 Good morning top of the morning to you I'm at the same rest stop as last night and the one that I stopped at yesterday Astoria is across the Columbia River It meets the ocean right up there. It's pretty cool over here. You can see the tide coming in and out the water The river flowing out So I think we're gonna try and get somewhere kind of north of here and head towards the Olympic National Forest area and do a little loop Down by Seattle then kind of head back up not all today. Maybe we'll get to the National Forest today Let's hit the road. I stopped at a place called Ocean Shores, Washington I'm down here at the further furthest most south southern most for this point, you know what I'm saying the southern part It's pretty cool. There's a bunch of driftwood on the beach Um Driftwood of course is really cool like souvenir depending on if it's a state park or a regular Beach you can you can take some looks like people are just kind of hanging out. It's not too cold. I'd say it's like maybe mid 50s of 60 degrees something like that looks like there's a dude on The jetty out there fishing in his orange outfit. That's pretty cool. Let's go Poke around a little bit now along the beach here. There seems to be quite a few shells. He looks like some kind of clam shell but Like I said, they're just littered about everywhere. It's pretty cool This looks like a dungeness crab here. There's one There's a some kind of the arm. There's another one Here's the rest of the body Here is another one of the big shell part And they're just kind of littered up and down the beach here. Here's what I'm talking about with a nice clam shell here Also, I just noticed this looks like a silver dollar which broke in half And it looks like This is I don't know what this is some kind of it's not beach glass some kind of stone or I don't know about Jim, but some kind of you know Cool rock thing. I'm gonna keep that forgot to mention you can drive on the beach here Although I don't think I'll be taking a day in the adventure bus on the sand It is off-season. I don't see a car anywhere down here and The last thing I want to do It's stuck in the sand No, I'm saying closer to the water because It is one of the most majestic lakes I've ever seen so I Wonder where we can see it. Isn't that incredible? I'm gonna get down to the water over here to the left side, but I Don't even I can't tell up from down right now. It's so crazy Campground for the national forest I Said something at the tiny house festival, which I guess is impressive In almost a year of being on the road. I've never paid for a place to park overnight Or I'm sleeping in it It's all excited I paid for the bus to sleep overnight or park overnight, but I've never paid which If you're on a budget and you're doing the van life bus life You don't pay for campgrounds or RV parks. You just find a little spot on the side of the road or a Walmart Amazing amazing place. I think it's so amazing that it deserves its own day, which will be tomorrow and That way I can go find a place with better Wi-Fi Better cell service and do some editing tonight. I just ran off the main road. There seems to be some sort of fire road 2273 Let's have a peek. There we go. This is what I'm talking about Nice little pull out nobody around Pretty close to the road plenty of space for You know logging trucks to drive by if it is still in use I'm gonna say this is a good spot for the night and here's a view from the outside It is now about six o'clock I'm gonna try and get into a different habit of Stopping earlier in the day like five six something like that because Normally, I'm driving and driving and driving until it's dark. Well summertime dark like eight o'clock. I'm so tired And I don't even edit In the afternoon or the evening. It's always like been in the morning. So I also need to catch up And also, I know there's a couple people who are disappointed that I took a little break and didn't update you So it's actually a good thing you guys were annoyed because that means you care So apologies for that, but thank you for caring for a long time. I don't really think anybody cared. So If you weren't upset, I Guess you didn't care or as much or take it personally So next time I will try and give you guys a heads up in a couple of weeks from today Two to three weeks. I will be going off to shoot a web series for a few days. I'm not sure if I will be logging that And I have some other projects as well And someone was asking because I did post on Twitter Would I stop this for a TV show? You know the more I do this the more I like it And the more I deal with TV people the more I dislike them. So this is a lot of fun Very challenging to do everything by myself, but I think it's going pretty well so far. So I'm going to Cook some dinner
