    I'm at a loss for words.
    These spots are among the most beautiful places I've ever seen and best of all, no crowds! Nice to swim in too. Take care of these precious treasures so everyone can enjoy them.

    Yes, thank you. Some people don't know the value of nature and don't take care of it. That's why I don't post my locations no more and I'm careful to whom I tell the locations.

    I am in awe of the beauty to be found in Oregon.You've done a wonderful job finding and highlighting all these waterfalls and swimming holes. The state travel board should have you on their payroll. I watched the info video of your daily cost breakdown of this trip. Totally something I and the hubby could do. We've set sights on an Oregon adventure. Plus I've already tucked an envelope in my sock drawer titled O-re-gone and stashed the 1st $20 towards that goal. Great job motivating a viewer to "get out there and find your adventure!"
    *Now figure out where I can cut back on spending and stuff that envelope!

    I too hate graffiti on boulders near the waterfalls! People who do that certainly have no respect for the beauty of Mother Nature. By the way, I love your video about Oregon's Waterfalls and swimming pools. Makes me want to go there on vacation.

    Brice creek area is nice, Sharp's creek is right near by with a great swimming hole, looks like a astroid crater. I'd love to see a diver go to the bottom. I've gold hunted there and found some good flakes. Plus there is further up bohemia mountain mine sites. I also love going to quartzville, there is such hidden back roads to all sorts of beautiful area's that hardly anyone goes to. Quartzville is near the santiam.

      @@JesseStLouis hey man, sorry if my comment appeared harsh, but I am getting so annoyed at seeing such great video ruined by overdubbed music. It's all too common. Just take it from an Oregon outdoors person, leave the natural sounds there. The music sucks, it's distracting, it's intrusive, and it detracts from the video. Keep making videos. You captured some very rarely traveled places.

    I love your rant on taking care of nature, which I agree. How about you do your part and not post videos about all the hidden spots leaving them available to be exploited! Keep this shit off the internet... just saying... your looking for views, you're also responsible for bringing traction to these spots that will eventually be ruined.

    • @JesseStLouis
      @JesseStLouis  3 роки тому +3

      The public has a right to use public land. It's not just for the cool kids. I'm trying to inspire and educate people, not just looking for views. The best way to teach people about nature is to get them out in it, show them the beauty and why we need to protect it. Being secretive and selfish doesn't help anything.
