Mt Democrat
Back in July we set out to do the Decalibron which is a hiking route that takes you over 4 x 14,000+ ft peaks in Colorado in a single day. Unfortunately, we only did 3 of them. This is the story of us going back to do Mt. Democrat at 14,155 ft in elevation. This is our last peak to do to complete the Decalibron circuit. It's a tough hike but a lot of fun.

The Decalibron Loop (almost)
มุมมอง 20หลายเดือนก่อน
July 24, 2024 - The Decalibron Loop out of Alma, Colorado. This is a significant loop trail that takes you across 4 mountain top summits over 14,000 ft in elevation! I want to thank Pat Burger for organizing and leading this hike. Kudos go Erie Lupidus, Adrienne Wong, Ada Kan, Pari JD, Ed Miron, Claude Paquin, Colleen Silan Mercer, Lauri Renshaw and, of course, me for doing 3 out of the 4 peaks...
Medicine Bow Peak
มุมมอง 32หลายเดือนก่อน
Medicine Bow Peak is a 12,000 ft peak in the Snowy Mountain Range in Wyoming, just outside of Laramie. It is a gorgeous hike but hard. The loop trail that follows along the lakes, up the ridge, along the peaks and back down to the trailhead is 7 miles with 1,720 of elevation gain. The tail is very rocky with bouldering at the top or hiking in a boulder field with a scree path to follow. But, th...
Mount Ida

July 10, 2024 - There are beautiful hikes and then there are the hikes that blow your mind! Mount Ida is clearly the latter. When you combine good friends, (almost) great weather, alpine tundra flowers, wildlife everywhere and sweeping vistas from the Continental Divide in Rocky Mountain NP, you are having a day like no other! Thanks for Ada and Pari for joining in our adventure.
Styx Live in Denver

June 25, 2024 at the Ball Arena in Denver, CO This is a compilation of a few songs from the Styx portion of that concert. Several are full length songs, a couple are just excerpts from songs because my arms got tired of holding my phone over my head for so long. Other bands at this concert were John Waite and Foreigner.

Ouzel Lake and Falls
มุมมอง 243 หลายเดือนก่อน
June 24, 2024 - We took off from the Wild Basin Trailhead in Rocky Mountain NP to visit Ouzel Falls and Ouzel Lake. It is a 10.5 mile out and back trail with 1,709 ft. of elevation gain. The views of Copeland Falls, The Cascades, Ouzel Falls and Ouzel Lake are breathtaking! We stopped to have lunch and enjoy the views of Ouzel Lake. One of my favorite hikes... and I've done a lot of hikes! The ...
Whitewater Rafting on the Poudre River

My Father's Day adventure was a whitewater rafting trip on the Poudre River for Adrienne and I. We went with Wanderlust Adventures with Derek and Josh as our guides in the boat. It was fun trip on a raging river. Life is good!
Northern Cascades

Alaska Road Trip 2023: As we approach the end of our trip, we arrive back in the USA to explore the Northern Cascades NP. Unfortunately, like most of Canada, a bad wildfire has a very big area of the park closed to visitors. But we found many other state and local parks to visit and explore. There is much in Northern Washington state left to be seen. If you enjoyed this video, please LIKE and S...

2024 Babysitting Grandpa Road Trip: On March 11, 2024 we took off for San Diego so our grandkids could babysit us for a week while Mom and Dad went on vacation. Along the route we decided to stop at some of the National Parks that we have never been to. The first of those parks along the way was Bryce Canyon National Park and it did not disappoint! We were able to hike the Rim Trail with it's s...
Skagway

2023 Alaska Road Trip: Visiting Skagway was a real gem on our trip to Alaska. It is a quaint and bustling cruise ship port that is rich in the history of the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. While we were there we visited the downtown, hike part of the Chilkoot trail (the bridge was out at mile 4) went out to the old town of Dyea, took the train up to the top of White Pass and hiked up to Lower Dewe...

What an amazing adventure this turned out to be. The weather was perfect and the trail was as good as could be expected. Probably the biggest struggle on this hike was overcoming my fear of heights. While I still have a long way to go, this and Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon have done a lot to boost my confidence that I can do these things. I hope you enjoy this video. If you do, please...
Haines

Alaska Road Trip 2023: On July 24, we rolled into Haines. While we were there we visited Chilkoot State Park, Battery Point Trail, the downtown area where we heard live music outside the brewery, the Sheldon Museum and Cultural Center, the American Bald Eagle Foundation and, course, the world famous Hammer Museum... well almost world famous. It was a great stop along our way. Toby enjoyed our h...
Way to go!!!such a wonderful group energizes one another’s spirit. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I really enjoy these hikes and making these videos. Colorado has so many beautiful places to explore!
thanks for taking me along....wow!!!
Beautiful hike it is, love your details of this hike!
Yep!… It just doesn’t get much better. We tried this hike 2 weeks ago and got chased off the mountain with 50mph winds and storm clouds.
it's a bit ridiculous. When Paul and Ringo will die there will be people stupid enough to be proud to say that they saw the BEATLES LIVE in 2040..
Apparently, you do not appreciate music for just being able to listen to a band that plays hits you enjoy versus whether all of the original band members are still alive. I've listen to great tribute bands (Brit Floyd being one of them) that were as good, if not better, than the original.
Splattttttt...
BOO BOO BOO There isn’t one original member in there quit parading around these tribute bands
I just like their music… doesn’t matter to me if you want to call them a tribute band… it was a great concert! Just for the record, Mick Jones is a founder and still the leader of the band. He writes songs, plays guitar and sings on some songs. At what point in time did Foreigner stop being Foreigner in your mind? My advice to you is if you can’t find something nice to say, scroll on…
BTW, I went and saw Brit Floyd at Red Rocks in early June. They are a Pink Floyd tribute band that is great! You should go to see them sometime. You might change your attitude and start enjoying music again regardless of who’s playing!
@@BrkAwa It’s just like the fake Lynyrd Skynyrd they’re parading around Lynyrd Skynyrd died in 1977. I was fortunate enough to see the originals twice. Any band that doesn’t have at least a couple of the original members shouldn’t be allowed to call themselves the old name.
@@BrkAwa Well, I saw the original Pink Floyd in 1977 in Chicago the animals tour. Nobody can replace Waters/Gilmore.
Perhaps you should ask what we think of the woman in the blue bikini with her tits hanging out. What is the difference?
What's wrong with the guy in speedos. I wear speedos. Just goes to show how much confidence he has and is comfortable in his own skin. The woman needs to piss off and mind her own business.
Gorgeous
It was gorgeous... it was also damn scary! At least for me!
WOW! So graceful and mesmerizing
It is certainly rare to be able to spend this much time with a free swimming Moray Eel!
WOW! lots of beautiful fish. Fantastic photography
Many thanks! I felt bad that I pissed off that little fish so bad he had to attack my camera... I'm guessing he saw his reflection in the lens.
WOW! This is by far the best dive video I've seen. I watched many as we evaluate future destinations. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s at leas 8 years since i been there
This was our 3rd visit to Alaska but my first road trip and my first to Homer. What a great place to visit! I especially liked the Halibut fishing and the hike up to Grewingk glacier. My wife and I will make at least 1 more trip up there to see the roads less traveled. Places you can only get to by bush planes or boats.
It’s Cook Inlet, not Cook’s. And squirrels are Alaskan squirrels, not bears. Are you trying to get someone killed? If you don’t know what you’re talking about, try not talking.
You are so right... it is Cook Inlet. Sorry I missed that one. I do my best to keep my posts factual and accurate. As far as people getting killed by my reference to Coastal Brown Bears as Alaska's version of a squirrel, I doubt that will ever happen. That's just my sense of humor bleeding through on my posts. In my next video, I am posting that my dog Toby is 'wild life' that was found in Seward. Again, I doubt anyone will travel to Seward to catch a glimpse of a wild Toby dog. With all of that said, if you would like to screen my videos before they are published, I'd appreciate any help I can get. All you have to do is agree to a 1 day turn around and subscribe to my channel. You appear to live in Alaska or have some significant knowledge of Alaska. I've only been there 3 times but love the state and my wife and I are looking to back at least one more time to visit the places that are off the beaten path... Nome, Utqiagvik, Brooks Falls, Kodiak Island, Sitka, Aleutian Islands and the Arctic Circle.
Really nice video! We visited Alaska in May 2023. We spent 3 nights in an AirBnB in Talkeetna. We took Talkeetna Air Taxi Grand Summit tour, and it was a beautiful weather day, so we were able to fly around the summit of Denali, Mt. Foraker, and Mt. Hunter, and then land on the Kahiltna glacier. We had to wear oxygen masks for part of the flight. Unfortunately some of the restaurants you featured are closed in May and don't open until June, so the dining options are limited then. The brewery and pizza spots were open, but I was disappointed we didn't get to try the famous spinach bread. We also got the chance to meet the Mayor, Aurora, when we were there and she was very friendly, accepting pets. Good luck with your channel!
We had requested to land on the glacier but the other couple in the plane with us wanted to pass so we did not. I attached a GoPro to the front pontoon of the plane and filmed the whole flight. There is a long version (90 min) and a short version (25 min) as part of our playlist if you want to relive the experience.

We was there about the same time you was last year. Cool little town. Had the best halibut tacos there. Nice video
Thanks Doug. I really loved Talkeetna but maybe because we got to do a bush plane flight around Denali. Where did you stay in Talkeetna? Our campground was back in the woods and full of mosquitos. We were ready to leave until I unboxed our Thermocell mosquito repellant and that was a gift from heaven. Once we got the hang of things we could sit outside by the fire and never be bothered!
@@BrkAwa we stayed just outside of anchorage at eagle River campground. We drove up and spent the day in that cool town. We used the thermo cells as well and they really helped. We also had those tennis racket bug zappers.
Interesting material. I’m planning an Alaska road-trip in may 2025. Very useful video indeed. Thank you !
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Our trip to Alaska was a trip of a lifetime. This was our 3rd visit to Alaska but our first road trip. If you get a chance, make sure to see the Alaska State Fair (in Palmer I believe) around labor day weekend. The best parts were the Lumberjack competition and the giant vegetable growing contests. If you want any advise on where to go and what to see, let me know. We will make at least 1 more trip up there to see the sights you can only get to by boat or bush plane. Enjoy!
cool!
Glad you enjoyed the video. There is lots more to come. This was a 3 month long trip for us. I am about to publish Talkeetna. Stay turned.

What a great video. I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to some footage from Fairbanks (and beyond). Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! This is everything I have on Fairbanks but our next stop is Talkeetna which was one of my favorite stops. It’s a hippie town and right outside Denali NP. We took a float plane tour of Mt. Denali while we were there. There is a short version (26 min) posted already on our channel as well as the full video (90 min). If you ever go to Alaska, you have to do this! Safe travels!
Beautiful☺️
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Karen. If you ever make it to Talkeetna, Alaska, you have to do this! You will never regret the experience and the grand beauty of that mountain. I live here in Colorado and mountains are my thing... but I've never seen anything like this! Safe travels.
We will be visiting Anchorage and Fairbanks this summer.👍🏾
Wow !! I have seen may pics & views from a long way away but that was awesome :)) Next time save a set for me !
I'm glad you enjoyed the flight. I feel so lucky that the pilot allowed me to attach a GoPro to his plane. If you ever make it to Talkeetna, Alaska, you HAVE to do this! you will never regret the money you spent to take this flight. Safe travels.
Thanks for the ride along :) Very nice , I had a little time to get away for a couple weeks in Sept so I drove to the Yukon camping , fishing , Hiking , I like the back country trails that are manageable with a full sized truck & a small trailer , With no set place to be at the end of the day, some days as little as a 100 km of travel but things to see, Hoping to go back to the Yukon for 6 weeks in 2024 if the good lord will let that happen, Safe travels I look forward to seeing more :)
Thanks for the comment. This was my 3 trip to Alaska but the only road trip. It took me a long time to convince my wife but she loved it. We will plan to go back in a few years and visit the roads less traveled! Safe travels.
We went to Alaska this July. And yes the road from Destruction Bay to Tok is not good. At least the frost heaves are marked in Canada. We drove our Class C to the Arctic Circle on the Dalton. We thought the road was bad from DB to Tok, well the Dalton is on another level of roughness. The whole trip was spectacular though. The Icefields Parkway was worth the trip.
We never made it to the Arctic Circle… next time! And, yes, there will be a next time. We love the Icefield Parkway. We spend 5 hours hiking on the Athabasca glacier which was amazing. But there are many other glaciers in Alaska that are amazing to hike to… like the Grewingk Glacier on the other side of Kachemak Bay in Homer. What other locations did you visit? Safe travels!
Thanks for sharing your adventure! I really enjoyed it as makes me dream!
Glad you enjoyed it and learn to follow your dreams! This has been on my bucket list for many years and it took me 4 years to convince my wife to do this trip. Now that we’ve done it, we both want to back and do the roads left traveled. If you really want to be grounded in Alaskan history, read James Mitchner’s Alaska before you go. It was a great audio book on our drive up the Alaskan Hwy! Safe travels!
I would like to live here!
Feel free to subscribe and I can show you many other cool places on our trip.
One of my good friends here in Fort Collins used to do summer gigs there where she was in her early 20s. It’s where she met her husband. She helped us plan our trip through this part of Canada which is so beautiful. I hope you get to enjoy many memories from your visits here. Safe travels!
You don't know, how I love this town! Thanks for your video!
Yeah... Banff is a pretty cool place. It was one of the highlights on our Alaskan Road Trip. I hope that someday you can make your dream come true. Safe travels!
Thanks for sharing
You are most welcome, Rick. This was the first stop on our 3 month road trip to Alaska. I posted the Denali bush plane flight pictures already. Check them out if you get a chance.
Got some good old scottish weather for your trip 😎
Not too much different that a gloomy day in Portland, OR where I used to live. There is not such thing as bad weather, there are just poor clothing choices!
Very nice Thank you for sharing
Sorry it took me so long to reply... I just figure out where the comment button is. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Very well done. Thank you. Like the museum part.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Marsha. If you have never been to the WWII museum in New Orleans, you really should go... and there is a great city that surrounds it that there is no way you can not enjoy!

Not sure what your asking here Chris...
nice video thank you for posting and sharing
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I am working on a whole playlist for our 3 month trip to Alaska during the summer of 2023.
Women can wear bikinis but men can’t wear speedos? Weird.
That's just my kids have fun with me on a vacation. It's not that men can't wear Speedos, it's more like DAD can't wear Speedos.
the problem was the speedo it was too big for him and his ass looked horrible in it
how did you celebrate dive 100.. the traditional way??
I surfaced and took a breath of fresh air! Is there some other way to celebrate? If so, I missed that memo.
Stupid ugly bitches, Whats wrong with a man in a speedo? If you don't like it stop looking. These horrible women (if you could call them that) should leave the pool themselves for being stupid bullies.
You stupid bitches. Youre so immature. I wish you'd gotten someone that would have put you in your places. Not your business to push on what someone is wearing. Do you think we like looking at your sagging white asses. Maybe we should say I cannot believe I married you fat as either.
prefer this man in just his speedos
Appreciate the comment but I've turned my speedos in for bigger britches!
What a bunch of immature bitches. Some of them are strutting around in tiny bikinis that show their entire assess and titties and they focus on some guy just relaxing in the sun. The guy is hardly fat, especially compared to some of the cow women in the video. Grow up!
you Stupid
y'all should stop...for his age he looks incredible in speedos and he should stay in them all summer!!!!
I was in my mid 50's in that video and raced bicycles at an amateur level. You can tell by the tan lines and big legs.
wow...that boy fast.
Those are the pros. Yes, they are VERY fast!
the man has a nice bod!! good video
I rememeber this fine ship. I too got the privelige to sleep on it, I even pulled night watch. Good video, 5/5
It's a pretty cool experience to spend the night on it. I'm glad I didn't have to fight in WWII battles in it though! That thing is a little claustrophobic!
Does that lady in the blue two piece think she is so hot to be pointing fingers?
She is my daughter... she is allowed to be embarrassed!
i love that submarine
Glad you enjoyed the video.
nice
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It was a fun night to spend on a a submarine.
I wish I could find a vid of little cayman's bloody bay where it shows the 5000 foot dropoff
It's nothing but deep blue when you look down. Nothing to see past 100 ft.
I didn't laugh but I couldn't stop smiling.That was literally so funny I forgot to laugh.
That was my family having fun with me. Apparently, I'm a man whore for wearing my speedos to the swimming pool!
