Desert Things
The desert is full of weird things. I think that’s one of my favorite parts of the desert. How normal it is to stumble onto strange objects or structures in the middle of nowhere. This thing, we found in Bombay Beach at the Salton Sea. It’s an old airplane that got turned into an interesting […]
Unexpected Arizona
I thought Arizona would be flat, and mostly brown. I was wrong. We woke up early to begin the long drive to Tucson from Holbrook.

The Big Hike to Hawksbill Mountain
I never posted the pictures from the Big Hike last fall. It was a one mile hike to the top of a mountain that stood tall along the Blue Ridge mountain range. Towards the end of the hike the trail was nearly straight up the side of the mountain! The views from the top of Hawksbill Mountain […]

I found myself having a strange desire to go to California.. Houston seemed different than other cities I have […]
