Another IPod sized episode here. And apologies, there are some bad language moments in the podcast, but I have edited as best as I can. Honestly, play around on the rocks and some off color language might occur.

With all that said, this is a fun episode. Climbing with Bob & Andy yesterday. Made for an interesting afternoon, and now I’m really sore. Typing is difficult today!

Keep in mind……. Climbing is dangerous. Gadget’s Airstream Chronicles is not responsible if you get the climbing bug, go out and try it, and find yourself hurt, sore, and addicted to playing on rocks.

40 Episodes into Gadget’s Airstream Chronicles.  Not bad!

Today’s podcast includes a few video clips from my recent trip into Sedona.  Additionally, a fun set of photos from my walk into Cathedral at Red Rocks Crossing.

For those of you who’ve continued to follow the podcasts, thanks!  I’ve got a question for you now…..  Would you like a larger format of the video?  I’ve now got a better way to compress the video, and have the screen at 640×480, while still able to play on your IPod.  The big difference?  Today’s episode is just about 30MB.  Had I done the 640×480 it would have been over 50MB.  So, larger video viewing area than the current format, and a larger file size as well.  Think on it, leave your comments, or drop me a private e-mail.  Current video sizing is 320×240.  So, the video screen would double in size.

Enjoy today’s show!

I’ve noticed that when I post several podcasts, the most recent ones always have more views.  Even if others are only a few days apart.  So, I think that means people check only the most recent posts, and might not go back a few days.

Just to help you out, there are a few ways to keep up with the podcasts.  First, on the left hand bar under “Categories” you’ll find a podcasts link.  That will bring you to all podcasts on this site.  You can go all the way back to the beginning if you like.

Additionally, I’ve worked out all the issues with subscribing to the podcasts via ITunes.  There’s a graphic link in the left column to subscribe with ITunes.  But just as an extra help, here’s the link to Subscribe to GAC through Itunes.

Recently I posted a photo slide show of several hikes in Sedona.  Today’s podcast takes you on the ride into Sedona, and a few video segments of the Devil’s Bridge hike.

This is a longer, and bigger podcast.  Sorry for the size gang.  A little over 50MB, but I think you’ll enjoy it.

Several weeks ago I’d commented on my initial ride into Prescott.  Sharp curves, interesting drops, etc. along route 89 from the south.  Well, as you continue out of Prescott and set your sites on Jerome, Cottonwood, & Sedona you’ll have another interesting ride.  Today’s podcast shows you a little of the ride.

For my 2 cents, I wouldn’t want to tow along 89A toward Jerome.  The road signs suggest that anything under 50 feet is ok.  Going through Jerome I’d have to say nothing over 25 feet!

Cute town, neat ride, and an enjoyable day.  But I’ll take the longer route just to avoid towing on 89A.

Several days ago I took a hike with my neighbor Bob.  In excess of 100 photos that day touring a canyon.  And once again, today I took a walk up to Devil’s Bridge (you might have seen some shots from my last blog entry).  I decided to wrap the photos of both walks together, slap some nice music in for a good mood, and make a new podcast. 

If you’re curious about the music, go to Magnatune.com and search for “Heavy Mellow”.  Love all the podcast friendly musicians out there!  Thanks so much all.  By the way, if you like the music at sites like Magnatune, please be sure to support the artists (buy their albums…..).

Yesterday I took another ride along the Peavine Trail. If you like “Rails to Trails”, this is a great one. 4.5 miles one way. Also it connects to the Iron King Trail. You’re not riding this one for jumps, crazy single track, or speed. You’re riding it for wonderful scenery and a nice ride.

The first attempt at a bike cam setup didn’t go so well, but I thought I should still post it. Way too shakey, but it was worth the effort. While it might be a little jarring, the scenery is still fantastic. And it will give you an idea of what riding through the Granite Dells in Prescott, AZ is like.

Hope you enjoy the show, and don’t come away too shaken!

This podcast episode might be a little shakey.  So, if you get motion sick, you might want to skip it.

My bicycle does not have a good mount setup for a camera yet.  Therefore, the ride along is just a touch bumpy…… 

Right behind Point of Rocks campground is a wonderful Rail Trail.  Hikers, bikers, folks on horses all share this trail.  The views are stunning.  I’ll look forward to another ride in a few days.

This episode was created after arriving at Point of Rocks Campground in Prescott, AZ. Really nice spot! If you’re ever passing through the area, I think it’s worth a stop.

Hopefully this episode will post properly. I believe the issues with the podcasts playing on the site have been resolved. However, the ability to download with ITunes may have been broken now. If so, I’ll be working on that today as well, and posting when it is resolved.

Just a site update.  Seems we’re experiencing some issues with the podcasts.  Trying to figure out exactly what is happening, and I’ll be posting a new podcast as soon as I get it all figured out.  Ah well, sometimes there are technical glitches.
