30 min from Sedona. 1.5 hours to the Grand Canyon
ℹ️ About the Episode:
In this episode, we stay overnight at a Harvest Hosts-a church at Port Ludlow-before taking the ferry from Kingston to Edmonds. The ferry was $122 with our truck and trailer (55 feet long combined) and saved us from having to drive Interstate 5 through Seattle. Plus, taking ferries on an RV trip is fun! We've done several, and this episode contains some bonus footage of those trips. Then we make our way to North Cascades National Park. We would have loved to stay at Newhalem Campground, which by the way has full bars LTE cell service (at least with Verizon)-but after nearly a month of dry camping since Red Fish, Idaho, we really needed to catch up on laundry and treat ourselves to a long hot shower! It rained while we were in the North Cascades, which prevented us from hiking. That was a bummer, because hiking might just be the single reason people go there, besides the scenic drive on Highway 20. We didn't do nearly as much as we would have liked, but we did have a great time. Sometimes, it's important to remember that having a great time together is better than doing as much as possible. And doing as much as possible might take away from having a great time!

So glad you enjoyed the Kingston Ferry - We are one of the ones that it is very normal for us!
Incredible been using a tire thumper since old truck days in the 70s! And yes they also have another use for security! ThomyT
Love Sundays at 8 pm yeah!
This is the first time I can recall an RVer mento Chelan Washington. We used to visit family there that had an orchard!
Every video just gets better. Marc I had flashbacks to my childhood when you said "Ruby Falls"....never let go of a small child in Ruby Falls as it will scar them for life. Glass baby, semi trucks & ferries covers all the bases. Thank you for taking us along !
KYD and The Three Amigos…. Going to be a good night!!😃
I’m totally impressed that you pronounced “Skagit” correctly in the first try! Winthrop, Mazama and that whole area are truly spectacular.
10:30 You guys should check out Ellie in Space's video, "Starlink helping during disaster... and race cars." A guy developed a flat mount for Starlink dishes. His company is called, Star Mount Systems. You could have a flat mount Starlink dish on your roof so you never have to worry about set up or tearing down.
I work for the ferries and if you you look at the 4:37 mark of your video you'll see how the ticket seller estimated your rig length. There are measuring lines painted on the ground so they can easily judge your vehicle length.
That's Kingston. At Port Townsend and Coupeville (Keystone) they have a measuring wheel they roll on the ground from front of truck to back of camper.
As a life long (65 years) Seattleite I smile at the great experience you had on our ferries. Now, the folks who daily commute back and forth from the islands to the city probably have some stories to tell, but your experience seems pretty normal to me.
BTW Lake Chelan is pronounced "shell-ANN"
Caleb Rudolf is a caribou, not a common deer. Speaking of deer, Winthrop is known as the capitol of deer running into cars- they're everywhere like rats.
You were within five minutes of my house on this trip! Would have been wild to run into you.
I've lived in the PNW all my life and still get awed every time I ride a ferry. And I'm in North Cascades NP regularly and never knew there was a lit up waterfall!! We'll have to check it out next summer.
Thanks for this great video. I love all of them, but this one being (almost) literally in my backyard made it that much more special.
I grew up in the NW. This made me homesick in a good way!
Would love a KYD coffee mug with the 0.0 camper level symbology!!☕️👍
Nothing better than a level camper!!
Number 3 getting closer
Enunciated Winthrup, lol. Winthrop. Great town.
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT SUN MOUNTAIN LODGE.
Washington has so much to offer. Beaches, mountains , hiking,biking,great food ,friendly people!!! Come back soon
Yes it definitely does
GREETINGS!!! and
WELCOME TO OUR LOVELY CORNER OF THE WORLD...
have been doing the North Cascades and Winthrop for years!!!
WELL DONE AS USUAL!!!
safe journeys and bright stars to shine upon you!!!
You live in a beautiful area. We are in Oregon but try and get up there when we can.
After driving a school bus for about 20 years.
I learned that when I pull in and turn at an angle.
So when someone parks in front of you. You are not waiting for their come back.
You passed through Concrete, WA, and Lake Chelan is enunciated Lake Shelan.
Hope you get a chance to take the boat Lady of the Lake from Chelan to Stehekin. Great day hikes from there.
Years ago, a bus full of school kids went off the edge of Lake Chelan, which is 1,500 feet deep in some places.
Lake Chelan State Park and 25-Mile Creek are wonderful places to camp, particularly off-season.
If you get a chance, check out the little park at the bottom of Lake Chelan Falls.
Love your new intro!!
We love following you every Sunday night... Thanks so much
Thought I recognized that ferry. I love that ferry! Pt Townsend - Coupville. Awesome!
Great video and welcome to the PNW!
One thing to note, you took the ferry from Kingston to Edmonds, but the Google Maps screenshot showed a different route.
We live in the PNW, thank you for reminding us how beautiful our state is, sometimes you take things for granted, it is good to see it from someone else's perspective.
The car / truck show got me thinking. Where’s the MG??
I so look forward to your videos every Sunday!! I live vicariously through your travels. We took our 5th wheel on the Alaska Ferry system when we moved to Alaska from Nevada for hubby's job back in 2005. Boarded the ferry in Bellingham WA to Juneau, then had to hotel it one night in Juneau, then caught another ferry from Juneau to Whittier the next morning. A total of 6 days on the ferry...and it was in the month of March! When his job ended in 2012, I told him I would only move back to the lower 48 on the ferry. SUCH AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Many great memories! The entire ferry from Juneau to Whittier was full of Coast Guard people and their families moving up to AK for their new deployment. Met lots of wonderful people on that ferry. Many thanks for the memories of getting on the ferry. P.S....we also took the Badger ferry from WI to MI, on our way to the UP. I remember feeling a bit "green" that morning, as Lake Michigan was a bit rough!
Awesome story
Who knew they had chain-link fence in 1935? Wow! 😂 👍🏻 love your show! Thank you.
Washington State Ferries are the best! If you have a chance to stay longer in Winthrop, it’s a great place to go white water rafting too! In early summer, we would often do the loop from Seattle - up through North Cascades, stop in Wenatchee to get cherries and then back to Seattle on I-90! Lots of great day trips in the Cascades!!
Yes!
Winthrop, WA... my sis-in-law lives here. We are in Berrien Co, MI. Husb is from Seattle, WA. We met as pen pals when he was in Navy and I was still in high school. Met in 1969 and married in 1971, will be married 53yrs Nov 2024.
I bought “tire thumpers” for my daughter and I to carry in our vehicles. They are awesome weapons and since it isn’t called a weapon we can use it to beat the heck out of someone without being accused of being pre meditated! My daughter had an incident at a gas station once and she used the passenger door of the perps car to beat the heck out of the idiot! I like your uses as well. I used a walking stick to push on my brake to start my car from the back when it got really cold sleeping in the back.
I need one of those tire thumpers to start my husband’s truck from the passenger seat! Genius!!
This is a fantastic and beautiful part of Washington State. I lived in Newhalem when I was about 5 years old and my father worked on the power houses of the Skagit River dams. Winthrop and Chelan were so close to where I graduated High School - Wenatchee. My father also worked on the dams and powerhouses on the Columbia River. Your video brought back many memories. Great videography.
Wenatchee grad here too!
So beautiful, I sometimes miss the mountains of Washington , moved from there to Kentucky about 5 months ago. Kentucky has some great places too, but no real mountains, alas.
It was fun to see my house in your video when you were on the Kingston/Edmonds ferry. Thanks for the good channel.
Idk if it’s the lights or sheer beauty, but dang I ♥️ America! Thanks for sharing ❤
I had a “Faces of Death” moment when you were behind Log Truck!!! 😅
Okay... ...HOW can you always be so level? - You're the LevelMate Pro KING! - I have one, but rarely am I perfectly level. 😀😀
That's the type of town I grew up in 🥰🥰 Beautiful spot ! Safe Travels guy's ❤️
Marc and Trish & Caleb this is such awesome breath taking scenery thanks for sharing hopefully you all will have safe healthy travels
Great video as always! I was amazed to see the boat on the ferry with you, the Grady White, they are made in Greenville, NC where i live. It has made long trip to the west coast!
Calab looks like a young Tony Curtis, love watching your family.
I look forward to every Sunday night video. Caleb has to make these adventures so much fun. He is such a hoot. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
As a longhaul trucker, the PNW is my favorite part of the country.
My sister is from that area and I know Winthrop well. I am so glad you took the time to stop even though it put you behind on a travel day. It is a very fun and special town!
Great western themed town. Couple cool ones in WA
I look forward to every Sunday! As a "Floridian" (Space Coast), know that during the hurricane as I sat and 'contemplated' as is the usual during these times... I thought of you all being new Floridians. Strange since I've never met you. Although, I feel like I've gotten to know you through the vlog. I am living vicariously through you. My aspirations we're to travel the US since during my Air Force day's I have seen much of Europe, Asia and a few other places less desirable. 😉 But my health took a drastic turn and a divorce put the cherry on top. I find myself with my "nest empty" and struggling to find my next purpose in life. Until then I am living vicariously through you. There are times you take my breath away, laughing and even shed a tear or two (graduations etc)... But most importantly looking forward to a new adventure every week. Safe travels!
One of my fellow UPS brothers for the win !! Thanks Matt for helping out my KYD fam !!
We love our UPS driver back in Flag.
Beautiful! That's a place worth going to. Love the hike!
It really is so fun to make discoveries and be surprised! That's why we travel. Thanks for showing a corner of the country I haven't visited - yet.
So cool to see one of local ferries in your video! Sooooooo many memories at that ferry dock! So many hours spent parked right there waiting for our boat.
Absolutely stunning scenery! Thank you for sharing this with us... Safe travels.
Great video! Loved seeing the mountains ❤
Thank you for sharing this amazing video. There was so much beautiful scenery. The mountains are magnificent. I can't wait to see the next video. Yall be safe.
That's great - 'tire thumper' and 'brake pusher' - that qualifies as a multitasker. It stays! And when the bee flies into your shirt at Holloween time, does that make it a 'boo bee'?😁🤔
Wow what a great video. Enjoyed that last little town and the car show.
Always enjoy the weekly video!
Good to see you all laughing and having so much fun.
You always do such a good job, letting us see and feel things some of us can’t experience in person. Keep up the good work by the way, the music was great Thank you.
Happy Sunday KYD Family!! Safe travels!
Another really cute pair of sandals, Trish..
they look life Reefs.
that was an absolutely amazing video. Great times, great scenery, and also the reality of RV travel. Not every moment is perfect, and you do need to step back on occasion to reflect. We just spent a few days on the Outer Banks of NC. Amazing spot. Ocracoke is wonderful and honestly one of the nicest friendliest spots we have ever camped, and yet one morning I found myself getting cross over sand on the trailer floor. Well hello? Day 6 on a sand dune and I am cross about sand on the floor? But then with the sunshine and the wonderful company of your travelling companion(s) and everything settles back into "wow this is some fun" mode, and all is good again. :) Anxious to hear how you feel about the new tires now that you have a few miles on them. thanks again for the superb videos... As always, safe travels....
Beautiful footage and great ideas of things to do! We were doing a loop to Chelan and Winthrop the same days as you. Had to wait a day for that same slide to be cleared on Hwy 20. Gotta love the North Cascades highway!
Stunning scenery and Marc spectacular cinematography! Loved the cute little town at the end and the ferry ride was cool too.
We love Winthrop and the North Cascades! We hadn’t been there in years but we drove through at the end of August. This video gets me enthused about going back and doing more hikes!
thanks for the blogs ... love them & use them. much appreciated.
Thank you so much for sharing your travels with us. They are very inspirational. I loved Trish's "swimmingly" comment.
Thank you for sharing all the great places. Blessings
Thanks for bringing us along!
This is a nice dam drive! Nice one Mark!!
Definitely one of the most gorgeous parts of Washington State. You went by Colonial Creek campground at Diablo and back in out tent camping days, we used to camp there all the time.
Thank you that was a wonderful video of the beautiful creation
We love it!!! We have loved all our trips to Washington and really enjoyed seeing your visit there too
A GREAT EPISODE,HAVE A GREAT WEEK, MAY GOD BLESS!
Another classic KYD. Thanks.
Wow, thanks for another excellent episode.
That National Park is amazing, and Winthrop, WA looks like a great little town.
The big truck display was especially nice.
Your episodes have me itching to hit the road!
Onward
We just loved that video. We lived in Edmonds from '72 to '80. Miss the PNW to this day. Thanks.
Per usual an OUTSTANDING video.
And I especially appreciate your great selection/s of background music.
It really fits the video !!!
Great job ! Been there a few times . We are now in the Smokey Mountains Tennessee.
We in law enforcement call that a baton/night stick.
My suggestion is too keep it away from Trisha or it will become a husband/son correction stick.😁
Keep the rubber on the road and safe travels.
Thanks for you service. Dad was an officer for over 20 years.
@@adventuresofjandk I had an amazing career. It's a shame to many government representatives have taken a false prospective against law enforcement. God bless you and your family.
@@brianhubbard4175 agree. Not even close to same level of respect these days unfortunately. I blame politicians and our so called media. All the best to you and yours as well.
Nice old frightshakers! Beautiful!
Thanks for all the great ideas.
Welcome to our neck of the woods. One place that you missed was Fort Worden (where they filmed Office and a Gentleman), up at Port Townsend, that’s a great campground. FYI Lake Chelan is pronounced Shay-LĀN. Great video.
One of the spots I visited when I was out there in May. Gorgeous.
What a beautiful park! Thanks for giving us a snapshot as Trish said. Great video as always.
By the way, my husband always blows the horn in tunnels. 😊
Yes come back! Awesome hiking here!!!
Locks like you were following our trailer's twin onto the ferry. We have a Coachman Clipper 17FQ. It is in storage for our winter.
Great video. Have fun!
Nice *stoppage in that unique quaint town in the 'North Cascade's. Classic car cruise-in (my favorite), ice 🍨 cream, artifacts, like a frontierland at base of the mountains! Thanks for the conceptual trailing thru beauties of State of Washington -awesomeness‼️⛰️
Great show. I've done that drive once decades ago. Time for another. Seattle City Light has another dam near the border in the NE corner of the state, Boundary Dam, which is built inside the mountain. They used to provide tours inside the generator house. Very cool.
Great video is an understatement! Thank you!
Happy Sunday yall! Love yall 3000!
Welcome to my part of the world! N. Cascades is beautiful!
Being from Huntington Beach California enjoyed another great video,good memories 👏🫵🏼🍺👏 thank you 👏
North Cascades NP looks great. Thanks for sharing. We understand the reset needed. We try to plan in a full hook up site from time to time. Take care!!
Watching tonight's video of you in our neck of the woods, PNW. About a month ago my husband came home from working in the Spokane area and said he thought he saw you guys on the freeway heading to CDA, Coeur d'alene, Idaho. Safe travels.
you guys passed within 40 miles of our cabin near Crawfish Lake north east of Omak and then 7 miles from our home north of Spokane Valley up the hill above Otis Orchards. Would have loved to run across you guys. Keep it up!
Was at Crawfish Lake a couple weekends ago, it was beautiful!
Loved this episode, we have made that exact same trip 2 twice just going the other way because we are coming from Florida, Winthrop is one of our favorite mid-summer spots, the cycling on the north side of town is phenomenal, and there is a nice RV park there and in July they have a amazing Jazz Festival. Ross lake has a beautiful floating lodge on it that is only accessible by boat after a hike into the shore line
the clips just keep getting better & better, keep the clips coming
So good to finally see y'all exploring our neck of the woods!! We've been watching you for years, and you gave us the courage to try RVing...finally received our Imagine in Dec. 2020...changed our lives in the best possible way. Thank you. Hope you enjoyed Washington!
I wish I had seen this video before I went on my hwy 101 trip last month. I would have love to do that hike!
Oh my goodness, we missed you by about a week up in Winthrop! It is one of our favorite camping spots and the North Cascades Hwy never disappoints. Glad you enjoyed our “neck of the woods”. Next time you are up that way check out Big Twin Lakes RV Park. Close to everything but still a little out of the way. Love you guys! Blessings
Thanks again for highlighting my glorious, beautiful, best-in-country state!
So fun to see our neck of the woods through your eyes. Wish we could've run into ya!
Marc and Trish, your "mom and Dad " jokes are hilarious 😂 love your videos and happy you're in the PNW , I live in Oregon and love both states!
The cascades loop was one of our favorite RVing vacations, we did it multiple summers while we had our trailer. Silverwood Theme park was a hit with our kids, nieces and nephews. Hope you get to stop and see it.
