  Thanks for your nice comment. Enjoy your visit to the John Day River. I haven't been there in the fall. Because the river isn't dammed, I would guess that the river flow would probably be a lot less in the fall.

  Loved your video...thank you! I don't know anything about drones and assume you can program your drone to follow you as you walk...?

  Linda & Ray, thank you for your nice comment on this video. Yes, some drones have "autonomous" modes that allow them to fly without input. My drone has a "follow me" mode. I position the drone at a good altitude and position to view me. Then on the controller screen, I draw a box around my image. Then as I walk, the drone follows me. As a solo traveler, it is hard to get different view of yourself. I like using the drone to get different looks to my videos.

  Any swiming holes there or near by you might know of? Its the only way i can get my son to go out camping with me. Has to have good swim hole. I love how it looks. Thanks for taking your tike to make this video.

  Thanks for the comment. I visited Cottonwood Canyon in the spring, not a good time to go swimming as the water flow is high, air and water temperatures low. So I don't know of any swimming holes in the area. As the John Day River is not dammed, flow decreases greatly during the summer. I expect that there probably are places to swim during the summer, but I don't have any first any information.

  Not sure how you concluded my windshield is clean. If it is based on the videos taken from the front of my van, I didn't actually take those videos through the windshield. I have had a lot of problems with reflections when taking videos through the windshield. So recently I have been using a magnetic mount to hold the camera of the front hood of the van, in front of the windshield. Only problem then is possible bug splatter on the lens of the camera.
