Proto pup is a corn dog that started out in Oregon and now everyone makes their own version of the corn dog

The Corn Dog was invented at Pronto Pup in Rockaway Beach.

We work across the street at the KOA. We hang out at Fort Stevens and even got married last year at the shipwreck. 🤙🏽Ruben&Lori🌺

Cool! We almost drove thru the koa. Next time:)

we used to live in Astoria - love Ft. Stevens! the astoria column is great! the megler bridge is awesome -

We are at Fort Stevens now. Take in the maritime museum in Astoria if you have time. Great museum!

Loved this one. I remember going to all those places as a kid, the beauty of the unique beach, hiking trails from the campground to the beach, the Iredale, the fort. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

Just another great video guys! Too bad about the trail being blocked off by construction. I love the Oregon coast. But it’s been decades since I’ve been out that way. So thank you for taking us along for the ride. Loved the close up of Pistol snarfing the green beans. Long live the Green Bean Queen!!! Hope all is well?! Carey On!

Thank you! All is good:)

All the places we explored last July! And we ran into you all at Safeway. Astoria Tower was one of our favorites and we went at 5:30 a.m. No one but us and watched the sunrise! Beautiful!

Next time add Cape Disappointment and Ft Columbia to your list. It’s a left turn after you cross the Astoria-Megler Bridge. I promise, you won’t be disappointed!

I took a paddle wheeler cruise down the Columbia River. An amazing area.

We were there last year. There are two herds of elk in the park. We woke up one morning surrounded by Elk! They were laying in the empty campground right across from us. This was in October. They hung around for over an hour before they slowly moved off. Probably 30 elk! I just sat in my chair drinking my coffee. They said it was unusual for them to be in the campground. We went to Fort Clatsop when we left. Where Lewis & Clark spent the winter. Worth a trip. Great fun!

So hauntingly beautiful that shipwreck "shell" left behind...pretty cool! I love that you really look into the history and share with us! Total history geek here LOL Carey on...

Glad you enjoyed it

We've been across that bridge over the Columbia river. We went up to sea relatives in Port Angeles up interstate 5 and came down on the coast and traveled over that bridge, and it is quite spectacular.

There is so much to see on the northern coast. The tower is very cool what I liked was the artwork all around it. The Astoria museum is really neat too! Pistol is so chill. 💕

But now it’s pouring rain😂

So sad you missed seeing the ocean and river meet, such a beautiful spot. If you looked west as you crossed over the bridge you would see a view of it as well.

I grew up visiting all those sites and remember the Peter Iredale being much bigger. Battery Russell is a BIG part of my childhood. It’s almost always deserted. (They didn’t fire back to keep their location hidden.) Imagine how amazing that place is to kids. Wonderfully scary! The Astoria Column used to be called the Astor Column, after John Jacob Astor. We used to spit off it as kids.

I love Oregon m, I met the most amazing woman there and unfortunately she’s a widow and she wasn’t ready for a relationship so she broke my heart. She turned me on to Oregon and it’s my favorite state in the union. I currently live in Wisconsin

Great video! We just spent spring break camping at Cape Disappointment and spent an afternoon at Fort Stevens. Got some great footage there! This part of the Pacific Coast warrants a good long stay, as there is SO much to do! We go back every year to the coast, and always come away wanting to see more. Thanks guys!

You should have dug some razor clams there at Fort Stevens on the low tide. We will be there Wednesday.

No low tides when we were there but you should have good tides this week. We may try in Newport;)

That shipwreck is getting less & less over the years - so cool to see it! We crossed a few small bars in Mexico - this one would be frightening. We stayed at that state park years ago - our old Lab like swimming in Coffin Bury Lake there (icky lake name). The river looks serene from above.

You should have seen the wreck 25 years ago, it was much bigger. We have years of memories of our kids at Fort Stevens. The trail between the campgrounds and the fort is an excellent run.

Corn meal batter vs flour (hair towards pancake) batter. I prefer the corn meal batter. Hope you guys can hit the MN state fair some day, where many things are served on a stick. Love when your in Oregon. We've family all over Portland & adore the coastline. We used to camp (van) years ago on the beach in Rockaway.

My dad called them pronto pups! And we are in Virginia.

Green bean cam was cool 😂 I sent a message on instagram about another WWII attack in Oregon you might find interesting.

Well....if we could make an educated guess, the batter is different (pronto pup vs corndog). We had a pronto pup in Idaho, it wasn't our favorite. We LOVED The Corndog Company corndogs better. I think Corndogs have a sweeter batter. So it's going to be a personal taste preference. ❤

Hi you three. I see you are on the Columbia River at the bottom of Okanagan, lake Osoyoos Lake, Similkeen River which goes down to the Columbia. Peace Reigns, and the biological attack is proven beyond a shadow of doubt. So now its wrapping up . The attack from Japanese uncouth. We do live in Peace with our neighbors. Have a good day dears.

I have to ask, How many years ago did you go there? There was a cannon where you walked up in the beginning of the video and they do Tours underground 15 years ago. I grew up around there.
