[0:03]good reason for that we're heading into
[0:05]Northbend hban Rich up here this is a
[0:10]nice
[0:11]view love
[0:13]this so there's this adult store right
[0:16]on the 101 in in Cay that I passed a
[0:19]bunch of times so I decided to go there
[0:20]this morning pick up some
[0:22]toys you
[0:24]know case I men need their toys I don't
[0:27]have a partner so going to get some toys
[0:30]I know people would want you to feel
[0:31]ashamed of stuff like that there's no
[0:33]reason to me have
[0:36]fun I'm going to be early they don't
[0:39]open until 10 it's only 9:20 right now
[0:41]I'll probably get their own 9:30 look at
[0:43]this guy trying to pass me on the right
[0:45]what a [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]
[0:48]you
[0:50]um what a [ __ ] [ __ ] I got to Hae
[0:53]people there's no patience in the world
[0:56]anywayss I don't know what I'm doing
[0:58]after that it's
[1:01]uh I could had North but you know I come
[1:04]South now so maybe we go to the beach
[1:06]it's very rainy today though so I'm
[1:09]going to look at the map when I get
[1:10]there just s in the parking lot waiting
[1:12]for them to open so that's that's what
[1:13]I'm trying to get
[1:15]to and I'll make plans after
[1:19]that and here we go I love this
[1:26]bridge we're going too fast let us slow
[1:29]down
[1:31]I'm going to ask somebody while I'm here
[1:33]whenever I come here at night I've come
[1:35]here for Mexican food a couple times
[1:38]there's a whole bunch of green lights on
[1:39]the water they are just so pretty I
[1:42]think it might be an airport but maybe
[1:43]it's a harbor or maybe it's a um maybe
[1:46]it's a local park you know I'm going to
[1:49]find out today if I
[1:55]can so very nice day if you like rain
[1:59]I don't mind it I like rain but I really
[2:03]wanted to commun with the ocean today
[2:05]this is the river this is not the ocean
[2:07]let's be clear about that this bridge
[2:09]takes us over a
[2:12]river very big
[2:14]river not sure which one that
[2:17]is keep
[2:23]forgetting so but the ocean is very
[2:26]close this river runs into the ocean
[2:28]somehow some way
[2:31]or where is the ocean it's on this side
[2:34]I
[2:35]think yeah it's guy be on this side
[2:38]somewhere the ocean's out there heading
[2:40]into North V for the record yes I am
[2:44]buying toys with the $200 I have left
[2:47]obviously I'm not spending all of it you
[2:49]can judge my choices or you can flow
[2:51]with it this is a thing I want that's
[2:54]going to bring bring me pleasure and
[2:56]make me happy for who knows how long
[2:59]it's a very good Investments check that
[3:01]Hill out in the distance we need to go
[3:03]that way one day look how high up that
[3:05]goes we got to drive up there and see
[3:08]what's going on over there no we're
[3:11]going to the left what's up there we
[3:14]need to
[3:16]know we got a giant boat over here
[3:19]that's so cool God I want to be on that
[3:21]thing just to go all the way up there
[3:23]princess Pacific ooh what a cool name we
[3:27]got to be here one of these days there's
[3:29]another boat down the road a little way
[3:31]as I noticed so there's two of them
[3:33]maybe we can get on one of those we made
[3:36]it we're at the adult fun center this
[3:39]very shady looking place here AI told me
[3:43]that they has a downstairs well techno I
[3:46]found out from reviews first and then I
[3:49]asked AI about it there's a downstairs
[3:51]where people go and they have sex and
[3:53]it's
[3:54]legal I'm very disgusting I would never
[3:57]do that in a million years like that is
[3:59]the grossest thing ever but like wow
[4:02]like that's a thing that actually
[4:03]happens in America so pretty
[4:07]fascinating all right so this picture
[4:10]here confirms that those lights I was
[4:12]seeing are an airport I had a feeling so
[4:15]nothing to really see there just pretty
[4:17]lights across from the bridge there's a
[4:20]whole area of Dunes you can see those on
[4:22]the map on the other side of that is the
[4:24]beach and the ocean I just got to figure
[4:26]out how to get over there I kind of know
[4:27]cuz I looked this up before but those
[4:29]Dunes look kind of interesting too
[4:31]there's a couple of places there we can
[4:32]rent ATVs and stuff like that so um
[4:36]might be worth just going over there and
[4:37]looking around and stuff I mean we're
[4:40]very close to it so to my camera I just
[4:42]thinking that propritor he saw me
[4:44]looking down at the stairs I'm like cuz
[4:46]I'm like I know what's going on down
[4:47]there you know I'm just looking cuz I'm
[4:49]curious and this man's like you can just
[4:52]tell like you you want to go down there
[4:54]like he didn't say that he was
[4:56]like I remember what he said with man
[4:58]that is way he applied like he's like he
[5:00]just go down there that's a popular
[5:02]place but I the first went there like
[5:04]who could possibly have been there
[5:05]should have asked him though was anyone
[5:07]attractor go down there you know like I
[5:10]was like yeah I know what goes on down
[5:11]there I saw some reviews and he was like
[5:13]oh reviews like he got a little bit
[5:15]nervous about that I don't know why is
[5:17]legal and I'm just like he's asking me
[5:20]what are these reviews I'm like they're
[5:21]discreet you know I just I know what's
[5:23]going on down there because of these
[5:26]reviews he's this older man who's just
[5:28]like he's
[5:31]like he reminds me of like like the one
[5:34]gay guy from um the bird cage he's just
[5:37]all fed up with cusb in the rain and
[5:40]he's like I'm selling this place been
[5:42]here for decades I'm going back to
[5:44]California all my friends are like this
[5:46]man is just like I'm like can I just
[5:49]shop in peace like I'm trying to figure
[5:50]out what kind of dildo I want you know
[5:52]or pocket py like I this man just
[5:56]checked I'm like I got what I wanted
[6:00]then play with them then maybe oh look
[6:02]at the rain stopped oh we got to stay
[6:05]outside now no more
[6:09]rain well it's sprinkling but it's not
[6:13]raining we got to go
[6:15]somewhere anyway maybe I'll think about
[6:17]it or just go down there and see what it
[6:20]looks like you don't have to do
[6:22]anything see what's going on down there
[6:25]what do they have TVs with porn on them
[6:27]or what like what's happening down there
[6:29]I bet they have little Ms oh my God I
[6:32]bet you they
[6:33]do but no have to be attractive like no
[6:38]it's a random stranger that I don't even
[6:41]know what looks like
[6:45]no maybe I don't
[6:48]know almost back all right a little tiny
[6:53]bit of way left still let me just
[6:55]clarify oh this hiking trail I really
[6:57]want to see this hiking trail maybe we
[7:00]won't go there today let me look that up
[7:02]on the map CU it's very close to the
[7:03]campground that's like right very close
[7:07]so this one it says yell Creek
[7:09]Campground so I'll look for that on the
[7:10]map Oregon dunes natural Recreation Area
[7:13]there somewhere very close to that
[7:15]there's this Trail a very big trail hat
[7:17]so I'm very curious about
[7:21]it okay um so I just going to say
[7:24]like I'm open to new experiences like
[7:27]you know life is short like why not have
[7:30]some
[7:31]fun even when some people thinks it's
[7:33]strange or they want to judge it or
[7:35]whatever like I really don't give a [ __ ]
[7:38]what Society
[7:40]thinks if you can you know un touch your
[7:43]edges edges are important it's important
[7:46]to test
[7:47]them so yeah oh I bet they live in a
[7:51]nice place up there on that
[7:54]hill so where whe are
[8:00]very quick um you know you go from being
[8:03]55 M an hour down to zero to get to this
[8:11]Campground cuz everybody's tailgating
[8:14]you cuz they're [ __ ]
[8:17][ __ ] all
[8:19]right I am home my home for
[8:25]January no rain we got lucky maybe we
[8:28]could go I going to check that trail hat
[8:30]out I bet William M tugman State Park
[8:35]they named The Parks after random Park
[8:36]Service people so they're not like
[8:38]they're not famous Jesus that scared the
[8:40]crap out of
[8:42]me my thone can't be hooked up for some
[8:45]reason it's saying there's a moisture
[8:46]warning when I plug it into my car my
[8:48]Jeep I don't understand that cuz there's
[8:50]no moisture I have my vape sit on I
[8:53]think maybe the magnet made
[8:55]it did something but even I've been
[8:58]waiting a while still not working I
[9:00]can't charge my phone can't listen to my
[9:02]music oh there's the woman
[9:05][Music]
[9:07]um let's just drive by I am parked it's
[9:12]not it was I thought it was the van
[9:13]lifer that um I've been talking to and
[9:16]just stck down social at the moment so
[9:18]wasn't her though it was a different
[9:19]person different band lifer we're going
[9:21]to go play with some
[9:22]toys okay had some fun had some lunch
[9:27]looked at the trail it's very close
[9:30]and it takes you through a forest and
[9:32]then to some Dunes eventually probably
[9:34]to the ocean um didn't
[9:37]didn't read anything that said the ocean
[9:39]just doed so um and I don't want to hike
[9:43]too much cuz my core muscles are still
[9:45]healing but we'll hike a little bit so
[9:47]we'll go find this Trail it's a circular
[9:49]Trail so it might not go to the ocean
[9:51]actually but we'll find out more when we
[9:53]get there cuz there will be signs and
[9:54]things to look at so yeah let's head out
[9:58]we are here
[10:00]John dback noon's trail
[10:07]head like to see their
[10:12]Campground there one person
[10:15]here making starts there I guess there
[10:18]are the informational
[10:21]signs find not what's going on here so
[10:25]that place requires a fee I got to go up
[10:27]to Reedsport to buy an annual
[10:29]pass could have done it electronically
[10:32]but I'd rather have something on my
[10:33]vehicle make the very clear that that
[10:35]thing is paid
[10:37]for um there are two different kinds of
[10:40]passes one of them covered the state
[10:41]parks but I get those for free so that's
[10:44]not
[10:47]helpful I don't know I'm going to need
[10:51]it though cuz all this stuff around here
[10:52]is all national
[10:54]forest like literally I think they
[10:56]control all the dunes or something
[11:00]I've seen a lot of their stuff
[11:01]everywhere I've been going up north here
[11:03]so we might as well just get that over
[11:05]with CU I planed to do it anyways we got
[11:08]some wild weather
[11:12]today limited
[11:15]visibility oh yeah I to turn my lights
[11:22]on all right I got my pass I'm at a nice
[11:26]lady there God that thing's annoying
[11:28]it's cuz I can't plug my phone in oh my
[11:30]God
[11:32]anyways so I met a nice lady there I
[11:35]asked her about volunteer opportunity
[11:37]she gave me a application to filled out
[11:39]and a phone number someone to call who
[11:42]coordinates all that cuz I have stuff
[11:44]lining up from
[11:48]well Mar up till the end of March and
[11:51]maybe until May because I emailed
[11:53]someone yesterday last night about April
[11:57]May my phone rings a lot
[12:00]so April May I might be at another
[12:03]campgr and just you know I haven't heard
[12:05]back from that but anyway so between
[12:08]April and May I'll either be there or
[12:10]maybe I'll be with the National Forest
[12:11]Service here on the dunes or maybe you
[12:15]know over the summer or something so I
[12:17]got to learn more about that that would
[12:20]be cool it expands to different places
[12:22]that I've volunteering for still have to
[12:26]find
[12:26]hardville I think I ever even noticed
[12:29]this sign here wow I don't think we're
[12:32]going 10 miles though this is the other
[12:34]place in my management
[12:37]area um I'm lighthouse we do need to go
[12:40]check that out I've seen it it's pretty
[12:42]it's a cool Lighthouse there's all kind
[12:44]of stuff happening there
[12:47]too um the Coast Guard is there and the
[12:50]county is what controls the lighthouse
[12:53]and the state park of course there's a
[12:55]whole lot happening there but we're
[12:57]going to go back to that trail head
[13:00]I don't we're not 10 miles from that I
[13:01]don't think hope not guess we could be
[13:06]though there's a little bit of a
[13:08]distance between the two
[13:10]parts well it is what it is I guess we
[13:13]are back we got our PA we know we're
[13:17]getting in
[13:20]trouble I don't see any
[13:22]like that sign doesn't tell you about
[13:25]the map there's no map on that sign
[13:26]there
[13:29]okay please stay on trail where's the
[13:33]trail I know there's one this way so
[13:35]it's probably where we got to
[13:37]go oh okay so that billboard was all
[13:40]about pay us all kinds of different ways
[13:44]there's another billboard up
[13:47]here all right hiker Trail
[13:52]no yep hiker
[13:56]Tria closed
[13:59]Motor Vehicles horses and pack stock
[14:07]okay there are probably some signs there
[14:09]there were probably a map there but not
[14:12]anymore so okay we're here we can get to
[14:17]the campground from here
[14:19]okay interpretive Loop and then to the
[14:22]beach oh my God we can get to the ocean
[14:23]from here at least 4 hours for the Six
[14:27]Mile round trimp
[14:29]dramatic dunes and tree
[14:31]Islands oh
[14:34][ __ ] let's
[14:37]go
[14:39]um oh I love this
[14:42]bridge 4 hours in the
[14:46]rain maybe I really want to see this
[14:49]Campground though cuz could end up
[14:51]volunteering there one
[14:53]day might be a really nice I like the
[14:56]National Forest campground they're very
[14:58]rustic usually
[14:59]I took I was on quite a few on my way
[15:01]here um from Kentucky so I've seen some
[15:05]pretty bad showers too or actually not
[15:07]even showers just yeah showers the
[15:11]worst truly the worst one I've ever seen
[15:14]with the Mark Twain National Forest
[15:17]so oh this is going to be nice it's been
[15:20]a while since I was on a hiking trail
[15:22]not on the
[15:25]ocean oh this wonderful all right
[15:30]all the work they put into
[15:38]this got some
[15:40]elevations I should probably pull up a
[15:42]map on guide GPS and download that get
[15:44]an offline version just in case didn't
[15:47]exactly become come
[15:50]prepared I normally wouldn't though
[15:53]but now I know I'm I'm not Invincible
[15:57]cuz my core muscles
[16:00]maybe plan a little bit
[16:02]better this is
[16:05]awesome so if we go straight we're going
[16:07]to end up in the
[16:09]campground or we could turn left here
[16:11]and go towards the
[16:13]beach
[16:16]probably let's find out according to the
[16:19]weather app there's no more rain during
[16:23]the day not until tonight so we might
[16:25]head out
[16:26]there like I can tell my corn muscles
[16:29]are still
[16:30]sore I would want to go slow doesn't
[16:33]mean I won't do it just I want to do a
[16:35]little bit
[16:37]slower so yeah we'll go check this
[16:39]Campground out we'll try to get to the
[16:42]beach it said sixmile round trip I think
[16:44]it said so we're about 3 miles something
[16:47]about
[16:48]rain so this is where to
[16:50]come now I got to pass every day I could
[16:53]come here way better than that
[16:57]Lake long track out to the ocean [ __ ]
[17:00]yeah if you look closely in the distance
[17:03]you can see close up on liners all over
[17:08]the
[17:09]place which means they're dealing with
[17:11]the same problem we do with the state
[17:13]parks poverty and
[17:16]homelessness it would be a lot cheaper
[17:18]to stay here probably I
[17:20]think especially for The Rustic sites
[17:22]that don't have electric and water and
[17:24]all of that give them a safe place to
[17:26]be they'd have
[17:29]very basic amenities like they'd have
[17:31]access to water somewhere on the
[17:33]campground they' probably have access to
[17:35]showers and restrooms and well that's
[17:38]basically
[17:40]it but that there that was a sign that
[17:43]they're definitely dealing with the
[17:45]crisis one that's going to keep
[17:49]growing I think I think there was a
[17:51]survey or something that just recently
[17:54]came out that said that um homelessness
[17:56]had
[17:56]risen dramatically in the last year it's
[18:01]going to keep getting
[18:03]worse and I'm going to be out here
[18:05]helping as much as I can this sign says
[18:08]would you believe you are standing on a
[18:09]sand
[18:10]dune the ancient Dunes are hidden by the
[18:12]forest follow the trail to discover
[18:14]Dunes of all ages and shapes you'll be
[18:16]rewarded with the tallest Dunes on the
[18:18]coast that is cool so it's that
[18:21]phenomenon we talked about
[18:24]where things eventually grow on the
[18:26]dunes but they turn this this one into
[18:28]to a forest
[18:31]wow so it's the main trail
[18:37]there okay we can take this we're going
[18:40]to go check out the the campground first
[18:42]I saw that
[18:44]pond so this might be a kind of a small
[18:47]Campground some are quite big I don't
[18:50]know we'll see we don't know how far up
[18:51]goes the northern portion of the loop is
[18:53]easy with the compact Ser General the
[18:55]interpretive Loop you know what
[18:57]volunteers would do that
[19:00]um they were to take people on the walks
[19:01]on the interpretive Loops they're called
[19:03]interpretive hosts or something like
[19:06]that we're going to go check this
[19:08]Campground out wow this Forest has a
[19:11]very nice feeling this Campground there
[19:13]is a
[19:14]Vibe this is a wonderful
[19:20]place if
[19:22]I I wasn't even looking to camp at
[19:25]places like this on the coast cuz
[19:27]there's so many state parks but but
[19:29]this I would want to be here this is
[19:38]wonderful so that's drinking water there
[19:41]the sites don't
[19:43]have um they're very primitive it might
[19:47]just be this loop I looked it up on Guy
[19:49]GPS we're on one Loop there's another
[19:51]loop the other way couldn't tell it
[19:53]might have been closed though cuz there
[19:54]was a gate
[19:56]blocking um but I don't know if there
[19:57]was a different entrance so we'll find
[20:01]out and here we've got
[20:04]restrooms don't know if the
[20:08]showers let's find
[20:14]out I'm back by
[20:16]sighting October
[20:24]1st no just the
[20:27]restroom um
[20:30]primitive there should be a shower
[20:36]somewhere oh this is
[20:41]awesome
[20:43]peaceful some of them are back ins sight
[20:45]some of them are pull through they've
[20:47]got some nice pull through ones not that
[20:49]far off the road
[20:52]but still
[20:54]nice I would stay here but I actually
[20:58]I have obligations now
[21:01]wow volunteering for the state parks
[21:04]like I live on
[21:06]them oh man I would love to be
[21:10]here I'm going to keep looking
[21:14]around you can see how it progressively
[21:16]becomes more sand
[21:18]dunes they're right over here
[21:20]too you know just like that just left
[21:23]the
[21:25]forest I think we might enter more
[21:27]forests sand dunes and
[21:30]Forest so this is going to be
[21:34]fascinating oh
[21:37]wow go that way this way you can see
[21:42]people's Footprints up over
[21:44]there um almost like you're in a
[21:47]desert damn you could get
[21:51]lost I feel like you could get lost for
[21:54]sure
[21:59]that's say Beach tomb Beach
[22:02]Windows all over the
[22:05]place that is a steep climb over
[22:08]there we're going to take the easier
[22:10]route like these other people
[22:14]have
[22:15]but there a sign over
[22:20]there okay and I could look at guy a
[22:24]GPS let's go see what the sun says
[22:27]anyways
[22:29]hiking on Sand is a little bit
[22:32]different I actually know because of my
[22:35]core muscle injury that it's a little
[22:38]bit harder on your
[22:39]core learned that from
[22:42]AI well from the time I went to Pistol
[22:44]River it kind of told me
[22:48]then cuz your core muscles are always
[22:50]stabilizing
[22:52]you and you're shifting on Sand so it's
[22:55]constantly working
[22:59]so we just want to take it
[23:00]slow we're not going to let that be a
[23:03]reason not to do this we're just going
[23:04]to take it
[23:05]slow this could be an interesting
[23:08]place okay that's the way back trail
[23:11]head this could to be an interesting
[23:13]place to come every
[23:16]morning way better than going to the
[23:19]lake we could probably Walk This Way and
[23:22]up
[23:23]there I love this just pick your path
[23:31]so
[23:33]cool we're up the first
[23:36]June
[23:38]wow done which way to go where you're
[23:41]going to find this ocean
[23:46]amazing that is a steep
[23:49]clim oh
[23:52]man all the
[23:55]sand
[23:57]incredible when I was a kid I hiked from
[24:00]Sand Dunes with my family in
[24:04]Michigan near the great
[24:06]lakes and I just kind of booked it I
[24:08]think I prob always that way oh several
[24:11]Dunes in front of them and then all of a
[24:14]sudden I realized I was by
[24:16]myself oh man I'm pretty sure I cried
[24:20]first time ever feeling alone you know
[24:23]like um I didn't have my mom I didn't
[24:26]have anybody I thought I for some reason
[24:29]I thought I was I'm almost sure I
[24:32]thought I was abandoned up there like
[24:35]they were like I didn't realize they
[24:37]were behind me you know they'd catch up
[24:39]somehow I just saw myself in the middle
[24:41]of these dunes and I'm like oh [ __ ] I'm
[24:45]alone I think about that not often very
[24:48]rarely I've never
[24:51]really
[24:53]um never talked about it never really
[24:56]processed it or anything just
[24:59]it's just a thing that happened to me
[25:01]once wonder if that shaped me at
[25:05]all it's pretty windy up
[25:08]here I don't know what it'll sound like
[25:10]on my camera but hopefully you can hear
[25:14]me
[25:16]wow somewhere over there is the
[25:19]ocean we got to find her if we
[25:22]can all right we're not going to make
[25:25]this journey today I let me show you
[25:29]so this is my view we're up high and
[25:33]that is quite a steep drop like look at
[25:36]that man that's actually kind of scary
[25:38]to look at holy
[25:41]crap well we're supposed to be heading
[25:43]this way maybe that
[25:47]way this is the way we
[25:50]came there's nothing we're in a desert
[25:53]made of
[25:54]sand made of ocean
[25:56]sand with this steep drop right there
[25:59]like
[26:02]wow man I would love to drive my Jeep
[26:05]out here holy [ __ ] that'd be
[26:07]fun well you can tell that's not that
[26:10]you can't do that here but well you know
[26:11]we're going to be able to do that soon
[26:13]we've got this stuff
[26:15]planned but I don't want to keep going
[26:17]because I don't have my battery charger
[26:19]my phone's at 30% if something happened
[26:22]you know I track my hikes and I know
[26:24]that uses a lot of battery power all I
[26:27]brought was a Pepsi with me you know I
[26:29]didn't really come prepared for this so
[26:30]we're not going to do anything stupid
[26:33]but I think the ocean's over there
[26:36]somewhere um behind that fog I see this
[26:38]line that could be the ocean or it could
[26:41]just be a sand
[26:43]dune so we'll be back maybe
[26:48]tomorrow we'll retrace my steps back and
[26:52]call a day cuz yeah we'll do this
[26:56]responsibly
[26:58]very cool though this is so neat this is
[27:01]not the kind of hiking I do so this is
[27:03]different this is
[27:06]interesting whole new thing to
[27:09]explore look at this Sovereign tree
[27:12]sapling in the middle of nothing but
[27:14]sand
[27:15]dunes it's all by itself and this is how
[27:19]it starts that right there it says I'm
[27:23]going to grow here I'm going to create a
[27:25]forest you just wait
[27:28]and that sapling says you can witness me
[27:30]you can watch me
[27:32]grow but you cannot prescribe me advice
[27:35]cuz I'm not asking for I got
[27:38]this you see the
[27:44]difference look at that little
[27:48]guy you don't want to bother
[27:52]him look at him
