Hey friends, the adventure continues.
This was just supposed to be a fun experiment in doing a little timelapse up the mountain road and over to my friend's house to play some music. And this little bit of snow started falling.
Unfortunately, because of the slushy sub-layer, everyone on the roads was fishtailing, and it quickly turned into a pretty crazy situation. When faced with the prospect of going all the way up and over the mountain in that mess, and then returning later in the day in even more of a mess, I decided to drive back down the mountain, and go home.
The song featured in this video is from a record I put out called Stolen Shack.
Catch you on the flip side! Stay warm.

OK sorry about that, thank God you got home safely
Haha @mjphotograph, yes it is good I got back home.
Next time, i was supposed to go out and do things today, but here in the okanogan we had a huge dump of snow and the roads arent safe for leaving town so its a lazy day. Lots of time to browse steemit. Much love. Hope it goes better next trip out!
Thanks man! @dizzyjay / can’t do much when you are snowed in!
I love how you're getting out to film. Keep grinding man :)
Thanks man! This one was fun.
Man your music is awesome!
Your place looks so cold, I feel so happy that i'm in Thailand now haha
Stay safe on the roads!
Thanks @veganroma! I love the cold lol :)
cool exciting struggle👍
From someone from Australia, you don't know how majestic the snow looks like! Super jealous!
That is until you have to drive in it.
SNOW DAY!
They are not very generous with snow days, lol. 20 years of Mn winter and not a single snow day, not even for the Halloween snow storm that dumped 3 ft over night in the early '90's. Driving sucked for the rest of the season because they couldn't get the compacted to ice, snow off the roads, so they turned into ruts at -20F.
Mn? Minnesota?
Yep, erm, ..Minnesnowta.
I remember that storm @onnovocks :) I grew up partially in MN
I love the snow @kevinli!
I didn't snow that 🙃
Looked cold Hahah. Awesome on the Vlogging I'm public.
Yeah man :)
I'm inspired to get out and vlog in bad weather today 😩
Haha! Something fun about it :)
Down hill runs are never a good idea in these conditions. Love the tune!!
Thanks @onnovocks!
It´s nice to have snow on the roads! You can go drifting without destroying the tires :D
Haha. Paradigm shift :)
Nice! You got home safely!
But why you didn't drive up more? You got Volvo! It's the beast! Safe beast!
:D
It was slip slide already! It was slush and ice under the snow ... Usually I would have gone :)
Uhh.. ok. :D Then that was a wise choice! :)
Well played @drkent, I've had some of my greatest spin outs in that kind now snow. Certainly wouldn't want to play that out on the top of a mountain though.
Glad you made it back alright. Loved the musical vibes!
No doubt :) And thanks my friend @axios!
Oh man do I know the feeling of getting stuck in the snow to well. Last year lived on the summit of a mountain and we had a record snowfall year. You really have to submit to the weather conditions and pick your battles wisely. Glad to know you made it home safely!
Really nice music during your b-roll section in the begin there. Is that you playing??
Yeah, that’s me. What is B-roll?
The best way I can describe is all of the shots that are not necessarily the main point of the video but are setting the stage and scene of the main points. Its what is giving the viewer a better idea of the direction of the story. Sort of like filler scenes. Hope I explained that well enough!
