While my RAV4 was at the body shop getting fixed, my insurance company provided me with a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. I took it on a little overnight trip and slept in it. This video is about that trip. Sorry for the video and especially audio issues with this video, but all videos after this one were filmed with the new camera. It looks and sounds great. Stay tuned for the next video to come on Wednesday. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

It’s been called “the Machu Picchu of America.” While maybe not quite as spectacularly situated as Machu Puchhi, the Native American Ruins of Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico are numerous, enormous, expansive, and very impressive. In this video I spent a day exploring the area’s famous (and some not-so-famous) ruins and rock art. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

I had an amazing day in the mountains and deserts of southeastern Arizona. First up was a great hike through the heart of Chiricahua National Monument, and that was followed by a leisurely float down a remote desert river. Talk about a great day! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I go over a couple of great $15 camping chairs from Walmart, of all places. These chairs are small enough that you’ll never need to take them out of your car. I also go over a couple of modifications I’ve made to my chair. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)
