Point Reyes Lighthouse

A few years ago my wife took a trip to San Francisco.  While up there she decided to fulfill one of her bucket list items, visit a lighthouse.

She made the trek down to the Point Reyes Lighthouse.  Established in 1870 it is approximately 300 steps down to this magnificent building.  Below is a video montage of the photographs she took on her trip.

Got gas?

America lives on fossil fuels.  While we are all leaning towards hybrids and fuel efficient cars, back in Detroit's heyday the gasoline was the the liquid that fueled our travels. 
Times have changed and gas stations now have multiples of pumps, mini marts, and even fast food restaurants built in. These one stop shops may service our needs but they lack the style that the gas stations of yesteryear had.


I am fortunate that I have been able to document some vintage gas stations that, while no longer in service,
still exist in one form or another.  These buildings remind us of the days of the family road trip, Route 66, roadside attractions, and in general, a simpler way of life.
