The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of June 14, 2017. This week, show us your favorite in-focus and out-of-focus moments. I’d just bought my little Fujifilm Finepix AX, and I was in San Francisco for a couple of days. I took loads of pictures, and most of them came out great — but of course there were […]
I’ve never visited Providence Mountain, the first of the two State Parks Huell visits in this episode of California’s Gold, but I’ve been lucky enough to see the Indian Grinding Rock site. It’s a great day trip in a beautiful part of the Sierra foothills, and every time I watch this episode I want to go back and see it […]

Monday, December 28, 1992 — “When we left [heading home] on Sunday we drove through Missoula and took 90 East to avoid the Lost Trail Pass on 93, thinking the snow conditions might be […]
Back in December of 1992, I took a road trip with the Big Guy and his parents from Northern California through Nevada and Idaho to Missoula, Montana, to spend Christmas with my sister-in-law. We traveled in a rented minivan (crammed full of presents and trip supplies), and it took us two full days to reach our destination. Of course, now I wish I […]
