Jason Greer, the cinematographer, wanted us to catch the sunrise at Pioneer, Arizona this morning, so Uno and I left the house at 4:45 a.m. and I immediately noticed something I had almost forgotten. The serenity was palpable because no one else was on the road and it is so peaceful at this time of day. I have to thank my father for teaching me the secret of great road trips which is to get up early and get out on the road before anyone else!
Sunrise Saguaro Serenity this morningAt 5:15 I met the small crew, already set up in front of the Flying V cabin where I would make my plea for donations to save the historic cabin which is in ruins.
Meanwhile, this guy knew his mark. . .
And, here for your viewing pleasure are the opening remarks in the teleprompter that I delivered like a pro because, well, I know how to read.
And so, what would inspire me to get up so early on Memorial Day and go film a video for Pioneer Living History Museum?
The short answer is I love history and want to support efforts like this and the other slightly longer answer is I have some history with the place. I tied the knot with this little honey about 200 yards from where we filmed this morning.
