There truly isn’t anything like the SW. I lived there in the 70s and 80s. We hiked to the mouth of Sabino Canyon just outside Tuscan. It begins with a crystal clear pool that was ice cold but Arizona at that time was 105. We stripped and dived in. It was incredible.
I was back there a few years ago and tourists are not allowed to drive your 4 wheel up the canyon road to the midway point. They bus you in to an area you can hike around but many don’t take the time to head to the mouth which is still another 2 plus miles up. We did, back then walking around rocky terrain and jumping on boulders with critters all over the place, giving us a curious nod.
It was absolutely heaven.
Not many people hiked to the mouth of the canyon so it was pristine and not a human around.
There is a secret down inside the pool. I will not disclose it but the whole experience was just incredibly awesome. Great memories of the southwest.
I haven’t forgotten it now 55 years later.

WOW, the scenes are magnificent! At about 8. 30 looking across at a longer row of steep cliffs, there is a black line of something in all of them. What is that, bushes, a layer of rock Amazing as I've never seen the landscape through this lens before - just takes your breath away. Happy to see your family together and that all is well, even Cali. Merry Christmas! Your chicken coup is beautiful enough for a chapel! Can't wait to see what else you have in mind.

I’d like to also add my Congratulations to Emily and the family as it grows. Truly special times. May your lives together Emily and Christian be blessed with endless happiness, love, and adventure together. Shawn, thank you for the update and to you and your wife, congratulations as well. You have done well in raising a remarkable family. Oh, yea, Cali, I agree, not fair whacking that ball back and forth

Congratulations to your daughter and your wonderful family.
If you need help with your introduction videos of the wedding, please let me know.
You may remember me from way back in the day letting you know how your opening sequences were working or not working. It's quite understandable if you do not.
Regardless, I am still here, and always will be. I love your wholesome content.

Congrats Emily and Christian! Thanks Shawn for the happy news. Emily will make a great acupuncturist! You and your wife sure know how to raise a special family, Cali included of course! Look forward to the June wedding at the homestead. Good luck Shawn prepping for this milestone event. It will, be worth its weight in gold in memories.

Thank you for sharing about Emily. I have been wondering about her. There is absolutely nothing wrong with closing a chapter and opening another. Moving on to explore what makes us who we are so that we can live our best lives. While I miss her content, I’m so excited for her and Christian’s new beginning. Let the adventures begin!

Good for Emily. Evidently her concussion healed without any residuals. Arizona is a beautiful state to visit! We moved here in 1966. I lived in Ky for ten years but the old asthma kicked in again so I had to come back to AZ. I live out in the Sonoran Desert S. of Wickenburg. I'm 87 and I love it out here!

Very happy for you and your family that Emily is doing better and seems to have recovered from her traumatic brain injury (TBI. It is good that she has found a good man to be her life partner. May you and your family continue to be blessed from your hard work. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Been to Arizona many times, such a pretty state. I know it was recently devastated by fires, but if you get a chance to go to the North Rim Grand Canyon it is completely worth the effort. Just stellar, and IMHO easily the prettiest side of the Grand Canyon. Have a Merry Christmas you all.

Good info. I figured she had moved in a different direction as in. a relationship. But maybe her and future husband can appear in your videos from time to time. I love the Sedona segment. I went there once a few years ago. A fantastic area. Utah has great parks too.

Beautiful video, thank you!
The aerial videography is amazing as always.
Through the videos, I saw your children grow as I did mine. The important part is that they are becoming their best.
Best wishes to your family, greetings from Texas
