 Hello my friends, so I got a new drone, I want to go play with it, but most importantly I want to show you my beautiful beloved hometown boulder in all of its glory. Right now the hills and the mountains are all green from all the springtime rains and you got to catch this moment quickly because by mid-June and on it's too hot and everything turns brown and yellow, I mean it's still beautiful but it's not green so let's go on a little tour. All right we're gonna start this off in North Boulder and I'm gonna ride south toward Chautauqua Park where the famous flat irons are. If you've ever seen a postcard of Boulder, that's what you're seeing, the flat irons. Sorry to interrupt the beautiful drone shots but I wanted to show you something. This right here is the hospital where I was born on Superbowl Sunday, 1979, January 21st. Now it's obviously not a hospital, they're probably gonna turn it into expensive condos like everything else in Boulder. Crazy to think that this is where my beautiful life started. Thank you mom and dad, I'm liking this life. All right here we go, I've lived here all my life and every time I come up here I'm still just as excited and in awe of the beauty. Here's the flat irons. So this is a very popular spot, you can see all the cars lined up there and lined up there and that's not even the main parking lot, the main parking lot is in there. Also it's a Friday morning, does anybody work in Boulder or are we all just YouTubers? So these rock formations right here are called the flat irons because they look like an iron. You would iron your clothes with and they're turned up on their side and yes you can climb them, I've been up there a couple times, it's pretty cool. All right now I'm going to continue the tour up Flagstaff Mountain. I used to live up here, this is called the hill when I was in college and I would ride my bike up Flagstaff Mountain all the time. It was my place to get my training in. I am now at the Flagstaff overlook. This is where you come to make out when you're in high school. I never did that because I didn't have a car or a girlfriend but it is beautiful and you can see the red roofs of the University of Colorado, my alma mater, everything is green and beautiful and right behind me on the hill behind me that's where the Boulder star is at Christmas time. I really enjoy coming up here and I actually don't come up here all that often but when I do I really get a feeling of gratitude for where I live and I can look out at my entire little city and think wow this is where I grew up and this is where I went to school and made friends and went through all the ups and downs of life. It's all right there and I love my city, I love my Boulder, I love my friends and I love my community and being up here just makes me really happy. I am now gonna head way further south here in Boulder and ride up to a place called NCAR which is the National Center for Atmospheric Research and it's a really interesting looking building. It was designed by the architect I.M. Pei. He's world-renowned and let's do it. Check it out, this is just so incredibly beautiful. I need to come to South Boulder more often. This is definitely one of my favorite climbs right in Boulder and it's pretty gradual. It's not nearly as steep as the other mountain roads. I wouldn't even call this a mountain. This is more of just like a little hill and it just opens up the great expanse of the foothills and the flat irons in Boulder. I mean look at that. Ah, riding bikes is good for the soul. Can you believe this? Can I believe that I live here? This is like a five mile ride from my house. Incredible, I love it. This is gonna be the end of my super duper green Boulder drone video because all my batteries are dead. I'm gonna have to go home and charge those up. Thank you so much for joining me.

Okay, so I know I'm probably gonna get some flak for this from people saying you can't fly a drone over open space. Here's the rules that I understand. You can't take off or land in open space so I'm over here outside of open space. Also I'm flying it very high so as not to bug anybody or get close or annoy hikers that are out to enjoy mother nature. There you go.
