On the road....... - 06-13-2009, 11:53 PM


Well folks, I have started my journey.

I got into Santa Barbara today, and met with Bryant (Swanny338) and his significant other, Sarah (did I get it right, with the "H"?).

We cruised around town, saw some burned hills, some painted caves, and even ran into some friendly rock climbers who let us shoot them while climbing. :w00t:

After dinner, I gassed up the truck and headed out to LA. I'm holed up in a Ramada Inn right near the boardwalk in Huntington Beach.

Photos to follow later. I'm tired.

P.S. Thanks for showing me around Bryant. It was great to meet you and Sarah.

Had a great time today, glad our paths crossed.


Here is a post on my blog from the day's adventures. You get the full story, not the summary and lots of photos.

Bummer. I wish I had checked this before I checked out of the hotel this morning.

I walked around the beachfront for a couple of hours.
Then hopped in my truck and drove. And drove. And drove.

I am in a small town called Kingman Arizona right now. It's part of the historic Route 66.

Remember the cartoon movie "Cars"? I think I saw Doc and Mater running around town.

A few from Huntington Beach this morning.



This young lady was watching.....


These guys.


Some of the local color, trying to find their calm.


These two were trying to find their calm, in a different way.

Love that last shot. So simple, it is quite calming. Perfect composition.

Good stuff. Kingman is a cool town. You should get some good red rock stuff in AZ. No stop in Havasu?

Alan, you don't have a blog or something up? We have to check in here each day? No RSS feed?

Sorry Roger. No blog. No feed. Yes. You have to check in here every day. :)

I'll link the threads together.

Jonathan, probably not a stop in Havasu. If I did, I'd have to visit a friends parents. And I DON'T want to go there.
