Owyhee river Leslie Gulch and the High desert, overlanding full-time in my jeep Cherokee XJ 

I fly fish the Owyhee river in Oregon. I couldn’t catch a damn fish. Then I went over to Leslie Gulch, which is beautiful, but way, way too many people, so I ended up in the high desert of Oregon where it was very, very hot

[@MajorWeakness]

Stunning scenery!

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Thanks major there is a lot of beautiful scenery around here..

[@Wesley-uo3rn]

So peaceful looking

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

It was peaceful, boring, and hot, but it was beautiful

[@barbarainfante6094]

Nice video - super pretty gulch

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Thanks, Barb. 😁

[@Polarcutter]

Awesome 👌🏼

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Thanks I’m having fun in Oregon

[@trucking325]

How's the transmission holding up?

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

So far the transmission has been doing good, thanks for asking. I have been over quite a few big passes and no issues yet except I had to add some transmission fluid to it.

[@OffTheClockNow]

You could be making money somehow in your channel from views, plus people buying you brews? I don't know how, but many people do.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Lol there is no money to be made on TH-cam if you have a small channel like me. I can’t buy a cheap six pack of beer from the money I make from any of my TH-cam videos. The money I make from buy me a beer just barely pays for some beers I buy.

[@nonewherelistens1906]

I have to say your transmission seems to be holding up. Head to the Eagle Cap Wilderness, Wallowa River, Troy, Oregon area. may be able to escape the heat and tag a few nice trout.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

So far the transmission is holding up. I just had to add some transmission fluid so must have a small leak somewhere. I will head up to Eagle wilderness area when I’m ready to go back into Idaho. There is a ton of rivers here in Central Oregon I still want to flyfish.

[@jimgollach6202]

It's hot everywhere John, I hate it, stay cool and safe,have fun. Enjoyed watching. 👍

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Yes, it is crazy hot here. I will try to be safe, but sometimes that is no fun. Lol

[@traveladventure7745]

Greetings. Beautiful adventure in High desert. Enjoy. Have a great weekend.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

The high Desert is pretty interesting and different and hot as hell. Nothing like the Arizona desert.

[@TerraExplorations]

Welcome to Oregon! hang around there is a whole lot to see here. Yes, ya gotta check out the Eagle Cap Wilderness.👍🏼👍🏼

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

I definitely will be checking out the Eagle cap wilderness area. I’m near sisters now and there’s a lot of rivers around I have to explore and fish.

[@timjones8184]

Dislike campgrounds myself. Dispersed camping 40 yrs. now. Haven't looked back. Smallmouth bass on a fly rod, man what fun. It's like fighting acrobatic bulldogs.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

I know in over two years I haven’t paid for a place to camp except on the Ocean. Just a 10 inch smallmouth bass on my 4 wt rod is a lot of fun.

[@ericchristensen3019]

Can't wait to see where you end up next. You have a knack for finding some cool spots. FT George is most under-rated brewery in Oregon.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

I don’t know where I’m going next lol there are a ton of rivers here in Central Oregon that I still want to fly fish.

[@glennherbst5470]

Finally got out camping and fishing this week. Terrible rain and wind storms but managed to trick a few trout to eat my offerings. Was great to be out for just a few days of what you are doing full time.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Hey Glenn, I’m glad you got out and did some fishing. The rain and wind is just part of the adventure.

[@cargotrailerkenny]

Nice vid John, better luck fishing next time.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Hey Kenny, thanks. I will be catching more fish. 🤞

[@stevezeppieri]

Awesome John. Cheers buddy. Can’t wait to see those bass!

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Thanks, Steve all the bass were pretty small, but they were a lot of fun to catch.

[@paulhoffman5054]

Looks hot where you are. I have an 81 year old buddy who lives near baker city. He's owned a 600 acre ranch in the mountains for 40 years. He says he still hasn't seen every inch of the property. Very rugged countryside.

Thanks for uploading another videoJohn.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

I’m just happy you are enjoying the videos

[@knightrc]

@@overthehillandoverthemount2925 They're great. I really enjoy them. I'm pulling the retirement trigger this year and hoping to travel around in my jeep.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

@@knightrc awesome. Now you have to make good use of your retirement and just get in the Jeep and go and have fun.
