![]() The other factor was that although both of these landscapes are breathtaking, I was having a hard time making a connection. This is due to a few factors one of which was as I stated in the beginning of this post it was a family trip to unfamiliar landscapes. I broke out the Mamiya in both Dinosaur and Jasper but only managed to expose 2 rolls of film the entire trip. and enjoyed every stretch of road along the way. We spent 4 nights in Dinosaur Provincial Park, 6 nights in Jasper National Park, 4 nights in Vancouver B.C. On July 5th 2018 we packed up our 4wd Ford Escape with all of our camping gear and of course the Mamiya 7II outfit and headed northwest into the great Canadian west. It was an easy sell to my family as the Royal Tyrrell museum of Paleontology is not far away and every 8 year old loves dinosaurs so to the roster it was added. The park appealed to me due to the striking resemblance to the Badlands of South Dakota, it’s a spitting image. As I began to plan the trip I discovered an area in Alberta about 2 hours east of Calgary called Dinosaur Provincial Park. The plan was to overland it and camp in Jasper National Park with a few stays in hotels along the way to “clean up”. The area of interest was the Canadian west and more specifically, the Canadian Rockies and the city of Vancouver in British Columbia. Of course photography was always on the agenda but the central purpose was to visit areas of North America that we had not yet experienced. In early January 2018, as the year was just getting underway, I decided that as a family we needed to undertake a great North American road trip. A journey that would ignite a love affair, and prompt a 2nd visit in a little over a month. These early trips were really geared around family but on the horizon I knew an epic journey lay in wait. The year started off with a road trip in March to visit family in North Carolina and then on to southwest Florida. Travel not just for photographic purposes but also for family adventure, although fortunately for my own selfish reasons photography was always at least part of each adventure. Still, a good episode and one that makes you wonder.2018 has been a remarkable year for me, and this is no doubt attributed to the amount of travel to new destinations I have experienced. ![]() My only complaint is that the fiery finale was a bit poor due to the special effects.which weren't all that special. How can Barnaby proceed with the case if he can't even talk to one of his most important leads? The plot to this is a bit like combining the later life of Howard Hughes with "The Most Dangerous Game".and it makes for a very exciting story about a man so rich and powerful, there seems to be nothing the law can or will do to stop him. However, the man he really wants to speak with is Charles Wheeling (O'Neal).a very secretive and evil man who simply refuses to cooperate in any way. Barnaby Jones is hired by his wife to look into the case. And, as you'd expect, they make his death look like an accident. Some guy on a motorcycle oversees something some evil folks don't want anyone to see or hear.so they chase him down and murder him. The same goes for Don Porter.he's also in the show and nearly always played evil in various TV shows.ditto for Frank Murth.and all three are in this episode. So, when you saw John Colicos or Nehemiah Persoff, you KNEW they were the bad guy.it was as simple as that! So, when "Secret of the Dunes" came on and I saw that Patrick O'Neal was in the show, I just knew he was playing some wicked scumbag.yet again. During the 1960s and 70s, many actors made a living on TV playing criminals, creeps and sociopaths.
