This footage is of a brown black bear I spotted driving north on route 39 in British Columbia, BC.
The day before, I spotted 16 bears in a single day.
It sounds like an exaggeration, but really I believe I spotted more than that, but only confirmed 16, since this was the number I could have certainly taken footage of, if I had not gotten tired of collecting bear videos…

Driving north towards the Yukon in Canada, I found myself in driving through fields of burnt forest.
This is from the far north of British Columbia.
After breaking from a partial doze (I can drive just fine while in a wakeful dream state), I found a nice rest area to pull aside, to record this video from atop a nearby hill.
There were several lakes nearby, one somewhat turquoise, although it isn’t as obvious in this video, without the sunshine that was earlier illuminating them from a break in the clouds.
I was driving hours and then realized how many spots there must be, just like this one, in all the land that does not have roadways traversing them.

I was in need of a break, and decided to take a morning stroll in Meadview, Arizona.
I found myself in some interesting territory very quickly.
Expecting hardly a walk, I enjoyed a very nice hiking excursion.
The Grand Canyon isn’t really a place.
It’s just a chosen portion of long stretches of deep canyons around the Colorado River and related water bodies.
My alligatoroid Lucchese boots performed well.
Dressy boots tested for real outdoor work.
Hiking and climbing.
So far they are doing well and make me curious,
how much better are hiking boots from REI and other stores,
when boots without laces perform very well.

This is a drive down into a spot that would make an excellent starting point for long ventures into the Grand Canyon. This is near Meadview, Arizona.
The vehicle is my new Ford Transit AWD van, that I’ll be using for offgrid work.
