[lastupdated format="l, F j, Y"] By Leave a Comment
If you are a fan of Mexican food and anywhere near San Diego, then you have no doubt heard of and probably visited multiple times Tacos el Gordo. This Tijuana transplant makes some of the best tacos I have ever had, and even though the line is practically always massive, I have never been disappointed […]

[lastupdated format="l, F j, Y"] By Leave a Comment
Anza Borrego State Park and Ocotillo Wells Recreation area are two places that have a wealth of areas to explore, most of which cannot be accessed without an offroad vehicle. Since Ocotillo Wells is one of the most popular off-roading regions in California, I partnered with Ironwoods and Polaris to rent one of their vehicles […]
Strawberry Peak in the San Gabriel Mountain Range
[lastupdated format="l, F j, Y"] By Leave a Comment
Strawberry Peak is one of those hikes that I have wanted to do for years but never made a priority. It is the tallest mountain in the front range of the San Gabriels, beating San Gabriel Peak by 3 feet, and it stands at 6,164 feet tall. This peak is a great hike, relatively close […]
Mitchell Caverns Tour in Mojave National Preserve
[lastupdated format="l, F j, Y"] By 4 Comments
The Mitchell Caverns in Providence State Park are one of the only show caves in Southern California. They finally reopened after being closed for over five years, and if you haven’t explored them, do it now. The caves are only accessible via a guided tour that happens two days a week and is hard to […]

This experience was provided free of charge, all opinions are my own. Idyllwild is a nice mountain town near Palm Springs that’s a popular destination for people that live in lower elevation like myself.

Searsucker: Upscale American Dining in San Diego
[lastupdated format="l, F j, Y"] By 2 Comments
The Gaslamp area of San Diego is one of the top destinations in the city for both food and drinks. While there are a ton of options for great places to eat, for me Searsucker is one of the best for a nice upscale meal in downtown San Diego. The unique menu here and the relaxed […]
Petco Park Tour in San Diego

San Diego is a baseball city with a stadium right in the heart of downtown. If you happen to be there when a game is going on, then be sure to grab a ticket as it is electric being in the city during a game. If your not there when the Padre’s are playing, it […]
San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park
[lastupdated format="l, F j, Y"] By Leave a Comment
The San Diego Zoo is known worldwide and often voted one of the best zoos you can visit. With over 3,000 animals and almost 100 acres of land, this zoo is massive, and it’s a great place to explore with the whole family. While it can be expensive, I have always found the price to […]
Spruce Street Suspension Bridge: Historic Footbridge in San Diego
[lastupdated format="l, F j, Y"] By Leave a Comment
One of the elements I like about San Diego is how a lot of the historic charm of the city’s past is still on display today. The Spruce Street Suspension Bridge is one of these spots. The bridge was built in simpler times (1912) when a small canyon like this was best crossed via […]
