  • Arizona has some of my favorite places to explore as well as those I find less appealing. From strictly my own viewpoint, I find beauty is not only in the eyes of the beholder, but in their ears as well. Nature has a soundtrack. Let it speak.

    Your videos are always incredible, but this is exemplary. Beautiful, frightening, creative, and purposeful. I'll stop there, lest the noise of my words joins the meaningless cacophony of sound coming from the South Rim.

      I've done just that at Toroweap on the North Rim. I'm afraid of heights and it was the only way I could bring myself to peer into the abyss that ultimately ends with the Colorado River thousands of feet below.

    I really enjoy your videos quite a lot. However, this one was especially wonderful. Your approach to the edge of the canyon and the reveal of the river with only the sound of the canyon building as the river came into sight was emotionally stunning! I was overwhelmed by the majestic view and we could all tell you were too! Keep up your wonderful explorations, large or small they are all so enjoyable.

    wow! You are so poetic! I love your videos! I feel just like you when I am in nature and there are a lot of people around, talking and making noise... I almost feel anti social at times! LOL! But actually, I am a people person... just not when I am in nature. I like to be alone, and have the chance to meditate and hear the sounds of nature, the birds chirping, the wind in the trees...I just want to soak up the beauty surrounding me...

    I continue to watch and relish all of your videos, but I don’t always comment. So, I’m just chiming in here to register my deep and pervasive appreciation for the sights, sounds, and thoughts that you share, and the thoroughly informative, beautiful, engaging and charming ways that you share them! Poetry for the eye, ear, mind and heart. I tend to be cautious & timid about new adventures, but you inspire me to consider stretching beyond my fears to explore, discover, savor, appreciate and enjoy. Thank you so very, very much 🌺🌼🌸💐

      Hi Mike, As much as I'd love to offer more, I really can't. My style of editing and story telling is rather labor intensive, and I have nobody assisting me. If I must keep pushing to meet deadlines than all the fun, inspiration, creativity and quality will disappear. Slim Potatohead will turn into Yawning Yanni!!! I hope my regular viewers understand this. Thanks! SP

    Just got to see this one. Nice one, Slim. The last time I saw the Grand Canyon was 1964. I was a kid but still found it way too busy. Like you I seek out the quiet places that only reveal themselves to the quiet, peaceful and respectful. Thanks for sharing. PS...as a former professional musician, I enjoyed your very creative musical performance.

    OMW Slim what a great video. Breathtaking views. A few years ago at this same time we did a the train ride from Williams. I parked my RV in the Hotel parking lot. And yes not an hour later snow! And yes it was cold. When we came back the to the MH nothing worked, no propane no nothing. Drove over to a propane place and he said someone had mixed the propane with another fuel, he drained the tank refilled it showed me how to reset everything for $3. What an amazing adventure that was. As always thank you for sharing your journeys with us.
