I like to go on multi-day kayaking adventures, and I decided it was time to make some changes and modifications to my kayak to make it easier to haul gear on those trips. (Click here if you don’t see the video below.)

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.)
