Mojave National Preserve I
Trip Date: January 9, 2017
A January Winter trip has become somewhat of a tradition these last few years. I believe it was perhaps January 0f 2014 Bob, Steve, and I wentto Carrizo Plain National Monument for our first big winter trip. The following year, Tom joined us to go to Red Rock Canyon State Park. January of 2016, Bob,…
Central California Coast State Parks
Trip Date: October 17, 2013
I don’t remember when this was as I am writing this several years later, however, it was either during the Rim Fire in Yosemite in 2013 or when the federal government shut down due to the lack of a budget which was also in 2013, so my hunch is this trip occurred in October of…

Sinkyone Wilderness State Park

OK, this trip was a long time ago; almost 16 years now since I wrote the story and another 4 years later I am finally placing the photos in the story to publish it. Maybe 10 years before that, I got on an airplane to LAX with 15,000 in cash, a knife, and a stout,…
