    just 5-10 minutes off the freeway but no noise. Good cell phone signal. The first parking area (with view of waterfall) has some wicked rocks and a steep entry (i made it with a lifted Promaster) . Popular after concerts at the Gorge. btw- this is all BLM land, no Discovery Pass needed.

      @northwestcampervantravels7248 10 дней назад

      Thanks for the info. Yes, the area which is closer to I-90 and northeast of "feathers" and has a steep entry isn't posted as requiring a Washington Discover pass. To be clear though, the area where I camped and the area immediately adjacent to "feathers" is within the Quincy Lakes Wildlife Area, administered by the Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and does require a Discover pass.

      @northwestcampervantravels7248 17 дней назад

      It is definitely a very sparse landscape. The sage brush and grasses are alive. I saw a few rabbits. Interestingly, for much of the time, it was one of the more quiet places I have visited. I would occasionally hear a bird song or a flock of geese passing over. Of course, there is sound when a car goes by on the road. When you get close, there is the sound of the waterfall. But otherwise, it was often very quiet.

      Your nice comment is very much appreciated. I have been using a DJI Mini 3 Pro for some time and I think it is really good. DJI makes several nice drones, I don't think you can go wrong with any of their drones that fit your budget. I just recently added a Hoverair X1. The Hoverair is useful for quickly grabbing shots of walking or biking. It is very compact and doesn't need to a controller making it quite convenient for some kinds of shots.

      The Oregon coast is a good way to beat the heat in the summer. I don't really have good information about free places, I almost always stay in established campgrounds on public land. I suspect that the best possibilities would be dispersed camping in the Siuslaw National Forest or other national or state forests. Something I intend to explore more in the future.
