Arizona resident here 👋🏼 (born & raised in Michigan) … I love your channel! It gives me so many ideas of cool places to visit. Even places to sightsee here in Arizona! Keep putting out these amazing videos! 💕

What an interesting ride ! Thanks Russ !

Bye the way, I live right by here!!! ❤

Hey there, thank you for my heart reply, my ribs are getting all healed up from watching rvertv!!!❤❤

At the 1:58:51 mark, you rolled past my brother’s bar in downtown Hood River. it’s called 64 Taphouse and it’s on the left as you are driving by. Great little bar favored by the locals and many windsurfers and visitors that come to the area.

incredible!

Beautiful area huh?! Welcome to my home area! I live just 10 miles or less north in Vancouver wa. I used to travel to vista house and the old freeway there for weekly pleasure rides in high school. Always knew i lived in a magical place

great video. but, you said that Long Beach (in Washington) is the longest beach in the world and I'm not sure if you were kidding or not, but it isn't the longest beach in the world. that title goes to Praia do Cassino in Brazil. 158 miles long. Long Beach, WA is the longest "drive-able" beach, but in terms of actual mileage in length, Praia do Cassino takes it.

Maybe Tennessee Earnie Ford ,did the song here .16 tons..

Very interesting loved it

Hi Russ. Thanks again for another tour. But when you add the word "resort" to an rv park.. the price doubles/triples.. lol. Safe Travels Russ! 🙂

Vielen Dank fürs mi mitnehmen, war echt interessant.

My huband's great-grandpa was one of the men posing on that huge turbine at the dam!

Bridal Veil Falls is where my husband proposed to me! Such wonderful memories!This is such a beautiful drive. Thanks for taking us with you, Russ.

Love the views , omg the vista house was amazing! And that huge rock along the road lol I think we said that at the same time.

Look at the open road. I visited Arizona and it was a pleasure to drive there. The people were very hospitable. It's is a beautiful state.

My wife and I drive this a couple times a year for a day get away. We love to have visitors come and see our beautiful state. A few years back some teenage visitors decided they were going to throw firecrackers in the dry season. If you look closely at Bonneville Dam (fire truck segment) on the bluff you can see the results of their stupidity. It’s heartbreaking to see the damage done! It used to be all green.

Gotta love the long form videos. Thank you for sharing Russ.

If you look to the right when you pass Davis camp you can see us! Yesterday I rode my motorcycle out to golden valley and was almost ran over. Crazy winds and crazy drivers

Simply the best, perfect vibe😎 ❤ the cloudscapes✅

More great stuff. When I saw the first waterfall I thought it would make a Bob Ross painting 😉 I was just wondering how close you were to clearing that little overpass when you commented on it. Cheers for showing us your lovely country. 🙂

wow, awesome musuem

Great video! Love all the scenic views! Such gorgeous places.

Beautiful Vista house

Hey Russ GREETINGS FROM TOLEDO WASHINGTON stop in our little fair town and see out monument in the city park and put it in one of your videos, it's rather cool. It wasn't their when I was a kid going to school here, and I'm still here

That first waterfall was framed so nicely by the foliage. What a pretty spot! Great drive!

You can bike and walk across The Bridge of the Gods.

Hi Russ. Next time you’re on the Oregon or Washington coast going through the port towns stop in and check out any US Coast Guard Stations. I know in Oregon, Newport, DePoe Bay, or Astoria they would give you a tour of the station and possibly one of the motor boats. I did the one in Coos Bay ( Charleston) and they took me around the station and on the motor boats. It was very interesting.

Wow! I wanna go here!

Awesome trip the Dam was unbelievable the scenery was beautiful Thank you for allowing us to travel with you 🙏🏻

Thanks!

The rock formations in the gorge were carved out during the ice age mega floods that filled the gorge to the brim in many places. Those floods traveled at 60+ mph and drained 450 cubic miles of water out of glacial lake Missoula in Montana 18,000 to 12,000 years ago, repeatedly, more than 40 times.

Great vidio , thank you russ .

Little interesting fact about Missouri. As a resident, you are allowed to distill 200 gallons of moonshine for personal use EVERY YEAR. Which equals almost 700 handles a year 😮

Another great episode from the summer trip🙂 Wow, those lampreys at the Bonneville fish ladder viewing window are super creepy! There's so much to see in that area, there's never enough time to see it all. If you ever make it back I highly recommend a visit to the world-class Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum in Hood River.

My neck of the woods. Troutdale!

like to follow along with google earth to get a better idea where yih are at . this time I saw a white van parked exactly where you were when making the vista house vid . what ate tha odds it was your van ??

This was an amazing drive, we did it in July 2024 and were really impressed with it all.

I'm so great full that you have shared these adventures with us Russ. Big time. Love it

Some have woodstoves still here in Sweden. Especially if you live out in the countryside or have a summer house. Good to have if the electricity goes out. You can buy modern types of them too. 👍🏻😁 I love this video. It was really informative and interesting. Thank you! ❤

Great content keep up the great work.

THANKS!

Thanks Russ, this was perhaps my favorite video of yours so far!😊

It was a pretty drive… thanks

That's the way we traveled in 1953. Took a ferry across the Columbia.

Another great video Russ.. Happy Travels 👍

I bet you before you even see it. The cost is gonna be between 150 and 275 a night with full hook ups.

Just under the Bridge of the Gods in the parking lot are Native Indians selling their fresh caught salmon at below market prices - they also sell smoke salmon that is amazing

Safe travels Russ let the Journey continue🤠
