Hi thanks for the video. Did you guys trip the fairy before hand or did you just show up?
Youre welcome, we booked ahead of time. We heard that the ferries fill up rather quickly so we didn’t want to take any chances. There are also small airplanes that can take you back and forth but they are a lot more expensive. We hope you enjoy! Friday Harbor is one of our favorite places, it’s a really unique island.
Turn off the music!
Why?
Thank you for posting this, we're going this summer so I actually 'took notes', lol. Can't wait to see it in person :)
Thank you, I’m glad it was helpful. That’s the reason we make the videos is to hopefully make someone’s planning a little easier. Enjoy the island, it really is incredible
America's oldest *platform*carousel.
That is true
great
Thank you
How did you achieve that transition effect in the intro?
Haha, that is a lot of masking, speed ramping and playing with the timing of it. It’s not a plug in, I did a lot of playing around with clips with similar features that can cut together and used masks to blend them together. I use FCPX for editing
What camera/lenses do you use? This looks great! Also curious what you use for editing and if these are color graded - I recently purchased the Canon R8 and getting into all this now so I’m very curious!
Hello, so we use Nikon Z7, Sony A7S3, GoPro’s and DJI Magic Air 2. Canon R8 is a great camera! The biggest thing is getting out there and shooting and playing with the editing software. If it helps you I knew nothing about filming or editing until October 2020, I just started watching endless KZread videos learning all I could….and I mean thousands of hours of tutorials. Watching other creators videos and going out trying to replicate a shot is a huge help. Practice is everything with video. I wish you the absolute best of luck, I use FCPX for editing, it’s what I learned on, and I’ve finally got to where I feel comfortable editing with it, learning a new software is a mountain I don’t want to climb haha. Davinci Resolve is a great software and Premier Pro is great if you like doing heavy special effects. But FCPX is the most user friendly and powerful for normal video editing. Hope this helps you my friend and good luck!
Ahhh... Somewhere in Time. Did you get to see that hotel?
We got to see the first floor, it’s a really unique hotel and there is a lot to do…lots of restaurants.
I love ❤️ our state. Thanks for showing such a unique perspective. New sub. 👍
Thank you! I love your state as well! We would love to move there some day, there is so much to do.
Asheville, the ultimate attraction for alcohol-addicted white millenials. On full display here, they're everywhere!
Check out beaver island in Lake Michigan. It’s just as amazing.
Never heard of it but next time we are there we certainly will! Thanks for the recommendation
The footage is stunning!
Thank you very much! The island is beautiful so it makes it easy
This video was great highlighting your adventure!!! What tour did you go on for whale watching?! I’m going to San Juan in May and so excited!!!
Thank you for the compliment. That’s amazing that you’re going, we hope you have a blast. It’s an incredible place to visit. I cannot remember the whale watching tour, there are several and from my research I remember they all have great reviews. Enjoy your vacation and let us know how it went, we would love to hear about it.
@@MarkandRad thanks so much! I subscribed after watching several of your videos! They are amazingly shot & you two are adorable!! Cheers from PGH PA!
Thank you very much, we appreciate it, we enjoy making the videos so others can see what an area is like before planning a trip….which we ourselves do a lot of research to plan a trip. Safe travels and have a blast in San Juan!!
#1 FIRST THING to DO Stop in at Sam's Clothing and Get a Cowboy hat at the Lowest Price in Nashville 227 Rep John Lewis N (formerly 5th Ave) Downtown Nashville next to historic Woolworth Theater across from walgreen's just a Couple Blocks off Broadway ... Tell 'em the Bossman sent ya!
Haha if we had known about it we would have done it….i will surely do this next time we visit. Thanks
Really beautiful scenery. Were headed up there in July, haven't been since before Covid. Such a cool place to explore
That is amazing, I hope you enjoy it. Yes it is a cool place, probably one of our top 5 places in the States to visit.
I’m curious if you enjoyed the tubing this second time as much or more than your previous year at the other location. Which one do you think kids would enjoy more? Also thank you for these videos! I found them after my research and it has clarified a lot for me planning from St. Augustine. :)
Okay for sure you want to go to Hawksnest! Sugar Mountain was fun but tubing is kind of limited and an afterthought to the ski slopes, however Hawksnest is built around tubing. Please come back here and let us know what you thought after….but you will have a great time tubing, it’s something we want to do again. Enjoy your trip and thank you for watching, it makes us happy when we hear that we helped someone plan a vacation.
Looks like an absolutely gorgeous hike! Love the rainforest ambiance there.
It’s an incredible place to visit, no video can do it justice.
The only people that say, "in Cape Cod" are visitors/tourists. On Cape Cod is for those of us that live here.
Haha noted…must be really awesome to live there
No, the winter SUCKS big time!!!@@MarkandRad
Get wasted, crap on the sidewalks, admire graffiti.... Liberal to do list when blending with the homeless and Trasheville filth
The last time my wife and I rode the ferry, it cost us $28, round trip car and driver and one passenger. Betcha you can't figure what year that was.
Haha lord I have no idea but that sounds like a great price in the 90’s
@@MarkandRad 1993. And I graduated from FHHS in 1963. I was in the 8th grade when the new building was built. Looking at videos of the Island online, things are so!!!!!!!!!!!! different. I lived on the west side where I could see Vancouver Island from my kitchen window. I miss the ocean but I currently live 6 miles from the second largest river in my state which flows into the largest tributary to the Columbia. But now my state is growing like Washington was in 1990. We have been discovered by California here in Idaho.
Well I will say that San Juan Islands are some of the most beautiful and serene places we have been. We really enjoyed exploring around and seeing what it has to offer. I really hope it stays the same because it’s perfect the way it is.
@@MarkandRad I lived there a total of 25 years beginning in 1954. In high school kids couldn't wait to get off "the rock", but after going to college, working, returning a couple times, I began to enjoy it more. One year, around 1965 or so the South End had a U.S. Army landing exercise and the high school girls loved all those boys. There were bleachers set up so the townspeople could watch the landing. In the 60's, there were lots of fishing boats working the Island area. And in the late 50's there was a pea farm in the valley. There wasn't many people living on the waterfront so my dad would catch lots of fish off the rocks and we would go to False Bay and scoop up Dungeness crabs at low tide. Growing up, my parents were always canning crabs and clams and oysters found on beaches. And when in high schools, I and other boys would swim at a deep limestone quarry hole not far from Roche Harbor. When I was 12, I christened a boat that had been built at one of the two shipyards in Friday Harbor. I named it "The Pat", broke the champagne bottle and it slid into the war and when I was 17, I was able to work on it in Alaska where I earned money to go to college. And I got to be on it from Seward to Puget Sound and up and down the Inside Passage several times.This is probably pretty boring for you. Sorry if it is. The lavendar fields and the alpacas, weren't there when we left.
@@user-sk7zc1fc5uI lived on San Juan Island between 1976 and 1989 and moved back in 2015. Wish I had never left!!
I'm gonna guess that Mark is a Scorpio and Rad is a Gemini.
Haha actually Mark’s a Sagittarius and Rad is a Scorpio.
This was awesome y’all!!! What an amazing video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you buddy

Thank you!!!! Lobster was delicious

Lol thanks.
Loved it! “Let’s go eat some Lobster!”❤️
Haha she practiced saying it like the locals “lobsta”
Pleasant surprise ❤ video is beautiful and well made.
Thank you very much
Great vid! What month did you go there?
January and February, we have been twice and both months are the best chance of seeing snow. It’s a great place to visit.
I had the fortune of living on San Juan Island for a couple of years in my younger days, I actually took my driving test there, and worked at the Roche Harbor resort restaurant McMillins. One night my brother and I went out with a few buddies for some underage drinking on one of the guys parents 14 or 16 foot boston whaler (so not a big boat at all), drifting with the current somewhere west of the mouth of mosquito bay . It was just starting to start getting dark but we notice further down the shore line to the west a few boats approaching which was going to spoil our fun... we were just about to head out to another location when feet away a huge orca broke the surface so close that the water it displaced I thought was going to come over the edge and sink the boat. The next few moments we found ourselves right in the middle of at least four or five whales in the pod... the boats that were coming our way were whale watchers following that pod. That was I'd have to say so far in my life the most exhilarating, awe inspiring, and yet absolutely terrifying experience with nature Ive ever had. Really enjoyed your video, brought me back to many fond memories. I also enjoyed whom ever did the video editing color grading work, especially in the nice deep contrast, obviously excluding the older gen go pro captures, which to me gave that section a nostalgic feel to me, but that could be based on me already knowing the area.
Wow that is one heck of an awesome story! I cannot imagine being in a small boston whaler and have an orca bust through the water that close….hey on the bright side that boat won’t sink haha. I’m very glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for the compliment. I do all the editing and color grading myself. Far from a pro but I do the best I can, and yes GoPro footage is awesome when you need it but hard to push the colors around and good luck getting more contrast out of it but they are great cameras when you need them. Thank you very much for watching our video and thank you for the story, that was really cool to hear about
So, getting drunk is the only thing to do in Asheville.
The title says Brewery Hopping, so no there’s a lot more to do, however for this video we wanted to try as many breweries as we could spread out over 3 days. We also went rafting and zip lining in another video if you’d be interested in that. Asheville is known for the breweries and restaurants….thanks 😊
Pretty much....libs are great at ruining cities quick
I enjoyed this a lot! I was just there and I made a video about it too. Hurricane Ridge is so pretty.
Thank you! I’ll have to check your video out as well. It’s a beautiful place!
Beautiful video, well done!
Thank you very much!
For the longest time, I thought the place belongs to Martha Stewart..
Haha, that’s funny because we were curious how it got it’s name as well.
Where is your jacket from?
Patagonia and we highly recommend them. They are super light and keep you really warm.

My sister lives there! Beautiful island and surrounding area.
It is probably one of our favorite places, it’s so beautiful
WOW, what a beautiful place! I have never been there, so it was great to see the video. Thanks for the tour! Very Cool! Thank you for sharing this spectacular video. Liked and SUBBED!
Thank you very much! We appreciate it and it surely is beautiful. We enjoyed it very much
You as well! You are VERY welcome. I am pleased to be a part of your journey. 😁@@MarkandRad
My wife and I are heading to the island next week! Did you have any issues shooting drone footage there? From what you said you can't shoot at Lime Kiln but other parts of the island are ok?
So state parks are off limits but most of the island there is no issue flying. You’ll love it, we hope you have an amazing time
This was incredibly helpful. Thank u!
You’re very welcome!
Happy.
I’m happy you’re happy 😊
We are getting ready to visit! What is the name of the beach at the 2:25 mark?
That was the Hidden Lake Trail and it was great, however a bit of a more private beach I’d try the Old Indian Trails: Black Arrow Green Arrow Loop! There was no one else there except for us.
Fantastic video. Lots of lovely scenery, interesting places, good commentary and all rather nicely edited with bouncy music. Very enjoyable watch.
Thank you very much! We appreciate the compliment and thank you for watching.
Nice job, great shots!
Thank you very much!! ☺️
Great production. Looks beautiful. Surprised you didn’t make it to Paradise.
Thank you very much! There was so much we didn’t do here that we really wanted to, however we look forward to going back in July or August when the whole park is open and exploring. It’s a beautiful place to explore.
Beautiful scenery, light house and an amazing hotel/restaurant!
Thank you
Love it! Would love a piece of that fudge!!!
It was good fudge
So I was surounded by water down there for 3 solid days. One body fished out of my fishing hole west of town. The second one at the apartment a mile from south precinct. The flood drove me out. And I loved that Southern Town. I learned the best parts of my guitar those 6 years I was there. The Civil war was not so devicive, Morons are exclusive of the truth. Thats how every Empire Falls.
So sorry to hear about that, that is terrible, I’ve personally never been through a flood I can’t even imagine what it is like. Nashville is an awesome city with a lot of soul to it. If you lived there I’m sure you must miss it.
I visited the island last week and biked to Shanty Town where I had a lobster roll. Also saw some kids jump off the Jaws bridge. Next time I visit I want to go to the west side of the island where you went. Way less people.
That’s awesome! So glad you had a good time. Yes the west side is much quieter and more low key, it’s also got the beautiful cliffs however the whole island is a lot of fun…..and the lobster rolls….we miss them.
Great video! Going to Iak Bluffs in Oct. Can you acess bus info online or get printed schedules upon arrival?
Here is the website: www.vineyardtransit.com/bus-route-schedules As soon as you get off the ferry there is a visitor information center that has the bus passes and all the information you’ll need. I’d call and ask about October for the buses, I know that is the off season and the schedules differ. Either way I hope you have a wonderful time and thank you for watching the video! Safe travels.
@@MarkandRad Great thanks so much for the info and quick response!
You are very welcome. Hope you have a good time.
So beautiful! Great video!
Thank you!
