Linked up with my brother and legend, Robert Guerrero. Enjoyed the coastal highway. Searched for Bigfoot. Went from a week in a tent to a night in a mansion in the hills of Hollywood.

The Pleasuring Grounds – Vlogume 5 – Craters, Bill’s and Poor Planning
from Kevin Dowling on 26 Sep 2023

Whenever people ask me “What was your favorite place that you went on the trip?” I always tell them Craters of the Moon National Monument. I wish I would have spent a few days exploring further into this alien landscape. I was slowly figuring out how to shut the fuck up, listen and be unafraid at this point of the journey. Camping was no longer scary and even in the face of attempts at violence I kinda just stopped giving a fuck about whatever danger might exist. Learned to trust my instincts and be ready to engage with whatever or whoever I came across. Its always good to face and dismantle your fears.Erik Bill Interview at link.https://kevindowling.tumblr.com

The Pleasuring Grounds – Vlogume 4 – Real Tears and Delicious Beers
from Kevin Dowling on 25 Sep 2023

There is no question that pulling into Grand Teton National Park changed me forever. I experienced a beautiful realization that our lives are wonderfully inconsequential. The park’s grandiose impact leaves no room for ego. I ventured into the Pleasuring Grounds at a time in which I was at risk of losing a career which has given me a glimpse into the idea of what people consider success. My work in the film industry has given me much to be grateful for. It has afforded me great financial stability, accolades from my peers, a good sense of humanity and the respect of my family. The National Parks, however, awakened something primal within me that has made all of that feel slightly unimportant. No creation of man, no photograph made, no painting painted, no sculpture molded, no film produced, will ever come close to being as incredibly perfect as the protected spaces of our National Parks. With protection, they will outlive us all and inspire generation after generation to reflect on the meaning of our existence and implore us to remember who we actually are.Humbled and grateful.
