Stout Grove Trailhead, Jedidiah Smith Redwoods

Written by Steve Johnson

Stout Grove Trailhead is located inside Jedidiah Smith Redwoods State Park, just outside of Crescent...

Scotts Bluff National Monument

The trail passed through Nebraska, going through a narrow passage between two ridges known as “Scott’s Bluff”. The significance of Scott’s Bluff is that it was a landmark travelers used...

Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

Written by Steve Johnson

Written by Steve Johnson
flight 93 memorial wall
Ask anyone what they were doing on September 11, 2001, and they’ll remember it like it was yesterday.

Written by Steve Johnson
gettysburg battlefield
Even if you’re not into Civil War history there’s an eerie feeling that will wash over you when you feel the gentle breeze and hear the occasional chirp of a song bird. The grassy field that took the lives of some 50,000 sons still holds the legacy of wives and children who went on...

I'm a "Man in Black", one of those guys who goes around dressed in black suits, looking for people who were abducted by UFOs so that we can keep them quiet. Sash and I travel around in this trailer awaiting orders from headquarters for my next assignment. I can't show you the details of my work, but I can show you how I live.
