Hiking in Red Rock Canyon
Hiking and driving are both forms of travel, so I’m expanding this blog to include my hikes (mainly because driving has recently become uber expensive!).
A couple weeks ago I took a hike up through Red Rock Canyon. It is an offshoot of Temescal Canyon located in the hills between Malibu and Van Nuys. There’s a tiny art community, though heavily trafficked on weekends.
Just north of...

Hiking Trails
Funny little aside: Since I mentioned the $3.99/gallon gas last month, price has already gone up to $4.25. At this rate it will be $7 before the end of the year! Anyway, today I was going to talk about the benefits of vitamins, or the benefits of vitamins online to be more specific, but I’ve switched my topic to Hiking trails. When I first decided to develop washboard abs, I figured hiking...
Death Toll for Road Trips

First off, I’m currently promoting this weight loss shake and these...

Irony! And no more omega 3 capsules for me!
Ack! Only a month after I bragged so much about never getting a ticket, and I get into my first accident! It’s almost too painful to write about. I was driving through Arizona when my car broke down in the middle of the night. All I had with me was a few changes of clothes and some multivitamins and omega 3 capsules. I paid a hundred bucks to have my car towed 3 miles and then I paid another...

Driving Cross Country
I love to drive and this blog catalogues my road experiences. I turned 16 in March of 1998. I was living in a small town in southern Missouri, and I decided to take off toward Colorado to go snowboarding. I’d had my driver’s licence for less than a week. In fact, this was back before instant computerized identity, so I didn’t even have a driver’s licence card yet. I had a...
