Alvord Desert to Owyhee Overland Route Day 1 - Wetter than Anticipated

This day one of the Alvord Desert to Owyhee Overland Route. This is a new route that Donald from Soft Roading the West and I are working on. This Overland route will take us from the Alvord Desert to the Owyhee river canyon from there we will travel along the Owyhee river canyon up to the Owyhee reservoir. We encountered a lot of historical locations along this route. Make sure to follow along the entire series.

    Another great video Jason!!! I love it out west and I truly appreciate being able to get trip ideas for out there. Being from Michigan it's hard to get out there enough to see it all so any little ideas I can pick up on from channels like yours I take advantage of!! Can't wait to see the rest of your trip, stay safe :)

    Southeastern Oregon is one of our go to camping locations. The challenge for us is I tow a large travel trailer with a flatbed tow truck that has our Suzuki Grand Vita on the bed. The truck and trailer do not handle the rough and slick roads often found during the winter months.. I also have had issues with traveling 30 miles on BLM roads to come to a private ranch with signs that read " Private Road No Trespassing" Has that been an issue for you? We have been lucky at seeing large herds of feral horses and pronghorns in that area.

    Fantastic videography but I cringe with every public/social media mention of these areas because we’re seeing a steady increase of people that don’t have the same respect for the land as you do. It’s exciting to recognize every spot you just visited but depressing to know this will ultimately introduce more people who scar the area by making their own trails, donuts and high-marks. I know that’s not the majority of your audience but why make it easier for the masses?

    @@brettferguson6954 I can't speak about other channels, but most people who watch my videos are older and just enjoy the ride. They tell me it is like they are riding along with me. That is really all they want, no talking, no music, no advertising just adventure. I do however put clues in my videos. I have quite a few people who tell me they have figured out my routes and they find it fun to do. Donald from Softroadingthewest is in fact one of them. I am located in SW Idaho so most of my travels are in that area. If I am out of that area then I usually include in the video description a basic area I am in. Watch for road signs, town names, information signs, obvious points of interest, even my titles give clues to where I am at times. I put clues in my videos on purpose because I know that people can figure it out just as I have figured other peoples routes by watching their channels. Not sure if they do it on purpose or not though. It is part of the fun. I figure if you are willing to figure out a route by clues then you are probably going to be a respectful person to that area as well.
