Outdoor Adventures

While camping in San Simeon California we spotted the gorgeous gnarled old tree obviously sculpted by the wind in the area.

This elephant seal seems to be getting comfortable on the sand, they sure bellow a lot!

While out riding the RZR we found this old abandoned homestead with the well still intact! It is small, but I’m sure it kept its tenant safe when night fell! It had 2 windows and both had pretty nice views!

While out exploring in the desert of Arizona we noticed this beautiful and very rare crested (sometimes called crowned) Saguaro.

While out exploring in our side by sides we stumbled upon a pretty arch that looks out onto the cactus.

Beautiful February ride on the ATV’s in the desert of Arizona, keep your hands in those cholla cactus will get caught cha if you’re not careful!

We watched this mural being painted last year, this year I wanted to revisit it to see it up close.

We stumbled upon this old homestead that was cleverly built into the side of an overhang near a wash in Arizona, nearby (not pictured) was a small grave for a child named Annie, also nearby was a name with the year 1946 next to it. Notice in the video the stove system they built.

Out for a day ride in Arizona took us to Blue Tank Wash, great little canyon...we had a blast!

Another video of this adorable fawn and her Mom the fawn. Captured in Utah near the Paiute trail.

While visiting The Badlands National Park we came upon these little big horned sheep, a motorcycle had zoomed by and they ran up the hill to safety.

Flocks Of Sandhill Cranes coming in to roost for the night at San Luis national wildlife refuge in California.

The Bar J Wranglers located in Wilson, Wyoming perform their unique version of Dueling Banjo's, both fun and entertaining!

This bison or Buffalo did not seem to have a care in the world as he sauntered by our truck. As we drove we came upon his herd not too far from where we found him,

A couple of years back we visited the the Bar J Chuckwagon where we enjoyed a very good meal and wonderful entertainment! The Bar J Wranglers are so musically talented, funny and entertaining! If you like a good chuckwagon meal and entertainment you will enjoy the Bar J Wranglers. They are located in Wilson, Wy.

While visiting Oregon we had to stop by Astoria to see the historic column built in 1926! When we visited people were allowed to climb up the column to the top! You could also purchase a biodegradable airplane to toss off of the top of the column. If you get the chance it is well worth the visit!

There were some neat clouds and rainbow colors forming within them so I decided to do a time lapse, I find it relaxing.

Seen this nest right outside of a museum, enjoyed watching them being fed by Mama bird.

I put my trail camera out while camping in Utah near the Paiute trail, captured these two roaming around.

One of the many gorgeous Redwood trees at Mount Madonna State Park near Santa Cruz in California. Very nice park with lots of nice hiking trails.

Out riding ATV's when we came upon this cute and curious little calf, she really seemed to want to paly.

Of course we had to visit the Volcano National Park and of course we had to walk on one of the Lava Field's, it was remarkable and other worldly! I hope to go back someday soon!

Taking a break from hiking in Yosemite we set near a creek, much to our surprise this pair of ducks boldly showed up obviously wanting some of what we had! We had a good laugh, but did not hand out any crackers.

The Brotherhood tree can be found in Klamath, California at the Trees of Mystery. It is one of many wonders that one can see while visiting, we need to go back!

A short clip of Shoshone Falls in Idaho, we visited in a dryer year so now we must go back when they have had a rainier season. It was still quite impressive!
