A VISIT FROM THE MOVIE MAKERS

SOMETHING THEY SAW ON THE WEB ATTRACTED THEM ----SO THEY HOPPED A PLANE IN CALGARY, ALBERTA---FLEW TO FLAGSTAFF--RENTED A CAR---AND SHOWED UP AT OUR CAMPGROUND OUT IN THE NATIONAL FOREST NEAR GRAND CANYON.

We knew they were coming---but we didn't know precisely why.  Here's our modest group of rigs.

Like thousands of others we're here for this---the grand views of Grand Canyon---this is the most popular of them all---Mather Point.  Sadly, lightening killed a couple right here a few days ago.

Ran into this nearly naked lady at the Laundromat--yes it's Laurie-- so determined to wash everything she has--that she borrowed a towel for modesty's sake then threw her total wardrobe into the washers.

And then they arrived--- there they are---a high powered director of many movies and documentaries and his equally famous cameraman---Can't tell you who they are(confidentiality agreement) but you would know their movies.

Super nice folks---who took the time to answer our questions about movie making and  the famous stars they have worked with.

And then they began to film----EVERYTHING.

Laurie's solar panel array

Bob's amazing trailer.

And me.  It's really a treat to be directed and filmed by experts---they know how to extract the gold from their subjects---everyone enjoyed their on camera experience.

They came inside my rig and recorded 3 of my best poems and extracted a condensed version of my philosophy.

They really know how to deal with people.  Judy told her story and let them film the inside of her van.

Meet Curtis----he drove 1,500 miles to be here---has engineered his mini-van for great comfort---and mileage.

Meet Dan---a terrific photographer who has wandered the West for 27 years recording its spectacular beauty.

That's famous Bob Wells on the right---webmaster of www.cheaprvliving.com and http://cheaprvlivingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Photo-me-wiring.jpg  .  Bob's adventures make him  a candidate for a lead role.  The other guy is Connolly?--a professional who embraced simplicity and moved into his car.  

See what I mean?  He's comfortable and  mobile.

And the cameras sought out Laurie---for 2 sessions.

And again at the campfire.  Cameras were rolling as she sang the song she wrote for my birthday---"BETWEEN THE HIGHWAY AND THE WIND"

And I performed my signature poem "THE DANCE OF TESTOSTERONE" .

RANDY PHILOSOPHIZES:  I still don't know why those nice people flew down here and filmed us---doesn't matter---was an enjoyable and enriching experience.  I'm training myself to accept what life offers and to dance to whatever music is playing.
