@1:30:20 Hey, Looks like I was your breakman for this day! I love coming and volunteering there! That Fall Foliage photo train was sure fun!

I have a lot of memories up in the Cascadia area haven’t been around that area for 25 years

Great vid! Thanks for posting! Planning a visit with my boys soon.

So that's the location where one of the best video games, Days Gone, took place!! Amazing - thanks a lot!

Hey, enjoyed your video about tetherow crossing. I lived in that house for several years with my wife and 2 children in the late 1960s to early 70s.

I have 3 more train rides planned for this year, Santiam Excursions in Lebanon, the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad in Garibaldi and the Mt. Hood Railroad in Hood River!

I love a model railroad. That was cool that they turned the lights off.

Very cool. We have a couple railroads near us. One called the Roaring Camp Railroad and the other is the Railtown1897 State park. We've done steam train rides at both. A very cool experience.

I went to Baker once a long time ago, but otherwise have never been to East Oregon. Thanks for sharing!

Those twisted trees are crazy looking.

Ok you found the trailhead, but that's not Lava Falls, that is an un-boatable side channel. Lava Falls (#1 and #2) are on the other side of the lava flow (the lava island).

In 2021, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined that this dam was at risk of failing in a large earthquake in the Cascadia subduction zone, which would result in a "potentially catastrophic flood", which could potentially affect Oregon's state capital, Salem, located downstream. For this reason, the level of the reservoir was lowered by five feet, to reduce the stress on the concrete structure. Capacity: Drainage area: 437 mi² (1,132 km²) Maximum inflow: 63,200 ft³/s (1,790 m³/s) 1909 Lake Elevation Maximum pool: 1,574 ft (480 m) Full pool: 1,569 ft (478 m) Minimum flood control pool: 1,450 ft (442 m) Usable storage (1,425.0 to 1,563.5 ft) = 321,000 acre-feet (396,000,000 m3) Powerhouse Number of units: 2 Nameplate capacity: 100 MW Overload capacity: 115 MW Hydraulic capacity: 5,340 ft³/s (151 m³/s)

My grandparents/ great grandparents were lifelong friends with the Tetherow family, there is even a violin that was given to my uncle from Solomon Tetherow, and when he passed in WW2 my grandmother gave it back to AJ Tetherow, who then returned it to my aunt before he passed!

We spend a week on it every June and love it!

So right off the bat we have a woke tour guide! He tells her ladies first and she goes out of her way to correct him! Smdh! What this guy did is a good video but the wokeness is pathetic! I went aboard the USS Drum and Alabama years ago and the Drum is much smaller on the inside than the more modern diesel electric subs! Man the Drum is so small kinda like the inside of the U Boats I don't know how those guys put up with being in that small of a space for so long. The crazy thing about the U boats were that the diesel smell is not only throughout the ship but sailors claimed that the food tasted like diesel! I never heard reports about the American subs having the same problem with their food but only God knows how German Sailors were able to tolerate it!

Don't know why parents don't hush their kids on group tours, it makes it difficult.

This is on our bucket list. I went when I was a kid, but I want to take my wife and kids to see it. So beautiful.

We didn’t get much chance to explore San Diego when we were there. Thanks for showing us around.

Thank you for this. A well organised tour with an inspired, intelligent, gifted guide, (teacher).

I do realize that this and the next video are not Oregon-related, but I was in San Diego for the weekend to attend an event on Sunday, May 14th and decided to stop at a few of the popular tourist destinations in San Diego!

It was a wagon road to trail crossing/terrebonne

I live right near there

Beautiful!

Does anyone have video of the Wax museum and Ripley's Believe it or not before they remodeled in 2019/ 2020? I liked that older version as well as the newer version I thought they were both pretty good?

You briefly showed the top of the sign which showed the location with coordinates but it was illegible, so I still don't know how to get there?

I'm your 62nd subscriber here. My husband and I are going to explore these towns sometime this summer. I'm looking forward to it.

I went to Shaniko for the first time on July 4. Missed the antique cars. Where are they stored? Also went to Antelope. That old school would be a good movie set.

So, before I heading back to Bend on June 29 I decided to stop at the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse and I was going to do a tour video of the Lighthouse and add it with the Yaquina Head Lighthouse to make one video but after I parked my car and started walking up the steps that lead to the lighthouse there was a gate that was closed and padlocked and a sign that said "closed due to inclement weather" which there was none so I talked to a park ranger that was nearby and he said that the lighthouse has been closed for tours since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 and just haven't been able to re-open but that they would be re-opening in a few weeks! That's when I told him I wouldn't be back in a few weeks I am actually heading back to Bend!

When did you change the channel name? I like it.

If u would move your camera just a bit slower, I might not get so dizzy... 😁😁😁 Thanks ! ❤

My dad lived at Silver Lake... I visited a few times... THANK YOU, I always enjoy seeing things I missed... 😊

I apologize if there are duplicate photos in this video, the first and second photos are the wrong buildings!

Like I mentioned at the beginning of the video, I am giving you the option of either watching the entire video or skipping through it and start watching it at 1:38:25 when I arrive at the Logging Museum, I will leave that entirely up to you!

Love that Captain Planet cosplay.

I apologize for the weird audio distortion when I was at Spring Creek around 2:05:00 of the video, I am not sure why this happens whenever I record near water with my phone!

Great to see you out and about again Tim. Is that a new intro? Those tunnel murals are really nice. Bend looks like a pretty nice place.

At 31:02 you commented that you did know what the item was hanging on the wall. If you have not found out by now it is used to beat the dirt and dust out of the rugs. They would hang the rugs up outside and beat them with this item called a "Rug Beater". I know this by my grandmother telling me at a very young age. This is a wonderful place even though much has been re-created. Thanks for Sharing.

Merry Christmas Tim> Thanks for all the great videos all year, and I look forward to seeing more!

I was the boy scout in the front

At the beginning of video when I said that this was my first time here I was referring to the Holiday Lights Experience I have been to the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center plenty of times!

It's very cool that you visit these off the beat and path places. Don't think I would ever see some of the places you go.

Thanks for sharing Tim!

Tim, the second cabin is within eyesight of the first cabin. Look north. You went upriver which is the wrong way. It's not really a cabin, either, it's a stable.

I really like these falls videos. Nice work.

Nice falls. That did not look like the easiest of walks, a lot of stairs. There's some funky digital distortion on your audio when your close to the spraying water and the falls.

Wow, lots of smoke just like down here.

History and Naming The origin of the name of the creek is unknown. Watson Mountain in the Glide area was named for a James Watson, who settled on the banks of Fall Creek near Glide in 1854. The name may have been carried over for the same individual. Watson Falls was likely named for the creek. Location & Directions Watson Falls can be found along Fish Creek Road #37, just over 2 miles east of Toketee Falls and Lake, itself about 43 miles east of Glide or 16 miles west of Diamond Lake. The parking area is about 500 feet south of Highway 138 on the right side. The trail crosses Road 37 and climbs easily but steadily up to the base of the falls in about 1/3 mile.

Betcha that was pretty loud up close. Beautiful country!

sorry if the video is a little out of focus I used my phone this time instead of my camera!

(Sorry if the video seems zoomed in after the 10:36 mark it didn't become apparent until after the video was edited and I believe the falls at 25:06 is the lower White River Falls) White River Falls is the upper 90 foot falls and Celestial Falls is the lower 44 foot falls dropping into the pool. Celestial Falls is the second step of the major falls of the White River, and was formerly considered to be part of White River Falls itself. The falls drop 41 feet over a uniform ledge, plunging into a large pool at the base of the formation, with White River Falls visible just 180 linear feet upstream. The falls feel oddly out of place in the gently undulating foothills on the east side of the Cascades near the town of Maupin. The White River originates on Mount Hood some 40 miles upstream, gathering lots of smaller tributaries as it rolls downhill towards its confluence with the Deschutes River. By the time it reaches the Tygh Valley its a fairly substantial river. Tygh Valley happens to be where the river intersects the plateau-like flood basalts that layer practically all of eastern Oregon and the resulting two-stepped waterfall serves as a harsh transition from peaceful farmlands on one side to a twisting, geologically storied canyon on the other. The falls being situated in an agricultural area resulted in it being harnessed for both hydroelectric production and irrigation use in the past. Upstream from White River Falls is the remnants of the diversion structures, which continue to redirect the majority of the river toward the old intake system for the now defunct hydroelectric plant located near the base of the falls. This causes much of the river to spill over a portion of White River Falls in a way which it would not naturally, however it has no impact on Celestial Falls itself. Until 2014, this waterfall had not been distinctly or officially recognized as separate from White River Falls. The falls have long been a popular location for whitewater kayakers, and had been affectionately (but unofficially) referred to as Celestial Falls for several decades. In 2014 the Oregon Board of Geographic Names chose to officially adopt this name for the falls. We do not agree that this naming convention is appropriate because White River Falls and Celestial Falls are neither visually nor geologically distinct enough to be considered separate waterfalls in our opinion, however the name Celestial is certainly a much better name than White River Falls. Greg Plumb's Waterfall Lover's Guide book has referred to this fall as Middle White River Falls.
