Dear All
Wahey! My California Road Trip 2024 has officially begun! On a Wednesday morning, I said goodbye to my cosy Lawndale motel and picked up a hire car near LAX Airport - a black Nissan SUV.

U.S. National Parks are a wonder to behold
As Teddy Roosevelt said, "There is nothing so American as our national parks.... The fundamental idea behind the parks...is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us."

Until one digs into exploring California they do not realize the amount of farmland and small towns. Our parks are a great source of pride. I'm glad they gave you a nice set of wheels. Words of a true traveler, "I've found what I'm looking for, in looking for it". Marvelous! I'm glad you found joy in the serene mountain highways. We are eager for your return to this great land.
