What a great way to start my day! Cup of coffee and your video! That drive into Oregon was beautiful and I can't wait to see this campsite! Safe travels!
The Oregon coast is beautiful! I've camped all the way from Brookings to Astoria and have nothing but positive things to say. You do need to get your campsites early or they will be full!
I lived in Oregon my entire life I've been on the go since the turn of the century I keep telling people you think it's great here it rains it rains west of I-5 more than its Sunshine's I've wasted 20 years of my life endures they never seem to get it or it rains once in awhile bulshit it rains about 60 in a year where I live some places on the coast it's 80 in in Portland it's about 50 in or more and you can't enjoy the coast and it blows too much and destroys everything I'm trying to get out of Oregon and I got to go somewhere like Arizona or Nevada get out of here
Hi Russ ! Yeah ! Oregon.. The Trees … The Ocean … The cool air... Morning fog... Nice little towns.. Great Camping and fishing... Oh.. I wish I was there right now.... Nice video.. Make sure to do some video inside the camp site.. Would love to see it.. Can't see too much on google earth.. Enjoy the days ahead Russ ! Stay Healthy and Happy.. Talk Soon ! ;)
WOW!! I am looking forward to your travels through Oregon --A bowl of Chowder from Mos is a must -- The Chowder Bowl in Nye Beach also has great chowder
If you get near Or. mm 182 on I-5 let me know... I can hook you up to water and electricity for a few days if you want. Nothin special... just a free pace to park for a few days. Great videos as usual !
Some of them have been signed no overnight camping over the winter :-( mostly the ones that are in pistol river state park but also they now have signs in the rest stop across the highway from harris beach.
Hey Russ, did you hear that Bob Wells is looking to change the RTR to CA?? If that happens, I will miss the ride along’s with you and your going to some neat little places. Video very nice. CA is sure beautiful!!
Don't tell anyone this.... Here is some insider info for any and all as you travel up the Oregon Coast... All the coast in the US is beautiful, east west coasts, all wonderful. The drive from Florence to Yachats [pronounced YA' hots]... is my favorite, and I now live in the area. As you drive up coast, and want to stay for a night, and don't want to pay, pull into the old, HS parking lot in Waldport, it is in 'The tsunami zone' just a few feet above sea level, so Waldport built a new HS up in the hills. What is left is a nice level parking lot. Over looking a nice area to walk your dogs, and bird watch: 101 to Waldport... Go east on Hwy 34 [NW Hemlock St] Pass the Fire Dept on right, and Rays Food [Groceries] on left, Ace Hardware on left, now just turn right....It's just a few blocks from 101... A few nice little coffee shacks for your morning brew near by You've now Turn right on NE Crestline, turn right again into lot... If you drive over the Slough you missed it You are there... safe, and quiet, the City Hall, Post Office and City Services all near... Enjoy The Day!
1:19, thought for sure you'd tell us about how that old ship got there. Thank you for showing places to stay along the route. Brookings is a nice little town. They have a very good RV repair shop that replaced my heater motor, quickly, at an honest price. I paid $3.55 in the LA area for gas this morning. I find a great tactic is to buy gas to Costco, they are easy to find, and a great break. Walk around and sample the food then drive on. Cheapest gas without searching. Eureka store had 8 oz coffee samples
I hate driving through CA because of their taxes. Enjoy the Oregon gas prices because Washington is trying it's hardest to tax it's citizens as much as CA does. I bypass CA when I drive to AZ.
Marie Jakowski It's a California Border Protection Station. They don't have enough money for their schools, but they have enough for their own border patrol. LOL. Which you can totally avoid by driving around it.
Its an agricultural inspection station. They try to control the flow of plants, fruits & vegetables into the state in order to keep out pests which may affect the crops grown in California.
What a great way to start my day! Cup of coffee and your video! That drive into Oregon was beautiful and I can't wait to see this campsite! Safe travels!
I've stayed there, it's $20 with the discount card. A guy on a bicycle was looking to set up his tent and offered me $10. Very nice place to stay.
Welcome to Oregon. The only Walmarts on the Coast are in Coos Bay and Newport. Elsewhere you will have to settle for Fred Meyer.
They added a Walmart in Warrenton, OR, near Astoria.
56 Chevy Thanks, I didn't know that. I wonder if Florence will ever get one. Not that I like Walmart, but they do serve a purpose.
Coos bay is full of meth heads, lock your stuff up!
Morning Russ! Wow! Can't believe it's been 25 days already! Bet you're really looking forward to getting off the road for a couple of days. Enjoy! 🌞
The Oregon coast is beautiful! I've camped all the way from Brookings to Astoria and have nothing but positive things to say. You do need to get your campsites early or they will be full!
I hope you brought your raincoat. Nice drive up to coast and plenty to stop and see if you want. Happy trails.

My home town.🩵
There is a great RV park right down by the harbor,it has dry camping sites next to the Jetty and crabbing platform.
wow , what a view at that campground
Arizona to Oregon in 25 days - by way of the Pacific Coast highway... awesome! Now punch in the Cassier on the GPS for Prudhoe Bay Russ...

Your intro music always reminds me of Quartzite & now Oregon
WOW!! I am looking forward to your travels through Oregon --A bowl of Chowder from Mos is a must -- The Chowder Bowl in Nye Beach also has great chowder
We stayed at Harris Beach last January. Very nice.
That looks like a great campsite on the coast Russ. Thanks for posting.
Brookings would be a nice place to live I imagine.
It's a real nice town, I lived there for almost two years. It's sort of like Boise in a way, charming and a long way from anything. I miss it.
yup I live 25 miles north in Gold Beach absolutely love it
If you get near Or. mm 182 on I-5 let me know... I can hook you up to water and electricity for a few days if you want. Nothin special... just a free pace to park for a few days.
Great videos as usual !
I have only been this way once I don’t remember smiths river Casino
When I first moved to Washington the logging trucks could fill a truck with 2 or 3 logs. They were cutting old growth back then.
I love that drive!
I'm passing by Quartzsite tomorrow and will have to catch you in the Pacific NW
I enjoyed my trip up highway 1 too. Had zero problem parking at the highway turnouts most of the time
Some of them have been signed no overnight camping over the winter :-( mostly the ones that are in pistol river state park but also they now have signs in the rest stop across the highway from harris beach.
I love your videos.
Nice, Thanks for sharing, Lo :)
Hey Russ, did you hear that Bob Wells is looking to change the RTR to CA?? If that happens, I will miss the ride along’s with you and your going to some neat little places. Video very nice. CA is sure beautiful!!

Nice videos...
Hey Russ. Do you still have your class A? Or is it mostly your van now? Hello from Canada! Kev&Melis.
Russ still has his Class A .. stored in Arizona for now.
How much was the two nights ?
Rus is this still 101 be safe
Brookings is one of my favorite places, thanks for the ride.
Wait. California has its own inspection stations, are they succeeding from the union?
Reminds me of east and west Germany...
I've been through California inspection stations ??? Been across the country that's the only state that I've ever seen that in ??? Kooky ???
How is your bed holding up?
perfectly
@@rvertv Cool! 😊
Enjoyed it, Russ! Cajun :-)))
It's a desert of pine trees!!!!!
🌲🐿🌲

Where are you now
Russ?
I live in Bandon by animal park stop for coffee
Are you from California ?
What was that inspection station for?
Marie Jakowski It's a California Border Protection Station. They don't have enough money for their schools, but they have enough for their own border patrol. LOL. Which you can totally avoid by driving around it.
@@MaxZomboni Thanks. I never saw anything like that between states.
Marie Jakowski You will see them at all the major entry points into California, even on the Interstates.
IMHO, They try and keep Americans out of CA....that's why they have inspections stations.
Its an agricultural inspection station. They try to control the flow of plants, fruits & vegetables into the state in order to keep out pests which may affect the crops grown in California.
Walmart.... :-(
