The Adventure Continues… Tahoe Corner — Road Trip
This is an episode I’ve been looking forward to, and clearly Huell was excited about it as well. After watching this, I’ve added a few more items to my list of must-see places in California, like the Rainbow Trail along Taylor Creek and the mansions of the Tallac estates.

Memory Monday, Week 62
Two weeks ago I began sharing some professionally shot vintage slides that form part of my mom’s collection. That initial set were all labeled as Wesco slides; but the remainder of images included in this box are labeled only with numbers — so I can only guess at their locations. I believe that the next two images may have something to do with a county fair in Southern California; they seem to be exhibits of Sunkist brand Oranges. The second photo includes the names Crafton Mutual Orchards in Mentone (Riverside County) and Allen Break & Son in Bryn Mawr (San Bernardino County). I’m guessing that the black horse depicted above may be Silkwood, a record-setting trotter which helped swell attendance at the early 1890s Orange County fairs. The good news is that I’ve finally ordered a new slide scanner, and I hope to be back next week with a new and improved appearance to my slides!

When the sun came out
The weather began to warm up very nicely today… just as we were loading up our gear to start for home. I hear it’s supposed to be in the 80 degree range at Clear Lake next week. It will be perfect weather — for somebody else.
