    Oh, there's a mountain that no man has mounted I'm gonna stand on the peak
    Out there's a land that time don't command Wanna be the first to arrive
    No time for ponderin' why I'm-a wanderin'
    Not while we're both still alive
    To the ends of the earth, would you follow me There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see

    I hope you get to go to Chile. Beautiful place. Great vid with long mountain scenes.

    great vid as always FF! even though Crockett took the vid off, Indy showed out well, despite your best "sausage shower" technique.... lol speaking of, you mentioned before that you might attempt crafting a solar shower set up and was wondering if you were going to go ahead with that and seeing you: perform bike maintenance as well as a bearing change and brake job on the van, know that the work will be simple for you... :22 as soon as you said those words, I had to chuckle as I pictured the first van lifer I can think of hearing about..... Saturday Night Live's Chris Farley's character who was a life coach/inspirational speaker who: "Lived in a van down by the river!" lol...... that character was before his time.....

    Cool. I worked in a diamond drilling camp in the Wheaton River area in 1985

    Zooming in on the van really put things into perspective.

    Better to have the river stop you on the way to than on the way back

    Awesome drone footage! When your on top of a mountain and you see for miles it really makes you realise how small we are.
