We are retired and don’t have money for trips anymore. Thank you for taking us on one!❤

[@TerryHunsakerMcLemoreLMSW]

My husband and I both grew up in Washington. Your video makes me homesick.

[@lloydbaker6988]

Hey, Hey, RVerTV Russ, Letting us Ride Along today and see the scenic highway. Yeah 👍

[@picturenut]

My granddaughter and her fiancé were here last night while I was watching this and they were dumbfounded…. they couldn’t get over the photography and the fact that it made you feel like you were driving down the road. These kids are not into TV like a lot of people are and they wouldn’t be bothered with it but I noticed Devon couldn’t keep his eyes off it. You do a great job.

[@LyThiDao251]

Washington is beautiful and prosperous❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cougsjohnson1]

My Roommate in College was from Kettle Falls & Colville. I went and visited his parents 9 Acre Ranch and shot my 1st ever Gun on the Property. However, since I was a 19 year old City-Boy who didn't know anything about Guns, his Dad handed me a Magnum .44 Revolver. I got a Big Surprise when that thing packed quite a punch & almost knocked me back off of my feet. Fun Times & Great Memories 🎉🎉

[@yragtgov]

Absolutely beautiful! America the beautiful!

[@jimconnor8274]

Washington is a beautiful state!

[@susanboatman7913]

As a young boy, my Dad spent part of his childhood in the State of Washington and absolutely loved it.

[@dianephelps4511]

It's wonderful to hear you speak about the forests we have here in WA. Beautiful video.

[@CrashTestPrivate]

Hey hey, Russ! Thanks for all the coverage of the beautiful Pacific Northwest! My home! No place like it on earth.

[@19800910]

I think its amazing how the architecture in the 1930's was so focused on details like those light posts at the Diablo Dam. In the middle of nowhere there was time and money to add this "Art Deco" feature.

[@marymyers6266]

Washington Pass Overlook has to be one of my favorite videos. Every time I view it, I see something awesome. Thank you for so much pleasure.❤

[@emmawebb6955]

💙👋AMAZING FOOTAGE SCENERY ❤️👍💯👍💯 THANK YOU, I MUST SAY AFTER HEARING WORLD NEWS AND ONE'S DAY.....THIS IS RELAXING AND STRESS FREE🥰😉😁 EVERYWHERE YOU'VE TRAVELED, YOU BRING GOD'S CREATION IN YOUR AMAZING FOOTAGES ❤❤❤❤

❤Always a relaxing time with such a kind voice. Love of God's creations❤🙏🏼 ❤🇺🇸

[@donnadeandean2720]

Thank you for you channel. I am bed ridden and can't travel like I use to. So, I love watching you from home. America is a beautiful country. Stay safe and enjoy 😊

[@cammieg4381]

You need a Part 2 for the entire Washington State Highway 20!!! oh - you just said that! 🤣Worth waiting for! 👍

[@amandacountryman8024]

I live in western Washington but have spent my 39 summers going over the cascades to Winthrop. My family has gone deer hunting over there for 4 generations. My husband and I were also married there! Thanks for this video!

[@SandyFerguson-o8z]

My husband was from Twisp, WA, the next small town.

[@bettymagana4166]

Oh that’s Awesome ur coming to Washington State born and raised in this Beautiful green state! Enjoy our beautiful state ☺️🌲🍎🍏🍐🍒

[@patc7055]

Back in the day my grandfather and dad had timberland in Washington state near Bellingham. When they would cut trees they always planted new trees to replace the cut trees. I believe it's a must.

[@johnhines3591]

If you ever come back, spend some time around Mt. Rainer. Hwy 410 & Hwy 2. Spend a couple days exploring the park.

[@seanveach950]

Chinook pass, my favorite place in America, good childhood memories! Will go back there someday for sure.

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

This is way better than my dad’s army days stationed a couple places out there .. before sent to sit in fox holes in Germany. I got detailed report of cold weather there that required double layers warm wool socks and cups of coffee.

[@justinebuckleywright1302]

Beautiful beautiful.!! Thank you so much for sharing. Be safe and God bless you.

[@juliogonzales5441]

Where ever you go....we go...thanks

[@terry8912]

I did virtually the same trip late in the summer of 2023 but going east instead of west. I had been over Washington Pass both ways several times over the years, but this time I had a new small truck camper and was headed for western Montana. I spent the night at a large empty state campground very near Sherman Pass. $5.50 a gallon gas changed my mind, but I had a great trip anyway. Thanks for the great video.

[@JoyCool1]

Just watched this whole video on 2x Speed ;-p Thanks "No fuss Russ"

[@karenbowder1224]

Whoa!! My tummy is still flipping looking Dow into those canyons. Awesome!

[@alanlough638]

The Washington Cascade Mountains are absolutely gorgeous! Just think--you live in the area with the Cascade Mountains in your backyard--you'd wake up every morning drinking coffee and enjoying the gorgeous views. Awesome, absolutely awesome. Russ, thank you so much for taking us with you on your rv travels. We subscribers love you. I wish you safe travels. Talk soon, Alan.

[@susanboyle1523]

My cousin lived in Republic for over 50 yrs. Now she is in Kettle Falls. And you are right those small town folks know everyone. I was born in Washington state but have lived in Arizona now since 1985. Miss my Washington.

[@thematrix215]

You have a great sense of ergonomics for viewers. Just by the quick intro right into the content. I think it’s genius.

[@percymcnabb4746]

simply beautiful, loved to visit windtrup, very cool looking town

[@mishmash4250]

Hi Russ, I love this episode of Hwy 20 travels. Now, when showing the west side of Cascades Mtns you're near my stopping grounds. I'm happy to live here in PNW and so close to the mountains. I'm glad you traveled through this part of WA State and shared the view for all to enjoy. Thanks for all you do.

[@lornaherlache1950]

Leavenworth is one gorgeous town! Love the square, and their hanging baskets! Lots of good eats too!

[@ryanwillis4179]

Hello! I was so happy to see you make a video driving through my town of Republic, WA. On your way there on Sherman Pass you mentioned the metal statues of wolves. Those statues were made by Smoker Marshand. He is a very well know tribal member to the Colville Tribes and makes those statues. You can actually find them all over Washington State. He was an amazing man who did so much for the indigenous here. He unfortunately passed away about a month ago. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@jesscarey7666]

Very cool Russ 😎 Take care sir

[@Marcy.Duvall]

1:34 into the video is just gorgeous! (the little waterfall)

[@fountainhillschamber]

Nice, nice.

[@OkieJammer2736]

Ohh. Gotta gotta do this run. THANKS, RUSS! 😊

[@SharonR-p8x]

Beautiful! You did an incredible job! I felt like I was riding right there with you 👍❤️

[@peterselten500]

[@kathyflint3850]

Thank you so much Russ, for taking us along on your adventures! We're enjoying the Cascades today, and the views are phenomenal❣️

[@SandraA535]

I grew up in Newhalem. It was paradise. Very nicely done video! Thank You!

[@jovenciodalao3054]

Thank you for taking us along on your road trip in Washington state, we are now on our winter years, have gone to almost all of the 50 states except for Oregon and Washington state which we planned long time ago, then we had the pandemic and had knee surgery hence now ambulation is limited. We are really grateful that you took us along. Safe travel and thank you so much👵🏻🤓

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@socksie2405]

I spent 2 weeks on the highway in August 69. My brother-in- law worked on the the road that year. He, my sister and others lived right there on the road. They parked their trailer just west of Washington Pass. They got their electricity from the State camp which was a few yards down the road. We hiked into Lake Ann and Rainy Lake. What a summer!

[@MICHAELMEREDITHSR]

Thanks *so* Much for what you do Russ! Truly Special. 🙏🦉 🏞️

[@lorilake7613]

I'm enjoying your once in a lifetime series. I live near hwy 20 and have to taken the very trip you took on more then one occasion . I never get tired of it. I have friends I visit in Tonasket, Chewula, Sequim, Port Angeles, Joyce and Forks. My favorite town on the route is Port Townsend. Next favorite is Winthrop.

[@edwardlapsley2556]

We are heading to Wannacut lake soon for a family get together for a week

[@joannmcclain8800]

I lived in Washington State when he said Tonasket I thought where that I saw sign realize he just pronounced it wrong. Welcome Washington State

[@shirleygrass6068]

I grew up in central Washington, and now live just across the border in Idaho. Many years ago my husband and I did that drive. Thank you for bringing back so many memories. My husband has now passed on, and being in my 80's will never get to see it again.

[@ronaldhall2489]

I remember the older folks talking about the C C C and the depression. Thanks for stopping and sharing you do such a good job and younger people need to know this stuff and us older ones sure love the content it is TOO GOOD FOR SCHOOL ❤ THANKS AGAIN RUSS

[@ronaldhall2489]

Dam I'm getting old I mean too cool for school 😂

[@rogerhuntley1862]

Thanks for an enjoyable trip through my childhood adventures. In 1939, when I was born, my dad dad worked for Seattle City Light and we lived in Diablo Dam. Back then there was no road to Diablo..you parked your car in a company garage in New Halem and took a train up to Diablo. The train roadbed is now Hwy 20. Thanks again. Roger Huntley

[@ElwoodAndersonNV]

Thanks, Russ!! That video brought back a lot of memories. In 1961, while attending Cal Berkeley, I took a hike up in that area with a couple fellow students. We took the boat up Lake Chelan to Stehekin and hiked over the pass down to Diablo Dam, about a 50 mile hike. The hike includes a number of trails including part of the Pacific Crest Trail. It seemed like we were somewhere in the Alps.

[@ackara7]

I lived in WS for 7 yrs. Thanks for this.

[@navychhaingvoeun528]

Hi Russ thank you take us with you

[@fattone166]

Zip's bacon double cheese burger combo rocks!

[@lesliegriffith9830]

I love that it is one story. When you get into your later 60s, you pay attention to one's legs. Plus I love the rock star paintings, especially Mik Jaggers. Thanks for the tour.

[@pennywawiorka6431]

Beautiful beautiful, imagine how workers cut through mountains and valleys to help create all Gods beauty🤗🤗✌👍👌🤓 Thank you Russ, enjoyed it so much🙏🤓

[@chouleanghak5085]

Cool video, Rust. Can I make a suggestion? A second camera may be installed for the rear view inside your RV. As you leave the bridge, you'll see your RV get further and further away from the bridge. That would be a cool view from your video.

[@creativeartist2]

YOU were in are area! Chewelah- (chə-WEE-lə) means water snake.Fool’s Prairie used to be called Chewelahs nick name for a while which it meant, the land looked like a prairie but actuall is a wet boggy ground. Chewelah is bilt on a old lake bed . the City of Colville " We pronounce it " Callville" even though it has a O instead of a , We have lakes every where, Colville National forest and rv parks dotted through out the Northeast corner of wa state. My family is this areas orginal homesteaders. So very old history with stevens county Wa. Older than The City of Spokane WA ,Glad you enjoy our area, We get Heavy winters up here and super cold times too in winter. Cheers Russ From Tammy and Glen of Creative artist2 channel🙂🙋‍♀🙋‍♂🐦

[@larryjohnson6398]

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

Your long form videos are just as enjoyable as curling up and watching a good movie. This one was spectacular.

[@ksr1177]

Another amazing and beautiful video Russ. I’ve never been to Washington before that part is so beautiful may have to had it to my list of to do. Thanks again and look forward to the next video.

[@jeraldheinrich3589]

Glad you enjoyed hwy 20, I know I sure do.

[@tmorton922]

My brother, sister in law and I hiked from Diablo lake up and over to Stehekin on lake Chelan. 50 years ago. It was amazing!

[@Sewspcl]

Too cool for school!

[@gwh21375]

I spent some time in Twisp and Winthrop in 2014. What an absolutely beautiful area!!!

[@dsquare3703]

Thank you for sharing this. It was a great time. I just thought.. about all the sick people who can't get to travel. You've blessed a lot of folks.

[@TheChiyna]

I’m always mesmerized by the beauty you capture with your camera. The sharpness is amazing. Great job I get to travel to places I’ll never be able to go but thru the beautiful videos you provide. Love you and thank you soooo much for the joy it brings 😊

[@rvertv]

thank you

[@sherrymatkin635]

Washington is such a beautiful state. Thanks for the magnificent trip.

[@JaneDoe42011]

Those rock walls along the road near Diablo Lake turn really beautiful in the winter. They get these big ice crystals all over the entire wall. It's spectacular.

[@richardsaito2641]

Great area, wish you done more drone shooting in this place, keep up the great job . God bless

[@Marcy.Duvall]

Snow in August! :)

[@marshah478]

Russ when we were in Glacier National Park, they told us that Crystal blue water is glacial melt.

[@lucindabryant31]

Just now watching your trip through Washington State. We lived there for 23 years and enjoyed camping all over the state. You are bringing back so many memories. If you have not been to the Grand Coulee Dam, it is worth a visit. I also wanted to tell you, that because we watched your videos on Millersburg and Amish country in Ohio, we spent 3 days there on our last camping trip! It was wonderful. We also did the scenic route along the Ohio river. It was beautiful. Thank you for your relaxing and enjoyable videos. At 1.29 in the Cascades that is the Liberty Bell Mt. Gorgeous!

[@stevenjames1951]

Where is part 2 of this one? Just to let you know my wife and I are From Bellingham Washington. We moved to Gilbert Arizona area 25 years ago and we're home sick just watching all the beautiful country side. I drove longhauler RT 2 across Washington Many many times home to Bellingham. Thanks buddy

[@rshutterbug47]

That Was Totally AWESOME 👍👍👍

[@rvertv]

Thanks! 👍

[@JeanetteWolfenbarger]

When my husband and myself lived up there in the area, we drove across the dam and visit all the areas you're going to. It's nice to visit all that again. Thank you

[@jqvist529]

As a native of Idaho I loved tht you recognized Zip's Burgers as the regional burger joint lol!! It is real good food too - I hope you tried one! - Jim

[@Mars_Life_and_Beings]

I seriously considered moving to the Spokane area. It is SO beautiful.

[@Marcy.Duvall]

Russ, you really have a knack for finding beauty!

[@lornaherlache1950]

Phenomenal views! Thanks for taking us on your journeys! We’ve taken that route previously when we were so much younger! Wonderful memories!

[@ninawade3055]

So pretty and very entertaining thank you. Enjoy the video.😊

[@lesliebyrum8934]

All I can say is that is beautiful that is God piece of Earth absolutely beautiful

[@burntfingers2241]

Another fantastic video russ 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YAY!!!!!

[@vecherd]

I have traveled hiway 2 across the state but never 20. Thanks for your sharing! Oh by the way Zip's is one thing I miss from the eastside of the state.

[@cwccharters]

At the end when you said "talk soon" you were by my house!😅 Ross lake goes into Diablo, then Gorge lake (Not George) then the Skagit river. The amazing color of Diablo lake is from Gneiss rock flour from the glacier up thunder arm. I did bus tours (pre-pandemic) from Newhalem to where you turned around with a 45' charter bus! Great video, come back again soon!

[@WBJAdventures]

woww

[@RossLougheed]

The Columbia froze over in the 1920s and 30s. Use your favorite search engine for pics of cars driving on it and planes landing, too near Vancouver, WA. Must have been "global freezing" back then. LOL

[@lbbnjsharpe]

FYI: @ 2 minute mark, Russ is showing us how calm the Pend Orville river is. Anyhow, there's a nice little camp ground across the bay called Albany Cove. Corp of engineers camp ground. Bill PS, in my younger days, I loved water skiing in that bay & up to Priest River. Lastly, Priest Lake is near by. Its my fav & Boundry Dam is a nice secluded place with cool caves near by.

[@edwardlapsley2556]

We took a tour through boundary dam a few years back

[@discipleshipwithjesus6023]

Awesome!!!😮

[@donnahouser3142]

Absolutely beautiful Cascade mountains. This is the best part of all the places you have taken us through, thank you very much!

[@susanstrickland6774]

Such a beautiful drive. Lots of Kodiak moments. Sure is a deep dropoff, yikes. 🙂👍

[@lesliepowell]

I love all your videos and as a born Washingtonian this video is awesome. I have been here almost all of my 62 years and am about to move to Arizona for the remaining. Thanks for all your great videos!

[@jeffkimber]

Russ, I appreciate what you do! Here’s my wish-list of trips I’d like you to film!: 1) Atlantic coast of Georgia, SC, and NC - you would love the Outer-Banks in late summer! 2) Fall trip through Western PA, Upstate New York, NH, VT, and Maine!! You’ll need 6+ weeks to do that one right! 3) Northern and Central MN, and Northern Wisconsin 4)Western Canada and Alaska These trips could catapult your channel to 500,000 subscribers👍🤠!!

[@jeraldheinrich3589]

I've traveled on hwy. 20 probably about five times across Washington. I usually go around Labor Day. I've followed 20 and sometimes go to the San Juan islands, all by motorcycle.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋‍♀Hello Russ! I really enjoyed the scenic highway 20 video. Beautiful!👍
