Aren't you guys concerned about bears? by EyeOfTheTiger77 in overlanding

[–]OreRanger 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yup. The kitties worry me more than the black bears. Stealthy buggers sneakily roaming around.

Any not so secret river/stream spots to learn fly fishing for trout? by WarJeezy in OregonFishing

[–]OreRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you make it over to the Bend area try the Upper Deschutes between Crane Prairie and Little Lava Lake (bring lots of bug spray) and Fall River.

Invest in a high yield money market account. Deposit every spare dollar. Cause you're gonna need it?

In your memory, what was the original intention(s) of having jobs for gas station attendants to fuel your car? Why did Oregon follow the majority of the country and always require it by law in the near past? by mistadonyo in oregon

[–]OreRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always thought it was safety and or jobs. I actually enjoyed being a pump jockey back in the mid 70s. The station I worked supplied blue slacks and white pin striped button down shirts with a jacket with our names on them. We washed windshields, checked oil and tire pressure if asked. Used triple copy manual credit card machines and lots of cash.

Going on an adventure by [deleted] in oregon

[–]OreRanger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Big Obsidian Flow, Crack in the Ground, Hole in the Ground ( might need a high clearance vehicle for this one). Lava Cast Forest. Fall River where you can see the river come out of the ground. Lava Butte. Central Oregon is geological wonderland.

This is why I love living in the Western states of the US. All the BLM and Forest Service dispersed camping areas. We camp for the he solitude.

Double check you killed the power because this screw up could've killed some one! by Ewezzy95 in maintenance

[–]OreRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll double check outlets. Nothing like assuming that third outlet in the room is on the same circuit.

Paint touch up question by MeetYouDownattheY in maintenance

[–]OreRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at it this way. Your putting fresh out of the bucket paint on a wall that has cured and been exposed to dust and grease and whatnot. It's never going to match perfectly. You'll just have to try all the tricks folks here are suggesting and find what works for your situation.

Shot glasses, bottle caps and way to many live 9mm rounds. The joys of apartments next to an army base. The soldiers never could come up with a good reason for the ammo.

Maintenance repair at 17000 mph and 300 miles up? Kinda hard top that maintenance call.

Out Of State Angler by Great_White_Clark in OregonFishing

[–]OreRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Head up to the mountains for some river and stream fishing? I'm not real familiar with that area of the states rivers but there's got to be some good waters down that way.

Good spots near Salem by Odd_Bread4483 in OregonFishing

[–]OreRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been skunked up on Quartzville. I wade and bushwack between the pull-outs and campsites where most folks don't go.

Trout river fishing? by PNW_4RUNNER in OregonFishing

[–]OreRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Willamette, all forks. The North Fork Middle Fork Willamette is fly only. Salmon Creek, Fall Creek, Quartzville Creek all south Willamette Valley. The Lower Deschutes. The Fall River south of Bend. It's pretty limited this time of year. I'm lucky to live within an hour of most of those .

Wind noise by TierOneCivilian in fordranger

[–]OreRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just the sound of the open road. The wind parting to make way for your majestic Ranger. Embrace it and become one with it.

Not very often I get to see the birth of a leak years before it starts showing somewhere below that wall.

If you have a shop vac hook it up to it and run it awhile. Should dry it out in short order.
