T-6: GoPro is a Go

In Which Bob & Lisa Learn to Use Their GoPro

The GoPro

We finally turned the GoPro on today.  We learned to use the menus (nice touch screen), figured out basic settings, turned on voice control, and took a bunch of really bad test pictures of our fingers and our feet until we pretty much got the hang of it.

 We also downloaded the GoPro Capture and editing software and can now edit out expletives, add text, combine clips, and add music.  It took a second program to shrink the final file down enough for blog use, but we got that too.

 So with no further ado, the very first GoPro video.  Hopefully we get better with practice, and with new and exciting subject matter.






(Note: As promised, Dino did make an appearance.)

What a Great Ride! M Back Home in Our Garage, with Her Friend the Old Brown Audi With M back home in the garage, Bob and Lisa rested up a bit from the final days of hard driving, the mail opened, the mountains of laundry started, and a significant dent made in the unpacking, we wanted to take a moment and reflect on the totality of our Great Alaska Adventure. Let's begin with some stats: Trip Duration: 78 Days Start Date: 7/28/17 End Date: 10/13/17      Total Miles Driven: 9,179  Starting Mileage: 17,372 Ending Mileage: 26,551 Ferry Miles: About 800-- where M got to ride.    46 Stops for Gas Cheapest Premium Gas: Laramie, WY at the start of the trip--$2.599 Most Expensive Gas: Whitehorse, YT Canada-- $1.98 Canadian/Litre--  That's $7.50/gallon Canadian, or about $6 US / gallon.

Day 76: Astoria, OR to Ontario, OR

Image
Cars, Airplanes, and Snow! Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum, Hood River, OR As we checked out of our hotel in Astoria, OR this morning we watched our last ship go by. Kaimon Galaxy: Inbound in Astoria, OR Then we hit the road, bright and early.  The drive to Ontario was about 500 miles and was supposed to take a bit over 7 hours.  If all had gone as planned, we'd have arrived around 6PM while it was still light and we had plenty of time to grab dinner and relax before our next leg tomorrow. Not long after we left Astoria, we came across this giant Weyerhauser papermill in Longview, OR. Weyerhauser Papermill in Longview, OR Here's how the rest of the trip went: You'll probably have noticed that part of the trip took place in the dark, and part of it included driving through snow.  Clearly the best laid plans can go awry, as ours did-- thanks to mother nature, arbitrary variances in time, and car museums. As we were dr...

It's purpose is to chronicle our great Alaska driving adventure.  We'll be traveling in my (Lisa's) bright red, really fast, BMW 2015 M235i with xDrive. (In case you're interested, that really is 4 wheel drive, and is purported to do 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds-- perhaps we'll find out 😄) Bob Standing with M as she waits to get new shoes. The plan is for the trip is to begin on July 28 by heading up through Wyoming and stopping for a couple of days in Butte, MT.
