My favorite Mexican food. Besides the basics the seafood dishes that I have tried are really good. Shrimp wrapped in bacon with Chipotle sauce (w/tortilla's rice and beans) is so good.

Boo Hoff Trail
Boo Hoff TrailGreat hiking trail
This is a GREAT dog park. Make sure to map it or plug in the address on your phone. It is in the middle of a residential neighborhood so you wont see it from any of the main streets. It is really big and has the large dog and small dog sections fenced off. I only have experience with the big dog said but it is clean and the dogs and owners are all really friendly.

2 hour drive. This is my home away from home. The Lake is fun in the summer and this is the closest skiing and snowboarding in the winter. I have a cabin there called Papa Doug's Dream. It is available for rental.

Joshua Tree National Park is located in southeastern California. Declared a U.S. National Park in 1994 when the U.S. Congress passed the California Desert Protection Act, it had been a U.S. National Monument since 1936. It is named for the Joshua trees native to the park. It covers a land area of 790,636 acres—an area slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island. A large part of the park, some 429,690 acres, is a designated wilderness area. Straddling the border between San Bernardino County and Riverside County, the park includes parts of two deserts, each an ecosystem whose characteristics are determined primarily by elevation: the higher Mojave Desert and lower Colorado Desert.
