Yes Please! More Nick over The Rocks! He has been doing Nick from Home during the Shelter at Home order, and being able to see what he is describing is Awesome! Thank You
He has a ton of hour long lectures on youtube where he invites the community to attend. He dumbs it down just a little since most of his audience aren't geology students, but it's very informative and very interesting. Here's one on the Bridge of the Gods landslide ua-cam.com/video/FVZYzHGvDX4/v-deo.html .
Actually, you got a lot of footage w/voice. I hope you and Nick can get together again soon to continue! His excitement on the subject is contagious! Thanks to you both!
Thia is way better than a drone. ..it involves humans and you are right there and i am seeing it with you and i am feeling the excitement as you see it... ..and for me its the first time.. Your commentary and other related info is not scripted and straight from the heart.. its just like i am sitting there.. Thanks for the trip.
Thanks! If you're interested in the building of my house, you need to watch this time-lapse of the whole thing: ua-cam.com/video/myhQ5lFkpng/v-deo.html
What a BUMMER about that footage. So frustrating I am sure. I do have to say that what you DID catch is awesome. Wasnt sure how I would like this, but it is fascinating with that guy!
I was as excited as Nick was! Breathtaking scenery and some geological history a real bonus to hear about. You’re forgiven for the ending, natch! We know there’s more to come. Safe travels, Maria!😊🚁
When I was 7, we lived in a new development at the base of Saddle Rock. A friend and I tried to hike to the top to see what was on the other side. (this was in the 50's, before helicopter parenting :-). We didn't quite make it, but now I know what it looks like. Thanks Maria!
Waiting on the call by the Discovery Channel to enlist you two for an educational show together, "Geo from on high"... Yes, you may have a large but local area to offer information on but it is ALL relevant to geology everywhere.. Local ariel knowledge and expert explaination is a wonderful combination and you two have an excellent rapore and personalities to carry off such a venture.. Loved the length of that train...
Thanks for the tour with the guest. Clearly he was seeing the value of cruising around and getting good views quickly. I wonder if it would be valuable to strap a good 360 degree or 180 stereo camera to the bottom of the helicopter. I bet drying cherry trees in 3D would be awsome...and very unique. Thanks again for taking us along.
I'm thinking really hard about a GoPro Fusion but I'm not quite ready to take the dive yet. I'm concerned not only with the cost of the equipment (which is somewhat low right now) but also the cost of the time to learn how to process the resulting video. There are only so many hours in a day and I do have to do some paying work to earn a living. :-(
@@FlyingMAir make a living. Yep, that's the cost. Editing takes a bunch of time too...thanks for doing that for us. I watched this one on my computer screen instead of the big TV. I could actually read all the instruments, except the fine print on the engine/rotor rpm gauge....thanks again for the view.
Many years ago the company I worked for was prospecting for a lithium mineral called spodumene which occurs in long white crystals. It was decided to use the company helicopter (Bell 206 Jet Ranger) to let the geologists spot boulders from the air and they had a great time for about two weeks! Unfortunately, many of the boulders were just quartz with no spodumene, but it was necessary to test the idea anyway. Other surveys, magnetic and radiometric were flown using helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, mineral exploration has always had a close relationship with aviation!
When I lived in AZ, I flew for a couple of prospectors looking for "quartz blowouts" that often indicate the presence of gold. I doubt it came to anything, though; the following year I found one of those prospectors sleeping on the bench outside the airport office, apparently homeless. But yes, you can see all kinds of things from the air that you can't see from the ground. It was a real thrill to show Nick some geologic features he hadn't seen before.
Sounds like if you want to be 100% certain that your camera is recording, you need to double or triple up the cameras. Pretty soon, your helicopter will be cluttered with many cameras, most as back up, but you'll know it's a high probability that 3 didn't fail at the same time. I've had all my laptops, tablets and smartphones and Hi-8 video camera fail on me for the last 15 years. Maybe that's why they use film cameras. Expensive, old and reliable, no electronic circuit boards that can fail, pure mechanical machines and you can see and hear they are working.

So cool to see this perspective of areas I've heard about in Nick's lectures!
Fascinating geology lesson. Thank you Maria and thank you Nick.

Thanks very much. I'm one of the few (apparently) UA-cam creators who follow their advice: "Keep it real." Real might not be exciting, but it is real.
This was really interesting -especially the building of your house! More videos like this are always welcome!

Nick takes all the guess work out of any of my videos featuring geologic formations. I look forward to flying with him again.
Thank you so much! Absolutely beautiful!
Fantastic! I could listen to Nick for hours.
Second part is as good as the first one. Hopefully you and Nick can do a series on the local geography. Thanks for sharing.

It's a long climb. I did it once from the northwest side.

Thanks Maria, love these series of videos.
Love your videos, I'm a admitted Nick Fan.... so awiting the last part of the episode...
I have enough footage on hand for at least 3 more videos. They'll be released over the next few months.
I've watched a few of Nick's videos now. What an enthusiastic and knowledgeable educator he is. The flying was ok too. ;-)
LOL.

I'm working on a mount that will make it easier to see the instruments. I think I'll have all of the pieces next week.
Beautiful flight and very interesting, thanks Maria!
Great video despite the technical failure!
Great video as usual Maria regardless of the ending 👍
Awesome video and very interesting 😎👍🏼
I love all your videos! This is so interesting for those of us who have spent a lot of time that area.
Fascinating!! Thank you 🌟
Wow ,Great scenery.You two could make a great Documentary on geological formations in the area.Thanks for a great video.

Good morning 👍😁. Loving The Videos Lady Bug, fly safe!!!
love this stuff
As always great video
🤣 I'm officially excited! A person who loves his job. 👍
You and Nick need to fly up Moses Coulee all the way to the Moraine from the last Ice age, Moses Coulee is a beautiful picturesque Coulee.
Hey Townies, we back in business again
Still fun!
Yay Maria and Nick! I do love his enthusiasm. ⛰️ Boo GoPro, for failing at the most inopportune time, again! 😖
Lots of orchards and lots of vineyards! I teach wine and food classes!!!
Wow !
Sounds like Nick will be requiring your flying expertise again, Maria.
Nick’s knowledge makes me think we are like ants in the backyard, our presence is almost irrelevant.

What is the reason for the name of Jumpoff ridge, usually with a name like that then it's got history.
Sorry! No idea!
No voices. Just engine sound.
Are you saying there were no voices when you watched the video?
