The Lost Coast
January 6, 2008
We had the opportunity to spend one of our days taking a trip to the Lost Coast. From Trinidad it was probably about a 2 hour drive. That was made up of a 45 minute drive to the town of Ferndale a quaint little Victorian town nestled in the pastures of California and then an […]

YNP: Burned Trees in the Valley
October 17, 2005
We went out to Yosemite again this weekend. I don’t know what it is but no matter how much i’ve tried i always end up taking pictures of half-dome. It’s an amazing thing, but i’ve been trying to find other items of note in the valley. This weekend found the leaves about one to two […]

North Beach Pub Crawl
December 4, 2006
After the waltzing across the bridge there was some walking around North Beach before dinner. This lead to an impromptu bar crawl – a warm-up to real one that Michelle and Mark will be hosting come January. Here we are at the first stop, Vesivio, a well-known San Francisco bar located right next to City […]

All the way from London
December 5, 2006
Pictured here – the “Santa Cruz,” approaching a final destination of San Francisco by way (at some point) of London. (it’s probably hard to see that here, but it’s written on the back of the ship!) The freighter entered the Golden Gate just as I ran out of film. I quickly reloaded, all the while […]

El Cap From The Valley Floor
April 29, 2007
El Capitan from the valley floor is immense. The base of the mountain is right behind that patch of trees and the sheer cliff face rises above the valley more than 3500 feet. El Cap is the largest exposed granite slab on earth. Late morning brought warming weather making the clouds around its dome change […]

Snow Melt – Merced River
June 25, 2008
It’s hard to tell if rocks are 3 feet under water or 3 inches when the river is flowing in the springtime.

June 24, 2008
1 Year ago today we all gathered in Avalon, NJ. It was quite a nice time. This year we’re in San Francisco. It’s cold and foggy (also quite nice!).

YNP: On top of Yosemite Falls
April 28, 2005
This is what Yosemite looks like at the top. My little GPS thingy said we were at 6666.something feet +/-26 feet. If you look carefully in the background of this picture you can see evidence that we weren’t the only people to make it to the top. In fact there were a variety of people […]

Feather River Dam – Detail
July 22, 2007
Here’s another shot of the Feather River Dam. The original image can be seen here. The dam is pretty cool. There’s not really a whole lot going on there. The dam sits there and i assume the water that was flowing through it was just a little bit of overflow or something as there’s no […]

Back at Vesuvio…
December 10, 2006
Here’s another image of the bar keep at Vesuvio trying to keep everybody happy. Check back monday/tuesday as “SantaCon 2006 – San Francisco” should be developed and ready. Well – i know for a fact that it’s developed as i’ve left it all hanging from the shower curtain rod. There a lot of stuff, hopefully […]

Climbers – Yosemite High Country
September 19, 2006
We stayed up at one of the Yosemite High Camps this past weekend – May Lake to be specific – highly recommended. Tour buses and the tourists that go along with them never really make it out of the vally. At 10,000 feet they’re a distant memory. The camp was great and there are 4 […]

Trinidad Bay
January 14, 2008
Down at the water, right past Murphy’s Grocery Store is what i assume is called the Trinidad Dock. At least it’s located in Trinidad and is a place where people can launch their small boats. There is also a place for large fishing boats to dock and offload their catch as well as take on […]

One From The Vault
August 2, 2007
A couple of years ago (September ’05) Jason and I took off for Yosemite one weekend. We packed the car full of medium and large format cameras, related equipment and a couple of sleeping bags and left after work on a Friday evening. Jason had rented a couple of 8×10 lenses to play with and […]

Merced River: Surging Water
June 30, 2008
There are places that you can stand along the banks of the river where the trees and rocks can’t obscure your view of the river. If you ignore your peripheral vision and focus on what’s right in front of you the flowing river can take on new and different forms. This is what I tend […]

Hoover Dam Overflow Drain
July 11, 2007
I was able to stop off at the Hoover Dam while in the Nevada/Arizona area back in May. I was struck by the enormity of these overflow drains. There’s one on each side of the dam and they provide a mechanism for the rapid egress of water which would otherwise lead to dam failure. Apparently […]

Specs – North Beach
December 6, 2006
Saturday night – fast-forward about 1 hour. Specs is a bar in North Beach with a lot of (interesting) history. The word i’ve heard (please take this with a grain of salt) is that it’s connected to the strip bar (now Larry Flynt’s Hustler club, or some such nonsense) upstairs via an old, now unused […]

Lighthouse South of Pescadero
November 10, 2005
This is a special post for Randi, who i talked to this evening for the first time in about 8 months or so! From talking to her I learned that there are at least 6 people that read this web page, up from 5 which is what i’d previously thought. I didn’t realize that 2+ […]
