Read moreAn ‘Ear Coning’ Demonstration
A few weeks ago I had been wind surfing in Vancouver, B.C. and got some water in my ear...a day later I began to experience an ear ache. My body does a pretty good job of healing itself, so I just left it alone for a few days. As a...
Read moreDAY SIX of my Salmon River rafting trip
Day Six Rafting the Salmon River For not having a “reserved” camp spot, we did a pretty good job of finding a neat area to spend the night. The spot we found was a bit of an alcove with a nice flat spot on about a 10' incline. The perched...

Read moreThe Fat Duck Inn is Walla Wonderful
The Fat Duck Inn located in Walla Walla, Washington is a charming and stately bed and breakfast. As you approach the craftsman style B&B for the first time, you might be deceived by its seemingly diminutive stature, but once you enter the “Duck,” as it’s often affectionately referred to by...

During my week-long whitewater rafting trip down the Salmon River, I captured a moose swimming downstream. This footage was pure luck—it was early morning and only a few folks were even up. I was shooting some intro videos when out of the corner of my eye, I saw something odd...

I get great joy in bringing exposure to well-deserving destinations that exceed my expectations and will assuredly interest my readers. Discovering...
Read moreArmor Lid Follow-up Review
If you’re a follower of Mike’s Road Trip, you know that I often feature applicable “road trip” and outdoor related products. About a year ago I reviewed the Armor Lid Tonneau Cover—since it’s been so essential to my travels, I thought I’d do a follow up. In addition to keeping...
Read moreDeep Cove: A Recreational Paradise
On a beautiful summer day, there’s hardly a better place to be than Deep Cove in North Vancouver, B.C. You can hang out at the Mount Seymour Provincial Park and have a picnic, or perhaps rent a canoe, kayak or paddle board. For the more adventurous type, you can hook...
Read moreGrey Cliffs Ranch: A Cornucopia of Activities and Luxury
The State of Montana is a capacious place where the wild still roam, the rivers flow unabated, and the hills roll into the horizon. Montana is one of the last places where you can experience nature as it was intended. I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Grey...
