Off the beaten path
No one was available to join me on today’s ride, which provides a few benefits. Primarily, I have no time schedule and no one complains about the u-turns. Today I took the Night Train out and rode up I-5 to the 126 west which took me through places like Piru, Santa Paula and Saticoy. This video is the ride back from Like Piru to the Piru Motocross Park. It was totally unexpected to stumble upon the motocross park, but was entertaining to watch. Some of these guys got some big air. I posted some pictures if you want to check …

Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse

Don Quijote’s Restaurante in downtown Valparaiso definitely is the exception to the rule as far as good food is concerned. I first heard of the place when driving here from Chicago. There …

Valley of Fire
Valley of Fire [adrotate group=”6″] Amazing landscape in the Nevada desert My girlfriend and I were scheduled to be in Vegas longer than we needed to be so we decided to spend a day in the Mojave Desert, taking pictures. We have a good friend that is a professional photographer and he agreed to show us some of his favorite spots in the Valley of Fire State Park. He also gave us some photography tips that we put to good use, immediately. This place has some amazing rock formations and landscapes that were enhanced by the winter skies. There was …
