I Love This Free Campground! CoffeePot Lake VanLife On the Road

[@Tom-jx9rb]

Great video. Beautiful nature shots.

[@elflordsjourneys]

I think it would be a blast spending a month exploring each state,our country is so diverse and each state has something interesting to see.😀 ✌

[@mrich3879]

Nothing more frustrating than fishing all day without a nibble and watching the Osprey pluck fish after fish out of the water like they are showing off...they are indeed great birdwatching. Kingfishers are fun to watch someties too.

[@pegslifeontheroad7709]

Hi Brian, again thank you fr bringing us all along on your journey! I wanted to say one thing that reoccurs on your comments about the size of your home not being big enough. I have an old friend that did monthly journeys in a van like yours (well it was back in the 80's but dodge did not change these) and he had a solution to his small space. If he was going to spend more than a day in a camp (not a city street) he had a tent that attached to his van ( I see lots of westy people use these but not US van people) , the main purpose was two fold. He liked to stand up to get dressed and stretch in the morning and secondly it provided a second layer of protection between his van and bugs/critters that may stop by in the night. The old one he bought back in the day was canvas and did deaden the sound due to the weight of the canvas , these I don't think they make anymore (JC Whitney sold them for years). I did find some nice ones from ARB where you can attach the awning and use for shade and then buy a few different attachments to make into a screen room or a full tent. Your van is able to get into some tight spaces that if you had a box van you may not , I think you have a pretty sweet deal now and thought you might want to look at easier ways to double your living space. Thats my 2 cents. Good travels! Richard

[@Gpacharlie]

Watching an Osprey catch a fish should be on everyone’s bucket list.

[@susitarita]

I did not know that the terrain in Washington was so diverse, now I know. This little lake is beautiful, so glad you stumbled upon it. Poor little Fluffy, but a great final resting place.

[@ChonkBob]

Your videos could be of you staring at some grass and *we* would watch them Brian! Old abandoned structures are amazing. Especially thinking about what the people were like that built/used them in that era, what it was used for originally, how the land looked etc. Love it

[@MrWinger1951]

A single video of yours is more rewarding than ten of the other so called "on the road" video sites.

[@daredare890]

Hi Brian. That whole ares is called "The Scab Lands". It was formed by Lake Masula MO ice dam breaching at the end of last ice age. That cliff was a huge water fall when the flood happened. Wonderful area. Nice vlog again. Thank you.

[@mtwomn8940]

That is lake Missoula.

[@ramblingrose7375]

Enjoy your vids so much. You are a great teacher, learned so much from you. Love your unencumbered lifestyle, simple comforts with lots of freedom. Your drone shots are excellent. Have fun at the beet harvest! Blessings.....

[@LostOnLandAgain]

That's a place time forgot. Very fun exploring it with you. That moon was awesome! Be safe out there.

[@NoProGoPronto]

What an awesome day of exploration. I too love old abandoned structures. They have so much charm. Beautiful shot of the red/orange moon. You're the best Brian ✔️

[@kawaikui]

Thank you for this breathtakingly beautiful video! The shots of the moon is the icing on the cake. Stay safe and happy . . .

[@1sillygirl380]

Brian, I always look forward to your video logs. You never disappoint...Safe travels

[@stanthecomputerman]

National Geographic-> Hosted by AdventureVanMan Brian! Glad you pulled out the drone, I wanted to see the contour of the lake. Great video! Keep them coming. Safe travels.

[@stephenolaughlin6595]

Well the wifey is hooked on adventure van man now. Best of luck to you getting to & working thru Sugar Beet Harvest, & as always thanks for sharing 👍🚐

[@visualtraveler5263]

That's an amazing place there Brian. Excellent capture of the wildlife there. It's amazing how peaceful places like that exists, in a world of so much war and trouble. ..enjoyed it much. Stay safe,.peace. ✌

[@jerrybailey1980]

Yes... Washington's a pretty cool state... Little bit of everything .... Glad that you enjoyed it Brian. Take Care

[@jrandyoutdoors]

Great vid Brian. We always love your content. Nature is BEAUTIFUL! Thanks man for allowing us to enjoy your journey with you. Safe travels and hopefully one day we will be able to meet up. Pray for us down here in South Georgia and the folk in Florida as we get ready to endure this massive storm that is approaching. Blessings!

[@TheBeardedGrump]

Stay safe. Like you said hopefully the wildfires will be over with soon. Safe travels and keep living the dream!

[@jimrodda]

Great video again Brian, here in the UK the Osprey ( fish hawk) is a protected species, hopefully they will once again be back to larger numbers.

[@road.tripper]

Stunning video. We have a lot of smoke here in Vancouver this past few days. It's terrible. I can't imagine what it's like for all those living close!

[@vonrollveeg]

Beautiful! Thanks. Your videos are always great. I appreciate them very much. Keep up the good work.

[@dreamzofhorses]

Amazing gift of wildlife and wild adventure! Love the exploration. Perhaps it was a camp used by cowboys herding cattle, they often had camps they stopped at overnight as they moved herds from one place to another, and yes they would corral their horses too. Just a guess. Very cool. Seeing the wildlife would be a favorite for me. Thanks for sharing!

[@grandmamaonthego2849]

you do such an amazing job of taking us along and showing us where we may want to go. you are my favorite to watch😉😉 thanks!!!

[@Maraaha55]

thanks, Brian. A beautiful and fascinating spot and excellent filming. surely not that simple really, but simple is good.

[@maryd253]

I’ve camped all over that area. I love it.

[@cactitat]

Beautiful photography Brian! Thanks for sharing!

[@4Score747]

Maybe that little water hole where the shelter with insulation was, perhaps an old Hot Spring. Beautiful area!! 🦋🦋🦋🦋✌🏻

[@nancychapa6417]

love the sights you find' mountains shades blue waters very unique like you say😎

[@mohdfiruzbinali2368]

coffee pot lake campground a very peaceful camping ground with nature beauty and diversity! I love this place!! stay safe!

[@AnnMitt]

My favorite video so far. 👍🤗

[@buckreynolds1779]

pleasure watching your videos, thanks and be careful out there

[@TheGlampingGuys]

Beautiful Campground! ⛰⛺️🌲 Thanks for sharing Brian! Peace! 🌈🌈

[@laceyman1938]

Great video Brian. I lived nearby in the fifties & sixties & have spent much time on the lake.

[@kodeywhitewolf8528]

WOW That snake skin looks like it's in good shape....Scenery is awesome

[@skythefoodie4389]

a air up paddle board would be perfect for your situation they fold up real small and you can put a seat on them and sit down paddle like a kayak. love the videos as usual.

[@janrantoo2213]

At 1st glance of your spot, I was meh...nothing special. Thank you for exploring the area and reaching out for all that hidden beauty! There's a lesson in that for me!

[@GRAMMIEDEBI]

You had me at COFFEE POT...LOL 😁✋💟👍📱

[@justaroundthebend6679]

WOW!... That is a Awesome Spot!.... Yep be Careful out there.... I am like you I love looking at old stuff and just wondering how it was when people were there and what kind of life they must of had or what they were doing.. Pretty cool....

[@LaramieJim]

The old ruins may have been the spring for campground water faucets. Cool place, drink coffee at Coffee pot lake!

[@ingamoon6663]

I've put that place on my bucket list. All I can say is WOW! One of the most scenic places I've seen. Thanks so much for sharing your travels.

[@user-ld7uj9pv8e]

So much gorgeous scenery.... your recent journeys have been so utterly stunning... loving coming along ....thanks Brian 😀

[@fernwehforevertearofjoy409]

Gorgeous landscape☺ and you left ME wondering & imagining the previous history in that area. Your voice reflected the effects of the smoke; at first, I thought you had another cold. So concerned for so many in this country; between Harvey, the numerous fires, and now Hurricane Irma plotting her damage to ALL of us in FL, one has to wonder WHAT IS GOING ON!!! It'll be so good for yout to move to clearer air. Safe journey, Brian!

[@mtwomn8940]

Haven't breathed any clean air in over two months. Ready for the winter rains.

[@bethmay191]

I love coffee so that campground would be for me. 😀

[@glennrubel4326]

Great exploring...keep it up.

[@BlaneysChannel]

The beets are waiting. I hope you make a bunch of money this year. I have 3 weekends of this Adventureland left. I'm ready for it to be over. I can understand why you didn't like this job. Some good videos came out of your northwest travels. Memories for a lifetime.

[@sc1212able]

Outstanding video production, wish you had a Patreon account, we love supporting your work, very deserving.

[@deborahfedas1753]

Another awesome video! So beautiful. Yes I think it would be a good idea to get away from the wildfires. Safe travels Brian.

[@malnicka41]

This video is a gem! I love to see all the details you put into it. Animals, bugs, Sun, Moon, Lay of the land and the site, and cool old structures. All the stuff I am interested in about a place. Thanks for sharing:)

[@SarahTree]

Love love love it! What an amazing place! There's another camp to put on my list. Keep it up Brian! Great work man.

[@KristoferTravelsHomesteading]

Amazing views

[@JaniceLalla]

Such a wonderful video, I am going to share this with my friends on FB to show them how beautifully you capture your surroundings and why I watch videos like you and other KZbinrs make!

[@lyndpnlea]

Great video safe travels Brian,thanks for sharing

[@PapaT-NM]

That's a part of my beautiful country I've never been. Thanks for sharing .

[@sisterearth]

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful space. ★peaceful weekend so

[@naturegalpics]

GLORIOUS video....Loved everything about it. I am an avid birder so the Osprey activity was interesting. Music and drone views were great😊So glad you follow your instinct to explore further...amazing the wonder So close!

[@mtwomn8940]

Wanted to go some place this past weekend but had no plans. Was hoping to get out of the smoke. Saw your videos on Wednesday and Friday so figured I would go find Coffeepot Lake. It is only a two hour drive. Really enjoyed my two days just listening to nature and walking around. Parked one down from your spot. Only one other camper there all weekend. Thank you for giving us ideas. No one I talked to today had ever heard of Coffeepot. It is a secret I am going to keep.

[@leann4925]

Awesome footage Brian and I too like finding abandon places. They do make you wonder what happened there. Great find. Do take care around the Smokey areas as not all to great for your health. Be safe my you tube friend and as always look forward to your next video. Spring, TX

[@safeharbor7]

Really nice job on your videography work Brian. Another beautiful place to add to the list. Thanks for blazing the trail for us brother. I'll be on the road in mid spring to start my adventure, can't wait... Thumbs up...

[@sueg2658]

Beautiful footage. Gosh, I'm so happy for you your not in the 9-5 rat race existing in a sticks and bricks. Safe happy trails. ❤️

[@msgettylee1]

Beautiful beautiful scenery thank you so much for sharing!

[@vivienne6004]

Great video, wonderful views of coffeepot lake. Thanks for showing it to us. Safe travels.

[@loafsandfishes5066]

Your timing couldn't be better, we're headed for Coffeepot TOMORROW and have been wondering what the water level is like. Two years ago the boat ramp dock was high and dry, we had to carry float tubes a long way to get to the water. Well worth the walk btw, there are huge trout in that lake, as must be evident by the presence of the ospreys. Interesting side note, Coffepot's just one of what used to be a string of lakes that made up "Lake Creek", still existing on the map. Unfortunately most of them have been sucked dry in the fifty years or so that wheat farmers have been withdrawing groundwater. Coffeepot, the Twins, and one other on private land are the only wet ones left and I suppose their days are numbered too.

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Fish on! I heard from a local Paradise Lake is back up also, it's been dry for many years and supposedly one of incest of all the lake's in the area. Have fun! 👍✌

[@loafsandfishes5066]

I don't know that one, are you sure you don't mean Pacific Lake? That WOULD be news, it's located at Lakeview Ranch and was a very popular spot for the locals when there was water. BLM still has a campground there and a dock now parked in the dry. They've more or less abandoned the buildings except for the barns they use for storage. There's a couple of water taps there btw, well water not certified for drinking but certainly good for a wash.

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Fish on! Sorry, yes Pacific. ✌

[@loafsandfishes5066]

Hot DAMN- just looked at WDFW's lowland lakes page and they've stocked it with catchable trout! First time since the '90's it's been fishable. I can't thank you enough, we wouldn't even have bothered to go there this time although the campground is pretty nice and we've used it in the past. There'll be a little something extra in your paypal account shortly, stand by to become the very first 'tuber I've ever bought stickers from.

[@mtwomn8940]

Fish on...Were you the one in the end spot with the pick-up camper and jeep?

[@courtneyhall7140]

great video brian,enjoy seeing the beautifull places.

[@janicepeck4828]

Thank you for another beautiful area...,moon in Washington . Someone's pet past so touching.. I had no idea or heard of Coffee Pot lake. The area is wide open as I prefer. Safe journeys and smokeless sky's..

[@ryanharris4223]

Very Cool! I have lived and explored Washington State my whole life... never been to this lake! I will add it to my list of new adventures. Thanks for sharing!

[@arnoldmendoza587]

What a great scenery! Good job Mr. Brian.

[@Margarita-0712]

The smoke made it to Vancouver Island too! Great video.

[@americanaxetoolco2076]

Great video ! You will run into fires in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming. Smoke is drifting south into Arizona as of today here in Prescott. Montana smoke is really bad. Might want to dip down into Wyoming as soon as you can where the smoke is not so bad..get east of there and you should be fine!. Remember don't fly your drone within 5 miles of a wildfire! TFR's Temporary Flight Restrictions go out on wildfires when aircraft is being used. Fines suck! Be safe on the road Bro! Peace!

[@gisellegonzalez4677]

Beautiful video, please be careful smoke and ash from the fires are worsening. Safe travels 🙏🏼

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

I've enjoyed the videos of Washington, and am looking forward to whatever is next.

[@faithhopelove4314]

Stay safe. I Don't think you will be getting away from the smoke going east. There are way more fires in Montana right now. Love the photography.

[@lainimitchell6312]

Very pleased to see you tour my home state of Washington. And especially that you actually came out into the eastern part. Usually the flashier west side is where everyone goes, but I feel like the scab lands and the desert areas have beauty to share. Very peaceful. Not sure if you made it over there, but Palouse Falls is something to see. Thank you again for sharing eastern WA with everyone. :)

[@CDubsJourney]

That place was amazing! As was your capture of it all. Safe travels! C

[@AprilMadden-Jam]

Great video, so many good shots of scenery... that moon... We'll be hitting the road in a couple of weeks, ready to get away from these fires too... be safe, happy trails.

[@maryhenrich1777]

Juniper berries behind you on bush tone blue,can be used in many things in cooking and store very good...

[@charlagarth926]

Absolutely stunning video. I love seeing things through your eyes.
