This page begins our Fourth and 1/2 journey.
It includes San Diego and Julian
I took a 3 month break again from the first half of my 4th journey to raise funds to keep this show going. I want to thank the first half sponsors for giving me the confidence that this show CAN work.
And I want to thank my future second half sponsors.
My tentative plans are going through Cali, Arizona, Texas, New Orleans (for Mardi Gras), San Antonio then on to the pyramids of Southern Mexico and Guatemala for our 2012 Reality or Myth theme.
So without further adieu:
Here I'm leaving Las Vegas for the fourth time.
Except it's the second half. I left Jacksonville in August, 2011
Check out the huge towers in the middle of nowhere near Primm, Nevada
Leaving Las Vegas 4 1/2
I drove south down I-15 and headed through the Mojave National Preserve and the Kelso Sand Dunes. Check out the amazing rock formations at the end of this video
Mojave National Preserve
Out in the middle of nowhere, I saw what I thought was an ore mine. When I got closer, I found out it was Amboy Crater. A volcanic cone. WOW!
Amboy Crater
I couldn't help it. I had to take the over a mile hike to the crater and climb up it. What a view. I did a Native American dance for the first time in my life to honor our mother earth. I got the inspiration from Robert Morningsky. He was the only person allowed to dance on the Pyramid of Giza.

Here is one of the stops I made off the trolley, walked around, and then jumped back on the tour and finished it. That's what neat about this tour company. I did a walking tour of Seaport Village.

The next 2 videos are of the Seal Tour. It's run by Old Town Trolley Tours. It's a huge couple hundred thousand dollar thingamadoo that can drive and go on the water. We drove to Shelter Island first, then went into the water and saw sea lions and dolphins. Check it out.
