In 2006 and again in 2008, I canoed 116 miles down the Green River to the Confluence with the Colorado River, where a jet boat took us up the Colorado River back to Moab, Utah. Much of the trip was in the majestic scenery of Canyonlands National Park, and numerous side hikes were to see Anasazi ruins and other remnants from past hearty inhabitants of this high desert terrain.
The video highlights the scenic beauty of the river, side hikes to various sights of interest, camp life, critters we saw, and the journey back up the Colorado River, whisked along at 25 mph on the jet boat.

Florida Wildlife Video
One of my passions is the outdoors, and couple to that a love of photography and the result is tons of photos, and more recently, video footage. So combining these two loves logically results in the following video, comprised of photos and video of 51 species of birds and beasts (all identified by name) that I've photographed on trips to Florida over 7 of the last 9 winters, mostly taken while hiking, biking, paddling, and camping in natural areas. Participation in various Sierra Cub Outings and Road Scholar/Elderhostel programs also contributed to these photos. Included are many birds but also many gators, monkeys, snakes, owls, hawks, armadillos, turtles, tortoises, fox, manatee, crabs, and even the famous Florida Reckneckis.

Acadia National Park Hiking, Biking, and Kayaking
This 2005 Elderhostel/Road Scholar program featured 2 kayak trips on Frenchman Bay, 2 hikes in Acadia NP, and 2 bike rides, one of which was on the carriage roads. A walking tour of Bar Harbor and alecture on "lobstering" were also wonderful activities, all of which are shown in this video.
