Volt trip, 3,000 miles in less than 5 days. My wife and I swapped driving, and we spent only three nights in hotels on this long trip. Please note, my drone footage at at Very Large Array in New Mexico was done on a day when the system was down for maintenance. My nephew works there and gave me the hours of the maintenance schedule. We drove from the middle of Texas up into Utah on this trip, getting "lost" (or a better word is "mislead" using On Star routing in my Volt and On Star took us on a very long "adventure" on dirt roads across parts of the Navajo Nation where only locals were driving in pickups. We were probably the only" tourists" that had been on the dirt roads the entire year. But needless to say, what a grand adventure it was, especially in a car that runs on electric motors.

When I was 4 years old, my dad came home from work (he was a pilot and had been on a trip) and he showed me a device he bought while he was gone. I recall standing in the driveway at our modest house in El Paso, and he holds up an 8mm film camera and immediately shows me how to aim it, punch a button on the front and make movies. That single even in my young life would be the seed planted for my career in television. I eventually worked almost around the globe, to spending the summer of 1989 working and living in the Soviet Union based in Moscow, but also touring Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus and many regions of Russia. Little did I know, that my relationship with the camera would take me to Mogadishu in 1992 where I witnessed our American military as they participated in Operation Restore Hope, to save the lives of starving people in Somalia. The camera has greatly rewarded my life as I look back on my times and I was lucky to have a father who graced my life for 55 years and 14 days.

If every kid had a father who was as responsible, ethical, devoted and available as my father was to me, the world would be a much better place.

Living a year without gasoline, with my 2012 Chevrolet Volt. 367 days after my purchase, I buy my first tank of gas at 15,010 miles and my Volt needs less than 7 gallons of gasoline... What a deal this is...
