FARE THEE WELL MY TRUSTED FRIEND

I never thought this day would come ... 

the day that you and I would be apart.

BECOME A PATRON!

Almost 12 years we were together. Since photography class in college, when we still worked on SLR non-digital cameras, you remember, the kind that we loaded with film and processed in dark rooms. 

You were a Christmas present from my father in Michigan, way way way, back in the day.

Adra Janean and father Errol

BECOME A PATRON!

I tried my hardest to find pictures with you in it dear tripod, but 

alas, that is not an easy task. You were most happy behind the camera, not in front of it. 

(Technically, you were under the camera, to be specific, and you did a most epic job).

We've worked together in Michigan, Montana, Idaho, Tahoe, SoCal, NorCal, Nevada ...

We traveled the nation together on planes, trains and automobiles. You even hitched a flight to Africa and back, to be of service. 

BECOME A PATRON!

We got Media passes, just you and me - people gave us strange looks and asked how we did that with just my iPhone attached, but together we produced content for over 100 episodes of our online talk show ...

We went on Different Adventures to Disney Land, famous silver mining ghost towns, and balloon races.

We shot photos of our friends, went backstage at techno shows and festivals in multiple states ... 

BECOME A PATRON!

... we made  HILARIOUS comedy sketches ...

... short films, YouTubes, roller skate videos, taped auditions, interviews, Tarot card readings in an Irish accent, and even started a documentary ...

You've been backpacked, strapped to bike racks ...

... filmed "Phish Fans" as well as celebrities ... 

BECOME A PATRON!

If I left you behind somewhere, I am sorry. If someone took you home while I was not looking, I hope they have many years creating with you. 

My worse fear is that you are rotting in a dump somewhere.

I don't know where you went to dear tripod, but I hope that you are happy my portable Slik U 8000. 

BECOME A PATRON!

... I relied upon you to be my partner when I was ready to create ...

RIP.

I feel so lost without you.

Different Adventures in Virginia City - Zombie Run and Washoe Club S01E01

On October 12, 2013, Different Adventures went to Virginia City, Nevada in pursuit of Zombies - little did they know that show host, Adra Fenstermaker would have a ghostly encounter with a women laughing in her ear at the Washoe Club.

Music: Hagen Fenstermaker
Filmed & Edited: Adra Fenstermaker
Assistant Camera Operator: Karen McFadden

I decided to visit historical mining town, Virginia City, Nevada after wanting to for many years. After parking my car on the street, I was amazed at just how beautiful the views overlooking the famous MacKay (Mack - EEE) Mansion Museum were…breathtaking and magical. I could have stayed forever just looking out over the vista.

It was a Saturday in the fall as I walked down the street into Virginia City. Families were walking in and out of shops, buying silver, purchasing ten-gallon hats and selecting yummy novelty candies to take home.

But. Shopping and sight seeing are not all that there is to do in Virginia City. The once thriving town of millionaire miners is now bustling with tourists who enjoy the shops, stories, cowboys, and of course, the zombies.

Home of the annual “Red Run” the streets were full of zombies trying to capture the flags of runners as they sprinted through town and pulled body bags up hills to complete the six mile obstacle course.

After getting my fill of the living dead, I wandered into the Washoe Club to order my regular cowboy bar drink (beer and shot of whiskey) not knowing that I was entering the land of the non-living.

Known for their fairly priced drinks, the Blue Lady is a favorite.

The bar was rather quite, until the back room door opened, and out came a large tour of Ghost Hunters, excited and showing pictures of full body apparitions that they had taken with their cameras. I had no idea what I had just gotten myself into – but thanks to my new found friends Karen and John McFadden, I was about to find out…

Peeking in from the outside of the 2nd story

These rooms are known for "orb" activities

As I sat at the bar listening to the patrons, a women, taller than me started to laugh in my ear – as I turned to see who was behind me, there was no one there. After this ghostly happening, I became intrigued with what else could be going on in this saloon.

John offered to take me back to the crypt and have some drinks with he and his wife Karen, which I gladly accepted. First, Karen and I went to the ladies room where she told me her personal paranormal story.

It appears my pictures are orb free

As we entered the crypt John talked about the cool room with the extremely high ceilings and how during the winter months, dead bodies were stacked and stored there, waiting to be buried when the ground thawed in Spring. We sat and laughed and talked – nothing seemed odd, it was actually a very peaceful experience. Looking online I find that I am pretty much alone in my feelings of peace.  If I was locked inside at nighttime, I bet I would have had a very, very, different adventure.

All in all, I can’t believe that it took me so long to visit this amazing part of the country and I can not wait to be able to visit again. Who knows, maybe next time I might just book a reservation for an overnight in the crypt! 

Stay tuned - next adventure, is the Great Reno Balloon Race!

From Wake Up Tahoe to Different Adventures

Blog from The Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority...

Start each day off fresh and fun with Wake Up Tahoe Posted in Local Culture | May 23, 2013 | By Tahoe South

Wake Up Tahoe was conceived to share the locals’ love of Lake Tahoe’s beautiful South Shore. Hosted by one of our local favorite radio, television, and event hosts, Dreu Murin, Wake Up Tahoe is filmed in front of a live audience weekdays from MontBleu Resort Casino and Spa’s Wedding Chapel, overlooking Edgewood Golf Course (home of the American Century Championship). Beyond the scenery, the show features different themes each day, including Cooking Wednesdays and Mystical Mondays. Don’t be surprised to see Dreu and his guests in costume on occasion (ok, regularly).

As the backbone of the show, Adra Fenstermaker is the producer, writer, reporter, and social media queen. Murin graciously acknowledges that, “without her, the show would have never happened.. see full blog post HERE...
