We stopped at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve in search of spectacular views and photos, but found more than we ever expected.

Point Pinos Lighthouse is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the west coast. A visit to the lighthouse is also an authentic trip back in time.

Have you ever witnessed nature do something absolutely incredible? We did when we walked the Prewett Trail and saw the High Peaks revealed.

Scarecrow contests? Are you kidding me? I never knew they could be so much fun. We’d actually heard about the Cambria Scarecrow Festival from a friend before we left on our trip. It sounded intriguing, but after seeing the scarecrow contest in Solvang, we were eager to make a stop in Cambria.

In planning our road trip to Pinnacles National Park, I didn’t originally plan on a stop in Solvang. The town actually became a stop on the trip for very practical reasons—lodging price, driving distance, and location for the next day’s travel. The truth is, neither Kathy nor I had done anything more than the typical tourist visit (drive into town, take a few novel photos, sample the food, and leave). As we discovered, that’s a huge mistake.

It’s hard for me to believe that I haven’t written about charity scams in nearly three years. A lot has changed, and a lot hasn’t, in the wide world of charitable giving scams. One thing that hasn’t changed is that charitable donations surge during these last three months of the year. The charities know this, and so do the scammers. That’s one reason October 17-21 was Charity Fraud Awareness Week

We arrived at the Inn at the Pinnacles late Thursday afternoon. Our plan was to use the Inn, which is on the west side of the park, as our base. We’d explore the east side on Friday, the west on Saturday. We’d get to see the High Peaks from both sides. By evening, ground fog filled the valley. No worries. The Inn was well above that blanket of soft, fluffy cotton.

We’d taken a Hop-on/Hop-off tour that took us to the Fukuoka Garden, a Japanese Garden for Auckland’s, and Lakeside Park, a massive park that surrounds a lake. While both places involve a central body of water surrounded by landscaped grounds, they couldn’t be more different.

There are a bunch of cool things about Carlsbad. The funky little downtown village, the beach, and the Carlsbad Flower Fields. What, you might ask, is so special about a few flowers? As the saying goes, let me count the ways.

The Google Voice Verification Code scam is new to me. By now, most of us are familiar with authentication codes sent by websites to confirm our identity. Leave it to the scammers, however, to find a way to use that to their advantage.
