Otherwise known as the Big Summer Trip that Never Was. Just didn’t pan out, what with being unemployed and gas prices topping over $4.50. It being fall, seems like this summer’s trip probably won’t happen. I’ve been keeping notes, and we sure had some big plans. Mighty big plans…
- Emperor Norton’s grave in Colma, for good luck
- Pick up Sigma 10-20mm lens from BorrowLenses.com in San Mateo
- Winchester Mystery House
- visit Jenna in Monterey
- Forestiere Underground Gardens in Fresno
- Amargosa Opera House
- Airplane graveyards of the Mojave
- The Museum of Jurassic Technology
- Homepie in Palm Springs
- abandoned water park on Edom Hill
- my old house, high school, Desert Memorial Cemetery, other nostalgia
- old friend Angela Kinley (if I can find her)
- Desert Center CA, with Llamas and palm tree geometry
- shore of the Salton Sea
- Salvation Mountain
- Mexico! Because we can!
- Cabazon Dinosaurs (on way back)
Sigh. Maybe in a better year I’ll come and visit this little post o’ mine and negotiate my way back to an awesome trip. It’s not as we’ve never pulled this sorta thing off before. Better luck next time.

You better off just taking the plane and come here to see the mysterious white thing called “Snow”.
What about north? Portland? Seattle? Vancouver? Just bought planes ticket for Vancouver, BTW.
It’s a good plan. You’ll get a chance, just not this summer. The desert’s better in April… but camping is a little wetter.
