Snapdragon looks ominous tonight.

San Diego FC's playoff run has been messing up my travel plans but it will be worth it if they can win this weekend.

What a meltdown by SDFC. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Last week I visited the ghost town of Belmont in Nevada, maybe the best preserved ghost town in the state, and a place that is showing signs of new life. youtu.be/Bp2IcEQsWEM

Once Upon a Time in the West, in my opinion, is one of the greatest movies ever made. Claudia Cardinale was a major part of why. RIP.

Came across what I can only guess is Big Boy's British cousin while in Bath. Does anyone know the story behind this guy?

Made it to the other side of that ley line from this week's video, and I'm still not sure about any special energies... Somehow we brought the heat with us, though. Sorry about that England.

This airport gift shop gets an A+ for product placement, but I have to wonder why there are multiple Jaws covers currently on the newsstand in 2025.

The story of the time Arizona formed a navy to go to war with California youtu.be/2s_kh_iXye4

What it looked like crossing the desert between El Centro in Yuma in the 1920s. There was still a wooden plank road across the Algodones Dunes for part of the route until 1926.

This is what I envisioned when I heard of the Yarrow Ravine Rattlesnake Habitat Area. www.yahoo.com/news/rattles...

Wow. It's been awhile since I've felt an earthquake like the one we just had.

This has to be the saddest Smokey Bear poster I've seen.

Have been in Japan for the last 9 days and while it's been great, I can't wait to get away from the crowds again.

I just saw the news that Buc-ees is opening a location in Goodyear, AZ in summer 2026. I still haven't been to one yet, but I guess it wont be too long either way.

Can't believe it's been 2069 years since Julius Caesar was assassinated. Doesn't seem like that long ago... Took this picture of the spot it happened in 2023.

Can I Use a 1930s Guide to Tour Old Town San Diego? youtu.be/bnOwCpKXT1E

My thoughts are with the friends and family of Andrew Cross, Desert Drifter. Way too young. RIP.

The University of Arizona in Tucson has a tree that is out of this world. On 1971’s Apollo 14 moon mission, astronaut Stuart Roosa brought over a hundred seeds with him. These seeds orbited the moon, and when they came back to Earth, they were sent all over the world.

A few days ago, I was at San Diego's Mt. Hope Cemetery and happened to see that Raymond Chandler, the author of the Phillip Marlowe books, is buried there. I had no idea he had any connection to San Diego, but I guess he moved to La Jolla in 1946.

I thought I was in Jurassic Park for a second yesterday.

Catching up on the latest updates on Desert Drifter is absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts are with him and his family.

We visited the Magic Castle in Hollywood today. It was a really fun experience but making it through the traffic in LA is always the real trick.

I'm hearing good things about American Primeval (especially since it's leading a lot of people to the video I did on the Mountain Meadows Massacre site), but I'm behind on so many shows. Is American Primeval worth watching over 1923?

Peter Lebeck tree at Fort Tejon. Not much is known about Lebeck, other than he was killed by a bear and buried by this tree in 1837.

Happy New Year!

In Puerta del Sol in Madrid, there is a stone marker on the ground where all distances in Spain are measured from.

Some cool neon at Puerta del Sol in Madrid. Picture taken last week. While I was there, they were setting up all the Christmas lights and wish we could have been there to see them lit up.

A view towards the Castle Dome Mountains in Arizona's Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.

Just setting this thing up.
