A walk in the park
Dachsund Dash
Here are a few photos from the Dachsund races — part of the annual Doggy Day at Denio’s, held this year on April 23.
Taming the flames
As we headed over to Lake Berryessa on Tuesday morning, we were fully expecting to hit some kind of traffic delay on Highway 128 just beyond the town of Winters. I already knew that Cal Fire crews were conducting a controlled burn along the hillsides above Cache Creek on Monday and Tuesday; so it wasn’t a bit surprising to find […]
The Adventure Continues… Fire Trucks
Just about everybody loves old fire engines, but most people aren’t in a position to collect them. In this episode of Visiting, Huell has a real adventure when he meets a dedicated collector living in Shadow Hills (a northeast suburb of Los Angeles) and explores the historic firefighting equipment that would later be put on display in the LA Fire […]

I also couldn’t help feeling like the Walt Disney barn seemed awfully familiar — it appeared […]
Family memories

I’m certain I have them tucked away safely […]
The Adventure Continues… Snow Show
Here in Northern California, we’ve had quite a lot of snowfall in the Sierra Nevada this week. It might just be enough to merit an additional snow survey later this month, but I’m not sure how much impact it’s going to have on the overall poor outlook for our current year. In this 2011 episode of Visiting, Huell takes a […]
