"Cat", here! Damn! We are Diamond lake bound! Thanks to you! Been to Crater Lake three times but never took the time to "look around"! Thanks to you, we now know what we passed up in our haste! "Haste makes waste!" And, in these times of "Putin high gas prices", it is wise to "hang around longer"! MUCH LONGER! Thanks a bunch for "opening our eyes" and the lesson of "slow down, take a more leisurely look around"! After all! "Life is just a GRAND ADVENTURE!"
Hi Marc, we didn’t have an opportunity to watch this episode until last night (Tuesday, July 26). Another great report! Thank you for continuing to publish great content.
Loved the video! Crater Lake … that’s a definite go see! ..Haven’t t been there since I was 4 ;-) Really enjoying your travel videos..they’re so very well produced. Thank you! 😊
My childhood stomping grounds. ❤️ My great great uncle James Sutton named Crater Lake. Diamond Lake is beautiful but the mosquitos are vicious 😂 makes for BIG fish tho. You’re gonna love the paddling around Bend!
We sure did, Suzanne! And how cool about your relationship to James Sutton -- thanks for sharing that! We don't doubt for a second that the mosquitoes can be ravenous down near the lakeshore, but even a half mile or so back as we were they weren't bad right at camp in the open area we camped in. However, go back 50 feet into the woods and it was a bloodbath.
We were at Crater Lake in October 2020 and we had planned to camp somewhere around Diamond Lake. Unfortunately, there was a big fire going through the Diamond Lake area and so the road heading toward it from Crater Lake was closed. Didn’t look like there was any fire damage where you took us in the video. It was also quite smokey when we drove around the crater. You showed some cool stuff and we will have to go back there in the future. Enjoyed the ride in the Kayak as usual. Thanks Marc! Ram 👍🏼👍🏽
Pretty kewl boondocking spot your at here....Really do appreciate you showing the campgrounds around diamond lake as those would be up my alley....I see your in Idaho now...Father lived in Salmon, south of where you are for yrs ...Great area is the Sawtooth mountains if you get the chance...Glad i called them waterfall you showed in past conversation...There are a few more north of where you camped...Right now with the RV sitting in the driveway due to the wifes health conditions, am living through folks like you and a few more for my RVing loving fix....Travel safe, be well...
Yep, we love the whole Salmon/Stanley/Sawtooth areas of southern Idaho. This trip, though, we're just swinging east across the Panhandle. Wishing your wife a speedy and thorough recovery so you can get back on the road, but until then we're happy to have you along.
Another great video, Marc. We have been on the road ourselves all the way to Niagara Falls. The Pacific northwest is on our bucket list so we can't wait to see what you have. Stay safe, my friend !
Beautiful footage of the lakes and water falls Marc, What a great area . I need to put that on my places to visit for sure. Thankyou for all your hard work bringing us this video. You make it look easy but you devote a lot of time into it.
Love Crater Lake, one of the most beautiful places we have been! Great job capturing it Grand Adventure! We actually stayed at the Diamond Lake resort as well! Of course the kayaking was the best part of this episode :).
Thanks Tom! FYI next week's video will include not one, but two segments with the new kayak, as well as a viewer-requested explanation of what kayak gear we use and why.
I was there last October on a trip to Oregon. We visited Bandon on the coast first then drove to Diamond Lake/Crater Lake and stayed at the Diamond Lake RV Resort. It was very nice and about ¾ full when we were there. We had to just drive around Crater Lake though due to an injury my SO got in Bandon but we still got some great pictures. We will be making that trip again and will try to stay healthy this time :-)
Another great Thursday lunch hour watching your latest episode. I also just stumbled across the Interactive Episode Map on your website. It looks like you created it in 2019, but you should mention it in an upcoming episode for those (like me) who don't know about it. Hopefully we'll see a new truck episode in the near future. :-)
Awesome, thank you Pete! We've mentioned the Interactive Episode Map at GrandAdventure.tv occasionally, but it's agreed that we should publicize it a bit more.
Good video Marc, you brought back memories for my wife, she's been to Crater lake twice, once with alot of snow and again with very little snow, she was stationed at Falcon Heights AFB years ago, again your campsite was amazing, nice kayaking trip too, travel safe.
Wow, I had no idea. I mean, I’ve seen other videos but this had me scratching notes. Right now I’m closer to Caribou in Maine, but I’ll have to get back that way. My spot will be where that white sprinter was parked!
This was one of the best videos I’ve seen on Crater Lake and the surrounding area. Very informative, with great photography. If I visit the lake when travelling over from the UK this will be on my re-watch list. I really appreciate the information and effort you put in your videos. Thank you.
Thanks Marc... beautiful area. I always love the water in your videos. You always make it so engaging. There are so many great places to visit in this remote area. I noticed there weren't any filling stations around. I guess you have to fill up before getting too far away. I looked a Google Maps to see what was around there and there isn't too much. Maybe one filling station for every little outpost. And boondocking might take you off the beaten path for quite a ways. I gather you are basically just wandering around in the west because your new truck isn't built yet. I kind of doubt you will make it east of Colorado, at all this year. Gord
That was the original plan, Gord, but with no word from Ford I'm giving up and going wherever I want. As far as I'm concerned now the dealer can hold the truck until I get back. You're absolutely correct, there's nothin' around there at all. The Diamond Lake Resort has two gas pumps but I couldn't even figure out the price per gallon, and didn't dare ask. Otherwise there's a Pilot about 30 miles in one direction, and the Prospect Store closer to 40 miles in the other.
@@GrandAdventure Thanks Marc. Yup, don't even bother asking if they haven't got it posted. It means their pumps are only set up to display dollars per gallon at 9.99 or less. At $10/gal, it would cost $2000 to fill up a diesel pusher with a 200 gallon fuel system. How does that make any sense at 8 miles per gallon? That's $1.25 for every mile you drive. Just going to get fuel in a remote area could cost as much as $30 - $40. 😱🥺🤪 Have a great wander as you go. That means that next year you will definitely be heading east, as you will have exhausted the west this year... Gord
Anything that looks like a gorge or is a waterfall is where I like to be. Would have been awfully nice of Crater Lake NP to allow kayaking. Imagine being out there... no boaters... just stunning reflection of the caldera peaks and your thoughts
Yet another great video, Marc, and the timing couldn't be more perfect. We're picking up our new travel trailer in Pendleton on 07/30 and will spend four nights near Bend on our way back to Reno. We plan to spend a full day at Crater Lake NP; it's been well over 50 years since I've been there. Thank you, sir!
@@NvFlyAngler oh wow nice. Yeah we are enjoying our 29TRX trail series. Yeah we placed our order 6/2021 It’s a pretty tough rig so far. Only had the TP holder bolts come out of the wall and patio doors don’t open very well anymore. So gotta call TRV up in Pendleton about that We’ve been looking south of bend at the different lakes but it’s a Complete madhouse and out of control around here. We’re just doing some Boondocking at this point. Hope Bend is fun when you arrive Enjoy that 26KVS
Great video Marc. Tried taking the kids there several years ago but got chased out by wildfires. Will make it there one day. And a lightweight spinning rod on that kayak would be nice.
Ha! Yep, I've fished from the 'yak before, but getting even temporary licenses in each state I paddle in would get a bit costly. We hit up the whole area we've been traveling the past few months a bit early, with the intention of beating feet out of there before the wildfire season gets underway in earnest. So far, though, it's been far better than last summer.
At the same time I can understand why they don't. There are no streams filling that lake, just rain water and snow melt. It took ~750 years to fill and it would be dry before long at all.
Thanks Wendy! The life jacket I had along while paddling in this video is an old Kokatat kayak PFD. However, I wasn't wearing it, I had it lashed to the aft deck as required by law. What I was wearing is a Seals spray skirt. I've since acquired (and much prefer for mobility and comfort) a Stohlquist Edge life jacket a.co/d/j5GHqI1 .
I noticed you have 3 Gopro's with you. One in the front, back and on your chest harness. How do you activate the ones on the front of the Kayak and rear? BTW, nice video.
Thanks Ron! We can control both of those remotely mounted GoPros with their app on the phone, but seldom bother -- we usually just let each run (with a large microSD card) and then choose our clips from it later.
how deep was the lake when away from the shore, enough depth for SUP fin or Foil board? Crater lake looks great did you hike down to the shore and take the shuttle boat to the island?
Hi Marc, a fantastic video. I plan on filming Crater Lake just before I leave Oregon heading south at the end of September or first of October. If you think my class A and trailer would make it to the spot you camped at, would you mind texting me the coordinates? Don
Thanks Don! Your rig would have zero issues there -- it's all flat and smooth, and the spot we were in is even "paved" with small wood chips. There's a Google Maps pin to the spot right in the video description.
Hey Mark, random question… what is make/model of your kayak? I’m looking to get into the hobby and I was wondering if you could help point me in the right direction. With what seems like hundreds of brands and models, it’s a bit daunting trying to find the right watercraft.
Hey Charles! The boat in this episode is an old Necky Looksha Sport, but it's probably ~25 years old. We recently acquired a 2018 Eddyline Fathom, and at the time we acquired it we did a brief video segment on what we look for in a kayak and why: ruclips.net/video/jh5nPcKzI4E/видео.html (that link will take you right to the kayak gear segment in the video)
Thanks for a beautiful video, loved the kayaking shots. Wanted to verify regarding the boondocking area you parked in. Are you sure it was legal to stay there for free?
I watched your Iowa lakes show today. I think you said you would still be in Iowa for the next one. Is that this coming week, the 12th or are you behind a week or two?

Thank you so very much! There's much to see and do in that area, and much of it gets overlooked by most visitors.
@@GrandAdventure An obvious statement if there ever was one! Thanks for the response! Enjoy your channel! Keep up the very interesting work!
Crater Lake is such a beautiful area, but the Diamond Lake area is just as beautiful. So many miss that part of the area.
It sure seemed that way to us, Donaleanne.
Great production, Marc. As usual, very informative, nice videography, editing, and music selection. 👍🏻
Thank you Chad!
what a beautiful lake. it almost doesn't look real. must be really great to travel around seeing all these wonderful places in our country.
Mickster, every day that goes by we feel very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to do so.
As always, Marc, thanks for taking us along for some great camping.
As always, thanks for watching!
Marc you did a great job showcasing this beautiful area.Diamond Lake was the first place I ever kayaked.Thanks for another great video.Always so good🌟
Thank you as always Brooke! Diamond Lake is most certainly a beautiful paddle -- what a great place to start.
Hi Marc, we didn’t have an opportunity to watch this episode until last night (Tuesday, July 26). Another great report! Thank you for continuing to publish great content.

Thank you so very much, Teresa! Time to return to Crater Lake.
I was making copious notes while watching the beautiful footage you captured. Thank you so much for all the great info!!
Thank you so very much! Glad that you enjoyed this one.
I lived in prospect during the 90s I Made my way back after 25 years and loved being in that majestic area.
It sure seems like a neat little community, John, and all of the townspeople we met were very welcoming.

I was there in '99 and have wanted to return to spend more time. Thanks for all the beautiful video and helpful information!
Thank you so much, Jesi! Here's wishing you a return trip in your future.
Fabulous video Marc! Thanks for all your hard work. Sooo beautiful!
Thank you so very much Joyce!
My childhood stomping grounds. ❤️ My great great uncle James Sutton named Crater Lake. Diamond Lake is beautiful but the mosquitos are vicious 😂 makes for BIG fish tho. You’re gonna love the paddling around Bend!

Looks like you worked that beer off getting back to the truck. I always enjoy your skilled and scenic drone footage.
Thanks as always Marv!
Another beautiful adventure Marc. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks as always Mike!
Beautiful-I hope to get around Crater Lake some day 🤩
Thank you Mary! You most certainly should if you get the chance.
Awesome adventure, Marc. Here's to many more....
That's the plan Blake, thank you!
very beautiful, thanks Marc.
Thank you as always, Joe.
We were at Crater Lake in October 2020 and we had planned to camp somewhere around Diamond Lake.
Unfortunately, there was a big fire going through the Diamond Lake area and so the road heading toward it from Crater Lake was closed.
Didn’t look like there was any fire damage where you took us in the video.
It was also quite smokey when we drove around the crater.
You showed some cool stuff and we will have to go back there in the future.
Enjoyed the ride in the Kayak as usual.
Thanks Marc!
Ram
👍🏼👍🏽
Thanks you two! Yes, there was a bit of fire damage on the road in from the North Entrance, but it wasn't too extensive.
Such an amazing beautiful place.
Zero doubt about that.
Great place thank you. Appreciate all the insight and review.
And we appreciate you watching, thank you as always!
Stunning. Fantastic job capturing those captivating views and surroundings. Best and most under-rated RUclips channel on the internet. ❣️👍

We're bummed we missed you. We were camping at Clearwater Falls off the 138 for 4th of July. Good to see you having a great time!
That would've been great to see you again Lucy. Wishing you folks safe travels and happy trails!
Sure is a pretty country we live in. Great video Marc, very professional.

Thanks JT! 👍
Great information video. Love the waterfalls. I bet it was a little tough paddling against the wind in diamond lake. Thanks Don
Thanks Don! It was more of a sidewind across the starboard bow, so it was rough but not too laborious.
Just gorgeous looking! I don't stay at parks as long as there is national forest ares to camp in. Stay safe
You do the same, Kurt. We're boondockers at heart as long as the opportunities are there. Thanks for watching!

Great video Marc. Tried taking the kids there several years ago but got chased out by wildfires. Will make it there one day.
And a lightweight spinning rod on that kayak would be nice.

New sub ! Liked 🙏👏👍
Happy to have you along, thank you!
With all the water shortages going on, you'd think they would be tapping that lake.
At the same time I can understand why they don't. There are no streams filling that lake, just rain water and snow melt. It took ~750 years to fill and it would be dry before long at all.
