OREGON ROAD TRIP | Canyons And Rivers // EFRT S9 EP17 

I guess our secret is out! 😅 Glad you enjoyed Oregon! The John Day has incredible bass fishing throughout the summer. There are some great flyfishing holes!

Love all of your videos including Dan, Pete and Carol cooking! Only one small suggestion…..the sound quality inside the truck is hard to hear. Is this just me? I have tried on every device I own….phone, iPad and laptop.

My husband is from E.Oregon and it was a pleasure driving through those little towns with you I remember the first time going through Joseph, such beautiful country. Such a treat to see it all again.

Carol you should get one of those retro old time " weaved " " wicker creel baskets . And a cap that you put your favorite flys ( hooks ) on . Just to make it more fun , for you and to look and feel the part ? ( Not sure I'm saying that right ) ( for nostalgia ). And to help remember witch flys work best in your favorite spots . I haven't fly fished since I was a kid , so over 40 years but I loved it , mastering the cast is a lot of fun , it's all about putting it ( the fly ) wear you want it , exactly wear you want it , clear open streams or rivers are are fun and a good place to practice distance, but for me I had to go to small streams with lots of trees and other obstacles to learn to put it ( the fly ) wear I wanted it . Lost a lot of flys , even had to make super light weights because they are easier to make and cheaper and you don't care if you lose them . When you can make it ( the fly ) go to a log , in fast moving water , so it sinks right under part of the log , at that point you can do almost anything , and catch almost everything , especially if you see it , or know it went their . I gotta get out more , you two are a blessing for my life right now thank you .

Well let you know!

That first riverside camping spot was screaming F L Y F I S H I N G. So glad to see Carrol working that fly rod teaching herself. Great content, beautiful country.

I can't tell you how blessed you guys are. I can tell you that I'm blessed to be able to watch your adventures. It's like we're there with you. Thank you so much!

Such beautiful country! WOW! What fantastic scenery! Would love to visit one day! On my Bucket List!

Gorgeous campsite! Food looks amazing.

Sometimes life just presents magical moments. Gives us a glimpse of Heaven. Thank you for sharing your moments with all of us 😘

Outstanding video and such beautiful views. God bless you and your family as you continue your adventures through Gods amazing creation.

Good Morning! When you were at the camp site right next to the river/crick that is one of my favorite things to do. Just listening the water trickling over the rocks and looking at all of God’s nature. So Thank You!!

Thank you for playing that beautiful Christian song.

Awesome video as always EFRT. This was such an epic adventure and some truly incredible scenery. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.

Appreciate you guys and what you do. Just happened to be at the expo as well last weekend. Love this part if the Great Northwest.

We’ll be in Cody, WY the week ending 7/20. My 80 year old father-in-law has been fly fishing for 60 years and would love to teach you! C’mon down. ❤

I love that part of Oregon. I’m so glad you decided to check it out. It was great meeting you both at the expo. Thank you for being so open and kind.

Like that you draw on a map where you are and where you are going. Helps us better understand your travels

Love you guys come to Oregon! Born and raised in southern Oregon and it is Beautiful

Love to watch your videos. You’ve done an amazing job over the years . Inspiring to say the least. I rarely comment on your videos due to mostly watching on our TV and just learned how to use my phone to comment on videos I’m watching on TV. Thank you for sharing you and your family’s life’s as much as you have.

Love this video! Even as an Oregonian i haven't been to many of the background areas of our state, so loved to get a glimpse through your eyes! Loved" Lo, how a rose ere blooming".

We actually just moved from the coast to central Oregon. We love it out here. The fly fishing is amazing also

Thank you for coming to pnw . It was like to meet you two in person we have been following your channel since day one of your journey thank you very much. Don and Donna from north idaho

I have one word for you guys, it “precious “. Thank you for sharing those adventures!

"A River Runs Through It" was one of my favorite movies and one of the reason my wife and explored portions of Montana. We still choose to live in Washington State for its beauty but we just got back from visiting Kootenai Falls in Montana. Love the state. Heading to McCall Idaho in October for the Fall Colors which is just down the road from Joseph, Idaho. Been to Baker City on my way to visit one of our granddaughters who lives in Emmett, Idaho. Excellent video!!

Beautiful country in the video! Loved it!❤

A few years back we camped at Wallowa Lake . Very nice area and stopped in the town of Joseph. Cool little town. Love your videos. Safe travels!

I spied the EFRT Rossmonster at the Overland Expo PNW today. Safe travels.

I don't know about anyone else, but I would have liked to see the inside of the "Snake Pit".

Looks like a fantastic area to explore. Thanks for sharing!

Just love watching so relaxing wow what a view another great video!!!!!

My friends, I have watched your family grow up and enjoy years of travel life. I wish I had done the same but I chose to operate a tree service for 30 years. On that note, please use safety glasses when cutting with your chain saw. It could save your vision someday. Also, tighten that chain as when it’s too loose it poses a risk of jumping off the bar. That could lead to backlash from the chain and a seriously cut body part. Please be careful and enjoy the outdoors.

Enjoy your video so much thank you for sharing

So glad you got to explore this part of Oregon which I call home now. My friend is a pastor in Joseph. You could spend months in almost any season exploring this region and still want for more. Thanks for sharing your journey. Long time viewer. Peace ☮️

Ahhhh, love when you're back in the PNW highlighting the beautiful scenery!

I absolutely love the little way you use the map. You guys did that up north also and i really like it. It helps with perspective. Great work.

Enjoyed your video of MT, ID, WA, OR. Kicking ourselves as we didn't know you were at expo -: we're just down the road in Sunriver. We were traveling and got home last night, so didn't make it to expo today, but would have enjoyed visiting! And totally agree on the beauty of the Palouse in eastern WA, and all of that area this time of year with the green hills. Hope you got to see the bright yellow canola fields, too! We drove from Coeur d'Alene to Missoula last week, and further north on the return. Insanely beautiful. Hope expo was a success.

Loved every minute of this video. One of your best to date. Love the empty nest edition.

Love the music.

Wow, wild Leghorn hens! Did you see anywhere close by that they where from. Wild critters would make short work of them. You guys get to see it all. Have fun and stay well.

Beautiful and appropriate music! Love watching your adventures! xo

Love the map route inserts! Thank you for bringing us along 🤗🙏🇨🇦🇺🇸💐

You are likely already here in Oregon .. Rogue River (town) area is two hit 1-08 next week.. so fires are possible .. keep clean air.. we are here on the southern oregon coast area ..

What a beautiful state. Loved the fly fishing shots Carol and Pete, that breakfast looked so yummy. Thanks for sharing. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼ve

Hey guys, love your channel! Always uplifting with beautiful scenery! You just traveled through our area, Lewiston/Clarkston! So fun seeing you come down 95 and see the LC Valley spread out and the Snake and Clearwater rivers! Would love to have seen you and had a quick chat! 😊 If you come back this way, you'd certainly have a moochdock place to park up with water and electric! I'll make you a simple meal! 😅😅 Love your family, thanks for sharing! Marilyn and Garry C.

Thank you for showing these historc lands I would love to see them one day in person ❤❤❤ loving this adventure with you two❤

Epic! ❤❤

❤❤❤❤ yup i'm doing this on my way east thanks for all you share a lover of stillness an beauty

Gorgeous country side!! Thanks for taking us along.

It's always fun to see you back on the road again. Safe travels guys from Athens Greece!!!

I saw you on Sean's The Story Till Now, with a panel of maybe 10 speaking of youtube, content building, vehicles & travel - I believe in Bend OR. You are much more articulate & experienced than the bulk of that group. The setting, tone, solace, stories & beauty you share on your videos is a reminder you (both) are in a different 'reality' & world than most (not all) of the others. Keep it up, best to your collective family & safe travel.

You two are beautiful. Living best life.

When I was a kid in the early 80's my uncle had a ranch in Enterprise. We spent some time in Joseph and swimming in Wallowa Lake. I would love to go back and spend a few days.

Thanks for sharing! Beautiful sites!

Love you opening remarks on your videos.

I was born & raised in Oregon, so I especially enjoyed this episode ❤ thanks for sharing 😊

Joseph is an absolutely gorgeous area with incredible history.And art colony I think. Beautiful area and the snake river through health canyon is amazing. I'll love seeing it through your eyes cause I haven't driven through it yet.

This Caribbean gal loves this!!! Thank you for sharing 😍.

We spent 5 years in the Spokane cda area. Then 3 in Moscow and Pullman. Then 6 in lewiston, clarkston, asotin area. 1 year in Missoula and now the last 3 in Sandy, OR and every spot you visited we’ve been many times. Great seeing our many homes again in this 1 video.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Season 9 and I just came upon your channel someone mention in a comment on VanLife Plus’s channel. I have missed a lot obviously on your families adventures and growth, so I have some catching up to do. Your story telling and camera work are awesome. Looking forward to seeing what’s coming and will be busy looking back to get to know you more. Peace and Calm. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦

Ahhh, wow, I can understand sitting by the river and just watching the flow!

Looks like you guys are having a great time. Carolyn and I always have our morning coffees with our Sunday epic family road trip publication 🙏

Thanks ❤🌅🏔️🔥

Great video!

Good morning .

Love watching your travels, daily life. Thank you 😊

Beautiful area. So relaxing and thanks for sharing!

In my wife's and my 43 years of RVing experience, we've found whenever refilling water from any source, you should thoroughly soak the source hydrant and all around area with sprayed rubbing alcohol and let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes before connecting up to a hose equipped with a sediment, charcoal and silver enfused ceramic filters. Always treat every water source as though it is highly dirty, tastes terrible and is infested with every known "hot trots" bug known to man? More time "out there" in the open than "in there" in an emergency room or longterm recovery medical facility?

Good afternoon from Miami love your content for many years is my Sunday National Geographic channel! I wonder you have extra fuel onboard just in case. Have a great week and thanks for sharing your channel.

Cour de lane , Idaho. I have been to with my Uncle David and Aunt Isabell to see my grandmother in Seattle, Washington . I was her surprise she didn't know I was coming . A lot has changed. I can't wait to make our adventure trip. You both have inspired me. Thank you

Was so nice to meet you both again at Expo PNW this weekend! Really quite special to watch you discover some of the lesser known parts of Oregon that we have come to love. Truly breathtaking in the Wallows and John Day region. Not sure where your trip will take you next but you should totally checkout the Fort Rock and Christmas Valley areas south east of Bend when you have a chance. If you want specific tips we’d love to help! Cheers - Dylan & Tessa

6/30/24 - Good Sunday morning from Charleston.SC-- WOW !! The video was fabulous ! Beautiful scenery ! One of my favorite videos of all time!

That final drone shot-Wow!

What a outstanding location to camp speech less to describe the beautiful nature very perfect food to eat have a great time ❤😊. Missing Lando very much.

Hello from Azerbaijan :)

One of my good friends made the trip down to the Oregon overland expo. Red hummer with RTT

Love your family and adventures. You are such an inspiration. ❤

Such a wonderful video to watch...loved the beautiful scenery and the peaceful and quiet feel.

Enjoy your videos with tours. Nature is so beautiful. Thank you for what you do.😇

Washington & Oregon are very beautiful watching tho your eyes. Great trip. Take care you two Carol looks very tired. Prob all wedding plans??

We must go in that route! Joseph (JK) and me! Kim(berly)! Next time for sure! Beautiful!!

Love your videos, I have a suggestion to make; if you tell us how beautiful the canyon or the mountains are, I suggest you focus the camera on it instead on you. Thank you for sharing this beautiful adventure you are experiencing.

My daughter lives out near Missoula and tells me about all the beauty there. It's nice to see more from your point of view as well. Thank you for sharing. I'm on the east coast deep in the mountains of Pa

What a wonderful road trip! Great adventure!

John day is awesome. I love it there. I also stumbled on it on my way home from my sons house in Washington

Awesome adventure, thanks for the breathtaking views!

Did you see Wallowa Lake at Joseph? I didn't see it in your video. We live here in Eastern Oregon. You captured it well. Kimberly, OR is one of my favorites. Too bad so much of what you just drove through is on fire now. It's good you saw it before.

I miss Lando…Sure u do too!

Nothing better than Montana

So beautiful! Loved it.

31:01 What a beautiful sight to see let alone experience Gods place called earth. Thank you for sharing much love ❤️

Beautiful videos and heavenly scenery! Scared , better grab the bear spray, cluck, cluck, cluck. That was hilarious! Who would have thought chickens?😆❤ The Rossmonster seems like the perfect home for yalls comfort and travels.

Welcome to my neck of the woods. There is a lot more to see than what you saw. It is beautiful near Joseph but that is a small part of the beauty. I would love to show you all how to fly fish. Come back and I will spend some time getting you set.

Hear in the UK i am following you on a map. Found Idaho and snake river. . Though my map will not be as good as yours. Found Joseph. You talk about a days drive . In one day i can get from on end of the UK to the other I expect you can use river water for most things.

Very good stuff exclamation point yes, we want more fishing that could bring it to another level on your empty nest Edition. Pulling for Carol to nail one soon🐠

Happy Canada day richmond Hill Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 saints 🇨🇦

Beautiful and Stunning scenery Guys. Thank You for Another Epic Episode. Wendy FNQ Australia 🇦🇺

Grand Rising Epic Family! Safe journey!

Really glad to see you guys in my neck of the woods. But I have to tell you…if you guys come out this way again, check out Hwy 95in Idaho along the Idaho/Oregon border, and view Hells Canyon from the Idaho side. It’s such a beautiful drive and unknown part of Idaho. Safe travels.

Every camper needs to stop and get a pizza in John Day.
