Road Trip Day 6 [adrotate group=”6″] New Mexico Scenery Today is day six of our road trip. As we were headed east on I-40 we saw a sign informing us of a volcano and ice caves just 25 miles away. With all the news about volcanoes recently, a detour was in order. We ended up at Bandera Volcano and ice cave. It was pretty cool, no pun intended, and gave up a nice bit of exercise walking up and down the trails to see them. [adrotate group=”1″]
Road Trip Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Mesa Verde National Park Today’s photos are of Mesa Verde National Park. It is known for having some of the best preserved cliff dwellings that the Pueblo people used for 700 years. That is some endurable construction! It was cool seeing things that I have only seen pictures of. We needed to put some miles on, and we spent longer than anticipated at Mesa Verde, so we headed to Gallup, NM to hole up for the night. Just an FYI, starting Saturday, April 17, all National Parks will have free admission for a week. I …
Road Trip Photos, Day Four [adrotate group=”6″] Green River, UT to Cortez, CO Started off the day in one of Butch Cassidy’s old haunts, Green River, UT. We then headed over to Moab and Arches National Park. Beautiful place, and very photogenic. After several hours there we decided to head to CO. On the way we found a turnoff for Canyonlands National Park. I had never heard of it before, but I have an annual pass for all the national parks, so a detour was made. Definitely looked like Indian country. Majestic. We ended up in Cortez, CO and had …
Day Three Road Trip Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Zion to Bryce to Green River, UT Woke up a few hundred yards from the entrance of Zion National Park, so we had to return. Tanya, Buddy and I walked along a river for a while, then drove through Zion to the other end. We decided to go to Arches National Park, but had to detour to Bryce Canyon first. This included the Dixie Forest and Red Canyon since they were on the way. Truly beautiful. We then headed towards Arches, but I-70 is so amazing, we had to stop and take more …
Road Trip, Day Two [adrotate group=”6″] Las Vegas, NV to Zion National Park Day two of our road trip began in Las Vegas, NV. The drive on I-15 North, as you leave NV takes you into the Virgin River Gorge, which is pretty amazing. I have driven it several times, but this is the first time I was able to get photos of the place. After a late lunch in St. George, UT we headed into Springdale which is where one of the entrances to Zion National Park. One visit there and you have to imagine what the first settlers …
Road Trip, Day One Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Los Angeles To Las Vegas The best road trips are those that have no destination, and that is what we are doing. Since we have no time schedule, it did not really matter that we got a late start. So, we spent the first night in Vegas. [adrotate group=”1″]
World Pillow Fight Day [adrotate group=”6″] Pershing Square, Los Angeles Today, flash mobs in cities around the world hosted pillow fights. These photos are from the event held in Los Angeles, CA at Pershing Square. It was supposed to be a 15 minute long event, but it lasted several minutes longer. It was a ton of fun to watch and I hope you enjoy the pictures. [adrotate group=”1″]
Calm Day On the Bay [adrotate group=”6″] Beautiful Spring Day at Pt Vicente After spending some time with my son, I decided to head back up to Pt Vicente to try and get some pictures of migrating whales. As soon as I picked my spot to photograph from, a couple guys that were already there proceeded to tell me about a couple dolphins that had been playing around in the cove beneath us. They showed me the pictures of the dolphins spinning in air, and basically acting like they were performing at Sea World or something. Naturally, once I got …
Beeping Easter Egg Hunt [adrotate group=”6″] Blind Childrens Center, Los Angeles Every once in a while I like to show a kinder, gentler baddog. When that feeling comes over me, I like to direct this kindness to underprivileged children. One of my favorite charities is the Anita Boden Foundation. Today, as a regular donor for the past several years, I was invited to attend the Blind Childrens Center’s Beeping Easter Egg Hunt. As you can see from the smiling faces, blind or not, everyone loves an Easter Egg Hunt. [adrotate group=”1″]
Ride to Tom’s Farm [adrotate group=”6″] Corona and Lake Elsinore Spring is here. Who says we do not have all four seasons here? It was a beautiful day, and a Sunday, so that meant it was time to meet my son for our weekly ride. This week we rode out to Tom’s Farm in Corona. Never been there before, but it seems to be a pretty popular hangout for bikers on Sundays. Daniel, Edson and I took a little ride over to Lake Elsinore to take a couple pictures since the first time Daniel and I tried a picture by …
