Episode 2 | Hidden Horrors | Oregon Coast Trail 2022

[@naturalflow157]

Oregon has been my favourite place on earth. There are many places like Oregon, but nothing beats the people, hikers, great souls you get to meet while hiking, exploring, or just camping for weeks. Absolutely lovely and soothing video to watch after a long day of stressful work. Thank you and happy exploring.

[@gaylewalker4239]

Fun interesting times. Keep trekking. 😀

[@memathews]

Be sure to grab a tide chart at your next town so, they're usually in the fishing stores, little grocery stores, many restaurants, lots of places. The charts will tell you the safe times to hike the beach crossings under the headlands. Please be careful. Quite a few people die each year trying to guess the safe crossing times, they get swept out to sea and some bodies are never recovered. There are also dangerous logs on the beaches that will roll in high tide with an unexpected high wave. I witnessed one young woman does this way, crushed under a beach log that spun over in three or four inches of water.

Looks like so much fun 🤩 Enjoyed the video. I would have been scared to enter that bunker.

[@roberttrinies7698]

Looks like you skipped the whole Arch Cape trail,and Neakahanie(?spelling),was this intentional,or lack of information?

[@southernxtracts1619]

Did you find Chester Copperpot in the bunker.

[@chili1593]

The Oregon coast is gorgeous

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

Really enjoying the side Trail but I have to ask...... did you see one eyed Willy or Chunk?

[@OpenlyWannabeBarbi]

At 4:48 in the video, I see Moriahs pack and a PCT trail tag hanging off of it... Where did you get it? Love watching your journey! Thanks for all the great content!

[@paintingworlds]

Watch out for rip currents and sneaker waves.

[@blueboats7530]

Of course it's hard to watch for a sneaker wave, it's right in the name . . . one of my worst mistakes was walking out on a ledge in the surf zone, I was lucky.

[@ferretzfan]

Walking through that tide looked scary.

[@spockspock]

..and logs in the surf. They’re killers.

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

That is an old military battery they are all along the coastline

[@dianel958]

Cannon beach is my happy place. Haystock Rock is epic...you used to be able to climb all over it back in the day..thankfully for conservation purposes you can't anymore...if you can go to hug beach...its amazing and just up the coast. Love following your adventures!

[@melissakozyra1480]

has Truman done the whole PCT so far? Did he do the Sierra Nevadas?? Thinking of bring my dog on my PCT hike next year

[@blueboats7530]

Dogs are not allowed in the National Parks and many Wilderness areas, so the High Sierra is off the table anyway. Truman got off trail at Kennedy Meadows South and did not resume the PCT until Sonora Pass. Given the snow levels, river crossings and bad weather it was for the best anyway.

[@T_Mo271]

For future viewers, do not sea ford around the headland. Every year, people die doing that.

[@blueboats7530]

Yeah, no fallen trees to grab onto there

[@memathews]

I was going to say the same thing, too many people die each year in the coast by trying to cross at the wrong time. They need a tide chart.

[@unuversalhiker4341]

would you be up for an interview on Hikers Dream Show?

[@sam.and.moriah]

Please shoot us an email. There is an inquiry email address in our description. Thanks!

[@drakebonnellbonnell9045]

Thanks so much for the video. It’s expected to be in the 100’s this weekend in Fruita Co.. This hike looks so inviting as does ur town visits. Take care

[@LuckyLarry]

What is Truman gonna do without his new best friends? I think some separation anxiety is ahead for four of y’all….the chowder at Luna Sea Fish House Yatchats is awesome. Y’all will walk by it as the 804 sect of OCT WILL take y’all through neighborhood to the little villageFYI…there is a Dollar General right there on 101 for resupply.

[@marychambers7298]

I love following your journey what a great Tramily you have acquired💚😎

[@allencrider]

In 1968, my grandparents retired to Manzanita in a little 1 bedroom house and they paid just $18,500 cash for it.

[@jessetellez134]

Your videos keep getting better! FYI pay attention to the tides and you may find an app for that. You all are awesome!!

[@mistrplow]

Love this hike :) Be sure to stop on Pelican Brewing in Pacific City on your way down. Its a great spot :)

[@Andy-Mesa]

Pacific City is my favorite town on the Oregon coast.

[@kellyjohnson3617]

When I was a kid we camped right on the beach in cannon beach in the 70s before they built the town the way it looks today. We’d go clam digging for each or clams. They have some great coffee shops in CB. But the old haystack rock is really cool. It’s geologically from an eruption from the Yellowstone caldera. Pretty amazing volcanic rock. Much of the food in cannon beach is subpar cuz it’s too touristy. Our family got stuck in that same spot at high tide when I was a kid. My dad had to carry us kids across. Manzanita is where my uncle used to live. He lived right on the beach. My aunt lived at neakahnie. The puffins at haystack rock are pretty funny to watch fly. Nehalem is cool. Make sure not to miss clam chowder in tillamook at the sea food market across hwy 101 from the tillamook cheese factory. Snd you can get ice cream at the cheese factory. It’s called the Old Oregon Smokehouse.

[@sam.and.moriah]

Sounds like you had a great childhood! Cannon beach was very touristy but a fun town for us mountain folk haha. The rocks were so beautiful, we spent a lot of time watching the sea birds fly around it. You’re right, puffins are unmistakable and very silly looking when they fly! And unfortunately we missed the market at Tillamook, we were too full from all the ice cream and cheese!

[@michaelb1761]

You are really making this look like fun. When you get down to Yachats (pronounced like Yachts), I highly recommend Luna Sea Fish House for seafood and/or Yachats Brewing and Farmstore for beer and yummy fermented veggies, depending on what you want.

[@sam.and.moriah]

Sounds delicious, we love fermented foods!

[@marychambers7298]

You must go to Kyllo’s in Lincoln city it’s right on the beach amazing amazing food❤️ Best sunset dinner ever every seat in the house has a view it’s a must happy trails

[@SDSsongs]

There was a ton of good, actual trail you missed there hitching between Arch Cape and Manzanita. One of my favorite sections of the OCT.

[@sam.and.moriah]

Yeah, the Neakhanie section of trail has been closed since 2020 due to storm damage so we went around it

[@beyondbasecamp6716]

Neakhanie is closed from the North but you can do it from the south - and worth it! Also, the section just past Arch that goes out to Elk Flatts and Shortys is really neat trail - so many roots like steps!

[@beyondbasecamp6716]

The boat rides are fun :) I've hiked the OCT as far south as Newport. The diversity is definitely one of the neatest parts of it.

[@three-cats-photography]

So did you, like, dognap Truman from Cal and Lily?

[@three-cats-photography]

Maybe that's Cal crossing the surf with Truman at 8:00?

[@blueboats7530]

@@three-cats-photography Yes that is Cal in the surf with Truman

[@Andy-Mesa]

Yeah, tides are def a thing (same with the Lost Coast Trail). Cannon Beach has a lot of tourist traps with shitty chowder, even Mo's which is the place most people go to is only just okay.

[@pct2025]

Wasn’t expecting you guys to get in the water.. trail looks great.

[@susanlang8793]

Music is perfect!

[@PaulBeiser]

Fantastic! Making great time/distance even with all of the chowda 😀 stops. Kinda like European hiking in terms of being able to hit towns I can tell Moriah especially loves the hike!

[@blueboats7530]

There's no history for that WWII bunker because no Japanese ships ever came. There were surely worse duty postings, but imagine sitting there for months watching the ocean with nothing happening and no cell phones or internet.

[@oregonrain4249]

Oh... like Lewis and Clark long ago! 😀

[@blueboats7530]

@@oregonrain4249 Ya similar, but Lewis and Clark and team did not get food delivered, so they were in another depth of Disappointment . . .

You resemble Oregon Rain (hmmm sounds familiar) miserable. Hang in there Weatherman says dry weather coming. Oh, no ferries, just feet. 😀
