Oh My Ears and Whiskers!

Yikes, more pictures from the past few months. A little Random with no story line.

A clear, crisp March day at the Mendocino Country coast

California Water Station Building

You will find these tidy little California Water station buildings around the state.

Interesting patterns found in the sand on the Oregon Coast

Mendocino Coastline what can I say... it's a mighty beautiful thing to behold.

Playing With My Food Again

The Artichokes looked to fine that day

more interesting patterns in the sand.

Weathered Quartz Veins in Sandstone

In this rock, the stone weathers faster than the quartz veins.

What can I say?, I sure enjoyed walking along the Morrow Bay Beach at sunset

Interesting weathering on this bit of Sandstone.

Weathered Ocean Stone

on this bit of rock, the veins weathered before the stone

In the Sierra Foothills East of Redding you will find miles of these stone "fences." Nicely stacked. aout 30 inches tall and about 4-feet wide. some of those rocks at the base are mighty big.

And less then a mile from the parched, dry foothills east of Redding, you cross a bridge over the Sacramento river and drive through lush, verdant landscapes such as this.

Driving along some of the backroads of Sacramento Valley I came across this derelict lunch wagon.

Impassable Bridge

This is a disfunctional bridge.They have removed all of the wooden beams of the road bed and sealed it from traffic. The first step is a whopper.

This is Eureka Lake. up by Eureka Peak in the Sierras.

Lookout Tower

This is the Mills Peak lookout tower perched way high up on the rocks.

Sand Pattern

More Sand Paterns

Stone Arch

This house had a nice stone arch and, unfortunately, many more cracks similar to the one on this arch.

This is Anderson Creek, right before it merges with the Sacramento River.

Symmetrical Victorian House in Red Bluff

Victorian House in Red Bluff, CA. Red Bluff has a pretty nice set of of well-maintained Victorians. This is just one of them.

Sand Pattern

OK, ok... this is the last Sand Pattern.

After a long day of house hunting it is refreshing to see a structure like this.... not propped up by Realtor verbiage of "Good Bones" or "Handyman Special." It's just an old shed in the process of becoming one with the elements.

Mushroom

In the Oregon Woods you can come across one of these beauties... How come I expect it to start dancing?

More of the bendy bits

A few more images from the bendy parts of the Adirondacks around Pennsylvania, Maryland & Virginia
Wiggling through the Adirondacks
Oct 18, 2018
Moseying about again... I had intended to head into the Northern parts of Quebec but once I arrived in Montreal, the Canadian weather informed me that only a fool would head up there in late October without a warm coat.
Washington
Aug 21, 2017
Although I was headed into Washington I drove up through Idaho to enter by Moscow, Idaho. I've heard reports of the areas beauty for years... time to check it out. Moscpw, to Pullman, Wa. and head west. Many beautiful bottom valleys.
Hey, Let's hit Idaho
Aug 10, 2017
So I decided to scoot over to Washington... First I had to get across Idaho.
Highway 162, the West End
Jun 05, 2016
This set of pictures is from the western end of highway 162 in California. It is a 125 mile long section of road, the greater portion unpaved, that takes you from highway 101 just south of Laytonville all of the way to Willows at Interstate 5.
A Jaunt to Nevada
Jun 04, 2016
Though San Francisco is the place to be, it was no more the place for me. It was the end of February. Time was up for my place in Pacific Heights and I wanted to get a little more distance between myself & the house remodel. My solution was to move to Fort Bragg for the remainder of the house thing. "But why, then, did you drive to Nevada?" You sagely ask. It's simple. Since we were selling the house, I needed a new mailing address.
Monticello, Utah
Sep 05, 2016
I headed west into Manti-La Sal National Forest, there was a long, twisty route that was just about what I was looking for. Manti-La Sal National Forest, is a well-kept secret and the locals want to keep it that way. It offeres a wide variety of terrain from jush forests to arid canyon lands. One ot the swell bits is the Dark Canyon Wilderness, still a largely unexplored area.
Out of Gunnerson, CO

After leaving Gunnerson, Colorado I took a detour through the San Juan National Forest.
A Layover Day in Buena Vista
Sep 03, 2016
Sometimes it's good to stop. All of those places you've been driving through... Well. People live there... Yes, they spend weeks at a time in one place... Years even, I hear tell. So if you want to feel like a real local, you have to spend at least a day in one place. I decided to settle down in Buena Vista it seemed like a nice place to call home.
