Lone Pine, Ca

These were taken in a John Wayne -themed cafe in Lone Pine, California.

Redwoods

California Redwoods, One of the Wonders of the World, surely.

I'd usually start my days' drive just before dawn, when the raods were empty. Along the 101 from Northern Oregon and to Humboldt, California, the ocean fog added drama to the view.

Riders

The long, lonely Highway 395 is popular with bikers. I'd spend most evenings in biker bars along this route, where I'd get some tips for good places to see. These geezers were staying in the same motel as me.

Yosemite

Just outside Yosemite. This burnt tree bark looked like it was silver-plated in the sunlight.

Let's wake this thread up a little!

I finally moved back to the Puget Sound (Tacoma area) from Oregon. I love it up here and I'm glad to be back at least.

Are there Litsters in these parts now? Tacoma certainly, or the South end of the Sound; even Seattle.

I have to ask; what's this got to do with writing ?

I have to ask; what's this got to do with writing ?

Damn little. I've seen many similar threads on photography and music boards, where they make more sense. "Where should I go in [area] for the best [photo subjects / music sites]?" Might make sense on LIT for inquiries like, "Where should I go in [area] for the best [sex sites / gloryholes]?" Or maybe, "Where do the pr0n-makers hang out?"

For relevance, OP could write a travelogue of sexual adventures. "Visited Trinity River. Got fucked by Sasquatch. Not very sanitary. A Syrian hooker in Arcata gave me crab lice. Those Portuguese twin sisters in Crescent City giggled as they stabbed each louse with a needle. But I got a good licking in Mendocino."

The perpetual fog in Brookings, Oregon, forced my family to move to Monterrey, CA.
