The Lassithi Plateau at the island of Crete is a wide, fertile plain over 800 meters above sea level, surrounded by peaks, dotted with villages and fields as far as the eye could see. One of the first things we noticed was a row of stone windmills. There were about 20 in view, but once, there were over 10,000 of them! These windmills used to pump water from the ground for irrigation – a lifeline for agriculture here. The Lassithi Plateau has long been the agricultural heart of eastern Crete, with a unique microclimate and plenty of groundwater. Even today, the 18 villages around the plateau live primarily from farming. We flew our drone to capture this sweeping valley from above – the perfect blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity.

How A Conestoga Trailer Works, Loading A Conestoga and Our Conestoga Trailer. In This Video We Show YOU how Our Conestoga Trailer works, How we load it, and how we love our 53 Conestoga. Conestoga Trailers are Inspired by the old covered wagons of the 1690s, providing the best of two worlds. They have a moveable tarp system that maximizes space for all kinds of loads. The demand for specialized trailers is huge. About Us: We are a Travel Vlogging Couple Exploring the Less Traveled Places in the USA From the Seat of our Big Rig! Welcome to Me and The Kiwi: This is the story of how two midlifers met on a three-hour flight from Nashville to Denver, became smitten with each other, fell ridiculously in love, and two months later, threw caution to the wind and went all in. I arrived in Phoenix, Arizona with nothing but a ‘bag of rocks‘--(aka crystals), joined my Sweet Kiwi Man–(aka New Zealander), and began truck driving cross country. On this channel, we explore Top 10 lists on everything about Life on the Open Road and wanderlust in the USA; weird places, awesome roadside attractions, great hikes, unexpected gems, dive bars, what it's like living in 156" space, and more!
