Celebrate Black Friday with friends at Tuna Canyon Park
As someone who enjoys his occasional blatant consumerism, I spent this year’s favorite shopping day in much more serene surroundings. After an incredible brunch with friends in Topanga Canyon, we journeyed on to Tuna Canyon Park. The air was so clear we could see for miles, even all the way to downtown Los Angeles. After the sun set, Sushi (and Sake). What a wonderful day.
Ride though the forest on the steam locomotive Dixiana!
Departing from Roaring Camp to the summit of Bear Mountain, this was one of the most amazing train rides I have been on. Certainly the most picturesque just beside Henry Cowell Redwood State Park.
This railroad has the distinction of having the steepest grade in North America! The 9.25% grade didn’t seem so extreme when we rode it, however it did require the train to switch back and reverse direction in order to complete the journey. I got a real education from the Brakeman on how a steam locomotive operates. Enjoy my photographs.

Berries are back!
Farmers markets have berries and for a limited time, you can find Golden Raspberries! These raspberries are sweeter and more delicious then your conventional raspberries (notable for their color. More yellow/orange then red). I love it when they are available and I stock up because they are usually gone by June. I also picked up some mulberries because I had never had them before. Despite an infamous monkey and weasel known for circling a mulberry bush, I found them quite ordinary. A novelty for berry lovers like me, but nothing so special it must be tasted.
