http://outsideisamericablog.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
A journal about photography, road trips, and trains, with occasional detours into geekdom. November 18, 2011. UP No 844 in all her glory, climbing Donner Pass in April 2009. (click pics to enlarge). It was hard to resist a steam chase, especially when 844 is storming up Cajon on my birthday! So my family kindly let me loose for a road trip. To get in the mood, here are a few photos from the last time I followed 844, an April 2009 trip over Donner Pass. November 6, 2011. Changing of the Guard. Center for ...

Outside Is America: August 2011
http://outsideisamericablog.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A journal about photography, road trips, and trains, with occasional detours into geekdom. August 1, 2011. While preparing for our June visit to the Salton Sea (see last post. I learned about a desert attraction that we just had. To visit: Salvation Mountain, a three-story tribute to God near the tiny railroad junction town of Niland. Salvation Mountain is the creation of 79-year old Leonard Knight, who came to this place in 1984 and has been expressing his intense love for God ever since. Trucks and oth...

http://outsideisamericablog.blogspot.com/2011/12/come-sail-away.html
A journal about photography, road trips, and trains, with occasional detours into geekdom. December 31, 2011. Sails into Moss Landing Harbor in November 2011. (click photos to enlarge). 2011 is hours away from ending as I write this post, so here are a few photos to finish off the year. Moss Landing Harbor hosted a classy lady in November when the sailing ship Lady Washington. Movies and even the film Star Trek Generations. Tourists make for a fine photo as they watch birds and sea life in the harbor.

http://outsideisamericablog.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
A journal about photography, road trips, and trains, with occasional detours into geekdom. October 31, 2011. Happy Halloween: Now and Then. Here's a little All Hallow's Eve foolishness. At left, we're at an annual Halloween party thrown by one of Laura's co-workers. . . . next year I'll plan ahead on the costume. Good thing I didn't need any makeup. (click photos below to enlarge). Even the cats got into the act, as Oliver and Atticus dressed up this year as stuffed animals. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Outside Is America: Sunset at Rio Del Mar
http://outsideisamericablog.blogspot.com/2012/01/sunset-at-rio-del-mar.html
A journal about photography, road trips, and trains, with occasional detours into geekdom. January 15, 2012. Sunset at Rio Del Mar. Sunset views at Rio Del Mar, January 4, 2012 (click photos to enlarge). One of the nice perks about working with HRmarketer is our office location: literally one block from the Pacific Ocean at Rio Del Mar, California (south of Santa Cruz). Even though I only drive to the office once or twice a week, it's pretty sweet to work near the beach! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Slowing near Lenwood, Cal., for the arrival in Barstow . . . a magnificent machine.
