Beautiful views. I hope to get out there for at least a section hike soon.

Just came across this video randomly but it is a nice video, keep on doing it! Where is it??

Really enjoying your videos. I was hiking thru this section last year about same time. Had to get off at quincy due to fires. Plan on heading back in July to continue on!

Thanks for sharing these wonderful views. 👍1

very nice video

My wife and I did the section from Washburn to the beach access over the guard rail beginning around 10pm so we could avoid traffic as much as possible, especially in the tunnel. It was especially cool to see the light house at night!

I would highly recommend The Drift Inn in Yachats, their food/pizza/cinnamon roll is totally worth the stop, when you come back.

Thinking of staying in a place for 2 nights and hiking than bus back, and then bus out to where we left off the next morning in a couple of spots to avoid the no water issue. Are buses frequent on 101?

Sweet!

I feel a big part of this trail is boat shuttles and bus rides for safety sakes. I am already planning a couple of bus skips. We really want to enjoy this hike, not feel obligated to place our feet on every inch of the red line. I think they stitched this trail together the best they could for now, and had to add 101.

Trouble with so many names...But nailed "chubby little Mermaid"🤣🤣😂

I have a picture of that same bench! Great video. I’ll be back there in a few weeks. Really like LHHT! Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail ua-cam.com/video/2wJMiZXpuc4/v-deo.html

Are the bugs bad in the open shelters?

I would love to know how you managed a boat shuttle to Bayocean spit! I read thet stopped those. So excited to see we will not need to bus it.

BTW, I am your 100th!

Although we are planning our complete route, it is nice to see you can plan ahead as you go. We will be booking places while on trail a few days in advance of arriving.

This is going to be a great asset for my planning for Aug/Sep 2025!

I’ve done that trail twice. Nice trail. Once with Roadrunner. Phoenix

From the Sand Lake Dunes area, if you cross the creek and stay west you can just walk the beach all the way to Cape Kiwanda/Pacific City. My wife and I are doing the OCT in sections, enjoying your videos.

Thank you for this series of videos, this is by far the most complete account of the OCT that I've seen.I watched these before sleeping, at first i only listened to the daily summary, then realized how much i was missing by not seeing the expressions from Java 😉 I will recommend your channel whenever I get the chance. A couple of notes on hitching rides and catching the buses.A good pullover spot is almost mandatory ,near a spot where they are pulling out is best.(not where they're going 60 + without a pullover spot).talking to people at viewpoints can lead to rides. The buses will drop you off almost anywhere that has a decent pullover area,and will also pick you up (flagstops) if you call ahead. Happy Trails, ✌🏼

Did you find a decent water source ?

Wow 😲,amazingly beautiful campsite.

There's also a small hiker/Biker site at Cape Perpetua (no shower)$10 per person.

Is there a State Park,hiker/ biker camp near the south end of the peninsula?

Evidently catching a ferry doesn't qualify as an unsupported hike of the OCT, however I think it still counts as a completed thru hike. There's a road walk that goes around Nehalem Bay that doesn't require the short ferry across to Jetty Fisheries. ( i recommend the ferry). ✌🏼

Congratulations!!

The St. John’s bridge is scary to ride on!

Thanks for these videos. I'm enjoying following your journey.

Great shots today.

I really need to get down to this part of the coast! Beautiful!

At the end of the video is Floras Lake. This is 1 of the areas where we did prep hiking for our 2021 PCT thru hike attempt. Also Floras Lake is a very popular wind/kite surfing lake.

Watching your video and wanted to comment to boost you in the algo. You mentioned the triangle jetty, I asked chatGPT about it: The triangle shape of some jetties, including the one you saw near the Umpqua Lighthouse, is likely due to specific engineering and environmental factors. Jetties are built to control water flow, stabilize river mouths, and protect harbors from sedimentation and rough seas. A triangular shape can help dissipate wave energy more effectively, reducing the impact of strong currents and storms, which are common along the Oregon coast. Additionally, the angle of the jetty could influence how sand and sediment are deposited or how vessels can navigate around it. Engineers often design these structures based on the local coastal geography and wave patterns, optimizing them to protect the coastline and maintain navigable waterways. I also asked about other jetties that had triangle shapes: Triangular-shaped jetties, while less common than straight or curved ones, are often found in locations where specific coastal conditions demand specialized engineering solutions. These unique shapes are usually the result of the need to manage strong currents, wave action, or sediment buildup. Here are a few examples of areas where you might find jetties with unusual or triangular shapes: Manasquan Inlet Jetty (New Jersey, USA): While primarily a straight jetty, the design of Manasquan Inlet includes some angled structures that guide wave energy away from the inlet. In this case, the jetty acts as both a breakwater and a means to stabilize the inlet's shifting sand. Santa Cruz Harbor (California, USA): Though not fully triangular, the Santa Cruz Harbor features a breakwater that curves and creates angular points, which can appear triangular when viewed from certain angles. It helps manage the strong surf common in this area. Venice Inlet Jetties (Florida, USA): The Venice Inlet jetties in Florida have an unusual shape, including angled portions to control sediment drift and wave energy in this frequently trafficked area. While not a true triangle, their design incorporates sharp angles to deflect wave action. Port Mansfield Jetties (Texas, USA): Port Mansfield has jetties that extend into the Gulf of Mexico with angled arms that can create a triangular visual impression. These jetties help protect the narrow inlet from shifting sands and sediment deposition. Boca Raton Inlet (Florida, USA): Similar to some others, the jetty at Boca Raton inlet has sharp angles and breaks to reduce wave impact and manage sediment, giving it a distinctive geometric appearance when viewed from above. These jetties, while not always strictly triangular, feature significant angles or points to manage coastal conditions effectively. True triangular designs are typically found in areas where wave dissipation or sediment control requires a more complex approach to energy management. Coastal engineers tailor these designs to meet the specific hydrodynamic and environmental needs of each location. Anyway, Great video.. I'm excited to watch more of your hike.

I lived several years in St. Johns before moving south of Salem. The St. John's bridge never fails to inspire.

We Oregonians love camping! So thankful that they keep the State Parks in good shape.

Heceta Head - The "c" is an "s" sound. My old stomping grounds. Love the trails in that area. Best o' luck to ya!

Hi there! You probably don't remember us, but we met you at the trolley stop in Mammoth (headed towards Horseshoe Lake) on this day. It looks like you're both doing well! Keep it up!! 🙂

No comments? Where are you guys. I love your posts. ❤

how was the mosquito situation at Fort Stevens this summer?

Must be talking about the ocean water.

What do you eat when you're on trail? Keep going watching you daily Thanks Steve

Bayocean Peninsula was a town back in the early 1900’s. You might have seen markers showing where old buildings used to be. www.opb.org/news/article/oregon-bayocean-ghost-town-resort-tillamook-bay/?outputType=amp

If you guys are coming into the KOA 😅 come say hi to us in activities 🤙🏽🌺

Very nice video. Enjoyed watching. sub & 👍2

I’m excited to see the coast from the hiking perspective!

Do walk the north coast too. From Cannon Beach, at LOW tide- 1-hour window- go to Crescent Beach and walk up the trail to Ecola State Park ( Goonies and Kindergarten cop were shot here) . go through the final scene( Australia) of Point Break ( and Beach day in 1st Twilight movie) movie was shot at Indian Beach and keep going to Seaside, Fort Stevens then Astoria . then Bus? back down to Cannon Beach and go south. Be aware of the tide schedule, especially for Hug Point. Do sleep in a hotel in Manzanita and have a burrito at the Left Coast so you have the energy to do Cape Falcon, Oswald Short Sand Beach and go up Neahkanie from there. Do get a fish and chip in Newport and stop at the original Pelican Brewery by Cape Lookout. Keep going south until the Oregon border. So worth it! The Oregon Coast Trail is not the PCT. It is meant to be savoured and enjoyed. not rushed.

Wow! Scenery that i’ll never see in person. Thanks to you I am experiencing the beauty of one part of Amercia.

Hey guys. As one who enjoys nature, videos, and new scenery, your videos are absolutely amazing. Really beyond description. I look forward to each and everyone. I feel like I’m traveling along with you. Some of the scenery just cannot be described. I just wonder how you store all of your footage digitally and what you will do with it once you complete this trip. Anyway, looking forward to the next one.

You two are such troopers…and a little crazy!

Wow! You have to be soooo flexible. Can't wait to see what challenges the next day brings you.

Absolutely stunning scenery and views!
