We are twin brothers devoted to Earth adventures and environmental protection. We produce videos, both live action and animated, CD-ROMs, photographs, articles, and books covering topics related to understanding, appreciating, and enjoying Nature and natural and human history.

Announcing the completion of our first historical video in association with our good friend, Lorenzo!
Ralph Wood, 90 year-old World War 2 veteran recalls his experiences as a gunner in the B-17, being shot down and held prisoner in Stalag 17, his return to America, and making a career in the space program, helping to build satellites and planetary space probes. His story comes alive in the video:

Robert now has two diesel vehicles that he runs on used cooking oil. In 2002, he acquired a 1982 Mercedes 300SD and added a kit that he purchased from Greasecar.com. He purchased a 1986 GMC Suburban SUV and runs it on biodiesel that he makes from the used cooking oil. Learn more about it here.

Natural Recreation Series

American River Recreation

So far, we've produced videos on the American River, which runs through Sacramento, California. There is a park system called the American River Parkway, along the river from Nimbus Dam downstream to where the river flows into the Sacramento River. It has a bike trail that is about 31 miles long. There are also paddling and rafting trips down the river.

San Joaquin River Recreation

Another video is about the San Joaquin River, near Fresno, California. There is a parkway being developed along the river using the American River Parkway as a model. The San Joaquin River Parkway still has many parcels of land to be purchased and developed before the parkway will be completed, but there are many recreational opportunities already. A bike path 5 miles in length is already completed. Paddling trips are possible on your own or through the San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust.

Point Reyes Recreation

Point Reyes National Seashore is the unit of the National Park system that we've visited the most. It made sense to make it the topic for our first National Park video. It's a birding hot spot and wilderness area with backpacking, day hiking, biking, and paddling.

Natural Adventure Series

Teton Crest

Grand Teton is the highest point of a dramatic mountain range in northwestern Wyoming. Much of the range is in Grand Teton National Park, but not all of it. The Tetons are about 40 miles long and rise over a mile from the valley to the east, known as Jackson Hole. The Twins backpacked from the north end of the range to the south. This video will be the first in their Natural Adventure series.

Environmental Living
How can you live your daily life in a way that lessens your impact on the environment? We'll give you concrete steps on what you can do in our "Environmental Living" video.

Here's a sample video about Phil Erro's Farm. Phil is a teacher and farmer who has done work in the Peace Corps. His home's energy comes from solar panels. He keeps erosion under control at his farm and in 2006 installed a photovoltaic system to generate enough electricity to offset the energy used by his farm's pump. You can see a 10 minute video here entitled, "Phil Erro's Earth-Friendly Farm":

Old Sacramento
Our video on Old Sacramento State Historic Park will kick off our historic places series. Old Sacramento has one of the largest concentrations of historic buildings in the Western United States, many of which date from the Gold Rush and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. We'll show you around in our upcoming "The Robinson Twins present Historic Places: Old Sacramento."

The Great Rift
The Great Rift forms a 60 or so mile long scar on the face of central Idaho. At the north end of this scar is the Craters of the Moon National Monument. We've backpacked into the Craters of the Moon Wilderness at least 3 times. Very few people visit the wilderness, something on the order of 50 per year. President Clinton declared an expanded Craters of the Moon National Monument in November, 2000. The expansion includes more of the Great Rift, farther south than the current boundary, to the Wapi Flow. We hope to backpack the entire length of the Great Rift for an upcoming adventure video.

Caves of California
California has many more caves than most people realize. With enlightening the public to these wonders of Nature in mind, we've decided to produce a video and a book about the "Caves of California".
