good morning everyone Eric here from nomadic fanatic hope you guys are doing
well it is time finally for the new intro is finally complete you ready for this guys
what do you think guys let me know in the comments below what do you think of the new intro and going
back to that nostalgic sound I like it I like it we got sunshine a little bit of blue skies up
there I just dumped my RB tank and got water for free at a Washington state rest area we're good
for another seven days it's gonna be a scorcher the next couple days so see these tall trees
I need to go find some shade even if I have to run my generator for a little bit for the
batteries right now I feel like I don't want to have to run the air conditioner
so we're gonna go into the woods probably the capital state forest
today thanks for joining me guys I love this little route through Highway 12 here
it's just it's like shade and sunshine and lots and lots of green trees
um you need to stop and get some gas though first so we'll get on I-5 here in about 20
minutes and then I want to check out a brand new gas station we'll see what prices are when
we get there here yeah so here exit 99 off I-5 uh across the street is the pilot it's a
really old pilot but it's a travel station except there it's very hard to get an RV
through there and they're always so full so I believe that's why they built this brand new
Flying J on this side of the interstate brand new I haven't even been here supposedly it's
supposed to be more friendly and welcoming to RVS Oh weird they forgot to add a turn lane in there
oh I see we gotta go up here to another roundabout boy they love their roundabouts around here
all right and then once we go around the roundabout
come all the way back to the interstate and there's a driveway over here that is interesting
very interesting okay yeah I think I see some RV Lanes guys lots and lots of RVs see this sign in
front of us RVs oh you got to be kidding me they got they got semi trucks sleeping in the RV Lanes
you know what this is not gonna work thank you so neither of these are RVs but they're going
to use it anyway and there's a truck parked in the other RV Lane can't even get propane
all right scan or swipe my Good Sam's card here and then in just a minute
I have 472 is going to change to four 60 come on come come on it's gonna do it 467.
foreign
up I went in and talked to management there about that and uh once again just like Cracker Barrel
she said well once they go to sleep there's nothing we can do well I'll bet if they've
actually blocked the entire entrance to the whole gas station there's something that you would do
just thankful I'm gonna be able to get some gas anyway cool beans I also filled up my little five
gallon tank that's under my table for my inverter generator because I'm probably gonna need it this
weekend let's go over to Capital State Forest here we go back roads in the bushes off to the left you
can't see but we're starting to see some rigs in there the entrance of the campground I believe
it's been hard to see but I think it's right up here yeah and uh Smuggler's Poker Run it's been
a while since I've been here guys do you guys remember what happened the last time I was here
at middle waddle a couple months ago in June flooded out we smashed records for rain here
at this Campground and I got flooded into my campsite literally the wettest month of June
in the history of keeping records yeah it was nasty and I was stuck with the motorcycle
now I have the car well let's go see let's go see how many other people had the idea of camping
anyone no that's a tent there's a tent there we'll find something we'll find something Eric
oh even this crummy one right here is taken that's not good A5 is taken that's a really good sight
A6 looks like a freaking party looks like they live there holy cow uh oh no well I can confirm
that a-loop is completely 100 full let's go check bee Loop over here there's the campost there
it's this one oh I almost didn't see the tents in there they're like green tents that blend in
hmm this is my favorite site here at the whole park beef B5 right here
such a great site there's a little downhill park down there um oh guys we may not be camping this
weekend after all all right last try see Loop praying that somebody just left five minutes ago
just left it open for me or they're gonna pull out right when we get there seven C8
nobody appears to be packing up and leaving in C9
crumbsicles all of a sudden now that it's not raining every day camping is popular in this state
and this sign says Exit this site right here where this Wilderness trailer is that's the
one that flooded on me back in June flooded bad you guys remember that one it was bad
there might be like two more sites nope I see tents on both of these too
I can honestly say that this has never happened in my life never I'm born and
raised here I've never not gotten a campsite I even teased sometimes
and said well I wonder if there's going to be any then we get here and nobody's here
now apparently uh August 1st is the date where everything fills up all the time
there's one more camps campground to go try I don't like Margaret McKinney that much but
it's all that's left we're gonna have to go try there right now you guys remember
Sherman Valley Dawn Fall Creek gone uh a lot of campgrounds got demolished around here
here we go wait a minute wait a minute why does it say road closed
what does that mean strange pull off the road here
foreign
s a lot more Margaret McKinney Campground is closed guys I
cannot believe that I thought out of all the like every single Park that
I could possibly think of I would never think that Margaret McKinney would close
what am I gonna do you buy the discovery I got two
discover passes and I can't even use them this Summer
I'm gonna get out of this little turn just in case man and I feel really weird
maybe it's time to leave kitties maybe maybe we just got to leave the state now
I need to get parked and do some research and make a few phone calls
so that's what we're gonna do here in Tumwater and somebody on City Council in Tumwater has a serious
fetish with these roundabouts I mean it is ridiculous how many roundabouts there are
get out of one round about 50 feet later there's another you guessed it roundabout
just stupid really stupid they just they love their roundabouts around here
hey Karen what are you working on today oh I've been this whole morning I found another spot where
we could add another roundabout technically I mean it'll barely fit but I really think we
need another one well you know Karen if we don't spend every dime of this taxpayer money we're just
gonna have to give it back to the citizens okay well then let's add another roundabout
uh I don't know about this Walmart in Tumwater I'm actually going to go past this entrance
let me go to this next one up here beard got a bunch of trailers here but I think
I don't hit this curb I can go like this and then I can get the car up off the road
like that yeah see this one in Tumwater unlike Lacey Walmart that has signs everywhere that says
you can overnight park and the Lacy city ordinance and stuff like that I don't see any signs but I
got to do some research on the computer Okie Doby's should we get the AC going all right I
gotta put the tubes in the window there we go Opie I just turned it on for you you know where's Tara
Tara bear let me get my laptop and uh do a little bit of research here to make some phone calls all
right I love your little cute little purple Mickey collar there with a little Mickey heads on it
yeah good girl and obese yours looks handsome with the blue yeah you know I woke up today determined
that no matter what I was gonna have a good day and stay in good spirits right now I'm not so sure
about that anymore I will say that this has never happened to me in my entire life in in 11 years
of living in an RV everywhere in the country this has never happened I called 19 state parks County
Parks and private Parks from here all the way to Spokane Washington and down to Portland Oregon
nothing guys there is not one place to camp anywhere in the northwest
never had this problem uh nothing like this has ever happened to me like usually there's
at least one site somewhere I don't care 150 a night at a KOA yeah there's nothing
Opie we're gonna have to do something here buddy this isn't gonna work I'll just mention
the the lady at Olympia Campground it's kind of nearby here she did put me on a wait list
in case somebody doesn't show up tomorrow then I can have it for the whole weekend but as we stand
right well there was another campground what was that one there was one up in Lakewood Tacoma area
she she laughed at me over the phone and she said are you kidding me you're not gonna find a single
night to camp anywhere in this state for the rest of the summer the whole the whole State's booked
up like even every Camp I'm like well I got a lot of other things I've got I've got the DNR
stuff so I can go to those campgrounds it's just it's all first come first served now you know
so yeah I'm Gonna Make a list Opie you are too cute to toot I'm Gonna Make a list of all the
campgrounds that turn me down and then if Tumwater police or people from Walmart come out and say
what are you doing I'm gonna be like what do you want me to do no seriously dude stop being so cute
I can't believe you it just cannot can't stand how cute you are
I will at least point out it's been pretty quiet and peaceful and easy going here at Walmart since
I've been here today as the sun has just set in fact look at that Sunset up in the distance though
yeah but yeah it's gonna get dark here pretty soon and then I'm probably gonna feel a little
bit bit better and I did completely stock up on groceries so at least there's that
um well I'm humble enough to at least tell you this when I left on this trip
um I brought only one game system with me and you know I have a lot I chose to bring my PS4
with all my games you know how many times I have used my PS4 since I left the shop in May
zero times uh so uh before I left Aberdeen yesterday I piled up all the chords components
games controllers and everything brought it into game freaks of Aberdeen and said hey can I trade
this for a a Nintendo 64 system yeah in fact I had thirty dollars left over cash on top of it
probably still a bad deal to most people but it all comes down to how much fun and enjoyment you
get out of something and I I love my Nintendo 64. don't know why I chose to leave it behind with all
of my games but we got one tell me that doesn't bring back all the good memories and feels guys
yep I got a few games to go with it I'm not really into many of these Duty Kong Racing this MRC is
actually a really fun game uh if you like the Nintendo 64 system I'll give you a little update
here a little tip go on Amazon and for about 70 bucks you can get the ed64 Plus guess what this
is guys literally every single Nintendo 64 game on one cartridge that's right so this is what it
looks like when you first turn it on uh these are basically all ROMs playing from an emulator built
into the cartridge but you have every single title if we scroll over and go through there in
alphabetical order here every single game from North America is in this list all 314 I think
titles so we'll go ahead and get started with this it takes about five seconds to load each
game and then everything's like normal same old controller as normal also you don't need a memory
pack it'll save automatically to this system it'll it'll save to the actual cartridge that's
such a classic GoldenEye 007 this is the one of the best games for the Nintendo 64 system yeah
gotta start a new Mission here so we're starting from scratch we'll do agent oh
it just comes right back to me yeah
that's a good one
see in the tunnel
ah he lost his hand okay and now evening is upon us although it is still really bright they have
got this side of the lot lit up like a Christmas tree I think we're gonna be okay guys as long as
there's not one clip after this one then I made it through the night to live to see one more day and
figure things out tomorrow for the rest of the summer Opie and Tara and I will see you in the
next one in a few days thanks for being patient with me guys things don't always go as planned
but as you know I share how it really is so please consider giving me a thumbs up on the video leave
a comment and subscribe if you haven't already I love you guys bye-bye hey everybody I'm cutting
back in this morning but don't worry no problem staying here at the Walmart in Tumwater however
I do feel like I was a little lucky because you never know with with these and I probably won't
do it again for a very long time here so we'll be moving on today and making another video but
I did want to cut in real quick because I have some unfortunate news good friend of mine James
from Wanderlust estate actually recently got into an accident he was rear-ended while Towing his car
behind the RV similar to what I do unfortunately the car that was at fault for hitting him does
not have insurance so James's car actually got totaled he posted on Facebook and another friend
of James set up a GoFundMe to help him out I will link that in my video description below
that's a GoFundMe to help James get a car back quickly because he needs it for work and and
it's going to be really complicated trying to sort out how to get everything fixed without
full coverage on the car but he has it on the RV and and how that's gonna all gonna work but
uh he could really use some help so if you have any way of helping James there's a link in the
video description and I really appreciate you helping out the rest of the RB Community because
most of the people here are freaking cool all right guys we'll see you in a few days foreign
