    I want to give a big thanks to the scrappy core folks who've watched this series and other videos this year! I hope they've been worth your time. Your messages and support mean a ton. The conclusion (Part 3) of this series is on the way! I hope to get it done as quick as possible... I'm shooting for Sunday, December 10th. And I think I'll release the entire trip as one long "movie" on Christmas Day for anyone who'd like to watch the entire adventure.

    From what I can find, chumstick comes from Chinook Jargon. Chum meaning “painted or marked” and stick meaning “tree”.
    Fun fact, that’s why we have a type of salmon called chum, with their distinctive red markings.

    I hope these videos take off and get a ton of views as they are entertaining and a great resource for anyone looking to drive the WABDR.
    When I was prepping to drive this trail back in 2017 for the first time I would have found these videos very useful :)
    Keep up the good work guys :)

    We've done Sections 1 and 2. Section 1 is super easy, just a gravel road with some potholes. Section 2 was way more fun. We ended up taking a detour to Manastash Ridge Observatory and camped out on the ridge just below the observatory with an amazing view, then backtracked to Section 2 and finished it up the next day. On a side note, the secret camping spot on Bethel Ridge (part of section 2) is really worth it.
    We hope to do Section 3 next month (June 2024) on our way to Northwest Overland Rally in Plain, WA. Probably will spend 1 night on section 3 just to split it up. Heard the washout is fun. :)
    Great video, thanks for sharing your experience!

      Depending on the time of year a stock 4wd truck with good AT tires can do this trip. Just have buddies and recovery gear. BUT... if you do it earlier in the season you'll need bigger tires, a winch... all the things! :-)

      It is similar, but the difference is the elevation between the two states. Washington is not as high and less mountain peaks. I am hoping to get Jason out to Colorado one of these days to see the difference.

      @@aevnate4140 You'll have to get him out here next season. We're snowed in at this point (currently snowing actually) so no upper mountains until May or June next year! You should take him on Imogene for sure, but the Rim Rocker trail is also pretty awesome and great for overlanding. There's just too many amazing trails to pick from, lol.

    There are so many nails in the ground where you guys parked on Chumstick. Most likely from a lookout that the forest service decommissioned the old way.

    Chumstick is from the Chumstick Indians.
    Just like Wenatchee is from the Wenatchee Indian tribe.
    Most of the names of places and towns / cities are named after Indigenous Indian tribes from around this area.

    that dude talking about sasquatch
    missed a key point in his musings he says saquatch may use more of it brain power to not be found but yet theres alleged multiple sightings each year
    most of which occur in places where humans frequently are
    not trying to start the debate in this thread just stating that for an animal that doesnt wasnt anything to do with humans it sure is seen by humans an awful lot
