Heigh Ho, Safari-O, a Hunting We Will Go

Wearing one’s colors, red (Bloods) blue (Crips) or green (Forest Service) may present an obstacle to our happy hunting party….but not a conclusion. Grab your galoshes and follow me.

.Since the loss of a million beating hearts Station Fire, the argument for ahunting seasonseems a moot point. In truth, most all recreational experiences associated with our charred mountains have been postponeduntil further noticeNone the less, it hasn’t curtailed our bloodlust here at Pasadena Adjacent. “We shall overcome” or try; trading in corpuscles for petrochemical byproducts. The loveless Ms Havisham will be in charge of the arrows and thehapless hikerhas generously supplied our party with bows (fashioned from the remains of her dead banana tree).

Jesus to Jurassic: A Hole in One

There’s more to Apple Valley then a stuffed palomino. Fellow travelers, if we truly wish to score a hole in one, we must trudge further back on the evolutionary scale. Beyond the sands of the “Last Supper” to a time and place where the Jurassic and commerce once met. Unsuccessfully.

Visionary Lonnie Coffman’s 1970′s stone age dream was to create a miniature golf course on the edge of a tumble weed wilderness. Assisting him in his vision was Air Force serviceman and Coffman’s tenant Gregory L. Wicker, who provided labor in exchange for rent
