Sugar Pine Point State Park, Ca (Lake Tahoe)
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!!:^). |

"Indomitable Spirit"This is what I have been concentrating on lately. Since I attained my degree. I decided to learn Sankai Kenpo Karate! I love it! It's challenging on my body, but it puts my mind at peace and given me so much self confidence. I've met some awesome individuals here that make Karate so much fun. I had to earn White,Yellow, Orange, Purple, Blue, Green, Red, Red Advance, Beginning Brown, and I have been given the honor of skipping my Intermediate Brown Belt and now I have my Advance Brown Belt. and Black Belt is next! |  | | When I started as a White Belt:) |

Happy Trails and More To Come!! One of my favorite things to do is to stop (if safely) and enjoy all those historical markers you see along the highways or any where else you may find them. You just never know where they are. I am really keen is finding them. My hubby says I have radar when it comes to them. I will always add them to "things to see or do" or "off the beaten path". They are like finding a treasure and sometimes especially in California they are like a treasure hunt. So enjoy them when you see one. They are usually a wealth of information of local history. |  | | Cowboy Memorial~ Caliente, Ca |

|  | 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. Trona, Ca Garlock, Ca Freeman Junction, Ca Inyokern, Ca Johannesburg, Ca Red Mountain, Ca Ridgecrest, Ca Palmdale, Ca Edwards, Ca. Barstow, 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, Virginia Air & Space Museum Mural, Bishop, Ca. |  | | Downtown Mural Bakersfields, Ca! |
