- Video from a road trip around North Central Oregon, with scenes of Dufur, Wamic, Tygh Valley, Maupin, Kent, Shaniko, Antelope, Fossil, The Painted Hills, Mitchell, and the Blue Basin.
Fossil resident here: glad you had a nice stay! we are a poor community so I'm glad we weren't too bad. the restaurant at 17:34 was originally much prettier and local owned, it was recently bought. locals are not allowed and it's closed in the off season. lot's of beautiful land around us and great weather. we have been shrinking due to our remoteness, hours from any city. very tightknit local community. as far as i know, the courthouse tower isn't used for much, but the upstairs of the Museum often holds local gatherings and wedding receptions. it's a quite and remote village.
I had a chance to stay in the 'motel' in Shaniko. at 12:06. We were on a geology field trip checking out central Oregon. The next morning was Sunday, May 18th 1980. We were out in the field when a kind of sonic boom and shock wave was felt. Yes, Mt. St. Helens erupted! Our instructor predicted this would happen when we were out. It was overcast and we could not see the ash cloud. Later we were back in Salem and could watch TV and saw what happened.
Thanks for the great video. I really enjoyed it! I'm fortunate enough to live smack dab in the middle of this beautiful country and have visited all these places any number of times including spending a couple of nights at the Balch Hotel in Dufur (where I was the only guest!) Love this country and feel blessed to call it home.
I want to tell you that you do telling the story of central Oregon Great ! I love the way you talk about the Area that you are traveling through.I have not gone where you Describe,and with your Explaning the area,I really like .I am getting old,and was going to travel as you are doing .All of my trveling was with the Help of Unclle Sam,And after ,I worked my tail off.Oh well,Keep up the great job.
I've always wanted to go on this tour, and through the area. You see I was born in Corvallis Oregon. I lived most of my life in central Willamette valley. My parents and grandparents are from Lewiston Idaho, so I always drove interstate 84 and passed the Dufer (and others) sign always wondering what's there. Now I know. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Interesting locations. A ranch house and ranch tour would be great, when you have time. I don't get out much, so I live vicariously through other people. Thanks for the take-a-long.
The price of gas at the abandoned gas station at 8:05 was 66 cents, not 12 cents. The last purchase was for 12 gallons of gas.
Yup, probably around late 70s when last in use.
nice shot

If there is a post office it's a good place to live 😊❤
So much history in those towns..Need more narrative about Maupin and Shaniko
Something to think about when contemplating the leadership of the US. Every small town had a school. First build a church, then a schoolhouse!
Enjoying your video. New subscriber here. Can you tell me what the old wooden wagon with the bars on the sides were , at approx 13:00. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
I assume it was the Paddy wagon or the haul you to jail wagon.
Yup, that was an old paddy wagon...
Prisoner transfers wagon.
No tenemos donde vivir
the blue basin didn't show up well , and the red iron oxide in the hills is much more intense......cameras seem to not get it.........of course the summer sun bleaches colors too
i haven't been over there in a few years , all that boardwalk is new to me
but then Mitchell never saw traffic like now , maybe i don't want to go back
47 people; crime is low.
I would be interested to know: were these recordings all made on a Sunday morning?
Hello ..., well I like this video ...but don't like the all the other short videos
You might learn to pronounce the names of the places your going, as a nearly 50 year resident of OR (Eastern, Western & Central) you lose all credibility when you mispronounce the words. Trying to be a tour guide & doing that makes you sound like an amateur. It's W(ah) mic.
Ok buster see if you can film and put out a video stop nitpicking he is doing a good job 👍
He pronounced Shaniko and Dufur right though. Be kind, tourism is the only reason Central Oregon isn't deserted!
Sooo many chemtrails, I guess I won't be moving there!
? You sound like Laura from Washington street in fossil.
