11/20/23 - Another GREAT video! Thanks for taking me along! Chas.,SC

I’m absolutely jealous that you guys are the only ones out there. You gotta love that and great footage with the drone. 😊😊😊😊😂😂😂 ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

Oh God! THANKS FOR THE TAKE ALONG! Could only thank you in capital.letters!

Gorgeous but a bit scary 😮 just in case your car brakes! Love your videos! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

All those kilometres and not a single Starbucks lol. Absolutely pretty country .👍👍👍❤️

I was born and live in Oregon pretty much all my life. I love it. I was born near the coast but live in parts of the valley. I have never been to that far down to the desert part. Thanks for showing it. I enjoy your videos.

Oregonian here, and I’ve Got to explore the southwest portion!

I use water for the eggs, fuffly 😊

Almost looks like another planet. Thanks for the ride

Good morning my beautiful famz❤❤wow so gorgeous and kinda scary to be by yourselves, would definitely be happier having the boys with you. It’s always awesome to see you my dear friend, take care and stay safe, love you from your kiwiNZfamz❤❤❤❤🇳🇿

Good morning EFRT! Wow what an awesome place to explore. Did not realize Oregon has such diverse landscapes. Thank you for taking us along! ❤️

Nice commentary Dan! ❤

What a pleasure traveling with you guys. Spectacular outback countryside. A vast wilderness with no ends. Loved every minute of it. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

I didn't know Oregon had landscape like that thank you for taking us along the trip

I have the same toaster … old school rules

That sky is enormous it just huge

You know Mom is a well experienced hand when you see her hands cooking up a wonderful meal!

Have the same deflaters,save time at the trail head. Nice video.

Hello, I just came across your channel and I am enjoying it so much. This video means so much more to me as this is my home state. I now live in Ohio and your video took me back home. I grew up close to a place called Coos Bay. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, safe travels and God bless.

Another great Video Watching from a Rainy 🌧️☔ East Coast 🇺🇸

I liked the ethereal music you chose on that flat pan desert scene - had a cool vibe to it :)

Living here in SW Oregon, I’ve noticed that too, no guardrails where you’d think you’d need them most, unlike California. They’re everywhere!

Safe Travels!!!!

What a landscape you’re taking us into

Makes you truly appreciate those who traveled the Oregon trail by foot. Humbling to say the least.

Yes agreed.

I enjoy watching your adventures. Thanks for sharing.

Good morning, Carol and Peter! How are you, dear hearts? Greetings from Florida! Is 8:06 am. Drinking my second cup of coffee and ready to go with you on this trip through the desert with you guys! Let's do this!!! God bless you both!

The tire deflators are some of the best trail worthy items I have in cab at all times. I recently improved them by adding the SKOG Chuck Mates Speed Clips. The tire deflators get screwed on to these speed clips, and then you just need to push them onto the valve stem, let them do their thing, and then press the lever and pop them right off once your deflator has stopped airing down. Easy peasy!!!! Your video was right at the perfect time, as I am heading out to the SE Oregon desert near Hart Mountain starting next week for some personal time away from the masses and do some solo exploring without my trailer in tow this time. Should be an adventure!

Okay, that was an exciting, bumpy experience. Usually I have my friend Lando next to me just looking out the window in awe. 😊 The vast wilderness, with no trees in miles, the line of mountains far away.....just beautiful! Carol and Pete, thank you for this amazing adventure. Be safe, look out for snakes and scorpions. ( I'm super scared of them) God bless you and God bless Caroline, Peter, Dan and my sidekick Lando.

So glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️

Welcome back to Oregon!

Love watching your trip very beautiful love the Drone

Oh my goodness my husband and I are October 10th also! We will be at 31 years! Congratulations you two!!! Ok back to your video.. I just had to pause it and comment on the same date!

Beautyful vlog

We live in central Oregon Cascades. If you travel the discovery route between Bend and Sisters you will drive past our cabin. I carry a Garmin inreach mini for our trips. So much of eastern and central Oregon do not have dependable cell service. With the inreach our children worry a little less when we travel.

Big Dry Lake is my favorite place to ride motorcycles unless open space like an ice skating rink

Another awesome video. I love seeing your journey thank you so much for sharing it with us❤❤

Welcome to eastern Oregon we got lots of roads like that over there.

Yeah, cooking after an empty nest takes some adjustments.

We cook for 4 even though only 2 now! I call it cook once eat twice!

Awesome video as always Epic Family Road Trip. Oregon BDR is so spectacularly beautiful you can explore for days and never see the same thing twice.

You too, are going to be eating like that in the morning you should probably throw some beans in there too😅

I really enjoy a green sauce on my eggs. Try Yellowbird Serrano Sauce. Really good stuff. Great video, always enjoy your ventured.

Thanks for the tip! Just ordered my tire deflators and caps :)

Sooo epik beautiful video

You guys have do such a good job with your videos. Narration, music, footage and your stories are priceless. I check every couple of days on your channel for updates. It's one of my favorites. Thank you from all of us for sharing.

Hello from Brisbane Queensland Australia

What a landscape you’re taking us into🥇👏thanks, from Norway 🇳🇴

Beautiful place 🌸🌼

Greetings family, every week I look forward to seeing your adventures. It is already part of what I long to see (a family that makes a difference). Seeing them alone makes me very sad. You and your children, wow, are something else. Take care of yourselves, Angel appreciates you.

I always enjoy all your videos .I'm very worried though haven't seen one in a while .I hope you guys are okay prayers.

WOW ! Fantastic.

Amazing content.

Today is our 41st Anniversary. Doesn't seem like it has been that long. Hopefully my husband keeps on making it since he had cancer in 2013 and pretty much still fighting it.

That's so awesome we share the same anniversary date!! We were married in 2004 in Hawaii. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! We're spending ours back in Florida.

So cool! Happy anniversary to you both!

My husband and I just celebrated our 40th on August 13th, you know some of us are so blessed to have a partner in life. I am going ahead now to wish both of you a long, loving life together, may God keep His hand upon you both. 💐

Really enjoyed this, such stunning landscape! Is this the famous Oregon Trail many Pioneers took to the coast? Looks like it might be, if so that is where my great grandmother's family crossed by wagon as part of the Metz/Manley party, starting from Illinois in 1850. Her father was a wheelwright, mother was a midwife with natural medicine skills, crucial skills needed in that environment, unfortunately they still lost 3 young children on this long journey with my great grandmother being born on arrival in Gold country California.They were tough people for sure to endure something like that in horse and wagon, just incredible.Since this is a trip with a romantic twist.... my great grandfather made the journey too but later on the first train from New York alone at 14 to work in a gold mine, once the rail was completed in 1875, a child of Irish born parents who fled the famine. The two met on the railroad in central California when she was 19, he was a baggage man and she was a Hardy girl in a railroad hotel! Happy 25th!

Our anniversary is October 10th too. Hope you had a fantastic anniversary celebration.

So beautiful.

Stunning starkly beautiful terrain. Thanks for including everyone.

We just missed you! We were in the Owyhee Canyon area. We are heading south into Arizona and then heading back to Florida.

You do as well. Supposed to turn cold in the next few days.

In California by Barstow there's El Mirage Dry Lake I was introduced to at age 15 from a friend's dad took us dirt bike riding Todd loewen Horst

Great video! I live in Boise and never knew of the Alvord desert. My wife and I are going out in October and headed towards the redwoods. Maybe we add this to our agenda to check out!

Great choice of cheese. Come see us here in Tillamook while ur on the coast.

HEY! Good morning and thumbs UP!!

We so relate to having difficulty cooking for 2! The struggle is real!

I’m excited to join u two on your return to OREGON ❤ I’ll watch from here in Gresham……….The entrance to The Columbia River Gorge ( Kinda) 😂

I had been meaning to suggest that your umbilical cords etc were hanging a bit low. Not much can stop you guys! Cheers 🙈👍🏻🙏👍🏻

Welcome home Carol. I live in Junction City Oregon and just love this place. Camped on the Alvord Desert and up Steens Mountain many times. The wild horses are there.

So enjoy seeing country I’ve never seen ‼️‼️‼️thank you. Travel safe

Congratulations on your Twenty-Fifth anniversary. Your enjoying your life together to the fullest. 😃 Love this as my husband and I also have full filled our marriage of fifty- six years the same. We love to still explore in our eighties. That terrain was absolutely grandiose and so glad you didn’t have car problems way out there alone. Happy trails to your next video.

Glad you enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching.

I follow other channels of folks that travel like you guys. They’ve traveled through this vast area as well and I always enjoy it! Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

If you like green salsa, if you ever make your way to northern New Mexico to Taos.... My father i law sells red and green chile salsas called Pepe's Salsa in the local stores... You would absolutely love them..

❤❤ Was a thrill to meet you two at Mountain West. I absolutely relate to this video as I just did both the Wyoming BDR and part of the Colorado, solo. The WYBDR can get pretty remote and the worry starts to set in a bit. Out there 100% alone, maybe not seeing anyone for hours at a time. I often wished I had another vehicle or even a person with me. Being solo you tend to really miss so much of what's around you as your focus is all on just staying on the trail. But now that I'm home on the east coast, I can only think about getting out there again. It's almost hard for me to watch you guys out there. 😊❤

I'm in Huntington Beach it's the best place you could be and it's getting worse everyday too many people take their mufflers off their car

Many people never thought Oregon had that kind of terrain I thought it was all trees

Your Oregon outback adventure is giving me serious wanderlust. Let's hit the road.

I have the same things, but mine are said it 15 pounds but you should check each tire to make sure that they’re all the same.

Super loved your travel vlog, it gives me inspiration to do it someday:-)

I would be too nervous to enjoy any of the beautiful scenery. You both are very brave.

My wife is now full of anticipation wanting to know exactly where and how you met. We met on a blind date. A colleague recently asked me the secret to a long marriage. I promptly replied - Yes! I know the secret! Don’t get divorced. We recently completed a big west coast swing and agreed that Oregon was the most beautiful and is the place to which we’d most like to return. Love your videos, as always!

Thanks for taking us on a tour of the vast high desert regions of Eastern Oregon. The geology there tells a silent story of the active vulcanism in the state, with dark basalt outcroppings, dry playas, grasslands and not a tree in sight. Wow! Loving Pete's voice over explanations of what we're seeing.

Good morning and great to see you out there! My daughter and I have camped very nearby (I recognize the Oregon sign) the last few summers. Such a beautiful, desolate place!

First, congratulations on your upcoming anniversary. May God Bless you with many more. Great video. The Epic "Empty Nest" Adventures look like fun. I love offloading in the "high desert". It's like noting else. The first time we went I found it a little unsettling (at first) when we didn't see another human for three days. But, as you mentioned, if you are prepared you can relax and take in the beauty and vastness this great country has to offer. And how critical it is to protect it. Pete Jr. has the perfect voice for narrating (nice touch). 😎🌻😎

Oh my goodness, this brings back so many wonderful memories! We lived in Nevada for 20 + years and then in Colorado for 3 years, and then finally settling in Wisconsin( we have been here now going on our 10th year. We as you used to wander in our Jeep almost every weekend that the weather allowed. From Nevada we wandered into California, Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. We sure miss doing this, and we miss the southwests natural beauty, and most of all we miss the mountains of Colorado. Thank you again for sharing your love of exploring, Family, and Faith. We can so relate. I will keep you in our prayers , and ask our Creator❤ of all this beauty, to watch over and protect you in your travels. 😊

I feel so stupid. I had no idea that Oregon had desert land. I must have missed that in geology class.

I never knew that a desert could be a dry river bed also. Interesting. I always thought OR was forests. Boy was I wrong. Such views. Fantastic journey. Thanks for sharing with us. Congrats on upcoming 25th. anniversary. Hubby and I had 56 1/2 yrs. together . May you have as many too. Take care. Travel safe. Looking forward to next video.

Those Steins are really nice. They can be set to what ever tire pressure you wish. The Alvord Desert looks like a great place for star gazing and deep space photography. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Wonderful video Carol & Pete. Thought the footage of the jeep coming across the desert at around 14.25 was just awesome.

Hardly a trail at times!

Watched this video and at the end dropping into Lakeview I've been down that road many times. In snow and in the dark.

My husband and I have been married 43 years. I’ve only had to cook for only the two of us for years, but raising three boys and two girls, I still find myself making way too much food! I’m also the oldest of eight, so it took a lot to learn how to cook for only two when we were first married!

That was incredible thank you so much!❤️

Wow.😮😮.. But I miss all of you guys with the kids 🥰🥰🥰#happy Family

Epic content this is overlanding at its best thanks for sharing greetings from South Africa

OMG, you stopped at Fields and didn’t get a Milkshake? I thought that was against the law. We stop there a lot on our bikes and never leave without having a milkshake 😆

Ok.....I think it's high time Carol got her own cooking channel!! Not many women will cook today in society. I'm just a man reporting from the front lines!! Timmy C Arizona

Back on trail! I love these episodes! I could watch till you guys get so old the kids a forcing you into a retirement home! 🤣
