Sounds of a Colorado Creek
I visited friends who lived in Nathrop, Colorado, back in August 2013. This was, of course, MANY years before my YouTube channel. Ferg had driven us up to St. Elmo, a ghost town. That drive was harrowing! Imagine a spiral mountain dirt road, and yes, that road was a 2-way roadway! No guardrails, even thoughContinue reading “Sounds of a Colorado Creek”

The Mount Equinox Skyline Drive is 5.2 miles of paved road. It is the longest privately owned toll road in the United States.

Well, this was my home-away-from-home for the past couple of nights. A friend, he dog and I had stayed in a handicapped lean-to, which was her suggestion. So glad she knew about stuff like that!

Water Lapping the Shore
A few years ago, I had flown out to Chicago to meet a friend who was driving to Vermont. We had many adventures, including this one captured in my video. This was LOOOOONG before I had my channel, so no intro or outro at all. That said, you know the drill: SUBSCRIBE, SUBSCRIBE AND DIDContinue reading “Water Lapping the Shore”
THE GRATITUDE EDITION!
Well, I HAD been traveling until I returned to my car, started it and tried to shift out of park. And…ABSOLUTELY NO GO!! My car would NOT shift at all. What the heck???
