California Road Trip

[Yurt]

Just got back from an incredible trip across a good portion of California. Started out in Santa Cruz, headed east to I-5 (hate that road central ca), then south to Palm Springs...San Diego, back north to Manhattan Beach, Santa Barbara, SLO and home. Some pics from the trip.

Harris Ranch. Didn't stay, but great pitstop and check the true leather hide couch...and no, that is not the camera, those are cow hairs sticking up

onwards to palm springs, palm desert actually. the windmills, the awesome hotel we stayed in. if you haven't be to palm desert i highly recommend it. the warm (hot, 110) dry weather feels great, especially lounging in and around the pool.

Those wind farms are cool. I drove past the back in May on my way to Phoenix. Nis Pics, Yurt. I particularly like this one:
