I took my boys camping in the Coconino National #Forest as part of a yearly church camping trip called #FathersAndSons Camp out. We do this with our congregation or Ward as we like to call them. It's a great time to bond with our boys and other men within the church ward.
We get to see a small cave, some lean-to's, make campfire food, and enjoy a fireside where we talk about the restoration of the priesthood.

My family and I headed up to Rexburg, Idaho for the 2017 #SolarEclipse . In this video, I show our adventure of driving to Rexburg and my attempt to photograph the eclipse with sub-standard equipment (trying to use what I had available as I don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a nice camera).
I show you my cellphone photography hack for photographing the eclipse with my LG V20, but at the last minute, I failed to get the photo to focus, mostly because I was already scrambling to get my ThiEYE action camera to work with a dead battery on my Smooth-Q gimbel.

We only had one very minor issue caused by one of the stock mounts being tweaked slightly, but with a little grinding on the mount and shaving of the elongated inner bolt hole on the skid, Joe got it to work.

The kids and I headed out to #CasaGrand #NationalMonument to learn about some ancient Arizonan ruins sitting in the middle of the #SonoranDesert.
For more information about this National Monument check out their website at https://www.nps.gov/cagr/index.htm
The kids had fun checking out the ruins, and earning another Junior Ranger Badge. We even got to see a very interesting video about these ancient ruins.
The video was shot on my LG V20 (Amazon Affiliate Links):

Escaping a nearly complete traffic shutdown as an accident blocks most of the lanes on westbound loop 202 in Tempe, Arizona.
The Waze app on my phone warns me too late about traffic, and I cannot get off before passing the accident that is causing the backup. Being in an off-road capable rig, however, gives me the advantage to get off the freeway anyway.
What the video to see how I escape the gridlock.
As I looked in my mirrors, I saw one of those big yellow taxi cabs trying to follow me, and all he did was spin his rear wheels and get nowhere in the dirt.
