Hey there, welcome to my channel! Grab a cup of coffee and join me on my adventures exploring Oregon, the western United States, the country, and sometimes the planet. I'll share my favorite hikes, lots of interesting places, and the best coffee joints wherever I travel.
I grew up in Binghamton, NY, graduated from Marietta College in Ohio, and served 5 years as a rescue helicopter pilot in the US Navy, including a tour of Vietnam in 1968-69. I spent the next 20 years on the East Coast, with the Adirondacks, the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Green Mountains of Vermont as my backyard.
I emigrated to the west coast and Eugene in 1992 where I worked for Eugene Sign & Awning until retirement in 2016. I’ve climbed many major peaks in the West. As I approach 80 years, with the altitude not so friendly, I’m doing a moderate hike every week on some of the many hundreds, if not thousands of beautiful trails in Oregon.

Iceland Ring Road: Svartifoss to Djúpivogur
Welcome to our second day in Iceland and the continuation of our journey around the country’s famous and beautiful Ring Road. We encounter a spectacular waterfall at Svartifoss; glaciers with their icebergs flowing past on their way south into the ocean at Jökulsárlón; some friendly Icelandic horses; and a couple of beautifully situated quaint coastal towns, Höfn and Djúpivogur. Join me on another day of unique adventures with my amazing granddaughters, Isabella and Charlotte.

Steens Mountain: Wildhorse Lake & Other Adventures
มุมมอง 41421 วันที่ผ่านมา
Join me and my daughter, Maddie, on an Eastern Oregon desert trip, featuring my favorite place in Oregon, The Steens, and a hike from near its 9700’ peak down through vast fields of wildflowers to the pristine and beautiful Wildhorse Lake. See spectacular gorges on the flanks of Steens Mountain from our drive on the Loop Road, and a hidden gem to the east of Steens, The Pillars of Rome. Join us...
Iceland Ring Road Part 1

Iceland is a land of truly spectacular scenery: waterfalls, mountains, nature baths/hot springs, glaciers, and beautiful horses. Join me with my granddaughters, Isabella and Charlotte, as we start our journey on the Ring Road heading east. The loop is about 850 miles long, and with all of the side trips, we perhaps doubled that mileage on our trip. Part 1 is our first full day, including two mi...
Top Ten Oregon Road Trip Coffee Stops
มุมมอง 536หลายเดือนก่อน
My friends and family claim I know "a great little coffee joint" in every place I've ever visited. Well ... coffee is one of life's great simple pleasures and I've accumulated quite a few. We love to stop before and/or after hiking to enjoy a nice coffee and perhaps a treat. And, can't imagine a road trip without some great coffee stops. There's always something wonderful to discover, from the ...
Fort Rock: Buzz's Adventure in The Oregon Outback
มุมมอง 2.5Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Fort Rock, a magnificent geological feature and one of my favorite places in Oregon - I visit there at least once a year - is a volcanic crater, shaped sort of like a fort, half a mile across and 300 feet high. It’s fascinating for its geological qualities and its history, as well as the many birds that nest and hunt there. On my recent adventure there in June, I circumnavigated the outside of ...
Macduff Mountain, Willamette National Forest
มุมมอง 150หลายเดือนก่อน
Join us on a beautiful, pristine, almost 100-year-old trail in the Willamette National Forest. The Macduff Mountain Trail was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930’s. This under-the-radar hike is often steep, blossoming in late June with wildflowers, and rewarding at the rocky summit with almost 360-degree views of the Cascade Peaks and surrounding forest. The outing was or...
Saddle Rock Trail, Los Padres National Forest
มุมมอง 1462 หลายเดือนก่อน
A stone's throw from lovely Santa Barbara is the Saddle Rock Trail which we embarked on one fine April morning. It's a "lollipop" loop, often steep, and with bouldering required; it's challenging! The constant views of the surrounding mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the city of Santa Barbara, and up and down the coast are spectacular and made our hike well worth the effort. We made several trips ...
Strawberry Moon: A Sunset Hike in Eugene, Oregon

This is the story of two sunset ascents of Spencer Butte: June 20, celebrating the Summer Solstice, and June 21, to experience the strikingly beautiful Strawberry Moon. The Spencer Butte Trail, on the southern edge of Eugene, Oregon, is a scenic, fairly steep classic Oregon trail through old growth forest to a rocky peak with views in every direction. There were dozens, possibly a hundred, at t...

Join me on a special adventure in the Adirondacks, both a walk down memory lane and the beginning of a chapter for my daughter and her boyfriend. I hiked many of these northern New York mountain trails when I lived in Rochester in the 70’s & 80’s. There are forty-six peaks over 4000' in this range, and I hiked 27 of them before leaving for the west coast in 1991. It was good to be back on Big S...
Steens Mountain Road Trip: The Alvord Desert to Frenchglen

This day, the 3rd of our recent romp through Eastern Oregon, offers a change of pace: no hiking! Instead, we took a spectacular road trip including 64 miles through the Alvord Desert on the east side of The Steens and a slight detour to drive and frolic on the playa. It was on this very playa that Jessica Combs, “The Fastest Woman on 4 Wheels”, set the women’s world land speed record at 522.783...

Sounds like a great journey - love those cross-country trips
I'm guessing you were there in early May... we were just there in late May, there was a little less snow. It was fun watching the cowboys on the cattle roundup, moving the herd to higher elevations. We stayed at Alvord Hot Spring for 2 days, drove around to French Glen and up Steens Loop from the south end. As you know, the road is blocked off up near the top... road cave ins. We hiked up the road all the way to where we saw down to the Alvord Desert on the east side of Steens. Phenomenal trip... saw wild horse herds, antelope by the dozen, wild burros, mule deer, geese, a bear... we are DEFINITELY going back.
Thanks for watching. Yes, early May {observed the northern lights as you saw on the video}, then again in August - stayed in the French Glen Hotel - sweet place. Along with Leslie Gulch, my favorite place in Oregon and the USA.
@@BuzzinAlong: When you were in the Steens, I was in northern British Columbia on a long & winding road trip from Boston to Baja Sur. The weather was overcast and drizzly and cold... with a clear sky the northern lights would have been spectacular... alas..😮💨
Some places (like Leslie Gulch) are better off unknown to social media. Why turn it into a tourist destination?
You lost me when the blue toenails went into the lake.
did you say Buring Man sounds fun. the phone booth was a nice find
Yes, Burning Man - just got back. More than fun, life-changing. We will be posting a video in a week or two - I expect it will be one of our best efforts ... Thanks for watching.
New subscriber, love that part of our wonderful state thank you.
Thanks for subscribing, and yes, it is a wonderful state. Black Rock Desert & the surrounding area are spectacular, as is Rte. 95 between Reno & Las Vegas.
A few years ago, they closed down the nicest trail which featured many beautiful rock formations. I had been climbing it every day for about 3 years. When they reopened, I was dismayed to see the "improvements". They had taken rock saws and cut huge stair steps into the living rock. Defaced many of the majestic giant boulders. Dumped the scrap rock down the hill, covering more of the boulder field with tons of debris. It resembled now somewhere between a Flintstone's theme park and a rock quarry. This is conservation??? First do no harm. They obviously forgot that one. Unbelievably idiotic.
great trip i love this all green around ;)
Thanks for visiting
So good Dad and Cecile! What a trip. Thanks for being the best grandpa to my girls💞
We all had a great time, lots of laughs - I did not realize while filming that Charlotte was photo-bombing throughout .... what a riot!!
Delightful footage from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing such a marvelous trip!
Thx for tuning in Charles.
Beautiful views. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍6
Thank you as well, for tuning in; the beauty in Oregon never stops.
What an enjoyable video! Very nice footage and narrative of the gorgeous, rugged Everest area.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching; went one more time several years later with my daughter.
Love it! Can’t wait for the next one ❤
And where would the next one be? I am game.
Been there several times myself. Enjoyed your video.
Glad you enjoyed it & thanks for tuning in - we completed the ring road in a week, but of course could have easily spent a month ...
5:56 That is about 1 mile from my house! Speaking of ROAD COFFEE... Circle K installed new coffee machines in all their stores last year. The machines grind the beans and fresh-brew each cup, all for a $2 or so. I first ran into the system at the Corvallis exit off I-5. I was on my way to Lincoln City, where they have a Circle K on either end of town! The pump thermos system is DEAD (or at least it can be dead).
Hey, thanks for watching!
Buckin’ Bean had local gluten free food too!
Yes, an awesome place in every way. Thanks for watching!
I've tried some of these places and they are great! Looking forward to trying more coffee from this list!
Glad you liked it! Let's try them together
So pretty, I Love oregon...wish your videos were a little longer. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks so much. It means a lot to me that people love Oregon like I do and are enjoying what I share about this special place. More to come!
Stunningly beautiful. I’ll have to check it out now. Thanks much.
It really is beautiful and special. Keeps drawing me back. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more from Central and Eastern Oregon. I head over there whenever I can.
That’s a great way to start the summer season. Quite the crowd up there for that spectacle.
Yes, it was very special and worth the hike down after dark. Thanks for watching!
Some great views from up there. Someone moved a lot of rocks to make that heart.
Yes, the heart was a fun surprise and the views did not disappoint! Thanks for watching
Nice hike. Amazing to think that the trail is nearly 100 years old. Lot of folks walked that path.
Hi there, thanks for watching and for all your recent comments. I've been out adventuring and will have more fun and beautiful videos soon. Yes, this was a great hike and I'm grateful to the folks who built it long ago.
Great views! 😍
They are! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for visiting, glad you enjoyed the video, we sure enjoyed creating it.
Wow! What a spectacular hike and view!
Thanks for watching! It's in your backyard - you should hike it.
So pretty ❤
Glad you like it, thanks for tuning in.
Lovely. Did you know there's an even cooler waterfall just a few miles from Mendocino? Next time you're in the area check out Russian Gulch State Park.
I will do that; thanks for the info, and for tuning in.
Did this yesterday pretty muddy but worth it
I think it was a year ago when I was there, and yes - muddy, but exciting with the cliff edges along the way. Thanks for tuning in.
Beautiful. Love the song too
Thanks Andrew.
Fun hike and a beautiful location . Was there in the Summer of 2021. Took us about an hour to get to the top and about 20 to get down. Maybe go there again someday.
Thanks for watching, Burgerpilot. I flew choppers back in the day. Subscribed

Thank you too, for watching again. And glad you enjoyed it - we sure liked experiencing itl
Beautiful as usual. I remember that helicopter. Luckily you never had to use it for what it was intended for.
thx for watching Jamie
As always, great post Buzz! Lots of folks up on the Butte! What's the significance of Marietta College? Lana
My alma mater ... southeastern Ohio, loved the school & the town. thx for watching.
Breathtaking and Stunning ❤
Thank you so much!
Excellent video. My first trip in there was in the early sixties. There was not a road then you just followed the creek bed. It was about a 4hr trip one way in a 1963 GMC four wheel drive.
Oh wow! It's still sort of hard to get to - 25 miles of gravel. Even the paved roads in that corner of the world are not on the way to anywhere - love it ...
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍7
Thanks for continuing to watch ... a special adventure with my daughter & her boyfriend.
Thanks for the video! Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for watching.
Enjoyed your video. I live where the Owyhee river joins the Snake River. I have been over that road many times going to Three fingers and Leslie gulch.
Thanks for watching. Your part of the world is amazing, heading back next year for a white water trip...
