I still have yet to leave California, instead choosing to hang around with the small Airstream crowd that have continued to let me “van-up” the place. Last night, we… …instead of me writing up a blog post describing what happened, let me just send you off to Aluminarium who does...
Surrounding Borrego Springs is more than 100 sculptures, all part of an enormous outdoor gallery of Ricardo Breceda’s visions of creatures that once roamed this part of California. A more dedicated photographer might visit the sculptures during ideal lighting – over many mornings and evenings – to capture the full...
I appear to be one of the last to head out and explore Font’s Point in the Borrego Springs State Park. I kept hearing stories of the sunsets from the view point that overlooks the badlands, and on one of the final nights in Borrego Springs the trek was made....
Long time readers know my disdain towards California, but here I still am – in California – 8 days after being van-bound again. You would think that I have many adventurous stories to tell of Moose and I, but I do not. In fact, blogging (or even snapping photos) has...

My second to last day on the island was spent checking off one final box on my list. While I had driven and explored the entire circumference of the island along the roughly 200 miles of highway that circumnavigate the island, I had failed to drive the 50 miles of...
Pu’Ukohola Heiau National Historic Site was the final feature I visited on the island and the 4th (and final) National Park on the big island. The site preserves the ruins of the last major Ancient Hawaiian temple, and other historic sites. The Temple on the Hill of the Whale was...
Pololū is the Northernmost series of erosional valleys forming the east coast of Kohala Mountain on the big island. The valley forms a deep cut in the side of Kohala Mountain where Pololū stream makes it’s way to the ocean. It also happens to be the a-typical scenery of Hawaii...
Lapakahi State Historical Park is a large area of ruins from an Ancient Hawaiian fishing village, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Not much remains but for a reconstructed hut, a few stone walls, and a trail that lead you to the ocean and back. Coming...
