Our one evening in LA for the TravBuddy Meetup.

A full two weeks to see as much scenery as we can, including gardens, waterfalls, mountains, waterfalls, canyons, waterfalls, flowers, waterfalls, this time in more of the great northwestern part of the U.S. Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, back to Idaho, Nevada and home.

Just to help take the tarnish off our fine community.

A quick day trip to Bakersfield to watch and listen to one of my all-time favorite country sings.

Every few years we try to make a trip up to Ponderosa, a wonderful little grocery, restaurant, bar, and gas station at the 7,200 foot level just to see the beauty of the area. It's not on the map, just a stopping point in the Sequoia National Forest. Last time it was earlier and snow was still there. Not this time. Spring is really here this time.

A quick trip to our coastal area to visit a special weekend wine festival and enjoy some great music with a special couple of friends.

Each year I attend as many Renaissance Faires as I can and this years start is right here in my home town.

Early spring in the San Joaquin Valley brings beautiful color as the trees blossom to begin a new crop.

Have you ever seen a tractor from the past? We have a collector near us that shows off his collection. I took the time to go and see them and take pictures.

The end of a short vacation to northen California.
