MY FIRST HOT SPRINGS: OVERLANDING THE OREGON OWYHEE CANYONLANDS DAY 4

[@sagebrushbob2321]

The lighter parts of the Pillars of Rome are a mixture of lake bottom clay and mud and volcanic ash from local volcanos around 3-5 million years ago. They are preserved by a darker, hardened "cap" of 'welded tuff', created by extremely hot volcanic ash that was still semi-molten when it fell from the sky and 'welded' itself together on the ground. Imagine a 1500 degree rain made up of droplets of molten rock.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

That's super cool! Thank you for sharing that knowledge. I was very curious as to how they were formed but couldn't really find anything talking about that

[@Devjones2236]

This is what it’s about. Rock crawling is cool, but the real magic and the reason for these rigs are for true over landing to places you are exploring. Great videos.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I agree 100%. Love the obstacles when I find them, but it’s more about experiencing parts of the world few others do

[@martinsoler868]

Dude, I have seen the four videos, and I love it. If I hadn't a handicap I will try to do a overlanding to see what I feeling. I liked this type of videos because the are very quiet. I love it!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed them! I hope you are able to have an experience similar, even if it is not through your overlanding

[@martinsoler868]

@@OFFTHEGRIND I will be happy if I can do a road trip, but I'm living on a island and I need to go to the continent. I'm European. ;) Is your Bronco petrol? I love the exhaust noise. My dreamed car is a 4x4.

[@treboy]

I know it’s not easy getting in and out of your truck setting up the differnt camera views and monitoring your drone at the same wuth other stuff I appreciate the hard work

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you for that! I truly appreciate it

[@blucuzzin]

Crazy dope ass adventure, got your coins worth outta the Bronco, keep em coming!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! Definitely more to come!

[@chimpyota5202]

Amazing Series. I finally was able to get some time to watch all of it and all i can say is, just amazing work. The editing, the shots, the voice overs, everything is just great. You make me want to plan a trip there next and I am about 25 hours away. Keep up the good work my man!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much! For taking the time to watch the entire series, but also taking the time to leave a comment. I honestly feel a 25 hour drive would be so worth it. This area changed my life and how I think about adventures and I’m not even joking. I LOVED my time there and am eager to get back

[@benzobianco]

You tell a great story! The colours are magic. Keep them coming!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you I’ll definitely keep them coming!

[@OldskoolHiFi]

I've been coming back to your channel more and more. This series sealed the deal for me and I decided to become a Patreon. Keep up the great work! When I can't get out to do it on my own, I know I can tune into your channel to get my fix!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much so joining and for the support. I am lucky enough to be able to get out pretty often, so my goal is to encourage others to do the same, but if they can't, I want you to be able to live my adventure through my video. That is what I aim for at least.

[@Kaiu]

What a gorgeous hidden gem!!!! Those springs look incredibly truck between all the amazing rock formations. And also, damn your bronco was COVERED in thick mud. Sick adventure ending!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

It truly is such an incredible spot! You see why that was a must for me while I was there! And yeah it was so thick! The headlights and taillights were completely ineffective

[@SkylinersYeti]

there are lots of hot springs in Central and Eastern Oregon. One of the many things to enjoy. I also feel it is important to go slow and smell the sage brush. Do not try to cover too many miles each day but enjoy the moment.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

That’s exactly what this trip was too! Man it was awesome I can’t wait to go back. I’ll definitely look in to more hot springs too. I really enjoyed that

[@masonstruckadventure9368]

Definitely a happy ending. Can't wait to see Leslie's or Timbers gulch in a couple weeks

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

You will love it! It’s mind blowing!

[@markedwards3457]

Great trip. Added a few more pins to the map for when i get down that way.🚙 Thanks

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Perfect! You’ll have a blast out there!

[@danbrewer6367]

Thanks!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Of course! Thank you!

[@cgarrisonak]

Another fantastic video of the Owyhees! We camped at Birch Creek Ranch this past week and it was beyond gorgeous! Loved your video of the drive out as well.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Birch creek was such a great spot! Love the history as well. Thanks!

[@Principal9999]

So good! That snake!!!! Amazing series. Looking forward to more. Thanks.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! Can’t wait for the next series!

[@outdooring8187]

Fantastic! Great trip, great filming, great editing! This is now on my bucket list?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed

[@robertyoung8289]

All that mud brought a tear to my eye. I feel your pain. So difficult to ever return to normalcy.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Hahaha I’m still finding it on the bronco!

[@carlosparacio5679]

Rock in the brake, usually driving backwards briefly will eject it. Pretty typical on some rigs. :)

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I actually tried that and it made it worse. I’m thinking it was between the rotor and splash guard rather than the caliper because of that. It ejected eventually though

[@joshleal9811]

That was a awesome trip. Every wild animal, mountain, river, and vegetation was a wonderful adventure. Hopping to do that trail one day. Thank you for share this experience with us. ⭐⭐⭐🤘

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Definitely hope you can get out there and do it soon as well

[@connieheld1692]

What a spectacular trip! I thoroughly enjoyed the series and look forward to the next!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much! Planning the next as we speak

[@atgrant2312]

I finally got time to finish Day 4! What a trip, what a series!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

It was an incredible experience, that’s for sure! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@CascadiaOverland]

Loved this series! Great work on the videos. We are doing the new ORBDR in 5 days and super stoked. These have got us even more excited.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Oh sick!! That’s going to be an awesome trip! I’d like to do that some day as well. Thank you!

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Duuuuuude! That hot spring looks amazing. Killer end to an incredible series!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

That hot springs was incredible man! Gonna start looking for them more which means I need to take care of this dad bod lol! Thanks so much man!

[@briankuykendall1716]

If you ever get back to that area look up iron point. That was the best part of my trip down there. Its the deepest part of the owyhee canyon. Great video.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I absolutely will! I definitely will be going back at some point

[@JacobScript]

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Great job man! Love what you're doing. Keep it up!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks Jacob! It was great meeting you out there too!

[@Crumb_Trails]

Fantastic adventure once again!

[@BrianDoherty-e8s]

Great trip, Hoss. Good idea to always carry tools in the backcountry. Nobody out there to help but you and lonesome. A rescue tow is nearly impossible to arrange and if you find someone it can easily cost $1K. If you are lucky other overlanders might help, but don't bet the ranch on it. Roads in the Owyhee eat vehicles for breakfast.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Yeah absolutely. I always have tools with me but somehow forgot them at home on this trip. Luckily nothing major happened

[@hichamhrdhf8773]

Beautiful spot.

[@davidaimone5888]

Great Video. I've added the trip to my list! Thanks!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

That hot spring is a must! Hard to get to both by vehicle and walking down to it but worth the effort! Thank you!

[@Ridesaway24]

Awesome trip. Thank you for sharing. This is a unique area to explore.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

It’s an awesome area! I miss it

[@erniep21bimmer]

Thanks for tagging along with me! Glad you enjoyed the series

[@NascentingOpinion]

Hey man! Love the video, great drone shots. I'm thinking of heading to this hotspring In my 3rd gen 4runner this winter. I was wondering if the water is warm enough to be comfortable in the cold. I'm more than happy to swim in luke warm water, but my girl gets cold easy and I wanted to see what you thought about the temp before going.

[@jandr72]

Nice ending to what looked like a very cool trip!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks! Yes it was the perfect ending I think!

[@randyhauck3303]

Fantastic series and what a great adventure. Thank you for sharing. Would you be willing to share your trip route. This is on my list to do this fall

[@DanielStinebaugh]

Awesome trip! Do you still use your mammoth trailer anymore? I'd love a "long term" review from an actual owner!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I actually don’t have it anymore. I’m making a video in a few weeks that goes over why cause I get this question all the time. Just know if I could get it back I absolutely would. I love it. I still talk to the new owner and he’s loving it as well and has had no problems with it

[@msiebel29]

Awesome series! Very jealous of this trip. Can you share where to get the route data you took for this trip?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks man! I will be uploading the route to my website soon so you can download the GPX file of the route I took with notes and all that

[@msiebel29]

Awesome! Thanks for that - also, I noticed you don’t have a winch on your Bronco…why is that? I have a 4Runner and on the fence about getting a winch so would be interested to hear your thoughts.

[@josephbranco1092]

That mud looks crazy lol

That mud does not mess around

On your experience, which would be an ok height clearance for a vehicle 🚗? Thanks

[@larrybriggs2920]

Wow, what a trip. Now I wish I went with you. That hot spring was incredible. How hot was it? Socal isn't known for these kind of trails, although I would like to be in an area that had this kind of greenery. Very well done. What kind of exhaust do you have? Great video, keep 'em rollin' 😊

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the series! The hot springs was awesome! Kinda like getting in the shower after your wife has stolen all the hot water but still great! I have a corsa exhaust

What type of rooftop tent and rack are you using?

I’m using the ikamper skycamp mini and the TrailRax TRMR rack which I have a link for in the description if you’re interested. Hands down the best rack on the market for the bronco

[@4x4Guac]

How often did you have to use you tracks to get out of the mud?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I didn’t have to at all on this trip luckily. Just kept my speed and tire speed up
