The Continental Crawler series is looking for your ideas for the next show. Whether you are new here or have been watching since day one, if you have an show concept, we want to hear from you! There's almost nothing we won't try twice -- so post a comment and help us create the next episode.
Feel free to also write in your vote for which beer you would like to see appear on the show and we'll get that in there too - The Continental Crawler never wastes a prop.
How about a search for Bigfoot (not Wally).

I am so glad you guys are back! I have been waiting for an update. I just thought the Pacific Ocean just ate you all up. Here are my ideas...
1. Tours of campgrounds of the Oregon Coast. Things to do at each one, where to "catch" or buy your food. Camping etiquette.
2. Breweries and cheese factories of Oregon! Come on people, get your GAS on.
That's all I got.

Cowboy Contests:
First you need to start the meal for the end of the day.
Cook a turkey in a garbage can. Drive a stake into the ground, place a turkey over a rod and on top of aluminum foil. Place a garbage can upside down over the turkey. Start the fire and let the contest begin.
Begin with-
Cow Plop Throwing Contest
Pie Eating Contest
Racing in Burlap Bags Contest
Regional Beer Drinking/Burping Contest
Diving into Mud Contest
Racing Shetland Ponies around the camper with your long legs dragging
End with - Eating the turkey
You would need: cowboy and cowgirl costumes, a garbage can, a turkey, a stake, a rod, aluminum foil, charcoal, cow plops and handy wipes, 3 pies, 3 burlap bags, a whistle and timer, whatever beer and clean Portland air for burping, dirt and enough water to make mud, 3 Shetland Ponies, and plates and forks

I would like to see a tour of Portland.
Put on a hat and suit, carry a briefcase and microphone and interview shop owners and townies.
Find out where the best place is to eat hotdogs (or whatever Portland-orians eat).
Go to city hall and find out about a permit to set up a campsite in the park in the middle of town.
Have a parade welcoming the Continental Crawler into town. How many flag waving people does it take to constitute a crowd? Attach Wally to a cart and let Tanner ride in it. Jen knows how to twinkle and do the beauty queen wave. Toot horns and call out, "We're here, we're here!"

i think the "wa-wah-warh-warhwaaaar" moment when jen deflated michael by pointing out "you're not on tv you're on a blog" and the subsequent comical somber music and michael's brilliant yet oh so sublime facial acting is pretty entertaining.
perhaps some sort of continual seeking out and experiencing the mysteries of the pacific northwest, (oysters, logging, the majestic puget sound, snow capped mountains, salmon, indians, totem poles, cougars, hill-billies, hydro electric dams, the puyallup fair, hippies in eugene etc.) but only getting to a 50% experiential triumph rate each time before something foils michael and comic "introspection, humiliation, frustration, arrest" etc.... begins.
there's a formula here...... as long as you persue a semi-interesting activity each time and you stick to your characters you can't fail ! just have a loose script and, why, the comic mayhem will ensue naturally.
