It has become very popular over the years with more boaters. Glad you got a chance to experience it. Cheers!

Thanks so much! We really appreciate you taking the time to watch :)

The problem this time was it wouldn’t stay lit unless you held down the knob which bypass the thermo couple. I knew it had something to do with the thermocouple circuit. The thermocouple produces a tiny electrical current when a flame heats it. It then holds in an magnetic gas valve and keeps burning as long as the thermocouple has flame on it. Our problem was where the thermocouple couple wire was grounded clipped on the brass valve. It had a tiny bit of oxidation that was preventing a good ground contact. Once I cleaned the contact of the ground clip with a green kitchen scrubby it fired right and stayed lit. I bet this happens all the time with these stoves….

@@greg.jacobs Hey thanks for tuning in. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Definitely more to come ....

Thank you so much for that compliment and thanks for taking the time to watch our video :) Silas installed the bump outs so we could have our bed widthwise so he can sleep comfortably. The van was owned by a Sprinter mechanic before we bought it and he took excellent care of it. There has been some minor rust but nothing a little rustoleum can't gloss over ;)

@@Scrambler85 Thanks for checking us out ✌️

@@illianamai7209 It was really nice meeting you and your dad. We were so blessed to witness such a spectacular moon rise. Hope to meet again ✌️

@@leilawitherspoon503 Yes it does! We have several videos on our channel that feature some of Oregon's hot springs.

It sure is!

Thanks for watching and the nice words!

Glad you enjoyed the video…We did two hikes below Birch Creek as we took at Leslie Gulch. I think you mean the last hike with the crystals that the whole group did…That was on river left pretty close to where the river flow met the slack water of the reservoir. There was a camp there that actually had a dirt road to it. We made it there because we couldn’t find anything else up river and were getting driven by rain, wind and hail and came to that spot. We got a shelter up, a fire going and had dinner then it cleared up a bit and we got to go on that hike which was pretty awesome. Have an awesome trip and Good luck finding it. Cheers!

@@HeartCompassAdventures Thanks! we are taking out at Birch creek, bummer that we will miss it.

@@MichaelRuff-il8se you probably know the road to Birch creek is horrible. There is quite a bit of interesting areas below Birch creek too. The hot springs on the reservoir are worth stoping at.

It was an intense scene to witness. Thanks for taking the time to watch.

Nature is the supreme artist! That's cool you're able to get out and run the rivers :)

We pinned a comment regarding this... Two locals were swimming in the water shortly after we arrived. We asked about why there were "no swimming" signs and one the men said everyone always use to swim there but then several years ago a tourist jumped for the top and was sadly killed. That's when the "no swimming" signs went up. He said he visits that waterfall regularly and always swims there. In general we do follow rules but given the situation and the history of the place we decided it was absolutely safe for us to swim there.

Hey, thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. We can't wait to go back and explore the rest of the country. Try frying up a banana as a quick snack ;)

@@HeartCompassAdventures oh silly silly. I’ve been frying plantains for years. I don’t do them the way you guys were though I do them more like smashed chips. In a deep fryer. We went to Costa Rica in 2016. We pretty much went everywhere you did, but in reverse order. Nicoya peninsula is where I fell in love with Costa Rica though. San Francisco day coyote. Kind of in the middle of nowhere. We were considering moving there though so we were looking for possible real estate. I really loved it.

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed it. We actually joked about smuggling some of the plants home to add to our house plant collection ;P and pretty much everywhere we went we saw monkeys. Costa Rica is full of wildlife!

We passed by a small field of hydrangea and eucalyptus.

Thanks so much :)

🤣🤣🤣✌️

🤣🤣🤣✌️

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the nature scenes. It's a beautiful country.

Thank you so much :) It was absolutely a fun trip!

Awesome. Last year was a nice extended season for it with the water levels. Hope you can make it back there. Cheers!

Thanks for watching! Maybe someday we will be so blessed to visit the Altai mountains. Cheers!

It's a good year for them. Happy hunting!

It was invigorating!

Why would you say this?? Your tiny

Thats a hard one to answer. The depth is always changing. Its deeper in the pools and gets shallow before the riffles. We dont know the John Day well enough to know what the lowest level a raft can get through on.

Thanks Ronda! Hope to make many more in the future.

Oregon as so many amazing gems. Still so much of the state to explore.

Hi there! I haven't seen you at market in awhile. Hope you're doing alright. Elevation at top of South Sister is 10,358. This was my second time climbing it and definitely prefer the Green Lakes Route because there are fewer hikers going up that way although there is also less of a trail and more just a general direction of navigating.

No. We would have to have an outfitters license and insurance the minute we are paid for a trip though someone can buy all the food, vehicle shuttle, gas or any equipment but you cant call it a payment and there is no insurance. If your feeling adventurous sometime and promise no complaining about anything. You can jump on a trip. Right now we dont have any on the Calendar except a trip we barely got on with a group I met on Facebook. That is too the Selway river in northern Idaho in late July. Ive never got to do that one as it is one of the hardest permits in the country to get. The Rogue is a really good option for newbie’s and its only 3 hours from Eugene.

@@HeartCompassAdventures Yes, we actually went down the road a little ways on a little raft thing. But nothing as cool as your trips. I had no idea. It was so hard to get that license. I do understand though why when I think about it!

Its an incredible area and not to far from bend.

@@HeartCompassAdventures Nice! Sounds like possible motorcycle trip at least

Shhhhh ... don't tell anyone or next time you want to go you'll have to apply for a lottery to maybe win a permit and deal with the scads of trips on the river!!!

@@HeartCompassAdventures Hi there are you guys are! Haven’t got any notifications lately was wondering

@@agarcia6585 You’re in luck… Nobody listens to me anyhow lol

It's candy for the eyes and heart ✨🌈❤️. Hope you can experience it one day ✌️

Are you friends with Dennis and Carrie?

You pack it out?

Besties! Dennis officiated our wedding!

The water level at 2000 cfs felt ideal. Definitely make it happen if you can!
