    Crescent City has a very vibrant history. Many characters of the old west were in that town. And the mid-1800s

    Hey Sarah thanks for all the awesome videos and sharing your life with all of us!
    You're definitely one of my heroes!
    The Redwoods are my favorite place and Oregon and Washington are going to be just as great!
    If you have the time it's worth it to make it over to Jedediah Smith redwoods - absolutely stunning and endless gigantic trees and more of the Smith River too 😊
    If you're heading up 101 into Oregon take the time to stop and see some of Samuel H Boardman Scenic Corridor about 40 minutes north of Crescent City! I was stunned the first time I saw on Natural Bridges Cove there on my way up to Washington. Check out some of the pictures online and see if it's for you or not.
    Safe travels and I'll be following right behind you watching your great videos. 😄✌️

    Sarah this video brings a lot of memories back. It has been 52 years since I have been up there. was going to Oregon to visit a friend from work who moved to Oregon. It has not changed hardly at all. Just beautiful up there. The trees just buried the highway. Can still feel the moist air and the smell of the forest. Thank you for the fantastic video.

    Hi Sarah I use to live in Grants Pass Oregon. We would visit the Redwoods a lot . It’s so magical indeed . I use to gold pan and fish the Rouge River . There was a story that came out of the Local newspaper that a man and his young son were skipping rocks on the shore in The town of Grants Pass when he noticed his little boy was just about to toss a 2 lb gold nugget and caught his hand just in time lol . Watch out for black bears out there . They have metal bear boxes to keep you food in and you better use them or risk getting a fine if you don’t. little One is crazy adorable lol . Safe travels 🙏❤️

    Smith River is awesome. You have to apply for a paddling permit. It is a multi-day paddling river and one of the finest in the country. Good score!

    I grew up in Washington, just north of Seattle. You’re going to love it. After being away for over four decades I cannot wait to get back there in my little camper van. Will you visit the eastern part as well as the coastal areas? They are two very different worlds. You’ll definitely be happy to have a whole month to explore. Don’t forget the San Juan Islands too. I’m so excited for you!!

    Awesome Sarah, you took me through the greatest parts of my trip of 10 years ago to visit my much older sister in Crescent City. This video made me cry! I love the Smith River! My sis passed away last year without a memorial you just gave me one for her. This was her favorite
    place along with those big trees. Her spirit rests there I know! Thankyou so much! Now go see the Rogue, Applegate, Umpqua and the Santiam Rivers In OR and don't forget to checkout the Cascade Mountain Passes all are beautiful. The Mt. Jefferson National Forest is my favorite. There is so much to see you can't do it all in one month Sister Sarah, you'll be back. Sign me Naitive Oregonian...am really thinking hard about whether I want to transplant myself in AZ. But the White Mtns are calling...☮️&🐩🐩⛺️

    Awesome camp! Just remember to watch out for widow-makers anytime you camp/park under the big Redwoods.
    I’ve seen the damage a little piece of bark falling from a giant Redwood can do to a car.
    That said, I love your spirit!
    Enjoy the trees! 😊👍🏼

    You're right, it is preparing you for what's in Oregon and Washington. When you get to Washington oh, don't be fearful of a hermit named Dodge. If he is still alive, he lives in the forest totally off-grid, and barefoot. But he doesn't really care for tourist. He was covered on the History Channel at one time. But you're right, northern Oregon and Southern Washington is mostly rainforest. If you get a chance check out the Snake River oh, it's a whole lot faster than this but it's beautiful. And if you could try to hug one of these redwoods, you're going to need some help😊. I'm a firm believer in everyone planting a tree possibly more somewhere in the United States. Trees are life givers, they Supply the oxygen we need and they survive off of our breath. So there's a definite connection between trees in humans, but trees can't take care of humans physically, so humans need to take care of the trees. As well as certain plants.😊 again it's great to see you smile, and it looked like little one was anxious to get outside when you were sitting in the Jeep.❤

    When you make it up to Washington state I definitely would recommend you go visit both Olympic National Park & Mount Rainier the tallest volcano in North America. I worked at both of these parks & they are worth seeing. Maybe you already have them down on your itinerary but I thought I would mention it to you. When I used to live in California and one of my favorite places to always visit was the Red wood forest like up in Mendocino county which is right of the coast of the Pacific Ocean.

    Gortex is your friend up here. It is a temperate rain forest after all. Look at the weather patterns and hit the coast when the winds come from the east and plan accordingly. Better hurry, this year is looking like a dry year and fires might be an issue. As a general rule its best to hit the eastern parts of OR and WA in the spring early summer then hit the coast when it starts getting hot. I prefer the ocean so I live further north on 1.
