TRAVEL DELIGHT article by: James Thomas Fridas
No Speeding! JUNE 4, 2014
A note for Californians the state legislature has increased fines for traffic offenses to the tune of insane fee's as has ever been extracted from motorists, all I can say is "CRIMINAL"! A friend of mine and his son were returning from Pleasanton and as they went by a cop and a motorist on the side of the road the second car proceeded after my friends son, when they asked what they did he said you didn't pull over to the other lane that will cost you around $700.00!!!
If that's not enough to shock the sh-t out of you I don't know what would, that was as far as I am concerned a true act of totalitarian horse manure!!!!
Its a matter of personal preference, take an RV, take a van, take a truck or a car and a tent, go for the enjoyment and the fun. OK so lets look at where and when. Please remember that all travel is relevant from going to church to going to the mall to going to work, this is technically travel as well!
If you live on the west coast you are at an advantage as to the sites such as Ghost Towns and caverns that are in most western states, on the east coast you are at an advantage for mineral sites for tourists.
Start the with a weekend joint to the country, if you live in a major city in your state there are many places in the country that offer unique viewing for city slickers, take the camera!!!
The Grand Canyon is a major attraction for tourists and it is usually packed to the rafters with tourists especially in the summer months, so is Yosemite with overflow people another major attraction is of course Yellowstone National Park which is another major attraction for the adventurer in you with mean grizzlies who will eat you and your lunch!
However have you ever thought about going to off the beaten path to some of the less traveled scenic sites and places that have as much attraction only less publicity like caverns they are all over the west and there are a few in the east, then there are a host of Ghost Towns there are hundreds throughout the west.
During our writing and various posts I will also review restaurants, hotels motels and other places for your convenience, I will even write about cruise ships, airlines, charters on air, sea and land of a variety for you.
Some of the things I have enjoyed over the years are the auto shows that are held in many communities around my neck of the woods from Marysville to Rocklin to Brentwood in Contra Costa County, I mention that because a football player lived in the other Brentwood in Southern California.
Next we will of course look at a variety of interactions with groups for example would you like to be on a bus charter? Perhaps a group of RVs on a local trip? Maybe a group of auto enthusiasts who go in a group to a certain destination? Maybe trucks going to trucking events? Whatever the event or situation we will write about it here!
