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.

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.

It’s been a few years since we visited San Diego’s Maritime Museum, but these ships are still on display at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. They’re a great illustration of the difficulties of life on the high seas before today’s modern vessels.

We walked down State Street on a whim, not realizing what we were about to see. But in the distance, there was music. And people wearing colorful, strange getups. It was all very festive and fun. Slowly, it began to sink in. We were in Santa Barbara for summer solstice week.

Our EV road trip began at 6:45 am. A bright and sunny morning, it was the perfect time to leave San Diego. And a lousy time to drive through LA. After a quick stop in Costa Mesa for coffee, it felt like we were being bounced from one freeway red zone to another.

Originally, I hadn’t intended to share these photos of the Palm Desert Holocaust Memorial because I know how emotionally challenging they can be. In fact, I took relatively few photos during our visit. My wife, Kathy, took at least as many as I did. Some of these are hers; some are mine.

The year was 1855. It had been over 200 years since Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo arrived in San Diego. Since that time, sailors had been at the mercy of poor navigation charts and the California coast’s notorious fog.

For the first time in two years, we ventured out into the world with the sole purpose of seeing the sights. We’d wanted to go to Cabrillo National Monument on San Diego Bay for several months, but the stars never quite lined up. Then, it happened.

Wild Dog Revenge, book 6 in the Kenya Kanga Mystery series, is named after the African Wild dogs I’ve seen in Kenya.
