Welcome to Oregon- pronounced Oregun…. Wahooo for your trip.

[@newlyawakepatriot5446]

She knows but she decided on her last video that for her its "Or-eh-gone" lol. Shes so stinkin adorable!!!! I hope she has fun!! Have fun girl!!! Welcome to the best national forests!!!

[@Najitaka]

I am sure you are, but be careful in those caves. Make sure you have at least 3 light sources and some water. It's easy to get lost with no light. Also, if there are lots of turns, be sure to set up rock arrows to show you which turns to take to exit, and set them up so you can make them out in the dark.

[@2bobtest]

Yes, Sarah, you now look 16.5 years old. way to go.

Haha I thought I looked older than my ID but apparently not!

I really love your videos. You seem like such a nice, wholesome person , unlike so many on KZbin. Please keep making videos and please keep enjoying your adventures!

[@atlanticx100]

I remember Blockbuster so well for the '80s.

[@julieschroeder7751]

Love watching your adventures. . . FYI - There is no E at the end of the word Oregon. It is pronounced Or-uh-gun

[@rebeccah.4983]

Maybe Nikki will borrow your car key hanging hack and not misplace her own so much! Love those door handles at the Sisters Coffee Company!

[@pdxtrish7612]

Sarah, you and Nikki may want to think about putting your key fobs in a Faraday pouch. They are an anti-theft device that block the signal to your fob. "A Faraday pouch is effectively a metal mesh inside a fabric or leather bag, and the layers of metal absorb the electrons being sent out by the key, stopping or greatly reducing their emission, and thus giving would-be thieves no signal to clone." They are inexpensive and offer great peace of mind. My friend's car was recently stolen in this way - and her fob was in her house! Happy, safe, travels!

[@biplabpathak193]

Awesome safety idea

[@JerryArafatso-zy3gz]

I'm sure Nikki would lose it.

[@SunFL]

I concur!

[@davidy.7534]

Thanks for this suggestion! Never even knew about this kind of theft and I just upgraded from a 2010 to 2024 car with a smart key.

[@JeffreyBaird]

You can also deactivate the FOBs so the don’t transmit till you press a button.

[@joes7028]

Also at 30k subscribers great job Sarah can't wait for that Silver play button

[@tristanvarsovia]

A good rule in caving, bring at least 3 light sources plus spare batteries.

[@Outspokenguy43]

Your Videos Are Awesome! You & Nikki Have Inspired Everyone To Start Traveling Enjoy The Scenery & Telling Everyone How Great Traveling Is!

[@janderson4705]

I loved Blockbuster's.

[@mrslisalindgren]

I live in Bend. It hardly ever rains in Central Oregon, so you just happened to come on one of the few. It does rain a ton in other areas of the state though.😊

[@wreck82]

Your'e getting better Sarah! Your dialog (well monolog) is more relaxed and seems less scripted. I like it! Keep up the good work.🙂

[@SaYeager]

It doesn't usually rain in central (Orygun) thats how its pronounced. You should hike the South Sister with Nikki and your Sisters.

[@MyLocsareREAL]

Sarah!! I want you to know I’m feeling adventurous which is so new to me.. I turned 50 at the end of April and I think 🤔 I might take a road trip by myself.. leaving behind my 2 grown children and 1 teenager.. oops and my husband.. and they are perplexed 🤔 and I said Sarah and Her cousin Nikki seemed to be having fun 🤩… I just love your channel

[@newlyawakepatriot5446]

Do it, you will LOVE it!! YAY, I'm so excited for you.

[@MyLocsareREAL]

@@newlyawakepatriot5446Thank you so much 😊

[@newlyawakepatriot5446]

@@MyLocsareREAL You are so welcome!! I want to get into some of these Oregon scenic routes. Alot seem to be near BLM lands. My camper is my Ford Fusion so unfortunately it may be harder to find spots in the middle of nowhere but I am willing to try. It's worth a try right? Take care and keep us posted.

[@ofthenearfuture]

The smell of Blockbuster will always been a scent memory for me haha, can't believe there is still one left! So cool, thanks for bringing us along on your adventures

[@fletchdad8755]

I thought all Blockbusters were closed ! Nice to know there is at least one left !

I like how you say Oregon. Smithrock is an awesome hike, done it twice now and hope you have better weather next time you hike it.

[@rtamang7990]

Hi Sarah ... Excited to see your video. Love you.

[@elraz1234]

I find your voice very soothing, calm and gentle. It gives your videos a sense of serenity which I don’t find in most other videos. This makes your videos unique. Keep going. Stay safe. ❤

[@TorstenStiles-xc8jv]

While in Oregon, hunt down trail of ten falls. Beautiful hike, might be busy on the weekend so try doing it during the week

[@pdodwell1575]

I grew up in New England a long time ago. On some Sundays on our way home from church when my mother had not prepared anything for our lunch, we would stop at Friendly’s for a burger and a shake. In those days before they named it the Fribble, It was called the Awful Awful. I think that my parents had a lot of fun when they first explain to us the meaning of the name. It was given that designation because it was “awfully big and awfully good.” Ah, childhood memories.

[@grafffuller3265]

We don't usually comment, but we DO watch all your videos...plus we always LIKE your videos...to show you our love. You are more of an adventurer and I am. I do NOT like caves, especially low hanging caves. I've gone spelunking...and tight spaces are not my thing. My wife doesn't mind them. She's a little taller than you, but I'm 6'1" and it just isn't my thing. BUT, saying that...we are glad that you are conquering your fears. Yes, Blockbuster. Watched thousands of movies from that company. So many memories. We didn't have a Friendlies near it, but we did have a Chinese Restaurant. So, we go the The Great Wall of China, order our food, then go get a few movies, come back and pick up our order, then head back home and have a grand time. Miss those days. Marie wanted me to send you a comment...to thank you for these beautiful adventures that we get to go on...with you. Thanks for sharing them with us. We truly appreciate your positive attitude and perspectives on life. Stay safe and have a LOT of fun. Talk to you, next time.

[@espnmk]

Sarah showing the values and the person your are, thinking about Family from a symbolic location that reminds you of having sisters as siblings and cherished childhood memories. Thanks for Sharing and safe travels...

[@kathyfultz2273]

All that rain keeps my home state green and beautiful for much of the year...and you hit all that is great about Sisters, including your hike! Nice to see you enjoying your travels...

[@neal99]

Thanks for the adventure and inspiration, your smile and energy are an awesome combination, I look forward to all your upcoming vids, nikkis too, stay safe wish you the best🙏

[@profleo4351]

The Oregon coast is super beautiful, different from the CA coast imo. Maybe invest in some kind of helmet or head protection if you're going to be hiking in areas where overhead obstacles can potentially hurt you. A cap especially with the bill in front is going to be a liability. You don't want a concussion to ruin a day of fun. Nice editing and views. Thank you for sharing.

[@kenhindersinn3526]

Hi Sarah B...pretty sure you've done your cousin Nikki proud...nice work! And don't feel odd...EVERY day should include a hike!

[@SimonSaysyo]

Block buster days were the best. I remember looking forward to the weekend just because I knew it was a block buster one 😅

[@neildarealdeal7129]

Thanks for sharing Sarah. Yeah, Bend Oregon is so beautiful and the only location in the US with a Blockbuster... Darealdeal

Love watching you and Nikki travel around the west coast as a cheat sheet for planning my own adventures! Keep em coming :)

[@davidy.7534]

Ah, Blockbuster definitely bring back memories. If only we could go back and enjoy those moments again.

[@8888riqui]

Berkowitz ❤supreme! Look forward to yout travels thanks for sharing

[@FeliceBerkowitz]

I think I would have been much too scared to enter the cave especially all alone!! You are conquering fears with your strength. Congratulations.

[@siegeous77]

Hey Sarah! Congrats on the new channel. Our family enjoys both Nikki and your adventures. Question for you. Where did you find your window coverings? We have been inspired!

[@claytoncochran3728]

WEAR THE HAT!!!! It works as a bit of protection when there is a chance of bumping you head on low headroom areas. If you look a spelunkers, they wear hardhats when caving. Please be careful and do all you can to protect yourself, especially when soloing. Enjoying your videos. Be Well!! Enjoy Yourself!! Be Safe!!!

[@user-pd3vg3nn3y]

Hi Sarah what a Gorgeous Awesome Amazing Beautiful Scenery I like the 3 Sisters because I have 3 of them good find Sarah😊

[@austinjames1368]

Nice to see that you found your way to our area. You certainly hit some of the highlights. Its fun for me to watch a video and know the names of all the sites, trails, and waterfalls. There are many more gems in the area. Come back again soon!

Best part about this video is the blockbusters!!

[@ItsJonBaca]

Hearing people say it’s still cold in some areas makes me jealous. AZ heat is here to stay.

[@Rusty_Nickle]

You should look into something called a bump cap insert. It's just a hard shell insert for your baseball caps. Protects your head from bumps like you did on that Fisher.

[@patriciariddle2997]

The caves look like fun!

[@IceLanderve]

I kicked the soda habit by drinking Pellegrino, or Perrier with ice, a slice of lemon or lime and a non-sugar sweetener. There are monk fruit-based flavoring but they are artificial flavors in the end. I hope that helps 😊

[@andypaluch7038]

Some really beautiful video!

[@TimHart-ew7ec]

Brave, I don't think I could do smaller caves like that, all I'd be thinking about is the movie Descent.Sponge Bob and Blockbuster at the same time?? Cool door handle to the coffee shop. Cascade pet?, no dog until July 4th.

[@Marnizzle2.0]

[@pamphileay]

Honestly, you still look like 16! Enjoy the compliments. You're only young once. Good choice on the headlight. The caves are not high enough for bats to nest. Blockbuster was the place to be. We would wait in a crowd talking until someone brought a movie in.

[@CM-zu3wo]

I started watching Nikki, now you as well. When you said I hope there are no bats in this cave, I was saying I hope you have your own bat while walking though that cave! 😂

Rafting the wild and scenic rivers of Central Oregon can be a great day of adventure.

[@rachelday1439]

You should try dry ice also in your cooler, lasts longer and not a messy clean up either 😁

[@JimKilgo]

Sarah, if you are heading into Washington state make a stop at Mount St. Helens. I was there in the late 80s and it was eye opening to how much of the mountain and surrounding area was destroyed by the blast. It would be cool to see how it has change since my visit.

[@TheBrandonn]

Just gotta say, I love your tism vibes! So fun to watch. You remind me a lot of myself

[@davidjaskiewicz3461]

Who knew a blockbuster still exsisted! Nice find, brings back many memories of childhood!

[@TonyThomas10000]

You are such a sweet spirit. Safe travels!

[@SandalSanders]

Great job Sarah!👏🏼 I’m in Oregon now and headed to some caves! I feel you on this rain! ☔️😆

[@MichelleWatts-gu7vu]

Your video made me tear up. I'm an Oregonian living in Ohio and I'm unable to visit this year as I'm going through a crash course of being a first time mom. I recognized so much in your video but the funny part is I've driven through Sisters so many times, but never stopped. It was so nice to see it through your explorations and I cannot wait to stop there in the future. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

[@jonyjony5558]

Beautifull the first hike and second very cool montains... good history of sisters town and damn u really go alone in those caves! 😬

[@freedomspirit9521]

3 friends and I do much of what you and Nikki do. Except we often sleep outdoors during the warm months.....and 4 of us together at all times...no predators can get to us. We have faced the worst one in the LA Salle mountains near Moab UT..next worst on the Appalachian trail in PA. Fun times.

[@monicamestas7566]

In your last video, I made some suggestions and asked a bunch of questions. So funny... this video answers all my questions.

[@mommygarcia9137]

Cute town Sisters !

[@Gianna0831]

Aren't you ever worried walking alone? Especially in the caves? Or being a lone hiker on a 13-mile trail. There's a lot of strange people in this world, do you really feel safe? You should really think about getting a dog. Just a suggestion. My daughter is 26, and I would be so worried if she was hiking and caving alone. Stay safe.❤

[@MartianAmbassador69]

A dog is definitely not going to protect you from someone that intends to do you harm. Most dogs are scared of fireworks. What do you think a firing gun sounds like to a dog? Maybe a dog is a deterrent to a low-level criminal, but not a serious one.

Hi cousin Sarah. We have the ape caves in Washington. You can hike 1 mile down to a lake under ground. I've only been a few times. But you will need lots of light. It's so wonderful that you have become a KZbinr. It was always nice to see you car van camping with Nikki.

[@Lonnwriting]

YOU make me smile

[@seventhdayissabbath8747]

Love Smith Rock State Park... Way back in the day we used to be able to ride our quads on some trails back behind Smith Rock Park, of course that was a long time ago and you are no longer able to ride in that area. And many many years ago when I was a little kid when my dad took his 1 week vacation we would go to Scout Lake (just West of Sisters) and spend the week camping & swimming, then we would drive into Sisters to the dime store and get a little souvenir!! Your video of that area brought those memories back... I have the most awesome memories of growing up and going to these places. Thanks!!!

You are in my home state. Actually I was born and grew up in So Cal, Been in Oregon since 2003 and still get annoyed with the rain, but it keeps everything beautiful. I was an assistant manager at Blockbuster in CA. I have yet to actually visit Smith Rock . So beautiful. Keep up the great videos!

I am in Central Washington, there are many great hikes and scenic areas, much like central Oregon. It would be my pleasure to show you around. I've really enjoyed Watching Nikki and you are just as entertaining.

[@CoastDreamz]

Too bad you didn't stick to the western part of the state. The Oregon coast has some amazing views and lots of hiking options. Some online research will help you find them. Hwy 101 drives right along the coast line for a lot of it too. And there are side roads that will take you to some special areas. It can be rainy, though, but that's not a big deal if you dress for it. Summer might be the best time, because it doesn't rain much in the summer. But that's the busiest tourist season and Hwy 101 is already a slow drive even when there aren't tourists.

[@sandrapicard422]

You. Can also put your ice in then salt the ice to freeze it around your stuff!!! Good to see you today. ❤❤

[@TheOnlyTaps]

And yeah so true about the ice. I never even noticed it. Coz yeah if you are using ice for cooling drinks and water that's when you want to put it directly in the cooler but for foods you want to keep it in bags so the water eventually melts into those bags and you have the cold retaining without getting the water onto everything especially every time you want to change it having to empty out the cooler.
