I grew up near the Oregon Trail and the history was covered. there are still a lot of ruts and areas where the travelers moved through the Blue Mountains. There are still some wonderful areas east and west of La Grande, OR.
Great project. We watched part of this in my history class learning about the Oregon trail! Really happy our teacher found this! Thank you for sharing!
I flew the trail from IL. to the Rockies and was one of the best flights I ever had. Once in the more arid part there is no problem visually following the trail. Never flew more than an hour a day making all the interesting stops along the way. Nice vid, Lee
Lee: Thanks for watching my video. And I think I go on adventures!!!! Wow, nothing like yours. Must have been more than interesting. The history of the trail fascinates me, as it does you. Hope you keep watching my work and please subscribe.....Ted
There's a pioneer grave in the Oregon desert near Bend. I can tell you where to find it. It's a mile or two from any paved road, but a flat hike. I'd love to see ruts running to/away from it, if it exists. There are also stage coach routes near Bend, with landmarks of camp sites and such. You could come visit and I'll show you around. I'd love to share it with everyone.
Thanks so much for viewing my video and the information provided about grave sites. FYI there is a grave site overlooking the Owyhee river where Pocahontas son Charbonneau is buried. Quite a story. Educated in Europe and quite a man, but wanted to be buried in the Oregon desert overlooking the river. I want to go there some time in spring. Ted
I’m glad u watched the video. That was actually filmed in the Idaho portion of the trail near Boise, but yes, over half of Oregon, the eastern part is more arid,
When I was 9/10 at primary school here in Scotland, we were taught about the pioneer trails crossing America , we were fascinated by them. I remember all these years ago going to our library to find out more. I’m old now but the whole time fascinates me. Thank you 👍😊
I've been searching for drone footage of the Oregon Trail, beginning to end. This is the best I've come across so far. For the whole trail, footage would probably have to be sped up, especially through the parts where there are modern roads and ruts are no longer present. But that would be interesting too, most people driving on those roads have no idea the Trail was there.
@@tedbohlman2953 I love the Oregon Trail. Never knew about the ruts until I was in my 40's. I was hooked. Our schools never spoke of these trails or ruts. Watching the videos makes it so real, almost ethereal. ❤️
Great video. I'm in Nampa and would like to find more remnants of the trail. Rinker Buck wrote a book about his journey on the trail in a covered wagon in about 2014. I'm fascinated by the pioneer history.
I’m with u, pioneer history is fascinating. I’m trying to fly and publish content on local history. Check out the one on the diversion dam. Ted. And thanx for ur comment
It’s a shame they allowed to ride their vehicles on it,,that means it’s not no longer original, in Neb. your not even allowed to walk on it! What a shame!
SO INTERESTING BUT WHAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT IS WHEN THESE POOR SETTLERS ARRIVED WITH NO FOOD LEFT OR MONEY. HOW DID THEY SURVIVE WHEN THEY GOT TO OREGON??
That's and excellent question. They hunted birds, deer and elk in addition to pronghorns. There also were some supply stations along the way. They took abundant flour and staples for the journey also. Thanks for your comment and viewing my channel. Ted Bohlman
They were to haul enough supplies to get them over the " hump" when they first arrived in the West & until they could get themselves situated. I think most did initially start out this way but, anything did & usually could happen. Some sold personal items, bartered, begged, borrowed & went hungry on arrivval.
@@emilyslittlebooknook-8043 I just saw it, the Oregon trail. No problem if u give me credit for the video. Good luck, Ted. Ps, my book, the sixth angel is available on Amazon and audible.

Yeah I saw some stuff from it when visiting Camp Baldwin, near Dufur
Great project. We watched part of this in my history class learning about the Oregon trail! Really happy our teacher found this! Thank you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it!!! Thanx for contacting me!
Thx, lovely landscapes! Would love to have seen scenes tied to a map and routing!
I wish I was in a position to be able to record all the historic trails, end to end with drone footage.
Good on you for sharing this.
When Im able, I hope to find other Oregon Trail Sites and bring them to my channel. Ted
A bird's-eye view to exquisite beauty by means of a drone. Gorgeous! I want to watch more of this before I make more comments but so far it's amazing.
Who will be the first to do a drone's eye view of the entire oregon trail? That would be something

I have always, always wanted to see this! I didn't know that section of the trail even existed!
Amazing SIR!!!
Godbless ~
I would LOVE to see more vids like this!
Thanks for sharing! I cover pioneer and cemetery history in Oregon mainly on my channel so appreciate the birds eye view of the trail you provided.

I have never been to Oregon in my 67 years. I never knew Oregon had desert landscape. Always thought it was green and lush.
I’m glad u watched the video. That was actually filmed in the Idaho portion of the trail near Boise, but yes, over half of Oregon, the eastern part is more arid,
I love the content. It is astonishing to think about what they went through. It is amazing. Thank you for posting!
I showed my 93 year old mother this. She said, "Very pretty!"

Laura…..thank you for your comment. So glad you enjoyed the video. Another one coming shortly. Regards, Ted
You had good teachers. I'm old too at 66, never learned this in USA in high school.
Those people had grit. It is a fascinating heritage/ story.
The Santa fe trail is probably harder to trace.
Loved it but hard to tell what was the trail and what are other trails and modern trails. BUT, still loved the video and the history! Thank you.
Thanx Norman. Good point. I need to revisit some sites around here and better define the trails. Trd
Pretty hard to believe that there's any teachers out there that wanted to teach history anymore
Love It👍

You are so right. The trail is so chopped up by modern roads. Glad you enjoyed it. Another one in process. Ted

I would think that the pioneers would have reached this part of the trail by mid to late August on their journey. Great job Ted.
You r right. Leave Independence Mo. in April, arrive idaho by Sep. 2000 miles journey when completed. Thanx for watching!
@@tedbohlman2953 I would like to see the trail route from Ontario to Baker City. The museum there is fantastic. Thanks again Ted.
That was great! I have been watching UA-cam videos about the trail and your's came up! I also fly drones in New York State.
Interesting to see, Thank you for sharing this. My ancestors came on that very trail back in early 1843.
Thank you.. it’s such history. I hope to do a sequel when the snow flies. Stay tuned. I hope u subscribed. LOL
Wow! The countryside is so vast and I love learning about the Oregon trail!
Thank you for this history Ted. It is really amazing to see what the pioneers went through to reach the Oregon territory. Well done!
Thanx Marcus. What a BLAST to fly that historic trail! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!!!!
Cool footage in da club.
Thanx Neil. But what’s da club?
Amazing views
They had to be some really tuff people
Doing away with the background music would have made the video better to watch. Thanks for the video.

nice video thank newfoundland canada
Thanks for that Ted.It helps really sense what those families went through to fulfill there dreams
Awsome I'm out of mt home.
Just imagine if they had build a Paved Roads like Romans
Can I use some of the footage without sound for a book trailer?
Tell me a little about the book. Ted
@@tedbohlman2953 It's a historical fiction novel about two siblings who move out wast during the Gold rush to start over.
@@emilyslittlebooknook-8043 cool and what video do u want to use?
@@tedbohlman2953 just clips from this video of the landscape

Music does not fit the History!
Crossed many areas of the Trail in our travels. And have used Google Earth to retrace some areas. This is cooler.
Thanx Phil for viewing and your comment, I too am fascinated by the Oregon trail story. I hope to do more drone videos on it…..Ted
