    Thank you very much. Not only was it well done and enjoyable, but I'm about two hours away. Next spring I plan to take a trip there.

      Ron, thanks for the comment. Entry into the camp is a bit rough, but even with the modest road clearance of my van is was OK.

      I reaaly liked the night sky time lapse. I need to get out somewhere where I can see stars.

    I worked for a diatomaceous earth mine that operates just off silica road. Needless to say I'm quite familiar with this area. 👍

      Thanks for sharing. I don't know about the job, but it would seem that the commute would be better than what most of us put up with.

    Along old US 10, before the I90 bridge was built. There used to be a bridge there, across the Columbia. Nice astrophotography.

    Seems like there were other campers ...did you tell us what the elevation was?

    • @northwestcampervantravels7248
      @northwestcampervantravels7248  8 дней назад +1

      Yes, there were other campers there, it is a popular place. Looking at a topo map, it looks like the top of the plateau behind the camping area is about 1,200 ft, the camping area is around 1,000 ft and the floor of the coulee around 800 ft elevation.

      @northwestcampervantravels7248 thanks I like to know those facts. I don't do well in super high elevation.

    Thank you for another great video. We were at Steamboat Rock park couple of weeks ago and it was our first visit to this part of WA. The geology of eastern WA is truly an amazing wonder. I am looking to get a drone and If u don't mind me asking what model drone do u use.

      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.

    Is there anything alive there?

    • @northwestcampervantravels7248
      @northwestcampervantravels7248  2 месяца назад +1

      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.

      In April and May the wildflowers there are beautiful. By late June though they are going dormant - only receive about 8" of precipitation. 🙂

    We were in eastern Washington in July going by Soap Lake (where add Ivory Soap to the water!!), Grand Coulee Dam etc. We were going to go over the North Cascades highway but at Twisp we had to turn around because of a forest fire and go back south to Wenatchee and Stevens pass.

      Agree. It used to be uncrowded, but social media ended that, as it has for a lot of places.
