      Thanks! I love driving my Festiva, I guess that was my main inspiration. I had a plan to live in a van for a while with a couple friends that fell through so this was kind of the fulfillment of that urge.

        Ahhh the famous old inspiration of the van down by the river. A motivational speaker of sorts! Haha just kidding, wish I had the courage to drop all my things and embark on that kind of journey.

        So for the aerial photos, would you just set the drone to hover around the corner and when you took the corner triggered it to capture? Or just a frame from video? Really interested in learning more about your photography setup for this.

          The pics brought back such good memories, it was a great trip. I am looking forward to the trip to Westiva in July. Those considering Westiva are welcome to caravan with us.

                  ^^^ What he said!

                  I thoroughly enjoyed our long distance road trips. Our first was from Calgary to Madness V in 2011... 10000km/6200 miles in 14 days with five of us!
