While at the Astoria welcome center we talked to the lady there and she suggested we take the ferry over to Washington, glad we did! We were in our 30ft ACE towing a car. Love your videos of Oregon, loved our trip there.
Great ride through the small towns, love them, and that's definitely the way to get to Walmart, lol. The bridge into Longview is beautiful in itself. Scenery everywhere. Between you and PNW Granny, I'm blessed to see the beautiful northwest, and catch some history too. Wow. Thanks again for this series. 😊👍👍
hi Russ, back in 2004, i was riding my Harley all over the pacific n/w & got lost { no cell phone or GPS} & i stumbled upon this ferry boat... if i remember correctly, the guy let me ride for a buck! what a bargain & a nice boat ride...
In your last video, I figured we'd get another ferry ride when you said you were going back to the Oregon side. Since there are no bridges on that part of the river. The ferry looks a lot nicer than that bridge. It's too bad it doesn't go all the way across, instead of just to the island.
He drove through Cathlamet and onto Puget Island. Then took the ferry across the Columbia River from Puget Island to Westport Oregon. Once there, he took Hwy 30 east to Rainier Oregon crossed the Columbia via the Lewis and Clark Bridge into Longview.
Ahhhh, back with my hot cuppa coffee and an episode of RVerTV with you.. WOW, I would not have wanted to cross that bridge!! I"ve never been on a ferry, looked like fun :)
Good morning Russ! What a fun drive to Walmart! The ferry ride was very cool but that old bridge under construction made me nervous! I always look forward to seeing where you are. Safe travels!
Hey Russ! Whew! I caught you! Wish my trek to Walmart was as picturesque. It's a pretty ugly one here. Beautiful state. My dogs and I will get there one day in the not too distant future! YAY! 😉🌻
I've watched your videos pretty close since we just finished our 7 week rv trip from Ga. to Oregon, Washington, Montana, ND then Minnesota home. Hey, we did the same ferry but from Oregon to Washington. A lady at the welcome center in Astoria said it would be neat to ferry over, she was right! We stayed at Cascade Locks KOA , boy, what an experience! Those train whistles drove my wife crazy at night, me, just the ambiance . Gotta catch up on your videos since we were gone for 7 weeks. BTW, love your videos, you show the scenery and don't focus on yourself like some do.
Russ G'morning........beautiful place your leaving........ don't worry the bridge well be as smooth as glass when they are done....... you sure you want ed to leave ........ well it's ok you know where it is.....hahaha the church was turn into what? I'm glad you looked at the map with all the ships. that is the cools thing going who knew there were so many......... looking forward the next days you have planned. Oh thanks for the Ferry ride..... fun.....
Russ... you're a lot braver than I am. It would have taken me a half hour of sitting on the shoulder starring at that bridge to get my nerve up. I'd rather take the ferry. Be sure and shoot lots of drone footage of the river. I've never seen it from that perspective. I'm old like you. And they didn't have drones when I was last out that way. Have fun always and safe travels. Randy in Des Moines. 👍🌎✌
You crossing over to Oregon on the ferry reminded me of when Governor McCall was in office he made a statement to the effect “come and visit Oregon but don’t stay”. I think he was referring to the California migration to Oregon. Someone came up with a Oregon passport that sold in the stores. You had to have one to visit Oregon especially if you were coming from California. I even think someone put a sign on their property near the border saying people from California had to have one. Never been on the ferry. Been on the bridge to Longview many times.

Chuck Thomas They don't even mention it on their website, but from one news article it appears that it's $20 for 22 - 29 feet, and then going up from there. That seems a bit high for a 12 minute ferry ride. That's probably why they don't publicise it.

What a way to go to Walmart! Beautiful fun ride.

This past August we stayed at the Cascade Locks KOA, boy, those train whistles drove my wife crazy! Loved our trip through Oregon.

The houses set very close to the rode/street as to today’s road construction standards. Enjoyed the fairy ride to Walmart.👣

That is a great drive been there before. Thanks for your great videos.
6x4= 24 bucks for that load. Hope the ferry is pretty fuel efficient.
Thanks Russ.

Nice ferry ride, not too crowded and short wait time. Welcome back to Washington. Hope Wal Mart doesn't bite the wallet too deep. Happy trails.
Yup they got 140” of rain last year. Thx for the video

i think over 50% of the people living in Oregon, came from CA. now, there all moving to Idaho.
terry wheatley : I read somewhere Boise, Idaho is having problems.

Too bad you couldn’t find a Walmart in Oregon. No sales tax.
cvross1 He could have gone about 20 miles south to St. Helens Oregon, to the Walmart there. It's a really nice town too.
I wanna go to Walmart too...lol!
what is the name of the rv park that you where leaving from
How do you seen Sasquatch up there
yes... was hiding out as a bartender
Bet you can't find Washington highway 404…
Never, ever will I go to a Wal-Mart.
How much for a 28 ft motorhome?
