Strathearn Park, Simi Valley, California
When I read about an interesting place to visit, I save it on my Google Maps. My map has hundreds of places across the USA and is very handy when going on road trips. If I am going away for a day or a weekend, I can look at it and find interesting places to…

More Red Rocks & Badlands in Southern California
Why am I so obsessed with Red Rocks? I loved them when I saw them in Southern Utah and became obsessed when I found out Southern California has them, too. There is a hike in Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park in Trabuco Canyon, California that leads to Red Rocks. The area dates back to 20 –…

Hot Springs. Dates. Slot Canyon. An Aggressive Fly. Turtles F**ing.
Near Death Valley are hot springs the public can use. I stayed at Tecopa Hot Springs for one night. They have different types of rooms/cabins, some with showers and some of the rooms had a little bit of a walk to the showers and hot springs. I booked a room that would have required the…

A Little Bit into Nevada
During a recent trip to Death Valley with my dude, I had time to explore some other places nearby in both Nevada and California. In Beatty, Nevada, we stayed in a Motel 6. The gentleman at the front desk was kind and the room was clean & quiet with a nice view. Beatty has very…

Redwoods Grove in SoCal
Recently, I was staying down in Irvine, CA. Since traffic is so awful in Southern California, I seldom have the patience to drive south to Orange County despite having a list of places that I want to see. So, since I was there with a hotel room, I explored. Redwood trees are mostly found in…

American Military Museum
If you are driving down Rosemead Boulevard in South El Monte, you will pass a lot with a bunch of vehicles. You might think it is just some kind of parking lot or prop house, but it is actually an outdoor military museum. When I went, I nearly drove past it. The American Military Museum…

Old Timey Air-Raid Sirens
Earlier in the year, Esotouric posted about WWII air-raid sirens that still remain up throughout Los Angeles. I became slightly obsessed with them, though I have only sought out a few so far. They were put up in 1942. I often see strange streetlights or objects on poles and wonder what they are, so was…
