Yeah I was really hoping that we found it. I'll need to go back and poke around. Apparently there is some artifacts from the old logging camp kicking around back there somewhere.
Yeah its impressive how clean it is, it's good to see people can have fun and be respectful of the area. Neat place , hopefully be around for years to come.
Beautiful trails man. That fir is massive!Reminds me of Washington state, too bad we have moved south. Looking forward to your pan American adventure. Take care guys 🤙🏼
When you cross the suspension bridge you head off to the left and there's some rubble left over... Not much when I was there a few years back but still worth a look. I have camped at that spot a number of times. Speaking of camping, last I heard San Juan River campground is now closed for camping indefinitely. Did they reopen it?
The campground looked clear didn't realize it was closed down. Yeah there was some deep snow on the ground over the bridge, couldn't see anything. I'll need to go back and see once all the snows gone.
So for us we are over hight, yes. It costs a little more but we are almost always able to get on the ferry. Cellphone reception is good from Sooke to Port Renfrew however from Port Renfrew to Cowichan Lake there is none. Would recommend a 4x4 or SUV if you intend on visiting the red creek fir, or if you decide to visit any of the old growth groves and big lonely Doug. (We made a video on lonely Doug) carry a spare tire! There is active logging during the week so be mindful driving logging roads. Also go slow (potholes are big out there) there is a book on this route that outlines stops and points of interest (pacific marine circle route I believe) Lots of places to camp along the river out that way too you should have no problems finding somewhere private with no one around. Maybe one day I will throw together a book with all the interesting places we go and make it available for download. Hope you have a great adventure out there. You can also look up our " Outlast Overland" Facebook group and I would be happy to point you in the right direction there as well!
Not to be a dick but these national geographic /expedition overland style videos are depressing. The aussies have the formula down, upbeat and fun videos that make you want to go on a trip with them.
I agree, 4wD247 is a great show! they also have a production budget and a camera crew. The reason for the style of shooting in the videos is simply due to being a one person crew/editor/producer/audio guy/full time job.... it takes a lot of work to make a video, and costs money to do so as well. But I do agree the Aussies do have it down and I enjoy their content also!.
I recently found that bridge myself, been meaning to go back and check it out more
@@christopherfaith yeah there are a few out there
Super-cool, especially the bridge!

Yeah man it's a neat place.
Nice, you found the "Party Pit" . Nice little secluded venue.
Yeah its impressive how clean it is, it's good to see people can have fun and be respectful of the area. Neat place , hopefully be around for years to come.
Wow what an adventure looks like you guys had fun! What a pretty country!
It really is!
the sceneries look beautiful, all those forests look lovely. good job on finding all those lovely sceneries! we cant wait to see you guys again!
Thanks so much! 😊
It's even better when you bikepack it like I did.
That's a long ride! Especially with weight on your bike. Did you ride into the red creek fir as well?
Beautiful trails man. That fir is massive!Reminds me of Washington state, too bad we have moved south. Looking forward to your pan American adventure. Take care guys 🤙🏼

Cool yeah I'll need to find it.

You didn't show the little tree growing out of the log in Fairy lake! And you missed a chance at Avatar.
Info it in an afternoon on my motorcycle and it’s a great loop.
@tylergray6184 yeah I wish I had an adventure bike to do this loop! Would be awsome
do you need oversized tickets for the ferry? Cellphone reception on the circle route any good? Thank you 🙏🏻 beautiful video

Y'all own a Chey dealership or something? There were more shots of the 3 trucks than anything else. Disappointing.
Haha no, just like the ZR2. Sorry your don't approve.
This is dumb.
Why thank you! You seem like a nice person. Hope you have a great day!
@OutlastOverland weird that you are able to judge a person's whole character based on 3 words. Keep going with that! You have a great day as well!!
