Natural Wonders in Utah
Sunday we paused on our journey east to spend some time at the Arches National Park. While in the area we also drove up to the Canyon Lands National Park and visited the Utah State Park known as Dead Horse Point.
Travel
Wild, Wild West
After starting with a relatively serene view of Yosemite’s Half Dome, our journey through the desert revealed some elements of the untamed west. In eastern Nevada we drove past many “dust devils”, and a bit later spied this intense gateway arch that was completely covered with deer antlers, a sight quite unlike any we’ve seen … Read more
On the Road Again
We’re on the road again! Tomorrow takes us through Yosemite on 120, and after skirting Mono Lake we’re in for a long day’s drive through the desert, passing through Tonopah and Ely on our way to western Utah. We’ll visit Arches National Park on Sunday, and points beyond as the week progresses. Updates and photos … Read more
Images from Tahoe
I’ve put together a select sampling of the photos I took when we were up at Tahoe recently. Here’s a teaser; the rest of the images are over at RiverSide-Cafe.com.
Geocaching at Lake Tahoe

It’s not as easy as it may sound. We started at Logan Shoals Vista Point and located our … Read more
Tahoe Getaway
We took off a couple of days last week and spent a few days up at Lake Tahoe. The weather was great, with warm temps and great visibility. Spent some time geocaching, driving around the lake taking pictures, and just enjoying the change of pace. We even snuck in a quick trip over to Bridgeport … Read more
View from the North
I haven’t had a chance to read all the pages yet, but what I’ve read so far has been fascinating! I’m talking about a first person trip report posted by someone who recently spent some time as a tourist in North Korea. Full of images (some taken w/out permission!) and commentary, the travelogue offers a … Read more
More Fun with GPS
A while back I mentioned the sport of geocaching, which involves using one’s GPS receiver to try and locate cleverly hidden objects hidden ostensibly in plain sight. From our friends in the UK comes a new GPS related sport known as GPS Drawing. Simply put, GPS drawing is the act of creating large-scale drawings using … Read more
Takin’ it Easy
Spent a pleasant and relaxing weekend down in Monterey. Had good meals at both Phil’s Fishmarket on the way down, and tried Monterey Joe’s for dinner. M-Joe’s was about what you’d expect from a place named *anything* Joe’s; hearty and not bad. Spent most of the time down by the water in Pacific Grove. The … Read more
Knock Me Over With a Feather!
I recently joined a photo sharing and review site known as photoSIG. I uploaded an image that family and friends have commented favorably upon, steeled for all manner of negative comments, or perhaps worse, no comments at all! I’ve seen plenty of photos on the site that have nary one word of feedback … Imagine … Read more
