~A Handful of Crumbs~ Crumbs gathered, Clandestine, From our daily buffet, Filling our own outstretched palms, ..and others, Along the way. They gathered closely, Then quickly flew away, As the sun rode high, And sweet music played. A lifted arm, Hands raised, Offered in silent supplication, With a handful of crumbs, Brought them back, In […]
Had to break up Monday’s travels into two videos. Here is the conclusion of my return to the Ice Caves of the Cascade Mountains. Any music experts out there, help me out. There are several “lead” instruments in the musical composition in this background music. I think they’re primarily alto saxophone and oboe, but I […]
In Episode 12 of the Tour d’Joko, Yellowstone Edition, I was preparing to leave the park, but could not due to the snowstorm that enveloped the park… on May 27th. The snowplows eventually cleared the road north, and off I was. Planning one final stop at Fort Yellowstone at the town of Mammoth, where I […]
My goal for this Tour d’Joko, Yellowstone Edition, was to make it as close as possible to an actual commercial production. You’ve yet to see the ripest fruit of that effort, but I’ve related some details about problems with government permits, bad weather and faulty or missing equipment, challenges which studio made stuff I‘m sure […]
Day two took me into Montana, a place I had never been, and one of our more unusual states. Physically, as you’ll see, the place is gorgeous (okay, most places are gorgeous in the month of May). Politically, although a “red“ state, they aren’t the invasive, up-in-your-business kind of conservatives. I was able to find […]
Yellowstone was magical. At times, I faced challenges that required heroic measures. It seemed to me that introducing the story as a fairy tale was the way to go.
The weekend off. Beautiful, unseasonably warm winter weather. A full tank of gas. Where, oh where in the Evergreen State should I go on the next Tour d’Joko? My last three trips had been to the east, hiking mountain trails (or trying to) in the Cascade Range. I wanted to see something different this time. […]
It’s December. I can’t help but think ahead. In two weeks, I’ll have my drivers license back, insurance and a dependable vehicle in which to travel. See, before my life changed 20 months ago, road trips, making videos and exploring the world were my favorite things to do. Few if any of you reading this […]
Four years ago today, I became a resident of Washington state, arriving here from California. Weirdly, I had three occasions today to say in three real life encounters, “it’s funny you should ask that, because I moved here four years ago today.” The first two were instigated by me as I tried to create rapport […]
