Steinbeck Country

Driving along for miles through the rolling green oak covered hills
and wide blue skies of Steinbeck Country, where we lived nearly 20
years ago. We had forgotten how beautiful, wide open, and warm this
area is.

Mission San Miguel Area

The Touareg and Burritow are dwarfed by the walls of the mission and
mountains of the coastal range, separating the area from the central
valley. My Miguel likes to make a regular pilgrimage here. This
Mission is still recovering from the 2003 earthquake.
