In mid March, Ray and I took a vacation up near Pescadero, between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay. We decided to try and take some time to visit as many beaches as we could between the rains. We had a great time. It is a beautiful area and the beaches are outstanding. Hope you enjoy. There are pictures from both Ray and myself.
Hopefully you’ll find the following photographs as interesting and meaningful as we found them. On our 51st anniversary Rayleen, my wife, and I went to some of our favorite places. The north coast of California is amazingly beautiful. Point Reyes National Seashore is not only beautiful, but teaming with wildlife. We saw coyotes, Thule Elk, deer, a river otter, a Bob Cat, Vultures, Elephant Seals, Harbor Seals, a Golden Eagle, hawks and many other birds. In Carmel we saw Sea Otters. It was a great trip. These are places I definitely want to go to again. Please feel free to leave comments below.
This has been an amazing last couple of days! This is more of a two day trip, maybe even a three day trip. On this adventure we went through La Quinta to Salton Sea where I got stuck in fish bone quick sand, then to Bombay Beach, then on to Salvation Mountain, Slab City, East Jesus and finally to an over night in Calexico. The next day we headed for Mexicali, Mexico, Plaster City, the last operating non tourist narrow gauge in the United States, Jacumba and finally home. This was two very full days. Quite a fun adventure!
We took a little trip to Santa Cruz and I thought it would be great to get some pictures at Maverick’s Beach. Well that didn’t work out. But I thought I’d put a couple out anyway. I also went looking through some other pictures I plan to enlarge and thought I’d select a couple to to add to this post. Hope you enjoy.
Row 1: Maverick’s, Maverick’s,Copenhagen Snow, and Zagreb
Row 2: Yosemite, Trinidad, Ca, Yellowstone, and Malta
Row 3: Devil’s Tower, Bled, Yellowstone, and Venice
We took a summer vacation through 10 states. We went through Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona and California. I just wanted to share a few pictures. We had a chance to go to some amazing places. We went to Yellowstone, Devil’s Tower, Little Big Horn, Deadwood, Sturgis, Fort Collins, Georgetown, and Durango. Hope you enjoy.
We went back east to visit long term friends. We had a great time traveling the Shenandoah Valley State Park and taking time to visit a local navy base. Always nice to visit friends and get an opportunity to see nature at its best.
We just returned from a fabulous trip to Santa Cruz County, near the town of Pescadero. So many beautiful hiking trails along the coast! You could never pick out the best one. Most of the trails in Ana Nuevo State Park lead to the ocean. This was a great time to go exploring and hiking. It was, however, a bit muddy. I hope you enjoy the few pictures I have selected to post. I always enjoy your comments!
Ray and I decided to go up to Calaveras County for Thanksgiving this year..We wanted to spend time with our youngest, Kelsey, her Fiancé, Mark, and his parents. We all decided to go to Big Trees. We had a great time. Here are a few pictures.
Rayleen and I went camping out in Desert Hot Springs. It certainly is a hot desert and hope does spring eternal. 29 Palms does have an artsy aspect to it. We found some strange and interesting places.
In 29 Palms we visited: 1) Pioneertown, an old Hollywood set for westerns, now a tourist attraction with interesting buildings and a real cool eatery. 2) Christ Park, an exhibit of New Testament moments. 3) The Institute of Metaphysics, 4) Noah Purifoy Desert Art is a fine collection of desert art made, I think, mostly from found items. 5) These last three places were located next to each other: Crochet Museum, Bubble Beauty Salon and Joshua Tree Saloon. All very interesting and worth a visit. The hamburgers at the saloon were incredible.
Ray and I just got back from an amazing trip. We went to Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Italy. We went to UNESCO World Heritage Sites at Plitvice and Split. We also we to Sarajevo, Dubrovnik, Postojna Cave, St. Marks, Venice, Trestie, Zagreb and so much more. It was a great trip. We were there for two weeks. A fun and exciting trip. Hope you enjoy a few of the pictures.
