Maw-pin. Nice to see coverage of this area in Oregon. I have been enjoying it since the mid 70's and rafting it until the permit system was instituted. Right now sitting in my recliner far way, I can smell the grass, hot rocks and sage. Lovely smell that invokes many memories . Nice video production.
That would be the 50's in my case, but it was downright urban compared to our adventures in SE Oregon. Little did we know that if Dad's car broke down our chances of survival we're not good.
This was lovely, thank you. I think we may have the same or similar van. I recently got a Pleasure-way Ontour 2.0 and can't wait to explore in it. Just got it de-winterized.
Thanks for the nice comment. Yes, we have the same camper van. I got my Ontour 2.0 in 2022 and have really enjoyed traveling in it. I am sure you will enjoy your van.
Sounds like a hard life. Retired also and avid camper as well, and owner of a Winnebago View. We love that area and are hoping to get back there. Will look over more of your videos for ideas. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment. You are probably aware of these places, but camping along the John Day River at Cottonwood Canyon State Park or further upstream at the BLM sites like Muleshoe offer some of the same kind central Oregon scenery.
I've liked and subscribed your page. Really relaxing. Your video reminds me of those episodes of the guy that went to Alaska and lived there all by himself. I could watch those over and over again.
Thank you for sharing your adventures. As a solo female living in Idaho, I have just started exploring Oregon. I appreciate seeing the places you've visited so I can add these to my list of stops. If you go to Washington state please share your adventures there. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the nice comments. I'm glad you have found my videos interesting. Lots of great places to visit in Idaho. I hope to spend more time in Washington and Idaho in the summers ahead.
Great video. You should have pulled into white river falls and shown some of that too. It wasn't very far before Sherars falls. I'm sure people would have loved to have seen that as well. If you have not been there, you should go back and check it out. If you are still in that area. I've rafted the Deschutes, but have great respect/fear of Sherars falls. That is where the natives in that area fish. There have been many people die in that part of the river: Mainly native fisherman. Your camping spot looked cozy. Thanks for sharing with us..
Thanks for the nice comments and mentioning White River Falls. Actually, I have been to White River Falls before and planned to film the falls on this trip. But I left that for the end of my visit to the area and it started raining that morning. So I didn't get that video. I agree that White River Falls is well worth visiting and filming.
I'm 100 miles from the sleepy town of Maupin. Moving here from west Michigan in 1987, I knew I had stumbled onto a real gem. These days I have to remind myself that it's a special place that few fly-fishermen in the world get to enjoy. BTW? It's *_SHEARS_* falls.
@@northwestcampervantravels7248 Doing a little research on the falls and bridge this morning, I see that your pronunciation is probably accurate, and I apologize if I was wrong. It's spelled _'Sherars'._ (although all the local people I know pronounce it Shears). I knew it was named after some person, but didn't know any background. Here it is..... _'Sherar's Hotel & Toll Bridge'_ *In 1860 settler John Y. Todd built a bridge at the site, but it had to be rebuilt in 1862 after being washed away. The bridge subsequently changed hands several times before Joseph Sherar purchased it in 1871 for $7,040. He later spent another $75,000 on road improvements to the bridge. Much of this work was performed by local Indian laborers. Over the next several decades, Sherar and his wife, Jane, operated a successful stagecoach station at the site. This included a hotel, a livery, and shops. During the 1860s and 1870s, Sherar’s Falls was an important stop on the toll road leading to the mining fields of Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon.* There's a cool 1910 photo online showing everything. (How cool is the internet? ... I thought I'd seen all the old pictures of this area.)
Stumbled upon your channel, enjoy the content. I’ve been to many of these places as I live here in southwest Washington. Some great fly fishing down here on the dechutes.
An interesting part of history is that the east side of Deschutes from the Dalles to Bend is/was also a Railroad right of way. The two R.R. companies raced to be first to Bend. If I remember right, the West won. If you drive all the way south you may see a mobile home. In 1980s, I worked for a dealer who delivered a double wide south through the two tunnels (just barely fitting in height). Spent two days at roads end doing set up of home. Many rafters went by in the river. I could hear lots of yelling, so I walked over to the bank and was surprised to see rafts. This was around 1985. One of the job locations never forgotten.
Yes, Deschutes Railroad Wars were a battle between competing railroad companies on opposite sides of the river. Initially, the east side actually was the first to complete a railroad line down the Deschutes Canyon. But in the long haul, the west side prevailed and the BNSF line is on the west side of the canyon for most of the route. Thanks for sharing your memories of working on a mobile home in the area in the 1980s and seeing people rafting on the river.
I rafted this river many times, I hope you get the chance to do that. Might want to avoid the hot days of summer, you will need to wait in line just to get your feet wet.
Thanks for the comment. I have been to this and other areas on the Deschutes later in the spring and early summer. Yes, the days get much hotter and there are a lot more people.
Very nice, one of my favorite rivers. No offense but pronunciation of some locations (The Dalles, Sherars Falls, Maupin) was different than my local experience. Thanks for the video.
You must mean 'locked gate'. It's a rough road that has chewed up more of my tires then I care to to recall. They're working on paving it, and pave a mile or two more every year. Today there's still about 6 to 7 miles unpaved. And in case you decide to give it a try? There's no cell phone coverage done there, so bring an extra tire or two!
Great video but, Lol when you say Maupin...think of how you wash a floor. You'd be MOPPIN' it. Not Maypen it. I've rafted the Deschutes 6 times out of Maupin. You should come out mid August to see what the area is really like peak season...there's still camp sights available. But it's no ghost town like in March.
Great video with excellent footage and informative narrative, just subscribed to your channel. Btw, that camping chair looks very comfy, do u have a model or a link by chance. Thank u.
Thanks for the subscription and the nice comments. The chair is the Big Bubba Chair by TravelChair. travelchair.com/product/big-bubba-mode-789frv/ It is pricey. I got a good deal buying a close-out on Ebay. There is also a copy of the chair which is less expensive.
I have gone rafting on this river a few times, it was so much fun. What a great video and voice! And what kind of road is the one you're biking on? I don't see any cars or traffic signs or lines there, which is awesome.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the positive feedback. One advantage of going on a weekday in the early spring is that there are aren't a lot of people around.
Nice video, but "To get to the Deschutes River Byway, you traveled south from the Columbia River Gorge and "the gals", Oregon"? (1:15) Try again. Additionally, Maupin is pronounced correctly at first and incorrectly when you get to town.
Dad got an interest in rafting around 1975. He got an old yellow 6?-man raft and made a oaring frame for it. I don't thing that raft had any cross-tubes--it was like riding a gummy-worm. First trip, not long after putting in dad flipped the raft at Boxcar rapids. Sis came up under the raft and we didn't see her pop out for minute. I remember for years after dad saying 'I thought I'd killed you kids.' We did a couple rafting trips there every Summer for the next 10+ years. One trip had my step-dad's old wetsuit and weight belt and picked crayfish, fishing lures and lead sinkers. I think I was in the water for 90 minutes and got 20lbs of lead and a couple pounds of crawfish but I was shivering for about 2 hours afterwords--the treasure hunt...and I didn't realize how cold I'd got. Great memories! Great video, thanks for posting this.
The Oasis BLM campground is $14 per night (half off with the interagency America the Beautiful pass). There are no reservations, it is first come, first served.
The name is pronounced "Moppin". If one continues downstream (north), the road gets REALLY rough, since it only gets graded smooth once a year, just prior to the summer rafting season.
Thanks for the info on pronouncing Maupin. I have visited the Deschutes River Byway downstream from Sherar's Falls. There are a number of campgrounds in that area and I have camped at Jones Canyon. The downstream part of the Deschutes Canyon is, of course, also very beautiful. As you point out, most of the road in that area is gravel and rough. On this trip I stayed on the paved part of the Deschutes River Byway.
Rafted from Peltton damn to shear falls pre 96 must pull out sandy beach now, porter falls countiied onto the columbia river , this rd from maupin only gies half way . Its 125 mile by rd to pull out at columbia. Its a great float ftom falls by monthly shares rvr w motor boats . Chk permits 🎉
I agree that such areas can be ruined by crowds when publicly advertised!! I remember a 100% private Coho fishing spot, where I absolutely never saw anyone else. But someone who hadn't ever fished it, but found out about it by accident, did a fishing piece for the Oregonian newspaper!! My private and serene Coho spot went to heck!! UA-cam has created a method of gaining income for those who want to travel and have their expenses of travel paid for. And that's going to be the end of adventure for the rest of the public!! Please let people discover their own Unspoiled recreational spots PLEASE 🥺
I think it is a mistake to try to suppress information about our public lands. It is important for everyone to understand what a wonderful treasure we have in the beautiful public lands in our country. If most people do not care about public lands, there is nothing to prevent politicians from selling the land to private developers and we would all lose access. I would also note that the lower Deschutes River Byway is not a secrete, hidden area. It is a popular tourist area which draws many people to enjoy rafting, fishing and viewing the scenery. The BLM campgrounds along the river are clearly shown on Google maps. The town of Maupin has a number of businesses such as fishing tackle shops, rafting guides and restaurants that serve and depend on visitors to the area. There are lots of wonderful, relatively unknown places on public lands. Usually they are many miles down a difficult hiking trail or rough road requiring high clearance vehicles. The difficulty in getting to these spots helps keep them less used. If you want to go to unknown, hidden spots, do the work to get to those spots. Don't try to block people from learning about public lands.

Probably not an issue in today's economy, not many can afford to drive anywhere these days. The ones that can afford it are probably staying in swank hotels.
Never use drones , phones , POV cams , or Go Pros to make you Tube videos. .You can't see much with those. Physically walk thru a location with a hand held wide screen movie camera and talk while you are filming., like a news reporter. .Drones are for surveillance of large private property's or police searches only.
I sure can't agree with you on this. Drones show the countryside so much better than a handheld any type of camera . Of course that's just my opinion. But where did you come up with surveillance or police search are the only use for drones? And this was a beautiful trip up the river.
Never use cameras to document your trips. Instead, take notebooks and pads, and lavishly illustrate your journey with pen, pencil and watercolors. Also, all narration should be in Mandarin Chinese only, never English. Cameras are for bank ATMs only.
Please stop pointing out these pristine places. They will now be inundated with “campers” overrruning the place and trashing it by their very presence and footsteps. Stop. Please
You're voice is so soothing. I love these backgrounds away from noisy cars and roads. This video is really relaxing. Thank you!
Thanks for nice comments. Appreciated.

Hot sunny days, cold water.
You made me feel like I was there adventuring. Thank you so much for sharing the tremendous scenery!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Grew up in central Oregon in the '70s and all these places bring back a lot of memories my dad used to like to fish out of Maupin
I'm glad that the video brings back memories of your time in central Oregon.
This was lovely, thank you. I think we may have the same or similar van. I recently got a Pleasure-way Ontour 2.0 and can't wait to explore in it. Just got it de-winterized.

I’ve been on that river in a raft 4 times. The last time I went the raft flipped on box car.
Glad I had a dry bag.
Thank you for posting.
Thanks for the comment. I expect that it is really a great adventure to go through the boxcar rapids in a raft.
@@northwestcampervantravels7248 it was most fun staying in the raft than in the water.

Great drone shots!
Thanks a lot!
I live in bend Oregon. Have been through. Maupin a few times. Gorgeous town!!!! Awesome video!!!
Thanks for the positive feedback.
Glad to see this video. My son and I are looking to go camping in eastern Oregon next week.
That's great, enjoy your trip.
Very nice video with some great drone shots! Perfect campsite!! Keep 'em coming! :)
Hi Ralph. Thanks for watching and the nice comments.
As a child my father would take us hunting in eastern oregon. As a adult I have learned to appreciate its beauty. ❤
Thanks for the comment. It certainly is a place to enjoy the natural beauty.
BLM fishing in this river? Aren't they supposed to be protesting in the streets of LA against police brutality? (Black Lives Matter). 😅😅😂😂

Oak Springs nearly killed me a few years back. Had to get airlifted out to OHSU.
Sorry to hear that. From the shore, Oak Springs is a very impressive rapids. Obviously it can be dangerous.

Nonsense.
Never use cameras to document your trips. Instead, take notebooks and pads, and lavishly illustrate your journey with pen, pencil and watercolors. Also, all narration should be in Mandarin Chinese only, never English. Cameras are for bank ATMs only.
Yes, I agree. It's best to strap a camera to a wild animal for realistic footage, as long as no animals were harmed in the making of my video
This place is ruined by the masses coming here
Dont get they get tirerd and go home
