World Famous Shipwreck, Washed up on Shore | Abandoned | Destination Adventure

I try my best not to complain about the rain, because it makes for the absolute most beautiful footage. That being said, it is beginning to make my job a little tough lately. I have been having to stop and wait a lot for winds and rain to die down, either to film, explore or even just drive safely. None of this is really a complaint though, I am enjoying my time down the coast tremendously. Wind and rain along the coast is one thing, but snow is another, and it sounds like sections of California are getting hammered with snow. I was hoping to head inland from Bandon Oregon, and then do some of the interior of California, but it's looking like that wont be an option so I am sticking to the coast. At first I was a little bummed out about this decision, but that disappointment quickly turned into joy when I got to see the unbelievable stone structures along the southern stretch of the Oregon coast. I think this was actually my favourite section, so I am very happy to have gotten the chance to see it.
All of the beautiful views aside, lets dive into the dune buggy adventure. Getting out and enjoying the dunes was really a necessity for me. I love any action sport, and any toy with a motor. I grew up spending my summers in Florence, and riding the dunes was always a highlight for me, so I really wanted to share that with you all. I have always been a huge fan of desert racing and rally, so I just couldn't help but push that buggy to the limit, and apparently a little past. The broken component ended up being the steering box, which stripped right out. Whoopsies. All in all, Florence was good to me. I had a couple of nice crab feasts, I was given permission to park at the Casino with power and I got to shred up the dunes. Florence also has a very nice beach, but its NOTHING compared to the unbelievable beach at Bandon. Wow that thing was amazing, and I wish I could have had one more day to enjoy it. Finally, I was so excited to see the wreckage of the Mary D Hume. I love history, I love ships, and I love shipwrecks, so its needless to say that this was a pleasure for me to see. This is one of my favourite episodes in a long time, so I hope that you all enjoy it as well.

Your killing it Dustin, thanks for the videos I love exploring but I'm too broke to go and do what I love so your videos are great motivation for me

[@LolaPopFarms]

dont let broke be a reason. I am sure Dustin thought that and just did it.

Your adventures bring happiness to sooooo many people! I’m so thrilled every time I get to ‘share’ your adventures.

[@ghil3697028]

I remember that lighthouse: took one of the best pictures I've ever taken of it, the combination of the sun peeking through the clouds was just perfect! Oregon is such a beautiful place I've dreamed of for so long and I'm definitely going back soon. Probably one of my favorite episodes too, great views, great music, and seeing you get all giddy for a cool find always warms my heart.

Dustin that was super cool as my wife, a native Oregonian, has told me about the dunes at Florence for years. I’ve ever been there, but it’s on the list. My wife’s a Pisces (water baby) so I know she’d love to go… Looks like that old ships seen better days and if they want it to be around much longer they’d better get it to a dryer location... Thanks for another great adventure. Safe travels

Great video. Very beautiful country even if it is raining. Your videos never disappoint.

[@suzanneberkey1114]

Very cool history on the Hume. Thanks for everything.

[@VisionaryGardener]

Loved this video! I drive the entire Oregon coast by myself in my Suzuki wagon way back in 2009. It was the perfect way to move past a bad breakup. Such an incredible place to do some thinking and exploring. There are lots of beautiful green agates on one of those beaches. Others have lots of milky agates - you just have to slow down and settle in for a walk and really *look*. Since you missed that lighthouse, you should try for Cape Blanco. I visited that one on my trip. It's high up on a headland, with incredible views even if you don't get up the actual light. There's also a lovely campground right there.

[@danhilton2461]

Love watching your videos, thank you for the adventures

[@jburton9118]

Dude! Epic videography! Ya crushed this one. Virtual high five!

[@fleetline100]

When you go to Oregon go up the Columbia River Gorge at least as far as Hermiston , Umitilla. Lots of things to see like the military storage facility ( looks like a random cluster of ant hills ) .

It has not been the best year or so for me. (Enough said) I found your site by accident several weeks ago and started watching. Thank you for inviting me to travel with you and showing me around North America. The world is not so bad when you're traveling with friends. I cannot wait to see where we go next in our adventures.

[@donaldfrazier5244]

Dustin I’m having a blast watching your videos!

[@chrisblack8390]

That beach was beautiful an loved the ship too. Thanks

[@aproudamerican2692]

When I was growing up I lived in Baywood park, Morro Bay and next to the Montana de Oro State Park in Los Osos California. I never knew just how beautiful it all was until I had moved away for 30 years. Now, I regret not taking full advantage of all the Wonderful beaches, Dunes and Forests they offer. Back then as a teenager. They were just private party spots but nothing special. You can never really go home again. It just wouldn't be the same. *Today the best vacation aren't Man made.*

[@trevorkenny]

Can't wait for the "Lets whip it!" and "Leave only Footprints" merch. lol

Highway 101 is an awesome trip . I did it a few years ago with My Daughter , We left from Victoria .

[@bsomero10]

Another great one Dustin...Thank You!

[@ImageThisPhoto]

I thought this area looked familiar, especially when you described the sand. Yup, 4th Generation Oregonian here. Im in the Rogue Valley, Medford. You made it look great, and it is,,, but dont tell anyone :-). I used to be a professional photographer and I say that for perspective when I say, you sir did an incredibly great job making the best of lighting! If interested, I have photo' s of the Mary D Hume from 15 years ago and would be happy.to share. That poor thing has been beat pretty hard and the 2011 Tidal Wave from the Japanese quake really did some work. Hopefully the next videos shows Brookings and Harris Beach, and the first place I surfed in Crescent City, California = South Beach. So cool to see you "here". Enjoy!

[@nancysmith2295]

I really love your post. I'm fairly new to accessing Oregon from California as I live near Yreka now. I first heard good things about Brookings several years ago on a trip from the Bay Area to Cresent City. We skipped the coast to check out the cave near Cave Junction. Justin did a great job. I now want to do an Oregon coast trip asap. Gold Beach is becoming more interesting to seek out.

[@ImageThisPhoto]

@@nancysmith2295 Over the years Gold Beach hasnt been getting near as many visitors as Brookings. Ive seen many businesses go under and some of the Motels have declined in quality. I dont say this to deter, just providing insight and recommend you research motels before booking. Some started renovating during COVID and still dont have pools and spas open,,,yet. The restaurants that are still open are open because they are all good. The low volume of tourists makes for a peaceful getaway without crowds, especially on the beaches. If you like to fish, Gold Beach is the best because much of it is done at the mouth of the Rogue River so the water is calm and you wont get seasick. My wife and I watched several salmon being caught from Jots Resort, where you can charter boats at. Irelands is another unique motel with Beach access (pool/spa is being renovated) The Family Pizza Parlor is my favorite, Spinners, the Porthole = all awesome. Hope this helps!

[@2er5]

Great video as always Dustin! I love the soundtrack of your videos!

[@DavidBriggsAdventures]

Nice to see you passed through Gold Beach. There's some cool back road camping up river a ways. It's prolly got a foot of snow up there now, but stunning in the summer. Great video.

[@brianpelletierPNW]

Awesome video!! I have lived in Oregon my whole life and been to some of these areas many times. Thank you!

[@norsehall309]

G'day mate, your adventures look so cool, your hard driving on the sand and those cold windswept beaches, only on thing l would need if l were there, a hot Rum and Coffee drink, a lot more Rum than coffee, thanks Dustin, drive safe, cheers, Neil 🤠.

[@jeremyphillips4446]

I grew up in Coos Bay which got missed on your trip this time. There are some neat places there like Sunset Bay, Cape Arago. Cape Arago is where there is a site where an old mansion was built ( circa 1900) on the cliffs of the ocean. It burned down (twice) but there are still its formal gardens and some awesome storm watching as the waves crash pretty big on the rocks there. It is fun to dee you travel through the area where I grew up.

[@bob_frazier]

Jeremy, shush yourself! Just kidding, yeah Dustin definitely missed the jewel of the Oregon Coast, Shore Acres. What's worse, he missed it on a day with big waves. Oops... never mind nothing to see there, move along... :-)

[@Rachel-art-and-design]

This was a great adventure. I love the coast. I moved to NE oregon over a year ago and still haven’t made it to the coast yet. Now I have thanks

[@cherylsibson2529]

Awesome shots and music

I liked the "Don't chew do it." I play that game too. And you could have stopped by here in Oceano dunes near Pismo Beach. Rentals for days. We locals get the dust from it, but I'd have coughed and wiped the tank lid for you. Journey on Sir!

You we’re smart staying on the coast we got hammered with snow!! Maybe on the way back you can hit the Volcanic greenway through the Klamath Basin to Crater Lake 👍👍 tons of cool 😎 stuff to see. Collier State park Logging museum, Jackson Kimble park float the wood river. Tons of stuff. Keep on trucking buddy we’re watching 👍👍 Just awesome 👏

[@nancysmith2295]

You're actually close...more than usual. I'm near I-5 Yreka, California. One of our coastal trips we stayed in Cresent City across from the Native American Casino. The prime rib was great. We were in the vw vanagon high or fixed top. The rv park had power at a few camping sites. It was a welcome relief for power, laundry, and showers. We lived in Fairfield, Ca at the time. Now we're in Montague east of Yreka. It snowed here the other day. We need this weather with snow and rain. The reservoirs are low. We have two near here that aren't. Iron Gate and Copco. They, however, are going to be destroyed to restore the Klamath River. One hope is to bring back the salmon population. It's a nice space out there at Iron Gate. We have seen eagles, bobcat, and coyote out there.

There’s a cement boat on the Siuslaw River (Florence) up towards Mapleton passed the old Veneer Mill and the bridge at Cushman! Could be a pretty cool story to tell and sweet drone footage!
