Pacific Coast Picker Vacation, 3000km trip from Ocean and Through Fires

[@thomascasalenuovo918]

Love the treasures, glad you made it safe.

[@ruglund]

dont know what I love more - the antique finds or the dad jokes :-)

[@stevewalsh7591]

Fun trip, love those Washington, Oregon roads.

[@mynameis9057]

it really is awesome all of those beautiful old homes are still in great shape! breaks my heart to see big ugly modern McPeople high rise boxes replacing what was a golden age of quality old school building craftsmanship, like your other video showed in downtown when you picked up the tons of books,tiger head cigar thingy and majolica lady from an old Venician palazzo. good stuff and great hunting! ☆☆☆

[@opinionatedoma9579]

I just love it when I find a video I've never seen. So glad to see that you guys got to come to Oregon and enjoy the Pacific NW!

[@skaarup33]

Melissa, you shouldn't feel bad. My mom she had it the same way. When we lived in Calgary, one of the road trips we took, we stopped off at this huge suspension bridge over a large river. I can't remember if it was in the area of Banff or if it was Jasper, you guys probably know which bridge I am talking about. It was fun when you ran over it, it felt like you were on the moon because it bounced. My mom crossed over to the other side but she didn't want return the same way because it was really really high up, tried to walk up and down the other side to try to find another way over the river. But sadly there was only that bridge. This trip was in the early 80's. I really miss Canada, in '96 we moved back to Denmark. Thank you for taking us with you on this trip.

[@kittentalons]

Hello from Long Beach, the former home of the Spruce Goose! Was surprised to see it 🛩 We still have the dome!

[@colroulette9337]

What a great trip!

[@denaredford6701]

Your kids are troopers .🥴 crunch no leg room . Thanks for the vacation .

[@sherisparks7757]

LOL , every kid needs to be burned by a metal playground slide. HAHA so true, childhood memories you live to tell about. A right of passage for us all . Love this adventure with you and your family! Thanks

[@rebeccaash2759]

Thanks for sharing your adventures with me I never get out to other states learning alot with your videos

[@frequencyfluxfandango8504]

Really enjoyed this and well edited, produced too.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

+JOHNNIE: LORD OF THE MungoidHen PEOPLE thanks Johnnie! Glad some of my other videos are starting to get some views ;)

[@jameslivingston8301]

Thank you Alex again!

[@jordynoleymom]

When I saw the giant wagon, my first thought was why didn’t I see this when I was there? And then you answered the question for me! I visited Spokane in 1988 before the wagon was built!

[@rosecity7488]

You should have gone to Astoria. I go every couple of months. They have great antique stores with extremely old curios. Plus the Goonies house is downtown.😀

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

I drove right past Astoria I would like to start next time maybe if I didn’t have the kids with me

[@jenniferdewald6149]

I haven’t been through that part of the country in quite a few years! I love Washington and Oregon and I’m glad your family got to have a good experience on vacation!

[@jimhall9624]

You found my favorite beach, I live in Portland and cannon beach is my favorite !

[@MrJeep75]

Lots of neat stuff to see in Astoria and all alone the Oregon coast

[@markduncan6690]

You speak of a problem? Yes I would call that a problem! Great music!

[@gosportjamie]

+mark duncan That's more than a problem, that looks more like an issue...

enjoying your video's, keep up the great work

[@415s30]

If you ever go through Red Lodge, MT you have to go to the Montana Candy Emporium, lot's of signs and antiques, Google it. The owner is a friend of the family, AND there is a huge motorcycle collection, not for the public (usually has a few upstairs) but maybe if you asked nicely. The owner rescued a Lynx and had that for years, you want interesting people, there you go! Beartooth Highway is amazing to drive as well.

[@misheedawn3214]

Ships wheel. Awesome!! I love the goonies!! Booty traps. Lol

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

The Pacific Northwest is such a gorgeous part of the world! I was born and raised just outside Vancouver BC..imagine my disappointment when dad moved the family to Las Vegas NV. palm trees don't allow for kewl tree forts haha. Our family did great road trips too. I kinda miss those daze

[@Furcorners]

I used one of those coin sorters when I was in high school. I worked in the vault of the local bank, where I sorted and rolled coins from the municipal parking meters -- lots of nickels and dimes! Coins are grungy! I didn't have much of a view in the vault, but I was indoors in the air-conditioning.

[@lindaraterink6451]

Tip for smokey cars. Put grinded coffee on the floors and seats over night if posible a day and then vacuum it out. No more smokey smell. It works.

[@haydendelena]

Love the drum

[@michaelbagley1265]

I saw the Spruce Goose when it was in Long Beach California. I also saw it when they were moving it out of the Dome it went to Oregon.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

That would have been quite the sight!

[@suerasley7237]

I was in the store you got the Native chief bank about 11 months before you trying to find kitchy things for my daughter's wedding. Didn't recognize the store front, but did a double take when you had the camera pointed north. I lived there for about 40 years and about ready to move back to good ole MSO. Glad the kids got to enjoy the carousel!

[@lynnedelacy2841]

I’m loving the travel videos I’m in the U.K. and you don’t get to see your part of the world that often . I have been to Canada once to Toronto which was described by a friend as ‘ New York built by the Swiss’ which I found to be accurate !

[@Momvon1]

Awesome road trip! My husband and I used to take road trips across the US with our kids when they were the same age as your boys. Best memories ever ❤️ I love your videos I wish I could visit your store but I have no passport😖. I do love junk store's and sale's and antique stores. I've been sharing your videos and website. Hey feel free to send me a vehicle painted with all your advertisement on it lol. But seriously I drive all over the East Coast from New York to Florida. I live in Ohio but we have family up and down the East coast and drive alot that's how you find the good stuff!!

[@alucius78]

I love the Goonies and can't wait for Goonies 2 to be released.

[@susannaCdonovan23]

Lincoln City is beautiful. I live in Portland. You didn't do much in Portland Alex. Canon Beach is a favorite too!

[@kurtklein4299]

Great video Alex. During my military experience I was stationed in Spokane at the Air Force Base there. And I used to watch the SR-71 takeoff when stationed in Okinawa Japan. Your video brought back many great memories of my Military Days. And oh yeah you got some great stuff also. You're too much like me for I would also plan a vacation and do work. Take care and thanks Kurt.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Yes it’s a tough balance between vacation and hunting ;)

[@mikewiebers8814]

paulg Well said!

[@mikep4823]

Its been a while you were there but actually that massive plane was the Hercules but they made fun of it with the name Spruce Goose. It made Mr Hughes furious as it was an insult to what his vision was.

[@Jane_Dow]

Funny.... My neighbor ( now passed, but not forgotten ) told us stories of working on the Spruce Goose. It's nice to know where the plane is now. P.S. we're in Ft.Worth, Texas

[@angieando3376]

I wish I lived closer... I would love to mooch around your store...

[@paulanull8731]

The plywood used in the Spruce Goose was made in Mellen, Wi at the plywood mill there. The mill where it was made is still working making plywood. It's name has changed so often I cannot recall what it was named back then. I have several pieces of furniture built by my mother in law from scrap pieces or panels too damaged to sell. She built all her kitchen cabinets from the "waste" plywood and also made wooden fruit boxes into storage pieces (have a few or ten.) For the town the Spruce Goose is part of its proud history providing materials for the war effort during WWII.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Very cool!

[@kimberlycolliins3335]

VULCAN PUNCTURE REPAIRS ON PUSH BIKES we used it in 1980's. It was the best:)

[@randeljohnson9048]

Just found your channel. Like the videos.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

+Randel Johnson thanks For watching!

[@MrJeep75]

Free Willy, Goonies, kindergarten cop, short circuit are just a few filmed in Astoria

[@sarahrup9895]

Thank you for pronouncing Spokane correctly! Lol

[@thomasroberts9752]

Hey Sugary donoughnuts and a 3 k mile road trip....sounds like fun..hahahahaha did the 3 kids keep you awake at the wheel lol

[@traceybradshaw]

As soon as I saw where you were going I was hoping you’d hit Goonies territory - my all time favourite film! I grew up obsessed with mysteries and adventures, starting with The Famous Five, Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys... The PNW is on our list for a USA trip for a very similar itinerary. We plan to include a visit to family in Medicine Hat and have added Edmonton to visit Curiosity Inc!

[@vilstef6988]

I saw the spruce goose when it was still in Long Beach.

[@thatsmallrockshop]

Too funny i have some of those suncrest bottles with the exact same logo.

[@rosewhite---]

Helena is Elmer Keith town.

[@susanadams290]

My 1st Cousin was on the team of engineers that designed the moon rover.

[@canadiancatgreen]

Cool tripWhat's that doughnut place called?You missed a great car musseum in Tacoma it has 2 parts the museum and family collection it is called Le May I think. In Seattle there is a cool restaurant called Derby it has a large car storage area next to it with old cars. There is a small area you can go in too

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

I’ll have to go back to that museum!

[@canadiancatgreen]

There is one in Tappin Bc White Postit is called I never been there but I know they sell cars too

[@tracyclingings2531]

Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland. 😊

[@allenthomas1738]

I live in montg.ala. where the wright bros.started at maxwell feild..still named that and the air war college of the usa..cool..cowboy..

[@theconundrumnut5921]

Did you see the Astor column in Astoria? It's pretty sweet!

[@mildredpierce4506]

I hated that I never got to see the Spruce Goose when it was in Long Beach California. Sometimes we think things will always be. I thought the Spruce Goose would always be in Long Beach.

[@TXMEDRGR]

I was lucky enough to see it in Long Beach right before they moved it. It is quite something.

[@Mcsteffiandboys]

Love the black globe! Do you still have that?

[@lindapotter992]

My dad used to fix our boots (arctics) with hot patches.

[@kayesmithme]

After the potters house are you not worried you will turn into a hoarder oooops a thin line I think personally

[@barrypettit4955]

made for red sunsets in minnesota

[@DoomsdayJesusXIII]

Oh, Alex, no one wants to go on another one of your Goonie adventures...haha...

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Best movie ever ;)

[@DoomsdayJesusXIII]

I love that movie... remember seeing it in the theater...I bet we both know all the lines...

[@misheedawn3214]

213,000 plus subscribers. 3-16-19.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

So crazy! :)

[@misheedawn3214]

I became a subscriber like the third week of February, this year. You had 124,000 subscribers. Almost 100,000 in a month!! So awesome.

[@jasondrummond9451]

Obviously you're a fan of 'incomptech' music!

[@JoRiver11]

Any idea what the Vancouver seltzer bottle is worth? I had the same one! It's either in my basement, or I gave it to a friend... can't remember off hand!

[@haydendelena]

Check out va.. Just an idea

[@gnova7]

[@wyvernquill2796]

What you passed through Astoria and did not stop to look at the Goonies house! Whats wrong with you?

[@barbarawilliams7207]

Too much background noise to hear what you are saying, also too much added music! My daughter got me hooked on your show because I'm older than a lot of your finds. 😉 Born in 1930.

[@TXMEDRGR]

I hope he got to take the trip off of his taxes.

[@Pancreaticdefect]

If you're ever in southwest Michigan (Kalamazoo specifically) our local air museum has the only surviving dual cockpit trainer variant of that SR-71 Blackbird that your son schooled you on.
