longhaul trucker, the PNW is my favorite part of the country.
This is the first time I can recall an RVer mento Chelan Washington. We used to visit family there that had an orchard!
Washington State Ferries are the best! If you have a chance to stay longer in Winthrop, it’s a great place to go white water rafting too! In early summer, we would often do the loop from Seattle - up through North Cascades, stop in Wenatchee to get cherries and then back to Seattle on I-90! Lots of great day trips in the Cascades!!
Yes!
It was fun to see my house in your video when you were on the Kingston/Edmonds ferry. Thanks for the good channel.
Love your new intro!!
We love following you every Sunday night... Thanks so much
This is a fantastic and beautiful part of Washington State. I lived in Newhalem when I was about 5 years old and my father worked on the power houses of the Skagit River dams. Winthrop and Chelan were so close to where I graduated High School - Wenatchee. My father also worked on the dams and powerhouses on the Columbia River. Your video brought back many memories. Great videography.
Wenatchee grad here too!
You passed through Concrete, WA, and Lake Chelan is enunciated Lake Shelan.
Hope you get a chance to take the boat Lady of the Lake from Chelan to Stehekin. Great day hikes from there.
Years ago, a bus full of school kids went off the edge of Lake Chelan, which is 1,500 feet deep in some places.
Lake Chelan State Park and 25-Mile Creek are wonderful places to camp, particularly off-season.
If you get a chance, check out the little park at the bottom of Lake Chelan Falls.
I loved seeing your reactions to the Edmonds-Kingston ferry!! I live 10 minutes north of Coupeville and ferry reservations are definitely needed during the summer for the Port Townsend-Coupeville line!!
I look forward to every Sunday! As a "Floridian" (Space Coast), know that during the hurricane as I sat and 'contemplated' as is the usual during these times... I thought of you all being new Floridians. Strange since I've never met you. Although, I feel like I've gotten to know you through the vlog. I am living vicariously through you. My aspirations we're to travel the US since during my Air Force day's I have seen much of Europe, Asia and a few other places less desirable. 😉 But my health took a drastic turn and a divorce put the cherry on top. I find myself with my "nest empty" and struggling to find my next purpose in life. Until then I am living vicariously through you. There are times you take my breath away, laughing and even shed a tear or two (graduations etc)... But most importantly looking forward to a new adventure every week. Safe travels!
I bought “tire thumpers” for my daughter and I to carry in our vehicles. They are awesome weapons and since it isn’t called a weapon we can use it to beat the heck out of someone without being accused of being pre meditated! My daughter had an incident at a gas station once and she used the passenger door of the perps car to beat the heck out of the idiot! I like your uses as well. I used a walking stick to push on my brake to start my car from the back when it got really cold sleeping in the back.
Winthrop, WA... my sis-in-law lives here. We are in Berrien Co, MI. Husb is from Seattle, WA. We met as pen pals when he was in Navy and I was still in high school. Met in 1969 and married in 1971, will be married 53yrs Nov 2024.
Thought I recognized that ferry. I love that ferry! Pt Townsend - Coupville. Awesome!
Enunciated Winthrup, lol. Winthrop. Great town.
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT SUN MOUNTAIN LODGE.
I look forward to every Sunday night video. Caleb has to make these adventures so much fun. He is such a hoot. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
I need one of those tire thumpers to start my husband’s truck from the passenger seat! Genius!!
Idk if it’s the lights or sheer beauty, but dang I ♥️ America! Thanks for sharing ❤
As a life long (65 years) Seattleite I smile at the great experience you had on our ferries. Now, the folks who daily commute back and forth from the islands to the city probably have some stories to tell, but your experience seems pretty normal to me.
BTW Lake Chelan is pronounced "shell-ANN"
Caleb Rudolf is a caribou, not a common deer. Speaking of deer, Winthrop is known as the capitol of deer running into cars- they're everywhere like rats.
My sister is from that area and I know Winthrop well. I am so glad you took the time to stop even though it put you behind on a travel day. It is a very fun and special town!
Great western themed town. Couple cool ones in WA
We in law enforcement call that a baton/night stick.
My suggestion is too keep it away from Trisha or it will become a husband/son correction stick.😁
Keep the rubber on the road and safe travels.
Thanks for you service. Dad was an officer for over 20 years.
@@adventuresofjandk I had an amazing career. It's a shame to many government representatives have taken a false prospective against law enforcement. God bless you and your family.
@@brianhubbard4175 agree. Not even close to same level of respect these days unfortunately. I blame politicians and our so called media. All the best to you and yours as well.
Great video and welcome to the PNW!
One thing to note, you took the ferry from Kingston to Edmonds, but the Google Maps screenshot showed a different route.
That's the type of town I grew up in 🥰🥰 Beautiful spot ! Safe Travels guy's ❤️
Number 3 getting closer
Okay... ...HOW can you always be so level? - You're the LevelMate Pro KING! - I have one, but rarely am I perfectly level. 😀😀
Calab looks like a young Tony Curtis, love watching your family.
Another really cute pair of sandals, Trish..
they look life Reefs.
Welcome to my part of the world! N. Cascades is beautiful!
Great video as always! I was amazed to see the boat on the ferry with you, the Grady White, they are made in Greenville, NC where i live. It has made long trip to the west coast!
Northern Cascades has been on my radar for quite some time. This episode proves why.
you guys passed within 40 miles of our cabin near Crawfish Lake north east of Omak and then 7 miles from our home north of Spokane Valley up the hill above Otis Orchards. Would have loved to run across you guys. Keep it up!
Was at Crawfish Lake a couple weekends ago, it was beautiful!
You always do such a good job, letting us see and feel things some of us can’t experience in person. Keep up the good work by the way, the music was great Thank you.
Per usual an OUTSTANDING video.
And I especially appreciate your great selection/s of background music.
It really fits the video !!!
Who knew they had chain-link fence in 1935? Wow! 😂 👍🏻 love your show! Thank you.
Welcome to our neck of the woods. One place that you missed was Fort Worden (where they filmed Office and a Gentleman), up at Port Townsend, that’s a great campground. FYI Lake Chelan is pronounced Shay-LĀN. Great video.
One of the spots I visited when I was out there in May. Gorgeous.
Thanks for crediting the Big Girl song last time you used it l was looking all over the internet for it. Nice song.
We were in Winthrop in May. We went into a restaurant, Three Fingered Jack, and we were lucky enough to have their dishwasher singing opera for us. He is a classically trained opera singer. What a treat. The restaurant is the oldest legal saloon in Washington state.
Happy Sunday KYD Family!! Safe travels!
Winthrop is a nice reward at the end of the road!
The car / truck show got me thinking. Where’s the MG??
Can't say enough about this one, very entertaining as usual. Everything just falls in place, Caleb is a character. Just can't beat the northern coast. Surprised you didn't look for a bungalow there. Florida seems like you are rolling the dice. I saw a RV today that was similar to the BIRD and thought of you guys from your past❤️🤠
I added the Telegram app but it needs phone number to send it to you
Just a fyi the loggers use a spring board to stand on while felling timber. So what you referred to as a plank is indeed a spring board. Thanks again for the great vids. Dennis
Nice old frightshakers! Beautiful!
So beautiful, I sometimes miss the mountains of Washington , moved from there to Kentucky about 5 months ago. Kentucky has some great places too, but no real mountains, alas.
I had a “Faces of Death” moment when you were behind Log Truck!!! 😅
It really is so fun to make discoveries and be surprised! That's why we travel. Thanks for showing a corner of the country I haven't visited - yet.
Haines to Shagway was the craziest ferry we've been on so far with our trailer.
Watching tonight's video of you in our neck of the woods, PNW. About a month ago my husband came home from working in the Spokane area and said he thought he saw you guys on the freeway heading to CDA, Coeur d'alene, Idaho. Safe travels.
I’m so glad you accidentally found Winthrop, it is such a fun town. My favorite wine glass is from the glass blower you showed on this episode. If you ever come back I suggest staying at Pearrygin Lake State park, it’s a few miles out of town and one of the best places for stargazing in the state. In my opinion the North Cascades highway and Methow Valley has some of the most beautiful scenery in Washington State. This was a really fun episode for me to watch as you got to explore all of the areas I have enjoyed while living most of my life in WA. I’m glad you were able to come in to WA and explore our beautiful parks.
Had a job at makah and stayed in sekiu. We did laundry in Forks which worked out well and there’s a good pizza place across the street. Of course Port Angeles has laundry but forks is more scenic I think. Don’t miss Hurricane Ridge and the Ho rain forest when on the Olympic Peninsula.
Had my first Elk burger in Forks.
Thanks again for highlighting my glorious, beautiful, best-in-country state!
Love watching your travels. My Dad was in the Army in Washington state at the end of WWII and in the 90's he and I took a trip out there from Tennessee. We went to the North Cascades and I have a picture of him on the same bridge you were on outside that old powerhouse. Thank you for the flashback.
Awesome story
I grew up in the Methow Valley (Mazama, Winthrop, Twisp, etc.). Living 3200 miles away, this brought happy tears to my eyes.
I cannot describe the sheer joy I get by watching your videos. My wife and I are retired school teachers as of 2019. We started RV'ing and love it. However, we don't get to rv nearly enough. I live my desires and destinations right now through your videos. I just hope that we will be able to travel and visit to even just a fraction of the locations you and your family have gone to. Again, I smile every time I see one of your videos. Thanks for the joy. I wish all of your family the best. Robert Burton
The best part of RV travel is discovering the things and places "no one knows is there" like Winthrop! Two hours of shear discovery and delights. Then on to the destination you planed for.
I loved going to the Olympic peninsula when I lived in Spokane. It was fun to catch the ferry from Seattle to & fro and then occasionally from Port Angeles to Victoria Island to explore more. What a fun time, great place, miss the camping in Washington’s rain forest
Hard to beat the NW
We just loved that video. We lived in Edmonds from '72 to '80. Miss the PNW to this day. Thanks.
So happy you all got to go over hwy 20 Winthrop is my fav🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨
Such a cool little western town. We loved our visit there.
Enjoy the rest of our state it’s pretty dried out this year. Safe travels!
@@jojohisgrove3218 ya we are in Oregon so same here.
Next time check out Leavenworth, Washington. Its a wonderful Bavarian town in the Cascade mountains.
OMG! I was just going to suggest they go there. We tent camped at the KOA there, which was amazing!
Marc and Trish & Caleb this is such awesome breath taking scenery thanks for sharing hopefully you all will have safe healthy travels
That's great - 'tire thumper' and 'brake pusher' - that qualifies as a multitasker. It stays! And when the bee flies into your shirt at Holloween time, does that make it a 'boo bee'?😁🤔
Locks like you were following our trailer's twin onto the ferry. We have a Coachman Clipper 17FQ. It is in storage for our winter.
Great video. Have fun!
You all inspired us to get camping/RVing. More importantly the value of unplugging as a family & spending as much time as possible having adventures, tastier heathier food, making memories & new friends. THANK YOU KDY!!!
My daughter and son in law live in Bellingham and go to Winthrop all the time to camp. At Christmas they rent a cabin and enjoy a white Christmas. My husband and I camped at Twisp when we drove our rv over from Wyoming! Absolutely beautiful area!
Thanks for bringing us along!
We love it!!! We have loved all our trips to Washington and really enjoyed seeing your visit there too
Being from Huntington Beach California enjoyed another great video,good memories 👏🫵🏼🍺👏 thank you 👏
Lol. Thumper serves 3 purposes. When your out on the road and there’s the unexpected out there, your #3 may be the same reason I carry one in my truck too.
Welcome to our part of a
Washington. So glad you were able to see the beauty of the Cascades.
Beautiful area. We are in Oregon and try and get up there when we can.
... our part of 'a' Washington?
Yes come back! Awesome hiking here!!!
Your local UPS driver almost always knows the things to see and places to eat! Just retired from 43 years at UPS and me and the wife now take month(s) long rv trips now.
Beautiful footage and great ideas of things to do! We were doing a loop to Chelan and Winthrop the same days as you. Had to wait a day for that same slide to be cleared on Hwy 20. Gotta love the North Cascades highway!
Definitely one of the most gorgeous parts of Washington State. You went by Colonial Creek campground at Diablo and back in out tent camping days, we used to camp there all the time.
Way behind on the “tire thumper” ! Thought I was only one to carry for RVing. Been carrying one for about 30 yrs now! Keep it in the rear passenger door for when I’m refueling, can check tires and you never know who’s going to come “visit” while your mind is not on what may be happening around you! Just sayin! 😁😉Thanks for the adventures!
Visited 2002 remember Port Angeles, Mount Olympus Olympus National park beautiful area great chill people / culture. Oh by Port Angeles is Dungeness bay, at a fish house in PA had freshest insane Dungeness crab. Being a Frasier fan loved going on ferries seeing that on your vid.
thanks for the blogs ... love them & use them. much appreciated.
Dang, that was lucky on that ferry ...it's been a cluster all summer with staff shortages & boat cancelations. A 3 hr wait was typical. We're heading to N. Cascades next week, squeezing in one last trip before snow closes it for the winter.
So good to finally see y'all exploring our neck of the woods!! We've been watching you for years, and you gave us the courage to try RVing...finally received our Imagine in Dec. 2020...changed our lives in the best possible way. Thank you. Hope you enjoyed Washington!
Another classic KYD. Thanks.
Loved the North Cascades footage. On my bucket list. Thanks!
Beautiful area
Loved Trish's amazement on the ferry! 😆 Yep - you're in my hood now, and yes, that's a very "normal" mode of transport around the Puget Sound. So fun to see you on roads I've traveled all my life. Growing up here was a huge blessing. So gorgeous. Glad you made it to our piece of heaven. 😊
A GREAT EPISODE,HAVE A GREAT WEEK, MAY GOD BLESS!
Wow what a great video. Enjoyed that last little town and the car show.
Stunning scenery and Marc spectacular cinematography! Loved the cute little town at the end and the ferry ride was cool too.
Love this video. In July of 1980, I and 6 college buddies, backpacked 75 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail starting just outside of Seattle up by where you guys were. What an adventure. It was just beautiful. Every night we would dream about a great Salmon dinner with blueberry ice cream from a particular restaurant in Seattle when we left the trail. Now my wife and I travel with our Rockwood TT and grill our own Salmon dinners.
