Just got back from a weeklong trip to the Great Basin area. We left on a Friday and drove into Vegas, staying cheap in the Fremont Street area – something I wont ever do again. Pretty much all the bad parts of Vegas with none of the good. On Saturday we visited Michael Heizer’s [...] Took a nice, gentle paced, car camping trip to the Flagstaff area over the long 4th of July weekend. We camped at the Forest Service ‘Bonito’ campground, just outside the Sunset Crater National Monument – as the Lockett Meadow campground was closed due to the recent Schultz Fire. While the weather wasn’t as cool [...] Took a trip out to Mule Hoof Bend this weekend. It’s a ghost town, located north and west of Globe, AZ about an hour or so. The weather was nice – cooled down very nicely after the sun went down. Spent some time playing around with long exposure photography at night and looking at [...] After Kim’s Prius was totaled by some inattentive jackass in a parking lot, she opted to replace it with a Toyota 4Runner – since my FJ40 is still of little help in exploring the great outdoors. The 4th gen 4Runner is a great truck – a true SUV with frame-on-body construction, a solid rear [...] Rode along with the Land Cruiser club on an outing through Box Canyon to the Coke Ovens. Really beautiful scenery. Unfortunately we encountered an injured ATV rider and that kind of put an early end to our run. Fortunately one of the club members used to be a paramedic and was able to assist [...] Traveled to San Diego over Thanksgiving weekend this year. The weather wasn’t great unfortunately – with calm fair days on Thursday & Friday and breezy, but damp days Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we did get a chance to sail on one of the San Diego Maritime Museum’s replica tallships – the ‘Californian’. It [...] Took a long weekend trip to San Diego & Disneyland to celebrate Kim’s birthday. Got into San Diego on Friday afternoon and flew kites in the Mission Bay park area. On Saturday we spent a nice day walking along the Pacific Beach boardwalk and then renting a sailboat in the Sail Bay area near [...] Had a fun trip to Wyoming in August for the family reunion. Got in to Billings, MT on Saturday and drove down to Buffalo for a BBQ hosted at Mark & Jennie’s place. On Sunday there was a big dinner at the Wagonbox in Story, followed by a trip to Thermopolis and a swim [...] Got back recently from a fun week in Montana with our friend Warren & Jen. We decided to drive up in order to escape the high prices for airfare and so we could take our hiking & camping gear with us. Warren & Jen had just purchased a nice, almost-new Airstream trailer they wanted [...] Kim and I went to the RedBull Air Races in San Diego again this year. Last year was a great time, so we figured we might as well do it again. It’s a bit price of an event – cheaper than going to a Formula 1 race, but not by a whole lot. That [...] |
