Reflecting on my journey through Yosemite National Park a year ago, I’m drawn back to the majestic rock faces that define its iconic landscape. These towering monoliths, etched by time and the elements, tell a story far older than human history.
Astoria, Oregon, is a beautiful river town with plenty of things to do. One of the best ways to experience Astoria is to stroll along the waterfront. Several times a month, my wife and I visit Astoria, and while my wife is at her appointment, I often have about an hour at a time to…
