    I APPRECIATE your reminder to be safe! But I LOVE that you told folks to take their trash out. That's my favorite part I've seen now for the 2nd time. Your desire to keep wilderness clean and free from trash is worthy of praise Sir! Pack in/Pack out is an old backpacking rule that I fear has been forgotten these days. I'm an avid hiker/backpacker and I find more and more I'm seeing garbage and gear just left behind and many times deeper into the backcountry than I've ever seen in the past. It seems like people don't care if they see garbage in the wild or maybe they think someone will come along after them and clean up their mess, IDK . I wanted you to know your efforts are commendable and I also pack out additional trash when i am able. Great exploring I've watched around 10 of these waterfall vids and they're great. I subscribed Great Job Jesse!

    Was up there for a few days at the end of June 2019, all river access from Wishon road was closed by order of Tulare Co SO with a $5000 fine if they catch you down there. Campgrounds were pretty empty. There were probably 4 or 5 groups that came and went while we were there. The bugs were really thick so bring your mosquito / fly protection. Call Ranger station before coming up to check on river access.

    I was fortunate enough to live in Camp Nelson and then down in Porterville for six years, in the early 1980's. It was paradise. I recognize every waterfall and swimming place on this film. I have visited my old friends, human and tree, regularly since leaving in 1986. I've seen the ravages of humans and climate change in just that short period of time. More people need to know about the Pine Bark Beetle and what it's done to the remaining conifer forests in Western North America. All human climate driven.

    • @JesseStLouis

    I grew up in Camp Nelson, just up the road a ways from the Wishon Slides. Me and my buddies damn near lived on the river in the summer - good times! It used to be pristine when only locals knew about it and the other swimming holes on the Tule River, but unfortunately the word got out and now the place is thrashed. Glad I got to enjoy it when I did. BTW, it’s pronounced wish-on, with a short o, not a long o.

    • @JesseStLouis
      @JesseStLouis  4 роки тому

      They are in very different areas a long drive apart. It really depends on where you'll be. Tule is closer to the main park area. Alder Creek is a deeper drive in the National Forest but a flatter walk to get to

      I’m going up next week and have mixed directions . Did you park at the location marked on google maps as “ tule river cliff jumping “ ? Since it’s a bit far I don’t want to go and not find it .
