We scattered my dad's ashes off that bridge you featured early in the video about thirty years ago, as he requested prior to his passing. Lovely country. Same area we used to hunt when I was a kid in the late 60s.

That truck looks like a theft, kids.

Now you're in my backyard. That whole area got nailed with windstorms last season. Even the main roads looked like that in the spring. Thanks again. I'm loving the vids.

Oh those pinstripes...I feel everyone I get on my rig deep in my soul! I've been on trail like than and chainsawed and hedge trimmed for miles....but never ran into an abandoned truck like that!

Great episode guys and cool to see you in my neighborhood, I live here on the Olympic Peninsula.

We’ve done a couple of drives through the Olympics off the Hood Canal and on our drive last weekend, had a full sized mountain lion cross the forest road in front of our rigs. Be careful with your dog out there.

Thanks for taking us along! We live in WA state and are unable to go on those adventures anymore. Fun times! Be safe. 😅

We were just up at Wynoochee over the holiday weekend. We took a day trip up to dusk point. Would've been beautiful except for the clouds and rain on the only bad day! Some of the roads you were on looked similar to the ones we took. Your wife does very well considering. I exceeded the limits of my wife's medicine!

Olympic Peninsula Racing Stripes - that’s what those are to locals. Slide Alder are monsters.

Man, the sound of branches scraping the sides! But those views from your camp though so gorgeous! I love the food too! Seeing that Ram looks sketch. Your cinematography keeps getting better and better! You guys got Patreon yet? ✋

Good stuff guys. Looks like a epic spot I’d love to camp there sometime. Many roads here can leads to amazing views or dead end from trees.

Wow that is a rough road. I don’t think my ladder full-size rig with a ladder rack would have made it without waaaay toooo muuuuch road clearing. The Ram looks like an unfortunate find, probably stolen and dumped. You picked a really epic spot to kick off that trip.

Yep, definitely going out that way this summer. I've never actually camped in the Olympics, only on the coast.

It wasn’t as bad last year through there but things grow very fast in the Olympics.

Indy cameo always worth a like

I live in the PNW to, and stumbled upon your channel. I too have small channel, and really enjoyed your videos. Nice Job!

Each place has its own scratch and ages with you

Well, that road is an all too common occurrence in the Pacific NW. It's so painful as I watch my buddie's 5th Gen T4R push through that stuff, I can imagine it was worse for you. You can definitely see why full size trucks just don't work great here. I can think of countless times the road has narrowed to the point I can't push even my narrow truck through - at some point it's just too thick and dense - you'd need a powered hedge trimmer as it can go on for 100s of feet. And downed trees - even on a well cleared road, I often find I drive under several. On just a short drive in the Oregon Coastal Mtns yesterday I drove under over a dozen. Many with thick trunks and bases too high to make it practical to consider cutting, even with a chain saw. I can't see how alot of full size trucks or those with RTTs can get through. When I'm packed for family camping, I've had to turn around a few times when I came to a long, low, tree tunnel that my Plano boxes on the roof wouldn't fit under.

The south side of the OF has many trails that have been overgrown like that, but a few lead to some great campsites.

Did you go up that outcropping above your camp site? There was a solar panel up there in your drone shots - probably weather reporting equipment (it's usually marked). You can see it in the shots 3:49-4:01 & 4:09-25. Super interesting ridge and a great example of how steep our mountains are - that campsite likely wouldn't have been there if they didn't level the road for clearcutting. I'm always curious to see if they left the spar & I can find it down on the ground or one of the nearby slopes.

Awesome camping site. If you don’t mind me asking. Do you remember where that was. My wife and kids would love that site. Great video.

This is where a chainsaw would be handy. Last spring we were trying to work our way from High Steel Bridge to Lake Cushman, but there was so much tree fall that even with a chainsaw it would have taken a week to cut through it all.

A lot of thé downed trees can be pulled out of the way. 19:25

I think that you'll need to invest in a chainsaw before you go back there! 😂

People pay lots of money for custom pinstriping, you get yours for free. Just think of it that way, and all is good. 😉

nice video, I have been trying to find that place for a long time, can you share what FR it is or any reference point, thanks.

At 1:12 is that High Steel Bridge?

Did ya’ll report the vehicle?

The handsaw is cute, but get yourself a Stihl or a Husky if you plan to truly overland.

I cant hear you speak over the music playing in the background
