This was a longer video I wasn’t able to upload until now. I had found a nice, natural, overhang shieled from the wind (mostly) and with good acoustics along an ancient path to a natural spring. Animals and humans have used the path for thousands of years to access precious water in an otherwise aridContinue reading “Bansuri Improvisation In the Grand Canyon”

I saw the most beautiful, thougtful, humble, and sincere expression of faith, hope, and love while driving down the highway today through the Navajo nation: eight signs (below) in sequence.  I was not only deeply touched by the message, but by the genuine effort involved.  Not only did this blessed soul feel these things inContinue reading “A beautiful expression of faith, hope, and love”

On my way to Sedona I decided to go out of my way to explore Lake Havisu.  I only stayed long enough to u-turn on the main drag, so I can’t really say I got a true sense of the place, only enough to know it wasn’t for me, at least not now.  It wasContinue reading “To The Arizona Canyons”

After taking my pistol course in Reno, accidentally driving down the main drag of a motorcycle rally on my little green Japanese 250cc bike, and taking advantage of Nevada’s legal weed status, I made my way up Grant’s Pass Oregon to visit an old and dear friend of mine who has done fairly well forContinue reading “A West Coast Run”

If you won’t take it from me, take it from this incredibly gifted and insightful author who wroteContinue reading “John Steinbeck Quote:”

My plans to head over to the Oregon Coast and down to Mt Shasta got derailed due to all the wildfires.  So I spent several days in the Kootenai National Forest in the remote northwest corner of Montana, home to grizzlies, wolves, and cougars… none of which I was able to see, although I didContinue reading “Searching for apex predators and flyfishing in the smoke”

I started exploring Montana just before Labor Day weekend and soon found a serene and picturesque lake in the Flathead National Forest, Holland Lake. I appreciated how, unlike so many other lakes, this lake did not have wealthy lake houses all along its shoreline. It was a completely natural setting, apart from a humble lodgeContinue reading “Fishing And Paddling In Montana”
