Overlanding In Oregon
Overlanding in Oregon was simply a delight! This is one of the four different places that I camped in the beautiful Ochoco National Forest in Oregon. This particular spot was just off of the National Forest Development Road 41, one of the main roads in the Ochoco National Forest in the state of Oregon (United States).
I met several wonderful people while I was in this national forest and I now call them good friends. At this particular campsite, I met Mitchel Seals. He camped a night with me and we made some videos for my YouTube chanel (OverLandScapes).
Later, I hiked through the forest seeking a spring of water that found on GAIA GPS and I came across another camping spot that was more secluded and out of the way... but either hiking there or coming back, I lost my cell phone in the forest's undergrowth. After many fruitless hikes back and forth and even enduring a rain shower, I finally found it nearly 24 hours later. It was lying on the ground face up... and barely had power.
Then, I drove in a big loop to the new site I had found. It was there that I met Gary and Jill Miller. Gary had been a BLM ranger in the Steens and he encouraged me to go to the mountain to take pictures. He actually met me there and showed me around the mountain. Their son, Nick, who is now serving as a BLM ranger, had an up-close and personal encounter with a large male cougar. Nick is lucky to be alive. There is a video on my channel where he talks about this dangerous encounter and how he survived.
