I love your music, I love the food, I love your joy. Carry on.

[@LauraOnTheMove]

That brings a big smile to my face! Thank you!

[@daniellewhit7624]

You gave me new ideas and spots to visit when I go this year. Can’t get enough of the Oregon coast.

[@LauraOnTheMove]

It’s easily on the top destinations in the country list!!

[@lisamunoz2991]

Courtney likes PB on her pancakes, me too!

[@LauraOnTheMove]

Every time!

[@sadielaurentiwhitley3762]

Thank you for this video, very helpful for my upcoming trip.

[@LauraOnTheMove]

It's such a beautiful area of the country! I hope you have a great time!!

[@kathyjohnson1911]

We found (especially) on road trips that googling for reviews of restaurants was the only way to go. Good job, gals! This spring we’re heading up the coast from San Francisco to Seattle, then over to CO. Can’t wait (although we’re not camping).

[@LauraOnTheMove]

It’s going to be so pretty in the spring!! We found all of the state parks to be great but you have to stop at the Arch Rock overlook!!

[@kaykrochet9099]

I really enjoyed this trip, I will be going doing this coastal trip soon. Thank you for all the great places to look out for

[@LauraOnTheMove]

SO many stops along the coast for a great view! It seemed like the southern Oregon coast had the best viewpoints and central coast had the best towns to stop in but it was all pretty great!

[@MarisolsAdventures]

beautiful drive on the coastline. Love all those rocks...you guys had some good food on the way. :)

[@LauraOnTheMove]

We planned our days based on the next food stop… and then totally failed at Redwoods and didn’t have breakfast or lunch so it balanced out 😅

[@MarisolsAdventures]

@@LauraOnTheMove lol

[@kl0ke]

So many good memories of the coast growing up. Next chance you get in Depoe Bay, grab some Ainslees salt water taffy!

[@LauraOnTheMove]

Thanks!! I’ll add that to the list for next time!

[@coastskyadventures2752]

Putting on check list to visit market when I go to Seattle next year. Fresh donuts are so good. I only got good fresh donuts in Philly downtown market. Not so much in Akron Ohio. It's probably my expectations of food in Akron Ohio is not great. Classic Goonies movie. That camping site looks real clean. That's pretty good being in the woods. The Pacific Ocean looks so beautiful. That fire smoke is crazy.

[@LauraOnTheMove]

It was perfect to visit the market for a day before heading to the coast! I expect all of the Oregon State Park campgrounds are similar and would highly recommend but the water on the coast is very cold! Unfortunately more smoke to come...

[@Mimichellee]

Great video

[@LauraOnTheMove]

Thanks!!

[@vettechmom6056]

I love the Oregon coast. My sister lives in Seaside, just south of Astoria. Also in Astoria (if you head back up that way) is the elementary school from Kindergarten Cop LOL. If you go back to Seattle, be sure to hit up the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum and the Museum of Pop Culture right next to the Space Needle. Lots of fun things to do in Seattle.

[@LauraOnTheMove]

I’ll be back for sure! The garden and space needle were next on our list but we got sucked into the market which was also very fun! The coast is beautiful it would be an amazing place to live!

[@29mirstudio]

Beautiful video, we are heading to the Oregon coast next month. Maybe it's just me, but I would have liked more specific location, nearest City at least, of each emblematic stop. Thank you

[@LauraOnTheMove]

There are a few towns along the way, but not a lot of landmarks. It's also a strait shot, so no chance to take a wrong turn. There are many stops that we had to skip for time. All of the places marked state parks along the drive are great places to check out!

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

I remember Courtney in some of your other videos, but I forget if you're related or friends.

[@LauraOnTheMove]

She’s my girlfriend 🤗 her job requires her to be home most of the time but it’s always great when she joins me on one of the trips!!

[@Georgia-rd8ji]

Do you think you could drive from Portland OR to Los Angeles CA in 8 days? Would you be able to see sights and not feel crazy rushed? Flying in and just trying to decide where to start coastal drive.

[@LauraOnTheMove]

Yes, that is plenty of time to see some amazing things. You’ll just have to prioritize what you want to see. I would recommend a new destination every other day. That way you can spend a day somewhere then the next day driving to the next spot. You’ll just have the hard task of picking the most important stops for you!

[@Georgia-rd8ji]

@@LauraOnTheMove thank you

[@Stephan5150]

Hello from Canada! We're about to go explore the Oregon / California coast in a few weeks and your video is great for planning, thanks so much for sharing! I'm not sure if you still reply to comments but can I ask what time of year your travelled? Also @ 10:10 time stamp, you have these big oversized plate/bowls, this is what we've been trying to find for a while now! What are they called, where did you find them please? Thanks so much and happy travels!

[@LauraOnTheMove]

I love these plates! I found them at a discount store, but I think these are similar: amzn.to/47ll8ro I hope you have a great trip! The picture we took at Arch Rock is framed on our wall and is still one of the top 5 vies I've seen across the country. I would say it's a trip of a lifetime, but I always hope people get the chance to see these views more than once!!

[@vanessap3439]

Hey, beautiful video! I just wanna ask if you always slept on a campsite or did you do free camping too? Did you guys feel safe all the time? Because me and my gf gonna travel up the west coast from San Francisco to Seattle and we are kinda worried that something is gonna happen to us if we don’t sleep on camping sites. What would you recommend? Thanks a lot in advance :)

[@LauraOnTheMove]

We did some wild camping. If you’re going from San Francisco north to Seattle there was a beautiful spot just south of crescent city, California. But we also stayed at a Home Depot, and a Walmart which just isn’t as fun for a road trip, so I would recommend getting camp grounds where you can. I use the iOverlander app to look for wild camping spots. It has reviews and you can see the date when people stayed plus it’s free! I found that area to be hardest to wild camp because there or so many people living in their campers that companies shut down staying in parking lots. It’s such a beautiful drive! I think almost all of the Oregon state parks are free so don’t hesitate to stop at a bunch!

[@LauraOnTheMove]

ALSO be sure to check the 101 closure near crescent city. You can google it but they close the road for a few hours every day to work on a rock slide. We had no idea! But it’s something to plan for!

[@Realitteatime]

Did you rent the van or do you own it?

[@LauraOnTheMove]

I owned it. I think renting is a great plan too, but it was nice to own it so I could do what I wanted inside

[@LuvxJacqu4li8e]

Damn the ...

[@droach5241]

What’s the name of the Clam Chowder shop in Seattle

[@LauraOnTheMove]

Pike place chowder 👍🏻
