Pioneertown
During a trip to Joshua Tree National Park, a side trip planned by photographer friends from Inland Empire Photo Club in Temecula, California took us to Pioneertown, California. Not being a fan of kitschy, touristy stuff, I was pleasantly surprised to find the history behind this little town. During my early childhood, Roy Rogers built this town…

Sierra Twinkle
Who knows where the time goes? Sometimes I join the prompts given by WordPress, oftentimes, I’m way busy in whatever it is that takes away the time!

I grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in Maryland until two years ago and often wonder why I’m so enamored with the West Coast. Driving for hours and hours across this great land gives a lot of time for thinking or not depending on what book I’m listening to or what is on Sirius radio. 😉 Speaking…

Hiking the Volcanos and Craters of the Eastern Sierras, Oh my!
This has been a summer of exploring Long Valley Caldera (looking for natural hot springs), and traveling to different craters. In the next post, I continue to visit craters in Oregon and Washington. On the Summer Solstice, I continued my quest for a hot spring. I had found one the week before, see post about…
