This journey along the Oregon Coast and up into Washington State brings about great memories and shows the true beauty of this country. America, best seen on the road. Thanks! :)
We took part of this drive a few years ago (Eureka to Lincoln City) and it is beautiful. One of America's great scenic drives. Good job on the video, and I love all the data that you put on screen.
Love these real time videos instead of those fast forwarded ones...Thank you for uploading bro...🙂 Must be really hard to upload such a long video in full hd...👍
Thank you. I upload both due to many requests for both. I will be uploading real time of my newer road trips as soon as I finish my Tennessee-Virginia video next week.
Thank you unclecoolie, your video is top notch extremely professional. It's nice not hearing a gob of googly words and music that could spoil this wonderful road trip. Me and my husband took that trip only two weeks before only to long beach Washington. It's really great seeing and feeling it all again in a way that can be greatly appreciated. Happy travels...
Lovely coast. I've loved it ever since seeing two of my favorite movies from my youth: The Goonies and Kindergarten Cop. My regret is not having the time to spend sight-seeing more, especially in Astoria. I may have to come back to do that at some point.
It was a decent hotel. I think I paid about $100 for the night. There was a kitchenette in the room, but no lounge in the hotel that I could remember. But there are plenty of restaurants nearby. I was tired when I got there, so I just relaxed with some wine while I backed up my video from that day's drive.
Thanks for part 3 of your journey from San Diego northwards. I have watched all three parts until now and i see there is a fourth part. I have seen so much of America in your video's. Surely going to watch some more.
Yes, I know every bit of this drive. The next time you're in this area, head out to Cape Blanco. Besides being the westernmost point of Oregon, the view is absolutely amazing, definitely worth the detour. Near Florence, there are the Oregon Dunes which can get up to 50 feet high, and also Hecate Head Lighthouse to the north. Loved the scenes of Newport. This is my GF's favorite town along the OR Coast. Visit the fish market on Bay Blvd... lots of good local canned fish. Good places to eat and shop there. Also, visit the beach at the end of Olive Street. There are some good places to eat at Nye Beach where you can watch a beautiful sunset during dinner. The next time you're in Tillamook, visit the creamery. The ice cream is very satisfying. Also, head straight west from Tillamook to visit Oceanside and Cape Mears. Visit Manzanita Bay... a beautiful coastal town. And, of course, visit Cannon Beach. Seaside is the official end of the Lewis and Clark Trail. The Columbia River is the lifeblood of the NW. All of the water that you saw crossing the river at Astoria came from all of the creeks, streams, and rivers all throughout Western MT, NW Wyoming, Idaho, SE BC, Oregon, and Eastern WA. If you wondered, the Columbia River comes from Columbia Lake up in the Columbia Valley in BC between Banff NP and the Purcells. The Kootenay River feeds the lake from the south via the Canal Flats. The Kootenay starts up in the west side of the Rockies in Kootenay NP. The Kootenay goes down into NW MT and then back up to BC via the ID Panhandle and empties into the Columbia up at Castlegar, BC.
@@unclecoolie This will give you a reason to come back for another visit. The Olympic Peninsula has a lot of amazing places to visit as well, not just Olympic National Park but the whole peninsula. Idaho also has a lot of spectacular places to visit beyond Sun Valley, places only the locals go to but are scenic minus the people. Visit Stanley and the Sawtooth Mountains. They're as spectacular as what you'd find in national parks but without all of the people. The Franck Church River of No Return Wilderness area is a little visited but very rugged, scenic part of ID. Back in the 1930s, they called this The Primitive Area and for good reason. Northern ID has a lot of scenic river valleys, mountain ranges and lakes that only the locals go to. If you like scenic rolling farmland with an unusual geologic morphology, visit the Palouse region near Moscow and Lewiston ID and the SE part of WA centering on Colfax. This area is covered with loess (wind-blown silt) and is the result of the Great Flood caused when the ice dam holding Glacial Lake Missoula gave way, causing the entire lake to empty out all over Eastern WA in a massive rushing flood, creating the Palouse and also the Scablands. This was the closest thing to the Great Flood described in the Bible, but this really happened. The Bitterroot mountains running along the ID/MT border are large, snow-capped, spectacular mountains and much less visited than places like Rocky Mountain NP. The Cabinet Mountains in NW MT are also rugged, snow-covered mountains visited only by the people who live in that part of MT. When in Wyoming, visit the Grand Tetons and also the Wind River Range. During the 2017 solar eclipse, some people climbed to the top of Grand Teton and videoed the eclipse.
Tillamook, Newport, and Seaside are my favorite cities in Oregon. Tillamook for the ice cream and air museum, Newport for its Historic Bayfront and fishing/crabbing pier under the bridge, and Seaside for its numerous outlet stores.
I love these videos. And it’s also a safe idea to do this because you are recording your drive time in case God forbid you or someone gets in an accident you can have proof.
You were in Goonies and Stand By Me territory and there was a community somewhere along the Oregon Coast called Seaside. Don't know if it still exists or not, but I remember when I did a trip down the coast and we ended up staying in Ilwaco Washington, which is right on the Pacific ocean in one of the farthest points northwest you can go in the country and one of the most rough in terms of getting the full force of the winter storms which shear the trees apart.
@@unclecoolie I never knew totem poles were so important until I went to BC and saw all the towns having at least one of them and BC used to be a place I wanted to live.
I didn't know this started at San Diego, but when I finish this one, I'll try to find that section. I loved Aptos to Crescent City. Watched it in sections over a couple weeks. It made me want to drive the same stretch, or maybe feel like now I don't have to. Thanks.
Great job! Could you make a video of real time road trip San Diego, CA to Salt Lake City UT (via I-8 E). Nice if your camera support 60fps. Anyway thanks. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you, too. Unfortunately, I don't have any more western road trips planned in the immediate future. I still have to finish editing the video from my trips after this one, starting with the next major road trip video that I plan to upload: my east coast road trip down to Key West.
@@unclecoolie thanks for quick reply. Also one more request if possible. Relax POV video slowly driving on Daytona Beach. Love that place and how wide and long is it. About Key West is a great idea. Wish wife support me with this hobby and I be able to drive alone as long as I can. Great time also for meditation. Do you have a job, part time? Also wife and kids? What their thoughts
I work full time, as an IT/security consultant. I'd always wanted to do long road trips, and I managed to convince my wire that it was okay that I take these road trips.
Another great trip! I really enjoyed the drive. The yellow shrubs along the highway in Oregon and Washington State are beautiful! Did you get the name of them? Thanks! I think I’ve seen all of your real time videos. There are many worth watching again! The Oregon coast is so beautiful. I’m sure on a clear day the sunset is awesome!
Guessing you got a notification that traffic on I-5 was bad from Seattle up through Lynnwood or the I-90 Interchange was closed? Felt terrible that you went down Airport Road to loop back around. That sucked - especially after being on the road for so long!! Was kinda bummed you had to miss out on I-5. Lastly, at 11:28:19 I thought you'd take "my" exit for a split second to take a break/eat/whatever. Then I was sad. :( LOL. Living vicariously through you, dude. Cheers.
Ok this is insane. I stayed in that EXACT place with the white fence in crescent city on my drive home TO Bellingham Washington which took me THROUGH Everett. Even took almost the EXACT same route but over two days. Wild
Hi there just wanted to tell you I'm a new subscriber of yours. Really love all your videos, they're all so cool cause you feel like you're there but also very relaxing. Keep up the amazing content.
Cut north through Shelton and Bremerton then take a ferry at Kingston. Much more interesting drive than going through Tacoma with less traffic. Not any faster but much more relaxing.
I had planned multiple different routes once I got past Astoria, but I eventually settled on this one because I wanted to go to Vancouver before driving back to Sea-Tac to fly back home.
Lincoln county does have the great view as an Oregonian P.S That Closed Diner you see at 4:29:51 has been demolished and is now a church as of 2020-2021 (Good times)
@@unclecoolie yeah, It also used to be a flea shop as well, it was once called Flashbacks of South Beach, Not to be confused by the current Flashbacks of Newport, OR. You should check out Nye Beach, one of our most popular beaches
Came across your videos last week. Love them. What kind of car do you drive and how many miles do you have now? We did a road trip thru Scandinavia 2 years ago and recorded 95% of it. I'm still trying to finish the video, but you've inspired me. Thanx!
Thanks. I usually use rental cars for these road trips, especially since I live in the Washington, DC area. I drove a Nissan Murano for this trip. Go ahead and finish your road trip video. I'd like to see it.
@@Nordwestkreuzer I know that all too well. I'm currently editing video that will be well over 10-hours long that I hope to have uploaded by the end of this month: my grand road trip from Newfoundland to Florida.
Unclecoolie Productions Newfoundland to Miami, FL or all the way down to Key West, FL?? Can’t wait to see it! Currently watching the third video of the San Diego to Vancouver trip! As a disabled college student I cannot drive due to my visual impairment so being able to see parts of the country from the drivers perspective is incredible. I wouldn’t be able to unless someone drives me! What you do means a lot, gratitude and keep it up!
Amazing video again, I saw your DC to seattle roadtrip video, Colorado looks beautiful. Which camera are you using? how did you get the map and elevation details on the screen? I really liked it, appreciate if you let me know.
Thank you. I used the Garmin Virb Ultra 30, which records GPS information, and then I use Final Cut Pro for the editing, including adding the text and graphics.
Great video as always bro!! One quote though: I never knew that hotels can be checked out at 5am in the morning. I got two questions: Why do I always hear crunching in the background and how does it feel to be travelling alone??
Thanks! Yes, you can check out anytime you like, because you have to give them your credit card before you can check in, anyway - even if you've prepaid the room. That noise is most certainly my reaching into bags of snacks for a bite to eat. 😃 For long road trips like this, it's easier to drive alone. I love my family, but they don't appreciate being in the car for too long, especially my wife. This way, I can drive at my own schedule.
please do a trip from Richland, WA to Dayton, OH. U.S. 395 to meetup with I-90. I-90 from there, to the meetup with I-35 in Minnesota. (Covers Spokane, WA, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, & Minnesota). I-35 to Des Moines, Iowa. I-80 to The Quad Cities (Davenport, Moline, Bettendorf, & Rock Island).

@@unclecoolie the reason why I put Tremont on the route is because I live in the Tremont area. I live in the hickory hills subdivision, south of Townline road.
Is an upgrade to a 4K camera in the near future? 1080p just isn’t good enough anymore. Hope I don’t sound like I’m whining, I’m a big fan of your vids and will watch anyways.
Actually, my camera does UHD, but it's too much to try to record a 12-hour video in UHD. Don't forget, these trips are over several days, so I would need several terabytes' worth of memory to do it, and it would be too much to try to upload to UA-cam. I will record short road trips in UHD, however.
For this trip, I liked Oregon a little bit better, mainly driving up the coast and recognizing spots that could've been scenes from the movie, The Goonies, as well as driving through Astoria itself. For the Washington to Seattle trip, I liked Washington state more than Oregon, especially driving through Snoqualmie Pass.
@@unclecoolie Too bad you didn't have time to stop at either the Tillamock Dairy Factory or Cannon Beach in OR, I went to both those places on my Oregon/Washington trip in Sept, both are awesome, Tillamock factory had good cheese and ice cream made all natural from local farms. Cannon had Haystack Rock and a nice coastal town.
I love doing these road trips, but the biggest flaw is that I have very limited time to do them, so I've been maximizing the time versus exploring. If I had more time, I'd definitely do more exploring. Even when I did my drive from Omaha to Santa Monica and back to Omaha last year - 4,400 miles over six days - I visited a dozen national parks, but I still didn't get to explore as much as I'd wanted. If for some reason I get copious amounts of free time, I will do more in-depth drives. As it is I'm planning such drives near my home, which is in Fairfax County, VA.
I was back in the day. I still am, although I don't record as many flights as I used to. I've only uploaded two flights in the past year: Dulles to O'Hare, and O'Hare to Omaha.
Beautiful drive 😀😀😀 My longtime dream had always been, fly to NY, rent a car for maybe 2 weeks or more, drive to LA ( California), then back again but through Texas, Mississippi, Alabama along the gulf of Mexico and then Atlantic coast all way up to NY. Wonder how much it would cost and how long it will take 🤔. I come from Sweden ( Northern Europe) so haven't have the chance yet sorry to say. I have only ride buss from Everglades to Orlando once 😀, but i would love to see the old states of US and eat that southern food 😀. Take care now sir bye bye 🙏 🙂
Thank you! That had always been my dream drive, and I was finally able to do it last week, at least the NY to CA drive. I will be uploading that video in the near future.
@@jimmykarlsson2567 I will have the time lapse version uploaded in the next few weeks, then I'll upload the rest of TX-VA and NY-CA in real time after that.
If you tap on the video, 3 dots in the top right corner of the video screen will show up, click on the 3 dots, and a menu will pop up, click on the words “playback speed”, and you can make the speed of the video game at most 2x faster or 2x slower
@@thomasturner6980 I'm sorry I misunderstood what you were asking. I don't put the speed on there only because I sometimes exceed the speed limits, and I don't want to give some gung ho law enforcement any reason to try to come after me, lol.
Hi U.C. at first, after Crescent City, CA, 10:50 - 11:05 on left you had driving past the Pelican Bay state prison, one of the biggest in CA. more than 3000 prisoners. bye for now, R.
Yes, both. In fact my next big road trip video will be through North Carolina as I went down the east coast to Key West. i will have the video of that trip uploaded sometime in January.
My trip to Key West. I'm having some issues with the GPS information, so it's probable that I won't be able to show all of the GPS information with that trip, but I should be able to show most of it.

I wouldn’t be able to unless someone drives me! What you do means a lot, gratitude and keep it up!
Amazing video again, I saw your DC to seattle roadtrip video, Colorado looks beautiful.
Which camera are you using? how did you get the map and elevation details on the screen? I really liked it, appreciate if you let me know.
Thank you. I used the Garmin Virb Ultra 30, which records GPS information, and then I use Final Cut Pro for the editing, including adding the text and graphics.
Have you ever considered doing a big car ride through Europe like for example a Lisbon to Moscow road trip?
Yes, although I don't know when I can do it.
Real time drives are much better than those sped up videos
Many times you have entered Seattle and returned your car to SeaTac Airport, now you enter Seattle from opposite direction 10:42:12
Yes, in a span of two weeks, I drove to Seattle twice.
Hope u make more videos
Thanks! I just finished a road trip that I've always wanted to do! I will upload the real time versions of my TX-VA first, though.
I.m watching the Seattle to Billings Montana one now i just love it it feels like i.m really there love it .
Great video as always bro!! One quote though: I never knew that hotels can be checked out at 5am in the morning. I got two questions: Why do I always hear crunching in the background and how does it feel to be travelling alone??
Thanks! Yes, you can check out anytime you like, because you have to give them your credit card before you can check in, anyway - even if you've prepaid the room. That noise is most certainly my reaching into bags of snacks for a bite to eat. 😃 For long road trips like this, it's easier to drive alone. I love my family, but they don't appreciate being in the car for too long, especially my wife. This way, I can drive at my own schedule.
@@unclecoolie have Strawberry Twizzlers - WILL TRAVEL 😎
Which coastline do you think is more spectacular, California's or Oregon's?
That's hard to say. They are both great in their own way.
Oregon's is so long
I wish you could do another video in states like Wyoming, idaho, colorado. Thanks
I would love to do that trip again, using the Garmin Virb Ultra 30, or even a 360 camera.

I am hoping to do a big road trip this year, but I don't think I'll make it back up to Washington though.
@@unclecoolie okay. maybe you can do the trip from richland to dayton next year?
@@bardthenascarfanaticdragon I'll have to see. I only get a few days a year to do these trips. I have a full time job and a young family at home.
@@unclecoolie the reason why I put Tremont on the route is because I live in the Tremont area. I live in the hickory hills subdivision, south of Townline road.
Is an upgrade to a 4K camera in the near future? 1080p just isn’t good enough anymore. Hope I don’t sound like I’m whining, I’m a big fan of your vids and will watch anyways.
Actually, my camera does UHD, but it's too much to try to record a 12-hour video in UHD. Don't forget, these trips are over several days, so I would need several terabytes' worth of memory to do it, and it would be too much to try to upload to UA-cam. I will record short road trips in UHD, however.
I have some videos recorded in UHD that are uploaded, such as my park videos, and my train ride video in Kenya.
Do a trip from Seattle to Alaska.
I want to do a trip from Vancouver to Alaska in the next year or so.

Nice
Thanks!
Which Pacific Northwest State did you like driving through more between Oregon and Washington?
For this trip, I liked Oregon a little bit better, mainly driving up the coast and recognizing spots that could've been scenes from the movie, The Goonies, as well as driving through Astoria itself. For the Washington to Seattle trip, I liked Washington state more than Oregon, especially driving through Snoqualmie Pass.
@@unclecoolie Too bad you didn't have time to stop at either the Tillamock Dairy Factory or Cannon Beach in OR, I went to both those places on my Oregon/Washington trip in Sept, both are awesome, Tillamock factory had good cheese and ice cream made all natural from local farms. Cannon had Haystack Rock and a nice coastal town.
I love doing these road trips, but the biggest flaw is that I have very limited time to do them, so I've been maximizing the time versus exploring. If I had more time, I'd definitely do more exploring. Even when I did my drive from Omaha to Santa Monica and back to Omaha last year - 4,400 miles over six days - I visited a dozen national parks, but I still didn't get to explore as much as I'd wanted. If for some reason I get copious amounts of free time, I will do more in-depth drives. As it is I'm planning such drives near my home, which is in Fairfax County, VA.
I like the part where he's driving
giorgos gkiolas LOL
I recently found out that you used to be an airplane fanatic :P
I was back in the day. I still am, although I don't record as many flights as I used to. I've only uploaded two flights in the past year: Dulles to O'Hare, and O'Hare to Omaha.
12h de route c est comme un Nantes nice Par autoroute
Yeah homie!
😃
@@unclecoolie Seattle to miami only once!
@@Foxyfaide My next road trip video will be through Miami to Key West, but it won't be from Seattle, sorry.
@@unclecoolie PERFECTO SEÑOR!!
Beautiful drive 😀😀😀
My longtime dream had always been, fly to NY, rent a car for maybe 2 weeks or more, drive to LA ( California), then back again but through Texas, Mississippi, Alabama along the gulf of Mexico and then Atlantic coast all way up to NY.
Wonder how much it would cost and how long it will take 🤔.
I come from Sweden ( Northern Europe) so haven't have the chance yet sorry to say. I have only ride buss from Everglades to Orlando once 😀, but i would love to see the old states of US and eat that southern food 😀.
Take care now sir bye bye 🙏 🙂
Thank you! That had always been my dream drive, and I was finally able to do it last week, at least the NY to CA drive. I will be uploading that video in the near future.
@@unclecoolie would love to see that sir 😀😀😀
@@jimmykarlsson2567 I will have the time lapse version uploaded in the next few weeks, then I'll upload the rest of TX-VA and NY-CA in real time after that.
@@unclecoolie sounds wonderful 😀 looking forward to it 😀
what car in this one ☝️ great vid
Thank you. I did this drive in a 2018 Nissan Murano.
Unclecoolie Productions brilliant
@@willpark7483 Thanks!
You stayed at our hotel that is so cool
Which one was that?
I see now from your other comment. 😊
Weird watching this because I've driven down this highway so many times
This was fun to drive.
Hey Unclecoolie, can u please put speed in your future videos, thanks
I've been uploading my trips in both time-lapse and real-time.
If you tap on the video, 3 dots in the top right corner of the video screen will show up, click on the 3 dots, and a menu will pop up, click on the words “playback speed”, and you can make the speed of the video game at most 2x faster or 2x slower
@@unclecoolie, no I mean to put how fast u were going (mph) in the video
@@thomasturner6980 I'm sorry I misunderstood what you were asking. I don't put the speed on there only because I sometimes exceed the speed limits, and I don't want to give some gung ho law enforcement any reason to try to come after me, lol.
@@unclecoolie, what happens if they read that comment?
What camera do you use please?
The Garmin Virb Ultra 30.
Yours trips, are for business? Happy New year!
Sometimes, but this one was purely for pleasure. Happy New Year to you, too.
1...you eatin chips? 2...listen to some music. 3...I love this drive, Ive done it myself....well sortof.
I was eating snacks. And I was listening to music through ear phones to avoid having any copyright issues with the audio.
That makes sence i guess lol. Haha. Smart thinkin...damn Copyright laws
@@IP.NWAdventuresOutdoors Yeah. I got dinged by it more than two years ago on a video that I had uploaded but have since removed.
what type of dash cam are you using?
The Garmin Virb Ultra 30.
and where there will be a start of a trip to Key West,?
Washington, DC. Then I'll work on one of my other trips, which will be into Canada near Montreal.
@@unclecoolie thanks to you I though can see as looks the USA to Montreal from Washington too?
@@ЯнЯнчилик Yes, I did that trip from Washington, DC, too.
Hi U.C.
at first, after Crescent City, CA, 10:50 - 11:05 on left you had driving past the Pelican Bay state prison, one of the biggest in CA. more than 3000 prisoners. bye for now, R.
I didn't even know that. I remember passing San Quentin Prison, which is just north of San Francisco.
@@unclecoolie thanks 4 answ. bye R.
@@bobby68ify Take care.
I went to the school a quarter of a mile from that prison
It is actually a major employer in our county
@@wyattrox03 I can imagine.
do you guys think it would be safe with bike?
Some of those turns are pretty sharp with little visibility.
do San Diego to chicago
I would like to do a trip to Chicago this summer, but it will likely be from the DC area as that's where I live.
I used to live outside of Chicago. I always love to go back to that area.@@unclecoolie
West Coast best place in the world.
6:28:11 very interesting
The steam locomotive.
5:08:30 my memo
You ever been to Arkansas or North Carolina?
Yes, both. In fact my next big road trip video will be through North Carolina as I went down the east coast to Key West. i will have the video of that trip uploaded sometime in January.
how many GB have you memory card???
256.
SUPER 3
What is your next road trip?
My trip to Key West. I'm having some issues with the GPS information, so it's probable that I won't be able to show all of the GPS information with that trip, but I should be able to show most of it.
@@unclecoolie your driving all the most beautiful places and scenic routes are worth more than technical issues. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
@@josephsolomon2216 Thank you.
What car do you drive?
In this video, I drove a Nissan Murano, which was a rental.
@@unclecoolie Ah okay, thank you! I was just wondering out of curiosity. Great driving, thanks for uploading!
@@fpoa My pleasure. I have many more to come.
What is your car?
A Nissan Murano, which was a rental.
You should drive to Canada
I drove to Vancouver in the next day's video. I have a lot more drives in Canada coming up.
