 good morning actually it's a good afternoon I've been hanging out in the same spot here I caught up on my edits which means I am only a couple days behind a current real life so when this goes up on the 2nd of October it's the last day of November it's Thursday right now anyways I'm over here in this rainforest and it's not raining I was kind of hoping it was going to rain but you know you just never can control nature but we're gonna go on a hike I believe we're gonna head back over to the lake where there was fog the other day because this is a rainforest in North America I believe not the only one but it's at a certain latitude and it gets over 12 feet of rain every single year that's nuts so let's go check it out got a nice little parking spot looks like I'm gonna go on something called the Gatton Creek Trail in the rainforest well that's resort but all this area and I believe a larger part is the rainforest so we're gonna go up here possibly check out a false I just jumped about two feet there's a frog right there through the rainforest here check out all this moss growing on the tree looks like there are ferns growing on a tree along with the moss and some fungus down here as well this seems I know there's got to be and also whoa look at that slug right there I think that's a slug holy cow and I know there's a term I forgot because I haven't been watching my nature shows that much but there's a term for when plants and animals they kind of like grow together and depend on each other so yeah it's pretty cool literally anything that touches the ground is covered with moss even the ground itself and this area is still wet it's almost like it just keeps on kind of leaking and I believe that this probably acts as a kind of water barrier evaporation barrier and it just stays wet out here even when it hasn't rained and you know a couple days here we are here's the nice little waterfall not too far away from the parking lot I would guess and say it is half a mile of the three-quarters of a mile let's go out on the bridge look at how nice and beautiful this is nice gentle waterfalls and as you can see some very very old trees which are dead are still standing out here which is pretty cool that's one thing I really do like about the National Forest and National Park they're so protected that you get to see everything as it is including some of the decay which naturally exists but I believe they clear the forest for fire hazards and things like that so this is a this is absolutely stunning right here this is the halfway point the turnaround point like I said I got a late start so we're gonna drive on out of this rainforest with no rain and get down towards the peak the beach and also I need to restock on some food and things like that because all I had today was protein powder and water and also guys just like Orange County watch out for cougars they're everywhere and they can be aggressive be the lens a little bit looks okay great so as you guys know I mentioned that I am shooting a web series that looks like it's going forward middle of October which is like in two weeks from now about also I have a voiceover job for a project I shot four to six years ago well better late than never I suppose so for you guys wondering how I make money well there you go that's part of it although it is rather inconsistent but it will help a little bit it'll definitely fill up the tank a few times 20 minutes a half an hour from at the beach and I vaguely remember someone saying hey once you get up there you should go check out Ruby Beach so that's where we're gonna go right now goodness no wonder people told me to come here we're Ruby Beach check this out there is driftwood on driftwood on driftwood on driftwood oh my god is this normal for the Pacific Northwest I feel like this is a special place I don't think I've seen this much driftwood in one place especially the sizes whoa almost fell especially the size of these logs they're massive it's awesome no wonder I sell a bunch of photographers walking up as I was walking down it's almost a little bit too late to do some photography but shoot I don't know people come back in the morning this is a pretty cool place I don't know if this is a river but this is definitely fresh water or salt and fresh water mixed together and smells like somebody got a little fire down there and taking some medicine if you know what I mean now the closer to the ocean you go you'll notice that the color of the driftwood changes probably because it's fresher and I don't know wash the shore more recently but man there is so much driftwood it's awesome they should they should rename this place driftwood Beach if you're driving up the Washington Coast definitely definitely put this on your list I just wish I had a bit more time and a bit more light so I can properly show you guys how cool this place is but hopefully you guys get a good idea we're just looking up on Google or whatever I think since I'm kind of I kind of ran out of food I would imagine things close early I'm gonna jump back in the bus and try and find a grocery store somewhere you can get a little food because I'm hungry by the way if you guys come walking closer to the water over there is much easier than jumping over all these logs like I'm about to do it is quite tricky and if this I should say if and when this stuff gets wet it's probably extremely slippery found a grocery store I got a bunch of these canned soups and look what Campbell's is trying to do I'm trying to be all healthy I have minestrone with kale and a bunch of other things non-bpa lining no preservatives and two-thirds of a cup veggies um Jake Campbell's right usually I get my soup at the health food store or I try to I'm in a little town I think it's called the push I don't know let's find a place to sleep for the night talking about mill and mill I know probably a forest road had nobody's around my motto is if nobody's around nobody's around to care so this is where I'm staying tonight this is my spot I'll show you guys more tomorrow but just take my word for it I'm surrounded by trees what where the light go let's try that again I'm surrounded by trees for any boondockers who are interested in finding this location it is between forks and lapush all right here we go this is dinner tonight just a veg frozen vegetable mix and a can of this natural soup stuff just gonna mix it together got my little night I just want to say thank you sincerely for watching me I know your time is valuable and I appreciate you spending it with me see you guys on the road tomorrow
