[@JarheadAndGingersJourney]

Dear Dan, I greatly enjoy your videos and respect your right to have 'YOUR OWN THOUGHTS" but when you call something "garbage" that you haven't fully experienced I must now rake you over the coals. Having been to Cape Lookout and gone up in the lighthouse has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Yes we did have fog the first time we tried to see the lighthouse, but we came back the next day and received our great reward for our effort. The views were awesome and to have the honor to climb the steps of the lighthouse and stand next to the lighthouse lens was an experience to cherish for life. The view from the top of the lighthouse was breathtaking and would have left Jen in total awe. The people who volunteer to work at this place are fantastic, and I envy them for their "office views". When you called this place garbage, you not only disrespected the place but the people that work there. I hope you will try to come back on a clear day to see my point of view. If you do I want to see a video of the event and know how many times Jen hits you for being so wrong. Please, when you call something garbage, express that the thoughts are yours and yours only. For as you well know, ones persons trash is another's treasure.

[@DanJen]

I stand by my assessment. Garbage!

[@ronaldw.1317]

Thank you for the fast reply. I respect your opinion, but am a bit curious to know why your assessment of this place is garbage. Also your video of you crabbing was very enjoyable and educational. Thank you again for all your excellent videos.

[@DanJen]

I’m joking.

[@janiepeavey6506]

What a great video!! You guys are too funny!!

[@TheDionysius57]

Thank you for video....beautiful scenery.

[@Debbie_T_FL]

Beautiful video of the beaches. And that cool tree. Hope we get there soon 😊

[@dennislinn9151]

Enjoyed watching you craving. Never have seen it before.

[@JJacks920]

Don't you just love the Oregon coast... We are definitely spoiled here in Oregon by our gorgeous beaches.

[@Karen0862]

Cape Kiwanda is always just so crowded. And we liked the octopus tree.

[@DanJen]

Pacific City and Cape Kiwanda are a hot mess. Way too many people.

[@Karen0862]

@@DanJen yep. Best thing about that area are the trails you can take to get away from them people. It is pretty, it's just pretty crowded too.

[@JJacks920]

Only in July and August.

[@charlesgregory9976]

I go crabing at Netarts every year (near your location) always get our limit. Just the best of times. Thanks guys.

[@FiveFindFreedom]

We always go there and that tunnel is always so dark! Our kids always love it.

[@dennysisk6260]

Love the videos looks like a great place to visit

[@AvengerRVAdventure]

Beautiful area. We use to have fun catching crabs but we didn't use anything like that. From what I remember, you would need 10 blue crabs for a 1 person meal. Thanks for sharing! 😀 Steve

[@nancyf52]

Beautiful beaches. To bad all those crabs were females. I love crab. Stay safe and enjoy!

[@TomandLoriRVLife]

Love the area!

[@darlagarner8889]

If you’re ever in San Simeon, California area, home of Hearst Castle, check out the elephant seal beach, literally 1,000s of elephant seals, sometimes you catch them fighting, it’s AMAZING!, Hearst Castle is too!

[@nonrevhogan8938]

That was cool crab hunting. I used to catch with chicken off the dock with a line. And of coarse the crab pots but was fun to try to get them holding on and net em. Thats a cool contraption to snag em. Too bad u couldn't get a few. Love crabs. Cant believe how expensive they are now. Great beach.

[@toddswenson]

Sea-lie-al Just saying. Thank you for all the great videos. Oh and I started this video yesterday, Wednesday and had to continue it today, Thursday not knowing that it spanned 2 days. I stopped it exactly in the right spot and then you started again with "it's tomorrow, Thursday". Freaky dude!

[@WanderLost]

So badly want to explore the west coast! Can’t wait until we can get out there!

[@twdenman1]

Thank you for sharing this video. In my opinion this part of the Oregon coast is the prettiest section of RT 101. We drove the beach from CG.

[@bridgetmachida4317]

Great video! I LOVE the Octopus tree! Don’t dis trees, Dan! Lol. Richard was the same way, I’ll go sit in the car while you walk over there.....Sorry you didn’t get much crab. I think I’ll get mine on Friday at the crab shack here, lol.

[@DanJen]

Sorry. Maybe if it was a tree octopus I'd be impressed, but octopus trees are boring.

[@mnmandthegang]

Great video, those crabs look GOOD! that would have been an excellent meal! we are heading there Sept. 1st

[@travelingmertonandsue]

What a Beautiful video good job. We really enjoyed it. >Merton

[@ftkinsella]

Those beaches look so beautiful and the sound at the start of the ocean was amazing. Thanks for taking us along on your travels. Nice strike Dan, very sharp I must say. Take care guys. Cheers!!!

[@steveturner3546]

If you get down to Reedsport check out Winchester Bay my favorite RV park.

[@WanderLost]

“Hi, by the way” -Jen 😁😂. Hi!! 😂

[@bobmakow55]

Beautiful beach, love Dan’s LCD comment. Don’t get so upset Jen. Interested to know what advice the raven had.

[@n1uno1965]

Question: Do crabs hit or jerk a line like a fish does? Very cool content 👍🏻 🦀 thanks for showing us how to crab! In the future could you maybe share how you clean and cook crab?

[@DanJen]

No, but they do move the snare around a bit and you can see the rod tip bounce.

[@DesertAdventuresinArizona]

Looks beautiful! Never have been to Oregon beaches. Gotta go! Do you need a fishing license to catch crab?

[@JJacks920]

Yes

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

We just went crabbing last weekend. I would love to forage, especially for seafood. What are you using for bait? Do you think the snare trap would work with a rope instead of a fishing rod? Lou & Angie

[@DanJen]

Not sure the rope would work. If you don't keep tension on the snare, the loops will loosen and the crabs would escape. We use chicken gizzards for bait. Crabs love them.

[@davidmcconnell8690]

:-)))) :-))))

[@jkidd2007]

If "amazing" is annoying to you (not me), try "astonishing, astounding, surprising, bewildering, stunning, staggering, shocking, startling, stupefying, breathtaking, perplexing, confounding, dismaying, disconcerting, shattering. awesome, awe-inspiring, sensational, remarkable, spectacular, stupendous, phenomenal, prodigious, extraordinary, incredible, unbelievable."

[@fancytravels1123]

We could still hear you if you turn the camera away from you so we could see the scenery... just sayin

[@DanJen]

But KZbin rules require my head fill at least 20% of the screen. Sorry, not my idea.
