Table Mountain Hike
Trip Date: March 7, 2025
I love Craig’s List and I love the “Free Stuff” most. I have to agree it is one of my hobbies and so when I saw an ad for free red lava rock in Oroville, I thought why not. If it worked, I would get free red lava rock that I needed to finish the…
Jenner for Kristen’s Birthday
Trip Date: June 26, 2020
This may be a brief story, or not, as it is being written in late October, so details may be sparse. Thank god for my pictures as they definitely help recreate the stories. We had been in lock down, in fear, in this weirdness that was the early stages of the pandemic. Little did we…

Trip Date: March 23, 2018
Just outside Vegas, within an hour to the North, East, and West (and South probably too) is some spectacular country. I assume people know about it, certainly the locals, but of course that is not the Vegas you hear about from people going to Vegas. So, yes, I do understand I didn’t camp in Vegas,…
