First Post 2012 – California Dreamin’

Posted in Uncategorized on February 2, 2012 by Ben-G

Well, here we are in sunny San Diego. It took four days to get down here, including one spent with friends in Las Vegas. Monida was a little snowy but passable. Malad Summit was closed, so we had to camp at a gas station. Made it to Vegas the net day.

SoCal is nuts. People everywhere. We’re camped in the I-5 Wilderness Corridor – that is, the 200 yds between I-5 and the railroad. The Sounds of Silence it ain’t. I looked in the rearview mirror today and there was nobody right on my bumper. I thought the world must have ended.  It’s like stirring up an anthill.

The photography has been pretty good. La Jolla has pelicans, sea lions and seals all within about 500 yds, so I’ve done that every day. Landscapes are harder to find. We went to Torrey Pines tonight and that has some potential (we held off due to the golf tournament over the weekend)so we’re going to extend a couple days to try and get a good sunset. After that it’s over to Arizona, probably for most of February.
