    Maxpedition-Condor Camera Bag Setup



    I upgraded to this setup for making you tube videos. My old camera bag was too small and  I would find that my video camera would get turned on inside the bag. This setup also allows for better padding and some insulation from the cold as well as room for rain shields, camera mounts and other assorted gear.

    Exploring Hole in the Ground, Part 2 of a Central Oregon Odyssey



    Part 2 of our 371 Mile road trip. We went to Fort Rock, Hole in the Ground, Lake Abert, Abert Rim, Glass Butte and all spots in between. Sadly no wild horses were seen this trip, maybe next time when we go up on top of the Abert Rim.

    Exploring Fort Rock, Part 1 of a Central Oregon Odyssey



    This was part of a near epic central Oregon road trip. In this part we explore Fort Rock.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Rock

    The Fort Rock Basin has served as a vital part of the Native American lifestyle. Fort Rock Cave is near Fort Rock State Natural Area, and is the site of an archaeological discovery of several 9,000 to 11,000 year-old sagebrush sandals. This property serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped so much of Oregon's history. The story of the Fort Rock Basin is told by the artifacts left behind and by the rich oral tradition of the tribes who claim the area as home.

    Fort Rock Cave is a National Heritage site and is open only by a state park guided tour.
