SVSeeker on Vacation

- I recently attended Oracle Open World in San Francisco. I choose to drive out and back and changes to "SQL Developer" and "In-memory tables" aside, what I really got out of this trip was a renewed appreciation of our world and a full charge to my batteries. By the last day I wanted nothing more that to get back to my projects. This video is really for me. I'll use it to reconnect to those feelings for time to time, but I hope it triggers a little enthusiasm for life in you as well.
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful scenery and adventure.
Enjoyed watching...thanks for bringing us along.
Awesome! Thanks for taking us along....
Thanks for sharing this. I love to see the boat being welded but this was a lovely change and very inspiring. Thanks from UK. Batteries full!
Glad you could take a vacation. Thanks for sharing. The production values of your video are outstanding; great camera work and use of music. If that database job or boat building doesn't work out, you have another skill to fall back on. I been luck enough to have visited Canyonlands and Mesa Verda, very beautiful.
craigleemehan Thanks. That was my first time to Lee's Ferry and I'd not been to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon since I was very young.
Thanks for the memories ! Did most of 2 years ago mind blowing awsome country you live in!!!
Great to be reminded of the places my wife and I drove around on our honeymoon. Thanks.
Great video, we have such a wonderful country.
Thanks for taking us all with you on the trip. I enjoyed seeing many places I have visited and seeing a few new ones.
That was very enjoyable and well done, thanks for sharing.
Looks like a fun trip and a reminder of *why* you are building.
David Kirtley Yes, travel is on the list, but the act of building is great fun too.
Great video thanks for sharing!
Wow, quite the road trip. You hit many of my favorite places in the southwest. Awesome.
Doug,
Thanks for bringing us along. I need to start planning a family cross country trip for this summer.
Joe
Loved the video. Such an awesome country we live in.
Nice trip, thank you !
Just love your country hope there is another vid soon :)
I haven't been out west in over twenty years and frankly I'd forgotten how beautiful it can be out there, thanks for sharing Doug!
So as I'm watching, and enjoying, and wishing I could see it just a little better, (After my 2nd sip of my morning coffee) it hit's me. CLICK ON FULL SCREEN you big dope.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you had a chance to recharge those batteries.
Well, now I have to watch again in FULL SCREEN.
I enjoyed it, thanks for sharing Doug.
This was a great vacation video ! Itvs very well put together as always ! Keep up the great work :-)
Hi Doug, Well it certainly re invigorated me by just watching. I'm totally envious of the open wild lands in the States Living as i do in a rather claustrophobic UK. I'm looking forward to viewing some of your projects and the efforts of the miniwelder and third hand you have he sure is switched on!
enjoyed your vacation really relaxing
I grew up out in the west. Have been to most of the places in you video. Live in Michigan now and really miss the west. Don't get back quite enough. Your video does, indeed, help me to reconnect too. Thanks a bunch. You're quite a videographer.
Gorgeous landscapes..., i hope to visit america sometime...
Some of those views brought back memories of when I drove from Cal back home to Texas when I got out of the army! You enjoyed some of the most spectacular scenery in America! I'm sooo jealous now! :))
Glad you got to take a break and see it all in person. Now get back to work! :P
Very cool, thanks
35 years ago I remember visiting places like you just did, and oddly enough it was due to being a data base administrator for a short lived product from Ashton Tate.. dBase III. Thanks for the refreshing revisit and bringing back a lot of those memories Doug.
Ha! I cut my teeth on DB3. Even taught classes on it while we lived in Grants, NM.
Neat trip. I was born and raised in the Taos area, and still live nearby. Thanks for visiting northern NM - I hope you enjoyed it! If had known you were in town I'd have bought you dinner!
Amazing country
very cool, would like to see some of those in person myself. - Bryan
Liked the video and noticed you captured a lot of the same things I find interesting, boats, bridges, industry and choice landscapes. I had a neighbor that captained boats for owners wanting their boats to go from SF to Hawaii. They would fly over and meet their boats in the islands, then fly home and have their boats sent back. He told me it was stressful being responsible for those expensive toys. Also mentioned that there are a lot of tricky currents in SF bay.
I guess you next vacation will be to the East coast and back. Thank you for sharing it with us. More people need to do what you have done instead of flying. I think as you did that they would appreciate the United States of America more. Can't wait to see the project progress. I have shared your videos with my Welding classmates and also my robotics club for inspiration.
Keep up the good work, best of luck.
Looked like a fantastic trip. And yea...America has so many beautiful places to see and visit. It's good to see that you took some time off...As I am in awe of your work ethic and what you have posted so far on your site. I sometimes wonder if you work 24 hours a day.
Great!
Had to come back and watch again for my lunch break. :)) Since I can't "thumbs up" multiple times... I'll just watch it a lot! :D
jamcat62 Glad you enjoyed it. I enjoy having it to reconnect. Nothing like sitting on the edge of the Grand Canyon to put life in perspective.
Looks like on this trip you were quite the nomadic fanatic. I was doing dishes and heard the theme he uses and had to make sure it was still an SV Seeker production. :)
Some of the most beautiful sights the US has to offer. Hope to see a few of them in person someday myself. Thanks for sharing.
OSHbots It's worth the trip, and it's all there, right beside the road.
at 1:32 the big assed thing hanging over your head remind you of home llmao love the videos
Cool holiday I've been to San Fran.& Sacramento cool
I have been to the maritime museum is San Francisco & the one in San Diego, neat place to see for sure!
Wow just amazing! i have never considered how many amazing sights there are to behold
In the US. in England we have a few like snowdonia 'wales' ben nevis 'scots' probably my favourite place is lake windermere in cumbria. One day need to take the family to the US it has to be done as part of lifes journey.
jamie mitchener I look that one up. It's a beautiful lake.
It is i used go there as a kid every year its where donald camble died just after setting the water speed record in his bluebird k7.
What a trip Doug - nice to share it with you.
Oh, you were here for OOW!
What can I say? - just a stunning video with great editing. The scale of some of those canyons is just something else and the bridge builders have been pretty special too!!!
Many, many thanks for taking the time and effort to do this for us.
Dan Whiteford Thanks. It's worth seeing in person. The images don't do it justice.
Very nice! I was just wondering when Coyote and Road Runner would pop up in the Canyons :) Beautiful.
/Anders
that lake water look great for dipppp
I figured I'd just watch the first couple of minutes to see where you went. Next thing I know, it's over. Very good editing! That's quite a few miles you logged. Thanks for showing me the highlights. :)
Next comming soon... that something is missing ;)
Greetings from Poland
Hi Doug!
That vid is exactly of the type of vid which feed the dream we have, here in France, regarding America: a COUNTRY, a PEOPLE acting in a life which is not necessarily easy, but allowing everybody to find a way through, reaching the target of an intersting and fertile project. I don't know if you were aware of the benefit you provided to the viewers. I can testify that you gave me and my wife a lot whith these marvelous pictures, which are so consistent with a notion you support astonihingly with your project: THE PRICE OF EFFORT.
Regarding Kay, this vid make me to understand that seeing her again is uncertian likely. But what is important are te things which are done, the things which are lived together. The period of life which is in front of us is microscopic with respect to the universal time. An intense past build foundations strong enough to withstand the future.
My best wishes. All the best for you, dear Doug!
François
Thank you François. Yes, and very well said. Kay and I have traveled those roads many times so it was a great time to reflect, regenerate and move into the next phase of life. Building the boat's tanks. :) And Kay will be around, we still are in love, just on different paths. Learning to live alone and follow our dreams at this stage of life is a good skill for both of us.
Looks like "Baldy Mtn" at the Philmont Scout Ranch (At 12:06) (Right around Taos)!
That is Canyon Lands, outside Moab Utah, but we drove the Kit Carson highway the next day.
Got to be wylie coyote his home rock ,, gotta beeee lolol
That looks like a fun road trip. You don't know me of course, but I feel like I know you after watching your progress for so long. If you ever get to Phoenix and want to shoot machine guns, look me up :)
Mann I wish I would of known you were in town I work right next to Moscone :(
Doug, next time take me you sure know how to vacation.
Please let us all know when you plan to come back out to San Francisco. We can visit the engineers that built the chips in your cameras, and you can use our cabin in Lake Tahoe, and our boat to launch the ROV from. I'll even show you were the sunken Helicopter is!
Anything we can do to help you while you are out we would be privileged to do!
That would be Awesome! We plan to be back in October of next year. Please write me at svseeker@ymail.com.
Will do.
What is the name of the first song you used with the slide guitar?
+knight2255 Sorry. No idea. It's one of the royalty free pieces in the RUclips library.
WOW.
yeah the pacific is always cold unlike the atlantic-always need a wetsuit in it and the san Francisco bay prolly has as many Great Whites as off the coast with all the seals.
I thought you might going to see Kay, but you didn't. I miss seeing Kay in your video
Yeah I miss her too, but she's going to be doing her own thing now.
Hey! I recognized my home! How'd you like the Mojave heat, and winds? ;)
Didjya happen to pass through Palmdale/Lancaster?
Nice trip! The video edit style seemed a little different
You & Kay are still together right?
Only in spirit. Kay's passions are taking her down another path, and that is actually a wonderful thing. I'd love her to be with me, but I love seeing her full of life again, even more.
SV Seeker I am still your #1 fan no matter what's going on with your life, I will be watching your video when ever you post up new one. HAPPY HALLOWEEN my friend!
you've been in the desert, so you're a prophet now?
Not sure you have time for a vacation. ;)
