Overnight near the Headwaters of the N. Fk Stillaguamish River
Went to a remote campsite in the cascades mountains to escape the summer heat. Beautiful, seldom visited area with a nice mountain stream, the North fork of the Stillaguamish river in its youth, before it gathers friends and becomes a mighty river. Had a dead battery in the morning so had to use my little jump box and thank goodness it worked.

Solo Overnight Driving the Historic Ellensburg to Wenatchee Wagon\\Stage Coach Route.
Переглядів 27921 день тому
Now called Colockum Pass Road, I begin in Ellensburg and travel over Colockum pass and look for the old stage halfway station. Though I had intended to camp near the pass, the presence of cattle meant there would be lots of flies, so I moved on. Then I start down towards to Wenatchee before heading off the wagon road and into the desert for an overnight camp. In the morning I finish the final f...

    Hey, Easy Camper, I live in South Pierce County. My wife has never been camping, and we have a 2 year old. I've done the bush thing, most of my life. I grew up building shelters and all of that. East of King, unincorporated areas. Where is a good place for us to go camping? Green water is a popular option, but maybe a little too popular. We have a van with good ground clearance, and I could put off road tires on it (front wheel drive). We'd like to go somewhere by a river, obviously, but out of the way enough to bring firearms. Maybe there are some spot in Green Water, idk. Maybe you know an area that you could DM me? Love your videos, man.

    • @dandog7653
      @dandog7653 День тому

      Been awhile since I've been to that area. I would suggest that you start with google maps and google earth. First look at google maps for a river, lake or whatever with road access. If you think you see something check further on google earth. Also, the main forest service roads are usually nice enough for the vehicle you described. The main routes consisting of a two digit number. In the greenwater area I remember FS 70. Gravel pits are good shooting areas, these show up on maps as a crossed shovel and pick. An app such as "US Tops Maps" can also be helpful. I would start with a nice day trip to suspected areas and find a nice spot to come back to. Hope that helps. Sorry I can't be more specific but I really haven't been in that area for some years. Thanks for watching and the kind words!

    Thanks for the wonderful camp spot.. its my mission in life to find such a place as that here in WA. lol Time to consider buying a Buletti AC180, 1800W, Amazon has them for $550. then ya wont drain your car battery. I have also used it on the EB70, [$369), lasted for a couple days without needing recharging. Just a thought. lol Think I woulda put my chair right in the river!

      I thought of putting my chair in the river but in the end I mostly waded and didn't sit much in the chair. Normally I would run the engine enough to keep things charged up but I was too busy having fun. I hope to one day afford a power station. would really open up some options, but thats in the future.

    Wow, I just found this last night! What a great trip! Are you just showing the best parts or is that road as nice as it seems? Somehow looking at that area from either side, or from over by Quincy, and knowing that there's not much out there, gives one the impression that it's real rough country. But what I saw looks like eastern Oregon. Thank you so much for the description of the river and Moses Coulee, I drive a Kia Sedona so probably will not be going , so thanks much for that beautiful perspective. Now I'm looking forward to your other episodes!

    There are regular ole forest animals that use one spot as a bathroom. They don't like the sh*t where they nest/den or near their babies. I do not believe in Sasquatch. Nor does my tribe, even tho they maintain a sightings call center. When asked if they've ever come across any real proof of it's existence during sightings investigation. They said No.-----Cherokee. The very ones who have stories of the Sasquatch ppl in our oral history lol. It's allegory. White ppl don't get that, and we love to tell the stories, but it's allegory.

      I'm sorry I just seen your comment. I have spent so much time in the forest and have never seen a bigfoot, so I am inclined to not believe in them either. I just can't get out of my head that what I seen doesn't' make any sense being from any animal I know of. That seed of doubt keeps me thinking, I will go back I'm sure as I'm still not satisfied. Thankyou for your input and perspective. BTW my father was Lakota.
