Time stamps below. Welcome back to the channel, everyone! In this video, we take you on a trip to Central Oregon and share some exciting experiences along the way. We kick off our adventure by attempting to hike into Sparks Lake but encounter some obstacles due to snowy roads and fallen trees. Don't worry, though, this video is not construction-related!
Just a few weeks ago, I found myself stranded at Johnston Ridge Observatory in Washington due to a massive landslide. Unfortunately, my car is still stuck there, and we've been informed that it won't be accessible until next summer. It was quite an eventful ordeal, but we managed to maintain a sense of humor and were eventually rescued by a helicopter from the King County Sheriff's Office. You won't believe the stunning footage we captured from up in the air!
As we continue our journey, we make the most of the situation and explore the beauty of Oregon. We share our experiences of hiking Misery Ridge at Smith Rock State Park, enjoying the breathtaking views and lush greenery. We also make a stop at Deschutes Brewery, a tradition we never miss during our visits to Bend, Oregon. The Elf Burger and peanut butter pie are absolutely delicious!
Now, let's talk about the real star of the show—the Tesla Model Y! We didn't plan on bringing it on this trip, but we couldn't resist testing it out on our drive from Seattle to Bend. We share our thoughts on the car, its performance, and the convenience of charging along the way. Trust me, I've never loved a car as much as I love this Tesla. It's not about making a political statement; it's simply an incredible vehicle to drive.
During our journey, we explore the Cascade Lake Scenic Byway, encounter stunning landscapes, and witness the power of regenerative braking. We even venture into sport mode for a thrilling ride! While we faced some challenges on the road, the Tesla Model Y impressed us with its capabilities.
Of course, we couldn't resist sharing some of the highlights of our trip to Central Oregon. We take you to beautiful locations like Sparks Lake, Devil's Lake, and the mesmerizing lava flows. We also provide insights into charging costs and share our experiences with destination chargers, which we found to be incredibly convenient and often free.
Join us on this incredible journey as we capture the beauty of Oregon and share our Tesla Model Y adventure. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
