Thank you Stacy!

[@smileystevie9662]

Great video of Oregon. Thanks.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you!

[@luannkelly5071]

I love this area, and even though I used to live up there, I didn't see all these areas. I plan to vacation up in Eastern Oregon this next summer. Worth watching this over and over.

[@GrandAdventure]

You're much too kind, Luann. Thank you very much, and here's wishing you an amazing time through Eastern Oregon next summer! We passed that way this year, and highly recommend the Steens Mountain area: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHOacp-EfpaNnrM

[@petraolsen2397]

Binging your vids, beautiful job geez .....mad skills.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks so much, Petra -- binge away! ❤

[@stevebrien9759]

Another great location video. I live in Oregon and have been to a few of these places. Thanks for showing me more and reminding me of some of the lovely places right in my own backyard.

[@GrandAdventure]

And what a beautiful backyard you have!

[@andreagustin4913]

Very nice video. Cant wait to see where your 4000 mile trip takes you.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Andrea!

[@annesilva3035]

Love your dogs😊

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Anne! We adore them. Some of the footage used in this video was from our archives, and we had to say goodbye to Maggie (our golden retriever) a couple of months back, so just for now we're a single-pup family with Zoe.

[@whitefam2000]

Grew up on the Oregon Coast. Took my kids to Newport a lot. Had to chase some kids who thought it was fun to throw dirt clods down on the tourist at Yaquina Lighthouse. Never had a problem with them after that 89'. Grew up in Reedsport and went to school there, so did my kids till 92. My father worked for Salmon Harbor in Winchester Bay, what you called Umpqua Dunes used to be free to park and camp out on the 2nd and 3rd beach. Can't tell you how many times I walked the 3 miles from the highway to the beach through the dunes and swam in the the various small ponds. My sisters finished their schooling in Coos Bay and North Bend. Horsefall beach is one you shouldn't miss either. Glad you went. Happy travels. Mike

[@GrandAdventure]

It would be a wonderful place to grow up, Mike, and it sounds like you definitely made the best of it! Thanks so much for sharing your tales.

[@gavinstreetie1473]

Come to Oregon ! The coast line and beach’s look amazing places to be , really like your picture on the beach at sunset with the dogs , Thankyou for a great tour of Oregon thanks Marc nice one ☝️

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Gavin!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Great work Marc! So enjoyed being a part of it! Appreciate your help with our channel, look forward to the next collab!

[@GrandAdventure]

Likewise Tom!

[@LaCatLady]

Campsite Videos ...Just subbed to your channel.

[@CampTravelExplore]

TY so much, hope you enjoy it, give us some feedback on the videos you watch!

[@ColinJ388]

We just went out to the coast earlier this summer. My wife had never been to Oregon - as we were leaving she said 'ok we have to move here.'

[@GrandAdventure]

Mrs. GA expressed similar sentiments.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Just did our annual 3 week camping trip to Oregon - visited a few of those waterfalls you showed - so gorgeous! Can’t wait to upload my photos & videos to see what I got. Nice thorough overview of this amazing state!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks so much! Glad to hear that you had a wonderful trip as well -- feel free to share some of your shots with us on social media if you're happy with them!

[@salsoares1353]

Thanks well don

[@stevebrien9759]

Them some good dogs you got there :)

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks, Steve! They're wonderful. Since this video was filmed, we had to say goodbye to Maggie our golden retriever earlier this summer, but Zoe our lab is our constant companion.

[@stevebrien9759]

@@GrandAdventure That's the hardest part of having dogs, they just don't last long enough. I've had dogs my whole life. Our Zoe, spelled the same as yours, was an exceptionally fun Boxer Dog. Boxer's only go about 7-9 years, it's a heart break when we lose them but such a joy for the short time they bless us with their lives.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@stevebrien9759 we could not have said it better ourselves.

[@jesib7526]

Great video Marc! I love Oregon! I've spent a lot of summers around Roseburg, but want to spend time checking out the entire state! Every year, eastern OR has been on my list... well.. someday. :)

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you, Jesi! Sounds like it's time to explore many of the other parts of the state, we doubt you'll be disappointed.

[@jesib7526]

@@GrandAdventure Had to watch this again! THIS is the summer trip I want more than any other! Your videos and information are super! I'm so glad you found us at VFMRV ! THIS is what it's all about and you present it perfectly! Thanks to you both, and your sweet pets!

[@GrandAdventure]

@@jesib7526 well then, just DO IT! You've got a great FB group, thanks for allowing us to be a part of it.

[@FollowingtheYellowBrickRoad]

As always, a great video

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you so much!

[@terigomez1971]

I live in Utah, which is gorgeous, but Oregon is the most beautiful state I've been to. Thanks for taking time to make this beautiful video.

[@GrandAdventure]

And thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, Teresa!

[@clubmike2910]

ok that is it, I am going to have to go to Oregon now, only problem with watching all your great videos, now I want to visit a lot of these places. Guess I am going to have to buy an rv.

[@GrandAdventure]

Our first camping trip to Oregon, from which there's some footage in this video, was just with our Tacoma car camping. RV not required!

[@lorih379]

Love the shots of the girls. That last one is precious.

[@GrandAdventure]

We love that one, too. They were so, so pooped! Photo credit goes to Mrs. GA.

[@helenmallazzo7094]

Marc, you are making my bucket list longer. Oregon is beautiful. Are you taking us on your 4k mile journey? I cant wait. Where are we going? and when are we leaving?

[@GrandAdventure]

You betcha, Helen! Southern New Mexico en route to and from western and central Texas.

[@jimmcgee3111]

Southern New Mexico is my home area. Enjoy Lincoln County if you get here.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@jimmcgee3111 thanks, Jim! We will be passing through Lincoln County.

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

Excellent video, Marc. Your very best yet. We have just come back from the Oregon coast and you captured it perfectly. Truly a magical place.

[@GrandAdventure]

It is indeed wonderful. Thank you Michael!

[@dramaqueen3306]

This is a wonderful video, I enjoyed it so much! I finally got my first RV a few weeks ago, a small teardrop and am going out with it soon. Your channel is helping me learn so many RV related things . thank you. I saw that your going to be visiting Texas soon, where will visit while there. Asking because that’s where I’m located.

[@jimmcgee3111]

Try to visit the town of Lincoln. It is famous for the Lincoln County War and Billy the Kid, Capitan birthplace and burial of Smokey Bear. There is a good BLM campsites between the two towns right of of US-380. Ruidoso has a Walmart in case you need to resupply. Just some ideas and I’m sure research ed all this already. Enjoy your trip and looking forward to future video’s.

[@GrandAdventure]

Appreciate the tips, Jim! We'll be passing through on Sunday en route to Cloudcroft, but it'll be our second big drive day in a row and we'll be anxious to get that weekend of driving finished. On the return trip, however, we have a stop planned in Roswell, so we'll be keeping Lincoln in mind.

[@ericmoore6934]

cool traveling video 👍 Would love to go to Oregon some time, its on my bucket list. Jealous you made it to Bend, Mt Bachelor is there ⛷ I presume that must of been Maggie in the video.

[@GrandAdventure]

Indeed, Eric -- that is Maggie, some of the footage used in this episode was from 2016, 2017 and 2018. Bend is a sweet little town, and there are at least three different shots of Mt. Bachelor in this video that I can think of. It's been a few years but I last skied it in 2012 on a press trip co-sponsored by the Bend Chamber and the ski area, and it's a fun hill. There's nothing steep enough to give most folks pause, but the idea of skiing 360 degrees of the summit cone, working whatever aspect is best for sun and wind, is truly special.

[@spellmadam2947]

Great video. Thanks Marc

[@GrandAdventure]

Appreciate it as always, Spell Madam!

[@marianfrances4959]

went to youtube, punched in oregon and there you were! thank you for the continued, excellent video content!!

[@GrandAdventure]

So happy you found it, Marian -- thank you!

[@adventuresofjandk]

marian frances wife and I love in Oregon and also have a KZbin channel showcasing some of the sites if interested

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@LaCatLady thank you so much. Really appreciate that.

[@Smapdi60]

Planning a trip out to Seattle and then down the coast to Bay Area in late October. This is inspiring. Any thoughts on state parks to see other than what you already covered and thoughts on what weather we might see?

[@GrandAdventure]

We haven't been at that time of year, Scott. We made the same trek, not quite to the Bay Area, last July. Here are the episodes in order: Olympic National Park: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIHMdGN4mNp5m9U Mount St Helens: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn-baHqte9JsiK8 Newport: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYeqo2SwiJiDnc0 Redwood National Park: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2ezd6SKbblka7M Mendocino Coast: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaClnaaOnc6Nf6s Hope that helps!

[@LifeWithMikeandMJ]

Beautiful

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you, folks! We've been enjoying following your adventures as well.

[@bradwedge8276]

Wow, at first glance, you would be certain you're looking at Montana on this video lol.

[@GrandAdventure]

Yes Brad, Oregon truly has an incredibly diverse natural environment. We've loved our time there.

[@journey2fifty]

Oregon! Such a beautiful state :)

[@GrandAdventure]

It is indeed.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Hey Marc, I watch on my 60 in plasma, I can’t believe how clear the beautiful photos and videos come out, great job.

[@GrandAdventure]

Glad to hear it! Every now and then we watch on our 4K 55". Shooting and editing everything in 4K makes a difference, and we're so happy that you've noticed!

[@sheilasabella5275]

Sorry to be redundant, but well done!! You keep on increasing the bucket list of places that we easterners need to visit, God willing. Thanks!!! Kerry and Sheila.

[@GrandAdventure]

Kerry & Sheila, we'll take that kind of redundancy -- thank you so much!

[@GPosner8]

Shhhh! Don’t tell anyone about Oregon😀 Superb job.👍

[@GrandAdventure]

LOL! OK, we won't.

[@DanyRivard]

Vraiment magnifique !

[@GrandAdventure]

Merci Dany, nous l'apprécions!

[@adventuresofjandk]

Great video. As someone who makes Oregon home you did a fantastic job showcasing what the state offers.

[@GrandAdventure]

Well, that's about the best endorsement we could hope to have -- thank you!

[@rambling_rob7035]

You found some great places to camp. I bet you had sand for weeks in the RV with those "salty dogs." Thanks Marc.

[@GrandAdventure]

They weren't the only ones, Rob -- we had sand ourselves in places we didn't even know existed! ;)

[@carolelesage7585]

👍❤️Merci Marc

[@kimsargeant8126]

Mark and Mrs GA, how do you deal with salty dogs? I’m thinking the salt might bother their skin. I know it did for my girl.

[@GrandAdventure]

We just find somewhere to hose 'em down.

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

love the drone shots. i love Seaside and Mcminnville, too.

[@GrandAdventure]

As do we, Joe -- thank you!

[@4blake]

Beautifully done video Marc!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Rod!

[@bubbahead255]

Don`t let them catch you flying drones in national parks! They look for KZbin video`s and can fine you around $1500

[@GrandAdventure]

That's why we don't. We're well versed on FAA and National Park Service rules and regulations. Nothing in this video involved filming with a drone in a National Park.

[@bertkelly7650]

Thanks Mark for another grand adventure I will never see in person.

[@GrandAdventure]

We're happy to have brought you there, Bert!

[@WhoaNellieRVAdventures]

I enjoyed seeing your perspective on an area we have traveled. Great job.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks so much, Lucy!

[@anessasmom]

Hi Marc!!!

[@GrandAdventure]

Right back at ya MAMA-NURSE!

[@GrandAdventure]

@Just Some Medic careful what you wish for, I've found infinite ways to get hurt. LOL!

[@anessasmom]

Just Some Medic that would be so amazing 😉

[@bruceh3786]

You did a beautiful job of putting all of that together. There looks to be a lot to do and see in Oregon. Crater Lake would be high on the list for me.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you so much as always, Bruce!

[@josephpessotti3876]

Rt. 101 from The Renwood Forest to the Hoh Rain Forest is a great ride.

[@keepredmondred]

Not "wall-o-whah" but "wa-louw-whah" Not "day-shutes" river, but "dih-shutes" river. Not "Wah-lau-met" or "Will-eh-met" but "Wih-lamm-it"

[@GrandAdventure]

That's what happens when you get a Utahn making a video about Oregon. ;)

[@gringo3009]

Beautiful state! I just hope the Portland sindrome doesn't spread throughout.

[@larry7463]

Great video of the great state of Oregon. But way too much, way too loud music! Completely distracts from the video. Get more surf sounds and sea bird sounds.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks for the feedback, Larry. Without the music, though, you'd be treated to long periods of silence (the drone shots don't record audio), wind noise, trucks driving past behind the camera, jackhammers, and all kinds of stuff you wouldn't expect. You can't always shoot in a quiet, pristine environment, but you can make it look like you did. 😉

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

I thought the music was wonderful, Marc!

[@GrandAdventure]

@@michaelfitzgerald434 thank you!
