[1:02]
you volunteer for just so you know you
[1:04]
you definitely don't want to be
[1:06]
volunteering for that um but somebody's
[1:09]
got to do it so we'll do it about a
[1:11]
month from now come February I think I'm
[1:14]
going to be at a different Campground
[1:16]
where it's I'm going to be on the dunes
[1:18]
and I'll be responsible for helping all
[1:22]
the ATV people the Dune buggers so I'm
[1:26]
excited about this we got to go check
[1:27]
this park
[1:28]

[1:31]
here's my day and it's um it's 5: in the
[1:34]
morning so at 7:00 we're going to go
[1:35]
down to the shower housee it's a
[1:37]
horrible one here it just is it's a
[1:39]
horrible one
[1:41]
and we're going to get that out of the
[1:43]
way I mean it's so horrible I didn't
[1:44]
shower yesterday I just didn't want to
[1:46]
go down there but we're we're going to
[1:47]
take care of that this morning and
[1:51]
then um we're going to go into a little
[1:54]
town called Lakeside and I'm going to
[1:57]
get a post office box cuz um I had to
[2:01]
drive the three-hour round trip in order
[2:03]
to pick up a package the other day so I
[2:06]
could get my my fire water
[2:10]
um oh what's the word for that supplies
[2:14]
I just had to get some supplies but that
[2:15]
I had to drive quite a distance I kept
[2:17]
that post office cuz we're going to have
[2:19]
a few along the the coast you know we
[2:21]
need a new one so we're going to get one
[2:23]
in Lakeside I just think it's a cute
[2:25]
little town it's near here so we're
[2:26]
going to do
[2:27]
that um when we're going to go to the
[2:29]
grocery store we're going to get some
[2:31]
smoothie supplies we're going to get
[2:33]
some Frozen mixed berries some frozen
[2:36]
mango chunks uh maybe spinach I should
[2:39]
have some though as long as it's still
[2:41]
good some milk and we're getting these
[2:45]
things because CLA is telling me that I
[2:47]
could use some vitamin D C and K cuz I'm
[2:50]
not really getting those in my diet or
[2:53]
through the Sun and all that so we're
[2:55]
going to get those things and we'll make
[2:56]
one of those in the mornings we'll try
[2:58]
to make that a new ritual
[3:00]
and then um oh well these aren't in
[3:03]
order or anything don't expect this to
[3:05]
be some kind of order you know then bre
[3:07]
the chaos so um next there's the road
[3:11]
trip General stuff we got to make my fir
[3:13]
water which means electrolytes plus
[3:15]
chili powder and we need to put some of
[3:16]
those into little baggies so that we
[3:18]
have supplies when we're you know we
[3:19]
need to get some extra water at the
[3:21]
grocery store Claude put that on the
[3:23]
list please I transcribe these so you
[3:25]
know he'll he'll get a copy of this
[3:28]
basically in text phone and he can
[3:30]
update our little list that we got going
[3:32]
on here so we need to get water supplies
[3:35]
clawed um and we want to keep some of
[3:38]
that in the Jeep at all times we want to
[3:39]
keep water in there and maybe some you
[3:41]
know premixed packets of my fir water so
[3:44]
that wherever we are we can just refill
[3:46]
that so we need to do that very
[3:48]
important it says any other supplies
[3:50]
needed I don't know you know I have no
[3:52]
idea what do we need and then we can go
[3:55]
drop those groceries off here I got to
[3:57]
get fuel my Jeep is basically and empty
[4:00]
I went to um cous Bay last night and got
[4:02]
some Mexican food and on the way back I
[4:05]
was like oh I really need fuel the
[4:07]
little yellow light came on it's quite
[4:09]
low um we'll be lucky if we find a fuel
[4:12]
station I guess we need to wash my Jeep
[4:15]
because
[4:17]
yesterday I did my first volunteer
[4:19]
Campground thing some woman came around
[4:21]
to my campsite her RV wouldn't start she
[4:24]
needed someone to help her jump start
[4:25]
the thing and I helped of course I did
[4:29]
and
[4:30]
there was dog poop all over her campsite
[4:33]
this
[4:34]
person
[4:35]
[Music]
[4:38]
um it's unfortunate we're just going to
[4:41]
deal with it it's not like a big deal
[4:43]
it's not like um it's not like my Jeep
[4:46]
is covered in poop or anything like that
[4:47]
but you know I just will feel better
[4:49]
knowing that I have cleaned it so we're
[4:51]
going to do that and then we're going to
[4:53]
head north uh to Honeyman this park
[4:56]
where where all the the Doom buggers
[4:58]
people live and you know play and stuff
[5:01]
like that so we're going to go do
[5:03]
that um and that's all we got so far
[5:06]
from there we might go into Florence so
[5:08]
everything else is kind of up in the air
[5:10]
from there like we'll see how the vibe
[5:12]
is you know at the time like how's my
[5:14]
energy levels and what do I feel like
[5:16]
doing and we might go up into Florence
[5:18]
check Florence out we can go to the H
[5:20]
head um void penetrating Tower and check
[5:24]
that out maybe and who knows from there
[5:27]
so that's my day so far embrace your day
[5:30]
embrace the chaos I'm doing that yawning
[5:33]
thing people do when they first wake up
[5:35]
stretching and stuff I need to get a
[5:37]
stretching routine down I need to add
[5:39]
that to my morning rituals one day we're
[5:42]
going to get
[5:43]
there
[5:45]
um I don't have any Bagels so Claude put
[5:48]
that on the grocery list please so I
[5:50]
guess I'll eat my leftover Mexican food
[5:53]
and um I was thinking okay so new
[5:56]
morning ritual is Bagel Plus smoothie so
[6:02]
yeah um and then make my salt drinks my
[6:05]
fire water so that's what I'm going to
[6:07]
do now this is it this is all we need to
[6:10]
make fire water we put this Himalayan
[6:13]
salt in there uh one teaspoon then a
[6:16]
half a teaspoon of potassium half a
[6:18]
teaspoon of magnesium 1/4 teaspoon of
[6:20]
chili powder and you're done so that
[6:22]
simple if you want to add some other
[6:24]
things you can add lemon or lime juice
[6:27]
uh I actually have some lemon juice I
[6:28]
experiment with that a little bit at
[6:30]
some point not too worried about it
[6:32]
right now but you know gives a little
[6:34]
bit of acidity maybe that um makes it
[6:37]
taste different and better or whatever
[6:39]
then there's all kinds of other herbs
[6:41]
and uh chat GPT was talking to me about
[6:44]
it
[6:44]
yesterday last
[6:46]
night adapto Jens I don't really know
[6:49]
what that is I was like this sounds like
[6:51]
to me and it probably is you
[6:54]
know humans always doing weird
[6:56]
things so um I was like don't why are
[6:59]
you even suggust this to me but
[7:01]
you know maybe well you know we'll check
[7:03]
it out if there's any true science
[7:04]
behind it then we'll maybe embrace it
[7:06]
but it's kind of like how I feel about
[7:08]
all this metaphysical nonsense and the
[7:10]
way you know humans just tend
[7:14]
to it's just fragmented shed okay I
[7:17]
don't know what to tell you so we're
[7:19]
going to make some fire water check that
[7:22]
out we got some premixed baggies of fire
[7:26]
water mix here
[7:29]
it's going to make me look like a little
[7:31]
drug dealer out of the road I guess
[7:34]
that's quite a bit now these baggies are
[7:36]
obviously too big and this I was worried
[7:38]
about this like some of the salt getting
[7:41]
um and the powder getting stuck on the
[7:42]
sides of the
[7:43]
bags but I guess it's not a whole lot
[7:46]
and I was thinking you know you could um
[7:49]
you could add some other spices into
[7:51]
these randomly and then every time that
[7:53]
you make your your fire water you just
[7:56]
you know you're up for a bit of chaos
[7:59]
there you don't actually know what
[8:00]
you're getting and maybe that keeps it
[8:02]
real creative for you so that's
[8:04]
something to think
[8:06]
about um I would do that so let's get
[8:09]
some water in
[8:11]
here going this with one
[8:15]
hands got ourselves some fire
[8:20]
water
[8:22]
okay this has a different um I love this
[8:26]
thing by the way this water bottle
[8:29]
it's very
[8:30]
secure it's even got a lock over here so
[8:33]
you can't press the button and it's got
[8:35]
two different Lids this one you have to
[8:38]
suck it like a straw just like this I
[8:40]
don't like that I like you know drink it
[8:42]
like a normal so I need um there's a
[8:45]
different one though I've got around
[8:46]
here I got to find it and see how that
[8:47]
works maybe it doesn't use the straw
[8:49]
that's in there so we'll find out we
[8:51]
just shake this out just so you know if
[8:54]
the um chili powder you're using is just
[8:57]
kind of standard um it's probably
[8:59]
probably not too finely ground so you're
[9:01]
just going to have these little flexs in
[9:03]
here you're going to have a little snow
[9:04]
globe effect going on it's very
[9:08]
pretty but you know you can always grind
[9:10]
it you know your own chili um your own
[9:14]
chilies or whatever you can just
[9:15]
experiment with this just make this you
[9:17]
know you want to you got to hydrate
[9:19]
right so make it fun make everything
[9:23]
fun so that's my fire water in case you
[9:27]
people doubt that I actually drink this
[9:29]
just drink some right now let's give
[9:31]
this a
[9:36]
try that's pretty
[9:39]
spicy H I'm pretty sure I got the
[9:42]
mixtures right I love this
[9:48]
though this is good we got to get some
[9:51]
of
[9:51]
this so that's how we get you're going
[9:55]
to have to shake this up also as you're
[9:57]
going along drinking the salts will mix
[9:59]
up real well but the chili Potter one so
[10:01]
you're going to have to shake it as you
[10:03]
drink um last thing put some contacts
[10:06]
over
[10:07]
here cuz I'm always forgetting to put
[10:09]
contacts in and I'll be driving I'll be
[10:11]
like man I forgot my contacts so we're
[10:12]
going to I put that there to remind me
[10:14]
put those in my
[10:15]
Jeep um what there so I went through I'm
[10:19]
going through my Himalayan sea salt
[10:20]
pretty fast it turns out you use quite a
[10:22]
lot of that so Claude please put that on
[10:24]
the list we need to get more of
[10:26]
that and there was something else now I
[10:29]
have forgotten this is why I got to keep
[10:31]
these reminders
[10:33]
going
[10:36]
um I don't know it'll come to me I
[10:39]
remember now I got to get some smaller
[10:41]
baggies those are very big baggies I
[10:42]
need you know the weed sized ones I have
[10:44]
no idea where you'll get those but um
[10:48]
yeah I got to get those at some point
[10:50]
somewhere so I need to put that on a
[10:51]
list um the other thing I wanted to say
[10:54]
is this is spicy like if you don't like
[10:57]
spice this might be too spicy for you
[10:59]
don't have to use my blend I don't want
[11:01]
I want you to try this if you're having
[11:03]
trouble hydrating because this this
[11:05]
works but maybe don't start with as much
[11:08]
spice as I do just start with you know
[11:11]
smaller measurements and just see maybe
[11:12]
you like the essence of chili powder
[11:14]
instead of the full blast of it I mean
[11:16]
that's for you to figure out so you just
[11:18]
got to
[11:20]
experiment so we're off yard and ready
[11:22]
to start the day something very
[11:24]
concerning has happened I opened up my
[11:27]
earbud box to put those in and they're
[11:30]
missing I don't know what happened to
[11:32]
them the ones I'm wearing now those are
[11:34]
my these are actually my good ones
[11:36]
they're the pro version but the one on
[11:38]
the left here doesn't work um it barely
[11:40]
makes any sound I haven't been able to
[11:42]
figure out why and it doesn't fit very
[11:44]
well because it has the wrong kind of
[11:46]
piece in there but these are my backups
[11:49]
because they don't work and now I've
[11:51]
lost the other ones so I have been
[11:54]
looking but I have no
[11:56]
idea we're going to start by just
[11:59]
getting fuel and I'm going to the post
[12:01]
office all right that's uh Saturday the
[12:04]
post office is closed bet a lot of them
[12:06]
are open my Lakeside is
[12:08]
closed definitely wanted to get it there
[12:11]
though I'm going to wait cuz I want to
[12:12]
get it there I could get it somewhere
[12:13]
else but that's where I want it so I
[12:15]
guess we're just going to head over to
[12:16]
the park now decided to get some
[12:18]
groceries before we headed out so I
[12:20]
could bring those back got some milk
[12:23]
some orange some water some bottled
[12:25]
water for the back of my
[12:27]
Jeep got some Bagel everything
[12:31]
bagel hopefully these are small little
[12:33]
bags these are the small I could find
[12:35]
square snack bags probably pretty
[12:39]
decent some interesting looking spinach
[12:43]
there I splurge and got me some hazelnut
[12:46]
cream I haven't been buying that lately
[12:48]
cuz everything's so damn
[12:50]
expensive they didn't have any this is
[12:53]
the main thing they didn't have any M
[12:55]
um mixed berries but they did have the
[12:58]
stuff on sale so I got I got a bunch I
[13:01]
got mango
[13:03]
chunks whole
[13:05]
strawberries whole ones uhoh red
[13:10]
raspberries
[13:13]
blueberries dark sweet
[13:16]
cherries sliced peaches so I'll have ai
[13:21]
teach me what to do with that and then
[13:22]
there's 2 lbs of hamburger meat that's
[13:26]
it hopefully this will get me through
[13:28]
for a while
[13:29]
I'm so confused about my earbuds cuz I
[13:32]
always put them in their case and I've
[13:34]
looked everywhere I cannot find them
[13:37]
like what happened I opened up the case
[13:38]
and they weren't there and I'm like what
[13:40]
this don't make
[13:41]
sense so I don't know I lost my earbuds
[13:44]
that's so sad I need
[13:47]
music
[13:49]
man this happened once before I had them
[13:51]
laying in my lap this was in
[13:53]
Kentucky and I got out of my Jeep didn't
[13:56]
realize they're in my lap and so they
[13:57]
flew out the the door didn't realize
[14:01]
till later I went and replaced them that
[14:03]
day so I can't do that now though
[14:06]
unfortunately cuz I would I hope they I
[14:10]
hope they turn up we're ready to
[14:13]
go it's find out what the Doom buggy
[14:16]
Community does on a rainy Daye do they
[14:18]
still go out and play I would I will my
[14:22]
Jeep can go out there
[14:24]
too
[14:26]
so we got to go find out what this place
[14:29]
is
[14:30]
like
[14:32]
excited and it just occurred to me every
[14:34]
time I go north I'm hiding further than
[14:36]
I've ever been on noran Coast so that's
[14:38]
kind of cool I did drive up here
[14:41]
once uh this was months ago and I think
[14:44]
I got close to Florence but I don't
[14:46]
really remember where I was up here I
[14:48]
don't remember any of this then Florence
[14:50]
is definitely as far as i ph so if we go
[14:53]
to forence today that's the limit if we
[14:56]
go past that to the lighthouses there at
[14:58]
the void penetrat tring
[15:00]
Tower I've never been that far so and
[15:03]
that's when the ocean comes back to so
[15:05]
for like 3 hours between Kate blacko and
[15:10]
Florence basically where that other
[15:12]
Lighthouse is you kind of swerve Inward
[15:15]
and you don't get like the 101 isn't
[15:17]
right on the ocean so I didn't think I
[15:20]
would like this area when I did drive
[15:22]
here that one time so but it turns out I
[15:25]
do I do like it you can still get to the
[15:28]
ocean but I haven't really seen it
[15:29]
except when I went back to Kate blonco
[15:31]
so yeah I kind of miss the
[15:34]
ocean but you know we'll probably go
[15:36]
somewhere today we're going to go check
[15:38]
out the dunes so the dunes will take in
[15:40]
Ocean I bet so we'll figure it out but
[15:43]
as soon as you get to Florence you're
[15:45]
back on the coast again so we should
[15:47]
probably should probably definitely go
[15:50]
there um I was thinking that if I'm
[15:52]
going to wash my Jeep today I'll
[15:54]
probably do it in Florence I haven't
[15:56]
really looked for a place I don't know
[15:57]
where any are do that
[16:00]
fors Reedsport
[16:03]
Bridge got to document the bridges cuz
[16:06]
bridges are
[16:20]
awesome the perfect balance of
[16:25]
tension another bridge over there that's
[16:27]
for the railroad
[16:29]
I love railroad Bridges those are my
[16:36]
favorites I remember this little town
[16:39]
this is where I stopped so this is as
[16:41]
far as I've gone cuz I went and I I was
[16:43]
right over
[16:44]
there uh just sitting
[16:47]
there had a lot on my mind that
[16:50]
day so yeah this is as far as I got cool
[16:54]
we get to explore all new territory now
[16:58]
oh it looks like like we almost go to
[16:59]
Florence cuz the park is in 15 miles
[17:03]
Florence is in in 18 so it's just 3
[17:05]
miles from there so yeah
[17:09]
okay kind of makes the decision for us
[17:12]
we're going to Florence this is a really
[17:15]
beautiful part of the
[17:17]
highway one one we're not on the coast
[17:20]
but damn oh wow oh my you know what I
[17:24]
saw that so I did come this far because
[17:26]
there's a Bridgeway down there like how
[17:29]
do you get to that bridge cuzz it looks
[17:31]
amazing I'm going to have to figure that
[17:33]
out so I didn't make it this far I don't
[17:35]
think I got to Florence though because I
[17:38]
never got back to the ocean I was like
[17:41]
where is this ocean and I figured that
[17:43]
out later there's a bridge way down okay
[17:45]
we can't see it from here we're going to
[17:48]
check that bridge out one day cuz it is
[17:50]
a must we just got to go walk on that
[17:52]
bridge but this is a nice spot I like
[17:56]
this area
[18:07]
there's so much to love about the organ
[18:09]
Coast I can't remember why I went on
[18:11]
that drive now but it's going to be in
[18:13]
my video somewhere I can look at up
[18:15]
somay but one day I was like let's just
[18:18]
go drive down this road and I went like
[18:20]
4 hours down this road and then I had to
[18:21]
drive that all the way back so at some
[18:24]
point I just stopped cuz I was like okay
[18:26]
this is going to be a long drive back
[18:28]
but I was just kind of previewing
[18:30]
everything and I made it somewhere up
[18:32]
here very close to here we're going to
[18:34]
pass it soon wherever That was cuz I
[18:36]
probably just stopped on the side of the
[18:38]
road somewhere around here and turned
[18:39]
around then I went to that little town
[18:41]
there and just sat next to the
[18:44]
river
[18:47]
so but none of this feels familiar so
[18:50]
it's almost like seeing it for the first
[18:51]
time it doesn't feel familiar to me that
[18:54]
bridge
[18:55]
next these are this a beautiful
[18:59]
it's a very nice part of the
[19:04]
highway very
[19:07]
seening at the beautiful Lake over there
[19:10]
this is part of the Oregon Dunes
[19:13]
National Recreation Area I think it's a
[19:15]
tonich lake but I this is only part of
[19:18]
it it was actually a lot bigger I could
[19:21]
be pronouncing that wrong there was a
[19:23]
lot to explore there
[19:26]
too we're in a very cool area
[19:33]
oh and there's the
[19:34]
ocean we're getting closer to
[19:38]
her okay we just passed the talking in
[19:40]
trail head which I stopped there because
[19:43]
I was going to try to hike that trail
[19:44]
but it required you to pay to be there
[19:47]
it's National Recreation Area I don't
[19:49]
think I had any money or didn't have any
[19:51]
cash at the time and I was a little bit
[19:56]
offended that I had to pay just to park
[19:57]
somewhere
[19:59]
that's where I turned around there's
[20:01]
another Lake over there it's very pretty
[20:04]
but you can only see it for a moment got
[20:07]
covered up by all these
[20:09]
trees it look like a nice Lake that must
[20:12]
be the name of it wah
[20:15]
Lake I won't pretend to know how to
[20:17]
pronounce that
[20:21]
why don't look like we're going to see
[20:24]
it
[20:26]
though unless the campground is on it I
[20:29]
don't know let's go find
[20:32]
out State
[20:35]
Park little bit of a ways to go I think
[20:37]
it's a different
[20:38]
Lake okay the sign said that the lake is
[20:41]
on the right and the park is on the left
[20:44]
so that GPS thing is
[20:48]
wrong so we're going to be closer to the
[20:51]
ocean then we are to the lake but we can
[20:55]
go to both
[20:57]
cool a whole different Lake CLE walks
[21:02]
Lake but this park is
[21:06]
amazing overnight camp sand dun's picnic
[21:09]
area day use picnic
[21:12]
area okay let's go look
[21:18]
around we've had lots of
[21:20]
rain I have a
[21:24]
permit it's digital
[21:27]
though you know what I was here this is
[21:29]
where I stopped and there was like you
[21:31]
have to pay to be here I came
[21:34]
here this is where I stopped oh my God
[21:37]
this happens to me every time every time
[21:39]
I end up
[21:40]
somewhere like I end up back there like
[21:44]
it happened with K
[21:48]
Blanco Humbug Mountain just everywhere I
[21:51]
go it's like the places that resonate
[21:53]
with me I end up going back to
[21:56]
them how fascinating this is exactly
[21:59]
where I stopped I remember
[22:05]
now it's a tiny little
[22:10]
lake so technically I have a permit but
[22:13]
I don't have a printed
[22:15]
out I got one for being a
[22:22]
volunteer so if I see a ranger or
[22:24]
something I'll just tell them
[22:28]
[Music]
[22:30]
cool I want to work
[22:42]
[Music]
[22:46]
here so this is just Lake
[22:49]
access and I think it's probably a small
[22:52]
Lake probably a small
[22:54]
Lake let's go check the other part out
[22:56]
this is the part I drove on I don't
[22:58]
think I even went to the no I did cuz
[23:00]
the other okay so the other part is
[23:01]
where all the buildings are and that's
[23:03]
where the ranger would be if they're
[23:07]
around oh no this is where I saw them
[23:10]
okay I just knew there was a big
[23:18]
building okay we'll go check the other
[23:21]
place out oh sandun
[23:25]
Trail wonder how long that is we have
[23:28]
got to look this stuff up on guia
[23:31]
GPS this is where I came and I stopped
[23:34]
here and I turned around this is as far
[23:36]
as I have
[23:37]
been on the Oregon
[23:41]
[Music]
[23:42]
coast it's nice back
[23:49]
here that's so fascinating cuz I
[23:52]
remember that I was at Honeyman State
[23:55]
Park I just remember them being like you
[23:58]
have have to pay to be here it's a state
[24:01]
park and you're going to make me pay to
[24:03]
be at a
[24:12]
park don't know if I went to the other
[24:15]
side or not I definitely went on that
[24:19]
side I probably just left I was like he
[24:21]
tried to make me pay I'm
[24:24]
leaving but there's a little spot to
[24:26]
look out there
[24:36]
so where's the campground and stuff then
[24:39]
this is overnight camp that's not the
[24:43]
campground oh yeah it's a huge
[24:45]
Campground maybe we're not on
[24:49]
the H the sometimes our day users are
[24:54]
quite separate from the campground so we
[24:56]
might have to go somewhere else
[25:14]
okay picnic area restrooms and an
[25:16]
overnight camp overnight camp the back
[25:19]
but that's just a very small little spot
[25:21]
there there not even wor SE let's go
[25:23]
this way
[25:25]
[Music]
[25:33]
overnight camps different than even um
[25:36]
the Hiker Biker camps there's a dump
[25:39]
station around
[25:43]
here all
[25:46]
right just a little tiny body of water
[25:49]
how
[25:50]
cool wait a minute they got a gate house
[25:53]
back here this might be the campground
[25:56]
doesn't look right though there's not
[25:57]
enough Loops down there
[26:01]
oh yep it is cuz there's the H Loop Dune
[26:04]
access for H Loop campers only that's
[26:06]
the one that I would be at is on the H
[26:08]
Loop we made it
[26:11]
here all right let me find a place to
[26:14]
parking do some stuff this park is huge
[26:18]
we are up here at the front there's a
[26:20]
Welcome Center way over here that's
[26:22]
probably where I'd be working actually
[26:24]
now I think about it and there's parking
[26:26]
all over and there's showers and
[26:28]
basically every Loop has a shower house
[26:32]
so we can check those out but back
[26:35]
here's where I be the H
[26:37]
Loop huge parking space probably because
[26:40]
of all the Doom buggies and stuff this
[26:42]
is the only place you can stay if you
[26:43]
want to do the Doom bugging thing and
[26:46]
then one of those is going to be a host
[26:51]
site it's right next to the gate they
[26:54]
said oh right there 383 okay right next
[26:57]
to the gate right across across the
[26:58]
street from
[27:00]
it so cool we got to check this out the
[27:04]
sites are really spread out um this has
[27:07]
more of a k Blanco vibe to it like you'd
[27:11]
have more privacy here and stuff
[27:13]
like you would this would be a nice
[27:16]
place to be the host sites probably
[27:18]
aren't like that we're about to find
[27:22]
out see who's out here I already saw
[27:24]
someone go by on a skateboard to go drop
[27:26]
his trash shop he was took a skateboard
[27:29]
down
[27:30]
to get his trash to the
[27:33]
[Music]
[27:35]
dumpster let's see oh look at that thing
[27:38]
wow that's the size of my
[27:41]
Jeep so there are definitely people
[27:47]
here these ones are pretty close
[27:50]
together some of them are just space
[27:52]
down more like cap Bono and then cap
[27:54]
Bono also had some like these it
[27:55]
definitely has the same vibe
[27:58]
so that's the park host so that that
[28:01]
would be me 370 right
[28:04]
there that's okay and here's the parking
[28:08]
area I did not see a
[28:13]
gate let's see
[28:19]
[Music]
[28:21]
here there's the shower houses boy their
[28:24]
Doom buggies are huge they're the size
[28:26]
of my Jeep I didn't realize
[28:29]
this that's
[28:32]
incredible truly that
[28:36]
is okay here's the park Coast that's the
[28:39]
one I'd be at right there cuz I bet you
[28:41]
the gate is right
[28:43]
here yeah so there's that one right
[28:46]
there that's where the park Coast is at
[28:48]
and here's the gate to the
[28:50]
bees so wow they got
[28:53]
some he's just staring at me whatever
[28:57]
you he had this look on his face
[28:59]
you dude you're a park host you
[29:01]
shouldn't be such an
[29:09]
wow give me a nasty
[29:14]
look
[29:20]
[Music]
[29:22]
whatever so where are we going to park
[29:26]
at so
[29:29]
golf cart oh there's so many hostes back
[29:31]
here like what are they all
[29:33]
doing this is all one little
[29:38]
[Music]
[29:41]
Loop where is he going to go park in the
[29:43]
back I don't really care what that guy
[29:45]
thinks that guy's opinion on me is not
[29:49]
important all right let's go park
[29:51]
somewhere just met two of the rangers
[29:54]
they were awesome had a we had a good
[29:56]
chance asked them some questions I'm
[29:58]
walking on the
[30:05]
dunes they said to just go a little ways
[30:09]
then you would go to the right but we're
[30:10]
out on the dunes already and look at
[30:12]
this they have paths
[30:14]
so it's
[30:17]
structured guess that makes sense I was
[30:19]
wondering how they stayed safe out
[30:21]
here but there's some signs up here
[30:23]
let's go check that out maybe it's this
[30:25]
way
[30:31]
this is so
[30:38]
cool so maybe this is part of the
[30:41]
national Recreation
[30:44]
Area it's just they get access through
[30:47]
the state
[30:48]
somehow I don't know where are
[30:52]
we let's see here we got to be somewhere
[30:55]
around here
[30:58]
it's we're near clearw walks Lake I
[31:03]
think H it's there a little star around
[31:06]
here
[31:08]
somewhere I'm not seeing
[31:10]
one we're 2 miles from the ocean they
[31:13]
told
[31:23]
me this is incredible like I'm just like
[31:27]
what is this is
[31:30]
amazing
[31:32]
um no idea where we are
[31:35]
though oh well I'll just Che I'll check
[31:39]
figure we basically right on the edge of
[31:42]
the property and it leads to the
[31:44]
national forest and a couple miles to
[31:46]
the ocean there's Trails over there I
[31:48]
have a feeling that this gate it's just
[31:49]
sucked to keep the Doom buggies out you
[31:52]
know doesn't mean you can't walk that
[31:53]
way that's probably the trail they were
[31:56]
talking about
[31:58]
so I'm walking back that way it be nice
[32:01]
to see some of them out here although I
[32:03]
guess they could get stuck in the
[32:06]
mud
[32:08]
um the Rangers were telling me a little
[32:10]
bit about how I drive my Jeep out here
[32:13]
and they're saying deflate your tires a
[32:15]
little bit they they weren't like like
[32:18]
experts on this so um you know they're
[32:24]
like cautious about what they said they
[32:26]
didn't want to give bad information
[32:28]
which you know awesome you know this
[32:30]
gate though you can't really get around
[32:33]
this but it says Motor Vehicles
[32:37]
prohibited the Rangers told me I could
[32:39]
go this way
[32:40]
so we're just going under around we're
[32:43]
going this
[32:44]
way I got
[32:47]
permission uhoh I already forgot one of
[32:49]
their
[32:51]
names I won't lie he was pretty
[32:55]
attractive and there was another one
[32:58]
got an interesting name but I'm not
[33:00]
going to share this on
[33:02]
camera
[33:04]
um so yeah just some kind of rock path
[33:06]
through the dunes so they must have put
[33:09]
these rocks here this must get
[33:11]
maintained
[33:21]
somehow definitely makes it easier to
[33:23]
walk
[33:44]
yeah I resonate with this place for
[33:47]
sure holy I want to be
[33:51]
here this is where I want to be
[33:57]
ah I remember his name
[34:00]
now this place is
[34:04]
incredible
[34:06]
man if I could be around places like
[34:09]
this all the time I'd be
[34:11]
happy they got those limits on how long
[34:13]
you can volunteer
[34:16]
for how long you can stay when you're
[34:18]
not
[34:19]
volunteering you know it's
[34:22]
like there are some places you just
[34:24]
resonate with you could just
[34:28]
I'm not settling down don't get me wrong
[34:31]
but I wouldn't want to set a time limit
[34:34]
on a place like
[34:36]
this I want to stay here until I felt
[34:38]
ready to move
[34:44]
on I wonder what their management unit
[34:47]
is cuz they might manage other Parks too
[34:49]
that you can volunteer at you can extend
[34:50]
your stay that
[34:54]
way I'll ask a Monday
[35:00]
we are
[35:00]
in some mix of dunes and
[35:05]
Forest 2 miles to the ocean that's not
[35:08]
bad that's an easy
[35:11]
hike I mean we're heading that way as
[35:14]
far as I
[35:18]
know check my cell service see how
[35:20]
that's
[35:21]
doing looks like we got a steep climb
[35:24]
over
[35:25]
here and I've been being careful my core
[35:30]
muscles but we are definitely going over
[35:33]
this
[35:36]
Doom I have a feeling the ocean's on the
[35:39]
other side of it
[36:09]
it's not bad my muscles are getting
[36:13]
better just want to take it easy
[36:16]
cuz really want them to heal properly so
[36:20]
worried about having some kind of
[36:21]
disability or injury for the rest of my
[36:23]
life cuz that would that would devastate
[36:26]
me
[36:29]
so
[36:31]
wow more Dunes oh
[36:43]
wow okay so not the
[36:46]
ocean going to walk some more
[36:50]
Dunes old
[36:54]
GRE this is awesome
[36:59]
