Who does this?

Exploration is my passion. I've always loved hiking to new places. Photography also has been an interest. Why not make a record of my explorations? So I set up a YouTube Channel and website in 2016. My wife gave me a book - How to Shoot Video that Doesn't Suck. With growing amateur skill, I've been posting hiking videos and information pages each month. Please enjoy these glimpses into natural California.

Why?

California has a wealth of amazing places to discover. If you're adverse to confinement, exercise your spirit of freedom. Another encounter with our magical heritage awaits.

Where to go? This Blog provides some suggestions with trail descriptions and hiking videos.
