Iva Fallon and I cant get up!
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_1355.jpg
Pretty easy day with just a few hours of driving and a couple stops to explore Camping World in Vacaville, CA and Boomtown in NV. I expected a little more from CW, but Capella in Boomtown was more than I …
Ditching this popsicle stand
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_1354.jpg
That’s it… we are outta here. The van is packed with all our belongs, food, and water for a 4-5 day drive and visits to the parks. Hopefully we can give updates as we travel…
Finishing off a month long road trip
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/August_2010_roadtrip.png
In a few days, Timmy and I point eastward and start driving back home. We have been “on the road” for 31 consecutive days now and both of us are looking to get back to Colorado. Just like our trip …
Exploratorium

We spent Imelda’s final full-day in California in San Francisco at the Palace of Fine Arts and Exploratorium (we decided to leave Fisherman’s Wharf off the schedule). Again, it had been years since our last visit and many things had …
Santa Cruz
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TExWJXxjO4I/AAAAAAAAJAg/sKhI2Tbf0gY/IMG_0920.JPG?imgmax=160
Following our birthday, the three of us spent the day in Santa Cruz and the beach boardwalk. While I was hoping to get some nice California weather, we did not. Instead, it was a day at the beach in 60-degree …
Ocampo family get-together
Imelda flew into CA today and after a brief visit with my Mother, we went to visit her family for the first time in 2+ years. We shared our first “Guadie’s” meal in over 2 years, met the newest family …
Golden Gate recreation area
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TEO9AQ0MbOI/AAAAAAAAI4M/Odgxplye4w0/s912/IMG_0501.JPG
Timmy and I took the short* drive to the Golden Gate NRA, just north of the bridge. I once visited the old bunkers and gun nests that date well before WW2 when I was a teen out partying with my …
Sudo family reunion
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TEHWSrsguHI/AAAAAAAAIGk/4QRbykyrz54/IMG_0259.JPG?imgmax=400
Almost all the McArthur’s were in the same location last night. Everyone but Danny, Cameron, and Breana made it out for a BBQ. Timmy got to hang out with all his cousins for the first time since last July when …
Mare Island, CA
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TEDY77u6qUI/AAAAAAAAIDc/hSWIgOd-uVw/s640/IMG_0422.JPG
In search of more exercise, I rode my bike to Mare Island to explore the old naval base. 10.5 miles round trip proved to be a good leisurely ride. I made sure to bring the new camera along for some …
Yellowstone National Park
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TDU5R7NjGWI/AAAAAAAAHpk/L7lgSmKCqPA/s160-c/100_6718.JPG
Woke the next morning after a great day in Grand Teton Ntnl Park and started driving straight away. It was only a 25 mile hop to Yellowstone, but we needed to arrive early to ensure a camp site. We succeeded …
