Now that we're getting used to living in southern California, we've discovered the true appeal of the area: the vast diversity of southwestern geology, flora, fauna, and climate. It's quite possible to get out of the urban sprawl in an hour or so, and find places where you don't see another person for hours at a stretch!
We've been to all of the California national parks in the last couple of years, and many of the national parks in the southwest. In addition, the eastern Sierra and Mojave have given us many weekends of driving fun as we poke around.
As we explore more and more, I'll write up descriptions of the places we've been and interesting things we've found. I'll include GPS coordinates, photos, and small sections of GoogleEarth screens to show you more about our trips. I hope you enjoy them as we have!
