Adventures in the new year -- 2015

First off-highway tracks of the year, into the vivid setting sun.

The tent site was in 3ft. of snow and under a full moon, it was a bright night.

The following week we ventured away from the mountains and toward the coast, stopping here at Yuma territorial prison on the way. This is the cell block, it must have been miserable to be here in the summer.

Wildlife on the Pier.

I can't wait to go sailing someday.

Cruising the PCH on the way to San Fransisco. The M3 is a very fine car for this road.

HDR of Big Sur, a beautiful drive. I'm excited to come back and do more exploring here soon.
