Places pages are a collection of words and pictures of places on Earth, occasionally places that no longer exist. These pages sometimes include drawings, maps, directions, and hours, all to help you find places to visit and inform you of why these places may be of historical significance.

We often take road trips on the weekend throughout Southern California and the rest of the West. In these pages, I will write on some of these trips. In some cases, I will combine elements from several trips to the same area into one proposed trip. In most cases, a page dedicated to one road trip will link to other pages, each featuring an individual stop along that road trip.

The intention, in part, is to help you plan your own road trips.
