Searching for Dolphins Ep-1 and 2

So I decided to go to Orange Beach for this Micro-Adventure in search of wild dolphins!

Most of our visit would include double red flags which I’d never experienced before. But that’ what long beach walks are for! Weather was pretty good overall but the highlight would be the search for wild dolphins!

We would visit our old acquaintance the Cold Mil Fleet for the search. We opted for the late cruise and did it pay off. We even got to see a mother and baby dolphin.

What was odd was we cruised in the bay that was only 12 feet deep. They use two boat to create an awesome wake and the dolphins love it.

So don’t forget that some micro-adventures can carry you to overnight places while still remaining affordable.

In my short film, Searching for Dolphins, episode 1 you’ll go with us on beach walks and the search for dolphins. You can click here to watch.

In episode 2, I’ll mainly focus on the Dolphins a lot in slow motion! You can click here to watch.

Running from Bigfoot Ep-3

So I finally get to visit the Expedition Sasquatch Museum in Episode 3 of Running from Bigfoot!

This micro-adventure started out as a running adventure in interesting areas… Known bear country. But what you may not know is that there have also been Bigfoot sightings! So I decided to go for a run that ended with me at the Expedition Sasquatch museum.

I must say that this place was really awesome. It was far more than what I was expecting and the owners were really awesome. They allowed me to video footage for my YouTube channel. If you’re ever in Blue Ridge Ga. it’s a must do adventure!
