4 STATES, 11 DAYS - DAY 9

4 STATES, 11 DAYS – DAY 9

Today is my last full day in Colorado! So we decided to go up to Ganella Pass, and hike around! But the snow was super deep in some spots, and we were a little ill prepared!

Once we got to the spot where we decided to turn around, we pulled out the inner tubes and sled down the slope by us! So much fun!

I’m so thankful for…

4 STATES, 11 DAYS – DAY 8

Today is mostly a driving video! We left Utah and head to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico! Such a quirky town! The hot springs hotel we stayed at was SUPER badass! I would highly recommend staying there 2 nights, so you can fully enjoy the relaxing relaxers the place provides!! Now I know why Courtney likes to make a trip there…

4 STATES, 11 DAYS – DAY 7

  On today’s leg of the adventure, we leave our super cool mountain top campsite and head towards New Mexico! I have always wanted to stop at 4 Corners National Monument, and Courtney made that happen!! It’s kind of underwhelming if you ask me.. Then we head to Shiprock, New Mexico! The rock, “Shiprock” is super protected!! I would…

4 STATES, 11 DAYS – DAY 6

Today started off with a dip in the cric, before we headed off towards Monument Valley! It was super packed when we first drove through so we decided to check out the Utah/Arizona border, and then cruised to “The Worlds Largest Gift Shop” before stopping at the perfect spot to get our photo taken in front of the 3 pillars! We cool…

4 STATES, 11 DAYS – DAY 5

Today we packed up and left Moab and headed to Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Park! The scenery along the way is just too cool! I can’t believe it! Do you ever find yourself asking, “how did that get there?” Because I sure do!

  How awesome is this? How did it get there?

Nope, not shooting a Subaru Ad. But if they would…

4 STATES, 11 DAYS – DAY 4

On todays leg of the trip, we leave Evergreen, Colorado and make our way to Moab, Utah! I absolutely love Utah every time I visit! Moab might be one of my favorite places, and HAVE to take us back one day with the Jeep!

Here are the photos I took from today✌🏼

SpaceX Falcon 9 Sonic Boom from Lompoc, CA 6/12/19

SpaceX Falcon 9 Sonic Boom from Lompoc, CA 6/12/19

I’m so thankful to have grown up next to Vandenberg Air Force Base all my life, and have gotten to see all of these rocket launches over the last 28 years of my life! I feel like my parents when they talk about how crazy it is that we have these phones in our pockets that are basically computers, when I say “CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY’RE…

4 STATES, 11 DAYS – DAY 3

Day 3 of this adventure! Today started off with some awesome breakfast at the Wildflower Cafe and then take a walk around the Evergreen Lake! After that we took a drive up Lookout Mountain, which had the most incredible views! If you’ve watched the last 2 videos, you’ll know that I shipped a package to myself with everything I…

4 States, 11 Days – Day 2

Day 2 of this Colorado adventure!! Today was mostly spent driving around Evergreen and checking out all the beauty the town has to offer! Then we changed the oil in the Subaru, before heading to Downtown Denver, where after sharing a pitcher of Sangria, we decided to head to the tattoo parlor..

Thanks for watching!!

4 States, 11 Days – Day 1

For the past 11 days I have been traveling around the Southern Mid West states, through Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico! This trip all started because I didn’t want to meet @Courtneywentrougehalfway to visit Shiprock, New Mexico! Meet halfway in New Mexico? Yeah you read that correctly.. Fun fact, Courtney lives in…

Hiking to the Manzana Schoolhouse - Practicing Shinrin-yoku

Hiking to the Manzana Schoolhouse – Practicing Shinrin-yoku

No I’m not homeless, but I feel most at home away from home..

For Cinco de Mayo, my Cousin, her friend, and I, hiked to the Manzana Schoolhouse! I’ve only backpacked to it once, and have been fortunate to fly over the area with my Cousin Trevor! The hike is only 18ish miles round trip, and we made it in about 4.5 hours, with only…

I think it would be cool to break down my old videos and talk about what I was thinking when I filmed and edited it! To start this off, I picked one of my favorite Moto edits I have ever made! This one is from February 2nd, 2015, and has 232 views(4/19/19).

The video starts off with Strobe by Deadmau5. I was thinking that would be…

  If you look at the timeline, I only made 3 posts to this site last year.. THREE! But I did manage to make 45 videos! Last year was pretty exciting to say the least! The reason for the lack of posting is because I was actually sort of locked out of my WordPress account.. Here’s why two-step authentication is kind of a pain in the butt if you lose it. In 2016 I was running into the “Need to free up space on your iPhone in order to take a photo” moments and was going through my apps and clearing out the ones I didn’t use at all. My computer always stayed logged in to this account so I completely forgot about it needing the two-step key, provided by the Google Authenticator app that I so easily deleted! Not to fret, I won’t come to realize this mistake until May of 2018! So 2 years later I end up getting a new computer and when I go to log in to my account it asks for the two-step code from the Google App which has been long long gone.. What I would do would be to edit everything on one computer, then AirDrop everything over to my old computer so I could post it to this site. Which is why there was only 3 posts last year. But after about an hour of live chatting with WordPress help, I was able to get turn off the two-step authenticator and get access into my account again! Stay tuned for more content this year and a new updated Flying90!

My first big adventure of the year was a solo mob out to the Carrizo Plains National Monument! Such a rad place out there, if you couldn’t tell by my recent post that that place holds a special place in my heart.

After that I ended up taking a random trip to Barcelona! I’m still working on that video (almost over a year later) and unfortunately its been so long that my computer offloaded all the footage to iCloud and the project got kind of jacked up in Final Cut, so I haven’t been very motivated to put in the time to figure it all out. Maybe I should edit it for a 1 year anniversary of the trip..

Right after getting home, the adventure crew wanted to backpack to the Manzana Narrows! I’ve heard of this place but have never had the chance to visit! 10/10 would recommend! The hike there is really easy! It is pretty much uphill the whole way there, but the grade is only 2 or 3% so you don’t really notice it!

After that I made a few videos just going on random adventures and doing fun things around the 805!

One of the coolest things I got to go to last year was going to the Surf Ranch for the WSL event! If you ever have the opportunity to go to the ranch I would highly recommend taking it! Such a 1 of a kind place!

Then we started getting ready for a week in Zion National Park!

Zion National Park is by far one of my favorite places I’ve ever been to. If I could, I would live in Springdale and visit the park as often as I could! Maybe one day, but then again I think I would miss the ocean too much..

After that is when my Cousin Trevor and I started flying over awesome spots and taking photos! (Also one of the 3 posts from last year)

In October I went to a Bachelor party where I met the legendary BrandonFPV and started flying freestyle FPV drones! Thanks to Brandon now this is one of my favorite things to do whenever I get a chance! This video is from my very first time flying one.

The last video and the last post of last year, Trevor and I flew over the Hurricane Deck! It’s hard to say what my favorite way to see the Los Padres area is, but flying is hard to beat!

Heres to new adventures in 2019!

CARRIZO PLAINS SUPERBLOOM 2019

CARRIZO PLAINS SUPERBLOOM 2019

This years Super Bloom has been amazing! I have been lucky enough to visit it twice this year!

The first time we camped for 2 nights right outside the KCL Camp! We initially wanted to stay at the Selby camp, but by the time we got there the whole place was booked full! So we went up the road a bit to KCL and it was the same situation! It’s crazy to see how many people are trying to see the Super…
