After over a year of sitting around NOT making videos, we decided to stop being lazy and try and get back to work on our epic mini-series... "Jason and Ryan's Excellent Adventure."
Since you've actually come back to this site to watch our videos, we decided to try and give you some humor before returning to the mind-numbing educational videos that we'll be creating in the future! For a re-cap, we advise you to watch the old videos to see how we made it to Idaho...
In this video, you'll see Ryan and I face off against viscious man-eating bears. We'll also visit the mean streets of Coeur d’Alene, ID and Spokane, WA. We end in the haunted Waterville Hotel in Waterville, WA where Ryan faces off against ghouls and ghosts. Will he survive? Watch to find out!
Enjoy!

Day 6 - Glacier National Park
Ryan and I left Yellowstone and travelled to Glacier National Park in search of adventure and wilderness. We found both in spades in Glacier National Park. Ferrel squirrels, rampaging bighorn sheep, and ferocious trout were just a few of the wild beasts that Ryan and I had to survive while travelling through Glacier. See for yourself...

From California to Arizona...
Our last day in Los Angeles was spent at Magic Mountain, which was made famous when Paulie Shore refrenced "the Mountain" in the comedy classic, "Encino Man." Anyway, Magic Mountain is a pretty decent amusement park located in Valencia, California. The park had a decent amount of roller coasters, but what really made the park stand out was the roller coaster, "X." This thing is totally insane. There's really no good way of explaining this particular coaster; you simply have to ride it for yourself to understand the sheer magnitude of its awsomeness. Each seat swivels independently and its a totally disorienting ride. Ryan and I give it an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. Magic Mountain also had a roller coaster that has you riding on your stomach as if you were Superman. While this sounds awesome, its really not if you're like me and have a somewhat large belly. I felt like I was going to puke after the ride, but that's probably my own fault for being a fatty. Anyway, "the Mountain" turned out to be a decent place to spend a few hours, so we're glad we went.
After we left Magic Mountain, we drove to Palm Springs. This city is in the middle of the desert, not far from Arizona. Ryan and I didn't get a chance to see much of the city, but what we can tell you is that the buildings are built low and the city is insanely hot. We arrived in Palm Springs around midnight and the tempurture had to be at least 100 degrees. We cranked up the air conditioning in our little motel room and we still had to bring in our portable fans to help keep us cool. After waking up, we were happy to get in our car to drive to our next destination... Gilbert, Arizona!
We reached Gilbert, AZ around five in the afternoon, where we met up with our second cousin, Z! This guy is great. He hooked us up with a free place to stay and fed us and let us do laundry. We are forever in his debt. Tomorrow, we'll wake up and possibly see Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, and hopefully we'll make it to Las Vegas! See you then!

California...
First off, California is HUGE. We've spent the most time in this state and ever minute of it has been packed with stuff to do.
After our quick tour of the Redwood National Forest, we drove to Sacramento to stay with our cousin, Charles. Charles was a great host. Our first night, he took us to "Adalberto's," which is probably my favorite fast food mexican restaurant ever. To call it fast food is actually an injustice because its just as delicious as the mexican food you can get from a sit-down restaurant. Their tacos are amazing!
The next day we drove to San Francisco to do a quick tour of the city. We headed down to Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf where we met up with most of our cousins. We saw the sea lions fighting off of the side of Pier 39, then decided it was time to go. We next drove to Lombard street which is famous because its winds all over the place. Its probably the most curvy street in America. We went there to get some video shots, but apparantly other people had the same idea because the street was packed with cars. After wasting some time at Lombard, we drove to Alamo Park which is where they filmed the opening to "Full House." We took some pictures and video there, so you'll be able to see how things have changed since the tv show stoped airing. After that we went to Haight & Ashbury, which is where the hippie movement started in the 1960's. Today is just a shell of its former self with mainly a bunch of hipster kids and bums hanging around the area. Ryan and I went to the McDonald's next to Amoema Records and saw some bum shooting up heroin in the bathroom stall next the urinal. Needless to say, we didn't linger long there at that McDonald's. After leaving McDonald's we went inside Amoeba Records, which supposedly is the largest independent record store in the country. I don't know if that's true or not, but it IS pretty big. We each bought a $1 cd just to see if we could pick out any hidden gems. Sadly, there were none. They were priced accordingly. After that, we left Haight & Ashbury and drove up to Twin Peaks, which is the highest hill in the city. From there you can usually get a great view of downtown San Francisco, but the night we drove up there, there was a huge cloud over the hill and we really couldn't see more than 10 feet in front of our faces.
The next day we drove to Yoesemite National Park with our cousins. At first we thought we'd do the Half Dome hike which is 17 miles long. After our brief flirtation with insanity, we decided to do a more reasonable 7 mile hike up to the Upper Falls. The first half of those 7 miles was straight up a mountain. By the time we finished our hike we could barely lift our legs. I wouldn't say I regreted making the hike though. At the top of the falls (which had dried up), there were pools of icy mountain water just sitting up there. Most of us decided it might be fun to hop in the water to cool off. Ryan and I both jumped in and while I can say it was refreshing, it wasn't warm enough to just sit in there and relax. After we left Yosemite, we drove home and slept sound and logs.
The following day, we drove back to San Francisco to see the remaining sights. We first drove to the Castro district, which is famous because that is the neighborhood where all of the gay men live in the city. I have to say, a lot of those guys were really friendly. I had an opportunity to interview a guy from Michigan named Trevor and he was very helpful and informative. He told me a lot about the neighborhood and even welcomed me to stay a while. I had to refuse Trevor's kind offer though because we had more of the city to see! After leaving Castro, we drove to the Palace of Fine Arts which is a nice roman-esque structure next to the Exploratorium. There really isn't much to see there, but it was a nice photo opportunity. After leaving there, we drove to the Legion of Honor, which is a museum that houses some fine classical art pieces. We had a great time outside watching the sun set. After that we drove to Union Square which is the nice part of the city. We stayed maybe 30 minutes because we couldn't find any good place to eat without a line. After that we left the city.
The next day we left the Bay area and drove south toward Los Angeles. We decided to take the Pacific Coast Highway because that is the most scenic drive to L.A. We were rewarded with fantastic shots of the ocean, but sadly our video camera died there. We went to Circuit City the following day and purchased a new camera, so fear not loyal readers of this blog... we'll be back with further video updates in the near future!
After driving the PCH, we finally made it to Los Angeles where we met up with my friend Adam Brown. He showed us around Hollywood and took us to a great restaurant, the Saddle Ranch which is famous for their huge portions of steak and their mechanical bull. We had the steak and then rode the bull. The steak was fantastic and the bull-riding was painful. While there we had our first and only celebrity sighting... we saw Flava-Flav! He's just as ugly in person and he is on t.v. Anyway, our trip to L.A. was pretty quick. While we spent two days there, we didn't get to see very much because the city is so spread out. We drove to Venice Beach, where we met Bill, the 60 year old body builder who used to hang out with Arnold in his younger days. Despite what you may have heard, Venice is not all that crazy. It just looks like a shabby beach town. From there we drove to the Santa Monica Pier which was okay. I'm glad we only spent $1 to park because the food was generic and the amusement park rides looked pretty crappy. After that we drove to see UCLA which was a beautiful campus. We went inside the library and I have to say, it looked like a very nice place to study and meet asian people. After that we drove to see our Cousin, Sunanta. Being a full-blooded filipina, she took us to the most asian part of the city to have Boba/Bubble Tea, which is this gross tea that has tapioca balls at the bottom. The drink sucked, but it was great to see our cousin. The next day we drove around and took a studio tour and Warner Bros. Studios. That was my favorite park of the trip because I love movies so much. It was cool to see where movies get made and the process which goes into creating them. We then drove to Westwood to see "Stardust" at the Fox Westwood Village movie theater which is a 1300 seat theater with the best sound and video i've ever experienced. The movie was decent, bu the theater was great. From there we drove to visit USC which was pretty "eh." I didn't like the campus very much compared to UCLA. After that we drove to visit Sunanta one last time at Irvine where she took us to see the "Dollhouse," which supposedly is a place where some lady murdered her two kids and cut them into pieces and placed them in the walls. FUN! See you next time!
Hopefully our posts will start to come more regularly again soon!

From Washington to California...
Day 11 - Olympic National Park
We finished day 10 by taking the Edmonds-Kingston car ferry across Puget Sound to get to the Olympic Peninsula. It was a fun, pleasent, and short trip. Kingston was a small seaside town that looks like a lot of fun for the 60+ crowd. We ate and left for Port Angeles where we would spend the night at a KOA. Our early arrival time allowed us to make s'mores for the first time on our trip. The fire felt great with the cool North Pacific air.
Olympic National Park was interesting but we really only had a chance to scratch the surface. It's really 3 parks in one. The Olympic mountains rise up 7 thousand feet into the air just miles from the coast creating a ton of rain right along the coast. So in Olympic NP, you have a mountain environment, one of the world's only temperate rain forests, and the Pacific coast. Unfortunately we began the day kind of late (almost noon), and we had to cut out the mountains (as we've had no shortage of mountains so far on this trip). Our first stop was to the small Indian community of La Push. It was in this small sea side community that we got our first glimpse of the endless beauty of the Pacific Ocean. 70 foot "sea stacks" (large stone hills) shoot out of the Ocean all along the northern Washington coast and provided a fantastic scenery. The walk to the beach was through a small patch of rain forest. What makes a temperate rain forest a rain forest (besides the rain... duh) is the patches of moss, everywhere, on stones, on the branches of the sitka and spruce, on the path; and the ferns that blanket the undergrowth. The beach was kind of crappy, the sand was nice but there was a lot of dead trees lying everywhere and a lot of bugs. The sea stacks were nice but that was about it. From there we headed to the Hoh rain forest. The Hoh rain forest was essentially a bigger version of the rain forest we walked through earlier to get to the beach. The trees were bigger and there was a lot more moss. We got a very good look at a large bull elk wandering in the forest as well.
Day 12 - Oregon
After Olympic, we drove down the Washington coast to Willapa Bay, the site of our next KOA. An interesting phenomenon throughout our trip has been the mystery of waking up in new places. We always arrive at our campgrounds past sunset, so we never know what the scenery looks like around our camp. Thus, every morning is a surprise. It was quite a surprise when we woke up the next morning just a few hundred feet from the ocean. Apparently, clamming is a very popular activity in Willapa Bay. We hate clams and the beach was crappy so we left as soon as possible.
Before passing the Oregon border we stopped in the tiny town of Naselle, WA. We stopped at Edgells Inn Restaurant & Lounge and tried the cheeseburger and macaroni soup. It was delicious and I highly recommend any travelers in the area stop there (if they can find it). We meet a lot of people on the road and it's usually a mixed bag. Some small towns suck, and some are great. Naselle was very friendly, so a thumbs up there.
From Naselle we headed to the Oregon border and into Portland (which is just miles from the border). Portland was surprisingly nice. Everything we had heard led us to believe that Portland would be a complete shit hole, and from the highway it looked like that would be case (see the video in a few days), but once we entered the city, we were very pleasenly surprised. A few notes on Portland: Portland is super liberal. Even in the rich areas of town, it wasn't uncommon to see people with multiple piercings and green peace t-shirts. Portland looks like a nice place to live but only OK to visit. There aren't very many things to do if you enjoy sight-seeing. However, if you're a shopper, Portland is a very nice place to visit. Unfortunately we only got to spend a little bit of time in Portland because we had to be in Sacramento by the evening of Day 13 (and we didn't really budget much time ahead of time to begin with because we thought it would be shitty).
From Portland we headed south to Eugene, OR, home of the Oregon Ducks. Eugene was a total bust. The University of Oregon campus was ugly and super tiny. The Stadium was a long walk from campus and the downtown looked like crap. The silver lining of Eugene: good Mexican food. We ate our first Mexican food of the trip and it was very good. From there we headed down to Wilderville to spend the night.
Day 13 - Redwood National Park to Sacramento
We left early from Wilderville and headed toward Redwood National Park. If you're someone who says, "A tree is a tree" or "Once you've seen one tree you've seen them all," I think you need to visit Redwood National Park. These trees are incredible. The tallest tree in the park (380 feet) is inaccessable by normal means but you can easily see 340 foot behemuths from the road. Many of the trees are easily wider than a car. We drove down an 8 mile unpaved (wild you might say) road through the forest with trees often only inches from the car. It was an incredible drive. When we got to our destination we took a short walk through one of the many trails and were transported back in time to the Jurassic era when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Giant trees erupt from the ground 20 feet from each other and ferns and moss cover the undergrowth. After filming some exciting footage we had to travel back to the future (zing!). We were on a mission to get to Sacramento at a reasonable hour to meet up with our cousins. We asked a forest ranger what the fastest way to get there would be and he recommended a route down the coast and cutting up when the mountains were a bit thinner. Instead we got in the car and chose to follow our navigation system's instructions... What a terrible mistake. Never, ever drive US-299 unless you absolutely have to. It was 150 miles of somewhat busy mountain roads. We averaged about 35 mph. In other words, it was sheer hell. From there we headed down I-5 to Sacramento to meet up with our cousin Charles.
