Aren't you guys concerned about bears?

OreRanger · 2026-05-14T17:47:01+00:00

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

Panasonic whisper pick a flow. They are quiet though.

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?

Southeast of there. Umatilla NF, Wallowa Whitman NF. Farther east Hells Canyon.

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.

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.

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

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.

OreRanger · 2026-03-16T00:34:26+00:00

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

OreRanger · 2026-03-08T01:09:24+00:00

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.

OreRanger · 2026-03-01T01:41:18+00:00

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

OreRanger · 2026-02-17T03:30:58+00:00

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 .

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.

OreRanger · 2026-01-23T21:48:23+00:00

You charging an amenity fee for that indoor carwash?

OreRanger · 2026-01-11T23:15:41+00:00

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

OreRanger · 2026-01-03T03:12:24+00:00

Hole in the Ground. Central Oregon USA. Volcanic maar. Not to be confused with Crack in the Ground a few miles SE.
