Fall camping is beautiful! ..... but....
Today's lesson, Kids, is never completely trust your Garmin GPS.
Or, better yet, pay better attention to it!
I took off early Tuesday morning for what was supposed to be an hour and 30-minute trip to the Clackamas River area where I wanted to find some dispersed camping and fishing.
Well, coming out of Estacada, Oregon, old Garmin decided it was going to take me a back way into that area and, being new out here, I just followed along not really paying much attention.
Next thing I knew, I was several miles into the 2020 Riverside Forest Wildfire area...driving through rockslides and overgrown underbrush and at some point, I finally stopped and took a better look at my Garmin.
Sure enough, it had put me on a 50-mile course of old forest roads. But, instead of turning around, I decided to take a shot at seeing where it was going to take me. Shoot, I'm in my 70's, retired, and in no hurry anymore anyway!
I did stop and take a few scenery shots and you can see in those the thousands of acres of standing burnt forest stretching out for miles towards Mount Hood. Of course, the deeper in I got, the worse the roads got...but the scenery was amazing.
I even followed a large male Grey Wolf for about 3 minutes down a cliffside portion of Forest Road 4540 where it disappeared into a small green belt area that popped up.
My hands were pretty full picking my way through a rockslide at the time and I couldn't get to my camera in time, but I did send in a wolf sighting report into the Fish and Game folks here in Oregon.
Forest Road 4540 ended for me in a heavy overgrowth area at the bottom of that ridge and that's where I had to turn around and retrace my steps back out and back to Estacada to start over.
So, my hour and a half drive turned into a 5-and-a-half-hour tour.
But it was worth it!
I eventually found a great spot right on the river and setup camp there for 9 awesome days. Beautiful fall foliage for sure!

great camp setup
Thanks Rick! It's setup for long stays...lots of gear it seems, but it all fits in the Montero nicely.🦅
We have same hobby, I love camping too.
There's nothing better to recharge the old batteries and Oregon has so many different kinds of terrain and camping opportunities. You should come see this place yourself, someday!
@@eaglefx5552 I am in Pennsylvania its mountains too. I love camping out here, but hey new place is always good experience🥰.
Great video, keep going.👍
Thank you for the encouraging words! They mean a lot!
All the best from North New Mexico and Southern CO.
Thanks, I spent years around the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range myself. Beautiful country there. Definitely God's Country!
Nice video, beautiful place, by the way any mushrooms that growing on the three or stump is not edible
Thank you very much, Bill. I can see by one of your videos you might have camped in your Pomoly right near there, yourself.
@eaglefx5552 yes, I love those places by Clackamas river. It's my favorite thing to do, my hobby is camping any season!!!
I really enjoyed this, great video mate!
Thank you all so, very, much!
Hello from a fellow Oregonian! Nice camp. Thanks for sharing my friend 🤠
Thanks Herb.....I'm loving out here and I'm out doing that "bucket list" stuff!
I grew up hunting, fishing and camping in Northern "Minnesnowta" and Oregon has given me the opportunity to re-experience some of the good times of my youth...even at my old age! 🤠
@@eaglefx5552 I grew up in Alaska, hunting fishing, and camping. still fish and camp. Not so much hunting anymore. Beat the hell out of my body spending 30yrs. on a beer truck 😎
Hey friend, if that smoky stove were to happen again. Go get you some mud from the river and dobb that into the cracks. I'm from the east side of the state.
Good idea! I'll definitely try that if I don't get a new flue collar before my next camp. Thanks for the tip! (I should've thought of that myself..) 🦅
Curious about your tent and tarp setup as well as your wood stove?
What questions can I help you with, Larry?
