hey everyone Eric here nomadic fanatic case you can't tell there will always be
a special place in my heart for the Great Pacific Northwest out here it is
73 degrees nobody is out here at this campground I'm out at Lolo National
Forest a campground off i-90 in very very west Montana and it's amazing I was
blessed to get a site that does have a picnic table somebody even left some
firewood over there to have a little real fire tonight got me worried about
5,000 feet here and this campground I mean I am all the way back on my slip
you could probably fit four more feet so a 36 foot RV might might fit and this
place is just and if you like nature I still call this camping even though
there's no hookups it's $10 a night for no hookups you just get a little slab
concrete there a fire ring a picnic table but I mean I don't I don't even
want hookups like why would I would I go to a campground with hookups when I can
be out here as you can see I mean it's wide open in Montana there's there's
really no reason to leave Montana except for the fact that eventually I'm gonna
have to dump my tanks and get water and get groceries so you can't stay out
wilderness forever look at this Wow nestled among the pine trees yeah I'm
not even take the motorcycle off the back cuz I'm not going anywhere
I'm just gonna be camping tonight and having a little campfire that sounds
like the best option possible nobody's here guys nobody's here did you see this
in my intro we got the Northwest moss coming back so
I mean there is some Sun but this doesn't see a whole lot of Sun that's
why you have this green yellowy moss oh it's so fuzzy you can make a tea
with that material thanks for being here with me guys I'm back in the Pacific
Northwest we're gonna again do what we've been doing the last few videos and
there will be a couple days in mixed in with this video so tomorrow we'll wake
up together you and me that's okay and we'll hit the road hit a little sliver
of Idaho and get on into Eastern Washington which is much much different
than Western Washington I will point out but still got a in order to get to the
Pacific Ocean we do have to start somewhere in Washington State
so I may not film much of this campground and everything going on we
will have a fire tonight together but all but honestly this is just my kind of
moment you know and just soak it in Eric soak it in what's missing here a body of
water it's fine it's fine it'd be nice if there's a body of water
but I'll take what I can get Jax how you doing huh hey buddy you doing good come
on side look come outside you're allowed you're usually a pretty
good boy yeah usually lookin fer got to get those
kiddie exercises somehow huh I know I usually have you on a leash and
everything but not today cuz Dan has trust in the kitty hey hop up
everybody's like what he always hops on the table he didn't hop up you're
fooling everybody huh yeah you're tricking everybody Yeah right
ain't wrong either won't have a fire about the wait a little bit huh because
it's just so hot on Jax no it's 73 degrees here in Montana whoo that's
probably warm for this area this time of year actually yeah yeah yeah okay
Jax likes campfires though no not really Jax slick streets checks two-way streets
mostly yeah thanks dad okay we'll definitely be able to get it started
eventually but today has been different in the sense that I'm camping in the
woods so usually I'm camping in an area that's wide open I'm getting plenty of
solar here well it's a little trickier because the
trees are so tall we're getting something but how are we really doing
it's about 7:30 p.m. in West Montana I'm running three different fans to DC fans
and AC fan inside the RV and we are at 97.1%
still almost owner % still at 7:30 p.m. that's impressive I thought I was gonna
have to use my generator tonight to catch up but we're gonna be okay because
we drove so much to get here when I got here this afternoon we were fully
charged so I'm not watching TV I'm not running an air conditioner because the
73 degrees so we're actually good it's awesome it's still quiet all right
another like two hours and then we'll try to get this fire started cannot find
my torch no propane torch I have not been able to find it so I'm gonna have
to rely on some cardboard products and paper and a normal lighter and hopefully
wouldn't get her done
good morning everyone I have decided that politics and current
events and everything is not worth my time anymore so I'm just gonna stay out
in the woods for a few more years so much so much better out here you know I
mean I had a really good night out here good fire good night I'll miss this
place but now I have a new campground to add to my list Montana next I might come
back or we can try a different National Forest
let's see time to get on the road we've got some miles to cover today I'm gonna
go grab lunch with a friend two states away so let's go let's pack it up
all right just made it that the huge grade between Montana and Idaho
look at that entering Pacific time zone welcome to Idaho everyone beautiful out
here
it's nice it's noise I don't know if there's Co big concerns in Idaho or not
I'm not sticking around to find out gotta get it over to Washington State I
have got to find and fix that squeak rattle I cannot tell where it's coming
from the driver's seat while the driving I'm gonna have somebody else drive the
RV and I'm gonna go walk around and find it fix it
I just got gas here in Post Falls Idaho I am five miles from the Washington
State border and I got gas for a dollar ninety-nine because it goes up about 55
cents a gallon once you get over into Washington so I'm bringing some I don't
gas over with me to our left you'll see welcome to Washington sign right there
honestly probably the nicest welcome I've ever got to Spokane it's 73 degrees
full of sunshine not raining on my first day back in Washington State
got a parking spot over here Mary and I are gonna go try some lunch there's some
restaurants open here in Spokane so I'm gonna go get my first official
Washington burger I can smell the beer no lie brew house what's it stand for
northern is light north Northern Light beer I can smell it look at this place
look at the art on the wall very nice it looks kind of like a Disney gondola but
this was used at the Waterfront Park here in Spokane that's one of their old
gondolas Lee they saved looks like a theme park
there's some souvenirs but no magnets Oh Smokey Bear there we're gonna go try to
find a table outside I think we eat outsides it's nice outside yeah well
they do have some seating outside check out the Spokane River guys I got to get
my Washington state fishing license and they have a they're going paperless menu
so you got to scan the QR code there and then it pulls up the menu on your phone
do they burgers they better have burgers it's not my cheat day specifically today
but I'm gonna cheat anyway because coming back to Washington State feels
good and I'm gonna be hanging out here in the Spokane area the RVs in a safe
spot so I may try some of their local craft beers here - hey Mary say hi to
all my viewers oh I seen you on my channel B bar what did you get there I
have the corner Coast ale nice so they have they have a lot of different
options here so I decided to just go on a flight and try a whole bunch of
different stuff we're gonna start with the date fade huckleberry seltzer okay
Cheers Mary Cheers
hmmm that's not bad by the way I did not pick these out I asked to be surprised
by my bartender so she did surprise me gonna go with the corner Coast ale the
one that Mary had over there cheers oh wow that's got some extra extra juicy
flavor there at the end hmmm I didn't film it but I did like the
big juicy that was my favorite of the three I've tried food has arrived guys I
got my bacon burger hamburger with cheese and beer batter pressure juice
thank you for the ketchup so we're gonna try this guy out my first Washington
burger of 2020 Mary got is that chicken chicken it's a honey mustard spicy
chicken perfect except I can't moan because there's a lot of people out here
mm-hmm hit the spot I was good holy cow how they do and their beer batter fries
mmm you wouldn't like it I'm gonna try the pistachio IPA statio
oh my gosh it's got like an aftertaste of almost like a mocha look like a mocha
with whipped cream what the heck my taste buds are going
crazy I like that one that's my new favorite all right burgers
done I'm gonna try the last one the RW easy it's kind of hazy it's really
delicious but I do have to claim a winner and my winner is going to be the
pistachio IPA and I'm not an IPA guy so that's really weird for me to say to my
viewers but that was the best out of those six in my opinion okay even though
they didn't have magnets they did make it up with some really neat cool
stickers look at these stickers they need some magnets but I really
appreciate that that's cool definitely check out no lie brewery brew house here
in Spokane Washington it's worth it it's nice food was awesome I'm actually
taking home some stuff I got a growler they're not doing refills right now so
it's just $8 growlers so I picked my two favorites what was this one the
pistachio IPA and just to mix things up I got some cans to share with some
friends of the big juicy right from right here in Spokane Washington
so yeah Mary and I are gonna go check out a thrift store that's across the
street it's a big one I may post some pictures on Instagram or patreon if I
find any Mickey stuff but I'm just gonna hang out Spokane for a little bit and my
next video will hit the road so thanks for joining me guys Jax and I will see
you in a few days okay
