I’m glad you got to visit LaConner. Great little town that I had forgotten about since I moved away in 1996. Smoked salmon was delicious there as well. Love the view at the end! Ram 👍🏼👍🏾
Been in/out of La Conner rv park past few months. I am a fan (dog too). Here now, stuck waiting for 20 to reopen, so I too can get back to boondocking while heading toward CDA, ID. Looking forward to your next episode.
Most definitely much cheaper! 😁 We had never heard of the place, and booked it just because we needed something for a few nights after leaving Whidbey Island, so we really felt like we had discovered something.
WE'RE HEADED UP THE OREGON COAST IN A FEW DAYS. WE'VE REDUCED OURSELVES TO RV PARK CONSUMERS FOR THE TRIP, BOONDOCKING OPPORTUNITIES ANY WHERE NEAR THE OCEAN, OR LARGE BODY OF WATER, IS PRETTY MUCH NONEXISTENT
You're correct, PeeWee, which is how we found ourselves in campgrounds along the coast. We had to turn back inland in order to get back to boondocking, beginning with the next episode. Wishing you a wonderful trip and safe travels!
Thanks for coming to beautiful La Conner. I have lived in this area for 48 years, yet you still managed to show me things I have not yet seen. Also of note, they do have a pretty nice Thousand Trails campground here, as well.
@akgobears it's out towards where we hiked at the Kukutali Preserve. @@stevebryant6483 thanks so much! We adored your area. For us, it was a completely unexpected find.
Knowing that you are a connoisseur of historical things, I bet you were geeking out at the museum. Beautiful area and killer view from top of the mountain.
We absolutely adored this town, MTL. It was one of Mrs. GA's favorite stops this season. Albeit rather small, the museum's exhibits were exceptionally well done.
Yes La Conner is nice but it's a stretch for an on townvernight stay when better choices are near by. It's an ok base camp at a good enough price point too. This is coming from a guy that just stayed 3 nights in Booth Bay Maine. It was all shopping with little green space in town... Bill
We came to La Conner from our previous stop on Whidbey Island, Bill. I've got to respectfully disagree, though -- we thought La Conner was a positively wonderful destination in and of itself.
Im going to give you your thumbs up now. I will have to miss the premiere, though. We have plans tonight. I will rewatch 😊 I hope to catch you and everyone next week! Take care 😊
Have recently discovered your channel and my wife and I are enjoying watching your videos. We noticed you speak in the first-person plural but it's usually just you on the camera. We were wondering if it's just you or do you travel with someone? Thanks.
Thanks for coming along, Allen! I travel with my wife and Labrador, but my wife is adamant about not appearing on camera. You can still get an occasional glimpse of her sometimes in the background when I catch her off guard. 😁
@@GrandAdventure Oh, I see. That's too bad, your channel is very well done and I bet having a second "host" would broaden its appeal even more. Anyways, you do a great job, thanks for your hard work!
La Conner is a lovely place, I've returned to visit a few times (from Canada). Make sure you check out the 'Pacific Northwest Quilt & Fiber Arts Museum', which is in an impressive heritage building.
@@GrandAdventure like so many tribal names, they have different emphasis on pronunciation. It is worth the respect and consideration to learn correct pronunciation in ANY adventure you're doing. You obviously have spent time there, not difficult to learn correct pronunciation.
Awesome

👍🏼👍🏾
Thank you Ram! We fell in love with the town, and being able to walk only a half mile from our marina campsite was an added bonus.
Beautiful area Mark..thanks again for taking us along for the trip.
Thank YOU for coming along, Sondra!
Thanks Marc! Beautifully done!!!
Thanks as always, Gerald!
Absolutely love your videos! Thank you!😊❤
Thank YOU Teresa, and thanks so much for watching!

I had no idea the 20 was closed until now. Wishing you safe travels.
Thanks Marc! Beautiful area and very interesting video! Hello to your wife and have a safe adventure.
Thank you Joyce! I'll pass along your kind regards.
Lovely area! I enjoyed the museum tour. I believe the pattern on the quilt is called Turn Dash. I loved that old Westinghouse!!
Close. I think it is Churn Dash. 😊
@annettemills2399 is right. It's churn dash. That was a pretty caffeine post. ☺️
Thanks for the info, both of you! I wouldn't personally know one from the other. 😄
Beautiful! Looks like a great place to visit. Thanks
You're most welcome as always, Kenton, and thanks as always for watching.
What a cool and quiet town on the water. Reminds me of Sausalito in the bay area. Except a lot cheaper I would think. Thanks Don
Most definitely much cheaper! 😁 We had never heard of the place, and booked it just because we needed something for a few nights after leaving Whidbey Island, so we really felt like we had discovered something.
You are right, that was a great find. Marked on our map for sure.
You'll both love it. It was one of our favorite "town" stops thus far this year.
Great video
Thanks Barratt!

Is that Thousand Trails campground within walking distance of the downtown area ????
No, it's 5 or 6 miles

Thank you for this. I really miss Washington State. Have you ever been to Leavenworth, WA? Well worth the visit.
Coming up this Wednesday night, Randell! 🤥
What gem, this looks simply incredible my friend. Such a nice presentation and narrated part is brilliant!
Thank you Ervin!
You should check out Bow Edison!
Next time we will. Thanks for the tip!
We used to live near La Conner. You did a good job of covering it. Especially liked the hike on Kickit Island.
Thank you very much, Shirlee! It's a wonderful area.

Where did you stay at when you were there? I would love to go there and spend a week!
Doug, our campsite in the video is at the La Conner Marina RV Park, operated by the Port of Skagit.
Got my sticker! Thanks!
Cool!! Thank you.
Im going to give you your thumbs up now. I will have to miss the premiere, though. We have plans tonight. I will rewatch 😊 I hope to catch you and everyone next week! Take care 😊
You too! Enjoy your evening.
Try Birch Bay
We looked into it, Pat, but the campground forest was too tall and thick for us to be able to use Starlink.

It is indeed a gorgeous VIctorian building, Mike. We ran out of time to go inside, however.
The correct pronunciation is Swi-nomish. The o isn’t the star. It’s not SwinOmish
Thanks for the clarification
Like any place, learn to pronounce our tribal name correctly. Swin-o-mish, not swi-no-mish
Like every local name, we're guaranteed to mispronounce it.
