maxlance1 I know we visit nature to escape the trappings of work and city life.

In the 1930s, someone thought it would be a good idea to build a road in the middle of a mountain range that would forever be uninhabitable. This was before Sim City. When they hit a giant dip over a river, they built a beautiful arch [...]

Drove over to the coast, then took the 101 and the 1 back to L.A. It was cloudy. Northern part of the coast was covered in fog, best parts are the rocky coasts, massive cliffs and lighthouses, if you’re into that kind of thing. Screw lighthouses [...]

Chandler Boulevard One of the newest bicycle right-of-ways in the city, this stretches across nearly the entire valley floor from one side of boring, ghetto suburbia to the other.
