Northern Nevada, Off-roading Adventure
About a month ago I sold my Ural side car motorcycle and bought a used Polaris Rzr that I’m keeping at a friend’s house in Nevada to use when I visit my place and my good friends there. This past Memorial Day weekend I was invited to attend “Weekend on the Walker” (WoW), an event…
Scenes from Cambria California
Cambria is a very beautiful place on the coast of California just south of San Simeon where the famous Hearst’s Castle is located. The castle is about 2-3 miles north of town. I’ve been going here for years and have traveled by cars, trucks, RVs, and motorcycles. It’s a magical place of sorts with a…
Union Oyster House, Boston MA
Speaking of oysters… (reference previous post) The Union Oyster House is an interesting and historic restaurant located in Boston Massachusetts. I’m glad I had a chance to dine there. I’ve passed by this place by several times in the past while working in the city but this was the first time I actually stepped inside…
Fresh Oysters, Bodega Bay CA
Oysters are good both raw and cooked but oysters are also a love or hate thing, you either like them or you really dislike them. There seems to be no in-between heh! Personally I prefer to have cooked oysters but raw oyster shooters are good too! The best oysters I’ve ever had were at Bodega…
Jim ‘N Nick’s BBQ, Birmingham AL
I’ve tried BBQ restaurants at many cities during my travels and I’ve tried many different BBQ styles (dry, wet, and all the rest). I’ve waited in a line for over 6 hours to get BBQ at a famous spot (another story). Needless to say, I really like BBQ! While working in Birmingham Alabama last year,…

Santa Rosa Creek Trail, Cambria CA
There’s a really nice two mile coastal trail loop in Cambria California called Santa Rosa Creek Trail that is part of the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve and takes you on a hike from the tree covered path along the creek to the open fields on the cliff tops above the beach. It’s a very beautiful hike that’s…
San Simeon Pier and Elephant Seal Colony on the California Coast
This is another in my series of posts about traveling along the California coast. I have been to San Simeon numerous times as both a destination and a stop over while traveling on my way up and down the coast over the decades. It’s one of my favorite stops, plus there’s Hearst’s Castle to see…
Scenes from Cambria California
This is another installment in my California coastal travel series. I’ve stayed in the town of Cambria often during my coastal travels up and down the state of California over my five decades of living there. It’s a nice little town with a lot to offer including some very nice restaurants and great beach access.
Scenes from Big Sur, California
Throughout the years, when I lived in California, I traveled to and thru Big Sur many times by all kinds of vehicles. My favorite was when riding on my motorcycle, which I’ve done numerous times. Big Sur is by far one of the most beautiful places on the entire planet. It’s location on a rugged…
