South of Fort Bragg

Not Quite South of Fort Bragg Our RV park of choice is just South of the Noyo Harbor. It's technically still in town. But this section of coast just to the south of Fort Bragg is another great place for a walk and views of the ocean. It's especially great at sunset. We had a…

It offers breathtaking views of some of the most rugged coastline California has to offer. It's a stark contrast to the Malibu beaches that people usually think of when talking about California beaches. Jug Handle…

Fort Bragg Sunrise

Sunrise in Fort Bragg After all the work on our RV remodel and a nice, restful two months in Morro Bay, we decided to set out on our first real roadtrip. We had a starting point and start date, but no end date. We also knew we wanted to spend the summer on the West…

Morro Bay Marina

The Morro Bay Marina We've been to this area many times before, but we've never gone down to the Marina in Morro Bay. In an effort to explore all of the areas we have previously ignored, we took a drive down Main Street all the way through to the marina out by the state park…

The Black Hill of Morro Bay

The Black Hill of Morro Bay Susan's family has been vacationing in the Morro Bay/ Caucus area for decades. I got brought into the tradition when Su and I were dating.

The Subway – Zion National Park

Finding the Subway Trail Most of the National Parks I've visited follow a similar layout. You enter through the main gate and are then in the park. Most trails and "attractions" are within those park boundaries. But Zion is different. One of the truly great places to visit, namely, the Subway, is outside of the…

The Narrows – Zion National Park

The Narrows in Zion National Park We chose to spend one of our days in the park exploring The Narrows. This section of the park is farther up in the canyon. The walls narrow in and the river gets higher as it is forced to wind its way down the narrow Canyon. This "trail" requires…

Chico, CA – Visiting for the Holidays

Where have we been? That's a good question. We decided to take a break from everything for a month and figure out what our future looks like. While there may not have been much resolution on the future, we did need to take a break from everything. Working on set for major TV shows and…

Why You Should be Shooting Your Photos in Raw

I've been going through my old archives of photos I've taken over the years. There are trips from all over the world. But the saddest thing I've come across is that for some of my early pictures, I wasn't shooting in raw. They were in JPEG. JPEGs can be great for certain things. Sometimes…
