Just spent a week there, best spot ever to enjoy in Oregon! Thanks for the video. I filmed the Coast Guard coming in under that bridge and on in to their slip area.

[@dronebuzz]

Totally Tom! Watching and filming the boats and other watercrafts as they move seaward and back through the Depoe Bay Bridge is BIG fun! Thanks a ton for watching and happy coasting! ;-) T

[@russharris670]

Dude has a great voice!

[@dronebuzz]

Olive oil and cigars! ;-) Much love Russ! ;-) T

[@joshuabagby2090]

I liked your video presentation skills. I would have liked some more specific details on where the great hikes and nature sights are rather than generalizations about how wonderful it is. That would make your videos more useful.

[@dronebuzz]

I love the way you think! Thanks much Joshua! ;-) T

Charles DePoe, my 4th Great Grandfather

[@dronebuzz]

Lindsey, we are so happy to know you and hope that our depiction honored him and his historical accomplishments. An influential leader from a most wonderful heritage! ;-) Much respect!

[@karendouglass9796]

I clicked on this, hoping to learn some history of Depoe Bay. Sadly, it was all about tourist attractions.

[@dronebuzz]

@@karendouglass9796 Karen! Thanks for your thoughts! We tried to strike a good balance between history and present day Depoe Bay. You clearly make a great point for those who lean toward a more historical approach in telling past and present Oregon coastal stories. Thank you watching and sharing your perspectives! Much appreciation, T ;-) PS. If you do have any specifics that you would like to share, we would certainly consider them for inclusion in an upcoming episode of "Reel Oregon Coast."

[@karendouglass9796]

@@dronebuzz It was put together very well, and the presenter has a great voice. But it seems to have skipped over, except for a very brief mention, of the origination of the community. I personally lean toward history and historical pictures.

[@gipsysmith3383]

Where are all the homeless hanging out

[@dronebuzz]

None were found while we were on location! ;-)

[@stuff12342]

There aren't many homeless on the coast from what I've seen over the past few years. I would imagine it's a bit more difficult to be homeless on the coast rather than cities like Salem, Eugene, and Portland. Less people to pan handle. Plus a much more cold and damp climate would be taxing except for in the summer time.

Taft area! Lincoln city!
