Cliffhanger Trail in Moab

I am greatly troubled by modern technology.  However, after watching this most enjoyable, funny mishap, I guess I can appreciate some of it.  How many stories have we been told by generations before us that would have made amazing videos for future generations to enjoy?  With the ability to film, edit and post within minutes is pretty extraordinary.  Cheers to more videos!

AWESOME!

I REALLY need to mooch a ride from you guys next year.

It is being discussed in committee now

Very impressive work on Pritchett . Who was with you, what kind of rigs and how did they do?

I finally had time to go through all my GoPro video from this ride. This is basically a trail guide type video with the entire trail covered but the speed is bumped up to 8 times in order to get an all day ride into a 30 minute video. I have used video from Jeff and Ted to give my "alternate views."

I finally got around to finishing my video edit, I'm not totally happy with it though. My GoPro mount was shaking, making the footage and sound terrible.... to cover it up, I added music which I would prefer to have done without. I stole some various clips from a few friends that caught some good footage as well. The drone footage is minimal, wish there would have been more and I wish I'd have taken more footage of the others, rather than pics. I know some won't care for the music, but I like it.... so...

Most of the footage is from Cliffhanger, with a couple shots from Moab Rim (Z-Turn) and the Pickle.

That's the Potash plant, they mine the material from underground sea beds that are millions of years old, let it sit in the sun in the evaporation ponds until it's dry and can be loaded into the train cars you see below. They ship it out weekly, it's used as a fertilizer.

No problem!
