What the creator captured
Chad and Claire felt a sense of magic while exploring the Mojave National Preserve lava tubes, comparing the dust motes in the light beams to pixie dust. They also reflected on reaching the halfway point of their year-long van life journey while debating whether to produce a full-length documentary. The couple concluded that the lava tubes were the coolest and most unique location they had visited on their entire trip.
