Expedition Blue Planet 2010
Expedition Blue Planet: North America's Mission
In 2010, Alexandra Cousteau and her international Expedition Blue Planet team traveled across North America on a 17,100-mile journey to investigate global water issues “in the backyard” of the world’s largest consumer economy. Living, working and exploring water stories together, Alexandra and her team used everything from the underwater gear invented by her grandfather, to the latest in satellite technology and live social media, to bring the thrill of adventure and the wonders of nature to audiences across the globe.

Watershed: Middle South Platte-Cherry Creek
After a whole day rolling on the endless highways through this seemingly endless country we feasted on 100% Nebraskan sirloin steak (after all Nebraska is America's number one producer of red meat) at the Whiskey Creek steakhouse in Kearney last night.
