US Outdoor Maps and Books

This is a reality video of what really goes on around here on a daily basis. Sometimes there are good things and sometimes there are not so good things. Just like all kids there will be times where they just will not get along with each other or agree on the same thing. If you are a father and have kids then you should be spending time with them and making wonderful memories. These two girls and their dad have fun days like these very often.

We never sit still and we find ourselves going from one fun adventure to another on a daily basis. There are many places in the USA that we call home. If you do not see us at one of our homes up north then you might see us in one of our homes further south. Vacation homes are perfect for getting away while still being at home. We will be taking our adventures even further south down into Florida in a few weeks when we go on Spring Break and we will record as much moments as we can without it interfering with our fun.

Brianna has a thank you message for being so kind and wishing her a happy birthday. It was Brianna;s official birthday last week and many were thoughtful and wished her a happy birthday.

We did some mountain climbing but did not catch it all on camera but we will be going again to reach our goals which are to make it to the top of the mountain and shout very loud.

If you would like to audition for acting or singing and would like to be on TV then be sure to visit our auditions website at http://www.all4tubekids.com/audition

Always be careful when hiking in the mountains or playing in the river. Have a competent adult with you when doing these kinds of things.

School will be out again soon so this mean many more opportunities to be outdoors in many other locations further away. Spring Break will be here in the middle of April.

Let us know the top 5 or top 10 things you like to do outdoors. You may post them as comments or as a video response to this video.

We have many prank ideas planned for the Spring and Summer so stick around and see what kind of prank these tow girls play on their dad. You never know what to expect around here.

We have some pop star parody music videos coming soon. Still working on the never say never parody music video.

We will be headed to Disney World in Orlando Florida! Looking forward to that adventure!

More comedy videos coming soon!

Re: The music used. I use Pinnacle Studio to create the video slideshows. This program includes some music along with the option to purchase additional individual musical scores. There are hundreds from which to choose. And that’s what I did here. The tune is called Until Forever. The artist is listed as Daniel Ho.

I’m not sure if it’s just a regularly tuned accoustic guitar or a Hawaiian tuned slack key. But, amazingly, it sounds like kīhō’alu. That’s why I chose it.

Now, back to the video: The Nā Pali Coast sits along Kaua’i's northern shore. It is the most dramatic and awe-inspiring place on the island and draws the attention of just about all visitors who come here. This demand to see it has local businesses scurrying to supply all sorts of site-seeing services from which tourists may choose.

By air you may go by helicopter, small plane, or even an ultralight. By water you may go by sailing catamaran, large boat, hard-hulled inflatable, or — maybe — a kayak (if you have the strength and know-how).

We have enjoyed seeing this beautiful coast a couple times from a couple different angles using those services. However, one method we have joyfully employed on each of our three trips to Kaua’i was hiking.

There is no better way to experience Nā Pali Coast than getting up-close and personal. And you will not find a better way than to hike the eleven-mile trail that follows this beautiful coast — from Ke’e Beach to Kalalau Valley/Beach. That trail is called the Kalalau Trail.

For day-hikers, you can freely hike the two miles to Hanakapi’ai Beach. For the more rugged among you, from that beach, you may choose to go inland an additional two miles through Hanakapi’ai Valley to Hanakapi’ai Falls. It’s supposed to be a great experience, but I’ve never done it.

That detour is an eight-mile round trip on foot in rugged terrain! Are you up to it? Most people simply choose the first two miles to Hanakapi’ai Beach.

If you’re not the big outdoors person, you do not even have to hike that far from Ke’e Beach to get some really awesome views of Nā Pali. Within the first mile or so you will find enough to satisfy yourself. It’s definitely worth a look since you will not have to expend too much time or effort and you may not even break a sweat! Just don’t blame me if you get there and feel the urge to hike further.

If you want to hike beyond Hanakapi’ai Beach along the Kalalau Trail, you will need a camping permit from the state. I’ve never done it so I am not sure about procedures, but I have read that the permits are limited and require many weeks of advance reservation.

One thing is for sure when hiking here: EVERYTHING is further than it looks! As the trail follows this zigzagged coast, everytime we came to an apex out towards the water, we could peer down the coast towards our destination. However, the view seemed like it never changed! We were hiking and hiking along yet it seemed as if we were not making any progress. This was one aspect that made it seem much further than the actual two miles hiked.

Hanakapi’ai Beach is dangerous if you plan on entering the water. Many have drowned here because of the rip currents. Be cautious.

The safest bet is to stay out of the water.

As a testament to ferocity of the ocean here, there is a hand-written sign at Hanakapi’ai Beach that reads: “In memory of all those who have drowned at Hanakapi’ai Beach, a warning of very strong and dangerous currents – most were only wading, these are just a few!” It is then followed with a short list of victims who have drowned here. Their names and hometowns kind of made me feel uneasy. I felt that it gave the place a hallowed feeling.

Coupled with the actual warning signs, they stand as reminders that Mother Nature’s rules can sometimes be tough — and deadly. Please, heed the warnings. Also keep in mind that rogue waves can also change the dynamics of what may appear to be a peaceful-looking ocean. Just keep your guard up and you shall have a great time.

Yeah, the question mark is there for good reason. I got talking to some random guy at Lake Louise who assured me the walk up to Wilcox pass near the Athebasca glacier was the hike to put all other hikes to shame. So yeah, I thought I would take a look. Hmmm, kinda oversold!

Tuesday 18th Aug 2009
Up well before dawn to see Venus and a very old crescent moon hanging in the gathering light of dawn. A spectacular sight over forest. Hit the road and by the time I got to the Athabasca glacier (only about half an hour later) the sky was clouding in. In the grey light I was the first in the glacier car park. Flight conditions were near perfect. The short walk up to the glacier was made more fun by the 1980 marker (about the last time I stood here) some 300m short of the present end of the glacier. Flight went well, very well. The glacier was big and open, and bar crashing on the glacier there was little that you could do wrong, although it was clear from my shortness of breath that this place was quite high. Landing was sloppy given the excellent conditions. Headed back to the Wilcox pass trailhead (it was originally the plan to do this first, but the glacier was just too much of a target of opportunity). I had bumped into some guy at Lake Louise the day before who had given the trail rave reviews as the hike to put all other hikes to shame. On the trail by 8.30, that put me at the second person on the trail. The hike was steep in the trees to begin with, and the weather cool, and increasing gloomy as the cloud cover increased. After only about half an hour I had cleared the trees and there were excellent views of the icefields opposite. However as I neared the top of the pass this was largely obscured by hills in the foreground. On what I assumed was the pass the path forked (unlabelled) with one path apparently heading on over the pass (still somewhat up) but it was difficult to contrive there would be any great views that way, or up onto one of the hills. I elected the hills path. By now it was not only almost completely cloudy but there had been spots of rain and the wind had gotten up and at times was giving exceptionally strong gusts (40 +mph). On the summit there was a good view of the icefields, although not that much better than just above the treeline. I stopped there to scoff what little food I had tossed into the backpack in my hurry to get going. Even with all the kit I was wearing, the wind was beginning to find purchase and I was getting cold (having been initially too hot when I started). The wind seemed to be lighter here, although it was still highly variable. Shortly after I got the plane into the air it got VERY windy, to the point where even at full throttle I was barely making any progress. While the recovery prospects were essentially 100% it was still a very hairy flight (even at only a couple of minutes). Indeed shortly after the wind got up it was simply a battle to get the plane back.
On the summit I had got pretty cool, but the heat soon came back as I started down. Went up to see if there was anything further up nearer the top of the very flat pass. After a km or so I decided it was going nowhere and headed back (the correct choice as it turns out, the path just looks round the back of a mountain). Back down by 11.30ish. Hit the icefields visitors center. It was a stunning place, you go through the door of this building, which is frankly like a building in the middle of nowhere and its like walking into a busy airport. I had a quick chat with one of the guys at the info desk before bailing. Took the drive back down the Icefields highway fairly leisurely, stopping frequently (the wind was up all the way back down the valley). Just driving through Banff is an exceptional experience. Set the GPS to get me to Dumheller. Stopped at a safeway just north of Calgary at about 6ish where I pugged in and made a video till they kicked me out when they shut(! Yeah they actually closed!!) at 10ish. Went about 10minutes till I was in a massive thunderstorm and could barely see anything. That was it.. I was tired and couldnt take that so I found some quiet siding (this was actually quite hard to do in Albertas flat lands where there is basically the straight road and a few turn offs for farms however fate smiled on me and I got lucky!). Kipped down for the night with trucks hammering by every 10 minutes or so. A little unsettling, but there were no sensible alternatives.
