The grape vineyards extend over the last hill, and these are just the ones you can see from the road
This is just one of the many places for wine tasting in this area.
It has rained recently and the hills and fields are lush green, very beautiful spring (even though it's still winter)
This is the marina, just north of Sterns Wharf.
Homes here are mostly over $1M each, even small ones.
We had to pass under this bridge on our way to another beach SP.
These are part of the Santa Ynez mountians just outside of Gaviota.
This is part of Hwy 101, a little north of Santa Barbara. It follows the coast for quite a way.
A view of the bluff just north of our campground last night. The gap between the rocks was cut for the road (Hwy 1)
This large alluvial fan was composed of rock and sand - maybe a sand dune, but up against the rock cliffs?
We saw a lot of homes built on hillsides such as this. We also saw a few area's that had suffered mudslides, not a good combination.
This was just after Hwy 1 left the LA basin and turned off to go to Santa Monica. Most of the bluffs and hills for the next 27 miles show signs of erosion.
We drove through many miles of burned out landscapes on our way through the pass east of San Diego on Hwy 94.
Mom took this shot of the very rocky pass east of San Diego on I-8.
The fire was on or about October 26, 2007, but already most of the hillsides are covered with very lush grass. Some tree's are beginning to show some green regrowth
ORV (Off Road Vehicles) are a BIG hobby out here. There are several campgrounds set aside just for ORV folks and their equipment.
Another view of the Imperial Sand Dunes in SE California.
It had rained a few days before we drove through the Imperial Sand Dunes in SE California, causing some beautiful wildflowers.
Arizona uses a lot of water to irrigate the desert. These Egrets don't seem to mind. This was near the Painted Rocks Petroglyphs area.
This is the main building and gift shop in front of the entrance to the Colossal Cave. It was built by the CCC in the 1930's.
This was actually at the Colossal Cave County Park, but similar scenery to Saguaro National Park which is up the road about 7 miles
The ends appear to be a fuzzy white, probably getting ready to bloom in a couple of weeks.
There is a 14 mile loop road you can drive through Saguaro National Park. This was along that road.
Tuscon is in the Sonoro Desert, which is the only desert where Saguaro can be found. Other cacti grow here also however.
Saguaro (pron. saw-WAH-row). A 15' tall Saguaro such as this is probably about 70 years old.
