Completely agree that the Yachats/Waldport area is one of the best on the Oregon coast. A lot of great trails and viewpoints especially around Yachats.
Any meetups planned? I cannot tell you how much gratitude I have for you and your channel. You take us places we can never go and you are like a friend to all of us even though we've never met you. What a nice guy you are. Safe travels my UA-cam friend. Ever get to Missouri? 😊
Should have mentioned this earlier. I have stopped at The Devil's Churn south of Yachats, Oregon twice. One of my favorite places along the Oregon coast. I enjoy the videos, keep them up and stay safe Russ.
Beautiful 🤩 video Russ. Love this 101 journey. Your stopping points are lovely, the road shots and drone work are fabulous! GREAT 👍 JOB, Russ of 🚐 RVerTV 📺!
Love waldport my wife and I spent over a year and a half at the koa in our 30 ft beaver monterey while house searching. Waldport is a fantastic lil town.
The beauty of that coastal view is just amazing. A lighthouse will use a Fresnel lens, thin, light weight and more efficient. We learned about them in physics class. You're right, your horn is kind of Meep Meep. You are a road runner. 😁
During all of the road trips you have undertaken with us, I cannot recall a time when you took us fishing for dinner. Perhaps this series could be considered as such? 😃👍
Heceta is one of the iconic lighthouses on the Pacific. Great seafood restaurant in Yachats and Seal Rock called the Luna Sea. Thanks for doing this trip Russ.
Thanks for the tour, Russ. He gets to the lighthouse, and it feels good to get out of that van. He climbs the hill 🤕comes down and gets back into the van, and it feels good to be back in the van 🤣
hhahaha heyyyyyy im glad to see u doing videos still.. i think i started watching u a few years ago, I live in oregon, they have such great beach towns and coast line
That was a good trip up to the lighthouse! Thank you Russ for making that uphill trek to show it to us! Hope it wasn’t to.hard on you! Have good stay at the KOAand thanks for the lovely drone footage!❤️😀🇺🇸🌏🚙
I had occasion to drive through that area once back when I was an OTR driver. Generally speaking when you're in that line of work that's not a good road to take, but siskiyou summit was snowed in so it was either wait for who knows how long or take the coastal route. So I took the coastal route around siskiyou summit and I believe I cut back over to I-5 around Reedsport. I was actually headed from Southern California up to Wenatchee Washington. I really enjoyed driving through that section of US 101. I would recommend it to anybody, although don't go through there if you're in a hurry.
Hey Russ From your KOA look at the bridge and there are a couple of houses on hillside in distance above firehouse-- 😮 one of those is my place-- we are close Waldport = mild weather no days in 90s no snow or freezing days over 40 species of birds hear the Osprey daily -- Enjoy the day you're probably up the coast now so have a good one!
Great video ! I exited Sacramento, Ca 4 years ago. Florence is Oregon's Coastal Playground!. Hectea Beach is a 10 minute drive. The amazing beaches, enchanted forests, rivers/lakes. They estimate over 10 million yearly tourists in Florence. Amazing how a small town like Florence accommodates millions of people every year. I found peace of mind here and will live the final chapter of life happy and content. You must adapt, welcome the high winds, sand, rain...lots of rain. Months of rain. I find peace in the rain so I'm good here. We love Florence
I'm glad the weather is cooperating with you. My Grand niece and some of her high school friends went up to that area for a few days during the summer a few years back and it just happened to be while that area was getting hit with a really nasty heatwave.
Elks lodge has a huge rv park on the right side of the road in Florence! Love that place, many times we visited! We’ve been all the way north on 101 all the way into Washington! Have you traveled on Hiway 1? Been down that way too! But it’s been many years since we did that. Been to sea caves too! Would like to purchase property in Gold Beach. Been to Heceta lighthouse, Honeyman state park, rode sand buggy’s on the dunes! We’ve done it all, Russ!
The heceta head lighthouse was the first lighthouse we visited in our toyota rv when the kids were toddlers. They're grown now and have no interest in trips like that anymore. They have bigger plans - can't blame them. This sure takes me back though. If you're traveling with your little ones, don't count on photos alone. Take a mental picture and put it in your pocket. It all happens so fast. Cheers and thanks. 👍
We live in Florence and enjoyed your video and have never been able to walk up to the top. My son lives in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Have you ever done a video of that cute little city? Keep up the good work!
Yes ! I've lived in Florence for 4 years now. Last year 2023 we had 3" It only lasts a day or so but it was amazing to see snow on the beach and sand dunes ! 2022 same.
GOD BLESS , UNITED STATES AMERICA , RUSS , RVerTV FANS. RUSS - TOO COOL 4 SCHOOL. CAN RUSS VISIT CANADA IN 2025 - CANADIANS NEED RVerTV Eh. HAPPY TRAILS - U.S.A. - RUSS - RVerTV FANS . Thank you Russ.🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
enjoy your travels and the information about the places you have visited. Although some of your commentary may be a bit redundant... your chuckle a bit annoying too at times.... all in all a super show 😊
Completely agree that the Yachats/Waldport area is one of the best on the Oregon coast. A lot of great trails and viewpoints especially around Yachats.
I used to live in Florence. It was nice to see it again! Love the work you do Russ! It’s a great channel for Antone that can’t travel!
Any meetups planned? I cannot tell you how much gratitude I have for you and your channel. You take us places we can never go and you are like a friend to all of us even though we've never met you. What a nice guy you are. Safe travels my UA-cam friend. Ever get to Missouri? 😊
Yes I agree. A little meetup would be lovely. I live in central Oklahoma, along ROUTE 66 - not too far from where Russ’s daughter lives.
😎
We flew up to Portland and rented a car in 2012 and made this drive to Florence...Its just Beautiful country side. Great video!
Should have mentioned this earlier. I have stopped at The Devil's Churn south of Yachats, Oregon twice. One of my favorite places along the Oregon coast. I enjoy the videos, keep them up and stay safe Russ.
I really enjoy watching your UA-cam Channel, Russ! 👍👍👍👍👍 I wish you safe travels. Talk soon, Alan.
Beautiful 🤩 video Russ. Love this 101 journey. Your stopping points are lovely, the road shots and drone work are fabulous! GREAT 👍 JOB, Russ of 🚐 RVerTV 📺!
Love waldport my wife and I spent over a year and a half at the koa in our 30 ft beaver monterey while house searching. Waldport is a fantastic lil town.
Thank you for scaling the long hill to view the lighthouse. I just love lighthouses for some reason. Maybe bc it's a 'safe' symbol.
Some of this drive is scary but all of it is beautiful!
Thanks Russ , this was an awesome trek on the 101 . That. Was a long walk up to the lighthouse. I agree one of the prettiest trips so far .
🤠 Hey Russ! Wow, what a gorgeous place everything is so picturesque ❤ Thank you for a amazing video 👍
The beauty of that coastal view is just amazing. A lighthouse will use a Fresnel lens, thin, light weight and more efficient. We learned about them in physics class. You're right, your horn is kind of Meep Meep. You are a road runner. 😁
I've always enjoed watching your summer travels. Great route this year sir. Thank you safe travels.
LOVE,the winding roads. Thanks for taking us along again today, RVerTV, Russ. 👍
More to come!
Wow, dig your vibe/content🥰
Russ really does have a great 👍 vibe, doesn’t he? He keeps it light, positive and warm. Those are “Good Vibrations” for sure.
Always a joy to watch your Channel ❤🎉❤ 😊 Thank you for all you do 🎉🤩
Thank you so much!
During all of the road trips you have undertaken with us, I cannot recall a time when you took us fishing for dinner. Perhaps this series could be considered as such? 😃👍
Great video Russ, this area is one of our favorite places in the west. Enjoy your travels
Thanks 👍
The beautiful Pacific Coast… thanks😎
Heceta is one of the iconic lighthouses on the Pacific. Great seafood restaurant in Yachats and Seal Rock called the Luna Sea. Thanks for doing this trip Russ.
So cool!
Thanks for the tour, Russ. He gets to the lighthouse, and it feels good to get out of that van. He climbs the hill 🤕comes down and gets back into the van, and it feels good to be back in the van 🤣
WOW I love the ocean and the trees 😊..The light house looks amazing... great video Russ 😊

We had a great time on the Oregon Coast hoping to get back up that way one day
You’re obsessed with lighthouses!

Hey Rusty! I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Gorgeous video, Russ. That lighthouse is amazing and in really good condition considering it's 130 years old.
It sure is
It's the cleanest state you will ever find!
Enjoyed it. Thanks for showing us the coast and lighthouses 🎉🎉
More to come!
Great video. Thanks for the road trip.
I had never looked carefully at the spelling of the lighthouse. I've been pronouncing it wrong for a long time.
I had occasion to drive through that area once back when I was an OTR driver. Generally speaking when you're in that line of work that's not a good road to take, but siskiyou summit was snowed in so it was either wait for who knows how long or take the coastal route.

Beautiful View!! Thanks for sharing 👍 .
thanks for walking up that hill to the lighthouse. a lot of us appreciate your effort. I was huffing and puffing just watching.
Yes 👍 indeed, we live vicariously through RVerTV adventures and we were all slowly walking 🚶♀️ onward and ⬆️ Upward toward the lighthouse.
Got you Back on You tube on The Tv yeah Russ! Good to be back with you terrible Accident. Down Rd hit My Provider Telepole Navy John in Maine
❤ too cool for school thanks Russ it's awesome
I love the camera views driving over bridges and in tunnels. Thanks for letting us live vicariously through your trips!
Love the Oregon coast. I've been up and down over a dozen times❤
Hey Russ
From your KOA look at the bridge and there are a couple of houses on hillside in distance above firehouse-- 😮 one of those is my place-- we are close
Waldport = mild weather no days in 90s no snow or freezing days over 40 species of birds hear the Osprey daily --
Enjoy the day you're probably up the coast now so have a good one!
You are amazing Russ! You mean so much to us!
ENJOY YOUR RIDING AND WALKING...THANKS RUSS 😊

WOW Russ just WOW! Absolutely GORGEOUS LOVED this video❤❤❤
Waldport drone video was just plain Spectacular.
Sister was born in Coos Bay, but we lived in Reedsport.
Love it so beautiful area great videos
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm glad the weather is cooperating with you. My Grand niece and some of her high school friends went up to that area for a few days during the summer a few years back and it just happened to be while that area was getting hit with a really nasty heatwave.
Very, very rare and only lasts couple days.
Elks lodge has a huge rv park on the right side of the road in Florence! Love that place, many times we visited! We’ve been all the way north on 101 all the way into Washington! Have you traveled on Hiway 1? Been down that way too! But it’s been many years since we did that. Been to sea caves too! Would like to purchase property in Gold Beach. Been to Heceta lighthouse, Honeyman state park, rode sand buggy’s on the dunes! We’ve done it all, Russ!
Injoy the music
THANKS!
You're welcome!
Oregon is very beautiful
The heceta head lighthouse was the first lighthouse we visited in our toyota rv when the kids were toddlers. They're grown now and have no interest in trips like that anymore. They have bigger plans - can't blame them. This sure takes me back though. If you're traveling with your little ones, don't count on photos alone. Take a mental picture and put it in your pocket.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you going to see the big hangar in Tillamook this trip?
Russ, those flowers you like are called "Red Hot Pokers" and the name fits, doesn't it? Kniphofia x Praecox. They like wet areas.
It’s called Yachats!
Heyyy since u are back in the oregon area, idk what your plans are, but u should do the wildlife safari drive thru zoo in winston oregon, its off I5
I've always wanted to go. This might be the closest I'll ever get. 😁 AMAZING.
We are looking to drive the 101, is there any benefit of driving it south (Seattle to San Fran) or north (San Fran to Seattle). 🚗
We live in Florence and enjoyed your video and have never been able to walk up to the top. My son lives in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Have you ever done a video of that cute little city? Keep up the good work!
Unless there’s a good supply of wolf flower honey.. wintertime out there …
They do get snow in the winter about 1".
Yes ! I've lived in Florence for 4 years now. Last year 2023 we had 3" It only lasts a day or so but it was amazing to see snow on the beach and sand dunes ! 2022 same.
Is it really humid on that coast??
Closer you get to Portland busier it gets.
Do they still pump your gas at gas stations? Love that I don’t have to get out!
New law passed 2024 It is no longer mandatory. Most fuel stations have 2 lanes of self serve and 2 attendant pumps for you now.
❤❤
Any plan to upload the rest of the Oregon Trip up to Columbia Gorge?
lol at roadrunner horn
Price for K0a.?
You should have taken the e-bike up the hill.
hoW FAR to Portland. EUGENE ETC
Love your channel…. But asking the locals - isn’t it pronounced “Heck -uh-ta”?
Is there a fee for the coast and light house?
RUSS, FREEZE AT 23:05AND LOOK AT THAT GORGEOUS PHOTO!
Air BNB huh, you'll be better off in your van if you like privacy.
👍
