Exploring Oregon Cascades

Exploring the Oregon Cascades is a popular adventure destination with its many hiking trails through lush forests, snow capped mountain peaks, and numerous lakes for cooling off in summer. Andréa and Silas travel to the Willamette National Forest to camp out at Big Lake with a magnificent view of Mt. Washington. They did multiple loop trail hikes, plenty of swimming, and enjoyed cooking meals while looking out at the view.

I've seen small channels with high production values, but your editing is just so tight. Great stuff. I've also got a T1N. Never seen one with a bump out! Jealous of that, and your seemingly total lack of rust. Cheers

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

Thank you so much for that compliment and thanks for taking the time to watch our video :) Silas installed the bump outs so we could have our bed widthwise so he can sleep comfortably. The van was owned by a Sprinter mechanic before we bought it and he took excellent care of it. There has been some minor rust but nothing a little rustoleum can't gloss over ;)

I'm from Oregon 😁 and in case you didn't know Oregon also has amazing natural hot springs

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

@@leilawitherspoon503 Yes it does! We have several videos on our channel that feature some of Oregon's hot springs.

Usually the gas stove gas tube just needs be cleaned build up of carbon just suggestion

[@HeartCompassAdventures]

The problem this time was it wouldn’t stay lit unless you held down the knob which bypass the thermo couple. I knew it had something to do with the thermocouple circuit. The thermocouple produces a tiny electrical current when a flame heats it. It then holds in an magnetic gas valve and keeps burning as long as the thermocouple has flame on it. Our problem was where the thermocouple couple wire was grounded clipped on the brass valve. It had a tiny bit of oxidation that was preventing a good ground contact. Once I cleaned the contact of the ground clip with a green kitchen scrubby it fired right and stayed lit. I bet this happens all the time with these stoves….
