Gadget’s Airstream Chronicles

A podcast?  On this site?  Really, this site hosts podcasts?

Well yes, we used to host podcasts here regularly (you can check the podcast category if you don’t believe me).  And finally, another podcast.  See, first you need something worth podcasting, and day to day stuff isn’t always super interesting.  Of course, you might want to learn about my dish washing style, how to make perfectly browned Tater Tots, or secrets to dicing potatoes perfectly……

This podcast includes stills and videos from Anza-Borrego and Palm Canyon.  Last week’s trip was wonderfully fun, and I’ve finally started sorting the video!

Hope you enjoy the 48th episode, and hope you’re happy to see the podcasts again too!

Some fun music, fun scenes, and so many friendly people.  My biggest question about this festival…..???

Why weren’t you here???

Decided to compile some favorite stills yesterday and create a few slide shows.  And yup, an episode was born.  Also, this episode features 3 pieces from Heavy Mellow.  Be sure to check them out, and maybe even buy an album or two (they’re good you know).

Hopefully the podcasting issues with ITunes have been resolved.  If not, you can still view the podcasts at http://www.hikenbike.net/wordpress

Ok, adding yet another climbing video. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Andy, Brooke, & I went out to revisit the Perfect Idiot last week. And Andy worked it out. I’ve still got one spot to figure out, but getting there.

Enjoy the video!

Hmmmm….some flakey issues with podpress, but I’m working on it!

Several days ago we took another climb in the Granite Dells.  Yes, Bob is gone, but Andy is still here!

We did several climbs where Bob got me started back up again.  A 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7.  That’s what’s on today’s podcast.  We also moved after those climbs and headed over to “Perfect Idiot”.  That was the one that frustrated Bob and I a few weeks ago.  It frustrated Andy and I this go around too.

After the climbing, I’m definitely still spent.  Think I might have gotten ahead of myself on activities this week.  Whoops!

Well, enjoy the show!

Sorry for the delay in the latest podcast. But hey, it’s up now.

Today’s episode takes you to the Groom Creek and Wolf Creek area. Just a few minutes outside of the town of Prescott (all the fun stuff is only moments from the town). Several days ago I went in to investigate the area, and I was blow away by the variety of bouldering problems. Definitely another must visit for hiking, biking, horse riding, and climbing / bouldering!

Enjoy today’s episode all!

Not many podcasts lately.  Believe me, I have tons of material, but I’ve been working on a special project regarding Podcasting with Wordpress & Podpress.

My good friend’s Eleanor, Emma, & Rich showed up last Friday, and I’ve been busy showing them around, enjoying the rocks, and giving them a glimpse of what I like so much about Prescott.  Given they were supposed to head out last Sunday I’m guessing they like the area too.

This podcast includes some of the scenes we’ve all found so appealing here.  Hope you enjoy!

Warning: This episode contains some strong lanugage. Viewer discretion is advised.

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!

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.
