HIDDEN Slot Canyons of Anza Borrego Calcite Mine Area
In this epic adventure, "infamous" Jesse and his friend Willie explore the Slot Canyons of Anza Borrego, around the calcite mine area. It's not one for the faint of heart, I assure you. Hiking some crazy cliffs made from unstable mud is an experience many would rather sit back and enjoy on their computer screens. A big thank you to daredevil duo of Jesse and Willie for sharing this interesting adventure.
@jessestlouis is a video blogger, with interest in exploring roads less travelled.
Head over to California for some adrenaline.

Let's turn that adrenaline a notch higher with this base jumping video from none other than... well, @basejumper. It's really among the best you will see anywhere on the wide web.
All shot in 4k with the Dji Mavic Air drone, it guarantees an immersive experience as these guys have fun living their life on the edge, (of a bridge) literally.
Author is a UK based frother, who, in his own words, "likes to celebrate life as often as possible!"
"I spend a lot of my time trading Crypto, but when I’m not I like to play in the clouds in my wingsuit, and go BASE jumping.
"I try to live the most fun life as possible, which means lots of Wakeboarding, Wakesurfing, Sky diving, with a little bit of downhill thrown in there also.
"I just went to a Slayer gig last night¹ in London, as part of their final tour and it was EPIC! I'm a huge Slayer fan!" — @basejumper
Enjoy the descends.

Road To Moraine

True to his main goal "to share [his] adventures in Alaska and abroad," Chase takes us on this picturesque experience of the Moraine Lake in Canada.
"The water is the bluest I've ever seen and the mountains surrounding it are massive," Chase reckons. This, I believe is part of his planned "50 day road trip from Alaska down through Canada and the Pacific Northwest."
22(?) year old Chase Burnett has a noble goal of inspiring others to gain appreciation for the outdoors, and explore new places. Photography is his tool, and his adventures shared on his blog is helping that goal.
"Although the lake is a super population destination, if you visit don't overlook the surrounding area. There are many lakes in the park just as beautiful and not nearly as crowded." — Chase

Priscilla "Yidneth" Hernandez needs a little less introduction than most on Steem do, thanks to her impeccable talent and all-roundness in her creative pursuits. I am a huge admirer of this artistic genius. With her it's never half-done, half-hearted or halved in whatever way.
And "Haunted" is no exception. Outright brilliance! The music, the video. You are spoilt with treats. And tricks too: the ominousness of the sound and the cringe visuals. This is a full experience you don't want to miss. You haven't met Yidneth yet? You ought to, through her blog. Or get on the next plane to Poland to behold her presence at Steemfest 3.
