There are times when I’m so happy to be hiking through along a forest trail that I feel I’m stopping about every few steps to shoot a photo; and then there’s the time last May when I did actually manage to document nearly every step I took around the back of the Robert Louis Stevenson Tree. As I was doing […]
I have to admit I’ve been skipping over this particular episode for awhile, assuming it was a duplicate, part of Huell’s series on all the California missions. You may recall that I featured the episode including Mission San Juan Bautista back in March of this year. Well, I finally decided to confirm my suspicion — and discovered I was wrong. […]
As we say goodbye to September, here are a few more images from my visit last June to the Route 66 Auto Museum in Santa Rosa, New Mexico.
Often imitated, the Meyers Manx remains unique — and more sought after — even all these years later. It just may be impossible to live in California and not have known about these fun little cars, but I had never heard the name “Meyers Manx” until now. And although I’ve never had the pleasure in riding in either an original […]
Continuing the images from my visit to the Petrified Forest in Napa, California.

The […]

These days the facility is known as Vandenberg Space Force Base, and it has been the site of numerous military space launches as well as those of NASA and SpaceX. As a military installation, access to the Vandenberg property is […]
Here are a few more images from my trip last May to the Petrified Forest in Napa County, near Calistoga, California.
There’s so much to see in this one-hour episode of California’s Gold, originally aired in May 2008. The USS Midway and the USS Hornet are both veterans of the Second World War, but they’ve seen many other types of service over the years. Both ships are still in open to the public, the USS Midway in San Diego and the […]
Here is another look back to photos from earlier this year — this time my visit to the Petrified Forest near Calistoga in late May. I drove about 1½ hours from where we were staying on the northeast shore of Clear Lake, taking Highway 29 south toward Calistoga. While it was kind of a long drive, the trip was fun […]
