Free Camping Along Baker Lake, WA - Part 1

[@OutnBacker]

Baker Lake is a jewel. Been there many times on the primitive east side. No roads there so the neighbors are less unpredictable. Been a problem in recent years on the west side where the road is. Oh well... times are a-changin'

[@maxiemills6982]

I just watched my first video and I am hooked. I build a little teardrop this last year and plan on starting my adventure from my home in Spokane. So, till the snow melts, I'll be watching Bex!

[@cherylcoder4318]

Hi Bex, now you are in our area! Another beautiful and easy hike is the Baker River Trail on the north end of Baker Lake. If the weather lets us we will be hiking there next Tuesday. Your beautiful videos inspired us to go to Joshua Tree and Pinnacles. Both were amazing. It would be fun to meet you sometime...we have a tiny trailer very similar to yours and love to go.

[@BexCatherder]

Glad to hear you made it to JT and Pinnacles. Both wonderful places. Would love to meet up sometime, but I have already left the area. I left to go to Bend for Descend on Bend and now I'm back in California. If everything goes alright, I'm going to try to make it to RTR. ;-)

[@daniellestom5365]

I lived my whole life (up until age 37) in western Washington, and never have I seen it for the true beauty that it is, like how you’ve shown in your videos. I’m moving back home this June, after living in Hawai’i (Oahu) for seven years. I’m not going to lie, I was getting a little sad about coming back to 8-9 months of rain, but after watching this video, I’m now smiling about coming home and planning trips like this to explore and fully appreciate WA- it really is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! As always, I love your videography! 😃

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you so much! Washington (and Oregon) have so much beauty. I swear I could film there for a year and still miss half the state. :-)

[@debrapottenger3023]

You always find the most beautifull places and your skill with the video camera is faultless!! TY for taking us with you!

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you so much, Debra! :-)

[@StoneyCrow]

My family and I love camping at baker lake, so much to do, from rock hunting blue agates to chilling in the hot springs after a day of hiking! beautiful place

[@SkepticalRaptor]

Wow, that scenery would clear my mind of all stress for a while. I love the glaciers off in the distance. All of it makes me feel relaxed.

[@BexCatherder]

The views around there are extremely relaxing. Really loved being there. :-)

[@denaredford6701]

Watching your video is always a Minnie vacation . The scenery is always good , great tour guide Bex . Thank you

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you, Dena! :-)

[@lorismith3072]

Incredible vistas, Bex. And that night sky...wow.

[@BexCatherder]

It was an amazing place. :-)

[@DoodlebugsDream]

Just phenomenally beautiful, you seem to always find the most amazing places. Seriously, I got goosebumps watching the time-lapse scenes...and the view at Baker Lake and Shucksan from the top - ohhhh wow. Like a painting. Thanks so much for sharing the best bits with us, Bex.

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you so much! I would like to camp in that spot sometime and wake up to the first sun shining on Mt Baker. :-)

[@prairieusa]

Beautiful landscape and photography, as always. Your videos always take me on vacation. Thank you, Bex!!! BTW, LOVE the night sky in this video. Great capture.

[@vanessa8nine10]

[@mauricepowers3804]

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you! I feel like it all nature and I really have nothing to do except hit the record button. :-)

[@mauricepowers3804]

Bex Cat-herder I know what you mean, but you have a very good eye for the right shot. I am an artist and your vids are art to me. ⛺

[@MaryLouTido]

That view though....it makes my heart sing!

[@trails4all]

I've spent a lot of time there and I am impressed you didn't mention the bugs

[@BexCatherder]

Very few bugs when I was there. Really spectacular area!

[@RonVanLife]

[@randymoffitt6532]

Love the spirit adventure you inspire.

[@thaitravels5871]

I’d have a hard time leaving that beautiful spot...looking forward to part 2.

[@BexCatherder]

It was hard to leave. I would have stayed longer but had to be somewhere for a meetup. :-)

[@markreynolds3850]

Beautiful place to camp. Thanks for sharing this.p

[@denaredford6701]

You should gather some chanterelles mushrooms Bex.

[@lovemind8466]

I just started following you this evening.. Love that view there. I can't wait to watch more of your content Love your little camper Me & my BF are trying to find 1 a little bigger then that.. So we can get out there as well.. But that 1 would be just fine for me..Anyways Safe & fun travels

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you! The 16 foot Scamps or Casitas are really nice. Good luck on your search.

[@nancywalton55]

Another great video Bex ... I hope one day when I finally hit the open road, I can meet up with all you gals. So enjoy watching everyone's traveling experiences. Yours especially. Your videos are exceptional. ♡

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you! I do try to make the best home movies I can. :-)

[@DFDuck55]

What a lovely area. Don't think I've ever been there, had to look it up on the map to see where it is. I've been thinking for some years now that I would like to move to Washington, or Oregon since that's where my dad lives. Most any place out of California really.

[@BexCatherder]

Oregon and Washington have so much incredibly beauty. I could seriously film there for a year and still miss a lot. :-)

[@ginocolaccino5847]

Hey Bex, very cool video. Mt. Baker looked awesome. It's too bad you couldn't of gotten your tiny camper up to that spot. Enjoy your travels...G

[@BexCatherder]

Mt Baker is a majestic mountain for sure. I could probably get my camper up there, but the roads are pretty bumpy and that's a little more wear and tear than I'm willing to put on my tiny home. ;-)

[@wongisright]

Wonderful solo editing Bex! Would you mind sharing which Forest Road you drove up for that Shucksan view?

[@Eddy1969]

Another great video, I'm jealous! Not much to see here in Chicago but I ride the bike trails every chance I get. That's the only time I have to relax and clear my mind. Hopefully soon I like to do what you're doing possibly in the next 10 years or so.

[@BexCatherder]

I used to ride my bike all the time to clear my mind. I love riding!

[@Eddy1969]

Bex Cat-herder you should bring a bike with you. At least a foldable.

[@daphnephelps294]

Pretty snowcaps!

[@tlsnana9539]

Amazing!! Welcome back. You make me look forward to retiring so I can travel with my son. 👍

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you!

[@robinengland5799]

Beautiful Bex, I see why everyone wants to live in Washington state!!!

[@BexCatherder]

The Pacific Northwest is pretty amazing. I really want to go further east, but there is so much I haven't seen on the left coast still. ;-)

[@robinengland5799]

We live in western North Carolina, and it’s very beautiful, just not as open as the west! Hope you get to come east sometime!

[@cathy308308]

I loved your video. Such a beautiful place. Wish I were free like you.

[@BexCatherder]

[@1hjehje]

That's a beautiful area and you did a great job on the video.

[@BexCatherder]

[@morethantheeyesees]

[@kennethhudson8013]

You need a 4 wheel drive, all the back roads you like to visit.

[@BexCatherder]

I do have a 4 wheel drive! ;-)

[@davidcolburn5760]

Beautiful scenery Bex !

[@karenrector8187]

Bout time you posted a video Bex, been waiting

[@BexCatherder]

;-)

[@kennyc388]

Another nice video from Bex. Northern Washington State is so beautiful. I think about your little Petey most all the time. He was so great.

[@BexCatherder]

Yes, there was beauty in all directions. I really enjoyed just sitting by the lake. :-)

[@dollymando]

I miss him too

[@nickanderson4298]

That's so beautiful thank you for sharing. May I ask what fs rd that was.

[@moondancer5115]

There's just something about a Bex video. I love your work so much😏as another viewer mentioned, you're giving me itchy feet❤

[@bul-tf2mt]

O my gosh very goood camping

[@13Hangfire]

Awesome views:)

[@jonathankelley5174]

Hey! Great video. Where was that lookout spot you drove to? Is that easy to find?

[@aliceandtheninjacats]

And why I love the PNW! Awesome view! ❤️❤️

[@BexCatherder]

Yes, there is so much beauty in the PNW!

[@jonesbluesandjam]

Beautiful!!

[@BexCatherder]

;-)

[@EatCarbs]

Very nice Thanks for the video

[@laudalady61]

Beautiful!

[@watermain48]

I really enjoy your channel. This looks like a gorgeous spot to camp. How would you assess the access for a larger trailer? Ours is a 25' fifth wheel. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@BexCatherder]

I don't think you could get that big of a trailer to the campsite I was at. But there are a bunch of other campgrounds around the lake that have bigger spots. Most of them are not free though. But Baker Lake is worth a visit for sure. :-)

[@watermain48]

i believe we'll add it to our list of spots to check out. Thanks again.

[@johnallen470]

very nice.

[@BexCatherder]

:-)

[@AdventureswithJane]

Wonderful! Brilliant works as always! 😊 --Mark

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you, Mark! :-)

[@silentsam425tha1]

I would love to go to this campsite..would love to know where it is if you are willing to share...gorgeous area!

[@BexCatherder]

There is a link in the description to the campsite! :-)

[@sisterearth]

Such a beautiful space! Thanks for sharing.★peaceful travels

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you! :-)

[@justvincez1]

Be visible the sign reads, but your clothes blend in with the surrounding. Luckily you didn't get shot.

[@BexCatherder]

LOL! :-D

[@chrisbuchanan1193]

This is one of your best videos. Music great, time lapse great. Do you use an iPhone solely? Go pro? Thsnks

[@salsworkshop9941]

Wow outstanding bew

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you! :-)

[@dennism6664]

Superb!

[@BexCatherder]

:-)

[@e.d.9281]

Love your videos. However, I am curious, if all circumstances were in order what would you purchase at this stage of your journey? Would it be a van or another travel trailer and which make and model? Thanks, I truly would love to hear your response.

[@BexCatherder]

I would get a Casita 17 and a small pickup with a shell over the bed to keep stuff dry. I love staying in an area for several days and being able to set up home base and then go out and explore is the area. I don't want to have to take everything I own with me all the time just to do a hike or go into town. :-)

[@e.d.9281]

Bex Cat-herder Thanks. Stay safe.

[@premsaiyadagiri8331]

Hi, Bec Awesome video and incredible view. Do I need to make any reservation for the camp site and is the camp fire allowed.

[@premsaiyadagiri8331]

Your input will be greatly helped

[@Talno971]

I love your youtube account. If you ever have a few moments I would like to pick your brain a bit. I was wondering a lot of things. Thanks for your awesome content!! Be well!

[@melyant81]

What kind of shape is that service road usually? Would you need a four wheel drive?

[@BexCatherder]

No 4X4 needed. The roads can be a bit bumpy in spots, but are usually fine for any car. You just may have to go slow in spots.

[@melyant81]

Bex Cat-herder great thanks

[@irgod32]

Did you go fishing? Tell me you did some fishing!

[@BexCatherder]

I don't have a fishing pole. :-(

[@CDubsJourney]

Yes on the amazing! :-)

[@BexCatherder]

Just driving up the road and seeing the mountain in the distance was amazing. :-)

[@docholiday6421]

Lets climb it ...bex ..just d0 it ...

[@mauricepowers3804]

I don't think part 2 came up for me to click on...

[@BexCatherder]

I'll upload part 2 tomorrow. ;-)

[@mauricepowers3804]

Bex Cat-herder no problem...i look forward to.☺

[@TheGlampingGuys]

Beautiful! 🌈🌈

[@BexCatherder]

It certainly was! :-)

[@Japhill75]

Bex .... really with those views. You have to stop this. I work a boring job and your giving me itchy feet...! Lol

[@BexCatherder]

This was a place where the views just would not stop. It was wonderful. :-)
