The Route of the Hiawatha

The last in this series of videos, this is the third year in a row we've done this family ride. First time I have ridden the shuttle back to the top--I definitely prefer riding up, but being with the family is nice. This was on August 21st, 2010, the 100 year anniversary of "The Big Burn"--a huge fire in North Idaho and Montana that wiped out millions of acres of white pine and altered the U.S. forest service practices. Another fun trip.

Climbing Mt. Adams

A day after the Mt. Timp hike I flew home and went on this trip (July 2010). This is mostly slideshow with only one video. This one was actually edited on my iphone with the same ReelDirector App. Amazing. All the photos and video were acquired with a cell phone, and then the video was edited and music imported on the same phone. I do like iMovie on my laptop better, however. Previewing and checking sound levels is much easier. You can get the timing of the edits down better--not that I need to do much of that with these family videos, but it is much faster on the laptop. Sigh, a great trip.

Mt. Timpanogos Hike

Another video from a hike this past July while visiting Utah. I started mixing photos and video on this one. I actually made this one on my iPad with a program called ReelDirector. Not too bad.

Weekend in the West Kootenay

Thought I'd add a few videos that I edited recently. Gotta put them somewhere. I learn something new every time I make one. Hopefully they are getting better. Here is one from a trip this past May.
