An old friend of mine whom I\u2019ve known since high school (who happens to live in Montana and I am going to visit in a couple of days) commented on one of my very first videos: \u201cit\u2019s amazing what one can get can get away with when one is completely unreserved about what one does\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

Words to live by.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, I depart on a thousand mile journey into the wilderness. I\u2019ll admit, I have both a lot of fears and a lot of expectations for this week long journey.\u00a0 My fears include: What if my car breaks down in the middle of nowhere?\u00a0 What if I run out of money?\u00a0 What if the weather won\u2019t cooperate?\u00a0 My expectations are ones I have self-imposed.\u00a0 I want to make the best ever Tour d\u2019Joko videos I have ever made.\u00a0 What if I wuss out and am lazy about getting the footage I\u2019ll need?\u00a0 What if I don\u2019t spot a single bison, bear or wolf?\u00a0 Up until today, I feared I\u2019d run out of memory on my digital video camera, but I bought a 32GB SD card today for $23… A couple years back, a 16GB card would have cost $100.\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019m heading off into the unknown, and to be honest, I am not 100% prepared for what might happen out there.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m maybe 80% prepared.<\/p>\n

That said, I want to recapture the spirit of the very first Tour d\u2019Joko, which happens to have occurred exactly five years ago this week.\u00a0 I spent a week on the road, and to my mind at least, what I captured on that journey was\u00a0 special.<\/p>\n

The first Tour d\u2019Joko ended up being chronicled it 21 video parts.\u00a0 Here a couple of the early ones.<\/p>\n

As a videographer, I have evolved since those days, so, content wise, there will be similarities but hopefully, some significant improvements from the first Tour d\u2019Joko.<\/p>\n

Ack!\u00a0 How to balance spontaneity with direction\u2026 this is my challenge.<\/p>\n

Visiting another National Park that begins with the letter \u201cY\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to be offline for the next week.\u00a0 See you all here in June when I start digesting the videos to come.<\/p>\n
