Grand Canyon West
I’m on a mini-vacation right now. In honor of that I decided to post this video from my last vacation in June.
During our trip to Vegas, we went to the Grand Canyon West which is a new attraction opened by the Hualapai Nation in an effort to get tourism dollars to help their ailing economy. It includes the glass Sky Walk hanging over the canyon. The site is still under construction but the Sky Walk is finished.
Getting to this location was crazy. We turned down some road in Arizona and had to look out for a dirt and gravel road that would lead us to the reservation. The rental car was slipping all over the place as the road was hilly and bumpy. Driving behind any other car was difficult because the dust cloud was thick and we couldn’t see where we were going.Getting back was crazy too because Hoover Dam was closed and we were 40 miles from Vegas when we were told that we had to go back 60 miles in the opposite direction to take a detour through Laughlin, Nevada. The detour was at least 160 miles total.
This was my first attempt at being in front of the camera although the Sofa Cushion vs. Car video got posted first. My favorite part of the video is driving into the sunset on the bumpy dirt road at the end.
I like this video but I don’t like certain spots in it. I was not able to fix the audio. I attempted but decided that since I no longer have that camera that it didn’t matter. Also, the video is about 16 minutes long but the audio is only crappy in certain spots.

60 Seconds of Light
This 60 seconds of light is dedicated to the memory of the almost 3,000 people whose lives were lost in terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, as well as American and United Airlines six years ago today.
God bless their families.

Plane Spotting
Plane spotting or maybe just plain watching. At any rate, here’s video from Gravelly Point in Arlington, Virginia a little north of Reagan National Airport. We watched at least 20 planes land in less than an hour. The planes were loud and displaced a lot of air as you will see in the video. The wind moved my camera a bit too.
