WEBVTT - Been There, Dean That: Oregon Trail 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.960 Hello everybody, and welcome to an all new episode of 0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:10.360 Been There Deane That welcome to have been there, see that. 0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:14.960 Welcome to my podcast Kailin today. 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:16.440 What do you want to talk about? 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:20.680 Gosh, Dean, I got no clue, you know, I just. 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:22.880 One of these days. I want you to come with it. 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.120 Oh, I have ideas. No, no, no, I don't know where 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:26.920 we're going, but I think we should talk about how 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.840 we travel in just to carry on. We never check 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:32.599 it back, so wherever we go we need to talk 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.360 about our packing abilities. 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:39.000 I was thinking, sorry to maybe divert here. I was thinking, 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:40.720 since we since I just got back from a great 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:42.920 trip to Oregon, we talk about an even better trip 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.960 that we went on to Oregon, the first one, the 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:47.839 only well, yeah, I guess that's right. We happened back, 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:48.880 but yes, the first one. 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.199 Actually, I love that you do. That was such a 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:52.720 great trip. 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.760 What's a really good trip planned by me? It was 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.720 planned by Kailin? Heck, yeah, where did I plan? I 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.280 planned Sippy River, that's right, the Mississippi. I wanted to 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.760 do a steam boat ride up the Mississippi, just like 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.920 Mark Twain did. I even bought us little Mark Twain 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.080 books to read while we were on it, and then 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.280 COVID befell us. 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.920 Yeah, we actually went to we flew to Oregon, we 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.800 flew to Portland, and this is when nobody really knew 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.600 what was going on with COVID and the shutdowns, and 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.880 I was getting crazy texts. People were like, you need 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.800 to come home. The National Guard is going to be 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.520 patrolling the streets, and do you remember that. Yeah, we 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.040 landed in Portland and you were like, it's going to 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.440 be fine, and it was like, I think we were 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.000 there maybe four days before like the. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:38.880 Huge shut Yeah, yeah, yeah it was. 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.160 But we're just like speculating. They're like, we don't really 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:41.800 know what's going on. 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.319 I don't remember the exact dates of when COVID really 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.240 kind of ramped up, but I remember we were I think, 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.000 and take this with a huge grain of salt, I'm 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.880 pretty sure we were in Oregon early March and then 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.360 like mid March is when the lockdown. 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:54.200 Started happening something like that. 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.480 Yeah, could be wrong on those dates, but I'm pretty 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:57.480 sure that's pretty accurate. 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.480 It was just funny, like the text that I was getting, 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.760 it's like my grandma knows so and so the National guards. 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.840 I remember people were like, yeah, freaking out. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.440 Well, and I was only three months off of my 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.080 hip surgery too, so I was quite hobbily. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.200 Yeah, but still such an incredible trip and we had 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.360 a different experience just because of the shutdown. There weren't 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:16.600 as many people out and about. 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.480 Yeah, which was nice, I guess in that regard. Yeah, 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.200 so what did we do. We flew into Portland, stayed 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.680 one night in Portland, and it was kind of a 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.360 ghost town, like we mentioned for the reasons earlier. The 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.240 food I remember being good. I remember having like some 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.320 good food truck, like Korean barbecue food or something like that. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.480 We brought Pappy with us. Stayed at the Kimpton, which 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.239 is always a great dog friendly hotel because you don't 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.280 have to pay an additional pet fee. 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.239 Right, and there's a lot of other dogs for nice 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.320 dogs to interact with. Alistairs not allowed at Kimpton. 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.239 Yeah, well, Patty was great for the Kimpton. 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.600 He's just like whatever, don't even bother talking to me, 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:48.320 and I won't talk to you. 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.880 Yeah, he's a prima donna. 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.280 So the whole plan for this trip, I guess I'll 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.280 let Kaitlyn describe it because she was one that planned 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:55.880 it all those years ago, if you can remember. 0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:00.120 Yeah, so pre COVID Dean and I decided that. But 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.840 I guess once a year or twice a year, I 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.560 don't really know, we would plan trips for each other. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:10.440 So we wanted to do it internationally. Dean planned Guatemala. 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.440 I planned Saint Lucia, and then after he broke his hip, 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.799 we were like, let's still, you know, keep this up, 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.200 but let's do it domestically because it's easier for you 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:23.600 to travel. So Dean planned the Mississippi River kept it 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.040 a secret for the longest time. We obviously never did 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.239 it because we were supposed. 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.480 To go in like April or May or something, and 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.359 everything was booked. It was like the Queen's Victoria boat 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:32.799 we were supposed to be on or something. 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:33.520 Like that would have been fun. 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.200 We could do now, We could do it now. I'm 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:36.440 looking right at our Mark Tween books. 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:41.640 Actually, yeah, oh, it's good to core actually yeah. And 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:46.080 so I planned Oregon, and I don't really know what 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.480 sparked this. I think I just saw a beautiful photo 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.760 on the coast and my idea was to find to 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.000 Portland and then just drive south into California and enjoy 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:58.840 the coast, and it is one like California coast is beautiful, obviously, 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.600 like so stunning, but the Oregon coast is so underrated. No, 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:03.800 not enough people talk about it. 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.280 What do you think about the Colorado Coast? 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:06.640 Yeah? 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.160 Do you like it? Have you been there yet? 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:10.200 What? 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:11.680 The Colorado Coast? 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.400 It being so silly? We're landlocked us. 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.000 Dang it. I thought I was gonna stump beyond it. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:17.440 I thought you were like talking about the edge of 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:21.719 Colorado for a second. No, anyways, you didn't stump me. 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.800 So that was my idea, and that's what we did, 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.960 and it was such an incredible trip. The coast is 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.480 just it's so gorgeous. There's these beautiful peaks jutting out 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.359 of the ocean. Like every turn, every bend is just 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.119 more gorgeous than the next. Something else that I loved 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.719 because I grew up in Virginia, not a landlocked state, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.320 and you can't do this in Virginia. You can't drive 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.839 on the beach, which I thought was the coolest thing ever. Yeah, 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.640 So we had a jeep that we rented and could 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.360 just drive along the beach. 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.440 And Oregon for whatever reason, lets you drive on the beach, 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.600 and I think that's pretty much statewide. I don't know 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.360 if Washington does. I'm gonna for the sake of this story, 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:00.599 I'm going to say that the don't. And that's what 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.080 makes Orgon great. But also, like driving on the beach 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.800 is cool because, like, especially living in California for so long, 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:06.960 you never get to do it, and then you're on 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.640 at the beach for two minutes and you're like, all right, 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.240 that was cool. Now let's get back on the road, and. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.600 Yeah, you know, it's fine experience. It is then even 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.040 to just like if you have a Jeep or whatever 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.359 vehicle and like put your trunk out and you're just like, 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:20.400 they're on the ocean. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:21.960 That would be yeah, do that like back up to 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.640 a bonfire. I don't know if you're allwed to have 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:24.800 bonfires on the beaches. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.960 There, but it was cool, cool experience. And then the 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.000 interesting thing to me with driving on the beach is 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.280 like everyone's pretty aware of it because it could get 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.919 dangerous pretty quickly. You've got kids running around, but everyone's 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.359 like aware. You're aware obviously like not going to hit people. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.080 Yeah. I wonder how many accidents there are involving cars 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.520 and pedestrians on the beach. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:41.920 Yeah. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.360 Also like not that it's you know, there are people 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:45.680 go to the sand dunes all the time and drive 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.359 out there and there's no like lines or anything like that. 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.080 But people are just kind of stupid. And this includes 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.560 myself too, Like I'm not just saying, you know, I'm 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.320 including myself in this and it is just kind of 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.680 it does seem like a kind of a good recipe 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.920 for some disaster. Occasionally I wonder, I wonder what this 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:00.919 statistics are on that. 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.080 But back to Oregon, Yes, there are so many cool 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:06.719 things to see and I would love to do it again, 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.000 like do the same exact thing we did again. There's 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.800 obviously other things to see, but there is a shipwreck 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:12.800 that we went to see. 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.360 Do you remember any of the names of the places 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:14.680 that we went? 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.280 No, So I just wanted to drive down the coast 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.240 and then Dean found all of these cool places to 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.320 go to, like the shipwreck. I think that was one 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:22.160 of our first stops. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.000 Mm hmm, that's very right. Yep. Basically in the northwest 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.560 corner of Oregon is I don't know, wreck of the 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.280 Peter Ayrdale. Yeah, so you had it right on the 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:32.640 tip of your tongue. I could see it. I could 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.400 see you basically mouthing it. 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:35.840 So check that out. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:36.919 I just needed a nudge. 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.000 And then Dean also found and I wish we would 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:45.240 have found this sooner. A plane someone like planted a plane. 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.880 It looks like it was just crashed into the ground. 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.200 Yeah, I let's see if I can find it. 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.679 But a guy lives there. 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.560 So this is kind of the thing with places like Oregon. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.080 Colorado kind of falls into the same umbrella. California, certain 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.880 parts of Montana. You taught Idaho, I could go on 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.400 when you travel to the places like that, and especially 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:10.040 considering the amount of of following, I guess you could 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.480 say that we have and a lot of my photographer 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.120 friends deal with this all the time. Is there's a 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.200 lot of gatekeeping when it comes to these places, Like 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:17.920 you go to the most beautiful place in the world, 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:19.920 you post a picture of it online, and then everyone 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.240 asks about where it is and how to get there, 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.520 and then there is like the moral dilemma of do 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:25.960 I tell people how to get there? Do I tell 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.640 people where it is? Because that's going to introduce more 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.440 people to it, And a lot of the times people 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.040 don't really respect the places that they go, and so 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.920 there's like a real moral dilemma of like sharing the 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.240 places that you went. I we're kind of getting on 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:43.360 a tangent here. I personally like sharing the places that 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.720 I go. I think the world is meant to be seen. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.000 We all live on the world, Like, why can't we 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:48.600 just see it? 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.320 Yes, I'm not a big fan of gatekeeping information like that. 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.640 I understand why people do it. I personally don't like 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.200 to do it because there are so many times where 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.600 even like my people that I would consider my friends, 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.760 post a picture or video place and I'm like, hey, man, 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.000 where is this I'd really like to go. He's like, oh, 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.520 you know, can essentially gate keeping it for me. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.920 Which there's one person in particular that I'm thinking of, 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.640 in one place in particular that I'm thinking of, And 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.080 it's so frustrat It's mostly the photography community, yeah, and 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.200 it's like I get it, you got this cool shot 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.320 and your shot went viral, but like, come on, just 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.120 it's just frustrating that people don't share, right, But I 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.560 get like maybe more so in the rock climbing community 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:27.320 or like the naturalist community, where they want to protect yeah, 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.400 that Land. Yeah, but this is just kind of like 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.480 for selfish reasons, I feel right, don't take my likes 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.880 away from me, Yeah, but I did. 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.079 The reason I met brought that up is because I 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.480 will be sharing some of the locations that I at 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.600 least remember that we stopped by. If you just Google, 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.600 all you have to do is google airplane home in 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.600 Oregon and it'll bring it up. It's like maybe forty 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:50.120 five minutes outside of Portland, and it was really cool. 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:51.720 I think a lot of the times the guy lets 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:53.040 you go inside of it, and I don't think we 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:53.920 went inside of it. 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.360 No, because you have to email him. I think twenty 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.760 four to forty eight hours in advance. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.560 and we found it like twelve hours. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:01.959 But it was so cool, just like walk around and 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.720 see it's basically like this ERJ one twenty five sitting 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:05.679 in the middle of the forest. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:07.480 I didn't get out of the car because it says 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.160 no trespassing. You just feel your drone. 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:11.760 And we walked under the plane. 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:13.040 I certainly didn't. 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.080 I certainly have a video of us walking directly under 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:15.319 the flight. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.640 How do I not remember that at all? I think, 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.880 I force no why I swear I did not get 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:21.520 out of that car. 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.080 I guarantee you. I could spend some time to pull 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:25.400 up the video right now, but I'm going to save 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.840 the time and just you just have to take my 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:28.360 word for it. 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:28.960 I'll try. 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.719 But yeah, Google Airplane Home on Google Maps will bring 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.120 you right to it. It's definitely worth it. Like if 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.480 you do fly into Organ and go to the coast, 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.000 because you're gonna have I think it's like a two 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.560 hour driver or something to get to the coast and 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.360 you won't really drive by it, but it's kind of 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:41.520 on your way and so you might as well stop 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:42.640 by and check it out while you're there. 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.000 Yeah, email Big Guy in advance though. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.600 And then we went to Astoria. Do you remember a Storia? 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.600 Is that where we saw No. 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.040 So, Astoria is where the Gooney's. 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.320 House is, Oh right, yeah, which I didn't really need 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:55.840 to see that. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.719 Which we don't really care. I mean I don't. I 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.679 don't love the Goonies movie. It's not like I dislike it, 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:01.520 but there is a big cult following for it. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:02.920 We went out of our way to see it and 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.160 we were like cool, yeah, and turned around. That happens sometimes, 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:07.440 So this is our trip. 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.200 So and the reason I said is because I'm going 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:10.640 to work us north to south. So we went to 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.680 a story to see the Gooney's house. We went to 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.079 the shipwreck of Peter Eyerdale, and then we continued down 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:18.640 south from there. And some of these are just coordinate, 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.359 so I'm not really going to be The shipwreck. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.840 Is cool because typically with shipwrecks, they're underwater and you 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:27.200 have to dive or snorkel to see them. But this 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.920 one's just like right on the water, right on the sand. 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.920 And I really don't have many of the spots saved 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.960 on my phone like I thought I did. I have 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.800 like maybe eight, but I don't really remember many of 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.240 these spots. So we went south and then we stopped 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:44.120 at a place called Elk Flats Elk Flats Trail, which 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:45.280 I don't even know if we did that or not. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.240 And again I was pretty hobbled. We'll get to it later. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.000 But I went on this like mini hike. Remember we 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.000 went on a little bit here beach, Secret Beach. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:52.880 Is that what we're talking about. 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.000 Yeah, I got poison ivy, Yeah, yeah, we'll get to 0:10:55.000 --> 0:11:06.520 that in a second. And then we carried down to 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.520 Cape Mears Lake, which I don't really remember that. 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.000 Much of that. I don't think we did any of these. 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.240 We definitely didn't go to it Li. 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.520 And then we went to Pacific City Beach, which I 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.520 don't really remember. And then we went These are all 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.160 just saved in my phone, and I figure we must 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:20.679 have stopped and they're on the coast, and so we 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:21.760 at least definitely stopped it. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.000 We did not go to a lake. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.640 Well it's it says lake, but it's still on the ocean. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.360 We went to Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Do you remember that? 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:29.720 We skipped that. 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.400 I remember We went to Thor's Well. Do you remember that? 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.520 Yeah? Freezing, but really cool. 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.600 Thor's Well was really cool. It's kind of like a 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.000 kind of reminds me of like Hawaii when we were 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.079 Remember when we in Maui and we sell like the blowholes. 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:43.800 Yeah, and you got water all over you. 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.040 Yeah, Well everyone gets water all over them when they. 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.400 Well the blowhole blue like right as you were seeling 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:48.920 right next to it. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.280 Yes, great experience. Great. 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.600 Thor's Well was cool because we were there in March. 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.760 It was just like a little bit of iffy weather. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.839 It was nice most of the time, but we made 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.520 it to thors Well, I think right or right after sunset, 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:03.680 and it was super chilly, and so I just stayed 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.719 in the car with Pappy, like I saw it for 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.040 a quick second and then went back in the car 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.240 and you flew the drone. But still really cool. So 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.000 I would love to go back with the warmer weather. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.000 And then we went to Cannon Beach. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.160 Remember Cannon Beach, Yes, Cannon Beach. I loved get which 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:17.600 so beautiful. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.320 Which ironically enough, I don't have saved on my maps here, 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:20.439 and that's where we stayed. 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.480 We found like a little hotel, yeah, because I didn't. 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.280 I only booked one hotel and I was like, we'll 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:26.880 just figure it out as we go. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.440 Where'd you get that idea from you? It's genius traveling 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:30.559 tech and I and. 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.120 I love that, and I love when we do that 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.200 because then we're not rush. It's like, oh, our hotel's 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.280 two hours away, like we got to get there, so 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.640 you can really be leisurely and like enjoy the places 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.040 that you love. And I love staying at Cannon Beach. 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.640 Yeah, Cannon Beach was beautiful. It would be nice to 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.080 go back, like in this time of year June July, Yeah, 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.160 and actually get to enjoy it because it was cold. 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.400 I think the water was lower than it normally would be. 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:54.880 Maybe not, I'm not really sure how that works. 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:58.120 But Cannon too, you get those beautiful views of whatever 0:12:58.120 --> 0:12:59.840 those peaks are. I want to call them petones, but. 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:01.120 I'm don't know if they're I think it's just a 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:01.880 giant rock. 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:03.600 These massive, massive rocks. 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.719 Probably like I think it just one what I think 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:07.320 it might be one? 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.160 Or but like through the coast of Oregon, you have 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.520 those peaks rocks. 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.719 Oh like looking back from the water towards the land. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:16.280 No, just in the water y. 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.840 Yeah, yeah, it's just this one. I think. Here's a 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:19.920 picture of it with the horse in front of it. 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:20.840 But I guess there's a couple. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:21.200 Of there a bunch. 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.320 Yeah's on the coast. There's a couple, but there is 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.200 one main, big one. 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:25.719 How do you get a horse on the beach? I 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:26.520 would love to do that. 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.240 If you can bring a car, you can sure certainly 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:29.040 will bring a horse. 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:30.120 Let's do that next time. 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:31.400 I guess you can bring a car on a highway. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.240 Probably shouldn't bring a horse on a highway. So I 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:35.760 just I just got myself there. 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.360 Oh, I just love it so much. Like, I don't 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:40.720 know if I could live there because. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.240 It seems a bit dreary. 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:46.520 Yeah, but I loved Oregon so so much, and I 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.560 really think it's one of the most underrated states ever. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.040 Culturally speaking too, I feel like there's a lot of 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:52.760 similarities between Oregon and Colorado. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.080 Yeah, lots of granola people people. 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:56.280 Wise, Yeah, a lot of the granolas. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.280 And I'm becoming more granola. I'm an organic gal. Now. 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.040 We're working on it. You've only been in Colorado four 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.680 months now, five months now, and yeah, it's a slow burn, 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.320 but it's getting there. I just can't wait to see 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.000 how granola you get in five years. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:16.800 Well, I'm still going to be myself, but organic, free range, yeah, 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.320 free range. Yeah, I'm learning a lot. I'm learning a 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:22.600 lot from a new Colorado friends. 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.000 Heck, yeah, that's great. And yeah. So then we just 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.560 carried on down south. From there, we went to, as 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.000 Kaylin alluded to earlier, a place called Secret Beach, which 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.280 is one of the coolest It's not a secret, well 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:36.160 not anymore. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:37.080 Everyone knows about it. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.400 After dozens of listeners listened to this it it really 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.840 is one of the most beautiful, like coastal areas I've 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:45.280 ever been to. 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.760 I would think, I don't think it's necessarily a secret, 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.720 but it's kind of like a secret in the sense 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.720 of it just looks like a forest and then you 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:57.320 walk through this forest maybe thirty feet fifty feet, and I. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.080 Remember being I remember being like half a mile or 0:14:59.120 --> 0:14:59.800 a mile. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.120 Let's say it's half a mile max. It was pretty quick, 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.840 and then you just walk out to the most gorgeous, 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:05.520 gorgeous beach. 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.240 Yeah. You can also look up Samuel H. Boardman State 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.880 Scenic Corridor, which is just it's basically the same thing, 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:13.560 just for their. 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.800 South so beautiful. I could have spent all day there. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.160 Yeah, that place was really nice. I will give a 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.480 bit of a fore warning if you go down there. 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.480 Don't get off trail like I did. 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.200 It's like, ooh, path, like, let me go. Yes. 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.200
