      @northwestcampervantravels7248 9 дней назад

      Yes, many of the June Lake Campground sites have more trees and shade while the Oh Ridge Campground is more open with more sun. On a warm day it is a trade off of privacy and cool shade vs sun and solar recharge of your batteries. Even with the shade at June Lake, I got enough solar to recharge my van batteries. Oh Ridge also has a larger beach. It is great to have such nice options.

      I wasn't sure. When I camped at Cape Disappointment, I had a reservation. So I emailed the park and checked. They responded that all campsites in the park are reservable. So reservations are recommended. When they have open campsites that have not been reserved, they are available at the park.

      Linda & Ray, thank you for your nice comment on this video. Yes, some drones have "autonomous" modes that allow them to fly without input. My drone has a "follow me" mode. I position the drone at a good altitude and position to view me. Then on the controller screen, I draw a box around my image. Then as I walk, the drone follows me. As a solo traveler, it is hard to get different view of yourself. I like using the drone to get different looks to my videos.

      Thanks for the comment. I visited Cottonwood Canyon in the spring, not a good time to go swimming as the water flow is high, air and water temperatures low. So I don't know of any swimming holes in the area. As the John Day River is not dammed, flow decreases greatly during the summer. I expect that there probably are places to swim during the summer, but I don't have any first any information.
