Day two on the Oregon Coast Trail takes us south from Nehalem Bay for a day dominated by beach walking, a tiny boat crossing, unexpected rain, relentless headwinds and the discovery that not all sand is created equal. What initially looks like an easier day turns into nearly 11 challenging miles, and  convincing proof that MJ and I might actually be backpackers after all. My Tent is Not Viable! Because this pod has become all Oregon Coast all the time (and no, spoiler… more to come) I have to share yet another special creation. Newly minted Pedalshift listener and merch designer Simone was so moved by the Brock and Tim Sprocketshift disaster of night 1 that she created a special design just for the two of us… yes, my tent is not viable has now been memorialized on an ornament. But you have to see it in the shownotes at pedalshift.net. It features the classic line and… because of course… a flooded tent. Plus the new Pedalshift logo, which you might get to see soon on other things! COMING SOON. Super excited to show you what we've been working on! Go check out the special edition my tent is not viable design and more Simone's designs at her Etsy shop… link in the shownotes! Live Show! Friday September 11th, 5pm PT - 8pm ET Topics TBA, but it's a summer closeout and certainly a preview of some stuff coming in the fall. ALSO we're doing a super fun giveaway exclusively for people that make it to the live show itself… there's some incentive for ya! ALSO ALSO, some special previews of all sorts of things. Am I being cagey? YES. Show up anyways! Chat room is fun, live shows are fun… but if you can't make it, it's the pod for the following week. pedalshift.net/live! Email reminders coming too. Maybe some previews of my previews? Who knows? Sign up at the site. Oregon Coast Trail – Part 2   Breaking camp at Nehalem Bay State Park after a less-than-restful first night. The day's route comes with an unusual Oregon Coast Trail feature: a small boat crossing of the Nehalem River. Hiking out the Nehalem Bay spit rather than road walking Highway 101 or relying on another bus. A $10, on-demand boat ride that you essentially hail like a water taxi. Naturally, Tim is delighted. Early beach walking into a surprisingly strong south wind—and the realization that hiking into a headwind can be plenty annoying too. Overcast, cool Oregon Coast weather turns out to be pretty much perfect hiking weather for Tim and James. Then the rain finally arrives. Rain gear gets its first legitimate test as wind, rain and cold hands briefly turn the morning into some genuine Type 2 fun. Reaching the mouth of the Nehalem River, where ocean waves, river current and fishing boats all converge. Calling for the boat and crossing the Nehalem River to continue south. Boat-crossing soundscapes, fishing stories and a little local wildlife discussion along the way. An unexpected rail walk after the crossing, followed by some improvised navigation back toward the beach. The terminology of the trip is established: good sand is firm and easy to walk on; bad sand is soft, energy-sucking nonsense. Continuing south toward Rockaway Beach with sea stacks appearing down the coast. Sustained headwinds approaching 20 mph turn what should have been a helpful prevailing wind into an all-day adversary. Rockaway Beach provides a badly needed break from the wind—and Indian food for the day's big meal. Back into full rain gear for the final push toward Barview Jetty. Headwinds + rain + bad sand = a surprisingly demanding backpacking day. Despite the conditions, Tim and James finish just shy of 11 miles. Another successful test for the new backpacking gear, including Tim's Hyperlite Southwest 40. Arriving at Barview Jetty Campground thoroughly cooked and very ready for dry clothes and tents. The campsite itself gets mixed reviews, particularly when Tim discovers that "level tent site" is apparently more of an aspirational concept. Day two verdict: challenging, fun and another successful proof of concept. Bigger conclusion: Tim and James may officially be backpackers again—and longer trips suddenly seem entirely plausible.   Statistics Miles hiked 11  Nehalem Rivers crossed by boat 1 Prevailing tailwinds received: 0 Headwinds: Yes Sand varieties identified 2 Indian food recs in Rockaway Beach 1 Campground rating: 7 Flats: N/A

One of the reasons we decided to spend this year traveling full-time in our RV was because Collin and I have talked for a long time about eventually buying a campground. I knew living this lifestyle would teach me a lot. What I didn't realize was how quickly it would change what I'm actually looking for. We're only about two months into this trip, we haven't toured a single campground for sale, and we definitely haven't started running numbers. Right now, I'm doing what I think every hospitality investor should do more of: experiencing the product as the guest. And I've been taking notes everywhere we go. In this episode of Branded & Booked, I'm sharing what I've noticed at the campgrounds we've stayed at so far, including the amenities that have genuinely made a difference, the layouts that work (and the ones that absolutely do not), what matters when you're traveling with kids, and the small details that have completely changed the experience. I'm also getting into some of my favorite ideas I've seen along the way, from individual bathhouses and spacious sites to private hot tub rentals, indoor gathering spaces, pools, playgrounds, and even the beginnings of my dream hammock forest. But more than anything, this experience has reinforced something I talk about constantly in branding and hospitality: you have to know who you're building for. The campground built for someone looking for a quick, inexpensive overnight stop should be completely different from the campground built for a family looking for an experiential destination. That decision impacts your amenities, layout, pricing, location, hospitality, marketing, and ultimately what people are willing to pay to stay with you. I'm also sharing what my campground buy box is starting to look like, why I'm thinking about 50+ sites, multiple ways to stay, indoor gathering spaces, seasonality, and the kind of experience I'd want us to create if and when the right opportunity comes along. This is very much the beginning of the journey. And that's exactly why I wanted to document it. Maybe someday I'll listen back to this episode from the campground we actually own and see just how much the vision changed along the way. If you're thinking about investing in a campground, growing a hospitality brand, or simply want a behind-the-scenes look at how I'm thinking about our next potential investment, this episode is for you.

If you have ever traveled down a street, road, or highway and you have come upon a sign directing you to detour and go down a side street to your destination, you know the frustration this can cause.  People in church life sometimes get diverted and go off on side streets, rather than staying on the main road.  They put major emphasis on minor matters.  That's our subject for today, "Side Streets."  But God has something better for us.

The word "surrender" is not a popular word, by any means, whether it refers to an army, a prized possession, or even a cherished idea or belief.  In "The Lord's Prayer" there is the phrase, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done."  This has overtones of our giving up something, or surrendering.  Today we may find a surprising blessing when we surrender our desires to the Lord.  Look with us in these next few minutes how this can work.

Can AI plan a realistic RV camping trip for a family? In this episode of RV Small Talk, PJ and Lindsay test AI as an RV trip planner using real travel requirements, including two RVs, young kids, full hookups, shaded campsites, a four-to-five-hour driving limit, and a nearby town with restaurants, shopping, and family activities. AI recommends two Texas RV camping destinations: Garner State Park near Concan and Fredericksburg with Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park. PJ and Lindsay compare the campgrounds, nearby attractions, river activities, museums, shopping, campsite types, pull-through sites, and family-friendly things to do. They also discuss how to use AI for RV trip planning, what information you should include in your prompt, what details still need to be verified, and why AI may be better for destination ideas and flexible itineraries than booking a specific campsite. Whether you are planning your first RV road trip, searching for Texas campgrounds, organizing a family camping vacation, or looking for RV travel tips, this episode shows what AI gets right, what it gets wrong, and whether it can actually help plan your next camping adventure.

The term "forgive and forget" is a catchy slogan, but when it comes to putting it into practice, that is another matter.  The subject of forgiveness is quite a difficult thing, especially when someone has experienced a serious offence from another person.  Then along comes Jesus, who says that we should forgive "seventy times seven."  How is that possible?" we may ask.  That is today's subject, so let's look at it more closely and see how it can work in our lives, even to bring a blessing.

The wildland firefighting community is mourning again. Nate Matthews, 43, a 10-year veteran from Lincoln, Nebraska, has died from burn injuries suffered during the June 27 burnover on the Utah-Colorado border — making him the fourth firefighter killed in the same incident. Three other crew members died at the scene, and a fifth remains hospitalized. The Knowles Fire has since been overtaken by the Snyder Fire.  Then, we turn to a local arson case: a judge will consider Tuesday whether to grant bail to a West Jordan man accused of setting the Timp Fire that evacuated the Timpooneke Campground in American Fork Canyon. Greg shares the latest and what is to be expected in court.   

 - TPS for Haiti expires today — what it means for 300,000+ immigrants  Jim Bennett co-hosts with Greg Skordas today, Jim and Greg catch up on how they spent the Pioneer Holiday Weekend.. Temporary Protected Status for more than 300,000 Haitians living in the U.S. is set to expire today after the Supreme Court cleared the way last month for the Trump administration to end the program. Jim and Greg break down what TPS actually is, which countries are affected, the broader impact on communities and employers, and what this means for immigrants from other nations still under the designation.      - From Seattle to Berlin: Deadly attacks rock a weekend of celebration  It was a violent weekend at home and abroad. In Seattle, three people are dead and four wounded after gunfire erupted at the Bite of Seattle food festival near the Space Needle on Sunday evening. Police say two men opened fire on each other, catching bystanders in the crossfire. One suspect is in custody; a second remains at large. Overseas, a van-ramming and stabbing attack at Berlin's Pride parade killed one woman and injured 29 others in what German authorities are calling an Islamist terror attack. The suspect was later tracked down and shot dead by police. Greg and Jim discuss the latest.      – The WHCD redo and the weirdness that came with it  The White House Correspondents' Dinner got a do-over Friday night after that armed security breach shut down the original back in April — and things got awkward. Jim and Greg lay out the moments from the President that shocked them most.      – The ADA at 36: What's better, what's broken, and what's next for disability rights  This weekend marked the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In this special hour we take an look at how far the country has come in protecting the rights of Americans with disabilities, where progress has stalled, and what may have gotten worse.  Nate Crippes of the Disability Law Center of Utah joins on how the legal landscape has shifted since the ADA became law, Matthew Wappett, executive director of Utah State University's Institute for Disability Research, Policy, & Practice, on the big-picture challenges still facing the disability community, and our very own Holly Richardson — a mom with several kids with special needs — on what the fight for access and inclusion actually looks like day to day.     – The Iran war pause: What's next?  After 13 consecutive nights of U.S. airstrikes on Iran, the bombs have stopped — at least for now. Both sides paused attacks over the weekend as regional mediators push to revive negotiations. Greg and Jim share their analysis on the situation and where things could go from here.      - How Utah is trying to lower its criminal recidivism rate  A report has found while Utah has fewer people under "correctional control" than much of the nation, it's spending more per inmate than neighboring states. Bridger Beal Cvetko with KSL.com joins to help walk through this report and why it matters.      - Fourth firefighter dies following Knowles fire burnover | Timp fire arson suspect faces judge  The wildland firefighting community is mourning again. Nate Matthews, 43, a 10-year veteran from Lincoln, Nebraska, has died from burn injuries suffered during the June 27 burnover on the Utah-Colorado border — making him the fourth firefighter killed in the same incident. Three other crew members died at the scene, and a fifth remains hospitalized. The Knowles Fire has since been overtaken by the Snyder Fire.  Then, we turn to a local arson case: a judge will consider Tuesday whether to grant bail to a West Jordan man accused of setting the Timp Fire that evacuated the Timpooneke Campground in American Fork Canyon.

Greg shares his closing arguments.  

Mike returns for the conclusion of his 1982 Oregon campground encounter, picking up with two sets of reflective eyes watching him from the darkness near a picnic table. At first, he assumes he is dealing with deer, wolves, or some other familiar animal and repeatedly tries to scare them away.But as his flashlight begins to fade and he moves closer, the shapes refuse to behave like anything he recognizes.Standing only twelve to fourteen feet away, Mike watches one figure rise to an estimated height of more than eight feet. Moments later, he notices an even larger presence beside a tree, with its eyes appearing nearly eleven feet above the ground. He searches for antlers, ears, a muzzle, or any other feature that might explain what he is seeing, but nothing fits. Instead of running, Mike talks to the figures, throws rocks, sings “Kumbaya,” and eventually holds out an apple into the darkness. Something large and covered in hair gently takes it from his hand.The next morning, Mike measures the surrounding trees and branches to confirm the heights he witnessed. Even then, he does not immediately call the creatures Bigfoot. It is not until 2009, after hearing a similar encounter discussed on a podcast, that he begins connecting this night with several other unexplained experiences from his past. Looking back, Mike says the most disturbing realization is not simply what may have been standing beside him, but how completely defenseless he would have been had the encounter turned violent.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

  Neighbors being un-neighborly -- that's nothing new. But up near Bear Lake, some campers got a rude and dangerous surprise from a campground neighbor.

Thousand Trails offers campground memberships that can save a lot of money on nightly camping costs for many RVers.But there is a LOT of misinformation that swirls around about their program, and how it works, and whether it's a good value or not.So in this video I explain my experiences as a 7 year owner of a Thousand Trails membership, and give you the honest assessment from our point of view. Some of it good, some of it not so good.And here is the link to my Thousand Trails video that I mentioned, where I explain all the details and prices of their memberships - https://youtu.be/GSwkenyAzUs

Have you ever gone to church and found yourself looking around at who else is there?  The poet Robert Burns wrote a poem about this.  He looked at the person sitting in front of him and saw a louse (plural of this word is "lice.") sitting on this person's collar.  So he wrote a poem and gave it the title, "To a Louse."  We don't know if the poet heard the sermon that day or not!  Our subject this morning is "Four People Who Go to Church."  Stay with us; maybe we will hear about more than a louse on someone's collar.

A campground may have great photographs and excellent reviews—but will your RV, tow vehicle or tent actually fit the individual campsite? In episode 161, Julie and Art introduce The Campground Comparison Tool, a refined AI prompt that compares campsite dimensions, hookups, shade, privacy, facilities, driving time, check-in and check-out policies, reservation timing and nearby activities. The prompt is tested using two campgrounds Julie and Art know well: Cachuma Lake Recreation Area and El Capitán State Beach in Santa Barbara County.  The complete prompt can be adapted for RV or tent camping.

Even as air quality warnings have been issues as a result of raging fires in the Western USA, we once again find ourselves in the midst of camping season, So, while campgrounds are on our minds, why not think creatively about how to sustain those resources while contributing to environmental justice? As you'll hear in this episode in the Climate Brewing Series that originally aired in July of 2024, there are several things we can do. Join host Susan Oxley, as she sits down with fellow Climate Justice Team member, Joan Thompson, to discuss some of those “doable” things. You may be surprised at how easy some of these ideas are to implement. In a denomination where camping has had a huge impact on communal and spiritual growth... we can't afford to do nothing. Listen to other episodes in the Climate Brewing series. Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Have you ever been afraid?  That probably is a foolish question, since most of us would have to admit that there have been times when we have really been afraid.  The Bible always has a word of help to us in any situation in our lives when we have special needs, and surely God's Word can help us when we are afraid.  Today we will look at two Bible verses: Psalm 56:3 and Isaiah 12:2, and see what God has to say to us when we are afraid.

Although the day of our nation's independence, July 4th, was yesterday, it's never too late to celebrate such a significant event. Today, we'll hear words from the founders of our nation and also from people of our own time. Let's pray that we, as Americans, can all develop a deeper appreciation and sense of gratitude for the blessings we've been given. Many of you are listening to this podcast from a country other than America, so we invite you to join us in genuine thanksgiving to God for all His blessings, regardless of where we may be.

The Fourth of July will be special at one Minnesota campground this weekend. Veterans Campground in Washington County is marking 100 years of serving veterans, as a place for rest, relaxation and belonging. Ken Larson is a Minnesota National Guard veteran and manager of the campground. He spoked to Minnesota Now host Nina Moini about how the camp has created comradery for thousands of Minnesota veterans and their families.

Host Zach Urness and intern Makenzie Stamets talk about the future of what was once among state's most beloved campgrounds: Yellowbottom Recreation Site. Located in the Quartzville corridor northeast of Sweet Home — and just past Green Peter Lake — the area is home to old-growth forest, beautiful swimming holes and unique activities like gold panning. For years, Yellowbottom was the anchor for visiting the area and staying overnight. But issues with giant trees caused the site to close. Now, the Bureau of Land Management is laying out its plan for the future of Yellowbottom and its place in the Quartzville corridor.

We start with our three things, including some devastating news — three wildland firefighters were killed battling fires on the Utah-Colorado border. We break down what happened, where the fires stand, and what it means heading into the Fourth of July. Speaking of the Fourth, Utah's fireworks fight is getting messy. Gov.

We take a step outside our normal focus on RV travel and camping for a special collaboration with Scott Cowan, host of the Explore Washington State Podcast. Armed with a field recorder and plenty of curiosity, Brooks and Scott spend the day walking through downtown Everett, Washington, visiting four outstanding independent coffee shops: Narrative Coffee, Nadine's Coffee, Loft Coffee Bar & Bakery, and Choux Choux Bakery.Recorded entirely on location, this episode captures the sounds, conversations, and atmosphere of each stop while exploring the Pacific Northwest's thriving coffee culture. Along the way, Brooks and Scott share plenty of coffee talk and lighthearted banter, discussing AeroPress brewing, pour overs, French press coffee, espresso, favorite regional coffee roasters, best camp coffee setups, vinyl records, local restaurants, and why independent cafés help define a community.While RV Out West is best known for helping you discover campgrounds, road trips, and destinations across the Pacific Northwest, this episode highlights another side of travel. Sometimes the best way to experience a place is on foot, taking time to visit local businesses and appreciate the stories that unfold over a great cup of coffee.If you're planning a trip to Everett, searching for great coffee in Washington State, or simply enjoy conversations about travel, food, and coffee culture, this episode belongs on your playlist. It's an easygoing conversation filled with local recommendations, practical coffee tips, and plenty of laughs between two friends who share a passion for exploring the Pacific Northwest.Grab your favorite mug, press play, and join us for a coffee crawl through downtown Everett that proves memorable travel experiences don't always begin at a campground; they can start with a walk around the block.Visit our Sponsor of this EpisodeScenic WashingtonScenic Washington is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and enhancing Washington State's 29 Scenic Byways.

Last Sunday we began a journey of hope, looking to discover what the Bible has to say about the plan God has for all his creation. But the question arises for some: when God gives me His promise of a heavenly home, can I count on it?  Will God take it away from me once he has given it? That's today's subject, as the sermon title says it, "Once Saved, Always Saved?" Join us now as we seek the answer to this most important question.

As many of us plan for summer getaways, we may never contemplate the reality that our plans could intersect with human trafficking. In this episode, we sit down with Mike Kaether, Executive Director for Domestic Freedom, to discuss an often-overlooked area of trafficking identification: campgrounds and RV parks. Mike shares why he felt compelled to develop specialized training to help campground staff, travelers, and communities recognize the warning signs of exploitation happening in these environments. Mike also discusses what surprised him most as he learned more about trafficking, how these crimes often hide in plain sight, and the practical steps individuals can take if they suspect someone may be in danger.
