While driving along HWY 395, I came across this building that caught my attention in a small town named Cartago. I am going to call this The Orange Building. This really is an interesting roadside attraction that would definitely stand out amidst all that barren land.

If you see a red ... Continue Reading...

Up until this last trip that I did around late October, I only visited in the middle of the day or as my last stopover on my trip before enduring a 5-hour drive back home to Orange County. Even though this was the last scheduled stop on my trip, I made sure that I reach Alabama Hills ... Continue Reading...
