Thundering Horse Fountain ~Scottsdale, Az.
Howdy and Welcome to my pages!! One thing you will notice about me is I love history and how it has shaped our countries. Finding those historical markers is like a treasure hunt to me. Especially if you live in CALIFORNIA, because they put them in all kinds of locations. I tend to visit those places the most people just drive by. So many of pages will probably never be TOP 5, but I feel compelled to add them so people will know about them. It's fun finding some little remote towns that no one thought of adding.
I can never just drive by and if I do, it is because of my family...LOL....the hubby, "I will be in the the car!"...the boys...."ugg....mom....stop taking pictures...we want to go home...make her stop dad....kids, that is impossible....:-)!"
My goal is to enlighten everyone of all those little towns or places that think there is nothing to see or enjoy. You can usually find always something somewhere to explore to create your next adventure. So when I can, I get out and explore all those local destinations as much as I can.
I will always arranged the newest tips at the top so you only have to rate those if you wish, except for my Washington DC page. Tried keep information organized.
I take loads of photographs so I have decided to add them as much as I can with information, so I am in the process of updating many places. Please take a look when you can. Happy Trails!!:^). |

| | Desert Towns - Living - Ghost:-) These desert communities have so much in common. The Railroad, Gold, Silver, Borates, Tunsten, and Salt brought people to their valleys to be discovered or they were just looking for some land to call their home. For some, dumped on some desert land by the Government and said there you go...home. So when you get the opportunity please check out my Mojave and Death Valley desert communities such as: Baker, Ca. Bodie, Ca. Boron, Ca. Cabazon, Ca. Calico, Ca, Cantil, Ca-Red Rock Canyon State Park Death Valley, Ca Kramer Junction, Ca. Lancaster, Ca. Mojave,Ca Randsburg, Ca Rosamond, Ca.

| | MURALS - ROCK! To me murals are very much part of our Americana history. I can remember traveling the countryside and seeing the old advertisements of Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, John Deer, etc. Erected on the side of some old country barn or along some lonesome drug store along Main Street. By the way, have you ever notice that most old towns have a main street?..lol! Anyways here is a link to my mural pages: Tehachapi’s Murals Boron Mural Bakerfields Murals Fallbrook Mural Fillmore Mural Lancaster Murals Santa Paula Murals Ventura Murals Fort Walton Beach, Fl Murals Guthrie, Ok Murals
Forth Worth, Tx, Vistor Center and Rodeo Plaza Murals Rosamond, Ca. Barstow, Ca Cottonwood Old Town, Az Carlsbad, Ca. Flagstaff, Az |

| | Striving as a family! My younger son is Autistic. It is not a easy life, but yet I thank God everyday for him. He is my blessing and as much as my other son who had a tough time with his autism. We are all learning together in reaching those little learning goals. Never give up and never surrender.

"Indomitable Spirit"This is what I have been concentrating on lately. Something I have always wanted to do and so after finishing and getting my BSBM Degree I decided to try my hand in Sankai Kenpo Karate! I love it! It's challenging on my body, but it puts my mind at peace. It has also given me so much more self confidence. I had to earn White, Yellow, Orange, Purple, Blue, Green, Red, Red Advance and now I have my Beginner Brown Belt....yippy!!and plan on getting my Black Belt someday!.

Hi Dee, thanks for your ratings and nice comment on my Zürich page. I love eating in dining cars on trains, even if they're not as elegant as they used to be. Zürich is an invigorating city, and I hope to return some time. | lynnehamman Sat Jul 4, 2009 02:52 UTC
Thank you Dee for visiting my Sunderbans page. We are still away at the Barrier Reef in Queensland- I left my lap-top charger at home unfortunately- now in Internet cafe. Will get back to you soon. Regards | goutammitra Sat Jul 4, 2009 02:18 UTC
