Joshua Tree
See Park Geology Video See Park Videos What a wonderful overnight stay here in the desert in Southern California. We approached from the south. With a call to recreation.gov we had learned that several sites at Cottonwood Cottonwood Campground in Joshua Tree National...
LA Traffic
Certainly we've avoided the busiest, most congested roadways in Southern California, but to travel from Santa Paula to JoshuaTree National Park involves contending with a fair degree of LA traffic with our trailer in tow. Fortunately in the last couple of days, we've...
After the Thomas Fire
One of the effects of travel for us is an emotional connectedness to the places we have visited. When we learned on the news this past winter about the Thomas Fire in California's Ventura County we immediately began fearing for the people and places we knew and had...
Francisco’s Fruits
Today we had an errand to run. We visited the UPS store in Santa Paula, California to fill out our absentee ballots in the presence of a notary public and put them in the mail. Then we treated ourselves to a drive through the Santa Clara Valley to Francisco's Fruits...

Sunday at Alabama Hills

Early Morning Stars
Brilliant stars shining through our Stargazer window, just above our bed awakened us this morning just after 5:30 AM and propelled us out of bed, into warm clothes, and out the door of our T@B into an amazing nightscape here in the Alabama Hills of California. The...
Museum of Western Film History
If we’re planning on hanging out on Movie Road, we ought to learn a little about the Hollywood productions filmed in this part of California. Lone Pine is home to The Museum of Western Film History where we learned about the hundred year history of movie making in...
