Living in the Pacific Northwest and sharing the beauty and history of Washington State where I live with my husband and little dog, Twinkie. Posting videos every Wednesday morning, come and join us as we make memories and discover new places.
@Roy-ng1xn I had an uncle who lived in Missippi with his family for many years he often told me how much he loved it there. I visited your state many years ago when I was a teenager. I hope you can see Washington someday and will love it as I do. Thank you for your comment. It's been a long time since I've made any new videos. My physical health limits what I can do these days, and I've lost my beautiful husband, who was such an inspiration to me. Be well
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. In 2022 I flew to Seattle on my way to Hawaii. I never had a clue I was so close. Maybe some day I'll get my chance to visit Roslyn.
You missed the part of the mineral mining industry. The railroad wasn't built just for coal. It runs up; past Lake Cle Elum. The rail line was supposed to run to Fish lake and the mines around it. It failed with the market crash in 1889. There are many gold,copper and silver mines around the Fish lake basin.
I can't believe you went to the Brooklyn Tavern , I started going there in the 70's & he sold us kids cigarettes on our way to school . My husband & I both graduated from the High School in 1973 , a real blast at the school !
Hey Granny! I was afraid that there had been a loss but I'm glad that you are still on the green side of the grass. Healing and everything else takes longer when you get older. I'm a very sentimental person and sometimes I miss people even if I never met them and that's why I was inquiring about you. I've done it before with other content creators when their channel grew silent. Take care and Be Well and do everything at your own pace and if you decide to upload videos I will gladly watch them. Thank you so much for responding.🖐️😁
Gosh, sorry that you feel so strongly about the place. I lived there before the town had it's boom and loved it. It was a tiny town with few people and we never had any issues. I know it has changed drastically in the last twenty years but I'm sorry you have had a bad experience.
I live here..please tourist 1)do not leave your food scraps for wildlife,our local dogs find them first and chicken,pork bones are dangerous.2)don't leave your dog poo bags along trail,we don't have a poo bag picker upper to go 5 miles to grab them.if u don't pack them out then toss poo,no bag,off trail..it will dissolve by winter.3)quit driving down coal mine trail to find shady place to park,no motor vehicles period..4)when u stumble drunk out of bars late and are walking to your vacation rental,loud drunken laughter,conversation,yelling as u walk thru residential streets remember people are sleeping,show respect and last,roslyn is NOT Vegas,your arrogant and entitled attitude at locals is ridiculous.treat roslyn with respect,it deserves it
Thank you for these guidelines. Disrespect for nature and rights of others has always been a pet peave of mine wherever you go. I lived for while near a fast food place and was amazed at the amount of food containers that ended up in my front yard every day. In my case, I had to clean up after these thoughtless people and fought vermin that were attracted to the food scraps. Thankfully, I no longer live there, but I still feel for the folks who do. Roslyn is such a great place to visit and in such a beautiful area it's sad that you need to deal with these problems.
Bonnie passed a number of years ago, but she was a wonderful pet for my husband and myself for 14 years. Last fall I lost my husband and a few months later our Chihuahua, Twinkie. I'm too old now to consider another pet, but I live with granddaughter and share their sweet pup with them. I'm sorry you are going through your trauma with your companion. I can feel what you are going through. Best wishes. Granny
Thank you for actually posting this, approx 12 month ago I was at the point where i was just about to retire from the Police here in the UK and fly out to Seattle with my family to go and visit Roslyn ( a life times ambition ), unfortunatey within weeks i suffered a stroke within days of flying out , so my like long ambition never happened, something i bitterly regret, since those days i have thought about the town many times..So seeing this great video has really cheered me up, many thanks
Thanks. I live outside Sequim and now retired. I detoured through the North End of Taco to get a Frisco Freeze double deluxe a month ago. First one in 30 years. It was glorious. Midland...that was rural living when I was a kid. Enjoyed your video on Brooklyn. I still get out that way once in a while to some secret fishing spots.
I used to live in Ellensburg, and really enjoyed this video! Next time you’ll need to wander around Badger Pocket area just outside the town and enjoy the views from up there.❤
These are the kind of videos that I love to watch on RU-vid. Have a little history of the area from 1986-1994. I won't ever come back to live, but I will always cherish the childhood years of good old "Southwood" and Bethel! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
I was a big fan of Northern Exposure because it was so different from standard 90's tv shows, and could surprise me. We drove our converted shuttle bus "Serenity" to Seattle (from Kentucky) to visit my daughter there. Spent a week on the Olympic peninsula, then on our way back east stopped in Roslyn. The Brick wasn't open yet, but folks working in the kitchen with the back door open said, "Come on in if you want to take pictures". Small town hospitality, I love it! I had a big grin stuck on my face walking around taking pictures and remembering the laughter they had given me. Camped 3 more nights at a National Forrest campground 10 miles north of town. Fantastic trip.
I love this video! Thanks for sharing, it really is a beautiful town. When I was younger my family and I used to take that ferry all the time to vacation on Anderson island. That road that you take that leads to the ferry is very pretty, and they have a really nice park down the road from the ferry terminal. I know this was posted a while ago, but perhaps you could answer a question for me. To the left of the ferry terminal there is a really old boarded up building that used to be a train station, it's been there for a very long time. There is very little info about it online but I did find a couple articles. Apparently during the early 20th century there was a violent train robbery there and several people were killed. Could you tell me if this is true? When I was around 8 or 9 I went in there and I don't remember quite what happened, just that I felt really creeped out, It may have just been my imagination I'm not sure, but reading those articles makes me wonder if something more happened on the day I visited it.
That's an interesting story, Jake. I've no idea if it is true, but I will research it. My husband is 80 years old and has lived around here his whole life and it also was not a story he had heard before. I came here forty years ago with my former husband and our children and that is when I became fascinated with all the history I discovered in the Pacific Northwest. I've reached the age where these videos became more and more difficult for me to make so I've not made any new ones for some time. I enjoy reading the comments I get and I'm happy there are still people who enjoy the videos. Thank you so much.
Cancer treatment that is commonly used in other countries of the world. Are available online, or at a health food store, or in the woods right beside you. Research: turkey tail mushrooms, Chaga mushroom, cordyceps mushrooms, reishi mushrooms, saccharomyces cerevisiae, etc. I believe it's the (beta glucans 1, 3 - 1,6) strains that do it. In particular types of mushrooms, algae, yeast, fungi. And a small few types of tree bark. (It's real).
Great to see you again Just binge watching your videos while I drive to work Beautiful videos of your journey I’m glad we reconnected after all these years Stay well !
It's me again, from your carbonado road trip video comment. My phone wouldn't pop up your video. I was to add to my comment something else I thought of. Either for you or your followers. Another place that's a nice drive Anacortes Washington. Home of Burl Ives. I recognized him at the restaurant at the marina, the summer of 1984. He seen me notice him. He didn't like to be noticed. He gave the" If looks could kill" response. Really common for celebrities to do that. I didn't take it personal. Well any way, It's a nice ferry ride from their (Anacortes) to Friday harbor (San Juan island) , if you take your car you could go see American camp, and English camp. The last two competing outposts after our acquisition of the Oregon territory.
I was just revisiting old memories of old road trips I went on through the years. I just got done with your video of going to Brooklyn wa. Then I punched in carbonado and here you are again. Good job. I like your videos.
I'm happy you enjoy them. It's been a while since I've made any new videos. My husband can no longer drive and I find it tricky to film and drive at the same time with the equipment I now own. We drove to Brooklyn just a little while ago. We still like to revisit some of these small communities. My husband has lived here all his life and gives me new ideas from time to time. Is there any place you would like to see?
@@RVGrannyWA fort Casey or fort Kasey I forget how to spell it. The north cascades highway or hurricane ridge are always nice.(this one's on the other mountain range) hundreds of miles apart) unless you take a ferry. I believe the north cascades highway is only open five months a year. It's closed for snow.
@@RVGrannyWA I couldn't find this video again a while ago. I guess I shouldn't have headed my search p.n.w granny.anyway I found your baking molasses cookies video. I added extra to my last reply on it instead If you, or your followers want to read it.
We are living in Tacoma now where our kids help us out with the chores that are hard for us. My husband and I are both feeling our age with all the accompanying health challenges. Unfortunately he no longer drives and I have found it difficult to keep up with making videos. I still enjoy keeping up with all the RU-vid friends I've made over the years and answering comments on my old videos. I don't know if or when I'll get into it again, but I hope you'll check in from time to time, thanks for asking.
