Making Coffee Under the Megler Bridge ~ A Day in My SUV Cooking at the Beach ~

[@amydeloria9414]

Hello! I am so inspired to come across your channel tonight. I have been watching so many van life videos. It's my dream to get on the road in August of 2023 after I retire from my 34 year career as a teacher. Life has been good and I am looking forward to the next chapter and making plans by watching brave folks like you to! Getting lots of ideas for my own adventures. Perhaps we'll meet on the road! Blessings to you on your journey!

[@NinthElement]

YAY! for Freedom. Thanks for hopping on board, and I will see you down the road. Cheers!

[@doramather4729]

Wow, the beach was awesome, beautiful and looks like you had fun playing in the sand.❤😊

[@NinthElement]

Oregon has the prettiest beaches. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Cheers!

[@anneparisi1828]

Thank you Anne. Amongst the fires and smoke I did have a beautiful trip. Cheers!

I like how the border guard let you go in 30 seconds.....You are so so cool, awesome setup with the Element too! I subbed and liked, could you please consider doing more videos of you cooking outside? I enjoy watching van lifers cook, talk, eat, chill.

[@NinthElement]

The border patrol going both ways is ALWAYS very lovely to me. Cooking videos are coming just for you! Cheers!

Hey Mandy! I saw you with my other fave vanlifer @winterisblue . I don't eat meat, but the pumpkin spiced chicken wings and convo were totally on point.

[@NinthElement]

Hi and welcome to my channel. Thanks for watching Mateo and I, that was a fun time in the desert. Cheers!

[@Lisakaylindsay256]

Great video! I found you from your meeting up with Nikki Delventhal. Fun following your adventures in Oregon. Beautiful place! I live in Washington. Someday I’ll do the same.

[@NinthElement]

Hi Lisa, thank you for coming by and joining. The road life is a fun one for sure. Cheers!

[@Zoomdak]

Lovely to see you travel from your home to my home on the Oregon Coast!

[@NinthElement]

It has been my home for 20 years now, and I just can't leave it for very long. Maybe we will see each other down the road. Honk and say Hi, Cheers!

[@Zoomdak]

@@NinthElement Will do! Cheers!

[@SheTookTheLongWayHome]

I love that spot there under the Astoria-Megler bridge! You're hitting all my regular spots and stops. That WAS a lot showing of the Peter Iredale shipwreck! I've never seen it so exposed like that!

[@NinthElement]

This is one of my top favorite spots in Oregon. Cheers!

[@SheTookTheLongWayHome]

@@NinthElement I noticed that other Element there toward the end. Did you chat with them (or maybe know them from your Element meetups)?

[@NinthElement]

I wished them a "Good Morning and Nice Car" lol!

[@SheTookTheLongWayHome]

@@NinthElement You Element owners are such a tightknit community, I always think you must know every one you see lol

[@NinthElement]

I like to think of our community as open and welcoming. We are growing as a community but it more like the days of VW gatherings, vibe. Cheers!

[@lilivicordero8077]

Awesome video ❤

[@NinthElement]

Glad you liked it, Cheers!

[@LindzHellstrom]

Heythere cheers ! Wonderful wonders & wanders!!! Head,Spirt & Soul fired❤!

[@NinthElement]

Hi Lindz, Happy Friday to you as well. Cheers!

[@mathforfun1465]

Mindy, Thank you for sharing the Canadian coast. I lived in Vancouver for a year and enjoyed the people and city very much. Great people 😊 Enjoy the Oregon coast ❤

[@NinthElement]

BC is stunning. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@Karatemom68x3]

What a cool beach and shipwreck!! Beautiful relaxing day, for some reason, driving on the beach seems like it would be so freeing!!! Maybe because it feels like your not supposed to drive on the beach and when you do and “ get away with it” it feels like you got away with something 🤣😜

[@NinthElement]

This was a fun day, thanks for watching on the replay. Cheers!

[@douglashoward5738]

Malabo Barbie has nothing on you Mindy😂 Great beach day! Welcome home!!😊

[@NinthElement]

So cute! Thank you Douglas. Cheers!

[@beckydibenedetto4351]

Have you ever traveled to Helen Ga. If not, it's a cute little town to check out.

[@NinthElement]

I am going to look that up. I drove through GA last year on my way to Florida and had Low Country Boil, it was amazing. Cheers!

[@suezaple4950]

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

Wow 😊😮 you were in Astoria? I live just across that big bridge

[@NinthElement]

You live in heaven! Cheers!

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

@@NinthElement I sometimes take it for granted due to the crappy weather and small town feel lol 😆 have you ever been across? Long Beach is right over that bridge

[@NinthElement]

That is why there is the Southwest and Florida for Winter. lol! Cheers! p.s. I was on Long Beach in the 70's. it is on my list.
