Hi Dustin. as of recent I'm going through some rough times. I started watching your adventures right around the time my girlfriend of 7 years left me. What your doing and your videos are about the only thing that keep me going every day. I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Just wanted to share 🙂
Glenn, I’m very sorry to hear you have been struggling. It seems this life likes to give us all a few more of those than we’d prefer, but I assure you they all pass. Thank you so much for enjoying the show, and I’m very happy to hear that it brings some joy into your life. It brings a lot of joy into my life, because I can only do it because of the folks that enjoy it like yourself. If anything, I thank you. Chin up amigo, today’s gonna kick ass and tomorrow’s gonna get a little easier.
Well, sharing is great. Feel free to share. You never know how many miserables people around you who may be benefit from your confidence. Compliment for your strong will to go on.
Hang in there pal,... adversity, tough times do pass,...it might not seem like it now , but in the not so far off future you will look back on this hard time as a period of growth that made you stronger, and ultimately happier. Peace and love.
Glenn, I feel your pain. I got dumped after 27 years of marriage +3 years living together prior to marriage. Heal yourself! I actually feel healed and have thrived! Get out and do anything! I found Dustin’s channel because I love abandoned places. I saw Chernobyl after my failed marriage, I went to burning banks…. the point I guess is just start anywhere! I just finished watching Dustin’s trip to Whittier, my neck of the woods!❤️ Just do one small adventure! On another note…Dustin, thank you for posting really great content!
Your reaction to the "motorhome intruder" could have won on oscar! That was great. I legit thought some crabby crabber was coming after you. Windshield wiper transition was great.
Cooling Tower 3 was once taken over by a Decepticon in Transformers 5: The Last Knight. And Mark Whalberg saved the day in Cooling Tower 5 in Transformers 4: Age of Extinction. 6:13 that is a Tunnel boring machine 17:28 time to build another Frankenator. Having two spare rebuilt alternators on hand.. Another awesome video. Thanks Dustin. Welcome Home..
Oh yeah! I knew I forgot something! Lol..the motorcycle hauling butt as it blew up behind him. They did a cool Nike commercial there too. Thanks for the reminder.
Holy moly… I’m in Washington and driven by SATSOP many times on the way to the ocean. I always figured something was going on out there! Thanks for the close up! 🙏
You should at least stop by for a look. You can stand under one of the cooling towers and yell out to see how many times it echos. I was able to get a private tour of it years ago and the guy showing us around said that he thought the the cooling tower might hold a record for echos.
14:43 is brilliant. Your cinematography, editing and now "trick photography" is becoming award winning. I, and I'm sure all 122,000 other subscribers appreciate all the hard work you put into your episodes. Safe travels to you. Mahalo 🤙
I was coming home from the U.S. one night, and threw the alternator belt. Kept driving without headlights... and was so glad to make it back over the border. A dead motorhome right at the customs booth would have really been something though. Great episode.
I have a friend that goes up to Beaverton every year, he said it's been raining since he got there. That power plant was cool. Think it'd make a good amusement park. Yea! They could fit the cooling towers with ramps that start at the top and circle around and around all the way to the bottom. For the ones that chicken out you could have an emergency exit ramp! Yee-Haa!! What a spin on life that would be. Bet you could make that 24 billion back in no time. That old house i just love. To bad i didn't see any for sale sighs. Had my pen ready tho. Good fixer upper there now. Hey Dustin, great explore:-)
Hey Dustin! You are completely hilarious! You represent Canadians beautifully! Good-natured and able to swap out a homebrew alternator with a vice grip and a hammer! Your parents did an excellent job!
I live in WA and have toured the Satsop plant. Driving out the to the coast in 2014 it caught my attention and I doubled back to explore. As for that 'cave' you found in Garibaldi, I recently paddle through it on a sea kayak eating lunch below the tracks...out playing in the rocks and currents out there for practice.
Wow what a wild ride! So much packed into this one and I loved it! As usual you're drone footage was stunning, the power plant was so cool. I loved the bit you did with your twin lol.
Thanks for checking out our town!! Most of the site is used for tree farming now, the first long building you went to is we store tools for logging and management
I live near Satsup and have been to the Satsup plant many times. I also walked in a private tour with a group. Our tour guide was a super smart guy that was part of the team that was in the process of writing the start up procedure for the reactor when the project shut down. At 4:57 the dome you speak of is the dome for the second reactor that was almost finished and ready to be lifted.
Excellent! Just from the thumbnail and the title I knew that you were in my backyard! I live in a little town called Shelton in Washington... It's about 45 minutes away from Satsop. We frequently go up there just to snoop around. There are a few geocaches in the area also.
I lived in Elma WA for 2 ½ years starting in 1981. I worked for Ebasco Services as a piping/mechanical engineer building Satsop #3. I saw cooling tower #5 being constructed (awesome slip-ring concrete pour) and #3 reactor, steam generators, and containment dome being set using the largest mobile crane in the world. We set an industry record 50% project completion in 2 years while I was there. I think I worked in one of those offices with the locked doors! Haha. Glad to see Satsop has been put to some use, though sadly it looks like an operating Nuke Plant on the grid would be helpful right now. Your video brings back many memories and is very well done, Great job! Loved the drone work too! I have a Phantom P4P drone and was curious as to what you are flying. I also use DaVinci Resolve Video editor which I love. The NW Pacific coast is an amazing part of the U.S. and I loved exploring all around the Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound. Safe travels and keep up the great work!
Omg Noooo!!!! You should've picked me up on the way lol! You were at the old U.S. Coast Guard boat house pier. 😭. I've crabbed Garibaldi so many times over the years, it's my favorite spot! I'm in West Hillsboro. There's a public pier right across by the fish cannery or whatever down by the Garibaldi Marina. It's one of the best spots for crabbing but I do love the old pier you crabbed, especially when it's as stormy winter day 🥶. If there's been a lot of rain recently the freshwater dumps into Tillamook bay and reduced the salinity pushing the crabs further out into the bay or ocean. The Jetty Fishery just North of Garibaldi always seems to have crab and boat rentals, they had a sign out front that said "Sleep with us & catch crabs!" 😂. I had always wondered about the old nuclear power plant up in Washington but boy oh boy was I surprised when you went to my favorite crabbing spot. 😊. Thanks for the video Dustin. Safe travels!
great job on your doppelganger kicking you out, had me rewinding a few times to see the transition.... very creative.... love the video in general as usual, but like when you though in these sidewinders.
I always get so stoked to see you back in Oregon buddy !!! its like watching someone go through your memories with a video camera. epic !!! the crabbing always kinda sucks in Garibaldi. but atleast it looks like you had fun! I wish you had more time on the coast. I would have told you to visit Kelly's marina (you definitely passed it on your way to astoria) keep on keepin on amigo !!! but always remember to take a day for yourself. !
@@Destination_Adventure I should have known !! Lol. I swear they only put females out thair so you have to buy thair crab in the store 😉 next time you come through Portland , we will take you out to catch salmon!!
Of course you had to make time for the power plant! I would have had to stop there too. I also really enjoy seeing your ingenuity with things like the frankenstor. Keep up the great videos!
I have been bing watching your videos ever since I came across the channel, I believe it was last night hahaha. I just have to say, I love your spirit! So positive, uplifting, & a contagious laugh!! I am obsessed w these videos!!
As always, I totally enjoy your adventures. That was a really cool power plant. Very empty, but interesting. I stayed in Newport, Oregon for two weeks. The road looked familiar you traveled. I loved my visit there. So very different from my Florida coastline. Thank you for all you do. Glad your alternator is better now. Sorry you did a zero on crabs. Wasn't meant to be.
Thanks for your shows; can’t wait for more North adventures. That old Oregon nuke power plant parking lot looks to have a gem in the crack weeds. Wild pineapple chamomile. Delicious tea weeds. Make you sleepy like the domestic chamomile. Tnx. Btw, I’m up on the north edge of the Olympic Penninsula. Cabin on the straits. You should mosey up in this area sometime. Daily adventures here
3 things u can try regarding over heating on your alternator.1-get an offroad alternator.The good ones have heavier diodes and double up the regulator 2-get some sheet aluminum and make a heat shield for under the alternator 3 run some kind of flex piping from the front near a fresh air source not behind the rad but rather off to the side were you have access to cold air coming thru as u motor along.Also make sure it is grounded well the alternator...pipe dont matter.Great channel
The problem I have with this alternator, is that it’s motorhome chassis specific, and only comes in 105 amp. They just can’t seem to keep up, but I might get one custom made that can handle more.
Incredible that you were able to get so close and access the property at that plant ... I'm so in awe of those structures & the eerie feeling of apocalypse it creates inside me. I'd absolutely love to travel there.
Ahhhh.I saw the car in the tree...its pretty well known in these parts lol!!!In our neck of the woods! We did the train from Geribaldi to Rockaway....so fun....we live in McMinnville Oregon and travel north often....we were😅 at Lincoln city a week ago... The smaller towns are awesome! We always explore those too! It was fun to see you in close to where we live! Hope u come back! Do a Goonies tour! Glad we found your channel! So fun!❤
You were in Washington! Have always wanted to visit Satsup. From the freeway, they look so scary and ominous. Oregon and Washington have had record breaking amounts of rain this Spring..everything is green. You drone footage was fab!
Good eye, they’re so big you can see them from the freeway. Seeing it from below is wild though. From the highway I kinda thought they were beehive burners hahaha
Dustin: Great choice nuc power plant, agreed there is just something apocalyptic about these places especially when they are unused or abandoned. The piece of equipment you spied near the end of plant tour is what we refer to as a TBM or Tunnel Boring Machine. It's definitely new suspect its being storing there cus there's lots of space. Once fully assembled they are as long as a hockey rink. They will use two of these to complete the tunnels for the subway extension project in Vancouver. The Mexico/US tour was great showed me so many places I've never been to.Looking forward to more adventures at home.
Thanks so much for sharing. I was always curious about the nuke plant abandoned on that side of the Oregon. Also that bridge, so much fun to see you take it in a motorhome.
This video was awesome! I’m 19 and when I was 16 my two buddies and I took a road trip to Hartsville, Tennessee to the nuclear power plant next to the trousdale correctional facility. It was never completed as on March 22, 1983, they ran out of money about halfway through. It was quite the adventure until the place was surrounded by county sheriffs… Apparently we parked in a sketchy spot and they didn’t quite like it. Needless to say it was my very first abandoned exploration and it forever captivated my love for exploring! Keep up the awesome videos!!!
Thanks for another great video Dustin. I drove that bridge out of Astoria many times when I stayed there during a big USA/Canada adventure in 2007. Love the Pacific north west, such a beautiful part of the world.
The site was abandoned for 15 years, 1984 to 1999. NASA is not a tenant of the park. The windows are blocked by the tenants that rent that space. The weird round thing, as you called it, was a top to the round containment building that sits behind it. The compass painted on top of the lid is said to be correct. Had you stopped for a visit during working hours some of the workers could have answered most of the questions you had. The large machine you saw, is a tunnel boring machine which is used for training by the Laborers Training Trust. The large tunnel you saw under the tower is used for tunnel training by emergency responders, who also use the towers for high-angle rescues. Military use the park for training as has DARPA. Very cool drone footage.
That lid is from the #5 containment vessel. The lid for #3 was destroyed when the Chicago Bridge and Crane bolted to the #3 vessel collapsed and destroyed a lot of the building in May of 1980. We as workers weren't supposed to talk about it. L&I never knew about it but then again the contractors were self insured.
Wow,you were only about ten miles from my place. We’d of cooked ya a good home cooked meal. We really enjoy your show. You’re a fantastic wrencher. Told my wife you learned a lot working with your dad around all that equipment. I’m a retired forester and worked all that ground around the nuke plant. Anyway, keep up the good work. Jim&Sharon Furubotten
You came through Sumas, Welcome back. Not sure you really want to be back. Weather has been crappy more or less since you left. How you liking our high gas prices! Can't wait for your next adventure.
Thank you. It’s nice to be back. I really do feel welcomed back with all of these comments from my Canadian amigos. Honestly, the gas prices suck here. Three countries in the past two months, and Canada is almost exactly the same as both USA and Mexico gas prices combined. I am so excited for the northern adventures, and I’m proud to be back in Canada, I just don’t understand the gas price. Anyways, that will be my only rant, lol sorry. Thank you for enjoying the show.
Another great video. I lived in Grants Pass Oregon for several years and drove to Bandon on the coast many times. It’s a good thing you have mechanical skills.
so the dome was originally to be used for radioactive waste and transportation of the waste basically it was gonna be drums of clothing or gloves or random things that become radioactive low level waste, it would not sit for long before being shipped to Hanford or another location for disposal. the whole site use to have razor wire fencing around the entire complex with two security gates that are no longer present. I was selected of a tour of 100 people mostly kids me and 4 others were given the chance to stand inside the not yet started reactor, though it was never started it was ready to go. we went through the containment doors when they were both still there lol
At TIme Index (TI) 5:00 minutes in, that some would have been the top to the reactor, which you show at TI 5:35. At TI 5:58 the round thing/ huge drill bit, is a somewhat small TBM, tunnel boring machine. Fortunately for you they never had any radioactive material at that site. I dig that old Chevy stuck in the tree.
I laughed when you said that the windows were tarped up because the first thing that came to mind was it's a Grow Show and then when I heard that power hum from the Transformers and I said the same thing it's gotta be a Grow Show lol Thanks for another great video. Cheers
Oh wow how cool is it that the train came by as you were flying. So cool. Why did that guy park so close to the tracks??? WTH did he think would happen? Another amazing video sir!
Great, amazing, magnificent, superb, astonishing... The dictionary doesnt cover enough words for the videos you create! Keep on rocking in the free world!!!!! Greetings from Maldives
Very cool video of Satsop. I work in the nuclear industry and love seeing some of the never built places. I've been in Bellefonte NPP years ago which is a B&W design and Watts Bar 2 before it was finished (Westinghouse design). I think Satsop must have been a CE design. A partially built Containment Building (with dome on ground), Auxiliary Building with Spent Fuel Pool (around the base of containment), and Emergency Diesel Building was interesting to see.
Ive lived in washington for 25 years and i never knew we had these in washington. Theyre freaking huge! I drove by them like 4 hours ago. And now i see a video of it on youtube. Freaking coincidence. This is kinda weird
I live by there. I remember when it was being built. I drive up there every once in a while. They have a model of it in one of the buildings of what it would of looked like when finished. It had all the pipes and wiring. Really cool!
They demolished the cooling tower at Trojan in Oregon for whatever reason a few years ago. It wasn't hurting nothing and it kind of marked the halfway point between Portland and Astoria on Hwy 30.

Your reaction to the "motorhome intruder" could have won on oscar! That was great.

Windshield wiper transition was great.
Thanks dude. I’m not really a good actor, so I appreciate that I pulled it off.
You totally pulled it off
same here lol, was wondering who the hell was gona come in. Special guest maybe...wait...what, a second Dustin ?
Yeah that entire segment was flawless, great editing work on that too.
Good acting and perfect edit.
The car in the tree is one of the coolest things I've seen
It's been there for years!
It's between where I live and the coast in Oregon!
@@BlackCat-aka-Jewels
Would you mind telling us the story about the car in the tree??????????
Cooling Tower 3 was once taken over by a Decepticon in Transformers 5: The Last Knight.
And Mark Whalberg saved the day in Cooling Tower 5 in Transformers 4: Age of Extinction.
6:13 that is a Tunnel boring machine
17:28 time to build another Frankenator. Having two spare rebuilt alternators on hand..
Another awesome video. Thanks Dustin. Welcome Home..
That’s cool info. Cheers amigo.
Oh yeah! I knew I forgot something! Lol..the motorcycle hauling butt as it blew up behind him.
They did a cool Nike commercial there too.
Thanks for the reminder.
Holy moly… I’m in Washington and driven by SATSOP many times on the way to the ocean. I always figured something was going on out there! Thanks for the close up! 🙏
It’s a fun spot to photograph as well. Even better at 2am with a tripod and a cable release or remote shutter control. :)

I could have gone without the alternator issues, but it comes with the job hahaha
Thanks for the car-in-the-tree shot! Drive by all the time and I always give it a wonder?
I want to find out more. That is a story I can definitely pursue next time I’m at my Grandfathers :)

So nice and clear pictures.😃
what place, 😍 what job to build such a tower.
Incredible that you were able to get so close and access the property at that plant ... I'm so in awe of those structures & the eerie feeling of apocalypse it creates inside me.

Glad we found your channel! So fun!❤
Always a pleasure Dustin!
🇨🇦❤️🙏🏻
You were in Washington! Have always wanted to visit Satsup. From the freeway, they look so scary and ominous.
Oregon and Washington have had record breaking amounts of rain this Spring..everything is green.
You drone footage was fab!
Good eye, they’re so big you can see them from the freeway. Seeing it from below is wild though. From the highway I kinda thought they were beehive burners hahaha
Used to work as a security guard at Satsop Nuclear Project. This allowed me access to the entire site.
Looks awesome! Watching video now 😄
Wow! I live maybe 45 minutes from there in Raymond, Wa. ! been by that place many times!
"Thats it, outcha go!" Was such a good scene. I loved it so much
That drill bit is a tunnel boring machine. Good video
Dustin: Great choice nuc power plant, agreed there is just something apocalyptic about these places especially when they are unused or abandoned. The piece of equipment you spied near the end of plant tour is what we refer to as a TBM or Tunnel Boring Machine. It's definitely new suspect its being storing there cus there's lots of space. Once fully assembled they are as long as a hockey rink. They will use two of these to complete the tunnels for the subway extension project in Vancouver.
The Mexico/US tour was great showed me so many places I've never been to.Looking forward to more adventures at home.
Thanks so much for sharing.
I was always curious about the nuke plant abandoned on that side of the Oregon. Also that bridge, so much fun to see you take it in a motorhome.
You’re very welcome.
that parking lot is where we had to leave our cars parked for the tour, and it still had pained lines back then.
I realy enjoy your videos.Great views of parts of this Big wourld. Great views with the done. God Bless continue the great videos.
Great content 👌 👏 your really good with the video editing love it ..much love from muskegon michigan
I had the chance to visit and explore the site. Totally cool and somewhat eerie! 👍
My kids and I really enjoy your videos. Props for the Cory Asbury song at the end. :)
This video was awesome! I’m 19 and when I was 16 my two buddies and I took a road trip to Hartsville, Tennessee to the nuclear power plant next to the trousdale correctional facility. It was never completed as on March 22, 1983, they ran out of money about halfway through. It was quite the adventure until the place was surrounded by county sheriffs… Apparently we parked in a sketchy spot and they didn’t quite like it. Needless to say it was my very first abandoned exploration and it forever captivated my love for exploring! Keep up the awesome videos!!!
Oregon coast is so beautiful 🌞
Brilliant video Dustin.
Thanks for another great video Dustin. I drove that bridge out of Astoria many times when I stayed there during a big USA/Canada adventure in 2007. Love the Pacific north west, such a beautiful part of the world.
Perfect camera, drone, work ever. You definitely have the eye for it and the music was perfect. Awesome job 🤟😎
Thank you.
The site was abandoned for 15 years, 1984 to 1999. NASA is not a tenant of the park. The windows are blocked by the tenants that rent that space. The weird round thing, as you called it, was a top to the round containment building that sits behind it. The compass painted on top of the lid is said to be correct. Had you stopped for a visit during working hours some of the workers could have answered most of the questions you had. The large machine you saw, is a tunnel boring machine which is used for training by the Laborers Training Trust. The large tunnel you saw under the tower is used for tunnel training by emergency responders, who also use the towers for high-angle rescues. Military use the park for training as has DARPA. Very cool drone footage.
That lid is from the #5 containment vessel. The lid for #3 was destroyed when the Chicago Bridge and Crane bolted to the #3 vessel collapsed and destroyed a lot of the building in May of 1980. We as workers weren't supposed to talk about it. L&I never knew about it but then again the contractors were self insured.
Because of you, I now point with a stern face and voice and say "Don't get stolen." to my motorcycle, truck, and even my seat at any table. :)
Wow,you were only about ten miles from my place. We’d of cooked ya a good home cooked meal. We really enjoy your show. You’re a fantastic wrencher. Told my wife you learned a lot working with your dad around all that equipment. I’m a retired forester and worked all that ground around the nuke plant. Anyway, keep up the good work.

That stair set going up the cooling tour is just plan nutty! Just imagine
Great video always so interesting ❤️ 👍
You came through Sumas, Welcome back. Not sure you really want to be back. Weather has been crappy more or less since you left. How you liking our high gas prices! Can't wait for your next adventure.
Thank you. It’s nice to be back. I really do feel welcomed back with all of these comments from my Canadian amigos. Honestly, the gas prices suck here. Three countries in the past two months, and Canada is almost exactly the same as both USA and Mexico gas prices combined. I am so excited for the northern adventures, and I’m proud to be back in Canada, I just don’t understand the gas price. Anyways, that will be my only rant, lol sorry. Thank you for enjoying the show.
This is incredible.
Another great video. I lived in Grants Pass Oregon for several years and drove to Bandon on the coast many times. It’s a good thing you have mechanical skills.
Train was awesome. Good advice on the alternator. Safe journeys friend.
so sad to see it like that but so cool thanks for showing us
Welcome back to Canada Dustin! 😉❤️🇨🇦
That old house you came across was originally a coast guard station, not sure of the year.
Love your videos and your dental info.
This episode had a little bit of everything! Welcome home, D.
Great video! Thanks 😊
Pretty awesome video. Year old I know. Gotta be my favorite so far.
so the dome was originally to be used for radioactive waste and transportation of the waste basically it was gonna be drums of clothing or gloves or random things that become radioactive low level waste, it would not sit for long before being shipped to Hanford or another location for disposal. the whole site use to have razor wire fencing around the entire complex with two security gates that are no longer present. I was selected of a tour of 100 people mostly kids me and 4 others were given the chance to stand inside the not yet started reactor, though it was never started it was ready to go. we went through the containment doors when they were both still there lol
At TIme Index (TI) 5:00 minutes in, that some would have been the top to the reactor, which you show at TI 5:35. At TI 5:58 the round thing/ huge drill bit, is a somewhat small TBM, tunnel boring machine. Fortunately for you they never had any radioactive material at that site. I dig that old Chevy stuck in the tree.
I laughed when you said that the windows were tarped up because the first thing that came to mind was it's a Grow Show and then when I heard that power hum from the Transformers and I said the same thing it's gotta be a Grow Show lol
Thanks for another great video. Cheers
Oh wow how cool is it that the train came by as you were flying. So cool. Why did that guy park so close to the tracks??? WTH did he think would happen? Another amazing video sir!
He made a bad decision with that park. He’s very lucky he wasn’t even an inch closer. Damage looked very minor from the drone. Was crazy timing
Great, amazing, magnificent, superb, astonishing... The dictionary doesnt cover enough words for the videos you create! Keep on rocking in the free world!!!!! Greetings from Maldives
I have been to the Maldives once. Spent a little time in Malé. Beautiful country
Love all your videos. A few times your music hints at your faith. I'd love to know more about that. Live and love adventure!
I’m not religious
Very cool video of Satsop. I work in the nuclear industry and love seeing some of the never built places. I've been in Bellefonte NPP years ago which is a B&W design and Watts Bar 2 before it was finished (Westinghouse design). I think Satsop must have been a CE design.
A partially built Containment Building (with dome on ground), Auxiliary Building with Spent Fuel Pool (around the base of containment), and Emergency Diesel Building was interesting to see.
Ive lived in washington for 25 years and i never knew we had these in washington. Theyre freaking huge! I drove by them like 4 hours ago. And now i see a video of it on youtube.
Freaking coincidence. This is kinda weird
I live by there. I remember when it was being built. I drive up there every once in a while. They have a model of it in one of the buildings of what it would of looked like when finished. It had all the pipes and wiring. Really cool!
They demolished the cooling tower at Trojan in Oregon for whatever reason a few years ago. It wasn't hurting nothing and it kind of marked the halfway point between Portland and Astoria on Hwy 30.
