We’re ending our time in Washington on the Olympic Peninsula, one of our favorite places in the state. We hiked to the top of Mount Storm King, a hike that terrifies Kathryn with it’s slick dirt and sketchy ropes to get to the top, visit a lavender farm where we pick our own lavender and enjoy lavender treats, and check out a hobbit house!

Wonderful video as always :) I taught Outdoor Education for 26 years and helped children face their fears on ropes courses and climbing walls. I was always impressed with those who were afraid, knew what they were getting into and still pushed on. Proud of you both for the redemption aspect of this adventure. I can see me using this video to teach my daughters about perseverance and the rewards of conquering the things that stand in our way

Ugh! That loose gravel and sand would be the death of me. I'd want to cry for sure. I'm amazed by people who do it without a hiking pole, once I started using one, I can't go back. Obviously you'd have to hold on to the rope there though. I did one in Colorado recently where I thought I was going to fall down multiple times and I'd be a goner. Good job! That view!!

@Cerulium Год назад

When I went to hike up Storm King, There was a family taking a picture in-front of the trailhead sign at 3:35 so of course I unknowingly walked right past it. I then hiked all the way up Marymere falls then came back down and went on a DIFFERENT trail that took me up the river. I crossed several bridges before heading back then I finally found the sign and went up. Somehow I managed to get to the ropes right after the group I was meeting did. The hike was a great time.

@KimRope 3 года назад

Just so you guys know you can always do free dispersed camping on USFS roads for up to 14 days. Even with all the full campgrounds on the peninsula (which is common for the time you guys went) there are plenty of miles of forest service with lots of places to park, camp.

@AdventuresofAplusK 3 года назад

We did that the night before in the Hoh Rainforest area, but even that was super crowded and almost all of the spots were taken and our cell service was too low to research lots of spots 😔 But that’s our preferred way to camp!

@KimRope 3 года назад

Adventures of A plus K awesome! I so appreciate and love your content. Just an FYI for all of your cross country adventures look up and really study the difference between national park signage and national forest signage. Then know that when you see signs saying you’re entering national forest that you’re safe to go explore the gravel roads and camp most anywhere! Even when you don’t have service. Olympic national park is surrounded by Olympic national forest in patches and going south from the Hoh you pass many great forest service roads totally off the beaten path with great free spots. Worked on that forest and lived at lake Quinault for many years 😉 pro tip that translates to other national forests in other states!

@KayTEEChimp 3 года назад

This area is so beautiful! I have family from this area. We hiked almost to the top of Storm King in 2008. We wore tennis shoes and didnt bring water. So silly and we haven't hiked it again.

I hiked Mount Storm King last week and the entire climb, I kept thinking about how you guys ended up hiking it twice in one day 😂 I was actually surprised at how steep it was and I was not having a good time until I got to the ropes. I didn’t think it was too scary going up the ropes, but going down wasn’t as easy (I may have slipped a few times 🤣). We also went to the lavender farm and enjoyed it, so thank you for that recommendation as well!

@sharischmidt4712 4 года назад

Good for both of you to do that hike!! I don't like the feeling when the ground moves under your feet,it's really scary. I do like lavender, it's fragrance is supposed to be relaxing,which is probably what you needed after your adventure! If you let it dry , you can tuck into cupboards and drawers to keep your things smelling pretty.

@WhenAdventureKnox 4 года назад

Going up that rope section isn't what would worry me, it would be doing the going down part! I fully understand why you've never wanted to hike Angel's Landing (Zion) Kathryn... though Adam you'd probably love it! The colours when you got to the top were stunning - was this conquered first thing in the morning or late in the day? If you guys had to choose a favourite, do you prefer Olympic or Mt. Rainier in WA? Totally with you both on wanting to visit NZ, it's been very high on my list for years but it doesn't bode well with school holidays in the northern hemisphere. Don't blame you guys for wanting to relax and take some time off, I still have a lot of admiration for you both over how you juggle everything (especially with so few vacation days)... and as I've been MIA myself, I've not even noticed! ❤️

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

Caroline! Been hoping you are doing okay! There is a reason we did not film the way down haha. I struggled a lot at the end of it 😅😬. Definitely why I did not want to do Angel’s Landing! This was super early in the AM! We started around 5:45 AM and made it to the top probably around 7 something. I think we both agree Olympic is our favorite solely because of the diversity. It’s really hard to beat how majestic Rainier is, but as a whole, we love the diversity of the peninsula.

Did you experience a lot of Covid closures? Your videos have inspired me to plan a day trip/long weekend up to the Olympic peninsula, but I'm nervous after seeing a lot of "closed" notifications online!

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

Hi Kaylie! For this specific trip we didn’t! But there are definitely some spots closed on the peninsula, specifically anything on Indian reservations. But these stops, plus Ruby Beach, the Hoh rainforest, and Hurricane Ridge (some other favorites) are all open!

Hey guys! I leave in Washington and I love it! I've been visiting this places too, but I haven't been in Mount storm king can you please tell me how long it took you the round trip from the park to the top?

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

Hi Aracely! It took us about 4 hours round trip with the waterfall 😃

I stumbled across your video while doing my research on Mount Storm King and I'm glad I did! You guys are adorable. Did you go on a weekday? Was it pretty crowded? I'm like Kathryn I'm definitely nervous about the rope sections from what I've read and heard, but would love to give this trail a go.

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

Hi Anana! We went on a Sunday morning, but super early and didn’t encounter many people at all. But it does get busy later in the day, which would make the ropes section extra tough. As long as you go slow, you’ll be okay, but it was pretty scary for me haha

You mentioned the "petting farm" odor when you first installed the Havelock wool - did that smell go away? Thanks and blessings! I am about to do a Ford Transit conversion for my wife and I. Getting some good ideas and what not to do! : )

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

It does! It got a LOT fainter over time and we cannot smell it at all with walls up! Good luck on your build!

Adventures of A plus K Thanks for your quick response. We have a 6x8 fiberglass Runaway RangeRunner camper trailer. We just finished a little over two week camping trip across Colorado and now we are back home in Indiana. I have an F150 that I never use as a truck, so I have decided to do a transit conversion. We are going to keep it simple because it will not be a full-time style for us. We will keep the bedroom full-time in our little camper, and in the transit we will have a kitchen maybe a small bathroom, and a workspace that can double as an extra bedroom area for grandkids if they come with us. I’m doing lots of research and I’m glad I ran across your channel and I’m enjoying it. Be safe and blessings!

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

Oooo that’s so cool!!! That’s awesome that y’all can take advantage of having two different spaces so you don’t have to cram everything into one!

@@AdventuresofAplusK I am a retired elementary music teacher and we have 14 grandkids . . . so far, so a full-time "van life" is not for us - we love our home! : ) However, some of those grandchildren are out West, so our travels can include them sometimes. It will be great not to have to mess with bed making up and down every day. I will be doing my own van build series on my channel as well. Be safe.

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

Wow 14?! That sounds like a ton of fun! And van life is a great way to see family and friends. We have seen people so much more since hitting the road a year ago!

@LivinginOurNow 4 года назад

What frame rate do you guys typically shoot/edit in? (Imitation is the greatest form of flattery 😜)

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

We typically shoot 24fps in 4K! We really want to shoot higher fps for slow motion shots, but they just don’t turn out as crisp on our camera.

@LivinginOurNow 4 года назад

Okay thanks! We’ve been shooting the Canon at 29.97 and editing in that frame... at just realized the GoPro is in 24 🤷🏻‍♂️🎥🙄

You mention you work fulltime on the road. Curious how you make that happen? Wife and I would like to try and work remote but scared of finding service.

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

Hi! I have a corporate job (100% remote company) that I work from the van and it can be tricky, but we just stick to cities during the week to ensure we have cell service and use our AT&T and Verizon hot spots (we have 90GB of data for those) and haven’t had any issues! Pre-COVID it was a lot easier since we could go into libraries and coffee shops, but we have made it work so far without that. The downside is we work from random parking lots a lot since the beautiful spots tend to have no service. We’re currently working at a park right now though in a city with some nice views, so it’s not all bad!

@adventuresofjandk 4 года назад

Adventures of A plus K Awesome. Thanks for the quick response. We have 30 gb each through Verizon and AT&T. We are both working remote during Covid so would love to see more of the great NW especially Idaho and Montana. We live in Oregon so we’ve seen a lot of OR and WA. Safe travels.
