Rocks, boulders, and stones

The Adventure Continues… Poinsettias
I’ve never featured this 2004 episode of California’s Gold in which Huell visits the Eckes’ poinsetta ranch in Encenitas, but I did link to it a couple of years ago. After spotting some blue and orange poinsettia plants for sale in the supermarket this morning, I thought it would be good to take another look at where and how these […]
Memory Monday, Week 95
In early November 1996 I traveled from Sacramento to Redding via Amtrak bus to meet up with the Big Guy and see him compete in a pro-am fishing tournament put on by West Coast Bass. I took a few pictures while there — but sadly, none of my journey or the actual tournament (yeah, I’m not sure why, either). It’s […]
The Adventure Continues… Golden Gate Replicas
You might be tempted to think that the Golden Gate Bridge is one of a kind — but you’d be mistaken. I’m actually kind of amazed that I haven’t already shared this episode of California’s Gold… especially since one of the replicas just happens to reside at my alma mater, and I’ve walked across it any number of times! Huell visits […]
Cold
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Cold.
The Adventure Continues… Shasta Dam
In this adventure, Huell and Luis get a behind the scenes look at this engineering marvel. Miles of tunnels and millions of gallons of water make for an exciting day, but there is another aspect to the Shasta Dam – the human element. It is the people who built the dam, the people that poured concrete 24 hours a day […]
Memory Monday, Week 92
My photo albums probably contain more pictures of fishing trips and fish caught over the years than of any other subject. Our fishing outings have included trips to the ocean, Folsom Lake, Clear Lake, Berryessa, Lake Oroville, the Delta, Lake Natoma, and plenty of other bodies of water, large and small, in Northern California. We’ve fished from the shore and […]

The Adventure Continues… Paradise
I chose this episode of California’s Gold in honor of the people of Paradise and Magalia, towns which have been devastated by a fast-moving wildfire that started near Camp Creek Road last Thursday. The town of Paradise is said to be 80% destroyed, and many people lost their lives in the first few chaotic hours of evacuation. I wanted to […]
