Thanks for the laugh at the beginning 🤣🤣 The water's always the best part for me❣ I love how you include your Mom❣ Washington's so beautiful, lush & green! Really wish I could move there. Even though it so cold in the winter. But rain is my fav weather❣❣ I'm really enjoying your vids🥰🍁🍂🍁🤗

[@RVJedeye]

So glad I can make you laugh from time to time 😁

I love the water. I'm a water person. The parks you showed were beautiful, especially the water.views. My husband and I love your videos. We also like your Tatooine shirt. We are Star Wars fans. Thanks for sharing the parks. As always, I look forward to your next video.

My mom loves water too and so do I! We always camp near the water, even stay at hotels on the water! Thanks for taking us on another fun trip!

[@RVJedeye]

Always… there is just something about that water-energy I love too😊

Lovely! I remember back when reservations weren’t needed. Glad it’s still possible to do that!

Yeah I was not so sure how it would work out but it did😁

Awww thanks 😁

Stunning. Wish me luck. Next weekend I will embark on my maiden voyage at a nearby state park. 🙌🤞

[@RVJedeye]

Marva… have fun… know that everything won’t go as planned… and the best part is you’re doing it and can do it again 🤗

Yet another beautiful Washington state park. What a great camp site. The land across the water from that park is Hartstene Island, which has a bridge. There is a nice state park on the north end of the island - Jarrell Cove State park. The cove is very peaceful, but the views are not as spectacular as those at Joemma Beach. I have been there for day use when visiting the island - my brother's in-laws have a waterfront cabin on Hartstene Island. The route you took to the Lakebay area can be used to get to Twanoh state park on the south shore of Hood Canal. That park is one of my favorite state parks. Back in the 50s we had a cabin on the north shore of the canal and my dad took us across the canal several times in our boat to visit Twanoh. I also used to stop there on my way to Olympic National Park. Lots of water access there and great sunsets behind the southern Olympic mountains. I look forward to your cheffing it up video from this location.

[@cchambersglenn]

You shared two great sites today. The forest hike was very dense and I loved the hike to the water! I think it’s great that you think about your Mom when you hike to the water. We just got back from a 16 day trip to northern Michigan. Saw some beautiful sunsets on the water (Grand Traverse Bay)

Nice! Thank you for sharing. We have visited Washington state a few times. Mostly because we are OTR truck drivers. I helped my friend move to the Emerald City back in 1997 to start her new life. Stay Safe

Ohhh I’m excited to watch more from this series of videos, I just got a Crosstrek with the intention of it being a car camping adventure car but haven’t gotten to go yet.. thank you for sharing your experiences with it!

[@cesarvides9729]

Thanks for the video. I like the pace, very calm.

[@RVJedeye]

Thanks! So glad you found it😊

[@sandybuzz22]

I recently camped at Joemma...in site #11!!! Definitely the best view of all the sites in the park. So happy it was available for you to snag! I sat on the beach for hours just reading a book and watching the waves and the birds -- it was so relaxing. Your state park videos are really well done and enjoyable to watch!

[@RVJedeye]

Sandy great minds think alike😁

[@rodneymathews5885]

Nice, a lot more hills to hike for exercise unlike FL and southern GA.

[@RVJedeye]

Yes, but since I started back there I miss it still😁

[@todddunn945]

David, seeing the dock at that park reminded me of one of my favorite ways to visit the Puget Sound state parks - by boat. Once you resolve the RV issue you might want to consider buying a different type of "RV" - a boat. If I was in your situation I would seriously consider a Ranger 25 or similar small cruiser. Most of the Washington State parks on Puget Sound have docks and/or mooring buoys and quite a few of the parks are only accessible by boat. A boat would get you on the water "literally" and provides a way of seeing the Puget Sound area that is really great. The only down side is that boating is NOT cheap.

[@RVJedeye]

I definitely have to hit the sound in a boat one of these days 😊

[@todddunn945]

@@RVJedeye start with "The Peoples Yacht" - Washington State Ferry. I suggest heading across the sound as a walk on just before sunset with a return after dark. The lights of the city are beautiful from the water. Take some fish and chips r chowder from Ivar's seafood bar (next door to the ferry terminal).

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

Yes a truck with a camper shell with slides and pulling a boat would be ideal❣❣

[@bellabridgette7178]

Site 11! What an amazing camping site. BTW, (if you don't my saying) I think you are making a good point to down size from the RV to something that allows more flexibility. Not always easy but it's freedom. Good luck!

[@RVJedeye]

Bella thanks so much! 🤗

Man that opening shot with the egg running out was perfect. As far as doing scenery justice with a camera? All you can do is try. I just got back from a 2. month trip through Colorado and Wyoming, hundreds of photos. They don't come close to being there. Great Video as always. Thank you.

David have you thought about getting a class b Rv van so you can go where both a car or Rv can go. Then you can have a rest room & fit anywhere
