robertpaulsen's JournalIndivisible March in Los Angeles - August 26, 2017
Ever since the horrific events in Charlottesville two weeks ago, I've been aching to get out and protest. This weekend, my wife and I attended the Indivisible March in Los Angeles to rally for women's rights and honor Heather Heyer, who was brutally run over and murdered by a Nazi terrorist in Charlottesville while counter-protesting against white supremacy. It was an extremely hot afternoon, but we enjoyed meeting with friends and seeing so many people stand up against hatred. I hope you enjoy the video we made of our time there.

Behold the beauty of the Badlands! Road Trip Day 4 Episode 8
There’s a timeless quality to the Badlands in South Dakota. The scenery is undeniably stark and desolate. Driving through the scenic road, we were awed by the layer of different colors infused in the rock formations. Red, grey, white, yellow and some green – the colors kept changing as the sun moved its position.
Minuteman Missile Historic Site in South Dakota Road Trip Day 4 Episode 7
It might be easy to think of the Cold War as something in the past. With that thought, it might be easy to think we’re no longer in danger of nuclear war. But when we visited the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site in South Dakota, it not only brought the past vividly to life, it also served as a sober reminder of how the threat of nuclear annihilation never really went away. (P.S. We shot and edited this before Trump went on his "fire and fury" trip!)

Close Encounters at Devils Tower National Monument Road Trip Day 3 Episode 3
Seeing Devils Tower is amazing. Neek, Sar and I experienced something other-worldly about seeing, in the midst of the rolling forest and hills, this humungous geological formation raised so tall above everything around it. Seriously, if you haven’t been, put this on your bucket list. It is like nothing else on Earth!
Road Trip Utah to Wyoming Day 2 Episode 2: Wind Turbines and Hot Air Balloons
Neek, Sar and I woke up early in our hotel room in Midvale, Utah. It was 5:30am and I felt groggy after the long journey the day before, and strangely hungry. Fortunately the hotel breakfast room opened at 6am and they had waffles, which all three of us loved. We packed the car, checked out, and hit the open road again!
