Experience Oregon’s Wild Overland Adventure

[@Venture2Roam]

This was such an epic adventure..full of mistakes, mishaps, and wrong turns...but mostly full of Epic views, incredible locations, and really really good people. I hope you will subscribe to my channel for more content like this: kzbin.info

Awesome trip. Always wanted to do something like it. A couple of notes, I'm a retired Forest Service Road Manager in Baker City. The "mud slides" on the Marble Cr. Pass road is actually an old lime quarry. The Marble Cr. road was built around 1957 by the Chemical Lime Co. in support of a mining operation for limestone. The mine was an open quarry mine. The east side, Baker Valley side, Marble Cr. quarry operated from 1957 to 1963. The road winds it's way up and through the heart of the quarry. Another lime quarry, the Baboon Cr. Quarry, was opened up on the west side, Sumpter Valley side, of the Elkhorn Ridge. The road likewise winds through this quarry as well and tons of left over limestone tailings can be seen today, in fact this section of road is built from limestone tailings (mud slide). The limestone becomes super saturated in rain, washing down hill and hard as concrete when dry. Heavy trucks hauled the limestone up an over Marble Cr. Pass and down the bone shattering road to the processing plant in Baker Valley. The Baboon Cr. quarry was closed in 1971. Today the road is used mainly by locals, hikers, and hunters. Another note. Even though a map may show a public access road through private land (like near Beulah Reservoir), if the public entity doesn't have Right of Way, the road through the private section is private and the landowner has every right to lock the gate.Happy Trails🙂

Great comment. Thanks for sharing! Love the history.

[@silver-berry]

This kind of local information available around the globe is the best part of KZbin, IMHO. thank you!

What an awesome adventure. I'm going to Jeep Jamboree in Tillamook for the first time in June!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you! I've heard that Jamboree is really fun. Hope you have a blast!!!

[@mikechandler3791]

Awesome, thank you for sharing. Don’t want to be too sappy here but with all the turmoil in our world today it truly warmed my heart to see the friendships all working through the little things. In the end it is those little things that make the adventure a memory that will last a lifetime.

[@Venture2Roam]

I don't think that's sappy at all...that's how it felt as well. We are still talking about this trip..even though we've been on many since!

[@brandonreyes9638]

Awesome adventure! Also BTW I’m a mechanic, that sound you heard was a rock that got stuck in between the rotor and the backing plate . Terrible sound happens all the time when traveling on gravel roads! Love the content cheers 🤙🏼

[@Venture2Roam]

That’s the worst sound! In all my miles on doesn’t that was the first time I’ve heard it on my rig. Thank goodness it was an easy fix. So cool to hear you are liking the vids. More coming soon!!

[@josephlininger2677]

That rock, is a sound that makes everyone cringe. I'm laughing, 😅 we have all experienced it but man you kept your cool, proud of you!!!

[@craigcook490]

Nailed it! New subscriber here, I have been following a few other overland channels that have turned into giant money making entities. THIS is what it's all about, Jeeps, family, friends and adventure. The other guys, which I have unsubscribed from, might appeal to 1% of the Jeep owners now, just stopped getting it. Sad but true, making money won out for them. Can't say enough how much I enjoyed this.

[@Venture2Roam]

So glad to hear it!! I can’t speak to the other channels you used to watch, but am stoked to hear our content resonated. Don’t be afraid to keep me honest as we grow…because I agree that it should stay focused on those things.

[@Meanderthal-Adventures]

What a great adventure! The end really made me homesick. I'm originally from WA (Snoqualmie) and spent many years out on the WA coast (Aberdeen/Hoquiam/Ocean Shores), and I miss those Pacific sunsets. I now live out in NJ.

[@Venture2Roam]

We were on the East Coast (NYC) for 6 years before coming back home. Good sunsets out there too…but something about the western skyline gets me every time. So glad this brought back some good memories for you!!!

[@adventuresofjandk]

That Portland camping burn was hilarious and yet sadly so true. As an Oregonian that lives just outside Portland I can tell you that is 100% the case. We’ve had just about all we can take of this town.

[@Venture2Roam]

It's definitely not the same downtown Portland I grew up enjoying.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@Venture2Roam ya that is for sure. Just FYI I’ve been binge watching all your Oregon content. Wife and I are looking to move from Portland to central Oregon and when we do the sports car is getting sold and a new Jeep will once again be in the garage. Thanks for all the inspiration. 😂👍

Watching you cross Marble Creek Pass in June brought back memories. I grew up in Baker City and have crossed Marble Creek often. June is pretty early for that particular part of the Elkhorn Mountain Range.

[@Venture2Roam]

I grew up in Ontario, and played Baker in sports…you guys were always tough. I think we were the first full size rigs over the pass this year. We saw tracks, but they were from ATV. I love that mountain range…I think it’s one of the best in Oregon.

[@michelletheseashell]

This video is incredible! I always wanted to get in the over landing with family in a jeep or humvee. We just moved from Washington to Las Vegas and the greenery was absolutely breathtaking. The whole journey you did, and you drove through some parts that I camped in was incredible. I love the final destination. And there’s something so nostalgic and comforting about being in the forests when it’s foggy and rainy. I didn’t know how lucky I was! Now, I’m getting into riding my Polaris quad through the desert. She was used to the forest before! I do have one question, when you get home, how do you not feel sad that your trip is over? I always get this, when I come home I become so emotional and try to think about the next fun journey that’s ahead. This channel deserves more hype! Am excited that I found you guys out❤🤗

[@Venture2Roam]

We did the NV BDR in Sept..that vid is coming out asap. NV actually blew me away. So different, but equally beautiful. I’m a actually equal parts sad and excited when a trip ends. Sad because the adventure is over..but excited to start working on the video. I get to relive it many times over. Thank you so much for watching!!

[@tomasr64]

Wow! No camping, full camp sites in October in Eastern Oregon? La Grande? Steens mtn? Crazy. And yeah, paisley oregon is sweet country. Thanks for making a fine video. I used to drive a Jeep. Wish I could find a single lady who does what y'all do. good on ya for trying those empty" roads" good job making it to the beach for sunset, thats a long haul.

[@Venture2Roam]

[@WildcatPhoto]

Did I miss it, which Cascades pass did you go over and where to at coast. I never drove on the beach, sand, salt, etc., then I've seen too many people lose their cars and RV in the surf. When I was over at the Wallowas, the road down to Hells Canyon was closed for repairs, so I had to go a long way around because I was going for a boat ride. Some day, I'll get back there. And Knowing Oregon all my 75 years, I did not really think you would get far in the back country, but it was nice seeing it.

[@Venture2Roam]

We drove through Eugene to Florence to get to the coast. Having grown up in Eastern Oregon and Idaho…I knew there was a chance some of those roads would be closed…but we’ve worked out most of the roadblocks now. Sorry to hear the roads were closed when you were at Hells. They are in great shape now!

[@WildcatPhoto]

I thought you were on Willamette Pass. You went right by me, I'm about halfway between Eugene and Florence, out in the bushes. In winter, I like the coast because usually not so cold. But east of Cascades in summer, I have to be super careful of rattlesnakes for dog who stays on leash.

[@Leopteryx]

1:18:32 you got a little crawly friend climbing up your jacket collar

[@danielstevens3869]

Burns is Southeast Oregon not Central Oregon, We consider Bend/Redmond/Madras Central Oregon

[@Venture2Roam]

You’re right, although Bend is west of center and there is quite a bit of central Oregon East of Bend. That said, the feel of the landscape doesn’t change much from Vale to Christmas Valley, so it’s easy to for me say the wrong word…heck I say the wrong thing even when I know where I am!!

[@danielstevens3869]

@Venture2Roam you are forgiven then. Just keep up the good content, and hopefully, sometime I can join. After I get my Rebel and upgrade it for overlanding

[@josephlininger2677]

Hey, I'm new to over landing. How did you support those molle hangers on you're trk. I have a Dodge Durango and I think they look awesome. I really enjoyed you're basic over landing but don't forget the upkeep of your vehicle, absolutly imperative to your survival. You don't have to have a new vehicle but u gotta have a trusting vehicle and you gotta have some tools, you could do a show on that😮

[@Venture2Roam]

On the Jeep the side racks are from Trailrax. The side molles on the Gladiator are from RCI I believe. Thanks for the suggestion on content topics!

[@ambledog]

Is there a website that has posted routes? I know this particular one isn't ready yet, but maybe others are available somewhere? I really enjoyed your film, a lot of work went into it, that's for sure.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you! I haven't shared any other routes. This is the only one I'm planning on making available. I hope to have sections on of it ready in the next month or so, and the whole thing ready by Spring.

[@Mannix007]

Absolutely EPIC! Can't wait to hit this route. A question about your flawless radio comms.. How do you handle it so there's little or no stepping on each other? Is that the editing or do you set some ground rules in advance with particular radio etiquette? It's really smooth and I love the captions with individual photos so we know who's keying their mic. Keep up the GREAT work!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you!! We don’t follow any standard radio coms protocols…it just kind of works for our group since we know each other so we’ll. There are a few times we overlap that I edit out..but not often.

Great movie! Is the AOR the East-West version of the BDR? Plans to make any more?

[@elgastsos210]

Who makes your extra fuel/gas bracket and would you recommend?

[@Venture2Roam]

The mount on the 392 that hangs over the back window is from Trailrax. The ones of the front door hinge of the JKU are from Amazon. I like both. The trailrax is a more useful piece of gear because you can mount more things on it.

[@stoic_overland]

I swear I watched this a few months ago. Did you re-upload this or is this a longer version of one of your Oregon videos?

[@Venture2Roam]

Yes I did. I originally launched this as a 3 part series, but shot it and edited it as a single feature length film. I made some adjustments to the long version, but it's intended for folks who'd rather sit down and watch the whole story vs those who just want a quick episode here and there. I did the same thing with the Idaho BDR series last year, and am planning on doing the same thing with our upcoming Nevada BDR film.

What do you all hold your phones in the car? Wouldn’t it be so much easier to use phone mounts? Live the video though.

[@Venture2Roam]

Glad you like the vid. We do have phone mounts…but that footage can be really shakey on rough roads so we just started holding the phones when shooting. Plus most of the footage isn’t from a phone, it’s from a full frame camera, which is very tricky to mount because they are bigger and heavier.

[@merg2928]

you really need to get ONX so you know what land you’re on. I’ve done a lot of this travel in Arizona always checking who owned it and often you can get a hold of the owner and I will allow you through. Just takes more research.
