Blog-dammit

I am not going to start this post off with an apology for my lack of activity these past few weeks. In fact, I am just going to ignore that fact and pretend everything is normal – because it is, other than I have not been blogging. So, to catch...

Empire Mine

Empire Mine is “one of the oldest, largest, deepest, longest and richest gold mines in California.” It also happened to be right down the road from us, show Kerri showed me around her local state park. While the mine shaft itself was cool and all, it was the Estate and...

Nuttin

The title pretty much says it. It has been a full week of nuttin’ doing, at least in the adventure department. Instead we are hanging out in Grass Valley with Kerri’s parents (which are quite nice I might add), eating home cooked meals, taking the occasional hot shower and dodging...

American Girl Mine Road

I’d like to say I have some manly adventures to report, but I continue to fail those vicarious followers. Since leaving our boondocking location near Plaster City, California, it has been days of work and evenings of happy-hours and socializing. Not necessarily picturesque environments to tease people into the van...

Plaster City

Following the short trip into the greater LA area, I returned to camping with the Airstream crowd who took Big Blue along with them from Borrego Springs about an hour South just of Interstate 8 not far out of El Centro, CA at an OHV area called Plaster City (because...

Lazy Lizard Saloon

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...

Ricardo Breceda sculptures

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...

Font’s Point

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....

Distracted in Borrego Springs

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...

Anza-Borrego Desert

The shindig continues even with some additions to the crowd of RVs in the desert. I believe we were above 15 trailers, buses, and vans all camping within this quarter mile stretch of desert. Personally, I’m just along for the ride, meeting some new folks and others that I hoped...
