CALIFORNIA -" (One of the most Beautiful paces on Earth)
" One of the most beautiful coastlines in the world " California, (BIG SUR). California to me has to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth, next to Alaska and Oregon.

And where do you think I traveled to? (California) of course! I use to hitch-hike, that's right hitch when … (11 comments)

happy pics: The Story of 'OLD GLORY' for The Fourth of July!
- 07/03/08 03:43 AM
"OLD GLORY!"
This famous name was coined by Captain William Driver, a ship-master of Salem, Massachusetts, in 1831. As he was leaving on one of his many voyages aboard the brig CHARLES DOGGETT - and this one would climax with the rescue of the mutineers of the BOUNTY - some friends presented him with a beautiful flag of twenty four stars.

- 07/02/08 09:34 AM
Here is a great shot of the (OLD GLORY) flying in Big Pine, California. This post is for everyone celebrating THE FOURTH OF JULY, and my "Active Rain Family!" I shot this photo in 2007 when I was visiting the Inyo National Forest in the White Mountains. If you saw one of my older posts on The Bristlecone Pine, this is the turnoff that proceeds to the where the old Bristlecone Pines are.
The road that goes to the old trees is very dangerous and whindy, so you have to be very careful. So if you are interested in looking at The Bristlecone Pines if … (2 comments)

Dream comes true (this one's for you Nu Nu)
This is a true story of a dream come true, and I have dedicated this story to my lovely wife Nu Nu.
The story started back in fall of 2001 back in the state of Minnesota. Nine years ago I had gone through a terrible divorce with a child involved. The divorce was so bad I said to myself like others do, I would never ever get married again.
I lived in a small house two hours north of … (4 comments)
