Ironton Ghost Town, Red Mountain Mining District, Colorado MOVIE: Ironton is one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in the San Juan Mountains outside Ouray and Silverton. It's very peaceful and easy to imagine life back in the 1800s, when it first became a busy mining town. Now all that's left is a few decaying structures and groves of aspen...

Gold Camp Road, Cheyenne Canon, High Drive, Colorado Springs This video compresses a 45-minute drive into a 15-minute spin through the scenery of North Cheyenne Canon in Colorado Springs, Colorado on Gold Camp Road. The first part of the video features Gold Camp Road. Gold Camp Road is now what was once The Short Line Railroad bed that stretched from Cripple Creek to Colorado Springs. Gold was brought down from the mining camp on The Short Line. The drive takes you through two railroad tunnels, multiple rock cuts and over old trestles with sheer drop offs into the canyon below. It winds for over 30 miles but due to tunnel cave ins along the route, you have to drive it in sections. This is the short section of the road that is accessible from town. You can drive all the way through to Cripple Creek if you begin on Old Stage Road (which criss-crossed the rail bed multiple times), and bypass the caved in tunnels. The second half of the video takes place on the High Drive, an old carriage road from the 1800s.

Canon HV20 High Definition HD Videocamera Test Footage Just got a Canon HV20 High Definition videocamera and went to the Cripple Creek Mining District to shoot my first footage. The pine cone/tree footage came out crystal clear, even though the branches were swinging in the wind. I tested the zoom on the elk running up the mountain. I went from complete zoom in to complete zoom out and you can see how well the Image Stablizer works. The old train tunnel shows the low-light ability. I was in complete darkness in that tunnel and when I tilted to the ceiling of the tunnel you could still see well, although some graininess appears. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with the camera.
