    Great to see you back posting regularly. It's like seeing an old friend again. Olympia brought back a few memories. My first brewery tour was at the Olympia brewery back in the early '80's. Beautiful area. Thanks.

    My memory of the Olympia Brewery amounts to my time on Guam back in 1969. I was a Loadmaster on Coast Guard cargo planes delivering food and supplies to remote CG radio navigation stations in the South Pacific. They called us the beer and ice cream delivery guys. The beer was always Olympia.

    The brewery got their water from 4 artesian wells located across Capital Blvd. behind the warehouse facility. It didn't come from the river. Enjoyed the tour. I lived there for 16 years. 😊

    Great video, so very relaxing and scenic. The city did a wonderful job with that park by the brewery in Tumwater. The salmon jumping was so interesting, no feet, no firm surface to push of from but a salmon says no problemo.😃✌️

  • @MaDukesMaDukes
    @MaDukesMaDukes ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thank you Brian, I have cousins that live in various areas of Olympia, many that you have shown in this video. One cousin used to work tagging the young salmon. My nana was visiting Tumwater when Mt. St. Helens Erupted back in 1980.. I was never able to visit that part of our country, but thanks to you, I've been able to vicariously visit with your help.. 🤗 It's easy to understand why you do what you do, go where you go... truly blessed.. rock on brother ☮️💚🤗

    Thank you for this video, Brian! I recently moved to Washington from the middle of California and I got to visit Brewery Park today because I learned about it from when you posted this video a few weeks ago. Safe travels to you and Kelly. I love seeing Hobbs in your videos now too. It's fun to watch him experience things for the first time, such a good puppy!

Now i live out on the coast at Westport and drive Hwy 8 to Olympia couple times a month. this is my home country! very nice!!! no hussle & bussle out here!

  • @paulhunter546

    Hey Brian..that road along the water on the way to the park is where I've overnighted when in Olympia. Nice spot but since it's downhill..lots of people speeding by 🧐🤔 Nice to see the sunshine in your video..I'm staying up North near Everett..been raining a couple of days and looks like the rest of the week 🤪✌️

    The salmon channels are called fish ladders. When I'm in that part of the country I like to visit the Hiram Chittenden locks in Ballard area of Seattle, where I watch boats big and small make their way to and from Lake Union and Lake Washington through the locks. There is a fish ladder there also.

    Appreciate this type video as it's more of what I've not seen. I've been to/ thru WA many times mostly on duty so not much touring around. Also lived in Vancouver 1989/91 too much work and rain to suit an old SW gal.
    Have you been to Eastern WA ? Clarkston area? Chief Timothy state Park in the Snake River?. I was camp host there many years ago - beautiful area. I know its not normally you guys type camping- mine neither as a rule but was good job for me at that time. That type work all I we'd me to tour t by e USA Canada and spend 2 summers in AK. Glorious way for a disabled person to vacation.
    Looking forward to your next adventure so we can ride along. Happy Trails!
