If you don’t let the 5 mile dirt road prevent you from visiting Bodie, you will be in for a treat!
The town is not restored, much is still as it was left behind, and you can explore for hours, look into many windows of what is still standing, for many blocks!

If you’re traveling up Whitney Portal from Lone Pine, you will spot this rock art just as you’re getting into the Alabama Hills.
During multiple trips over the years I have seen different characters on this rock, all were creative!
You can google nightmare rock…😱👏!

We’re driving downhill on the Shafer Trail in light rain.
At this point I’m trying hard to admire the view, and not let myself worry about if I taught my daughter proper off road driving techniques.
You know, no guardrails 😱!

On the way to Hana, high above the pacific, we found this garden carved out of the dense rainforest.
There were incredible views everywhere the trees parted enough to let us get a glimpse of the ocean!
This is east Maui, the rainforest side.

While driving the famous road to Hana on Maui, we stopped at the garden of Eden Arboretum.
The garden has several hiking paths winding up and down the steep terrain through the rain forest.
We came across this charming little rain shelter, but… no rain!

The first cold storm of the season has moved through Southern California.
Just did a walk around the backyard, and yeah, the weeds are coming up like crazy!
But on the bright side, Big Bear mountain has got a good snow cover early in the season!

My little dog got sick today, so we walked around the yard a lot to keep her moving. On and off showers all day, but this beautiful sky was greeting us on the last walk down to the garden shed!
And we’re going to the Vet first thing in the morning 🙁.

The rain is taking a break here in SoCal, so it’s a good time to check on the garden we planted 6 weeks ago.
We’ve been using the fresh lettuce for 2 weeks already.
Some peas will be ready in a few days, and the Trionfo Violetto pole beans are setting nice blossoms.
