Spring is Coming

Spring is just about here and that means it is time to get exploring again. Although since we have had such a mild winter here in southern New England I have managed to get some hiking done. Unfortunately, I haven’t been writing. But I have a plan.


The Plan 

I have never been one who has been ahead of the technological curve, mostly I am pretty far behind, and this is no different. What I have been experimenting with is vlogging on YouTube. So far I have not published anything but have just been doing some preliminary work, things like seeing if I can do this with the equipment I already have. I have also been researching different tools I can use that can be obtained on the cheap. I am all about being on a low budget.

Most of my hikes are unplanned in that I am not looking for anything specific. I just walk and see what is out there. My plan is to record what I see, commenting as I am walking and then using this blog to explain what I have seen, the history of the area, what the foundation or other artifact was, etc.

I should be making my first video this week. Stay tuned.


Update: 

Well, it seems I am having some technical difficulties with this project. For reasons I cannot determine, I have been unable to upload videos from my iPhone to YouTube. I can't upload them directly, I can't upload through my laptop, I can't even email them to myself. As I have learned over the past 20 years when dealing with computers, the longer it takes to find a solution to a computer problem, the easier the solution is. 

So for now, I will have to rely on posting pictures with written descriptions of my walks here.
