Bluebird Overland
United States
Приєднався 30 тра 2022
Were Julian, Lisa with our two dog Rasta & Mary, were adventurous married couple from Nebraska. We love traveling around the backroads of North America in our Jeep exploring new trails and enjoying natures beauty or hiking incredible trails with our pups. You can also find us occasionally venturing into new towns to enjoy a unique cup of coffee or bite to eat of a local favorite.
We created Bluebird Overland as a way of sharing our travels and inspiring others to get out and see the world and chase their dreams. We are not experts but are very enthusiastic about traveling and living a peaceful lifestyle away from the city. Though our goal is to explore all 50 states, our journeys are more about the experiences we get to share and the friendships we build along the way.
We hope to have you along for the adventure, please like, subscribe and comment. We greatly appreciate all of the support.

Переглядів 502Місяць тому
This week, we ventured into Northern Colorado to start exploring a new area just northeast of Georgetown. The additional weight on the Gladiator made things more challenging, but we were determined to test the jeep's capabilities without any aftermarket parts to accommodate the added weight.

On this week's adventure, we end up just outside Yakima Washington along the scenic byway of Highway 12. We intended to travel the backroads deep into the mountain range but due to some newly closed roads and private property, we had to revert. However, we found the last standing fire tower that we could explore along the trail overlooking the whole Highway 12 canyon.

Can i be petty for a minute. The statistics you read off are of the North Complex Fire and not the Dixie Fire.
Rad Gladiator! I always wondered how the roof racks worked on the Jeep tops.
We did to begin with also. JCR OFFROAD has some really good videos on most of their products they offer and everything is made in house to order. Really impressed with this rack.
love the drone shots brother. beautiful views. we just got back from doing the trail on foot, the whole time I was thinking how awesome it would be to do this or have an ATV. can't wait to see more of your adventures, subbed
Thank you so much. That trail looks like it would be so much fun to hike. We wanted to do some of it but we’re on limited time during this trip.
You know we used to live in Blackhawk Co. Before the Casino
I did not know that.
Awsome looks like lot of fun 👍👍
I was, Lisa had so much fun driving it all. It was nice to just relax and have someone else drive on my part also.
You didn't travel far but had to earn almost every mile. Nice driving! We love hanging out in Georgetown and Idaho Springs. I grew up in California's first mining town, New Almaden, 1845, so have a thing for mining towns.
Next time you are in Idaho Springs stop and give Beau Jos a try for dinner. Really good pizzas. Mining towns are so much fun to search for. So much incredible history to learn about.
@@BluebirdOverland I've been to all 47 remaining CO mining towns. I'm thinking of doing a series with our AWDTransitOverland on those towns. Some are remoteish but most are on pavement so not very overlanding, more of a road trip. I also want to NV and CA gold and silver mining towns. Next week we'll be exploring the back roads and passes in the San Juans and we'll cover those towns.
I appreciate all the details you put in to your videos. How long does it take you to put these together? I’ve always wondered
Thanks, I really enjoy adding information to my videos. Production of the videos depends on the video. Being new typically takes me about 2-3days to put everything together.
❤❤
Thank you so much
Looking forward to seeing the video!! You capture such beautiful footage!
Thank you so very much. It’s a learning process
Very cool
Thank you so much for watching. So happy you enjoyed.
Pretty cool. I did this run last week and camped down by the river. Drone makes it where you can spot sketchy areas. I came from the opposite direction, so it was sketchy at best!
Nice outing. Looks like you were able to miss the Jupiter fire and now there's another two up north and one down by Cushman. I travel with mt Yellow Lab and love every minute being out there watching her swim and run. North end weather can be on the wet side.
I love to drive so I love your more on driving footages. I can feel that I'm there with you. Nice road trip and the view is always relaxing to see. Thank you guys. God bless you.
Thank you so very much. I’m so happy you enjoyed the video and were able to feel and an experience from it. That’s the direction I’m trying to give off in my videos. Want my viewers to feel like they are there with me and actually see the trail and what it’s like. Thank you and god bless. He’s so good
I love the stories you tell throughout the video.
Thank you, I’m trying to get into talking in the videos a little more as I’m getting more comfortable with it
Ahh my backyard , damn fire 🔥
You have a beautiful backyard. I wish I could have spent more time in that area while I was there.
Beautifull amazing
Thanks so much. This adventure was a dream come true
You get a new rig?
Yup, we parked the red Jeep as we’re going to rebuild the suspension on it this winter.
@@BluebirdOverland excellent! I put on a 3in teraflex lift and falcon 3.3 shocks on my Red Jeep JK. Way better ride now. I live in the Seattle area. Maybe I’ll see ya someday on the trails. Cheers
As many places as you go, I am surprised you don't bring me rocks or crystals lol. I know some places you can't take anything from but, hey your brother owns a rock and crystal shop.. lol. Glad it is working for you, keep doing your thing!. Hi Lisa, bout time you got off work to go. Take care. I will share you on the the shop page again!
Hi Jesse! Yeah I hope to go on more, more often!
Lisa’s the rock girl. I wouldn’t even know what to look for.
Beautiful
Thank you
That's how it is in the Olympic NF and surrounding logging territory. The maps are inaccurate. The maps are wrong. Some things are gated and not shown on maps. Some things are shown as gated and they are not. Not surprising that your road ran into a river with a cliff. Some of these roads haven't been maintained since prior to The Nixon administration. One thing we ask carry here is a chain saw. With 100 trillion trillion trees, it's not uncommon for one to fall across the road. Especially in the winter, fall or spring when the winds kick up. You never go on these Forest service roads without a chainsaw. You can run up the road and then a tree falls across it and you can't get out. But of course there 's very little in the way of solution in case a big boulder falls across the road. Just hope your tow strap and your truck can pull it out of the way.
Yeah I bought an electric chainsaw to begin on my next adventures. The whole peninsula is absolutely stunning beautiful there were so many areas that I wanted to explore. Some of the roads were tight and we’re beginning to look overgrown which goes in line with what you’ve said.
I've sat in that same spot in Neah Bay and watched the eagles eat dead fish .. The Cape is one of the most beautiful places in WA
I was just driving along and seen a lot of cars stopped and I about lost it because prior i had never seen a bald eagle so close. There is a little coffee shop just up from that spot. It was so good also.
Another great video. Since i live on the south side of the Olympics, it's great to see some places in the north side to go off roading on. Great work
Thank you, I was amazed by the vast difference in landscape between the north and south sides of the peninsula. Very unique.
Great video brother! I tool around in the south part of the Olympics and randomly find camping spots like you do. Luckily I live only 20 minutes from the forest. Can't wait to see the rest of this series!
Thanks so much. There's SO much to explore on the south side of the Peninsula. I was pressed to leave and head back inland but was short on fuel. I will be back spring of 2025 to search out some epic trails and camps.
Love the video. Sadly this area is right on the fire line as of this week and Hwy 12 is closed. Also only way back down to Hwy 12 is along the divide ridge trail then down 4W608A to long lake and rimrock
I seen that this morning also that hwy 12 is closed. So sad that area is absolutely incredible. Hopefully the fire tower gets spared
@@BluebirdOverland I’d recommend using Gaia or OnX for trails to avoid gates
@@DelanoJlove both those platforms. I use both on the trail currently, both have really great features.
When-at-Chee and nat-cheese. Bad ass jeep but there is other ways without hitting gates. LMK if you’re in the area again
Thank you for the correct pronunciation on that. I absolutely plan on coming back to that area to explore some more this winter or come spring time 2025. Would love to know other ways around the gates.
This makes me want to get out of Florida for a few weeks.
Ahhh yeah, vacation time. Is your part of Florida to hot currently?
@@BluebirdOverland oh yeah already in the 90s
Awesome! I camped in that exact spot during the last winter solstice. That's one of my favorite areas.
Which spot? First or second one? They were both very unique fun camp spots.
The second spot Dusk Peak.
What’s the weight on it?
Mine weight in at 428lbs with a lot of extra gear and features added onto it.
Awesome video....just found your channel...absolutely subscribed....
Thank you so much. Blessed to have you and hope you continue to enjoy the videos to come.
Great video! Its still very beautiful up there. It's mostly burned over such a vast area but at least the Djxie fire left a lot of green patches in most of it's path, unlike the smaller but much more destructive fire in the west central part of the Plumas in 21.
Yeah I was very surprised by how much green was starting to come back already also. Very beautiful area. I plan to return sometime in 2025 to explore a little deeper into the area. Lots of very cool little towns headed up into this area also.
@@BluebirdOverland :)👍
Oh man I definitely went the wrong route lol I attempted to do this a couple of weeks ago
The fire-tower is easy to miss because it’s just a turn off from the main trail that’s wider and more ran.
Another route is down the mountain to Cowiche Mill Road
The intense blue water is so beautiful!
Very blue and very cold.
This channel is going to blow up with videos and views like this. Outstanding
Wow. Thank you so much. I have no words to express my gratitude for this comment it means a lot to me. I hope you continue to enjoy the content.
Great views!
Thank you so much. Makes me so happy you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful
Thanks so much, the trail is packed with beauty, and the wildflowers were going crazy.
Fresh snow is great till it starts bringing down trees all around you or covers up old winter snow. Beautiful country, lived north of Bremerton for a few years.
Yup! I totally agree. That was my only worry about getting back out of the area. It was very wet heavy snow!
cool video - I love your enthusiasm. nice quiet paying filler music, slow movements, great eye for cool shots.
Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate the feedback! I’m having so much fun creating and learning.
Meet up with any .?
Logging Trucks?
Nope I didn’t find any logging trucks through out Washington, but did have one night hearing active work being done in Oregon.
I love the search for snow ❄️!
I do as well! This was my first time camping in snow, let alone that much snow! ⛄️ Winter come soon!
I love the beautiful footage and seeing how you play with your beautiful dog in your videos.
Thanks so much. Ole Rasta dog thinks all balls are his. Even snow balls
Loving the scenic views and casual moves 👍 The music could be less-generic tho ;)
Thank you very much and greatly appreciate your feedback. I’ll go deeper on my sound next time.
That's a fun drive. I did it last year in the other direction. Camped right near the top.
That’s awesome. It was a great trail. I’d like to do it again sometime in the other direction. Were the rock slides present when you did it last year?
@@BluebirdOverland They were. I camped at the big site you passed at bout 18:50. One of those wide pullouts right at the top would have been perfect, but they aren't hammock friendly.
@@davepalmer1739 that's funny I thought about staying at that spot after I had passed it. Yeah, not much up there is hammock-friendly until you get down in lower elevations. Even this it was pretty sparse.
Excellent video. Felt connected throughout the whole episode. Nice mix of everything.
Thank you so much for the feedback. Greatly appreciated.
Dude, super jealous. That looks amazing!
It was amazing. Only thing I would have changed, HEAT. Because it was cold. - left the diesel heater home because I didn’t think I’d need it.
@@BluebirdOverland always a fun surprise, 😂
So gorgeous!!
Thank you. It was a winter wonderland
Loved it! Great nature scenes as well
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback. I like to add a good mix to the videos.
Wow!! what a fantastic video. Enjoyed watching the whole video. Thank you for sharing. 👍7
Thanks so much. It was such an amazing time exploring the various coastal areas Washington has to offer.
Is that the Jeep I worked on in Wichita Kansas😁
Sure is. Was so good meeting you and so grateful for your help.
Love this!
Thanks so much, very thrilled you enjoyed it.
