Видео

There is a lot of stuff here when we know how to look! A lot of my videos are about looking at hidden treasures!

It's a short love affair, and unrequited.

It is an interesting idea for a video, I wish I would have pulled it off better...

@@glowingfish you did a good job

@@ilovetoexploreoregon206 Thank you, I try.

Well, don't let my video discourage you from actually seeing it in person! It is nice!

@@glowingfish Thanks, I think I'm going to get down there next weekend, if it's decent weather!

It was pretty good! Of course, I think all hikes are good hikes!

@@glowingfish me too

It's getting too late in the year for it.

I try to be!

I actually do want to bike to Pinesdale. Just not as much as I want to bike other places.

It really is! Sometimes things are most beautiful when they are a little sad.

That is the mystery!

@@glowingfish good luck to anyone who tries to figure it out.

@@Donika691 Maybe it will become a viral video as people try to figure out what is going on.

@@glowingfish who knows lol

I also lived in Montes de Oca when I was in Costa Rica, and since I am from a cool part of the United States, it was hard when I visited the coasts. I finally discovered that I preferred Cartago because it was much cooler.

I worked at Apple Day in 2011, so I know it is at least a decade old. Don't know how much past then! It also might have been celebrated in a different place/different way before then. Since it is on the site of the farmer's market, it might have only started after the Hamilton Farmer's Market started.

It was quite a party! It actually got a bit claustrophobic, so I headed out. But it was quite a party.

When I first came here from a background in the Willamette Valley, it did seem stark--- all those bare cobbles, when in the Willamette Valley they would be covered in a tangle of plants. But after a while, my perspective changed. Now when I go back to climes like that, everything seems neon green, especially in winter!

You are very welcome!

I will be making lots of videos!

Is that from the Bjork song? :)

@@glowingfish I don’t know that song It’s from a late 80’s fantasy movie called Ladyhawke About a woman who was a hawk by day and a woman by night She falls in love with a man who is a wolf at night and a man by day

@@ilovetoexploreoregon206 Ohhhhhh yeah I know that movie, and they have to wait for an eclipse to finally meet?

@@glowingfish yeah That’s right

I am trying to think of where I said the word "dumb hicks" in this video? Can you give me a time stamp for that?

Also, feel free to make your own videos and put them on RUclips. If you want to share your own experiences, it is really easy to make a video and put it on RUclips.

It is best to be cautious, but of course, many people walk on the shore...but when I am walking on the shore, I always keep one eye on the water. And I avoid letting the water even run up and touch my ankles. Like if the water is even getting close to my feet, that is too close for me! Of course, you can see from other videos that I've made in Northern California/Oregon that other people do get closer to the water...but I feel "better safe than sorry".

@@glowingfish Thank you for replying to me. I live in a state where there is no ocean, so I am not familiar period, much less with an ocean like this.

@@StaciPS Yeah the Pacific Ocean is pretty wild! But I am always careful around water.

@@glowingfish Thank you for your reply. I am so glad I got some feedback. I will be careful.

You mean, when I made this video? I don't remember the bridge looking bad...maybe I should go back and rewatch it...

I just rewatched...looks like I didn't include any footage from inside the bridge! Huh, I don't remember what it looked like.

Thank you! Getting footage like this is a challenge, so it is fun when it turns out right.

That is one reason I started making videos---I had so many great memories of all the places I've lived and trips I've taken, and I loved looking at photos from a decade ago. Then I realized I might as well make videos and not just photos---there are so many places that I would have loved to have videos of. I've only been in the Bitterroot since March this time (lived here from 2009-2015), and if you look back it is Costa Rica and then the Pacific Coast. Pretty much weekly for the past four years.

When I was here in 2009-2015, I bicycled as far north as Lolo, as far south as Connor, and all the way to the top of Skalkaho Pass. I wish I had records of all those times!

There will be a lot more videos! Of many different places.

That is a great question! There are many bears here (I have a video of one) but I think this tree is just cracking after fire damage but I'm not sure.

It probably is...I don't know what type of rocks are specifically in the Bitterroot River though.

It was a good surprise!

I think so too!

And thank you for watching! :)

Glad you liked it!

I would have liked to make a video that covered the history of the area more, but that of course is a lot more work! As I understand it, for example, Grantsdale and Hamilton were basically founded by rival barons and Hamilton eventually won out. But a lot of those things I "know" are actually legends that I learned over 20 years ago, so sifting out truth from fiction would take a long time. But anyway, I am glad you liked this video. I have others of different places in the Bitterroot Valley.

There are a lot of things I used to know but have probably forgotten about history here. Some of which are questionably true. For example, there is a house in Hamilton reputedly designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, but I don't know if that is true.

I think that is new slang I don't know about. Is that anything like being yeeted?

I learned from my kids tha​t "yeeted" means tossed, and "yoink" means yank or grab. 😊 @glowingfish

@@MarkEtnire Well, no yeeting or yoinking for this little guy!

I am a very wholesome person! Most of the time! :)

It's a garter snake so it's very beneficial! :)

It feels even better!

We have a lot of them here!

Thank you.

You are welcome!

Yep, of course its not the best video, but most wildlife encounters are like that...I actually have a fox video from the same general location, and its basically like three seconds of bushy tail to let you know it is there!

@glowingfish The same happens to me. With wildlife they're gone so quick that by the time I can pull up my camera on my phone it's gone

Yeah, I was lucky to have my camera in my bag and be good at quick draw. But I think it actually works better, seeing a clip like this, then a perfectly narrated, steady shot.

Many hikers encounter bears in the mountains, but the only bear I've seen was on my street. If you haven't seen that video yet, you might find it interesting!

I agree that Whitefish has great values! :)
