Goin’ To California

Introduction

A lot has changed since I first created this page.  RAther than the couple of years I'd expected to spend in California, I was there for about five weeks.  But the trip there, the time I spent there, and the eventual trip back to my home town of Kalamazoo, Michigan (where I've been trying to go for years anyway) still made for a lot of great photos and stories and video that I want to share with people.  This section, "Goin' To California," features links to stories about the drive from Oxford, NC to Winters, CA over a period of about four days in May, 2009.
