In my opinion, San Diego is one of the best places to live, not just in the United States, but in the world. San Diego County encompasses all types of terrain from the beach, to the mountains, the desert, and everything else in between; and with its fine weather, all of these features are accessible […]

In the vast history of California, there are more than a few people who have an outlandish idea, dedicate their life to it, then create something beautiful that will be seen for decades. I would put Leonard and Salvation Mountain in this camp, along with Nitt Witt Ridge and now the Forestiere Underground Gardens. While the underground […]

[lastupdated format="l, F j, Y"] By 8 Comments
For as long as I have been coming to LA, I have always wanted to visit this theater. I can honestly say that it is not something I had high hopes for enjoying, but when Atlas Obscura visited I figured I would tag along and see what it entailed. I am glad I did as this place […]

I am always on the lookout for the stranger parts of California, so when Last Adventurer and I went and explored Anza-Borrego we decided we had to stop at the Ranchita Yeti and inquire about its history. This massive Yeti can be easily seen on the drive to Anza-Borrego on Motezuma-Borrego Highway. History After a […]

I am not even beginning to complain though as the Galleta Meadows Sculptures in Anza-Borrego are some of my favorite things to take new adventurers to. There are over 130 and as you are driving around they […]
