GREETINGS FROM DOWNTOWN JAMUL, 20 NOVEMBER 2014

                           SUNSET AT PIO PICO. YEP, WE ARE BACK FOR A COUPLE MONTHS

SEAL PUP SUNNiNG WITH MOM.

Oh the responsibility of raising kids in La Jolla. After they finish this workout, they will take a nap.

HEY RALPH, THAT WAS TUBULAR GNARLY.

These guys, and a whole bunch more, were cavorting around like a bunch of kids. I think they are natives here.

BEACH BABE

Weird things grow at La Jolla. Notice the trees too.

SURFS UP KAWABUNGA

Good day for surfing, diving swimming and kayaking. It was kind of neat watching the seals and the people enjoying the surf together.

CLIFFS AT THE COVE

The surf was up, the gulls were doing aerobatics, and the powerful sounds of the waves breaking on the cliffs made for a very pleasant day.

FROM COVE TO SHINNING SHORES

This is the view of the San Diego coastline from La Jolla Cove, looking North to La Jolla Shores. Pretty nice weather for November.

WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA

It's nor really the Hotel California, but it could be. It's the first thing I thought of when I spotted it from the beach at La Jolla Cove.

GETTIN DOWN WITH THE BREHMS, 4 OCTOBER, 2014

MOON RISE IN TONOPAUGH

MEMORIES OF DAYS GONE BY

If you closed down the Starbucks and Burger King, removed the cars from the streets, and replaced them with horses, mules, donkeys and wagons, Virginia city would look 130 years older.

THE VIRGIN OF VIRGINIA CITY

Being camped as close as we were to Virginia City, we had to make the climb up the mountain. Even though the town is primarily a tourist trap, it still retains a genuine feel of antiquity, and a huge town that lived on silver.

BIGGEST LITTLE CITY IN THE WORLD

I'm not sure why, but the drivers in Reno are the most detached from their driving as any place I've been. Several times I expected to be hit, and even thought about taking a cab. The cab drivers are worse than the general population. But we forced ourselves to have fun any way.

TRUCKEE RIVER FLOWING ALONG SIDE OUR CAMP

When we left Oregon, we went to Sparks, Nevada. We camped on the banks of the Truckee River. This picture was taken from the campground. The GRAND SIERRA RESORT in the background.

COLORADO RIVER SNAKING IT'S WAY THROUGH PARKER

I am always left a little breathless at the stark beauty of the desert, sharp pinnacles of the mountains, and the beautiful blue river flowing through it all at Parker AZ.

SUNSET AT EMERALD COVE

The two things I can never pass up with the camera, is water; lakes rivers, waterfalls and beaches. The other is sunrises and sunsets. Behold the gorgeous desert sunset at Parker.

MANNY, MOE, AND JACKASS

These guys love the campers. They brazenly examine the sites, pose for photos, sell beads to the tourists and sing karaoke in the bar.

DEMOCRATIC FUND RAISER AT EMERALD COVE

The burros have been prolific since our last visit to Parker. They are in the hills, on the roads, and as you can see here, in the campground.

WELL BLESS MY SOUL, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?

While at Emerald Cove, we were forced to get new membership cards. The management could not believe we were that good looking and wanted to take new pictures just to make sure.
Elvis was there getting a new card too, and insisted on having his picture taken with Diane.

BEST WISHES FROM LAKEVIEW, OREGON, COWBOY COUNTRY 9 SEPT. 2014

THIS SAY'S IT ALL

Off of highway 140 is a dirt road that leads to Junipers. This obviously is the sign that helps find the dirt road. Junipers is an 8000 acre working cattle ranch with a lake, and a campground right smack dab in the middle of it. It is almost on the Oregon, California, Nevada border. The town, which is 14 miles from the ranch, has a population of 2300 and is the County Seat for Lake County. Elevation 5000 feet.
