Thanks for making this wonderful video! I’ve primarily been hiking the greener side of Oregon for 25 years. I can see that it’s time to put the other side on my radar too. Tumbleweed on.

Been there while traveling. Wish I could live there.

I am Nevadan (born and raised) part Arizonan, part Utahn, part Idahoan, and part Massachusetts. My mom and grandpa are nevadans, his grandparents are from Idaho, and my dad is a Utahn and his mom is from Massachusetts

I JUST started watching this. I'm so excited. I'll be making a first-time solo trip to SE Oregon at the end of summer. This series will help me plan for it. Thank you!

Your two videos on the Outback were stunningly beautiful. I really hope you continue this series. Thank you.

Grew up in Burns and I knew some great people from Christmas valley. 145

I wonder, does the maker of this video listen to the Risky Biscuit Hayseed Hoot radio show? I first learned about Edward Abbey on there, and I was tickled to hear his name mentioned in this video. Sort of like the Hunter S. Thompson of the environmentalist philosophy.

I was happy to stumble across this video. I’m a Central Oregon girl, born and raised. Before so many houses started going up around Grizzly Mtn, my brother and sister and I used to go exploring in the junipers. We found a lovely little stream with a freezing cold swimming hole at the bottom of the hill. I don’t think that stream is even there anymore. Someone bought the land and plopped a McMansion right about where that stream used to be about seventeen years ago. Even so, some of my favorite childhood memories take place there. I still feel a spiritual draw to those hills.

Nice, but the music volume makes it hard for old folks like me to hear what you are saying. Been many years since I was out that way, awesome area.

❤❤❤oh how i miss my beautiful high desert,and I want to go home!😢😢😢please..

One thing about central oregon that i wont ever forget is, the smell of the juniper trees.

Check out the Secret life of the Deserts of the Pacific Northwest-A 17 episode series we filmed in 2019-2021. You are in my favorite place in Oregon. Mike Denny

A moving video sir.

My favorite piece of peace

One of the few magic places where you can still hear your own heartbeat.

Seen a great deal of this country, in 30 years of traversing lonely dirt roads in the middle of the outback in 4 states I have seen much of it, my family settled this country 4 generations ago, so many hidden gems. Shhhh, keep it a secret. It could become like the Lost Sierras, not so lost anymore.

I always thought Oregon was beautiful

Just saw this tonight and smashed the like and sub buttons. Great stuff! I've driven around the Great Basin several times and it is absolutely fascinating. The silence can indeed be deafening. I'm on the wet side of the Cascades but love the high desert.

A magical place indeed 🎩💜💜💜

It looks like God told mother earth what was going to take place on her surface and she vomited and almost died then she cried and cried then she was flooded with her tiers

Had a small taste of this neighborhood around Fields, fantastic, would love a return trip.

Thank you, magician.

My 319 acre property near Crystal Crane Hot Springs is still for sale. You can live here and not just visit.

So why are you at 8;21 driving on the right side of your truck?? Try to make a creative answer please.

I've got 319 acres south east of Burns near Crystal Crane Hot Springs I'll sell you. It has sage, grasses, jack rabbits, pronghorn, deer, stock well and a slough running thru it. It's quiet except for the occasional moo.

And the geology is incredibly fascinating. Like nowhere else on earth. Remnants of super volcanic calderas So huge that you do not know you are within one.

Nice video! I call the High Desert my home! It truly is a beautiful place.

After living the first 35 years of my life in Oregon, your commentary and photography have reminded me how much I miss it. I hope to return some day. Thank you.

yikes

Beautiful, evocative videos. I have travelled in many of these places. I especially remember my amazement at Crack in the Ground and so many unnamed places that made me feel so very insignificant . Beautiful beautiful! Thank you!

really well done video presentations of an amazing region. Bravo.!

🤩 OMG

👍👍💞

Golly man, this series on the Outback is really good! It's beautiful, insightful and meditative. You have a great eye for compositions. Well done Stanley Paul.

Part 1 was very interesting, but Part 2 is captivating. The photography is wonderful, but your dialog is what really got me. I've seen several overlanding videos from S/E Oregon, but none reveal it's beauty and personality like you have. It leaves me anxious for more. Thank you!

we have every landscape in Oregon the beach, rainforests, snowing Mt's, desert & sage & everything in between i've lived here all my life 43 years traveled all over the state and i'd never leave here, Portland has had some very rough times lately but my grandparents left Ireland in 1920 landed on the east coast, headed west because NY was hard on Irish & Italian immigrants so headed west until the arrived here & here we will stay " O "

A wonderful presentation thank you I too explore my area in Australia and document my amazing findings on my channel There is so much to discover! 🧱❤️

Got my introduction to the grandeur and beauty of Eastern Oregon camping next to the Steens Mountain range on the Alvord desert for a week in 2003. A lifetime of exploration in those high desert environments. Will keep going back until the end.

All at once serene and spectacular. Gorgeous video! We are guests upon her soil, but we may have worn out our welcome

I am astounded by vlogs as there is so much work involved with the equipment & editing, on top of doing the adventure.

Thank you! I've got an Oregonian friend who whines about how anyone could love the California desert, but when I pointed out to him that Malheur and its surroundings are also a spectacular desert, he didn't even want to talk about it. We've spent weeks wandering around there, driving from sand sailing to a glacier high above it, through dozens of microclimates on the way.

Nice work, Thank you. Please keep it up.

Stanley, Much gratefulness to you for respecting and sharing our Oregon desert. I'm so selfish. I want this for myself cuz I love it so much. It's been at least 10 years since I was in SE OR. just praying nothing has changed much. what an escape fr SoCAL. luckily I teach/taughts so I had months of in summer, to immerse in Hole in the Ground, Lost Forest, Fort Rock, Xmas valley. so many more esp OWHYee River. Thanks for sharing Dgunde13 , check my site out on youtube.

just listen .....

Beautiful, thank you for your documentation of the nature that surrounds humanity, usually out of sight.

My favorite region

It's funny to me that after growing up in Auburn CA I wanted to go to school in Humboldt county, I was so interested and captivated by the lush fern forests and still am. Then I moved to McCloud CA and did some solo road trips up to the southern east side of Oregon and was just amazed, it's pretty much the opposite of what I thought I really felt at home in but i couldn't believe how happy it made the soul to be in such a desolate dry expanse of beauty, no one I've met recommends this area, is it just not for everyone?, just simply not popular? I'm not sure. But wow, beautiful video man, great info, and photography. So excited to get back up there soon 🙏 many thanks!

Nicely done. I was bitten by that basin bug some 40 years ago and it still hasn't lost it's grip. There are times I sit down somewhere with no signs of human interference and just sit. Most times I end up dozing, and almost every time it ends with a deep pain of solitude and a compassion for those that have tried to live there in decades past.

This is the Oregon I love
